Chapter 1315: Chapter 498: Prolonging Life for Seventy Years, The Good Man Goes on Another Campaign_3

Seeing the elder’s reluctance, he earnestly said, "Moreover, in my view at the time, he showed slight signs of demonic deviation, and what he did wasn’t done willingly. You really shouldn’t take it to heart."

Cen Qiusheng furrowed his brow. "Those who fall into demonic deviation lack self-control and act purely on instinct. If that isn’t his true self, then what is?"

"As cultivators, we all have desires, and we all have evil thoughts. The heart’s lake may stir up waves, and once it bursts, the key is whether one can control it or not."

Luo Chen defended Di Wuqi briefly.

At last, he added, "After all, he ultimately didn’t strike against your Cen family cultivators. What grounds do you have to make trouble?"

Cen Qiusheng opened his mouth.

In the end, he sighed helplessly.

He had no reason to make trouble; without Luo Chen’s help and lacking the power, he could only swallow his pride.

Moreover, in the days to come, he probably still had to maintain a facade of cordiality.

"Let it go, think it over!"

"Doesn’t your Cen family still have Cen Guangwei?"

"Now that you are also back, earnestly guiding him for a few decades might well add another Golden Core Ascendant Master to your clan."

"By then, with two Golden Cores in a single family, Di Wuqi won’t be able to do anything to you."

Luo Chen reassured him a bit, then got up to take his leave.

Cen Qiusheng personally saw him off from Hui Meng Ridge.

Before leaving, he curiously asked another question.

"Did Di Wuqi really fall into demonic deviation at that time?"

Luo Chen slightly smiled, did not directly answer, and simply said, "Perhaps!"

...

Naturally, Di Wuqi hadn’t fallen into demonic deviation at the time.

But his cultivation was not progressing smoothly and not advancing to the Middle-Stage Golden Core, which indeed made him irritable and allowed Luo Chen to easily breach his mental defenses.

Moreover, influenced by that battle, if he didn’t adjust his mindset soon, his cultivation would only face more difficulties.

This might sound a bit mysterious.

In fact, that is the nature of cultivation.

Especially after reaching the Golden Core stage, each minor realm involves the transformation of the Divine Soul.

The final step is the formation of the Nascent Soul from the Golden Core.

During this process, the integration of the Golden Core and the Divine Soul is crucial.

Rumor has it that when a cultivator faces the Nascent Soul Formation and Thunder Tribulation, they might encounter the Heart Demon Tribulation!

In this state, cultivators are very susceptible to being influenced by their mental states.

Luo Chen was very familiar with this phenomenon.

Perhaps because he was a transmigrator, he was more susceptible to the influence of Heart Demons than these Golden Core cultivators.

In the Qi Refinement Stage, he had faced a Heart’s Test once, and in the Foundation Establishment Stage, due to hatred, he too had encountered a Demonic Obstruction.

It was precisely because of this that he had noticed something was amiss with Di Wuqi.

But others’ issues, he was too lazy to remind them; Di Wuqi was too powerful and having him around wasn’t to his benefit.

The lesson he learned from this incident was that he needed to be more careful in his subsequent cultivation.

Better not to create another drama by triggering another Heart’s Test during the Golden Core Period.

What somewhat reassured Luo Chen was probably his self-created "Dust Origin Technique."

This technique integrated Miao Wen’s "Wind-Calming Wave" and Luo Yun Sect’s "Bead Curtain Lock."

Once cultivated to the Completion Stage, it could greatly suppress emotional fluctuations and frequent arising thoughts.

As he was about to return to Snow Wolf Flat, Luo Chen looked back at the brightly lit and bustling Hui Meng Ridge.

Helping Cen Qiusheng deal with Di Wuqi was impossible.

He himself needed to make a trip to the front line soon, as the alliance still required Di Wuqi to hold the fort.

At the same time, he couldn’t let his power grow unchecked, hence the need for Fu Jiusheng and Cen Qiusheng to curb Di Wuqi’s influence.

This shallow logic, Luo Chen fully understood.

Acting on it was even more a piece of cake.

No matter what, he was an "old ancestor" figure who had founded his own sect.

Privately, he still had to maneuver between Sima Hui Niang and Gu Caiyi.

When it came to carrying water and such, he was quite skilled!

...

With Cen Qiusheng back, the Luo Tian Alliance inevitably had to send another person to the front line to join the Nine Sects Sword Hall.

Previously, Luo Chen had used Fu Jiusheng’s need to set up Arrays and cultivate the sect’s blessed land as an excuse to reject the proposal to send Fu Jiusheng to the battlefield.

That price, naturally, meant that he himself had to step in when the time came.

For this matter, Luo Chen wasn’t really afraid.

Once bitten, twice shy!

He still had a few tricks up his sleeve on how to preserve himself in the chaotic battlefield.

Moreover, from the information in Cen Qiusheng’s words, the Human Alliance Army led by Luo Yun Sect had gradually eradicated the Demon Beast strongholds on the outskirts of the Xiao Yue Mountain Range.

Next, it would be to completely eliminate the Ao Xiao Wolf Court and seize the only Fourth Order Spiritual Vein Land in the depths of the Xiao Yue Mountain Range!

Under such a grand battle, Luo Yun Sect had already begun to mobilize all possible forces.

Luo Chen’s past contributions would be the icing on the cake; there was no need to fight to the death like in the battle at Accumulation Thunder Mountain.

Of course!

Even so, Luo Chen still made thorough preparations.

Not only had his condition reached its peak.

He had also perfected the Sect’s deployments.

Firstly, he had moved Sima Huiniang over to oversee the major and minor affairs of the Luo Tian Sect at Snow Wolf Flat.

Danxia Peak was left to Gu Caiyi to handle.

There was no need to worry about any mishaps there. With Duan Feng, Feng Xia, Li Yingzhang, and Qu Lingjun assisting her, the experienced Gu Caiyi could hold her own. The support from Qingdan Valley and Tian Lan Immortal City’s Hao Ranzi also meant that no one would dare target Danxia Peak.

Secondly, at Snow Wolf Flat, under the leadership of Fu Jiusheng and Min Longyu, several Arrays had been set up in response to the local conditions to guard against Demon Beasts.

Lastly, Luo Chen had also had a secret discussion with Di Wuqi.

He promised that upon his return, he would provide Di Wuqi with Medium Grade Starry Pills to help him breakthrough to the Middle Stage Golden Core.

Having defeated Di Wuqi once before and now enticing him with Medium Grade Starry Pills.

Through such a combination of soft and hard tactics, Di Wuqi naturally agreed to sit tight at Luo Tian Alliance.

Before leaving,

Luo Chen not only had a tender moment with Sima Huiniang but also visited the Immortal Mansions of Wang Yuan and Chu Kui.

One was silent and tightly closed, as if in deep seclusion.

The other was mastering the Slaying Dragon Technique, having removed most of the foreign Golden Core Qi Power from his body, and in no more than ten years, he would be pure and could attempt to break through to the Golden Core Period again.

"Sorry, I can’t fight alongside you this time."

In front of Chu Kui’s Cave Mansion, the other party regretfully said.

Luo Chen waved his hand nonchalantly, "After you form your Core, join me then!"

With that said, Luo Chen no longer lingered, transformed into Glint, and leaped onto the hovering Red Flame Dragon Boat in the sky.

As soon as he boarded, Zeng Yilong and Xing Zonghan came to greet him.

"Is everything settled?"

"Everyone is ready!"

Luo Chen’s gaze swept over the eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators standing on the deck.

Cultivators from various families quickly bowed to him in greeting.

"If so, let’s set off!"

With a wave of his sleeve, surging Qi Power poured into the much-reduced Red Flame Dragon Boat, instantly transforming the boat into a sharp arrow that advanced toward the depths of the Xiao Yue Mountain Range.

And on various mountain peaks, eyes followed the slowly receding shadow of the Flying Boat.

After watching Luo Chen leave, Chu Kui gave a slight smile, turned around, and also entered his Cave Mansion, tightly closing the door.

On Snow Wolf Flat, under the protection of Yao Mingyue and Yuan Xiaoyue, Sima Huiniang silently watched another departure.

Yao Mingyue softly comforted, "Master, the Supreme Elder will surely return safely."

Yuan Xiaoyue also spoke, "The Supreme Elder is very powerful, Sect Leader, you needn’t worry."

Faced with their reassurance, Sima Huiniang caressed the back of her hand.

There was a flowing bulge there.

It was the Spirit Beetle that she and Luo Chen had refined together back in the day.

After years of nurturing, the Spirit Beetle within her had reached the Second Order Level.

And the Spirit Beetle in Luo Chen’s body was probably close to the Third Order Level now.

With this beetle, no matter the distance, she could sense whether Luo Chen was alive or dead.

This method was no less significant than the Nascent Soul Sect’s soul lamp.

"I’m naturally not worried; he has never let people down!"

The woman’s soft words drifted in the mountain breeze.

Though light, they contained boundless deep trust.

Indeed!

When had Luo Chen ever let anyone down?

This time, it was just another departure of her beloved on a campaign!
