Chapter 690: My name is Chu Yan, and the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm respect me as the Alchemy Saint
The ascender is Alchemy Saint Chu Yan!
The inside story of this, after Luo Chen arrived in the Central Continent, Fu Chaosheng no longer hid it, but told Luo Chen and others solemnly.
To be honest, when he first heard this news, Luo Chen was very shocked.
He had heard of that person's deeds since he was a child, and the name of the Alchemy Saint was deafening among alchemists.
People were both amazed at his exquisite attainments in alchemy and secretly criticized him for leaving the Mingyuan Sect to join the Tianyuan Dao Sect.
But now it seems that everything is worth it!
He stepped over the threshold of Soul Transformation and is about to ascend, which is the ultimate goal of all those who strive for longevity.
All efforts are for this ending.
But clearly, the Alchemy Saint's ending shows that sometimes choices are often greater than efforts.
If he were still in the Mingyuan Sect, could he still ascend?
I am afraid it is very difficult, there has been no news of cultivators ascending in the Eastern Wasteland for thousands of years.
Fu Chaosheng told them this inside story so solemnly at that time, clearly also with the intention of encouraging them to join the Star Gate.
Although it is not directly joining the Tianyuan Dao Sect, joining the Star Gate is also a bright future.
With the powerhouse from the Southern Border in the rumors, and the Alchemy Saint from the Eastern Wasteland, both cultivated to the Soul Transformation realm in the Star Gate, it can be seen that the Tianyuan Dao Sect does not discriminate against outsiders.
This is also why as soon as they reached the Central Continent, Winter Mountain Person and Lu Qiuzhen couldn't wait to rush to the Heaven and Earth Peak, they couldn't wait.
At this moment, Luo Chen stood in Zhigu City, looking at the vague outline of the Heaven and Earth Peak, and also couldn't help but be impatient.
Fu Chaosheng saw his longing expression and smiled lightly.
"Let's go, go directly to the Heaven and Earth Peak!"
Saying go directly, but being in the immortal city, there is a no-fly formation, so the two had to walk step by step out of the city.
Walking on the wide street, the conversations of cultivators around drifted into Luo Chen's ears from time to time.
It was not that he did it on purpose, it was just that his spiritual sense was strong to a certain extent, unless he deliberately blocked external information, otherwise all information between heaven and earth would involuntarily gather towards the cultivator.
From this point of view, it is reasonable for Nascent Soul cultivators to be easily assimilated by heaven and earth.
The stronger the spiritual sense, the less boundary feeling with heaven and earth, and over time, they might not even be able to distinguish "who am I".
"Spirit melting into heaven and earth" is not a joke.
"Go, go, go, hurry to the side of the Shi River, this kind of grand event must not be missed!"
"What happened?"
"Fellow Daoist Li, don't you know? The Five Heroes of Shangjun have arrived at Lankeshan, wanting to challenge the Tianyuan Linxian, right by the Shi River! Now, I am afraid they have already started playing."
"Hiss, first the Seven Sons of Muyuan challenged celebrity Dao Yin, now the Five Heroes of Shangjun have come to challenge Tianyuan Linxian, I really don't understand this chess world."
"What's there not to understand? Every time before the hundred-year grand competition, talents from all sides will gather at Lankeshan. It is both to observe the ceremony and to raise their own prestige, trying to get the sect's attention. Martial fighting is difficult to grasp the measure, but literary fighting does not need to worry about that much. Between the square inches of the chessboard, swords and shadows, it is either you die or I die, which is the best way to compete! And the three people standing at the top of the chess world now are the three most dazzling targets. As long as you defeat them, you can inherit the glory that has covered them for many years, which is very fast."
"Tsk tsk, that's what is said, but several people coming up together is a bit lacking in style."
"Why do you worry about them? Those three, if they want to avoid the endless challenges, they should do something different to block the eagerness of those who come later."
"Celebrity Dao Yin took a month to defeat the Seven Sons of Muyuan, I don't know if Tianyuan Linxian can win against the Five Heroes of Shangjun this time."
Luo Chen listened with relish while walking.
Fu Chaosheng explained the general situation to him casually on the side.
He naturally understands the three peaks of the chess world.
But he doesn't know much about the so-called Seven Sons and Five Heroes.
Under Fu Chaosheng's explanation, Luo Chen knew that these people came from other families of various sizes.
Due to regional connections, their chess skills are superb, and over time, they were divided by region by those who like to make trouble, and given general names.
The Seven Sons of Muyuan come from several family cultivators near the Mutin Grassland, their chess styles are different, all are nine-dan, or even graded.
The Five Heroes of Shangjun refer to five chess players who became famous together in a competition held in Shangjun City, even if they came from different places, they were given such names.
However, these can be considered young juniors, having become famous for no more than one or two hundred years.
Naturally, they cannot be compared with those three.
Luo Chen is a bit interested in another piece of information in his words.
"I understand nine-dan in chess, but what does nine-grade mean?"
Fu Chaosheng stroked his beard and smiled, "My Central Continent chess world divides the strength of chess players into nine levels. But above nine-dan, there is another nine-grade system, corresponding to their chess realm. Like the Seven Sons of Muyuan and Five Heroes of Shangjun, it is not strange to enter nine-dan after one or two hundred years, but it is a bit lacking in heat to enter the grade."
Luo Chen blinked, "What about those three? Have they entered the grade?"
"Naturally entered the grade, and are even the leaders among the nine grades. Like that Gu Celebrity Dao Yin, he has at least reached the realm of Tongyou!"
Luo Chen was amazed in his heart.
In the Mountain and Sea Realm, immortal arts can be said to be blooming, but it seems that no one has developed so finely as the Go of the Central Continent.
Whether it is the chess academies that teach chess skills everywhere, the dojos for chess players to compete, or the shops selling chess tools and chess manuals, even the level realm is marked clearly.
Chess nine-dan nine-grade system.
If alchemy is also divided according to this, how should it be?
"Fellow Daoist Luo, would you like to go to the side of the Shi River to see this chess world grand event?" Fu Chaosheng suggested.
Luo Chen shook his head, "Luo is not interested in these things, it is better to go to the Heaven and Earth Peak as soon as possible to implement the matter of my Star Gate guest!"
"That's right, business is important!"
The two, one old and one young, went against the crowd and walked out of the city quickly.
Wherever they passed, no matter how crowded the crowd was, they would subconsciously give way to a path for them.
Not long after, the two stood by a rolling eastward river.
The axe handle is rotten, and the passerby is like this.
Above the Shi River is the core mountain gate of the Tianyuan Dao Sect, the Lankeshan Mountain Range.
And by the side of the Shi River is that isolated peak that connects heaven and earth, the Heaven and Earth Peak!
Luo Chen looked across the river from afar, and under that steep peak, he only felt that he was so small, like a mayfly between heaven and earth, or like a grain of sand in the Ganges.
This feeling, since achieving Nascent Soul, has not been felt for a long time.
But in his memory, there is clearly a similar illusion.
Where is it?
Fu Chaosheng's words sounded in his ears.
"My sect treats outsiders very generously. This Heaven and Earth Peak is actually one of the few fifth-order spirit lands in the world. The Star Gate is set up on it, which also means that you guest offerings who join the Star Gate can enjoy the abundant spiritual energy environment at any time. Even if you cultivate to the Soul Transformation realm in the future, the Heaven and Earth Peak can still be a cultivation cave mansion!"
That's right, fifth-order spirit land.
The holy land of the Feather Clan in the Eastern Wasteland, Cangwu Mountain!
There, it is also a spirit land containing a fifth-order spirit vein.
This Heaven and Earth Peak is not inferior to Cangwu Mountain at all.
While Luo Chen felt awe, he also had a few more points of favor for the Tianyuan Dao Sect. There are few such generous acts in the world, even fifth-order spirit lands are taken out to supply foreign cultivators.
"Let's go, let's go up the mountain to implement your Star Gate guest matter. You don't have to worry, with my recommendation, there will generally be no problems. At that time, when the Seven Elders of the Star Gate ask you about the situation, you answer according to the rhetoric I taught you."
The Seven Elders of the Star Gate refer to the seven representatives sent from the nineteen Elders who are responsible for the review when newcomers join the Star Gate.
Under normal circumstances, it is the fifth Elder of the Star Gate guest, one from the family, and the last one sent by the twelve giant houses.
And the power of final decision is often in the hands of the Elder representative sent by the twelve giant houses.
Luo Chen didn't hesitate, his Nascent Soul trembled, hooking the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, turning into a dim spiritual light to wrap him, flying towards the Heaven and Earth Peak like an arrow from a string.
Fu Chaosheng followed on the side.
Although the two moved fast, in the eyes of others, it was like mayflies rushing towards a high mountain, so small.
But everyone knows that only Nascent Soul True Persons can fly freely on the Heaven and Earth Peak.
This, in fact, can also be considered a form of invisible assessment.
Without the Nascent Soul domain, it is impossible to resist the huge spiritual pressure naturally emitted by this fifth-order spirit mountain.
Swish! Swish!
Two escape lights landed on a huge square paved with white jade and surrounded by clouds and mist.
As soon as they landed, a domineering spiritual sense swept over, especially falling on Luo Chen, this strange cultivator.
Fu Chaosheng's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed.
"Fu family's current family head Fu Chaosheng, recommends the North Sea Wild Loose Practitioner to join the Star Gate, the relevant situation has been reported in advance."
As soon as these words came out, the domineering posture of that spiritual sense became a bit softer, but it still shrouded Luo Chen.
A rough, old voice echoed around the two.
"Go to the Welcoming Immortal Hall and wait, three days later, the Seven Elders will decide on the matter of the Wild Loose Practitioner joining the Star Gate."
Hearing this, Fu Chaosheng breathed a sigh of relief, gave Luo Chen a wink, and left this square first.
Before leaving, Luo Chen looked curiously into the depths of the clouds and mist.
There, there is a gate.
The starlight on it is bright, as if leading to the unknown.
Is this the Star Gate?
Shi River, waves rolling.
By the river, the crowd is like weaving.
Five chessboards are placed there, with five people sitting quietly.
An arrogant middle-aged man, while drinking and walking among the five, would drink a big mouthful of wine every time, and then drop a piece generously.
He looked free and easy, but the five people were restless.
Outside the field, countless onlookers had a sickly rosy face.
No one expected that this battle by the Shi River would be faster than the battle in the Celebrity Hall.
In just three days, Tianyuan Linxian forced the Five Heroes of Shangjun to the limit. At this moment, it has reached the closing stage, and Linxian's winning momentum has been completely revealed.
In the crowd, Fu Qinglan's little face was flushed, the coldness of the past was gone, and she was even more excited.
Yu Xu didn't understand, clearly Tianyuan Linxian and celebrity Dao Yin were equally famous, but the latter took a month to defeat the Seven Sons of Muyuan, but the former only took three days to establish the winning momentum.
Could it be that there is a huge gap between the two?
Fu Qinglan explained in a low voice: "This is a different chess style. Dao Yin senior brother is in the fourth grade of nine-dan, and has entered the realm of Tongyou. He is good at responding to changes, and is good at responding to moves, so it took a long time. Linxian senior brother is also in the fourth grade of nine-dan, but his style is more domineering, and he likes the fighting method of the small seventh grade. He will fight when he moves, and fight against the enemy, so once there is a slight gap in chess power, it will be magnified to the limit, causing an avalanche and flood trend..."
Yu Xu listened in a daze, with a blank face.
After Fu Qinglan finished speaking, she just spread her hands.
"As expected of the pride of the giant house Tan family!"
Celebrity Dao Yin comes from the Gu family of the twelve giant houses.
Tianyuan Linxian comes from the Tan family, also one of the twelve giant houses.
Fu Qinglan was helpless, her favorite thing, but she couldn't talk to others.
"Go!"
Yu Xu didn't understand, "Don't you watch the closing stage?"
Fu Qinglan shook her head, "Under that majestic chess style, it is open and closed, we can't see the fine mysteries at all, and we can't keep up here."
When she said this, she pointed to her brain.
Indeed, high-dan high-grade chess players, every step of the chess considers thousands of moves, and in a short time, they can't figure it out with their chess attainments.
Speaking of this, Fu Qinglan also felt sad for the Five Heroes of Shangjun.
They chose the wrong person to challenge Tan Linxian senior brother, and it was fine to be killed and lose their armor, but the time was too short to learn anything.
It's not as good as the Seven Sons of Muyuan, who can slowly learn some graded techniques in the battle against Gu Celebrity Dao Yin senior brother in the Celebrity Hall.
It is said that among the Seven Sons, three of them went into seclusion after the battle in the Celebrity Hall, and it is very likely that they will enter the third realm of the small seventh grade after leaving seclusion.
The two squeezed out of the crowd, Yu Xu stretched, feeling a bit bored.
"Before we enter the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, we can't practice, it's really hard to endure."
Fu Qinglan's fanatical color faded, and she smiled: "Visiting mountains and friends, tasting tea and playing chess, can't it also pass the time?"
Yu Xu sighed, she couldn't stay idle.
"The clan elder said that we newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators have thin Purple Mansion barriers, and the Nascent Soul is also close to heaven and earth. This state is most suitable for perceiving the laws of heaven and earth in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven. But if the cave heaven is not opened for one day, we cannot practice for one day, it is too wasteful of time."
Fu Qinglan nodded.
Once practicing, it will subconsciously deepen the Purple Mansion barrier and cut off the assimilation of heaven and earth.
So, there is this limit of newly promoted Nascent Soul within a hundred years.
However, in her opinion, compared to perceiving the true meaning of laws and reaching the opportunity of future Soul Transformation, this little time can still be wasted.
Sharpening the knife does not delay the woodcutter!
Just when the two were talking, someone poked their head in the crowd and ran towards the two.
"Eh, it's Seventh Uncle." Fu Qinglan recognized the person.
Although the cultivation level is only in the middle Jin Dan stage, he is her family elder.
The middle-aged man saw Fu Qinglan and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The family head has reached the Heaven and Earth Peak, and that one has also come, Qinglan, you should follow me for a trip!"
Fu Qinglan's eyes lit up.
Beside her, Yu Xu wanted to go together, but with Fu Chaosheng's intention, she couldn't go together.
"Sorry Little Xu, after I see that person, I will introduce you to know." Fu Qinglan said apologetically.
Yu Xu nodded, but didn't force it.
However, after the two left, her eyes turned, and she flew quickly in another direction.
Fu Qinglan couldn't wait.
Even if the mood is very contradictory, she also wants to see that Wild Loose Practitioner quickly.
But when she arrived at the Welcoming Immortal Hall, she didn't see anyone.
The cultivators in the hall told her that the other party had just left and was accepting the assessment of the Seven Elders of the Star Gate.
Fu Qinglan spat out a breath of depression, "I have waited for a long time, and I am not in a hurry for this moment."
Luo Chen finally crossed that Star Gate.
Alone, he came to a space filled with countless starlight.
Seven phantom figures, from the moment he stepped in, slowly emerged.
The moment seven pairs of eyes cast on him, Luo Chen felt like he was on his back, and his whole body felt cold.
Each one, their cultivation level is higher than his!
Each one, has the pressure that Moon Loose Practitioner brought to him at the beginning!
And among the seven, the slender figure, the one he dared not look directly at the most, made him feel close subconsciously.
"Eh, actually an alchemist?"
The pleasant and gentle voice sounded softly, causing surprise to others, and also swept away the pressure that the other six people brought to Luo Chen.
Until this time, Luo Chen could raise his head and look directly at the seven phantom figures.
He took a deep breath and reported his family name.
"North Sea loose cultivator Luo Chen, met the seven Elders."
Loose cultivator?
Even if they had already known the other party's origin through the information handed in by the Fu family, when they saw his appearance and the surging vitality, the seven Star Gate Elders were still amazed in their hearts.
As a loose cultivator, he could condense Nascent Soul so quickly, he is truly a cultivation genius!
Just at this time, the woman who spoke earlier spoke again regardless of others.
"Can you refine fifth-order pills?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and Luo Chen trembled in his heart.
"Elder is joking, although Luo is slightly proficient in alchemy, how can I refine fifth-order pills in the Nascent Soul stage?"
The woman's tone was extremely regretful.
"It's a pity, before leaving, there is no fellow daoist to see off."
Leaving?
Luo Chen moved in his heart and asked carefully: "I don't know the Elder's name?"
"Bold..."
Someone scolded.
The woman smiled lightly, "No problem, telling you my name doesn't matter. My name is Chu Yan, and the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm respect me as the Alchemy Saint." ===== CHAPTER 691 =====
