The time since attaining the Dao was too short, even if one achieved Fifth Order, their strength was far from that of a normal Divine Transformation Great Power.

Faced with the ambush of the Dark Abyss Sect, and the presence of the Thunder Law True Intent which naturally restrained plant spirits, the outcome for the other side was already destined.

The Qinghe Immortal struggled once, delivering significant damage to the thirty-six Nascent Soul True Masters of the Dark Abyss Sect, but when the Yu Ming Ancestor, one of the Three Great Ancestors, freed his hands from the Netherworld Huangquan Map battlefield, resistance was no longer possible.

"The White Tiger falls, Qinghe is defeated, two of the Eastern Wasteland's Three Ancient Demons are gone."

"Now that the Qinghe Immortal has been escorted back to the Mingyuan Sacred Land by the Three Great Ancestors, it will become one of our sect's hidden foundations for future rise!"

"Brother, cultivate well, for in the future, you might even use the Qinghe Immortal's body to refine pills and make medicine."

The last few words spoken by the Lingtian City Lord echoed in Luo Chen's mind as he left Lingtian Pass, unable to avoid sighing.

A majestic Fifth Order monster, no less than a Tai Sui, has now become a lower order prisoner, even being used as a resource.

In contrast, my own situation seems much better?

Of course, this self-reassurance is a mere mental victory; Luo Chen just thought about it for a moment and dismissed the notion.

Next, some real work must be done.

...

Since Ling Fengzi brought back news of Luo Chen, the restless Luo Tian Sect had quieted down.

That night, Luo Chen returned to Fenghua Palace without concealment.

Wang Yuan, Sima Huiniang, Gu Caiyi, and others had been waiting for a long time.

Amidst everyone's joyful gaze, Luo Chen took out the Soul Nurturing Banner in front of them.

"Look, who is this?" Luo Chen laughed.

Whoosh...

A ghostly wind brushed by, and a large python swam out from within the Soul Banner.

Everyone was startled.

Especially Gu Caiyi, whose Natal Magic Item, the Nether Python Whip, trembled for a moment within her Sea of Qi.

Bai Meiling excitedly looked at everyone, "It's me!"

Everyone was stunned; Gu Caiyi hesitantly asked, "Xiao Ling?"

Bai Meiling nodded repeatedly, then swam over to Gu Caiyi, snuggling closely against her tender body.

Initially, her relationship with Gu Caiyi was average, but after the changes, they became closer.

The others still found it hard to believe.

Bai Meiling, long thought to have fallen, was actually alive, and the powerful aura she emitted unequivocally declared her to be on par with a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

Sima Huiniang couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Ling, where have you been all these years? How did you come back with husband?"

Bai Meiling hesitated for a moment, then looked at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen nodded, trusting she knew what should and should not be said.

Then came the lively scene of everyone reminiscing.

Luo Chen sat in a chair, drinking the Five Temple Immortal Brew, his heart burning, a smile on his face.

Isn't this the scene he had worked so hard to see?

As long as he could settle everyone in, he could head to the Dark Abyss Sect without worry.

In that sacred land, he would focus on cultivation, aiming to advance to the Divine Transformation Stage!

By then, all problems would be solved!

Amid joyous laughter, there were guests arriving.

Or perhaps, it was the host arriving.

When Fenghua Fairy came to Qingping Mountain, she saw this harmonious scene.

"Brother Luo has returned safe and sound; I can finally be at ease," she said.

Luo Chen smiled, "Sorry to have worried you."

Fenghua Fairy gazed over everyone, her sight pausing for a long moment on Bai Meiling, then she started chatting with Luo Chen.

After a while, not wanting to disturb their reunion, she offered her farewell.

Luo Chen personally escorted her out.

At their parting, Luo Chen mentioned the matter of the open war.

Clearly, Fenghua Fairy was visibly relieved.

"For Luo Tian Sect's open war, my Fenghua Palace will definitely give full support!"

After giving this commitment, Fenghua Fairy departed happily.

She was, of course, delighted.

Though the Luo Tian Sect still had few disciples, its high-end combat strength had completely surpassed Fenghua Palace.

Luo Chen, the Supreme Elder, was needless to say.

Besides, they had Ling Fengzi, a newly joined Nascent Soul True Master.

Now there was also the unexpected appearance of Bai Meiling, the Ghost Emperor!

The other side also had two Fourth Order Spirit Pets...

A mere Qingping Mountain could no longer contain the Luo Tian Sect.

She feared that it would be easy to invite the gods but hard to send them away!

Now that they willingly proposed to leave Fenghua Palace, Fenghua Fairy naturally wanted to help.

Luo Chen didn't decline; after all, the Luo Tian Sect had much preparation to do to find a suitable Spirit Land to establish their sect gate, and Fenghua Palace's willingness to support was certainly welcome.

...

The fall of the Ancient Demons left the Eastern Wasteland Demon Clan leaderless.

In this situation, the Lingtian City Lord, still severely wounded, personally appeared, declaring the beginning of a full counterattack.

Moreover, he promised that any Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect could obtain an edict from the Dark Abyss Sect to participate in the open war.

Whether old sects or various new forces that had risen in the past century, all could join in.

For a time, countless cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland were excited.

New forces were eager to build sects from scratch.

Old forces were restless, trying to reclaim their old territories.

The ancient sects in the safer rear areas, less affected, were also plotting on how to claim a share of the war spoils.

At this time, news emerged from the Luo Tian Sect, residing within Fenghua Palace, recruiting vassals to join the open war together.

As soon as the golden signboard of "Alchemy Sect" was displayed, countless people flocked to them!
