Chapter 892: Off to the Abyss Sect
Chapter 892: Off to the Abyss Sect
January 21st, 2025
The sky was clear and cold, with rushing waterfalls and rapids.
A figure in white stood by the mountain stream, almost blending into the white foam.
Luo Chen was deep in thought, his calmness unaffected by the chaos around him.
The invitation from the three cultivators of the Abyss Sect was significant.
From his perspective, many hidden matters were now within his reach.
Among the three, Lei Daozi was the top warrior of the Abyss Sect after the old ancestor, and Ling Tian City Lord was very likely to be the next Sect Master.
As for Chongming, his identity was even more noble.
At such a young age, he had independently comprehended the true meaning of the Water Element's laws, an achievement not inferior to the young geniuses of the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect. He was undoubtedly a candidate for Divine Transformation.
Most importantly, behind Lei Daozi was the Supreme Elder of the Underworld, behind Ling Tian City Lord was the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Abyss, and behind Chongming was the Black Marsh Great Power, whom Luo Chen was familiar with.
These three figures coming to see Luo Chen together showed the importance the Abyss Sect placed on him.
However, from another perspective, did it also reveal their wariness of him?
"I've made up an excuse of being away to recover from injuries, but they might not believe it."
"Who is Qing Shuang? Escaping from her grasp is truly unbelievable."
"Plus, with the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Abyss appearing earlier... they might have guessed that I went to Cangwu Mountain!"
Luo Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
But then, he shook his head.
Even if they guessed, what could they do without concrete evidence? They could only let him tell his story.
Unless the Abyss Sect was willing to let go of such a great talent as him.
Obviously, the Abyss Sect couldn't bear to do so; otherwise, during their conversation in the hall, Ling Tian City Lord and the other two wouldn't have avoided this topic and not directly broach the matter.
However, this meant that when he went to the Abyss Sect, he would likely face much suspicion.
"It's a good opportunity to see the might of the Eastern Wilderness Divine Sacred Land and whether it can accommodate me!"
By now, Luo Chen was no longer concerned about the exposure of his actions in refining the Transformation Elixir for the Demon Race.
He had already demonstrated his value.
If the Abyss Sect couldn't even tolerate such a matter, they would be too narrow-minded.
Nevertheless, before that, he needed to create some backup plans for himself.
Footsteps sounded behind him.
Two sets of footsteps.
"Husband!"
"Husband!"
Luo Chen turned around and saw Sima Hewang, dressed as a woman, and the young and beautiful Gu Caiyi approaching together.
"Husband, are you leaving?" Gu Caiyi asked.
Luo Chen nodded, "The time has been set. In two months, they will come to fetch me personally."
"Two months?"
Gu Caiyi repeated the time, her face filled with reluctance.
Sima Hewang, however, asked anxiously, "Does the Abyss Sect truly have a way to resolve the Demon Heart Parasite?"
At this question, a strange expression flashed across Luo Chen's face.
Earlier, Hewang had only been away for half a month when she suddenly heard about a method to resolve the Demon Heart Parasite, and that method was said to have originated from the Abyss Sacred Land! During their casual conversation in the hall, Luo Chen had probed Ling Tian City Lord about this.
The City Lord was straightforward and didn't hide anything. He mentioned that there was indeed a Nascent Soul True Man in their sect who had stayed in the Southern Region for a long time and had extensive research on the Parasite.
He didn't say whether it could be resolved, only that the research was extensive.
Luo Chen couldn't help but suspect that the Abyss Sect had intentionally released this news.
After all, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Abyss and Ling Tian City Lord had both seen his son, and they might have sensed something.
By sending the White Rhinoceros Horn and releasing this news at such a critical moment, their intention was likely to use Luo Lingxi to control Luo Chen.
So, should he bring Luo Lingxi with him to the Abyss Sect?
Luo Chen's gaze fell on Sima Hewang, whose heart was in turmoil, and he nodded slightly.
Sima Hewang's eyes lit up, and she pleaded, "Husband, can you take us to the Abyss Sect too?"
"Lingxi can go," Luo Chen replied, causing Sima Hewang's heart to leap with joy. But at his next words, her face visibly changed. "You can't."
"Why?"
"Not yet. Once I've settled in, it should be possible," Luo Chen explained.
Sima Hewang heaved a sigh of relief.
"During the time I'm away with Lingxi, you must focus on your cultivation, Hewang. You can't be so lax anymore. The stronger we are, the better protection our children will have. Whether the Abyss Sect can truly cure Lingxi is still uncertain. If you reach a higher cultivation level, you might be able to resolve her problems without relying on others."
Luo Chen's gentle persuasion made Sima Hewang nod repeatedly.
Perhaps it was because there was hope, or perhaps Luo Chen's words made sense; this time, she didn't refuse.
Seeing this, Luo Chen also smiled with relief.
Just as he said, whether the Mingyuan Sect could solve Luo Lingxi's problem was a matter of debate, but taking the son away from Hewang would at least allow her to cultivate with peace of mind.
Two months was enough time for them to say goodbye.
As for himself, it was time to attempt that idea.
...
Three figures departed from Skytouch Cliff, flying towards the Heaven-Splitting Pass at a steady pace.
The discussion about Luochen never ceased after they left.
"Senior Brother, is Luochen really that formidable?" Chongming asked curiously, his eyes showing a hint of disbelief, "He doesn't seem to be much higher in cultivation than me."
The City Lord of Heaven-Splitting Pass hesitated, "It's hard to say, but he has repeatedly demonstrated abilities that command respect. His progress is incredibly fast. Moreover, his accomplishments are undeniable."
Luochen's accomplishments were indeed glorious!
Just the title of Demon-Slayer Immortal represented countless Fourth Rank Demon Emperor corpses.
Not to mention the terrifying feats that ordinary people couldn't even imagine, such as defeating Qi, defeating Shen Yuan, and annihilating Huang Man.
Chongming had been cultivating in seclusion at the Mingyuan Sect for many years, and now he was just a step away from the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
"He obtained the Heavenly Mystery Pill from Senior Sister Chuyan, and perhaps he, like me, has also comprehended the true meaning of the law and possesses the ability to fight above his cultivation level. But there is still a vast gap between us and the great cultivators. What methods did he use to reach such a level?"
Upon hearing this, Leidaozi let out a cold laugh.
"What other methods could there be? It must be that mysterious Primordial True Fire!"
Chongming looked at him curiously.
Leidaozi explained, "I sparred with him on Mount Shouyang, and although I didn't use my full strength, he also held back. But I have a deep impression of his Primordial True Fire, and its power far surpasses the true meaning of ordinary laws."
Chongming exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that he has mastered the Fifth Rank Divine Flame?"
"You should ask Senior Brother Ye about that," Leidaozi said, looking at the City Lord of Heaven-Splitting Pass.
The City Lord nodded, his expression grave, "My master and I once went to the Medicine King Domain battlefield, and there were indeed traces of the Fifth Rank Divine Flame. Huang Man also died from being refined by this fire. Moreover, this is why the sect sent the three of us together to invite Luochen."
The City Lord of Heaven-Splitting Pass had a good relationship with Luochen, Leidaozi was powerful, and although Chongming's cultivation was not high, he had comprehended the true meaning of the water element law, which had a certain restraining effect on Luochen, who cultivated fire-attributed techniques.
If negotiations failed, they were confident in their ability to fight.
As to why they were still considering the possibility of negotiations falling through, even though Luochen had already agreed to join the Mingyuan Sect, it was necessary to mention his connection with Cangwu Mountain.
Leidaozi, sensing the other's thoughts, narrowed his eyes slightly.
"He's not telling the truth!"
The City Lord of Heaven-Splitting Pass took a deep breath, "Ever since he returned to the Eastern Wilderness, he has never been truthful."
Chongming smiled, "It doesn't matter. Once we reach the Mingyuan Sacred Land, when the ancestors have time, he will speak the truth. Even if he has some connection with Cangwu Mountain, it doesn't matter. Our sacred land is vast and can accommodate him. Take Senior Sister Chuyan, for example, who is also from our Mingyuan Sect, but at the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect..."
"Chongming!" Leidaozi glared at him.
Chongming shrugged, unbothered.
The City Lord of Heaven-Splitting Pass did not join the discussion this time, as their opinions were not important.
How they would treat Luochen in the end would depend on the three ancestors' intentions.
For now, their task was simply to bring Luochen back.
So far, everything was going smoothly.
...
At the summit of Skytouch Cliff.
In the place where spiritual energy was most abundant and pure, two figures sat facing each other.
One was Luochen, dressed in white, and the other was Jin San, clad in black.
Jin San, dressed in black, was the Nascent Soul puppet Luochen had refined from the Golden Plume's corpse.
Not a single mistake, not a single hair, not a single breath, not a single movement, not a single look, not a single word, not a single glance!
These years, it had been hidden and nurtured in the spirit vein, and now it was ready for use.
At this moment, Luochen's body trembled, and his facial muscles twitched.
On his face, golden light flickered faintly.
The golden light was not dense, and it seemed like it could dissipate at any moment.
But a rich vitality emanated from Luochen's Purple Mansion, and the golden light became more resilient.
Suddenly!
"Divide!"
Luochen let out a low cry, and his blood and energy were restrained, and his soul and spirit disappeared.
Water droplet patterns appeared on his forehead, reflecting his image.
As if sensing something, the puppet Jin San opened its eyes, and its aura circulated, spreading Luochen's unique aura.
It opened its mouth and gently sucked, and the water droplet floated out, landing on Jin San's forehead.
As soon as it landed, the water droplet's pattern began to flicker intensely, showing signs of detaching from the puppet and returning to Luo Chen's body.
Luo Chen remained calm and composed, casting a series of seal formations, infusing his essence energy into the puppet, gradually stabilizing the water droplet pattern.
When the water droplet completely disappeared into the puppet's glabella, Luo Chen finally relaxed, a smile appearing on his face.
"This 'Shell-Breaking Technique' from the 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture' is truly effective."
Nirvana, when applied internally, is the ultimate goal of cultivation, and when applied externally, it becomes a method of reviving the dead.
However, cultivators are reluctant to find themselves in life-threatening situations all the time.
Therefore, the true scripture contains the 'Shell-Breaking Technique' derived from the Nirvana method.
Luo Chen, using this technique, with the aid of the Nirvana Holy Flame, gradually peeled away the 'Heavenly Water Divine Ability' that Heze Laozu had placed on his body.
This ability, named 'Protection', was actually a means of surveillance.
Luo Chen had always wanted to remove it, but his previous ideas were too extreme and would have caused significant damage to his essence energy.
In comparison, the Shell-Breaking Technique resulted in much smaller losses.
However, despite its apparent simplicity, the conditions were still quite demanding.
Firstly, one needed a divine ability like the Nirvana Holy Flame, whose rank was no lower than that of a Divine Transformation Great Ability.
Secondly, one required a clone, preferably closely related to the cultivator.
Lastly, the cultivator's spiritual soul needed to be strong, or else it would be difficult to peel away the divine ability.
These three conditions were nearly impossible for ordinary people to meet, and it was only after Luo Chen returned to Skytouch Cliff that he became eligible to attempt it.
During the process, he also drew inspiration from Han Zhan's puppet substitution method, which ultimately led to his success.
"With this, I no longer have any concerns."
"Then, I can also pay a visit to the Abyss Sacred Land!"
Luo Chen calmly stood up, and the puppet across from him, after a moment of mutual gaze, walked towards him, flashed with light, and merged into his body.
In a fleeting moment, the water droplet pattern reappeared on Luo Chen's glabella.
Even if Heze Laozu were present, he would only think that Luo Chen still had the divine ability, never suspecting that Luo Chen had already escaped his control.
But this was not enough.
Considering that he would be taking his son on this journey, Luo Chen needed to take comprehensive measures.
He stomped his foot, and an invisible wave rippled into the depths of the earth.
After a moment, Black King emerged from the ground.
"You'll be coming with me too!"
Black King had already guessed their destination, feeling both anxious and excited.
The last time Luo Chen went to the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect, he hadn't brought Black King along.
This time, as they were heading to the Abyss Sect, Black King would be accompanying him.
What was so special about a Sacred Land compared to ordinary immortal sects?
...
Two months later, on the day Luo Chen descended the mountain, the time had arrived.
An exquisitely luxurious flying boat arrived at the Luo Tian Domain on the agreed-upon date.
The boat was adorned with colorful banners, and numerous cultivators stood on it, each with a proud expression and at the Golden Core stage.
Such a formation was beyond the capabilities of an ordinary Nascent Soul Upper Sect.
Not to mention the renowned Heaven-Splitting City Lord, who was also among them.
Many cultivators from the Luo Tian Domain, upon hearing the news, rushed to witness the spectacle.
As for the Luo Tian Sect cultivators, they had already gathered, waiting at the foot of Skytouch Cliff.
When Luo Chen, holding Luo Lingxi's small hand, gracefully descended from the mountain, hundreds of Luo Tian Sect cultivators gazed at him with reverence in their eyes, a mix of reluctance and pride.
For ordinary cultivators, joining a Sacred Land was a great honor.
Even Shen Yuan and He Huan, back in the day, had once considered going to the Abyss Sacred Land to improve their cultivation and strive for the Divine Transformation realm.
Although Luo Chen's journey might be filled with hidden complexities, in their eyes, he was soaring to greater heights.
"City Lord, I'm counting on you." Luo Chen stood outside the flying boat, addressing the Heaven-Splitting City Lord.
The City Lord smiled, "It's no trouble. I was already planning to return to report. Coming to fetch you is a convenient coincidence."
Luo Chen nodded, his gaze shifting downward.
Familiar faces, eyes filled with worry, reluctance, or blessings, all caught his attention.
During his cultivation journey, these people had provided him with much help.
In the end, he had also found them a place to cultivate and reside.
With this trip to the Abyss Sacred Land, their connection might come to an end.
There was no need for sentimental farewells.
"Let's go!"
Luo Chen held his son's hand and stepped onto the luxurious flying boat.
At the City Lord's command, the boat released a brilliant spiritual light, slowly taking off, and without hesitation, it headed towards the Heaven-Splitting Pass at a moderate speed.
Behind the flying boat, a chorus of uniform farewells echoed.
"Farewell, Supreme Elder!"
