Chapter 721: Lan Ya Mei Yi Qi, the Savage Scattered Cultivator Luo Chen

On the Six Empyrean Flying Cloud Cart.

Under the jade-green curtains, Luo Chen held a jade scroll in his hands, carefully studying its contents.

He pondered, frowned, and his face occasionally lit up with surprise.

After a while, he finally put down the scroll, marveling at what he had just read.

"There is such an array in this world, seemingly just a connection of terrain, but in fact, it relies on the principle of interconnected earth energy. With an island at its center, it continuously covers and connects the surrounding spirit veins. Moreover, in this process, each island involved can be considered a central point, expanding outward... As time goes on, even the most scattered and small spirit veins on islands can support and strengthen each other."

"The concept behind this array is impressive, not just for defense, but more so for connecting the earth's veins and nurturing spiritual energy."

"It's no wonder this is an array personally passed down by a Divine Transformation stage array master!"

Indeed, the jade scroll in Luo Chen's hand was the famous "Linked Island Formation Array" that had become the most renowned array in the Northern Sea Immortal Realm over the past two hundred years!

After the Xu family's Third Elder joined the Cang Hai Righteous Alliance, a powerful cultivator from the alliance had bestowed this array upon him.

The array's plates, flags, and other array-setting tools were naturally taken by the Third Elder.

However, considering the friendship between the Xu and Cheng families, the Third Elder still left the array diagram with Cheng Haixin.

The Swallow Island Archipelago was not lacking in spirit veins, with over thirty islands suitable for cultivation.

But due to the scattered nature of the spirit veins and the scattered distribution of the islands, the overall situation was not ideal.

If this array could connect the Swallow Islands, within a hundred years, the archipelago might be completely linked, forming a more robust earth and water vein network, thus creating a truly suitable cultivation ground for Golden Core Cultivators.

With such a profound foundation, the defensive array would naturally be more formidable.

As long as they didn't encounter enemies like the Demon Emperor or Great Demon Kings, they could ensure their safety.

Now that Luo Chen was a Nascent Soul True Man, Cheng Haixin couldn't offer any significant gifts when he left. Instead, she gave him a copy of the Linked Island Formation Array.

In Luo Chen's opinion, this array, if used properly, could strengthen small islands, unite scattered lands, and even elevate a third-tier spirit vein to a fourth-tier one in the long term, given its already impressive foundation.

Li Cang Hai's generosity was truly remarkable, as he was willing to bestow such an array, which could be a core legacy for a sect, upon the Northern Sea Immortal Realm without hesitation.

Indeed, in Luo Chen's view, Li Cang Hai's action was not just a gift to his subordinate, the Cang Hai Righteous Alliance.

Any powerful being with the right intentions could obtain this array from the disunited Cang Hai Alliance and pass it on to their subordinates.

At the very least, the Mara Stream had likely already done so.

"This is a good thing for me!"

"I obtained the Five Elements Mountain-Moving Technique from the Five Elements Divine Sect early on, and Black King can naturally attract stray spiritual energy from heaven and earth. If I add this array, cultivating a fifth-tier spirit vein in the future will be much easier."

"Yes, if I can also get the Five Peaks Enveloping Valley Feng Shui Array from Qing Dan Valley, it will be even more foolproof!"

As Luo Chen mused, his eyebrows suddenly lifted.

"Tianxuan, slow down."

"Yes, Master!"

Tianxuan didn't understand Luo Chen's intentions, but she still slowed down the Six Empyrean Flying Cloud Cart.

She wondered why they were slowing down when they were still several days away from Cold Light Island. Just then, a massive flying boat appeared, flying from north to south in the clouds with a rumbling sound.

The boat was exquisitely designed with pavilions, artificial mountains, and flowing water.

Banners fluttered, and silhouettes of people moved about, exuding a powerful killing intent that filled the sky.

In comparison, the Six Empyrean Flying Cloud Cart, though extravagantly luxurious as the Hundred Mountain Sect leader's vehicle, was slightly inferior in terms of scale.

With just a glance, Tianxuan realized the kind of existence that deserved such a grand means of transportation.

A Nascent Soul True Man!

At that moment, a deep male voice echoed from the giant flying boat.

"I am Mei Yi Qi from Lan Ya Mountain. May I ask which immortal sect's esteemed cultivator is ahead of us?"

The introduction of his identity was clear.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, thought for a moment, and then said loudly, "I am a Savage Scattered Cultivator. Where did you hear about immortals? I have long heard of the fame of the Lan Ya True Man. I, the Savage Scattered Cultivator, greet you."

On the Lan Ya Cloud Ferry, the Lan Ya True Man, dressed as a cultivator, frowned subconsciously.

A Savage Cultivator?

And at the Nascent Soul stage?

Such an existence was extremely rare in the world.

He had heard of the Mad Scattered Cultivator, the Blood Scattered Cultivator, and the Moon Scattered Cultivator, but never of a Savage Scattered Cultivator!

A nearby disciple serving him spoke cautiously, "Master, be careful; it might be a Mara Stream ambush!"

The Lan Ya True Man shook his head, "I came here with the idea of ceasefire, so how could there be an ambush? Moreover, this person's spiritual sense is strong, and he slowed down before us as a courtesy. As far as I know, there are only a few in the Mara Stream who can match this, and none of them would dare to confront us."

"I see," the disciple said, then hesitated, "But what about us..."

"No need to worry," Langya True Person stroked his beard and smiled, "Although his spiritual awareness is powerful, his Essence Energy fluctuations are intense, indicating a recent breakthrough to the Primordial Infant Stage. I dare say I have some tricks up my sleeve and am not afraid of him."

"Please invite him up for a chat!"

...

"Master, is he really a cultivator from Langya Mountain?"

"Didn't you see the Azure Flower emblem on the flying boat? When we took the Langya Mountain merchant ship to the Giant Whale Harbor, there was this emblem on it."

At the foot of Langya Mountain, hundreds of flowers bloom year-round, but the most renowned is the Azure Flower, known for its pale color and extraordinary fragrance.

Thus, the emblem of the Langya Mountain sect features the Azure Flower.

Tianxuan suddenly realized, as she had been severely injured during that journey and had no time to pay attention to such details.

Now, as she recalled it carefully, she had a faint impression.

At that moment, the old man's mellow voice came from the flying boat again.

"Wilderness Loose Cultivator, seeing you here, are you also heading to Mo Lan Ting for the Demon and Immortal Ceasefire Conference?"

Luo Chen's eyebrows furrowed.

Demon and Immortal Ceasefire Conference? What is that? The words 'Mo Lan Ting' made his heart skip a beat.

If he remembered correctly, Mo Lan Ting was the lair of the Blood Nightmare Demon King in the Mara Stream!

On the flying boat, Langya True Person continued, "In that case, please come up for a chat. I'd like to make a new Fellow Daoist acquaintance."

Luo Chen took a deep breath and stepped out of the carriage.

Behind him, Tianxuan and Sang Jing He looked at him with concern, but he smiled and waved his hand reassuringly.

"No need to worry!"

With that, he gracefully boarded the boat, exuding an aura devoid of worldly concerns.

There was no sign of cloud riding or wind assistance, just a simple yet impressive display of his abilities.

Over a hundred Langya Sect members on the Langxuan Cloud Ferry felt a chill run down their spines.

Indeed, this was a True Cultivator's technique!

In silence, he manipulated the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to aid his flight, a nearly instinctual action!

As soon as Luo Chen boarded the boat, he looked left and right, nodding slightly.

Langya Mountain was indeed well-managed, with around a hundred Foundation Establishment True Cultivators and several hidden Golden Core Cultivators within the boat.

And this was just their travel formation.

One could imagine that at its peak, Langya Mountain's strength was no less than any normal Primordial Infant Upper Sect.

"Fellow Daoist, please come this way!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly and strode into the palace-like structure in the center of the flying boat.

Inside, he saw a white-haired, long-bearded Daoist with a ruddy complexion, who greeted him with a bow.

"I am Mei Yi Qi. Greetings, Fellow Daoist."

Luo Chen smiled and returned the bow, "I am Luo Chen. Greetings, Fellow Daoist."

After exchanging names, Luo Chen took a seat.

As the aroma of tea filled the air, Langya True Person carefully observed Luo Chen, shaking his head and sighing after a while, "Wilderness Loose Cultivator, you look so young, and I can't discern the passage of time in your appearance. Yet, your cultivation base seems to be on par with mine. Truly, the cultivation world is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"

Luo Chen chuckled, "I've been cultivating in the wilderness, away from the trials of the cultivation world, so I appear younger. True Person, you flatter me!"

His brief words held hidden tests.

Luo Chen provided an answer, but it was not what was asked.

He shifted the topic, getting straight to the point.

"I, a Loose Cultivator, have been secluded in the Monster Sea for years, far from the mundane world. I wonder, what is this Demon and Immortal Ceasefire Conference?"

Langya True Person smiled, "Ceasefire means to stop the war. After a century of indecisive battles between demons and immortals, the Demon Coalition of the Northern Sea is now launching a large-scale invasion of our human territories. This demon-immortal struggle should come to an end."

"The demon plague is that serious?" Luo Chen's eyebrows furrowed.

Langya True Person continued to smile, but this time, it held a hint of bitterness.

"You've been carefree in the Monster Sea, unaware of the growing strength of the demons. Thirty years ago, the Wild Beast Immortal Mansion broke through the powerful demon-sealing array of the Great Sage Li Cang Hai. They entered the Northern Night Mara Heaven, using the remnants of the Sinking Sea's anomaly to tear open a gap in the Ten Million Souls Binding Array laid down by the Soul Refining Old Ancestor of the Primordial Demon Sect before his death. Like a dam breached by an ant, countless powerful demons sealed in the Yama Heaven were set free."

"I've heard that the Northern Departure Great Sage is now stationed in the Yama Heaven, and the Sea Emperor Whale has emerged from seclusion, facing off against the human powerhouse Li Cang Hai with no clear advantage."

"Logically, it should be a balanced situation, but the Wild Beast Immortal Mansion has faced no worthy opponents!"

"With the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly broken, Divine Essence City besieged, and the Penglai Immortal Sect in retreat, our Cang Hai Righteous Alliance is under attack from all sides. This demon-immortal war is truly unsustainable."

Each piece of news struck Luo Chen like a bursting soybean, shattering his calm demeanor.

He never imagined the situation could deteriorate to such an extent.

Even though the Northern Night Mara Heaven sealed many demons, it had experienced the demon-immortal war, and with the Primordial Demon Sect's foundation, their last-ditch counterattack should have taken out most of their elite forces.

Unexpectedly, the demon clan's allied forces still maintained formidable combat power.

And that Wild Beast Immortal Mansion, which I had only briefly glimpsed in the past, was truly that formidable? Even the Human Clan's Nascent Soul Stage experts were unable to resist?

The news of the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly's fall was initially shocking, but it was also within reason.

However, the siege of Divine Essence City was indeed perplexing.

It was common knowledge that behind Divine Essence City was the Central Land Heavenly Origin Dao Sect!

Luo Chen took a deep breath and asked about another matter.

"Mara Stream, are they willing to cease fighting?"

Langya True Person poured a cup of tea for Luo Chen and then spoke, "Why wouldn't they be willing? With their ally, Penglai Immortal Sect, having fled, their strength is inherently inferior to ours in the Sea of Tranquility Alliance. Ceasing the war is the wise choice."

Luo Chen was puzzled, "But I remember that Blood Nightmare Demon King of Mara Stream is the type who would rather stir chaos in the world. How could he be willing to join hands with you to resist the demon clan? He even offered his cultivation grounds as the venue for the Ceasefire Conference?"

"Hehe, you're talking about Blood Nightmare Demon King!"

At this point, Langya True Person looked at Luo Chen with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"It seems, Fellow Daoist, that you haven't spent much time in the Monster Sea."

Luo Chen smiled slightly and didn't argue.

Blood Nightmare Demon King's personality was only later known to the world.

The ambush and assassination of the Sea of Tranquility Alliance's high-ranking member, Mu Lan Gaoxiong, which ignited the war between the righteous and demonic paths, occurred eighty or ninety years ago.

Since Luo Chen was aware of the other party's actions and style, it indicated that he was still in the Northern Sea Cult Realm at that time.

Langya True Person had probed a bit of Luo Chen's background and was quite satisfied.

Then, his tone turned grave.

"After Blood Nightmare Demon King emerged from the Sinking Sea, he was relentlessly pursued by Blood Vagabond, like a stray dog without a home. He barely had time to hide, let alone dare to return to Mara Stream."

"Especially after it was discovered that he had refined all the disciples and followers of the Primordial Demon Sect he had recruited in the past into Blood Divine Sons."

"Such demonic practices have long made him unwelcome in the Northern Sea Cult Realm!"

Luo Chen was taken aback.

The other party was originally a member of the Primordial Demon Sect, and his actions were typical of the demonic path. But immediately, he realized the impropriety of the situation.

Refining Blood Divine Sons was inherently against human nature.

Moreover, he used the remnants of the Primordial Demon Sect that he had recruited in the past for this purpose.

It was common knowledge that when Blood Nightmare Demon King established Mara Stream, he had raised the banner of sheltering the survivors of the Primordial Demon Sect and restoring its former glory.

His actions were tantamount to destroying his own credibility! Reputation, fame, righteousness—Luo Chen was well aware of the power of these things.

In the past, his title as the Fire Spirit Lord was enough to make many strangers trust him, which was the benefit of a good reputation.

The founding principle of Mara Stream was also to restore the glory of the Primordial Demon Sect.

Regardless of whether the founder was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator behind the scenes or Blood Nightmare Demon King, a Primordial Demon Sect elder, their banner had been torn down by themselves, leaving them without a righteous cause.

So, Langya True Person was right when he said that Blood Nightmare Demon King had no place in the Northern Sea Cult Realm.

Mara Stream would be the first to seek revenge on Blood Nightmare Demon King!

As for the Sea of Tranquility Alliance, there was no need to even mention it.

As for the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, one of the three former hegemons, it had long since dispersed.

If you add to this Blood Vagabond's relentless pursuit and killing...

Luo Chen shook his head and sighed, "No wonder this place of cultivation for the demonic path's giant, Mo Lan Ting, has become a place for both the righteous and demonic paths to negotiate a ceasefire."

"The world is ever-changing. Who could have known what would happen in the past? However..."

Langya True Person first sighed and then smiled.

"But this actually gives us an opportunity."

"Opportunity?" Luo Chen was curious.

Langya True Person nodded, "Yes! Previously, with the intense battles between the righteous and demonic paths, communication between the two sides was cut off, and various cultivation resource transactions were suspended. For example, a material required for the cultivation of a secret technique in my sect can only be produced by the master of the Sky Splitting Stream within Mara Stream. Now that the war has halted, I can resume acquiring that material and continue my previously stalled secret technique cultivation. This Ceasefire Conference is not only a negotiation for a ceasefire but also an excellent opportunity for us Nascent Soul True Men to exchange ideas."

Luo Chen suddenly understood; so, that was the reason!

Langya Mountain was not originally a part of the Sea of Tranquility Alliance; it was forced to join after the war between the righteous and demonic paths began.

They had turned against the Sea of Tranquility Alliance, so Mara Stream would certainly not trade related resources with them.

Now, this was indeed an opportunity.

At this thought, Luo Chen suddenly asked, "I heard that the Primordial Demon Sect once passed down a method for creating Soul Essence, and most of the forces that mastered this technique are now within Mara Stream. I wonder, are they still continuing to produce Soul Essence?"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall became tense.

Langya True Person stroked his white beard and looked at Luo Chen with narrowed eyes.

"Soul Essence?"

"Fellow Daoist, are you also a remnant of the Primordial Demon Sect?"
