Chapter 1014: Shouyang Dao Discussion, Four Emperors Welcome Guests

In Shouyang Mountain.

On the bluestone path in the mountains, two figures walked side by side.

The man was tall and handsome, the woman radiant; walking together, they looked like a pair of immortal lovers.

"Caiyi, you've lost quite a bit of weight!" The man held the woman's hand, his eyes full of pity.

Gu Caiyi used her other hand to tuck the hair hanging in front of her eyes behind her ear, revealing her small, oval face. She smiled slightly: "Compared to the thousands of dangers and difficulties you have encountered outside, I have only been cultivating in seclusion for a while; what does losing a bit of weight count for? And as long as I can help you, even if it's bitter, I am willing!"

Luo Chen shook his head and sighed lightly.

Back when his realm was still low and his strength weak, his view of people and things was relatively utilitarian.

The people he got to know were mostly useful people.

The friends around him had to shine as much as possible for him.

Even to put it bluntly, the union with Sima Huiniang back then, besides being half-pushed and half-willing, was not without the intention of binding Sima Huiniang, the manager of the Luotian Sect, through a closer relationship.

At that time, Luo Chen urgently needed various cultivation resources, so he tried his best to squeeze every bit of strength from the friends around him.

But after Luo Chen cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm, and it happened to be a chaotic time, the Luotian Sect was actually a "burden" to him.

During this period, Luo Chen was no longer so utilitarian.

Or rather, toward his pillow-mate, friends, and the Luotian Sect, he no longer focused on driving and utilizing them, but instead became a towering tree, shielding them from the wind and rain.

Especially when Luo Chen's strength skyrocketed, and he didn't even put ordinary Nascent Soul True Persons in his eyes, the Luotian Sect's help to him was almost zero.

Therefore, even though Luo Chen was about to face a behemoth like the Tianyuan Dao Sect, he subconsciously didn't think about what the Luotian Sect cultivators could help him with.

He didn't even want the Luotian Sect cultivators to get involved, in case he died, at least these relatives and friends could live well.

But what Luo Chen didn't expect was that the weak people he had protected back then had grown up unknowingly and were standing firmly behind him.

Even Gu Caiyi had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage!

This was somewhat unexpected.

However, thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable.

Gu Caiyi's aptitude couldn't be considered good; she had even failed to build her foundation once, and it was Luo Chen who spent a lot of effort to save her.

However, it was precisely that failure to build her foundation that made Gu Caiyi determined to lay a good foundation, climbing the peak step by step, steadily and surely.

For so many years, she hadn't been greedy for high positions in the sect, had given up wealth and power, and had even restrained the jealousy she often staged with Sima Huiniang, just putting all her heart into cultivation.

With Luo

Chen as a general direction, with the guidance of a veteran Nascent Soul like Ling Fengzi from time to time, plus the full supply of abundant resources from the Luotian Sect, she finally broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

This year, Gu Caiyi was over four hundred years old, approaching the five-hundred-year limit of the Golden Core.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao did not fail those who worked hard.

She succeeded, not only improving her realm but also extending her life by five hundred years!

Luo Chen gently squeezed that soft, boneless hand and sighed with emotion: "Who would have thought that we, who were squeezed into the four-in-a-row courtyard of the Great River Market back then, could walk to this point?"

Gu Caiyi was also incomparably moved. The small Great River Market not only produced two Nascent Soul True Persons, one physical cultivation Fourth-Realm expert, but also several Golden Core cultivators.

And all of this was a miracle that appeared only because of following Luo Chen.

She really hadn't misjudged the person back then!

Gu Caiyi looked at the man's face with hard contours beside her, filled with reverence, but also containing a bit of worry.

"Husband, do you really want to deal with the Tianyuan Dao Sect?"

Luo Chen said calmly: "Not just the Tianyuan Dao Sect, there is a great possibility that I will have to face a Soul Transformation Great Power."

Gu Caiyi's expression shook, and a look of fear appeared on her face subconsciously.

She grabbed Luo Chen's hand tightly. "Husband, why must it be like this? With the number of top experts in our Luotian Sect today, and with your shocking ability, plus the fact that the Eastern Wasteland doesn't have a true master now, we can live well in the Eastern Wasteland. The Luotian Sect can become the number one sect in the Eastern Wasteland, and you, Husband, will still be the number one expert of the human race in the Eastern Wasteland respected by ten thousand people. Given time, even if you, Husband, ascend to the Dao, it is not impossible!"

Hearing this, a bitter smile that had long been absent appeared on Luo Chen's face.

If it were really like this, that would be great.

He shook his head. "Those have no meaning."

Gu Caiyi was puzzled. "What is meaning? What deep hatred does the Tianyuan Dao Sect have with you, Husband, that you must resort to blades and soldiers?"

Luo Chen said softly: "Breaking through to Soul Transformation and being carefree for a long life is the meaning. And to take that solid step on the road to longevity, I must kill my way into the Tianyuan Dao Sect and seize a treasure."

Gu Caiyi was still blank.

For the past hundred years, regarding Luo Chen's situation, they had only seen the surface and didn't know the specific situation.

Only people relatively close to him, like Wang Yuan and Gu Caiyi, vaguely sensed Luo Chen's urgency.

It was an urgency that was willing to risk death to forcibly improve his strength!

And the real opportunity for the Luotian Sect to know that Luo Chen would deal with the Tianyuan Dao Sect originated from an old man who came across the sea to visit the Luotian Sect.

Zhou Yunshen!

After sending his grandson Zhou Fuyou to the Tiannan Dao Palace,

he didn't return directly to his family.

Instead, before his limit arrived, he quietly came to the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world and, by showing Luo Chen's token, once visited the Luotian Sect.

It was also at that time that he said this matter as if unintentionally and yet deliberately.

This led to the Luotian Sect mobilizing in full force to support Luo Chen.

But why Luo Chen insisted on dealing with the Tianyuan Dao Sect remained a secret.

Facing his pillow-mate of several hundred years, Luo Chen stared for a moment, didn't choose to hide it, and told the specific situation one by one.

When she heard the point of "missing life soul," the woman covered her mouth subconsciously, her face full of shock.

Then all the doubts were resolved, leaving only indignation and hatred toward the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

"I originally had two plans. On one hand, I improved my strength to prepare for the unexpected, and on the other hand, I cultivated a clone, trying to take back the soul through a curve."

"That clone has part of the divine soul I split, but it doesn't contain the main soul. As long as he breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm and his life soul is captured by the Lanke Chessboard, he can quietly exchange it with the part of my life soul that was taken. At that time, the clone can find an opportunity to leave the Tianyuan Dao Sect and bring my life soul back, and I won't have to be enemies with the Tianyuan Dao Sect."

"After all, that is a behemoth that dominates the world; who would want to truly face it?"

"However, time does not wait for me!"

Luo Chen sighed leisurely, let go of Gu Caiyi's hand, and walked to the edge of the cliff, looking at the prosperous Lingtian Pass city outside Shouyang Mountain.

Because of the Qixia Monarch, the Dao Sect suffered a disaster, and the Central Plains suffered a calamity.

Both entered a tacit stage of recuperation.

But the Tianyuan Dao Sect didn't want to sit and wait for death, intending to gather the Central Plains again and rebuild the Heaven Peak.

Once they truly succeeded, the already precarious situation would be broken in an instant.

God-Descending Array!

This time, what kind of "god" would descend?

It must be a powerful existence capable of dealing with the Qixia Monarch!

At that time, the Tianyuan Dao Sect would no longer fear the Qixia Monarch and could forcibly kill their way into the Eastern Wasteland.

Under these circumstances, even if he could take back his life soul later, in the face of that strength that dominated the world, he would be nothing more than an ant.

Luo Chen believed that the Tianyuan Dao Sect, located in the Profound Realm, had this strength!

After all, the "Profound Realm Secret Record" left by the Southern Border Youli God Monarch before ascending roughly recorded the situation of the Tianyuan Dao Sect, claiming to have over a hundred Great Powers, several True Monarchs, and even Body Integration Great Venerables!

In the face of such existences, let alone not having a life soul, even if he took it back and was lucky enough to break through to Soul Transformation, Luo Chen would not be an opponent, let alone the Luotian Sect under his protection.

The clone Zhou Fuyou had been cultivating for less than a hundred years; even if he was a genius, he still lacked time to

break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Pinning hopes on him was too delusional.

In the end, he still had to rely on himself!

The mountain wind roared, flapping the man's black Daoist robes, and a cold killing intent rose up.

The woman stood behind, looking at his back, the fear and worry on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by firmness as before.

"Caiyi will accompany Husband to the end, no matter who the enemy is!"

Shouyang Mountain was originally just an ordinary spiritual mountain in the Lingtian Pass.

The only special thing about it might be that it contained a Fourth-Rank spiritual vein, which was forcibly moved from other places when all the sects of the Eastern Wasteland jointly funded the construction of the Lingtian Pass to resist the demon race back then.

The reason it gradually became special and became one of the most well-known places in the Lingtian Pass had to start from the most intense period of the human-demon war.

At that time, many Nascent Soul experts gathered in the Lingtian Pass, constantly resisting the invasion of the demon army.

In their spare time, Nascent Soul experts often gathered to exchange cultivation insights and exchange cultivation resources.

Luo Chen's name as the Dan Sect spread during that time.

And there were quite a few existences who had similar ideas to him.

A Lu-surnamed Nascent Soul from the Dongyang Sect didn't have any special talent, but relying on his own connections, he often invited Nascent Soul True Persons to gather.

This was not a private small gathering in a circle of friends, but every time the number was quite large, and the people invited were not limited to his own connection range, but would constantly expand.

The Nascent Soul True Persons who participated in the gathering were from various sects and schools, each with their own strengths, and even the experts of the Mingyuan Sect at that time would be invited from time to time.

Even some Nascent Soul experts who were once hostile would temporarily put aside their prejudices during the gathering at that time and get along harmoniously on the surface.

Not only that!

That Elder Lu would also regularly hold some Dao-preaching conferences for the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment disciples below to answer their questions.

And all of this happened on Shouyang Mountain.

Therefore, these Nascent Soul gatherings and conferences for preaching to Golden Cores were collectively called the [Shouyang Dao Discussion Conference].

Even that Elder Lu was once named the Shouyang Mountain Man.

Unfortunately, after a great battle, that Elder Lu was seriously injured, his physical body was destroyed, and his Nascent Soul escaped by luck, never appearing on the human-demon battlefield again, and the name of Shouyang Mountain Man faded away.

And the Shouyang Dao Discussion Conference he held gradually declined.

Of course, after the war ended, there were still many Nascent Soul True Persons who missed the Shouyang Dao Discussion Conference.

That was the worst of times, because there was always the threat of demon beasts.

That was also the best of times, with a large number of peers

gathering together to discuss and exchange resources, and the cultivation efficiency was far beyond closing the door and building a car at home.

After the war ended, although the Eastern Wasteland was withered, the survivors all had their realms skyrocket, which might not have been without credit for this aspect.

And this time, an existence with a much bigger name than the Shouyang Mountain Man restarted the Dao Discussion Conference on Shouyang Mountain!

Three days had passed, the Dan Sect invited!

Streaks of immensely powerful light flew into the mountain peak, which was not very tall or majestic, under the admiring gaze of countless low-level cultivators in the Lingtian Pass city.

A mountain doesn't have to be high; it is spiritual if there is an immortal.

Today's Shouyang Mountain was the most spiritual immortal mountain in the entire Eastern Wasteland!

Flags were fluttering, and longitude and latitude were hung high.

Dragon-coiling pillars stood tall, and white jade steps were filled with smoke.

Streaks of light descended from the sky, landed on the white jade square, and then their hair stood on end, and they couldn't help but put away their proud momentum.

Only because on the square, four huge demon beasts were now showing their original forms like stone carvings, coldly watching all the guests.

The last one was a white gull. It was incomparably divine, its feathers like sharp swords, and even without spreading its wings, it gave people a sharp feeling.

Fourth-Rank transformed Great Demon, Heavenly Pivot Fighting Gull!

Opposite it was a giant turtle lying on the ground, like a small island. Its eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if it were asleep, but the black water flowing around it made people afraid to approach.

Fourth-Rank desolate beast, Nether Mysterious Turtle!

Further up, a black dragon coiled around a pillar, looking down at all living beings, with a sense that if there was a disagreement, it would open its mouth to refine them.

A golden tiger crouched, its eyes closed, its momentum restrained to almost nothing. But just sitting there was enough to make everyone not dare to ignore it.

The Nine Spirits Monarch led his junior sister Chang Xi and junior brother Meng Ye, arriving at Shouyang Mountain first.

However, as strong as he was, the moment he saw that golden tiger, his expression changed drastically, and his magic power leaked out.

Such a great demon was actually sitting here like an obedient spirit beast, guarding the mountain gate?

Today's Golden Tiger Di Tu, with Luo Chen's help, had fully absorbed the legacy left by the Ancient Demon Di Tian. Not only did it break into the Great Demon Emperor realm in one go, but it also comprehended the power of the metal origin.

Especially some of the aura left by the Ancient Demon Di Tian, which was the aura of a Soul Transformation Ancient Demon, enough to intimidate all existences below Soul Transformation!

Chang Xi and Meng Ye looked at each other, and only then did they know the depth of the Luotian Sect's foundation.

Four Demon Emperors!

With this point alone, the Luotian Sect was enough to stand in the forefront of the major sects of the Eastern Wasteland, not to mention the group of Nascent Soul True Persons rumored before.

"Senior Brother?"

The Nine Spirits Monarch took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile.

"Let's go!"

He led the two toward the solemn main hall that had been renovated, and as he stepped on the steps, he still couldn't stop looking back at the golden tiger.

Such an existence had also been subdued by Luo Chen?

Before they reached the entrance of the main hall, figures filed out from within.

The Nine Spirits Monarch looked up and saw that most of them were people he was familiar with.

Wang Yuan, Ling Fengzi, Ghost Emperor Xiao Bai, and another old and young one, who should be Haoran Zi and Yu Jiaolong he had heard of before.

Ling Fengzi took the initiative to welcome them, smiling: "Nine Spirits fellow Daoist, long time no see, please leave your name here!"

A scroll had already been unfolded.

The Nine Spirits Monarch smiled reluctantly and left his Daoist name on it.

Then he nodded to everyone and, led by Ghost Emperor Xiao Bai, entered the Shouyang Hall, which was like an abyss.

Chang Xi and Meng Ye were the same, leaving their names on the scroll.

Ling Fengzi looked back and said to Wang Yuan: "Not bad, it seems Senior Brother Luo Chen's appeal is good; three Nascent Soul True Persons came early in the morning."

Wang Yuan looked at the outside of the mountain calmly, and streaks of powerful light were coming in this direction.

"It's not just three; there will be a lot to be busy with next. Ling Fengzi, you are more familiar with the situation of the various sects in the Eastern Wasteland, so you should receive them! Leave the recording of names to me."

Ling Fengzi stroked his beard and smiled, happily taking over this task.

Next, Wang Yuan held the scroll, Ling Fengzi welcomed the guests, and one by one, the famous names of the Eastern Wasteland rang out under the singing of Haoran Zi and Yu Jiaolong.

The grand singing of names even reached the outside of the mountain and the entire Lingtian Pass through the array.

"Fenghua Palace, Fairy Fenghua, Fairy Fengyue!"

"White Crane Sect, True Person Xianhe, Crane Emperor, Bai Yunfei!"

"Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion, Lin Qingxuan!"

"Hundred Beast Sect, Qin Baixiang, True Person Qilian!"

"Tiandu Sect, Tiandu Zi......"

"White Deer Cave, True Person Peng Xiang, True Person Kuxiang, Daoist Tieguan, True Person Nanping, Recluse Huiming, Master Kongtong!"

"Dongyang Sect, Great Elder True Person Dongyang!"

"Tianyuan Dao Sect, Shi Chuanting, Lian Buwei!"

When the last two arrived with the Great Elder of Dongyang, Ling Fengzi's smile disappeared, and Wang Yuan also raised his head and stared fixedly at the three people in front of him.

The originally warm atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Lian Buwei, who was sensitive, instantly noticed this. He raised an eyebrow: "Why, not welcome?"

Wang Yuan grinned, the smile even looking a bit ferocious, and reached out to gesture an invitation.

"Distinguished guests have arrived, how can we not be welcome? Please come in!"
