Observing

Changsheng Pavilion.

As one of the only two top-tier forces in the Northern Region, the Changsheng Pavilion is actually stronger than the Wanxing Sword Sect.

Ten thousand years ago, they held an important position in the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect, equivalent to the Pill Pavilion of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect.

Compared to the ostentatious Wanxing Sword Sect, the Changsheng Pavilion is very low-key. It rarely makes enemies with surrounding forces. Even its way of ruling its subordinate forces is through resource monopoly, converting them into pills and Dao artifacts for sale to obtain profits.

This approach is undoubtedly much more moderate compared to forces like the Myriad Star Sword Sect and the Heavenly Fire Sect.

At least the forces below will receive corresponding rewards after handing over various supplies.

Some rewards may even outweigh the gains they would have made by mishandling resources.

Because of its "good guy" image, even though the Longevity Pavilion has more Immortal Lords and Dao Lords, people still consider the two forces to be evenly matched and both to be among the top forces.

At this moment, seven people gathered in the Changsheng Pavilion.

Of these seven people, three disappeared hundreds of years ago, and rumors suggest they have perished.

In particular, one of the elders was Dan Chenzi, the previous Supreme Elder of the Longevity Pavilion, who was an ancient being who had lived for over two thousand years.

He stopped showing himself to the public a thousand years ago. Apart from a very few top figures and his offspring and disciples, even the True Immortal Elders in the Longevity Pavilion did not know of his existence.

However, at this moment, this immortal lord, whose seniority was frighteningly high, sighed, "Talented people emerge in every generation, and new people surpass the old! To defeat the Northern Region Allied Army, which has a Xuanxian, four immortal lords, dozens of Dao Lords and Heavenly Immortals, as well as hundreds of True Immortals and tens of thousands of Void Immortals, with one's own strength, is already considered top-tier in the Xuanxian Realm. And the person with such cultivation is actually a young man who is not even a hundred years old. He is old, he is old."

"Fortunately, the Pavilion Master found him beforehand and established a good relationship. If this trend continues, the war between the Creation Sect and the Mo Family can at least be divided into separate territories. Otherwise... the overlord of the Northern Region might have to be replaced."

Among the group, a young woman dressed in palace attire, looking elegant and noble, spoke with a smile.

She is the Redwood Immortal Master, a master of Dao of Alchemy, whose alchemy skills surpass even those of Dan Chenzi, who is named after "Dan" (alchemy).

I don't think it will work.

At this moment, a Daoist master spoke up.

Zhang Baijie, also known as the Master of the Hundred Tribulations Dao.

Although he was a Dao Master, the eyes of everyone in the room fell on him when he spoke.

Before the Xuanxian Realm went into seclusion and locked itself in the realm, the Hundred Tribulations Dao Lord had traveled to the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty and obtained a great inheritance, which gave birth to the Heavenly Dao of Time, derived from the Great Dao of Time.

However, due to the difficulty in nurturing this Heavenly Dao, it has not yet been perfected, but even the several Immortal Lords dare not underestimate it in the slightest.

"Don't forget, the Mo family has never been an individual. The Lineage are, to some extent, a whole. If the Mo family is in trouble, the other three families cannot stand idly by."

The Hundred Tribulations Dao Master.

"The main reason for the alliance of the Lineage is to fight against the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect. They can work together to fight against the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect, but the Creation Sect is not the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect, and the other families may not be willing to help."

Redwood Immortal Lord Path.

"It is difficult to lend a helping hand, but if the Mohists are willing to pay a price, they may be able to ask other schools to step in."

Tian Qingzi said thoughtfully, "After all, these families can't just stand by and watch the Mo family be destroyed by the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect. If they do, the balance between these Lineage and the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect will inevitably be broken, leading to endless hidden dangers."

Dao Master Bai Jie nodded. "It is still unknown who will emerge victorious, but Jiang Yufeng's ability to achieve this level is truly astonishing."

A strange light flickered in his eyes. "If I'm not mistaken, the inheritance he received is probably quite astonishing."

"He received a divine innate inheritance, the kind of inheritance that even we couldn't cultivate!"

The Redwood Immortal Master shook his head.

"Innate divine inheritance? Can an innate divine being even be born in an environment like our Xuanxian Realm?"

The Lord of a Hundred Tribulations said, "Or perhaps, his true fortuitous opportunity is actually a powerful treasure, or even a wealthy world, capable of giving birth to innate saints?"

Upon hearing this, several people showed signs of interest.

"Perhaps we should deepen our cooperation with the Creation Sect?"

Tian Qingzi said suddenly.

"Let's wait and see, and talk about it after the Mohist war is over."

Dan Chenzi remained quite cautious. "If that Divine Sage Jiang of the Creation Sect can truly withstand the pressure from the Lineage and overpower the Mo family, even if it's just a matter of dividing the territory and governing the Northern Region with the Mo family, our Longevity Pavilion can form a deep alliance with them. But if he can't withstand it..."

"I believe that, regardless of the outcome, now is the best opportunity for Changsheng Pavilion to make its stance clear."

As Tian Qingzi spoke, he involuntarily said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, Jiang Yufeng has been cultivating for less than a hundred years. Even if he fails and the Creation Sect is destroyed, as long as he doesn't die, the Creation Sect will surely make a comeback one day."

His words stirred the interest of Dan Chenzi, Immortal Lord Hongshan, and some Dao Lords.

After a while, Dan Chenzi shook his head. "Forget it, the reason why our Longevity Pavilion has been able to stand until now is because of our caution! Taking sides in advance... is too dangerous."

"But..."

"I know you're trying to say that the greater the risk, the greater the reward, but Changsheng Pavilion has never been looking for instant success."

Dan Chenzi said, "Let's wait."

Tian Qingzi simply nodded in response.

He knew that it was precisely because of this cautiousness that the Changsheng Pavilion had never been able to develop into a true hegemon.

But...

It is precisely because of this caution that the Longevity Pavilion has a longer and more complete history of inheritance than the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect.

However, in many cases, they would even change the name of their sect, or even become subordinate to the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect as its Pill Pavilion, just to ensure their survival.

Survival is the primary concern of the Longevity Pavilion.

Anyway, they're a bunch of people who refine pills and research immortal Cultivation Method, so they're not exactly considered a thorn in the side by any powerful force.

A vast expanse of empty space, thirty thousand miles away from the Mohist school.

Floating atop the vast sea of clouds Gu Jinlai, rising and falling with the rotation of the stellar force field.

He did not travel with Zhang Yukun and the others, but arrived outside the Mo family's residence ahead of time.

After all, he could launch a surprise attack on the cultivators in the Storm Mountains in advance, and the Mo family could also take advantage of his presence in the Storm Mountains to launch a surprise attack on the army that was rushing from the Creation Gate.

The best way is to block the door.

They blocked the entrance to the Mo family's residence.

In this way, if the Mohists were to send experts to launch a sneak attack on the Creation Gate, it would inevitably be discovered by Gu Jinlai.

"An ancient force with a history of tens of thousands of years... No, the Mo family originally belonged to a faction within the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect, just like the Ye family within the Creation Gate. They were a clan force that separated from the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect. Such a force is indeed powerful."

Gu Jinlai did a quick calculation of the lineup of the Northern Alliance of Storm Mountain Range.

Leaving aside other matters, there are five hundred true immortals and tens of thousands of virtual immortals.

This number has exceeded the entire realm of immortality.

Of course, before the Demonic Beasts invaded, the thirty-six grotto-heavens, seventy-two holy lands, plus the scale of the immortal kingdom, might have barely reached this number.

However, all of this power combined is actually only equivalent to half of that in the Northern Region.

In the context of the entire Xuanxian Realm, it would probably only be equivalent to one-tenth of the Xuanxian Realm's power.

This alone demonstrates the power of a world with a cultivation system that has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years.

As a dominant force in the world, the Mohist school has never dared to be negligent, even when Gu Jinlai armies are at the gates of a city.

"Ultimately, my current combat strength is actually less than that of a Five Heavens Mystic Immortal, while the founder of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect was a Great Dao Golden Immortal."

Although Gu Jinlai have always valued their opponents immensely, their expressions remained remarkably calm.

The Mohist school, which inherited its lineage from the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect, has an advantage spanning hundreds of thousands of years. So, how can we erase this advantage that the Mohist school has inherited for hundreds of thousands of years?

His mind was focused on the Green Lotus.

"My power is sufficient; in terms of strength, I have already reached the level of a Fifth Heaven Mystic Immortal, but I cannot fully utilize it, so..."

With a thought, hundreds of clear lights swiftly poured into the Eighteen Heavens Cultivation Method.

Instantly, he felt as if he had traversed mountains and rivers, witnessed the sunrise and sunset, and gazed upon the cosmos, finding inspiration for life in the vast and boundless universe and achieving spiritual sublimation.

Eighteen Heavens: Sixth Heaven Perfection → Seventh Heaven Minor Completion.

"It's not even perfect yet?"

There have been some surprises Gu Jinlai.

But then he realized something.

Zhao Xi himself has only completed the sixth level of cultivation, and now he is probably at most at the minor completion of the seventh level, or even the entry stage. In other words, everything after the seventh level is a theoretical stage.

To complete the cultivation of the next three heavens through some derived theoretical realms, the time and energy required are naturally far greater than those required for the sixth heaven.

"It seems that if we really break through the Mohist school, we need to pay attention to their mental cultivation Cultivation Method in order to better complete the creation of the seventh to ninth heavens. In fact, when I have enough Qingguang, I can use Qingguang to deduce the eighteenth heaven on my own..."

Gu Jinlai slightly circulated the enormous energy fluctuations within his body, which resembled a destructive torrent.

The completion of the seventh level of the Heavenly Realm is not enough for him to manipulate his own power in a meticulous manner.

At best, it only achieves a level of control, preventing one from having enough power but being unable to unleash it.

"To wield the power of a Five Heavens Mystic Immortal to an unparalleled level, one's mental cultivation would probably need to reach the Great Perfection of the Eighth Heaven..."

He glanced at his own Kiyomitsu.

To reach the seventh level of perfection, two hundred more rays of pure light are needed.

To advance from the seventh level of perfection to the eighth level of great accomplishment, it is estimated that it will take around four to five hundred steps.

In this way, it is clear that the two Cultivation Method cannot be mastered simultaneously.

His gaze lingered on the Great Sun Eternal Law and the Eighteen Heavens for a moment, Gu Jinlai quickly made a decision. "Compared to improving my mental state and allowing me to reach the pinnacle of power release, increasing the total amount of energy will obviously be more helpful for the upcoming battle."

With this thought in mind, he poured the remaining thousand rays of clear light into the Great Sun Eternal Law once more.

Terrifying heat and energy fluctuations emanated from his body, causing the surrounding air to distort slightly.

This is because the core of the sun was circulating within his body, releasing a large amount of high temperature.

The Great Sun Eternal Dharma: Perfection of the Fourth Level → Perfection of the Fifth Level.

"That's about right."

The plot seems a bit too formulaic; let's rewrite the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty in a different way.
