Chapter 702: 299: Valley Sacrifice Hidden Dry Bones, Old Alley Impermanence Hooks Ghosts (Requesting Votes)_1 Chapter 702: 299: Valley Sacrifice Hidden Dry Bones, Old Alley Impermanence Hooks Ghosts (Requesting Votes)_1 With a heavy heart, Chen Dengming walked out of the Hazardous Hall.
Uncle Master Su was trying to procure a better cultivation environment and additional time for him.
However, the wind keeps blowing even when the tree wishes to remain still.
Even if he can seize the opportunity and time, to cultivate, given the current situation, the future time and development space that can be utilized, is gradually diminishing.
What’s the point of all the fighting?
Wouldn’t it be good if everyone cultivated in their own little field?
Wouldn’t it be nice if there were no conflicts?
...
Why risk losing all possessions and life for the sake of cultivation and power amidst the exhausting combat?
This question, in fact, many people have asked.
But, it’s the most naive.
As the law of the jungle is survival of the fittest, the marine laws see the bigger fish devour the smaller, the Cultivation World works the same way.
An adult blue whale needs to consume around seven tons of small fish in a day to survive.
But how much Spiritual Energy does a cultivator who has transcended divinity need to absorb with one breath to sustain him?
Perhaps what such powerful beings require is not just spiritual energy, but the precious Dao Force left behind by the Immortal.
When Dao Force is scarce, natural competition arises, and the ripple effect of the intent of these top powers, without lifting a finger themselves, has already swept through the Four Oceans, the Four Regions, and beyond.

“Taoist son…”
A voice echoed from below as he was about to touch down on a mountain path.
Chen Dengming looked down and saw Jade Cauldron True Monarch, Ye Yong, flying upwards, stretching his hands nervously.
“Taoist son, sigh, remembering the past when we fought together against the Blazing Blood Demon in the Wilderness, all those experiences seemed to have vanished with time, yet so many years have passed…”
Chen Dengming was stunned, looking at Jade Cauldron True Monarch who suddenly started reminiscing the old times.
With his life experience, he could perceive that Ye had something to request but didn’t know how to bring it up, so he resorted to reminiscing about their single past battle to get closer.
Chen Dengming chuckled slightly, gratifying him,”Yes, back then, I was a greenhorn.
If it weren’t for Elder Ye who arrived just in time, I wouldn’t have survived and attained my current achievements…”
“Oh, you’re too kind, Taoist son…”
Jade Cauldron True Monarch waved his hands while his face was lit up with a smile.
Relieved, he secretly praised the Taoist son for being modest and polite, knowing that his one vote for Taoist son during the Longevity Seed election wasn’t wasted.
“Is there something you need, Elder Ye?” Chen Dengming bluntly interjected.
“Ah…
yes.
It’s not something major, just a matter…”
Ye Yong chuckled dryly; he quickly spat out the favor he had.

Moments later, amidst Ye Yong’s grateful announcement, Chen Dengming rejected his offering of thanks and left.
Jade Cauldron True Monarch actually requested his help to investigate an incident involving Demon Cultivation rituals using one of his incarnations.
This matter was risky, so it wasn’t appropriate to invite others for help.
Investigating alone wasn’t prudent enough, and that’s why he asked Chen Dengming’s help using his Incarnation.
Even if the Incarnation sacrifices, the loss is not significant, making it better than the Sect directly losing a False Core.
Naturally, Chen Dengming was willing to agree.
However, this was all because of Jade Cauldron’s reputation.
If it had been anyone else, Chen Dengming may not have agreed to sell this favor as creating an Incarnation required expenditure of Dao Force.
Additionally, he was quite interested to see the Demon Cultivators recently wreaking havoc in the Four Oceans.
It was rumored that their power was strange, causing people to go mad inexplicably, and transform into one amongst them in the Magical Way.
Such peculiar conditions needed to be understood, for knowing oneself and one’s enemy is essential for survival.

“After only a year of peaceful cultivation, it seems like the days of peace are about to end…
Fortunately, Uncle Master Su said there’s still time.”
Chen Dengming’s eyebrows furrowed, “If there is indeed a counterattack, cultivators like me who came out of the Four Regions will inevitably be at the forefront.”
Seeing that his cave dwelling was just up ahead, Chen Dengming slowed down his pace and landed on the mountain path contemplating.
He didn’t want his present mood to influence his sister, He Yingyu.
He reconsidered; from his point of view as a small character with no grand ambitions, thinking just from the perspective of self-interest, he was not very eager to return home early.
After all, he was self-aware that his strength was still very low.
With power lesser even than Nascent Soul, returning to fight in the Four Regions in the future would be precarious indeed.
Such matters are decided by the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance, and even the Elders of his Sect may not necessarily have a say, let alone him.
He doubted how many people in the Longevity Sect wanted to go back, perhaps there were quite a few as it was the inherent hometown for many where they had lived since childhood.
But for him, the emotions tied to the Four Regions might not be as deep as they are for Nanxun.
He had only cultivated for seventeen years in the Four Regions, whereas he had lived in Nanxun for over eighty years.
Now, the Longevity Sect has finally gained a foothold overseas, owning a Level Four Spirit Vein Blessed land for cultivation, and has developed many affiliated forces.
If they really had to go back, they might likely to lose these hard-earned resources.
“What a pity, the Ancestors haven’t returned yet, otherwise our Sect would have had a lot more say in the matter…
Now we can only wait and see how the seniors in the Four Regions fare within the alliance…”
Chen Dengming thought of the Divine Sword Dao Monarch from the Shu Sword Pavilion, the Five Elements Taoist Mutonach from Five Elements Escape Sect, and elders from Qu Shenzong.
These Deity Transformation Dao Lords couldn’t possibly sit back and watch their own people suffer, they had to intervene.
He was just a Golden Core cultivator, why was he worrying about things that were not his business?
