Chapter 919: Fleeing Mingyuan, Awakening an Old Friend

February 20, 2025

In the depths of the dark, a black-lighted shuttle silently traversed the void, its speed astonishing. Despite its rapid movement, the shuttle remained inconspicuous due to the covering of Wuguang Beast's hide, effectively concealing its aura.

Even if other Yuan Ying cultivation practitioners were in the vicinity, they would find it challenging to detect the presence of the Baiying Shuttle without carefully scanning the area with their divine sense.

Inside the shuttle, after the initial excitement of Luo Chen's safe return from Luotian Domain had subsided, the atmosphere gradually became chaotic.

"Why did we suddenly leave Luotian Domain, which we've been cultivating for eighteen years?"

"It was too sudden. One moment, we were listening to Master Qu's teachings, and the next, the Supreme Elder appeared and took us onto the shuttle."

"What about the precious high-grade spiritual herb I planted in my cave abode?"

"Junior Brother, what about you? I had arranged for a treasure to assist in cultivation, and I even paid a deposit. Now that I've left, I've wasted everything."

"Will Xiao Wan wait for me to return?"

"The Pan Shi Gang and Tian Lang Society have been fighting fiercely, and they paid me a hefty sum to mediate between them. Now that I've left without notice, I fear that..."

"So, where are we headed?"

This final question immediately captured everyone's attention.

For a moment, a lively discussion ensued.

Unlike the disciples' quarters, Luo Chen's cabin was relatively quiet, with only Qu Lingjun by his side, listening to Luo Chen's instructions on cultivation for the Jin Dan Stage.

These were the responsibilities of a master, and Luo Chen couldn't avoid them.

At this moment, Qu Lingjun, who had reached the Jin Dan Stage, was wearing the robe Luo Chen had given him. The robe suited him well, making him look vibrant and spirited, finally shedding the weariness and fatigue of the past, and exuding a more carefree demeanor.

"Indeed, this robe suits you better than me."

However, Luo Chen was an expert in Huofa, and such a robe was unnecessary for him.

In fact, wearing it for an extended period made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

Qu Lingjun smiled and then hesitated, glancing outside.

"Master, should we not intervene?"

Luo Chen waved his hand and calmly replied, "There's nothing to intervene. When we left the Great River Market, didn't we also do the same?"

Qu Lingjun nodded in understanding, his eyes filled with emotion.

He had been a child back then but was mature beyond his years due to losing both parents at a young age.

He knew the story of Luotian Zong's departure from their homeland like the back of his hand.

At that time, Luotian Society had a modest number of members and lacked cohesion, let alone any high-level cultivators.

Many members had a hard time leaving their hometowns behind.

After their departure, they encountered the Yao Wang blocking their path, were despised by the natives of Taishan Market, and suffered heavy losses when ambushed along the way.

In the end, didn't they settle down in Tianlan Xian City?

With a new location, Luotian Society found new opportunities for growth, leading to the establishment of Luotian Zong.

He believed that the wise and far-sighted Master's decision would be the most beneficial for the current development of the sect.

However, Luo Chen's disregard for the thoughts of his subordinates didn't mean that no one cared.

At that moment, Li Yingzhang appeared before the crowd of disciples.

"Sect Master!"

"Sect Master!"

Facing the curious and puzzled eyes, Li Yingzhang paused briefly before explaining the reason for their departure and their destination.

"You all know that the Yao Clan has amassed its forces outside the Six Domains of the Far East."

"You may not be aware that Tian Yuan Dao Zong has landed in Dong Huang."

"Yes, that giant from Zhongzhou, even surpassing the Abyss Sect!"

"Next, whether it's the Yao Clan's resurgence or Dao Zong's attempt to establish a foothold, a bloody storm is inevitable in the Dong Huang cultivation world."

"Our Luotian Zong has endured many hardships. Even after eighteen years of recovery, we haven't fully regained our vitality. We can't compare ourselves to those ancient Yuan Ying supreme sects. If we're drawn into the vortex of another two-clan war, you can imagine the consequences."

"You wouldn't want to experience those uncertain days again, would you?"

"Therefore, the Supreme Elder, considering the future of the sect, took the risk and ventured across the Mingyuan Sea to find a blessed land for Luotian Zong, no less superior than Luotian Domain."

"At that time, our Luotian Zong will retreat into the blessed land and consolidate our power, unconcerned with the outside world's changes."

A curious disciple asked, "Where are we going?"

Li Ying Zhang replied solemnly, "To the Mingyuan Ruins, the Dan Sheng Paradise!"

Upon hearing this answer, exclamations of surprise echoed within the shuttle.

They might not fully understand the significance of Dan Sheng Paradise, but who didn't know the weight of the words "Mingyuan Ruins"?

It was once the cultivation site of the Dong Huang overlord, the Mingyuan Saint Land!

"But didn't we hear that the Abyss Sect was flooded by the Wuliang Mingyuan Sea? How will we get in? And will we have to hide there for the rest of our lives?"

As for these questions that he had once asked himself, Li Ying Zhang now had a plan in mind.

Because Luo Chen had already given him the answers.

"As for how to cross the Mingyuan Abyss, the Supreme Elder has his own methods. You don't need to worry."

"As for when the mountain gate will open, and when we will re-establish contact?"

Li Ying Zhang paused, his eyes filled with anticipation as he looked at the crowd.

"When you all have achieved a certain level of cultivation and can withstand any trials in the cultivation world, that's when the Luotian Sect will open its mountain gate, and my disciples will roam the sea of mountains and rivers."

"Everyone, strive hard in your cultivation!"

...

Li Ying Zhang's words to the crowd of Zhuji and Lianqi Stage disciples were not shielded from the other Jin Dan Stage cultivators.

Many Jin Dan Stage cultivators, and even the higher-ups of the Luotian Sect, released their divine sense and listened in.

This way, Luo Chen didn't have to explain everything individually.

After hearing everything, they finally understood the Supreme Elder's good intentions.

Although the Luotian Sect had a considerable number of powerful cultivators, when it came to the sect's foundation and heritage, it was indeed inferior to the old Yuan Ying supreme sects.

If they were to face another war between humans and demons, the outcome would likely be even more tragic than before.

Finding a secluded place to cultivate diligently was akin to the secular concept of "storing provisions, building walls, and biding time for kingship."

In reality, this was also related to the Luotian Sect's current small number of disciples.

Even if they were to switch to a slightly larger Yuan Ying supreme sect, they would not be so easily swayed.

It could be said that a small boat is easier to steer!

Inside the room, Luo Chen retracted his divine sense and looked at Qu Ling Jun.

"Are you at ease now?"

Qu Ling Jun smiled, "With my master here, I'm at ease about everything. I had promised my daughter Qin'er that after achieving the Jin Dan Stage, I would accompany her to visit Feng Hua Palace. Now, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep that promise."

"There will be opportunities in the future."

Luo Chen sighed and stood up, walking to the window alone.

The boundless and traceless Qing Ming, with only the twinkling stars dotted the landscape, giving people a certain sense of loneliness.

Fortunately, he had disciples, family, friends, and hundreds of respectful and admiring junior disciples. He wasn't as lonely as he had imagined.

"But after breaking through this Qing Ming and ascending to the immortal realm, I'm afraid I'll become a lonely man again."

Thinking about the future, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile.

It's too far away!

...

Several months later, a flying boat silently entered the Mingyuan Abyss, unnoticed by anyone.

At that moment, thunder and fire raged, and spatial cracks appeared layer upon layer, startling all the Luotian Sect cultivators.

In this situation, Luo Chen left the flying shuttle alone.

"Come out!"

His divine sense spread, and the Xuan Gui that had been lurking here revealed its silhouette beneath the water's surface.

Seeing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Without this Xuan Gui's assistance, it would have been extremely difficult for him to bring the Luotian Sect cultivators inside.

Now, it was much more convenient.

The Nirvana Holy Fire spread out, enveloping the Baiying Shuttle, and they dove into the deep abyss.

Then, they landed on the Xuan Gui's back.

At the same time, Luo Chen retracted the flying shuttle, allowing all the Luotian Sect members to meet the Xuan Gui.

Exclamations and praises rang out instantly.

The Xuan Gui seemed slightly annoyed by having so many people standing on its back, and it exhaled hot air from its nostrils.

"Remember their auras; they are all my disciples."

Luo Chen said indifferently and then waved his hand.

"Let's go to Dan Sheng Paradise!"

The Xuan Gui bellowed, and black light burst forth from its body, enveloping everyone. Its massive body submerged, and they headed towards the depths of the Mingyuan Abyss.

The once renowned Luotian Supreme Sect vanished from the world's gaze, along with the receding waves.

Some said that they were eradicated by the enemies of Danzong Luo Chen, and none of the sect members survived.

"Tai Shang Elder?" Li Ying Zhang looked at Luo Chen with confusion.

The other party took out a thick animal skin.

"This contains detailed information about the Dan Sheng Paradise, including the quality of each spiritual vein, the distribution of medicinal herbs and mineral veins, and some dangerous areas. I've already scouted it all. I'm handing over the map to you, and the rest of the sect's construction is up to you."

Li Ying Zhang respectfully accepted the map of the blessed land. With just a glance, his eyes widened in surprise.

No wonder the Tai Shang Elder had previously said that the new sect's location would be even better than the Luotian Domain.

In that instant, he spotted the five most prominent landmarks.

All of them were fourth-stage spiritual veins!

Considering the vast Luotian Domain only had one fourth-stage spiritual vein, and the scarcity of caves suitable for Yuan Infant cultivation practitioners, this blessed land was truly exceptional.

Unlike the Luotian Domain, this blessed land had a whopping five fourth-stage spiritual veins!

Each one was no less impressive than the Mota Mountain, and with just a few caves, it could accommodate over a dozen Yuan Infant True People for cultivation.

Luo Chen noticed the other party's astonishment.

Initially, he had felt the same way. Later, he also found it reasonable.

The Dan Sheng Paradise, a sacred land highly valued by the three grand elders of the Abyss Sect, was not only a potential refuge for the sect in times of crisis but also capable of giving birth to fifth-stage spiritual mountains like Mount Yanfu, indicating its profound foundation.

After being sealed off by Dan Sheng Zhu Yan for centuries, the spiritual energy within had become even more abundant.

In the future, there was even a possibility of it being promoted to a fifth-stage spiritual vein!

Such a unique place was more than sufficient for the Luo Tianzong), a sect with only a few hundred cultivators.

After entrusting all the sect's trivial matters to Li Ying Zhang, Luo Chen also entered the Dan Sheng Paradise.

At first glance, he saw Luo Lingxi, who was standing with his arms wide open, allowing Si Ma Hui Niang to embrace him. He was at a loss, his face filled with embarrassment.

The others curiously watched this scene.

Thinking about how the Tai Shang Elder's son had become even more handsome and extraordinary after not seeing him for eight or nine years, especially his eyes, which were almost identical to the Tai Shang Elder's.

However, the onlookers were soon called away by Li Ying Zhang.

They didn't mind; after all, he was just a "waste" who couldn't cultivate.

At eighteen, he still hadn't displayed any spiritual power. If he wasn't a waste, then who was?

At the exit, only Luo Chen and his group remained.

Gu Cai Yi stood beside Luo Chen and smiled, "Hui Niang, don't hold him like that. He's grown up; give him some face in front of others!"

"Mother?"

Luo Lingxi awkwardly called out, and Si Ma Hui Niang, as if waking from a dream, finally loosened her tight grip.

"My child, you don't know how worried I've been about you these years, especially after hearing about the Abyss Sect..."

Luo Chen walked over and calmly said, "He's grown up and matured. There's no need to treat him like a child anymore."

Si Ma Hui Niang caressed Luo Lingxi's face, which was gradually revealing a robust outline, no longer resembling his former frail self.

Had he matured?

In her eyes, Luo Lingxi was still far from being grown up!

"Father!" Luo Lingxi respectfully called out to Luo Chen.

"Yes, spend some quality time with your mother during this period. She's been longing for you."

"I understand, Father."

Luo Chen nodded and walked past him.

But as they brushed past each other, Luo Chen's heart stirred, and he turned back to scrutinize Luo Lingxi carefully.

The young man couldn't be described as having a tiger's back and a bear's waist, but after practicing some martial arts, he had indeed shed his former frail appearance.

But why did he feel a twinge of unease just now?

Luo Chen's spiritual sense swept over Luo Lingxi, who appeared transparent before him.

There was nothing unusual about his entire body, except for the most familiar Moxin Gu.

"Father, is there anything else?"

Luo Lingxi seemed a bit tense in front of Luo Chen.

Luo Chen furrowed his brows but claimed that nothing was wrong.

However, as he was about to leave, he called Hei Wang over.

The man and the dragon flew into the boundless sky.

"During my absence, has anything happened in the blessed land?"

"Reporting to the master, nothing major has occurred. We only faced a wave of low-level Guiwuinds attacks, but they weren't specifically targeting the Dan Sheng Paradise. It was just that after the array of the Dan Sheng Temple was eroded, a large amount of Dan Fragrance leaked out, attracting their frenzy."

"What about Lingxi?"

"With me here, it's even less likely for something to happen to the young master!"

"That's good, then!"

Luo Chen suppressed the unease in his heart, attributing it to the temporary absence of Luo Lingxi and the resulting estrangement in their father-son relationship.

Hei Wang curiously asked, "Master, where are we going now?"

Luo Chen's gaze intensified as he focused on a bustling mountain peak filled with human figures.

"There's a friend who has been asleep for a long time. It's time to wake her up."

The giant dragon landed on a third-stage spiritual mountain brimming with pure spiritual energy, attracting the attention of many female cultivators.

Jueqing Xianzi emerged from among them and respectfully bowed.

"Greetings, Tai Shang Elder, and Hei Wang."

Luo Chen said, "No need for such formalities. Take me to see Cang Long Dao You!"

Jueqing Xianzi's eyes lit up, and she quickly led the way.
