Chapter 750

Within the Luo Tian Sect, things began to get busy due to the need to carry out patrol missions.

Under Li Yingzhang's command, one cultivator after another was selected to join the team.

In the past, when encountering such a situation, most people felt anxious because no one knew if they would be able to return. The Luo Tian Sect previously had no Nascent Soul powerhouses and couldn't speak in the upper echelons of the human race; once they encountered war, they were often sent to the most dangerous places.

The Luo Tian Sect, which once had nearly ten thousand disciples, was reduced to only a few hundred people because of mission after mission.

But this time, everyone was much more stable, at least they didn't look so panicked on their faces.

As for the reason...

"This time going to Lingtian Pass, the Supreme Elder will lead the team personally; you all perform well and don't hold us back!"

"Those whose names are called, go to Elder Tianxuan to receive the corresponding supplies."

"Spirit beast bags, spirit-feeding pills, grain-avoidance pills... don't use these talismans indiscriminately; they were refined personally for you by the Supreme Elder and have extremely strong power! One for each Qi Refining disciple, and a standard Sun-Blazing Talisman for Foundation Establishment cultivators. Additionally, you can choose one other second-tier talisman of a different attribute that suits you."

"We depart in three days; before then, check your magic tools and magic robes; if there is any damage, report it as soon as possible!"

With a Supreme Elder at the Nascent Soul stage going to Lingtian Pass together, everyone was naturally full of confidence.

Li Yingzhang also understood this situation, but when instructing the various cultivators, he remained gentle yet strict.

He was afraid that the sect disciples would suddenly become arrogant because they had the Supreme Elder's support.

Facing the new Sect Master's repeated instructions, the selected disciples listened carefully.

From the Luo Tian Society period, counting it all up, the Luo Tian Sect had been established for two hundred years.

In two hundred years, there had been three generations of Sect Masters.

The first generation, President Sima Hui Niang, had a selfless style of doing things, recognizing no relatives, and only thinking about the interests of the sect. For the sake of the sect, her eldest brother President Sima Xian died in battle, and her third younger brother President Sima Wenjie didn't even get the resources for Core Formation, and even betrayed the sect out of hatred. It could be said that the Luo Tian Sect cultivators were extremely convinced by the first-generation Sect Master President Sima Hui Niang, and no one dared to touch her majesty.

The second generation, Yao Mingyue, was not very outstanding; under her leadership, the Luo Tian Sect gradually declined. But no one blamed her; everyone knew that under the circumstances at that time, Yao Mingyue, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, had already done well enough.

And the third-generation Sect Master, Li Yingzhang, had not been prominent since he took office. But gradually, unknowingly, he had completely sorted out the situation within the sect. And from top to bottom, he maintained just the right relationship with everyone, and he also handled human relationships well.

From an outsider's perspective, Li Yingzhang was a very relaxed Sect Master.

Above, there was the Supreme Elder suppressing everything.

Below, the cultivators had experienced a hundred years of war, and the sect's cohesion had been completely tempered.

What he was doing now was checking for omissions and filling gaps, sorting out the big and small matters in the sect, and then slowly planning, stimulating everyone's potential as much as possible.

It looked relaxed, but when truly doing it, the degree of trouble was not something outsiders could understand.

After pointing out twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators, Tianxuan walked over.

"Regarding Core Formation cultivators, have you decided which three to send?"

Li Yingzhang rarely revealed a look of hesitation.

According to his idea, even though the Supreme Elder had heaven-reaching abilities, there was no room for the slightest carelessness, so naturally, the strongest Core Formation combat power in the sect should be sent to Lingtian Pass with him.

Looking at the Luo Tian Sect, the strongest Core Formation combat power was naturally Wang Yuan, President Sima Hui Niang, and this new Elder Tianxuan in front of him.

But the Supreme Elder seemed to have other ideas?

……

"You don't need me to go?"

"No need."

"Then what about that big guy in the earth vein?"

"Black King doesn't need to go either; just stay at Great Green Mountain and guard the sect with you. Heh, it's precisely because it returned early that I have the confidence to go out and walk around."

"Who are you planning to take?"

"Chu Kui can count as one; he has fought side-by-side with me and knows my style of doing things. And he formed his Core early, so he doesn't need to consolidate his realm. Bring Yang Ping along too; as the sect's law-enforcement elder, he is good at restraining disciples and sect members, and I can also take the opportunity to examine his cultivation situation. Finally, just bring your disciple."

"You mean Xiao Long?"

"Right, as the leader of the younger generation of the Luo Tian Sect, the more things he experiences and the more fame he achieves, the more helpful it will be for improving the confidence of the low-level disciples in the sect. Why, you can't bear to part with your precious disciple?"

Wang Yuan put down the bamboo slip in his hand, his expression extremely calm.

"Letting him experience more of the wind and rain of the cultivation world is always good, otherwise he will always think of human hearts as too good. But if you only take these people, if something really happens, no one will be able to help you."

Regarding this, Luo Chen laughed out loud.

"You think too much; with my current reputation, if I really encounter trouble, there are plenty of people willing to help me."

Suddenly, his smile vanished.

"On the contrary, under such great fame, if I were to bring strong people like you and Black King by my side, who wouldn't feel that the Luo Tian Sect will be a big threat in the future?"

"Threat?"

Wang Yuan frowned unconsciously.

But immediately, he realized the special nature of Luo Chen's current identity.

A generation of Grandmaster Alchemists is a top-tier figure who can completely support a great sect.

If the junior disciples were all talented people, everyone would feel like they were being watched!

Back then, True Person Shenyuan could personally cultivate five Nascent Soul cultivators; with Luo Chen's alchemy ability, as time goes by, the number will only be more than this!

Can the Eastern Wasteland tolerate such a formidable existence?

"For those who show their sharp edge, I am enough. You all still need to hide your light and bide your time, waiting for the day to amaze everyone."

Luo Chen said as much.

Subsequently, his hand flicked across the table, stacking a row of jade bottles and a jade slip.

"This is Black Emperor Paste, which I refined in my spare time recently; although it is extremely painful, it has a miraculous effect on strengthening the physique. You are one step away from the fourth realm of body refining; perhaps these external objects can help you. It's a pity that there are not many raw materials in the sect, and I could only refine these ten bottles. The corresponding usage methods, refining experience, and some taboos are all recorded on the jade slip."

Wang Yuan took a look and naturally put them away.

He had never doubted anything Luo Chen gave him.

Then, he also naturally handed Luo Chen a scroll.

"This is?" Luo Chen asked curiously.

He casually spread out the scroll; it had some inexplicable footprints on it, and no pattern could be seen at all.

Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "Do you still remember that set of 'Wind, Moon, Thunder, Cloud, Stepping into the Immortal Path' you gave me before?"

"This?" Luo Chen was surprised, realizing something.

Wang Yuan nodded, "This is exactly the move I deduced by combining Qi and blood changes, which was missing from it. It doesn't emphasize attack, but emphasizes the movement and shifting in battle; the footsteps are strange and unpredictable. Perhaps it's different from the original Moon Step, but in my opinion, there is absolutely no gap."

"But if you want to cultivate it, lacking Gang Qi and relying purely on a strong physique and magic power, the changes might be slightly inferior to us body refiners."

Speaking of this, Wang Yuan sighed with slight regret.

"The complete 'Wind, Moon, Thunder, Cloud, Stepping into the Immortal Path' is absolutely a top-tier fourth-tier body refining technique. It integrates fast attack, combat movement, long-distance travel, and instantaneous explosion, allowing body refiners to completely erase the gap with cultivators. It's a pity that apart from the Thunder Kick, it's missing a full three styles. With my ability, I can currently only complete the Moon Step. As for the remaining Wind Leg and Cloud Shoe, I am powerless."

Luo Chen listened to Wang Yuan's sigh while looking at the scroll with great interest.

Those inexplicable footprints seemed to come alive when his Qi and blood covered them, becoming agile.

Obviously, this was a template recorded by Wang Yuan in his own way.

Without someone with strong Qi and blood, even if they obtained this scroll, they wouldn't be able to learn it.

In his perception, those footprints that looked like crescent moons were not only agile but also filled with powerful explosive force.

Luo Chen instantly understood that Wang Yuan had also integrated his own self-created Explosive Sky Step into it.

In that case, it would be even easier for him to get started.

Putting away the scroll, Luo Chen was quite excited.

"Having two styles is already very good; if there is an opportunity in the future, I will collect more techniques related to leg work for you to study."

"I'll leave the Luo Tian Sect to you to guard; if you encounter trouble, feel free to order Black King; he will listen to you."

After speaking, he took the scroll and hurried away.

When he came out, he brushed shoulders with a gray-robed cultivator who was sweeping the floor with his head down.

Luo Chen paused, but didn't say anything.

After he left, the gray-robed cultivator raised his head, looking at his back with a complex expression.

A cold wind blew, his throat felt strange, and he couldn't help but cough twice.

Perhaps the coughing sound was too loud, startling the people inside the library.

Wang Yuan's low voice came out: "Zui, clean the third floor today; Min Longyu rearranged the mountain-protecting array a few days ago, and the earth vein shook, dropping quite a bit of dust on the shelves."

The gray-robed cultivator named "Zui" responded, his footsteps slow as he went up the stairs, his figure disappearing into the depths of the sea of books.

……

The news that Alchemist Luo Chen would personally arrive at Lingtian Pass soon spread throughout the majestic city.

Countless people were paying attention to the movements of this powerhouse who had risen instantly like a shooting star.

It was rumored that he rose from humble beginnings and possessed great personal charm; even when he was at the Qi Refining stage, many people followed him.

It was rumored that his combat ability was quite strong, and he once had the illustrious battle record of being invincible below the Core Formation stage in a domain.

It was rumored that he entered the monster race's holy land and didn't die, and his body was full of mysterious colors.

Especially after returning from the North Sea after a hundred years, he was already at the Nascent Soul stage, adding a few more magical stories.

Upon returning to the Eastern Wasteland, he suppressed Motian, built connections with his alchemy ability, the Lingtian City Lord personally congratulated him at the Core Formation ceremony, True Person Xianhe publicly declared Luo Chen to be his good friend, the Fenghua Palace had a marriage alliance with him, and the old-school powerhouse Sovereign Jiuling even said directly that Luo Chen had the demeanor of a gentleman.

Regardless of how much truth and falsehood there was in these rumors.

But at least everyone knew one thing: Luo Chen killed Yin Sixiang, the Core Formation Great Perfection cultivator who had the most hope of forming a Core in the younger generation of the Five Elements Divine Sect, in front of countless people, yet he was still safe and sound.

The ancestor of the Divine Sect, True Person Shenyuan, who was once known as the number one in the Extreme East, still hadn't asked him for an explanation to this day.

From this, it could be seen that Luo Chen had already become a climate!

Therefore, upon receiving the news that Luo Chen would personally arrive at Lingtian Pass, many cultivators prepared in advance to admire his true appearance.

This time came quickly.

A large cloud chariot was flying at a moderate speed in the territory of the Fenghua Domain.

Unlike the Six-Imperial Gu Feiyun Chariot that emphasized gorgeous pageantry before, this cloud chariot had been modified by Min Longyu and was now quite different.

Its flags were flying high, painted with the Luo Tian Sect's Tripod Rising Cinnabar Sun pattern.

One by one, high-spirited Qi Refining cultivators, holding magic tools, stood on both sides, with spirit cranes dancing and circling on the periphery, occasionally landing on the deck of the cloud chariot to rest.

There were also Foundation Establishment True Persons with extraordinary momentum walking among them.

Occasionally, one or two Core Formation Superiors could be seen revealing their figures.

Large and small buildings and palaces rose one after another, and the light of the array was looming.

It could be imagined that once it entered battle, this cloud chariot would turn into a mobile fortress, outputting powerful firepower to the outside.

In one of the palaces in the middle, Luo Chen was satisfied yet felt it was a pity.

Min Longyu's modification of the Six-Imperial Gu Feiyun Chariot could be considered perfect, and he had made targeted arrangements for the current situation, but a clever woman couldn't cook without rice; the cloud chariot itself was just a magic-treasure-level flying boat used by the Baizao Mountain to set off the mountain master's pageantry, and its attack and defense foundation was too poor.

If he could find the skeleton of a fourth-tier monster emperor and integrate it into it, he could greatly increase its upper limit.

Like the Sword Halberd of the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect, it could break through thorns on the sea, and no one dared to block it when it ran rampant in the sky.

"Chu Kui, we are on the battlefield together again; how does it feel?"

Chu Kui, who was sitting next to him, said casually: "It doesn't feel like anything; now that you are so powerful, isn't it just covering me?"

"Haha, you, you, why have you lost the spirit of inviting me to roam the ten thousand miles of yellow sand back then." Luo Chen laughed.

Chu Kui said lazily: "At that time, I considered myself a figure, so naturally my spirit was high, and I even called myself the Heavenly Kui Son. But since forming the Core, I realized that there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens, and there are as many powerhouses in this world as there are carp crossing the river. With my ability, it's already not easy to protect myself from death, let alone stand out."

Luo Chen smiled and didn't provoke him further.

People are different; some will rise against the trend, and some will only realize their insignificance after seeing the blue sky and bright moon, so they will retreat.

To put it nicely, that is having self-knowledge.

And Chu Kui's current state of mind is actually quite suitable for the Luo Tian Sect.

The juniors are all too restless!

Letting Chu Kui watch over them, at least there won't be any big trouble.

"I hope this batch of disciples can be brought back in one piece!"

Chu Kui was slightly surprised, "With you sitting in command, could anything happen?"

Luo Chen shook his head, "In the face of the majestic general trend, even the Divinity Transformation Holy Land could be wiped out, let alone a mere Nascent Soul like me."

Chu Kui was stunned, but thinking of his own experience of feeling desperate about the future path after forming the Core, he now had a feeling of empathy with Luo Chen.

He was at the True Person realm, and the reality of the world he saw would only be deeper than his own.

Keeping a sense of awe is always correct.

Luo Chen didn't chat with him, took a book from his storage ring, and read it carefully.

【Tyrant Blade Domain: Occupied by the Tyrant Blade Sect, this sect has been prosperous for no more than 1,800 years, but its cohesion is extremely strong! Since opening up the war and conquering a domain, the Tyrant Blade Sect has dominated the domain alone, forbidding any forces from touching their territory. When the general trend collapsed, all cultivators retreated, but only the Tyrant Blade Sect remained motionless like a mountain, defending the domain to the death. Now, the Tyrant Blade Domain and the Bikuo and Huoling domains are tightly surrounded by the monster army, and the life and death of the cultivators in the three domains are unknown.】

"Are the cultivators of the Tyrant Blade Sect crazy from refining blades? The monster army is here, and they actually don't retreat?"

Luo Chen muttered a few words and continued to look at the records below.

【Bikuo Domain: Occupied by Bikuo Mountain. The founder of Bikuo Mountain, Bikuo Elder, cultivated ancient strange arts, and when his domain expanded, it had the reputation of blue sea and clear sky. His successors didn't learn the art well, and it is rumored that they can no longer reproduce the blue sea and clear sky...】

Tyrant Blade, Bikuo, and Huoling are the three front-line domains before Lingtian Pass.

Under the siege of the monster race, they have held on for nearly ten years.

This battle record makes the world look sideways.

But as time passed, and with the movement of the monster army gradually gathering, no one was optimistic about them anymore.

Once the three domains are broken, then next, the monster army's blade will point directly at Lingtian Pass!

When the cloud chariot arrived under Lingtian Pass, Luo Chen closed the book with a solemn expression.

Looking up at the towering city walls with flags fluttering, he muttered in his heart:

"I only hope that within my mission period, I don't encounter the monster race knocking at the gate."
