Chapter 702: The Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly Attracts Worldwide Attention
Chapter 702: The Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly Attracts Worldwide Attention
In the dark night, countless chaotic gases howled and surged.
Those caught in the midst were helpless, unable to control their bodies, as the gases enveloped and carried them outward.
Luo Chen's eyes shone with determination, scanning the pitch-black surroundings.
The Moon Scatterer, who was closely pursuing him, was forcibly swept away by the teleportation array. She tried to take Jade Cold Fairy with her, but the latter broke free, pointing at her with intense anger. However, her eyes eventually turned icy cold.
Perhaps noticing Luo Chen's gaze, she suddenly turned her head, her lips moving silently.
Luo Chen could vaguely make out the words, "You can't escape."
Luo Chen scoffed but didn't respond. Instead, he shifted his attention to the others.
The Seaside Heavenly Mother, who had escaped from the Seven Stars Sword Array, fled in a panic.
Even while being teleported, Blood Scatterer and Blood Nightmare Demon continued their pursuit, which was something Luo Chen had never expected. He was surprised by the Blood Nightmare Demon's strength, allowing it to hold out for so long against the renowned Blood Scatterer.
Was the Blood Scatterer's reputation undeserved, or was the Blood Nightmare Demon's strength hidden?
What concerned Luo Chen the most was the last pair to appear—a man and a woman.
If he remembered correctly, they were the children of Flying Cloud, named Gu Shaoshang and Gu Xiaolian.
"It's unbelievable that they are only at the Golden Core realm but can directly access the Light and Dark Pavilions through their inheritance."
The inheritance assessment of Bright Heaven was not something ordinary people could pass.
Even powerful cultivators like Flying Cloud, Seaside Heavenly Mother, and Han Zhan had failed.
"
Thus, the final appearance of the Gu siblings shocked many.
Considering that he had also passed the Pill Hall assessment, Luo Chen could somewhat accept that the siblings passed the Light and Dark Pavilions' inheritance assessment, even if they had some extraordinary encounters.
The only thing that made Luo Chen uneasy was the final battle.
In front of them, he had killed their father, Flying Cloud, but left behind these two children who had accepted the Heaven Forging Demon Lord's inheritance, a potential disaster.
Thinking of their hatred for him and their potential, especially the golden crown on the girl Gu Xiaolian's head...
A ruthless glint appeared on Luo Chen's pale face.
Just as he was secretly plotting, a shrill shout came from the square below.
"Luo Chen!!!"
Luo Chen lowered his eyebrows and looked down. A plump figure was striding through the clouds, his face filled with intense hatred for Luo Chen.
However, under the overwhelming spiritual energy of the teleportation array, the figure's pursuit direction kept shifting, and he could only watch as Luo Chen disappeared into the night.
"It's Grand Age..."
Luo Chen muttered, and his body felt a tremendous tearing sensation.
Buzz...
...
On this day.
In the unfamiliar sea area near the Sinking Sea, several streams of light appeared and scattered in various directions.
In an instant, Luo Chen halted his descent.
Suspended in mid-air, he circulated the Ten Thousand Paths Converge technique once, mobilizing the source power to flow through his entire body.
A warm stream of power passed through him, causing the numerous small wounds on Luo Chen's body to heal rapidly.
"The residual power of Grand Age's body is still in effect!"
Realization dawned on Luo Chen, and he turned to look at his companion.
"Senior, are you alright?"
Han Zhan replied tiredly, "I'm fine, just need to rest for a bit."
"Thank you."
"Why are we discussing this?"
Han Zhan smiled, and a faint light flew out from the puppet, gently floating in front of Luo Chen.
Luo Chen's eyebrows rose, and he took off the Soul Nurturing Wooden Talisman, wearing it on his body.
Then, he looked around at their surroundings.
In this unfamiliar sea area, the seawater was clear, and based on their location, they should be in the Western Storm Sea to the west of the Sinking Sea.
"Were we teleported this far away?"
Luo Chen frowned and instinctively looked in the direction of the Sinking Sea.
The anomaly of the Golden Sky Black Sea was slowly dissipating.
Streams of light were being flung out in all directions.
Among them, a massive shadow, resembling a dragon, emerged from the void of the Sinking Sea, roaring repeatedly.
But another force pulled it back!
"This..." Luo Chen was shocked.
If he wasn't mistaken, that shadow should be the Abyss Dragon Sect that once dwelled in the Beyond Wave of the Five Elements Heavenly Realm!
Han Zhan spoke softly, "This demon tried to merge with the Beyond Wave to comprehend the water element law, but the time was too short. Not only did it fail to comprehend the law, but it was instead assimilated by the Beyond Wave. The Demon Fall Land does not allow any living beings to leave, including those who have been assimilated!"
Luo Chen's face tightened, and he felt a lingering fear.
If he had indulged in the Blazing Inferno, consuming and melting the source-less essence pills without restraint, he might have ended up like the Abyss Dragon Sect.
"Let's go! We can't stay here for long!" Han Zhan reminded.
Luo Chen nodded and thought of the Moon Scatterer woman.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen looked around and flew away in a direction opposite to the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly.
After he left, some cultivators who had been thrown into the Western Storm Sea gradually regained consciousness.
Some had noticed Luo Chen's escape light, but no one dared to stop him.
Luo Chen was the first to regain consciousness and was still able to fly at high speed, which was a clear indication of the insurmountable gap between them.
Anyone who dared to provoke him was seeking their own demise!
Apart from the Xilan Sea area, other places also gradually witnessed the emergence of cultivators who had ventured out of the Demon-Falling Land.
The most eye-catching among them was a towering behemoth that emerged from the Sinking Sea.
Its body resembled a red skyscraper, and its legs were like ancient giant elephants.
As it took each step, the corrosive black water of the Sinking Sea began to boil.
In front of it stood a handsome man who looked like an exiled immortal. If Luo Chen were here, he would have instantly recognized the man's identity.
The king of the Mermaid Clan—Liu Jun!
"Roar..."
A deep roar echoed.
Liu Jun paused, then patiently spoke, "Elder Guixianlou, rest assured. Although the Dragon Sect has fallen to the Demon-Falling Land, I have obtained the key to unlocking the seal of the North Pole Night Mara Heaven. With the help of the other elders within the Night Mara Heaven, as long as you personally take action, we can break the seal of the North Pole Night Mara Heaven with our combined efforts from both inside and outside!"
The giant beast, resembling a skyscraper reaching for the stars, looked down at the insignificant man before it, roaring incessantly.
Liu Jun, the Mermaid Emperor, dared not show the slightest impatience and remained extremely respectful.
"The Great Sage of North Departure and the Sea Emperor Whale have personally promised that as long as you help our demon race's army escape, they will personally assist you in taking that final step and achieving the fifth-stage Ancient Beast!"
The Ancient Beast Guixianlou's emotions calmed down a little, and he took another step forward.
Upon seeing this, Liu Jun, the Mermaid Emperor, couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, feeling a bit helpless in his heart.
If it weren't for the Abyss Dragon Sect causing trouble and the Seaside Heavenly Mother's greed for the Bright Heaven inheritance, he wouldn't have had to personally negotiate with this dangerous Ancient Beast.
Guixianlou, the Ancient Beast, was not only notorious among humans but also had a long list of crimes within their Northern Sea Demon Tribes.
Unfortunately, with the absence of a fifth-stage ancient demon, no one could do anything about this Ancient Beast that had lived for tens of thousands of years.
"However, in the end, it's just a brute force with foolish wisdom, a savage beast of the wilderness."
"Once our demon race's strong escape, the ancient demon's great power will personally take action, and enslaving him will be a matter of moments."
"At that time, I can also ask the Great Sage of North Li to heal my injuries..."
Thinking of the accumulated injuries on his body, Liu Jun couldn't help but reveal a sinister look on his face.
If it weren't for that human Golden Core junior interfering, he wouldn't have been running around with a body full of injuries.
That Five Elements Lotus Platform!
"Don't let me meet you, or I'll make sure you suffer more than death itself!"
"Roar..."
Another low roar came from behind.
Liu Jun was helpless; this Ancient Beast Guixianlou was indeed overly suspicious.
Despite being promised numerous benefits, he kept hesitating, taking three steps and stopping, reluctant to follow him to the North Pole Night Mara Heaven.
Liu Jun, the Mermaid Emperor, once again put on a flattering smile and patiently explained to him.
"The Crow Emperor has fallen in the Demon-Demon War, and from now on, his territory will belong to you. Within it dwell countless giant squids..."
"If you don't like it, there's a fairy mountain in the human realm... Rest assured, the human and demon races have sworn never to coexist. Now that the Demon King Sect has been destroyed, when our demon race's army escapes, it will be time to launch an attack on the Northern Sea, reclaim lost territories, and restore the paradise where beasts and demons lived together."
...
The sun rose, the moon floated, and the stars flowed in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, several months had passed since the disappearance of the Golden Sky Black Sea anomaly in the Sinking Sea.
Some small rumors also began to spread among the nearby cultivators.
The secret realm in the Sinking Sea had long been controlled by the Demon King Sect, leaving outsiders with no say.
Apart from a few lucky ones, like the powerful Li Canghai, few had the opportunity to explore it.
However, this time, cultivators from various factions had ventured there.
Naturally, some of the strange stories from this journey also spread uncontrollably.
Rumors of abundant heavenly resources, powerful exotic beasts, and terrifying monsters abounded.
Stories of the Demon Lord Liu, Penglai Immortal Sect, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly's powerful cultivators having a fateful encounter circulated.
Even the names of many extinct spiritual herbs appeared in the mouths of those who sought excitement.
Among these true and false rumors, one piece of news spread like wildfire.
The biggest winner of the Sinking Sea secret realm expedition was the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly!
The Blood Scatterer went on a killing spree, suppressing the three Nascent Soul experts of the Demon Lord Liu, and his ferocity was even greater than before.
The Moon Scatterer obtained a legacy and acquired a Spirit Treasure, further revealing the profound cultivation of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
There was also the rising star of the demonic path, the Azure Sun Demon Lord, who, despite being at the Golden Core stage, managed to defeat the Yuan Ying cultivator Flying Cloud from the Sea Alliance, achieving an unprecedented feat in the cultivation world.
Upon hearing these rumors, those who sought excitement found them unbelievable and refused to believe them.
However, as more details were revealed, everyone gradually accepted them.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly was the closest to the Sinking Sea, so if anyone in the entire Northern Sea, or even the Mountain and Sea Realm, had the most knowledge and preparation for that place, it was them.
Their abundant harvest seemed only natural.
However, as a result, many cultivators' conversations centered around the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, the holy land of loose cultivators.
Although the Blood Scatterer was powerful, it was said that during the battle, he suffered heavy losses among his Blood God Children, and his strength had significantly declined, leaving him in a weakened state.
As for the Moon Scatterer, she obtained a Spirit Treasure! A genuine Spirit Treasure that surpassed artifacts and treasures, capable of communicating with the energy of heaven and earth!
If there were such a treasure, one could truly dominate the realm.
It was said that she obtained this treasure not long ago and hadn't had the chance to refine it yet. If one were to seize this opportunity and snatch the Spirit Treasure away... What could a Great Cultivator do? Judging by her age, she had likely just advanced not long ago, and might not be much stronger than other Nascent Soul existences.
Facing these rumors that were spreading like wildfire, especially the content about the Nine True and One False, in a towering mountain resembling a crescent moon within the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, the Moon Scatterer, her face stern, interrupted Zi Hou's report.
"No need to say more, someone is stirring up trouble and muddying the waters."
Zi Hou was surprised, "Who is it?"
The Moon Scatterer half-reclined on a soft couch, her face showing disgust.
"Who else could it be, who can spread such detailed information with such precision, only those who personally experienced the Battle of Bright Heaven."
Those who personally experienced the Battle of Bright Heaven?
Zi Hou's face was filled with bewilderment.
The Moon Scatterer coldly snorted, and several names flashed through her mind.
The Azure Sun Demon Lord Luo Hai, the remnant of the Demon King Sect, the Blood Nightmare Demon King, and her rebellious younger sister! None of these people wanted peace for the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly.
Especially the first one!
"Have you found what I asked you to investigate?"
Zi Hou's face tightened, and she quickly replied, "Almost everything has been investigated. The Azure Sun Demon Lord hasn't returned to Penghu, and during his time in the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, he was closest to Lord Lushan, Duan Li, the head of Tu Sang Sect Sang Jiu Gong, and also the Fishing Old Man, the Zhou Family of Lotus Harvest Island."
"Lord Lushan is still on his distant journey and hasn't returned, Sang Jiu Gong passed away ten years ago."
"Duan Li and the Zhou Family cultivators of Lotus Harvest Island have all been controlled by my people, waiting for your interrogation. However, that Zhou Family woman is from the Zhou Family of Coral Sea, and she has been causing a lot of trouble."
The Moon Scatterer waved her hand.
"No matter, the Zhou Family is not to be feared. For the sake of a mere Foundation Establishment female cultivator, they wouldn't dare provoke me. Keep Duan Li under control, perhaps he knows where the Azure Sun Demon Lord is."
"Additionally, don't let go of the disciples of Tu Sang Sect. The Azure Sun Demon Lord was able to pass the Pill Realm's test and obtain the inheritance, so he must be a formidable pill concocting master. Tu Sang Sect is proficient in nurturing spirit plants and medicinal herbs, and there's a high chance they are connected to the Azure Sun Demon Lord."
Zi Hou nodded repeatedly, memorizing these commands one by one.
Finally, she cautiously said, "The situation at Galo Mountain, since Blood Scatterer's return, has been in a sealed state."
"Oh!"
The Moon Scatterer's eyebrows rose, and she said, "You can go now, and make sure to carry out my instructions."
After Zi Hou left, the Moon Scatterer pondered for a while, then calmly rose and left the palace.
Soon after, her figure appeared at the foot of Galo Mountain.
Looking at the mountain range shrouded in red mist, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
"Windling Scholar has gone mad, and in this vast Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, only you and I remain. How can one mountain accommodate two tigers?"
"Countless people outside covet the Spirit Treasure Ten Thousand Beast Scroll in my hands. Even with my Great Cultivator realm, I still feel like I have a thorn in my back."
"If you are willing to submit to me..."
A thought flashed through her mind, and she sent out a sound transmission talisman.
After a long time, there was no response.
The Moon Scatterer frowned, and spiritual light appeared on her body as she forcefully stepped into the red mist.
As her figure disappeared into the mist, deafening explosions echoed from time to time.
The powerful solitary cultivators in the Fu Long Mountain Range heard these sounds and couldn't help but shiver, even if they were curious, they dared not look.
In their minds, there was only one thought: the two solitary cultivators were fighting!
Unbeknownst to them, inside Galo Mountain, there was only the Moon Scatterer.
The beautiful woman looked at the empty cave abode, a mocking smile on her lips.
"He ran away pretty fast!"
Although she mocked, deep inside, she still held respect for the Blood Scatterer.
Even at the Nascent Soul realm, he remained as cautious as he was when his cultivation was low.
When it was time to be domineering and reckless, he was the uninhibited Blood Scatterer.
When it was time to be cautious, he could still abandon his old nest and embody the style of a cultivator facing tribulations.
But by doing so, the outside world didn't know that the Blood Scatterer had escaped, and if someone really wanted to target the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, they would likely come with a formation aimed at suppressing both her and the Blood Scatterer.
And the Blood Scatterer, with enemies everywhere, calmly escaped, unnoticed.
"Pang Buyue, your move has made things difficult for me."
Pang Buyue was the Blood Scatterer's real name.
The Moon Scatterer's face turned slightly gloomy, and at this moment, she felt overwhelmed, not knowing where to start.
Digesting the gains from the Demon Subduing Realm, tracking down Luo Chen, preventing outsiders from coveting the treasure in her hands, and also managing the affairs of the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly...
"Solitary cultivators find it hard to achieve anything!"
"I want to rely on the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, rise in the Northern Sea, and destroy the Penglai Immortal Sect. The task is daunting!"
"Fortunately, with the Ten Thousand Beast Scroll, I finally have the capital to compete with the powers of the Northern Sea."
Muttering to herself, the Moon Scatterer left Galo Mountain.
Wherever she passed, solitary cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly bowed in reverence.
...
In a merchant ship's cabin, heading towards the Sea Alliance.
Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.
Han Zhan's voice followed, "How's the situation?"
Luo Chen shook his head, his expression complex, with surprise, joy, and a hint of disappointment.
"Sigh... It's complicated."
