Chapter 890: The Sect's Future, The Youth on the Black Tiger

"Over there, is that the Five Elements Mountain?"

In a forest that blocked out the sun, a white-robed cultivator stood on a tree branch, gazing through the gaps in the leaves at the five towering mountains in the distance, and at the divine mountain that soared into the clouds in the center.

With Luo Chen's experience, even from a distance of several hundred li, he could see through the feng shui patterns and the secrets of the earth's energy circulation.

The Five Elements Mountain, as the name suggested, was divided into five sections, each representing one of the five elements.

Surrounding the Shen Yuan Mountain, they were both protected by it and providing offerings to it.

Under the circulation of the five elements, the Shen Yuan Mountain was supplied with a vast amount of heaven and earth's spiritual energy.

Speaking of which, this method of nurturing a spiritual land was somewhat similar to the Five Peaks Enclosure of the Qing Dan Valley, but the arrangement was far, far superior.

From the shoulder of his left arm, Black King's voice echoed, "Five Elements God Sect returned to its old site seven years ago and reopened its mountain gate, recruiting disciples and followers on a large scale. Although they have not yet recovered to their peak state, they have gradually regained their essence energy. It is said that the Sect Master, Divine Flame Immortal, has selected ten Golden Core Cultivators for special training, aiming to cultivate several Nascent Soul Masters for the sect within a hundred years. Not only that..."

Listening to the intelligence gathered by Black King over the years, Luo Chen could feel the tremendous effort Divine Flame had put into the sect's revival.

If it were in the past, he might have admired the correctness of the other party's every move.

But at this moment, he could only give a cold laugh.

"Haha."

After laughing, Luo Chen turned and left.

Black King was a little surprised, "Master, aren't you going to cause trouble for that old man?"

There were some things that no one mentioned, but Black King knew that Luo Chen was also aware of them.

The sudden joint attack by the Three Demon Emperors on Luo Chen was not without reason.

Although they all had their own reasons, such as the Void Accumulating Flower, taking revenge for Ao Huan, and avenging their father and brother...

But how could these reasons so coincidentally lead to their cooperation? Huang Man had already fled to the Million Great Mountains, so how could he have received the news in advance and come to attack Luo Chen?

Bi Zheng was in the Five Elements Domain, delayed by the Five Elements God Sect, so how did he break free from his restraints and travel across ten thousand li to launch an attack?

There must have been someone who acted as a liaison! And that person's identity had already been exposed when the heavenly light dissipated and the black shadow appeared.

Shen Yuan Zhenren!

Luo Chen would not mistake him, even though his attention had been drawn away by Qing Shuang at the time. The fleeting appearance and hasty escape of Shen Yuan Zhenren were still fresh in his memory.

At this moment, with his enemy before him, he turned and left, and Black King couldn't help but be curious.

It was known that his master had never been a broad-minded person.

In the forest, a strong wind blew, stirring up waves of pine trees.

The white-robed cultivator's unrestrained black hair fluttered in the wind, a cold smile on his lips.

"Rest assured, there will be that day!"

After saying this, he turned and left without a second glance.

For the current Luo Chen, his fear of Shen Yuan Zhenren was gradually diminishing.

Perhaps before, he could only barely manage a few moves against him.

But now, after cultivating his life-saving technique and reaching the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul stage, with the help of various means, he was confident that he could fight him on equal footing.

However, to completely eliminate Shen Yuan Zhenren, Luo Chen still lacked some assurance.

Shen Yuan Zhenren was different from the great demon emperors like Huang Man. He was a human Nascent Soul Master with profound cultivation.

The key was that the cultivators of the Five Elements God Sect were renowned in the Eastern Wilderness for their numerous techniques.

They could effortlessly use the Five Elements Techniques and command countless treasures.

Even Qing Shuang had failed to capture him, and both Elder Lianhua and Elder Huiping had died in Cangwu Mountain, while Shen Yuan had survived, which was enough to show how formidable his methods were.

Luo Chen would not act unless he was certain of a thunderous victory, leaving no room for future troubles.

Indeed, now was not the time to make a move.

However, causing a little trouble was not a difficult task.

...

In the Shen Yuan Mountain.

The Sect Master, Divine Flame Immortal, led ten Golden Core Cultivators into the Supreme Elder's cave abode.

"Elder Brother, these are the ten disciples I have carefully selected. Each of them has exceptional talent and formidable cultivation."

"The key is that they have all experienced the battle between humans and demons, and their willpower is unparalleled!"

"With some additional resources for cultivation, they will surely have the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage!"

The three essential elements of cultivation were willpower, talent, and fortune.

For ordinary people, there were always differences in these aspects.

But for privileged disciples of a sect, they naturally possessed all three elements, and none could be lacking.

At this moment, Divine Flame Immortal had brought these people to ask the Supreme Elder for fortune.

Shen Yuan's deep gaze swept over the ten disciples.

There were old and young, male and female, and their auras were indeed different from ordinary Golden Core Cultivators.

With this foundation, they had great potential to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

He took out a storage bag and casually handed it to Divine Flame.

"Take it!"

Divine Flame's face lit up, and he quickly took the storage bag.

However, as his spiritual sense probed the contents, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Elder Brother, is this a little too little? Not to mention the Five Elements Divine Pill, but just the spirit marrow, which is the most important for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, why is there only one portion for each person?"

These Nascent Soul Upper Sect cultivators had various methods for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, not limited to the so-called Infant Formation Pills.

They often developed special auxiliary items for infant formation based on their own cultivation characteristics.

For example, the Three Pure Yang Qi of the Dong Yang Sect, or the Spirit Wine Infant Green of the Die Yun Sect, might not be as simple and direct as the Infant Formation Pills, but when combined with their respective cultivation techniques, they were not much different.

The Five Elements God Sect, on the other hand, had a relatively common but rare method.

The sect had been established for a shorter time than many ancient sects in the Eastern Wilderness, yet it had produced several Nascent Soul Masters.

At its peak, it even had a formidable lineup of five Nascent Soul Masters and a powerful cultivator! But the secret method for converting spirit marrow had always been in the hands of the Supreme Elder, Shen Yuan Zhenren, and the people below only provided the materials.

This was the reason why Shen Yuan, in the midst of the sect's crisis, temporarily took over the position of the Sect Master, but still sought out Shen Yuan Zhenren to cultivate his disciples.

He lacked Spirit Marrow!

At his junior's dissatisfaction, Shen Yuan let out a cold harrumph.

"The Five Elements Spirit Marrow is of great importance to my cultivation, and I've already consumed a significant amount over the past hundred years. With these ten portions, aren't you still unsatisfied?"

A cold harrumph silenced the crowd, leaving them as quiet as cicadas in winter.

Some, overwhelmed by the pressure, nearly knelt.

Shen Huo gritted his teeth and persisted, "Senior Brother, it's truly not enough!"

"You..."

Shen Yuan was about to reprimand him when he felt a sudden heart palpitation.

He paused, and his immense divine sense suddenly spread out.

Ten li, a hundred li, a thousand li... At the limit, he covered an area of tens of thousands of li, and half of the vast Five Elements Realm was enveloped.

However, he found nothing.

Shen Yuan slowly retracted his divine sense, puzzled by the source of the heart palpitation.

His gaze met his junior, Shen Huo, who was still insisting, and a hint of disdain flashed in his heart.

Could it be that after telling him about his situation the other day, this junior had developed thoughts he shouldn't have? He felt that he couldn't possibly break through the Divine Transformation Realm and was already on the path to decline, so he came to demand the Five Elements Spirit Marrow, which was of great importance to his cultivation, in order to nurture the sect's future?

But what did the sect's future have to do with Shen Yuan? At this moment, only breaking through the Divine Transformation Realm could save him.

Moreover, he had already given enough for the sect in his lifetime, so why should he have to continue giving when he was old? These people never knew when to be satisfied!

A slight smile curved Shen Yuan's lips, and his profound cultivation power, like an abyssal ocean, rippled gently.

An immense pressure enveloped the entire cave abode.

Those within felt as if a mountain had collapsed upon them, and they struggled to maintain their composure.

Shen Huo's face changed, and he even sensed a hint of killing intent.

Plop! Before the others could kneel, Shen Huo was the first to prostrate himself before Shen Yuan.

"Senior Brother!"

"No more!"

"We don't want it anymore!"

Shen Yuan looked down at him, and the terrifying pressure suddenly dissipated.

"If you want it, how can I not give it to you?"

"I was just testing their character to see if it's as good as you said. Now it seems that they are indeed exceptional talents, far better than you."

"Here, there are forty portions of Spirit Marrow, plus the previous ten. Each of you can have five portions."

"One portion of Spirit Marrow can shorten your cultivation by ten years, and five portions should be more than enough. I also have a secret technique I've researched, which, when taken together, can bring the Three Treasures of Essence, Qi, and Spirit into perfect balance. Take it as well!"

As he spoke, two more storage bags flew towards Shen Huo.

Shen Huo, his face ashen, cautiously raised his head and glanced at his senior brother before daring to accept the storage bags.

"Senior Brother, I..."

"I'm tired. You all can leave now."

Shen Huo nodded, holding the precious resources he had obtained and leading the ten disciples away from the cave abode.

Only after descending from Shen Yuan Mountain did he realize that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

He turned to look at the ten disciples.

Shen Huo remained silent for a while before letting out a bitter laugh.

"Just now, I made you all a laughingstock."

One of the female disciples stepped forward and said, "The Sect Master's grace is like a red thread, and I will remember it forever!"

Ever since she lost to Sazha Longzi on the Battle Platform, Qi Emei had been diligently cultivating. She had now reached the sixth layer of the Golden Core and was also one of the ten Nascent Soul seeds chosen this time.

She spoke frankly, "The might of the Supreme Elder is immeasurable. The Sect Master also lost face for our sake, so how could it be a laughing matter?"

The others also chimed in, not finding anything shameful in Shen Huo's earlier kneeling and pleading.

They all knew right from wrong.

Shen Huo smiled with relief, scanned the three storage bags, and evenly divided the various resources into ten portions, distributing them to the crowd.

When it came to the secret technique that complemented the Spirit Marrow cultivation, he hesitated.

His senior brother, Shen Yuan Zhenren, was a genius with high cultivation and a skilled author.

There wasn't a single mistake in his writings, and his insights were profound.

The vast collection of various-ranked techniques and cultivation methods of the Five Elements Divine Sect was mostly created by Senior Brother Shen Yuan in his early years.

But this secret technique was something he had never heard of or seen before.

When did he research this? If he had created it a long time ago, why didn't he share it with his disciples?

If he had created it in the past hundred years, it was normal not to share it, but did Senior Brother have the leisure to do so in the past hundred years?

For a moment, he fell into deep thought.

A male disciple asked, "Sect Master, what about that secret technique?"

He snapped out of his thoughts, "Wait a moment, I'll go back and study it. I'll record ten copies and give them to you later, so there's no need to rush."

The crowd understood and stopped urging.

However, they were still very much looking forward to the Supreme Elder's newly created secret technique, especially since it was related to Nascent Soul cultivation.

The 150-year war between humans and demons had made them realize their own weakness.

The once-lofty Golden Core Cultivators were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of the overwhelming beast tide.

Only by achieving the Nascent Soul could they control their own fate! That secret technique was their hope for changing their destiny in a short time!

...

"Master, do you want to take a look at the Harmony Domain?"

"Over there?"

"Yes, after our battle, the Medicine King Domain was half-destroyed and is not suitable for the Nascent Soul Upper Sect to manage in the short term. So, the Nine Spirit Lord led the Nine Spirit Sect to the Harmony Domain. However, they were a bit slow, and the demons occupying the Harmony Domain seemed to have received some news and retreated. Many mortal cultivators and small forces in the Eastern Wilderness heard the news and took the risk of rushing in ahead of time. By the time the Nine Spirit Lord led his people there, although they still occupied the Fourth Stage Spirit Vein, other places were not suitable for directly driving people away.

"That battle was indeed intense."

The losses for the Medicine King Domain were not significant, as the battlefield primarily centered around Luo Chen. However, the battle took place on the former site of the Medicine King Sect's mountain gate, where the main vein of a Fourth Stage Spirit Vein was located.

Facing three Great Demon Emperors, along with Luo Chen and Nine Spirit Lord, five powerful cultivators on par with Great Cultivators, engaged in a chaotic battle. Even the most stable Fourth Stage Spirit Vein couldn't withstand such an impact.

Perhaps the Medicine King Domain would become a haven for solitary cultivators, but it was no longer suitable for the Nascent Soul Upper Sect to station there.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head.

"Forget it!"

"In that battle, Nine Spirit Lord wouldn't have fared much better than me. I can recover quickly, but he might not be able to."

"There's no point in visiting him now, other than seeing his weakness and interrupting his recovery."

"We'll meet again when we're both at our peaks!"

The deeper one's cultivation, the stronger their body, and the slower the recovery after a severe injury. Not everyone can possess a body like Luo Chen's, transformed after the Nirvana metamorphosis of a beast.

Moreover, after returning, the news would inevitably reach the Abyss Sect soon. He couldn't stay at home for long, so why bother saying goodbye to friends? Luo Chen subconsciously reached out to touch the droplet pattern on his forehead, which had been hidden. His power surged, and he disappeared into the vast sea of clouds.

...

On Skytouch Cliff, halfway up the mountain, a graceful figure sat on the jade steps in front of a palace, looking sorrowful and listless. Her eyes were vacant, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Her gaze aimlessly swept across the distance, where a large black tiger was climbing and leaping through the mountains, full of vitality.

Two people sat atop the tiger, their laughter and cheerful voices echoing.

Anyone who heard it would sense the joy within.

After a moment, the black tiger leaped and landed on the jade plaza, striding with agile steps under the control of a frail-looking young boy, rushing towards the young woman.

When they reached her, the boy suddenly pulled the reins, and the tiger abruptly stopped.

"Mother, I can control this big tiger!"

The boy jumped down, his movements clumsy, startling the woman back to her senses.

"Lingxi, what are you doing!"

Unexpectedly, the tiger extended its wing, and the boy slid down smoothly.

Only then did Qin Yuanjiang, sitting on the tiger's back, smile and say, "Senior Sister Sima, there's no need to worry. I specifically modified this puppet. Even without spiritual energy, Lingxi can control it."

It was astonishing for an ordinary person without spiritual energy to control a high-grade puppet. But in Qin Yuanjiang's words, it was so ordinary and unremarkable, far less exciting than the boy's momentary excitement.

Sima Hewang opened her mouth, then whispered, "Actually, the sect's construction needs you more. There's no need to waste your thoughts on unnecessary things."

Qin Yuanjiang looked down at the boy, his expression filled with emotion.

"It's not unnecessary. When I was young, my father also bought me small puppets to play with, which sparked the idea of sending me to the Falling Cloud Sect for cultivation."

"Lingxi isn't suited for orthodox cultivation methods, so I thought that the Puppetry Path might be his way into the immortal path."

"Moreover, this child, Lingxi..."

As he spoke, his expression turned somewhat desolate.

If his pregnant wife hadn't died in the Falling Cloud Sect's internal strife, he would also have a child.

Sigh...

"I'll head back now. If there's anything, just call me, Senior Sister."

Qin Yuanjiang bid farewell as he noticed the sky darkening.

Sima Hewang naturally wouldn't stop him and only saw him off for a few steps.

Turning back, she saw her son still excitedly playing with the black tiger and couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing the sigh, Luo Lingxi curiously ran over and held his mother's hand.

"Mother, I heard that when I turn twelve, I can start cultivating. I can also fly through the sky and move through the earth, becoming all-powerful. Is that true?"

Sima Hewang's face changed abruptly, "Who told you that? Who are they?"

Luo Lingxi pouted but didn't cry, nor did he dare to ask further.

Whenever he asked about cultivation, his mother had this reaction.

Seeing her son's pitiful expression, Sima Hewang lovingly hugged his frail body.

"Lingxi, let's not cultivate, okay?"

Luo Lingxi turned his head stubbornly and said, "No!"

"You!"

Sima Hewang became furious.

Luo Lingxi suddenly turned his head and glared at her, "Are you going to hit me again? I heard that my father is very powerful, the strongest in the world. If you hit me, I'll tell on you when he returns, and he'll beat you up."

As he spoke, the little boy wriggled free of the woman's hand and ran into the palace.

As he ran, he shouted,

"Sister Mingyue, Mother wants to hit me again!"

Sima Hewang clenched her fists but then slowly relaxed them.

His father was indeed a formidable man.

If he knew his son was being bullied, he would probably beat her up! But cultivation...

The woman shook her head, feeling dejected, and sat down on the steps again.

Lingxi must not cultivate, absolutely not.

At least, before his father returned, she dared not let him cultivate.

The consequences were unpredictable.

"Husband, if I had known your intentions back then, I wouldn't have kept this child."

"Giving birth to him would only bring him suffering and hardship. It's better for me to bear it alone."

Sima Hewang was both angry and heartbroken, and she kept muttering "husband" more frequently.

When will you return?

Under the moonlight, a figure approached, stepping on the moon's glow.

The woman stared at the white-robed figure, as if in a dream.
