Chapter 613: 267: The Four Regions are in danger!
The calm haven (I have returned)_1 Chapter 613: 267: The Four Regions are in danger!
The calm haven (I have returned)_1 A month later, in the season of incessant autumn rain, the sky overshadowed the rooftops of the Longevity Sect like a dark cover, the mountain path was covered in sticky mud mixed with foamy water.
The running water licked the roots by the path, winding down the ditch.
The wisps of Longevity Incense, billowed from the incense burner in the square in front of the Longevity Hall on Longevity Peak, mixed in the misty rain.
Inside the incense burner, one of the incense sticks had already broken, casting a tense atmosphere.
Indeed, it was a critical moment for the Longevity Sect.
...
It was even arguably the most critical moment for the entirety of the Southeastern Two Realms.
In a short month, intense battles had broken out amongst the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators in the Four Regions.
After the second ancestor of Longevity, Jiang Jian, was severely injured in an ambush by the Sky Overriding Sword Monarch a month ago, the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Five Elements Escape Sect, Wu Shengyun, was also severely injured.
Subsequently, Nascent Soul Ancestors from Hualong Sect and Flowing Oriole Sect were ambushed one after another, fraught with risks.
Although there were also Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Blood Slaughter Sect and Moon Demon Sect in the Western Region who were injured in battles, overall, the northeastern two regions were at a disadvantage in terms of the number of injuries.
When the battles amongst the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators in the Four Regions had reached such a level, it seemed to signify that the final great war at the Divine Transformation level was about to break out.
Inside the Longevity Hall, at this moment, the five Golden Core Elders of the Longevity Sect were gathered together, discussing the next coping measures for the sect with the third ancestor, Su Yanyan.
Listening to the suggestions raised by several people, Su Yanyan nodded slightly, sweeping her gaze around and calmly said, “Although we should not be too pessimistic, we should also not be overly optimistic.
Looking at the current situation, the Five Elements Sword Sovereign and Heavenly Crystal Dao Monarch of the Northern Region, and the Heavenly Demon of the Western Region, have all probed our strengths and weaknesses.
In the next round of attacks organized by the northwestern two regions, these three Divine Transformation Dao Monarchs are very likely to make their move.”
Everyone was startled at these words, and Guan Chao nervously asked, “Third Uncle Master, about the Ancestor….”
This was a taboo topic, almost nobody dared to raise it lately, simply because the injury of the Ancestor was the sect’s top-secret, a matter of great interest to the opposing forces.
The betrayal of Zhu Guangbiao some time ago had also made the atmosphere within the Sect peculiar and sensitive.
As a result, Zhu Guangbiao was imprisoned in the Sect’s restraining formation, and his longevity incense was cut off.
The other Golden Core Elders in the Sect were also warned by this, remaining silent as cicadas in winter.
They seldom inquired about matters involving the sect’s secrets, just to avoid suspicion.
Su Yanyan shook her head and said, “Except for the One Ancestor, no one else knows the exact condition of the Ancestor’s injury.
But according to reliable intelligence gathered by Hualong Sect, the Five Elements Sword Sovereign had visited the Vajra Potala Sect for a sword commentate half a month ago and left safely afterwards.
The Vajra Potala Sect is calm and unrippled…”
Upon hearing this news from the third ancestor, everyone couldn’t help but change their expressions, feeling that something was amiss.
When faced with war, Putuo Buddha Monarch of the Vajra Potala Sect always maintained a detached attitude, not even the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Shu Sword Pavilion was allowed to visit.
The fact that he allowed the Five Elements Sword Sovereign to enter the Putuo Buddha Temple and then leave safely presented an intriguing attitude.
If such news were to spread at this sensitive time, it would inevitably severely impact the morale of the sects in the Northeastern Two Regions.
“It is better to depend on oneself than to seek help from Buddha.
These monks isolate themselves in times of chaos and observe from the sidelines.
When it is a prosperous era, they come out, proclaiming compassion and gathering followers.
The past thousand years have witnessed…”
Ran Yiqiang sighed and shook his head, mournfully saying, “Our Longevity Sect once flourished with twenty-eight Golden Cores, now only counting Brother Qiu, Brother Cheng, and Daozi, just the eight of us remains…

It is indeed the most critical moment for our Longevity Sect.
Master Su, how is the plan of Daozi preparing our escape route progressing?”
This sentence immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Longevity Daozi, Chen Dengming, had been away from the sect for some time now.
Although only Master Ran vaguely knew Chen Dengming’s mission, the other Elders were all shrewd and could guess part of the situation.
Upon hearing this, Su Yanyan furrowed her eyebrows, and for the first time a hint of relief appeared on her exquisitely calm face.
She nodded and spoke.
“Nephew Chen contacted me half a month ago.
He has achieved a phased success.
I am considering whether to reassign one of you to lead a group of disciples over….”
…
On the bank of the Ming River, surging water violently pounded the mountain cliffs.
On the mountain, within a cave temporarily excavated, Chen Dengming listened to the roar of the waves outside, but his mind was in close contact with an incarnation thousands of kilometers away.
After surviving the attack by Senluo’s descendant, Chen Dengming had been waiting outside the Land of the Fallen for nearly half a month.
He waited until Senluo’s descendant left before sending a new incarnation to explore the secret path.
He wasn’t sure if it was because Senluo’s descendant had caused too much of a ruckus, but from then on, the secret roads were all clear.
Not to mention a Ghost General, even the common GuiSui were hard to encounter.
Guided by the map, the incarnation made its way deeper, encountering only a little trouble near the end of the map.
However, under Chen Dengming’s tactic of continuously exploding soldiers, a procession of incarnations headed towards the secret path, solving some of the issues encountered along the way quickly.
Now, almost the entire secret path was explored.
“If nothing unexpected happens, today will be the day when the incarnation officially crosses the Land of Fallen and leaves the Four Regions…”
Chen Dengming looked at the map in his hand, tracking locations according to the map, looking at the position where the incarnation was on the route of the map, his suppressed mood of the past few days relaxed a bit in this moment.
