Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1476 Drunken God Tower

Upon hearing this, the Jade Purity Sage continued to transmit his divine sense, saying, "I wouldn't call it a brilliant insight, but I have made similar deductions before."

First of all, the information recorded in the ancient texts and jade slips should be true. The strength of those cultivators should be similar to that of the cultivators in the Immortal Realm. Otherwise, the entire Immortal Realm continent would not have just split apart, but would have been completely destroyed.

It should be understood that cultivators at the Shaping Dao Realm can completely overwhelm those at the Supreme Purity Profound Immortal Realm; human cultivators have virtually no chance of resisting.

Lu Chen listened intently, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. He knew all too well the terrifying power of the Shaping Dao Realm, a power dozens of times greater than that of the Taiqing Profound Immortal Realm.

"Then there is only one reason," the Jade Purity Saint continued, "After those cultivators entered the Immortal Realm, their cultivation levels were suppressed by the world rules of the Immortal Realm, which is why human cultivators had the opportunity to contend with them."

Then another question arises: if this conclusion holds true, then the self-proclaimed 'half-saints' of the Immortal Realm would have no ability to destroy the Immortal Realm continent. Such an act would be unacceptable to the Heavenly Dao and the rules of the world.

Therefore, I suspect there must be more to the story than meets the eye regarding the destruction of the Immortal Realm and the Chaos Tree.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was deeply disturbed. The Jade Purity Sage's deduction was not only logically rigorous but also reasonable, forcing him to re-examine the information he already possessed.

Just as Lu Chen was deep in thought, the Jade Purity Saint remained silent for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts, and continued to transmit his thoughts through divine sense: "Actually, I have a bold hypothesis. Perhaps behind all of this lies an even more powerful existence, or rather, a more mysterious force that is manipulating everything."

These so-called extraterrestrial demons are not the true masterminds. Their appearance in the Immortal Realm is perhaps due to the guidance or manipulation of some force.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen felt a chill run down his spine. He realized that if the Jade Purity Saint's hypothesis was true...

That means they are facing not just a powerful enemy, but a vast, unpredictable, and elusive conspiracy. Could all of this be related to that old Taoist priest?

Just then, a magnificent city silhouette suddenly appeared ahead, which was their destination—Chang Le Sheng Dao City.

The two landed outside the city gate and immediately felt a strong divine aura rushing towards them.

The city streets were wide and clean, lined with shops selling all sorts of exotic magical treasures, elixirs, and rare materials, attracting many cultivators to stop and admire them. A faint fragrance permeated the air, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.

"I never expected to find such a large city of cultivators in this shattered world. This trip has truly been worthwhile." Lu Chen looked around and sighed, "Perhaps I can find out the information I'm looking for here."

Sage Yuqing smiled and nodded: "That's right, the resources here are very abundant. It's just a pity that the cost of living is also extremely high. With my strength, I dare not stay here for long."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen fully understood the Jade Purity Saint's thoughts, because Lu Chen had already paid four thousand low-grade divine crystals just to enter the city, one thousand of which were for the tickets for the two of them.

The other three thousand coins were for a three-day stay, an expense that ordinary cultivators could not afford. However, this did not affect the prosperity of Chang Le Sacred City, and cultivators came and went in an endless stream.

As Lu Chen and the Jade Purity Saint walked down the street, they sensed that the atmosphere here was vastly different from that of the Immortal Realm. It seemed as if an invisible pressure enveloped the entire city, completely lacking the relaxed and carefree feeling of the Immortal Realm.

After a brief stroll, Lu Chen took a liking to a winery called "Drunken God Pavilion".

Although this winery is not luxurious, it exudes a simple and elegant atmosphere.

Just as the two were about to go inside, a slovenly-dressed, dirty-faced little girl suddenly rushed out of the winery and bumped into Lu Chen.

The little girl immediately fell to the ground, and at that moment, a golden light, like a large sword, slashed directly at her.

Seeing this, Lu Chen frowned slightly and immediately kicked out, directly turning the light into nothingness.

Immediately afterwards, a seemingly respectable cultivator came out. Seeing that Lu Chen had so easily deflected his attack, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then hurriedly and respectfully apologized to Lu Chen.

Seeing that he was only at the Shaping Dao Realm and yet he was bullying a little girl, Lu Chen immediately rebuked him angrily: "How dare you bully a weak person like you! Get out of here!" The man bowed again and left without looking back.

It wasn't that Lu Chen didn't want to kill him, but rather that he was concerned about being a newcomer and didn't want to kill someone in public. If it were anywhere else, he would definitely have killed him without hesitation.

At this moment, the rescued little girl got up and dusted herself off.

Lu Chen then took a closer look at the little girl and discovered that she also possessed the cultivation level of the Shaping Dao Realm, and was a demon race member who had undergone human transformation, although her demonic aura was very obscure.

"Little girl, are you alright?" Lu Chen asked gently. The little girl nodded, but a hint of wariness and unease showed in her eyes.

"Thank you for saving me, senior," the little girl said timidly.

Lu Chen couldn't understand how a young girl with the cultivation of the Shaping Dao Realm could be chased and killed by that person. Didn't she know how to fight back?

Perhaps because Lu Chen was watching her, the little girl didn't dare to leave, and seemed to be very introverted and timid.

"Don't be afraid, little girl. I'm a good man. What's your name? Why did that cultivator try to kill you?"

"My name is Yao Ji, you can call me Xiao Yao, brother." The little girl who called herself Yao Ji said softly with her head down.

Then, Yao Ji hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "I was listening to other cultivators chatting, but one of them said I stole something from him and wanted to capture me... Actually, I didn't steal anything from him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen frowned slightly. He knew that there were indeed many injustices in this world, especially for a lonely little demon like Yao Ji, whose situation was even more difficult.

Moved by compassion, Lu Chen spoke gently:

"In that case, why don't you come inside with me, have a cup of tea to warm yourselves up?"

Yao Ji looked at Lu Chen with some hesitation, then glanced at the Jade Purity Saint beside her, who simply smiled and nodded in agreement.

So the three of them went into Zuishenju together.

At this moment, there were many cultivators in the lobby on the first floor. Perhaps because Lu Chen had easily stopped a massacre, many people could tell that he was not a kind person, so they did not say much. Some cultivators with lower cultivation levels did not even dare to look Lu Chen in the eye, for fear of getting into trouble.

Stepping into the lobby, a faint aroma of wine filled the air, creating a pleasant atmosphere. They casually found a seat by the window and ordered several bottles of fine wine and a few side dishes.

No matter where you are, such a mixed and chaotic place is always the best place to gather information...
