Longevity: Start with the farming game!

Listening Heaven Pavilion, Star Gazing Tower.

In a spacious and magnificent room, there is a vast and boundless azure star chart.

At the center of the star chart lies a golden dragon-shaped metal magic treasure.

Beneath the star chart, dozens of cultivators in scarlet robes are observing.

Notably, they wear vermillion masks of constellations, obscuring their gender.

On the left breast of their robes, there is a simple pattern of the divine beast Vermillion Bird depicted in ancient纹 (wén) patterns.

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, a spot of black-red appeared in the azure star cluster at the lower right of the star chart.

And the color became deeper and deeper! Larger and larger!

Before the cultivators beneath the star chart could exclaim in alarm.

The dragon-shaped magic treasure's eyes lit up, and it spoke: “Demonic traces have appeared in Guanhai City!”

“I am the twenty-third princess, Ji Qingli, currently in Guanhai City, please Listening Heaven Pavilion quickly come to eliminate the demon!”

This dragon magic treasure repeated it three times before slowly closing its mouth.

Then, the golden dragon slightly raised its right claw and shot out a golden line, this golden line passed through the cities in the chart.

In an instant, it connected to the red dot, forming the best transmission route.

Those cities touched by the golden line had already entered a state of full-time readiness to cooperate with the Listening Heaven Pavilion!

Upon seeing this, the cultivators of Listening Heaven Pavilion discussed with even more unsightly expressions:

“The twenty-third princess is also in Guanhai City?”

“Hiss~ Troublesome!”

“This matter must be reported to the National Pillar, the Seven Lodgings, and the Vermillion Bird Lords; this is not something we Star Gazing Officials can handle!”

“Liu Eleven, go and report!”

“Yes!”

“If even the slightest mishap befalls the princess, we are all doomed!”

The crowd became even more fearful and apprehensive when they spoke of this.

According to what these Star Gazing Officials knew, the twenty-third princess's birth mother had been cast into the Cold Palace.

Therefore, this princess and her younger twin sister, the twenty-fourth princess, were not favored by the Emperor.

But even an unfavored princess is still a princess.

The death of anyone with royal blood is a momentous event!

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the crowd:

“Look, this 'Demon Mark' has reached five inches, reaching the C-Mid level!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked:

“What!!!” x N

One of the leading cultivators, after his body trembled, immediately spoke:

“No matter what, this matter must be urgently reported to the National Pillar! You also notify all departments to enter a state of battle readiness!”

As he spoke, his entire body immediately swayed, and like a gust of wind, he flew out of the hall and sped towards the center.

The rapid movement of this Star Gazing Official attracted the attention of the cultivators in the Listening Heaven Pavilion:

“Isn't that Jing Yi of the Well Lodging? Why is he in such a hurry? Has something big happened?”

“Yeah, judging by this momentum, it seems like the problem is quite big; we're going to be busy again…”

Before their voices faded, a majestic voice came from the Seven Lodgings Hall in the Listening Heaven Pavilion:

“All departments, pay attention! The Star Gazing Tower has detected a C-Mid level Demon Mark in Guanhai City!”

“All members enter a state of battle readiness!!!”

This voice repeated a full three times before stopping.

Subsequently, the communication tokens in the Listening Heaven Pavilion rang out in unison, beginning an orderly notification and gathering.

Even the communication tokens of the thousands of gatekeeper cultivators rang out.

“All departments, pay attention!”

“A C-Mid level Demon Mark has appeared!”

“All departments enter a state of battle readiness!”

… …

“Gulp!”

A young gatekeeper cultivator nervously swallowed his saliva and took out a memory stone, holding it up to his face to record:

“My name is Zhang Yihang.”

“I'm a little flustered right now, let me calm down…”

“Ahem!”

“My name is Zhang Yihang!”

“Only thirty-six years old! A genius.”

“Not long ago, I reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment! I heard that the treatment at Listening Heaven Pavilion is very good!”

“Fortunately, my second uncle, Zhang Erke, has some connections and brought me into Listening Heaven Pavilion!”

“What I didn't expect was that my second uncle is the captain of the gatekeeper team, so he arranged for me to become a gatekeeper team member…”

“I was very indignant at first; I am a genius!”

“Later, I discovered that all the colleagues in the team were young geniuses…”

“I then realized that in Listening Heaven Pavilion, being a genius is just the threshold for being a gatekeeper!”

“Clap!”

Before Zhang Yihang could finish speaking, the helmet he was wearing was heavily slapped.

At the same time, a middle-aged man's urgent whisper came:

“You brat, don't you even look at the occasion when you take selfies? If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!”

“Ai, I'm really afraid of you; how can you be such a bad nephew?”

Hearing this, Zhang Yihang quickly put away the memory stone, then looked at Zhang Erke with a flattering expression:

“Uncle, I'm just nervous; this is how I relieve my nervousness!”

“Besides, if I die one day, I can still leave some traces behind!”

“By the way, Uncle, what's going on with this C-Mid level? Can you tell me about it?”

After Zhang Erke heard his series of questions.

He was a little unhappy at first, but seeing that several team members were also looking over with curious eyes.

Zhang Erke coughed slightly to straighten his posture before slowly opening his mouth: “Since you are all acting in Listening Heaven Pavilion.”

“There are indeed some things you need to know!”

As Zhang Erke said this, he solemnly raised his left hand, his index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger rising and falling in turn:

“The Star Gazing Tower in Listening Heaven Pavilion uses the Southern Sea Star Chart to observe the demonic traces in the south!”

“Among them, the demonic traces will be displayed as demonic spots in the star chart; this demonic spot is also called a Demon Mark.”

“To classify the degree of harm, the Star Gazing Tower divides it into four levels: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding!”

“A Demon Mark of three inches or less is a Ding level!”

“Breaking through this size and reaching four inches or more is a Bing level!”

“Specifically…”

“Four inches: C-Low, equivalent to a Golden Core True Person!”

“Five inches: C-Mid, equivalent to a Nascent Soul True Lord!”

“The rest is top secret!”

Hearing this, Zhang Yihang nodded thoughtfully: “So C-Mid corresponds to a Nascent Soul True Lord!”

“Then sending several Nascent Soul True Lords to jointly eliminate the demon should be enough; why is everyone so nervous?”

Zhang Erke only sneered: “You misunderstood my meaning…”

“The meaning of a C-Mid Demon Mark being equivalent to a Nascent Soul True Lord is that this 'Demon' can easily crush and kill Nascent Soul cultivators!”

Zhang Yihang's pupils suddenly contracted, and in his trance, the long halberd in his right hand “clanged” and fell.

And several teammates beside him also lost their composure in shock: “How is that possible!” x N!

Zhang Erke only patted Zhang Yihang's shoulder: “Just guard the gate well; now you know the benefits of guarding the gate, right?”

Zhang Yihang swallowed his saliva and nodded repeatedly, at this moment only rejoicing in his heart, “It's good that I'm just a gatekeeper!”

… …

In the Vermillion Bird Hall in the center of Listening Heaven Pavilion, dozens of solemn and noble cultivators are gathering.

Among them, sitting at the very top.

Hovering is a woman with fiery red hair, even more graceful and extraordinary.

Adding to her magnificent fiery red cloud dress, her entire body exudes an aura of looking down upon the world.

She is one of the Four National Pillars — Vermillion Bird!

Endless colored light flickered in Vermillion Bird's eyes, and she slightly lowered her head to look at the hall:

“Wing and Chariot Divisions, follow me to Guanhai City; the other five divisions, stay behind to guard Listening Heaven Pavilion!”

As soon as Vermillion Bird's words fell, the cultivators in the hall immediately bowed respectfully:

“Yes! Lord National Pillar!” x N!

Seeing this, Vermillion Bird only slightly raised her head and said: “Activate the large teleportation array, target, Guanhai City!!!”
