Chapter 843: The Wisdom of Danzong, the Harvest After the War, and the Corpse
If the rumor that the God-transforming Great Masters could not take action was put forward when his realm was low, Luo Chen would believe it.
But after experiencing the battle of Cangwu Mountain, he no longer believed this rumor.
At that time, Cangwu Mountain was guarded by the Qingshuang Demon Emperor, and even if the three great Yuanhou monks came in person, they could not do anything.
It was the great master of Mingyuan Sect who took action personally, which forced Cangwu Mountain to escape into the void.
This example is enough to show that the God-transforming Great Masters can take action.
And there are actually many such examples!
How did the Beihai Yuanmo Sect fall?
The two ancestors of the Yuanmo Sect were also God-transforming Great Masters, and they were not strong in the same realm. Who could kill them?
The great master of the formation, Li Canghai, also took action to take the Lingshan of the Bingji Sect to refine spiritual treasures in public.
All these proved that the rumor was wrong.
Of course, maybe it was not wrong, but not completely correct!
Since he mastered the true meaning of withering and flourishing, Luo Chen has been aware of a kind of inexplicable sense of harmony between him and this world.
Very slight, but it does exist!
At first, Luo Chen thought it was the influence of the assimilation of the world into the Nascent Soul, and his unstable realm, so he didn't dare to practice too much during that period, and only focused on consolidating his realm.
Later, as his realm was completely stable, he found that the sense of harmony still existed.
At this time, Luo Chen realized that it was not the assimilation of the world, but that he had a certain authority that was similar to the world, so he had that kind of seemingly true feeling.
The true meaning of the law!
The reason lies in the true meaning of the law.
Luo Chen guessed that once a cultivator comprehended the true meaning of a certain law, it was equivalent to mastering part of the world's authority.
In this case, even if he was not assimilated by this world, he was almost the same as this world.
After all, there are only a few Nascent Soul cultivators who can master the true meaning of the law. Even the Tianyuan Dao Sect needs five hundred years to produce two or three people.
The ones who truly mastered this mystery appeared in the group of cultivators at the level of Huashen!
They are like heaven and earth, and their magic power is limited, but as long as they have the Yuanshen and comprehend the true meaning of the law, they can draw the Yuanqi of heaven and earth at any time to fight, so their energy is endless.
The best description of them is the powerful and the great supernatural!
Once such beings start a war between each other recklessly, the destructive power they can cause is extremely terrifying!
They will never be limited to a mountain, a region, and a thousand miles of land like Yuanying cultivators.
The biggest possibility is the terrifying scene of the sinking of continents and the overturning of mountains and seas!
However, the spirits of heaven and earth, how can they sit and watch the parasites in their bodies destroy their bodies at will?
Therefore, there must be some restrictions on the power of Huashen.
This is the source of the rumor that the power of Huashen cannot easily act.
This conclusion is the guess made by the knowledgeable Luo Chen based on his specific situation.
Maybe some of it is not correct, but it is enough to explain why during the race war, the powerful beings with decisive military power, such as the Ancient Demon Emperor Tian and the Abyss Mighty, did not take action directly, but let their creatures kill each other and compete indirectly.
It is not that they do not want to fight directly, but there are restrictions in some places, which prevents them from taking action easily.
But if they are really angry, what's the harm in tearing those restrictions apart?
In the current situation, has the Donghuang demon clan angered the Abyss Sect?
Luo Chen judged in his heart and came to the answer that it seems not urgent, but it is actually anxious.
What does it mean to seem not urgent?
The strength of the Abyss Sect itself has hardly been affected, and it is still sitting high in the clouds.
They are giving orders leisurely, and they don't look anxious.
But!
Previously, the eight commanders took action at the same time, commanding hundreds of millions of demons to invade the thirty-six regions, and even fought to the rear. Some places can be described as devastating.
The intensity of this war has exceeded the expectations of Mingyuan Sect.
If it continues like this, the entire East Wasteland will be destroyed. If there are a few more places like Juelingyu, I am afraid that in the future, Mingyuan Sect will unify the East Wasteland and get nothing but a mess.
So, they also began to get restless.
It can be seen from the fact that Mingyuan Sect sent out six great Yuanhou monks and nearly forty Yuanying Zhenren in one breath.
"So, as long as the leader of the East Wasteland demon clan, Gu Yaodi Tian, is killed, the current demon clan army can be completely disintegrated!"
Faced with Luo Chen's speculation, Fairy Fenghua did not agree.
"How can a god-transforming existence be so easy to kill?"
Luo Chen smiled dumbly, "Even if he can't be killed, as long as he forces Gu Yaodi Tian to take action first, won't Mingyuan Great Power have the upper hand in the situation? At that time, whether it is war or peace, the initiative is in their hands. Sometimes the reputation of righteousness is very important!"
Fairy Fenghua frowned, the reputation of righteousness?
Luo Chen, with his hands behind his back, paced on the quiet path of Danluo Mountain, and told his views on this war.
"After the ancient times, the human and demon races signed a truce agreement and were not allowed to launch large-scale ethnic wars. Only small battles such as the opening war were allowed, and they were often limited to the scale of a sect or a faction."
"But in the opening war of Xiaoyue Mountain Range, the human race was the first to violate the agreement. Han Zhan invited four powerful men from other sects to surround and kill the proud demon emperor."
"Not only that, the powerful Hehuan Sect also got involved and tried to open up the two domains together with Luoyun Sect."
"These are all betrayals of the original truce agreement!"
"The most important point is that Mingyuan appeared in Cangwu Mountain, the holy land of the Feather Clan, and took action personally!"
"Precisely because he occupied the great righteousness, the genius of the ancient demon emperor had reason to arouse the anger in the hearts of the powerful demon tribes, and unified the demon tribes in millions of mountains. Under his call, countless powerful men ran for him and were driven by him , Even the most powerful men like Wolf Lord Aojie, who once competed with the Ancient Demon Emperor, cannot disobey him."
"These are all the benefits brought by the reputation of righteousness!"
"And the result is obvious. Thirty-six domains, a total of fifteen domains were lost. Even the twenty-one domains in the rear suffered heavy losses. Fenghua Palace was destroyed, Qidong Mountain was destroyed, and Dieyun Sect was defeated. The dust is as strong as the Tiandu Sect and can be seen with the naked eye."
"This is what we have seen with our own eyes. Other places will only be more tragic than this. Xuhuang Sect, Taishan Sect, Wanjian Pavilion, Hundred Beasts Sect, Mu Mansion..."
"If this war is compared to a chess game..."
Speaking of this, Luo Chen inexplicably thought of Tianyuan Dao Sect.
But it was only for a moment.
He shook his head and continued to talk eloquently.
"We, all the living beings, are the chess pieces, and the gods of the Eastern Wilderness human and demon tribes are the chess players."
"The result of the game between the chess pieces represents the outcome of this war."
"But if the chess player quits and takes action to wipe out some chess pieces, he will overturn the chess board, and the other side will naturally no longer abide by the rules."
"Do you think the Ancient Demon Emperor Tian can defeat the three ancestors of the Mingyuan Sect?"
Fairy Fenghua frowned, "There are rumors that there are three ancient demons in the Eastern Wilderness Monster Clan, and they are afraid of the three ancestors of Ming Yuan."
Luo Chen chuckled.
He had heard of the names of the three ancient demons of the Eastern Wasteland.
The most prominent one is undoubtedly Pingshan Junditian.
The other two people are Qixia Yuanjun, the lord of Cangwu Mountain, and a mysterious being named Qinghe Xian.
It was precisely with the support of these two great beings and the right time and place that the Emperor dared to launch a war.
But for now, it seems that the support of one of them has not been implemented in place.
Qixia Yuanjun!
Luo Chen's smile seemed a little forced when he thought of this powerful man whose name he had heard countless times.
But the heaviness in his heart did not affect his judgment of the situation.
"All eight of the nine commanders took action."
"Only the side of the Qingshuang Demon Emperor, who represents the Cangwu Mountain lineage, has not made any substantive actions except to rescue the Thunder Prison God Peng."
"Is she really fully supporting Ancient Demon Emperor Tian?"
Faced with this rhetorical question, Fairy Fenghua hesitated.
"You mean, the demon clan is not as monolithic as it seems on the surface?"
Luo Chen continued to talk, "At least Qixia Yuanjun's support for this war is not enough at the moment. Otherwise, once her Qingshuang Demon Emperor joins the war, who can stop her? Is it the famous Lei Daozi or the hand-held Demon Emperor? Are they the Tianduzi of the Twelve Capital Gods’ Sha Banner, or the ascetic cultivators in the Mingyuan Sect?”
"As for the Qinghe Immortal, he has been practicing alone in the millions of mountains for thousands of years, and his reputation is not obvious. He is not necessarily that enthusiastic about fighting for territory."
"So, in my opinion, Di Tian was playing with the name of righteousness from the beginning to the end, taking risks with millions of years of savings. Once he couldn't sit still and took action himself, this war would be over. It means it’s starting to come to an end.”
The chess player who enters the game with his own body will either win half the piece or die on the chessboard.
Luo Chen was not optimistic about Di Tian, just like he was not optimistic about this human-monster war from beginning to end.
The winner will not be small sects like them, nor will it be those groups of monsters, it will only be Mingyuan Holy Land!
The only unexpected factor may be Qixia Yuanjun, the mastermind behind the destruction of Beihai Yuanmo.
After listening to Luo Chen's analysis, Fairy Fenghua stood on the spot in a daze.
After a long while, she looked at Luo Chen's side face with a complicated expression and spoke in a faint tone.
"I don't know what the future will bring, but Brother Luo, your lofty remarks are definitely not what ordinary people can come up with."
"Fenghua learned a lesson today!"
The attitude towards a person can often be seen from the name he calls him.
At first she called Luo Chen Fellow Daoist Luo, which was polite.
Later, he was called the Alchemist Sect, out of respect for his alchemy skills and to please him.
Now, like Jiuling Yuanjun and others, he calls Luo Chen "Brother Luo". This is an initiative to get close and want to get closer.
And this process of relationship transformation lasted for a long time, and it wasn't until Luo Chen's words today that he truly convinced the other party.
Luo Chen smiled, feeling very relieved.
In fact, it is not that Fairy Fenghua and others are "stupid", but that they have been in the game from the beginning and their thinking has been limited.
Luo Chen is also in the game at the moment, but at the beginning, he was outside the game!
In particular, his travels to Beihai and Zhongzhou allowed him to have a comprehensive consideration of the largest war in the Eastern Wasteland since ancient times, which is why he was able to draw so many judgments.
But he also knew very well that he was not a powerful god and could not really stand at that height to see the overall situation.
What you think may be wrong.
"Grand Palace Master, you are so complimentary!"
Fairy Fenghua smoothed her hair, which was messy from running around for many days, and spoke in a bleak tone.
"Junior sister is dead. I am the only one in Fenghua Palace, Yuanying Zhenren, so there is no distinction between the Grand Palace Master and the Second Palace Master. Brother Luo just called me Fenghua, just like he did just now."
Luo Chen opened his mouth, and the other person's expression was very similar to his previous time.
He could only comfort Tianduzi as he had comforted him before: "Fenghua Palace still has a foundation, and there are also outstanding people like Fengyue and Xia Lan. If they are well trained, it is not difficult to produce one or two Yuanying Zhenren."
"They..." Fairy Fenghua shook her head and said subconsciously: "If they were really excellent, they would not be stuck in the late Jindan stage for three or four hundred years, and the formation of the infant is even more distant. To be honest, the one who has the hope of Yuanying among the younger generation is Meng Qiner, who was abducted to Luotian Sect by your good disciple."
As she said, she looked at Luo Chen with a smile, implying something.
Luo Chen coughed twice.
"The two children are deeply in love, let's not break them up! We'll see in the future, we'll see in the future!"
He laughed and let the matter go.
But he had already kept an eye on Meng Qiner.
This woman has excellent aptitude. She was promoted to the Jindan stage in less than a hundred years, and now she has reached the middle Jindan stage at a young age.
Although she was helped by Qu Lingjun's elixir in the process, being able to digest a large amount of elixir without being affected by the elixir poison is also a talent!
If she can stay in Luotian Sect completely, it will be a great help in the future!
After Fairy Fenghua left, Luo Chen muttered.
"Speaking of which, I should also go to see my useless disciple."
...
The reconstruction of Lingtian Pass is the top priority at the moment.
Mingyuan sent out materials and resources, and other sects were responsible for providing manpower. The whole city was in a state of full swing.
All the cultivators with some talent were reused.
Luo Chen even met a Jindan cultivator from Ailao Mountain in Yuding Domain by chance during a patrol.
Unfortunately, they were not acquaintances, so he did not say hello to the other party, but secretly watched the man excitedly being picked up by a Yuanying Zhenren of Mingyuan Sect.
Luo Chen was quite sad about this.
In his eyes, the six Jindan sects in Yuding Domain were so unattainable.
But times have changed. The Yan League was destroyed, the Luoyun Sect was torn apart, the Ice Castle existed in name only, the Baihua Palace was long gone, and now it seems that only two or three cats and kittens are left in the Ailao Mountain, which is famous for its spiritual buildings.
"What about Qingdan Valley?"
Luo Chen inadvertently thought of the small sect with which he had a close relationship.
I think the last sect master was Tao Wan, who he had pushed up with great effort!
I don't know if there are any disciples of Qingdan Valley alive, and if there is anyone to inherit the sect's heritage.
With these random thoughts, Luo Chen went to the City Lord's Mansion and asked for leave from City Lord Lingtian.
"It's okay. We suffered heavy losses in the last battle at Lingtian Pass, and the demon clan was also in a bad situation. There will be no more disputes in the short term. If you have any private matters, go and deal with them first!"
City Lord Lingtian was as tolerant as ever.
He also asked about Luo Chen's injuries.
Luo Chen didn't have any injuries, it was just an excuse to refuse other people's invitations.
When he got some free time, he left Lingtian Pass and quietly returned to Luotian Sect.
...
"Have you reached the eighth level of foundation building?"
Luo Chen stood in a quiet courtyard, looking at a mountain wall with his eyes dimly, as if he saw the middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in meditation through the thick mountain wall.
Meng Qin'er, dressed as a young woman, stood respectfully behind him.
Hearing the murmur, she boldly defended her husband: "Lingjun has worked very hard. In just over ten years, he has crossed two realms."
Indeed, when Luo Chen first returned to the East Wilderness, Qu Lingjun's realm was about the latter level of the sixth level of foundation building.
Now, after more than ten years, he has ignored any worldly affairs, put aside all his worries, and concentrated on practicing. He has finally entered the late stage of foundation building and has barely broken through to the eighth level of foundation building.
Hearing the worry in the woman's words, Luo Chen smiled and waved his hand.
"Don't worry, I'm not blaming him, but I'm relieved. He can understand my painstaking efforts and concentrate on cultivation, which shows that his Tao heart has not been completely covered by dust."
Meng Qin'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but soon held her breath again.
"What a pity..."
Luo Chen sighed, "It's still too slow after all!"
Qu Lingjun has not experienced many battles in his life, and there is no serious injury on his body, so he should be able to reach the theoretical limit of his lifespan.
But no matter how long a foundation-building cultivator can live, he can only be 250 or 260 years old!
The other party only has 20 to 30 years left.
With four spiritual roots, it is conceivable how difficult it is to cultivate from the eighth level of foundation-building to the ninth level, and even to the state of great perfection to impact the golden elixir stage in 20 to 30 years.
You have to know that it took Luo Chen 30 years to take the last step!
He has five spiritual roots, and Qu Lingjun has four spiritual roots, both of which are like disabled qualifications.
Meng Qin'er bit her teeth and said, "No matter how slow it is, we have to try! My husband said that he does not seek the state of great perfection. Even if he is only at the ninth level of foundation building, he will try to reach the golden elixir stage before his life is about to end!"
"Your heart is commendable!" Luo Chen praised, and then said proudly, "However, how can my disciple be so shabby."
Then, in Meng Qin'er's surprise, he handed over a storage bag.
"Inside are the auxiliary resources I prepared for Lingjun!"
"There are the third-level Miaoshen leaves of Piaomiao Sect. Burn them in the furnace to absorb them, which can keep the spirit clear and the mind relaxed."
"There are the ice silkworm cushions of Bingbao, which are at the level of magic weapons. Sitting on them, the external spiritual energy can be refined by ice, no longer so violent, and more suitable for absorption."
"That ointment is a specialty of Taishan Sect. Remember to let him apply it all over his body when practicing. The effect is miraculous..."
"Tongyou Pill should be useless to him, but I have refined the third-level spiritual medicine Anhun Powder of Yaowang Sect, which is more effective than Tongyou Pill."
"Finally, these jade bottles contain the Starry Pills I refined! Containing the five elements of spiritual energy, it is suitable for cultivators of any attributes, and is a great tonic for Lingjun. Considering the difference in realm, I specially adjusted the medicinal strength. Take one pill every half a month, refine it in your mouth, and absorb it slowly!"
Meng Qin'er's hands trembled as she listened to Luo Chen's introduction.
This whole set of resources to assist in cultivation is precious even for Jindan cultivators!
But Luo Chen gave it generously, and even felt that it was prepared in advance.
For a moment, she couldn't stop thinking about the words her husband said to her.
"Master has always treated him well!"
It's true!
It's just strange that since he cared so much about Qu Lingjun, why didn't Luo Chen give these things earlier?
She didn't dare to ask this question.
She just bowed to Luo Chen, "On behalf of Lingjun, the disciple thanks Master for his great kindness!"
Luo Chen smiled and held his hand.
"No need to do that."
Then, she suddenly took out another storage bag.
"You have been guarding Lingjun all these years, and it's hard work. Here are some resources left over from my Jindan period. If you don't mind, take them!"
Meng Qin'er was stunned.
Who is Luo Chen?
Yuanying Zhenren, a great Danzong!
The resources he used in the Jindan period are the dream of any Jindan cultivator.
How could he dislike them?
Sure enough, after Luo Chen left, she carefully took out a jade bottle.
At a glance, her eyes lit up.
A third-level high-quality elixir!
Holding the jade bottle, the young woman murmured:
"Is the old master loving the house and the people in it?"
...
After leaving Qu Lingjun's place of cultivation, Luo Chen did not go back to the palace on the top of the mountain directly, but went to Xiaoshiping first.
This was originally Sima Huiniang's place of cultivation. After she went to Lingtian Pass, she gave this place full of spiritual energy to her disciple Yao Mingyue.
After all, he was the second generation leader in the history of Luotian Sect. Luo Chen would not ignore him when he returned.
After a spiritual sense investigation, Luo Chen showed a satisfied look.
Yao Mingyue's aptitude was not bad. He was just burdened by worldly affairs in his early years.
After these years of leisure, his realm has steadily improved, and he is one step away from the great perfection of the foundation-building period.
To condense the golden elixir, all he lacks is the hard work and the mastery of the Luotian Sect's secret method of condensing the elixir, "Micro Dust Yuanshu".
"I hope everything goes well for her!"
Luo Chen just gave a blessing, and did not leave many cultivation resources like he did to Qu Lingjun.
The sect had already given Yao Mingyue what should be given.
Including the third-level condensing liquid pill required for condensing the elixir.
After all, he is a meritorious minister, and the sect will not treat him unfairly.
The reason why Qu Lingjun was treated differently was actually intentional.
As the only disciple, he had never been enthusiastic about cultivation due to his limited qualifications. After years of training, his determination to seek the truth was even weaker.
Luo Chen had deliberately ignored him before, with the intention of tempering his temper.
Now that Qu Lingjun had come to his senses, he would naturally not be stingy with his reward.
With the help of a Yuanying Zhenren, a mere foundation-building cultivator seeking to form a pill would most likely succeed as long as his luck was not too bad.
"The departure of the two elders, Fu Jiusheng and Chu Kui, was a big blow to Luotian Sect."
"If Lingjun and Mingyue could make up for it, it would also boost the morale of one or two sect members."
Luo Chen sighed and then went up the mountain leisurely.
Arriving at the long-deserted mountaintop palace, Luo Chen used a cleaning technique on the residence that had been cleaned every day, making it look brand new.
Then, he patted the armrest of the chair.
"Come out!"
As if sensing something, the ground shook slightly.
Many cultivators of Luotian Sect lowered their eyebrows and looked at the ground, but they were not surprised.
After the previous battle with the demon king, they all knew that their sect also had mountain-guarding spirit beasts.
And unlike other sects, their own mountain-guarding spirit beasts were extremely powerful. According to the sect master, their strength was no less than that of a Yuanying Zhenren!
This weak earthquake was most likely caused by the "Black King" turning over in his sleep.
Get used to it!
But unlike what they thought, this time it was not the Black King turning over, but waking up.
A figure emerged from the ground and saluted Luo Chen respectfully.
"Master, what do you want to do with Xiao Hei?"
Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Spit out what you swallowed before!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, the Black King's abdomen bulged and kept moving upwards, and then in the rushing mucus, things were softly spit out one by one.
As far as the eye can see, the hall is filled with neatly arranged old jars filled with various thousand-year-old fine wines.
And a lifeless corpse!
