After the Shouyang Discourse, Lingtian Pass was engulfed in a feverish atmosphere.

The great decisive battle is imminent!

In light of this, no one dared to slack off.

The surviving sects' experts from the rear led countless lower-order cultivators, continuously flooding into Lingtian Pass.

Not only were the Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects summoned, but a large number of Golden Core Sects, and even some Foundation Establishment Stage forces of less renown, were also included in the conscription range.

Originally, the number of cultivators in Lingtian Pass and even the Five Domains of Lingtian had plummeted to below ten million after the last siege battle.

But with a daily replenishment of tens of thousands, it swelled up crazily like a pumped-up balloon.

Even in the Dark Abyss Sect, the number of lower-order cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm had unknowingly reached one hundred thousand!

Such a large number of cultivators were positioned in Lingtian Pass and the nearby five domains, starting to construct defensive fortifications and set up array fortresses, quietly awaiting the demon clan's massive army's attack.

The reason for waiting on defense, rather than proactively attacking, is quite understandable.

In terms of numbers, the human clan is at an absolute disadvantage, and if the battlefield spreads too wide, they would face a situation of being outnumbered, which is too dangerous.

But after the participation of the Dark Abyss Sect, in terms of high-level combat power, especially the Nascent Soul True Master segment, the number has begun to surpass the demon clan's.

With the array as such a powerful weapon, waiting for the enemy to bring themselves to the door is undoubtedly the best choice.

...

"He Huang, you are too kind."

"No worries, it's merely a white feather I shed during transformation, containing only a Nascent Soul level strike. Compared to you helping me fully succeed in transforming, it's nothing. If you don't accept it, that would be an insult to me."

"Indeed, Alchemy Sect, you should accept it! Even if you don't use it yourself, giving it to a favored sect disciple or successor isn't bad. Also, this 'Stepping Void Step', I've heard you have been collecting such body refinement techniques. Though it's incomplete, it might inspire you."

Faced with the back-and-forth exchange between True Master Xian He and He Huang, Luo Chen smiled, generously accepting the white feather and the incomplete 'Stepping Void Step.'

Speaking of which, He Huang had expressed a desire to visit Luo Chen ever since he successfully transformed.

But over the years, the two never had the opportunity to meet.

Instead, after this Shouyang Discourse, He Huang came on his own initiative, presenting a rather precious gift.

This clearly showed that He Huang also sensed Luo Chen's increasing prestige and the recent changes.

"With the great battle approaching, the City Lord Mansion has decided to have us return to the White Crane Domain, hoping we can fully leverage the strength that's been built there over the millennium. We probably won't be able to see you shortly, friend," revealed True Master Xian He.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, "This is only fitting."

With a large influx of cultivators from the forces behind and numerous high-level Nascent Soul True Masters stationed at Lingtian Pass, True Master Xian He and He Huang seemed less crucial.

Sending them back to the White Crane Domain is undoubtedly the most appropriate decision.

He then chuckled, saying, "Compared to Lingtian Pass, the Five Domains, although also a target of attack, are relatively much safer. You might find it more relaxing going there."

True Master Xian He nodded slightly, stroking his beard with a smile, "Indeed, but with your great prowess, Lingtian Pass isn't willing to let you leave; you can't head to the rear."

Luo Chen shrugged, sighing, "There's nowhere else to go anyway, as Baili Qingchuan is already a place of refuge, where else can my sect retreat to?"

Saying that, his expression of helplessness gradually turned into one of raging battle intent.

"Last time, I missed the battle at Lingtian Pass and could only mournfully hear of the fall of friends like Xiao Shiniang and Master Mu. This time, with me here, if the demon clan wants to invade the city, they must pay a heavy price!"

True Master Xian He and He Huang exchanged a glance, a hint of approval in their eyes.

The name of Luo Chen, the Demon Slayer True Master, is indeed quite prominent.

The Fourth Order Demon Emperors who died at his hands are among the best of their rank; as long as he doesn't encounter a commander-level Great Demon Emperor... no, from Luo Chen daringly withstanding a blow from Lei Daozi at Shouyang Mountain, it's likely even a Great Demon Emperor can't easily defeat Luo Chen!

The three continued chatting for a while until Luo Chen personally saw them off from Danluo Mountain, concluding their private meeting.

Luo Chen stood in the mountains, watching old friends gradually fade into the distance, his expression reflective.

Although the White Crane Domain is safe, it is only relatively so.

After the great decisive battle, whether they meet again will depend on luck.

However, Luo Chen remains optimistic about this battle overall.

With the Dark Abyss Sect actively uniting the Eastern Wasteland's forces compared to North Sea's scattered cultivation world, it is much better.

Dozens of Nascent Soul True Masters are something the current North Sea Cultivation World can't match.

Though he is optimistic about this battle, comparing it to the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, Luo Chen couldn't help but shake his head.

The Tianyuan Daoist Sect has ruled Zhongzhou for three thousand years, managing it as an impregnable fortress, and producing over two hundred Nascent Soul True Masters in a single region, overshadowing the other four continents!

Now, they are sending their elite forces to fervently conquer the North Sea.

Unlike the Dark Abyss Sect, which is still grudgingly defending.

"Forget it, instead of overthinking, it's better to do what I can."

"Recently, many have actively come to visit me, gradually boosting my prestige, which is a good thing. In the future, when facing the Dark Abyss Sect's recruitment, I'll have more confidence. But this way, it does take up some of my cultivation time."

Where there are gains, there are losses. For a moment, Luo Chen had little to say.

He could only seize his leisure moments to improve his own strength as much as possible.
