The Longevity Sect's Cyan-Yellow Transition! The Terrifying Spectacle of the Outer Domain Faction

The autumn wind was bleak, and the sky above the Border Town was gloomy. Dark clouds, like black bears, slowly approached the sun under the force of the gale. With a sudden roar, they swallowed up every last bit of sunlight.

The once vast Border Town outpost was now reduced to nothing but the shimmering light of the Formation.

Chen Dengming rushed back, and even from a distance, he felt himself being locked onto by the massive crossbow carts on the city wall, each a third-tier Law Treasure. He felt a sharp, piercing pain throughout his body, as if he were being pierced through.

He pointed his finger, and an identity token flew out, shooting out a beam of light that revealed a Cyan Light character for 'longevity'.

The threat of being locked on vanished instantly.

The beam of light from the token enveloped his figure, and Swift as the Wind and Lightning sped through the Formation barrier, creating ripples as he entered the city.

"It's Chen Bai, the leader of the Longevity Sect. Conspicuous during the day, outstanding at night, with a handsome face and a Senior Chen of otherworldly grace!"

"Such a powerful aura! No wonder he's known for his astonishing combat strength, a fighting prodigy rarely seen in the Longevity Sect in recent years!"

"It's said that he already possesses the strength to break through to the Nascent Soul, but he's temporarily suppressing his cultivation. Apparently, this is because he hasn't been the sect leader for very long."

"That's right. According to the rules of the Longevity Sect, once the current sect leader advances to the Nascent Soul, he will step down and pass the position to the Longevity Dao Child."

If Longevity Dao Child has not yet been selected, then an elders' assembly must be convened to pass the position to a suitable elder. Currently, the Longevity Sect has not yet produced a new Dao Child."

As Chen Dengming flew overhead, he heard the discussions below and was slightly taken aback.

These gossipy cultivators seem to know more about the Longevity Sect than he does.

To be honest, he hadn't really thought about the matter of a new Daoist Dao Child for the sect, and had even always regarded himself as the Dao Child and sect leader of the Longevity Sect.

Neither Su Yan Yan nor their senior uncles mentioned establishing another Dao Child.

Only now, reminded by these gossiping passersby, did Chen Dengming realize that he had been the sect leader for over twenty years.

He'll be forming his Nascent Soul in about ten years; shouldn't it be time to find a new Daoist Dao Child for the sect?

After much thought, Chen Dengming suddenly realized that the Longevity Sect was now facing a period of decline and lack of capable successors.

In the past, the fastest person to become the sect leader in the Longevity Sect Dao Child Uncle Jiang.

But even then, Su Yan Yan already possessed unparalleled talent, making her selection as Dao Child uncontroversial, and she swept aside her peers.

Su Yan Yan served as a Daoist Dao Child for over eighty years before becoming the sect leader. A dozen years later, Ai Yunliang, who was at the height of his fame at the time, was selected as Dao Child.

Unfortunately, both of these later Dao Child died before they could fully mature, and it wasn't until Xing Huiguang became Dao Child that the situation gradually stabilized.

Now, in his generation, the Longevity Sect is facing the awkward situation of having no one to take over.

Ultimately, this was also due to the sudden outbreak of war, which prevented a relatively peaceful environment from nurturing talent.

Secondly, suitable talents such as Hua Zhenyu have all gone missing or disappeared due to unforeseen circumstances.

"Back then, Hua Zhenyu, Tan Siyan, Hu Yan Shunbin, and Rao Ling were also running for the Longevity Seed award with me."

Thinking of this, Chen Dengming remembered that he still owed Tan Siyan a favor.

During the election campaign, the opposing side encouraged their supporters to vote for them.

However, Tan Siyan had been traveling the world for over a decade in preparation for breaking through to the Golden Core stage, and there had been no news of him since. Hu Yan Shunbin and Rao Ling were in a much worse situation.

"Hua Zhenyu was already preparing to Forming Core back then. If his uncles and aunts were still alive after becoming sect leaders, they should also have reached the Golden Core stage. I wonder where they are now? Could they have all perished on that exploratory path?"

Chen Dengming couldn't help but think of Hua Zhenyu, his formidable competitor in the Longevity Seed competition.

At that time, the other party even advised him to withdraw from the election, promising to fully support and recommend him as Longevity Seed in the next election.

Now, in the next generation, the other party has disappeared... This truly reflects the Longevity Sect's motto: 'With life comes everything; live long and you'll have everything; don't live long and you'll have nothing; the survivor is king.'

Among the younger generation today, apart from his wife He Yingyu, who has entered the Golden Core stage and is absolutely qualified and has the potential to be a candidate, there are no other people who are outstanding enough.

At this moment, inside the wartime meeting room of the Border Town stronghold.

Zuo Qiu Ling, an elder of the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance, was receiving the Venerable One sent by Sumeru Island when he spoke solemnly.

"Venerable One, there is a saying in your Buddhist Sect: Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

Now that these Outer Domain Evil Cultivators have invaded, you have heard of and witnessed the killing and slaughter they have caused.

"If your Sumeru Island could intervene, and persuade the Buddha Venerable Putuo of the Vajra Putuo Gate to join in, it would surely expedite the end of this invasion from beyond the realm, restore order to our Four Seas Four Regions, allow mortals to live and work in peace, and let cultivators practice in peace. This would save countless lives and build countless pagodas."

The Counterattack Cultivator Alliance, formed by the cultivation sects of the four seas and four regions, is currently in a bad situation.

Although a considerable amount of lost territory in the Eastern Region has now been recovered.

However, these lost territories were actually just deliberately given away by the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator, who knew they were powerless to defend too much land.

This led to a series of victories in the early counterattacks led by the powerful disciples of various Dao Child, with almost no effort required.

However, in reality, after the Evil Cultivator from the outer regions abandoned most of their territory in the Eastern Region and tightened their defenses, the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance fell into a stalemate as it continued its advance from the east to the west, north, and south.

Faced with Zuo Qiu Ling's request, the Venerable of Sumeru Island remained solemn and dignified. After putting his hands together in a Buddhist prayer, he said with a kind and benevolent expression, "Benefactor Zuoqiu, it is not that Sumeru Island is unwilling to save all living beings, but that living beings are unwilling to save themselves. Saving them would only incite more bloodshed."

"This humble monk has come here on the instructions of the Living Buddha Venerable, to advise my fellow cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Alliance to cease their actions as soon as possible and refrain from further bloodshed. Amitabha!"

Upon hearing this, the other Nascent Soul in the room who were listening in all changed color.

To everyone's surprise, such absurd words came from the mouth of the highly respected Venerable of Sumeru Island.

Moreover, it seems that this was instructed by Living Buddha, which is even more chilling than having one's defenses breached by the enemy.

Zuo Qiu Ling's face turned ugly, and she could no longer restrain herself. She sneered, "Ridiculous, ridiculous! Don't you understand the principle that Sumeru Island is located in the four seas, and that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold?"

Are you perhaps emulating the Vajra Putuo Gate, standing idly by while the four regions fall, in exchange for your own safety and other benefits? Or is it that the Buddha Venerable Putuo has received instructions from your own Living Buddha Venerable Sumeru?

A moment of silence fell over the room.

The Venerable One remained unmoved, his eyelids slightly lowered, and he said calmly, "Amitabha! Using killing to stop killing is killing, not saving. Our Sumeru Island will not intervene in the counterattack. Please understand, Benefactor Zuoqiu."

Zuo Qiu Ling was so angry that he laughed instead, then turned and stood up, effectively dismissing him.

Su Yan Yan, who was sitting and listening, sighed inwardly. Such an attitude from Sumeru Island would probably be a huge blow to the higher-ups of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance.

But since things have come to this point, it seems the only option is to give up.

The Living Buddha Venerable on Sumeru Island had long since seen through the illusions of the world, entered the Buddhist order, and refused to leave, not appearing in the world again for thousands of years.

There were long-standing rumors that he had attained the Dao, and cultivators from all over the world vaguely believed that his strength ranked first in the four seas. However, he was not a cultivator after all, and he himself never cared about these empty titles, so he never officially recognized them.

Regardless of whether they are officially recognized, the awe-inspiring presence of these "Dao Integration Great Power" remains. As long as Sumeru Island remains neutral, no one in the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance can force these monks to emerge into the world.

After seeing off the Venerable One of Sumeru Island.

Zuo Qiu Ling quickly arranged other matters, then looked at Su Yan Yan and Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Shu Sword Pavilion, and bowed.

"You two fellow Daoists have also seen the attitude of Sumeru Island. It seems that only if the Spirit Transformation Elders of both sides unite as one can break the deadlock."

Zuoqiu has already informed our Spirit Transformation elders of Sumeru Island's stance. Yongxin Sword Lord and Senior Qu are on their way.

He paused, gazed at Su Yan Yan, and said solemnly, "Next, we will likely need to ask your sect Sect Leader Chen, for help."

Su Yan Yan frowned slightly. Although she had been notified in advance before coming, she still couldn't help but feel worried now that it had come to this point, and asked.

Will Senior Qu be going on this mission?

Zuo Qiu Ling nodded, glanced at the other two, and said, "Of course, otherwise Senior Qu wouldn't have been on his way here."

Su Yan Yan felt relieved.

With Qu Shenzong, the number one expert in the four regions, protecting him on his way to rescue Dongfang Huayuan, Chen Dengming's safety was assured.

However, this was not something that could be agreed to immediately. Su Yan Yan pondered for a moment and said, "The sect leader is already on his way back. I will ask for his opinion again."

Zuo Qiu Ling's eyes flashed, and he smiled faintly with his hands behind his back, "Fellow Daoist Su, if Sect Leader Chen has any requests, please feel free to make them to me. As long as it is within our power, the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance will try its best to fulfill them."

This was precisely the time to sell at a good price, and Zuo Qiu Ling was not an incapable person of adaptability.

Anyway, he wasn't the one who provided the necessary supplies. He was happy to take advantage of the alliance's generosity and sell it to others, which was perfectly legal.

Having witnessed Chen Dengming's quick wit and resourcefulness in handling the Dragon Spirit Island matter, he knew that this Sect Leader Chen was a remarkable person, worthy of being befriended.

"In that case, on behalf of my sect leader, I would like to express my gratitude to Elder Zuoqiu!"

A rare smile appeared on Su Yan Yan's pretty face as she nodded in agreement.

It's not easy for Four Regions Cultivators to gain benefits from the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance; they often have to make even greater sacrifices.

Now is the time for Chen Dengming to sacrifice his safety, so naturally he wants to try his best to gain more benefits.

There's no need to be polite with the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance. By attacking and reclaiming the lost territories of the Four Regions, the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance can also gain many benefits, even new territories and resources. Otherwise, many sects in the Four Seas Cultivation World wouldn't be so proactive.

After a cup of tea.

In a charming three-story building with a small bridge and flowing water, Chen Dengming and Su Yan Yan, who had returned to their base, sat facing each other around a table, discussing the confidential plan that was about to be executed with serious expressions.

"I didn't expect the time to execute this plan to come so soon. It seems that the defenses of the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator in the other unconquered territories are very tight."

Chen Dengming stared at the tea in the teacup, then looked at Su Yan Yan and said.

Su Yan Yan, "Don't underestimate these outside cultivators. Their infiltration ability is extremely strong, especially the Devil Palace lineage at the head. If the Demon Lord were to take action personally, they could even turn Nascent Soul Cultivator against him."

A dozen or so days ago, I, along with your Uncle Jiang, Uncle Fu, and another Nascent Soul cultivator from the Sword Branch Pavilion, took a shortcut deep into the Southern Region to investigate the situation of the Evil Cultivator camp there.

Unexpectedly, the shortcut that was supposed to be a top secret was actually ambushed by the Evil Cultivator beforehand.

"The four of us were ambushed by seven Nascent Soul Evil Cultivators, which caused us to suffer heavy losses and scatter. So far, only you, Uncle Jiang, have been able to contact me; the other two are still out of contact."

Chen Dengming changed slightly. "Even a top-secret shortcut could be discovered and ambushed in advance. It seems there's a high-ranking traitor within the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance."

Su Yan Yan stared intently at Chen Dengming for a moment and said, "It's good that you know. Because of this, the counterattack has almost come to a standstill."

"To quell external threats, we must first secure internal stability. However, we also need stronger support to break the deadlock, and Dongfang Huayuan is a suitable candidate."

Chen Dengming understood immediately and said with a wry smile, "Could there be a bait in this plan?"

Su Yan Yan shook her head. "I don't know either. In short, it's not an exaggeration to prepare for the worst and do your best to ensure your safety."

She paused, then added, "By the way, Elder Zuoqiu said that if you need anything else, just ask, and the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance will try its best to meet your needs, within reasonable limits. This is an opportunity!"

Chen Dengming was taken aback, a warmth spreading through his heart. He put down his teacup and said, "Thank you, Uncle-Master, for securing this opportunity for me."

Su Yan Yan tossed her hair, unconcerned. "This is what you deserve, so don't be polite with me. You have about seven or eight days to prepare, so hurry up and think about it."

"Um!"

Chen Dengming nodded solemnly.

Then, Su Yan Yan gave Chen Dengming a document detailing the forces of the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator.

Chen Dengming originally intended to discuss the matter of establishing a new Dao Child with Su Yan Yan.

However, bringing up such a matter at this time felt somewhat like making funeral arrangements, which was considered unlucky, so Chen Dengming temporarily suppressed the thought.

Since none of my senior uncles have mentioned it, they probably have other plans. We should discuss this issue with Martial Aunt Su another time.

Su Yan Yan drifted away.

Chen Dengming immediately focused his attention on reading the messages in the Jade Slip.

Knowing yourself and your enemy, even if it doesn't guarantee victory in every battle, can at least help you avoid many risks in advance and make adequate preparations.

"The forces of the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator cultivators are numerous."

Among them, the Devilish Immortal Way Devil Palace, which devours other sects to strengthen itself, is the most prominent.

The Outer Realm Devil Venerable is the strongest being to appear from beyond the realm this time. He is suspected to be at the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage, approaching the Dao Integration stage. He cannot descend directly in his true form, but can only descend through the Devil Fetus and the Myriad Demon Blood Sacrifice Array that is being set up.

Beneath the Devil Palace, there are four auxiliary paths: Heartless, Ruthless, Destroying Emotion, and Indulging in Emotion, each with its own powerful Devilish Son.

There are also the Three Saints Palace. The Law Sage Palace is for normal cultivators, the Gu Sage Palace is for Gu cultivators, and the Body Sage Palace is mainly for Body Cultivation.

In addition to these, there are also mysterious and powerful forces such as the Blood Fiend Hall and the Heaven and Earth Sword Hall.

Chen Dengming quickly scanned the information in the Jade Slip and gasped.

The lineup of the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator is still quite formidable.

According to the intelligence gathered so far, there are eight Nascent Spirit Transformation among the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator. This does not include forces in the four realms such as the Heavenly Devil Sect, the Mochao Kingdom, the Five Elements Sword Sect, and the Frost Shuangxue Body Sect, which have already submitted to the outside world. These are all forces with Spirit Transformation cultivators in charge.

A rough calculation shows that the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator' camp has twelve Nascent Spirit Transformation experts alone.

Today, the Ten Thousand Mile Frontier region of the Eastern Region, near the Mingyun Mountain Range of the Southern Region, is occupied by the Blood Fiend Palace.

The Blood God, the master of the Blood Fiend Palace, possesses terrifying power. He spreads the Blood God faith far and wide, and has already turned a large part of the Southern Region into his own incense-burning kingdom.

The Counterattack Cultivator Alliance is currently facing difficulties in completely conquering the Eastern Region, and it would be even more difficult to invade the Southern Region.

To save Dongfang Huayuan, in addition to dealing with the Blood God, they also have to face the threat of Heavenly Crystal Dao Lord, who has suppressed Dongfang Huayuan years.

"It is rumored that the Heavenly Crystal Dao Lord's Frost and Snow Sacred Body can transform into a hundred-zhang-tall ice crystal giant, and its Physical Body power is astonishing. I wonder how it compares to Dongfang Huayuan's Humanity Killing God Body?"

Compared to my Ancient Human Immortal Physique, I am indeed still a little kid.

Chen Dengming silently compared the two situations in his mind, shook his head, but did not feel inferior.

After all, he is only at the Golden Core Perfection stage at present. In the future, after obtaining more Human Immortal Way Power and improving his cultivation, he may be able to compete with these big shots.

Whether it was due to the indomitable will of the Human Immortal Physique, Chen Dengming felt that he could occasionally muster some fighting spirit.

However, while his fighting spirit was strong, it only fueled his desire to train hard and catch up, but it didn't lead him to do anything reckless or cause trouble.

After putting away the Jade Slip, Chen Dengming dared not be careless. He immediately took out several Storage Bag, laid out his brush and calligraphy, and began to think about what he needed next.

The Four Seas Cultivation Alliance rarely acts so generously, and if he didn't go and buy some goods, he would be letting down his beautiful Martial Uncle who had fought for this opportunity.

"The Ruyi Treasure Armor... I haven't yet figured out a way to increase its size to eighteen zhang without reducing its defensive power. Perhaps we could ask the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance if they have any good protective armor."

"The Hurricane Battle Saber was damaged last time, and although it's been repaired now, it's still of a lower grade. I at least have some Nascent Soul Power now, so I'll exchange it! I'll exchange it for a fourth-tier Treasure Blade!"

"My Law Treasure are too limited. The Heart-Illuminating Mirror of Shattering Delusions is outdated. I'd like some special ancient artifacts for controlling and trapping enemies. It would be even better if I had some powerful treasures."

"And my beautiful junior uncle's Cold Jade Ice Crystal Bed is damaged; I hope you can fix it for me."

"When I'm out on a mission, I can't possibly not take time to cultivate, right? Even if I don't cultivate, I still need to rest. As the sect leader, I'm particular about my bed, so repairing my uncle's precious bed is perfectly reasonable and not an exorbitant request."

"Also, the Heart Mending Pill and the Zhuang Shen Dan are indispensable, and it would be best to take one of the Life Returning Pill from last time as well."

Chen Dengming racked his brains, scribbling on the paper like a large intestine with a brush, and soon compiled a list of many necessary items.

After reviewing the draft, he was satisfied and began to input the item information into the Jade Slip.

Zuo Qiu Ling opened the mouth.

He also made the request.

Now it all depends on the sincerity of the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance.

This is a rare opportunity, and it only comes once. If you miss it, you'll never have another chance. Don't bother being polite to Elder Zuoqiu.
