Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 458 The Celestial Star Demonic Cultivator Reappears in the World: Responses from All Sides
When the unexpected events in the Sea of ​​No Light spread throughout the entire Inner Sea.

Only one sect reacted differently: the Heavenly Sound Sect.

In fact, when the urgent report arrived, True Lord Shuyu was hosting a banquet and chatting and laughing with the members of the Yin Corpse Sect.

Although the people below were very anxious, they dared not show it, much less disturb them.

In the end, it was an elder from the Yin Corpse Sect who, after learning the truth, rushed in and whispered the report to the Dai family patriarch.

This forced the banquet to be interrupted, and Lord Yangjiu took the excuse to leave.

At first, Shuyu Zhenjun was somewhat surprised, wondering why such a situation had occurred.

However, after the Yin Corpse Sect members temporarily withdrew, she immediately received an urgent report from below.

His expression immediately changed, and he asked incredulously, "Has this information been verified?"

"Are you sure it's not just a rumor?"

"Given that such a significant event has occurred, have our informants in other sects sent back any corresponding information?"

Shuyu Zhenjun spoke faster and faster, until finally it was almost like a machine gun.

The elders reporting below trembled with fear, wondering if they had done something wrong.

The reason she was in such a hurry was that True Lord Zhiqin was still staying at the Yin Corpse Sect as a guest!
Because the Tianyin Sect's cultivation methods are quite unique, the sect does not have life tablets or similar items.

Therefore, upon hearing that the Yin Corpse Sect's mountain gate had been destroyed, True Monarch Shuyu couldn't help but worry about True Monarch Zhiqin. He wondered if the other party would be alright.
Since it concerned the True Lord of their sect, she found it difficult to control her emotions.

After all, if anything were to happen to them, it would be a tremendous loss for the Tianyin Sect.

It could even be said that the safety of Nascent Soul level cultivators is of paramount importance to any major sect.

"Immediately contact everyone you can reach and find out exactly what happened in the Sea of ​​No Light!"

Shuyu Zhenjun immediately ordered: "Be quick, and find out the current situation of Junior Sister Zhiqin at all costs."

"Any new information must be delivered to me immediately."

But soon, another message came back first.

On the island of No Light, and among the scattered disciples of the Yin Corpse Sect, some recognized Xiao Chen's undisguised face.

Although nearly six years have passed.

However, the years have not left any trace on Xiao Chen's face.

Simply put, it looks exactly like the portrait on the wanted poster.

Therefore, any cultivator who has seen the Yin Corpse Sect's wanted poster can quickly remember this face with a bounty of one million spirit stones on it.

Therefore, the news of the reappearance of the Heavenly Star Demon Cultivator is a major development.

With even greater speed and astonishing efficiency, it swiftly swept across the entire storm sea.

Moreover, unlike the secret reports previously sent by major sects, outside cultivators knew very little about them.

This news was so astonishing that it spread like wildfire among independent cultivators; the more people who knew about it, the faster it spread.

In a slightly more distant place, such as Xilai Country where the Jinxia Sect is located.

Even a few well-informed independent cultivators heard the rumors first before reporting them to higher authorities.

As more and more information circulated from Wuguang Island...

At the same time, the Five Thunder Temple also spread the news of its own true transmission back in a convenient way.

The people in the Inland Sea finally learned what had happened in the Sea of ​​No Light.

"I really didn't expect him to break through to the Nascent Soul realm so quickly."

Inside the Divine Sword Pavilion, True Monarch Lieque sighed upon hearing the news: "And it has only been a few years, yet they have already achieved such combat power."

"He can even fight two opponents at once and kill the Nether Silkworm. He is truly a formidable young man!"

Most of the time, saying this is a form of modesty.

However, Lieque Zhenjun's tone carried a hint of sincerity and a touch of helplessness.

Because he boasted that even in a one-on-one situation, he might not be able to defeat the Dark Silkworm True Lord.

But Xiao Chen, a newly promoted True Monarch, was actually able to do this.

In other words, Storm Sea has gained another True Lord who is more powerful than him.

This is truly a sad thing.

"Sigh~, if things continue like this, when will we be able to revitalize the Divine Sword Pavilion?"

True Monarch Lieque sighed softly: "May our ancestors bless our Sword Pavilion so that such a prodigy may be born!"

Back when the Silver-Faced True Lord was around, the Divine Sword Pavilion was full of vigor and thriving.

Unlike now, when we hesitate and stagnate, almost regressing with age.

If it weren't for the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect being even more pathetic, firmly occupying the last place in the Dragon-Slaying Sea, leaving no room for the Divine Sword Pavilion to fall behind.

Based on their performance over the years, they really don't deserve the second place.

"Oh~!"

Lord Lieque sighed again. He felt stuck in the middle, unable to move up or down, and had always been the runner-up for a long time.

It is indeed a sad thing.

"Could it be that the disciples in the sect are not getting enough training?"

Lord Lieque thought for a moment: "How about we take them out for a trip?"

"If we can cultivate two promising talents during this turmoil, it will be easier to allocate resources more precisely for their development in the future."

Thinking of this, he casually pulled out an invitation.

That was an invitation sent by the Tianyin Sect on behalf of the Yinshi Sect six months ago.

It is said that this was a special forum held to celebrate Youzhong Zhenjun's breakthrough to the late Nascent Soul stage.

There are still about ten days until the scheduled time, enough time to take the disciples there together.

Originally, Lord Lieque had no intention of actively participating.

But now, he feels he can go and take the trip.

The exchange itself isn't the main point; the key is to follow up and see what the Yin Corpse Sect's response will be like after the meeting.

Having suffered such a great loss, they are certainly not going to let this go easily.

Once Lord Lieque made up his mind, the Divine Sword Pavilion immediately got to work.

Meanwhile, in the Star-Picking Sword Pavilion, not far from them, the latest news has already spread.

"As expected, the Heavenly Star Demon Cultivator used an alias back then!"

The former chief disciple, Gao Changgeng, who has now successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, casually tossed the intelligence report onto the table: "Hmph, I thought he was some kind of powerful figure."

"Turns out he was just a cowardly coward."

Mu Yayang, standing beside her, raised her hand in surprise to cover her mouth: "Senior Brother Gao, but this Heavenly Star Demon Cultivator seems to be quite extraordinary!"

"Look at the next two pages."

"Many people witnessed it with their own eyes; he broke through a fourth-tier defensive array in less than a quarter of an hour!"

She hasn't broken through to the Nascent Soul stage yet.

However, because of their close relationship, they did not change the way they were used to address each other.

However, Gao Changgeng dismissed it with disdain: "What's so special about it? It's just a trick to deceive the world."

"Junior sister, do you really think anyone in the world would be so kind as to attack a defensive array just to rescue a rogue cultivator, risking complete antagonism to the point of offending a major sect?"

"Actually, this was just a well-planned show."

"The more important aspect is the involvement of True Monarch Fubing."

Gao Changgeng reached out and turned a page of the intelligence report on the table: "Why did he happen to appear near that Dark Island at the same time as the Heavenly Star Demon Cultivator?"

"I don't believe in chance encounters."

"In my opinion, they were all in cahoots from the beginning!"

"Moreover, they should have obtained the array diagram long ago, and may have even bribed the Yin Corpse Sect disciples stationed there to coordinate an inside attack."

"The purpose of doing this is precisely to let the Heavenly Star Demon Cultivator steal the spotlight and divert everyone's attention."

"This will make those who are unaware of the truth overlook True Lord Fu Bing, and even the real mastermind behind it all."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yayang suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's how it is."

"As expected, Senior Brother Gao is the most amazing. He understood the intricacies of this matter immediately."

Gao Changgeng's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this: "Of course!"

In fact, he wasn't the only one who held this view.

After learning that True Lord Fubing was also involved, many True Lords began to wonder if this was some kind of carefully designed scheme.

Some even suspect that this might be a reclusive Taoist sect wanting to enter the world.

Then they chose the Yin Corpse Sect as their target, attempting to directly replace it.

After all, compared to a True Monarch who has only broken through a few years ago, it is an exaggerated and somewhat absurd thing that he is able to fight against the Nether Silkworm True Monarch.

They prefer to believe that there is more to the story than meets the eye.

This is because it makes more sense and is easier to explain.

Of course, not everyone thinks this way.

At least for Cui Yunxian, she thought it was normal.

When Lord Huo asked, he bluntly replied, "This disciple dares not presume to say that I can definitely defeat True Monarch Mingcan."

"But I thought I had a 90% chance of winning, or at least be in an invincible position."

“That Fellow Daoist Xiao stepped into the half-step True Monarch realm before my disciple.”

"Given his strength, winning was only a matter of course."

As a cultivator who truly embarks on the path of enlightenment and breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Cui Yunxian deeply felt that her strength far surpassed that of ordinary newly promoted True Monarchs.

Especially when practicing magic, the feeling of ease and skill is completely different from the hardships and difficulties described in ancient books.

"Master, shall we go to the Sea of ​​No Light?"

Cui Yunxian suddenly spoke up: "I want to go and see that Xiao Zhenjun."

Huo Xinghuai frowned slightly upon hearing this: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

“If I go to see Xiao Chen now, I’m worried that the Yin Corpse Sect might misunderstand.”

Upon hearing this, Cui Yunxian was immediately disappointed: "But I really want to go and talk to him."

"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Xiao for helping me strengthen my resolve, I know that this path is viable."

When she first heard about the changes on Tianxing Island, she had been looking forward to meeting this fellow traveler in the future.

They enjoyed tea and discussed philosophy, exchanging their cultivation experiences.

The main problem is that there are simply too few cultivators who choose the path of enlightenment.

They searched the entire Storm Sea, but couldn't find a second person who could speak.

I've heard that Xiao Chen has returned and his strength has increased rapidly.

Cui Yunxian wanted to see him even more: "Master, is it really not allowed?"

"We can go there secretly, as long as no outsiders know."

However, Huo Xinghuai hesitated: "This... Xian'er, it's not that your master insists on stopping you."

"Indeed, even Master hasn't figured out what's going on." "What if some reclusive sect is plotting against the Yin Corpse Sect? If we rashly get involved, we'll only get dragged into it."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a clear look of disappointment appear on Cui Yunxian's face.

After thinking it over carefully, he said, "Well, how about this?"

"You should go with your master to the Tianyin Sect to attend the upcoming Daoist exchange meeting."

"In the meantime, we'll slowly find out what's going on and try to figure out exactly what happened."

"If we happen to find the right opportunity along the way, your master will take you to visit him secretly, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Yunxian nodded with delight: "Thank you, Master! You're the best!"

Baicao City has also decided to attend the Daoist Forum.

The Jade Leaf Merchant Guild made the same decision.

Despite the constant bickering within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, they were unable to select a representative that satisfied everyone to deliver the message.

Fortunately, the second round of news came from word of mouth among independent cultivators.

As a result, the Fei Ye Merchant Guild also received the latest intelligence.

Moreover, unlike the Storm Sea, True Monarch Remnant Leaf knows more about Xiao Chen.

After all, anyone who had ever stayed in the Sea of ​​Compassion would have heard of Xiao Chen's name.

Moreover, they had some interaction through the auction.

Lord Canye had long suspected that Xiao Chen actually came from the Storm Sea.

Now, hearing that the other party has returned to the Storm Sea and immediately confronted the Yin Corpse Sect upon their return.

He felt both happy and conflicted.

It should be noted that the Jade Leaf Merchant Guild was targeted by the Corpse Sect both openly and covertly, and was forced to come to the Inner Sea.

Now I hear that their mountain gate has been trampled flat, and even two True Lords have been killed in one fell swoop.

If Lord Canye were to say he was unhappy, it would be a lie.

The problem is that it was Xiao Chen who clashed with the Yin Corpse Sect.

In his original plan, if the opportunity arose, he could consider joining forces with Xiao Chen to gain a foothold in the Storm Sea.

But given the current situation, is it no longer appropriate to contact them directly?

After all, it's obvious to everyone that the Yin Corpse Sect might retaliate against Xiao Chen.

After arriving at the Storm Sea, Lord Canye also heard many legends about Lord Yangjiu.

This top expert, who has already cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, is a well-known figure throughout the entire Storm Sea.

If one chooses the wrong side, things could get very bad.

Even though True Monarch Canye knew in his heart that Xiao Chen's talent was exceptional and his future prospects were limitless.

However, talent and future prospects are all things of the future, and whether they can be realized is not necessarily certain.

In the cultivation world, there are countless geniuses who die young.

But Lord Yangjiu is different; he is already very strong!

He has realized part of his talent and future potential through time and hard work, and has grown to a very strong level.

The reason why the Yin Corpse Sect was able to suppress the Sea of ​​No Light internally and become famous in the Storm Sea externally was because of this.

It can be said that it is because of the presence of the True Lord of Calamity as the mainstay.

As long as he was there, even though the Yin Corpse Sect had already lost two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, it only damaged their vital energy, but did not shake their foundation.

As long as he was there, even if the Yin Corpse Sect's mountain gate and protective formation were razed to the ground, it would only be a loss of face, but it would not attract the covetousness of outsiders.

Because subconsciously, no one believed that the Yin Corpse Sect would decline.

However, things have changed, and we may need to confront the schemes of a certain reclusive sect.

However, as long as Lord Yangjiu does not fall, the Yinshi Sect will remain the only hegemonic force in the Wuguang Sea and a renowned sect in the Fengbao Sea.

So, after a great internal struggle,

Lord Canye decided to be on the safe side and go to the Daoist Exchange Meeting to observe the situation for the time being.

There's no need to rush to contact Xiao Chen; just state your position directly.

Once the situation becomes clearer, we can make the decision that is most beneficial to the Jade Leaf Merchant Guild.

It is worth mentioning that after learning about the situation, the two elders of the Myriad Immortals Alliance made the same decision as True Monarch Canye.

That means observing the situation and helping whoever wins.

The situation was different at the Five Thunder Temple, where True Lord Che Guang was still preoccupied with the possibility of a great demon taking human form.

Therefore, considering this, I decided to attend the discussion and exchange meeting in order to facilitate prior communication on this matter.

Only one sect received the invitation, but decided not to attend the Daoist exchange meeting.

That's the westernmost Jinxia School.

In any case, they are not only far from the Sea of ​​No Light, but also not very close to the Heavenly Sound Sect.

No matter what storms rage outside, it's difficult for them to be affected.

In the eyes of the Golden Whip True Lord, unless that Golden Light Hermit, or rather, the True Lord surnamed Xiao, inexplicably came to Xilai Kingdom.

Otherwise, the Jinxia Sect could simply stay quietly in the far west and live a peaceful life, watching the world change with amusement.

It has a certain charm of being secluded in a small building, living in complete isolation.

Overall, most sects are still cautiously observing the situation.

Only the Tianyin Sect received the devastating news of the passing of True Monarch Zhiqin.

"Impossible. How could Junior Sister Zhiqin have gotten involved in the battle for no reason, and then died?"

Shuyu Zhenjun's face turned pale: "This is absolutely impossible!"

"Are you mistaken? This kind of unreliable rumor is obviously false; it's just rumors spread by rogue cultivators!"

The people below kept their heads down and remained silent.

But this silence made Shuyu Zhenjun's voice grow softer and softer.

At the same time, hatred for Xiao Chen gradually ignited in his heart.

How difficult it is for the Tianyin Sect to cultivate a True Monarch!

The resources and effort consumed are almost incalculable.

But now, it's gone just like that.

Whatever the reason, this can be considered a deep-seated hatred for the Tianyin Sect.

If we're being reasonable, we might need to ask for the specific reasons and demand an explanation from the other party.

At the very least, a reasonable reason must be given to explain why action was taken.

If we disregard reasoning, the mere fact that numerous cultivators witnessed Xiao Chen killing True Monarch Zhiqin is enough to demonstrate this.

The Heavenly Sound Sect could already lead its disciples to seek revenge, if they were capable of doing so.

Although this is quite unreasonable, there are actually many similar cases in history.

In the past, many disciples of large sects died on the territory of small sects, and their elders would come to retaliate without distinguishing right from wrong.

"You...all of you may leave!"

Shuyu Zhenjun had also considered this idea, after all, Tianyin Sect was not a small or insignificant sect.

However, after assessing her own strength, she realized that she was actually three points weaker than the Dark Silkworm True Monarch.

It would be difficult to achieve this by relying on oneself.

For True Monarch Shuyu, the best way was to use someone else to do his dirty work, which could actually be considered one of the traditions of the Tianyin Sect.

Moreover, this time there's no need to even consider how to use someone else's help.

Because Xiao Chen also offended the Yin Corpse Sect, especially the top True Lord Yangjiu.

In theory, she just needs to wait patiently.

However, after thinking about it, Shuyu Zhenjun still felt that she should do something.

Now that things have come to this, the Tianyin Sect is practically on the same side as the Yinshi Sect.

Why not just go down one path and go all the way down it? That way, you can kill two birds with one stone.

Firstly, she could personally participate in the matter and avenge the True Lord of the Zither.

This way, one can appear kind and righteous, and also share some of the spoils afterward to make up for the losses.

Secondly, she could also directly express her sincerity in forming an alliance with the Yin Corpse Sect.

Look, when you were attacked by a hostile True Lord, I stood on your side without hesitation.

After that, when we go to the inner realm of the Vast Ocean Secret Realm, shouldn't you take care of such a loyal ally as me?
At that time, True Monarch Shuyu can reasonably accompany the Yin Corpse Sect members, and they will certainly be too embarrassed to refuse her.

Most importantly, after these long days of communication...

She discovered that the members of the Yin Corpse Sect were quite powerful.

First and foremost is Lord Yangjiu, whose great reputation is truly well-deserved.

Whether it's the understanding of the Great Dao or the disturbance caused by the movement of spiritual veins during cultivation, both are terrifyingly powerful.

Previously, they were merely concealing their fangs to prevent other sects in the Inner Sea from developing an overly strong sense of vigilance towards the Yin Corpse Sect.

Secondly, although Youzhong Zhenjun appears to be the fourth in line, he also cultivates the art of music, taking the path of accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing its full potential.

Since arriving at the Tianyin Sect, both sides have exchanged views and expressed many insightful opinions.

He even gained some insight on the spot a month ago and broke through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm in one go.

Moreover, unlike outsiders who only know that Youzhong Zhenjun has broken through, but do not know his specific situation.

As a fellow cultivator of the Way of Music, True Monarch Shuyu even used the mountain-protecting formation to observe the other party's breakthrough process.

They gained a very deep understanding of just how profound the other party's mastery of music truly was.

It can be said that if outsiders continue to regard Youzhong Zhenjun as they did in the past, they will inevitably suffer a great loss.

In this way, even if the matter of the Sea of ​​No Light truly harbors hidden secrets and is being plotted by a reclusive sect, it would still be possible to determine the truth.

The Yin Corpse Sect will be the one laughing last.

In that case, placing bets in advance and expressing sincerity becomes a sure-fire way to make money.

Who could refuse such a sure-fire way to make money?
"Well, why don't we just take this opportunity to bring up the old issue again?"

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration struck Shuyu Zhenjun, who remembered his former chief disciple, Wen Suruo.

They had almost finalized a marriage agreement between Wen Suruo and the Dai family.

As a result, an accident occurred on Tianxing Island, which directly caused the marriage plan to fall through.

They had only just chosen a new marriage partner.

Wen Suruo took the lead and went into seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and she succeeded in breaking through in one fell swoop.

Since she had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, the marriage arrangement should naturally have ended there.

After all, normally speaking, even if it were purely for the sake of interests, it would be impossible to let one's own Nascent Soul marry the other party.

Conversely, the other party would not agree to marry into the family.

But the current situation seems like a good time to increase the bet!
Shuyu Zhenjun wasn't just daydreaming; she considered it very seriously and the more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

From the perspective of the overall interests of the Tianyin Sect, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks!
