Summer had passed in a blink, giving way to the season of cool autumn wind.
Chen Dengming had also crossed the threshold of his 93rd birthday.
This autumn year, the war between the Eastern and Western Regions was becoming increasingly intense.
Even the Sects in the Northern and Southern Regions got involved.
Legends say that the second ancestor of the Heavenly Dao Sect was startled out of seclusion.
He travelled far to the Demon Country and slayed two grand figures of the Magical Way.
...
Even the famous lord of the Nightmare Kingdom suffered a heavy blow.
However, while the various Eastern Region Sects were in high spirits, a person claiming to be a Lord appeared in the Western Region’s Demon Cults.
His aura surpassed even that of the Demon Child of the Sky Demon Sect and the Demon Lord who had been in hiding for many years.
“A Lord…?”
In an orchid pavilion of the Longevity Sect, a few people sat around a warm wine stove, discussing this mysterious “Lord.” Among them, a man with a stern countenance and white hair on his temples frowned with confusion.
Another round-faced Daoist, pouring wine, said, “Senior Brother Chen, this Lord defeated the second ancestor of the Heavenly Dao Sect with his own strength and then drove off two elders from the Shu Sword Pavilion.
This has halted our eastern Sects’ advance in the Western Region.”
“It’s due to this man’s sudden emergence that the situation of the war has once again changed.
Otherwise, why would we be having such headaches now?
The second ancestor of the Heavenly Dao Sect should at least be a True Monarch with a Complete Nascent Soul, right?
Only a Deity Transformation Dao Lord would be able to defeat him so easily…..
I fear the situation might worsen.”
“If a Deity Transformation starts to take action and a few more appear, the entire Four Regions will be dragged into this…..”
“Deity Transformation Dao Lords are unlikely to appear readily.
Every region has only three or four such powerhouses at most, perhaps even as few as one or two.”
“In the past many years, only two people in the Western Region have been rumored to be Deity Transformation Demon Monarchs – the Demon Lord of the Sky Demon Sect and the Mosha Country Lord of the Mosha Country.
As for this “Lord”…
It’s the first time I’ve heard of him.
Could it be that he’s the Demon Star who was suppressed by the joint forces of Sects such as the Yingyue Sect and the Miaoyin Sect all those years ago?”
Chen Dengming picked up a small clay cup of warmed spiritual wine, took a sip, and nodded.
“It is very likely him.”
Speaking these words, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of sentiment.
This old acquaintance really knew how to stir things up.
It is very possible that all the turmoil in the Eastern and Western Regions were orchestrated by this old acquaintance.
With every move, he disrupted the atmosphere of the Cultivation World in the Four Regions and affected everyone.
Sometimes, even if Chen wanted to keep a low profile and slowly develop, gather Daoist Script from the Human Immortal Ancient Palace stealthily to enhance his power, there wasn’t much he could do about this powerful and shocking old acquaintance.
The other party has already muddied the waters of the Four Regions, and Chen was just a small character trying to protect himself amidst it all.
Dongfang Huayuan, the Demon Star, was the one who started it all.
Sang Tianrong gulped down some wine to calm his shock, shook his head and sighed, “It seems that we won’t have easy days ahead, now that the second ancestor of the Heavenly Dao Sect has been defeated, he is recognised as our Eastern Region’s top expert.
Unless the rumored ancestor with the Heavenly Spiritual Root or other Deity Transformations make a move, it’ll be hard to reclaim any lost ground.
However, the current surviving Deity Transformation ancestors in various Sects have probably not made a move in over a thousand years already, and they may not do so this time either.”
“At this critical juncture, the Sects in the Southern and Northern Regions are also getting involved, eager to profit from the war and grab some resources.”
“The Sects in the Southern Region are all assisting us, while those in the Northern Region are helping the demon cultivators in the Western Region.
Next, our Longevity Sect will probably also be unable to avoid getting involved…”
“We’ll just have to take it step by step.”

Chen Dengming reassured his two junior brothers with a shake of his head, smiling, “We can’t oppose whatever decision the Sect makes, so it’s better to make necessary preparations while we’re not yet directly involved.”
“Junior Brother…”
At this moment, a soft and gentle voice was heard from the distance.
Sang Tianrong and his companion immediately rose to their feet, bowing respectfully in greeting.
“Sister-in-law!”
But in the midst of a flash of spiritual light, an elegant and dignified figure descended from the sky; it was He Yingyu.
Hearing Sang Tianrong and his companion’s respectful greeting, He Yingyu playfully scolded, “For you two, calling me Sister He is enough.
Calling me sister-in-law only makes me sound older…”
“That…
wouldn’t be good.”
“Yes, exactly!”
Upon hearing her words, Sang Tianrong and his companion laughed awkardly.
They didn’t dare to look at He Yingyu directly, for fear of offending her.
Calling her sister-in-law already made them nervous, calling her “Sister” would be even bolder of them.
It couldn’t be helped; in the Longevity Sect, there were only around 26 Great Cultivators with a False Core, and even fewer female cultivators.
Typically, Foundation Establishment male cultivators would feel inferior when encountering Fake Core female cultivators.
Not to mention, He Yingyu held a commanding presence with a noble gracefulness, possessing a certain authoritative air that did not allow others to offend her.
That Chen Dengming could have such a Dao companion was a matter of envy for many male cultivators in the Longevity Sect.
After all, which man would not want his woman to be dignified and dominant outdoors, yet tender and sweet at home?
The problem was that most men couldn’t find such a woman.
“Alright, don’t tease my junior brothers in front of me.
Let’s go home!”
Chen Dengming flew out of the orchid pavilion under the admiring gaze of Sang Tianrong and his companion.
He Yingyu shook her head with a smile, taking Chen Dengming’s arm and tsking, “You, always sneaking out to drink whenever you have free time.
Next time I’ll prepare a few dishes, and you can invite your junior brothers to drink at our residence, wouldn’t that be even better?”
Upon hearing this, Sang Tianrong and his companion were dumbfounded, hastily declining the offer.
