Xu Wei looked confused, “But Elder Brother Chen, what happened before was just an accident.
Accidents don’t happen all the time, do they?”

Chen Dengming stood up and put away the Bead of All Gold, shaking his head, “Some things are accidents, others are not.
If we stayed within the confines of the Longevity Sect, I wouldn’t have to worry too much, as accidents rarely occur within the sect and I can practice in peace until I reach the Golden Core Stage.
But now, even within the sect, they are organizing members to head to the battlefield, and it might be our turn soon…
Once beyond the sect’s boundaries, such accidents can occur at any time.
Hence, it’s not excessive for us to prepare as much as possible for safety.”
He Yingyu sighed quietly, acknowledging the reason in Chen Dengming’s words.
She knew that there was a Profane Ancestor from Miaoyin Sect who was constantly focused on Chen Dengming.
...
This malignant existence, even in death, was a headache for anyone who had caught its attention.
If Chen Dengming stayed within the Longevity Sect, he wouldn’t have to worry about this evil curse.
But if the Longevity Sect indeed intervenes in the upcoming war, they might have to leave the sect at any moment.
Caught up in a chaotic battlefield, they are potentially facing a threat akin to having a sharp sword hanging over their heads by this evil curse.
This is no less dangerous than being targeted by a powerful Golden Core cultivator.
Crucially, this kind of danger is something they can’t actively resolve or avoid, especially now that Chen Dengming has attained the Human Immortal Dao System…
All these underlying troubles they deliberately withhold from Xu Wei so that he can spend his potentially last six or seven years of life serenely.
“Junior Brother, I will do my best to craft a magic treasure before the sect assigns a mission.”
“Hmm, don’t put too much pressure on yourself, take your time.
What I said is just speculation.
The situation might not be as dire as we think…”
After consoling Xu Wei, Chen Dengming, dressed in his robe with Xu Wei’s help, immediately left the cave.
He mounted the Black Cloud Leopard and set off to inquire the latest news from his close peers within the sect.
Every significant event in the Longevity Sect is a test of the sect and an examination of its disciples.
The ultimate rewards for common disciples are the cultivation resources they need.
However, for those Great Cultivators in the sect who possess a False Core or Golden Core, the biggest prize from this evaluation is a membership to the exclusive Longevity Seed.
And by becoming a Longevity Seed cultivator, they are eligible to access the most valuable inheritance of the Longevity Sect—the Heavenly Immortal Dao Unification.
Therefore, within the Longevity Sect, some of the middle and upper echelons are members of the Main Battle Faction; not everyone is content with just maintaining a low profile in pursuit of immortality.
These individuals also hope to use each of the sect’s evaluations during significant events to elevate their status to that of a Longevity Seed cultivator and gain access to the Heavenly Immortal Dao Unification.
The late Changchun True Monarch Qiu Feng was actually a militant.
Unfortunately, it is rumored that he kept failing in his quest to become a Longevity Seed cultivator.
Despair and disillusionment led him to set up his own independent faction.
“I already have the Human Immortal Dao System…
It is better to have a single bird in hand than a forest full of birds.
Because of one Human Immortal Dao lineage, I have been involved in multiple troubles and am being targeted by the evil curse.
What I gain is naturally counterbalanced with what I lose.
This Heavenly Immortal Dao…
I can’t afford to get involved.”
Chen Dengming didn’t really want to get involved.
He was barely managing his current commitments.
Attaining the Human Immortal Dao System has already put him in several life-or-death situations, and he still hasn’t solved the issue with the evil curse.
There seemed to be no need to stir up more trouble and risk danger to attain the Heavenly Immortal Dao System.
Wouldn’t it be better to practice in peace and slowly enhance his strength?
With his ability to prolong his life through cultivation, he might even stand a chance to reach the Nascent Soul Stage or even achieve Divine Transformation.
Regrettably…
Even if he did not want to get involved, others in the sect did.
Chaos and troubles inevitably ensued, and he couldn’t remain isolated from them.
…
At this moment, the Black Cloud Leopard flew over Qingshou Peak.
A cool autumn moon was slowly rising over the slope, casting a chilling glow on the river beneath the mountain.
The moonlight seemed to flow over the water’s surface.
Chen Dengming took a deep breath of the crisp autumn air, silently overlooking the river beneath the mountain, feeling momentarily bewildered.
Back in Nanxun, he was determined to become a cultivator so that he could prolong his life and live longer.
By the time he arrived at this gathering place, he still wanted to become a cultivator.
The reasons were the same, compounded by the fact that he wanted to avoid contempt from other cultivators, maintain his dignity, and therefore he worked hard on cultivating.
Upon truly becoming a cultivator, he gradually formed more ambitions and desires.
Step by step he arrived at his current stage, with the Golden Core stage within reach…
What he has obtained now far surpasses his initial hopes, yet he discovers it’s still not enough.
He needs to cultivate to the Golden Core stage to potentially address the threat of the evil curse, and even then he might not be able to solve it.
Even becoming a Golden Core cultivator brings more desires and expectations, new pressures, encouraging him to strive for the Nascent Soul stage.
It seems like it never ends.
Isn’t this quite similar to his previous life?
When he was earning three thousand a month, he wished for a life earning five thousand.
When he started earning five thousand, he wanted ten thousand.
He found out that even ten thousand per month wasn’t enough!
Buying a house, buying a car, getting married, having kids, raising children, seeking promotion; these various desires and irritations seemed never-ending.
Each stage brought its own anxieties and pressures…
Upon this reflection, Chen Dengming felt a sudden clarity, even finding it somewhat amusing.
It turns out that the desires and worries in many stages of his previous life aren’t much different from those in this life as a cultivator.
They are completely similar.
So, why should he be anxious about the upcoming events and future threats?
Each stage has its own challenges and worries.
Just like in web novels, where the protagonist’s enemies tend to increase in number as their power grows.
This is actually normal.
When not in that particular stage yet, the circle of acquaintance is different.
The people and things encountered naturally vary too.
It makes sense.
The reason why he feels anxious now is because he has already borne the worries that a Golden Core cultivator would feel while still in the False Core stage.
This is naturally a cause for anxiety.
Having figured out the crux of his feelings of frustration, Chen Dengming felt a sudden clear-headedness, releasing a lot of the pressure he’d placed on himself.
The cool breeze blew, causing his white hair to flutter as he continued riding the leopard with clear thoughts.
The Changchun Skill, sparked by his improved state of mind, operated swiftly of its own accord.
The proficiency gauge in the system kept fluctuating and rapidly increasing.
All worries are but a moment’s illusion, only because one initially fails to comprehend them.
Who among the ancient and modern could attain true wisdom?
Let the mountain breeze and moonlight fill all directions…
