The encounter with the Minor Dragon was still fresh in Lu Chen's memory. The Minor Dragon was merely a projection of the Divine Dragon's Hideout, as the Divine Dragon's Hideout was at the first level of the Void Immortal realm and possessed a single projection. In reality, the Divine Dragon and its abilities were far beyond that; they were much more formidable.
However, Lu Chen had now reached a similar level, standing on equal footing with the Divine Dragon's Hideout. If a real battle were to occur, fought to the death, it would be difficult to predict the outcome. It would depend on whose divine powers were greater; life and death would be determined by him, not by others.
Back then, Lu Chen faced the Divine Dragon's Hideout about five years ago. Now that five years had passed, it was possible that the Divine Dragon's Hideout had also advanced in its realm, but Lu Chen himself did not know for sure. Advancing in realm is not something that can be easily achieved; it is not so simple. Not everyone possesses Lu Chen's immense fortune and exceptional talent.
Lu Chen's cultivation method was different from others. While most people secluded themselves from the world and practiced in solitude, Lu Chen was different. He had long resided amidst luxury and chaos, leading to a different perspective on his environment and circumstances. As long as he could convince himself of something, once that matter was resolved, he could quickly gain an increase in cultivation—much faster than ordinary people.
Now, Lu Chen had reached the Virtual Immortal First Level. When he appeared before everyone, they were all astonished, including the Treasure Guardian Beast and Yuanmo Laozu, who found it hard to believe how rapidly Lu Chen's realm had increased.
Lu Chen's extraordinary talent and his rapid advancement in realm seemed unbelievable to them.
Of course, Lu Chen did not feel the need to explain this to Yuanmo Laozu and others because it was unnecessary. They were all fellow practitioners; excessive explanations served no purpose. Maintaining an air of mystery could actually be beneficial.
After Lu Chen emerged for the second time, he received replies from Chu Mang and Huangfu Yi. These letters were originally written to form a Three-Way Alliance to jointly march against the Great Zhou Dynasty and combat its tyranny. Now, after more than half a month, he finally received their responses.
In their letters, Chu Mang and Huangfu Yi expressed their agreement to form such an alliance to jointly fight against the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As for the alliance itself, it was essentially just that—a matter of shared interests. Although they were allies, it was merely a matter of having a common stance against their greatest enemy: the Great Zhou Dynasty. Any personal grievances among them needed to be set aside for now.
Lu Chen aimed to build this alliance to strengthen his authority and demonstrate his determination to completely annihilate the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, this was only part of his intention; what he cared about more was dealing with the Eastern Shaolin Temple behind the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In fact, confronting the Great Zhou Dynasty meant confronting the Eastern Shaolin Temple—a force of immense strength that supported the Great Zhou Dynasty.
By forming this alliance, Lu Chen could unite with large sects like Star Gate and Yin Yang Gate to collectively confront the Eastern Shaolin Temple. Only in this way would they have a greater chance of success against Abbot Zuyin of Eastern Shaolin, who was extremely powerful.
Before the Corpse Transformation, Su Wutong had already encountered Lu Chen. Grandmaster Zu Yin of the Shaolin Temple is a highly regarded expert, proficient in both spiritual and physical cultivation. His profound skills are unfathomable and beyond the imagination of ordinary people; however, Lu Chen has not had the opportunity to experience this firsthand.
If an alliance is formed, Lu Chen can confidently leave the matters of warfare to Sun Zizhao, Lian Dashuang, and some generals within the Daiwa Dynasty, who have trained many capable commanders skilled in Military Strategy.
This way, Lu Chen can free himself to focus on dealing with those extraordinary experts outside the realm. Since its establishment, the Daiwa Dynasty has already made numerous enemies from beyond the ordinary world. Their adversaries are not limited to these dynasties and nations; the true and most formidable enemies are those individuals known in folklore as transcendent beings. These figures represent the backbone of power.
Lu Chen's second retreat was driven by his eagerness to enhance his cultivation, with the ultimate goal of being able to confront these individuals.
Among these individuals are entities like Star Gate and Yin Yang Gate, as well as the Four Ancestors of the Daoist Sect, and Yenando from the Eastern Shaolin Temple and Western Amitabha Sacred Land. These figures must be approached with caution; although they may currently be allies, they will inevitably become foes in the future.
After reading the handwritten replies from Chu Mang and Huangfu Yi, Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction. The situation unfolded as he wished; this was the best outcome. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Chu Mang, directly invited him to gather at Jianzhou in the Western Seven States for a meeting.
The letter stated: "We sincerely invite Marshal Lu Chen to gather at Jianzhou to discuss important matters."
The mention of discussing significant matters was merely a surface-level statement; in reality, they surely wanted to witness his prowess and meet this rising star who once served under them in Han Wangfu. After all, during their response to the Great Zhou Court's sanctions, they had followed the path of the Daiwa Dynasty, essentially walking in Lu Chen's footsteps. Thus, they have always been curious about him.
Naturally, Lu Chen intended to meet Chu Mang upon receiving his invitation. He smiled mysteriously and prepared to find a suitable time for it.
At this moment, having just emerged from his retreat, it was only fitting that Sun Zizhao hosted a banquet in the palace to honor Lu Chen.
The banquet served two purposes: one was to celebrate Lu Chen's emergence from seclusion, while the other was to welcome Yuanmo Laozu. Now that Yuanmo Laozu had arrived from Wasteland Continent to assist Lu Chen, he was also helping Sun Zizhao; hence Sun Zizhao personally received him.
In addition to his own arrival, Yuanmo Laozu brought along thousands of Ape Demons, an absolutely formidable force that provided a visual feast for all present.
In the following hours, as Lu Chen was preparing to personally visit the Western Seven States, a special guest arrived in Baiyang City of the Daiwa Dynasty during the night.
Lu Chen was in seclusion at the Marquis's Residence, his energy surging and his aura strong. However, at that moment, an unfamiliar presence suddenly entered the city, probing around as if to provoke him. Lu Chen immediately opened his eyes, his brow furrowing tightly.
The Divine Sense came unexpectedly and with a certain mystery. Lu Chen quickly realized that it was neither the Treasure Guardian Beast nor Yuanmo Laozu; it originated from outside, possibly with some ulterior motive.
At this time, Lu Chen had already allied with Korea and the Great Qi Dynasty to form a coalition army against the Great Zhou Court.
The appearance of this situation now seemed very mysterious and elusive. Without hesitation, Lu Chen unleashed a fierce aura that shattered a window, manifesting his true form as an Electric Python, shooting out like a spark.
The scene was left in disarray due to the suddenness of the event. As the Grand Marshal, Lu Chen had to ensure the safety of Baiyang City.
Especially concerning Sun Zizhao in the palace, there could be no mistakes. Lu Chen would not let any situation that threatened Baiyang City's safety slip by easily. The shattering of a window in his Marquis's Residence had frightened all the servants.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Chen had reached outside the city, deep within a dense forest. The mysterious Divine Sense he sensed earlier came from here.
Standing among the dense trees under the bright night sky, moonlight filtered through the treetops and scattered downwards. Lu Chen stood on a bed of dry leaves, motionless. In reality, his Divine Sense had already been released, frantically scanning everything without missing any trace.
He could even count how many ants were in each cave ten miles away. He detected a presence lingering within ten miles, moving rapidly as if trying to evade Lu Chen's capture.
However, this presence was definitely not the one Lu Chen had locked onto in the city; yet it bore some resemblance.
At that moment, a sharp aura charged towards him as if attempting to assassinate Lu Chen.
However, when that aura struck in front of Lu Chen, it had already missed its target. In the next moment, Lu Chen was standing on a treetop.
"Divine Eagle Trio, the three disciples of the Western Divine Eagle King, known as the three unparalleled masters. What brings you to me?"
Lu Chen spoke slowly into the void. He had heard of the Divine Eagle Trio from the Western Regions before, but he never expected they would come to the Central Plains and seek him out. What exactly was unfolding here?
At the spot where Lu Chen had just stood, a shadow had already pounced down to the ground in an eagle-like attack, but it had missed, failing to strike Lu Chen. Although these three were formidable, they could not do anything to Lu Chen.
Before taking action, Lu Chen wanted to inquire about their motives. Why were they looking for him? Otherwise, he could have easily countered and eliminated the one who attempted to ambush him without even blinking.
However, the Divine Eagle Trio had always been inseparable; now only two appeared. Their actions were indeed strange—one went to scout Baiyang City to draw him out while another lingered ten miles away to distract his attention.
If the one scouting Baiyang City and the one attempting to ambush him were the same person, then where was the third?
It was important to note that Lu Chen did not need to worry about Baiyang City at this moment because there were the Treasure Guardian Beast and Yuanmo Laozu stationed there. Even if Essence was gone, they would not fare well; any attempt against Sun Zizhao or Baiyang City would be futile.
"Even the Divine Eagle Trio cannot handle you, Lu Chen. Just how far has your cultivation reached?" A girl's voice came through, clear and crisp, as if it could pierce through one's ears—very pleasant to hear.
