Longevity in Two Worlds: Double Pupils Are the Road to Invincibility

Taiyi Dao Gate.

Ancient Moon Peak.

Chengming Palace.

When Shi Yi and his group arrived at Chengming Hall, there were already many people waiting inside.

This was the first time Shi Yi had ever seen the Chengming Hall filled with people. He had come here several times before, and Gu Qianqiu had always been the only one cultivating there. But now, Gu Qianqiu was not in the Chengming Hall.

At the center of the great formation, Gu Qianqiu's thoughts did not absorb the power of the formation to cultivate, and he disappeared.

Shi Yi's gaze swept over the people in the hall. There weren't many people whose martial arts cultivation had reached the level of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm. Apart from him, there were only seven others.

The qi and blood strength of these seven people is not high, which is obviously due to the drugs used to forcibly enhance it. However, their situation is not bad compared to Gu Qianqiu's. These seven people should also be Daoist masters at the level of the Silent Meditation Realm.

As for the remaining people, they are bone-refining martial artists, not yet at the innate grandmaster level, and their cultivation in Daoist arts is somewhat uncertain.

After all, even a master at the Silent Meditation Realm may not necessarily have a martial arts cultivation level of Innate Grandmaster.

However, those who have the means will generally use drugs to help their physical body break through to the Innate Grandmaster level, since reaching this level can also increase lifespan.

With a lifespan of two Jiazi (60 years), one naturally has a greater chance of advancing to the realm of immortals. Otherwise, even a master of Daoist arts at the Silent Meditation realm will still die when their physical lifespan dissipates.

He had previously learned from Lin Wenze that Zeng Jun and others were colluding with cult members in order to prolong their physical lifespan and gain more time to break through to the realm of immortals and thus achieve immortality.

Therefore, these masters in the Silent Meditation Realm will definitely forcibly improve their martial arts cultivation if given the opportunity, just to have more time and thus have a greater chance of breaking through to the Immortal Realm.

As for their unstable martial arts foundation, these people don't care about that.

After being promoted to a master immortal, one will have plenty of time to prepare for martial arts cultivation.

If one is reborn through possession, one can begin physical tempering from a young age.

The crowd did not have to wait long before a figure riding the Golden Crow Dharma Image flew into the Chengming Hall and took the main seat.

This person was none other than Gu Qianqiu, the peak master of Guyue Peak. After discussing with the sect leader and other high-ranking members, he returned to Guyue Peak.

"Gentlemen, the Canglang Khanate, in alliance with the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance, is launching an extremely fierce attack on the Great Zhou Dynasty. Two prefectures have already fallen on the front lines."

"Based on the current situation, the army of the Canglang Khanate will attack Beiyuanzhou City in about half a month at most."

"If the army of the Northwest Canglang Khanate wants to attack the capital, they must first pass through our Beiyuan Prefecture City. We cannot avoid it."

"The imperial court has also arranged manpower to provide support and will do its best to help us defend Beiyuan Prefecture City."

“People from surrounding cities will also come to our aid to fight against the Canglang Khanate.”

As soon as Gu Qianqiu entered, he didn't waste any time and went straight to the latest situation.

These people who arrived at this time were all from Guyue Peak and were the backbone of the Taiyi Sect, so they were qualified to know the current situation.

Only by understanding the situation can one realize its seriousness.

"The Hidden Dragon Formation was damaged before, but it has been almost repaired now. However, to prevent anyone from deliberately causing damage, we still need to arrange people to patrol the city of Beiyuan. This is also to guard against the people from the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance who are still hiding in the city of Beiyuan."

"As long as the Hidden Dragon Formation remains in Beiyuan City, with the cooperation of the imperial court and the reinforcements, the army of the Northwest Canglang Khanate has no chance of breaking through Beiyuan City."

"In addition, to prevent people from the Canglang Khanate and the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance from infiltrating, the sect will also arrange some people to participate in daily patrols. Patrol personnel are arranged in each peak."

"Next, I will assign tasks to everyone. During this period, the sect is facing great difficulties, which requires everyone's joint efforts."

"Once the reinforcements arranged by the imperial court arrive, the army of the Northwest Wolf Khanate will pose little threat!"

“We can even launch a counterattack, not only to reclaim our homeland, but also to invade the Canglang Khanate.”

Gu Qianqiu's gaze swept over everyone as he spoke slowly.

His words were not loud, but everyone could hear them clearly.

His words were also very firm.

"The three Supreme Elders of the sect have also emerged from seclusion and are now stationed in Beiyuan Prefecture City."

"If you encounter anything you cannot handle, we will personally intervene. If something arises that even we cannot handle, then the three Supreme Elders will also personally resolve it. You need not worry about anything else."

"The people I call next, according to the arrangement, should do their sect missions well in the coming period of time."

“This period is extremely special. I do not want anyone to do anything that goes against the sect’s arrangements during this time. If the sect suffers great losses because of someone, then I will not let them off lightly.”

"If this kind of thing happens to a disciple of Guyue Peak, I will personally take care of it without the sect leader and others having to do it."

"From now on, everyone on Guyue Peak is on high alert."

Gu Qianqiu's cold gaze swept over everyone, and a powerful aura emanated from him.

This not only demonstrates that the sect will be the strongest support, but also reminds everyone to take the tasks assigned by the sect seriously.

Normally, the sect leaders of Taiyi Sect would not be too strict in assigning sect tasks to their disciples, but this time was different, so their attitude naturally changed.

If anyone violates this rule, they will definitely be used as an example.

"Yes."

Everyone answered in unison, their faces serious.

Subsequently, under Gu Qianqiu's arrangement, everyone received at least one sect mission, and some people received more.

“Junior Brother Shi Yi, let’s all go back to our residences now and take what we need for the trip. In an hour, we’ll meet outside Junior Sister Chi’s residence and then go together to patrol Wanning Street in the west of the city to find the spies left in the city by the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance.”

After leaving Chengming Hall, Lin Wenze looked at Shi Yi and said...

Their mission was to patrol and search for spies of the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance in the western part of Beiyuan City, which was relatively safe.

The fact that the five elite disciples were grouped together was clearly a deliberate arrangement.

Previously, at the Menglan Ruins, there were also five people together.

In fact, it wasn't just Shi Yi and his group who were like this. Most of the other elite disciples were assigned to groups with their fellow disciples or ordinary people who did missions together.

This arrangement was intentional; having acquaintances work together on tasks also avoids the need for time to get used to each other.

"Okay, Senior Brother Lin."

Shi Yi nodded after hearing this.

Shi Yi then went back to his residence.

"I didn't expect to encounter a national war so soon."

"When Taoist masters are engaged in battle, the methods they can use are limited, and are even greatly restricted."

"In contrast, martial arts practitioners are more at ease in this environment." "This national war also represents the participation of the Taiyi Sect. If things don't go well, we will leave then."

Shi Yi returned to his residence and prepared the things he needed to take with him.

In fact, Shi Yi had a lot of things stored in the Bodhi Seed Space, but he still needed to bring some commonly used items on this trip.

"At the national war level, there should be Celestial Martial Saints, Immortals, and even Tribulation Immortals making their moves. I cannot be too careless when I take action."

"However, later on, we will conduct normal patrols within the city as part of the sect's mission. We will also try to find those members of the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance who remained in Beiyuan Prefecture City, which will increase the chances of victory for the Taiyi Sect."

"We also sent letters to Master Song, Master Lü, and others, asking them to come to Beiyuan Prefecture City if possible, or to seek refuge for a period of time."

Shi Yi has enjoyed many benefits within the Taiyi Sect, so it is only right that he do something for the Taiyi Sect.

In addition, he also tried his best to remind Lü Feng, Zhao Cheng, Song Jing, and others.

According to Gu Qianqiu, it should take about half a month for the Northwest Canglang Khanate to travel to Beiyuan Prefecture, so the time to enter Beiyuan Prefecture should be even shorter.

He should be able to send the letter in time.

As for what Lü Feng, Zhao Cheng, Song Jing, and the others would do after the letter was sent, that was not something he could decide!

He could make some arrangements for these people who came to Beiyuan Prefecture City, but as for other places, he couldn't do anything about them.

Shi Yi didn't have much to bring.

The Taiyi Sect was based in Beiyuan Prefecture City, so the distance to the city was not too far for them, given their ability to manipulate objects.

A short while later, Shi Yi left with some things.

Wanning Street, west of the city.

Shi Yi hadn't really explored much of Beiyuan Prefecture City. Although he had used a drone to film the routes and knew them pretty well, he spent most of his time cultivating.

Previously, he had been wandering around Beiyuanzhou City, and he had come here to participate in the sect entry assessment.

However, the atmosphere in Beiyuan Prefecture City was very different from when he had come here before.

Many people in the city had worried expressions on their faces.

Those in the city also knew some of the situation at the front lines; the fact that the border city had been breached by the Canglang Khanate's army could not be hidden at all.

Moreover, the appearance of Taiyi Dao disciples in the city indicates that the situation is serious.

Some people wanted to leave Beiyuanzhou City and head to Shenjing, because it would be safer the further inland they went.

However, the road to Shenjing has been blocked. Except for certain groups of people, everyone is allowed to enter but not leave.

People from Shenjing can come here normally, but people from Beiyuanzhou City are not allowed to go to Shenjing. As for going to other nearby cities, there are no restrictions as long as one's background is clean.

Of course, whether the people of those cities allow these people to enter is not a matter for the people of Beiyuan Prefecture to concern themselves with!

Wartime conditions are naturally different from ordinary times.

According to the discussions between the government officials in Beiyuan Prefecture and the high-ranking officials of the Taiyi Sect, in a few days, no one will be allowed to enter or leave Beiyuan Prefecture!
These days are the last few days.

"Junior Brother Shi Yi, there's no need to be so nervous."

"This kind of patrol mission can be carried out normally."

"As for finding the spies of the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance, we'll deal with that when we encounter suspicious individuals. For now, we can relax a bit."

Seeing Shi Yi's serious expression, Lin Wenze smiled and said.

Although the situation sounds urgent, it hasn't actually reached that point yet.

Before the Canglang Khanate army even entered Beiyuan Prefecture, the Taiyi Sect had the means to know any movements made by the Canglang Khanate army immediately, not to mention the information from the imperial court.

Seeing that Shi Yi was too tense, Lin Wenze spoke up to remind him.

The situation is okay now, but it's hard to say what will happen next. Being constantly on edge can easily lead to problems.

This is also based on Lin Wenze's experience.

Lin Wenze started learning early, has experienced more things, and has a richer background.

"Okay, Senior Brother Lin."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi withdrew his gaze, appearing much more relaxed.

As his condition changed, people in a nearby restaurant continued drinking as usual, and the energy they had gathered in their bodies dissipated.

After Shi Yi and his group arrived at Wanning Street in the west of the city, he noticed that someone was secretly watching them.

The gaze seemed to sweep over them casually, but Shi Yi noticed that the other person was paying attention to them quite often.

Although they were all dressed in the robes of Taiyi Dao disciples, which would have made them more eye-catching, there were still differences in their gazes.

Shi Yi used his abilities to see through illusions and predict the enemy's moves, allowing him to see even more subtly and soon find the source of the gaze.

However, the other party reacted quickly. After noticing Shi Yi's gaze, they began to disguise themselves and gathered their qi and blood, clearly ready to make a move at any time.

Upon noticing this, Shi Yi continued to scan the area, looking extremely tense.

It was at this moment, after Lin Wenze spoke, that he went along with it, pretending to be very nervous because it was his first time doing this kind of task.

After noticing this, the person in the restaurant began to disperse the gathered energy and continued to pretend to be drinking normally in the restaurant, looking no different from the others.

"Interesting. Now that we've found one person, let's see who else is connected."

"We can catch them all in one go by following the clues, which will save us the trouble of searching for them one by one."

Shi Yi hadn't expected to make a discovery so soon after starting his patrol.

However, he was not in a hurry to make a move, because according to what he knew, there were quite a few spies of the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance hidden in Beiyuan City.

These people were secretly sent in by the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance when they were conducting normal transactions in the city, and their identities are not easy to verify.

Previously, if the government and Taiyi Sect hadn't joined forces to take action against the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance, they wouldn't have known that the other side had already sent so many people into Beiyuan Prefecture City. Each of them was quite strong, causing Taiyi Sect to suffer losses, and even damaging a corner of the Hidden Dragon Formation.

It hasn't fully recovered yet.

People from the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance are still hiding in these cities, plotting to sabotage the Qianlong Formation in preparation for the Canglang Khanate's army to attack.

The reason why the two border cities were captured so quickly was related to the people arranged by the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance. Otherwise, the protective formations set up above the major cities would not have been so easy to break through.

The relevant intelligence information was also sent to the Great Zhou Dynasty. All cities received the information and therefore paid more attention to the city's protective formations, arranging for sect disciples and government officials to patrol together to prevent such incidents from happening.

Furthermore, the rewards for finding these Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance spies are extremely generous; the more people who find them, the richer the rewards become, encompassing a wide range of possibilities. (End of Chapter)
