?Chapter 274: 139: Heaven knows, earth knows, I don’t know, nurturing Gu Daoist is like old knowledge (Seeking monthly pass)_2 Chapter 274: 139: Heaven knows, earth knows, I don’t know, nurturing Gu Daoist is like old knowledge (Seeking monthly pass)_2 Chen Dengming felt perplexed, sensing that things were not as simple as they seemed.
When travelling outside, if one is in a bustling and crowded place, it’s easier.
In the event of trouble, revealing one’s identity and status can bring a certain amount of respect, even from golden core cultivators, all out of face for the Changchun and the Longevity Sect.
But if one encounters trouble in a remote, desolate place, revealing your identity and status might not necessarily work.
Chen Dengming took out the note from his storage bag to check.
“To deal with minor issues, channel spiritual energy into the Changchun Command Token.
To deal with major issues, channel spiritual energy into the Longevity Command Token.”
The note was signed with the four characters, ‘Changchun True Monarch’, the handwriting was vigorous and forceful, deeply penetrating.
...
Chen Dengming’s eyes lit up as he pondered the difference between minor and major troubles.
Now that he had reached the later stages of Foundation Establishment, could a cultivator with a false core be considered minor trouble?
And what counted as a major trouble, a Golden Elixir Truth Man?
“That doesn’t seem quite right.
A cultivator with a false core is powerful, but they may not necessarily pose a threat to my life.
If I put all my effort into escaping, there’s still a high chance that I can get away.

Even if I encounter them in a desolate wildness, if I reveal my identity and they don’t have absolute confidence, they wouldn’t dare to make things difficult for me…
That also can’t be considered trouble…”
His Wood Escape Skill was now about to break through to the Grandmaster level, so his ability to escape would rise to another level.
Even if he couldn’t beat a cultivator with the false core, he was still confident of escaping, unless he found himself in heavily challenging terrains such as deserts or large bodies of water.
“So, perhaps, minor trouble refers to a Golden Elixir Truth Man?
And major trouble refers to a Nascent Soul True Monarch?”
By the end, Chen Dengming felt like he was imagining things too extravagantly.
If a Nascent Soul elder really wanted to deal with him, the only thing he could do was to consider in the space of a split-second, what kind of posture he could die in so that his death would maintain some dignity.
He wouldn’t even have time to take out the command token.
“More prudently, let’s say that minor trouble refers to cultivators in the False Core or early Golden Core stage, and major trouble refers to cultivators in the mid or later Golden Core stages…
It feels somewhat unreliable to deal with late-stage Golden Core cultivators…
But at least it is certain that Golden Core cultivators can be handled.”
No matter what, after making such a calculation in his mind, much of Chen Dengming’s distress and worry faded.
It felt so good to have a sect and a supporting umbrella.
With these two badges, he could walk with his back straighter.
He could introduce himself as Chen if he wished, but if he couldn’t, then he would have to reveal the badges.
His mood improved tremendously for a while, although a doubt emerged in his mind.
Why did the sect leader give him these two command tokens as gifts when he broke through the late stage of Foundation Establishment?
He hadn’t gifted anything when Sister He had her breakthrough, had he?
“Perhaps she was given something, but I wasn’t aware of it…
They couldn’t possibly treat us differently…
I’ll ask Sister about it later and see what she received.”
Chen Dengming urged the spirit boat to move faster, breaking through the huge curtain of rain and heading straight towards the increasingly close Jiamu Pass Luo Family.
Along the way, you could observe the sparsity of human settlements, and large tracts of ordinary human kingdoms which were once teeming with people now deserted.
Some land that was once occupied by cultivating families is still inhabited by some families, with even fights over resources breaking out among them.
The two-year war not only led to numerous cultivators dying prematurely but caused even more fatalities among ordinary people.
Cultivation families and sects in the Eastern Region still tend to support ordinary people, and some loose cultivators even live among the ordinary people, spreading their descendants.
But the Demon cultivators who have invaded from the Western Region don’t care much, ordinary people have become food for them and demonic beasts, or fodder for the souls in the Soul Attracting Banner of the Soul Devouring Sect’s cultivators.
Chen Dengming flew across several battlefields where family cultivators were fighting, using the spirit boat.
Even from a distance, the power of the spirit boat filled the combative parties with awe and forced them to ceasefire.
“I wonder which senior from Changchun Sect is passing by?
Given the current storm, my Liu Family is willing to provide a rest room for you, to welcome and clean you from your journey!”
As he passed a somewhat spiritual hill, a voice filled with old age and politeness invited him from a luxurious cultivation family on the hill.
“Thank you for your invitation, I am in a hurry and it would be inappropriate to trouble you!”
Chen Dengming replied nonchalantly through his divine sense and continues to pilot the spirit boat away.
“A cultivator in the late stages of Foundation Establishment?”
Below, an old cultivator in the mid-stage Foundation Establishment was shocked while also showing disappointment and respect.
He, however, did not display surprise, after all, the other party was in control of Changchun Sect’s spirit boat.
Along the way, Chen Dengming was invited by several cultivation families to be their guest.
It seems that by using the renowned trademark of Changchun Sect, even a wild dog on the road would wag its tail and bark amiably when it sees it.
Eventually, to avoid the trouble, he sent the spirit boat soaring into the sky, picking up speed as he went.
He wasn’t some greenhorn who just stepped into the world, accepting every kind and friendly invitation with a smile.
If he did that, he wouldn’t even realize when he’d been sold.
It’s important to bear in mind that the plaque of Changchun Sect coupled with his status as a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, are enough to make any Cultivation Family in the Eastern Region thrilled to have him, and intimidate other hostile families from acting rashly.
This brings numerous benefits to their own family, however, it’s also possible that it can cause trouble for him.
Therefore, now that he has the identity of a disciple of a major sect, he needs to be more cautious and avoid being used or duped by ‘friendly strangers’.
…
After only about a thousand miles, with the speed of the spirit boat, he arrives within a quarter of an hour.
The rain had become lighter after traveling a thousand miles.
Jiamu Pass is like a giant beast sprawling across the plains.
The massive and towering walls appear before his eyes like mountains, shrouded in a hazy rain mist, appearing grand and majestic.
There are many businesses of cultivation families and sects in the city, the spiritual lights flicker amidst the rain fog in the sky, giving off the feeling of snowy robes in the wide and misty rain.
