MTLNOVEL Chapter 197: Smelling the Scent of Death?_2
"If that's the case, it seems the Da Feng Dynasty is even stronger than I had imagined..."
The young monk slightly narrowed his eyes.
He pondered this silently in his heart.
However, it appeared that even so, the issue was not significant.
Now, White Lotus Prefecture was already firmly under the control of his White Brahma Temple.
The sacred item of White Brahma Temple, the White Brahma Lotus, growing above in the sky,
had also reached a certain stage of growth.
Although it had not fully achieved the transformation from illusion to reality, it was clear that the White Brahma Lotus was not far from reaching that state.
As monks within the White Brahma Temple,
all they needed to do now was to wait in silence and devote themselves to cultivation.
This vast Da Feng Dynasty,
in the not too distant future,
will inevitably fall into the hands of their White Brahma Temple.
This vast Da Feng Dynasty, not long from now, will also become a paradise in the hearts of many monks within White Brahma Temple.
The sacred White Brahma Lotus, within the temple,
will extend its roots throughout the entire Da Feng Dynasty.
With the nourishment of countless beings within the Da Feng Dynasty,
the sacred White Brahma Lotus will inch by inch, bit by bit, continue to mature.
Until the White Brahma Lotus reaches its true maturity.
Until the sacred item, the White Brahma Lotus, gradually condenses into another sacred item of the White Brahma Temple, the Bai Fan Lotus Seed.
And by that time, this place of the White Brahma Temple will enter a phase of rapid development.
...
When he came, he was riding on a spiritual sword, flying through the sword technique.
And when he left, it was still the same.
Only, after this arrival and departure,
Luo Changfeng's emotions gradually became more complex and harder to articulate.
Before going to White Lotus Prefecture,
his mood had been rather pleasant.
His knowledge of White Brahma Temple all came from information gathered through Shadow Guards and that guy, the Carefree Monk.
So, his understanding of White Brahma Temple was merely a vague concept.
But now, having visited White Lotus Prefecture and after seeing the White Brahma Temple, as well as the White Brahma Lotus that is known as one of the most malevolent objects between heaven and earth,
Luo Changfeng's emotions also started to get complex.
His mood wasn't too heavy,
since the current situation was not quite at that level.
However, what he did not expect was
that there would be cultivators within White Brahma Temple whose cultivation was equal to his own.
Yet, it was also a situation unexpected yet reasonable.
After all, White Brahma Temple is known as one of the three major demonic forces within the Buddhist sects,
and the White Brahma Lotus is also known as one of the most malevolent objects.
If White Brahma Temple didn't have any foundation or capability, that would indeed be strange.
Even if the White Brahma Temple in the Da Feng Dynasty
is just a minor branch among the thousands of White Brahma Temples,
and not one of the true main temples of the White Brahma Temple.
"Hei Yu, if it were you..."
"What do you plan to do next?"
In the high sky, on the longsword,
Luo Changfeng stood on a specially crafted spiritual sword.
He silently watched the distance, speaking softly to Hei Yu on his shoulder.
Hei Yu still cocked its head,
turning around somewhat adorably and gazing quietly at its master, Luo Changfeng.
Those pupils of purple and gold flashed with a clear yet foolish expression.
Who knows what this creature is thinking right now.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
"We should also speed up a bit and head back..."
Luo Changfeng murmured softly,
then he began to actively circulate the gigantic Qi-Blood Force within his body, tinged with a trace of Spiritual Power.
After that, he slowly infused it into the specially crafted spiritual sword.
And as the spiritual sword absorbed the enormous Qi-Blood Force from Luo Changfeng's body,
its speed abruptly,
increased by at least three or four times with a whooshing sound.
Of course, with the increase in speed,
the consumption of spirit stones and the Qi-Blood Force within Luo Changfeng's body also grew substantially.
Fortunately, the distance between White Lotus Prefecture and Luo Mountain Prefecture was not too far.
For cultivators at the Mortal Transcendence Realm, it wasn't considered too far.
So even if the force of their Qi-Blood accelerated in consumption,
he could easily sustain until he reached Luo Mountain Prefecture, Qingshi City, where the Luo Family Ancestral Land was located.
...
Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Within an ancient courtyard exuding mysterious auras,
under a simple Stone Pavilion,
at this moment, Luo Changfeng was sitting tranquilly upon a stone stool.
Black Feather silently perched on his shoulder,
cocking its head, its amethyst eyes radiating a clear yet foolish aura.
No one knew what Black Feather was thinking at that time.
After Luo Changfeng had been silently contemplating for quite a while,
he finally slowly picked up a cup of tea from the stone table.
Apparently, due to the passage of time, the tea which should have been steaming hot had already cooled down.
"Within the White Brahma Temple, monks at the initial stage of Mortal Transcendence,
"and also, those strange sights within White Lotus Prefecture"
Even though he had been back for a while,
Luo Changfeng was still pondering everything he had recently witnessed within White Lotus Prefecture.
The floating White Brahma Lotus roots within White Lotus Prefecture weren't too bad,
but those that seemed to root at the back of human heads, as if treating humans like livestock to be reared, were a cause for Luo Changfeng to slightly frown.
He considered himself not a good person,
but he didn't see himself as an extremely vile one either.
The actions he took had always been as he pleased,
Doing what was beneficial to him,
and avoiding what wasn't.
However, things like the White Brahma Lotus, which required the sacrifice of countless lives for its own growth,
filled his heart with a sense of rising disgust.
Of course, disgust was one aspect,
more importantly, the second aspect was that the White Brahma Temple, along with the White Brahma Lotus, were located within the Da Feng Dynasty.
Even if he wouldn't encounter it at the present stage,
as time elapsed, the Luo Family would naturally cross paths with the White Lotus Prefecture and White Brahma Temple, leading to friction and conflict.
Therefore, under various considerations,
that culminated in Luo Changfeng's disdain for the White Brahma Temple within White Lotus Prefecture.
"These matters are indeed troublesome..."
"The Great Flame Dynasty, already entangled in the struggles of Da Feng Dynasty.
"The White Brahma Temple, which also has cultivators at the Mortal Transcendence Realm.
"The Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty, with at least a few thousand years of history, its depth unfathomable."
"Looking at this, the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture, soon to become a puppet of the Great Flame Dynasty, seems like the easiest to deal with..."
While thinking,
Luo Changfeng couldn't help shaking his head in resignation.
He then stopped contemplating these complex issues,
and simply sat alone under the Stone Pavilion,
silently sensing the passage of time and the changes of the world,
while sipping the tea that was bitter with a hint of sweetness.
Only at such peaceful moments did Luo Changfeng feel most relaxed and at ease.
Just as Luo Changfeng was slightly closing his eyes, enjoying the stillness of the moment,
a young man in black, radiating an aura of coldness,
known by the codename "Abyss," suddenly appeared beside him.
Bowing slightly with a very respectful demeanor, Abyss whispered, "Master, Luo Ze has come out..."
The voice of Abyss echoed slowly under the Stone Pavilion, which wasn't very large.
After a moment, Luo Changfeng opened his eyes.
He straightened his body and turned his head slightly,
looking at Abyss beside him.
After a brief silence, he asked in a low voice, "Luo Ze, that youngster, he has come out?"
Luo Changfeng seemed somewhat incredulous.
But his own Shadow Guards
never deceived him, and they never dared to hide even a fraction of truth from him.
So, since Abyss said so,
it must be true.
