The mysterious Luo Ba
The phrase "white clothes are whiter than snow" usually refers to a beautiful woman wearing a white dress. However, it is not always the case. For example, the man standing in front of Zhuge Xiang is dressed in Moon White outfit, which suits him perfectly. He looks very upright, and a Purple-Gold belt around his waist gives him a noble yet understated air.
The man's eyes were clear, like those of an innocent child untouched by the world's corruption. Yet, his eyes also seemed to contain everything, both the beauty and the filth of the world.
Looking at the man's appearance, the first impression is that he is very young, but you can't tell his exact age at all. He seems to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, or twenty-seven or twenty-eight, or even thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old.
Although Zhuge Xiang felt a sense of emotion looking at the Asura Sect, he was still Cultivator was about to enter the True Essence Realm. Moreover, he had walked through mountains of corpses Blood Sea all the way, so his perception was exceptionally sharp. However, this man suddenly appeared next to Zhuge Xiang without him noticing at all, which showed that this man was no ordinary person.
"Luo Ba, rank???"
Looking at the man's level information, Zhuge Xiang secretly understood that the other party's cultivation was very high, at least beyond his ability to detect. However, who exactly was this man Luo Ba? Why was he here? Zhuge Xiang was also very puzzled.
"And who are you? Why are you here?" Zhuge Xiang himself couldn't say for sure whether he was Asura Sect Disciple, so he didn't answer Luo Ba's question. Instead, he asked the other party in return.
"Nothing, just spacing out. Looking at this Asura Sect, I feel quite emotional," Zhuge Xiang replied without answering his own question. Luo Ba wasn't angry, and answered instead.
"Oh? Are you also a disciple of Shura Sect?" After hearing Luo Ba's words, the emotion and vicissitudes in his words did not seem to be fake, Zhuge Xiang asked curiously.[
"Asura Sect Disciples?" Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's question, Luo Ba hesitated slightly, pondered for a moment, and nodded. "If you had to say, you could call me that."
"Sort of?" Luo Ba's answer piqued Zhuge Xiang's curiosity. If it is, then it is; if it isn't, then it isn't. What does "sort of" even mean?
Before Zhuge Xiang could ask any further questions, Luo Ba spoke up, pointing to the vast scale of the Asura Sect. Casually, as if in a casual conversation, he asked, "What are your thoughts on this Asura Sect?"
"The Asura Sect? One of the Nine Great Sects of the Great Qin Empire, with 108 Void Realm Great Expert. Such a lineup is unparalleled in the entire Yanling Commandery. Do you think I have the right to comment on it? Back when I first came to the Asura Sect, its grandeur One Hundred and Eight Floating Mountains left me speechless," Zhuge Xiang replied after looking at the enormous and magnificent Asura Sect.
At this point, Zhuge Xiang thought of his trip to Canghai Commandery. The geniuses of Canghai Commandery were far superior to those of Yanling Commandery. He also thought of the fact that Large Sect had a hundred Void Realm, while the Asura Sect only had a mere hundred. Thinking of all this, Zhuge Xiang stopped and couldn't continue.
"Before? And now?" Luo Ba asked, clearly noticing Zhuge Xiang's unusual behavior, still nonchalant, as if chatting casually.
"Now?" Thinking of the shortcomings of the Asura Sect, Zhuge Xiang indeed had a thousand words he wanted to say, but after all, this was the Asura Sect. He had nurtured the Asura Sect when he was young, and it was difficult for Zhuge Xiang to speak ill of the Asura Sect in front of strangers. Therefore, he just smiled and shook his head without saying anything in response to Luo Ba's words.
Luo Ba smiled calmly at Zhuge Xiang's reaction. Since Zhuge Xiang was unwilling to discuss it, Luo Ba naturally did not force him. He simply smiled and said, "Alright, it's indeed inappropriate to discuss such issues in such a hurry now. I hope we can sit down and talk properly when we have the opportunity in the future."
After saying this, Luo Ba turned and left. Zhuge Xiang stared at his retreating figure in astonishment, wondering who he was and what the point of his words was.
However, Luo Ba, who was leaving, suddenly stopped without turning around and said, "Also, I want to remind you of something. In the Cultivation World, right and wrong cannot be clearly defined by reason alone; it depends on strength. This is especially true for the Sect like the Asura Sect, which prioritize strength. Sometimes, lofty principles are less effective than being assertive and demonstrating your strength and value."
After saying this, Luo Ba really left. His words startled Zhuge Xiang, as if they had a hidden meaning, making Zhuge Xiang ponder deeply. When Zhuge Xiang came to his senses and went to look for Luo Ba again, he found that Robert had already left.
Shaking his head, Asura Sect Zhuge Xiang that encountering such a mysterious and strange fellow at the entrance of the Asura Sect was just a minor "interlude." After temporarily putting aside the matter of Luo Ba, Zhuge Xiang entered the Asura Sect Headquarters and waited for Lu Yuling's arrival at the agreed place.
After Hundred Emperors Tomb left, several days passed. Lu Yuling's cultivation had become even more profound, breaking through to the Spell Control Stage. With the breakthrough to the Spell Control Stage, she gained the ability to cultivate and cast Spell. Lu Yuling's strength must have increased accordingly. Zhuge Xiang was not sure of her exact strength, but his intuition told him that she was very strong.
A flowing white dress, a cool and aloof demeanor, like a solitary moon in the sky—this was Lu Yuling, still as stunning as ever. Few men in the world could resist her charm; her face was breathtakingly perfect, and her figure was perfectly proportioned...
Looking at Lu Yuling's figure, Zhuge Xiang couldn't help but recall that day at the lava field, when he and Lu Yuling were pressed close together. Even now, the feeling of that soft, delicate body against his was still Memory.
"Let's go, the East Sea is quite a distance from here," Lu Yuling said to Zhuge Xiang, oblivious to the strange look in his eyes. She was also somewhat out of sorts.
They were heading to the East Sea to find Ice Maiden, to find out why she had split her three souls, and to find out the true reason for her own existence. Even with Lu Yuling's aloof personality, it was difficult for her to remain calm.
"Master, Zhuge Xiang is not dead. He participated in the Dragon Phoenix Ranking of Canghai Commandery and even broke through to the Spell Control Stage." At the Asura Sect Headquarters, almost at the same time as Purgatory Elder, a man knelt on the ground in Myriad Flowers Elder's Great Hall and said respectfully.
Myriad Flowers Elder's physical body was destroyed by Zhuge Xiang using the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. Only her Nascent Soul managed to escape with her life in a panic, avoiding the fate of being completely annihilated. In Myriad Flowers Elder's seat sat a young man with a pale face, who looked to be no more than twenty years old. This man was Myriad Flowers Elder.
The Nascent Soul lives within the physical body. Without the physical body, the Nascent Soul is like a tree without roots, a castle in the air. Even the purest power within it is difficult to exert. Therefore, most Cultivator who want to live in the Nascent Soul form only have two choices.
Firstly, the Nascent Soul is formed from the cultivation of certain victory. Although it has a physical body, it is actually illusory. Like a Vengeful Spirits Fierce Spirit, it can cultivate the Ghost Dao, undergo three calamities and nine tribulations, and still achieve enlightenment and become Ghost Immortal.
However, the cultivation of the Ghost Dao is far different from that of human Cultivator and Demon Cultivator. Switching to the Ghost Dao means facing its chilling coldness, darkness, loneliness, and so on, enough to drive any normal person insane. More importantly, switching to another path means starting from scratch and slowly traversing the cultivation path from the beginning. Who can give up their existing achievements?
Secondly, there is the method of possession, which involves taking over another person's body, using one's own nascent Nascent Soul to enter the Purple Mansion Spiritual Platform, and temporarily residing in another person's body to continue cultivation. Once the heavenly Heavenly Tribulation is overcome, one can achieve the status of gods and Buddhas.
However, the body gained through possession is inherently repulsive, making cultivation extremely difficult and less effective. Moreover, the heavenly Heavenly Tribulation are not merely tribulations; the laws of nature are clear, and the Heavenly Tribulation experienced will be at least ten times more ferocious, almost threatening life and death...
Therefore, no matter what, the existence of the physical body is very important. This Myriad Flowers Elder had his physical body destroyed, leaving only his Nascent Soul, and his cultivation was greatly damaged. However, he did manage to preserve his Void Realm Great Expert by choosing the method of possession.
"What? That guy isn't dead? And he even reached the Spell Control Stage?!" Upon hearing the news about Zhuge Xiang, Myriad Flowers Elder couldn't hide his anger.
Who caused this situation? Zhuge Xiang. Moreover, the Asura Sect was originally a demonic Sect. After his physical body was destroyed, Myriad Flowers Elder of the Asura Sect suffered no shortage of humiliation and ridicule from other elders. Void Realm Great Expert had his physical body destroyed by a disciple. Such a blow almost made Myriad Flowers Elder unable to hold his head up in the Asura Sect.
I originally thought that Zhuge Xiang should have perished under that Heavenly Tribulation, but I didn't expect that he would actually survive. Even the Thunder Lightning Crystal Dragon Palace couldn't kill him? Then this guy is even more expendable.
"Master, we just received news that Zhuge Xiang has actually returned to the Asura Sect and is currently inside the Sect," Myriad Flowers Elder, his heart filled with cold killing intent. Just then, another disciple ran into the Great Hall and called out, clearly someone had recognized Zhuge Xiang at the entrance of the Asura Sect.
"Oh? You've courted your own death, so don't blame anyone else," Myriad Flowers Elder's face turned cold upon hearing his disciple's words.
There was no need for any other disciples to intervene. Myriad Flowers Elder stood up from his seat and flew out of the hall. "All disciples, follow me to kill Zhuge Xiang."
"Yes, Master!" Regardless of whether it was genuine or not, Myriad Flowers Elder was at least the nominal Master of these disciples. Upon hearing Myriad Flowers Elder's command, the disciples in the Great Hall responded in unison and then followed Myriad Flowers Elder as they flew out of the hall.
"What on earth happened?" The Void Realm Great Expert been dispatched, accompanied by all his disciples. The commotion caused chaos within the Asura Sect. (To be continued.
