Chapter 152: 91~92: If you get the wine from the Foundation Establishment cup, why always bow your head outside?
(Two-in-one chapter seeking monthly ticket)_1 Chapter 152: 91~92: If you get the wine from the Foundation Establishment cup, why always bow your head outside?
(Two-in-one chapter seeking monthly ticket)_1 Seeing the cultivators from the Longevity Sect and the Spirit Boat ahead, Chen Dengming was initially elated, followed by confusion.
Because upon closer inspection, a faint layer of light emerged from between the Turtle and Snake Twin Peaks, appearing and disappearing intermittently, like a barrier blocking the way.
In some obscure corners, there were even cultivators from the Longevity Sect standing guard.
“What is going on?”
Chen Dengming had a sudden shock in his heart, lowering his Escape Light to observe cultivators being inspected before being allowed entry at the entrance beyond the light membrane.
He hesitated for a moment and did not approach immediately.
...
Instead, he first dispersed the blood killing gas within his body, then used the Bone Shrinking Technique to slightly change his appearance, no longer wearing the human skin mask, and quickly concealed his Wuling Snatch.
Upon arrival at the edge of the Eastern Region’s heartland, he should no longer carry an intimidating air about him.
Local cultivators are mostly Sect Disciples; as a Loose Cultivator, who would you intimidate with such an air?
If people see a Loose Cultivator being so defiant, they might want to provoke you.
Such things do happen, and you must not look for trouble yourself.
Chen Dengming decided to be little Chen again.
If one wishes to garner respect in public, they must endure hardship in private.
Let’s lay low for now, and once he has reached Foundation Establishment and became a senior disciple, then he can regain his prestige.
Once he was sure he had made no mistakes, he approached the crowd and pricked up his ears to listen to the chatter.
“Apparently, they are examining our background and then need a Low-Grade Spirit Stone to receive a Route Guide in order to enter!”
“Eh?
No way!
Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.
Longevity Sect has always been peaceful and has a good reputation.
Being wealthy and abundant, why would they suddenly add insult to injury, stopping people and checking backgrounds with a charge?”
“Tsk.
You all really lack foresight.
It’s just a Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
The Route Guide made by the Longevity Sect?
You couldn’t even buy one in the past with five of such stones.
Having one of these means even if you’re a Loose Cultivator, once you’ve entered the Longevity Sect domain, you’re less likely to be bullied – it’s akin to being recognized by the Longevity Sect.”
“That makes sense but why the Longevity Sect go to such lengths?
No matter how fiercely Dark Moon School and Moon Watching Sect fight, they wouldn’t dare to invade the territory of the Longevity Sect, right?
The master of these sects, Yingyue Sect, is almost at the end of their rope.
In the past, when Yellow Phoenix Sect and Black Sand Sect were fighting, the Longevity Sect didn’t bat an eyelid!”
“I don’t know, the situation might not be as simple.
Also, the Grand Ancestor from Yingyue Sect just disappeared, not died.
Something unexpected might happen!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming’s heart stirred.
With both hands tucked into his sleeves, he approached the crowd with a harmless smile and asked, “Hey, fellow cultivator, why did the Grand Ancestor of Yingyue Sect disappear?”
The speaker frowned, glanced at Chen Dengming, and coldly said, “These matters of the immortal gateways’ higher-ups, it’s better not to poke your nose into!”
Before he could finish speaking, he was surprised to see Chen Dengming handing him a Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
“Fellow cultivator, let little me take care of your Route Guide fee later.”
Chen Dengming said with a modest smile, without saying he’s offering a treat, but suggesting a luxury.
The speaker chuckled, glanced at the other cultivators trying to eavesdrop, hummed lightly, and winked at Chen Dengming.
“I will only tell you.”
Then he whispered.
“Word has it that the Nascent Soul Master of Yingyue Sect offended someone powerful in the past.
Like him, quite a few sects, including Miaoyin Sect, were involved, resulting in the death of a Nascent Soul Master from Miaoyin.
This incident caused a great uproar at the time.
But after all, it’s been hundreds of years, and I don’t know the details of the case.
I learned about this from a senior!”
“Fellow cultivator, do you think it’s possible that the Nascent Soul Master of Yingyue Sect is dead, and the person who was powerful enough to cause the death of the Nascent Soul Master in Miaoyin Sect back then has reappeared?
Hence, the Longevity Sect is acting in such a grand manner!”
“This!”
“Never mind, never mind.
These are merely my conjectures and should not be taken as truth, fellow cultivator.
We’re even now~”
Chen Dengming gave a slight nod.
It was his turn in the queue ahead.
He approached it, ruminating in his heart.
“Could it really be related to that Demon Star who, like me, came out of Nanxun?
It seems like the only explanation, but how can it be related to the Dark Moon School and Moon Watching Sect?”
Unable to figure it out, but Chen Dengming was too lazy to ponder.
This level of power is beyond comprehension.
Excessive worries are like needless fears.
In his previous life, people were always concerned that a war between two great countries might affect their safety.
But does the worries of ordinary civilians matter?
It only adds to their troubles, the will of the strong does not revolve around the weak.
The only solution is to hasten and become a strong entity before the turmoil sets in.
Soon, it was Chen Dengming’s turn in the queue.
A cultivator who was examining them said, “Where are you from?
What’s your name?
What’s your strength level?.
Tell the truth!”
“Complying with fellow cultivator’s request, I’m from Absolute Forest City and my name is Gao Hu; I am currently at the tenth level of Qi Cultivation.”
Chen Dengming responded honestly, hiding nothing except for his name.
If he lied and was found out then and there, it would cause trouble.
As soon as he spoke, the crowd behind him changed colors, looking astonished at Chen Dengming’s robust figure, and started their speculations in their hearts.
A Loose Cultivator at the tenth Qi Cultivation level?
The examiner also hesitated for a moment, scrutinized Chen Dengming’s white temples, and asked, “You are quite old, aren’t you?”
Chen Dengming smiled and shook his head, “I may look old, but I’m not that aged in reality.
I used some secret methods in my cultivation, which consumed some of my lifespan.”
Upon hearing this, the cultivator’s eyes flashed with disdain and realization.
The cultivators of the Longevity Sect inherently look down upon such methods of enhancing one’s strength at the cost of their lifespan.
He then said, “Looking at you, you don’t seem to be a native cultivator from Absolute Forest City?”
