Chapter 737: Convincing People with Reason, Pressuring People with Momentum

Banquet begins, dishes served.

There were also female cultivators invited from Lingtian Pass to perform light singing and dancing, beating drums and blowing flutes.

In the endless crowd, two figures went against the current and sat next to Luo Chen.

Facing the curious gazes of the crowd, Luo Chen introduced them simply: "These are my two partners, President Sima Hui Niang, Gu Caiyi!"

The Nascent Soul True Persons swept their gazes over the two women, nodding in acknowledgment, and remembered their faces and auras.

In the future, if they met, they would more or less give Luo Chen some face; not to mention treating them with courtesy, at least they wouldn't make things difficult for them.

Because of these friendly glances, the tense bodies under the two women's dresses also relaxed.

The two women sat behind Luo Chen, watching this man drinking and chatting happily in front of the crowd, occasionally looking at each other, finding joy and happiness in each other's eyes.

Once, they sought Foundation Establishment but couldn't obtain it.

Now, they had established the Dao foundation, formed the Core, and could even sit calmly in front of a group of Nascent Soul True Persons.

This was a dreamlike scene they had never thought of!

And all of this was bestowed by the man in front of them.

While their hearts were surging, the dancing in the hall had long since stopped, with only the sound of zithers and flutes accompanying them, and the idle chatter of the Nascent Soul True Persons.

"North Sea?"

"Yes, it is the North Sea. The customs there are very different from our Eastern Wasteland, especially the abundant resources; even among loose cultivators, there are those who achieve the Nascent Soul Great Dao!"

"I have heard in the classics that the North Sea resources are abundant, but I didn't expect them to be so abundant that even loose cultivators could achieve the Nascent Soul stage."

"More than just Nascent Soul! Like the Three Loose Immortals, all are existences capable of contending with Nascent Soul late-stage Great Cultivators. Overseas powerhouses are truly as numerous as stars, countless!"

"Three Loose Immortals? Could it be that one of them is called the Blood Loose Immortal?"

"Does Nine Spirits True Monarch know this person?"

"When I was young, I traveled in the Western Desert and indeed saw this person. At that time, he was being hunted by the Western Desert Buddhism, and he was in a sorry state. However, no matter how sorry he was, he lived safely; I took the opportunity to test him, and we were evenly matched. This person is indeed a hero of a generation, not inferior to us sect cultivators."

"True Person Luo, you broke through to the Nascent Soul stage in a hundred years; I think you must be quite famous in the North Sea, right?"

"I have a bit of a thin name, but compared to the great war in the North Sea now, it is not worth mentioning."

"Great war in the North Sea..."

Luo Chen started a topic and told everyone about the past in the North Sea.

It had to be said that exotic customs were truly captivating.

Under his vivid narration, the atmosphere in the hall was quite high.

Especially when hearing about the details of the destruction of the Demon Sect and the four new hegemons of the North Sea, everyone was a bit restless.

However, after the City Lord of Lingtian City swept his eyes over them with a smiling expression, no one had such redundant thoughts.

The destruction of the Yuanmo Sect was due to insufficient strength, and they deserved to fall into such a plight.

Their Mingyuan Sect was not that weak, to be struck at the door and wiped out by the demon race; saying it out loud would be a disgrace.

Suddenly.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, you said that after you escaped from Cangwu Mountain, you went to the North Sea?"

It was Lin Qingxuan, a former friend, now a pressing pursuer.

Luo Chen smiled slightly; since he had brought up the North Sea topic, he naturally had preparations.

Taking this opportunity, he told some of the past events, half-true and half-false, to avoid people always speculating about him.

He did not deny it, nodding.

"Yes!"

Lin Qingxuan shook his head violently, "Impossible, so many Nascent Soul True Persons, so many Core Formation powerhouses didn't escape, how could you escape alive?"

Luo Chen's expression was calm, "I don't know if they could escape, but how can you assume I couldn't? You weren't at the scene, how would you know the details?"

Lin Qingxuan was stunned, then looked at the two people from the Five Elements God Sect who came today.

Shenhuo immediately took over the conversation.

"Back then, in order to rescue the trapped cultivators, the Mingyuan Sect organized three Great Cultivators to kill their way into Cangwu Mountain. In the final battle, the Mingyuan Great Power personally took action, forcing Cangwu Mountain to escape into the Blue Void."

"In that battle, Tianji Huiping and the Hehuan Old Ancestor died tragically, and the ancestor of my God Sect was also seriously injured."

"In such a dangerous situation, you were only at the Core Formation stage at that time, how could you survive?"

A series of words, both urgent and slow, contained inside stories that shocked everyone present.

The Battle of Cangwu was known to the world, but few knew the inside details.

Tianji Huiping and the Hehuan Old Ancestor were both peerless powerhouses who had been famous for hundreds of years.

What kind of attack did they encounter to have their Nascent Souls unable to escape and perish directly?

And what kind of means did a fifth-tier Holy Land rely on to escape into the Blue Void?

At this moment, True Person Shenhuo spoke casually, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen, who was only at the Core Formation stage at that time, actually survived?

What did this imply?

The golden-robed man beside True Person Shenhuo said gloomily: "Could it be that you are a..."

"Could it be that you all don't understand the method of void shifting?"

A light laugh, mixed with mockery.

Luo Chen glanced at the golden-robed man, and amidst the crowd's confusion, an object appeared in his hand.

He threw it casually, and the object, which was full of cracks and in the style of a Luo Pan, flew in front of the City Lord of Lingtian City first.

"Inside Cangwu, there is a peerless shifting array, with which one can travel to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening, crossing the nine heavens into the Blue Void."

"But this array is heavy, and unless it is a last resort, the demon cultivators of Cangwu Mountain would not easily activate it; back then, they were truly forced by the seniors of the Mingyuan Sect."

"And this gave Luo a perfect chance to escape."

"Taking advantage of the void shifting, I activated the shifting array I made... but unfortunately, at that time, my realm was low and I couldn't control the direction and distance, and was finally thrown to the North Sea cultivation world."

He couldn't shake out the matter of holding the Blue Luan feather and taking the teleportation array, otherwise, others would only ask why you possessed the Blue Luan feather? Whether you had already surrendered to the demon race, and thus gained trust.

And the shifting method he mastered after advancing in array techniques became a new reason.

And mixing this reason into that matter back then was also justifiable.

He was indeed teleported away, and his teleportation direction was indeed changed because Cangwu Mountain escaped into the Blue Void; otherwise, according to Han Zhan's original plan, they should have been teleported directly back to the Great Snow Mountain.

This was the half-true and half-false statement, which was the easiest to fool people.

Luo Chen observed the City Lord of Lingtian City's reaction while speaking.

The other party examined the Luo Pan with interest, but didn't have any big reaction.

Just looked at it for a while, then threw it to others.

Talisman Elder took it, somewhat suspicious: "This array disc, a bit new?"

Luo Chen admitted, "It is indeed a bit new, the old array disc was long destroyed. This object was made by Luo in the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect in the Central Plains, and has been used several times."

That Luo Pan was the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Great Shifting Array Disc that Luo Chen made in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

As for the "several times," it was quite exaggerated.

But in the eyes of the crowd who observed it one after another, such an array disc could shift several times, which was already of excellent quality!

If Luo Chen had a similar treasure back then, taking advantage of the peerless array shifting of Cangwu Mountain, and echoing it, there was indeed a few points of hope to escape alive.

But, only a few points!

Jin Ling did not take the Luo Pan handed to him, looking at Luo Chen coldly.

"If we talk about arrays, the imprisoned Tian Yezi back then was far superior to you!"

Luo Chen looked at him with a fake smile, "The importance attached to Nascent Soul cultivators is not something we can compare to. Tian Yezi's physical body was destroyed, his Nascent Soul was imprisoned, and he is not even as good as a Qi Refining little cultivator."

"Then what about Haoranzi and Wei Wuya who were trapped in Cangwu together back then, don't they also understand arrays, don't they compare to you?"

"Yes, they don't compare to me!"

"You!"

Luo Chen was full of confidence, "Otherwise, how could I achieve the Nascent Soul? How could I be on par with you all?"

Half-true and half-false words are indeed easy to trust, but whether others believe it or not depends on personal subjective emotions.

Clearly, these two from the Five Elements God Sect had never trusted Luo Chen from the bottom of their hearts!

Since that was the case...

Cannot convince people with reason, then pressure people with momentum!

An aura slowly spread from Luo Chen's body.

Like an abyss, like a prison, domineering and peerless!

President Sima Hui Niang and Gu Caiyi, who were behind him, had shocked expressions, their hair fluttering, only feeling as if there was an ancient volcano in front of them, about to erupt.

The powerful pressure almost made them suffocate.

However, with a movement of Luo Chen's mind, that oppressive feeling disappeared without a trace.

Having gained a breather, the two women looked at each other, their expressions shaken.

Just a little aftermath made it hard for them to breathe, then what kind of pressure would the enemy mainly targeted by this coercion bear?

Nascent Soul Domain!

Almost the moment that aura rose, everyone present realized Luo Chen's means.

In just an instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on the two from the God Sect.

Luo Chen's provocation should have a response.

But he was just a newly promoted Nascent Soul; True Person Shenhuo responding once or twice was still appropriate.

"Hmph!"

Only a cold snort was heard, and golden light seemed to appear in the hall.

"Just right, let the old man test your weight!"

Before the words fell, another aura no less than Luo Chen's soared into the sky.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to gather frantically, condensing into a sky full of golden light above the golden-robed man's head.

It was Jin Ling!

The First Palace Master of Fenghua Palace's expression changed slightly; domain collision was the purest and most direct comparison of cultivation, not involving divine abilities, magic spells, or true treasures, second only to the comparison of spiritual sense between cultivators.

This kind of pure means of displaying one's own magic power, she originally didn't worry about Luo Chen.

Back then, since the other party could suppress the Motian old ghost, she thought True Person Shenhuo wouldn't pose any threat to him.

But no one expected that the one who took action would actually be Jin Ling!

As the head of the Five Peaks Elders of the Five Elements God Sect, Jin Ling had the highest realm, reaching the fifth level of Nascent Soul!

His strength was also the first person in the Five Elements God Sect below the Supreme Elder.

Placed here, except for the City Lord of Lingtian City, almost no one dared to say they could steadily win against Jin Ling.

Even she and Nine Spirits True Monarch were only on par with Jin Ling in realm.

The combat strength of the Wanjian Pavilion Master might be very strong, but his realm was slightly inferior.

It could be said that without the Great Cultivators coming out, Jin Ling was already a powerhouse in the first echelon.

Such an existence, how could it be comparable to a newly promoted Nascent Soul like Luo Chen?

"Fellow Daoist, you are a bit excessive." She said coldly.

True Person Xianhe on the side also said unkindly: "Is the Five Elements God Sect always so domineering? Those who don't know would think you are strong from the Holy Land."

When saying this, True Person Xianhe secretly glanced at the City Lord of Lingtian City at the top.

But he saw the other party sitting calmly, looking at the two with interest, completely unmoved.

The City Lord of Lingtian City did not come out, which meant he acquiesced to the continuation of this "Dao discussion."

Having received the hint, Jin Ling showed a ferocious smile.

"Let me see what confidence you have to boast of being on par with us!"

The Nascent Soul domain, which had been compressed to the extreme, flew slowly towards Luo Chen at the movement of his mind.

This collision of domains was different from any Luo Chen had seen.

In the past, they were all pan-domain collisions, and everyone didn't deliberately compress the power of the domain, but tried to expand the range as quickly as possible. Eating each other, snatching the area covered by heaven and earth spiritual energy.

But this time because of the venue limitation, it was impossible to do so, so they pursued extreme collisions in a small range!

It was about the control over one's own magic power!

It was about the degree of surging magic power, the corresponding amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy that could be drawn!

What was compared was the fine detail in the square inch!

Looking at Jin Ling's ferocious face, a line of text from the 'Luo Tian Records' floated in Luo Chen's heart.

【Duan Feng and his wife, because they were good at identifying ores, were ordered by True Person Jin Ling to go to the Wuji Domain Two-Yi Tin Forest support battle, and perished there, leaving no offspring.】

"I haven't sought you for an explanation, yet you took the initiative to come to the door, just right!"

Luo Chen's eyes turned cold, and his Nascent Soul domain pressed towards Jin Ling.

The next moment, red clouds and golden light collided with each other, forming a spiritual energy storm in the great hall, sweeping in all directions.

The drums and zithers had long since stopped.

Only the vibration of tables and chairs, and the trembling of beams and pillars remained.

This movement was a bit big.

Seeing this, the City Lord of Lingtian City prepared to take action to preserve this venue.

It was Luo Chen's Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony after all; although he wanted to see what the other party relied on to suppress his peers in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, he didn't want to let outsiders see the side where the other party might make a fool of himself.

But just as he was about to take action, his eyes suddenly condensed, looking at the dome of the great hall, and then revealed a thoughtful look.

"Is it some treasure or array that covers this great hall? This Luo Chen, looking young, has a deep foundation, and means emerge one after another."

Extreme domain collision, erupting with difficult-to-describe magic power bombardment.

Jin Ling's realm was higher than Luo Chen's, but he found that the other party's magic power was surging and peerless, and the heaven and earth spiritual energy drawn was no less than his.

For a full few breaths, he didn't see him being suppressed.

Jin Ling gritted his teeth, and the magic power within the Nascent Soul surged again, and his whole person floated up for no reason.

Sitting cross-legged in the void, facing Luo Chen.

"You are ultimately inferior to me in realm!"

Just like that, the golden light domain aided by Nascent Soul magic power suddenly expanded, dazzling and blinding, impossible to look at directly!

Luo Chen's white-gold Dao robe fluttered, his black hair tied behind his back flew wildly, and amidst the red light, his whole person was almost burning.

In his vision, his domain was retreating steadily.

Facing this scene, Luo Chen grinned.

Realm inferiority was not the main reason; his magic power was even more surging than the other party's.

The domain couldn't suppress the other party, actually just because the realm was unstable, and the fine control over magic power was too poor.

But all of this was within expectations.

And he didn't make any movements, just drank softly.

"Melt!"

The next moment, the red clouds that were retreating steadily suddenly reversed and surged, surrounding the golden light.

Strands of domineering spiritual energy began to frantically expel the metal-attribute spiritual energy.

There was even a wisp of forest-white flame that suddenly appeared in the domain, as if hidden for a long time. That forest-white flame chased the body magic power released by Jin Ling, constantly eroding and erasing it.

Without magic power traction, the heaven and earth spiritual energy that was originally ownerless collapsed even faster.

Fire attribute naturally restrains metal attribute!

And the move of melting the void possessed powerful exclusivity.

Luo Chen's hidden move came out, and the situation in the hall changed suddenly.

The golden light broke inch by inch, and the red clouds gathered constantly, pressing towards Jin Ling.

Only heard a sound... Boom!

A dull sound was emitted heavily, and Jin Ling fell to the ground, unable to control himself and retreating backwards.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

When he stopped steadily, he suddenly looked back, his face full of anger.

"You don't talk about martial virtue, borrowing external force!"

Defeated!

Jin Ling, who had previously occupied the upper hand, was defeated in the blink of an eye!

Lin Qingxuan, who was only at the first level of Nascent Soul, didn't understand, and True Person Shenhuo had a look of astonishment.

Fairy Fenghua, in addition to disbelief, also had some thoughtfulness, as if she had glimpsed a few points of the essence of Luo Chen's means.

She raised her eyes to look at Nine Spirits True Monarch opposite, who was also like this, rubbing his chin, as if savoring Luo Chen's performance in the domain battle just now.

And above, the City Lord of Lingtian City tapped the rim of his wine cup, couldn't help but nod slightly.

This kind of ability was indeed enough to suppress the newly promoted Nascent Soul of the Holy Land. Even for the accumulated strong people of ordinary sects, Luo Chen was not inferior at all.

As for the others, they showed different expressions and different attitudes, watching the top.

Whoosh...

The sky full of red clouds dissipated, and Luo Chen sat calmly above.

Black hair stuck to his back, robe corners smooth.

The red-gold dragon pattern crown was still stable on top of his head.

He looked coldly at the embarrassed and angry Jin Ling, "What external force did I borrow?"

"That fire!" Jin Ling pointed at Luo Chen, his whole body trembling; losing to Luo Chen in front of everyone made him almost go crazy, "You actually hid a strange fire in the domain!"

Luo Chen's mouth twitched, and a wisp of forest-white flame appeared on his fingertip.

"You mean this?"

"Yes!"

"Haha, this is my own source true fire, does this also count as external force?"

As soon as these words came out, Jin Ling's expression stalled.

The rest of the crowd in the hall were full of curiosity.

Integrating source true fire into one's own Nascent Soul domain, this was a good idea!

But clearly, Luo Chen could defeat Jin Ling not just because of this small means; the domineering Nascent Soul domain that forcibly repelled other attribute heaven and earth spiritual energy was the main reason.

Plus the five elements restraining each other, Luo Chen's magic power was unexpectedly surging... this Jin Ling was not defeated unjustly!

Facing the sympathetic and pitying gazes of the crowd, Jin Ling almost vomited blood, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart.

"This is just a small path, we will see the truth in our hands another day!"

Leaving a harsh word, Jin Ling left directly.

After he left, everyone's eyes fell on the other person from the Five Elements God Sect.

True Person Shenhuo!

It should be said that for this Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony, Luo Chen only invited Shenhuo, and that Jin Ling came uninvited.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Shenhuo sat uneasily.

Luo Chen smiled, raised his wine cup, and faced the crowd.

"Continue the music, continue drinking!"

The drums and zithers started again, the wine cups were exchanged, as if nothing had happened before, but many things had already happened. ===== CHAPTER 738 =====
