In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path-Chapter 969

Chapter 969: 389: Heavy casualties!

The truth behind the full-plan (seeking monthly pass)_2 Chapter 969: 389: Heavy casualties!

The truth behind the full-plan (seeking monthly pass)_2 “However, it was precisely because the eldest brother used the Blood of Heavenly Dao that he managed to block the thirteen Nascent Soul Evil Cultivators, even leveraging the will of the Insane Heavenly Dao to kill several of them…”

Her words paused, and with a low tone, she mournfully looked towards the corpse of Jiang Jian and said, “But provoking the madness of the Heavenly Dao leads to terrifying consequences.

Though the enemy paid a price, the eldest brother was also crushed by the will of the insane Heavenly Dao.

In that situation, the insanity of the Heavenly Dao’s will had not yet dissipated.

If that state had persisted for too long, a natural disaster would have inevitably occurred, and the second senior brother sacrificed his life to eliminate the major disaster of the Heavenly Dao…

...

However…”

A glint of confusion flashed across Su Yanyan’s beautiful eyes.

Chen Dengming’s heart stirred, “However what?”

“However, at that time, the utterly insane will of the Heavenly Dao suddenly began to recede rapidly.

I vaguely perceived that the Heavenly Dao was attracted to something else, diverting its attention…

It was because of this that the second senior brother’s Divine Spirit did not perish.

I personally witnessed his Divine Spirit departing, presumably attracted by the longevity incense in front of the Heaven Longevity Hall…”

At this, Su Yanyan’s bright beautiful eyes met Chen Dengming’s tiger-like gaze, both reflecting the worry emerging in their eyes.

The Heavenly Dao suddenly shifted its focus, allowing the second senior brother, Jiang Jian’s Divine Spirit, to narrowly escape—a likely effect of the Longevity Crescent incense attracting it.

Perhaps the Ancestor acted at that crucial moment.

Yet facing the Heavenly Dao, already driven mad by its own blood, even the Longevity Taoist Lord, Ancestor Lu Xiucheng, might be unable to contend, likely leading to unforeseen events.

Moreover, at that time, the Ancestor might have been embroiled in fierce combat with the Demon Lord of Different Domain.

“We can also think positively.

Perhaps we have already won, albeit at a terrible cost…”

Chen Dengming’s expression became grave and serious, conveying the words previously spoken by the deputy sect leader, Ji Zhixing.

If the Outer Domain Devil Lord had indeed fled and the Great Curtain Passage was already closed,

then the current situation might not be as dire as imagined.

After Chen Dengming finished speaking, he saw Su Yanyan sinking into contemplation.

He immediately turned his head, overlooking the ruined mountain gates, then gazed towards the distant skies filled with dark clouds that showed no signs of daylight.

Suddenly, beams of Spiritual Light, intertwined into dense ribbons of intense Spiritual Might, appeared from the dark horizon, roaring as they approached with great momentum.

Among them, several beams of astonishingly powerful Spiritual Light raced to the forefront, quickly closing the distance, and within them, Chen Dengming felt a familiar aura.

Chen Dengming’s gaze flashed, and he said in a deep voice, “The reinforcements from the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance have finally arrived.

With them here, I can now go look for the Ancestor with confidence.”

Su Yanyan’s face tightened upon hearing this, and she frowned, saying, “At this moment, the situation is still unclear.

We don’t know for certain if those Outer Realm Evil Cultivators have truly withdrawn, or if the Great Curtain Passage is indeed closed.

There might be deceit—you can’t get involved in this whirlpool of Divine Transformation that the masters are handling…”

Her beautiful eyes were full of sorrow, yet she turned away, not letting Chen Dengming see her expression, “Both the eldest and second senior brothers have met with misfortune.

You’re the Sect Leader, and I don’t want anything else to go wrong.

The Daoist successor of the Longevity Sect has not yet been decided, and this is your responsibility…”

Chen Dengming’s eyebrows knitted together, then reluctantly relaxed, looking at Su Yanyan’s slender yet stubborn figure.

Faintly, it seemed as though this figure overlapped with that from the past—a slender and stubborn figure.

Both seemed outwardly delicate and deserving of pity, yet possessed an underlying toughness and obstinate character.

However, the former was like a common grass, with poor qualifications, yet stubbornly oriented towards the sun, pursuing the Dao of Immortality, striving to laboriously follow his footsteps.

The latter was the third ancestor of the Longevity Sect, lacking neither resources nor Daoism, and possessed exceptional talents.

She could have pursued the Dao of Immortality under the protection of her senior brothers and master without any worries.

Still, born in troubled times, with both senior brothers gone, this third ancestor had to take up the responsibility of supporting the Longevity Sect and constantly reminding Chen Dengming to fulfill his role as a good Sect Leader.

“Don’t worry, I’ll send an incarnation to investigate.

There are many better and safer methods…”

Chen Dengming’s voice came through.

Su Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief and then turned her gaze towards the many cultivators rapidly approaching in the distance, murmuring.

“We should first clarify the exact situation with the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance.

This incident came too suddenly for us…”

…

Reinforcements from the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance were not timely enough to be considered prompt; they could only be said to have arrived to clean up the battlefield since opposing cultivators had already been expelled.

Chen Dengming wanted to politely thank those like Zuo Qiuling who came to help, but he found he no longer had the heart to voice his gratitude.

Deep down, there was also a trace of displeasure.

If Zuo Qiuling and others had arrived earlier, perhaps One Ancestor Fu Changyin wouldn’t have had to pay with his life.

However, this grievance he ultimately did not express, keeping it to slowly digest within himself.

He was aware that such sudden incidents were blameless to others.

The emotional direction is human nature, but it must not bias one’s mental state, as it could also lead to troubles in cultivation.

Zuo Qiuling and other arriving cultivators, seeing the ruined state of the Longevity Sect and the bodies of Fu Changyin and Jiang Jian, also felt a heavy weight in their hearts.

Being shrewd and observant, they chose not to stir emotions by mentioning their delayed arrival at such a time.

After a period of consoling, they spontaneously spread out to help treat the wounded and survey the surroundings.

Zuo Qiuling privately found Chen Dengming alone and handed him a long wooden pole.

“Care for a puff?

This is quite an interesting thing from the mundane world, paired with spiritual leaves meticulously cultivated by the Heavenly Fragrance Sect.

It sells well in the South Cloud Sea and can help relieve some stress…”
