Chapter 775: Chapter 482: Independent Practitioner Alliance! Mad Demon Scroll!

Luo the Madman had his own measure in mind. He smiled at ’Qin Yu’ and said, "No matter what, I owe Brother Qin a favor. In the future, if there’s any command, as long as it doesn’t go against righteousness, I, Luo, will not hesitate to plunge into boiling water or walk through flame for you!"

Sss!

Everyone was envious!

Of course, they didn’t think Luo the Madman broke through to the sixth rank because of the martial arts lecture by ’Qin Yu’, a first-rank divine general; they felt it was just a coincidence.

But Luo the Madman’s sense of righteousness was unparalleled.

Even if it was a stroke of fortune, he was willing to make a promise to ’Qin Yu’. Many people understood Luo the Madman’s character and knew the weight of this promise.

A promise from a sixth-rank divine general!

Heavily significant!

Extraordinary.

Everyone was envious.

But Luo the Madman wasn’t finished: "I also want to thank the friend who shares the same name as me. Without today’s martial exchange, I wouldn’t know in which future I would breakthrough to the sixth rank. I also owe this friend a favor, feel free to command me in the future."

Luo the Madman cupped his hands in the air to express thanks.

This time, thanking ’Luo Feng’.

But this was purely ’verbal thanks’.

Would that ’Luo Feng’ show up now to claim his identity?

Who would believe!

Seeing Luo the Madman achieve the sixth rank, now everyone might be regretful beyond measure.

Here.

Luo the Madman wasn’t finished yet. He looked around and spoke aloud: "I believe today’s ’Sitting and Discussing’ gathering here is very necessary. It holds significant guidance for the cultivation and communication among us independent divine generals. As for Brother Qin’s martial arts lecture, I think it was extremely well done and profound. I hope everyone present comprehends and deeply understands it. After returning, spread Brother Qin’s martial arts spirit to more independent divine generals to know and understand. We need to unite, wealth, partner, technique, and environment, wealth, technique, environment we lack, but ’partner’ should not be missing. Borrowing today’s occasion, I want to say, such ’Sitting and Discussing’, such ’Martial Arts Lecture’, we need to host, discuss, and share more. Today I broke through to the sixth rank, tomorrow it could be you, him, more people, everyone!"

...

Luo the Madman was thoughtful.

Seizing the opportunity of the martial exchange at the Wind Snow Mountain Temple and his breakthrough to the sixth rank, Luo the Madman intended to establish the ’Mountain God Temple Martial Exchange’ and ’Independent Gathering’ on a long-term and regular basis.

This was undoubtedly beneficial!

For independent cultivators, it was all gain and no loss.

In the past, due to trust issues, conflicts, and various reasons, basically, no one was able to integrate the independent divine generals, or even simply gather them.

But this time.

First, there was the mysterious ’Luo Feng’ who unexpectedly summoned people at the auction.

Then, Luo the Madman ’Luo Feng’ broke through the sixth rank and rallied the public.

All favorable conditions of time, geography, and human harmony!

All were present.

With Luo the Madman spearheading and proposing, the prototype of the ’Mountain God Temple Independent Cultivator Alliance’ naturally took shape.

The one taking the lead—

Sixth rank, Luo Feng!

...

"Brother Qin, let me introduce you." Luo the Madman pulled Yan Chuan along, introducing, "Peng Ying, Lin Geng, Huo Jian, Ling Yi, these four are well-known independent masters in the Jinze Region, all fifth-rank divine generals. Such an opportunity is rare, with me taking the lead and these four helping, the framework of the independent alliance is considered to be preliminarily established."

Luo the Madman looked at Yan Chuan: "Brother Qin’s martial lecture was thorough, and our newly formed alliance needs to gather public sentiment and popularity. I’d like to invite Brother Qin to serve as an elder in the alliance, frequently lecturing martial arts for the time being. What do you think, Brother Qin?"

That would be wonderful!

Yan Chuan never expected Luo the Madman’s initiative to be so strong. One moment he broke through the sixth rank, and the next moment he had already laid the foundation for the ’Independent Practitioners Alliance’.

Truly a capable person!

Yan Chuan was naturally willing to accept Luo the Madman’s invitation.

Today, over a hundred divine generals had gathered in the Wind Snow Mountain Temple, and most were inclined to join Luo the Madman’s ’Independent Alliance’.

Afterwards.

In public, Luo the Madman would be the face of the ’Independent Alliance’.

While Yan Chuan, behind the scenes, would use Luo the Madman’s platform to quietly lecture on martial arts and cultivate.

The current feedback from over a hundred divine generals was already substantial for Yan Chuan.

In the future—

"Two hundred!"

"Three hundred!"

"Even four hundred, five hundred!"

How many independent divine generals were there in the Jinze Region in total? 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Not tens of thousands, but there were a few thousand.

If Luo the Madman’s ’Independent Alliance’ could gather these independent divine generals, and Yan Chuan lectured, with hundreds of divine generals attending, the benefits for Yan Chuan would be immense.

At that time—

Heavenly Ladder City.

In the Tan Valley Realm.

Independent Alliance.

Yan Chuan would have three places to lecture martial arts, equating to three experience pools, providing endless feedback for Yan Chuan’s continuous growth in martial arts.

This was great news.

Yan Chuan was, of course, willing!

...

"It’s getting better and better."

"Indeed, the harder one works, the luckier one gets."

Yan Chuan was in high spirits.

This time speaking at Mountain God Temple, although Luo the Madman gained the most, Yan Chuan felt no jealousy because his gains were also significant—

[Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar: Eighth Realm Peak (60)]

After ’Holy Fire Order Divine Skill’ and ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’, ’Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar’ became Yan Chuan’s third advanced skill in the late stage of the eighth realm during this martial lecture, reaching the third fifth-rank absolute skill.

A considerable breakthrough.

Besides—

[Ladder Cloud Jump: Eighth Realm Peak (30)]

[Shadowy Charm: Eighth Realm Peak (30)]

[Nine Yin Scripture: Eighth Realm Peak (30)]

[Six Meridian Divine Sword: Eighth Realm Peak (30)]

Over a hundred independent divine generals, who had never exchanged ideas before, listened to Yan Chuan’s martial lecture outside the Mountain God Temple, all fresh and many feedbacks, pushing ’Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar’ to the late stage of the eighth realm, while also causing four other absolute skills to breakthrough, reaching the mid-stage of the eighth realm, achieving fourth-rank absolute skills.

Though other absolute skills did not achieve qualitative breakthroughs, they all improved somewhat.

The most notable were ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ and ’Holy Fire Order Divine Skill’—

[Wave Riding Micro Steps: Eighth Realm Peak (72)]

[Holy Fire Order Divine Skill: Eighth Realm Peak (88)]

...

’Holy Fire Order Divine Skill’ first broke through to the eighth realm, then to mid-stage, then late-stage, and now it seemed it might be the first to reach the eighth realm peak.

Just a step away!

...

The independent alliance was preliminarily established.

Within the Mountain God Temple.

As everyone dispersed, Luo the Madman left Yan Chuan alone, "Brother Qin helped me reach the sixth rank; I can’t just consider it settled with a single promise."

He took out a scroll of silk from his bosom, stretching it out to be about twelve meters long, filled with chaotic patterns and lines that made one’s head spin with just one glance.

Quite peculiar!

Yan Chuan dared not look any longer.

"I call it the ’Mad Demon Scroll’, which I coincidentally obtained during my innate Dao proof. By pondering it daily, I’ve successively realized six sets of saber techniques — ’Thunderclap’, ’Sky-tearing’, ’Ghost Shadow’, ’Seven Absolute’, ’Residual Dream’, and ’Mad Demon’, mastering the realms, achieving sixth rank."

Yan Chuan was surprised.

He had just lectured martial arts and received feedback from Luo the Madman, knowing he practiced ’Mad Demon Saber Technique’. Yan Chuan had also appropriated a lot, including ’Thunderclap’ and ’Sky-tearing’; he had thought these were moves within ’Mad Demon Saber Technique’, not realizing each was a complete saber technique, all derived from this ’Mad Demon Scroll’.

And now, Luo the Madman wanted to give this ’Mad Demon Scroll’ to him?

"Thank you, Brother Luo!" Yan Chuan accepted it without hesitation. A treasure that could let one comprehend absolute skills and understand realms was a supreme treasure. Consider that not long ago, at the Feiyu Trading House auction, a seventh-rank divine weapon fetched over 5000 primordial pills. The value of this ’Mad Demon Scroll’ that made Luo the Madman was certainly higher!

However, Yan Chuan’s martial lecture, "Mutual Teaching and Learning", further helped Luo the Madman grasp the elusive ’Mad Demon Realm’, successfully advancing him to the sixth rank. Yan Chuan believed the value of his martial lecture was equally immeasurable.

Just a ’Mad Demon Scroll’, perfectly acceptable.

"Haha, Brother Qin is straightforward!" Luo the Madman laughed heartily. He had expected that ’Qin Yu’ would refuse multiple times, but Yan Chuan didn’t follow the norm, which Luo masked with laughter, then said: "’Mad Demon Scroll’ confounds the mind; those lacking strong will should not look too much. This treasure was no longer of use in honing my will, creating absolute skills, and understanding realms once I comprehended ’Mad Demon’. Without the ’Mad Demon Scroll’s’ guidance, becoming a sixth rank was initially difficult; whether I could achieve it in this life was unknown. Brother Qin’s aid in helping me cross the last-minute goal was crucial; I hope this ’Mad Demon Scroll’ will be helpful to you."

Public promise.

Private treasure gifting.

Luo the Madman was truly considerate.

"Thank you, Brother Luo." Yan Chuan thanked again, storing the scroll. His heart was delighted: "I have fourth-level ’Derivation Skill’, which allows gaining corresponding inspiration from certain traces, objects, or environments. Luo the Madman could comprehend six saber techniques directly to the sixth rank from the ’Mad Demon Scroll’; with ’Derivation Skill’, I definitely can as well, and time will be shorter, inspirations more plentiful."

Fourth-level ’Derivation Skill’!

Finally of great use now!

...

"Luo the Madman reached the sixth rank?"

In Five Blessings City, Zhonghang Lu raised her head. At this moment, she seemed to be underground. The vast underground space was bright, with countless intricate patterns weaving along the walls, ground, and ceiling, and many round and square pillars standing within.

Most people should not know that not only did Five Blessings City have arrays arranged by Zhonghang Lu on the surface and city walls, but even more complex ones underground.

Zhonghang Lu took a short rest, listening to her subordinates’ reports on the auction, Mountain God Temple, and Luo the Madman among many details, finally smiling: "Establishing an independent alliance in Danhu Realm isn’t easy; it’s seemingly not a sect, but actually, it is. Any sect appearance would be strictly suppressed by the Thirteen Royal Families in Danhu Realm."

Why so?

Take a look at Hunxi Territory —

Where Four Families and Three Sects coexist, the talents emerging from independent practitioners were virtually all absorbed by the Three Sects or even Beast King City; the Four Families could offer more incentives, paying more, but still fell short of the Three Sects in talent acquisition.
