"That's right, Penglai."
"Jingxing alone is not enough in the Eastern Region. Go with him and leave Yuanyi behind."
Myriad Longevity Immortal Lord spoke calmly, as though he were discussing some ordinary matter.
Yet Lingfeng True Lord felt ice seep through his entire body. Yangyan Yuanyi True Lord of the Penglai Dao Sect was a veteran Five Calamities True Lord, his cultivation unfathomable. Bright Moon and Jingxing True Lord alone would certainly be unable to hold him back. Even with Lingfeng himself added in, forcibly keeping this Five Calamities True Lord would not be easy.
But now that his Three Flowers had scattered and his Five Qi were lacking, this was the best time for him to consume Pure Yang Qi.
Once he consumed this mouthful of Pure Yang Qi, not only would his cultivation return to its peak, it might even rise another level. Then, keeping Yuanyi True Lord behind would become possible.
As for what would happen to him afterward—
Clearly, that was not within the sect's considerations.
Sacrificing one Pure Yang seed in exchange for a Five Calamities True Lord of the Penglai Dao Sect—was that trade truly worth it?
Seeing Lingfeng True Lord clutch the golden bottle tightly without speaking, Myriad Longevity Immortal Lord's expression softened somewhat. "Do you think, in your current state, you still have any hope of ascending to Pure Yang?"
"In my early years, this old man too had hopes of Pure Yang. Yet for the sake of the sect, did this old man not also sacrifice his Dao path?"
"The sect has nurtured you for nearly eight thousand years. It is time for you to repay the sect."
Lingfeng True Lord nodded at those words. "Lingfeng understands. Please rest assured, Immortal Lord. Lingfeng has never harbored any resentment toward the sect."
