Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood-Chapter 765 - 370 The Aura of Mortal Transcendence Realm_2

"Just like the three Great Millennium Families within the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family,"

"Do you, boy, really think that the existence of our cultivator family power, which has been here for over a thousand years, has relied solely on luck and the family's bets every step of the way?"

"No, no, no, our cultivator family power has been able to survive and develop on this land for such a long time."

"What we rely on, apart from our own comprehensive strength being solid, is another very important reason."

"That is, we never readily involve ourselves in the whirlpool of disputes."

"In the past, it was so."

"Now... it remains the same."

As the elder spoke, he lay back comfortably in the recliner beneath him.

Even, he slowly closed his eyes.

In his hand was a battered wooden fan, from whence it came unknown.

He shook it leisurely, while comfortably enjoying the rare peace of the moment.

"Not taking sides?"

"Just like the three Great Millennium Families within the territory of the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family?"

"If it truly were so, in the end..."

"Would we not be subject to a final reckoning by the last victor?"

Yan Yin narrowed his eyes slightly.

He murmured softly,

seeming to question himself,

and yet, it seemed he was seeking an answer from the elder before him.

"A final reckoning?"

The elder, who was half-reclining in his chair with even his eyes now closed,

couldn't help but laugh upon hearing these words.

Indeed, this world operates on the survival of the fittest, the strongest prevailing.

Might is right, and that is an eternal and unchanging law of this world.

As for everything else...

It all unfolds from this base principle.

Beyond this, the people or cultivator powers on this land also value the word "benefit."

If the benefit is there, it's not just about his Yan Family.

Even if it were three to five, or even ten Yan Families together.

In the end, they naturally cannot escape death.

But if, annihilating his Yan Family would bring no benefit, and even result in a loss instead...

Those who wish to act against the Yan Family will naturally give it thorough consideration.

This world is cold, and it is also cruel.

To be able to survive on this Xuanyuan Continent, and moreover to become a powerful cultivator,

well, hardly anyone is foolish.

Why bother going through the trouble to eliminate a troublesome family power that poses a certain danger and brings no benefit to oneself?

In fact, it might even lead to a loss.

"Old ancestor, what are you laughing at?"

Within the room,

Yan Yin, who was the Young Family Head of the Yan Family, looked at the ancestor in front of him who had suddenly laughed.

He couldn't help but ask out loud.

Following Yan Yin's voice, the laughter of the elder gradually subsided.

"I laugh, simply because your thoughts are a bit too..."

"Complex."

"In this world, the strong are revered, and the weak cannot even control their own lives."

"These things are true."

"But at the same time, this world is filled with the concept of benefit, nearly everything about people and events can be explained by this concept."

"The final victor indeed has the power to settle scores with families like ours that do not exert effort."

"But even the final reckoning must take into account the concept of benefit."

"With benefits at stake, even if the final victor doesn't settle scores with us, others will covet our Yan Family and act against us."

"But if there are no benefits to be had..."

"And moreover, acting against our Yan Family would even result in a loss."

"Then, under those circumstances."

"Do you think the final victor would still target our Yan Family?"

Yan Yin listened to these words.

He couldn't help but fall silent.

After thinking for a long time, he silently shook his head.

However, other than shaking his head, he said nothing.

Shaking his head meant that he did not know.

The elder in the room, seeing Yan Yin's expression, naturally understood what was on Yan Yin's mind.

Nevertheless, regarding this…

The elder did not continue to speak.

Some things, saying more is of no use.

On the contrary, it can make people feel quite annoyed.

So rather than talking too much, it's better to let someone understand on their own.

If they comprehend it, then it's an achievement.

If they can't, there's nothing that can be done.

...

Far from Tianyin City.

It had been about five days since the Yan Family's Young Family Head from Tianyin City had discussed matters with his family's old ancestor.

And at this very moment, Yan Yin, the Yan Family's Young Family Head from Tianyin City, had already been standing in silence on the city's ramparts for five days.

His brows were often furrowed.

His heart was full of doubts.

The words of the old ancestor were not false.

Indeed, most things and people in this world can be linked to interests.

Just like whether the victors would settle accounts with families of cultivators like theirs afterward.

This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

Indeed, it also relates to interests.

But to say that everything is connected to interests,

Yan Yin did not fully believe in this argument.

The Xuanyuan Continent is vast, and many things within it are full of uncertainties.

Just like the situation with his Yan Family,

and the three Great Millennium Families within the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family's territory.

Their fates, too, were subject to many variables.

If just like what his family's old ancestor had thought,

these families of cultivators could avoid disaster and tribulation by not taking sides or joining the whirlpool of conflict, as they had done for decades, or even centuries,

over and over,

the same method of staying neutral might spare them their own disasters.

But this time...

Yan Yin always felt something was different.

Qingshi City Luo Family...

Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family...

White Brahma Temple within White Lotus Prefecture...

Of course, there was also the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect, whose presence didn't feel very prominent, yet its comprehensive strength was just as terrifying.

The existence of these powers proved that countless variables were at play.

Past history might demonstrate that not taking sides and not entering the whirlpool of conflict

was the way for these families of cultivators to survive.

But it didn't mean...

that whenever they encountered problems, these families could always use the same method to avoid such tribulations.

"Huh..."

Atop the city walls of Tianyin City,

Yan Yin, the Young Family Head of the Yan Family, took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave,

suddenly, in the far distance outside Tianyin City,

where he could barely see,

the sky underwent a great change.

Just a moment ago, the sky had been clear, but in the next moment...

the sky suddenly turned dark and gloomy.

At the same time as the change in the sky,

a mightily powerful, terrifying, and anxiety-inducing aura

suddenly began to spread from a distant location, expanding in all directions.

Even Yan Yin, standing atop the city walls of Tianyin City,

could faintly feel the shock of that aura, and the resistance it brought, immobilizing him, making him afraid to breathe... almost forgetting how to breathe.

"What exactly is that?"

On the city walls of Tianyin City, Yan Yin looked towards the source of the aura,

his brows involuntarily knitting tighter.

The look in his eyes shifted from the initial fear and unease to extreme caution.

"Mortal Transcendence?"

After another moment of silence,

two words emerged in Yan Yin's mind.

However, he wasn't unfamiliar with the Mortal Transcendence Realm.

His family's old ancestor possessed cultivation at the Mortal Transcendence Initial Stage.

But his old ancestor's aura had never been this terrifying...
