Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 536 A Master of Strategies (Seeking Subscriptions)

At this moment, ten miles away.

On a high mountain.

Four men and one woman, five True Core Demon Lords, gathered together.

Before long, a bloody shadow swept in.

Landing in front of the five, the Blood River Demon Lord of the Blood Spirit Sect appeared.

The female demon lord was none other than Demon Lord Wanmeng.

She smiled sweetly: "Fellow Daoist Blood River, how is it?"

The Blood River Demon Lord remained silent and took out a precious mirror.

The mirror recorded the battle between Shen Xuan and Zhuo Wuyan.

"So fast?"

The White Bone Sect's Demon Lord of Fiends couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Fellow Daoist Wanmeng, is he usually this fast?"

Another demon lord asked with a hint of mockery.

Wanmeng, the Demon Lord, blushed slightly.

Her relationship with Shen Xuan couldn't be hidden from these old foxes.

He was originally from the Hehuan Sect and didn't take such things too seriously.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Heiye, I will definitely convey this to Shen Xuan and have him answer you in person."

"No! It's my fault, I misspoke, please apologize to Fellow Daoist Wanmeng!"

The Black Leaf Demon Lord of the Yin Sha Sect quickly admitted his mistake.

He had no desire to provoke that jinx.

Zhuo Wuyan was frozen solid for three breaths.

With such power, how could he possibly afford to offend them?

"Alright. Stop joking. Let's discuss this, everyone. We all need to return to our clans to report back."

"The Demon Lord of Fiends said in a deep voice."

The other five remained silent.

There was no other way but to call out names.

“Fellow Daoist Blood River, since you witnessed it first, you should speak first.”

Blood River Demon Lord rolled his eyes.

"I don't care about anyone else. Anyway, if I see Master Xuanbing, I'll stay as far away as possible."

"Me too."

"Me too."

The other demon lords were in agreement.

"Fellow Daoist Wanmeng, what about you?"

"Of course I won't hide. Shen Xuan and I are deeply in love. If he's willing, I'm willing to marry him and fly together as a couple."

Demon Lord Wanmeng answered without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, even the Demon Lord of Fiend Bone laughed.

"You wish!"

"Even if he were willing, the Qingyun Sect would not!"

"We finally produced a Golden Core prodigy, and you squandered him! How can the Azure Cloud Sect maintain its standing now!"

Demon Lord Wanmeng scolded, "Fellow Daoist Bone Fiend, you are so ignorant! What do you mean I'll 'ruin' him? You have no idea how powerful he is!"

Blood River Demon Lord said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Wanmeng is not wrong. True Person Xuanbing not only has profound ice techniques, but also seems to have comprehended a strange spatial divine power that can tear through space in an instant."

"hiss!"

Several demon lords gasped in shock.

"Moreover, as far as I know, this person is also skilled in lightning magic and has also cultivated an extremely advanced body-refining technique. Demon Lord Wanmeng, am I right?"

Demon Lord Wanmeng smiled gently: "You're right."

"Unless a Golden Core cultivator from the Yan Kingdom intervenes, none of the five True Core cultivators from the Yan Kingdom can reliably defeat him."

This remark caused another awkward silence.

After a long while, someone finally said, "The Golden Core cultivator is finished? It can't be that soon."

"If that's the case, then it's a fight to the death."

"Fellow Daoists are right. War is for personal gain, not for the destruction of a sect!"

They all knew it in their hearts.

In the major sects of Yan and Song, those in power are Golden Core cultivators.

The true strategic force lies with the sect's supreme elders, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

There is a basic standard for whether a sect is a major sect, which is whether it has a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

For the six major demonic sects of Liang Kingdom, each has its own Demonic Infant Ancestor.

It takes at least one fourth-level cultivator to dominate all nations.

"Let's report the truth to the sect."

The Bone Demon Lord pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

Everyone said yes.

“That’s right, that’s what I meant too. The seven sects of Song are at a disadvantage for the time being, but they still have the strength to fight. If our sect rashly enters the fray, it will be disadvantageous.”

"The Qingyun Sect of the Song Kingdom has a prodigy like True Person Xuanbing. The Xuantian Sect, Jinyang Sect, and other sects may also have their own. It's just that they are unwilling to reveal themselves too early."

"As long as the State of Song can withstand the offensive of the State of Yan, the State of Liang does not need to enter the war prematurely."

Soon, the six demon lords reached a consensus.

Let’s finish talking about business.

At this moment, the Dark Spirit Demon Lord of the Netherworld Sect suddenly asked.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Wanmeng, I heard that True Person Xuanbing has several demonic weapons. How about we trade them?"

Demon Lord Wanmeng laughed and said, "A true spirit artifact, or the essence and blood of a third-order divine dragon descendant."

"I have a demonic dragon core here, slightly damaged. I wonder if he would be willing to trade it?"

"Fellow Daoist Anling, don't be impatient. Once this matter is settled, Wanmeng will take you to see True Person Xuanbing, and you can trade face to face."

"So good."

The Dark Spirit Demon Lord said with a smile.

……

At this moment, Tianyuan Immortal City was filled with jubilation.

The main hall of the city lord's mansion.

The lights were bright, glasses clinked, and cheers resounded.

The gloom that had been suppressed for ten years was swept away by Shen Xuan with swift and decisive measures.

Previously, on the front lines, the Song Kingdom's sects had been at a disadvantage.

The Yan state's sects pressed forward relentlessly, gradually encroaching upon the territory.

They actually dared to approach Tianyuan Immortal City, a strategic stronghold of the Xuantian Sect.

To resist the True Meaning Sect of Yan Kingdom, the Xuantian Sect also invited the Jinyang Sect and the Qingyun Sect to help them.

Nevertheless, they suffered repeated defeats.

Zhuo Wuyan of the Zhenyi Sect defeated four newly promoted True Persons from three sects with his Yuan Magnetic Fiend Light Divine Power, earning him widespread fame.

Until Shen Xuan arrived. Three breaths!

In just three breaths, the ice-bound Zhuo Wuyan was frozen, boosting the morale of the Song Kingdom's sects.

At this moment, a grand celebratory banquet was set out, with fine wines and delicacies being served in a continuous stream, creating an extremely lively atmosphere.

Shen Xuan sat calmly in the main seat.

His appearance stood out from the crowd of real people.

He's too handsome and young.

If one did not know his identity, judging from his appearance alone, he would appear to be a novice young Qi Refining cultivator.

Who would have thought that he was actually a Golden Core cultivator of the Ice Law!
Shen Xuan showed no arrogance, remaining calm and composed.

The aura emanating from him was as deep and unfathomable as the sea, commanding respect without a hint of anger.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanbing, I toast you!"

Master Xuanwen raised his cup first and drank it all in one gulp.

Shen Xuan quickly raised his glass and drank it all.

"With such a talented individual, the Qingyun Sect is destined for great prosperity!"

Master Xuanwen said with emotion.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanbing, this battle has brought glory to the sects of my Song Kingdom. I, Lieyang, raise a toast to you!"

Master Lieyang, his face glowing red, raised his cup with great gusto.

Shen Xuan also raised his glass and drank it all.

"Junior Brother Xuanbing, let me offer you a toast."

Master Lingjian spoke slowly, his expression calm.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Lingjian!"

Shen Xuan smiled and drank the spiritual wine in his cup.

"If Senior Brother Lingjian hadn't pointed out its flaw, Junior Brother wouldn't have dared to boast that he could defeat the enemy in three breaths."

Everyone suddenly realized.

It turned out that Master Lingjian had already seen through Zhuo Wuyan's weakness.

He instructed Xuanbing Zhenren to attack from above, thus achieving great success in one fell swoop.

Master Lingjian smiled faintly.

"Even without my guidance, Zhuo Wuyan would not be a match for Junior Brother Xuanbing in three breaths."

The two exchanged a smile and said nothing more.

At this moment, the disciples of the three prominent sects stepped forward one after another to offer toasts.

Especially when facing Shen Xuan, his words were sincere and full of respect.

Shen Xuan remained calm, raised his glass and took a small sip, saying nothing more.

No one thought he was being rude; on the contrary, they felt it was only right.

After all, Shen Xuan was a Golden Core cultivator of the Ice Law, a person of extraordinary status.

Being allowed to raise a glass and take a small sip is already a great honor for them.

……

After the banquet.

The City Lord's Mansion, a secret room.

There are only four people here: Xuanwen Zhenren, Lieyang Zhenren, Lingjian Zhenren, and Shen Xuan.

Master Lieyang cut to the chase: "Fellow Daoist Xuanbing, seeing your extraordinary abilities today reminded me of an old matter. I wonder if I should tell you about it?"

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "Brother Lieyang, please speak freely."

Master Lieyang sighed, “My senior brother’s disciple, Wen Ruyu, whose Daoist name is Master Wenyang, fought with Zhuo Wuyan seven years ago and was injured by his Yuan Magnetic Fiend Light. His inner core and soul were damaged, and his foundation was shaken. He has barely maintained his cultivation for many years, and his cultivation has regressed instead of progressing.”

"Now that you have achieved the Golden Core stage, can Wen Ruyu's injuries be completely cured?"

Shen Xuan fell silent.

With his current abilities, he can definitely cure it completely.

However, agreeing too quickly can bring trouble.

Shen Xuan looked troubled: "This..."

Not only Master Lieyang, but also Master Xuanwen showed concern.

Previously, Zhuo Wuyan severely injured four newly promoted True Persons, two of whom were True Persons from the Xuantian Sect.

The other one is a True Person of the Divine Sword Sect.

If Shen Xuan can cure Wen Ruyu, then the other three True Immortals can also be cured.

In this way, Shen Xuan would have to consume a lot of his original essence.

This is also why Shen Xuan looked troubled.

With a hint of anticipation, True Person Lieyang said, "I remember that Wen Ruyu sought out Fellow Daoist Xuanbing. At that time, you were only at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet you were able to use your original Dao Foundation spiritual power to temporarily suppress his injuries, and the effect was quite good."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan pondered and said, "To be honest, Brother Lieyang, Xuanbing might be worth a try in treating the injuries caused by the Yuan Magnetic Fiend Light to True Person Wenyang."

"However, the Yuan Magnetic Fiend Light is no ordinary thing, and True Person Wen Yang is seriously injured. To cure him completely, Xuan Bing will need several years and will also need to consume a lot of his original pill power."

Master Lieyang was overjoyed upon hearing this.

As long as Wen Yuyang's injuries can be cured, any cost is worthwhile.

After all, this is a newly promoted True Core cultivator.

"Don't worry! Fellow Daoist Xuanbing won't let your efforts be in vain. If Wen Ruyu can be cured, everything is negotiable."

On the other side, True Person Xuanwen quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanbing, besides Wen Ruyu, there are three other True Core Daoists who were injured by the Yuan Magnetic Fiend Light."

"If True Master Xuanbing can completely heal their injuries, it will be a great achievement."

Shen Xuan sighed deeply.

He knew he couldn't show favoritism.

“Alright then. Healing the injury will not be accomplished in a day; it will require a gradual process. Brother Lieyang, please have Fellow Daoist Wenyang come to Hanyu Peak of Qingyun Sect.”

"I will return to my sect immediately to prepare. If all goes well, I will heal Fellow Daoist Wenyang's injuries. The other three Fellow Daoists may also come for treatment in turn."

"However, as a result, I have been focusing on this matter for the past ten years or so, which has even affected my daily cultivation, making it difficult for me to go to the battlefield again."

This is Shen Xuan's strategy of retreating to advance.

If the war between Yan and Song continues to escalate, he must protect himself and withdraw.

After all, he has no advantage against veteran Golden Core cultivators.

One wrong move and there is a possibility of defeat and death.

True Person Xuanwen said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Xuanbing, rest assured. With Zhuo Wuyan's Yuan Magnetic Fiend Light broken, the other newly promoted True Persons of Yan Kingdom are nothing to fear!"

Shen Xuan looked at Lingjian Zhenren: "Senior Brother Lingjian, what should I do?"

"This matter is of great importance and must be reported to Senior Brother Mizong, the sect leader."

The four of them discussed it for a while.

In the end, Shen Xuan took the lead in saying goodbye, citing the need to return to his sect to consolidate his cultivation.

Shen Xuan left the city lord's mansion, summoned the Silver Horned Pegasus, spread its wings and flew silently into the night, speeding towards the Qingyun Sect.

The three Golden Core cultivators gazed in the direction Shen Xuan had gone, each with their own reflections.

From this day forward, the renowned name of True Immortal Shen Xuan of Xuanbing will resound throughout the cultivation world of the surrounding countries.

Master Xuanwen seemed to be deep in thought when he spoke up: "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lingjian! The Qingyun Sect has produced another valiant general, and the sect's revival is in sight!"

Master Lingjian shook his head: "The rigid are easily broken, while the flexible endure. I hope he takes care of himself!"
