As Mo Cang spoke, he turned to the side and extended his hand, making a respectful gesture to lead the way. He had completely lost his previous majesty and replaced it with a cautious and ingratiating manner.
Mo Ran breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the matter was mostly settled. He quickly gave Luo Chuan a wink, signaling Luo Chuan to follow Mo Cang inside.
Luo Chuan remained calm, nodded slightly, and strode into the treasure pavilion.
Stepping inside the treasure tower, one sees a spacious hall with a floor paved with spirit jade that radiates a warm spiritual light. The walls are adorned with portraits of powerful figures from the Alliance's past generations, each portrait containing a trace of the oppressive power of a remnant soul, inspiring awe.
The messengers coming and going were all dressed in uniform black robes, walking hurriedly with solemn expressions; no one dared to make a loud noise.
Mo Cang led Luo Chuan to a secluded spot in the inner hall. The messengers along the way were all astonished to see the steward personally leading the way. They all bowed their heads and dared not look directly at Luo Chuan.
Everyone was wondering who this unfamiliar young man was, that he could make the head of the department lower himself to such a degree.
Mo Ran followed closely behind, a smug smile on his face, calculating in his heart that he was about to obtain that Cinie Treasure magic treasure, and that the status of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion would be elevated to a higher level as a result.
Upon entering the secluded inner hall, Mo Cang bowed respectfully to the statue before him and said softly, "Reporting to the elder, a fellow cultivator wishes to join our Cultivation Alliance. Would you be so kind as to grant him the status of an envoy?"
"Good."
A faint golden aura of remnant soul emanated from the statue. It seemed weak, but it contained a profound foundation that far surpassed Sunie Realm and approached the level of the Heavenly Human Realm. When its gaze fell on Luo Chuan...
The soul's intent condensed slightly, clearly sensing the unfathomable cultivation level within him, which had already surpassed the threshold of the Sunie Realm. His foundation was so strong that he could be considered one of the best even among the high-ranking members of the alliance.
The remnant soul remained silent for a moment, then its voice, aged and solemn, echoed in the inner hall, "Judging from your cultivation, you have already reached the level of the Sunie Realm, far exceeding the standard of ordinary envoys."
"According to the Alliance's rules, such cultivation is sufficient to be directly appointed as an Alliance Elder, enjoying the authority to guard the star field, with a salary and permission authority above all other envoys."
He paused, his gaze darkening slightly, and continued, "However, alliance elders must have rendered meritorious service, whether by quelling rebellions in the star field, contributing to their sect, or guarding a territory. No merit, no appointment—this is an ironclad rule. You are new to the alliance and have yet to achieve any merit; therefore, you cannot be appointed an elder for the time being."
After saying that, a flash of light appeared in the palm of the statue, and a dark golden black iron token slowly appeared in front of Luo Chuan.
The token is engraved with the divine beast totem of the Cultivation Alliance on the front and the words "Envoy" on the back. The edges are filled with a restrictive aura. It feels slightly cool to the touch and exudes an official majesty. It allows free access to the core star field of the alliance and passage through various strongholds without being hindered by checkpoints.
The remnant soul's voice rang out again. "This is the official envoy token of the Alliance. With this token, you can enter the outer areas of the Alliance, participate in sect missions, and accumulate merit."
"When you have made enough contributions and achieved the required merits, without any assessment or recommendation, I will personally promote you to the position of elder and grant you authority over a region."
"Remember, wield the Alliance Order and act in accordance with the Alliance's authority. You must not betray your sect or wreak havoc on the star field. Otherwise, the token will self-destruct, your soul will be punished, and you will be condemned by heaven and earth."
Luo Chuan raised his hand, and the envoy token landed steadily in his palm. A slightly cool touch came from the token, and the restriction on it resonated slightly with his spiritual power, instantly imprinting his aura on it, making it a unique identity certificate.
He knew this was the best possible outcome. With this token, he could legitimately enter the core of the alliance, approach Long Panzi's sphere of influence, and search for Liu Mei's whereabouts.
As for the position of elder, he had no interest in it; power was far less important to him than rescuing Liu Mei.
Luo Chuan held the token, bowed slightly to the statue, his posture upright, and spoke calmly yet with due courtesy, "Thank you for your kindness, Elder. This junior will keep the Alliance's rules in mind, act in accordance with the orders, and live up to the authority granted by the Alliance."
"If the opportunity arises in the future, I will serve the alliance, accumulate merits, and live up to the elder's expectations today."
Luo Chuan's voice was neither humble nor arrogant. He showed no dissatisfaction because he was only a messenger for the time being, nor was he arrogant or rude because of his high cultivation. His calm demeanor made the remnant soul in the statue nod slightly, and a hint of approval appeared in its eyes.
Mo Cang and Mo Ran, who were standing nearby, both felt relieved upon seeing this.
Mo Cang secretly rejoiced that he had not neglected Luo Chuan. This person's cultivation was unfathomable, and even the hidden elders of the alliance looked at him with special regard. He was sure to soar to great heights in the future. Today, he could be said to have formed a good relationship with Luo Chuan.
Mo Ran was overjoyed. He was certain that the Cinie Treasure treasure was his, and with this connection, Myriad Treasures Pavilion's position on the Trade Star would only become more secure in the future.
The remnant soul glanced at Luo Chuan one last time and said calmly, "Now that the order has been given, you may proceed to the Alliance core on your own. Mo Cang will inform you of the subsequent missions and details of the merit system. Go."
As the words fell, the statue's eyes slowly closed, and the thick aura of the remnant soul receded back into the statue. The oppressive atmosphere in the inner hall gradually faded, and peace returned.
Mo Cang quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting to Luo Chuan, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Senior, on officially becoming an envoy of our Cultivation Alliance! From now on, Senior can freely enter and exit the core area of the Alliance with your token. If there is any need, I will be at your service at any time."
Luo Chuan put away the envoy's token, his expression still indifferent, and nodded slightly without saying anything more.
He had only one thought in his mind: to take the order into the core and save his disciple, Liu Mei.
" The Cultivation Alliance Star Domain Map is also included in the token. If you wish to go there, you can do so through the token."
Mo Ran smiled and reminded him.
Luo Chuan nodded slightly, bid farewell to the two brothers, then summoned the Star Compass and, following the map's guidance, shot straight towards the star field where the Cultivation Alliance was located.
Watching Luo Chuan's departing figure, Mo Cang subconsciously asked, "Cousin, this person is exceptionally talented, probably already at the Heavenly Human Realm. Why did he choose to join our Cultivation Alliance?"
"Who knows? Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. We're just a little confused. I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before, but I can't quite remember where."
Upon hearing this, Mo Cang narrowed his eyes, searching his memory for the person's name, but he couldn't quite recall where he had seen him before.
"Never mind, the Cultivation Alliance previously issued a reward order requiring the hunting down of a cultivator named Luo Chuan. If we can kill him, we can obtain a Cinie Treasure."
Mo Cang shrugged and smiled slightly, "If I could obtain it, breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm in this lifetime shouldn't be a problem."
