Chapter 556: Pier blunder, the so-called holy land

Luo Chen's excitement had its reasons.

Along the way, he had created a set of cultivation techniques and a set of secret arts.

They were "Ten Thousand Daos Merging" and "Micro-Dust Origin Art."

But the former was not his own achievement.

It relied on a large amount of achievement points to forcibly complete "Heavenly Peng Transformation" through the system.

What he provided was just a large accumulation.

To use a vivid metaphor, it was as if he had collected many article fragments, then submitted them to an AI, and after paying a fee, the AI helped complete and generate the second half of an incomplete article.

This kind of thing, if someone else came, with a little effort, they could actually do it.

It could be said that creating "Ten Thousand Daos Merging" for him was not something particularly worth being proud of.

Even "Micro-Dust Origin Art" was the same.

Although "Micro-Dust Origin Art" did not use the system to deduce, in fact, the five Core Formation secret arts that made up this technique were each complete, and each could lead to the Core Formation Dao.

Luo Chen just summarized the "Micro-Dust Origin Art" technique through personal practice, cultivating all five secret arts to perfection.

This belonged to doing it first, then summarizing it.

Among ordinary Core Formation cultivators, he might be called a leader, but in the end, it was just a "small technique."

It was definitely not a master who could establish a sect and write books.

At that time, the self-satisfaction now seems quite laughable.

Only now!

Creating a demon cultivation method for himself, Luo Chen could be called proud!

He was not of the demon race, and among the many cultivation techniques and secret arts he had learned, there was only one transformation technique similar to a demon.

In this case, combining the strengths of a hundred schools, understanding the transformation of power, and creating a demon cultivation method purely with his own wisdom and knowledge without relying on the system at all.

How could he not be proud?

Such an achievement, let alone ordinary Core Formation cultivators, even some Nascent Soul True Persons might not be able to do it.

This could be seen from Han Zhan's surprised and shocked tone!

"It's a pity that it's not a cultivation method for the human race, otherwise, just based on this technique, combined with my Core Formation secret art "Micro-Dust Origin Art", it would be enough to create a Dao lineage and leave my inheritance."

Besides pride, Luo Chen also had some regrets.

In the Eastern Wasteland, he had also established a sect.

But in the Luotian Sect, there was only the "Micro-Dust Origin Art" he left behind, and no inheritance technique he created himself.

The cultivation techniques practiced by the disciples of the inner sect were all collected from outside, and could not be called sect secrets.

Even "Ten Thousand Daos Merging" was just a body refining technique, and it was not a traditional body refining technique, but purely exercising the physique, and even Wang Yuan only borrowed it and did not cultivate it.

It could be said that his so-called establishment of a sect was incomplete, and at most it was just an alternative "Yan Alliance."

At this moment, the noise and clamor of the outside world seemed to disappear.

When he learned that Luo Chen had truly created a cultivation method for himself, Tianxuan covered her mouth, excited.

Thump.

The woman knelt on the ground, excited, "Thank you, Master, Tianxuan will never forget it!"

Luo Chen smiled freely, "Just a small matter, don't take it to heart."

Although he said so, the kindness was indescribable.

You know, ordinary demonic beasts generally don't have cultivation methods, mostly relying on instinct to absorb heaven and earth spiritual energy, using years to pile up the realm bit by bit.

Only great demons with bloodline inheritance would occasionally awaken one or two cultivation methods after reaching a certain realm.

Luo Chen had two great spirit beasts under his command.

Black King, after taking a large amount of top-grade Emperor Flowing Pulp, luckily obtained a bloodline inheritance, but it was still unclear.

Tianxuan, apart from a more solid foundation, had almost no changes.

Now that Luo Chen bestowed the method, it was no different from a rebirth, a bloodline gift.

The word "Master" was sincere.

Seeing this master and servant singing together, Han Zhan was quite resentful on the side.

"Why are you burning it so fast? Show it to me first!"

Luo Chen waved his hand, "The original draft is too rough, and some details need to be refined. After revision, you can borrow it, after all, you contributed a lot to creating this technique."

Han Zhan was curious, "Does it still need refinement?"

Luo Chen nodded, "Yes, the transformation method at the end was improved by me borrowing from the Transformation Pill recipe, although it can be cultivated, there are ultimately flaws."

Tianxuan stood up, puzzled, "But I have already transformed, why do I still need to cultivate the transformation method?"

Luo Chen thought for a moment and said cautiously, "In my understanding, the transformation lightning tribulation is both a disaster and a creation. By passing the tribulation, demon cultivators can not only change their body size at will, but their soul will also be tempered, thereby turning the advantage of cultivation years into purity and condensation, thus making up for the soul gap with human immortal cultivators. Therefore, you still need to cultivate the transformation method, pass that heaven and earth lightning tribulation, and walk the last journey."

Tianxuan listened, confused.

Han Zhan was thoughtful.

Normal demonic beasts, cultivation years are basically far beyond immortal cultivators.

Logically speaking, the soul foundation is also far stronger than immortal cultivators.

But in reality, below Nascent Soul, the soul foundation of immortal cultivators is crushing demonic beasts of the same stage.

The difference is the comparison of quality and quantity.

The transformation lightning tribulation is the way heaven uses to make up for this shortcoming of demon cultivators.

Unexpectedly, Luo Chen actually understood this point.

He was the one who was slow to react.

He sighed, "It seems that through this creation of a technique, you have gained a lot!"

Luo Chen had a smile on his lips, "Slight gains, slight gains."

Although he said slight gains, his heart was blooming with joy.

Give him a little more time to settle, and he could transform these gains into tangible power.

In this way, it was not a waste of seven months of work!

Through the window, thousands of sails were falling, and hundreds of boats were gathering.

The man stretched.

"Let's go, it's time to go to Cold Light Island and head to Feileng City."

Casting a cleaning spell, removing all traces and auras related to himself in the cabin, the man in black wrapped the Soul Refining Banner with white cloth and carried it on his back, calmly walking out of the cabin.

Tianxuan followed behind, full of admiration, step by step.

The footsteps stopped at the deck.

Luo Chen, with Tianxuan, hid behind the crowd, silently watching the scene on the pier.

It's Wu Qi!

He brought a group of people and specifically guarded the pier to welcome someone.

I don't know where he got the news, but he just happened to guard the White family merchant ship.

However, the coincidence was that after the grand preparation, the person welcomed was not the right one!

He Yuan did not notice at first.

He was still a little surprised, but seeing Wu Qi, a capable general under the Blood Demon Luo, bring people to welcome him, he just thought the other party knew the news of his arrival.

After all, along the way, he hadn't restrained his aura much.

Anyone with a heart could find out his whereabouts.

He himself also used this way to inform the Blood Demon Luo that he, the direct descendant of the Yuanmo lineage of the Yuanmo Sect, had arrived!

Having such a welcome was a matter of course.

Even, he felt that this welcome lineup was not grand enough.

A mere three Core Formation cultivators, a dozen Foundation Establishment True Persons, this kind of lineup was really shabby.

Thinking back when the Yuanmo Sect was still there, the true disciples of the three main lineages had followers gathered, and when they traveled, they could often drive multiple powerful people of the same stage, and those who were valued would have a True Person from the branch as a protector on the side.

He Yuan comforted himself, "This is a different time, get used to it. After restoring the Demon Sect in the future, the so-called lineup and glory will be within reach."

However!

When his gaze touched Wu Qi's suspicious and uncertain gaze, and the spiritual sense that scanned him unscrupulously, he finally realized something was wrong!

The two early Core Formation cultivators beside Wu Qi had not seen the true face of the right person.

They only knew that they were going to welcome a very powerful alchemist today. They also had a good relationship with Wu Qi, so they got this opportunity to come and get to know him in advance and get familiar with him. It would be more convenient to ask for pills in the future than others.

At this moment, seeing the person arrive, the momentum was extremely strong, the eyes were wanton and unruly, and indeed had the demeanor of a holy land descendant.

They thought they had received the right person.

Although they were strange why Wu Qi stopped, they couldn't help but rush to speak first.

"I think this must be Demon Lord Qingyang!"

"Long admired, long admired!"

Just as the two opened their mouths, Wu Qi's pupils shrank, feeling something was wrong.

He hurriedly opened his mouth, "Two fellow Daoists, don't..."

However, it was already too late.

He Yuan, who was surrounded by everyone, had his anger soar, and his spiritual pressure overflowed, "What Demon Lord Qingyang! I am He Yuanzi, the direct descendant of Yuanmo, let Blood Demon Luo come to see me!"

The powerful Core Formation spiritual pressure was pressed out from the front, directly forcing the two Core Formation masters who wanted to come up to get familiar with him to retreat in embarrassment.

The onlookers also showed expressions of astonishment and shock.

The astonishment was naturally that the other party suddenly made trouble, but the shock was because the other party called Blood Demon Luo directly and spoke in an arrogant tone.

Blood Demon Luo, that is the master of the Demon Luo Flow!

A dignified Nascent Soul True Person, how can he be called by others like this.

If this spreads out, how can their Demon Luo Flow stand in the Northern Sea immortal cultivation world?

However, before others could speak, Wu Qi's pupils shrank.

He saw the deep and dark magic power fluctuation under He Yuan's strong spiritual pressure.

That is demonic Qi!

Pure demonic Qi!

Associating with the information obtained before, he suddenly realized.

He pushed away his two good friends and walked up against He Yuan's spiritual pressure.

While walking, his lips moved, but no sound came out.

He Yuan, who was originally furious, raised his eyebrows after hearing the other party's sound transmission.

Then he snorted coldly.

"There is something important now, I won't argue with you. But this offensive act, this seat has recorded it."

"Humph!"

After a heavy and unpleasant snort, he walked forward with big strides.

Wu Qi, who was blocking the front, hurriedly gave way and commanded everyone to follow behind He Yuan.

The two pale Core Formation cultivators came over, wanting to ask for an explanation.

Wu Qi shook his head, just signaling to follow.

Before leaving, Wu Qi looked at the White family merchant ship with some regret, but finally did not find the figure he wanted to see.

On the White family merchant ship, the lively atmosphere before became a bit oppressive with a farce.

After the parties involved left, they started to discuss in low voices again, like a group of mosquitoes.

"I thought He Yuan Shangren was warmly received by the Demon Luo Flow, but I didn't expect it to be a blunder."

"Who is that Demon Lord Qingyang? He actually made Wu Qi of Wu Island come to welcome him in person, why haven't I heard of this person before?"

"This name sounds familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere."

"Regardless of these, He Yuan Shangren hasn't entered the Demon Luo Flow yet, and he has already had such an unpleasant conflict with the Core Formation cultivators inside, I'm afraid Chen Daoyou and the others will not have a peaceful life following him!"

"I don't think so. He Yuan Shangren is powerful, just showing his cultivation, he suppressed two people of the same stage until they couldn't breathe. Between his words, he was even more impolite to Blood Demon Luo, who is a Nascent Soul True Person. His identity must be extremely noble. Chen Daoyou and the others, I'm afraid they have hugged a thick thigh!"

"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this first. Count the goods on the ship and prepare to go to the island for trading. By the way, notify other passengers... eh, where is Fellow Daoist Luo Hai?"

Bai Xiang's spiritual sense swept over, but he didn't see Luo Hai.

Someone next to him said casually, "Maybe he left the ship while it was chaotic just now!"

Bai Xiang frowned, that Luo Hai was really strange.

Clearly sophisticated and proficient in negotiation, but after boarding the ship, he behaved quite eccentrically, and now he left without saying a word when he arrived at Cold Light Island.

After thinking for a long time, he shook his head helplessly.

"Perhaps I misjudged him, just a novice who learned some ways of the world from his family elders, which is why he did some things well and some things rashly. It's just that the forces on Cold Light Island are intricate, and he is alone and helpless to travel, if he provokes someone he shouldn't, he can only pray for his own luck."

Luo Hai, the novice in Bai Xiang's mouth, was currently walking on Cold Light Island.

Stepping on the solid land, the feeling of drifting on the ship dissipated.

Luo Chen looked around, observing the local customs here.

The buildings eroded by the sea breeze, the clothing styles different from the Eastern Wasteland, the slightly accented tone...

These are all appearances!

In fact, he was chatting happily with Han Zhan through spiritual sense.

"Just as you thought, the Demon Luo Flow is quite concerned about you, and someone came to wait for you before you arrived."

"Hehe, it's just right to have He Yuan as a cover, so I don't have to fall into their sight for the first time."

"It seems they value you very much, why do you have to go around in circles?"

"Before I thoroughly understand what kind of person Blood Demon Luo is, I dare not contact the other party."

Speaking of this, Luo Chen slowed down his pace slightly.

"It's very strange, why does a Core Formation True Person like He Yuan speak so impolitely to Blood Demon Luo, a Nascent Soul True Person? This is simply contrary to my previous impression that the immortal cultivation world respects strength and realm."

Han Zhan chuckled, "Does it really contradict? Think about it again!"

Luo Chen frowned, thoughts flowing in his mind, and finally a picture popped up.

That was when Tao Wan won the Dao Seed position and became the Daoist of the Green Pill Valley, coming to Tianlan Immortal City for the first time.

He remembered very clearly that Tao Wan, who was only in the Foundation Establishment stage at the time, had a Core Formation True Person accompanying her, and the other party obviously listened to Tao Wan's command.

Luo Chen was thoughtful.

Han Zhan said leisurely, "It seems you've figured it out. Although you established a Core Formation sect before, you are not a sect-born person after all, and you don't understand some things in major sects."

"Within the sect, realm and strength can indeed affect a cultivator's status. But there is a kind of person who can skip these two restrictions."

"That is a genius!"

"Geniuses with excellent qualifications are the hope of the sect. For this future hope, the sect is willing to pour completely unequal resources into the other party. Pills, magic treasures, cultivation techniques... even letting high-realm cultivators specifically protect them, ensuring that the other party successfully exchanges their talent and becomes a top powerhouse of the sect."

Luo Chen responded, "You mean to say that He Yuan is that kind of genius?"

Han Zhan gave a hum, "More or less. After all, he is a person who can cultivate pure demonic Qi at the Core Formation stage, and he is also the direct descendant of the most noble Yuanmo lineage of the Yuanmo Sect. This kind of transformation holy land has far more Nascent Soul powerhouses than our ordinary Nascent Soul sects. This also leads to the status of Nascent Soul True Persons in the sect not being as lofty as you rogue cultivators think."

If the quantity is large, it is not valuable.

Things are valuable when they are rare, Luo Chen still understands this truth.

But understanding is one thing, and a dignified Nascent Soul True Person being ignored by a Core Formation cultivator is also too discordant.

"The holy land doesn't care how many Nascent Soul True Persons their subordinates can produce. What they want is seedlings that can reach the Transformation stage. This also leads to the status of Core Formation cultivators who are expected to transform being higher than some ordinary Nascent Soul True Persons."

Luo Chen found it hard to accept, "How can there be anything ordinary about those who can achieve the Nascent Soul realm?"

"The so-called ordinary and excellent are never judged by the height of the realm, but by horizontal comparison. Our cultivation is all about being washed out by the big waves, one in a hundred. A Foundation Establishment cultivator is naturally powerful among thousands of Qi Refining cultivators. But if it is among hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators of the same stage, it is also necessary to distinguish between high and low, and discuss excellent and ordinary. How can this set of standards not work on Nascent Soul True Persons?"

Luo Chen opened his mouth, and finally said dejectedly, "Perhaps, it's not that I don't understand Nascent Soul True Persons, it's that I don't understand the so-called Transformation Holy Land!"

Han Zhan smiled, but this time it was not relaxed, with a hint of heaviness and bitterness.

In front of the Transformation Holy Land, Nascent Soul True Persons like them who emerged from millions of cultivators really count for nothing.

Even powerful ones like the Shenyuan True Person of the Five Elements God Sect and the Hehuan Old Ancestor of the Hehuan Sect, these are all famous late Nascent Soul great cultivators, still begging for a chance to cultivate in the holy land but failing.

The Transformation Holy Land, that is the supreme existence that truly dominates the Mountain and Sea World!

Skipping this heavy topic, Han Zhan asked, "What do you plan to do next?"

Luo Chen squeezed out a smile, "Didn't I think about it before? Go to Feileng City to settle down first, and then act according to the situation."

Han Zhan did not object.

In the afterglow of the sunset, the man in black carried a white strip on his back and walked step by step toward a magnificent giant city that was emerald green and had a cold and secluded color.
