In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path-Chapter 976

Chapter 976: 391: Out of nothing comes friendship!

Chivalry and immortality, we cultivators_3 Chapter 976: 391: Out of nothing comes friendship!

Chivalry and immortality, we cultivators_3 This is the image of cultivators he had always imagined in the past, the innate impression of cultivators that he had after transmigrating, the generous warriors who would say, “Why should we cultivators hesitate to fight for our cause?” and the chivalrous kind, who would wield swords to subdue demons and protect the world.

Rather than the utterly selfish beings, those who looked down on mortals, the bullies who exploited the weak, and even those who captured the weak and cruelly amputated their limbs for forced labor, as he first saw when he entered the Cultivation World.

“If the Cultivation World were all filled with such chivalry and heroism, even if invaders from beyond would strike again, how could there be so many traitors?”

Chen Dengming turned to Mi Changzai and said with a hearty laugh.

Upon hearing this, Mi Changzai’s heart trembled, and he turned his head to look at Chen Dengming.

Suddenly, he felt for the first time that this young Sect Leader, much younger than himself, exuded an air of leadership and breadth of vision that he had never seen before.

...

This kind of demeanor and vision, he had only seen in a handful of Sect Masters of great sects, among which Qu Shenzong was the most profound.

It seemed that at this moment, after experiencing a life-and-death battle in which the sect was destroyed and then saved, the Sect Leader of the Longevity Sect had truly grown into a qualified leader with a great spirit and vision.

…

In the southern part of the Eastern Region, atop the ruins of the branch city of Multitude Immortal City, a new Immortal City had been rebuilt in just six days with the efforts of the remnants of the Artifact Sect.

The newly built Immortal City was even more majestic, symbolizing rebirth from the ashes, and it accommodated many survivors from after the battle as well as cultivators from the Four Oceans and Four Regions who had rushed over from all directions.

Zuo Qiuling and several high-ranking members of the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance flew to the pinnacle of the Immortal City.

Under the gaze of the public, they reported the valiant resistance of the Longevity Sect and many cultivators of Multitude Immortal City against the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators, followed by the casualty list, which aroused many cultivators’ uproar, indignation, and panic.

However, as the news that the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators had been repelled and the Great Curtain Passage had been destroyed was announced, the spread of panic was swiftly contained before it could even begin, and many cultivators gradually shifted from sorrow to joy, beginning to cheer.

The Great Curtain Passage had always been the greatest threat to the Four Oceans and Four Regions.

Because beyond the curtain lay another realm, where it was suspected that there were several Great Masters with Hegemony Capability like the Outer Domain Devil Lord, and perhaps even stronger entities.

Although the developments of these years showed that these Great Masters, including the Outer Domain Devil Lord, could not directly enter the Four Regions.

It seemed that once they did enter, they would face intense suppression similar to that experienced by ordinary cultivators entering places like Cursed Land found in Nanxun, carrying great risks.

Yet no one could be sure whether the deterrent against these Outer Realm Great Masters would suddenly disappear one day.

Just like the Devil Lord from beyond, who could sacrificially immerse a million cultivators in blood, establish the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Sacrifice Dao Domain in various places within the Four Regions, and cultivate a Flesh and Blood Demon Embryo to allow the true strength of his essence to enter the Four Regions.

As long as such risks of possibility exist, there can be no peace of mind.

Not to mention that the destruction of the Great Curtain Passage also prevented more Outer Realm Evil Cultivators from entering the Four Regions, effectively cutting off their escape routes and reinforcements.

Therefore, when the news of the destruction of the Great Curtain Passage spread, it shook the Four Oceans and Four Regions profoundly, and its impact exceeded the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance’s recovery of lands in the Eastern Region.

…

Several days later.

During the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance’s commendation and reward ceremony, the Longevity Sect, as the primary target of the Outer Domain Devil Lord’s led invasion, had contributed greatly.

However, the sacrifices of the One Ancestor and Two Ancestors of the Longevity Sect were tragic and irrevocable losses.

No mater how many enemy cultivators from different realms Chen Dengming, the Sect Leader of the Longevity Sect, killed, he could not reverse this loss.

Nevertheless, the amazing combat strength, resilience and spirit of sacrifice demonstrated by the Longevity Sect in this battle completely overturned the fixed perceptions of most cultivators in the Four Oceans and Four Regions about Longevity Sect, earning the respect of many Sect cultivators.

Meanwhile, Chen Dengming was supervising the repair of the Mountain Protection Array and rebuilding the sect’s gates, while refining the Nascent Soul of the Passion Palace Master into Soul Arrows, and also awaiting the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance’s commendations and rewards.

By the third day, he had turned the Nascent Soul late-stage master of the Passion Palace into a Soul Arrow, acquiring both the primary and deputy masters of Passion Palace as twin Soul Arrows, thus adding another powerful technique to his arsenal.

It wasn’t until the ninth day that he finally received the myriad of Merit Points assigned to him by the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance.

Some of these points had already been exchanged for precious materials and treasures.

A Spirit Boat laden with materials, escorted personally by members of the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance, arrived to demonstrate the preciousness of the materials and the respect towards the Longevity Sect.

“Senior Chen, here is the Merit Ledger, it has recorded the overall merits for the Longevity Sect as well as yours and Senior Su’s.

It also includes those for Senior Fu and Senior Jiang.”

“As per your instructions, Senior Jiang’s share has been temporarily held back, while Senior Fu’s merits have been exchanged for Array Plates and other materials for the Heavenly Gang Azure Sky Array.”

“As for the materials you required, they have also been exchanged and delivered, with the sole exception of your request for a high-level craftmaster to repair a fifth-stage magic treasure; this has been temporarily unfulfilled due to lack of personnel.

Please be understanding, Senior.”

Before Chen Dengming, a Golden Core cultivator tasked with transporting the materials, reported with utmost respect.

“Alright, offload the materials then,” Chen Dengming said.

Chen Dengming himself transferred his Divine Sense into the jade token to formally acknowledge receipt and then asked in puzzlement.

“You mentioned a shortage of personnel?

Does that mean the Cultivator Alliance has some major operation underway?”

A grandmaster who could repair a fifth-stage magic treasure would have to be at least at the late stage of Nascent Soul, if not at the stage of completion.

Such level grandmasters used to be few and far between in the Four Regions, only present among Sect Masters and Elders of the Artifact Sect.

In the Four Oceans as well, only a few from the Eight-Armed Immortal Sect and the Spirit Object Sect, beyond the means of even the Six Eyebrows True Monarch.

Without wanting to owe favors, the only way for him to request a grandmaster craftmaster to repair the Giant Deer Robe was to spend Merit Points and utilize the relations of the Cultivator Alliance to hire one.

The Golden Core cultivator was taken aback but soon made a polite bow and said, “Senior Chen, indeed, the Cultivator Alliance has been engaging in a major operation, which is not a secret.

The main focus has been on the strategic hunting plan for the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the evil cultivator factions, which is severely understaffed.

Therefore, even the seldom active grandmaster craftmasters have been assigned tasks and have joined the hunting teams.”

“I see…”

Chen Dengming nodded slightly and, after some casual conversation with the other party, completed the personal handover of this batch of valuable Sect materials.

From the current situation, he understood.

The Counterattack Cultivator Alliance, perhaps taking into account the hardship and loss suffered by his Longevity Sect lately, had not assigned any tasks related to the strategic hunting plan to his sect.

After all, only Nascent Soul True Monarchs had the capability to participate in such hunting missions.

And now, the Longevity Sect’s Nascent Souls only consisted of him, Su Yanyan, and Xing Huiguang.

Recently, he had been occupied with personal matters and the construction of the sect, thereby unaware of the movements and plans of the Cultivator Alliance.

However, he had anticipated the hunting affair beforehand, so its commencement did not surprise him.

But from what it looked like now, it seemed that the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance had already clarified the specific conditions of that mysterious powerhouse who cultivated both Buddhist and ghostly paths.

It must have been determined there was no threat before initiating the hunting plan.

“How did they get to the bottom of it?

Could it be that they sought out the counsel of that World Buddha Lord on Island Xumi?”
