Chapter 893: Born noble, name spread before arrival

Inside the flying boat cabin.

Familiar posture, familiar atmosphere; Luo Chen was cultivating quietly.

Because he was not in a place with a spirit vein, the spiritual energy of the outside world was not that dense, so it did not provoke the Nascent Soul to be as lively as before.

After a while.

Luo Chen let out a long breath, ending a session of cultivation.

The growth of magic power within his body was negligible, but he did not care about this point.

Instead, with a thought, he focused his attention on the Nascent Soul.

On the fair and tender Nascent Soul figure, black halos like ripples were slowly wafting outward; as his mind sank into it, the changes in the cultivation process that he had previously ignored due to being too focused emerged one by one.

The rhythm and tempo of breathing and exhaling, the traction and refining of external spiritual energy, the reaction of the extraordinary meridians, acupoints, and Purple Mansion after the magic power flowed through them...

Bit by bit, even some subtle changes in the Purple Mansion were clearly visible!

This was the first time Luo Chen had seen his own cultivation process with his own eyes.

That feeling, how should one put it... four words to describe it—full of loopholes!

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, muttering to himself: "I considered my cultivation of the 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture' to have reached a level of proficiency, but why does it look wrong everywhere now, with oversights everywhere?"

Yes, in the past, Luo Chen had never doubted his proficiency in his natal cultivation technique.

This could also be reflected by the rapid improvement of his realm.

But looking at it now, it was far from reaching a perfect state, and there were still many shortcomings.

Suddenly, Luo Chen realized something.

People often subconsciously beautify what they do, or are blinded by being in the midst of the mountain, not knowing its true face.

But as the saying goes, the bystander sees more than the player!

A chess player who thinks every step is well-played, in the eyes of a bystander, will have some muddled, foolish moves.

Just like a top-tier gaming god of the past, in the eyes of a keyboard warrior, would also have idiotic operations.

Only by detaching from the game itself and jumping out of one's own perspective can one perceive the shortcomings within.

"Fortunately, these are all small problems; a little sorting out and modification will do."

Luo Chen smiled slightly and entered the cultivation state once again.

The goal was not to improve strength, but to correct some drawbacks from his past cultivation.

Adjusting the rhythm of breathing and exhaling, controlling the path of magic power circulating in the body...

Slowly, Luo Chen's proficiency in the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture" was rising rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

One must know, the current "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture" was not the Jin Dan chapter from back then.

It was a relatively complete full text, a peerless technique sufficient for the Phoenix clan to cultivate to the Mahayana stage!

Even for human cultivation, the upper limit was extremely high.

Under these circumstances, Luo Chen could still rapidly improve his technique proficiency, which shows that the changes he made to himself were indeed effective.

That Illumination Gu was truly worthy of its reputation!

Perhaps it could not improve a cultivator's strength instantly like other Gu insects or elixirs, but in assisting cultivation, it could produce immediate effects.

Especially since Luo Chen could also use the proficiency panel to compare whether the changes he made were beneficial or harmful, this was a combination effect of one plus one being greater than two.

"If there were a few more such Gu insects, perhaps that distant late-stage Nascent Soul realm would be within reach."

In the gaps of cultivation, Luo Chen thought so.

Then he quickly entered the state of making small changes to his own cultivation.

Another half a year later.

The flying boat gradually stopped in a clear sky.

Master Lei Ting looked ahead and let out a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

Since the Shadow Reflection Sect, there had been no more mistakes on this journey.

Next, he only needed to introduce Luo Chen into that circle, and his promise would be considered fulfilled.

"Are we there?"

A voice came from inside the cabin.

Master Lei Ting answered subconsciously: "Nine Mist Xiancheng has arrived."

When saying this, he looked back and happened to see Luo Chen walking out of the cabin.

Cloud boots stepping on waves, mysterious armor with a jade belt.

Golden crown with feathers, bright eyes like stars.

Master Lei Ting couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

In the past, Luo Chen was also dressed like this, giving people a feeling of being full of dominance, looking down on everyone, and being contemptuous of everyone he saw.

But at that time, there was still a sense of stiffness and affectation.

But for some reason, after not seeing each other for just a few months, some imperceptible changes seemed to have occurred in the other party.

Still that same domineering and contemptuous look, still that same disdain for all living beings.

But behind this dominance, the original stiffness and affectation were gone, and it had become more natural instead.

It was as if the other party was born to be high above, noble to an extreme, viewing all living beings as nothing!

How should one put it?

A few words flashed through Master Lei Ting's mind: "Born noble!"

Seeing Master Lei Ting staring at him in a daze, Luo Chen frowned, "What's wrong?"

Master Lei Ting shook his head hurriedly and introduced to Luo Chen: "Nine Mist Xiancheng has arrived, the entrance to the Mi Xu Jie Mountain is inside, let's go to Nine Mist Xiancheng to settle down first!"

Luo Chen still frowned slightly.

He discovered that the other party's voice was subconsciously lowered, as if in awe of him.

"Could it be that my cultivation has gone wrong again?"

(Line break)

Luo Chen muttered in his heart, but did not show it, instead following Master Lei Ting toward the famous Nine Mist Xiancheng.

What he did not know was that the slight changes in the technique, after daily cultivation, would have a certain influence on the entire person's temperament, both internally and externally.

Like taking the True Flame Elixir to cultivate the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture" back then, it caused his appearance to change, with his face being extremely red.

And now, after constantly adjusting various details he hadn't paid attention to before, he had indeed cultivated a bit of so-called "noble air."

The technique itself does not contain so-called noble air, but the divine bird Phoenix does!

This set of techniques tailored for the Phoenix clan naturally has that kind of sacred noble air.

Luo Chen values practicality and had never cared about it before, but now that he had perfected the technique more and more, he had gradually cultivated... no, it should be said he had nurtured that "noble air" unique to himself.

Nine Mist Xiancheng!

It has a great reputation in the Southern Border, but cultivators from the other four continents of the Mountain Sea World do not know much about it.

This is because the foundation of this city is not deep, having been established only in the last few hundred years.

"This city is the gateway to Mi Xu Jie Mountain, and it was also because Master Song Yang found the entrance to Mi Xu Jie Mountain back then that he spent a great price to build this immortal city outside the entrance."

"After the emerging organization, the Fierce Peak Zombie Alliance, gradually surfaced, Nine Mist Xiancheng also became increasingly lively."

"As for the name Nine Mist, Brother Qi will know as soon as you see it!"

Putting away the flying boat, the two turned into escaping lights and moved forward quickly.

Before long, the outline of a towering giant city appeared in Luo Chen's eyes from afar.

At just one glance, Luo Chen remembered the appearance of this immortal city.

Standing above the nine heavens, hidden in the mist, appearing and disappearing, elegant and otherworldly.

Perhaps not as sharp and fierce as Ling Tian Pass, nor as deeply founded as Shang You Xiancheng.

But that elegant and detached temperament, as if it were a fairyland, was unforgettable to anyone who saw it.

"What a great immortal city!" Luo Chen said.

Master Lei Ting smiled: "When I first saw Nine Mist Xiancheng, I had the same exclamation. In the vast Southern Border, there are very few that can compare to this city. People in the world find it hard to imagine that such an elegant immortal city would come from the hands of Master Song Yang."

Master Song Yang!

A great cultivator who has been famous in the Southern Border cultivation world for many years.

He personally established the Fierce Peak Zombie Alliance.

Just hearing the name Fierce Peak Zombie Alliance, one can know the tip of the iceberg of that great cultivator's style of conduct.

Under the construction of an immortal city hosted by such a powerhouse, the style should be more like Ling Tian Pass.

The current Nine Mist Xiancheng is indeed unrelated to the forces established by the other party.

Of course, thinking about these things now is meaningless; the two pierced through the clouds and mist, not hiding their presence at all, and sped toward Nine Mist Xiancheng.

The massive escaping light radiated a tyrannical aura.

The terrain of Nine Mist Xiancheng was extremely high to begin with, and those low-level cultivators had to fly up from below to enter the city.

Therefore, outside the immortal city, there were countless escaping lights, like ascending to a palace.

Two powerful escaping lights flew over their heads, instantly attracting the attention of many people.

"It's a Nascent Soul True Person!"

"Two more Nascent Soul old monsters have come!"

"Is this Fierce Peak Zombie Alliance really going to do something big, to attack a holy land?"

"Inviting top powerhouses of the Southern Border so widely, engaging in alliances, if they didn't have some ideas, I certainly wouldn't believe it."

"I hope my ancestor doesn't get involved; is that holy land something we dare to provoke?"

"Heh, the Life and Death Gate is like a shrinking turtle, not coming out for so long, not even scolding when the tributes given to them in the past were cut off; I guess there have been problems internally for a long time. What's there to fear!"

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two escaping lights landed before the tall city gate.

After landing, Luo Chen and Master Lei Ting looked at each other, both with expressions of surprise on their faces.

With their spiritual sense, they could naturally take the secret discussions and arguments of those low-level cultivators into their ears.

It was also until this moment that the two knew what kind of major event was about to happen at their destination.

"Is it true?" Luo Chen asked.

Master Lei Ting was somewhat at a loss, "Wind Thunder Gorge is too remote; I know nothing about these changes in the Southern Border situation!"

Luo Chen took a deep breath, stopped discussing, and stepped into the city.

It was just that it seemed like he was not about to enter an immortal city, but a huge vortex.

Just like Ling Tian Pass back then!

But Luo Chen did not retreat; regardless of the persona he was deliberately maintaining now, or his powerful strength today, both were enough to make him dare to step into any vortex.

Seeing him look so unswerving, Master Lei Ting hesitated for a moment, but still chose to follow.

Once inside the city, Master Lei Ting subconsciously spread his spiritual sense.

In just a moment, he gasped and quickly retracted his spiritual sense.

"Hiss!"

"In this city, there are actually so many existences of the same level?"

When saying this, he couldn't help but look at Luo Chen.

But he found that the other party only raised an eyebrow, without any unseemly performance.

"Could it be that he didn't perceive those Nascent Soul True Persons?"

Body cultivators are strong in physique but weak in soul.

Explaining it this way, perhaps it was the reason for Luo Chen's calmness.

(Line break)

However, Luo Chen's next sentence dispelled his speculation.

"Seven!"

"There are seven Nascent Soul True Persons in the city, most of them are in the early Nascent Soul stage, and there are only two in the middle stage."

After speaking, Luo Chen stood in place, motionless.

Master Lei Ting was stunned; the other party not only discovered them but also accurately stated the number of Nascent Soul cultivators; could it be that his soul was even stronger than his own?

How is this possible!

Just as he was surprised, on the crowded street ahead, a figure came hurriedly, without any hesitation, and recognized Luo Chen and the others at a glance.

Whoosh...

Like a whirlwind, the young man arrived before Luo Chen and Master Lei Ting and bowed.

"Junior Hu Jin, under the orders of my master, Daoist Zheng Guan, has come to welcome the two seniors."

Once the name Daoist Zheng Guan came out, Master Lei Ting reacted immediately.

He transmitted his voice to Luo Chen: "He is the City Lord of Nine Mist Xiancheng, and also the host who held that exchange meeting back then. His realm is in the middle Nascent Soul stage; he should be one of the two you just perceived."

After speaking, he nodded to Hu Jin, who was only at the Jin Dan stage, "Little friend, I am Lei Ting; I once had a brief meeting with your master."

Hu Jin smiled: "Master, my master has mentioned you; you are an unparalleled genius of the Southern Border, advancing to the Nascent Soul stage as a rogue cultivator, and he often uses your experience to whip us incompetent juniors."

Master Lei Ting's eyes lit up, "Oh, really? Then I am somewhat honored to be used by Daoist Zheng as a positive example to encourage his disciples."

After Hu Jin exchanged a few polite words, he looked at Luo Chen.

"This senior is..."

"Lead the way!"

Luo Chen said lightly, having no intention of introducing himself in front of a junior.

This made Hu Jin's expression freeze, understanding that in front of the other party, the status of being under a Nascent Soul master was not so useful.

This person was afraid of being a difficult master to deal with!

But he did not feel any resentment, as if the other party's demeanor was natural, not deliberately done.

That innate nobility should be like this!

"Two seniors, please follow me!"

At the same time, inside a palace.

An old Daoist with a white beard holding a whisk stood at the door to welcome them.

Someone familiar was puzzled, not understanding why the other party was acting like this.

One must know that the white-bearded old Daoist was the master of a force, and even after joining the Fierce Peak Zombie Alliance, his status was quite high.

Even Nine Mist Xiancheng, the gateway guarding Mi Xu Jie Mountain, was handed over to him to manage, which shows that both his reputation and strength were recognized by those great cultivators of the Fierce Peak Zombie Alliance.

Especially another Nascent Soul powerhouse who was a guest in the palace frowned even more.

When he came before, Zheng Guan didn't welcome him so warmly!

He wanted to see who was coming!

A moment later, three figures appeared in front of the palace.

Daoist Zheng Guan, from far away, flicked his whisk and laughed loudly: "Is it the Tyrant Cultivator Qi Tian in person?"

Master Lei Ting was startled; Qi Tian hadn't introduced himself, how did the other party know his name?

Luo Chen grinned and said unceremoniously: "It is indeed this seat!"

Zheng Guan bowed, "Please come in!"

Luo Chen gave a simple fist salute and went into the hall without yielding.

Master Lei Ting opened his mouth; the development of things was completely beyond his expectations.

It seemed he hadn't even had time to introduce him yet?

Hu Jin, who was leading the way, was also caught off guard, but a moment later, he seemed to remember something.

Looking at Luo Chen's back, he couldn't help but carry a bit of awe.

In the hall, the Nascent Soul powerhouse who had arrived earlier frowned instantly.

"Tyrant Cultivator Qi Tian, could it be that one?" ===== CHAPTER 894 =====
