In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path-Chapter 1015

The layout of Nether Spring and the Mortal World In an ancient, fragrant, multi-tiered pavilion styled with upturned eaves,

Chen Dengming and Zuo Qiuling sat across from each other in the hall, smiling.

A few clever Foundation Establishment Stage disciples attended them as maidens, serving well-brewed fragrant tea and fruits.

“This is a treasure from the Southern Region’s West Soaring Gate, the West Soaring Phoenix Dew Tea.

Elder Zuo, please!” Chen Dengming introduced it warmly, gesturing an invitation with his hand.

Zuo Qiuling looked pleasantly surprised.

...

He lifted the cup and smelled the aroma, then nodded slightly, “Since coming to the Four Regions, I have extensively studied the characteristics of each Sect.

The Southern Region’s West Soaring Gate was once known throughout the Four Regions for its West Soaring Phoenix Dew Spiritual Tea.

Legend has it that the Sect bred two phoenix-bred luan birds, which, during their annual flight westward, would perch on the spiritual phoenix trees behind the gate and weep continuously.

Their tears, falling upon the phoenix trees, would then infuse the leaves with an unmatched fragrance.

Ground into tea, these leaves became enriched with Spiritual Energy, a rare delicacy of the present age.”

Pausing, he glanced at Chen Dengming with a smile, “Sect Leader Chen is thoughtful.

Please!”

Chen Dengming nodded, took a sip of the tea, and closed his eyes to savor it for a moment, not rushing to reveal his intentions.

Zuo Qiuling knew Chen had something on his mind and was contemplating what that might be.

After a while, the two resumed their conversation.

Chen Dengming reflected,

“This West Soaring Phoenix Dew Tea has now become a relic of the past, since the West Soaring Gate has been destroyed in the war, and whether those luan birds survived remains unknown.

I brought a few pots of West Soaring Phoenix Dew Tea, not wishing to be the sole enjoyer of this discontinued spiritual tea.

Better to share the joy with others than to delight alone,” he said.

Zuo Qiuling replied with a polite smile, “Sect Leader Chen, having tasted this discontinued spiritual tea is already a rare pleasure for me.

You should keep the rest for yourself.

Wouldn’t taking them be stealing another’s joy?”

Chen Dengming gave a faint smile, “To be honest, aside from enjoying the tea, I also wanted to discuss the harm this war has caused to the Four Regions.

Especially for the Southeastern Two Realms, even the Putuo Buddha Monarch of the Southern Region neglected to care for the lives and deaths of cultivators and mortals within his own sect territory, the death toll of cultivators in the Southern Region is, in fact, more severe than in the Eastern Region.”

Zuo Qiuling frowned, “It seems that you have some reservations about the Putuo Buddha Monarch?

Your intentions are…”

“Chen certainly wouldn’t dare to question a Deity Transformation Dao Lord like the Putuo Buddha Monarch,”

Chen Dengming said with a wry smile, shaking his head.

He then got straight to the point, “Elder Zuo, as you know, Elder Dongfang was severely injured in the past by a powerful figure from the Ghost Path.

However, that Ghost Path high person ceased his actions because the Buddha in The World from Island Xumi intervened.

After discussing with Elder Dongfang, I’ve become very curious.

If the Buddha in The World was willing to prevent the Ghost Dao Heavenly Ascendant, then why did the Vajra Potala Sect including Island Xumi choose to stand by idly during the war?

To understand this connection, one must conduct an investigation beneath the Nether Spring.”

Zuo Qiuling’s frown deepened as he looked intently at Chen Dengming, “Is this your opinion, Elder Dongfang’s, or your Ancestor’s?”

Chen Dengming replied with a serene smile, “This is just a personal thought of mine.”

Zuo Qiuling was half convinced.

From what he knew of Chen Dengming, Chen was extremely cautious and stable in his actions, and even when he was aggressive, he had his sureties.

Investigating a potential He Dao expert seemed like an ant investigating an elephant, hardly in Chen’s cautious style.

“Sect Leader Chen, you have to realize that the war has basically ended now.

The interactions between that Ghost Path high person and the Buddha in The World are not something we can inquire into…”

“I understand, but Elder Zuo also knows that not asking doesn’t mean there is no threat.

To clarify the identity of that Ghost Path high person and uncover more potential threats, an in-depth investigation beneath the Nether Spring is necessary to track down any clues…”

Zuo Qiuling took a deep breath and set down his teacup, contemplating deeply.

That mysterious Ghost Path high person was indeed a significant threat and an unstable factor.

The Counterattack Cultivator Alliance hadn’t neglected to record this issue and prepare measures to implement.

However, all the measures seemed feeble and ineffective when facing an adversary capable of inflicting heavy damage upon Dongfang Huayuan.

Therefore, the investigation must rely on one’s own Deity Transformation experts to uncover secrets, and although many shocking secrets had been found, no breakthrough progress had been made.

The suggestion brought up by Chen Dengming was logical.

If one could enter the Nether Spring to trace the Ghost Path high person’s clues, many discoveries could potentially be made.

This was precisely what their own Deity Transformation experts were reluctant to do.

Because the Nether Spring is the world of the dead, a normal Deity Transformation Dao Lord entering it would be like a non-Ghost Path cultivator – as out of place as the Infernal Ghost Monarch arriving in the Mortal World, too dangerous due to the loss of the advantageous terrain.

Apart from the Infernal Ghost Monarch, normal Nascent Soul True Monarchs wouldn’t be willing to go down to such a ghostly place to seek death, so no one thought of investigating the Nether Spring.

“You plan to…”

“I have a friend who is now beneath the Nether Spring, and as you may be aware, Elder Zuo, the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch is currently maintaining a somewhat unsupported transaction with me…”

…

Half an incense stick’s time later.

Chen Dengming and Zuo Qiuling emerged from the pavilion, both guest and host full of cheer, and departed surrounded by a retinue of Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators, touring the Multitude Immortal City.

For a time, they attracted many of the city’s cultivators who came to observe the grandeur of the Fighting Longevity Monarch.

True Monarchs of Nascent Soul were often elusive, traveling at heights near the Linggang Wind Layer, so it was indeed rare for Qi Cultivation practitioners and even Foundation Establishment cultivators to see them.
