Second Senior Brother’s Alien Immortal Meeting_2 Chapter 1065: 424: Dali Dynasty!
Second Senior Brother’s Alien Immortal Meeting_2 But in that case, it would have been difficult to come into contact with the path of cultivation early on.
Su Yanyan said, “Second senior brother has recently been tinkering with the Alien Immortal Meeting.
On this trip, let’s start by attending the meeting as ordinary cultivators and look for the right opportunity to awaken him.”
…
The annual Alien Immortal Meeting hosted by the Princely Heir of the King of Zhongyong was indeed underway.
This meeting, having been held five times since its inception, has already become quite renowned within the Dali Dynasty.
...
Every year, many people possessing unique skills, including true cultivators, would come to present magic artifacts and unique skills to the Princely Heir, who had already embarked on the path to immortality.
The King of Zhongyong seemed pleased with this arrangement; he didn’t obstruct his only son’s happiness and even allowed lavish feasts to be held within the King’s Mansion, inviting various immortals to visit.
This year’s Alien Immortal Meeting was no exception.
It had been going on for just seven days, but already, the King’s Mansion was bathed in spiritual light every night, and by day, oddly dressed individuals or those riding demonic beasts could be seen attending the meeting.
This led to the Royal City flourishing recently, attracting countless young heroes and scholars who admired cultivation, all coming to seek a destiny with the immortals and to witness their elegance.
Chen Dengming and Su Yanyan disguised themselves as Qi Cultivators who had stepped onto the path of immortality.
With just a minor display of their skills, they had already shocked the welcoming official outside the Alien Immortal Tower and were respectfully ushered into the King’s Mansion, treated with the highest standard of hospitality for distinguished guests.
…
That night,
the two found themselves in the elegantly decorated Superior Immortal Pavilion, listening to the sound of music playing outside, and with a slight probe of their spirits, they already knew that most of the attracted individuals were merely ordinary humans.
There were indeed more than ten Qi Cultivators, and a few were even high-level Qi Cultivators.
As for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, there were none at all.
“Senior sister, it seems our disguise revealing Qi Cultivation of the eighth level might be too high, possibly even catching the attention of second senior brother…”
After probing with his spirit, Chen Dengming couldn’t help but chuckle.
At this Alien Immortal Meeting, it was essentially just the mediocre trying to outdo each other.
He was surprised, “Logically, the Princely Heir revitalized by second senior brother should have also entered the path of cultivation, even having reached only Qi Cultivation of the third level.
But with the resources of the Dali Dynasty and the King’s Mansion, high-level Qi Cultivators shouldn’t just be treated as special guests; how come there is not a single Foundation Establishment Cultivator in this King’s Mansion?”
Beneath her veil, Su Yanyan’s beautiful face remained calm as her bright eyes twinkled with laughter.
“Junior brother, there are indeed Foundation Establishment Cultivators here in the mansion, just listen carefully.”
Chen Dengming raised an eyebrow, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he also heard the Qi Cultivators residing in some of the pavilions nearby discussing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator named ‘Master Qiandan.’
“…It is said that the young prince went out hunting demonic beasts with Master Qiandan, looking for spiritual materials to craft breakthrough pills.
Judging by the time, he should be returning soon.”
“Ah, with the sophisticated guidance of Master Qiandan, the young prince needs none of our mediocre Qi Cultivator offerings; it seems this trip might have been in vain.”
“Fellow Daoist seems to be new and doesn’t understand the young prince’s character.
Every year, the young prince hosts this Alien Immortal Meeting mainly to gather rare treasures and unique skills from around the world.
If someone’s self-created skill catches his eye, the young prince rewards them generously and may even invite them to serve in the King’s Mansion!”
“Second senior brother’s mentality in his reforging journey is indeed quite unrestrained….”
Chen Dengming thought to himself and withdrew his divine sense, turning to Su Yanyan with a smile and a shake of his head, “But who exactly is this Master Qiandan, and which sect does he belong to?
Has the sect secretly investigated his background?”
Su Yanyan nodded, “He has indeed been investigated secretly.
Master Qiandan was a Qi Cultivator from the Elixir Sect in the past.
After the war, he fortuitously broke through to Foundation Establishment.
He only arrived at the King’s Mansion five years ago, and due to his cultivation level and alchemy skills, he was highly valued by the King’s Mansion.
Initially, second senior brother also learned alchemy from him for two years.
But as it appears now, it is subpar, unfortunately delaying his cultivation….”
Chen Dengming also felt a pang of emotion.
The reforging journey of their second senior brother, Jiang Jian, was indeed fraught with difficulties.
While it seemed he was provided with favorable conditions, ironically, those were too generous.
Coupled with the indulgence of the Prince within and outside the King’s Mansion, it resulted in a lack of determination and his cultivation being too unfocused, entirely dependent on spurts of enthusiasm.
This had led to him still being only a Qi Cultivator of the third level in his early twenties, yet to break through the initial confusion and awaken his divine spirit.
“Second Senior Brother’s current state is simply not going to make it…”
“I think we need to awaken him at the right moment; otherwise, day after day of wasting time will only squander his prime years and deplete his longevity potential.”
Chen Dengming looked at Su Yanyan, “Senior Sister, knowing so much about the situation, do you already have a brilliant plan?”
Su Yanyan pondered and said, “When we come to awaken Second Senior Brother, we mustn’t act rashly to prevent his spirit from faltering and his psyche from collapsing.
Even if forcefully awakened, Second Senior Brother’s Divine Spirit might struggle to integrate harmoniously with his previous spirit, making it difficult for him to return to Nascent Soul, let alone successfully cultivate a Golden Core.”
Chen Dengming nodded in agreement.
The so-called Golden Core is the life cultivation, while the Nascent Soul gathers the three elements.
Life refers to the union of the body and soul, and the three elements represent the Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
Once a person’s soul is different, with conflicting spirits, let alone forming the Infant, even the Golden Core is very difficult.
Wisdom flickered in Su Yanyan’s bright eyes as she continued, “It’s not that there are no ways.
Over the years, the sect has only occasionally conducted secret investigations on the people around Second Senior Brother, never interfering with his growth as long as no one harms him, letting nature take its course.

But over the years, they have also discovered a situation.
It turns out that the reason why the King of Zhongyong has failed to produce a son for many years is that someone had secretly cast a spell to disrupt his physical state, leading to the birth of daughters only.
Moreover, the reason why Second Senior Brother’s previous identity was diagnosed as mentally deficient at the age of two, thinking back now, is likely because he was harmed by vile individuals shortly after he was born…”
“Oh?” Chen Dengming looked surprised, “Given this possibility, why didn’t the Ancestor notice it back then?”
Su Yanyan replied, “Perhaps it isn’t that the Ancestor didn’t notice, but rather he might have seen it as a calamity, left to us today to awaken Second Senior Brother, serving as a catalyst.
Without this catalyst, it would also be baseless for us to naturally awaken his Divine Spirit…”
Chen Dengming suddenly realized, feeling even more admiration for the Ancestor Lu Xiucheng’s foresight.
But at the same time, new doubts arose in his heart.
“Logically, since someone does not want the King of Zhongyong to have a normal son, and now that Second Senior Brother’s Divine Spirit has entered, this little prince is no longer foolish but is incredibly intelligent and has even started cultivating…
Wouldn’t they continue to harm him?
But over these years, Second Senior Brother has been very safe, without suffering any underhanded harm.”
Su Yanyan looked puzzled, “This is exactly what I find strange.
Over the years, I personally made several secret visits to observe the state of Second Senior Brother, and he has not been harmed by anyone’s spells, as if whoever once harmed the Zhongyong prince has already given up.”
Chen Dengming’s gaze deepened, and he walked to the window with his hands behind his back, saying, “Perhaps they have not given up, but after the little prince’s recovery from foolishness and commencement of cultivation, feeling the oddity of the situation, they dare not make further moves.
After all, the King of Zhongyong himself is a cultivator of Qi Cultivation at the tenth level, not to be underestimated.
Moreover, these years, Second Senior Brother has taken a keen interest in various skills; to put it bluntly, he’s dabbling in all but mastering none, which probably led them to abandon any further harmful actions…”
Su Yanyan, “Perhaps your guess is correct, yet such would mean that the reason our master specifically left us has also lost its clue.”
Chen Dengming gave a wry smile, turned back, and looked at Su Yanyan, “Senior Sister, didn’t you just say you have a way?
You must have already discovered something, speak up.”
With a twinkle in her bright eyes, Su Yanyan glanced sidelong at Chen Dengming, “It seems now, the person who harmed us in the past is stirring once again.
This Master Qiandan is highly suspicious.
When he took Second Senior Brother away, I had already sent Junior Nephew Le among others from the sect to follow in secret, but so far, nothing unusual has happened.
As for whether my guess is right, we will know once they return!”
Chen Dengming smiled sagely, “Longevity Sect has always governed the countries under it with the principle that aside from the royal family members themselves, no cultivator should interfere in the internal affairs and power succession of the dynasty.
Now, it seems some cultivator has already interfered in the internal affairs of the dynasty, even attempting to harm the King of Zhongyong…
The courage and necessity for this…
come from only one place!”
