Chapter 388 Nascent Soul Stage, Danyang Zi!

Chapter 388: Chapter 388 Nascent Soul Stage, Danyang Zi!

"Boom!"

After Lu Chen fell into a coma, the Spiritual Fire rushed into his Dantian, rapidly entwining around his Dao Platform!

The Dao Platform was shaped like a long spear, resembling a towering pillar holding up the sky.

The Spiritual Fire swiftly coiled upwards and soon immersed itself within!

Even Lu Chen himself didn’t know that the Spiritual Fire and that strand of Earth Fire were engaged in a life-and-death struggle!

If the Spiritual Fire won, then Lu Chen could live.

But if the Earth Fire prevailed...

Lu Chen wouldn’t die, but his Dantian would be completely destroyed!

...

Meanwhile.

At the back mountain of the Casting Gear Pavilion, at the waist of a particularly inconspicuous peak.

Zhu Chongjiu knelt on the ground in front of an unremarkable cave dwelling.

He had been there for the time it took an incense stick to burn, yet he had not spoken a word.

With his Core Formation Stage realm, he could have transmitted his voice inside.

But with the master in seclusion, how could he dare to disturb?

He could only wait until the master awoke, when his Spiritual Sense swept over and discovered him, then he would speak.

At that moment.

Eight figures landed in succession behind him, they were Li Haorong and the others!

"Junior Brother Nine, you actually dare to disrupt the master’s seclusion, what audacity!"

A senior elder spoke in a hushed voice.

Zhu Chongjiu paid him no heed and continued kneeling, his forehead pressed against the cool stone slab.

"I’m talking to you, have you gone mute?"

Seeing Zhu Chongjiu as though deaf to his words, acting as if he didn’t exist, the elder couldn’t help but grow angry.

The others didn’t intervene either, because they all understood the elder’s intent; he was doing this on purpose.

If Zhu Chongjiu dared to talk back, they would have an excuse, claiming both were disturbing their master’s quiet cultivation.

But if Zhu Chongjiu remained silent...

They could strike first and accuse him, assigning him a crime!

In the face of this Senior Brother’s command, Zhu Chongjiu still lay quietly prostrate, having long since given up on any so-called fraternal affection among disciples.

No matter how much he was scolded, the master would decide in the end.

He believed the master was a man of clear sight.

If not...

Then he had been blind to have entered the wrong sect, to have chosen the wrong master!

The Casting Gear Pavilion was considered a rightful sect, and Master Danyang Zi might not have been famous, but he was also quite prestigious in the Cultivation World as a Nascent Soul who used artifact refining to prove his Dao!

This was a realm that ordinary third-rate sects could not possess.

It was for this reason that they could solely claim a vein of Earth Fire within this mountain range.

Of course, this was also related to their policy of non-engagement with the outside world.

Other sects not proficient in artifact refining, even if they possessed Earth Fire, would struggle to utilize its true power.

Moreover, it was likely to affect the interests of other sects, thus breaking the balance of the Cultivation World and naturally inviting discontent from other sects.

Under such circumstances, the Casting Gear Pavilion was able to establish itself here.

Without external threats, these disciples inevitably vied for things within the sect.

Not to mention resources, even hollow reputations were up for contest.

Because Zhu Chongjiu neither fought nor contended for these things, he naturally faced what had become almost an instinctive suppression from the other disciples.

Now that he was kneeling in front of the sect leader’s cave dwelling, they naturally became somewhat anxious.

Seeing Zhu Chongjiu still ignoring him, the elder’s remarks became increasingly excessive.

Until.

A voice filled with indignation suddenly resonated from within the cave dwelling.

"Silence, do you not know your teacher is in seclusion here?"

At that moment, the air outside the cave dwelling suddenly became solemn.

Zhu Chongjiu abruptly lifted his head, "Disciple seeks the master to dispel his doubts!"

Having said that, his head once again heavily slammed down.

"Thud!"

This knock, as if it hit the hearts of everyone present, resounded like muffled thunder!

Boom! The cave dwelling shook, the protective spells were lifted, and the stone doors flung open, releasing overwhelming Spiritual Power along with the appearance of an aged figure.

All present knelt down in unison.

"Greetings to the master!"

Danyang Zi let out a slight grunt, his gaze directly fixing on one individual, the disciple who had continuously maligned Zhu Chongjiu.

"Xu Taiping, you have been incessantly accusing Chongjiu in front of your teacher’s dwelling, what is your intention?"

Upon hearing these words, the assembly fell into utter silence, Xu Taiping could only nod and tremble, finding himself unable to utter a single word!

"Hmph!"

Danyang Zi looked around at everyone, his light snort was followed by a surge of immense pressure, pressing down the disciples so hard to the ground they could barely breathe!

Except for Zhu Chongjiu.

"Little Nine, has your teacher thus resolved your doubts?"
