Chapter 226: 121-122: Which family inherited the Dao Orthodoxy of the Five Immortals, each leading the fashion for thousands of years (a combination of two in one for monthly pass)_1 Chapter 226: 121-122: Which family inherited the Dao Orthodoxy of the Five Immortals, each leading the fashion for thousands of years (a combination of two in one for monthly pass)_1 “If the Grand Ancestor of Yingyue Sect is still alive, he should be about 1,700 years old now.
His time is running out, probably only two to three hundred years left at best.
Even if he could acquire some kind of heaven-sent treasure to prolong his life, he could live for at most another 500 years….”
He is of the same era as One Ancestor of Longevity Sect, who is over 1,800 years old this year.
I had the honor of observing the demeanor of One Ancestor from afar at his last birthday celebration when he turned 1,800….”
Inside Changchun Hall, a small Foundation Establishment gathering was underway, with Liang Yunsheng speaking with a sense of sentimentality, while Chen Dengming and a few others listened eagerly.
To live more than 1,800 years, in Chen Dengming’s view from his previous life’s historical perspective, would be like living from the Han Dynasty straight through to the Qing Dynasty.
This was simply unheard of.
The Nascent Soul True Monarch calculated his remaining years in units of hundreds, even for mere survival.
...
A little more time to hang on meant 500 years.
Chen Dengming used to take pride in the fact that he still had nearly 290 years to live.
Looking at it now, he was just hanging on.
Compared to the Nascent Soul True Monarch, he was like a far removed descendant.
“Although our One Ancestor of the Longevity Sect has lived for more than 1,800 years and belongs to the same generation as that old freak of Yingyue Sect, he cultivates the “Longevity Skill” after all, and should be able to live until at least 2,500 years, right?
He could outlast the death of that old freak from Yingyue Sect.”
Guan Le said with a smile on his face, uttering words full of empty praise, skilled in the art of praising and belittling simultaneously.
“That’s true…”
“Indeed, this is Longevity Sect.”
Shehu and Bian Chen both agreed, a sense of pride evident in their voices.
Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators may only live for 200 years, but those from our true Changchun Sect could live at least 250 years.
Longevity Sect members living to 270 years was not uncommon.
Ordinary Golden Core Great Cultivators may only live 800 years, but those from Longevity Sect could live a normal life for 1,000 years, and if they could hold on a little longer, they could even reach 1,100 years before peaceful death.
Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators have an even greater advantage.
Normal Nascent Souls only live for 2,000 years, but those from Longevity Sect reaching 2,500 is not surprising.
Listening to these people sing praises, Chen Dengming smiled agreeably, but in his heart, he thought how these old members didn’t mention the shortcomings of Longevity Sect and Changchun Sect’s Cultivation Techniques and only spoke about the advantages.
He was no longer a novice in the Cultivation World anymore and understood that every advantage has its disadvantages.
The Longevity Sect’s longevity cultivation techniques could prolong life, but the Spiritual Elements cultivated were often too mild to compare to other top Sects in battles.
For instance, the Heavenly Righteous Skill from Heavenly Dao Sect cultivated a grand and powerful Heavenly Dao Qi, which acted as powerful deterrent against the Evil Qi cultivated by western region demon cultivators, directly suppressing and sweeping them away.
Similarly, the Qingming Qi cultivated from the “Dark Green Abyss Skill” by the Shu Sword Pavilion was sharp and powerful, unbeaten amongst evils, able to shatter ten thousand spells with one strike, truly formidable.
“Ah, there’s no need to talk more about our advantages.
In short, brothers, you just need to understand that we should try to avoid reckless bravery, cherish our hard-earned lifespan, the longer we live, the more opportunities we’ll have!”
Liang Yunsheng, being more understanding, came around to the main point after a moment of sentimentality.
He began sharing some information he had gained, and his guesses, to return to the main topic.
“In my opinion, the Grand Ancestor of Yingyue Sect is likely aware that his end is near, and someone has tempted him with an offer too good to refuse.
Willingly manipulated by others, he chose to betray his own Eastern Region and Sect.”
Chen Dengming and the others listened, their faces filled with shock.
What kind of benefits could persuade an old monster nearing the end of his lifespan to risk his life?
Could it be prolonging his life?
This was simply impossible, unless one could find legendary myths such as No Life Flower, Netherworld Dark Fruit, or Heavenly LingZhi; or find a divine beast and consume its blood.
But could those items even be found, and would an old monster who had lived for so long be so easily hoodwinked?
Guan Le couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Brother Liang, is the person you mentioned who is controlling the Grand Ancestor of Yingyue Sect the same person from a hundred years ago?”
Liang Yunsheng nodded solemnly, “That person was referred to as the Demon Star.
You should have heard some of the rumors.
However, those events happened more than a hundred years ago, when I was just a Qi Cultivation novice.
These big events involving Nascent Soul True Monarchs were all hearsay.
I only roughly understand what happened.”
After a pause, Liang Yunsheng turned to Chen Dengming and said with a smile: “Brother Chen, since you also came from the Southern Region and passed through the outskirts of the Eastern Region, you must have heard of these stories from a hundred years ago, right?”
In response, Chen Dengming gave an awkward smile, “I won’t deny it, Senior Brother Liang, I have heard rumors.
But these tales from a hundred years ago are all roughly similar.
According to them, this Demon Star was said to have eliminated the YuanYing of Miaoyin Sect in his late Golden Core stage, subsequently kidnapping and causing the Grand Ancestor of Yingyue Sect to disappear.
The formidable power exhibited by this senior Demon Star was beyond my imagination…”
Guan Le and the others found their minds racing at Chen Dengming’s words, some lost in their own fantasies.
To imagine one of them, in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, defeating a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was unthinkable to them.
A late-stage Golden Core cultivator who could defeat a Nascent Soul – how formidable would that individual need to be?

Even a high-level Golden Core stage Sword Cultivator from Shu Sword Pavilion would not be able to withstand one of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs from Longevity Sect.
“What I learned corresponds to what you’ve heard, Brother Chen.”
Liang Yunsheng nodded slightly, then said, “But recently, I have learned more detailed information from our elders…”
Chen Dengming perked up at this.
Demon Star and he both hailed from Nanxun, so any information about Demon Star naturally caught his interest.
“Rumor has it that Demon Star is somehow connected to the five lost Dao Orthodoxies of the Cultivation World.
It is very likely that he received some portion of a Dao Orthodoxy’s inheritance, leading to his extraordinary strength.
This caught the attention of the major sects like the Yingyue Sect, Miaoyin Sect, and Escaping World Sect.”
