Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

After March.

Today is Luo Chen's 47th birthday.

He chose to end his seclusion and step out of the mountain gate.

That evening, I returned to the Liu family residence in the capital with my younger sister, and the whole family enjoyed a happy time together.

Looking at the two elderly people whose vitality was gradually declining.

Luo Chen wanted to extend Liu Xingsheng's lifespan, but Liu Xingsheng refused.

"Chen'er, we appreciate your kindness."

"We, the two of us, have certainly had a glorious second half of our lives."

"Your aunt is a mortal and cannot take the elixir of longevity, and my realm has not yet reached the divine realm."

"I just hope that after we pass away, you two siblings will be doing well."

A hint of relief crossed Liu Xingsheng's aged face.

He exchanged a glance with his wife, Wang, a happy smile mixed with a hint of regret.

The elderly couple had enjoyed wealth and honor for half their lives, but their only regret was never having a grandson.

When Luo Chen was young, Wang would always look for a young lady for him every time they met.

Later, as Luo Chen's status became more and more prestigious, Wang Shi's feelings for him faded.

I don't want to affect Luo Chen.

Liu Yuanyao stood to the side, her eyes seemingly filled with tears.

Luo Chen patted his little sister on the back.

"Alright, today is Chen'er's birthday, stop crying."

"You brat, I'm not dead yet!"

"Wait until I die before you cry."

Looking at his daughter, Liu Xingsheng couldn't help but chuckle and curse.

Spend a day at the Liu residence.

Luo Chen and his younger sister had just returned to the Demon Suppression Division.

"Brother, with the recent establishment of the Ten Thousand Demon Dynasty, the atmosphere in this territory is somewhat tense. The Demon Suppression Division may need to allocate half of its manpower to support the border."

"A major war could break out at any time."

Liu Yuanyao returned to the Demon Suppression Division and transformed back into the decisive and efficient elder she once was.

She explained to Luo Chen.

As the Great Wu Dynasty began conscripting warriors to enter the border region.

This will definitely affect the operation of the Demon-Suppressing Prisons for all parties.

Knowing the importance of the Demon Suppression Prison in her elder brother's heart, Liu Yuanyao chose to tell him.

Otherwise, Luo Chen wouldn't have bothered with the mobilization of the Demon Suppression Division's personnel at all.

"I understand. You can discuss these matters with your master."

Luo Chen nodded in agreement and patted his little sister on the shoulder.

"If you feel tired, you can leave the Demon Suppression Division and focus on your cultivation."

"It's alright, I also want to do something, big brother." Liu Yuanyao smiled slightly.

Luo Chen returned to the ancient Panshan Mountain.

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the world, a faint unease creeping into his heart.

He didn't think it was an illusion; the sage's perception was still very sharp, and perhaps this sudden impulse was a warning of something.

Another month has passed.

Since returning to Taigu Panshan, Luo Chen has been checking the cause and effect warnings every day.

But nothing changed.

This unease wasn't directed at him!

Luo Chen gazed at the sky, his heart heavy.

"Perhaps it's a crisis that will affect the whole world."

He was puzzled.

On this day, the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion made a rare visit to Taigu Panshan.

"Does the Pavilion Master have some important business to discuss today?"

Luo Chen was curious that this cultivator who cultivated the Great Dao of Heavenly Mystery and Cause and Effect had refined himself into a Dao Weapon Spirit.

He couldn't see anything at the time.

From his current perspective, it was absolutely a brilliant idea.

Deducing the secrets of heaven and the causes and effects will inevitably lead to divine retribution, and revealing heavenly secrets is the most taboo thing to do.

Unlike Luo Chen, who directly consumes his lifespan to avoid the cost of deducing heavenly secrets.

Other cultivators either died young or paid various prices to meet a tragic end.

He once thought that the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion had escaped into the Daoist army by chance to save his life after the fall of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Now it seems that's not necessarily the case.

This clearly shows that the Pavilion Master voluntarily abandoned the shackles of his physical body and refined himself into a Dao Soldier.

You wouldn't believe this old man is such a ruthless person.

The Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion spoke with a solemn tone, and without any preamble, went straight to the point.

"In recent days, the celestial secrets of the Dao Domain have become increasingly chaotic, and another calamity aura is gathering!"

The pavilion master said something simple.

He believed that with Luo Chen's current level of cultivation, he should have noticed it earlier than he had.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Indeed, unlike the Dao Domain War of the past, this is another kind of calamity brewing."

Luo Chen nodded in acknowledgment. Although he did not specialize in the study of Heavenly Mysteries and Causes and Effects, given his current level of cultivation, he could still perceive the difference to some extent.

The Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion felt utterly powerless, a feeling confirmed by Luo Chen.

I chatted with him for a while before finally leaving.

He wanted to inform Wu Tiancheng that the Great Wu Dynasty needed to make preparations as soon as possible.

Recently, within the imperial territory, demons have become even more ferocious and bloodthirsty.

The demons and monsters that usually hide in the deep mountains and forests have begun to actively attack the city.

It caused countless civilian casualties.

Some martial artists who were in seclusion during their cultivation also felt restless and unable to calm their minds and break through.

In just one month, hundreds of martial artists in the Great Wu Dynasty alone went mad from their seclusion.

The entire territory was subtly in turmoil.

What's even more troubling is that no one knows why.

……

This day.

Luo Chen was observing the turmoil within the territory when a phantom image of a Purple Mansion Saint suddenly appeared before him.

He withdrew his divine sense, looked at the other party, and asked with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Zifu, what brings you here as a guest today?"

Looking at the illusory figure that appeared in front of him.

Luo Chen had a vague guess in his heart that the other party probably didn't come to catch up with him.

It is probably related to the calamity energy that has recently appeared in the world.

as predicted.

The Purple Mansion Sage spoke solemnly without uttering any unnecessary words.

"Presumably, the Lord of the Samsara Palace has also observed the newly emerging calamity energy in Zhenxuan Heaven."

"It's not just our Zhenxuan Heaven, the entire Nine Heavens Dao Domain is shrouded in calamity energy."

"There's one more thing!"

In conclusion.

Even the Purple Mansion Saint, who had attained enlightenment for many years, felt a chill run down his spine.

"The ancient corpse sealed in the void by the saints of the Nine Heavens has vanished!"

Luo Chen's brows furrowed as he looked at the Purple Mansion Saint.

The ancient corpse has disappeared?

There are only two possibilities: it was stolen by one of the Nine Heavens Saints.

However, this possibility is unlikely.

The sealing of the ancient corpse was a power exerted by all the saints. How could the ancient corpse be stolen silently without everyone's consent?

With such strength, there's no need to hide it; he overpowered all the saints and took away the ancient corpse back then.

The second possibility is...

The ancient corpse has come back to life!

Even if the second possibility is even more absurd.

Luo Chen still believes the second possibility is more likely.

Although he had never seen the ancient corpse in person, he had sensed the immense life force contained within it.

The ancient corpse had lost its spiritual energy, but its physical body was still "alive".

The Sage of the Purple Mansion also thought of this.

A sense of fear inevitably arose in his heart.

He was the one who brought the ancient corpse back to the Nine Heavens Dao Domain.

He even spent several years alone with the ancient corpse in the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

To comprehend the Taoist principles and cultivation path embodied in the ancient corpse.

If the ancient corpse was actually alive.

The Purple Mansion Saint felt a little uneasy and came to Luo Chen specifically to inform him.

After all, what if a great enemy were to arrive?

Luo Chen, who is also a Saint of Zhenxuan Heaven, is a natural and close ally of the Purple Mansion Saint.

And this ally is exceptionally powerful.
