Chapter 438: 203: I choose Uncle Chen to be the Longevity Seed!
Fight against Qiao Zhaoxian_1 Chapter 438: 203: I choose Uncle Chen to be the Longevity Seed!
Fight against Qiao Zhaoxian_1 In response to Qiao Zhaoxian’s challenge, Chen Dengming ultimately chose to politely refuse, leading to his opponent leaving with regret.
If there were a real battle, he could return to the sect and record Qiao Zhaoxian’s information in the Fantastical True Cave.
There was no need for him to agree to an on-the-spot battle with his opponent.
If it were a pretend battle, he would be restricted and unable to unleash his full capabilities.
Yet if it were a real battle, he would expose more of his cards.
...
Qiao Zhaoxian would gain more valuable information after the fact and record it in the Heavenly Dao Sect’s equivalent to the Fantastical True Cave.
His entire strategy would be thoroughly analyzed by the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Now that his war accomplishments had been confirmed, Chen Dengming had no intention of staying in the war zone any longer.
After He Yingyu returned, he left with people like Yang Zidao on the sect’s Spirit Boat.
Sect’s Golden Core great cultivator, Zhu Guangbiao needed to stay in the war zone for other tasks.
The journey was calm.
Taking a small Spirit Boat, they returned to the Longevity Sect within a day.
In front of the mountain gate, Golden Core great cultivators of the Longevity Sect, Gongsun Zai and the Jade Cauldron True Monarch, waited with numerous disciples to welcome them.
Seeing Chen Dengming and others disembarking from the Spirit Boat, smiles immediately appeared on their faces as they went up to greet him.
“Welcome back, war heroes of the Longevity Sect!”
“Nephew Chen, you are amazing!
You truly brought honor to our Longevity Sect this time.”
After Gongsun Zai and others gave a round of pleasant speeches, they all turned their gaze to Chen Dengming, lavishing praise on him with smiles.
The disciples that followed watched Chen Dengming with admiration, generating a warm atmosphere.
It had been a long time since a disciple of the Longevity Sect had received this much attention.
Though being in the limelight went against the Longevity Sect’s principles, it didn’t mean the members of the sect didn’t yearn for a Sect figurehead.
However, they once lacked the ability and couldn’t produce such talents.
Now it was a different story.
“You martial uncles are too kind.”
Chen Dengming responded with a polite smile as usual.
He felt slightly wearied by these greetings and thought they were rather bland.
When he was first admired and praised by the Golden Core great cultivator, he was flattered, excited, and somewhat proud.
However, after being praised and admired so many times, he had grown accustomed to it and the initial excitement had faded.
But to avoid seeming arrogant, he pretended to be excited and exchanged polite greetings with the two Golden Core elders of the sect.
Seeing Chen Dengming’s sensible behavior, Jade Cauldron True Monarch and Gongsun Zai found him even more pleasing to the eye.
This Nephew Chen was good.
Despite being so powerful that he could kill a Golden Core, he remained respectful towards them, calling himself ‘little Chen’.
He was indeed a promising talent.
Unlike some, who after gaining strength, immediately forgot to respect their elders.
Jade Cauldron True Monarch looked at Chen Dengming and said with a sigh, “Your war merits have been recorded in the Merit Hall, and you can check them out today.
As these are war merits, you can directly exchange them for items in the alliance’s Hall of Merit, and the sect will be responsible for transferring the items over to you.”
He then looked at the others and said, “You are the same.
After you have rested, you can all take a look.”
After all had thanked and laughed, they returned to the sect together.
Jade Cauldron True Monarch and Gongsun Zai were left behind, exchanging a glance and communicating with their divine senses.
“What do you think?”

“I can’t tell unless we cross hands.
But judging from the images returned by the Audio-Visual Bead, I fear…,”
Gongsun Zai shook his head and sighed as he looked at Chen Dengming’s retreating figure.
“Last time, this little Chen visited me with some gifts,”
The Jade Cauldron True Monarch shot Gongsun Zai a sideways glance, thinking to himself that he was the one who saved this kid last time.
Only a short time had passed, and the Blazing Blood Demon, whom he could not defeat, was challenged and defeated by this kid.
The sight of that one strike that split open the enemy’s belly, filled him with a sense of dread.
…
At this moment,
Over ten thousand disciples staying within the Longevity Sect’s thirteen peaks were all watching Chen Dengming’s return.
Seeing Chen Dengming with his recognizable tuft of white hair in the center of the crowd, the disciples were excited and started discussing amongst themselves.
“That’s Uncle Chen.
He is indeed extraordinary and far superior to others.
No wonder he can kill a Golden Core demon cultivator.”
“Now, when we go out in front of the cultivators from the Heavenly Dao Sect and Shu Sword Pavilion, we can straighten our backs.
Do they have anyone in their sect who has defeated a Golden Core while still at the False Core stage?”
“I think the seed of longevity for the next term should be Uncle Chen.
If it comes to a vote, I will vote for Uncle Chen.”
When the seed of longevity was mentioned, many disciples became excited.
“That’s right!
Uncle Chen is currently the strongest False Core cultivator in our Longevity Sect.
He is the top one beneath the Golden Core.
Choosing him as the seed of longevity, we can have a sense of pride.”
“I also choose Uncle Chen.
Once Uncle Chen becomes the Longevity Seed, our disciples in the Longevity Sect could surpass the Heavenly Dao Sect.”
All the disciples of the Longevity Sect covering the whole mountain range were supposedly there to watch the heroes who had returned from the battle, but in reality, they were all there to see Chen Dengming.
The rise of a genius with such astonishing combat prowess from the Longevity Sect was indeed a rare phenomenon, greatly boosting the morale and unity of the sect.
To know of a False Core killing a Golden Core was quite the rarity, with only seven or eight cases documented in the history of the cultivation world in the Four Regions.
Qiao Zhaoxian gained great fame and respect among the disciples of Heavenly Dao Sect, just by escaping from a Golden Core cultivator many times.
He was even considered as a candidate for the Daoist post.
Many disciples from the Longevity Sect thought it was only right and proper for Chen Dengming to be selected as the seed of longevity.
However, human hearts are complex.
Beneath this extreme popularity, there were naturally some who were uncomfortable with Chen Dengming, especially the False Core cultivators who also wanted to compete for the seed of longevity.
