Chapter 848: Abyss Sect's Rushing Profound, Ceding Dan Luo

After the Shouyang Debate, the entire Heaven Ascending Pass was engulfed in a feverish atmosphere.

The grand decisive battle was approaching!

With this, no one dared to be lax.

The powerful cultivators from the surviving sects in the rear led countless Minor Cultivators, continuously surging towards Heaven Ascending Pass.

Not only Upper Stage Nascent Soul Sects, but also large numbers of Golden Core Sects, and even some Foundation Establishment Stage forces that couldn't make it to the forefront, were all included in the recruitment range.

The number of cultivators in Heaven Ascending Pass and the nearby Five Regions had already sharply decreased to below a million after the previous city-breaking grand battle.

However, with a daily influx of tens of thousands, it was like an inflated balloon, rapidly expanding.

Even the Abyss Sect had unknowingly gathered tens of thousands of Minor Cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm.

With so many cultivators stationed in Heaven Ascending Pass and the nearby Five Regions, they began constructing defensive fortifications and setting up Formation fortresses, quietly awaiting the demonic race army's offensive.

The reason for adopting a defensive stance instead of taking the initiative to attack was quite understandable.

In terms of numbers, the human race was at an absolute disadvantage. Once the battlefield expanded too much, they would be in a dangerous situation of being outnumbered.

But after the Abyss Sect joined the battle, the high-end combat power, especially in the Nascent Soul Realm, had already begun to surpass the demonic race.

Moreover, with the possession of such a formidable weapon as Formations, waiting for the enemy to initiate the attack was undoubtedly the best choice.

...

"Crane Emperor, you're too kind."

"It's nothing. These are just the white feathers I shed during my transformation, containing only the power of a single Nascent Soul strike. Compared to your assistance in my complete transformation, it's insignificant. If you don't accept it, that would be looking down on me."

"Indeed, Danzong, you should accept it! Even if you don't need it yourself, bestowing it upon your favored disciples would be a good choice. And this Walking on Void, I've heard that you've been collecting such body refinement techniques. Although it's incomplete, it might still provide some inspiration for you."

Facing the harmonious exchange between Xianhe True Immortal and the Crane Emperor, Luochen smiled and graciously accepted the white feather and the incomplete Walking on Void.

Speaking of which, the Crane Emperor of the White Crane Sect had wanted to pay him a visit ever since his complete transformation.

But after so many years, the two had never had the chance to meet.

It was only after the Shouyang Debate that the Crane Emperor took the initiative to visit, and he brought a rather valuable gift.

From this perspective, it was undoubtedly a result of Luochen's increased prestige and a stimulus different from the past.

"With the grand battle imminent, the City Lord's Mansion has decided to send us back to the White Crane Region, hoping that we can fully utilize the power of the White Crane Region, which has been cultivated for over a thousand years. In the short term, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to meet again." Xianhe True Immortal revealed a piece of information.

Luochen thought for a moment, "That's reasonable."

With the large number of cultivators from the rear forces supplementing Heaven Ascending Pass, and with the presence of numerous high-level Nascent Soul True Immortals, Xianhe True Immortal and the Crane Emperor didn't seem as crucial.

Sending them back to the White Crane Region was undoubtedly the most correct decision.

Subsequently, he smiled and said, "Compared to Heaven Ascending Pass, the Five Regions, though also a target of attack, are relatively safer. Your journey back will be more relaxed."

Xianhe True Immortal slightly nodded, stroking his beard and smiling, "Indeed, even with your formidable strength, Heaven Ascending Pass is reluctant to let go of people. They can't afford to go to the rear."

Luochen shrugged helplessly, "Even if we want to go, there's no place to go. Bai Li Qing Chuan was already a place of refuge, where else can our sect retreat to?"

As he spoke, his helpless expression gradually turned spirited with battle intent.

"During the last grand battle at Heaven Ascending Pass, I wasn't present and could only regretfully hear the news of the fall of Xiao Shiniang, Mu Zhenren, and other fellow cultivators. This time, our sect is personally here. If the demonic race wants to enter the city, they will have to pay a sufficient price!"

Xianhe True Immortal and the Crane Emperor exchanged a glance, and acknowledgment flashed in their eyes.

Luochen's reputation as a Demon-Slaying True Immortal was quite renowned.

The Fourth Stage Demon Sovereigns who had died at his hands were considered the strongest among their peers. As long as he didn't encounter a commanding-level Great Demon Sovereign... no, judging from Luochen's ability to withstand a strike from Thunder Daoist at Shouyang Mountain, even a Great Demon Sovereign might not be able to kill Luochen easily!

The three of them chatted for a while longer, until Luochen personally sent the two of them out of Dan Luo Mountain, concluding this private meeting.

Luochen stood in the mountains, watching as his old friend gradually departed, his expression filled with emotion.

Although the White Crane Region was safe, it was only relatively so.

After the grand battle, whether they would meet again depended on luck.

However, overall, Luochen was quite optimistic about this decisive battle.

With the Abyss Sect taking the initiative to step forward and unite the strength of the Eastern Wilderness, it was far better than the scattered Northern Sea Immortal World.

Dozens of Nascent Soul True Immortals, this alone, was something the current Northern Sea Immortal World couldn't compare to.

Although he was quite optimistic about this battle, after comparing it to the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect, Luochen couldn't help but shake his head.

The Heavenly Origin Dao Sect has ruled Zhongzhou for three thousand years, managing it with an iron fist, and a single continent can produce over two hundred Nascent Soul Immortals, overshadowing the other four continents!

Now, they dispatch their elite forces, launching an all-out offensive towards the North Sea.

In contrast, the Abyss Sect is forced to defend.

"Forget it, instead of overthinking, it's better to focus on ourselves."

"Recently, many people have come to visit me, increasing my prestige. This is a good thing. In the future, when facing the Abyss Sect's recruitment attempts, I'll have more confidence. However, this will take up some of my cultivation time."

There are gains and losses, and for a moment, Danzong Luochen couldn't complain.

He could only seize his free time to improve his strength as much as possible.

Regarding cultivation, even with the aid of high-grade Hongyuan Pills, he couldn't advance to the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul stage in a short period.

Therefore, Luochen focused on improving his weaknesses.

Previously, he was stuck at the Perfected level of the Moon Step, but with recent practice, he was rapidly advancing towards the Master level.

If he could master a combat technique at the Master level before the great battle, it would undoubtedly be a significant advantage.

Not only that, but he also spent his spare time with Wang Yuan, studying and perfecting the Wind Leg, attempting to master another body cultivation technique.

The Walking on Void technique came just in time.

...

On this day, the cultivators of Dan Luo Mountain gathered, awaiting Luochen's arrival.

Soon, Luochen emerged.

"What's going on? Weren't you supposed to be patrolling the western city of Ling Tian Pass? Why are you all back?" Luochen asked.

In response to Luochen's question, Zeng Yilong stepped forward.

"We were reassigned by the Abyss cultivators."

"Hmm?" Luochen was puzzled.

Zeng Yilong continued, "Our tasks have been taken over by the female cultivators of Divine Sound Mansion. They have the numbers, so we don't need to exert ourselves."

Not allowing the Heavenward Sect cultivators to handle matters—what did this mean? The Absolute Emotion Fairy beside him whispered, "Ling Tian Pass is preparing for battle. All shops have been ordered to cease operations. Pavilion Master Sima Hui'niang and Elder Gu are also leading their disciples towards Dan Luo Mountain."

This wasn't surprising. These shops were built in strategic locations, and once the great battle began, they would be suitable defensive structures to block invading demon beasts.

Luo Tian Treasure Pavilion was also included in the conscription.

As Luochen connected these events, he felt something was amiss.

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and walked out of the assembly hall, gazing into the sky.

The others didn't understand, but when a giant flying boat approached from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, they realized what was happening.

Someone from the City Lord's Mansion had arrived!

Luochen signaled, and Zeng Yilong flew up to meet them.

"Junior Saha Dragon Son, may I ask which senior is here?"

"Old man Rushing Profound of the Abyss Sect. Tell your master to come out and speak!"

Zeng Yilong was stunned.

But after Luochen's sound transmission, he immediately retreated.

A figure leaped into the sky, attracting the curious gazes of the low-level cultivators of the Abyss Sect, and headed towards a palace in the center of the flying boat.

As soon as he entered, several pairs of eyes turned towards him simultaneously.

There were six people, all at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Especially the one at the front, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, exuded a powerful aura without any concealment.

Rushing Profound Immortal!

Luochen knew this name. He was the Abyss Sect reinforcement that Jiu Ling Yanyun encountered.

This Great Cultivator had led five Abyss Sect Immortals and personally expelled Bi Zheng and other Demon Emperors from the Void Emperor Domain.

Rushing Profound Immortal had white hair, but his expression was naturally imposing. He stared at Luochen and said coldly, "You're Danzong Luochen?"

Luochen's expression remained calm, "Indeed, it's me."

Rushing Profound Immortal spoke with a loud voice, "I heard you took a blow from Zhang Shidi and emerged unscathed?"

Zhang Shidi? Luochen instantly realized that the Zhang Shidi they were referring to was Thunder Daoist.

His real name was Zhang Che, and although he was the most renowned among the traveling disciples of the Abyss Sect, he hadn't cultivated for a long time.

Therefore, despite his advanced cultivation level, his seniority within the Abyss Sect wasn't high.

Elders like the Ling Tian Lord and Rushing Profound Immortal were considered his senior brothers.

Luochen's voice deepened, "That's true. But, Rushing Profound, do you also want to test your skills?"

Upon hearing this, the curious gazes of the other five Nascent Soul Immortals instantly turned sharp.

The atmosphere in the room became tense due to Luochen's boldness.

Rushing Profound Immortal narrowed his eyes and stared at Luochen for a long moment.

Suddenly, he shook his head, "We might have the opportunity to meet as fellow sect members in the future, but it's not appropriate to fight now. I came here to inform you of one thing. Dan Luo Mountain must be handed over to us."

"Hmm?"

Luochen voiced his confusion.

Rushing Profound Immortal explained, "Regarding the upcoming great battle, I believe you understand the situation. It's not just Ling Tian Pass but also the nearby five regions that are within the attack range of the demon race's army. Currently, there are many powerful cultivators within the pass, and we don't lack one or two Nascent Soul Immortals. Instead, it's the other five regions that are lacking."

So, you can take the Luo Tian Sect cultivators and return to Bai Li Qing Chuan for defense."

"Is this the City Lord's Mansion's intention?"

"Yes! You shouldn't have any other thoughts either. I, an old man of Dan Luo Mountain, don't put much stock in them. On the contrary, the rear is relatively safer, and we can avoid the initial impact."

Luo Chen fell silent, as he had just been telling someone that he wanted to guard Ling Tian Pass and make those Demon Kings pay the price.

Seeing that Luo Chen wasn't speaking, Rushing Profound, Male's tone softened, and he spoke gently.

"Pill Sect Master, perhaps you have the ability to reach the heavens, but what about the cultivators under your command? You should consider them as well! This arrangement is more than fair to your Luo Tian Sect."

Someone nearby chimed in, "Yes, Pill Sect Master, we've heard that your Luo Tian Sect has suffered greatly, and it might not withstand too much turmoil. Retreating to the rear is undoubtedly a good thing."

Facing this agreement, Luo Chen suddenly smiled.

"Since it's the Abyss Sect's intention, and this Dan Luo Mountain has also relied on the Ling Tian City Lord's favor for many years, I, Luo, have been able to reside here for so long. If that's the case, then I'll let it go!"

"Please wait a moment!"

After saying this, Luo Chen waved his sleeve and left.

After he left, Rushing Profound, Male frowned.

He didn't say it was the Abyss Sect's intention; he had previously mentioned that it was the City Lord's Mansion's intention.

But it didn't matter!

...

A luxurious-looking cloud carriage slowly rose from Dan Luo Mountain.

It flew high into the sky, passing by the massive ship of the Abyss Sect.

Luo Chen stood on the deck of the cloud carriage, a smile on his face, and nodded to Rushing Profound, Male, who was looking down from the ship.

From then on, this Dan Luo Mountain, aside from its name, had little to do with Luo Chen.

After the cloud carriage passed by the ship, the smile on Luo Chen's face gradually faded.

"Senior Uncle, are we heading directly to Bai Li Qing Chuan next?" Zeng Yilong asked.

"First, we'll go and pick up your two senior aunts," Luo Chen instructed indifferently.

Zeng Yilong nodded and immediately went to inform the cultivators to change course.

Wang Yuan approached Luo Chen and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

Luo Chen asked in return, "What could possibly happen? Withdrawing to the rear is a good thing for us, isn't it?"

Wang Yuan shook his head, "It's good for the Luo Tian Sect, but for you, it's probably not ideal."

Luo Chen opened his mouth but didn't object.

If a great war were to break out, with his abilities and a bit of luck, he would undoubtedly be able to rise again by slaying demons and gaining fame.

Adding to the prestige he had accumulated before, he could definitely take it to the next level.

Especially now, in the Eastern Wilderness, aside from the Abyss Sect, all other major and minor sects had declined significantly. He could take advantage of the situation and gain even higher prestige and status.

By then, even if the Abyss Sect wanted to forcefully recruit him, they would have to pay a significant price.

But now, under the pretext of responding to a major battle, they had reassigned him away from the front lines. How could he accumulate more battle merits and enhance his reputation?

He didn't know if this was the Abyss Sect's deliberate arrangement or an unintentional mistake.

Or perhaps it was a deliberate mistake? But he couldn't oppose it.

Wang Yuan sighed, "It seems we've become a burden to you!"

Luo Chen waved his hand, "Don't say such things. Without you, there wouldn't be the me of today."

Wang Yuan's expression grew somber, "But now, we've truly become a burden."

When Luo Chen was at his weakest, they had relied on each other for support, and the Luo Tian Sect had protected him as he grew.

But as Luo Chen's cultivation soared, it was indeed becoming a burden now.

How could the Heavenly Capital Master represent all the sects and negotiate with the Ling Tian City Lord, even allowing the Abyss Sect to send aid to the various sects?

It wasn't just because he had the strength of a Great Cultivator, but also because he had the backing of a powerful Heavenly Capital Sect.

How could the Shou Yang Mountain cultivator initiate the Shou Yang Debate, even lifting the commercial restrictions of Ling Tian Pass and gaining immense prestige?

Wasn't it also because of the backing of the Dongyang Sect? But here, at Luo Chen's side, when he wanted to take another step forward, the weak Luo Tian Sect was holding him back.

Seeing Wang Yuan, who had always been strong and never admitted defeat, looking so dejected, Luo Chen tightened his lips.

"No!"

"It's true that the Luo Tian Sect is weak, but it's also a fact that I'm not strong enough!"

"If I were strong enough, I alone could surpass all cultivators!"

Wang Yuan stared at Luo Chen, and at this moment, on the young man's face, he didn't see the arrogance of the past days; instead, he saw the same insatiable ambition he had when his cultivation was low.

"Let's go. After we return, let's complete the Wind Leg together. I have a new understanding of the Walking on Void technique. By combining it with the Ethereal Sect's Wind God Three Techniques, we might be able to deduce a new Wind Leg!"

Luo Chen spoke with a loud voice, and his words didn't show any disappointment about being reassigned from Ling Tian Pass. Instead, he was full of ambition, seemingly ready to take on a grand endeavor.

Haha, it's just the completion of a single cultivation technique.

Wang Yuan smiled, "Then let's do it together!"
