Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 535: Advancing and Retreating with Ease
At this moment, ten miles away.
On top of a certain high mountain.
Four men and a woman, five True Pill Demon Lords, gathered at one spot.
Before long, a blood shadow swept over.
It landed in front of the five, revealing the figure of Blood River Demon Lord from the Blood Spirit Sect.
The female Demon Lord was none other than Wan Meng Demon Lord.
She gave a charming smile, "Fellow Daoist Blood River, how is it?"
Blood River Demon Lord didn’t speak, taking out a Treasure Mirror.
In the mirror was recorded the recent magical combat between Shen Xuan and Zhuo Wuyan. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"So fast?"
Sha Bone Demon Lord from the White Bone Sect couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Fellow Daoist Wan Meng, is he this fast usually?"
Another Demon Lord, with a hint of teasing, asked with a smile.
Wan Meng Demon Lord’s face turned slightly red.
Her relationship with Shen Xuan couldn’t be hidden from these old foxes.
Being from the Hehuan Sect, she didn’t take such matters too seriously.
"Hmm, Fellow Daoist Black Leaf, I will definitely tell Shen Xuan and let him answer you face to face."
"No! It was my mistake, I spoke wrongly, I apologize to Fellow Daoist Wan Meng!"
Black Leaf Demon Lord from the Yin Sha Sect hurriedly admitted his mistake.
He didn’t want to provoke that star of calamity.
Three breaths to freeze Zhuo Wuyan.
With such power, how could he afford to offend him?
"Alright. Stop joking. Everyone, let’s discuss. We all have to report back to the sect."
Sha Bone Demon Lord said in a deep voice.
The other five remained silent.
There was no choice, Sha Bone Demon Lord could only call names.
"Fellow Daoist Blood River, you observed in person, you speak first."
Blood River Demon Lord rolled his peculiar eyes.
"I’m not concerned with others. Anyway, when I see True Master Profound Ice, I’ll avoid him as far as possible."
"Me too."
"Me too."
The other Demon Lords all agreed.
"Fellow Daoist Wan Meng, what about you?"
"Of course, I won’t avoid him. Shen Xuan and I share deep feelings. If he’s willing, I’m willing to bond and marry, flying together."
Wan Meng Demon Lord answered without hesitation.
As soon as she said this, even Sha Bone Demon Lord laughed.
"You’re dreaming!"
"Even if he’s willing, the Cyan Cloud Sect wouldn’t agree!"
"After much difficulty producing a Golden Core prodigy, you make it disappear, how can the Cyan Cloud Sect stand firm!"
Wan Meng Demon Lord retorted, "Fellow Daoist Bone Sha, you’re so uninformed! What do you mean I made it disappear? You don’t know how amazing he is!"
Blood River Demon Lord said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Wan Meng didn’t speak wrongly. True Master Profound Ice’s ice technique is not only profound, but it seems he has comprehended a peculiar spatial divine power, able to instantly tear through space."
"Hiss!"
The Demon Lords inhaled sharply.
"Moreover, as I know, this person is also adept at Thunder Technique and has cultivated an extremely advanced Body Refining Technique. Fellow Daoist Wan Meng, I didn’t speak wrongly, did I?"
Wan Meng Demon Lord smiled elegantly, "You didn’t."
"Unless the Golden Core of Yan Country intervenes, none of the True Pill Five Sects of Yan Country could surely defeat him."
Upon hearing this, silence fell once more.
After a while, someone said, "Golden Core intervening? Not so soon, is it?"
"If it truly is so, then it’s a fight to the death."
"The fellow Daoists speak reasonably. The goal of war is profit, not the annihilation of Sects!"
They all clearly understood in their hearts.
The major sects of Yan and Song Countries are led by Golden Core True Masters.
The true strategic power lies with the sects’ Grand Elders, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
Whether a sect is a major one is determined by whether there is a Nascent Soul True Monarch in the sect or not.
For the six great Demon Sects of Liang Country, each has a Nascent Demon Patriarch.
At least one Tier Four Cultivator is needed to dominate the nations.
"Let’s report the facts to our sects."
Sha Bone Demon Lord pondered for a moment, then said slowly.
Everyone agreed one after another.
"Exactly, I mean the same thing. The seven sects of Song Country are at a temporary disadvantage but still have the power to fight. If our sects rashly intervene, it would be disadvantageous instead."
"Song Country’s Cyan Cloud Sect has such a prodigy as True Master Profound Ice. The Profound Celestial Sect and Golden Sun Sect and the like may have them too. It’s just that they aren’t willing to expose them so early."
"As long as Song Country can resist the offensive from Yan Country, there’s no need for Liang Country to intervene and fight prematurely."
Quickly, the six Demon Lords reached a consensus.
After finishing their discussion on serious matters.
At this time, Dark Spirit Demon Lord from the Netherworld Sect suddenly asked.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Wan Meng, I heard that True Master Profound Ice possesses several Demon Soldiers, how to trade them?"
Wan Meng Demon Lord smiled, "A True Master’s Spiritual Artifact or the Essence Blood of a Tier Three Divine Dragon Descendant Demon Core."
"I have a somewhat incomplete Demon Flood Dragon Demon Core here, I wonder if he is willing to trade?"
"Fellow Daoist Dark Spirit, no need to rush, once this matter here is settled, Wan Meng will take you to meet True Master Profound Ice, and you can trade in person."
"That would be excellent."
Dark Spirit Demon Lord said with a smile.
...
At this time, within the Immortal City of Tianyuan, there was great jubilation.
The main hall of the City Lord’s mansion.
The lights were bright, toasts clinked, and laughter thundered.
The oppressive gloom that had lasted for ten years was swept away by Shen Xuan’s thunderous methods.
Previously, the frontline battlefield, Song Country’s sects had consistently been at a disadvantage.
The sects of Yan Country pressed on step by step, devouring territory as they went.
They had even reached the strategic stronghold of the Profound Celestial Sect’s Tianyuan Immortal City.
To resist the True Intent Sect of Yan Country, the Profound Celestial Sect had also invited the Golden Sun Sect and Cyan Cloud Sect to assist.
Despite this, they were still repeatedly defeated.
The True Intent Sect’s Zhuo Wuyan, with his Primordial Magnetic Evil Light divine power, defeated four newly advanced True Masters from three sects, his fame spreading far and wide.
Until Shen Xuan arrived.
Three breaths!
In merely three breaths, he froze Zhuo Wuyan, boosting the Song Country sects’ morale.
At this moment, the grand celebration banquet had already been laid out, with spirit wine and delicacies served like flowing water, the atmosphere extremely lively.
At the head seat, Shen Xuan sat calmly.
His appearance, among the many True Masters, seemed out of place.
Too handsome and young.
If one didn’t know his identity, just based on looks, he seemed like a young novice in Qi Cultivation.
Who could imagine he was the Ice Technique Golden Core True Master!
Shen Xuan showed no arrogance, as calm as still water.
The aura surrounding him, deep as the sea, was intimidating without anger.
"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, I toast to you!"
True Master Xuan Wen was the first to raise his cup, drinking it down.
Shen Xuan quickly raised his cup and drank.
"With such a talent in Cyan Cloud Sect, it will surely prosper!"
True Master Xuan Wen remarked with emotion.
"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, this battle has honored our Song Country sects, Fiery Sun toasts you!"
True Master Fiery Sun’s face was flushed, boldly raising his cup.
Shen Xuan likewise raised his cup and drank.
"Junior Brother Profound Ice, Senior Brother toasts you."
True Master Spirit Sword said slowly, his expression calm.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Spirit Sword!"
Shen Xuan smiled and drank the spirit wine in his cup.
"If it weren’t for Senior Brother Spirit Sword pointing out the flaw, I wouldn’t dare boast defeating the enemy in three breaths."
Everyone suddenly understood.
It turned out, True Master Spirit Sword had long seen Zhuo Wuyan’s flaw.
He advised True Master Profound Ice to attack from above, achieving victory with one strike.
True Master Spirit Sword smiled faintly.
"Even without my guidance, Zhuo Wuyan wouldn’t be a match for Junior Brother Profound Ice in three breaths."
The two exchanged a smile, saying no more.
At this time, disciples from the three major sects came forward one after another, offering toast after toast.
Especially when facing Shen Xuan, their words earnest and respectful.
Shen Xuan calmly responded, raising his cup to sip, not saying much.
No one felt he was rude; rather, it seemed fitting.
After all, Shen Xuan was the Ice Technique Golden Core True Master, his status exceptional.
The mere act of sipping the cup already gave them face.
...
After the banquet.
City Lord’s Mansion, secret room.
Here, only True Master Xuan Wen, True Master Fiery Sun, True Master Spirit Sword, and Shen Xuan were present.
True Master Fiery Sun got straight to the point: "Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, seeing you demonstrate your divine power today, reminded me of an old matter, not sure if I should bring it up?"
Shen Xuan smiled and said, "Feel free to speak, Fiery Sun Dao Brother."
True Master Fiery Sun sighed: "My brother’s direct disciple Wen Ruyu, known as True Master Wen Yang. Seven years ago, he fought Zhuo Wuyan, suffering injuries from his Primordial Magnetic Evil Light, damaging his inner core and divine soul, his foundation shaken, barely maintaining over the years, cultivation regressing instead of progressing."
"Now that you have achieved Golden Core, can Wen Ruyu’s injuries be completely healed?"
Shen Xuan fell silent.
With his current abilities, he could definitely heal it.
However, a quick promise could invite trouble.
Shen Xuan showed a troubled expression: "This..."
Not only True Master Fiery Sun, but even True Master Xuan Wen also showed concern.
Earlier, Zhuo Wuyan heavily injured four new True Masters, including two from the Profound Celestial Sect.
The other one was a Divine Sword Sect True Master.
If Shen Xuan could heal Wen Ruyu, he could also heal the other three True Masters.
This would require Shen Xuan to consume a significant amount of Origin Pill Essence.
This was also the reason for Shen Xuan’s troubled expression.
True Master Fiery Sun brought a hint of hope: "I remember, Wen Ruyu sought Fellow Daoist Profound Ice for help. At that time, you were only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet you could temporarily suppress the injuries with Origin Dao Foundation Spiritual Power, the effect was acceptable."
Hearing this, Shen Xuan pondered and said: "Not to hide from Fiery Sun Dao Brother. To heal True Master Wen Yang’s Primordial Magnetic Evil Light injury, Profound Ice may try."
"However, the Primordial Magnetic Evil Light is no small matter, and True Master Wen Yang’s injuries are severe. To heal completely, Profound Ice needs several years and also to consume considerable Origin Pill Power."
True Master Fiery Sun was delighted upon hearing this.
As long as Wen Ruyu’s injuries could be healed, any cost was worth it.
After all, he’s a newly advanced True Pill True Master.
"Rest assured! We won’t let Fellow Daoist Profound Ice exert himself for nothing. If Wen Ruyu can be healed, all matters can be discussed."
On the other side, True Master Xuan Wen quickly said: "Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, besides Wen Ruyu, there are three other True Pill Dao Friends injured by Primordial Magnetic Evil Light."
"If True Master Profound Ice can heal their injuries, it would also be a great accomplishment."
Shen Xuan sighed longingly.
He knew he couldn’t favor one over the others.
"How about this. Healing the injuries isn’t a day’s work, it requires gradual effort. Fiery Sun Dao Brother, have Fellow Daoist Wen Yang come to Cold Jade Peak of Cyan Cloud Sect."
"I will return to the sect immediately and make necessary preparations. If everything goes smoothly, I will heal Fellow Daoist Wen Yang’s injuries. The other three Dao Friends can also come for treatment in sequence."
"However, this way, for the next ten years, I must focus on this matter, even affecting my daily cultivation, making it hard to return to the battlefield."
This is Shen Xuan’s strategy of advancing through retreat.
If the war between the Yan and Song Countries continues to escalate, he needs to protect himself and withdraw.
After all, facing veteran Golden Cores, he holds no advantage.
One misstep could lead to defeat and demise.
True Master Xuan Wen said solemnly: "Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, rest assured. Having broken Zhuo Wuyan’s Primordial Magnetic Evil Light, the other newly advanced True Masters of Yan Country pose no threat!"
Shen Xuan looked toward True Master Spirit Sword: "Senior Brother Spirit Sword, what should I do?"
"This matter is significant, and needs to be reported to Sect Leader Mysterious Trace Senior Brother."
The four discussed for a while.
Ultimately, Shen Xuan used the excuse of returning to the sect to consolidate his realm, standing up first to take his leave.
Shen Xuan left the City Lord’s Mansion, summoned the Silver-Horned Celestial Horse, spread its wings, and silently blended into the night, speeding toward Cyan Cloud Sect.
The three Golden Core True Masters watched Shen Xuan’s departing direction, each with their thoughts.
After today, the fame of True Master Profound Ice Shen Xuan will resonate throughout the surrounding countries’ Cultivation Realm.
True Master Xuan Wen, thoughtful, remarked: "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Spirit Sword, Cyan Cloud Sect has another fierce general, sect revival is in sight!"
True Master Spirit Sword shook his head: "Firmness easily breaks, gentleness remains. Hope he acts wisely!"
