Chapter 645: His Inheritance

Mountains collapsed, rivers changed their courses.

On the earth, there were ruins everywhere, and there was a towering stone pillar standing abruptly, its complex and exquisite patterns seemingly telling of the past glory of this land.

Three figures swept past from the sky.

Those were three cultivators wearing the same standard disciple robes, their cultivation realm no more than the Qi Refining stage.

But the black horses they rode had strange auras, and one look showed they were not to be trifled with.

The three seemed to have long been accustomed to the scene below and did not stop at all.

Before long, the three rode their black horses to the outside of a towering mountain peak.

Faintly, one could see buildings standing everywhere in the mountain range, whether high or low, and the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth around.

The leader of the three saw this scene and snorted coldly.

"A small sect that moved from a remote area actually deserves to possess such high-quality spiritual vein land in my Five Elements Domain; I don't know what the people above are thinking."

The people beside him heard this and echoed it one after another.

However, among the echoes, there were also different opinions.

"Although it is a declining small sect, it also has its unique points; that Great Elder of the Luo Tian Sect, Demon Warrior Wang Yuan, has a body-refining technique that is truly outstanding!"

"Yes! I heard that in the Eastern Wasteland demon chaos battlefield back then, there were twenty-seven famous major sects on the front line. When the demon chaos war broke out, except for the Nascent Soul upper sects like our Five Elements Divine Sect, most of them were buried in the first wave of the demon tide. Only a few Jin Dan major sects ran out. And this Luo Tian Sect was one of them; Demon Warrior Wang Yuan was the first hero who preserved the sect back then! It is said that the battle was heaven-collapsing and earth-shattering, rivers were cut off, and among the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, I don't know how many people with profound Dao practice fell in it..."

Hearing his junior brothers talk about the past, Ran Feng, who was in the late Qi Refining stage, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Demon Warrior Wang Yuan was indeed a figure.

Even in the words of the sect elders, he had to be given respect.

But the Luoyun Sect, that was just this one person.

The rest were not to be feared!

"Enter the mountain; we will have completed the mission once we convey the instructions."

After saying this, he drove his black horse directly into the Luo Tian Sect.

The value-duty disciples of the Luo Tian Sect had long discovered the sudden arrival of the three.

Seeing their actions, they hurriedly greeted them.

"Dismount, visitors, please report..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ran Feng directly threw out a token and, ignoring the other party's reaction, broke into the mountain.

"It's people from the Five Elements Divine Sect!"

"That is a neighing beast; the visitor is Ran Feng, who is famous among the Qi Refining disciples of the Five Elements Divine Sect!"

The Luo Tian Sect disciples' expressions changed slightly, and they hurriedly chased after them.

Even if they were people from a Nascent Soul upper sect, they couldn't be this impolite!

Seven or eight disciples hurried to catch up and finally stopped on a mountain path halfway up the mountain.

Because someone had blocked Ran Feng and the other two.

That was a sturdy middle-aged man with metallic wings on his back and a huge broadsword in his hand.

On the ground, there was a long trench lying across between the two sides, like a natural chasm.

Thump!

The broadsword leaned on the ground, and the sturdy man's face was full of murderous intent: "This is the Luo Tian Sect! This is not a place for you to run wild; even if your sect's Master Lin Mu came in person, he would be courteous. You are too presumptuous."

Ran Feng's contemptuous expression was put away, and he looked at the other party with slight solemnity.

"Who are you?"

The sturdy middle-aged man said coldly: "I do not change my name or surname, I am Ceng Yilong!"

As soon as this name came out, Ran Feng frowned slightly; he didn't have this person in his memory!

But the other party had just forced back their three neighing beasts and intercepted them with peerless energy; he should not be an unknown person.

The junior brother behind him had walked outside for many years and was familiar with figures in the cultivation world, so he immediately explained to his senior brother who didn't go out much: "His Daoist name is Evil Sha Longzi; he is the only personal disciple of Demon Warrior Wang Yuan, and his strength is extremely strong. He is also known as the number one person under the Jin Dan stage in the Luo Tian Sect."

As soon as the three words Evil Sha Longzi came out, Ran Feng raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, so you are the warlike element that Zhou Shijie Qi keeps on her lips!"

"Fellow Daoist Qi, is it?" Hearing the name of an acquaintance, Ceng Yilong's expression relaxed slightly. He nodded, "If there are no accidents, then it is me she is talking about."

"I heard that in the battle of the border city back then, you cooperated with Zhou Shijie Qi to kill the Third-Rank Fire-Eyed Fierce Bull King, which established Zhou Shijie Qi's position as one of the nine great Dao seeds of my sect. Looking at it now, you do have some style..."

Between this question and answer, the atmosphere between the two sides eased slightly.

Ceng Yilong gave a wink to the Luo Tian Sect disciples who had rushed over, and they immediately understood and bypassed the two sides to go to the sect's important area.

Only the two sides remained in the strange atmosphere to talk.

Before long, Ceng Yilong's expression moved slightly, and he cleared the way.

"Please, our sect master is waiting for you!"

Ran Feng nodded and took a serious look at Ceng Yilong before leaving.

He knew there was a person named Evil Sha Longzi, but he didn't know he came from the Luo Tian Sect.

Looking at it now, this Luo Tian Sect was not completely useless!

After dismounting from the neighing beast, Ran Feng walked neither fast nor slow, and his original contemptuous attitude was also put away.

His gaze wandered over the surrounding environment from time to time.

"This array... has some merits; although it is not as good as my Divine Sect's great array, if I had broken in just now regardless of anything, I would have been peeled alive even if I didn't die."

"Is that back mountain the place where the strong of the Luo Tian Sect are in seclusion?"

"With my divine sense, I actually feel a few points of suppression, separated by such a distance... No wonder the sect elders told me not to underestimate the people of the world. These cultivators who killed their way out of the Eastern Wasteland demon chaos war are indeed not comparable to those junior brothers in the sect who only know how to talk big."

Amidst the turmoil in his heart, Ran Feng had a few more points of respect for this small sect that had moved from a remote place, but there was more pity in his eyes.

After he conveyed the orders sent from above, perhaps it wouldn't be long before this Luo Tian Sect would decline.

Before long, he saw a graceful female figure standing in front of a brand-new great hall.

The woman bowed gracefully when she saw Ran Feng.

"Luo Tian Sect Master Yao Mingyue, welcomes the Divine Sect's upper envoy."

Compared with the strong Evil Sha Longzi, this Luo Tian Sect Master's attitude was much more humble.

Ran Feng had experienced that encounter just now, so he didn't climb up the pole to get arrogant.

He took the token he had thrown out earlier to show his identity from the other party's hand.

"I am Ran Feng, a disciple of Master Yan Yun of the Divine Fire Peak, and my grandmaster is Divine Fire True Person!"

Divine Fire Peak?

Hearing the other party's background, Yao Mingyue's heart skipped a beat.

Within the Five Elements Divine Sect, the Sword Peak and the Wood Peak were the friendliest to them, and this piece of land was decided by the Sword Peak to be given to them.

And the least friendly one was clearly the Divine Fire Peak.

Usually, it was the Sword Peak and the Wood Peak who contacted them.

This time, the person who came to deliver the letter was changed to someone from the Divine Fire Peak; could it be that something was going to happen?

In a cave dwelling on the back mountain.

Yao Mingyue stood respectfully in front of a red-clothed young woman who looked even younger than her.

"Master, the meaning of the Five Elements Divine Sect is just like this."

The red-clothed young woman turned around, her expression condensed.

"Let our Luo Tian Sect take the lead, unite with the seven major Jin Dan sects, and go to retake the Three-Way Jiang He?"

Yao Mingyue bit her lip, "That Three-Way Jiang He is occupied by a large number of Second-Rank monsters, and there are even over a dozen Third-Rank Demon Kings. Most importantly, there are several fallen immortal cities nearby; once the war starts, the Demon Kings stationed in those immortal cities will come out in full force, and we will be attacked from both sides, which is almost equivalent to sending us to death!"

Yes!

Nowadays, the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world is no longer the situation of outward expansion from the beginning.

In the million-strong Great Mountains, countless monsters surged out, constantly attacking the human territory.

For decades, over a dozen major domains have fallen.

Even if the Holy Land Mingyuan Sect came forward to organize manpower and once retook several major domains, what greeted them was an even more ferocious beast tide next time.

I heard that even battles between Nascent Soul stages have erupted several times.

The red-clothed young woman fell into silence.

After a long while, she asked softly: "Can you find out if this is the meaning of the Five Elements Divine Sect, or the decree of the Holy Land?"

Yao Mingyue's tone was hesitant, "The Holy Land's decree has always been in the general direction, and the specific mobilization of manpower is done by the Nascent Soul upper sects like the Five Elements Divine Sect. This time, although Ran Feng's words are still the arrangement of the Holy Land, in the disciple's view..."

She didn't finish her words.

But the meaning was already very clear.

The red-clothed young woman sighed, "It seems that the Divine Sect can no longer tolerate us occupying this high-quality Third-Rank spiritual vein."

Shaking her head, she asked about another matter.

"On the side of the Fairy Fenghua Palace, can Lingjun send any news?"

Hearing that name, Yao Mingyue fell into silence.

Luo Tian Sect's chief alchemist Qu Lingjun, once he entered the Fairy Fenghua Palace, there was no news from him since.

Didn't he say he would gain a firm foothold in the Fairy Fenghua Palace with his alchemy and seek a piece of land for the Luo Tian Sect to rest and recuperate in the rear of the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world?

After a long while, she finally couldn't help but speak: "Master, Qu Lingjun only fears that he has already forgotten..."

"Shut up!"

The red-clothed young woman's expression was sharp!

"He is your senior brother! He is the disciple of the Supreme Elder! How can you discuss him recklessly!"

Yao Mingyue lowered her head, but there were still a few points of resentment in her eyes.

For these decades, the Luo Tian Sect has been swaying in the wind and rain, relying on everyone's concerted efforts to survive and keep the mountain gate from falling.

Those guest cultivators and temporarily recruited rogue cultivators go without saying; abandoning and fleeing at critical moments is a common occurrence.

But Qu Lingjun's departure was the biggest blow to the sect members who didn't know the truth.

She gave up her own cultivation and used all her energy to handle worldly affairs and interpersonal relationships, only then letting the Luo Tian Sect not be excluded by the local forces of the Five Elements Divine Sect.

Who could understand the hard work and dedication in this?

Why should she respect Qu Lingjun who had no news for twenty years!

"Sigh... Mingyue, you go down first! Regarding the Three-Way Jiang He war, I will discuss it with the elders, and by then, the rear will have to rely on you to control the overall situation."

Yao Mingyue said "um".

Before leaving, she carefully raised her head and looked expectantly at the red-clothed young woman.

"Master, when can you form a Jin Dan?"

The red-clothed young woman was full of confidence, "At most thirty years, you don't have to worry. Now our sect has five great Jin Dan elders, your Uncle Gu has already reached the Jin Dan Great Perfection, and forming a Jin Dan is just around the corner; once she and I form our Jin Dans one after another, our Luo Tian Sect will have seven Jin Dan cultivators. With this strength, there will eventually be a place for us in this Eastern Wasteland."

Having obtained the guarantee, Yao Mingyue's mood finally relaxed a bit.

Her departing footsteps didn't seem so heavy.

However, she didn't see the red-clothed young woman's drooping eyelids.

"Forming a Jin Dan..."

A faint sigh sounded from the cave dwelling.

Accompanied by another mocking voice.

"President Sima Hui Niang, I don't know why you have such confidence in forming a Jin Dan. You are only barely at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment now!"

A young woman in a white palace dress walked in boldly.

Seeing the visitor, President Sima Hui Niang's expression sank.

"Gu Caiyi, you have finally reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, why are you running around instead of closing up to form a Jin Dan? The resources for forming a Jin Dan that the sect squeezed out for you are not to be wasted like this."

"Hmph!"

Gu Caiyi snorted coldly, "If I didn't come out, would I not know if you all went to the Three-Way Jiang He battlefield and died?"

President Sima Hui Niang pursed her lips and shook her head gently: "It's hard to say about this matter; it depends on how Wang Yuan and Facing Chu Kui decide."

The war of the Luo Tian Sect has always been decided by Wang Yuan and Facing Chu Kui.

The former charges into battle, and the latter commands from the center on the battlefield.

As for the other three Jin Dan elders, they were guest cultivators recruited one after another over the years.

And the Luo Tian Alliance of that year had long existed in name only during the demon chaos days.

Gu Caiyi said in a low voice: "In that battle at Ten Thousand Immortals City three years ago, Wang Yuan was not lightly injured; this time I'm afraid we..."

"What do you want to say?" President Sima Hui Niang looked over with raised eyebrows.

"I mean, the Five Elements Domain is not a place to stay for long, and that Five Elements Divine Sect also has an ambiguous attitude toward us. I'm afraid they don't have such good intentions to take us in, and now they are even letting us go to die. So, should we consider the plan of your brother President Sima Wenjie?"

"You mean merging into the Demon Cliff?" President Sima Hui Niang said the plan, and then resolutely refused, "Impossible! The Luo Tian Sect is his foundation; even if I die, I will not agree to merge the sect."

The Demon Cliff they were talking about was another fairly famous Nascent Soul upper sect in the Eastern Wasteland.

Back then, it had also participated in the opening war of the Roaring Moon Mountain Range.

In that battle, several Nascent Soul upper sects joined forces.

But the final result was that the Luoyun Sect was destroyed, the Yuding Sword Sect was crushed by monsters, and even the Medicine King Sect not far away was forced to move and leave the original domain.

Only the Five Elements Divine Sect, the Fairy Fenghua Palace, and the Demon Cliff, which were far away, preserved their strength.

Oh!

There was also the main participant of that opening war, the Heavenly Sail City, which was now in name only.

The sect was still there, but the main person in charge was already an agent of the Mingyuan Sect's strongmen.

After that battle, the Nascent Soul upper sects were affected, but the ones most affected were actually the Jin Dan sects like the Luo Tian Sect.

The famous Jin Dan major sects in the Yuding Domain back then, such as the Green Alchemy Valley, the Ice Fortress, etc., had long since scattered like wind and clouds.

The elites of the sect, even if they survived, either became rogue cultivators or were absorbed by the Nascent Soul upper sects.

Among these forces, those like the Luo Tian Sect that traveled thousands of miles and still maintained the sect framework were very few.

From this, it could be seen how refined the power remaining in the Luo Tian Sect was.

Therefore, Nascent Soul upper sects like the Demon Cliff had the idea of absorbing the Luo Tian Sect and had repeatedly sent people to contact them secretly.

Seeing President Sima Hui Niang so resolute, Gu Caiyi's eyes turned red.

"Do you think I don't take his foundation to heart?"

"But if the people are all gone, and only the bare name of the Luo Tian Sect remains, what's the use?"

"Lingjun has no news, the Five Elements Divine Sect has an ambiguous attitude toward us, and if this continues, after battle after battle of slaughter, how many of us in the Luo Tian Sect can survive?"

"Most importantly, is he really still alive?"

President Sima Hui Niang stepped forward abruptly and looked at Gu Caiyi dead in the eye.

"He is alive!"

Gu Caiyi gritted her teeth and said: "But back then, all the Jin Dan cultivators who went to the Great Snow Mountain died! This is the information disclosed by all sects later; how can you be sure he is still alive?"

President Sima Hui Niang pointed at her own chest, "He is really still alive!"

"Does he live in your heart?" Gu Caiyi looked at President Sima Hui Niang with pity, "I am also willing to believe he is still alive, but the fact is that sixty years have passed, and there is no news at all!"

President Sima Hui Niang's tone softened slightly, and she shook her head.

"I told you before, at my Foundation Establishment ceremony, Facing Chu Kui gave me a pair of Luo Lingxi Gu. This Gu is divided into male and female, implanted in him and me, and nourished with heart blood. Mine is still alive, which means he is still alive, and even living very well."

"Don't mention that Luo Lingxi Gu again!"

Unexpectedly, Gu Caiyi was rarely out of control when mentioning this thing.

Her face flushed red, and her tone was almost a roar.

President Sima Hui Niang shook her head and did not argue.

She knew that the other party was jealous.

She had been jealous for so many years!

Jealous that she became Luo Chen's person before her.

Jealous that she believed more than anyone else that Luo Chen was still alive.

Jealous that she and Luo Chen had the connection of the so-called "Luo Lingxi" Gu insects.

And she, Gu Caiyi, in the persistence of year after year, gradually began to doubt whether Luo Chen was still alive.

To the point that the love had gradually become blurred.

Every time she thought of her wavering, she would be tormented by endless guilt.

So-called love, in the face of time, in the face of distance, is the least able to withstand the test.

"Forget it!"

"You should go back and close up well, and form a Jin Dan early!"

"The Luo Tian Sect is ultimately too weak to withstand the storms of the cultivation world. As for me..."

President Sima Hui Niang was somewhat dejected.

Even if she handed over the worldly affairs of the sect to her disciple Yao Mingyue and focused on cultivation, the gap in aptitude and the lack of resources made her increasingly restless about forming a Jin Dan.

Especially!

Her lifespan was running out.

She was older than Luo Chen and Gu Caiyi to begin with, and she barely completed Foundation Establishment before the age of sixty.

Now, from that two-hundred-and-fifty-year limit of Foundation Establishment, only a few decades remained.

The time needed to go from the initial ninth layer of Foundation Establishment to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and even take the final step to form a Jin Dan, was simply not what she could possess.

The thirty years she just told Yao Mingyue, hehe...

She smiled self-deprecatingly, already somewhat giving up.

Perhaps, this battle at the Three-Way Jiang He would be the last strength she contributed to the Luo Tian Sect.

Gu Caiyi got up and walked toward the outside of the cave dwelling.

Her back was somewhat dejected.

Just at this time!

A terrifying aura suddenly came from behind.

Gu Caiyi turned her head abruptly!

In her vision, President Sima Hui Niang's clothes were disheveled, and her hair bun was hanging down.

Her hands were covering her chest tightly, her face was incomparably pale, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

As if the sky had collapsed.

Such a loss of composure, even when she learned that all the cultivators at the Great Snow Mountain had fallen into the hands of the Demon Emperor, President Sima Hui Niang had never had it.

Could it be...

Gu Caiyi felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar, and said astringently:

"President Sima Hui Niang, what happened to him?"
