EFB Chapter 5 First Meeting with Wang Lin
Chapter 5 First Meeting with Wang Lin
He suppressed these distracting thoughts. The fact that the Heavenly Separation Pill had already occurred meant that the fire beast crisis was imminent.
Chu Yuan frowned slightly. Once the fire beast calamity broke out, the entire Fire Burning Kingdom would be engulfed in war, and the Luohe Sect would naturally not be spared either.
Luohe Sect had been kind to him. If it weren't for Luohe Sect taking him in, he, a helpless transmigrator, would probably have become a skeleton in the wilderness long ago.
He couldn't leave this kindness unreturned.
When the fire beast calamity breaks out, he will certainly not be able to simply leave.
The problem is, with his current cultivation level at the mid-stage of Core Formation, what can he do in the face of that catastrophe that swept through the entire Fire Kingdom?
To truly possess the power to protect himself, and even the ability to safeguard the Luohe Sect, he must break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible.
The key to breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage lies with Wang Lin. As long as Wang Lin breaks through to the Core Formation stage, he can simultaneously become a Nascent Soul cultivator.
However, the constraints of the ultimate divine consciousness remain an insurmountable hurdle.
If the system cannot help him break through this bottleneck, he will have to find another way.
A name surfaced in Chu Yuan's mind: the Temple of War Gods, Divine Arts.
He needs to find a way to obtain this technique.
However, he was not a member of the Temple of War Gods. Given his current status, it would be nothing short of a fool's dream to rashly seek divine arts.
But one thing might be the catalyst: the impending war between the Fire Kingdom and the Xuanwu Kingdom.
Only in this great battle could he persuade the Temple of War to willingly lend him their divine arts for a look.
The most urgent task right now is to further improve our weapon-forging skills and prepare a few more handy magical treasures.
As for the rest... we'll talk about it when the big battle comes.
In just a few months, apart from occasionally giving guidance to the disciples on Qingyue Peak, Chu Yuan devoted the rest of his time to the weapon-refining room and forged two more flying swords of the Danbao level. Although the quality was not very high, they were practical.
On this day, he was sitting cross-legged on the top of Qingyue Peak, closing his eyes and regulating his breathing.
Suddenly, an extremely violent aura swept in from afar, engulfing the entire Fire Kingdom.
The aura was intense and violent, carrying a madness that could burn everything in its path; even from a thousand miles away, it still made people tremble.
Chu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
"They're here."
Fire Beast.
He slowly stood up, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon, where a faint crimson hue was surging.
Wang Mazi, you'd better grow faster. It would be best if you formed your core as soon as possible...
A thought suddenly flashed through Chu Yuan's mind: should he just get a Heavenly Separation Pill for Wang Lin?
It's not that he wanted to curry favor with Wang Mazi, but now his cultivation level is inextricably linked to Wang Lin's. The sooner Wang Lin breaks through, the sooner he will benefit.
In the long run, helping Wang Lin is helping yourself.
However, he only considered the idea briefly before putting it aside, as the matter required further consideration.
A few days later, a divine sense came from the main peak of Luohe Sect, its coldness carrying an undeniable majesty.
"Gentlemen of Luohe Gate, please proceed to the main hall for the council meeting immediately."
Chu Yuan stood up, and in a flash, flew towards the central hall of Luohe Gate.
The atmosphere inside the main hall was solemn.
All nine Core Formation elders had already returned and stood on both sides, each with a solemn expression.
Chu Yuan landed in his seat, glanced at everyone, and then stood quietly.
On the high platform above, the two ancestors sat enthroned.
Lan Ruo spoke calmly.
"Gentlemen, the fire beast has now broken through the seal. The territory of the Fire Kingdom is no longer suitable for habitation."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the elders in the hall changed slightly, but no one uttered a sound.
"After our discussion,"
"Effective immediately, the Fire Alliance is hereby established. Soon, the entire Luohe Sect will relocate to the territory of the neighboring Xuanwu Kingdom."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over the crowd.
"There's no need to discuss this matter; everyone, please go and make preparations as soon as possible."
Chu Yuan remained calm. Lan Ruo's words were clearly just a notification, and she had no intention of listening to anyone's opinions.
This matter was likely decided after being discussed among a few Nascent Soul level experts in the Fire Burning Kingdom.
Attacking Xuanwu Kingdom and seizing new territory for survival was the common decision of the four major sects of Huofen Kingdom.
Chu Yuan had known this day would come, so he wasn't surprised.
"Yes."
All the elders responded in unison.
Then everyone withdrew and went back to prepare.
The foundation of Luohe Gate, which has stood for thousands of years, can be moved so easily; that's quite efficient.
The entire sect was already fully prepared and rested for the next day before departing from the original location of Luohe Sect in a grand procession.
Chu Yuan stood at the front of the Luohe Gate's procession, hands behind his back, stepping on a flying sword, his robes fluttering in the wind.
He glanced back at the mountains receding into the distance, a sense of melancholy washing over him.
Having cultivated here for over fifty years, it's truly hard to leave now.
However, he only looked away for a moment.
All four major sects of the Fire Burning Kingdom gathered together, and tens of thousands of cultivators formed a winding dragon that stretched for several miles, creating a magnificent spectacle.
The sky was filled with the figures of cultivators, some riding swords, some walking on clouds, and some riding spirit beasts. The various colored lights intertwined, creating a spectacular sight.
Chu Yuan quietly spread his divine sense, scanning through the crowd.
As expected, Wang Lin was not there.
Just then, a ripple suddenly came from ahead.
Several figures appeared out of thin air at the front of the group; they were the Nascent Soul Ancestors of the four major sects.
The progenitor of the Temple of War was a dignified old man with piercing eyes and an unfathomable aura emanating from him.
He looked around, spoke in a deep voice, not loud, but it drowned out all the noise.
"Set off!"
As soon as he finished speaking, tens of thousands of cultivators set off in unison, flying towards Xuanwu Kingdom in a grand procession.
Chu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, stepping on a flying sword, flying slowly in the middle of the group.
The procession was enormous, stretching for miles, with the cultivators' escape lights flowing across the sky like a long river.
Having flown for only half a day, Chu Yuan suddenly frowned, opened his eyes, and looked towards the left side of the formation.
A massive, blazing, and violent aura was surging in from that direction, densely packed, numbering at least several hundred.
That was the aura of a fire beast. Most low-level fire beasts only had the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage, but they were numerous and fearless. If they attacked the flanks of the team, they would be troublesome.
At the very front of these fire beasts, there was also an aura of someone in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
Many cultivators noticed the commotion and a stir immediately broke out in the group.
"Oh no! It's a fire beast!"
"Everyone, let's move in! Follow my lead and provide support!"
Several Core Formation elders rushed out first, each using their own techniques to meet the group of fire beasts.
Seeing this, Chu Yuan flashed and instantly appeared directly in front of the group of fire beasts.
The herd of fire beasts surged forward, the closest one less than a hundred feet away from him.
At the very front of the fire beast horde, a figure was fleeing at top speed.
The man was dressed in the robes of a disciple of the Temple of War, and had obviously been chased by this group of fire beasts for quite some time, with several burns on his body.
Wang Lin, no, at this moment he was still using the alias Ma Liang, saw a person suddenly appear in front of him and quickly stopped, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid.
