Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 595 The Raging Demonic Tide (Please Subscribe)

After scanning the entire area with his divine sense, Shen Xuan summoned the sect's stewards.

After confirming several times, he confirmed that his seat was to the right of the Mysterious Master.

Shen Xuan then slowly walked to his seat.

"Senior Brother Zhang? This..."

Shen Xuan glanced at the seat, looking puzzled.

"Junior Brother Xuanbing has arrived! Please take a seat. The meeting is about to begin."

"The Mysterious Master said with a chuckle."

The ranking of sect masters is not based on seniority.

Instead, it is decided based on the merits of the sect.

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

In the great war between the sects of Yan and Song, his merits were second only to those of the Spirit Sword Master.

Later, under the name of Starshine Island, they engaged in continuous and large-scale trade with the demon race of the Wilderness Plains.

Half of the profits earned were given to the Qingyun Sect.

In addition, he spent many years on Starshine Island completing alchemy tasks for his sect.

In summary, his accumulated merits within the sect surpassed those of the Hidden Manifestation True Man.

Shen Xuan's gaze swept across the area.

Both the Hidden Man and the Spirit Sword Master nodded slightly.

Only then did he sit down slowly with a smile on his face.

Soon, all the true men who were attending the meeting had arrived.

They greeted each other one by one.

At this moment, Shen Xuan noticed that all the True Persons in the sect treated him better than before.

The principles of cultivation and the mortal world are the same.

When you become strong, you will find that everyone around you is a good person.

The Qingyun Sect now has nineteen True Persons.

The immortals Changsheng and Duobao have passed away.

Two new masters, Zhiyi Zhenren and Xuanyuan Zhenren, have been added to the table at the end.

Lingxiao Zhenren's seat was placed in the inner circle.

This also means that Master Lingxiao has entered the core circle of the sect.

The Qingyun Sect has formed a new structure of seven inner peaks and twelve outer peaks.

The meeting begins.

The Lost Immortal reported that the Immortal of Longevity had died suddenly from a qi deviation and recommended the Immortal of Cold Jade to serve as the head of the Alchemy Hall.

The proposal was passed unanimously.

When the vote passed, many people looked at Shen Xuan with a smile on their faces.

Shen Xuan nodded in return.

"Alright. Junior Sister Hanyu will be in charge of the Alchemy Hall. Please give her your help."

When the Mysterious Master spoke, his eyes were fixed on Shen Xuan.

Everyone said yes.

Shen Xuan solemnly declared: "As Master Hanyu is the head of the Pill Hall, Xuanbing will certainly do his utmost to assist him."

After the meeting, the assembled masters dispersed.

Shen Xuan stayed behind alone.

The mysterious master told him the news.

This news circulated only among the high-ranking members of the major sects in various countries.

The five sects of Yan Kingdom gradually lost control of the demonic tide.

More and more passages to the demon realm are breaking the seal.

The number of magical beasts emerging from it has increased, and their rank has gradually risen.

The number of Tier 3 magical beasts is increasing.

Some even gained sentience and commanded the monsters to attack.

Shen Xuan asked, "Are the True Lords of the Yan Kingdom's sects just going to sit idly by and do nothing?"

"How can it be!"

The Mysterious Master sighed.

"They are powerless. They just sealed one demon realm portal, and another one opened."

"They estimate that the demonic infant ancestors of the demon realm acted simultaneously, deliberately driving these demonic beasts over."

Shen Xuan's heart jumped instantly.

"The sects of Yan Kingdom would not..."

The Mysterious Master nodded and said, "You guessed right. The sects of Yan have already issued a proposal to our Song, Liang, and Lu kingdoms, asking us to send people to join us in suppressing those demonic beasts."

Shen Xuan fell silent.

To everyone's surprise, the Yan clan, which had been invading the Song state just a few years ago, now had the audacity to ask them for help.

half an hour.

Shen Xuan asked, "The Xuantian Sect won't agree, will they?"

"The Xuantian Sect will agree."

The Mysterious Master explained, "If it is not curbed, the rampant spread of demonic beasts on the Xuan Yuan Continent could attract a large army of demons from the Demon Realm, making the situation even more difficult to control."

"Does the law of heaven and earth in the Xuan Yuan Continent exclude and restrict the demon race of the Demon Realm?"

"That's because there are many spiritual lands here. If the entire continent were filled with demonic energy, the laws of heaven and earth would also change."

Shen Xuan suddenly realized.

These demonic beasts are used to alter and defile the spiritual land of the Xuan Yuan Continent.

When the demonic energy is abundant and suitable for the survival of the demon race.

The demons of the demon realm could then organize a large army and launch a high-profile invasion of the Xuan Yuan Continent.

"This matter is not yet settled. I am informing you first. If the sects of the four countries reach an agreement and send people to fight, I'm afraid we will have to trouble Junior Brother Xuanbing."

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, can you assign someone else? You know, I don't get along well with the sects of Yan Kingdom."

"It's hard."

Master Mizong said frankly, "Among the sect members, only Lingjian, Tianfeng, Tianlei, Lingxiao, you, and Junior Sister Hanyu are suitable for the expedition."

"As for the others, even if they were willing, I would not appoint them."

"Junior Brother Xuanbing, do you understand what I mean?"

Shen Xuan smiled bitterly.

"I see."

Going to the Yan Kingdom to hunt down the monsters is quite risky.

The safety of the True Persons dispatched by the Qingyun Sect must be taken into consideration.

Every True Core cultivator is a precious asset of the sect, cultivated with countless resources.

When it is time to give back to the sect, one must not perish easily.

In the more than thirty years of war between the sects of Yan and Song, the Qingyun Sect only lost one True Core cultivator, Duobao Zhenren.

"If I can avoid going to the State of Yan, I would rather not go."

Shen Xuan thought for a moment, then said, "If I absolutely have to go, I will accept the sect's arrangements."

"Junior Brother Xuanbing has a better overall perspective."

The Mysterious Master smiled and said, "It's too early to discuss this. We'll talk about it again after the four sects have made their decisions."

……

Hanyu Peak, a guest dwelling in a cave.

Shen Xuan examined the intelligence jade slip from the Yan Kingdom.

As the Mysterious Immortal said, the demonic tide in the Yan Kingdom is escalating.

Some things were left unclear on the intelligence jade slip.

Clearly, the sects of Yan Kingdom are covering up the true situation of the demonic tide.

"With my current strength, even if I am no match for a third-tier magical beast, I can still protect myself."

Shen Xuan's True Spirit Dharma Form, Ice Magic, and Lightning Magic are inherently effective against magical beasts.

They are not afraid of physically powerful magical beasts.

Comparatively speaking, the supernatural powers of the Yan State Master posed a greater threat to him.

Hai Xuan Zhenren, who was also a Water-based Golden Elixir cultivator, was equally matched with him in combat power on the East Sea.

"Unfortunately, the three Xuanbing Treasure Talismans have been nurtured for fifteen years, which is far from enough time."

Shen Xuan estimated that activating the Xuanbing Treasure Talisman at close range would be equivalent to a full-force attack from a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

When all three Mystic Ice Talismans are activated simultaneously, even a late-stage Golden Core cultivator must temporarily evade their attacks.

He glanced at the mysterious jade talisman.

【Shouyuan: 185/1096】

【Dragon Blood Boiling Perfection (2468/3200)】

The further you progress, the slower the progress of [Dragon Blood Boiling] becomes.

Now, after a year of arduous training, the skill points gained are less than fifty.

Moreover, it's clearly getting slower and slower.

Even though he pushed the [Dragon Blood Boiling] to its limit, sacrificing two years of his lifespan.

"If we rely solely on daily hard training, it will take more than ten years to reach the bottleneck of the Dharma Aspect Realm!"

Shen Xuan still had a Frost Dragon Demon Core in his hand.

This is a treasure belonging to a quasi-fourth-tier divine dragon descendant.

Refine it when you intend to break through, and challenge the bottleneck.

"I wonder how Demon Lord Wanmeng is doing."

Shen Xuan's heart stirred.

He released the Demon Eye from the forbidden jade box.

"Qianyan has met Master Shen."

"Is there any news about Demon Lord Wanmeng?"

The demon's eyes were full of flattery.

"Not long ago, with the help of her master, Demon Lord Mingyu, Demon Lord Wanmeng escaped from the Demon Realm of Yan Kingdom and has returned to the Hehuan Sect to recuperate."

"Oh. Trapped in the Demon Realm of Yan. What is the current situation in Yan?"

"No. Very bad."

The Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord told Shen Xuan that the small and medium-sized sects in Yan Kingdom were in a mess, having been decimated by the demonic tide.

The five clans of Yan have also been greatly affected and are requesting the three kingdoms of Liang, Song, and Lu to jointly fight against the demonic tide.

Otherwise, the five clans of Yan will drive the demonic beasts into the other three kingdoms.

Shen Xuan asked, "How does your Liang Kingdom's Demonic Sect view this matter?"

"I'm afraid they will still join forces and send their capable demon lords to Yan Kingdom to annihilate the demonic beasts."

"Oh, why is that? You demonic cultivators don't welcome demons from the demon realm?"

"Welcome? How could that be!"

The Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord explained that the relationship between the demon cultivators of Liang Kingdom and the demon race of the Demon Realm is complex.

The cultivation techniques of the demonic cultivators in Liang Kingdom mostly originated from the demon race.

However, almost all of these demonic cultivation techniques have fatal flaws.

It's equivalent to the "backdoor" in the previous life.

The demon race regards demon cultivators as servants and food.

After the demons descended upon the Xuan Yuan Continent, they either controlled demon cultivators as slaves or devoured them as food.

Therefore, most demonic cultivators in Liang Kingdom fear the arrival of the demon race more than spiritual cultivators.

The relationship between demonic cultivators and demons is extremely complex.

It depends on the strength of both sides.

Some powerful demon cultivators will cooperate with the demon race.

They would also hunt down and refine demons weaker than themselves to improve their cultivation level.

This left Shen Xuan both amused and exasperated.

Therefore, many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

Demonic cultivators are those who practice demonic arts, while demons are born demons.

The relationship between the two still follows the rules of self-interest.

Enslavement, devouring, cooperation, exploitation, competition, hunting, and so on, ultimately depend on the strength and interests of both parties.

According to the Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord.

The demon lords of the six major demon sects in Liang Kingdom mostly resisted the invasion of the demon race.

After all, people of their status would not want to be enslaved by demons.

……

a few days later.

Ding Qingfeng arrived at the Qingyun Sect.

Shen Xuan took him to pay his respects to Master Hanyu first.

Master Hanyu had a good impression of Ding Qingfeng.

Ding Qingfeng and Shangguan Mingyue served as Shen Xuan's alchemy apprentices and lived on Hanyu Peak for more than 20 years.

When Shen Xuan, Li Ruyi, and Hanyu Zhenren were developing the Hanyu Pill, the two of them worked diligently and conscientiously, without complaint.

In the blink of an eye, sixty years have passed.

Ding Qingfeng was already a second-level alchemist.

Master Hanyu gave Ding Qingfeng some words of encouragement.

Let him do as he sees fit.

If anything happens, you can report it to me at any time.

After leaving Hanyu Peak, Shen Xuan led Ding Qingfeng straight to the Alchemy Hall.

When his figure appeared in the main hall of the Pill Hall, the noisy hall instantly fell silent.

All the disciples of the Pill Hall, regardless of age, stopped what they were doing and bowed to Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan glanced at everyone and nodded slightly in return.

"Huang Yuan, Li Qi, Zhou Dan, the three of you stay. The rest of you, step down."

Soon, Shen Xuan sat down in the hall master's residence, with Ding Qingfeng standing by his side.

Huang Yuan, Li Qi, and Zhou Dan, the three direct disciples of the Immortal of Longevity, stood below, looking uneasy.

"Sit down."

Shen Xuan said calmly.

Huang Yuan glanced at Shen Xuan's expression and obediently sat down.

Li Qi and Zhou Dan exchanged a glance and sat down behind Huang Yuan.

"A few days ago, the sect decided that my master, True Person Hanyu, would serve as the head of the Alchemy Hall."

Shen Xuan paused for a moment and scanned the three of them with his divine sense.

“The three of you are all disciples of Senior Brother Changsheng, and have long served in the Pill Hall.”

"The past is the past, there's no need to bring it up again."

"From now on, do your job well. If you perform well, I will help you secure a chance to form your core."
