"Are you afraid of petition?"
"I have never feared petition, and I encourage petition among my disciples. But I understand the overwhelming advantage of those who have prehended the law’s true intent against those of the same level. Without surpassing a major realm, it is almost impossible to resist. I do not wish for the Ti Hu Pill I refined to end up harming the lives of the Luotian disciples. Hence, I need this promise! As for the next generation, it will depend on their own abilities."
Jiuling Yuanjun had no argument against these words.
In the past, he admired Luo Chen’s ability to battle those above his realm. A hundred years ago, he himself was a whole realm higher than Shi Ju and had mastered means of slaughter, yet he could not kill him. Now that he has understood the law’s true intent, he finally prehends how terrifying the power boost is for a Nascent Soul True Master!
Luo Chen’s concern is indeed reasonable.
He might be able to ensure goodwill toward Luotian Sect, but what about others?
The Dong Yan Sect Elder’s failure leading to demonic deviation can be overlooked, but what about the one in White Deer Cave?
And the two from Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion’s Sword Realm and the Void Emperor Sect’s Bai Xu Zi, both of whom have prehended the law’s true intent.
Ironically, their relationship with Luotian Sect is not particularly close.
These are just those who have revealed themselves. Among the thirteen sects that received the Ti Hu Pill, who knows how many have not shown their true achievements?
Jiuling Yuanjun is unsure of their future attitude towards Luotian Sect, but if he were Luo Chen, he would certainly be reluctant to hand over such a great foundation, only to allow others to reap the benefits.
Just like at Yanfu Mountain, like the Luotian Continent beneath their feet!
"Correspondingly, I will give you a promise."
Suddenly!
Luo Chen spoke these words.
Jiuling Yuanjun lifted his head, looking expectantly at Luo Chen.
"Currently, in the Eastern Wasteland, Fifth Order Spirit Veins are limited. If you reach the point where you must break through the Divine Transformation bottleneck, you may use my seal to cultivate at Yanfu Mountain for a century to attempt a breakthrough. Just like Deng Taiyue now!"
Jiuling Yuanjun felt intrigued.
Luo Chen continued, "It doesn’t matter if you fail, but if you succeed in breaking through to the Divine Transformation, you must not claim another’s nest as your own. I know that daily cultivation for a Divine Transformation Great Power requires Fifth Order Spirit Veins, so I have specifically found a few unclaimed spirit veins in the Wilderness. Although there are slight dangers due to its nature, it is not undevelopable. Moreover, aside from the Eastern Wasteland, the Mountain Sea Realm is vast; you should expand your vision!"
This time, Jiuling Yuanjun was genuinely moved.
He understood the implication of Luo Chen’s words. To provide an example, it could be seen as a large-scale open war.
And such things are not without precedent. Didn’t the Tianyuan Daoist Sect try this, although they failed?
"Alright, I’ve said all I need to say. It’s best if you agree; if not, I don’t mind forgoing my current reputation to ensure the welfare of my legacy."
Jiuling Yuanjun’s body trembled, then he pressed his lips together and bowed deeply to Luo Chen.
"I will convey this condition to all fellow cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland!"
"Go now!"
Luo Chen waved his hand, watching Jiuling Yuanjun leave respectfully.
After his departure, the crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the quiet hall.
"Father, why go to such lengths?"
Luo Chen smiled, "I know you have great aspirations, but these old folks are not easy to deal with. Besides..."
At the end, a trace of melancholy appeared on the man’s face.
"I also don’t want to see friends who once fought alongside me end up opposing the Luotian Sect."
Luo Lingxi was momentarily stunned, faintly realizing that perhaps this was Luo Chen’s true intention.
In truth, that was indeed the case.
Luo Chen wasn’t particularly afraid of the Eastern Wilderness strongmen turning against Luotian Sect.
In the years leading up to his ascension, he appeared leisurely, but in reality, he had meticulously arranged everything for after his departure.
He passed down all the cultivation technique books, cultivation experiences, and prehensive arts he accumulated throughout his life.
He also gifted unused magic items to close acquaintances.
For instance, the full set of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation to Gu Caiyi, the Heart Inquiry Mirror to Cang Long, Xuan Chen Armor currently worn by Luo Lingxi, the Heavenly Stick given to Zeng Yilong, the White Tiger Puppet to Nascent Soul Stage Qin Yuanjiang, the Life-taking Golden Feather to Qu Lingjun’s son Qu Jiu...
The only magic items remaining with him are the Primordial Chaos Tripod, Yuan Tu Sword, Bone Burial Umbrella, and a few storage rings.
Additionally, he secretly left behind three killing moves, known only to Luo Lingxi.
These three moves are Luo Chen’s most prideful techniques!
Thousand Clouds Flowing Together, Star Fire Burning Realm, and one inconspicuous move containing Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire, Qingyang’s Great Handprint, which is nurtured on Yanfu Mountain, growing infinitely over time.
These three moves, even those Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators who have prehended the law’s true intent, would find it hard to face, and even Divine Transformation Great Powers would struggle before them.
Ultimately, Luo Chen truly didn’t want to see dear old friends with ill intentions end up tragically at the hands of his divine powers.
He hopes they can make the right decisions!
