Chapter 1552: Chapter 575: Immortal Sect Defense Treasure Refining Method_3

For thousands of years, the untroubled inheritance cannot simply be glossed over with the phrase “flee far across the sea.”

If a Divine Transformation Great Power were to make a move, an ordinary Sect could be overturned with a flip of the hand!

Add to that, with the Demon Sect perishing, the Penglai Immortal Sect will soon return to the Inner Territory, desiring to vie for the title of leader of the North Sea, yet the massive entity of the Canghai Alliance still looms overhead.

What gives them the confidence?

Recalling the tone in which Fu Chaosheng previously spoke of the Penglai Immortal Sect, Luo Chen faintly had a guess.

This so-called Penglai Immortal Sect is very likely related to the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

Only thus can all of this be explained.

And the subsequent developments continuously verified Luo Chen’s guess.

The strange Golden Core Cultivators who came in one after another, upon their arrival, were mostly greeting Yu Gao.

Even those who did not recognize him also went to become acquainted with Yu Gao through someone else’s introduction.

You must know, these guests were all invited by Tianyuan Building, being friendly counterparts associated with the Tianyuan Commercial Alliance in certain business aspects.

Their eagerness to know Yu Gao must have been indicated by the Tianyuan Commercial Alliance.

Yu Gao’s behavior also matched Luo Chen’s expectations.

Towards Rogue Cultivators, he was neither cold nor warm.

Towards Family Cultivators of Sect Clans, he was friendly and kind.

And if they had close cooperation with the Tianyuan Commercial Alliance, he was quite warm.

The previous so-called demeanor of a Chu Chen Immortal had disappeared in the face of his ever-changing attitude.

Luo Chen watched with a cold eye, his mind becoming ever clearer.

“That True Master Fu’s words earlier belittled the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, saying that the Canghai Alliance would be defeated, but was impartial towards the Penglai Immortal Sect. Thinking back now, he was actually hinting at me to join the Sect.”

“If the Tianyuan Daoist Sect is willing to accept me, then I would definitely agree. But the Penglai Immortal Sect…”

Luo Chen shook his head inwardly, knowing that the Sect’s internal unity was ironclad, and yet his own strength was not at the Holy Land level. If his own matters were exposed, there would be absolutely no protection for him.

Thus, it is better not to go to Penglai.

What about the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, then?

Luo Chen looked forward to seeing some Cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering at this Golden Core meeting hosted by Tianyuan Building.

Regrettably, with more than a dozen people coming in, not one was a Rogue Cultivator from the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering.

Just as he felt disappointed, his heart suddenly tightened.

At the entrance, the water rippled, and five people entered in succession!

The leader had a sinister face, clearly not someone to mess with, and the aura of the Late Golden Core Stage he exuded served as confirmation.

What caused Luo Chen’s heart to tighten was the man who was the second among the five.

With a Flying Cloud Bun, brown attire, and dressed like a Daoist, his eyes sharp.

An old acquaintance indeed!

As expected, during Dan Shubao’s introduction, the origins of the five were revealed one by one.

“This person is under the first Lord Liu of Mo Luo Sect, Daoist Ying Mo!”

“This person is under the Mo Luo Sect’s Blood Nightmare Sect Leader, Daoist Wu Shen!”

“This person is under the Lie Tian Sect Master, Hundred Transformation Monster!”

“This one is…”

The Mo Luo Sect, most of its members have ties with the Demon Sect.

The titles of their High-Order Cultivators also often relate to deities, demons, and fantastical beings.

Just like Wu Qi, born on Wu Shen Island, he takes the name of Wu Shen for himself.

With just one glance, Luo Chen saw Wu Qi.

The other seemed to notice, but with everyone else looking at him, he couldn’t detect Luo Chen’s gaze.

However, he did stop for a while on Luo Chen, his face showing a puzzled expression.

For this trip to Feileng City, Luo Chen had changed his appearance.

With the Completion Stage of “The Flow of All Things,” he could easily change parts of his body and mimic the breath of others. Ordinary people really couldn’t see through his disguise.

And his characteristic red face was only gradually deepened after Wu Qi left, having consumed a large amount of True Flame Pills and practicing the “Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra” over a long time.

Therefore, though Wu Qi felt some familiarity, he couldn’t recognize Luo Chen for a moment.

Nevertheless, he didn’t have the spare energy to pursue the source of that induction and took the initiative to become acquainted with Yu Gao and others instead.

Luo Chen quietly watched the bustling scene of the gathering from a corner.

Five people from the Mo Luo Sect came at once, each representing five of the Twelve Sect Masters.

Right away, they engaged with Yu Gao from the Penglai Immortal Sect with enthusiasm during their interaction.

So could this be interpreted as the Tianyuan Merchant acting as a mediator, consciously fostering an alliance between the Penglai Immortal Sect and the Mo Luo Sect?

Or maybe, at a higher level, interactions between the three parties had been going on for a long time?

As the pillar of strength among Golden Core Cultivators, were their current interactions part of the implementation stage of the alliance?

Having not analyzed major trends in many years, Luo Chen’s current analysis was not the slightest bit rusty.

Through many a hint and clue, he had clearly caught a glimpse of the truth.

At the very least, the absence of Rogue Cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering and Canghai Alliance Cultivators among the attendees today corroborated part of his speculation!

The people had all arrived.

Thus, today’s private gathering was officially declared started.

And the contents of the gathering weren’t complicated.

It began with a bartering session.

Everyone came from all corners of the world and, as Golden Core Cultivators, whether it was production from their own or spoils from battle, all had a large stockpile of materials.

Because of different Cultivation Techniques, some seemingly precious resources were not so important in their own hands.

It made sense to trade them in exchange for things that were of benefit to oneself.

Luo Chen had experienced such events many times before and was quite seasoned with them.

However, looking at the items brought out by other Cultivators for trade, he was mostly indifferent.

Some Elixirs were good, but in small quantity, not much use to him.
