Chapter 1016: Shouyang Dao Discussion, Four Emperors Welcome Guests

In Shouyang Mountain.

On the bluestone path between 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 have 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 that small melon-shaped face; she smiled slightly: "Compared to the thousand difficulties and dangers you have encountered outside, Husband, I have only been cultivating in seclusion for a period of time; what does losing a bit of weight count for? And as long as I can help you, even if it is bitter, I am willing!"

Luo Chen shook his head, sighing 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 all had to shine as much as possible for him.

Even to put it ugly, the union with President Sima Hui Niang back then, apart from being half-pushed, was not without the intention of binding President Sima Hui Niang, the manager of the Luotian Sect, with a closer relationship.

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

But as Luo Chen cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm, and it was a chaotic world, 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 used them as his main drive, but instead became a towering tree, shielding them from the wind and rain.

Especially when Luo Chen's strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and even ordinary Nascent Soul True Persons were not 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 never thought about what the Luotian Sect cultivators could help him with.

He didn't even want the Luotian Sect cultivators to get involved; if 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 point 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 back.

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.

For so many years, she had not been greedy for high positions in the sect, had given up wealth and power, and had even restrained the jealousy she often staged with President Sima Hui Niang, only putting her heart and soul into cultivation.

With Luo

Chen's cultivation experience and insights as a general direction, with the guidance of an old-school Nascent Soul like Ling Fengzi from time to time, plus the Luotian Sect's abundant resources fully supplying her, she finally broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

This year, Gu Caiyi was over four hundred years old, and she was approaching the five-hundred-year lifespan 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 lifespan by five hundred years!

Luo Chen gently squeezed that soft, boneless hand, sighing: "Who could have thought that we, who were squeezed into the four-room courtyard of the Dahe Market, could walk to this step?"

Gu Caiyi was also incomparably emotional; the small Dahe Market not only produced two Nascent Soul True Persons, one Fourth-Rank body-refining powerhouse, but also several Golden Core cultivators.

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

She really hadn't misjudged the person back then!

Gu Caiyi looked at the man's hard-contoured face beside her, full of reverence, but also containing a bit of worry.

"Husband, are you really going to deal with the Tianyuan Dao Sect?"

Luo Chen said calmly: "Not only the Tianyuan Dao Sect, but there is a great possibility that I will also 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 powerhouses in our Luotian Sect today, with your world-shocking ability, and now that the Eastern Wasteland doesn't have a real master, we can live well in the Eastern Wasteland. The Luotian Sect can become the first sect of the Eastern Wasteland, and you, Husband, are still the number one powerhouse of the Eastern Wasteland human race respected by thousands. Given time, even if you, Husband, attain the Dao and ascend, it is not impossible!"

Hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Luo Chen's face that hadn't been seen for a long time.

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 use weapons?"

Luo Chen said softly: "Breaking through to Soul Transformation and being carefree and long-lived is 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 over a hundred years, regarding Luo Chen's situation, they only saw the surface and didn't know the specific situation.

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

It was an urgency that was willing to risk death to forcibly improve 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 crossed the sea to visit the Luotian Sect.

Zhou Yunshen!

After he sent his grandson Zhou Fuyou to the Tiannan Dao Palace,

he didn't return directly to the family.

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

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

That was how the Luotian Sect came out in full force to support Luo Chen.

But why Luo Chen insisted on dealing with the Tianyuan Dao Sect, this reason was still a secret.

Facing his pillow-mate of several hundred years, Luo Chen didn't choose to hide it, telling her the specific situation one by one.

Upon hearing the point about the "missing soul," the woman subconsciously covered her mouth, her face full of shock.

Then all the doubts were solved, leaving only indignation and hatred for the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

"I originally made two plans; on one hand, I improved my strength to prepare for the unexpected, and on the other hand, I cultivated a clone to try to take back the soul."

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

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

"However, time waits for no one!"

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

Because of Xixia Yuanjun, the Dao Sect suffered a disaster, and the Central Plains suffered a disaster.

The two 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 Heavenly Peak.

Once they really succeeded, the already precarious situation would be instantly broken.

God-Descending Array!

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

It must be a powerful existence capable of dealing with Xixia Yuanjun!

By then, the Tianyuan Dao Sect would no longer fear Xixia Yuanjun and could forcibly kill their way into the Eastern Wasteland.

In this situation, even if he could take back his life soul later, in front of that strength that suppressed 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 Lord 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 front of such existences, let alone not having a life soul, even if he took back his life soul and luckily ascended to Soul Transformation, Luo Chen would not be an opponent, let alone the Luotian Sect under his protection.

Clone Zhou Fuyou had cultivated for less than a hundred years; even if he were a genius, he would eventually lack time to break

through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Placing hope on him was too illusory.

Eventually, he had to rely on himself!

The mountain wind roared, flapping the man's black Daoist robe, and a cold killing intent arose.

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 walk on, no matter who the enemy is!"

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

The only special thing 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 pooled money to build 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 Lingtian Pass had to start from the period when the human-demon war was most intense.

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

In their spare time, the Nascent Soul powerhouses often gathered, exchanging cultivation insights and exchanging cultivation resources.

Like Luo Chen's Dan Sect name, it was spread at that time.

And existences with similar ideas were not in the minority.

A Lu-surnamed Nascent Soul from the Dongyang Sect didn't have any special talent, but he relied on his own network of relationships to frequently invite 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 network, but would constantly expand.

The Nascent Soul True Persons participating in the gathering were from all sects and factions, each with their own strengths, and even powerhouses from the Mingyuan Sect at that time would come by invitation from time to time.

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

Not only that!

That Elder Lu would also regularly hold some Dao-preaching assemblies for the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators below, answering their questions.

And all of this happened on Shouyang Mountain.

Therefore, these Nascent Soul gatherings and assemblies for preaching to Golden Cores were collectively called 【Shouyang Dao Discussion Assembly】.

Even that Elder Lu was once named Shouyang Mountain Man.

It was a pity that after a battle, that Elder Lu was seriously injured, his physical body was destroyed, his Nascent Soul luckily escaped, and he never appeared on the human-demon battlefield again, and the name of Shouyang Mountain Man also came to nothing.

And the Shouyang Dao Discussion Assembly he held also gradually declined.

Of course, after the war ended, quite a few Nascent Soul True Persons still missed the Shouyang Dao Discussion Assembly.

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

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

powerhouses gathered together, discussing with each other, exchanging resources, and cultivation efficiency far exceeded closing the door and making a car at home.

After the war ended, although the Eastern Wasteland was withered, the survivors' realms advanced by leaps and bounds, and it was not without credit for this.

And this time, an existence whose name was far greater than Shouyang Mountain Man restarted the Dao Discussion Assembly on Shouyang Mountain!

Three days had passed, Dan Sect invited!

Streaks of incomparably powerful light flew into the mountain peak that was not very high or majestic, under the eyes of countless low-level cultivators in Lingtian Pass who looked up and worshipped.

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

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 stones produced smoke with every step.

Streaks of light descended from the sky, landing on the white jade square, and then their hair stood on end, involuntarily putting away their proud aura.

Only because on the square, four huge demonic beasts were currently 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, Tian Xuan 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 sleeping, but the black water flowing around it made people afraid to approach.

Fourth-Rank desolate beast, Nether Xuan Turtle!

Further up, a black dragon coiled around a pillar, overlooking all living beings, with a feeling that if they didn't agree, it would open its mouth and refine them.

A golden tiger crouched, its eyes closed, its aura restrained to almost nothing. But it just sat there, making everyone not dare to ignore it.

Nine Spirits Yuanjun 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 fell swoop, but it also comprehended the origin power of gold.

Especially some of the aura left by the Ancient Demon Di Tian, that was the aura of a Soul Transformation ancient demon, enough to shock all existences below Soul Transformation!

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

Four Demon Emperors!

Just relying on this point, 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?"

Nine Spirits Yuanjun took a deep breath, squeezing out a smile.

"Let's go!"

He led the two toward the solemn great hall that had been repaired. As they stepped on the steps, he still couldn't stop looking back at the golden tiger.

Could such an existence also be subdued by Luo Chen?

Before they reached the entrance of the great hall, figures filed out from inside.

Nine Spirits Yuanjun looked up, and 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 the Haoranzi and Yu Jade Jiao Long 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.

Nine Spirits Yuanjun smiled reluctantly, leaving his Daoist name on it.

Then he nodded to everyone, and under the guidance of 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 Luo Chen senior brother's appeal is not bad; three Nascent Soul True Persons came early in the morning."

Wang Yuan looked calmly outside the mountain, where 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 will be responsible for receiving guests! 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 were constantly sounded under the singing of Haoranzi and Yu Jade Jiao Long.

The grand singing sound was even transmitted outside the mountain, and even to the entire Lingtian Pass through the array.

"Fenghua Palace, Fairy Fenghua, Fairy Fengyue!"

"White Crane Sect, True Person Xian He, Emperor He, Bai Yunfei!"

"Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, Lin Qingxuan!"

"Hundred Beasts Sect, Qin Baixiang, True Person Qi Lian!"

"Tian Du Sect, Tian Du Zi..."

"White Deer Cave, True Person Peng Xiang, True Person Ku Xiang, Daoist Tie Guan, True Person Nan Ping, Layman Hui Ming, Kong Tong Zi!"

"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, the smile on Ling Fengzi's face disappeared, and Wang Yuan also raised his head suddenly, staring fixedly at the three people in front of him.

The originally warm atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Lian Buwei was sensitive and instantly noticed this; he raised an eyebrow: "Why, not welcome?"

Wang Yuan grinned, the smile even looking somewhat ferocious, and gestured backward to invite them in.

"Distinguished guests have arrived, how can we not welcome? Please come in!" ===== CHAPTER 1017 =====
