Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 828: Chapter 670: Duel of the Twin Prides

"I believe in the Island Master."

No one responded, but everyone nodded.

The sky outside the window turned dark.

Lanterns on the street lit up one by one, their glow seeping through the window paper, casting faint shadows on the table.

The old cultivator stood up and walked to the window.

He opened a crack and looked outside.

The street was still busy with people.

Vendors, pedestrians, people standing at shop doors talking.

The light illuminated each face, some weary, but there was a spark in their eyes.

This spark had been igniting bit by bit over the past fifty years.

He closed the window and returned to his seat.

"Let’s continue drinking."

The old cultivator said.

A few people raised their cups.

When they clinked together, the sound was muffled, as if something was being suppressed.

The spirit wine burned down their throats, heating up their chests.

They knew the storm was coming.

The announcement was just the first leaf to fall.

But they also knew, there were things worth holding onto.

Like this Starlight Island.

Like the light on Starlight Island.

...

In the neighboring box, similarly closed doors and windows.

Under the light, a few Foundation Establishment disciples of the Sect sat, all looking displeased.

At the head was Li Mingyang, the senior disciple of True Master Xuan Ku’s lineage.

His gaze was lowered as he ate and drank, indifferent to others.

"That True Master Profound Ice is too presumptuous."

A slightly younger Sect disciple couldn’t help but say: "Starlight Island is originally a Spiritual Land of our Sect."

His surname was Zhao, not yet thirty years since entry-level, with sharpness still visible between his brows.

"He’s occupying it without returning, and now even dares to expel our Sect disciple!"

"Simply lawless, unaware of heaven’s laws and earth’s principles!"

"Exactly! I don’t believe the Sect would let him run wild!"

A few Sect disciples shouted one after another.

Sitting next to the disciple surnamed Zhao was a female disciple, who gently tugged at his sleeve.

The female disciple did not speak but glanced at the door.

The disciple surnamed Zhao stopped speaking.

He looked at the tightly closed door of the box.

The box quieted down.

"Finished talking?"

Li Mingyang said in a deep voice.

The voice was not loud, yet it sent a chill to everyone’s hearts.

"After this meal, we’ll leave the island together, don’t cause trouble."

Li Mingyang put down his cup, the bottom of the cup made a light sound.

Ten years ago, he sat on Starlight Island, listening to True Master Profound Ice preach and pass on the law.

At that time, he sat among the crowd.

True Master Profound Ice’s tongue burst into lotus, describing the righteous law of the Great Dao.

Letting him among the crowd gain sudden enlightenment, understanding many things in an instant.

Since then, his cultivation has progressed to another level, making significant advances.

Now, he has reached Foundation Establishment Perfection.

In some time, he will attempt to break through to Core Formation.

Over the years, he often came to Starlight Island, perceiving the earthly mysteries here.

Starlight Island has good public order, and its goods are reasonably priced.

Many Sect disciples love to travel to Starlight Island.

Their insight is much better than loose cultivators.

Often able to find good things from Starlight Island.

Here, they feel a sense of superiority.

The admiring looks of the loose cultivators provide them with a great deal of emotional value.

After hearing Zhao Mingyang’s words, the disciple surnamed Zhao’s lips moved slightly, seeming somewhat unwilling.

Li Mingyang glanced at him and said: "If anyone wants to stay, they can stay."

The face of the disciple surnamed Zhao turned pale.

"I will go back with Senior Brother Mingyang."

He immediately said.

His voice lowered, the previous energy dissipated.

He was well aware of his weight.

How could a Foundation Establishment Stage disciple dare get involved in such a major matter.

Those words just spoken could only be said in this closed room with fellow Sect brothers to vent the frustration in his heart.

No matter how.

True Master Profound Ice is also a Golden Core True Master.

It’s not his place as a minor character to comment.

Li Mingyang did not look at him again, got up ready to leave.

He was very clear.

True Master Profound Ice and the Sect would erupt into fierce conflict over the ownership of Starlight Island.

Over these years, Starlight Island has developed too well.

Involved interests are too great.

The loose cultivators on the island are visibly becoming wealthy.

Many in the Sect are eager to take action.

Master True Master Xuan Ku has talked about this more than once in front of him.

With a worried face.

Master has great respect for True Master Profound Ice.

In Master’s eyes, True Master Profound Ice and Celestial Star True Master are equally matched.

A person so wise would not act rashly.

If acting, he must be prepared, with a certain amount of confidence.

Given his current status and position, he can only hide away and quietly watch.

Absolutely cannot participate, lest trouble comes upon him.

...

Late night, Cold Ice Cave.

Qin Yuehan’s bedroom.

Moonlight seeped through the slit in the window, spreading over the Jade Wall, condensing into a thin layer of cold light.

Qin Yuehan’s forehead and neck were damp with sweat, a few strands of wet hair on her cheeks, her breath uneven.

Her cheeks were as red as morning clouds.

She nestled in Shen Xuan’s embrace.

Just now, an intense exertion left her gently panting.

Shen Xuan held her neck.

Who knows how much time passed.

Qin Yuehan suddenly turned her face, her lips touched his auricle, breathing softly like orchids.

"Husband, you are wonderful."

Shen Xuan replied with a soft sound.

Qin Yuehan did not pursue further questioning.

Leaning against her husband’s chest, she slowly closed her eyes.

After a long time.

Qin Yuehan spoke softly.

"Purple Maple True Monarch is Yuehan’s elder, but may not know that Yuehan exists in the world."

In her voice, there was a faint trace of concern.

"I know."

Shen Xuan replied calmly.

After entering Divine Power Realm, Shen Xuan touched the threshold of the Heavenly Dao Rules of the Profound Origin Realm.

This world cannot accommodate too many High Tier cultivators.

Every so often, Heavenly Dao generates heavenly punishment, sweeping like a scythe, specially directed at killing Tier Four and above cultivators.

That is why Nascent Soul True Monarchs, Transformed Great Demons, and Demon Infant Ancestors remain hidden and secluded.

It’s not that they prefer such a lifestyle.
