The Path of Longevity!
Shooting and injuring the Nascent Soul old dragon then escaping_1 With a Deity Transformation making its move, the stars and moon in the heavens seemed to dim, and the Heavenly Dao Sect was on the verge of extinction.
At the same time, the Longevity Sect and the Shu Sword Pavilion had activated their Mountain Protection Arrays, with an intense surge of power shrouding the sects as if they were facing formidable enemies.
At the peak of the clouds outside the two top-tier sects, there sat Deity Transformation Dao Lords, whose formidable presences enveloped their respective territories.
...
In the cloud layer outside the Longevity Sect, colorful surges of sword lights, overwhelming as ocean waves, filled the area.
The Sword Qi, composed of the Five Element Spiritual Energy – Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth – was as if embedded with colourful beads on stacked treasures swords, illuminating the sky with myriad colours, like a dazzling roll of coloured ink painting, which made the violet night sky extraordinarily gorgeous.
Onlookers could make out the Thirteen Peaks of Longevity appearing like thirteen fairies draped in a rainbow of clouds, their allure wrapped in deadly danger.
This place had seamlessly crystalized into a terrifying Sword Domain, encapsulating a complete cycle of the Five Element Sword Qi, sealing off the vast sky and the limitless earth, standing profound, mysterious and abyss-like.
The figure presiding here was none other than the Five Elements Sword Sovereign of the Northern Region’s Five Elements Sword Sect.
Outside the Shu Sword Pavilion, though winter had not yet fully arrived, a heavy snowfall had already begun.
Dense snowflakes drifted down like a woven white net, casting a foggy scene between heaven and earth.
The biting wind sent chills that pierced to the bone as the temperature plummeted drastically.
In the white fog, a majestic giant made of what seemed like ice crystal was seen with frosty cold air dispersing around his body, accompanied by flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder.
The snow covering the heavens and earth seemed to have been caused by the cold air he was emanating.
Inside the Shu Sword Pavilion, countless disciples looked at the majestic figure in the clouds beyond the Mountain Protection Array, which was reflecting the harsh cold and ice crystal light.

It felt as if they were not facing a person, but a freezing moon capable of freezing everything.
The terrifying aura that accompanied the snowfall from the clouds felt bizarre, chilling their eyes and hearts, like the intense sun burns one’s eyes.
It was indeed the Heavenly Crystal Dao Monarch, of the Frost Snow Body Sect.
The dreadful pressure of Deity Transformation felt as profound and suffocating as a deep abyss and prison.
These two Deity Transformations neither made an attack nor left; their goal was to prevent the Longevity Taoist Lord and Divine Sword Dao Monarch from assisting the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Once the Heavenly Dao Sect was destroyed, it would mean the collapse of the strongest pillar in the Eastern Region.
For the entire Eastern Region and even the Southern Region alliance, it would be a devastating blow to the morale of their troops.
This would signal the end of an era, and the Four Regions would soon enter the next era.
The prevailing forces ruling the Four Regions would also have to reorganize and redistribute their influences.
“Old turtle…
can’t you see the situation clearly yet?”
At this moment, outside the Longevity Sect, a voice full of chilling sword intent spread through the air, as if a sharp sword was about to split a corner of heaven and earth.
Five Elements Sword Sovereign, sitting amidst the endless colours of Sword Qi, was sensing the situation at the Heavenly Dao Sect far away.
Knowing that the Mountain Protection Array of Heavenly Dao Sect couldn’t last long under the invasion of the Heavenly Demon, he casually said, “You used to be fairly astute, yet this time you’re so stubbornly ignorant?
This Sovereign advises you, don’t expect to be able to delay time for the Five Elements Taoist to save the Qu Shenzong.
He already can’t get out.
If the Five Elements Taoist doesn’t recognize his circumstances, he will be trapped in the curtain and find it hard to get out.”
As his words spread out, the faces of the previously composed First and Second Ancestors of the Longevity Sect suddenly changed, looking grave.
They also knew that the Northwest Two Realms, which delayed until today to officially start the war, were mainly also waiting for the opportunity.
If the war broke out at the time when Qu Shenzong was lured away, it would not give them the chance to prepare for evacuation.
Yet the opportunity came when Five Elements Taoist went to help Qu Shenzong, at which point he vanished.
At this rate, the Southeastern Two Realms would be down one Deity Transformation – the best moment for the Northwest Two Realms to invade.
However, the news of the Five Elements Taoist’s stealthy departure was hardly noticed by anyone.
How could the Northwest Two Realms be so sure?
It seemed they had already made plans and were ready.
Seeing that the Original Ancestor of Longevity was still keeping the thousands-of-years-old-turtle act, not uttering a word, Five Elements Sword Sovereign gave a cold snort of laughter in his heart.
The advantage of time was on their side, now they were just boiling the frog in warm water, in his heart, he had already sentenced the Longevity Sect to death.
This old turtle, the Longevity Original Ancestor, might still have the ability to escape, but the orthodoxy of the Longevity Sect would then fall into his hands and those of the Heretic Immortals backing him.
The rest of the sects must be eradicated cleanly.
This could achieve the final goal of launching the war.
Among the Southeastern Two Realms right now, Putuo Buddha Monarch astutely chose to stand idly by.
The lineage of his Buddhism was profound and far-reaching; not only him, but even the Heretic Immortals were not interested and unwilling to bear the karma of Buddhism.
Moreover, Vajra Potala Sect had deep ties with the World Buddha of Xumi Island in the Beiling Sea.
As long as Putuo Buddha Monarch himself did not intervene, they were willing to maintain peace and not infringe upon each other, thereby eliminating a major threat.
On the other hand, with the absence of the Five Elements Taoist at this time, it had certainly determined the outcome of this war, stirred up by the Northwestern Two Realms.
Once the Heavenly Dao Sect was destroyed, next in line would be the Longevity Sect and the Shu Sword Pavilion.
Other sects, without a Deity Transformation Dao Lord, were not a worry at all.
…
Just as the Five Elements Sword Sovereign was leisurely biding his time, waiting for the Heavenly Dao Sect to fall.
Inside the Longevity Sect, at this moment, the towering ginkgo tree rained down light imbued with spiritual energy, and numerous leaves rustled in the spiritual light.
The movement in this birthplace of Dao Orthodoxy immediately alerted the First and Second Ancestors.
The two of them were shocked, and abruptly, they both received a transmission from the Original Ancestor.
“Zhong Fu, Jiang Jian, gather all the disciples on the Longevity Peak, Evergreen Peak, and Everlasting Affection Peak as planned.”
Both, upon hearing this, although they did not understand what contingency the Original Ancestor still had at this time, proceeded to carry out the order promptly.
