Chapter 255 Return! 【First update! 】
Exit of Cave No. 2.
Chen Jichuan strode out, and the deacons from various sects who were guarding the entrance to the crypt came forward to verify his identity. They hurriedly paid homage and all called him: "Master Dai"
"Dai Zhenren."
"There are still seven years left in this phase. If you come out now, you will not be able to go in again within seven years. What does Master Dai have to do? I can convey it to you."
The deacon of Butian Sect has a respectful attitude.
The middle-level real people in Cave No. 2 follow a ten-year cycle. They can come out early in each cycle, but if they want to enter again, they have to wait until the next cycle begins.
Generally speaking.
Even if the middle-level real people who have been cultivating near Cave No. 2 for a long time choose to come out, most of them choose to do so in the ninth or tenth year, just one and a half years in advance.
Once things are done, the next cycle just starts without any delay.
But now that the cycle has only been three years, Chen Jichuan has come out and will not be able to enter for the next seven years.
As a deacon of Butian Sect, of course he knew Chen Jichuan's status and intimidating power in Cave No. 2.
Without Chen Jichuan in charge, it would be much more difficult for the real Butian Sect in Cave No. 2.
The Butian Sect's deacon's inquiry was obviously not in compliance with the rules. But the deacons of the other six sects did not dare to breathe. They just pretended not to hear and did not dare to say a word.
They were just Qi Refining cultivators, and they were like ants in the eyes of the ‘Jade-faced Master’ who made all the fifth-level and sixth-level immortals in their sect fearful.
How dare you offend?
"No need."
"Good guard."
Chen Jichuan had no intention of going back and wouldn't care about this. After replying, the deacon of Butian Sect quickly said yes, not daring to say anything and stepped back.
Chen Jichuan walked straight out.
Not long after.
An old man in a long gown suddenly appeared in front of Chen Jichuan. When Chen Jichuan saw this man, he immediately smiled and said: "Dai Zong has met Elder Mu."
The Supreme Elder of Butian Sect, ‘Murong’!
When Chen Jichuan first entered the second-level cave, among the seven guarding sects outside, the guard of Butian Sect was 'Chen Yuanning'.
Chen Yuanning resigned after a hundred years in office and passed away more than ten years later.
The person in front of me was replaced.
Also once the master of the Danyi Palace, Murong broke through to the late second level three hundred years ago. Thirty years later, he succeeded Chen Yuanning as the master of the Danyi Palace.
Another hundred years later, he abdicated his throne and became the 'Supreme Elder', who came to guard the entrance to Cave No. 2.
It has remained there until today, more than one hundred and seventy years in total.
Chen Jichuan was no stranger to Murong. A large part of what he gained in Cave No. 2 was traded with the sect in exchange for various elixirs.
He has a lot of contacts with Murong.
……
"Why are you coming out now?"
Murong took Chen Jichuan back to the Butian Sect's headquarters and asked curiously.
He has been dealing with Chen Jichuan for more than 170 years, and has a deep understanding of Dai Zong, who is called a 'legend' by many disciples and real people in the sect.
Generally speaking.
If there is no big shot in the sect who is about to die, Chen Jichuan will not take the initiative to come out. Sometimes Murong didn't even remember which of the strong men in the sect was about to die, and he knew it when he saw Chen Jichuan coming out.
"Who is approaching the end of the day recently?"
Murong thought secretly in his heart, and thought about all the high-level people in the late second level of the sect, but he still didn't expect it.
Chen Jichuan didn't know what Mu Rong was thinking, nor did he know that he was gradually being called the 'Funeral Pioneer' and the 'Funeral Real Man' among his sect.
After hearing Murong's inquiry, he replied honestly: "Cave No. 2 is of little help to me, and I don't plan to stay there any longer."
"Not waiting any longer?"
After hearing this, Murong was surprised and asked: "You are still in the fifth heaven now, right? Why don't you stay for a few more years?"
Chen Jichuan's quest for the No. 2 Catacombs is unmatched by anyone, and has been going sideways for the past hundred years.
In this case.
As long as Chen Jichuan saw the visions and treasures, he would not miss them. They were just like his own back garden.
This is a rare place for cultivation.
Many people, including Mu Rong, believed that Chen Jichuan would cultivate in Cave No. 2 until he reached the sixth or even seventh level before emerging.
I didn't expect that I couldn't stay so early.
"I've been idle for too long."
"Prepare to move to another place for activities."
Chen Jichuan smiled at Murong.
"Free?"
Mu Rong understood now.
Chen Jichuan said it euphemistically, but Murong understood clearly——
This is because no one in Cave No. 2 can fight.
Come to think of it, Chen Jichuan's combat prowess is obvious to all. Which of the Seven Sects would dare to offend him?
And Murong knew about Chen Jichuan’s past:
No matter it was the period of the Nine Refining Immortal Mansion or the period of entering the True Inheritance of Butian Sect, he was out there every day, slaying demons and slaying demons without stopping.
Further back.
Entering Cave No. 5, he also took several demon kings with him to hunt evil gods everywhere.
When they arrived at Cave No. 2, there were no shortage of big battles and small battles at the beginning, and they even had the lives of other six sect masters in their hands.
It can be said.
Chen Jichuan's life was a life of fighting and passion.
But as his cultivation level and combat power increased, it was difficult to find an opponent in Cave No. 2.
There had not been a hearty battle in more than a hundred years, and when Murong thought about it, with the temperament of this 'Jade-faced Master', he really couldn't hold it back.
Thinking of this, Murong suddenly smiled: "You came out at the right time. The Seven Sects are discussing and preparing to develop caves No. 5, 6, and 7, and they need manpower."
"I heard that too."
Chen Jichuan nodded.
When he came out at this time, he also had this consideration.
When the seven second-level crypts were discovered, the strategy set by the Seven Immortal Sects was to prioritize the development of No. 1 and No. 2 burrows and use the peripheral phenomena and treasures to enhance the strength of each sect.
Four hundred years later, the effect is indeed remarkable.
For example, in Cave No. 2, there are forty middle-level real people in Bu Tian Sect in each period, and real people are promoted almost every decade.
The fourth heaven ascends to the fifth heaven.
The fifth heaven ascends to the sixth heaven.
There are even many people who have been promoted to the seventh heaven and become high-level real people in one fell swoop.
In the two hundred and twenty years since Chen Jichuan entered Cave No. 2 alone, he has come into contact with and heard of twenty-four high-level real people promoted by the Butian Sect alone.
This is only Cave No. 2, only the Butian Sect.
Outside of Cave No. 2, the number of newly promoted high-level real people of the Butian Sect is probably not small, if not as high as in Cave No. 2.
The other six sects are also not much worse than the Butian Sect.
Catastrophic phenomenon.
The body of the evil god.
The god of evil.
The discovery of seven second-level caves indeed caused a huge explosion in the strength of the Seven Immortal Sects. Compared with when Chen Jichuan first entered the Butian Sect, he has improved countless times.
There are dozens more high-level real people alone.
What about the middle-level real people and low-level real people going down?
Too many!
The Seven Immortal Sects feel that their strength is sufficient and the time has come, so the strategic focus has naturally shifted accordingly.
"It's not just because the Seven Sects feel they are strong enough."
"A large part of the reason is that the conflicts between the various sects are increasingly intensifying."
"Most of the new generation of intermediate and high-level real people in each sect have been trained in Cave No. 2. There are deep old and new grudges between them. As they gradually become the mainstream of each sect, among the seven immortal sects, There are gradually signs of division.”
"If this continues, within a few hundred years, before the evil gods are dealt with, there will be a war within the seven sects."
"It will be a big disaster then."
Murong sighed.
Chen Jichuan was also somewhat silent as he listened.
He has stayed in Cave No. 2 for two hundred and twenty years. Being in it, he can see these grudges more clearly.
Even though the Seven Immortal Sects have consciously sent 'moderates' like Mu Rong to guard Cave No. 2, they are always giving advice and reminding the real people in their respective sects to be cautious.
But when you really enter the border area and face opportunities and treasures, who can be calm and give them up?
Fights are inevitable, and so are deaths and injuries.
There will naturally be no shortage of grudges and hatreds.
There is no solution at all by relying on constraints alone.
Therefore, the older generations of each sect sat together and discussed a charter——
"Instead of fighting internally, it is better to deflect conflicts and deal with the outside world in unison."
"Clench your fists and fight the evil god!"
"If all seven second-level caves can be knocked down and each of the seven sects has one, the contradiction will naturally disappear."
"And——"
Murong smiled and said longingly: "And at the other end of the cave, there is a world of evil gods!"
……
Say goodbye to Mu Rong and leave the Teardrop Islands.
Chen Jichuan originally wanted to go straight to Taimu Mountain in Zhongzhou.
But what Murong said before leaving made Chen Jichuan change his mind temporarily and rush to Tanzhou instead.
There is a ready-made teleportation array between the two places.
Chen Jichuan only needed to transfer twice and arrived at Cangyan Mountain one day later.
"Dai Zhenren."
"I've met Mr. Dai."
Cave No. 5 is just like it was more than 200 years ago. Each of the seven sects has a middle-level real person guarding it.
Three of the sects, Wuyuan Sect, Jiudingshan, and Kaysapa Temple, have been replaced by others, and the first guard has passed away.
At this time, there were two real people from Wuyuan Sect and Jiuding Mountain who were in charge of the base camp.
Chen Jichuan was no stranger to these two men. Although they had never met each other, they had been to Cave No. 2, and Chen Jichuan had also read their information.
The one from Wuyuan Sect is called ‘Zhou Yang’, and the one from Jiuding Mountain is called ‘Peng Hai’. They are both at the sixth level of heaven.
However, Chen Jichuan had only read their information and knew the basic information. Chen Jichuan's name was like thunder to Zhou and Peng.
Seeing Chen Jichuan's arrival, everyone came out to greet him regardless of seclusion.
In addition to the two of them, there is also an old friend of Chen Jichuan.
"Quinzi wrote a letter a few days ago."
"I originally planned to leave office in two years and visit Master Dai in person to thank him for saving Quanzi's life. I didn't expect to meet Master Dai again here."
Murong Jue is much older than he was more than two hundred years ago.
At first, he called Chen Jichuan "brother."
Now when I meet Chen Jichuan, I respectfully call him ‘Zhenren’.
Times have changed.
Murong Jue had a higher status at first, but when they met again, Chen Jichuan was left far behind.
"Brother Murong sees the outside world, it's just a little effort."
Chen Jichuan said with a smile.
Zhou Yang and Peng Hai were surprised to hear this, so they asked Murong Jue about it. Only then did they find out that Chen Jichuan actually saved the life of Murong Jue's son Murong Hai in the No. 2 cave.
Zhou Yang was a little embarrassed and smiled beside him.
Because the four people who surrounded and killed Murong Hai were from the same clan as him. He even has a good relationship with the leader ‘Zhu Yongping’.
At this time, it was inevitable to feel a little embarrassed when facing the 'Sufferer' and Chen Jichuan.
Fortunately, Chen Jichuan didn't stay at the base camp for long. After chatting with Murong Jue, he went straight to Wuling Mountain.
