Chapter 2135: Chapter 784: Luotian’s Old Stories, Another Realization of Withering and Flourishing (Part 2)

”But at this moment, the host is no longer the physically strong me, but the frail Hui Niang. Therefore, it will devour the heart and consume the soul to continue growing!”

In the depths of his mind, Luo Chen comprehended everything.

Mumbling inwardly, his fingers fell upon the lips of the woman sleeping soundly beside him.

A droplet of blood squeezed out, instantly stained her pale lips.

Under the surveillance of divine consciousness, within the sea of qi, the golden core slightly trembled, yet it was bound by the prohibition Luo Chen set.

Luo Chen timely released the prohibition, then saw a wave of qi power sweep the droplet of blood away.

The golden core, the blood color deepened!

The woman’s elegant brows, however, fully relaxed!

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen opened his mouth but eventually sighed lightly.

”After all, it’s my oversight.”

...

”Zhou Yuanli perished in the Xiao Yue Mountain Range during the demon tide outbreak.”

”Bai Meiling’s soul disappeared while escaping.”

”Xing Zonghan forcibly cultivated the ’Dust Origin Technique,’ suffered demonic deviation, his dao cultivation greatly damaged, he voluntarily chose to bring up the rear during a sect-wide retreat, his fate unknown.”

”Mi Li, along with her son Qu Jiu, waited in vain within the sect for Qu Lingjun for ten years, ultimately dying with regret.”

”The couple Duan Feng, skilled in ore identification, were ordered by True Master Jin Ling of the Five Elements Divine Sect during the Wuji Domain’s Liangyi Xilin support battle, perished within, leaving no progeny.”

”Xu Huanzhen passed away on the battlefield of the San Tu River.”

”The Luo Yun Sect Supreme Elder disappeared, the Xiao Yue Mountain Range was breached, resulting in the death of numerous disciples and sect members. Moreover, to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in early years, Han Zhan monopolized too many interests of the Luo Yun Sect, and when the war opened and failed, internal conflict arose within the Luo Yun Sect. To seize power, the sect split into three factions: the Sect Leader’s faction, Han Zhan’s grandson Han Zheng’s faction, and the Great Elder Cheng Yan’s faction stationed at Sky Drum Plain initially. The strife among the three factions resulted in countless deaths and injuries. Qin Yuanjiang of the Sect Leader’s faction, his dao companion Ruan Huan ’Er unfortunately died in the internal conflict, his mother Murong Qinglian was severely injured, Qin Yuanjiang disheartened left with his mother to join the Luo Tian Sect.”

”Murong Qinglian, perished within the Luo Tian Sect.”

...

Leaves were flying, the wind was lamenting.

Luo Chen sat upright outside Hui Niang’s cave mansion on the small stone square, looking through the ”Luotian Chronicles” of Luo Tian Sect over the years.

This document started being compiled when Luo Tian Sect was still Luo Tian Creed.

Divided into three parts, for years, one was preserved in the Scripture Pavilion, one carried by the contemporary Sect Master, and one held by Luo Chen.

Luo Chen’s copy had long stopped a hundred years ago.

What he was now looking at had been sent by someone from Yao Mingyue’s side.

It recorded few accounts of things outside the sect, mostly the major internal shifts of Luo Tian Sect.

And what Luo Chen focused on were those familiar yet unfamiliar names.

Since arriving in Baili Qingchuan, his divine consciousness had already swept over this area, discovering many old familiar breaths, yet many more absent.

Now, at this time, not staying within the sect meant something, Luo Chen was actually prepared mentally long ago.

But when he actually saw the contents on the ”Luotian Chronicles,” he still pressed his lips tightly, gritted his teeth, his brow ceaselessly twitching.

He did not know what he felt inside.

Regret? Sorrow? Or pain?

Or perhaps there was anger?

Anger at the Demon Beasts’ invasion, anger at the multiple forces’ crushing, anger at the Five Elements Divine Sect not treating Luo Tian disciples as humans, anger at the Luo Yun Sect’s infighting resulting in the death of revered friends.

Even, anger at his own inaction!

A pressure akin to thunder descending appeared on and off his body.

Plop!

Xu Xiao Liu, responsible for delivering the books, too close, could not withstand this pressure and kneeled to the ground.

”Alas...”

Gray-haired Xu Xiao Liu heard a sigh next to his ear, and then felt the heavenly pressure dissipating.

He cautiously lifted his head.

”Xiao Liuzi, you are still as slippery as ever, they all passed away, and you’re the only one still alive.”

Xu Xiao Liu was stunned, not knowing how to respond.

Then saw the young man smiling self-deprecatingly, muttering to himself: ”Indeed, only slippery ones like you and I can survive anywhere like mudfish and worms.”

Xu Xiao Liu relaxed inwardly, speaking in an elderly voice: ”How could the Supreme Elder be like Xiao Liuzi, I’m merely a small creature struggling for survival, while you’re like the clear moon in the sky, unfazed by the wind and rain.”

”You, even at your age, still flatter just like back in the day.”

Luo Chen chuckled softly, released a wave of qi power.

Lifting the gray-haired Xu Xiao Liu onto the stone chair opposite him.

Xu Xiao Liu sat upright, his hands resting on his knees, the man opposite as young as ever, his manner was quite comforting.

It seemed nothing had changed, yet everything had.

It’s been many years since anyone called him Xiao Liuzi, but now it felt especially endearing.

”Xiao Liuzi, tell me about the current situation within the sect!”

”Hmm.”

Perhaps because of Luo Chen’s calm demeanor, Xu Xiao Liu relaxed significantly and recounted the present situation of Luo Tian Sect in detail.

”My sect now has three hundred sect disciples, over two hundred Qi Refinement Cultivators and mortals, about thirty Foundation Establishment generation, but the number of Golden Core Cultivators is unusually high, with nine Golden Core Ascendant Masters!”

”The nine Golden Cores are Sima the Old Sect Master, Elder Fu Jiusheng, Elder Chu Kui, Elder Gu Caiyi, Elder Min Longyu, Elder Li Yingzhang, Elder Yang Pingdu, and Elder Qin Yuanjiang.”

Wang Yuan and Sha Dragon Child, although having Golden Core combat power, strictly speaking, are not Golden Core Cultivators.

They are Body Refiners.
