Chen Laodeng Draws Bow to Shoot the Great Dragon!
(5K for Monthly Votes)_2 “Haha, Sect Leader Chen has come from afar, and we have not met you as expected.
Please forgive us for any shortcomings!”
The leading cultivator, a Golden Core mid-stage cultivator with a ruddy face, laughed heartily and respectfully, bowing and cupping his fists from a distance.
“Ah, it turns out to be Elder Yue Shang Neng from Gourd Sword Island, I’ve long admired you!” Chen Dengming responded affably, raising his hand in return courtesy.
...
“Oh no, not at all!
It is actually your great reputation, Sect Leader Chen, that is truly revered and resounding far and wide!”
The very versatile Yue Shang Neng felt a faint spiritual might emanating from Chen Dengming, which even at a distance, made him feel an overwhelming pressure that compelled reverence, his compliments flowing more smoothly and sincerely.
He had not expected that Chen, who he had once met briefly during the accession ceremony at the Longevity Sect, had so quickly become a Golden Core Complete cultivator.
Moreover, from his profound and condensed aura, it was clear he had formed his Golden Body and was nurturing his Nascent Soul.
This was not simply entering Golden Core Completion and still lacking a Golden Body.
The next step would be stepping into the Nascent Soul stage.
He must not be taken lightly.

Chen Dengming, with a few Elders, flew over and exchanged a few courtesies with the adept Yue Shang Neng, praising each other, before starting to inquire about the situation of this place.
Only then did he learn that currently there was only a Dragon Beast Venerable from Dragon Spirit Island and Yue Shang Neng himself stationed here, with other cultivators mainly from Dragon Spirit Island and Gourd Sword Island.
“Now, this place is already considered a rear base with a Sealing Immortal Formation set up, so not many people are needed; the main forces have already entered the Four Regions for a counter-offensive.”
Yue Shang Neng explained cheerily, bowing and smilingly complimenting Chen Dengming.
“Now that you, Sect Leader Chen, are leading this fresh force to join the frontline, reclaiming the lost lands of the Eastern Region is just around the corner.
I offer my congratulations in advance!”
“Elder Yue is too kind, but I shall gladly accept your auspicious words!”
Chen Dengming responded with a slight smile, feeling quite favorably towards Yue Shang Neng.
Among the Immortal Dao Sects of the East Immortal Sea, it was rare to see such courteous behavior toward the Longevity Sect, which was an external sect.
Just as he was about to speak, Yue Shang Neng suddenly changed in expression, apologetically gestured, and quickly picked up a glowing Jade Talisman from his waist to check it.
Chen Dengming glanced at it and knew that this item was a wartime Jade Talisman for Message Transmission that was distributed to those heading to the frontline for the counter-offensive.
Messages sent through this talisman were hard for enemy cultivators to intercept with special magic artifacts.
Furthermore, the range of the talisman’s transmission was quite extensive, comparable to half that of a small Message Formation.
“Three thousand miles to the southwest, a Nascent Soul elder is calling for help!
The target is a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator.”
After quickly scanning the message on the talisman, an involuntary cry ‘Nascent Soul elder calling for help’ escaped Yue Shang Neng’s lips, his expression turning grim.
A call for help from a Nascent Soul elder, at that level, was difficult for him to assist.
As for asking the Dragon Beast Venerable to help, the distance was too far.
If it was an enemy trap, employing tactics to bait him away and then strike elsewhere,
The purpose could be to specifically target the Dragon Beast Venerable or nodes of the Sealing Immortal Formation, and that would be bad.
Yue Shang Neng subconsciously glanced at Chen Dengming and others beside him and began to speak.
“Chen…”
But he found that Chen Dengming and his party had already moved to the other side, interacting with disciples with smiles on their faces and hands behind their backs.
Yue Shang Neng paused, choking back the question he was about to ask, his heart wryly smiling.
With the exchange at the Nascent Soul level, especially since the enemy was a Nascent Soul mid-stager,
Given the strength of the Longevity Sect’s group, even the remarkably powerful Chen Dengming, rumored to possess Longevity Mutation, would find it difficult to intervene, as he had not yet truly reached Infant Formation.
“Three thousand miles…
it’s too far.
Let’s have this elder try to make it this far first before we reassess.”
Yue Shang Neng inwardly remarked and immediately transmitted a message using the wartime Jade Talisman.
Asking the Dragon Beast Venerable to rush three thousand miles for assistance was simply too rash and dangerous.
If it was a trap, he couldn’t afford the consequences.
After all, their primary responsibility was to defend the Four Seas Sealing Immortal Formation, and only then to consider nearby support.
“Elder Yue, our journey has been exhausting and many disciples are quite fatigued.
We’ll rest here for a moment before setting out again.”
At this moment, Chen Dengming looked back and called out with a smile.
He had, of course, already heard the content involuntarily cried out by Yue Shang Neng and seeing his troubled face knew that the situation was problematic.
These problematic situations could surely bring trouble to him and his disciples, so it was best to avoid them in advance.
Everyone was indeed part of one alliance, that was true.
But since a Nascent Soul elder was asking for help, without needing to think too hard, they all knew the opponent must also be at Nascent Soul level.
This murky water was not worth wading into.
Overestimating one’s abilities would lead to a dreadful end.
If it had been a Golden Core level call for assistance, Chen Dengming would have gladly helped, as that would not be considered overreaching.
His companions, Golden Core stage Elders like Guan Chao, were all savvy.
Seeing the Sect Leader unwilling to intervene, none of them tried to overdo it, simply following Chen Dengming’s lead.
What help could they, a group of Golden Core cultivators, provide in a Nascent Soul stage confrontation?
The Four Seas Cultivation Alliance had already set the precedent that the sects from the Four Regions should lead the offensive on the frontline, showing they did not regard the lives and safety of the cultivators from the Four Oceans sects as important, prompting them to cherish their own safety even more.
“These Longevity Sect cultivators, losing even a single hair…
signifies nothing…”
Yue Shang Neng felt helpless.
Chen Dengming and others not wanting to take unnecessary risks was, of course, understandable to him.
