Sword Forest Tomb Chapter 1177: 463: The Might of Divine Transformation!
Sword Forest Tomb A sixtieth of a century might not seem long for a Nascent Soul True Monarch, being merely the duration of a single retreat, but neither is it short; for cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Stage or even the Foundation Establishment Stage, such a span of time is ample for achieving a lot, for striving and struggling or repeatedly stumbling and getting back up.
For the majority of cultivators in the Cultivation World, the war that unfolded in the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm, when the Outer Domain Devil Lord invaded long ago, seems to have passed into the mists of time and has become a legend that is occasionally mentioned by the older generation, its full picture and truth unknown.
After all, only a small portion of powerful cultivators participated in the wars of the Broken Heavenly Immortal World, leaving it relatively unknown to the common masses.
In contrast, the counteroffensive battle of the Four Seas and Four Realms that took place over a hundred years ago remains far more memorable; many of those who took part in that war have since become founders and patriarchs of their own sects.
When people talk about the deeds from that era, they do so with eyebrows dancing and great animation, and when mentioning certain individuals who had once been glorious on the battlefield, it’s hard to bypass the notable figures of the Longevity Sect and the Longevity Taoist Lord, as well as the Fighting Longevity Monarch.
...
“Does the Longevity Sect truly have such formidable figures?
I can believe the tales of the Immortal Longevity Path senior’s achievements—he was said to be one of the leaders of the Four Regions at the time.
But that Senior Chen, the Fighting Longevity Monarch, he was able to reverse-slay a Nascent Soul while still in the Golden Core Stage?
And not just one or two…
this…”
Within an elaborately constructed and spacious restaurant in a market district, a cultivator who had heard the rumors concerning the distinguished personages of the Longevity Sect couldn’t help but furrow his brows in disbelief.
As these words were spoken, others in the restaurant turned their gazes to an elderly man with long eyebrows seated at the head table, with several people bowing respectfully to him.

This elder with long eyebrows had himself walked through the battlefields of old.
Now the proprietor of this restaurant, he was amiable and well-informed; many cultivators who came to linger in this market district loved to settle down here and listen to the elder’s recounting of past wartime conditions.
When the elder heard someone cast doubt, he was not annoyed.
He had told this story too many times and been questioned by many.
After all, the events that transpired a century ago, especially something as preposterous as a Golden Core slaying a Nascent Soul, were bound to be met with skepticism, regardless of how earnestly he recounted them.
The younger generations remained mostly unbelievers.
Ultimately, mediocrity is the norm in this world, and the exceptionally gifted are few and far between.
Most people believe that if they, or even those whom they admire and deem more outstanding than themselves, cannot achieve certain feats, then it’s impossible for anyone else to do so.
But as for the many deeds of that Fighting Longevity Monarch, the elder with long eyebrows had indeed heard and seen with his own eyes.
Although he had never witnessed them in person, having lived through that tumultuous era, he was well aware of the truth and falsehoods.
“Young man, there are not a few who question the Fighting Longevity Monarch like you do, but you must know that the titles of Nascent Soul True Monarchs with renown are seldom self-proclaimed,”
the long-eyebrowed elder said with a mild smile, “The title of ‘Fighting Longevity Monarch’ was, in fact, acknowledged and bestowed upon Senior Chen by all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Four Seas and Four Realms at the time, and even the foreign enemies from beyond our domain were well aware of this title and dreaded it.”
“It’s always blown out of proportion like this.
After all, it was something that happened a century ago—who can know what’s true and what’s false?
I’ve heard that when the Fighting Longevity Monarch was in the late stages of Golden Core, he slew an Outer Domain Nascent Soul with the help of an Elder from the Yingyue Sect.
As for all the other Outer Domain Nascent Souls, I’m afraid there might also have been some external assistance…”
At that moment, a discordant voice travelled up from the lower floor.
The crowd was slightly perturbed and all eyes turned towards the stairway, only to see a slim willowy woman with long, beautiful legs and snow-white skin, surrounded by a group of people, ascending the stairs.
She had phoenix eyes and willowy eyebrows, a straight nose, and her face bore a somewhat obstinate and competitive expression.
Yet, her astounding beauty and haughty, icy demeanor made all men present feel inferior while also having unrealistic cravings for her.
“This is…
it’s the Holy Maiden Ju Shiqin of the Mingguang Sect…”
“I didn’t expect it to be her.
She suddenly appeared here; could there be some new exchange between the Mingguang Sect and the Longevity Sect?”
“I heard that the Mingguang Sect had a dispute with the Longevity Sect over the Spread Area incident more than a decade ago.
Although the situation was suppressed, there were still some rifts between them.”
“Enough noise!”
The stunningly beautiful Ju Shiqin’s eyes swept across the room like cold lightning.
Two screams immediately emanated from a secluded corner of the restaurant, where two cultivators were quietly exchanging whispers.
Both shook as if chaff in the wind, spewing blood and collapsing to the ground.
The elder with long eyebrows showed a slight change in his complexion, quickly getting up and bowing with a smile, “Please calm down, Senior Ju!
This humble old man was simply recounting what he had seen and heard from those years.
If there have been any inaccuracies, please take them as mere jests and do not implicate these guests…”
Ju Shiqin gave a cold smile, and suddenly her expression softened as she stared intently at the elder with long eyebrows, “You as the shopkeeper are indeed righteous, daring to speak to me so on behalf of these guests, a warm-hearted person.
But if what you have recounted of those past events is wrong, then you are deceiving the people, and you should be punished for your error!”
As she uttered the last word “punished,” though her tone was incredibly soft, it struck the elder’s heart like thunder.
The elder with long eyebrows immediately trembled violently, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, staining his white beard as if it were dotted plum blossoms.
“Uncle Jiang—”
A Qi Cultivation Stage waiter from the restaurant rushed forward in alarm to support him.
…
In the Palace of the Immortal King within the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Chen Dengming had been sitting in front of Heaven Blessings Hall for ten days.
After recovering the heart force and mental energy he had expended, he once again attempted to comprehend the Heaven’s Blessing Tao’s Intention within the hall.
Previously, he had also encountered Qi of Heavenly Luck and could simply transform Heavenly Immortal Dao Power into Qi of Heavenly Luck, which to a certain extent could enhance one’s fortune and avert disasters in the short term.
