The autumn wind was bleak, and the sky above the border town was dark. The black bear-like dark clouds were driven by the strong wind and slowly approached the sun. With a fierce roar, they swallowed up the sunshine completely.
In the huge border city stronghold, only the sparkling light of the formation was left in an instant.
Chen Dengming galloped back, and from a distance away, he felt that he was being locked by the huge ballistae at the level of third-level magic weapons on the top of the city. There was a sharp and painful feeling in many parts of his body, as if he was about to be penetrated.
He moved his hand, and an identity token flew out, shooting out a beam of light, and a green word "Longevity" appeared.
In an instant, the threat of being locked away disappeared.
The beam of light flying out from the token enveloped his figure, and with lightning speed, it created a circle of ripples on the formation barrier and entered the city.
"It's Chen Bai, the head of the Longevity Sect. Senior Chen, who is striking during the day and outstanding at night, has a handsome appearance and an immortal spirit!"
"What a strong aura! He is indeed said to have amazing combat power. He is a combat genius that has been rarely seen in the longevity sect for many years!"
"It is said that he has already broken through the Nascent Soul's strength, but has only temporarily suppressed his cultivation. It is said that it is because he became the leader for too short a time."
"Yes, according to the rules of Changshou Sect, once the current head is promoted to Nascent Soul, he will step down and pass the throne to Changshou Daozi.
If the Taoist disciple of Changshou has not yet been selected, the position needs to be passed on to the appropriate elders after convening an elders meeting. Currently, there is no new Taoist disciple in the Changshou Sect. "
Chen Dengming flew through the air and was slightly shocked when he heard the discussion below.
How come these gossipy monks feel they know the longevity sect better than he does.
Speaking of which, he really didn't think about the sect's new Taoist disciple, and even regarded himself as the Taoist disciple and head of the Changshou Sect.
Su Yanyan and other master uncles have never mentioned establishing another Taoist disciple.
Now being reminded by these commenting passers-by, Chen Dengming realized that he had been the leader for more than 20 years.
The baby will be born in ten years at most. Isn't it time to look for a new disciple for the sect?
After thinking about it in his mind, Chen Dengming suddenly discovered that the Changshou Sect now seemed a little out of touch.
In the past, the fastest person in Changshou Sect from selecting a Taoist disciple to becoming the leader was Master Jiang.
But at that time, Su Yanyan was already extremely qualified, and there was no dispute over her selection as the Daozi, sweeping the ranks.
Su Yanyan became the Taoist Master after more than eighty years. After more than ten years, Ai Yunliang, who was in the limelight at the time, was elected as the Taoist Master.
It is a pity that the two later Taoists died in the middle before they could grow up. It was not until Xing Huiguang became a Taoist that the situation gradually stabilized.
Now in his generation, the Changshou Sect is once again faced with the embarrassing situation of having no one to take over.
Ultimately, this was also due to the sudden outbreak of war, which resulted in the lack of a relatively comfortable environment to cultivate talents.
Secondly, suitable talents such as Hua Zhenyu have disappeared due to accidents.
"The people who ran for longevity with me back then were Hua Zhenyu, Tan Siyan, Huyan Shunbin and Rao Ling."
Chen Dengming thought of this and remembered that he still owed Tan Siyan a favor.
During the election voting period, the other party encouraged supporters to vote for him.
However, Tan Siyan traveled around the world more than ten years ago because he was preparing to break through the golden elixir, and there has been no news so far. Huyan Shunbin and Rao Ling are even worse.
"Hua Zhenyu had already prepared to forge the elixir back then. If his uncle Cheng Sect Master was still safe, he should also have the golden elixir. I wonder where he is now. Could it be that he has really perished in that path of discovery? ?."
Chen Dengming couldn't help but think of Hua Zhenyu, his strong competitor in the longevity race.
At that time, the other party also advised him to withdraw from the election, and fully supported and recommended him to be a longevity candidate in the next term.
As a result, now that it's the next term, the other party has disappeared... This really reflects the longevity sect's purpose of spreading the sect: 'If you have a life, you have everything. If you live a long time, you have everything; if you don't live long, it will be in vain; the one who remains is king.' .
Among the young generation today, except for his wife He Yingyu who has entered the Golden Elixir and definitely has the qualifications and potential to be a candidate, there is no one else who is outstanding enough.
At this time, in the wartime meeting room of the border town stronghold.
Zuo Qiu Ling, the elder of the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance, was receiving the Venerable sent by Xumi Island with a serious expression.
"Honorable Sir, there is a saying among your Buddhists that it is better to save one life than to build a seven-level pagoda.
Now that these evil cultivators from outside the territory have invaded, you have heard and witnessed the massacres they have caused.
If you, Sumeru Island, can take action and at the same time persuade the Putuo Buddha of the Vajra Putuo Sect to take action together, you will be able to quickly end this invasion from outside the territory, restore order to our four seas and four regions, and allow mortals to live and work in peace and contentment, and monks to practice with peace of mind. This is I have saved countless lives and built countless levels of pagodas."
Nowadays, the counterattack monk alliance formed by the Four Seas and Four Realm Cultivation Sects is not in good condition.
Although a lot of lost land in the Eastern Region has been recovered.
However, these lost territories were actually just the result of the evil cultivators from outside the territory knowing that they were unable to hold on to too much territory and chose to give it away deliberately.
This also resulted in the early counterattacks led by the strong Taoist disciples of various sects receiving successive successes, with almost no effort being expended.
However, in reality, the evil cultivators from the Outer Territory gave up most of their territory in the Eastern Territory and tightened their defenses, causing the counterattack monk alliance to fall into a stalemate as they continued to advance from east to south, southwest, and north.
Facing Zuoqiu Ling's request, the Venerable Xumi Island still looked solemn. After clasping his hands together and saying the Buddha's name, he said with kind eyes, "Donor Zuoqiu, it's not that Xumi Island doesn't want to save the common people. But the people are unwilling to save themselves, and saving them will only cause more killings.
This poor monk came here to receive the spiritual instructions from the living Buddha, and also to instruct fellow Taoists in the Immortal Cultivation Alliance to stop early and not to encourage more evil, Amitabha! "
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other Nascent Souls in the room changed.
I never expected that such ridiculous words would actually come from the mouth of the revered Master Xumi Island.
Moreover, it seems that it was actually inspired by the living Buddha. This is simply more chilling than being defeated by the enemy.
Zuo Qiuling's face was ugly, and he couldn't restrain himself, and sneered, "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, is it possible that your Xumi Island is not located in the middle of the four seas, and you don't understand the meaning of lips dying and teeth cold?
Do you want to follow the example of the Vajra Putuo Sect and stand by while the Four Realms fall, in exchange for your own safety and other benefits? Or is it that Putuo Buddha received instructions from your living Buddha Sumeru? "
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
The Venerable was unmoved, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said calmly, "Amitabha! Stop killing with killing, killing rather than saving. We at Sumeru Island will not intervene in the counterattack. Please calm down and understand, Zuoqiu Donor."
Zuo Qiu Ling laughed angrily and stood up, giving an order to expel the guests.
Su Yanyan, who was sitting and listening, sighed inwardly. Xumi Dao's attitude would probably have a huge impact on the top leaders of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance.
But now that the matter has come to this, I'm afraid we have no choice but to give up.
The living Buddha on Sumeru Island had already seen through the world of mortals, joined Buddhism and refused to come out, and has not been born again for thousands of years.
There have long been rumors that he has merged with the Tao, and monks all over the world vaguely believe that his strength ranks first in the world. However, after all, he is not a cultivator, and he himself has never cared about these false names, and has never corrected his name.
But regardless of whether the name is corrected or not, the shock of the 'Hedao Power' is there. Xumi Island must remain neutral. No one in the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance can force the birth of this group of monks.
After seeing off the Venerable Sumeru Island.
Zuo Qiuling quickly arranged some other matters, then looked at Su Yanyan and Mo Xiangtian, the ancestor of Yuan Ying of Shu Jiang Pavilion, and bowed with his fists.
"The two fellow Taoists have also seen Xumi Island's attitude. Now it seems that only you and I, the god-forming veterans, can break the deadlock by uniting as one.
Zuoqiu has just informed us, Elder Fang Huashen, about the attitude of Xumi Island, and Sword Lord Yongxin and Senior Qu are already on their way."
He paused for a moment, stared at Su Yanyan, and said solemnly, "Next, I will probably invite you, the head of Zong Chen."
Su Yanyan frowned slightly. Although she had been notified in advance before coming, she still felt worried now that it had come to this point and asked.
"Will Senior Action Song go there this time?"
Zuo Qiuling nodded, looked around at the other two people, and said, "This is natural, otherwise Senior Qu wouldn't be on his way here."
Su Yanyan felt relieved.
With Qu Shenzong, the number one man in the Four Realms, escorting him to rescue Dongfang Huayuan, Chen Dengming was safe.
However, this kind of thing cannot be agreed immediately. Su Yanyan said thoughtfully, "The leader is already on his way back. I will ask his opinion again."
Zuo Qiuling's eyes flashed, he put his hands behind his back and smiled lightly, "Fellow Daoist Su, if Master Chen has any requests, just ask me. As long as they can be met, our Four Seas Cultivation Alliance will try our best to satisfy them."
At this time, it was also the time to make a good sale. Zuo Qiuling was not a person who could adapt to changes.
Anyway, he didn’t provide the necessary supplies. He was happy to use the alliance’s generosity to sell other people’s goods, and it was completely legal.
Last time he saw Chen Dengming's dexterity and ability in handling the Longling Island matter, he also knew that this leader Chen was a person worth making friends with.
"In that case, I will take charge of my family and thank Elder Zuoqiu first!"
A rare smile appeared on Su Yanyan's pretty face, and she nodded in agreement.
It is not an easy task for the monks of the Four Realms to get benefits from the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance, and they often need to sacrifice more for it.
Now is the time for Chen Dengming to sacrifice his safety, so he naturally wants to try his best to gain as much benefit as possible.
There is no need to be polite with the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance. By regaining the lost territory in the four regions, the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance can also gain many benefits and even new territory resources. Otherwise, many sects in the Four Seas Cultivation World will not be so active.
After a cup of tea.
In a three-story building with a small bridge and flowing water and pleasant scenery, Chen Dengming and Su Yanyan, who had returned to their base, sat across the table, looking serious as they discussed the secret plan that was about to be implemented.
"I didn't expect that the time to implement this plan would come so soon. It seems that in other unconquered areas, the defense lines of the evil cultivators outside the territory have been very tight."
Chen Dengming stared at the tea in the teacup and then looked at Su Yanyan.
Su Yanyan said, "Don't underestimate these foreign monks. Their penetration ability is extremely strong, especially the Demon Palace lineage at the head. If the Demon Lord takes action personally, he can even instigate the Yuanying monks to rebel.
Ten days ago, I took a shortcut with you, Uncle Jiang, Uncle Fu, and another Daoist Yuan Ying from Fenjian Pavilion to go deep into the Southern Territory, preparing to investigate the situation of the evil cultivators there.
Unexpectedly, the shortcut that was supposed to be top-secret was actually ambushed by evil cultivators in advance.
The four of us were attacked by seven Nascent Soul Evil Cultivators, and we suffered heavy losses and were separated. So far, only you, Uncle Jiang, have made contact with me, and the other two are still out of touch. "
Chen Dengming's expression changed slightly, "Top-secret shortcuts can actually be discovered and set up in advance. It seems that there are high-level spies in the Counterattack Monk Alliance."
Su Yanyan looked deeply at Chen Dengming and said, "It's good that you know. Because of this, the counterattack process has almost come to a standstill.
To fight against the outside world, we must first settle the internal affairs, but at the same time, we also need stronger help to break the deadlock, and Dongfang Huayuan is a more suitable candidate."
Chen Dengming understood it and said with a wry smile, "Isn't there a bait in this plan?"
Su Yanyan shook her head, "I don't know either. In short, it's not too much to prepare for the worst and try to ensure your own safety."
She paused and then said, "By the way, Elder Zuoqiu said, if you need anything else, just ask, the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance will try its best to satisfy you within a reasonable range. This is an opportunity!"
Chen Dengming was startled and felt a little warm in his heart. He put down his tea cup and said, "Thank you, uncle, for fighting for this opportunity for me."
Su Yanyan flipped her hair and said disapprovingly, "You deserve this too, so there's no need to be polite to me. You have about seven or eight days to prepare, so hurry up and think about it."
"Um!"
Chen Dengming nodded solemnly.
Then, Su Yanyan threw another details about the forces of the evil cultivators outside the territory to Chen Dengming.
Chen Dengming originally wanted to discuss with Su Yanyan about establishing a new Taoist son.
However, bringing up this kind of thing at this time was a bit depressing and unlucky, so Chen Dengming suppressed the thought for the time being.
Since none of the senior uncles mentioned it, there may have been other arrangements. This issue should be discussed with senior uncle Su in the future.
Wait for Su Yanyan to leave.
Chen Dengming immediately concentrated on browsing the messages in the jade slips.
If you know yourself and your enemy, not only can you win a hundred battles, but at least you can avoid many risks in advance and make adequate preparations.
"There are many evil cultivators outside the territory.
Among them, the Demon Palace, which devours other orthodoxy in order to strengthen its own, is especially the leader.
The Demon Lord from the Outer Territory is the strongest person who has appeared outside the Territory this time. It is suspected that the peak of the God Transformation is approaching Hedao. He cannot come directly in his true form. He can only come through the Demon Fetus and the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Sacrifice Formation that is being arranged.
Under the Demon Palace, there are four paths of ruthlessness, ruthlessness, passion-killing, and indulgence respectively, all of which have tyrannical demons.
Others include the Three Saint Palaces. The Fa Saint Palace is for normal monks, the Gu Saint Palace is for Gu cultivators, and the Body Saint Palace is mainly for physical cultivation.
In addition, there are also mysterious and powerful forces such as the Blood Demon Palace and the Heaven and Earth Sword Palace."
Chen Dengming quickly scanned the messages in the jade slip and took a deep breath.
The lineup of the extraterritorial evil cultivator camp is still very scary.
According to current intelligence statistics, among the evil cultivators outside the territory, there are eight incarnations of gods alone. This does not include those from the four domains such as the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Demon Cha Kingdom, the Five Elements Sword Sect, and the Frost and Snow Body Sect who have already surrendered to the outside world. Forces, these are the forces with the god-transforming monks in charge.
A rough calculation shows that there are twelve powerful deity-forming warriors in the camp of extraterrestrial evil cultivators.
Nowadays, the border area of 10,000 miles in the Eastern Territory close to the Mingyun Mountains in the Southern Territory is occupied by the Blood Demon Palace.
The power of the blood god, the master of the Blood Demon Palace, is extremely terrifying. He spreads the belief in the blood god everywhere and has already turned half of the southern region into his own kingdom of incense.
At present, it is difficult to counterattack the Monk Alliance and completely conquer the Eastern Region. It is even more difficult to invade the Southern Region.
If you want to save Dongfang Huayuan, in addition to having to deal with the Blood God, you also have to face the threat of Tianjing Taoist Lord who has suppressed Dongfang Huayuan for many years.
"It is rumored that the Frost and Snow Holy Body of Tianjing Taoist can transform into a hundred-foot ice crystal giant. The power of the physical body is shocking to the world. I wonder what about the human body of the God of Killing that is farther than Dongfang Hua?
Compared to my human-immortal ancient body, I am indeed still quite small now. "
Chen Dengming compared it secretly in his heart and shook his head, but he did not feel inferior.
After all, he is still a perfect Jindan cultivator. In the future, he will gain more human immortal power. After his cultivation is improved, he may not be able to compete with these big guys.
I don't know if it is the influence of the unyielding will of the immortal Taoist body, but Chen Dengming feels that he can occasionally muster some fighting spirit now.
However, fighting spirit only aroused his desire to practice crazily and catch up, but it did not lead him to commit suicide and cause trouble.
After putting away the jade slips, Chen Dengming did not dare to be careless. He immediately took out a few storage bags, laid out his pen and calligraphy, and began to think about what he needed next.
It is rare for the Four Seas Immortal Cultivation Alliance to be generous. If he does not purchase goods, he will be sorry for the opportunity that Master Qiao has fought for.
"Ruyi Treasure Armor. Currently, I haven't figured out a way to make it 18 feet taller without reducing the defense. You can first ask the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance to find out if there is any good treasure armor for body protection."
"The hurricane sword was damaged last time. Although it has been repaired now, it is of a low grade after all. I still have some power of the Nascent Soul now. Change it! Change it to a fourth-level sword!"
"My magic weapon is too single. The old magic weapon that can control the heart and destroy the illusion is out of date. It would be better to have some special ancient magic weapon that can control the enemy and trap it. It would be better if it has a heavy treasure."
"Uncle Qiao's cold jade ice crystal bed is damaged. You'd better fix it for me.
When I go out to perform a mission, there is no way I won’t take time to practice. I have to rest even if I don’t practice. The head of my sect is more comfortable with his bed, so it is reasonable and reasonable to repair the treasured bed of my uncle, and it is not a big deal. "
"There are also Heart-Building Pills and Spirit-Strengthening Pills, which are also indispensable. It is also best to take one of the Resurrection Pills from last time."
Chen Dengming thought hard, writing on the paper like a fat intestine, and quickly made a list of many things he needed.
After reading the draft, he was satisfied and began to enter the item information into the jade slip.
Zuo Qiuling opened the mouth.
He also made the request.
Now it depends on the sincerity of the Sihai Cultivation Alliance.
This rare opportunity only lasts once. If you miss this village and don't have that shop, don't be polite to Elder Zuoqiu.
