Chapter 1956: Chapter 721: Molan Court, Peace Conference! Success Owed to the Purple Mansion, Failure Owed to the Purple Mansion?
Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators are already rare.
Anyone who achieves such a realm always holds sway in one area, overseeing a domain.
A Rogue Cultivator reaching the Nascent Soul Stage is even more scarce.
Even though the North Sea is renowned for its rich resources and powerful Rogue Cultivators emerge in endless streams, only the Three Great Independent Cultivators have reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
Actually, these Three Great Independent Cultivators also have traceable backgrounds.
Moon Independent Cultivator originally hailed from the Penglai Immortal Sect but later defected and became a major figure.
As for Blood Independent Cultivator, his exploits are well-known throughout the North Sea Cultivation World.
Feng Independent Cultivator is somewhat mysterious, but the name Fengling Hermit is at least a little known among the older generation of Nascent Soul True Masters.
In contrast, the origin of the Huang Independent Cultivator currently sitting opposite True Master Langya is quite intriguing.
Although he appears extremely young, the years of cultivation are evident; according to True Master Langya’s judgment, he is at most two to three hundred years old.
His powerful divine consciousness, barely entering Nascent Soul, was not inferior to his own, and perhaps slightly stronger.
Be aware that Mei Yiqi formed his Nascent Soul quite some time ago.
He’s paying close attention to the Blood Nightmare Mo Luo, an Elder of the Yuan Mo Sect.
Two to three hundred years old, with a powerful divine soul, rising inexplicably, showing interest in the Demon Sect, and now inquiring about Soul Essence, a material previously supplied exclusively to the strong of the Yuan Mo Sect...
True Master Langya narrowed his eyes slightly, "Could it be that the Independent is a survivor of the Yuan Mo Sect Soul Refining Lineage?"
Only the Soul Refining Lineage of the Demon Sect knows how to use such an extraordinarily unique material as Soul Essence!
Luo Chen maintained a calm expression and retorted, "If I am, so what? If I’m not, so what?"
True Master Langya paused and then shook his head.
"If you are, it doesn’t matter much; with the demon scourge rampant, human cultivators wish to unite, and there’s room for the remnants of the Demon Sect. And if you’re not, so much the better."
"Moreover, I am not connected to the Yuan Mo Sect, nor does the origin of the Huang Independent concern me. Consider today as a chance meeting, nothing more than sharing a cup of tea."
The implication is that even if Luo Chen were truly a remnant of the Demon Sect, Langya Mei Yiqi would not stir up trouble—at most, just a casual acquaintance.
Luo Chen listened quietly.
Suddenly, his brows twitched, and he laughed heartily.
"Friend, there are numerous heroes in the world; one doesn’t have to come from the Holy Land to be a genius. While I may not be a genius, I am also not one to hide. Take a good look, and see whether I am a disciple of the Demon Sect!"
As he spoke, Luo Chen no longer concealed his mana fluctuation entirely.
A majestic, grand, and intensely scorching mana fluctuation surged out!
Its force vigorous and mighty, its breath pulsating as if volcanic magma were erupting.
In True Master Langya’s eyes, the man quietly sitting opposite him appeared like a flickering flame, inciting unrest within.
Especially that pure mana; it did not seem like someone newly in the Nascent Soul Stage but rather someone whose realm had been stable for ages.
What he previously assumed to be turbulent and intense mana was not due to unstable cultivation but was a natural change brought about by the opponent’s Technique Attribute.
True Master Langya displayed surprise, taking a deep breath and saying, "Such a grand and dignified magical aura, though equally domineering, is entirely different from the dark and oppressive dominance of the Demon Sect. Born naturally domineering, it suppresses all things. From this, it seems my friend is indeed not a remnant of the Demon Sect."
Luo Chen smiled faintly, and his mana receded instantly.
With a casual flick of his robe, he said leisurely, "Now, my friend, can you tell me about the matters regarding Mo Luo Sect and Soul Essence?"
"I shall be sincere with you!"
...
True Master Langya and the Huang Independent’s conversation lasted an entire afternoon.
From probing each other’s backgrounds, discussing major events in the Immortal Cultivation World, to later, at Luo Chen’s initiative, exchanging cultivation insights at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Although the experience is incredibly valuable, both held back to some extent, yet some simple insights were still shared.
In this regard, Luo Chen gained considerably.
After all, having only recently formed his Nascent Soul, he possessed little cultivation experience.
However, he wasn’t entirely taking advantage, as he sincerely shared some experiences and insights into the Nascent Soul Condensation Stage.
True Master Langya wasn’t a loner; he had disciples and family, some of whom were Golden Core cultivators.
Though he himself formed his Nascent Soul, his personal experience was suitable for only a few people.
With Luo Chen’s contributions, teaching his disciples would become easier, and perhaps in the future, due to Luo Chen’s experiences and insights, another Nascent Soul True Master might emerge from Langya Mountain.
After Luo Chen left, a Golden Core cultivator from Langya Mountain entered the Langxuan Hall.
"Master, are you alright? I saw the arrays of the main hall fluctuating earlier and almost thought you were fighting."
True Master Langya waved his hand, "No worries, just exchanging cultivation insights and occasionally testing techniques."
The disciple suddenly understood and curiously asked, "I saw their chariot following behind us; are they also going to Molan Court?"
"Yes, this Peace Conference is a rare event for us High Order Cultivators, unprecedented in two hundred years. As a Rogue Cultivator, Huang Independent lacks peers to exchange with and resources to trade. He certainly does not want to miss it."
At this point, True Master Langya’s tone became somewhat hesitant.
Stroking his beard, he was still unsure.
Even if not a disciple of the Demon Sect, such a grand demeanor and the magnificent and domineering mana, could a Rogue Cultivator truly cultivate such?
Especially since the Huang Independent is so young!
...
Aboard the Liuyu Feiyun Chariot.
Luo Chen was digesting the information he had just obtained.
Regarding Nascent Soul Stage cultivation insights, after comparing notes with Han Zhan’s earlier teachings, he confirmed that True Master Langya hadn’t deceived him.
However, one point was surprising to Luo Chen.
That was the relationship between the Purple Mansion and the Nascent Soul, as well as realm breakthroughs.
