Chapter 1018: First of the Eastern Wasteland, Sword Points at Dao Sect

As Luo Chen's face sank, the temperature in the great hall seemed to drop quite a bit.

An oppressive and heavy aura spread slowly like a mountain, and everyone was silent as cicadas in winter.

Feeling this aura that was like heavenly might, people seemed to remember that the Luo Chen who had just been chatting and reminiscing with everyone was not only the Dan Sect famous for his benevolence and gentlemanly style in the Eastern Wasteland, but also a star of evil who had experienced countless battles, once hailed as the number one person under Soul Transformation, the Wuxiang Moluo!

Facing this aura, 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 incomparably 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 world's first holy land!

"Luo Chen, are you trying to kill us to silence us?" Lian Buwei gritted his teeth, forcibly opening his mouth: "The two of us are not worth mentioning, but have you thought about how to deal with the anger of the Tianyuan Dao Sect?"

Luo Chen stared at him, his words like ice: "Are you saying this sect is colluding with the demon race?"

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

"Hehe."

Luo Chen sneered.

"The road to my sect's rise is paved with the blood and corpses of countless demon race powerhouses; how can you say such ridiculous things as me colluding with the demon race? Moreover, the one who has hatred with Xixia Yuanjun 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 in the hall one after another, especially those sect powerhouses who once had a relatively good relationship with the Mingyuan Sect.

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

The newly ascended 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 a slave-like role. Most of the top-grade spirit wine brewed every year had to be offered to the Mingyuan Sect; this was no great kindness.

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

The Great Elder of Dongyang remained 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, forcibly saying: "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 lost by the various sects of the Eastern Wasteland 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 igniting the flames of war, would Mount Cangwu have moved its troops again?"

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

"In the final analysis, you are just wanting us Eastern Wasteland sects to be the vanguard and block Mount Cangwu for you!"

"How many people die, how many sects and families are destroyed, you don't care at all. What you care about is the strategic significance of the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world as a buffer zone, and the time that our lives can buy for the Tianyuan Dao Sect to recover its vitality."

"But why should we bear all this?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

Even now, there were nearly ten cultivation domains of various sizes left vacant, without Nascent Soul supreme sects to preside over them, and the resources within them were just cheap for loose cultivators.

As for after a thousand years?

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

After a thousand years, whether to fight or make peace, whether it is the demon race invading or the human race opening up territory, that is a matter for the future!

Suddenly.

Tian Du Zi's vicissitudes voice sounded slowly.

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

When Tian Du Zi opened his mouth, Luo Chen felt a relief in his heart.

Back when he became the Hall Master of the Du Zhen Hall, Xixia Yuanjun sent someone to give him several great gifts, 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 great battle in the Central Plains, the Tianyuan Dao Sect suffered heavy losses, and Xixia Yuanjun was also seriously injured.

In this situation, Mount Cangwu couldn't withstand too much tossing.

The first thing to do was to appease the nearby 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 solve the estrangement between the human and demon races to deal with the Tianyuan Dao Sect. But there was also that three-point public heart

?? Today's Eastern Wasteland cultivation world could not afford the price of a war covering the entire continent.

"The binding power naturally exists!"

Luo Chen explained patiently: "There is Xixia Yuanjun's signature on it, representing the Mount Cangwu force. And today's Mount Cangwu is the demon holy land of the Million Mountains; no one dares to disobey Xixia Yuanjun's order."

Tian Du Zi nodded, and then asked again: "What about our side?"

Luo Chen wrinkled his eyebrows, "The representatives of the major sects of the Eastern Wasteland are basically all here; wouldn't it be enough for us to sign together?"

Tian Du Zi shook his head slowly, calmly: "We can only represent ourselves, but today's Eastern Wasteland is full of various opportunities; it is hard to guarantee that there will be no major sect cultivators or family powerhouses, or even loose cultivators, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future."

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, loose cultivator Bo Han Jun!

They were such existences.

"These newly ascended powerhouses in the future, if they act rashly and initiate an opening war, what should be done? This treaty has no binding power on them. Dan Sect, the matter of the Luoyun and Hehuan sects, don't you want to see it again?"

The matter of the Luoyun and Hehuan sects?

Everyone's expression was shaken!

Luo Chen rubbed the ring on his hand, thinking carefully about Tian Du Zi's words.

Obviously, what Tian Du Zi said indeed had some truth.

After the ancient times, although the opening wars of various sizes had never been broken, some succeeded and some failed, but they were basically limited to one sect and one domain.

Only when the Luoyun Sect appeared, there was a change.

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

Of course, this was also within the rules.

But there were two things that were beyond the rules.

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

Two, Hehuan Sect True Person Yun He 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 was so vast, and they had sufficient reasons, standing on the moral high ground, because it was the human race that tore up the ceasefire treaty first.

Human hearts are always greedy.

A temporary restraint can only manage a temporary time, 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 Tian Du Zi.

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

Tian Du Zi nodded slightly, calmly: "Need a representative, a powerful representative like the Mingyuan Sect back then. Usually, restrain newly ascended 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 back then when the demon race swept through fifteen domains, causing countless human deaths and injuries."

As soon as this was said, everyone nodded.

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

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

The benefits contained in it were unimaginable!

When everyone was hesitant and restless, a crisp and pleasant voice stood out.

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

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

Facing everyone's gaze, this newly ascended Nascent Soul seemed to feel great pressure.

But she still said generously: "The Dan Sect's name, everyone should recognize it, right! If we talk about personal prestige, today's Eastern Wasteland, no one can compare. If we talk about personal strength, Luo Chen Dao brother 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 Dan Saint back then, today's Dan Sect had even greater influence!

And his strength was even more deified.

In the Eastern Wasteland, he fought out the name of True Person Killing Demon; in the Western Desert, he broke out the name of Wuxiang Moluo; 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 supreme sects. But the Luotian Sect's strength, everyone should have seen a general

Facing the gazes of the crowd, this newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator seemed to feel immense pressure.

But she still said generously: "The name of Dan Sect should be recognized by everyone, right! If we speak of personal prestige, in the current Eastern Wasteland, there is no one who can surpass him. If we speak of personal strength, Brother Luo Chen possesses the invincible bearing that crowns the Nascent Soul realm."

The crowd remained silent; Luo Chen indeed possessed extremely high prestige, not only limited to high-level cultivators, but there were also many rumors about him among low-level cultivators.

Compared to the Dan Saint of the past, the current Dan Sect has even greater influence!

And his strength has long since been deified.

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

Tao Wan spoke again, pointing outside: "And the Luo Tian Sect, although its establishment time is far from that of our upper sects, the strength of the Luo Tian Sect, everyone should have seen a rough idea of it today. May I ask, which sect can surpass the Luo Tian Sect?"

The crowd was shocked, remembering this matter that they had ignored, or even were unwilling to think about.

But the facts were right before their eyes.

The Luo Tian Sect, which had the shortest time since its founding, now had the strongest strength in the Eastern Wasteland, stronger than the Dongyang Sect and Bai Ludong!

Outside the hall, there are four Great Demon Emperors sitting in command!

Inside the hall, there are six Nascent Soul True Persons!

There are also powerhouses comparable to Nascent Soul True Persons like the Ghost Emperor Bai Qi and the War Demon Wang Yuan!

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

"This concubine believes that Luo Chen and the Luo Tian Sect are currently the most suitable existences to represent the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world!"

Others were still somewhat hesitant.

But following Tao Wan, another man with white eyebrows also stood up.

"This humble person is just a loose cultivator, unknown and not worth mentioning. Thanks to the grace of Dan Sect, I luckily formed my Core. Today, happening to be at this gathering, I also hope for a stable cultivation environment in the future. If Dan Sect becomes the representative of the Eastern Wasteland, Bo Hanjun has no objections."

If it is said that Tian Douzi spoke on behalf of the ancient sects, then Tao Wan and Bo Hanjun can be seen as representatives of the emerging forces of the future Eastern Wasteland.

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

"My Fenghua Palace agrees!"

"Jiuling Sect agrees!"

"Bai He Sect agrees!"

"Wanjian Pavilion agrees!"

……

The batch of people who spoke later, from front to back, were basically sects with close relationships with 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 Mr. Yao of Mount Qidong, he also disregarded past grievances and acknowledged the status of Luo Chen and the Luo Tian Sect.

In the end, only the strongest Bai Ludong and Dongyang Sect remained.

Under the gaze of the crowd, True Person Peng Xiang of Bai Ludong laughed: "In the past, my sect's Junior Brother Tie Guan fought alongside Dan Sect in the Badao Domain, and there was also the matter of this poor Daoist helping the Wuxing Shen Sect against the Luo Tian Sect, while Junior Brother Kong Tongzi only attained the Nascent Soul stage after receiving the grace of Dan Sect's Core Formation Pill. The grievances among them are not easy to calculate, but I trust Dan Sect's character. Since everyone has said so, Bai Ludong also agrees with 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 gave up their mountain gate to provide a foothold for the Dao Sect's powerhouses, at this moment, under the fierce gaze of Lian Buwei, the Great Elder of Dongyang showed a bitter smile.

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

The crowd did not force him to express his stance, but turned their attention back to Luo Chen.

A sigh was faintly emitted.

Luo Chen stood up and bowed to the crowd.

"Thanks to everyone's regard, then Luo will not decline. Since it was I who retrieved the ceasefire treaty, then as for this representative of the Eastern Wasteland human race, Luo and the Luo Tian Sect will also take on the responsibility!"

"In the future, the Luo Tian 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 any major event concerning the common interests of the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world, the Luo Tian Sect will take the lead and not live up to everyone's expectations today!"

"Everyone, please!"

As his words fell, Luo Chen casually made a stroke.

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

Others no longer hesitated and cast their respective magic powers, leaving 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 will usher in at least a thousand years of peaceful times.

Luo Chen cast a seal on the scroll and spoke a few details, such as announcing it to the world later, and that if any new Nascent Soul forces appear in the future, they will be allowed to sign the treaty, and so on.

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

One gaze after another revealed looks 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 Ambrosia Pill!" Mr. Yao of Mount Qidong blurted out, his face full of surprise: "You really refined it!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Yes, this is the ancient divine pill, the Ambrosia Pill, known as a pseudo-fifth-grade divine pill; it 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 rang out in the hall.

"Really?" Tian Douzi 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 all stared fixedly at that pill.

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

Everyone lost their composure.

Whether it was the elderly Tian Douzi, 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 an Ambrosia Pill on the spot.

They even stopped caring about what the requirement Luo Chen mentioned was.

No matter what major or minor matter it was, it was all acceptable!

After all, this is a top-priority matter concerning the Great Dao of Soul Transformation!

Tian Douzi 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, Luo will definitely gift a Ambrosia Pill, and will also offer the relevant experience for taking it."

Jiuling Yuanjun asked emotionally: "Who is the enemy?"

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

"Tianyuan Dao Sect!"

Everyone was stunned.

Boom! Boom!

In the silent place, a thunderclap suddenly arose!

Lian Buwei and Shi Chuanting exploded with magic power without hesitation and rushed out of the hall!

Luo Chen watched all this as if he were not worried at all.

And the next moment!

A mysterious yellow giant hand descended majestically from outside the hall, suppressing them.

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!
