How could he possibly have broken through to the Soul Transformation realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must know, when the two first met, he was at the sixth level of Nascent Soul, while Luo Chen was only at the third level. How could he surpass him in such a short time and break through to a higher realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But reality seemed to be right before their eyes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen laughed softly, nodded slightly, and then slowly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is Soul Transformation, yet not Soul Transformation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianduzi frowned. \"What does that mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen smiled: \"This sect master has merely mastered a technique that allows me to briefly step into the Soul Transformation realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>utterly confused. What did it mean to briefly step into the Soul Transformation realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you haven't broken through, you haven't; if you have, you have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that one can go up and then fall back down, repeating it over and over? What does he think cultivation is?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the crowd's confusion, Luo Chen did not explain much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, Luo Chen had only gradually fully mastered his own situation over these years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could condense his soul and merge it with his Nascent Soul through the \"Moonlight Heart-Clearing Mantra\" to form a temporary Primordial Spirit. This state, from the initial half-hour or hour, had now been able to last for a full day after a hundred years had passed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he had comprehended three types of Law True Intent, allowing him to manipulate more primordial energy of heaven and earth than ordinary Soul Transformation great powers while in the Primordial Spirit state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the Wither-Prosper Dao technique he created himself, the Three Heads and Six Arms he cultivated, and the \"Thousand Heavens Myriad Transformations Sword Scripture\"—these three divine abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, what difference was there from a Soul Transformation great power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nascent Soul to Soul Transformation, Law True Intent, manipulating heaven and earth primordial energy, mastering divine abilities—all these things combined, even if only for a day, Luo Chen was a Soul Transformation great power for a day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of how others guessed, Luo Chen turned his attention to the stiff old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, the heaven-reaching pillar of light vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Elder Dongyang suddenly lost the heavy pressure, and the magic power he had been trying to unleash erupted. This was the magic power of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator of many years, peerless in might, even above Deng Taiyue, Nine Spirits Yuanjun, and True Person Peng Xiang; perhaps only Tianduzi could compare. Yet, compared to the pillar of primordial energy Luo Chen had summoned casually, it was like a firefly. Especially the scorching gaze behind him, which made him feel like he had needles on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man’s aura was released and then retracted instantly; he took two slightly staggering steps before turning around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Luo Chen with fear, opening his mouth to speak, but felt that whatever he said would be meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he could only smile bitterly with a pale face: \"Dan Sect, why go to such lengths!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people in the hall nodded secretly. Indeed, why go to such lengths!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matters hadn't been settled, yet he resorted to killing; this left everyone with no way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, everyone had nominated Luo Chen as the representative of the Eastern Wasteland, and now he was taking the lead in doing such things—wasn't that pushing everyone to their deaths?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen replied calmly: \"It must be done. A battle between me and the Tian Yuan Dao Sect is inevitable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what are your chances of winning?\" Great Elder Dongyang said, looking dejected: \"Yes, you are strong, stronger than anyone imagined! But you are ultimately not a Soul Transformation great power, and what you are facing is the number one Sacred Land in the Mountain and Sea Realm, which has ten thousand years of foundation and has developed for three thousand years since the ancient times. What do you have to fight them with? Do you rely on us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen chuckled: \"This sect master has never fought an uncertain battle in his life. Since I have decided to make a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>move, I will definitely be prepared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Elder Dongyang looked at Luo Chen blankly. \"Prepared?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen tapped the table, attracting everyone's attention—or rather, there was no need to attract it; he just made them value what he was about to say even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this battle, the elite of the Eastern Wasteland will all be deployed. Not just you and my Luo Tian Sect, but also the Eastern Wasteland demon race, a total of twenty-four Demon Emperors. Among them are great Demon Emperors like Bi Zheng, Niu Gui, Juan Kuang, and the Thunder Prison Divine Peng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was stunned. Human and demon races joining forces?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they instinctively thought of the words Lian Buwei of the Dao Sect had said earlier—\"Luo Chen is colluding with the demon race!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the face of the powerful strength Luo Chen had just displayed, comparable to a Soul Transformation great power, no one dared to voice these words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianduzi just asked cautiously: \"How did you do it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen countered: \"I can refine Nascent Soul Pills and Enlightenment Pills for you; can I not refine pills for them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does the demon race need pills for cultivation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd looked blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Crane Emperor, sitting behind True Person Xian He, who said thoughtfully: \"Transformation Pills?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Crane Emperor of that year had not fully transformed, and it was only thanks to the Transformation Pill gifted by Luo Chen that he succeeded in reaching the Nascent Soul realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen nodded: \"Yes, Transformation Pills, but not just Transformation Pills. And you must understand one principle: after signing the armistice treaty, the two races will usher in a period of brief peace. Communicating with each other and exchanging resources will be better than attacking and slaughtering. Think about it, how many rare flowers, herbs, ores, and treasures are there in the Million Great Mountains? These can all be exchanged for magic treasures and pills without going through battle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen said a lot, but in reality, these were all excuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The batch of demon race experts he invited didn't need to pay any price at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hall Master of the Crossing Truth Hall has the power to summon all existences under his command!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others didn't know about this, and instead began to think: if the human and demon races joined forces, would they have the capital to take on the Tian Yuan Dao Sect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen spoke eloquently, continuing: \"In this battle, we will gather the peak combat power of the Eastern Wasteland, but it is not to take on the Tian Yuan Dao Sect as a whole. After the Great Tribulation of the Central Plains, the entire continent split apart. My goal is only the Dao Sect's ancestral court, the Dongyuan Continent. As long as we are fast enough, we can leave leisurely before reinforcements from the other two continents arrive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the others visibly breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Great Elder Dongyang still shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The current Dao Sect ancestral court has the Liancheng Ancestor presiding within, and is protected by the four top giant families—Lian, Ke, Shi, and Li—on the outside, and there are also many Nascent Soul families. Relying solely on us is still not enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen was not surprised by Great Elder Dongyang's knowledge of the Dao Sect; after all, the other had once been the first local force in the Eastern Wasteland to defect to the Tian Yuan Dao Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen just spat out two more names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Canghai, Qingshuang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the crowd, there was slight confusion, but there were also those well-informed who recognized these two names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Canghai, could it be that great power from the North Sea?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, he has a tacit understanding with me, and will strike together when the time comes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Qingshuang—perhaps you don't know, but she has already broken through to the Soul Transformation realm and achieved the body of an ancient demon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was even more shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That number one demon below Soul Transformation, who had dominated the Eastern Wasteland for three hundred years, had broken through to the Soul Transformation realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so fast, yet it felt so natural, as if the other was always meant to be this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, everyone suddenly understood, and even felt fortunate about the armistice treaty signed earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Qingshuang's ability, she could dominate the Eastern Wasteland before; if she were to strike now, who in the vast Eastern Wasteland could stop her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cangwu Mountain has an irreconcilable hatred with the Tian Yuan Dao Sect.
