Chapter 799: Divine Origin's Wound, Arrival at Ling Tian

"Please!"

With a single word, the atmosphere became deathly silent.

Divine Origin True Man stared at the solitary figure, falling into silence.

One, two, three—a total of three Nascent Soul Cultivators' worth of power.

The Nine Spirit Lord's cultivation was renowned among cultivators.

According to the intelligence, Luo Chen also possessed an extremely domineering strange fire, suspected to be close to the fifth rank.

Especially that mysterious aura hidden in the shadows, which had already merged with the heavens and earth, was the first to discover his trail.

"He has truly become a force to be reckoned with!"

The original intention was to observe in secret, and the talk of being a guest was merely a test.

Under these circumstances, it was no longer advantageous for him.

Divine Origin True Man took a deep look at Luo Chen and quietly withdrew.

Luo Chen did not stop him.

It wasn't that he was afraid, but he knew that the day would come when he would face Divine Origin True Man.

Moreover, he also had an ally at this moment.

The reason for not taking action was due to certain concerns.

Neither party had openly torn apart their relationship, and their intentions towards each other had not been publicly revealed.

In this situation, taking aggressive action would only create future troubles.

Furthermore, after truly meeting Divine Origin True Man, Luo Chen no longer had absolute confidence.

"A Late Stage True Spirit powerful cultivator with hostility, yet he exerts such immense pressure on me!"

Luo Chen gazed at the direction of the other's departure, exhaling a long breath of turbid air.

...

"He wasn't brought here by me!"

As soon as they returned, the Nine Spirit Lord immediately distanced himself.

Luo Chen nodded, not pursuing the matter further.

The Nine Spirit Lord heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes revealing a hint of apprehension as he asked, "Do you hold a grudge against the Five Elements Divine Sect's ancestor?"

"Killing their sect's most promising disciple who was about to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage in front of countless people, do you think there wouldn't be any grudges?" Luo Chen smiled and asked in return.

The Nine Spirit Lord furrowed his brows, not entirely convinced by this explanation.

Not just a single disciple!

When the Five Elements Divine Sect was forced to leave the Five Elements Region, countless outstanding disciples perished, and even two of the Five Peak Elders died, with one injured. Yet, that old fellow never personally took action.

At this moment, Luo Chen seemed to be in a relaxed mood. With a smile, he asked, "Regarding this Divine Origin person, do you have any insights about him?"

The Nine Spirit Lord thought for a moment before replying, "This person is extremely powerful. Among the countless cultivators in Dong Huang, aside from the powerful cultivators of the Mystic Abyss Sect, he is one of the top-notch existences. If not for the severe injuries he sustained during the battle at Cangwu Mountain, the Five Elements Divine Sect wouldn't have fallen into decline."

"Before that battle, he could almost single-handedly bring the declining Five Elements Divine Sect to the Nascent Soul Upper Realm."

"Leading his disciples and followers, he later personally instructed five Nascent Soul Realmen, completely dominating a region."

"Divine Origin True Man's personal strength and leadership abilities are both exceptional. Even those who were once on par with him, like the Joyful Union Old Ancestor and the Heavenly Extremes True Person, are not as capable. Only the Supreme Elder of the East Yang Sect can be compared to him."

"Precisely because of this, even though the world speaks of his severe injuries and the decline of the Five Elements Divine Sect, no one dares to provoke him."

Luo Chen quietly listened to the Nine Spirit Lord's description of his enemy.

Although there might be some bias, the Nine Spirit Lord was a top-tier powerhouse from Dong Huang, renowned for a long time. His words and demeanor revealed genuine admiration for Divine Origin True Man.

The fact that even he held such high regard for Divine Origin True Man spoke volumes about the latter's influence.

And such an existence happened to be his enemy!

"If you have a grudge against him, I think it's better to clarify it early on." The Nine Spirit Lord hesitated for a moment before saying earnestly, "If needed, I can act as a mediator and speak on your behalf."

Luo Chen laughed and asked, "If my grudge against him is enormous, will he give you this face?"

The Nine Spirit Lord knitted his brows.

But soon, he confidently said, "It's impossible now, but if I obtain the Nine Departure Pill and cultivate that grand technique, I believe Divine Origin True Man will give me this face."

Luo Chen burst into laughter.

"Never mind, let's talk about future matters in the future! This time, I'm truly grateful for your help."

As he spoke, he pushed the nine jade bottles containing the pills towards the Nine Spirit Lord.

"I won't let you down!"

The Nine Spirit Lord took a deep breath, accepting the nine jade bottles. He carefully examined them, comparing the color, patterns, and overflowing spiritual energy with the records in the sect's ancient books.

Finally, he could no longer contain his joy.

He gathered all the jade bottles and bowed with a fist in salute.

"Daoist Luo, thank you!"

Luo Chen smiled and waved his hand, saying, "In the future, if you need anything, feel free to come to me. On the path of cultivation, we should support each other and strive towards the Great Dao, right?"

"Absolutely!"

Facing Luo Chen's expression of goodwill, how could the Nine Spirit Lord not accept it?

Especially, the fact that the other party had the courage to face Shen Yuan at the early Nascent Soul Stage impressed him.

Such an exceptional person, as long as he doesn't fall, will undoubtedly be one of the top powerhouses in the Dong Huang cultivation world in the future.

"Then I'll take my leave."

"Please!"

Luo Chen personally saw the other party off the mountain, all the way to beyond the Hundred Mile Green River.

It could be said that he fulfilled the duties of a gracious host.

Just before leaving, Jiu Ling Yuan Jun suddenly spoke up.

"In my opinion, your cultivation far surpasses that of your peers, and you're even on par with middle-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators. In the future, you only need to cultivate diligently, and by the time you reach my level, you'll definitely be no less than me. Why bother seeking such extremes?"

"My cultivation method sounds good, but it has significant drawbacks. Incorporating extreme substances into the body disrupts the Three Treasures, causing immense suffering. People only know that I have great cultivation, but they don't recognize my divine abilities, and this is one of the costs."

"Fortunately, I obtained the Nine Departure Pill, which helped me break free from my shackles. I'm eternally grateful to the Nine Spirits."

"Therefore, I specifically advise you not to make a mistake!"

Without waiting for Luo Chen's reaction, Jiu Ling Yuan Jun left with a carefree demeanor.

Luo Chen was left standing there, deep in thought.

...

Inside the Inner Mansion.

Luo Chen silently recalled Jiu Ling Yuan Jun's final words, as if a divine light was flashing, but he couldn't quite grasp the key point.

Just then, clouds and mist filled the ground, and Black King cautiously emerged.

"Is that guy gone?"

Without lifting his head, Luo Chen asked, "Are you talking about Jiu Ling or Shen Yuan?"

Seeing his master's calmness, Black King also breathed a sigh of relief.

"It must be that old guy, Shen Yuan!"

Luo Chen no longer paid attention to Jiu Ling Yuan Jun's final words of advice and looked at Black King, who had been startled awake.

"How did you sense him? Even I and Jiu Ling Yuan Jun didn't notice his arrival. If it weren't for your notification, I might have remained unaware."

As Luo Chen spoke, a hint of lingering fear appeared on his face.

No matter how others praised the strength of a late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, it was ultimately just a concept, too vague.

But when facing Shen Yuan directly, he felt that indescribable pressure.

It was not only cultivation but also the oppression of the divine soul! The other party could arrive silently and unnoticed at the Hundred Mile Green River, and even the local protective grand formation was not disturbed.

This showed the strength of his divine soul! But strangely, despite his hidden movements, Black King had discovered him.

In response to Luo Chen's question, Black King was initially stunned, then became smug.

"He was so conspicuous, like a candle in the night, and I was awakened by his noise."

Luo Chen was taken aback. "Very conspicuous?"

"Yes, when that old guy moves, the surrounding heavenly energy eagerly rushes towards him. Although he forcefully suppresses this tendency, the abundant spiritual energy within a hundred miles of Great Green Mountain is all under my control. If someone tries to take over, I naturally sense it."

As Black King spoke, he still looked quite angry.

The abundant spiritual energy within a hundred miles of Great Green Mountain was attracted by him while he slept.

If someone wanted to take control, he would definitely be unhappy.

"Are you sure it's just spiritual energy?"

Black King paused, carefully recalling, and gradually became uncertain.

"It seems like it's not just spiritual energy?"

Luo Chen didn't ask further, but he already had a certain guess in his heart.

It wasn't spiritual energy but the world's primordial energy! In other words, the world's energy!

While it sounds like a good thing for the world's energy to come to him willingly, it's actually not a good thing at all!

The world's energy is purely domineering yet incredibly chaotic.

It is the fundamental energy that gives rise to all things in the world, and it contains various attributes of spiritual energy.

Nascent Soul Cultivators cannot effectively utilize this power.

In the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, Luo Chen, due to his understanding of the true meaning of withering and flourishing, absorbed a strand of world energy, and until now, he still hasn't completely refined it.

This shows how difficult it is!

Through this experience, Luo Chen gained a deeper understanding of the world's energy.

Only Divine Transformation Cultivators can control and utilize this power, drawing out the desired attributes of spiritual energy like peeling a cocoon.

Nascent Soul Cultivators should avoid it as much as possible, preferably using the Purple Mansion as a barrier to isolate themselves.

Ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators, if enveloped by a large amount of world energy, will have only two outcomes.

Either they will advance to the Divine Transformation Stage, or their Nascent Soul will be assimilated by the world, becoming world energy themselves!

Given Shen Yuan True Man's cultivation level, he is probably still far from the Divine Transformation Stage.

So, only the latter possibility is likely.

"It seems that during the battle at Cangwu Mountain, he didn't die, but he didn't fare well either!"

"The world's energy rushing towards him indicates that his physical body has suffered greatly, and even the Purple Mansion, which protects the Nascent Soul, has malfunctioned, unable to perfectly isolate the inside from the outside.

So, when facing the three of us, he chose to retreat. Otherwise, if a fight were to break out, it would be hard to predict the outcome, but it would definitely worsen his injuries."

"If that's the case, then perhaps dealing with him won't be as difficult as I imagined?"

As Luo Chen pondered this, he subconsciously curled his fingers.

A hint of profound aura flickered in and out of sight.

Black King's eyes widened in surprise!

...

The days of secluded cultivation eventually came to an end.

Living off others without contributing was not an option; one had to pay a price for it.

The Heavenward Sect must send people to perform patrol duties at the Lingtian Pass, and they couldn't delay any longer.

Two years ago, it should have been the Heavenward Sect's turn.

But the Ling Tian City Lord had suppressed them, so they had enjoyed two years of peace.

Now, it was finally their turn.

In the grand hall of the Heavenward Sect, Li Yingzhang faced the disciples of the Mingyuan Sect, who were directly under the command of the Ling Tian City Lord, with a respectful expression.

However, his words were filled with reason and determination.

"Why do we need to send so many people this time?"

The young cultivator in the dark-colored Daoist robe replied coldly, "Times change; before, you were merely a Golden Core power, but now you have Nascent Soul Powerhouses, so it's only natural to contribute more."

Li Yingzhang was speechless.

He had never expected the reason to be this.

Just then, Luo Chen entered the hall.

Li Yingzhang hurriedly greeted him.

"Supreme Elder!"

"Hmm, I already know about the situation."

Luo Chen waved his hand and looked at the young cultivator.

The young cultivator's cold demeanor softened slightly, and he bowed to Luo Chen.

"Ye Hong pays his respects to Elder Luo!"

"Are you a descendant of the Ling Tian City Lord?" Luo Chen asked with a smile.

Ye Hong nodded, "My ancestor is indeed the City Lord."

Luo Chen seemed deep in thought and then asked, "Is this also the will of the Ling Tian City Lord?"

Ye Hong immediately explained, "Indeed. In the past two years, my ancestor used the excuse that the Heavenward Sect needed to consolidate its strength after advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage to delay the patrol duties. But now, with the increasing pressure at the Lingtian Pass, you can no longer afford to rest and recuperate."

So that was the case.

Luo Chen understood the Ling Tian City Lord's intentions.

If the Heavenward Sect wanted to have the prestige of a Nascent Soul Stage sect, it should naturally shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.

Otherwise, if they only enjoyed the benefits without taking on responsibilities, other sects would look down upon them.

Two years, in the current situation, was already a long time.

Luo Chen's reputation had gradually grown.

"Since that's the case, the Heavenward Sect will send the appropriate personnel!"

Ye Hong heaved a sigh of relief, "Elder, you truly understand justice. I will return and report this."

"Tian Xuan will see him off."

"Okay."

Tian Xuan, who was standing by the side, personally saw Ye Hong off from the Great Green Mountain, and took the opportunity to say some good words to ease the previously strained relationship.

After they left, Li Yingzhang informed Luo Chen of the number of personnel the Heavenward Sect needed to send.

100 Late-stage Qi Condensation Cultivators, and if not enough, twice the number of Mid-stage Qi Condensation Cultivators.

20 Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, and if not enough, three times the number of Late-stage Qi Condensation Cultivators.

3 Golden Core Cultivators, with no room for shortage. Any sect with a strong foundation would have at least three Golden Core Cultivators.

If they didn't have this number, they wouldn't be worthy of being called a Golden Core Sect.

The Heavenward Sect currently had only about three hundred people, and sending so many at once would almost mobilize nearly half of their personnel.

If something were to go wrong, the Heavenward Sect would suffer a heavy blow.

After learning of these conditions, Luo Chen asked about the number of personnel sent by other Nascent Soul Stage sects.

The answer was even more severe!

"It seems that the Ling Tian City Lord has treated us quite well." Luo Chen nodded slightly.

Li Yingzhang smiled bitterly, "We can send out three Golden Core Cultivators, and twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators with some effort, but it's the Late-stage Qi Condensation Cultivators at the bottom that we don't have enough of!"

Luo Chen wasn't worried about this.

"Just pick fifty of them."

Li Yingzhang was puzzled.

They were already sending fewer people than other Nascent Soul Stage sects, and now they were reducing the number even further?

Then, he saw Luo Chen stand up and casually wave his wide sleeves.

"I'll go there myself, which is equivalent to fifty Qi Condensation Cultivators."

Li Yingzhang was astonished.

The Supreme Elder was personally going, and fifty Qi Condensation Cultivators were nothing compared to him.

But...

Luo Chen smiled, "After tranquility, it's time for action. I should also go to the Lingtian Pass to see the situation at the front lines. I believe the people there will welcome me!"

A renowned Alchemy Sect master personally going to the front lines.

Who would refuse?
