The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 150 I am the only one who has attained enlightenment!
"I've seen the saint!"

At the Changsheng Palace, all the holy rulers paid homage at the same time, showing great respect and humility.

Ning Qingyi also bowed, refraining from doing anything out of line. This drew surprised glances from the many middle-aged and young people standing at a distance.

The sage of the Longevity Temple, seated at the head of the table, spoke: "I have invited you all here today because the Longevity Temple has something to announce to the world."

The holy lords looked solemn, knowing that something big was about to happen.

"I observe that my disciple Sanque once swore brotherhood with Yin Tiande and Taiyin Shenzi, which led to a grave mistake." The sage of Changsheng Temple said solemnly, "Fortunately, Lingbao Daozi spoke up for justice and corrected the wrongs, allowing my temple to pull back from the brink."

At this moment, Daoist Sanque also stepped forward, his face calm and composed: "The virtue of the Taiyin Emperor shines throughout the world, and the Taiyin Ancient Scripture is the mother scripture of our human race. The Emperor's lineage has been more than a mountain of kindness to our human race."

"I was young and inexperienced, clinging to petty righteousness while forgetting the greater good. I actually swore brotherhood with the traitor Duanmu, disgracing the Emperor and tarnishing my family's reputation." The Three-Missing Daoist said solemnly, "Today, with all the wise men present, I hereby swear to sever all ties with Duanmu Ming!"

A clear voice resounded throughout the hall, and everyone's faces turned solemn, knowing that the main event of the day had arrived.

"Good!" Ning Qingyi said, "Fellow Daoist Sanque has realized his mistake and made amends. If the Human Emperor is aware of this, he will surely protect you!"

Things have turned out differently than he originally envisioned, but it's not impossible to take advantage of the situation.

His sharp gaze swept over everyone below the stage, only to see the powerful leaders of various forces remaining calm and composed, with a hint of admiration in their eyes.

The sage of the Changsheng Temple did not take it to heart and calmly said, "Qingyi Daoist visited our temple a few days ago and said that he wanted to eradicate the Taiyin Sect. Today, all sects bear witness, and our temple will definitely do its utmost, even if it means going through fire and water! Please give us your specific plans."

Upon hearing this, all the holy masters in the hall could no longer sit still. Not only them, but the middle-aged and younger generation in the hall were also in an uproar.

"The Longevity Temple has actually declared war on the Taiyin Sect! They want to eradicate it completely, a fight to the death!" Someone gasped, their face filled with horror.

"What exactly did this Lingbao Daoist promise that actually made the Changsheng Temple take action..." Someone's expression was inscrutable, as they speculated about something.

"A truly formidable tyrannical dragon has arrived. Can the Taiyin Sect survive this?" Someone revealed a gloating expression, clearly pleased to see the Taiyin Sect suffer a setback.

……

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but the important figures on the stage all focused their attention on Ning Qingyi, their eyes flashing with various speculations.

Ning Qingyi said calmly, "Why does the sage ask such a question? Isn't the plan to eliminate Duanmu right in front of us?"

"Slay gods and Buddhas alike, and sweep through everything in our path."

His tone was calm, yet it was filled with murderous intent, and in a daze, everyone seemed to see a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Everyone was shocked!

Knowing that Ning Qingyi's Dao of the Primordial Spirit was unfathomable and his Dao oath was as hard as iron, he was able to influence others and make them hallucinate this scene.

"What terrifying primordial spirit power! Even we have been infected." A supreme elder of a major sect was moved.

"Such a strong killing intent! It's like a god of death has arrived!" someone exclaimed in a low voice.

The sage of Changsheng Temple looked at him and suddenly smiled: "The great way is simple. I was just worrying too much. Since that's the case, Changsheng Temple will follow your orders. As long as Taiyin Sect is not destroyed, Sanque will always follow you."

Ning Qingyi gave him a deep look and nodded. "As the sage commands," the Three-Missing Daoist replied.

The powerful leaders of various factions exchanged bewildered glances. Clearly, the previous situation had exceeded their expectations, and it seemed that they had only come to observe and witness the events.

Some people couldn't contain themselves any longer and stood up.

"Sage, Lingbao Daozi, have you truly decided to wage a major war?"

A Taoist priest stood up; he was a supreme saintly master at the second level of the Immortal Platform Realm, attracting everyone's attention.

"Leader of the Luoxia Sect." Daoist Sanque appeared behind Ning Qingyi at some point and said in a low voice.

Ning Qing nodded and asked, "What? Do you have some past connection with those wicked people from the Taiyin Sect, and you want to plead for them?"

"Daozi is joking. The Taiyin Sect is a powerful force, and rashly launching a war will only cause bloodshed in Luzhou." The leader of the Luoxia Sect shook his head: "Daozi comes from beyond the heavens and may not know that eradicating an immortal holy land would be an absolute catastrophe."

"Yes, the Duanmu lineage has been rebelling for so long and has stood firm. A major war would only turn this land into a river of blood."

"It would be better to reason with them and appeal to their emotions, so that their lineage can guard the spirit of the human emperor for generations and wash away their sins."

Inside the main hall, discussions were rife. Many felt that Ning Qingyi and the Changsheng Temple were too domineering, ready to stir up a major upheaval with just a few words, completely disregarding the potential backlash.

"Ridiculous." Ning Qingyi coldly uttered two words. He used his "mind-reading" technique, and everyone could sense the disdain in his heart.

"An immortal holy land?" He stood up. "Besides the imperial scriptures that this lineage seized, what else does it have?"

"Do you have an imperial weapon? Does your clan have a quasi-emperor? Or do you have an ancient prince or an imperial prince?" Ning Qingyi asked coldly, looking at the leader of the Falling Clouds Sect who spoke, his arrogance overwhelming.

Everyone was silent.

"I come from the Big Dipper. I have personally witnessed the destruction of the lineage of the Eight Divine Generals left by the Undying Emperor of the Mythical Era by the Great Xia Dynasty of the Taihuang lineage; a being on the verge of reaching great maturity appeared in the Central Continent, but was quelled by the killing intent of the Azure Emperor; a Quasi-Emperor appeared in the Western Emperor Yaochi lineage and personally killed a Great Sage; the children of nearly ten supreme beings, including the Qilin Ancient Emperor, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, the Void Emperor, the Undying Emperor, and the Golden Ancient Emperor, were born, and there are more than a dozen imperial weapons..."

Ning Qing didn't say a word, but her aura grew stronger.

"The ancient star Ziwei has not a single imperial weapon, nor a single imperial prince. It has no chance of proving immortality in this golden age, yet it dares to call itself immortal in front of me?" Ning Qingyi bypassed the leader of the Luoxia Sect and scanned the leaders of the major forces: "Don't even mention wiping out the Duanmu lineage, is it difficult to suppress the ancient star Ziwei?"

His question, "Is it that hard?" drew angry stares from the crowd, but listening to his words made them feel terrified and their mouths dry.

Even the sages of the Longevity Cult fell silent.

"Legend has it that the Big Dipper is the final resting place of ancient emperors, hence it is called the Burial Star of Emperors. Now, hearing this, it truly is a gathering of heroes and a constellation of brilliant minds." The sage of the Longevity Temple sighed, then suddenly changed the subject: "May I ask, young friend, in the Big Dipper, is it possible for you to be a respected figure among the younger generation?"

"I personally killed the eighth-generation descendant of the Yuan Emperor, fought alone against the four ancient emperors' children, and killed so many that the younger generation lost their voices when they saw me, calling me Little Immortal Venerable."

"I have no other thought but mine that I may attain immortality in this world."

Ning Qingyi said calmly.
