In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path

Chapter 686

?Chapter 686: 293: Laugh arrogantly at the universe, true to our generation, reflecting each other’s loyalty as close friends (unconditional additional update)_3 Chapter 686: 293: Laugh arrogantly at the universe, true to our generation, reflecting each other’s loyalty as close friends (unconditional additional update)_3 At this moment, inside the large formation, seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs sat, emanating radiance like the sun, guarding this border with unyielding determination for four straight years.

Even though the lifespan of a Nascent Soul True Monarch is incredibly long, making four years seem like a footnote, the spiritual energy within the Sealing Immortal Formation was ample, almost akin to a Grade-five Spirit Vein, causing no hindrance to their cultivation.

However, once one reaches their level, cultivation isn’t something that can show results over a mere few years.

It’s quite normal to hit a plateau and be unable to make progress.

Being stuck in one place for such a long period can be quite difficult to bear.

Luckily, as per the agreement with the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance, they would rotate guardianship of the Sealing Immortal Formation every five years, offering them a chance for relief.

But lately, waves of imposing divine senses have been sweeping across the Spirit Thunder Layer, leaving the seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs on guard inside the Sealing Immortal formation with a sense of foreboding.

...

They had an inkling that something critical was about to happen- otherwise, why would the divine senses of these Deity Transformation Dao Lords be appearing so frequently?

“Elder Brothers, it appears that the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance intends to make some moves.

Perhaps a counterattack…”

Among the seven Nascent Souls, Xing Huiguang, with his outrageously long mustache, spoke to the Elder Jiang Jian and Venerable Fu Changyin of the Longevity Sect seated opposite him.

Jiang Jian didn’t even bother lifting his eyelids and grumbled, “Stop it, don’t say another word.

Those bastards have been chanting the same thing over and over, and frequently name-call my Longevity Sect as ancient turtles.

I bet they are nothing more than turtles themselves!”

As the second ancestor of the Longevity Sect, despite not having lived as long as the first ancestor, he had lived over 1,400 years, eaten more Spirit Fruits than ten generations of Qi Cultivators had eaten Spirit Rice.

He could clearly see the unfavorable tide of the future.

Venerable Fu Changyin, the first ancestor, opened his eyes and sighed.

“The shifts are set every five years, but the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance only decides to make a move when the guardian rotation is imminent.

Very clever indeed.”

Hearing this, the expressions of Hualong True Monarch Shangguan Linjiang, Dao Monarch Xuanchenniao, Elderly Nascent Soul of Shu Sword Pavilion Jiao Zheng, and Min Yunjiang of the Five Elements Escape Sect, who were all a part of this guard, darkened.

If the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance was thinking of launching a counter-attack at the moment of the guard rotation, then they, being Nascent Soul cultivators from the Four Regions, were most certainly in the line of fire.

After all, it was their home sects that were facing the onslaught and compromises made by the Heretic Immortals.

When a counter-attack is sounded, they would naturally be in the vanguard.

The Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator replacements from the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance could then peacefully take charge of the Sealing Immortal Formation, and avoid any desperate scrambling in the Four Regions.

Such matters should ideally excite them, and they should understand the situation, considering it was their sects that were compromised, not someone else’s.

If the cultivators of the Four Seas wanted to help, that would be a favor.

If they didn’t, that would still be within their rights.

Yet this feeling of having their actions dictated, the feeling of transparency, left them feeling exceptionally repellent.

Once the Heretic Immortals finish consuming the Four Regions and tear open more veils, invading the Four Seas, even the Deity Transformation Dao Lords will find it hard to escape the disaster.

All these intricate plots and schemes might naturally involve the interests of all sects and is considered normal under the circumstances.

However, it is distressing at its core, reflecting the harsh reality.

Even for Nascent Soul True Monarchs, as long as they have entanglements and need resources or benefits, they can’t truly live freely.

Suddenly, the formation began to ripple with surges of spiritual energy as a warning.

The seven cultivators immediately went on high alert.

However, after sensing the familiar ferocious aura, they all wore strange expressions, seemingly distressed.

Seeing an enemy often enrages you more.

Dao Monarch Xuanchenniao’s eyes flickered with sharp electric lights as he growled through his divine sense.

“Dongfang Huayuan, have you still not given up?

You won’t be able to burst through the Sealing Immortal Formation.”

“Xuanchenniao, it’s by no means necessary for a defeated subordinate to bark at me.

I’m here to tell you that the longer you continue with your self-seclusion, the closer they get to completing the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Sacrifice Dao Domain…”

“Crocodile tears!” snorted Xuanchenniao.

“I was wrong about you.

It was you who betrayed the Four Regions, and now you’re the one talking about remedial measures?

Save your sinister, deceptive tricks!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xuanchenniao marshaled his forces, with the other six following swiftly.

Suddenly, a huge sound reminiscent of roaring waves paired with vigorous spiritual energy ascended, activating the Sealing Immortal Formation.

It turned into a tremendous Spiritual Blade that emitted dreadful pressure as it slashed out.

From outside the Spirit Thunder Layer, a furious shriek from Dongfang Huayuan, also known as Demon Star echoed.

“Believe it or not, it’s up to you!”

This resounding voice vibrated at high frequencies, scattering the clouds and fog within hundreds of meters.

“Whiz!”

He swiftly thrust his spear.

The spear tip created intense friction with the air, exploding into a crimson light.

A concentrated, high-pressure pillar of red spiritual energy shot forward.

Large swaths of the Spirit Thunder Layer’s thunderclouds were instantly torn apart, revealing a vast void where the gigantic formation and the Spiritual Blade collided.

Bang!

——

The spear light and the Spiritual Blade collided, causing a rapid increase in temperature and collapse, which burst open into a circular shockwave that spread out.

The surging power radiated in all directions.

In an instant, electric arcs shot out all over the Spirit Thunder Layer, creating a vacant area several miles in diameter.

The sunlight shone down, causing the surrounding accumulated clouds to gleam ominously.

In that barren area, Demon Star Dongfang Huayuan’s figure had disappeared without a trace.

Only a bizarre, writhing, flesh-like mass, radiating a rolling demonic aura, hovered in the air.

“What is that…”

“Such pure, concentrated demonic Qi!”

The faces of Xuanchenniao and the others paled…

…
