The End of Ten Years
purple cloud sect
When Luo Changxi arrived at the mountain gate, the elders of the family had already been waiting there for a long time. From their excited and happy expressions, it could be seen that they were all waiting for an extremely important guest.
At the very least, it was extremely important to the Luo clan.
Luo Tingchuan, the clan's Foundation Establishment Ancestor who had guarded the Black Dragon Pool's sealing array for ten years, was finally about to return.
Strictly speaking, the Luo clan could not be considered a cultivation clan because the clan did not have any territory. They only had spirit veins as their foundation. Even though the clan had a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator like Luo Tingchuan, they could only be considered a clan of itinerant cultivators.
The Luo clan had been wandering in the Purple Cloud Sect for hundreds of years. It was only when Luo Tingchuan was accepted as a disciple by the Purple Cloud Sect due to his extraordinary talent when he was young and miraculously advanced to the Foundation Establishment realm and became an elder that the clan's life gradually improved.
However, without a spirit vein's territory, there was no way to advance from a itinerant cultivator family to a cultivation family clan. This was undoubtedly a chasm for a Humble family clan like the Luo clan that had been around for hundreds of years.
After all, in the world of cultivation, spirit meridians were either controlled by a powerful sect or occupied by a powerful demon. Even if Luo Tingchuan was in the Foundation Establishment realm, he could not kill a demon and open up a spirit meridian by himself.
If one wanted to obtain a reward from the sect, one had to make a great contribution. The difficulty of such a great contribution was no less than killing a great demon.
Therefore, all these years, not having a family to return to had been the most vexing thing for the Luo family.
Furthermore, the Purple Cloud Sect, which the family was attached to, was no longer in its heyday. In fact, it was declining day by day. Even if Luo Tingchuan wanted to make contributions, he could not do it alone.
Ten years ago, when Luo Tingchuan was already in his twilight years, such an opportunity actually came.
At that time, the Black Dragon Pool was wreaking havoc. Although it was repelled and sealed by the Golden Cores in the sect, it still required a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator to enter the Black Dragon Pool that was filled with poisonous gas to maintain the seal.
However, the Black Dragon Pool's poisonous gas was something that even Foundation Establishment cultivators could not stay in for long. Otherwise, the poisonous gas would damage the foundation. At the very least, it would reduce one's lifespan. At the very worst, it would destroy one's Dao and kill them. Thus, at that time, not a single Foundation Establishment cultivator in the entire sect was willing to go.
At that critical moment, Luo Tingchuan stood up for the family and made a ten-year agreement with the sect. They agreed that after the ten-year agreement, the sect would reward the Luo family with a grade-1 spirit vein called Yulin.
He had risked his life to spread the last light and warmth for the family in his twilight years. It was not only because of his love for the family, but also because he saw hope. The family had produced another good seedling whose talent was comparable to his back then. He had to pave the way for him in advance.
It had to be known that he had suffered from the lack of support from his family and spirit vein in his life, resulting in it being difficult to make progress in his cultivation after entering the Foundation Establishment realm.
On the contrary, those Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had families and spirit veins behind them not only fell far behind him in terms of cultivation, but they were also elders, but he was always inferior to them.
The problems of poor birth and no background had to be completely solved in his generation so that the descendants of the Luo family could stand tall.
And this good seedling that Luo Tingchuan and the entire family had high hopes for was Luo Changxi.
Luo Changxi was 19 years old at the time and was already at Mortal Realm Level 8. Due to his outstanding talent, he became the second member of the Luo family to be accepted by the Purple Cloud Sect after Luo Tingchuan.
At this moment, he was standing behind the elders of the family with a gentle and respectful expression. He was dressed in the sect's Daoist robe, showing his tall and straight figure. Although his face was still young, he had a calm and composed temperament.
He had grown up by Luo Tingchuan's side. He had been influenced by him, and he also knew the great expectations of his ancestors and family. With such a heavy burden on his shoulders, who wouldn't be mature at a young age?
Just as the elders of the clan were talking about the promising future of the clan after the return of the ancestor, a stream of light crashed over from the distant horizon and quickly landed in front of everyone.
Everyone knew that the patriarch had arrived, so they immediately bowed in joy and said,"Welcome back, patriarch…"
The light dissipated, and an old man in a Daoist robe appeared in front of him. He had an old face and a dispirited expression, but he had a kind face.
"Ancestor…"
Everyone was shocked when they saw this. One had to know that Luo Tingchuan was still a graceful middle-aged man when he went to the Black Dragon Pool ten years ago.
How could there be such a huge change in just ten years?
"Did I scare you?"
Luo Tingchuan shook his head and smiled." I've been living in the open all these years. I've indeed aged a little fast."
Even though he said it casually, everyone still understood how difficult it was. They could not help but sob.
"There's no need for that!"
Luo Tingchuan immediately waved his hand and looked at Luo Changxi.
" Greetings, Patriarch!" Luo Changxi sincerely respected this elder. He bowed respectfully again." Greetings, Patriarch!"
"I haven't seen you for ten years and you're already at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage?"
Luo Tingchuan looked pleased." As expected of the Saint Child of our Luo Family. He's even more outstanding than I was back then. He's really hardworking."
"Changxi is guilty!"
Luo Changxi quickly shook his head.
"Cough cough cough…"
Luo Tingchuan suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently for a while. Then, he looked around weakly and asked curiously," The sect…didn't send anyone here?"
This was completely different from the lively scene when he first arrived at the Black Dragon Pool Town and the Perfected One led a group of Elders to send him off.
After all, even though the Luo Clan had a favor to ask of the sect, Luo Tingchuan was willing to step forward to save the sect from danger. He was a person who had made great contributions.
"This…"
Everyone could not help but look at each other when they heard this.
All these years, ever since Luo Tingchuan left the sect to guard the Black Dragon Pool, Luo Changxi was the only one left in the Luo Clan. However, he was only a disciple. In addition, he had been cultivating in seclusion all year round. Today, he had come out of seclusion to welcome Luo Tingchuan.
Now that Luo Tingchuan mentioned it, everyone felt that the scene before them was indeed a little…bleak.
After all, it was for the sake of the sect's stability that a meritorious minister who had sacrificed his lifespan to guard a dangerous place had returned. The sect should not have done this…
A cold wind blew past.
" Alright," Luo Tingchuan broke the silence." Come back to the sect."
He didn't have much time left and didn't have the heart to care about these things. He only wanted to get the spirit vein that the sect had promised in advance and find a place for the family to live in peace.
This way, his ten years of suffering would not be in vain.
Soon, the Luo clan group arrived at a quiet hall in the Purple Cloud Sect. This was where Perfected Northern Cloud, the only Golden Core in the sect, received guests.
Luo Tingchuan asked everyone to wait outside and only brought Luo Changxi inside. He did not have much time left. He had to let the future of his family show itself in front of the real person so that he would have a chance to be guided in the future.
Tingchuan, you're finally back."
As soon as Luo Tingchuan and the other man entered the hall, they saw an old man in a Taoist robe standing in the middle of the hall. He looked like a lion that stood proudly in the forest.
"Ting Chuan pays his respects to the Immortal!"
Luo Tingchuan quickly bowed.
"No need to be so polite. It's been hard on you for the past ten years."
Perfected Northern Cloud smiled and raised his hand." It's been so eventful recently. I couldn't get away and couldn't come to the mountain gate to welcome you. I hope you don't mind!"
"Tingchuan wouldn't dare!"
Luo Tingchuan hurriedly replied," It is a great honor for me and my clan to serve the sect. You have worked hard for the sect day and night. How could I not know that? I only hope that you will take care of your golden body."
"Alright, I knew you would know the big picture, Tingchuan!"
Perfected Northern Cloud smiled." You must be tired after coming all the way from the Black Dragon Pool. Go back and rest first. I'll gather the entire sect to welcome you later."
Luo Tingchuan saw that the other party was still unwilling to mention the agreement from back then, so he could only take the initiative to say," Tingchuan is duty-bound to serve the sect. How can we alarm the entire sect? Our Luo family has been wandering around for hundreds of years, only hoping to find a place to settle down. If the sect can reward us with the land of Yulin, Tingchuan can already die without regrets. There's nothing else we want."
Perfected Northern Cloud's expression did not change. He smiled and said," The sect has its own rules. Merits are rewarded. You just came back, so you should rest for a while. The Hengyun Mountain is to the east of Yulin. It's filled with miasma and demon beasts. You can't rush to open up this place."
Luo Tingchuan and Luo Changxi were dumbfounded.
It was clearly [Yulin], how did it suddenly become [Heng Yun Mountain]?
However, Luo Tingchuan quickly came to his senses.
It turned out that Yulin had a broad and narrow sense.
At the beginning,[Yulin] referred to an area formed by a grade-2 and several grade-1 spiritual veins.
However, due to the gradual decline of the Purple Cloud Sect, most of the Yulin was occupied by a big demon and became what people called a wild land. For hundreds of years, the sect had been unable to take it back, including the level one Hengyun Mountain.
Now, the only place that was still under the control of the Purple Cloud Sect was a level one spiritual vein on the periphery of the forest. This was the narrow sense of the forest.
However, what Luo Tingchuan and Perfected Northern Cloud had sought back then was the narrow meaning of Yulin, not Heng Yun Mountain, which was still occupied by the great demon.
If the Luo Clan had the ability to kill a great demon, why would he, Luo Tingchuan, have to go to the Black Dragon Pool and suffer for ten years?
Thinking of this, Luo Tingchuan looked at the calm Perfected Northern Cloud in front of him. How could he not understand that the other party was going back on his word? He felt despair in his heart.
He opened his mouth and wanted to argue, but after mumbling for a long time, he couldn't say anything. In the end, his eyes went black and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He actually fell straight to the ground.
"Ancestor!"
Luo Changxi was also shocked when he saw this. He quickly went forward to help her.
At this moment, a string of words suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Ro Family: No place to stand, like a candle in the wind.]
[Six inheritances have been unlocked!]
