Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 829: Chapter 670: Duel of the Twin Prides

The main reason is still to conceal one’s aura, to postpone and avoid divine punishment.

As for the bloodline descendants.

Like Purple Maple True Monarch, who had a family and offspring before attaining the Dao, with branches extending far and wide under his name.

His bloodline descendants could likely exceed ten thousand, making it impossible to care for them all.

The Great Dao is merciless.

In fact, the higher a cultivator’s realm cultivation, the more they need to practice supreme emotional detachment.

Otherwise, they would be entangled in endless karma.

Not only wouldn’t they be able to cultivate in peace, but they might even invite a catastrophic disaster.

Qin Yuehan was silent for a while.

The sweat gradually cooled, clinging to her skin with a slight chill.

"How about Yuehan goes back to Purple Maple Mountain to gather some news?"

"That’s not necessary."

Shen Xuan’s tone was calm, and he pulled her closer into his embrace.

"Yuehan, I know what you’re worried about."

Qin Yuehan held her breath and listened.

"Trust me, these things are not worth worrying about."

"Once I’ve handled a few important matters at hand, we’ll choose an auspicious day and hold a marriage ceremony."

Qin Yuehan’s body trembled.

She looked up at Shen Xuan, unable to speak for a moment.

Her heart was pounding as if something had struck it.

Over the years, they had long been a couple in practice.

Outsiders also referred to them as cultivation partners.

But they never had a marriage ceremony.

Shen Xuan had once explained to her.

Originally, he had promised Ding Yuyao not to marry again.

Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn.

Shen Xuan actually changed his mind.

A warm current surged in Qin Yuehan’s heart, and her eyes were filled with warmth.

Even though she felt moved, Qin Yuehan tentatively asked, "But didn’t you promise Sister Ding Yuyao not to marry again?"

Qin Yuehan naturally addressed "Ding Yuyao" as sister by now.

No matter how she tried to conceal it, there was a hint of urgency in her tone.

"Yes. We’ll pay respects in front of her spiritual tablet. I believe Yuyao will understand and consent."

Shen Xuan appeared calm.

This wasn’t a sudden impulse.

The marriage ceremony was just a formality.

Qin Yuehan cared about it.

So he wanted to give Qin Yuehan a rightful status.

At their current realm cultivation.

It was extremely unlikely for them to have offspring.

Shen Xuan had no intention of having descendants.

He just felt he shouldn’t neglect Qin Yuehan too much.

Now, having achieved Body Refining Great Success and stepping into the Divine Power Realm.

He didn’t have to worry about too many things.

With the means and ability, he could proclaim their marriage openly.

As for Ding Yuyao.

He would still support the Shen Mansion’s offspring and treat the Ding Clan Members well.

Even if he met Ding Yuyao, he could say he had no regrets.

With the passage of time.

He needed someone he could absolutely trust to manage the Starlight Island for him.

Qin Yuehan had given so much.

It was what she deserved.

"We still need to wait for some time. At most two or three years."

Shen Xuan provided a definite time frame.

"I’m not in a hurry."

Qin Yuehan said softly.

A slight smile curled her lips.

She nestled back into his embrace, her cheek pressed against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat.

Qin Yuehan believed in Shen Xuan.

Since he made a promise, he would definitely fulfill it.

After a moment, Shen Xuan suddenly asked, "Yuehan, do you have any family left?"

Qin Yuehan was momentarily stunned, her thoughts pulled far away.

"My lineage comes from a mortal family, with few possessing a Spirit Root. My father and grandfather passed away long ago."

She slowly recalled, her voice somewhat drifting.

"In my childhood, I seemed to have heard of some distant relatives with a Spirit Vein who joined the Sects in Song Country early. We’ve long lost contact."

Shen Xuan didn’t continue the conversation.

He suddenly remembered his younger days.

All his relatives had blurry faces.

Those mundane mortal relatives had all passed away.

What truly impressed him.

Was Master Yan, who led him onto the path of cultivation.

Besides, there were those departed fellow disciples.

The brilliance of youth then, now reduced to a handful of yellow earth.

That was already two hundred years ago.

Now, the only one accompanying him was Qin Yuehan.

Shen Xuan gently exhaled a breath, closing his eyes.

The night was still long.

The true darkness hadn’t yet descended.

But so what?

The long night will eventually pass.

No matter what, tomorrow is another day.

...

Profound Celestial Sect, True Master Discussion Hall.

The two sides of the jade table were filled with people.

Over a hundred True Pill True Masters and more than thirty Golden Core True Masters gathered.

The air was tense, with only the flat report of True Master Xuan Xiang echoing.

"True Master Profound Ice said, if we wish to reclaim Starlight Island, let Purple Maple True Monarch personally discuss it with him."

The words dropped.

"Outrageous!"

A young True Master on the left side slammed the table, with a cold expression.

"True Master Profound Ice is too arrogant!"

"Such words clearly show disdain for our Profound Celestial Sect!"

"This cannot be tolerated!"

Several voices echoed, coming from the younger True Masters in the hall.

They belonged to the younger generation of the Profound Celestial Sect, newcomers to Core Formation.

Many of them still did not have their independent Tier Three Dojo.

They could only share with others.

They were quite furious with Shen Xuan’s shameless act of occupying the Spiritual Land of the Profound Celestial Sect.

"Quiet."

True Master Xuan Ji at the head tapped his delicate jade table with a finger.

His voice was low, yet it quickly quieted the hall.

He looked at True Master Xuan Xiang standing opposite and expressionless.

"Junior Brother Xuan Xiang, repeat True Master Profound Ice’s original words again. Perhaps someone didn’t hear them clearly."

True Master Xuan Xiang bowed and said, "Yes, Sect Leader Senior Brother. True Master Profound Ice said, go back and tell Brother Xuan Ji, if you want to reclaim Starlight Island, let Purple Maple True Monarch come to me to discuss it."

Identical words echoed in the hall for the second time.

True Master Xuan Ji’s finger paused on the table.

After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "So, in True Master Profound Ice’s eyes, do I lack the qualifications to discuss this matter with him?"
