Old Zhu’s crisis, Bai Mao exerts his power.
After returning to his cave dwelling, the rain outside the mountain gate had already stopped, but inside the gate, especially at Longevity Peak where the Incense Fire Incarnation was cultivating, the rain continued incessantly, forming a spectacle—
A rainbow emerged from the mist-covered chasm, drew an arc over the Longevity Thirteen Peaks, then plunged back into the abyss, scattering countless bright spots, dazzlingly brilliant.
Chen Dengming was now certain that this rain, if not caused by the two Hearts of the Ocean of the Incense Fire Incarnation, was at least induced by them.
And the increase of Water Spirit Qi in the air caused the rainfall to intensify.
...
He donned an ordinary blue shirt, wearing the humiliating Giant Deer Robe underneath, and as he flew past, many disciples quickly bowed and greeted him with respect and deference.
The title of Fighting Longevity Monarch, acquired through numerous notable achievements, had already marked him as one of the most distinguished Sect Leaders in the history of the Longevity Sect.
When he arrived at the Longevity Hall, he happened to encounter Guan Chao, who had come to hand over Sect duties.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Guan Chao took out a jade token that recorded the roster, saying respectfully, “Sect Leader!
The list of disciples about to descend the mountain for training is all here.
After you review it, if it looks good, you can approve it.”
“Hmm.
Let me see, which disciples are there…
Have their Soul Slips all been prepared?”
“Rest assured, Sect Leader, all are prepared…” Guan Chao nodded and hesitated.
Chen Dengming glanced at him, and with an imposing but friendly smile, said, “Speak whatever is on your mind.”
Guan Chao bowed with a bitter smile, “Sect Leader…
using Soul Slips for so many disciples, is ultimately a significant expense…
Actually, the safety factor for this mission is quite high.”
“Oh?”
Chen Dengming waved his hand and said, “Now that the Sect has sufficient resources, and my achievements are plentiful.
Resources earned must be spent to nurture talent instead of being hoarded and wasted.
These Soul Slips, which I exchanged for with my battlefield achievements, are not too costly and are necessary to be properly equipped.”
Upon hearing this, Guan Chao could only bow in admiration, “The disciples of Longevity Sect are fortunate to have such a leader.”
Chen Dengming took the jade token, examined it carefully, and finding no issues, exercised his authority as Sect Leader by stamping it with the Dao Force imprint of the Longevity Jade Seal, approving this batch of Sect disciples to embark on their training in the mountains.
This training mission primarily involved heading to the Western Region to cooperate with Cultivators from the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance in rescuing distressed compatriots from the Southeastern Two Realms as well as settling mortals.
If encountering Demons or Demon Cultivators, they were to coordinate in battle, annihilate the Demons, and eliminate the root of the problem, thus preventing future troubles.
The emphasis was indeed on “eliminating future troubles.”
While giving these instructions, Chen Dengming found himself gradually turning into the archetype he often read about in novels from his previous life, the eccentric old Daoist who frequently advocated “subduing Demons and championing justice.”
Now in his position, he truly understood that ‘subduing Demons and championing justice’ was not a matter of mockery.
It was a necessary measure for the stability of the Four Regions and their protection.
Otherwise, if the grand curtain opened once more and the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators returned, the remnants we leave today in the Four Regions would resurge, becoming the greatest malignancy causing internal and external troubles.
Guan Chao, after receiving the approved jade token roster, remarked with emotion and a probing tone, “As of today, the remnants in the Northwest Two Realms have also been nearly eradicated.
It seems our Deity Transformation Dao Lords have reached some agreement with the Deity Transformation Dao Lords from the outer domain, as after that big battle, there have been no further hostilities.
Based on this, the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance has gradually started to organize missions for disaster relief and reception work.
In this tight situation for manpower, it’s good for our Longevity Sect disciples to go and gain some experience; after all, the danger is minimal…”
Chen Dengming, perceiving the probing intent, shook his head, “What decision the opposing Dao Lords have made, I am not clear at this moment.
However, it seems that they might have chosen to keep the peace.
After all, the Four Regions are ultimately our territory, and I think our Ancestors also have some reservations.”
Guan Chao frowned slightly, then let out a breath and laughed, “That’s good, that’s good, it’s good if they do not fight.”
He suddenly remembered something and reminded, “Sect Leader, Qiu Feng announced yesterday that he will enter closed-door cultivation to fully focus on reaching Infant Formation.
I must report this to you; should we send Elder Ye to the Changchun Sect to oversee?”
“Oh?
Sect Leader Qiu is about to make a breakthrough?” Chen Dengming’s face showed a smile, “That is good news.”
He paused, pondering, “In that case, I personally will send an Infancy Pill to Sect Leader Qiu to aid him, and let Elder Ye accompany him.”
Guan Chao shuddered, envy apparent in his eyes, then he quickly bowed, “Sect Leader is truly generous!”
Chen Dengming looked at the raindrops ‘splashing’ on the steps, his hands behind his back, and sighed, “Having one more Nascent Soul in our Sect is ultimately a good thing; it’s only right for me to provide assistance.”
Guan Chao’s eyes dimmed slightly, catching the implication.
Now that Longevity Sect’s First Ancestor had fallen, and only one Divine Spirit of the Second Ancestor remained, the Sect would indeed appear in decline if not for the renown of Chen Dengming’s title as Fighting Longevity Monarch.
At this time, if Qiu Feng could break through to Nascent Soul, that would be an immensely positive development.
He watched as Chen Dengming took out a Jade Box containing Elixir Pills from his Storage Bag and handed it over, he couldn’t help but remind,
“Sect Leader!
Elder Brother Ran…
might soon be at the end of his life; a month ago, I received a message from Evergreen Island, Elder Brother Ran has entered seclusion, not seeing anyone…”
Chen Dengming was startled, his gaze involuntarily resting on the lotus pond in front of Longevity Hall.
The pattering raindrops made a ‘drip-drop’ sound in the lotus pond.
