Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 147: Wu Changqing's Invitation

In the past year and a half, they haven't made much progress.

There was only one incident when the Elder of the Hall and the Peak Master of the Snow Mist Peak, Ma Youdao, came to their doorstep. Qi Ziheng and Zhu An happened to be discussing matters in the Cave Mansion at that time, so they captured Ma Youdao.

With this, they only needed the Fire Cloud Elder Pang Hua from the Chixiao Peak and the Black Sand Elder Song Mei from the Luan Yan Peak.

In the following month, they successively captured these two individuals under the pretense of treating them to tea and discussing matters.

Things progressed very smoothly, without causing any commotion. Jiang Mo and the other elders still had no idea about their conspiracy.

Although Pang Hua and Song Mei were somewhat displeased, their lives were already in the hands of the old demon, so they had no choice but to obey.

The five of them had all become demonic cultivators, with Elder Yin Guang, Qi Ziheng, as their leader.

They occasionally gathered together to discuss their next actions.

They didn't plan on involving any other inner sect elders anymore.

Elder Tang from the Pill Refining Pavilion was a reclusive person and couldn't be persuaded.

Elder Jiang Deli, Elder Luo Lie from the Martial Hall, and Elder Guo Yan from the Punishment Hall were all extremely powerful.

Although the five of them could join forces to deal with any one of them, it would inevitably cause a commotion, which would be unfavorable.

They could, however, involve some key inner sect disciples and a few high-ranking elders from the outer sect.

After eavesdropping on them for such a long time, Chu Ming still didn't know their specific plan.

Later, he found out that even Qi Ziheng didn't know the exact plan.

Because the old demon hadn't informed him yet. He would only let him know when the time was right.

This old demon seemed to be very cautious, afraid of the plan being leaked.

Chu Ming had previously checked some ancient texts but didn't find any information about this old demon.

When he asked Long Linger, she also didn't know.

It seemed that this old demon was sealed underground by some powerful figure after her parents left.

However, no one knew who exactly it was or how it was sealed.

But the strength of this old demon was absolutely terrifying. If he were released, the Jin Kingdom would not be peaceful.

If possible, Chu Ming naturally wanted to stop them.

After finally finding a place to cultivate in peace, he naturally didn't want to change it easily.

Moreover, if the Jin Kingdom fell into chaos, there wouldn't be a suitable place to go.

The Jin Kingdom had the National Protection Array, which could isolate the land from the spiritual wilderness realm, preventing the invasion of terrifying evil spirits and extreme disasters from the spiritual wilderness realm.

If he wanted to escape to the nearest neighboring country, the Wei Kingdom, he would have to travel eight thousand miles through the spiritual wilderness realm.

If his divine soul hadn't reached the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, even flying in the sky would cause him to lose his way in the clouds and mist, ultimately leading to a dead end.

However, he still hadn't found an opportunity to stop them, and using too obvious methods would easily expose himself.

He could only wait and see.

On this morning, after finishing his surveillance, Chu Ming continued to cultivate by the lake.

Long Linger leaped out of the water, her body growing a few feet longer, reaching over ten feet in length.

Chu Ming sensed her strength and was surprised to find that she had already reached the Foundation Building Late Stage.

Unable to help himself, he laughed and said, "You've broken through to the Foundation Building Late Stage?"

"Isn't this speed a bit too fast?"

He felt that his cultivation speed was already fast enough, but compared to Long Linger, he was far behind.

Long Linger's agile and slender body circled around him, smiling as she said, "I've been holding back for over three thousand years. What's so fast about this?"

Chu Ming thought about it and realized that she was right. She had exceptional talent to begin with, and she also had the Dragon Pearl to assist her cultivation.

It's not difficult to cultivate to the Foundation Building Late Stage within two years.

Long Ling'er smiled and said, "That's nothing. Soon, I can give you an even bigger surprise, hehe."

Chu Ming was about to ask what the surprise was, but he sensed someone approaching outside the Cave Mansion.

He glanced from a different perspective and saw that it was Song Yu, that kid. What was he here for?

Chu Ming left from the space and returned to the Cave Mansion.

The senior and junior sisters were practicing on their own, so Chu Ming didn't disturb them.

He went to the hall and, after hearing a knock on the door outside the Cave Mansion, walked to the door and opened it.

"Senior Brother Song, why are you here?" Chu Ming asked, pretending to be surprised.

Song Yu cupped his hands and smiled, "Junior Brother Chu, long time no see. I apologize for the intrusion today."

Chu Ming waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. It's just that my wife is meditating at home and doesn't want to be disturbed."

"I was actually thinking of inviting Senior Brother in for a cup of tea, but it's not very convenient..."

Song Yu lightly laughed and shook his head, "It's alright, I just came to deliver a message to Junior Brother."

"Junior Brother, Senior Brother Wu will be celebrating his 300th birthday tomorrow night and wants us to go and congratulate him."

"It's been a while since he last saw you, so he wants you to come."

Oh? Old man Wu Changqing is already 300 years old?

For an ordinary cultivator at the Foundation Building Mid Stage, there isn't much time left at this age.

According to common sense, he should go.

Chu Ming thought for a moment.

He had previously overheard Qi Ziheng and others' plan to bring Wu Changqing down.

Perhaps he could use this opportunity to create some commotion and make Jiang Mo and other high-level members notice the invasion of demonic cultivators into the sect.

So Chu Ming nodded and said, "Senior Brother has taken care of me before, so of course I will go to his 300th birthday celebration."

"Ah, it's just that the financial power at home is not in my hands. I don't have many spirit stones on me, so I can't give a decent gift."

"If it's convenient for Senior Brother Song, could you lend me some spirit stones?"

Song Yu thought for a moment and smiled, "Senior Brother also knows about Junior Brother's difficulties. There's no need for Junior Brother to give any gifts. Your presence tomorrow night is enough."

Chu Ming nodded, "In that case, I can rest assured."

The next night, they arrived at the residence of Wu Changqing at the foot of the Shengxu Peak.

There weren't many people congratulating Wu Changqing, apart from some people from his family, there were only five inner disciples who came to congratulate him.

When Wu Changqing saw Chu Ming holding a bag of spirit fruits worth less than ten spirit stones to congratulate him, his face turned extremely ugly.

They spent over two hours eating the meal.

When it was time to disperse, everyone else left, but Wu Changqing specifically asked Chu Ming to stay and called him to a separate room.

Wu Changqing couldn't help but say, "Nephew, you brought those two spirit fruits to congratulate Senior Uncle?"

"After Senior Uncle has taken care of you in so many ways, don't you think about repaying him at all?"

Chu Ming smiled bitterly and said, "I naturally remember Senior Uncle's kindness towards me."

"But ever since I married my wife, the financial power at home has been in her hands."

"I had to ask her for the spirit stones to buy these spirit fruits."

Upon hearing this, Wu Changqing's face showed displeasure.

But he still tried to say calmly, "Nephew, I heard that your wife loves you deeply."

"She risked her life to find cultivation techniques for you and even gave you her own sword."

"Are you so reluctant to repay Senior Uncle?"
