Luo Chen nodded lightly, then looked solemnly at Caiyi.
"These are Five Elents Sword Pills; each one is a True Device, painstakingly refined by your husband."
"Separated, they are peerlessly sharp; combined, their might is vast. They can even form the Great Five Elents Sword Formation; dominating the Nascent Soul Realm will be no problem!"
"Caiyi, you’ve just ford your Nascent Soul, the foundation of Magic Items in your body is still insufficient, and they haven’t been tempered into True Devices by Thunder Tribulation, so they don’t help much in your current battles. I’ll temporarily give you these five Sword Pills, and I’ll also leave you a set of Formation Maps and a large amount of Qi Power. When the ti cos, you’ll be able to forcibly activate the Great Five Elents Sword Formation and deal with any enemy!"
Gu Caiyi hesitated, and did not reach out to take them.
She looked at Luo Chen in puzzlent. "With such a powerful Precious item, it should be even more formidable in your hands, husband. Why give it to ?"
Luo Chen smiled gently. "Do you still rember that old man from Luo Tian Sect?"
Gu Caiyi spoke without thinking. "Zhou Yunshen?"
Luo Chen smiled, as if recalling the past. "Yes, he is the Ancestor of the Zhou Family of Zhongzhou. When I first t him, it was even before Zhongzhou; their Clan was still in the North Sea back then. I secretly reached a cooperation agreent with him. Once I make a move against Zhongzhou, the Zhou Family will inevitably be affected afterwards. So, you need to do sothing for . When we attack East Yuan Continent, you will make a trip to Tian Nan Continent, pick up the important mbers of the Zhou Family, and bring them back to the Eastern Wasteland."
Gu Caiyi subconsciously nodded, then reached out to take the Five-Colored Sword Pills.
But just as her hand closed around the razor-sharp Sword Pills, she suddenly raised her head.
"Husband, are you deliberately sending away, not wanting to join the frontal battlefield?"
Luo Chen shook his head with a smile. "How could you think that? This matter is your husband’s promise. If the Zhou Family encounters disaster, wouldn’t your husband be breaking his word? Moreover, that Zhou Yunshen is willing to travel countless miles to Luo Tian Sect before his term of life ends; that shows how important this is. There aren’t many people I can completely trust. Caiyi, you won’t disappoint your husband, will you?"
Gu Caiyi put the Sword Pills away, half doubtful, half convinced. "Caiyi will see this matter through to Perfection, and will definitely not let husband down."
"Good. Then hurry and do a simple sacrificial refinent on these five Sword Pills and this Formation Map. There are still three years left; it will barely be enough."
Gu Caiyi took a Formation Map from Luo Chen’s hand as well, then hurried away.
Cang Long stood to the side, a bit of envy in her gaze.
She could feel that Luo Chen’s special favor toward Gu Caiyi carried a gentle affection different from what existed between herself and Luo Chen.
This was sothing she had never seen between Luo Chen and Sima Huiniang. Toward Sima Huiniang, what Luo Chen showed was more responsibility.
However, when her eyes fell on that Formation Map, Cang Long again felt a sense of familiarity.
The Great Five Elents Sword Formation?
Plus the strong Luoyun Sect Puppet control style she’d sensed on that White Tiger Puppet earlier.
Cang Long inopportunely brought up Han Zhan.
"Senior brother, you and Han Zhan...?"
Luo Chen said calmly, "There are indeed so grudges and entanglents. It’s a long story."
Cang Long said thoughtfully, "In that case, then there’s no need to say more."
"It’s fine. Telling you is no problem." Luo Chen’s gaze grew distant as he began to speak of past events.
From being imprisoned together at Cangwu Mountain, then to the North Sea, and finally to the desperate life-and-death struggle between the two of them on Longyuan Island.
Bit by bit, detail by detail. By the ti his words were exhausted, the moon was already high in the sky.
The more Cang Long listened, the quieter she beca. That old friend of hers turned out to be soone so deeply scheming and ill-intentioned.
In the end—
Cang Long sighed softly. "You may know a person’s face but not their heart. I never imagined such a thing would happen."
Luo Chen waved his hand. "The tree that stands above the forest is the first to be felled. So use my Pill Refinent Technique, so covet my Physical body, and others have their eyes on my uncommon battle strength. I’ve grown used to it, truly used to it."
He took a step forward, standing between the sheer cliffs and precipitous crags. Facing the mountain wind, his robes snapped and fluttered.
"But after this battle, no one will ever again dare to disrespect !"
The woman gazed at that tall, upright figure that seed capable of propping up heaven and earth, her eyes filled with pure reverence.
...
In Shouyang Hall, once everyone had agreed to help Luo Chen, the Dao debate ca to an end.
To prevent any leaks, they all together swore an Oath of Dao.
Only after everything was over could they speak of the inside story to outsiders.
And before making a move against Zhongzhou, Luo Chen gave everyone two years.
During these two years, they were to return to their respective Sects and arrange all matters big and small, so that if anyone were to fall on the battlefield, their Sect would not be left leaderless and thrown into chaos.
In addition, Luo Chen made a promise that was neither large nor small.
Aside from Ti Hu Pills, if soone were to fall in this war and their Sect’s strength suffered greatly, he, Luo Chen, and Luo Tian Sect would shelter that Sect.
This promise covered the Thirteen Nascent Soul Upper Sects, and would last for one thousand years.
So long as Luo Chen still lived, so long as Luo Tian Sect still stood!
Only then did everyone truly relax, leaving Shouyang Mountain with high spirits and grand ambitions.
With their return, so relatively important information about the Dao debate began spreading across the Eastern Wasteland.
Under the strong impetus of the Alchemy Sect, the Human and Demon Clans finally signed a Ceasefire Treaty!
The Human and Demon War, which had lasted two hundred years with a hundred-year lull in the middle, slowly drew to a close. The East Desolate Immortal World was about to welco a thousand years of peace.
A thousand years is a long span of ti for any existence.
Even for a Nascent Soul True Master, their full Lifespan is only about a thousand years at most.
Thus, what things would be like after a thousand years, no one bothered to think about. People only knew that they no longer had to fear sudden attacks from hordes of Demon Beasts, and that they could finally live in peace.
