Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 424: Soul Token Shattered

"Middle Stage of Golden Core!"

Shen Xuan’s heart shivered, yet his face remained calm and composed.

This time, True Master Xuan Wen’s Divine Sense swept over everyone indiscriminately, treating everyone as equals.

It seemed he was testing the realm cultivation of the sect disciples who were training in the secret realm.

Shen Xuan’s performance resembled the sect’s Golden Core Inheritors, without attracting True Master Xuan Wen’s special attention.

After the sweep, True Master Xuan Wen revealed a hint of a smile.

Clearly, the strength of the sect disciples training in the secret realm was quite mediocre.

Compared to the Profound Celestial Sect, they fell far short.

Two more days passed.

A spaceship from the commerce association arrived.

Shen Xuan unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.

"Why is he here?"

The visitor was Zhuo Qingning, the president of the United Commerce Association.

He was a Fake Pill True Master.

Compared to sect True Masters, his stature was lacking.

However, beside Zhuo Qingning was an elderly man with a sallow complexion and a lean body, possessing a formidable aura, evidently a Golden Core True Master.

Zhuo Qingning slightly nodded towards Shen Xuan and introduced the Golden Core elder to the True Masters present.

It turned out this man was Zhuo Jincheng, the hidden owner of the United Commerce Association.

He had come to purchase treasures from the secret realm.

Of course, only those the sects were willing to sell.

In front of the Seven Sects’ True Masters, Zhuo Jincheng felt inadequate.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhuo Qingning first greeted True Master Ling Xiao and True Master Cold Jade.

Then he came to Shen Xuan.

"Young friend Shen Xuan, long time no see, you’re even more impressive!"

Zhuo Qingning said with a smile.

"Shen Xuan greets President Zhuo."

Shen Xuan returned the courtesy.

"The Foundation Establishment Pill materials you wanted, everything except the Life Fruit has been prepared."

Zhuo Qingning transmitted through Divine Soul.

Shen Xuan’s eyes brightened.

"How many portions?"

"Thirty portions."

"Too few!"

Shen Xuan shook his head, "Didn’t we agree to prepare a hundred portions first?"

"No rush, young friend. Procuring Foundation Establishment Pill materials isn’t easy. You have to give me some time."

In fact, Zhuo Qingning had held back.

Purchasing Foundation Establishment Pill materials couldn’t be harder than acquiring Tier Three Special Spirit Pills like the Life-Extending Pill?

Merchants prioritize profits.

Some matters he wanted to discuss with Shen Xuan face to face.

But Shen Xuan was always in seclusion at Cold Jade Peak, leaving no opportunity for a direct meeting.

"If young friend is willing to offset the debt with Foundation Establishment Pills, it would be much easier!"

Zhuo Qingning transmitted with a smile.

Shen Xuan gave Zhuo Qingning a deep look.

They’re all old foxes!

"This isn’t the place to talk. After returning, President Zhuo, please find time to visit Cold Jade Peak, and we can discuss in person."

Shen Xuan thought about it.

With his current ability, he indeed couldn’t find a better partner than the United Commerce Association.

"Good! I will definitely visit,"

Seeing Shen Xuan concede, Zhuo Qingning felt elated.

He approached Zhuo Jincheng, his lips slightly moving.

Zhuo Jincheng nodded slightly towards Shen Xuan and then turned to chat with True Master Cold Jade.

"I’ve heard Fellow Daoist Cold Jade excels in the Life-Extending Pill. The United Commerce Association happens to have three sets of materials; could Fellow Daoist Cold Jade spare time to help refine them?"

True Master Cold Jade didn’t completely refuse.

The two privately discussed.

True Master Cold Jade gestured for Shen Xuan to come over.

"This is my young disciple Shen Xuan. As for refining the Life-Extending Pill, let him coordinate with President Zhuo."

"Great. That’s exactly what I had in mind."

Shen Xuan felt slightly surprised.

True Master Cold Jade’s attitude towards Zhuo Jincheng was quite amicable.

Much better compared to the attitude towards the Profound Celestial Sect True Masters.

Shen Xuan pondered slightly.

Then he deduced the reason.

True Master Cold Jade was originally a Loose Cultivator, having always stayed in Song Country.

The main base of the United Commerce Association was also in Song Country.

True Master Cold Jade and Zhuo Jincheng must have known each other for a long time.

Loose Cultivator Golden Core True Masters are extremely rare.

Across Song Country, there are only a handful.

...

Three days passed.

A sword-shaped spaceship arrived, belonging to the Divine Sword Sect.

Leading were two Golden Core True Masters, one with a stern appearance, square face and high nose, the other pale-faced, lean and resolute.

Shen Xuan listened to their greetings with the True Masters; they were named Yue Mingfei and Cheng Tianyi.

They brought twenty disciples trained in the secret realm.

Shen Xuan’s mind stirred.

Thus, it seemed, all seven sects had two True Masters leading the teams.

Both Cyan Cloud Sect and Divine Sword Sect belonged to the same tier.

While Medicine God Valley was noticeably less.

Among the Divine Sword Sect’s disciples, Nie Wuhen was unexpectedly present.

Seeing Shen Xuan standing beside True Master Cold Jade, he was slightly astonished.

He then subtly transmitted to Yue Mingfei.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Cold Jade on acquiring a great disciple. The glory of the major sect is just around the corner!"

Yue Mingfei said with a smile, though his eyes held no trace of it.

The defeat of the direct disciple Nie Wuhen to Shen Xuan had made him a subject of amusement among the True Masters of Song Country.

Even the Sect Leader Brother mentioned at a meeting, intentionally or not, to encourage the Core Formation Seeds to enhance their combat ability.

Divine Sword Sect’s Golden Core Inheritor, losing in competition to Cyan Cloud Sect’s True Master Inheritor.

The opponent was merely at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Though he also refined his body and was at Golden Body Realm Perfection.

Theoretically, they belonged to the same realm.

Still, no matter how it’s explained, Nie Wuhen was defeated.

It damaged the face of the Divine Sword Sect and Yue Mingfei.

Yue Mingfei knew Nie Wuhen’s battle strength.

In the Divine Sword Sect, while not as dominantly leading, he ranked among the top.

In Divine Sword Sect’s martial techniques, fewer than ten surpassed Nie Wuhen.

True Master Cold Jade’s face was like ice: "Yue Mingfei, if you’re not satisfied, let’s have a duel."

"Don’t joke. My old bones can’t stand Fellow Daoist Cold Jade’s torment! Yue Mingfei graciously admits defeat!"

Yue Mingfei said seriously.

With such thick skin, True Master Cold Jade had no way to deal with him.

Yue Mingfei just bantered a bit.

He wasn’t going to engage in a fight with True Master Cold Jade.

Victory wasn’t worth it.

A loss would lead to a loss of face.

In the following days, spaceships from Golden Sun Sect, Beast Emperor Pavilion, and Thousand Mechanism Sect arrived in succession.

Among them, Golden Sun Sect was the most imposing.

Golden Sun Sect’s spaceship burned like flames, imposing and seemingly able to pierce through space, moving at extreme speed.

The two True Masters leading the team were both at the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

One appeared as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, the other had a head full of white hair and sharp eyes.

The boy-like one was True Master Fiery Sun.

The one with white hair was Golden Sword True Master.

The forty disciples for training in the Secret Realm all exuded heroic vigor and were brimming with battle intent.

Shen Xuan secretly praised in his heart.

No wonder the Golden Sun Sect could stand on equal footing with the Profound Celestial Sect.

Just judging by the True Masters leading the team and the disciples for training in the Secret Realm, while the Golden Sun Sect fell slightly short of the Profound Celestial Sect, the gap was not vast.

"So, Song Country is a Seven Sects Alliance, not dominated by the Profound Celestial Sect alone!"

If the Profound Celestial Sect were strong enough, it should have first annexed the other six sects, unifying Song Country’s sects and integrating the entire Spirit Vein resources of Song Country.

In such a way, the strength of the Profound Celestial Sect would undergo a qualitative enhancement.

By then, no matter which direction they choose, they could break through.

Instead of being like now.

Repeatedly depleting Song Country cultivators to maintain a fragile balance.

A few days later.

The Beast Emperor Pavilion and the Thousand Mechanism Sect arrived.

The Beast Emperor Pavilion had twenty disciples for training in the Secret Realm, while the Thousand Mechanism Sect had fifteen.

Shen Xuan stood behind True Master Cold Jade.

He was somewhat apprehensive of the Beast Emperor Pavilion.

Luckily, the True Master of Beast Emperor Pavilion was busy socializing with others.

Not particularly focused on Shen Xuan.

This made Shen Xuan feel slightly relieved.

Apparently, the matter with Lu Wenshang of Beast Emperor Pavilion at Luoxia Lake in the Wilderness hadn’t been revealed.

Actually, Shen Xuan handled the matter cleanly and decisively.

Lu Wenshang was killed by his wife, Zhuang Ninglu.

Zhuang Ninglu was originally a disciple of Hundred Flowers Valley.

She managed things very well without leaving any loose ends.

The seven sects gathered.

In front of the cultivators from the other six sects, True Master Xuan Wen gave a speech to the disciples for training in the Secret Realm.

The message was very clear.

After entering the Secret Realm, all disciples must unite and assist each other and must not kill each other.

Otherwise, once out of the Secret Realm, they will be punished according to sect rules.

True Master Xuan Wen even specifically pointed out.

The disciples of the remaining six sects must be treated as fellow disciples of the Profound Celestial Sect.

No private fights allowed.

Absolutely must not make the first move.

Otherwise, punishment according to sect rules is the same.

True Master Fiery Sun of the Golden Sun Sect followed suit.

When giving a speech, they conveyed the same message.

The other sects were also the same.

Shen Xuan found it amusing.

A group of acting kings performing.

Saying grandly that no private fights are allowed among the disciples of the seven sects.

But truly, when it comes to vying for significant opportunities that affect interests.

Forget about the disciples from other sects, even among disciples of the same sects, they may fight to the death.

As long as no one witnesses it, and there’s no evidence, then it doesn’t violate sect rules.

If it truly breaks out, everyone has their reasons, and it becomes hard to judge right or wrong.

Would the sect’s True Masters even ruin their own prospects and probe into the souls of their Core Formation seeds!

Bear in mind, cultivators who undergo soul probing may easily suffer damage to their Divine Souls or even face mental collapse, becoming idiots, perishing along the path.

The Secret Realm at Gan Shui is within the Water Realm County of the Profound Celestial Sect.

All slots for training in the Secret Realm were monopolized by Song Country’s seven major sects, totaling one hundred eighty people.

Sixteen True Masters from the seven sects examined all disciples entering the Secret Realm.

This way, these one hundred eighty people are ensured to be Spirit Cultivators.

There’s no way for Demon Cultivators to mix among them.

As for the Realm Cultivation, it’s secondary.

The majority of the training disciples are at Foundation Establishment Perfection.

A minority are in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Only two are at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

One comes from the Profound Celestial Sect, one from the Golden Sun Sect.

Shen Xuan took just one glance and understood the deep foundation of these two.

Their fellow sect disciples hold significant respect for these two.

"So, there are exceptions."

Shen Xuan contemplated.

Looking over.

The Core Formation seed of the Cyan Cloud Sect was slightly weaker than the Divine Sword Sect.

Comparable to the cultivators of the Beast Emperor Pavilion.

However, the cultivators in the Beast Emperor Pavilion mostly possess Tier Two Spirit Beasts.

Overall, Beast Emperor Pavilion slightly outshines the Cyan Cloud Sect.

A few days passed.

Everyone assembled.

"Everyone is here, shall we begin?"

True Master Xuan Wen proposed.

"Then let’s begin!"

True Master Xuan Ku distributed six pieces of Secret Realm tokens.

Each of the seven sects dispatched a True Master to simultaneously activate the Secret Realm tokens.

True Master Xuan Wen infused Spiritual Power, merging the seven tokens into one, forming a Secret Realm Key.

Following thus, the seven sects’ True Masters simultaneously acted, activating the Secret Realm Key, tossing it toward the barren area ahead where there was no one.

In the next instant.

The wind swept away the clouds, a phenomenon occurred.

An ancient door’s shadow stood before everyone.

The seven sects’ True Masters continued to exert force.

The Secret Realm Key’s Spiritual Light dazzled, flying to the shadow of the Secret Realm’s door, inserting itself within.

The ancient door slowly opened.

In the sight before them, the view suddenly illuminated, revealing the vast barren land inside the door.

"Is this the Gan Shui Secret Realm filled with Heavenly and Earthly Treasures?"

Shen Xuan wondered silently.

At this moment, True Master Xuan Wen ordered the disciples of the Profound Celestial Sect to enter in succession.

They walked to the ancient door and, upon taking a step forward, were enveloped in a blue light and suddenly vanished.

Subsequently, disciples from other sects also entered the Secret Realm in order according to the commands of their respective leading True Masters.

Before long, all one hundred eighty Core Formation seeds from the seven sects had entered the Secret Realm.

The seven True Masters concluded their actions. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The Secret Realm Key flew back, changing back into seven pieces of Secret Realm tokens.

This time, the seven True Masters each took their respective pieces back, without returning them to True Master Xuan Ku.

The ancient door slowly closed.

The leading True Masters began to rest with their eyes closed.

The Gan Shui Secret Realm lasts for three months.

Fortune or misfortune depends entirely on the personal fate of the disciples training in the Secret Realm.

Once inside the Secret Realm, as True Masters, they can offer no help and can only wait peacefully.

Shen Xuan stood respectfully behind True Master Cold Jade.

Along this journey, he never stayed more than ten feet away from True Master Cold Jade.

Just three days passed.

True Master Xuan Ying of Medicine God Valley’s expression changed.

Among the fifteen Soul Tokens before him, one suddenly shattered.
