Chapter 859: Joining the Abyss Sect, Changes at Biyou Mountain

Chapter 859: Joining the Abyss Sect, Changes at Biyou Mountain

Sunlight filtered through the crystal, casting a kaleidoscope of light in the resplendent hall.

The towering palace ceiling was adorned with intricate murals, depicting powerful figures summoning wind and rain, and mighty demons crossing mountains and seas. Swords and knives, blood and fire, were scattered throughout, as if narrating the glories of the human race's wars in the Eastern Wilderness.

In the center, there was a blank area, like a space left open, perhaps waiting for new content to fill it.

Luo Chen stood quietly in the hall, his gaze sharp as he observed everything around him.

He had never known that such a place existed within the Heaven Ascend Pass.

If not for the personal guidance of the Heaven Ascend Lord, he might never have entered this Celestial Water Pavilion.

A

Once, Luo Chen had directly asked the Heaven Ascend Lord how they would deal with the Frost Demon Empress if she joined the battle.

The response was straightforward: "We only fear she doesn't come!"

At that time, Luo Chen didn't understand the Heaven Ascend Lord's confidence.

Later, after witnessing the Xuanwu Quadrant Array, he thought that was the source of the Heaven Ascend Lord's confidence.

However, when the Xuanwu Quadrant Array was forcibly broken by the massive beast tide and the combined efforts of the five commanders, he realized that the array might not be enough to stop the Frost Demon Empress, let alone capture her!

Now, Luo Chen finally understood the source of the confidence.

A Divine Transformation powerhouse!

It turned out that within the Heaven Ascend Pass, there had always been a Divine Transformation powerhouse personally overseeing the situation.

I

After all, it was he who led the assault on Cangwu Mountain back then!

"How patient he must be!" Luo Chen muttered to himself.

At that moment, Luo Chen's divine soul was startled.

When he looked up, he saw an elderly man in black robes sitting above in the Celestial Water Pavilion.

"Are you Luo Chen?"

Luo Chen felt a chill and bowed his head. "Junior pays respects to the Ancestor!"

The Abyss Sect was the only Divine Transformation Holy Land in the Eastern Wilderness, nominally leading all sects. Even the authority to mint spirit stones and the major wars required the Abyss Sect's approval.

As one of the three great ancestors of the Abyss Sect, his status and prestige were not limited to the sect alone.

In the entire Eastern Wilderness, anyone who saw him would respectfully call him "Ancestor."

I

However, after the question and answer, the hall fell into a silent atmosphere.

Luo Chen felt a gaze scanning him from head to toe, inside and out, as if nothing could be hidden.

Such scrutiny was overly presumptuous and rude!

But Luo Chen was familiar with it, as he often scrutinized those of lower realms in the same way.

After a while!

A light laugh came from above, filled with approval.

"Excellent! You are truly excellent!"

Luo Chen kept his head low, not speaking.

T

Luo Chen shook his head, "I do not know."

"

However, Luo Chen, who had reached the Core Spirit stage and was a wanderer cultivator, couldn't be that simple-minded?

He didn't bother with pretense and asked directly, "Have you met Chu Yan?"

"I have."

"Privately?"

"No, only in public settings twice."

"Why did she publicly bestow the Heavenly Insight Pill upon you?"

"Junior does not know, perhaps it's because the Pill Sage saw me as a fellow alchemist and favored me."

"Pill Sage, Pill Sage, ha ha..."

T

He scrutinized Luo Chen again, memories of his many deeds in the Eastern Wilderness floated in his mind, his face showing a mix of admiration and sighs.

Seekers of the Dao are numerous, but those who attain it are few.

Those who achieve success in alchemy are often extraordinary.

Either extraordinarily talented or extraordinarily persistent, so what about Luo Chen?

"Would you be willing to join our Abyss SectSTaken aback, Luo Chen said, "I am already a guest scholar of the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect, it might not be appropriate..."

T

Luo Chen's lips moved, but he didn't contradict, nor did he directly agree.

T

Such an attitude, seemingly soft but with a firm undertone, madeDoDo you want to set conditions?

It makes sense. For a wanderer to have such a reputation, even surpassing the most outstanding of the Abyss Sect's Thunder Daoist, how could he not have a bit of pride?

Even if he invited them with the prestige of a great master, there was no way the other party would be scared into joining the Abyss Sect.

When Chu Yan left for Zhongzhou, what conditions did the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect offer to convince her?

"Join the Abyss Sect, and I'll bestow upon you a divine technique, secret arts, and provide you with abundant cultivation resources!"

"Join the Abyss Sect, and you can have your pick of servants and beautiful concubines!"

"Join the Abyss Sect, and I'll put you in charge of the Alchemy Sage Pavilion. All the alchemy texts left by Chu Yan will be given to you."

"In the future, if you wish to achieve the Incarnation stage, including myself, the three grandmasters of the Abyss Sect will assist you with all our might!"

A

These were the conditions he offered, and he would only do so once.

If the other party still didn't understand, then they couldn't blame him...

"Grandmaster, I have over two hundred people from the Luo Tian Sect with no place to go. I can't abandon them and join the Holy Land." Luo Chen said.

He had thought Luo Chen was a lone cultivator, but he hadn't expected there to be over two hundred ants relying on him.

Such loyalty and righteousness.

"This is easily done!"

T

Luo Chen raised his head and bowed.

"Since it is so, then I, the junior, am willing to join the Abyss Sect!"

Upon hearing this, the black-robed elder was delighted and exclaimed thrice:

"Good! Good Good!"

Luo Chen's pill concoction skills were initially questioned by some, but as he repeatedly helped others refine various high-level pills, no one doubted him anymore.

Especially!

He was so young!

Barely over two hundred years old!

If he joined them, even if he couldn't achieve the Incarnation stage, he could still serve the Abyss Sect for seven to eight hundred years.

With this, he would fill the void left by the Alchemy Sage's departure.

If he achieved the Incarnation stage, it would be like adding wings to a tiger for the Abyss Sect, and the benefits would be immeasurable!

A

A drop of water suddenly appeared.

In an instant, it entered Luo Chen's forehead when he was unprepared.

"What is this?!" Luo Chen was both surprised and angry.

"Thank you, Grandmaster, for your gift."

T

"Leave your spiritual beast behind!"

This was to be expected, and Luo Chen wasn't surprised.

With a thought, the Emperor Butcher who had been waiting outside entered the hall.

Facing the Incarnation stage master, the Emperor Butcher only took a glance before falling to the ground, revealing his true form.

A massive golden tiger, now appearing so small and fragile.

"You may go now. We'll meet again when you negotiate with Biyu Mountain!"

Luo Chen nodded and left the Celestial Water Pavilion with a calm expression, not paying attention to the Emperor Butcher's pleading gaze.

...

As soon as he stepped out, a hearty laughter reached his ears.

"Alchemy Master, long time no see!"

Luo Chen recognized the Heaven Ascend Lord who had brought him here.

He forced a smile, "What do you mean by long time? It's only been three years."

"A day apart feels like three autumns, let alone three years?" The Heaven Ascend Lord laughed and said warmly, "But from now on, we are fellow sect members. You can visit me anytime."

Such enthusiasm was hard to refuse.

Luo Chen pulled at the corners of his mouth but said nothing.

"Let's go, it's rare for Fellow Daoist Luo to return. How can we treat you slowly? I've prepared a banquet at the City Lord's Manor. All the famous and influential people in the city have been invited. They all wish to catch a glimpse of you. You don't know, but in the three years since your battle in the Windflower Domain, your fame has spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness..."

With the Heaven Ascend Lord's enthusiastic invitation, Luo Chen had no choice but to follow him to the City Lord's Manor.

Regarding the other party's change in address to "Fellow Daoist," Luo Chen didn't refute it.

He knew that when he walked out of the Celestial Water Pavilion, many things had already been decided.

Some matters were difficult to refuse.

At least before he accepted, he had already done his best to maximize his value.

The promised conditions were far beyond what most could imagine.

Even the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect might not have valued Luo Chen this much.

With this, what reason was there to refuse?

The banquet set up by the Heaven Ascend Lord was indeed a grand feast! All those in attendance were Golden Core True Cultivators.

Luo Chen's familiar friends, such as the Nine Spirit Lord, Deng Taiyue, and Lin Qingxuan, were also invited.

Not only that, but even the Abyssal Sect had two other Grand Cultivators in attendance, namely Chong Xuan Zhenren and Hanyang Zhenren.

When they saw Luo Chen seated at the head, sitting side by side with the Heaven Ascend Lord, and even overshadowing Chong Xuan, Hanyang, and Tiandu Zizi, the crowd was astonished, but no one dared to question it.

They knew that just before this, Luo Chen had been summoned by the Abyssal Ancestor.

For a renowned wild pill master like him, how could the Abyssal Sect not be moved?

In the past, when the Heaven Ascend Lord had invited him, Luo Chen had politely declined.

Now, with a Divine Transformation expert personally extending the invitation, the etiquette was impeccable, and the other party should have already accepted.

With his status elevated, it was only natural that he would be above everyone else.

Moreover, Luo Chen's reputation and glorious achievements over the years also gave him the qualification to sit at the head.

Amidst the clinking of cups and the exchange of toasts, everyone was openly and secretly trying to curry favor with Luo Chen.

Of course, there were also those who were disappointed.

Like Fu Laowu, and Tiandu Zizi.

The former was devastated because his beloved disciple had perished in the great war, while the latter sighed with regret.

In the shadow of a holy land, who could rise to prominence? It was already difficult enough for a talented Alchemy Sage to emerge, and now even he had been lured away by the holy land.

After the great war, the various sects and clans in the Eastern Wilderness were severely weakened, but the Abyssal Sect remained unscathed.

Once the ceasefire treaty was signed, perhaps the Eastern Wilderness would become like Zhongzhou, completely falling under the influence of the Abyssal Sect.

During the banquet, Luo Chen calmly observed everything, peacefully accepting Chong Xuan Zhenren's decision to return Danluo Mountain to him.

He expressed his sympathy for the fierce battle at Heaven Ascend Pass.

Regarding Bai Li Qingchuan's battle that had shocked his peers, Luo Chen briefly glossed over it.

Luo Chen's demeanor was as light as the clouds and wind, a fitting description for his conduct today.

However, upon returning to the long-missed Danluo Mountain, Luo Chen's expression turned gloomy.

...

His warm fingers touched the icy center of his eyebrows.

There, a droplet-shaped pattern was etched, lifelike and vivid.

"I've already agreed to join the Abyssal Sect, why resort to such methods?"

"Protection?"

"Restraint!"

F

In his memory, there was an old man who resembled a wealthy patriarch, and he had also spoken similar words.

"Luo Chen, is that you?"

"Are you Luo Chen?"

And their actions were so similar.

E

"But, do you really think this method can suppress me?"

Luo Chen coldly snorted in his heart, already having an idea to resolve this simple restriction.

By severing his soul, removing his head, and refining the droplet with Fifth Rank Withering Flourishing Divine Fire, he could regain his freedom! Even if things didn't go as planned, at worst, he would lose his head!

With his ancient body capable of regrowing limbs and regenerating flesh, he could easily reconstruct his head.

However, this thought came and went quickly.

I

Luo Chen calmed down and carefully analyzed the meeting earlier.

"If you're sincerely trying to recruit me, why resort to such petty behavior?"

"He mentioned Dan Sage Chu Yan multiple times in his speech, could it be that he's afraid I'll follow in the footsteps of the Dan Sage?"

"That's right, I've always had a connection with the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect."

"Or perhaps he's not lacking in ambition, but testing me?"

L

He had always despised such behavior in his life!

But the conditions offered by the Abyssal Sect were indeed good, and under the pressure of a powerful expert, this was the best treatment he could have hoped for.

In the end, he was burdened by the Heavenward Sect.

Inevitably, Luo Chen thought of this.

If not for the Heavenward Sect's entanglement, he could have escaped far away, and wouldn't have been pressured by a Divine Transformation expert.

Of course, he also never expected a powerful expert to stoop so low, using divine abilities to restrain him.

But with this, Luo Chen would never allow the Heavenward Sect to enter the Abyssal Holy Land.

"After the war subsides, I'll find another place to settle the Heavenward Sect, far away from the Abyssal Sect. In the future, if there are any changes, I can come and go as I please."

Luo Chen thought silently.

H

"Wait?"

Luo Chen was startled.

Where did the Eastern Wilderness get thirty-six regions?

Currently, only twenty-one regions were under the control of the human race, and among them, many were still unsuitable for Nascent Soul Upper Sects due to the aftermath of the war.

The remaining fifteen regions were all under the control of the demonic tribes!

"Could it be that the meeting between the two races at Biyu Mountain will bring about new changes?"
