Chapter 1016: Number One in the Eastern Wasteland, Sword Pointing at the Dao Sect

As Luo Chen's face sank, the temperature in the hall seemed to drop significantly.

A suppressed and heavy momentum spread out like a mountain, and everyone was silent.

Feeling this momentum that was like the might of heaven, people seemed to remember that the Luo Chen who was chatting and laughing with everyone earlier was not only the Dan Sect famous for his benevolence and gentlemanly style in the Eastern Wasteland, but he was also a star of disaster who had experienced countless battles, once known as the number one person below Soul Transformation, the Wuxiang Demon Luo!

Facing this momentum, the Great Elder of Dongyang changed color suddenly.

With his late-stage Nascent Soul realm, he actually felt extremely dangerous.

And Lian Buwei and Shi Chuanting beside him were even more unbearable, their faces pale.

Especially Lian Buwei, who had just opened his mouth to question Luo Chen.

However, as a Dao Sect True Person, he had the pride of a disciple of the number one holy land in the world!

"Luo Chen, are you trying to kill us to silence us?" Lian Buwei gritted his teeth and forced himself to speak: "The two of us don't matter, but have you thought about how to deal with the Tianyuan Dao Sect's anger?"

Luo Chen stared at him, his language like ice: "You say this sect colludes with the demon race?"

Lian Buwei was excited: "Yes, who in the world doesn't know that the Qixia Monarch and my Dao Sect have an irreconcilable hatred, yet you now want to sign a ceasefire treaty with her; isn't that collusion?"

"Hehe."

Luo Chen sneered.

"The path of this sect's rise is paved with the blood and corpses of countless demon experts; how can you say such ridiculous things about me colluding with the demon race? Moreover, the one who has a grudge against the Qixia Monarch is your Tianyuan Dao Sect, not the major sects of our Eastern Wasteland!"

Lian Buwei's eyes widened. "How do you explain the destruction of the Mingyuan Sect?"

Luo Chen said lightly: "Mingyuan is Mingyuan; it doesn't have much to do with us. Is there anyone here who still wants to avenge the Mingyuan Sect?"

When saying this, the black-robed Daoist's gaze swept over everyone present, especially those sect experts who had a relatively good relationship with the Mingyuan Sect.

"True Person Qingyun, does your Dieyun Sect want to?"

The newly promoted Nascent Soul True Person Qingyun shook his head subconsciously; in the eyes of outsiders, their Dieyun Sect was a vassal of the holy land, but in reality, it was just like a servant. Most of the top-grade spiritual wine brewed every year had to be offered to the Mingyuan Sect; there was no great kindness or virtue here.

Luo Chen's gaze turned again, falling on the spirited old man: "Or is it you, Great Elder Dongyang?"

The Great Elder of Dongyang was silent, and finally shook his head heavily.

For the Dongyang Sect, the Mingyuan Sect was good, but it was even better without the Mingyuan Sect!

Lian Buwei glared fiercely at the Great Elder of Dongyang and forced himself to say: "However, one hundred and forty years ago, the demon race forces led by Mount Cangwu deployed troops to the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world. That battle was not big, but the disciples of the various sects and schools of the Eastern Wasteland who fell were not few, right?"

Luo Chen smiled.

"What was the real cause of that battle, you and I know clearly. If it weren't for the Tianyuan Dao Sect entering the Eastern Wasteland and starting the war, would Mount Cangwu have moved again?"

Lian Buwei still wanted to say something, and then Luo Chen's smile flashed and disappeared, interrupting his words.

"In the end, you just want our Eastern Wasteland sects to be the vanguard for you, to block Mount Cangwu for you!"

“When all is said and done, you all just want us Eastern Wasteland sects to be the vanguards for the King, to block Mount Cangwu for you!”

"But why should we bear these?"

Lian Buwei's lips moved, his face pale, pointing at Luo Chen, but he couldn't say half a word.

Everyone present was thoughtful, obviously Luo Chen had hit the nail on the head regarding them, and even the Tianyuan Dao Sect's thoughts.

Fighting and killing for others, this kind of thing was really too stupid.

Once they calmed down, they could naturally remember the many benefits they could enjoy after the ceasefire.

As for the disadvantages, naturally there were some, that was, they couldn't open up new territory and obtain more resources. But this disadvantage, in the present, or even within a thousand years, did not exist.

After the human-demon war, the originally relatively "crowded" Eastern Wasteland had long since become spacious.

Even now, there were nearly ten cultivation domains, large and small, that were vacant, without Nascent Soul sects to settle in and preside over, and the resources within them were just cheap for rogue cultivators.

As for a thousand years later?

On that scroll, the ceasefire time written was only one thousand years!

A thousand years later, whether it was war or peace, whether it was demon race invasion or human race opening up, that was a matter for the future!

Suddenly.

Tiandu Zi's vicissitudes voice sounded slowly.

"Dan Sect, does this treaty have binding power?"

When Tiandu Zi spoke, Luo Chen felt a relief in his heart.

When he became the Hall Master of the Du Zhen Hall, the Qixia Monarch sent several great gifts to him, among which was this drafted ceasefire treaty.

At that time, Luo Chen didn't quite understand the other party's meaning, but after traveling through the Eastern Wasteland again, Luo Chen already understood.

After the Central Plains war, the Tianyuan Dao Sect suffered heavy losses, and the Qixia Monarch was also seriously injured.

Under such circumstances, Mount Cangwu couldn't afford too much tossing.

The first thing to do was to appease the adjacent Eastern Wasteland cultivation world.

Therefore, this ceasefire treaty came into being.

At this time, Luo Chen talked about the ceasefire, his personal selfishness accounted for the majority—to settle the outside, one must first settle the inside; he had to resolve the estrangement between the human and demon races to deal with the Tianyuan Dao Sect. But there was also three parts of public heart

??The current Eastern Wasteland cultivation world could no longer afford a war covering the entire continent.

"The binding power is naturally there!"

Luo Chen explained patiently: "It has the signature of the Qixia Monarch, representing the Mount Cangwu force. And the current Mount Cangwu is the demon holy land of the Million Mountains; no one dares to disobey the Qixia Monarch's orders."

Tiandu Zi nodded, and then asked again: "What about us?"

Luo Chen wrinkled his eyebrows. "The representatives of the major sects of the Eastern Wasteland are basically all here; we can sign together, right?"

Tiandu Zi shook his head slowly. "We can only represent ourselves, but the current Eastern Wasteland is full of various opportunities; it is hard to avoid that there will be no major sect cultivators or family experts, or even rogue cultivators, breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future."

When saying this, his gaze shifted to the back.

Many people followed his gaze and looked at a man and a woman.

Qingdan Valley Tao Wan, rogue cultivator Bo Hanjun!

They were such existences.

"If these newly promoted experts in the future act rashly and take the initiative to wage opening wars, what should be done? This treaty has no binding power on them. Dan Sect, do you want to see the Luoyun Hehuan affair happen again?"

The Luoyun Hehuan affair?

Everyone's expression was shocked!

Luo Chen rubbed the ring on his hand and thought carefully about Tiandu Zi's words.

Obviously, what Tiandu Zi said was indeed reasonable.

After the ancient times, although opening wars, large and small, had never stopped, they were limited to one sect and one domain.

Only when it reached the Luoyun Sect did changes occur.

The Luoyun Sect held an opening war, not only using the power of its own sect but also inviting many sects to help.

Of course, this was also within the rules.

But there were two things that exceeded the rules.

One, when Han Zhan fought with Aoxiao, Nascent Soul True Persons from other sects participated; those people were not Luoyun Sect cultivators!

Two, True Person Yunhe of the Hehuan Sect tried to open up the Great Snow Mountain. This was equivalent to the human race opening up two domains at the same time, which violated the rules!

Therefore, the demon race's counterattack later was so grand, and their reasons were sufficient, standing on the moral high ground, because it was the human race that tore up the ceasefire treaty first.

Human hearts are always greedy.

Temporary constraints can only manage for a while, not the future.

To solve this kind of thing...

Luo Chen vaguely had an answer in his heart, but he didn't say it directly, but looked at Tiandu Zi.

"Since fellow Daoist raised this question, you must already have a plan, right?"

Tiandu Zi nodded slightly and said calmly: "We need a representative, a powerful representative like the Mingyuan Sect. Usually, restrain newly promoted sects so that they don't be greedy for merit and advance rashly. And if there is an accident like the demon race invasion again, this representative must organize manpower to resist at the first time, and cannot be like the demon race sweeping fifteen domains back then, causing countless human casualties."

As soon as this was said, everyone nodded.

But the question came again, who should be this representative?

Everyone knew clearly that once they sat in that position, even if it wasn't as good as the Mingyuan Sect's status in the Eastern Wasteland back then, it wouldn't be far off.

The benefits contained in it were unimaginable!

Just when everyone was hesitant and restless, Tiandu Zi spoke again.

"I recommend the Dan Sect, recommend the Luotian Sect to become this representative."

Luo Chen pursed his lips; this proposal was the answer in his heart. But he couldn't bring it up actively, and the steady Tiandu Zi was very suitable.

At this moment, as Tiandu Zi's proposal was spoken, the Shouyang Hall fell into restlessness.

Obviously, there were many people who wanted to be this representative.

In a burst of restlessness, a crisp and pleasant voice stood out.

"This concubine agrees with fellow Daoist Tiandu Zi's proposal!"

Everyone followed the sound and looked; it was the woman they had paid attention to earlier—Qingdan Valley's Tao Wan!

Facing everyone's gaze, this newly promoted Nascent Soul seemed to feel immense pressure.

But she still said generously: "The Dan Sect's name should be recognized by everyone, right? If we talk about personal prestige, in the current Eastern Wasteland, no one can compare. If we talk about personal strength, Daoist Brother Luo Chen has the invincible posture of crowning the Nascent Soul realm."

Everyone was silent; Luo Chen indeed had extremely high prestige, not only limited to high-level cultivators, but also had many rumors among low-level cultivators.

Compared to the Alchemy Saint back then, the Dan Sect's influence today was even greater!

And his strength was already deified.

He had made a name for himself as the Demon-Slaying True Person in the Eastern Wasteland, and had made a name for himself as the Wuxiang Demon Luo in the Western Desert; ordinary Nascent Souls didn't even have the courage to fight him.

Tao Wan spoke again, pointing outside: "And the Luotian Sect, although the time of founding is far less than our major sects. But the strength of the Luotian Sect, everyone should have seen a

He made a name for himself as the Demon-Slaying True Person in the Eastern Wasteland, and carved out the title of the Formless Demon Luo in the Western Desert; ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators don't even have the courage to fight him.

Tao Wan spoke again, pointing outside: “And the Luotian Sect, although its founding time is far behind our superior sects, you all should have seen a rough idea of the Luotian Sect's strength today. May I ask, which sect can surpass the Luotian Sect?”

Everyone felt a shock in their hearts, remembering this matter they had ignored, or even refused to think about.

Yet the fact was laid out right before them.

The Luotian Sect, which had the shortest time since its founding, was now the strongest in the Eastern Wasteland, stronger than the Dongyang Sect and the Bailu Cave!

Outside the hall, there were four great Demon Emperors sitting in command!

Inside the hall, there were six great Nascent Soul True Persons!

And there were powerhouses comparable to Nascent Soul True Persons, such as the Ghost Emperor Bai Xiaobai and the War Demon Wang Yuan!

Finally, Tao Wan exhaled a turbid breath, stood up, and bowed to Luo Chen.

“This concubine believes that Luo Chen and the Luotian Sect are currently the most suitable entities to represent the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world!”

The others were still somewhat hesitant.

But immediately following Tao Wan, another white-browed man also stood up.

“I am but a loose cultivator, nameless and not worth mentioning. Thanks to the grace of the Dan Sect, I luckily formed my Nascent Soul. Happening upon this gathering today, I also hope for a stable cultivation environment in the future. If the Dan Sect becomes the representative of the Eastern Wasteland, Bo Hanjun has no objections.”

If Tian Duzi represented the old sects in speaking, then Tao Wan and Bo Hanjun could be seen as representatives of the emerging forces in the Eastern Wasteland.

With both sides expressing their stance like this, even if others had more thoughts, it was not easy to voice them.

“My Fenghua Palace agrees!”

“The Jiuling Sect agrees!”

“The Baihe Sect agrees!”

“The Wanjian Pavilion agrees!”

……

The batch of people who spoke afterward, from beginning to end, were basically sects with close relationships to Luo Chen.

A rough look showed that they already occupied more than half of the forces in the venue.

The remaining sects, as if influenced, finally relented and expressed their agreement one after another.

Like Medicine Master from Mount Qidong, he also disregarded past grievances and acknowledged the status of Luo Chen and the Luotian Sect.

In the end, only the strongest Bailu Cave and Dongyang Sect remained.

Under everyone's gaze, True Person Peng Xiang of Bailu Cave laughed: “In the past, my sect's Junior Brother Tie Guan fought alongside the Dan Sect against the Badao Domain, and there was also the matter of this poor Daoist helping the Five Elements God Sect against the Luotian Sect, while Junior Brother Kong Tongzi only advanced to the Nascent Soul stage after receiving the grace of the Dan Sect's Nascent Soul Pill. The grievances among these are hard to calculate, but I trust the character of the Dan Sect. Since everyone has said so, Bailu Cave also agrees to this matter.”

In this way, only the Dongyang Sect remained.

Once a vassal of the Mingyuan Sect, later the first to surrender to the Tianyuan Dao Sect, and even once giving up their mountain gate to provide a foothold for the Dao Sect's powerhouses, the Great Elder of Dongyang wore a bitter smile under the fierce gaze of Lian Buwei at this moment.

He did not speak to agree, but he did not oppose either, as if he had tacitly consented.

Everyone did not force him to state his position, but turned their attention back to Luo Chen.

A sigh was heard faintly.

Luo Chen stood up and bowed to everyone with cupped hands.

“Since everyone thinks highly of me, then I, Luo, will not decline. Since it was the ceasefire treaty I retrieved, then as for the representative of the Eastern Wasteland human race, I, Luo, and the Luotian Sect will take on this responsibility without hesitation!”

“In the future, the Luotian Sect will restrain the newly promoted sects and regulate the relationship with the demon race, but will not interfere with the specific affairs of each sect. If there is a major event concerning the common interests of the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world, the Luotian Sect will take the lead and not fail the expectations you all have today!”

“Everyone, please!”

As his words fell, Luo Chen made a stroke with his hand.

On that ceasefire treaty that had been floating for a long time, five large characters appeared—Luotian Sect: Luo Chen!

The others no longer hesitated and cast their respective spiritual powers to leave the names of their own sects and themselves.

In this way, this ceasefire treaty was considered to have binding force.

The Eastern Wasteland cultivation world would welcome at least a thousand years of peaceful time.

Luo Chen placed a seal on the scroll and spoke a few details, such as announcing it to the world later, and allowing new Nascent Soul forces to sign the treaty after they appear in the future, and so on.

When he put away the scroll, the originally noisy Shouyang Hall became quiet again.

One gaze after another revealed a look of anticipation.

Luo Chen did not keep them in suspense.

With a flick of his palm, a golden pill appeared before everyone's eyes.

“It’s the Dihu Pill!” Medicine Master of Mount Qidong blurted out, his face full of surprise: “You really refined it!”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, “Yes, this is the ancient divine Dihu Pill, known as a pseudo-fifth-rank divine pill, which can help people enter a state of epiphany, communicate with heaven and earth, and comprehend the true meaning of laws.”

Gulp!

A clearly audible sound of swallowing saliva echoed in the hall.

“Really?” Tian Duzi spoke suddenly.

Having previously nominated Luo Chen as the Eastern Wasteland representative, he had appeared very calm and steady, yet at this moment, he could not help but lose his composure.

After him, Jiuling Yuanjun, True Person Peng Xiang, and even the Great Elder of Dongyang were staring fixedly at that pill.

Luo Chen did not go to prove the effect of this Dihu Pill, but said loudly: “I have already completed the pill formula for the Dihu Pill, and there is no problem with the refining. As long as you all do me a favor, no matter who it is, this sect can help refine a Dihu Pill for you!”

Everyone lost their composure.

Whether it was the elderly Tian Duzi, or the newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators Bo Hanjun and Tao Wan, all were breathing rapidly.

As for those long-standing Nascent Soul cultivators, they wished they could possess a Dihu Pill on the spot.

Even, they could no longer care what the request Luo Chen mentioned was.

No matter what big or small matter it was, it was all acceptable!

After all, this was a top-priority matter concerning the Soul Transformation Dao!

Tian Duzi exhaled a long breath and stared at Luo Chen with great spirit: “Dan Sect, please speak directly, what matter needs our help?”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, “You all just need to make a move for me once.”

True Person Peng Xiang was surprised: “Just once?”

Luo Chen nodded, “Yes, just once. Life or death does not matter; after the matter is accomplished, I, Luo, will definitely gift a Dihu Pill and also present the relevant experience of taking it.”

Jiuling Yuanjun said with emotion: “Who is the enemy?”

Luo Chen's gaze moved and landed on the two people in the back.

“Tianyuan Dao Sect!”

Everyone was stunned.

Boom! Boom!

In the silent place, a sudden thunderclap arose!

Lian Buwei and Shi Chuanting exploded with spiritual power without hesitation and rushed toward the outside of the hall!

Luo Chen watched all this, as if not worried at all.

And the next moment!

A mysterious yellow giant hand came suppressing down from outside the hall with great force.

Boom!

With just one strike, the two great True Persons of the Dao Sect were slapped back.

A figure stepped proudly into the hall.

It was none other than True Person Taiyue!
