Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 454 - 454 431

454: 431 454: 431 Lu Chuan stared at the five people, his gaze finally resting on Gao Tong, as he asked, “What are you up to?”

Gao Tong smiled and said, “Lu Chuan, all members of the Divine Alliance have come to ask for your help.”

Lu Chuan’s eyebrows shot up; this guy had always called him Highest Immortal, but now he was directly addressing him by name, which made Lu Chuan feel that the visitor bore ill intentions.

He sized up the other four and realized that they too were Nascent Soul experts whose physical bodies had been destroyed.

Together with Gao Tong’s statement that they were all members of the Divine Alliance, he deduced that these four were also probably “divine spirits” surviving by absorbing the Power of Incense Offering.

He thought for a moment and then asked, “What help do you need?”

The only old man among the five stepped forward and said with a smile, “We won’t beat around the bush with you.

We’ve come to ask you to assist us in concocting a type of elixir pill.”

“First, allow me to introduce myself; people call me Medicine God, and I specialize in alchemy.

Recently, I’ve successfully restored an ancient alchemical recipe.

The elixir recorded in this recipe can reconstruct a physical body.

You are a Cultivator and have had contact with the Mountain God, so you should know that we are individuals in the Nascent Soul Realm whose physical bodies were destroyed.

Therefore, this elixir is extremely important to us, and you, you’re the key to crafting this elixir!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan’s eyes immediately lit up.

He had been worrying about how to help Xiu Niang reconstruct her body, and unexpectedly, these divine spirits had an elixir capable of doing just that.

For him, it was like receiving timely assistance amidst adversity.

Without hesitation, he immediately said, “Rest assured, I will definitely cooperate with you in concocting this elixir.

Just give me one once the elixir is ready.”

Hearing this, Medicine God burst into laughter and said, “You might have misunderstood.

When I said you are the key to concocting this elixir, I didn’t mean I wanted you to help us with the actual crafting.

Instead, we intend to use you as a main ingredient, to throw you into the Alchemy Furnace.

By then, you will become the elixir itself, so naturally, we cannot give you anything.”

Lu Chuan immediately furrowed his brow, “Use me as a main ingredient?”

Medicine God nodded and said, “That’s right.

The key to concocting this elixir is to find an individual with exceptional talent, a unique constitution, and a robust vitality, and to integrate that individual into the elixir.

Only in this way will the crafted elixir possess the effect of reconstructing a physical body.”

“We watched your battle with the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest.

In this day and age, for you to have progressively reached this stage at your age, you are truly a once-in-ten-thousand-years prodigy!

Therefore, if we can use you in the alchemy process, then all five of us have the chance to reconstruct our bodies!”

The Water God looked at Lu Chuan and said, “Don’t blame us for being cruel to you.

We have endured the agony of being without a body for far too long.

Sacrificing you for the rebirth of the five of us is a charitable act from your end as well.”

The Flower God watched Lu Chuan with a smile and said, “Handsome boy, just suffer a little.

As compensation, before we use you to make the elixir, I can accompany you to have some fun.”

Lu Chuan had never expected that these people would come knocking on his door with the intention of turning him into an elixir pill; no wonder he had sensed that they were up to no good from the very beginning.

This old fellow who called himself Medicine God even discussed the matter with a calm face, as if it was not such a heinous act.

He didn’t express his anger immediately, but looked at the Flower God, whose figure was curvaceous and alluring, and asked, “Without a body, how can you make me happy?”

The smile on the Flower God’s face froze instantly, and she then glared at Lu Chuan, shouting, “How I make you happy is none of your business!

With that remark, you’ve lost any chance of receiving my favor!”

Having only a Nascent Soul and lacking a physical body, it was naturally impossible for her to engage in that kind of activity.

The provocative things she would say when with members of the Divine Alliance were just jokes.

Even if she truly couldn’t resist the urge to engage in such acts, she would only simulate the sensation with her Nascent Soul, but after all, the pleasures obtained in such a manner were illusory and couldn’t provide true satisfaction.

The inability to relieve the desires of the heart was the torment that came with losing one’s physical body.

So, after Xiu Niang took control of Mu Nanqing’s body, she tried all means to seduce Lu Chuan.

Besides this point, lacking a flesh body also brings about many other discomforts, which was precisely why the members of the Divine Alliance were so eager to reconstruct their physical forms.

Lu Chuan did not expect such an intense reaction from the Flower God and said indifferently, “I was just a bit curious.”

He glanced over the five individuals present, and his Grade 3 Nascent Soul aura burst forth suddenly as he spoke coldly, “It is understandable that you long to rebuild your flesh bodies, but who gave you the confidence to take mine?”

Gao Tong stepped forward and said, “Lu Chuan, your strength is indeed remarkable, but we five, when we had flesh bodies, were also among the elite in the Nascent Soul Realm.

We fell to our current state due to the loss of our bodies.

Individually, we might not be your match, but together, the five of us can handle you easily!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the auras of all five exploded forth.

Lu Chuan felt their combined might of Grade 3 Nascent Soul and couldn’t help furrowing his brow.

Though these five lacked physical forms, which weakened their combat abilities, there were many methods in cultivation that varied widely, capable of sustaining fighting power.

That they still dared to confront him after witnessing him deal with the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest showed they were well-prepared.

If a fight really broke out, Lu Chuan facing off against five would be extremely difficult.

However difficult it might be, with his current strength and methods, a battle was not out of the question!

“Since you’ve asked for it, don’t blame me for being unkind!” he exclaimed.

As Lu Chuan spoke, his figure dashed rapidly, breaking away from the encirclement of the five and running towards the distance.

Seeing this, the five members of the Divine Alliance did not hesitate and chased after Lu Chuan at high speed.

The Medicine God called out, “You speak arrogantly, yet you’re eager to flee; it seems you’re not as bold as we thought!”

After running a distance, Lu Chuan stopped, turned to the five following him, and with a hand extended, shouted, “Stop right there!”

The members of the Divine Alliance halted, unsure of what Lu Chuan was up to.

Lu Chuan faced them with a smile, saying, “Actually, I wasn’t trying to run away; I wanted to give you a gift.”

Doubt appeared on the faces of the five from the Divine Alliance, and the Medicine God challenged, “Give us a gift?

Are you really that kind-hearted?”

Lu Chuan smiled and replied, “I’m not joking, I really do have something for you.”

With that, several incense sticks appeared in his hand, and with a snap of his fingers, the sticks were instantly lit.

Seeing this, Gao Tong’s face changed dramatically as he exclaimed in alarm, “Scatter quickly, this kid wants to suppress us with positional power!”

Lu Chuan cracked a smile and did not give the five members of the Divine Alliance a chance to disperse.

He held incense in both hands, bowed towards the direction where the five of them stood, and shouted, “Esteemed ones, please accept my bow!”

A strange power was released from the incense in Lu Chuan’s hands, enveloping the five members of the Divine Alliance.

All five of them changed complexion drastically, as if they were subjected to a force they should not have to bear.

Their expressions became extremely pained, and soon they all coughed up blood, their auras suddenly weakening.

Seeing the five people injured, Lu Chuan’s face revealed a look of surprise—he had not expected this method to be so effective.

Last time, when he offered incense at the mountain god temple, it seriously wounded Gao Tong, who later came begging for mercy.

Lu Chuan became very curious about how a simple act of offering incense could injure these so-called divine spirits.

After researching, he deduced that under a suppression of authority, those with a lower rank not suited to receive worship from those of a higher rank would violate the hierarchical order and suffer backlash.

Of course, this situation existed only among those who relied on the Power of Incense Offering to enhance their strength.

Although Lu Chuan rarely dealt with people who cultivated with the Power of Incense Offering, he bought some incense just in case and stored it in the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

If he ever encountered someone who cultivated this power and a conflict arose, he could use this method to cause them some suffering.

He hadn’t expected to use this method so soon.

He had run away earlier precisely to escape the encirclement of the five members of the Divine Alliance, to ensure they would all be within the range of his bowing.

Gao Tong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, clenched his teeth, and glared at Lu Chuan, saying, “I didn’t expect you to resort to such despicable methods right from the start.

Is that all the scope you have?”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “How is this method despicable?

Just because you can’t use it doesn’t make it despicable.

In my eyes, any method that can cause damage to the enemy is a good one.

As for scope… it’s in the hands of the victor!”

“Besides, you five attacking me alone, and you still have the nerve to talk to me about scope?”

“Now that all five of you are severely injured, it looks like your plan to capture me for alchemy is going down the drain.”

He turned to the Medicine God and said, “Old man, tell me your elixir formula, and I might consider sparing your life!”

The Medicine God glanced at Lu Chuan and said, “Indeed, your method caught us off guard, but we made many preparations to capture you.

Do you really think you can evade being captured for alchemy just because we’re hurt a little?”

Having said that, he took out a black bead and swallowed it.

Lu Chuan was familiar with that black bead—it was a soul bead!

After swallowing the soul bead, the power of Divine Soul quickly healed the Medicine God’s injuries and even elevated his aura to a higher level.

Having their physical bodies destroyed, injuries sustained by them, who were of the Nascent Soul body, were ultimately related to the Divine Soul.

Therefore, as long as they had sufficient power of Divine Soul, no matter how grave the injuries, they could quickly recover.

Seeing this, the other four did not hesitate and each swallowed a soul bead.

Not only did the five of them recover their peak aura, but it became even more terrifying than before.

Lu Chuan cursed inwardly, finding these five people shameless for bullying him with such methods.

“Lu Chuan, you can’t escape today.

Surrender peacefully!”

The War God, who had been silent, suddenly shouted and took the lead in attacking Lu Chuan.

The other four didn’t hesitate either and charged towards Lu Chuan.

All five simultaneously attacked Lu Chuan, and the battle between six Nascent Soul skillful experts caused the earth to shake and the heavens to split.

Lu Chuan employed every trick in the book to fend off attacks from all directions, managing to maintain the situation, although with difficulty.

After all, he was facing five opponents, all of whom were Grade 3 Nascent Souls, which was a completely different concept from dealing with five Martial Artists of the Saint Realm.

Countless waves of power howled through the woods, piercing innumerable trees and blasting countless deep pits in the ground, with many places catching ablaze with fierce flames.

Eventually, a combined attack by the five sent Lu Chuan flying backward, crashing through several trees before he finally came to a stop, with a trickle of fresh blood at the corner of his mouth.

He reached to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, a smile on his face as he muttered, “It seems that relying solely on one’s own strength is still no match for the assault of five Nascent Soul experts.”

The five from the Divine Alliance approached Lu Chuan.

The Medicine God stared at Lu Chuan, “Lu Chuan, you are no match for us.

Surrender!”

Lu Chuan laughed heartily and said, “I was merely testing my limits just now.

Did you really think I have no way to deal with you?”

All five furrowed their brows.

The Water God said, “Stop blustering here.

No matter what tricks you have up your sleeve, you can’t beat the five of us joining hands!”

The corners of Lu Chuan’s mouth curled up, “Is that so?

Then let me turn the impossible into possible!”

After he spoke, the Demon Suppression Pagoda within his Dantian began to spin rapidly.

A force spread out in all directions, forming a unique domain within a one-kilometer radius.

The strength of everyone within this domain was suppressed to seventy percent!

Demon Suppression Pagoda, Suppression!
