Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

The turmoil at Huangdao Mountain has gradually subsided.

None of the various forces made a move, and their attitudes became even more respectful.

The Prince of Zhenbei... now Emperor Wu.

He glanced down at the ground before turning and stepping into the secluded retreat atop Huangdao Mountain.

He still needs to stabilize the Imperial Sword, which carries the destiny of the North.

With the disappearance of Emperor Wu.

The crowd had not yet recovered from the shock they had just experienced.

The commander of the Demon Suppression Division arrived at the summit of Huangdao Mountain and gestured downwards.

"Here comes the knife!"

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the direction Long Quan was pointing.

The golden scales on Luo Chen's waist trembled slightly, transforming into a crimson stream of light that flew into the mountain peak.

The flames of the Phoenix Nirvana Furnace flickered, no longer as prosperous as before.

But that's precisely why the golden scales won't melt away in an instant.

With a wave of his hand, the golden scales disappeared into the Xuanfeng Nirvana Furnace, and the furnace lid that had been blown off closed steadily.

After doing all this.

Long Quan nodded in satisfaction, took a step forward, and came to stand in front of Luo Chen.

Although many northern forces had already guessed, they were still somewhat shocked when they actually saw it all.

"Gentlemen, Luo Chen of the Demon Suppression Division is exceptionally talented and of excellent character. I will take him as my disciple and will hold a disciple acceptance ceremony on a chosen day."

When the commander of the Demon Suppression Division heard these words from his own ears, no matter what the various factions thought, they were all deeply moved.

He smiled and offered his congratulations.

"Congratulations, General, on gaining your beloved disciple."

"Young friend Luo Chen, you are indeed a prodigy! Congratulations!"

"I, Duanmai Mountain, will definitely be there to celebrate the General's ceremony of accepting disciples."

Faced with numerous compliments, Luo Chen simply gave a standard smile.

He simply didn't recognize these influential people who came to offer their congratulations.

"Haha, we'll talk about everything after His Majesty the Martial Emperor ascends the throne."

Long Quan was overjoyed.

He led the leaders from all sides to a meeting.

Before leaving, Long Quan gave orders to the Demon Suppression Division, which guarded the four directions.

"His Majesty the Emperor is in seclusion here. You are to guard this place and must not make any mistakes."

"The Demon Suppression Division obeys!"

The once bustling square at the foot of the mountain fell into an eerie silence.

The members of the Demon Suppression Division were probably still reeling from the shock they had just witnessed.

It was Zhou Hui, that big, goofy guy, who was the first to come to Luo Chen's side and sincerely congratulate him.

"Congratulations, Brother Luo, on your flourishing martial arts!"

"I am deeply honored by Master's high regard, and I am filled with trepidation."

Luo Chen clasped his hands in a fist salute, his tone humble.

Despite everyone's smiling faces, Luo Chen remained calm.

Ninety percent of those smiles were directed at Long Quan.

Just as Luo Chen was struggling to cope...

Halfway up the mountain, three figures stood, one of whom extended an invitation to those below.

"Luo Chen, would you mind coming up for a chat?"

Wu Tianqiong smiled and called out softly.

Luo Chen looked up and glanced at the chaotic crowd around him, then decided to climb the mountain.

"Gentlemen, let's meet again another day. The Crown Prince has invited me, so I will head over first."

He clasped his hands in greeting to those around him and ascended the white jade steps.

People from various factions watched the young man's back as he climbed Huangdao Mountain step by step, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

From then on, one more person was added to the list of those that all forces should not provoke.

It can be described as a meteoric rise.

……

Halfway up the mountain.

Luo Chen arrived and clasped his hands in greeting to the three people in front of him.

"Greetings, everyone."

"Haha, no need for formalities, from now on we're brothers."

Wu Tianqiong said with a smile, looking very happy.

Leng Mengying, the goddess of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves of the North Sea, gazed with her cold eyes, her gaze filled with doubt.

But she managed to cover it up very well.

She parted her lips slightly, her voice clear and melodious.

"When I arrived, a cave master specifically instructed me to take care of a prodigy named Luo Chen if I encountered him."

Now it seems that Luo Tianjiao doesn't need it.

"Hmm? Luo Chen, you even know the cave master of the North Sea!"

Wu Tianqiong was puzzled; the cave masters of the thirty-six caves in the North Sea were at least at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

The top-ranked cave masters have even reached the Nirvana Realm.

As far as he knew, Luo Chen had never been to the Beihai region.

Luo Chen's mind raced, and a sudden inspiration struck him. He tentatively asked, "What's going on?"

"Is the goddess referring to Senior Li Changsheng?"

"Exactly."

Leng Mengying nodded slightly.

Luo Chen felt reassured and understood where the old tortoise had gone after recovering from its injuries.

It turns out he returned to the North Sea, joined the most powerful force in the North Sea, and even became a cave master.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense, since Beihai is the birthplace of the old turtle.

After offending a Dragon Palace deity at the peak of Nirvana, it's normal to seek protection from a powerful force.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the old tortoise was seriously injured by that person from the Dragon Palace; it's because of the difference in their cultivation levels.

After regaining his strength, the old tortoise remained a reborn great demon king.

With this level of strength, one would be at the top of any organization.

Moreover, the old tortoise was quite capable to escape with severe injuries from a ninth-level Nirvana cultivator in the Dragon Palace, despite only possessing the cultivation of a third-level Nirvana cultivator.

Having figured everything out, Luo Chen said with emotion.

"I parted ways with Senior Li two years ago, and the memory is still vivid in my mind today."

"When I set out from the North Sea in the future, all the cave masters will gather together, and you will meet again."

Leng Mengying smiled faintly, and her words became more intimate.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Wu Tianqiong realized something and understood.

"Everyone, let's not stand here."

"A delicious meal has been prepared in the main hall."

After saying that, he gestured for him to enter.

Luo Chen followed and stepped into the main hall where the geniuses gathered once again.

But this time only four people and some maids were present.

This can be considered a small circle.

Luo Chen was accepted as a disciple by Long Quan, which gave him the right to join this small circle.

at the banquet.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the exchange of toasts, the topics of conversation invariably revolved around secrets from various quarters.

Luo Chen listened attentively, and his mind would suddenly become clear, and the situation that he couldn't see clearly before suddenly became clear.

Looking back.

It turns out I wasn't standing high enough.

"Now it seems that the world is divided into three, but in the central part of the Nine Provinces, major families and clans, as well as blessed lands and grotto-heavens, are occupying their own territories. They are like a heap of loose sand, and it is difficult for them to achieve great things."

Wu Tianqiong downed a cup in one gulp and said with great gusto.

"In the past year, my Zhenbei Army has conquered the territory of a prefecture."

Listening to Wu Tianqiong's spirited words.

Everyone nodded in satisfaction.

Emperor Wu's momentum was strong, which was why they were able to give him their full support.

If Emperor Wu was at a disadvantage from the start...

There wouldn't be the current situation where everyone responds to a call to arms.

After the banquet.

Luo Chen politely declined the offer to live in the palace halfway up the mountain.

I walked alone down the mountain on the white jade steps.

A gentle evening breeze brought a touch of coolness.

Let's try to clear his slightly drunken eyes.

After today, he is completely bound to the war machine of the Prince of Zhenbei.

His name, Luo Chen, is no longer confined to the Northern Territory.

It probably won't be long before it comes into the view of various forces in Kyushu.

Crisis and opportunity coexist.

But there's nothing wrong with that.

Overall, the opportunities in front of us are greater.

Return to the Demon Suppression Division's camp.

Luo Chen returned to his tent to rest as usual.

At this time, although it was late at night, most of the Demon Suppression Captains did not rest and patrolled Huangdao Mountain day and night.

Zhuge Xing was one of them.

He stood at one of the outposts, watching Luo Chen's figure descend the mountain.

I don't know what I'm thinking.
