Chapter 1017: All True Persons Come to Court, Ceasefire Treaty

The people from Fenghua Palace were the second batch to arrive at Shouyang Hall.

The number of people who came was a bit small compared to the top Nascent Soul supreme sects, only two.

They were the Great Palace Master Fairy Fenghua and the newly ascended Nascent Soul Fairy Fengyue.

As soon as they entered the hall, they heard the hearty laughter coming from inside.

"Nine Spirits, I heard you lost to Deng Tai Yue; this is somewhat surprising to me?"

"Hmph! It was just a collision in the Nascent Soul domain; I don't know how he cultivated. He clearly just stepped into the late Nascent Soul stage, but his domain is incredibly strong. However, if it were a life-and-death struggle, who would win between me and Deng Tai Yue is still unknown!"

"I don't doubt this point; Nine Spirits' killing techniques are far superior to his surface realm."

"Where is Deng Tai Yue? He arrived at Lingtian Pass earlier than me, why don't I see him?"

This question had no answer for the time being, because the two great True Persons of Fenghua Palace had already entered the hall.

Fairy Fenghua greeted familiarly: "Dan Sect, long time no see."

"Fenghua, it has been a long time; your demeanor today is even better than before." Luo Chen replied leisurely, then his gaze fell on another woman beside Fenghua, "Fellow Daoist Fengyue, congratulations on breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm."

Fengyue's expression was somewhat complicated; she looked up, and Luo Chen was sitting high above, in a wide black Daoist robe, reflecting the bearing of a master standing like an abyss and sitting like a mountain.

Behind Luo Chen, two women with extremely outstanding appearances were sitting quietly.

One on the left and one on the right, they were the radiant and bright Gu Caiyi, and the noble and pure Cang Long Fairy who was like a snow lotus on the Heavenly Mountain.

Those were also two Nascent Soul True Persons!

Being able to sit behind Luo Chen in grand attire and openly on this occasion today, their identities were already beyond doubt.

Fengyue bowed generously, "This concubine's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm still needs to thank the Dao brother for the grace of the elixir."

That batch of Nascent Soul Pills back then did indeed have one that fell into the hands of Fenghua Palace.

Looking at it now, it was Fengyue who enjoyed that elixir.

Luo Chen smiled, waving his hand indifferently.

"Take your seats!"

Today's Shouyang Hall, after expansion, had a layout different from the usual leisure.

Tables, chairs, and cushions were arranged in order, and the fruits and snacks were fragrant and tempting.

The sandalwood incense drifted, making people feel refreshed.

Xiao Bai led a group of beautiful female ghosts walking through it, placing wine and water on top.

Fenghua and Fengyue looked at Xiao Bai, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts; even arranging the venue was handled by a Nascent Soul ghost cultivator; the Luotian Sect's strength today was truly thick!

They sat down beside the Nine Spirits Sect, and also got to know Chang Xi and Meng Ye brought by Nine Spirits Yuanjun this time.

Luo Chen did

not reminisce too much with the two old friends, because more and more cultivators were entering Shouyang Hall one after another.

Among them, many were old friends he was familiar with.

Like the three Nascent Soul True Persons from the White Crane Sect, True Person Xian He and Emperor He had known him long ago, and the newly ascended Nascent Soul Bai Yunfei, like Fengyue, had also successfully broken through relying on the Nascent Soul Pills Luo Chen brought out earlier.

The Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion only brought one person, Lin Qingxuan.

It stood to reason that with the foundation of the fusion of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, two Nascent Soul supreme sects, it shouldn't be so shabby, especially since the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion also bought a Nascent Soul Pill from Luo Chen through Deng Tai Yue.

However, it failed.

Luo Chen didn't know if the elixir's effect was insufficient, or if that cultivator lacked opportunity, or if Lin Qingxuan deliberately suppressed him?

Luo Chen didn't maliciously associate it with the last possibility.

Today's Lin Qingxuan had long since lost his youthful vigor, becoming mature and steady; after greeting Luo Chen, he found a table in the back and sat down by himself.

The Tian Du Sect's Tian Du Zi also came, bringing a full three Nascent Soul True Persons!

The foundation of the former top array Dao sect of the Eastern Wasteland could not be underestimated; even after the human-demon war ended, the Tian Du Sect only had two Nascent Souls including Tian Du Zi. But in the hundred years after the war ended, two newly ascended Nascent Souls emerged one after another.

As soon as the Tian Du Sect arrived, Luo Chen immediately had Xiao Bai arrange the best position for them, sitting opposite the Nine Spirits Sect.

Such an arrangement, no one questioned.

Not only because of the Tian Du Sect's strength, and the respect for Tian Du Zi and Nine Spirits Yuanjun as late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivators, but also because of the factor that these two had a deep friendship with Luo Chen.

The powerhouses of the major sects who came later were arranged in order downward.

Hundred Beasts Sect, Void Emperor Sect, Seven Caves Mountain, Dieyun Sect, Qingdan Valley, and even the loose cultivator Bo Han Jun who came alone, all had a seat.

Among them were the Void Emperor Sect that had risen again, and the Seven Caves Mountain that was old and strong.

Like the Dieyun Sect, many people thought it would wither, after all, the Dieyun Sect suffered a great blow from the surprise attack of the Demon Emperor's elite troops on the rear back then, and the three Nascent Soul True Persons in the sect all died in the battle. But no one expected that the Dieyun Sect had quietly cultivated another Nascent Soul powerhouse.

As for Qingdan Valley's Tao Wan and the loose cultivator Bo Han Jun, although they received quite a bit of attention because they were new forces and new faces, they were ultimately nobodies.

What really caused a sensation was the appearance of the White Deer Cave.

A full six Nascent Soul True Persons!

It also included Great Cultivator Peng Xiang, who had newly ascended to the late stage!

With such a lineup and such thick strength, even the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world at its peak could be listed as one of the top Nascent Soul supreme sects!

Seeing Luo Chen again, Great Cultivator Peng Xiang performed very freely.

Not at all

feeling embarrassed because of the help he gave to the Five Elements God Sect to oppose the Luotian Sect back then; time had passed, and there was no deep hatred, so why hang on to it?

Moreover, because of Luo Chen's Nascent Soul Pill, the White Deer Cave had an extra newly ascended Nascent Soul, Kong Tong Zi, so Great Cultivator Peng Xiang took the initiative to show favor.

Luo Chen also smiled and revealed the past.

Outside the hall, two singing voices, one old and one young, sounded again.

"Dongyang Sect, Great Elder True Person Dongyang!"

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

As the sound fell, the three figures walked in together.

Everyone's vision was cast over, especially when looking at the two people side by side with the Great Elder of Dongyang, everyone had a bit of discomfort on their faces.

Back when the Tianyuan Dao Sect entered the Eastern Wasteland, although the time was short, only thirty years, they didn't do many good things in those days!

Occupying spiritual lands, scraping resources, and when dealing with the demon race's army that swept back, they often let the disciples of the local sects of the Eastern Wasteland block in the front.

The sins created in it were all remembered by the major sects; they didn't say it usually, just because they had scruples.

But now that they really saw them, who would feel comfortable in their hearts?

The arrival of the Dongyang Sect at this moment was within expectations.

But the participation of the Tianyuan Dao Sect in the Shouyang Dao Discussion Assembly made people somewhat unacceptable.

The Tianyuan Dao Sect was not a sect of the Eastern Wasteland!

And this time, the Dan Sect restarted the Shouyang Dao Discussion, and the invitation scope was limited to the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world.

They came uninvited!

Everyone subconsciously turned their gaze back to Luo Chen above, wanting to see how he would respond.

Unexpectedly, Luo Chen's expression was as usual, just simply waving his hand: "Three fellow Daoists, take your seats!"

However, the three didn't take their seats directly, but looked around the hall, shaking their heads.

"Luo Chen, what Lian and Shi represent is the Tianyuan Dao Sect; how can we sit at the end?" Lian Buwei stepped forward, his attitude even more arrogant than the Great Elder of Dongyang, he snorted: "Don't forget, you were also a guest of the Star Gate of my Tianyuan Dao Sect!"

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes, looking at the two with a dangerous meaning.

With his special arrangement of the four Great Demon Emperors to guard Shouyang Mountain, the deterrent meaning was already very obvious.

The guests who came today were all polite and kind.

Even the White Deer Cave, which appeared with six Nascent Soul True Persons at the same time, still showed respect to Luo Chen.

Where was it like these two from the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

"Great Elder Dongyang, is this the person you brought?"

Under Luo Chen's gaze, the Great Elder of Dongyang, who was also a Great Cultivator, didn't know why a sense of fear arose in his heart.

His expression didn't show it, but he had already blocked Lian Buwei and Shi Chuanting.

"Two fellow Daoists, we

arrived late, so don't fight over the seats."

After speaking, he took the initiative to walk toward the back of the hall.

The Great Elder of Dongyang nodded slightly to the woman beside him, then flicked his Daoist robe and sat down peacefully.

Lian Buwei and Shi Chuanting frowned, but after feeling the heavy atmosphere in the hall, they had to sit down in the back.

The place where they sat was located on the outer side of the hall, and this place only had two sects with weaker strength.

They were the Dieyun Sect and Qingdan Valley.

Tao Wan was beside them; because of the tense atmosphere earlier, she felt somewhat uncomfortable, pursing her lips tightly.

When everyone was seated, Wang Yuan hurriedly entered, placing the scroll with everyone's names in front of Luo Chen's desk.

Luo Chen picked up the scroll and scanned it carefully.

A total of twenty-seven people, subtracting the two from the Tianyuan Dao Sect, made twenty-five.

Regarding the opportunity for Soul Transformation, the powerhouses of the Nascent Soul realm in the Eastern Wasteland didn't want to miss it; this was probably the peak strength of the Eastern Wasteland human cultivation world today!

Oh, there was also the Dongyang Sect, which actually only brought the Great Elder.

Calculating with his own investigation when he entered the Dongyang Sect back then, there should be four more Nascent Soul True Persons there.

Twenty-nine... even adding the seven human Nascent Souls of the Luotian Sect, it was only thirty-six people.

Putting down the scroll, Luo Chen sighed slightly.

"Today's gathering, whether it is the reunion of old friends or adding fellow travelers on the road of the Dao, such a grand assembly should have made this sect happy. However, the number of people on this list is so small, not even half of the peak of the Eastern Wasteland. Too many fellow Daoists fell in that catastrophe."

With melancholy and emotion, it echoed leisurely.

Everyone in the hall was saddened; among those who fell, there were also their friends and their fellow disciples.

Even some newly ascended Nascent Souls sighed endlessly.

Achieving the Nascent Soul stage, with a lifespan of a thousand years, was already no different from an immortal in the eyes of mortals.

But a catastrophe, how many people's road to longevity was cut off halfway?

The world only saw the prosperity and grandeur of the Shouyang Dao Discussion today, but how did they know that at the peak, even without counting the holy land Mingyuan Sect, the Eastern Wasteland also had fifty or sixty Nascent Soul True Persons.

Compared to back then, it was indeed down and out.

"Why does Dan Sect have to be so sentimental?"

A hearty and heroic voice sounded from the hall, Nine Spirits Yuanjun said indignantly.

"The dead are gone, and chasing them is useless. We are still here, so we should sharpen our will and climb the peak. What's more, there are also newly ascended fellow Daoists like Gu Daoist of your sect, Chang Xi and Meng Ye of my sect, and Kong Tong Zi of the White Deer Cave. As long as the immortal Dao is not cut off, fellow travelers will always emerge."

As soon as this was said, it brought a flurry of agreement.

That two-hundred-year human-demon war did indeed bring a great

disaster to the Eastern Wasteland, but after the war ended, the benefits obtained by the survivors were also unprecedented.

Therefore, apart from sadness, people were more fortunate.

Surviving a great disaster, there must be great blessings!

Today's Shouyang Dao Discussion, isn't it the greatest blessing?

Someone couldn't help it and asked directly.

"Dan Sect, have you truly refined the Ambrosia Pill?" Mr. Yao from Mount Qidong asked impatiently, being the first to bring up the matter that everyone cared about.

Luo Chen had not reached Soul Transformation; this was the truth everyone saw now.

But in his invitation, he indeed talked about the four words "Opportunity for Soul Transformation."

Then in the absence of Soul Transformation, how could one grasp the opportunity for Soul Transformation?

The answer, actually, many people had vaguely guessed.

Ambrosia Pill!

Ancient divine pill, can help people enter a state of epiphany and comprehend the true meaning of the Dao.

If one could really comprehend the true meaning of the Dao in the Nascent Soul stage, that would be truly grasping the opportunity for Soul Transformation, and breaking through to the Soul Transformation realm in the future would be a matter of course.

And regarding the Ambrosia Pill, Mr. Yao was the one among everyone who knew it best.

Back then, Deng Tai Yue placed his hope on him, but it was a pity that his alchemy was not enough, he couldn't complete the pill formula, let alone refine it.

Later, Deng Tai Yue placed his hope on Luo Chen.

It is said that Deng Taiyue went into seclusion for a hundred years, and after coming out, his cultivation realm broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage, and his strength surged; it is highly likely that he achieved this by taking the Ambrosia Pill.

As for whether he had comprehended the true meaning of the Dao, the world didn't know yet.

But Medicine Master wouldn't let go of this opportunity.

Even if he had a bad relationship with Luo Chen before, he came here actively today, risking the danger of being humiliated by Luo Chen, just to see that ancient divine pill!

Facing Medicine Master's impatience, Luo Chen waved his hand.

"Let's not mention the elixir for now; this sect has another major event."

Everyone was stunned, not understanding what major event could be mentioned in the same breath as the opportunity for Soul Transformation?

Luo Chen's palm flashed with spiritual light, and a scroll appeared before everyone's eyes.

He pressed the scroll and said loudly: "The demon disaster has affected the Eastern Wasteland for two hundred years, and countless cultivators have lost their lives. Even if you have the opportunity to break through to Soul Transformation, if the demon race makes a comeback, how can there be intact eggs under a collapsed nest?"

As soon as this was said, everyone changed color.

"Originally, the two races were going to sign a ceasefire treaty on Bi Kong Mountain, but because of the Mingyuan Sect's breach of promise, the ceasefire failed."

"In the battle of Bi Kong Mountain, the Ancient Demon Di Tian fell, and the Demon Court collapsed. We humans seemed to have won that war. However, what greeted us was an even crazier counterattack!"

"The demon race Great Power Xixia Yuanjun came out of the mountain personally and sent the Mingyuan Sect to the funeral; since then, there has been no human holy

land in the Eastern Wasteland."

"Later, when the demon race raised troops for the second time to threaten the Eastern Wasteland, we actually fell to the point of relying on the outer continent holy land Tianyuan Dao Sect; how miserable!"

Luo Chen spoke eloquently and told the story.

What he said was the past, but what he touched was the painful experience that everyone didn't want to recall.

"Today's Eastern Wasteland, supreme sects are withered, and everything is waiting to be done; it is the emptiest time, and it cannot afford the price of another battle with the demon race."

"In view of this, this sect believes that a ceasefire is imperative!"

Everyone knew that although the Tianyuan Dao Sect and the Eastern Wasteland demon race had retreated, the war had not ended.

If a ceasefire treaty could really be reached, the Eastern Wasteland human race would truly have a chance to recuperate.

But the Eastern Wasteland no longer had a Soul Transformation holy land; who was qualified to talk about a ceasefire?

That scroll slowly unfolded in front of everyone.

Everyone's gaze fell on it, and they couldn't move away for a long time.

"This sect personally entered Mount Cangwu and obtained the approval of Xixia Yuanjun; the other party took the initiative to release goodwill, allowing the human and demon races to conclude a ceasefire treaty and continue peace for another thousand years."

"Xixia Yuanjun has already left her name; what do you think?"

Luo Chen said slowly, his gaze sweeping over everyone's face.

He saw excitement, saw relief, and perhaps there was still hatred, but it was rare in the face of survival and cultivation.

Conclude a ceasefire treaty and continue peace for another thousand years.

A thousand years, enough for them to develop.

As for after a thousand years?

Either the powerhouses present would pass away, and the flood after death would have nothing to do with them. Or they would break through the shackles, achieve Soul Transformation Great Power, and hold their own and the human race's destiny in their own hands.

Time was the most precious thing that everyone in the Eastern Wasteland needed most now.

However, there was also a discordant voice that exploded suddenly.

"Bold!"

"Luo Chen, you actually dare to collude with the demon race!"

Luo Chen's face sank instantly, his eyes fixed on the two people from the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

Was it the name of the first holy land of the Mountain and Sea Realm that gave them the courage to be presumptuous in front of him again and again? ===== CHAPTER 1018 =====
