Chapter 770: Chapter 675: Wait and See

Longevity Pavilion.

As one of the only two top forces in the Northern Territory, Longevity Pavilion was actually stronger than the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect.

Even ten thousand years ago, they occupied an important level within Xuanyuan Sword Sect, similar to Xuanyuan Sword Sect’s Pill Pavilion.

However, in contrast to the ostentatious Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, Longevity Pavilion was very low-key, hardly ever conflicting with neighboring forces. Even the way they ruled their subordinate forces was through resource monopolization, by turning them into elixirs and Dao Artifacts for sale to gain profit.

This approach was undoubtedly much gentler compared to forces like the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect and the Heavenly Fire Sect.

At least after the subordinate forces delivered various resources, they would receive corresponding rewards.

Some rewards might even be greater than the gain they would get from improperly handling the resources.

Exactly because they maintained an image of the "good old man," although Longevity Pavilion had more Immortal Masters and Daoist Masters, in people’s hearts, both powers were still considered equal, both belonging to the category of top-notch forces.

At this time, seven people gathered together in Longevity Pavilion.

Among these seven, three had vanished from the public eye hundreds of years ago, and there were rumors on the outside that they had fallen.

Especially one of the elders, who was Longevity Pavilion’s former Venerable Daoist Elder Dan Chenzi. In terms of lifespan, he was an ancient being who had lived for over two thousand years.

A thousand years ago, he had already stopped appearing before others. Within Longevity Pavilion, apart from a very few top beings, and his progeny and disciples, even the True Immortal Elders were unaware of his existence.

However, at this time, this Immortal Master of intimidating seniority was filled with emotion, "Every generation produces talented individuals who surpass the last. To defeat an army of the Northern Territory Alliance, consisting of a Profound Immortal, four Immortal Masters, dozens of Daoist Master Immortals, and hundreds of True Immortals and tens of thousands of Void Immortals with one’s own power... Such strength... already ranks as top-notch within the Profound Immortal Realm, yet the person with such cultivation is actually a young man under a hundred years old. I’m old, really old."

"Luckily, the Pavilion Master sought him out earlier and formed a good connection. With this trend, the battle between Creation Gate and Mo Family will at least be able to rule their own domains at least, and if things go bad... the Northern Territory might have a change of ruler."

Among the few, a woman dressed in palace attire, looking elegant and noble, said with a smile.

She was the Red Pine Immortal Master, specializing in pill refinement, and her alchemical skills were even higher than that of Dan Chenzi, whose name bore the word ’pill.’

"I’m not optimistic."

At this moment, a Daoist Master spoke.

Zhang Baijie, also known as Hundred Tribulations Daoist Master.

Although he was a Daoist Master, when he spoke, the gaze of several people in the room shifted onto him.

Before the Profound Immortal Realm closed off and secluded its world, Hundred Tribulations Daoist Master had once gone out to visit the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty and gained a tremendous inheritance, nurturing a Heavenly Dao of time derived from the Great Dao of time.

It’s just that since the nurturing of this Heavenly Dao is difficult, it has not yet been perfected to this day, but even a few Immortal Masters do not dare to underestimate him in the slightest.

"Don’t forget, Mo Family has never been an individual entity, and the Four Great Families are to some extent a whole. If Mo Family is in trouble, the other three will not just stand by."

Hundred Tribulations Daoist Master said.

"The main reason for the alliance of the Four Great Families is to confront the Xuanyuan Sword Sect. Against Xuanyuan Sword Sect, they can be unswervingly united, but Creation Gate is not Xuanyuan Sword Sect. The other families may not necessarily be willing to take action."

Red Pine Immortal Master said.

"It’s difficult to step in for justice, but if the Mo Family is willing to pay a certain price, they might be able to persuade the other families to intervene."

Tian Qingzi seemed thoughtful, "After all, those families can’t just watch Mo Family being wiped out by Xuanyuan Sword Sect. If that happens, the balance between them and Xuanyuan Sword Sect would be disrupted, which would lead to endless hidden dangers."

Hundred Tribulations Daoist Master nodded, "Whose deer the final victory belongs to remains to be seen, but it is truly astounding that Jiang Yufeng managed to achieve this."

His eyes showed a trace of marvel, "If my guess is correct, the inheritance he received is likely to be astonishing."

"What he obtained is an Innate Sacred inheritance, which even we cannot cultivate!"

Red Pine Immortal Master shook her head.

"An Innate Sacret inheritance? Can such beings still emerge in our Profound Immortal Realm’s environment?"

Hundred Tribulations Daoist Master said, "Or rather, could his true opportunity actually be a Supreme Treasure, or even a rich world capable of nurturing Innate Sacreds?"

At these words, a look of interest appeared in everyone’s expressions.

"Perhaps, we should deepen our cooperation with Creation Gate?"

Tian Qingzi suddenly said.

"Let’s wait and see first. We can talk more after the battle of the Mo Family is over,"

Dan Chenzi was still quite cautious, "If that Sacred God Jiang of Creation Gate can really withstand the pressure from the Four Great Families and suppress Mo Family, even if it is just sharing the Northern Territory with Mo Family, our Longevity Pavilion could forge a deeper alliance with them. But if he can’t bear it..."

"I believe that, regardless of the outcome, now is actually the best opportunity for us Longevity Pavilion to take a stance."

Tian Qingzi spoke, his voice involuntarily becoming solemn, "Don’t forget, Jiang Yufeng has been cultivating for less than a hundred years. Even if he fails and Creation Gate is destroyed, as long as he survives, Creation Gate will surely make a comeback one day."

His words made Dan Chenzi, Red Pine Immortal Master, and some Daoist Masters somewhat moved.

Yet, after a while, Dan Chenzi shook his head, "Enough, enough. Our Longevity Pavilion has stood tall until today by being cautious and careful. Taking a stand too early... is too dangerous."

"But... "

"I know what you mean. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. But Longevity Pavilion has never sought a meteoric rise."

Dan Chenzi uttered, "Let’s wait."

Tian Qingzi heard this and simply nodded his head.

He knew that it was exactly this kind of caution that prevented Longevity Pavilion from ever growing into a true overlord.

However...

It is precisely because of such caution that Longevity Pavilion’s traditions and heritage span longer and remain more intact than Xuanyuan Sword Sect.

Many times, they would even change the name of their Sect, or condescend to be under Xuanyuan Sword Sect as one of its Pill Pavilions, all for the sake of continuity.

Survival is the first and foremost element for Longevity Pavilion.

After all, a group engaged in Alchemy and the study of Immortal Techniques would hardly be regarded as a thorn in the side by any other force.

...

In the Void thirty thousand li away from the Mo Family,

Gu Jinlai floated atop the vast sea of clouds, undulating uncertainly with the rotation of the Star Field.

He had not traveled with Zhang Yukan and the others, but instead arrived early outside the Mo Family.

After all, just as he could launch a preemptive strike on the cultivators in the Baofeng Mountain Range, the Mo Family could also take advantage of his presence there to ambush the troops coming from Creation Gate.

The best method was to blockade.

To blockade right at the Mo Family’s doorstep.

In doing so, should the Mo Family truly intend to dispatch experts to sneak attack Creation Gate, Gu Jinlai would surely notice.

"A powerful force with a heritage spanning tens of thousands of years... No, the Mo Family was originally one of the lineages within Xuanyuan Sword Sect, just like the Ye Family in Creation Gate, a sect force that separated from Xuanyuan Sword Sect, indeed, such a force is formidable."

Gu Jinlai pondered briefly over the composition of the Northern Territory Alliance Army in the Baofeng Mountain Range.

Setting aside other factors, five hundred True Immortals and tens of thousands of Void Immortals.

Such numbers already exceed that of the entire Longevity World.

Of course, before the incursion of the Devils, the assembly of the Thirty-Six Cave Heavens and Seventy-two Holy Lands, plus the scale of Immortal Countries, might barely reach this figure.

But all these combined still equate to only about half of the Northern Region.

When considered against the entire Profound Immortal Realm, it might only account for one-tenth of its power.

From this, one can see the strength of a world that has inherited the Cultivation system for over a hundred thousand years.

The Mo Family, as an Overlord-level force in such a world, Gu Jinlai, even now, as he is on the brink of battle, does not dare slacken even slightly.

"Ultimately, my actual combat power still does not reach that of a Five-day Profound Immortal, while the founder of Xuanyuan Sword Sect was a Great Dao Golden Immortal."

While Gu Jinlai had immense respect for his opponent, his expression remained incredibly composed.

If the Mo Family inherited from Xuanyuan Sword Sect has the advantage of tens of thousands of years, how can one level the playing field of such extensive heritage?

His concentration focused on the Qing Lian.

"My power is sufficient, reaching the strength of a Five-day Profound Immortal; it’s just that I can’t harness it perfectly, so..."

With a thought, over a hundred strands of Qingguang quickly infused into the Eighteen Layers of Heaven Cultivation Method.

Suddenly, it was as if he had traversed mountains and rivers, witnessed the rise and fall of the sun and moon, and gazed upon the cosmic Star River, finding the essence of life within the vast universe, achieving a spiritual ascension.

Eighteen Layers of Heaven: Six Layers Heaven Perfection→Seven Layered Heavens Small Achievement.

"It hasn’t reached Perfection?"

Gu Jinlai was somewhat surprised.

But he quickly realized something.

Zhao Xi himself had only completed training in the Six Layers of Heaven; now, at most, he would just have achieved Seven Layered Heavens Small Achievement or even just be at the entry-level. In other words, everything beyond Seven Layers of Heaven belongs to the theoretical phase.

To complete the training of the next Three Realms within theoretical stages that were derived, it would understandably take far more time and effort than what was required before the Six Layers of Heaven.

"It looks like if I do conquer the Mo Family, I need to take note of their Spiritual Realm-related Cultivation Methods to perfect my progression from the Seven Layered Heavens to Nine Layers Heaven even further, or perhaps, once I have enough Qingguang, I can extrapolate on my own based on the foundation of the Eighteen Layers of Heaven..."

Gu Jinlai circulated the tremendous energy surging within him like a destructive torrent.

Seven Layered Heavens Small Achievement was not enough for him to maneuver his power with intricate detail.

At best, he could only maintain control, preventing situations where having ample power would be of no avail because one couldn’t wield it properly.

"To utilize the power of a Five-day Profound Immortal to its ultimate transformative state, it seems my Spiritual Realm must reach the Eighth Layer Heaven’s Mahayana..."

He glanced at his Qingguang.

To elevate to the Seventh Layer Heaven Perfection would require two hundred strands of Qingguang.

To ascend from Seventh Layer Heaven Perfection to Eighth Layer Heaven’s Mahayana, he estimated it would take around four to five hundred strands.

Thus, it was clear that the two methods could not be improved simultaneously.

After a moment’s deliberation between the Great Sun Eternal Method and the Eighteen Layers of Heaven, Gu Jinlai soon reached a decision: "Compared to raising my Spiritual Realm, increasing my overall energy capacity is clearly more beneficial for the upcoming battles."

Upon this thought, the remaining thousand strands of Qingguang were once again channeled into the Great Sun Eternal Method.

Terrifying waves of heat and energy radiated from him, causing subtle distortions in the air around.

This was a sign that the Great Sun Core was circulating within his body, releasing vast amounts of high temperature.

Great Sun Eternal Method: Perfect Fourth Realm→Perfect Fifth Level.

"Now, that is more like it."
