_3 Chapter 286: 143: With the might of the Nascent Soul overwhelming, who can alter the Immortal Longevity Path?
_3 “Thankfully, it’s only a tattered residual curse soul, struggling to survive and transform into an evil curse, all its actions are driven by emotions and desires, without enough wisdom and logic…
But it seems to be very interested in you, and Han Yongxu didn’t even notice…”
“Evil curse!?”
A chill ran down Chen Dengming’s spine.
An evil curse that even the Longevity Ancestors are wary of?
As if sensing Chen Dengming’s thoughts, the Longevity Ancestor chuckled, “I, the ancestor, am not intimidated by a mere remnant curse soul.
If it wasn’t for your fiery temper earlier, insisting on me teaching Han Yongxu a lesson, I would’ve directly captured this pathetic old remnant curse soul and used it to brew tea.
...
It’s nothing at all!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming’s expression turned strange.
The Longevity Ancestor sighed again, “You’re a principled and righteous kid who has come into contact with the Human Immortal Dao System and has decent cultivation potential.
You are indeed a good candidate for the Longevity Seed.
Otherwise, Qiu Feng wouldn’t ask me to grant you a Longevity Command Token, a real Longevity Seed treatment.
Your Sect Leader seems very pleased with you.
But remember, our Longevity Sect has its own Heavenly Immortal Dao System.
Immortal longevity is the right path.
The Human Immortal path involves fighting and killing all day, with an incomplete Dao Orthodoxy.
What’s so good about it?
What you can attain is your good fortune.
Our Longevity Sect won’t refuse an additional Dao Orthodoxy, even if it is broken because we benefit from it.
That’s why we’re willing to give you the treatment of a Longevity Seed.”
Chen Dengming’s heart shook, admiration showing on his face.
This is what a grand scheme looks like.
Even the Miaoyin Sect, Escaping World Sect, Yingyue Sect and other sects are nearly fighting to death just for a Dao Orthodoxy.
Even after a Nascent Soul Ancestor was killed by the Demon Star and enslaving one person, they still eagerly pursue it.
There is nothing else for them but the relentless struggle for the Dao.
It’s a brutal reality where they are willing to die for enlightenment.
But after joining the Changchun Sect, he has always been fearful and anxious about revealing his identity from Nanxun or any troublesome relationship with the Demon Star.
Turns out, the group of old tortoises in the Longevity Sect, including the Sect Leader, has long known that he came from Nanxun.
Moreover, regarding the Human Immortal Dao System, the Longevity Sect is quite content if their own disciple possesses it.
They won’t scramble to snatch it, being a family, what’s yours is mine, all thanks to the Dao Orthodoxy.
It’s not just lip service about being broad-minded, they genuinely are.
Upon thinking of this, the regret and a bit of resentment from Han Yongxu’s escape gradually faded away.
“Ah?
That’s how you should think.”
At this point, the Longevity Ancestor said, “It’s not in vain that I stepped in on your behalf this time.
Consider it as relieving your anger.”
According to the rules, without concrete evidence, I am not allowed to act against Han Yongxu.
Moreover, it’s meaningless to act.
You don’t think that I, as a split soul, can personally kill a late-stage Golden Core cultivator from thousands of miles away, do you?
Ah, such naïvety!
Without concrete evidence and inability to kill directly, it’s best not to act.
“However, considering that you, a child from the mortal world, have been targeted, it’s a negligence on our sect’s part.
I didn’t expect the Miaoyin Sect to dare to commit such a taboo act and even sent someone to the shattered Cursed Land…
tsk, tsk, tsk, their lust for benefits has truly blinded and driven them mad.”
“In such a situation, even without concrete evidence, as long as there is suspicion, I am willing to understand.
Hence the pretense of manipulating the ghost to frame and taking action accordingly.”
“But as you saw, I can’t kill Han Yongxu, this time I acted on your personal behalf.
“The vengeance with Miaoyin Sect, you’ll have to become stronger and resolve it yourself in the future.
Then, you don’t need any evidence, if you feel resentment, then there is resentment.
Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.
Even if they glance at you in a crowd, that’s grounds for a grudge…”
Initially gloomy, Chen Dengming was almost amused by the Longevity Ancestor’s humor, which also warmed his heart a bit.
Indeed, the sect willing to send a Nascent Soul True Monarch’s split soul to protect him is already extravagant and unexpected treatment.
In the end, despite not obtaining substantial evidence, they were willing to fabricate evidence and heavily injure Han Yongxu.
It seemed they really went out of their way to protect and comfort him.
If he continued to demand more, it would seem unreasonable.
He was taking himself too seriously.
However, the incident involving his descendants this time was definitely orchestrated by the Miaoyin Sect, and Han Yongxu was unavoidable involved.
Anyone who harms his descendants would be considered as his mortal enemy.
Even if the child did not die, he would swear to make Old Dog Han pay with his blood.
He vowed to have a place for Old Dog Han in his Soul Banner.
“Eh?
I’ve said so much yet you haven’t responded, boy.
Are you dissatisfied with the Sect?”
The second ancestor of Longevity, who had been rambling, asked suspiciously.
Chen Dengming was taken aback but quickly responded modestly, “Ancestor, those are heavy words.
I am grateful and couldn’t possibly be dissatisfied.
The main reason was because you asked me not to speak, so I silently listened to your teachings.”
The second ancestor of Longevity paused, recalling his words.
It seemed that he had indeed asked the boy not to speak first.
“This little one, very obedient.
Good, I like.
It’s safe now.
We are so far away that Old Dog Han’s evil curse shouldn’t be able to reach us.
Now go back.”
The second ancestor of Longevity smiled, enveloping Chen Dengming with his divine sense spiritual energy and letting him descend.
All this happened in the duration of time it took to brew a pot of tea.
The two of them had already covered a distance of seven to eight hundred miles.
As soon as Chen Dengming landed in a forest, he saw the Longevity Command Token in front of him slowly cracking open.
Spiritual light rushed out from within it, making it seem like it was about to be scrapped.
He felt a pang in his heart, quickly bowed deeply in respect, and said, “Disciple bids farewell to the Ancestor!
Thank you for your help today!”
“The young one knows his manners, and we’ll meet again in the future if fate allows.”
Gathering his courage, Chen Dengming asked, “Ancestor, how can one truly become a Longevity Seed?
Perhaps this way, the disciple can often meet you through the Longevity Command Token and continue to learn from your teachings.”
Upon hearing this, the second ancestor of Longevity laughed heartily.
It had been many years since he last had such frequent conversations with a disciple.
Although he had heard flattering words many times before, he still found it amusing.
“To truly become a Longevity Seed, you need to demonstrate a strength greater than that of your Sect Leader Qiu Feng.
He was once a candidate for the Longevity Seed, thus considered half my disciple, but unfortunately, he was not selected…
otherwise, he would have been my disciple.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Longevity Command Token ‘pop’ exploded into a cloud of wood element spiritual energy and dissolved.
“To truly become a Longevity Seed?”
Chen Dengming was deep in thought.
He turned around and gazed in the direction of Jiamu Pass, his eyes flashing with a cold and ruthless killing intent.
“Han Yongxu of the Miaoyin Sect, a Golden Core stage…”
A glint passed through Chen Dengming’s eyes.
A strange feeling rose in his heart as he remembered the Ancestors’ warning about Old Dog Han’s sneaky residual evil thoughts, which even Han Yongxu had not noticed.
Why had such a thing appeared on Luo Bing, and why had it been fixated on him from the start?
Just as he pondered this, he suddenly felt a chill coming from the Soul Attracting Banner in his hand.
Like being shocked by electricity, it quickly spread throughout his entire body.
Instantly, his scalp tingled, and his hair stood on end.
A chill spread from his spine to his neck and throughout his entire body.
His vision darkened, and his body seemed to sink downwards.
His mind buzzed, as though he was staring into the dark, solitary, cold, and malicious eye of a giant…
…
