Whether It Was True or False Mattered Little; What Mattered Most Was How to Profit
"Little Qin."
Jiang Changqing's figure did not appear, only his voice came out:
"When doing things, you must be down-to-earth; when doing work, you must be single-minded. Do you understand?"
Qin Zhen paused for a moment, pondered for a while, and then tentatively asked:
"But Elder Master, that's the Longevity Battlefield, where it's said that opportunities to achieve immortality may appear."
How can the old master be so calm?!
"Who said you have the chance to live forever?" Jiang Changqing asked in return.
Qin Zhen truthfully recounted the news he had received.
"That's right, very aboveboard."
Jiang Changqing gave a firm affirmation, but then changed the subject:
"But you only see immortality, yet have you realized how precious it is? Such a precious thing, even if kept secret, will attract the world's scramble for it at the slightest sign of trouble."
Why expend so much effort now?
"Even if it truly exists, does the Holy Temple, with its current strength, have enough confidence to contend for it?"
A few words from him immediately made Qin Zhen's heart sink.
He knew it in his heart.
Today's One Brush Saint Hall is no longer what it used to be; it enjoys a prominent reputation both in the Mystic Origin Domain and the Five Continents Domain.
In the path of cultivation, it's always a winner-takes-all situation. If your strength isn't up to par, even if it truly exists, the desire to compete for it...
Disaster!
At this moment, Jiang Changqing sighed:
"The matter of the Patriarch has been entrusted to you. If this matter is delayed, I'm afraid the Patriarch's spirit in heaven will not forgive us."
Qin Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said:
"Understood."
Although the old master had never shown such an attitude before, it was not surprising, given that it concerned a matter of immortality.
However, these words calmed him down.
The chance to achieve immortality is extremely difficult to obtain, and even if one obtains it, it will be a hot potato.
But the lineage of the patriarch is different. Whether it is oneself or one's descendants, as long as one can obtain it, it is legitimate!
What should be done, and what shouldn't be done.
It's actually very clear.
Mystic Origin Domain.
The Devil Defense Pass a massive sword, its surface a dark crimson blood-red, embedded diagonally in the earth. An aura flows around it, and combined with the seemingly endless city walls, it creates an astonishingly oppressive atmosphere.
The Mystic Origin Domain has an extremely strong antagonistic relationship with the Devil Race and the Blood Devil Clan.
The Blood Devil is constantly creating new channels to enter the Mystic Origin Domain.
Countless Human Race cultivators have been reduced to being devoured by the Blood Demon Clan.
The Devil Race invasion is gaining momentum.
Forced to join forces, various factions in the Mystic Origin Domain mobilized their top talents to cultivate and form the Devil Suppression Pass in order to resist and prevent the invasion of the Blood Demon Clan.
Swish, swish, swish.
At this moment, a continuous stream of powerful energy converged from all directions and entered the longsword.
Inside this astonishing giant sword were several separate spaces.
At this moment, at the top of the giant sword, in the most spacious house, beams of light and shadow appeared one after another.
"You should all be clear about the purpose of this gathering."
An old man's voice rang out.
"The Five Continents Domain, the chance for immortality." Someone chuckled softly.
"This is indeed a good thing, but getting involved might not be easy," someone cautioned.
"The latest news is that there are no Land Without Dao in the Five Continents Domain."
Additional audio may be added as needed:
"The idea of a chance to achieve immortality might not be true; it's too abnormal and seems like something done intentionally."
"Maybe it's some old foxes using this as bait to lure people in and kill them. We have someone around here who did something like that not long ago," a voice said.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than another figure in the light said irritably:
"I only killed a few of your talented juniors. They couldn't resist temptation and didn't think things through properly. If you really want to be fair, you should thank me for weeding out the less intelligent juniors for your Qiu Clan."
"Fuck your mother!" the first person shouted, followed closely by:
"Don't let me find your hiding place, or else..."
"Azure Lamp Temple, Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, the largest Buddha statue, come here," the voice interrupted.
"Amitabha Buddha," a powerful figure from the Buddhist Order said.
"Benefactor, please do not speak falsehoods."
"Alright, alright," someone chimed in.
"Everyone's time is precious, and the important matter is at hand."
The topic then returned to its central point.
Whether the chance to achieve immortality is real or not is irrelevant, but there will always be people who believe in it. As long as people are willing to believe, this level of opportunity will inevitably lead to fierce conflict.
"The Five Continents Domain are inevitably going to descend into chaos, and even if they don't want it, it's beyond their control."
"But we shouldn't try to fish in troubled waters; that would only get us into trouble. Instead, we should start from our own Mystic Origin Domain and strive for the greatest benefit."
"As for how to compete, I might offer some preliminary thoughts."
He paused slightly, waiting until everyone's attention was focused enough, before continuing:
"As far as I know, the Five Continents Domain and the territory of the Blood Demon Clan are not completely isolated. In many places, traces of the Blood Devil's invasion have already been discovered."
"That means the Blood Devil is fully capable of entering the Five Continents Domain."
"The chaos in the Five Continents Domain will inevitably lead to disorder and slaughter. The Blood Demon Clan, who feed on Human Race, will certainly not want to miss this opportunity. If given the chance, they will definitely participate. And what we must do is..."
The man's voice was high-pitched, and he gave a meaningful smile.
"Cooperate with the Blood Demon Clan? That's absolutely unacceptable! My Mystic Origin Domain and the Blood Devil Demons are sworn enemies. Countless ancestors sacrificed themselves in the struggle against the Blood Devil. How can we..."
"You're wrong," the person interrupted.
"It's just a pretense of cooperation. We can help them enter the Five Continents Domain on the condition that we don't invade the Mystic Origin Domain. The Blood Demon Clan certainly won't refuse, but they certainly won't abide by it either."
"However, the Five Continents Domain is not weak either. With the Blood Devil's invasion, they certainly won't be without any power to resist."
"We only need to let them fight each other, intervene appropriately, maintain a balance of power, and keep them at a disadvantage until our Mystic Origin Domain can gain the greatest benefit."
What do you all think?
After speaking, the man looked at everyone present.
Amidst the myriad lights and shadows, a strange glint appeared in their eyes.
Chaos surrounding the path to immortality is to be expected.
The Blood Demon Clan's desire to invade the Human Race was predictable.
Combining the two things is indeed an excellent opportunity.
"But if that happens, the Five Continents Domain will likely fall into an incredibly terrible situation, and countless people will inevitably die because of it. Such a thing..." A powerful figure frowned.
Before he could finish speaking, a soft laugh rang out:
"Shi Wuleng, you're being hypocritical. How many people from the Five Continents Domain die, and how many die, has nothing to do with our Mystic Origin Domain. It's all their fate. Saying that makes me wonder how you got to where you are today."
Shi Wuleng, who was being addressed, glanced at the speaker and said calmly:
"It's just a bad feeling about this. If you're going to do it, then go ahead. I won't get involved."
The crowd didn't react much to this.
Then, further discussions ensued regarding this matter.
The final result did not go in the opposite direction.
By using one force to devour another, regardless of whether the opportunity for immortality is real or not, there is always a guarantee of sufficient profits!
