Chapter 858: Crossing the Golden Tiger, Entering Heaven Ascend, Welcomed by All
Bang!
A muffled sound echoed, and the massive cloud that had enveloped Liu Yun Mountain suddenly dispersed.
Numerous low-level cultivators in the mountains stood dumbfounded, witnessing this scene.
Soon after, many quickly realized what had happened.
"The Cloud Depth Unknown Array has been broken!"
"Could it be that Elder Kang has cracked the Supreme Elder's formation?"
"It must be him!"
Streams of figures began to gather towards the Cloud Veil Master's cave abode.
At the entrance of the cave, an aged figure had already impatiently entered the cave abode.
Having been there before, he was familiar with the general layout.
After bypassing several unimportant rooms, Kang Le Dao finally arrived at the hidden library.
He browsed for a long time, and his footsteps eventually stopped at a bookshelf.
In a prominent spot, a jade slip was placed there.
"Wine God Art!" Kang Le Dao's face lit up with joy. This was the secret technique of the Dieyun Sect, the Incarnation Technique, indeed recorded in the Supreme Elder's cave abode.
With this secret method, combined with the Dieyun Sect cultivators' own cultivation methods, the success rate of breaking through to the Core Spirit Stage would undoubtedly be much higher.
His persistence over the years had finally paid off!
Kang Le Dao's nose twitched, and his emotions were incredibly complex.
He was both delighted to have recovered the sect's secret technique and happy that his years of effort had been rewarded, but he also felt a hint of disappointment that his age might prevent him from breaking through to the Core Spirit Stage.
"Forget it, it's fortunate enough that the sect has a chance to continue."
Kang Le Dao sighed, carefully put away the Wine God Art, and turned to leave.
But as he turned, his peripheral vision suddenly froze.
"Huh! Why is there a jade box under the Wine God Art?"
He hadn't noticed it before, as all his attention had been focused on the Wine God Art. It was only now that he saw the jade box.
Kang Le Dao curiously picked up the jade box and covered it with his divine sense, detecting no restrictions.
Unprotected?
It seemed not to be something too important.
As these thoughts ran through his mind, Kang Le Dao opened the jade box.
Inside, three pills the size of dragon eyes lay quietly.
Next to them, a small piece of paper had three words written in messy handwriting.
【Incarnation Pill】
Kang Le Dao's entire body felt like it had been struck by lightning.
Incarnation Pill?
According to rumors, this was a pill that could greatly enhance Golden Core cultivators' ability to condense their Primordial Spirit? Was it real or fake?
Such an important item, how could it be placed so casually, and not even a single restriction was set? Countless questions arose amidst the enormous shock.
But when he saw the three words written in messy yet familiar handwriting, Kang Le Dao recognized it as the Supreme Elder's handwriting.
Indeed, the Supreme Elder had always been carefree, and aside from his love for drinking, he didn't pay much attention to cultivation. How could he care about the Incarnation Pill? However, for the Dieyun Sect, currently without a true person, the three Incarnation Pills were more valuable than anything else!
"My Dieyun Sect, there's hope for revival!"
Kang Le Dao murmured in a dazed tone.
...
Luo Chen left three Incarnation Pills.
It was a small compensation.
The spirit wine that Hei Wang had stolen from the Dieyun Sect was of immense value, considered the most important and vast foundation of the Dieyun Sect.
If used well, Luo Chen would benefit infinitely.
He had previously had thoughts of supporting the Dieyun Sect's disciples.
However, after personally witnessing the sect's bleak situation, he realized that no amount of support could compare to helping them produce a Primordial Spirit True Person!
With a Primordial Spirit True Person, the Dieyun Sect would not fall from its rank and would not be driven out of the Dieyun Region.
With a Primordial Spirit True Person, they could suppress all sides, and no one would dare to encroach.
With a Primordial Spirit True Person, if everyone worked together, they might even return to their peak.
Therefore, Luo Chen personally found the beneficial Wine God Art for them, hidden within the restrictions, and left behind three Incarnation Pills.
"Perhaps I still owe the Dieyun Sect a lot, but this is the best I can do for now."
Luo Chen sighed, transformed into a red light, and crossed the boundary between the Dieyun Region and the Windflower Domain.
On this day.
On Clearlight Mountain, a figure had been hidden for a long time.
Suddenly, the mountain's formation dispersed, and the figure floated into it.
"Brother Luo, you're back!"
Seeing the visitor, Fenghua Fairy revealed a sincere smile.
Luo Chen bowed slightly, "Three years without seeing you, congratulations on your great progress in cultivation!"
Fenghua Fairy smiled and waved her hand, "It's not much progress. I just had some free time, so I reflected on myself and made some changes. As for you, Brother Luo..."
Fenghua Fairy's eyes showed hesitation, as she felt a heart-palpitating sensation from Luo Chen.
It was as if he had become much stronger again? But Luo Chen had already been incredibly powerful before, so how could he improve further in just three short years?
Combat was like this; for Core Spirit cultivators, it was often something to avoid, as excessive fighting could affect their cultivation.
But without experiencing the trials of blood and fire, how could the flaws in one's own methods be discovered? In these three years, Luo Chen had not only restored his spiritual power and physical body to their peak state but had also created a Flame Escape Technique most suitable for himself.
As he reflected on himself, he gained even more confidence, and his demeanor became more composed.
Luo Chen avoided the topic and instead asked about the situation in the Luo Tian Sect.
Fenghua Fairy narrated the story, her words filled with praise.
"Although the Luo Tian Sect has few members, each one is steadfast in their determination, aspiring to the Great Dao. Given time, these tempered cultivators will surely become the backbone of the Luo Tian Sect!"
"If they produce a few more Primordial Spirit True Cultivators, even my Phoenix Bloom Palace might fall short in comparison."
Luo Chen smiled modestly, "You flatter me."
But in his heart, he was quite satisfied.
The Luo Tian Sect's current two hundred members were carefully selected from nearly ten thousand during its peak. Their loyalty to the sect was unparalleled.
A century of exile did not change their hearts, and living under others' roofs did not diminish their aspirations.
The most intense battle in twenty years further honed their skills and cultivation to perfection.
According to Fenghua Fairy, in just three short years of rest, the Luo Tian Sect produced two more Golden Core Cultivators.
One was Yao Mingyue, and the other, somewhat unexpectedly, was an Ice Fortress female cultivator brought by Heartless Fairy.
This was achieved in just three years. If given more time, their situation would undoubtedly improve!
After some contemplation, Luo Chen shifted his focus to the current situation.
The Sound Transmission Jade Pendant had limited capacity and couldn't convey all the information, leaving Fenghua Fairy with more to say.
At Luo Chen's inquiry, she proceeded to provide him with detailed information.
"The nine-day and nine-night battle at Heaven Ascending Pass three years ago was far more brutal than we imagined."
"Out of tens of millions of cultivators, only less than sixty percent survived the war! Our sects were fortunate to have avoided that conflict."
"Perhaps you, Brother Luo, don't feel the same way. Let's talk about the Primordial Spirit Cultivators at our level!"
"First, in the Five Regions of Heaven Ascend, the Wan Jian Pavilion Mountain Gate was destroyed, leaving only one Primordial Spirit Sword Cultivator who perished alongside the enemy. The Hundred Beasts Sect's Daoist Qin Bai Xiang survived, but his fourth-rank spirit pet, the Dusk Monkey, which he had cultivated for hundreds of years, was brutally killed by an enemy Demon Emperor. The elder from Dongyang Sect who was stationed at Mu Mansion escaped with severe injuries. Among the Five Regions, only our Windflower Domain and the White Crane Domain suffered relatively minor damage, but the White Crane Sect's Crane Emperor, I heard, is also in a difficult situation."
"
U
This was the young one whom Daoist Fu had high hopes for.
He was the future of Divine Symbol Sect!
For him, Daoist Fu was willing to pay a hefty price, even trading with Luo Chen for the Incarnation Pill.
Such a promising talent, now fallen? Luo Chen couldn't imagine how Daoist Fu must be feeling.
In the silence, Luo Chen inquired about the situation in the Abyss Sect.
A smile once again appeared on Fenghua Fairy's face.
"So, even the Divine Transformation Holy Land isn't as invincible as we imagined! Among the seven Primordial Spirit Cultivators who perished in Heaven Ascending Pass, five were from the Abyss Sect."
Luo Chen was surprised but quickly understood.
This outcome seemed illogical—how could the cultivators from the Divine Transformation Holy Land be so weak?
But Luo Chen, who had personally interacted with cultivators from another Holy Land, knew this was quite normal.
Due to their high status in the cultivation world, the Holy Land cultivators often enjoyed abundant resources and the best cultivation techniques, resulting in rapid progression, high cultivation levels, and diverse abilities.
However, their overly favorable external environment meant they rarely experienced life-and-death trials.
To address this, Divine Transformation Holy Lands often encouraged internal competition and held various competitions.
But ultimately, these competitions couldn't compare to the trials of blood and fire.
The Abyss Sect had sent out a large number of Primordial Spirit Cultivators, over thirty!
With such a large base, the death of five was nothing out of the ordinary.
But Luo Chen knew that the remaining cultivators could no longer be treated as "flowers in a greenhouse."
They had experienced war and witnessed death. As their combat experience increased, their abilities would surely refine and integrate.
Moreover, with the backing of the Holy Land, these surviving Primordial Spirit True Cultivators would undoubtedly surpass ordinary cultivators of the same level.
While the death of five seemed like a heavy loss in terms of numbers, it actually significantly enhanced the overall strength of the Abyss Sect.
Luo Chen shook his head inwardly, but he didn't refute Fenghua Fairy's schadenfreude.
After all, for this human-demon war, how many Primordial Spirit True Cultivators had died in the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness?
It was indeed a cause for schadenfreude!
It was time to kick them while they were down!
He adjusted his emotions and slowly spoke, "Tell me about the Divine Transformation Experts."
The smile on Fenghua Fairy's face gradually faded.
"
"They exchanged only one move, and the outcome was undecided.
"After that, the Ancient Demon Emperor Tian issued a decree for the demon race to retreat, and they withdrew tens of thousands of miles, leaving the Nine Realms empty as a buffer zone."
"According to reliable sources, the human and demon races may sign a ceasefire treaty once again after the ancient times!"
A ceasefire treaty?
Luo Chen took a deep breath, "Is the news really reliable?"
"It's reliable. I got this information from the Nine Spirit Lord." Fenghua Fairy spoke with certainty, hesitating for a moment before lowering her voice, "And the last time the Heaven Ascend Lord visited, I asked him about it."
"What did he say?"
"The Eastern Wilderness will welcome peace once again!" Fenghua Fairy affirmed.
Luo Chen nodded. The Heaven Ascend Lord had an excellent reputation and probably wouldn't lie.
Moreover, not only was the other party's cultivation realm high, but their seniority within the Abyssal Sect was also extremely high. They were from the same batch of cultivators as the Pill Sage.
They should have access to the most core inside information.
If the ceasefire treaty is established, the Eastern Wilderness may once again gain a peaceful tranquility after the ancient times.
This peace was something that numerous sects and countless cultivators had longed for.
"Did they mention the general content of the treaty?" Luo Chen asked.
Fenghua Fairy shook her head, "The Heaven Ascend Lord didn't go into details, but it should be about the ownership of the fifteen fallen realms, the conditions for initiating war, and the negotiations on how the two races will coexist in the future!"
"When?"
"It's probably very soon."
Luo Chen's eyebrows furrowed, "Soon?"
"
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, "Do you mean my spiritual pet, Emperor Butcher, might also be included in the negotiation terms?"
Before Fenghua Fairy could answer, Luo Chen chuckled to himself.
"Of course, the son of the Ancient Demon Emperor, how could he be reduced to being a human's mount?"
Fenghua Fairy nodded, as she had only later learned that the demon emperor enslaved by Luo Chen was actually the son of the Ancient Demon Emperor.
With this revelation, the value of that day's battle increased threefold.
He fought alone against five demon emperors!
Defeating three demons, capturing the son of the Ancient Demon Emperor, and forcing the Great Demon Emperor to retreat!
Such an illustrious record was no less impressive than that of Thunder Daoist, who came and went freely on the battlefield of Heavenward Pass.
Of course, she also understood why Luo Chen had left in a hurry three years ago.
It was because he didn't want to implicate the low-level cultivators of Luo Tian Sect and Fenghua Palace, fearing that the Ancient Demon Emperor's anger would affect them.
The culprit had left, but the son of the Ancient Demon Emperor remained.
Even if the Ancient Demon Emperor Tian himself came, with the Ancient Demon Emperor's honor, he wouldn't vent his anger on low-level cultivators.
"Not only is Dan Sect's Luo Chen powerful, but he's also righteous!"
Fenghua Fairy sighed in her heart.
...
Luo Chen didn't go to see anyone from Luo Tian Sect; instead, he returned to Great Green Mountain alone.
On Emperor Butcher, he said only one sentence, "Follow me!"
Then, Luo Chen ordered the other party to reveal its true form, and it carried him towards Heavenward Pass.
This time, Luo Chen did not conceal his whereabouts.
Instead, he boldly rode on the Golden Tiger, flying through the air.
Wherever they passed, the immense pressure of the Demon Emperor caused countless low-level cultivators returning from their journey to feel fear and panic.
But upon seeing the figure on the Golden Tiger's back, their hearts were at ease, and they were filled with reverence.
Even some of the more knowledgeable cultivators, who had heard the rumors over the past three years, recognized Luo Chen from afar.
They bowed to the Dan Sect from a distance.
Luo Chen smiled, continuing to swagger through the city.
For three years, because of Emperor Butcher, he had been filled with worry and fear, even fleeing thousands of miles away.
Now, by returning Emperor Butcher, he increased his reputation once again, making use of this 'useless' item.
As for Emperor Butcher's feelings after returning, whether it would resent Luo Chen for this 'humiliation'—
Haha, whether it resents or not, it doesn't matter anymore!
Moreover, Luo Chen deeply understood that this invitation from a powerful cultivator was not just about the ceasefire treaty.
It represented that one of the three most supreme ancestors of the Abyssal Sect would extend an invitation to him.
Would Luo Chen accept it?
The answer, in fact, goes without saying.
"Master, we've arrived at Heavenward Pass!"
A deep and sonorous voice came from below.
Luo Chen looked ahead, and the once-sprawling Thousand Year Fortified Pass was now in ruins, its walls collapsed, and the scene was desolate.
This was still the relatively better-off West District.
With Luo Chen's terrifying eyesight, he could even see the other districts.
The aftermath of the battle there was even more shocking.
One could imagine just how intense the nine-day and nine-night-long battle must have been.
"Not participating in this battle was both fortunate and regrettable!"
Luo Chen murmured, patting the Golden Tiger.
"Let's enter the city!"
The man and the tiger proceeded slowly.
Countless eyes followed them closely.
"Is that the Dan Sect?"
Slayer of Demon Emperors, defeating the Seven Rhinos, invincible in battles.
Riding the Golden Tiger, entering Heavenward Pass, welcomed by all.
This scene, filled with countless stories, was destined to be remembered by many cultivators for life!
