On Danxia Peak.
Because of Luo Chen's return, the atmosphere that had been a bit impetuous before almost calmed down in a short period of time.
The sea-fixing needle is nothing better than this.
However, many monks were coming in and out of the Dou Zhan Hall today.
The urgent and eager look made people who were familiar with the monks of Douzhan Hall become curious.
"What happened?"
"It's rare to see so many Luowang monks appear in one go?"
Face these curious questions.
The Luowang monk who was responsible for intelligence collection and processing glared at him with a falcon-like gaze.
"You shouldn't ask, don't ask!"
After saying that, he held a large pile of files and entered the Dou Zhan Hall.
…
"Here is the latest information in the year and a half since you left."
"This pile is the general information on Tianlan Immortal City collected within five years after Luowang was established."
"The last bunch of files that have just been delivered were collected by Su Xiaolin from many channels at a great expense after your instructions. They have been sorted out in a hurry. Although they are still a little messy and incomplete, as long as they follow the instructions of the sect, Everything related to the war is basically here."
In the Dou Zhan Hall, Sima Huiniang placed the bamboo slips into categories in front of Luo Chen.
The master of the Dou Zhan Hall, Sima Xian, and his subordinate, Luo Wang Elder Su Xiaolin, were on both sides, ready for command at any time.
Looking at the dense files, Luo Chen took a deep breath.
Not dissatisfied with the trouble, Luo Chen unfolded a roll of bamboo slips and read it carefully.
"In October of the 3408th year of the Mountain and Sea Calendar, Han Zhan, the supreme elder of the Luoyun Sect, broke through the Nascent Soul stage and advocated the recovery of three large-scale cities and seven small cities within the sphere of influence that were remotely controlled by the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect. The methods were rough, causing Jian Zong to protest, and finally ended with the Jian Zong monks withdrawing from the Luoyun Sect's sphere of influence."
"This incident has also been identified as the trigger for the Shangzong War."
Luo Chen paused and calculated according to the timeline.
At this time, he was probably at the ninth level of Qi refining. At this time, Pang Renxiong had just died and Dahe City had become a ghost town.
"In November of the same year, a foundation-building true disciple of the Luoyun Sect was suspected to have died at the hands of the Jian Zong true inheritor. At the same time, the Jian Zong suspected that the mysterious death of Master Jindan, a disciple of the Luoyun Sect, was related to the Luoyun Sect. The conflict between the two sides intensified, and the heads of the two sects came forward. Negotiations failed."
"The Luoyun Sect proposed to take back a third-level mineral vein, but the Sword Sect refused. I don't know which side made the move first. Near the third-level mineral vein, a small-scale battle occurred within the scope of the foundation-building realm."
"Although this battle started and ended quickly, it was recorded as the beginning of the civil war in the Yuding Sect."
"The real outbreak originated from Ailao Mountain's refusal to repair the fairy city for the Sword Sect, and the core disciples were killed by the true disciples of the Sword Sect. The master of the core true disciple, in a rage, destroyed the center of the fairy city, causing a large-scale attack by nearby monsters. attack."
"The Sword Sect was dissatisfied and sent three hundred sword cultivators to hold Ailao Mountain accountable. Ailao Mountain asked the Luoyun Sect for help, and the first real war broke out between the two sides outside the gate of Ailao Mountain."
Luo Chen estimated the time.
After the war broke out, Tian Xingzi from Zhenlong Black Market in Dahefang left in a hurry.
That is in the spring of March of the next year.
He joined forces with Nangong Jin and led his troops to Xiaohuan Mountain to destroy the Duan family.
After that, they successfully built the foundation with difficulty and even left Dahefang.
And in this process, the conflicts between the two major Nascent Soul Sects in the Jade Cauldron Territory became more and more profound, and the friction became more and more intense!
Wars, large and small, are constantly breaking out with the two factions of foundation-building true disciples as the core.
The battlefield is also constantly expanding.
Within the Sword Sect, there are many masters, and even Master Jindan led hundreds of sword cultivators, intending to break into the Luoyun Sect's hinterland, but they were blocked by the strong men of the Luoyun Sect.
Everyone in the world thinks that the Luoyun Sect has a shallow foundation and cannot stop the thunderous power of the Sword Sect.
But no one expected that the Luoyun Sect's Puppetry Technique, known as the Qiyun Technique, would explode with great power in the early stages of the battle.
In terms of combat power, he is not inferior to the Jade Cauldron Sword Cultivator.
There were even instances where a sword cultivator of the same level killed five puppets of Yun Sect disciples in a row, only to be blasted into blood foam by the opponent in the end.
certainly!
Overall, the Jian Sect is still much stronger than the Luo Yun Sect.
Luoyun Sect united with Ailao Mountain to block the initial waves of offensives, but felt that it was difficult to support them alone.
At this time, the Qingdan Valley monks joined the battlefield, and they were helping the Luoyun Sect.
Not to be outdone, Jian Zong sent many first-rate vassal forces under his command to participate in the war.
Not only that, even the Flame Alliance joined them.
By this time, the battle between the two sides had already involved five major sects and more than a dozen first- and second-rate forces.
It seems that both parties also know that it is not good for such unrestricted spread.
Therefore, the scope of the battlefield was gradually reduced, mainly focusing on the three major battlefields of Lingkong Secret Realm, Blackwater Swamp, and Jileijiu Mountain.
Although there are three battlefields, they are obviously prioritized.
The center of the battle is in the secret realm of the sky.
It was a rumored ancient ruins, but it was later developed by the Jianzong and occupied it alone for hundreds of years.
There are even rumors.
The reason why the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect has surpassed the wealthy Qingdan Valley in number of Jindan monks and foundation-building monks in just a few hundred years is because it has gained a lot of benefits from the Lingkong ruins.
The Luoyun Sect sent golden elixir masters to try to seize this relic and share it with Ailao Mountain and Qingdan Valley.
The Sword Sect naturally refused and sent a powerful sword cultivator to fight with him.
And the other two battlefields.
The Blackwater Swamp is rich in many resources, among which the Black Devil Swamp Mud is the most scarce item in Ailao Mountain, and has to be purchased from the Sword Sect at high prices all year round.
Therefore, the main battlefield of the Ailao Mountain monks is here, and they join forces with the Luoyun Sect monks to try to occupy this place.
As for Ji Lei Jiu Shan, it is even more complicated.
There is a super-large fourth-level thunder mine vein here. Due to years of erosion, it has even created the wonder of thousands of miles of quicksand wasteland.
Everyone wants it, but no one can eat it.
The two parties sent a large number of low-level disciples to compete for dominance in a battle for every inch of territory.
And this battlefield is also the place with the largest number of people and the most complex composition of forces.
Shangzong, Dazong, first- and second-rate forces, and even many casual cultivators are all involved.
Ten years ago, Lingkong Secret Realm suddenly closed!
Declare the end of a battlefield.
This also resulted in the disappearance of the battlefield where the two high-level monks of the Shangzong directly fought.
They have restrained themselves slightly and no longer take matters into their own hands.
Instead, he led his forces and allies in a protracted war in Blackwater Swamp and Jilei Nine Mountains.
"So, is this why in the past few years, everyone feels that the intensity of the Nascent Soul Sect war has become less intense and has eased?"
Luo Chen murmured.
With his powerful spirit and intelligent mind.
In just half a day, the files on this so-called "Jade Cauldron Civil War" were compiled and read.
There are many doubtful points, and there are also many places worth pondering.
But these are not the main point.
At least, it has little to do with Luo Chen.
He rubbed his brows slightly and took over the information of recent years from Su Xiaolin.
Compared with the previous summary dossier, it must be more detailed.
Like the Blackwater Swamp, Ailao Mountain seemed to be powerful, but it suffered heavy losses under the vassal coalition led by the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect.
There were even two golden elixir monks, one dead and the other injured.
On the Jilei Jiushan side, the conflict between Qingdan Valley and Yanmeng has become increasingly serious.
Many true disciples in the foundation-building stage have unleashed true fire, and there are no longer a few fallen cultivators.
There are also many small first-rate and second-rate forces mixed in among them, and they dispersed under the pressure of the general trend.
For example, the descendants of Guishen Valley that Luo Chen was familiar with died in battles one after another because of their family's foundation.
In the end, a group of casual cultivators took advantage of the situation and robbed all the clan land.
There are many examples like this!
"My side of Tianlan Immortal City is in turmoil, and it's hard to survive."
"I didn't expect that in this world of immortality, there would be more fierce battles happening all the time."
"That's probably why the major Jindan sects have restrained themselves and want to control the losses of their subordinates. Even here in Qingdan Valley, they recalled many disciples from the battlefield on the pretext of re-establishing Taoist disciples and starting a battle between Taoists."
From the evolution of the general situation, Luo Chen discovered many details.
It was even deduced that some sects were no longer willing to continue fighting in this quagmire of war.
Finally, Luo Chen looked at the intelligence collected by Luo Wang in the year and a half since he left Tianlan.
"In the 3425th year of the Mountain and Sea Era, Han Zhan, the Grand Supreme Prince of the Luoyun Sect, and Yuding, the Grand Supreme Prince of the Sword Sect, met publicly for the first time on the banks of the Qinhua River, and the two parties broke up unhappy!"
Seeing this, Luo Chen's expression changed slightly.
He finally knew what big things had happened outside in the year and a half since he left.
On the banks of the Qinhua River, two parties were negotiating.
Meeting in real life ended on bad terms.
Everyone knows what this means.
Of course, the Qinhua River here is definitely not the riverside in Tianlan Fairy City.
The Qinhua River runs through the entire Jade Cauldron Territory and is an out-and-out big river, second only to the Lancang River in size.
The specific negotiation address was not specified.
The specific content of the negotiations is also unknown.
But just an "unhappy separation" means that this civil war in Jade Cauldron will continue!
It is even said that the accumulated conflicts will completely explode and the intensity of the war will increase.
a year ago!
Isn't this when the battle between Taoism and Taoism begins?
Luo Chen recalled the many golden elixir masters he saw in the Heavenly Palace.
He remembered very clearly that Tao Yisheng said that those who came to watch the ceremony were Jindan monks from the four major sects: Luoyun Sect, Baihua Palace, Ice Castle, and Ailao Mountain.
However, he clearly had not seen the Luoyun Sect Golden Pill in the Heavenly Palace.
"He came but didn't show up, or he came and left immediately."
"What does it mean?"
"notify!"
"Yes, I'm here to inform you of the results. I'm just going through the motions."
"In other words, after the Daozong war ended, the war machine on the Luo Yun Sect's side was completely in motion. Qingdan Valley and Ailao Mountain still agreed to take action, and even Ice Castle no longer hesitated and completely fell to the Luo Yun Sect. , prepare to join the war!"
After figuring it all out.
It's late at night.
Luo Chen leaned on the back of the chair, feeling tired.
He said without raising his eyelids: "You go down first, Hui Niang stays."
Sima Xian and Su Xiaolin, who had been standing for a day, looked at each other and then respectfully left.
Looking at the tired Luo Chen, Sima Huiniang stood up and stood behind him, rubbing the acupuncture points on both sides of him.
"I've never seen you take this seriously before. Why are you so concerned about the Shangzong battle today?"
"We have to pay attention!" Luo Chen closed his eyes and said seriously: "Because soon, we will be involved."
"What did you say?"
Sima Huiniang's movements slowed down, as if she didn't hear clearly.
Luo Chen sighed, "Ice Castle Heartless Fairy asked me, Luo Tianhui, to refine Qi above the seventh level and all members to participate in the battle. Only one foundation-building true cultivator can be left to guard Danxia."
This statement comes out.
The fingers on both sides of Luo Chen's face suddenly froze.
Sima Huiniang's expression was trembling as she sat opposite Luo Chen.
"Really?"
"How could I joke with you about something like this?"
Sima Huiniang said in a bitter voice: "How could it be like this..."
yes!
How could this be?
But if you think about it carefully, everything is a sign.
If Luo Tianhui was still like the original, with only one or two foundation-building monks, Ice Castle would naturally look down upon them.
But when the foundation-building true cultivators mushroomed like mushrooms after a rain, they emerged one after another.
Ice Castle has already taken this into consideration.
Foundation Building Ceremony!
No!
Perhaps when Luo Tianhui was attacking everywhere, destroying the Danyuan Sect and the Shengong Sect to demonstrate his own strength, the other party had already set his sights on Luo Tianhui.
He even added fuel to the fire by giving Sima Huiniang a Foundation Establishment Pill that was completely useless during the Foundation Establishment Ceremony.
Doesn’t it mean that the more Luo Tianhui’s foundation-building cultivators, the better?
At this moment, Sima Huiniang must have realized what would happen if Luo Tianhui participated in a war of this level.
She expressed the shock she had never experienced in many years.
And, panic.
But when her eyes fell on Luo Chen, for some reason, she felt peaceful in her heart.
The woman smoothed her hair and said with consciousness:
"The situation is not controlled by anyone. We have enjoyed the great convenience brought by being a vassal of Ice Castle for so many years."
"Now, it is completely normal for the other party to ask us to contribute."
Luo Chen wanted to say that he got the Ice Castle vassalage in exchange for the Jade Dew Pill.
But when the words came to his lips, he paused.
The Jueqing lineage did not buy the Jade Dew Pill for free, they also paid a lot of spiritual stones.
If one code is equal to one code, it is calculated.
Even regardless of the threat posed by Master Jindan, it was only natural that Luo Tian would fight for the ice castle.
There is no good thing in the world that only takes benefits without paying the price!
But it's still a bit hard to accept that this kind of thing happens to me.
Sima Huiniang took a deep breath and said quickly and clearly:
"If we really want to join the war, then many of Luo Tianhui's current decisions will have to be reconsidered."
"Branches everywhere are prohibited from shrinking."
"Stop cooperating with agents who build foundations for the time being, otherwise it will lead to a situation where you can't lose your strength."
"For business with other forces, we must discuss new ways of cooperation as soon as possible."
"The plans for the Bai family of Liuguangfang will also be cancelled!"
"besides……"
Luo Chen's wandering eyes fell on the beautiful woman.
The other party seemed to have accepted this fact.
And it was very quickly substituted into the future situation.
Everything you think about and do is based on the future.
Such adaptability is ridiculously strong!
"Since Ice Castle said that I, Luo Tianhui, can keep a foundation-building cultivator, Guild Master, just stay!"
"Over there on the battlefield, I will be responsible for the control and bring as many people back alive as possible!"
At the end of her speech, Sima Huiniang's tone was a little low.
But there was no fear in the sonorous voice.
Luo Chen smiled.
Under Huiniang's stunned gaze, she reached out and pinched her straight nose.
"Fool!"
"It's okay to let you show up in public and be in charge of Luo Tianhui. How can I let you go when such a fatal thing happens?"
Sima Huiniang was not used to it.
Such little pampering gestures are not usually seen.
But she still felt warm in her heart.
However, considering the unknown situation she would face on the battlefield, she was still extremely worried.
"But……"
"Nothing but." Luo Chen shook his head, "Fairy Wuqing said that only one person should be left, and I was not included. Anyway, I am also a well-known alchemy master in the Jade Cauldron Domain. How can such a technical talent be let go?" Go to the battlefield and consume..."
Talking and talking.
Luo Chen's voice became deeper.
Alchemy Master...Consumption...
Faintly, an idea emerged in my mind.
