Chapter 2145: Chapter 788: Persuasion by Reason, Subjugation by Power
The banquet begins, dishes are served.
Also, there are female cultivators invited from Lingtian Pass, performing melodious dances, playing zithers and flutes.
Amidst the endless stream of people, two figures move against the flow, sitting beside Luo Chen.
Facing the curious gazes of the crowd, Luo Chen simply introduced, "These are my two Dao companions, Sima Huiniang and Gu Caiyi!"
The Nascent Soul True Masters glanced at the two women, nodded signaling, and memorized their features and breath.
If encountered in the future, they would show some favor to Luo Chen, not saying treating them with ceremonies, at least not making things difficult.
Due to these kind glances, the tight bodies under the dresses of the two women relaxed.
The two women sat behind Luo Chen, watching the man merrily talking and drinking with the crowd, occasionally exchanging glances, finding joy in each other’s eyes.
Once desired to achieve Foundation Establishment but was unattainable.
Now they have built Dao Foundation, formed Golden Core, and can even sit calmly among Nascent Soul True Masters.
This is a fantastical scene they never envisioned!
And all of this is owed to the man before them.
As their hearts surged, the dance in the hall had long stopped, only accompanied by the gentle sound of zithers, and casual conversations among Nascent Soul True Masters.
"North Sea?"
"Yes, precisely North Sea. The customs there are strikingly different from our Eastern Wasteland, especially the abundant resources, even rogue cultivators can achieve Nascent Soul Dao!"
"I have read in records about the richness of North Sea resources, but never expected them to be so plentiful that rogue cultivators can achieve Nascent Soul Stage."
"Not just Nascent Soul! Like the Three Great Independent Cultivators, they are existences capable of competing with Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators. Overseas powerhouses are truly as numerous as stars, countless indeed!"
"Three Great Independent Cultivators? Might one of them be called Blood Independent Cultivator?"
"Jiuling Yuanjun, do you perhaps know this person?"
"In my younger years, I traveled the West Desert and did indeed meet this person. At that time, he was being hunted by the West Desert Buddhism, looking quite desperate. But even being desperate, he survived, and I sparred with him once, coming out equal. He is indeed a hero of his time, definitely not inferior to us sect cultivators."
"True Master Luo, you’ve reached Nascent Soul Stage within a century, I presume you’re quite renowned in North Sea?"
"I have a bit of reputation, but compared to the current great wars in North Sea, it’s hardly worth mentioning."
"North Sea great war..."
Luo Chen started with a pretext and began recounting the tales of North Sea.
It must be said, exotic charms are indeed captivating.
Under his vivid narration, the atmosphere in the venue became lively.
Especially upon hearing the details of the Demon Sect’s annihilation and the emergence of the new four great overlords of North Sea, each person became a bit stirred.
However, under the smiling gaze from Lingtian City Lord, no one had such unnecessary thoughts.
The demise of Yuan Mo Sect was due to their inability, falling to such a fate.
The Dark Abyss Sect is not that weak, to be crushed by mere Demon Clan, saying such would be humiliating.
Suddenly.
"Friend Luo, you said after escaping Cangwu Mountain, you went to North Sea?"
It was Lin Qingxuan, once a friend, now a pressing challenger.
Luo Chen smiled slightly. Since he initiated the North Sea topic, he was naturally prepared.
Using this chance, revealing some of the past half-truths, to prevent incessant speculation about him.
He nodded affirmatively.
"Yes!"
Lin Qingxuan shook his head suddenly, "Impossible, so many Nascent Soul True Masters and Golden Core experts couldn’t escape, how could you have escaped?"
Luo Chen remained calm, "I don’t know if they escaped, but how can you assume I couldn’t? You weren’t there, how could you know the details?"
Lin Qingxuan was startled, then looked at the two people from Five Elements Divine Sect present today.
Shenhuo immediately took over the conversation.
"Back then, to rescue the trapped cultivators, Dark Abyss Sect organized three Great Cultivators to enter Cangwu Mountain. In the final battle, Mingyuan Great Power personally acted, forcing Cangwu Mountain to escape into Azure Darkness."
"In that battle, Tianji Hui Ping and Master He Huan died tragically, and our sect ancestor was also severely injured."
"In such a dangerous situation, you were merely at Golden Core Realm, how could you have survived?"
The speech was both urgent and slow, the inside story shocking the present crowd.
The battle at Cangwu Mountain was known by all, but few knew the detailed inside story.
Tianji Hui Ping and Master He Huan were absolute powerhouses renowned for centuries.
What kind of attack did they suffer to not even escape with their Nascent Souls and fall?
And how did a Fifth Order Holy Land manage to escape far into Azure Darkness?
At this moment, True Master Shenhuo casually revealed, causing everyone’s gaze to involuntarily fix on Luo Chen.
Back then Luo Chen was only at Golden Core Period, yet he survived?
What does this signify?
The golden-robed man beside True Master Shenhuo said sinisterly, "Could it be, you are with the Demon Clan..."
"Could it be, you don’t know the technique of teleportation in the void?"
A light laughter, mixed with ridicule.
Luo Chen glanced at the golden-robed man and amidst the crowd’s confusion, an object appeared in his hand.
He casually tossed it, and the compass-like item full of cracks flew before Lingtian City Lord.
"Inside Cangwu, there is an ultimate teleportation big formation, using this formation to travel from North Sea to Cangwu by night, directly crossing Nine Heavens into Azure Darkness."
"But this formation is significant, Cangwu Mountain Demon Cultivators wouldn’t easily activate it unless absolutely necessary, back then they were truly forced by the Dark Abyss Sect predecessors."
"And this gave me, Luo, the perfect chance to escape."
"Taking advantage of the teleportation in the void, I activated my self-made teleportation plate...but unfortunately, at that time my realm was low, unable to control direction and distance, eventually being thrown into the North Sea Cultivation World."
