Better to lead as a rooster than to follow as a phoenix.
Chen Dengming understood Qiu Feng’s meaning.
He had to go to the Longevity Sect, but there was no rush.

The Longevity Sect has more Foundation Establishment cultivators and even many False Core cultivators, making the competition fiercer.
It was better to remain a treasured disciple here at the Changchun Sect until he became a False Core cultivator, and then move on.
The resources and cultivation techniques of the Changchun Sect could support disciples only up to the Complete Foundation Establishment stage.
In the future, if he wanted to learn more advanced third-tier cultivation techniques and own a three-level spiritual vein cave mansion, he would have to go to the Longevity Sect.
...
After a long chat, Chen Dengming felt his doubts had been cleared and he was no longer anxious.
After bidding farewell to Sect Leader Qiu, he went to visit Liang Yunsheng to compensate for the damaged sect spirit boat.
Liang Yunsheng handled the matter with great humanity, once again making him appreciate the kindness of the Changchun Sect.
“Generally speaking, since you are now prosperous, I should ask for full compensation.
But the spirit boat of our sect has been used for over a dozen years.
It’s not fair to charge you for a new one, so you should compensate with 130 high-quality spirit crystals.”
Did he mean the fortune Chen Dengming received from Han Yongxu or his current relationship with Sister He?
Chen Dengming pretended not to understand any hidden meaning in Liang Yunsheng’s words and extended his thumbs-up in thanks, “Senior Brother Liang, you are generous and open-minded!”
Liang Yunsheng waved his hand dismissively, “Don’t act coy after benefiting from this.
The sect leader also agreed.
I will need to arrange for funds from the sect to get a new spirit boat.
I won’t lend it to you again.”
Chen Dengming chuckled, pulled out his storage bag, and readily handed over the 130 high-quality spirit crystals.
Liang Yunsheng’s eyes lit up as he noticed more spirit crystals in Chen Dengming’s bag.
He laughed and praised, “Aha, Brother Chen, it seems Junior Sister He has entrusted you with the finances…
I reckon you are richer than the cultivators who used to mock you for being poor.
When are you and Junior Sister He planning to send out the wedding invitations?”
“Senior Brother Liang, you jest.
We are both focusing on breakthrough to the Complete Foundation Establishment stage, everything else is on hold for now.
”
“That won’t do.”
Liang Yunsheng frowned, “Junior Sister He is like my own sister.
Brother Chen, this delaying tactic won’t work with me…
I suggest you take care of it before the two of you go to the Longevity Sect.
Wouldn’t I worry if only one of you went to the Longevity Sect first?”
Chen Dengming paused, then immediately understood his meaning.
He was worried that once Chen was exposed to the outside world of the Longevity Sect, he might lose interest in Sister He.
He laughed, “Brother, don’t you trust me?
I’m not like that.”
“Enough, child.
Of course, I trust you.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have supported you from the beginning.
But don’t let me down.
I’ll discuss it with Sister He later…”
Chen Dengming laughed yet felt warmed.
He liked the environment at the Changchun Sect, reminiscent of life in the 1980s.
Senior Brother Liang, indeed, was a man of sincerity.
…
When he returned to his cave mansion, He Yingyu had cooked a pot of fish soup with an invigorating aroma.
Xu Wei was busy setting up the bowls and chopsticks.
She looked graceful wearing an apron, much like a charming wife.
The little paper doll could no longer eat anything but remained optimistic and cheerful every day, cherishing every precious moment.
Looking at Xu Wei pouring the soup, he seemed to recall the early days when he would hang fish he had caught on the eaves of her house.
Back then, catching even a common spiritual fish was challenging, unlike now where he had an abundance of food.
Remembering the hardships made him appreciate the present more.
But so much had changed over time.
Chu Xun was dead, now a fierce ghost and his spiritual wisdom had not yet recovered.
Luo Bing had been cursed as a furnace tripod, Xi’er died at his hands, and Xu Wei had little life energy left…
Maybe decades from now, the relentless passage of time would erase many familiar faces.
This was something he could not prevent…
Once, his heart demons had wreaked havoc, questioning his attachment to people around him.
If Chu Xun had become a soul ghost, he should let him disperse into the universe.
If Xu Wei chose to end her life, he should let her do so, and die filled with regret.
After much questioning, Chen Dengming could only find one answer in his heart.
The eternal life he was constantly seeking was the Dao of Immortality laced with emotions, not unfeeling.
Saving Chu Xun and restoring his spiritual wisdom was a piece of cake for him, and it would rekindle their brotherhood.
Saving Xu Wei by prolonging her life for more than a decade was also easy for him.
It would let Xu Wei live for another decade without regrets.
He realized that all he ever wanted was to live without regrets and not leave any loose ends.
This made life complete and free of guilt.
Only when he led life so could he not squander his long lifespan and make the cold passage of time warm.
Chen Dengming found the fish soup of the day especially sweet, making the path of cultivation feel more life-like and warm.
He hoped when he reached the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, or even the Divine Transformation stages, he would not forget the warmth of this soup…
Unknowingly, his spirit became even more crystal clear.
It felt like he could easily enter the state of Unity of Heaven and Man without transitioning slowly through the state of tranquility.
