Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

After hearing Gu Changjin's words, Zhou Xuanyue's first reaction was that he had misheard.

He sat in the stone pavilion on the back mountain, his cup of spiritual tea pausing in his hand.

"What did you say?"

"Are you going to the front lines to defend the area?"

Gu Changjin sat opposite him, his expression calm.

"good."

"The Crimson Cloud Sect and my Profound Sun Sect have been at war for a long time, and the situation on the front lines is critical. Now that I have reached the Nascent Soul stage, it is only natural that I should share the burden for my sect."

Zhou Xuanyue remained silent.

The red-robed elder beside him also fell silent.

The two exchanged a glance.

No.

If someone else had said these words, they might have actually been moved.

But coming from Gu Changjin, it just didn't sound right.

Who is this old man?

When one's lifespan is about to end, one feigns death; when one's family is wiped out, one cries at the funeral and demands favors.

Now he has suddenly volunteered to go to the front line to guard it?

What a joke.

What is the front line?

That's not a cushy job.

The Xuan Yang Sect and the Chi Xiao Sect have already engaged in a fierce battle, and cultivators at the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core stages have died one after another.

The Nascent Soul Supreme does not move easily under normal circumstances.

Being able to remain still does not mean you are safe.

If you go to the front lines, the enemy's Nascent Soul cultivators will naturally also be eyeing you.

If the war escalates, it's not impossible that the Crimson Cloud Sect might suddenly deploy two or even three Nascent Soul cultivators to besiege the enemy.

Nascent Soul cultivators are difficult to kill, but they are not invincible.

Therefore, the sect's elders were not keen on taking on the task of guarding the front lines.

The longer you live, the more you cherish your life.

People cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage not to go to the front lines and risk their lives against others.

Zhou Xuanyue stared at Gu Changjin for a long time before tentatively saying, "Junior Brother Changjin, you've just formed your Nascent Soul, and your cultivation level still needs to be stabilized. The front lines are fraught with danger; perhaps you should wait a few more years?"

There naturally needs to be a title between those at the Nascent Soul stage and those at the Supreme level.

As fellow elders of the Xuan Yang Sect, they are considered fellow disciples based on their cultivation level, age, and the order in which they entered the Nascent Soul stage, which makes them seem closer.

We still need to have this pitiful sense of belonging.

Gu Changjin shook his head gently.

"Senior Brother Zhou, you are mistaken."

"Precisely because I have just achieved Nascent Soul, I should go to the front lines even more."

He sighed, a hint of shame on his face.

"When my lifespan was about to end, the sect did not abandon me."

"My family suffered a calamity, and my fellow disciples upheld justice for the family."

"After that, they even opened the Great Luo Secret Treasury and let me take the treasure."

"Such a great favor, if I, Gu, were to simply go into seclusion to consolidate my cultivation and enjoy the sect's resources, wouldn't that be utterly shameless?"

Zhou Xuanyue and the red-robed Supreme Elder exchanged another glance.

That's a beautifully said statement.

They were all a little taken aback by how beautiful she was.

Gu Changjin continued, "Moreover, the sect is currently in dire need of manpower. The Crimson Cloud Sect is being aggressive, and our Xuan Yang Sect disciples are fighting bloody battles on the front lines."

"As the supreme leader of the sect, how can I sit idly by on Spirit Path Peak?"

"I am going to the front lines not to seek great merit."

"I only ask to stabilize the situation for the sect and reduce the number of disciples who die, so that I can do my part."

At this moment, the red-robed elder's expression finally changed.

He originally thought that Gu Changjin must be plotting something bad.

But upon hearing this, I couldn't help but waver a little.

Could it be that they've misunderstood?

Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be the first time.

When the Gu family was ravaged by bloodshed, they also suspected that Gu Changjin practiced demonic arts and sacrificed his entire clan.

The results of it?

The person's nascent soul aura was completely pure, without a trace of resentment or karmic obstacles.

The Gu family members did indeed offer their sacrifice voluntarily.

Although the story sounds outrageous, the facts speak for themselves.

Now they suspect that Gu Changjin wouldn't act without personal gain.

Could it be wrong again?

Could this person truly possess a clear and enlightened mind, yet retain the innocence of a child?

It is precisely because he is selfless that he was able to break through to the nascent stage when his lifespan was about to end.

Zhou Xuanyue's gaze toward Gu Changjin slowly became complicated.

"Junior Brother Changjin..."

"It is I who am narrow-minded."

Gu Changjin's expression was solemn.

"Senior Brother Zhou, you flatter me."

"We are all Supreme Elders of the Xuan Yang Sect, and we should be of one mind and one heart."

The red-robed Supreme Being remained silent for a moment, then suddenly slammed his hand on the table.

"good!"

"With such a temperament, it's no wonder Junior Brother Changjin was able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Since you are willing to go to the front line to guard it, the sect naturally cannot let you go empty-handed."

Zhou Xuanyue nodded.

"good."

"There is already a batch of resources to be allocated at the front line. Since Junior Brother Changjin is personally in charge, you will have full authority to distribute these resources."

Gu Changjin's eyelids twitched slightly.

coming.

He knew then that his trip to the front lines hadn't been in vain.

Zhou Xuanyue raised his hand, took out a jade slip, and handed it to Gu Changjin.

"This is the second batch of support lists for the front lines."

"Regarding spirit stones, there are 5,000 top-grade spirit stones, 50,000 high-grade spirit stones, and a number of mid-grade and low-grade spirit stones."

"Healing pills, qi-replenishing pills, formation-breaking talismans, and protective talismans, totaling more than 200 boxes."

"In addition, there are nine Xuan Iron Warships and one main battle spirit ship."

"Accompanied by ten Golden Core elders, over a hundred Foundation Establishment deacons, and three thousand Qi Refining disciples."

"These people are nominally under your control."

The Crimson-Robed Elder added, "The front lines are currently being temporarily overseen by Yue Mingchuan. He is a late-stage Golden Core cultivator with extensive experience. You can have him assist you once you arrive."

"But the people we really need to be careful of aren't those below us."

His expression became more serious.

"The Supreme Elder of the Crimson Cloud Sect who was transferred to the front line this time is Li Chenyuan."

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm"

"This person is ruthless and cunning, with extremely ruthless methods; he is not someone to be trifled with."

Gu Changjin nodded.

"Li Chenyuan..."

He remembered the name.

The red-robed elder continued, "At the beginning, the Nascent Soul cultivators of both sides should not easily make a move."

"Once the Nascent Soul moves, the intensity of the battle changes completely."

"But if the fighting below is too fierce, or if the Crimson Cloud Sect wants to test you, a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, then it's hard to say."

"Junior Brother Changjin, be careful."

A hint of emotion appeared on Gu Changjin's face.

"Don't worry, senior brothers."

"I, Gu, will certainly live up to the expectations of the sect on this journey."

He spoke with genuine sincerity.

In his mind, however, he had already begun to plan for those spirit stones, more than 200 boxes of pill talismans, nine black iron warships, and a main battle spirit ship.

Right to allocate frontline resources.

This is good stuff.

By simply making a few tweaks to the rules, the savings can be substantial.

Moreover, the Crimson Cloud Sect also has resources.

Taking the enemy's resources makes us feel less guilty.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Zhou Xuanyue became even more satisfied.

"In that case, I will issue the order immediately."

"Tomorrow morning, you will lead the second batch of support cultivators to the front lines."

……

The news quickly spread throughout the Xuan Yang Sect.

Emperor Gu personally guarded the front line.

The moment these words were uttered, the disciples of each peak erupted in an uproar.

"Is Mrs. Gu going to the front lines?"

"He's only just reached the Nascent Soul stage!"

"This is a true sect leader! He has just reached the Nascent Soul stage, yet he is willing to guard the battlefield for his sect."

"I heard that Grandmaster Gu also said that we should try to reduce the number of disciples dying on the front lines."

"Alas, the Gu family is full of loyal martyrs, and their ancestor is so righteous, no wonder they were able to produce a Nascent Soul cultivator."

As these kinds of statements are passed around, they become more and more outrageous.

Some say that Gu Changjin did this to repay the great kindness of his sect.

Some say that after losing his entire clan, he turned the entire Xuan Yang Sect into his new Gu family.

Some people say that Master Gu once looked out at the front line from Lingdao Peak, sighed, and said that he did not want to see the sect disciples die as tragically as the Gu family members.

In short.

Gu Changjin's character was already established even before he set off.

The next morning.

Outside the Xuan Yang Sect's mountain gate.

The massive main battleship hovered in mid-air.

The ship's hull is jet black, covered with dense array patterns, and from a distance it looks like a steel mountain lying across the clouds.

Nine black iron warships stood guard on both sides.

Ten Golden Core Elders stood at the bow of the ship.

Hundreds of Foundation Establishment deacons were stationed in various places.

Three thousand Qi Refining disciples filled the deck, each with a tense yet excited expression.

This is their second batch of reinforcements to support the front lines.

The leader of this group was a Nascent Soul Supreme.

Gu Changjin arrived, stepping through the air.

The gray-white robes were fluttering in the mountain wind.

He landed at the very front of the main battleship.

All the monks bowed in unison.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Gu Changjin looked down at the sea of ​​clouds, his expression calm.

"Set off."

boom!

The spirit ship's array patterns lit up.

Ten enormous ships broke through the clouds and roared toward the front line where the Xuan Yang Sect and the Chi Xiao Sect were fighting.
