Chapter 731: Holy Land message, Baili Qingchuan

~16 min read 3,083 words

In Lingtian Pass.

Old Ghost Motian and True Person Shenhuo had a big quarrel and finally parted on bad terms.

As the grand-disciple most favored by True Person Shenhuo, Ran Feng asked curiously: "Grandmaster, why not make things difficult for Luo Chen?"

His realm had reached Core Formation, and he had been dealing with the Luo Tian Sect all year round in his early years, so he knew a lot of secrets.

Regarding the Supreme Elder of the Divine Sect's covetousness for Luo Chen, he knew the inside story.

Logically speaking, this was a good opportunity.

With the power of two major sects, make things difficult for Luo Chen, ask City Lord Lingtian to punish Luo Chen, and then they could take the opportunity...

"What is the point of making things difficult?" True Person Shenhuo looked at the direction Old Ghost Motian left, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked casually.

"Uh..." Ran Feng couldn't say why.

True Person Shenhuo said again: "Not to mention whether City Lord Lingtian will punish Luo Chen, just his current status as a Nascent Soul True Person determines that the punishment will not be too heavy. At most, he will be fined some spirit stones or do some bitter work; such punishment is useless to us. And..."

He paused and said fiercely: "The Supreme Elder wants a complete Luo Chen; rather than alerting the enemy, it is better to tell the Supreme Elder this news, and he will handle it himself."

Ran Feng suddenly realized, revealing the look of the Old Ancestor being wise.

True Person Shenhuo smiled reluctantly, but in his heart, he was weighing the gains and losses.

Yin Sixiang died, and he would definitely be held accountable, but at this critical juncture, the sect would not do anything to a Nascent Soul combat power.

Especially since he also brought back Luo Chen's news, the Supreme Elder might even reward him.

"Realm, approximately between the second... third layer of Nascent Soul?"

True Person Shenhuo was a bit uncertain; the realm Luo Chen displayed during the battle fluctuated high and low, making him unable to grasp it.

But no matter what, at most it was only a Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator.

The only thing that made people wary was probably that white flame of his.

Refining Old Ghost Motian's life-bound True Treasure in an instant was truly powerful and bizarre.

This intelligence must also be reported.

"The Great Palace Master of Fenghua Palace might be his potential ally, and that City Lord Lingtian..."

Flowing with his judgment on Luo Chen, thinking of City Lord Lingtian's attitude toward Luo Chen, True Person Shenhuo hesitated.

It was truly too friendly!

Although it has always been rumored that this person is keen on making friends, that is also for those whose background is relatively known.

Luo Chen, who suddenly popped out, what is his temperament, what is his style of doing things, what are his extraordinary points, all are still unknown; why did City Lord Lingtian favor him so much?

It was precisely because of City Lord Lingtian's attitude that True Person Shenhuo chose to endure and not make a move at the City Lord's Mansion earlier.

"Could it be that he is not curious about how Luo Chen escaped from Cangwu Mountain back then?"

Inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Ye Lingtian had a thick stack of bamboo slips in front of him, burying his head in them.

These bamboo slips were not old, but instead emitted a quiet bamboo fragrance and ink fragrance, as if they had just been made.

And the content recorded on them was also slightly messy.

"Luo Chen, age two hundred and thirty-one, from the Dahe Workshop of the Yuding Domain of the Eastern Wasteland, rose in the Tianlan Xiancheng of the Yuding Domain..."

"Possesses five spirit roots, aptitude is extremely poor, and has no sect teaching or family reliance."

"During the Qi Refining stage, he showed extraordinary alchemy talent, and among rogue cultivators, he won the Daoist title of Alchemist Danchenzi."

Seeing this, City Lord Lingtian paused slightly.

During the Qi Refining stage, he already had a Daoist title?

"Interesting!"

He continued to flip through the bamboo slips, from Luo Chen's Qi Refining stage to Foundation Establishment stage, and then to Core Formation stage.

The location also went from the unknown Dahe Workshop to Tianlan Xiancheng, step by step, until the opening war of the Luo Yun Sect.

The battle of the Great Snow Mountain announced the failure of the opening war.

The battle of Cangwu Mountain opened a new round of comprehensive war between the human and demon races in the Eastern Wasteland after the ancient times.

War.

At this point, the intelligence regarding Luo Chen was interrupted.

City Lord Lingtian picked up another bamboo slip, which was also a relatively old one among the many brand-new bamboo slips.

"It was written by Junior Brother Chongming himself after returning from the Central Plains!"

Recognizing the handwriting, City Lord Lingtian's expression was slightly serious.

Spreading out the bamboo slip, the content recorded on it was still related to Luo Chen, but unlike the rogue cultivator struggling in the mud before, Luo Chen at this time was already completely different.

Wild Rogue!

Achieved Dao in the North Sea, famous in the Central Plains.

In the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven competition, with his own strength, he turned the tide and pushed Fu Qinglan, whose aptitude was originally not outstanding, to the top of the competition.

The situation of the Cave Heaven battle is unknown, but only one point needs to be noted: Luo Chen is favored by the Alchemy Saint Chu Yanyan!

At the time of the Alchemy Saint's ascension, she bestowed a Heaven-Machine Pill!

It was precisely because of this that Chongming noticed this person and spent effort to let the Mingyuan Sect collect intelligence related to him.

"Why would Zhou Shijie Chu favor him?"

City Lord Lingtian's movements stopped, and he fell into deep thought.

Perhaps some people will feel strange that he calls Chongming Junior Brother, Chongming calls Alchemy Saint Chu Yanyan Senior Uncle, but he and Chu Yanyan are Zhou Shijie and Junior Brother.

This generation is messed up.

But in fact, it is not messed up; Chongming is a genius of the new generation of the Mingyuan Sect, and he is not of the same era as Alchemy Saint Chu Yanyan and Ye Lingtian.

Therefore, even if he achieved the Nascent Soul stage and even represented the Mingyuan Sect as an envoy to the Tianyuan Dao Sect, he still respectfully called Chu Yanyan Senior Uncle.

And he still continued the address from when they were in the same sect back then.

City Lord Lingtian thought for a long time. "Could it be because of Luo Chen's unique alchemy talent that Chu Yanyan Zhou Shijie favored him?"

"It should be so!"

"Luo Chen's aptitude is not good, but his cultivation has never stopped, and his realm has advanced by leaps and bounds, achieving Core Formation in just a hundred years, no less than a Heaven Spirit Root cultivator. In the case of no sect teaching, the only explanation is that he took a shortcut in alchemy."

"In his hundred-year journey in the North Sea, he jumped from the early stage of Core Formation to become a Nascent Soul True Person! Such progress, perhaps there are adventures, but it cannot be separated from the help of alchemy."

Sure enough!

When Ye Lingtian opened the last bamboo slip, it confirmed his idea.

"Star Gate Guest Luo Chen, can take out Fourth-Rank middle-grade cultivation pills at will, suspected of being able to refine Fourth-Rank high-grade pills."

"Suspected to be a Grandmaster of Alchemy!"

Before he could be happy for his guess, Ye Lingtian took out a jade slip from his storage bag.

"Pay attention to Luo Chen; this child is related to the old events of Cangwu Mountain. But do not use force, treat him with courtesy!"

Simple two sentences, but they contain great divine sense, making people subconsciously want to submit.

Clearly, the person who left this jade slip is a Soul Transformation Great Power!

It is precisely because of this jade slip that City Lord Lingtian was so enthusiastic about Luo Chen.

And this jade slip was sent to City Lord Lingtian's hands one step ahead of Luo Chen before he returned.

Rubbing the smooth jade slip, City Lord Lingtian frowned.

"Since the Old Ancestor is so concerned about Luo Chen, why not just catch him back to the Mingyuan Sect for interrogation?"

"Cherishing talent, fancying his alchemy attainments, wanting to cultivate the next Alchemy Saint for the Mingyuan Sect?"

"Then shouldn't the action be faster?"

"Is it because the Old Ancestor can't spare his hands, or because of the identity of the Star Gate Guest?"

After some thinking, City Lord Lingtian couldn't figure it out.

After organizing all the bamboo slips, he suddenly laughed.

"Why worry about these; dealing with such an interesting person is always better than these dead and silent peers in the Eastern Wasteland!"

Unlike many small forces in Lingtian Pass that have no home to return to, the Luo Tian Sect also has a separate residence.

That is a place specially arranged for the Luo Tian Sect by Fenghua Palace.

Not big, but not small.

A hundred miles of territory, with mountains and water, and even exotic flowers and herbs.

Of course, this arrangement is not free; the "Baili Qingchuan" spirit land is planted with mostly spiritual herbs. The task of the Luo Tian Sect living here is to help Fenghua Palace manage these spiritual herbs and hand them over regularly.

The Luo Tian Sect has this ability; after all, it started by refining alchemy and planting herbs in its early years.

On the cloud chariot, Qu Lingjun knelt in front of Luo Chen, his head on the ground, silent for a long time.

After listening to him tell the general situation, Luo Chen also fell into silence.

After a long while, he said leisurely: "So, after I left, you abandoned your wife and children, betrayed the sect, and went to join others?"

Sentence after sentence, as if they were heart-piercing words, entered the man's heart and lungs.

Qu Lingjun trembled all over, and bowed his head heavily.

"All are facts; Lingjun is unfilial, disgraced the Luo Tian, and I ask Master to grant me death!"

Gu Caiyi, who was standing by, hurriedly opened her mouth: "Husband, you cannot!"

Luo Chen looked over.

Gu Caiyi sighed. "This matter cannot be blamed on Lingjun. Back then, on the road of the Luo Tian Sect's escape, the hearts of the people were scattered. It happened that the Fairy of Wind and Moon of Fenghua Palace passed by with people. She proposed to take Lingjun away. Although Lingjun insisted on following the Fairy of Wind and Moon at that time, we only found out later that he just wanted to plan a way out for us."

"Over these years, Lingjun has secretly funded the Luo Tian Sect with a large amount of cultivation resources, especially in terms of pills. The reason my Luo Tian Sect has been able to produce talents one after another under a hundred years of hardship, Lingjun has made a great contribution."

"Especially, he really planned this spirit land of Baili Qingchuan for us, so that we don't have to live under others."

Although they are under the control of the Nascent Soul major sect, it is different from when they were in the Five Elements Domain; at least in the Fenghua Domain, the Luo Tian Sect is self-reliant and has a certain independence.

Even if they wander again in the future, they won't end up in the passive situation of being held hostage by the Five Elements Divine Sect.

Facing Gu Caiyi's intercession, Luo Chen looked at Qu Lingjun again.

"What your Zhou Shijie said, is it true?"

Qu Lingjun choked. "True. But Lingjun messed up the hearts of the sect members, caused many people to privately criticize, and even flee the Luo Tian Sect, which is also a fact. Master..."

"Your affairs, we will talk about them later!"

Luo Chen waved his hand, and Qu Lingjun was supported to stand up by a magic power.

Then, Luo Chen got up and walked out.

"Baili Qingchuan, we have arrived."

The Luo Tian Sect does not have the ability of the Mingyuan Sect to communicate over ultra-long distances, so Luo Chen's return was still unknown to those who stayed behind in the mountain gate.

This day.

Above Baili Qingchuan, a gorgeous cloud chariot rushed from the distance.

Upon reaching the sect territory, the speed slowed down.

Low-level cultivators who were busy in the medicine fields couldn't help but raise their heads, looking curiously at the cloud chariot flying slowly.

Three elements and three splendors, cloud patterns everywhere.

Cyan, black, and white long sails were on one side, and purple, gold, and red long sails were on the other side, contrasting with each other.

On the top of the chariot, wish-beads were everywhere, and flowing tassels hung down in strands, and a noble five-colored canopy towered high.

Around the wide chariot, it was also paved with white jade, and the golden light was brilliant.

Even the six wheels below were quite extraordinary, with eighteen spokes crisscrossing, all stained with gold powder.

Even when flying, three dragon shadows rode the clouds and mist, making it even more majestic.

"Whose big shot's carriage is this, so gorgeous?"

"Fenghua Palace cultivators like luxury; could it be someone from the major sect?"

"It could also be from the Five Elements Divine Sect!"

"The fourth day of the Ten Decisive Duels is almost over; coming now, could it be to announce the result?"

When the last guess appeared, everyone's hearts were lifted.

Those with fierce tempers even took out their magic tools, ready for battle.

Just at this moment, a person flew out of the cloud chariot, rushing toward the only green mountain in Baili Qingchuan like an arrow from a bow.

Someone crossed paths with him.

"Yilong, what happened?"

Ceng Yilong's speed didn't decrease at all, just replied: "Senior Uncle Li, the Supreme Elder has returned!"

The middle-aged cultivator was stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.

But soon, he revealed a look of wild joy, not caring about the emptiness of his magic power, and rushed toward the cloud chariot.

Arriving in front, he hesitated slightly.

Fu Jiusheng, who was on the outside, smiled at him, just about to say something, when he heard a gentle laugh.

"Is it Yingzhang?"

Familiar voice!

Li Yingzhang subconsciously swallowed his saliva, then tidied his clothes and boarded the cloud chariot.

"Li Yingzhang, respectfully welcomes the Supreme Elder back!"

*Dong! *

*Dong! *

*Dong! *

The sky was bright, and the bell rang.

Outside a cave dwelling on the Great Qingshan.

A woman with a flushed face, excited, patted the cave dwelling door.

"Master, he has returned!"

Inside the cave dwelling, a woman wearing a veil suddenly opened her eyes.

The whole person rushed to the door like a shooting star.

But just as she was about to open the cave dwelling, her footsteps couldn't help but stop.

"Really?"

"It must be true; Ceng Yilong told me personally, and he even rang the big bell. Now all the sect members have been summoned, preparing to welcome him. Master, you..."

"Mingyue, you go first! I won't go."

"Uh... Master, you are his Dao companion; how can you not go?"

The woman raised her hand, her arms covered in black gauze, then subconsciously touched her cheeks covered by the veil, and shook her head sadly.

"It's not convenient; you go first. You are the Sect Master of the Luo Tian Sect now, you must be there, don't miss the time."

Yao Mingyue was puzzled, but

Yao Mingyue was puzzled, but listening to the increasingly urgent bell tolls in her ears, she ultimately left.

After she left, the woman sighed faintly and muttered:

"It is good that you have returned, it is good that you have returned."

Under the sound of those bells, one figure after another gathered like a flowing river, converging from all directions of Baili Qingchuan.

Yao Mingyue put on her most solemn attire and stood before the crowd.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of three hundred sect members, she bowed to welcome them.

"Yao Mingyue, respectfully welcomes the return of the Supreme Elder!"

Once these words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar.

Just at this moment, a monstrous pressure slowly spread out.

It was majestic yet not sharp, grand yet incomparably gentle.

It felt like heavenly might, yet even more like bathing in a spring breeze.

It was as if a kind elder was watching over them.

Everyone realized something; they stretched their necks, widened their eyes, and stared fixedly at the cloud chariot emitting brilliant light.

One cultivator after another walked out from it, lined up in two rows, and stood waiting with respectful etiquette.

Among those people were the highly respected Fu Jiusheng, Min Longyu who had turned gray-haired for the sect, and the battle-hardened Tian Kui Zi, Chu Kui.

The rising star Yang Ping was also standing among them.

Li Yingzhang, who had recently become famous, also didn't know when he had boarded the cloud chariot, standing respectfully to the side.

Subsequently, they saw a man with a tall, straight figure, like a drawn sword, walk out slowly.

No one noticed Gu Caiyi and Qu Lingjun standing on either side of him; everyone's focus was placed on that pair of eyes that seemed to revolve like the sun, moon, and stars.

Portraits of Luo Chen had always been enshrined in the Ancestor Hall.

Every person who entered the sect remembered that face.

Even though a hundred years had passed, it was still engraved in their hearts.

It is him!

It is indeed him!

Yao Mingyue spoke again.

"All cultivators of Luo Tian, respectfully welcome the return of the Supreme Elder!"

This time,

Everyone responded in unison; even the voices of a hundred people sounded like rolling thunder.

Luo Chen looked at this scene and nodded slightly.

With just one sentence, "I have returned," the shouting ceased.

In his heart, however, he felt quite emotional; the Luo Tian Sect, which once had thousands of members at its peak, now only had these three hundred disciples left.

His departure was indeed not at the right time!

Suddenly.

His gaze froze.

"Where is Hui Niang?"
