Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 449 - 256: If I Seek to Attain the Divinity Transformation Realm, I Have No Need for Such Things!

The arrival of Cangjian True Monarch and True Monarch of Yin and Yang instantly elevated the atmosphere of this Nascent Soul ascension ceremony to its peak.

All the disciples of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect turned their eyes toward the sect’s entrance, where two figures of extraordinary bearing, commanding respect without anger, appeared. It was hard for them not to be taken aback.

In Beihua State, if one were to ask who deserves the most reverence and fear, it would naturally be Cangjian Pavilion’s Supreme Elder, Cangjian True Monarch, Yin Yang Mansion’s Supreme Elder, True Monarch of Yin and Yang, and their own Supreme Elder, Qingyun True Monarch.

Together, these three are the heavens of Beihua State, almost deciding everything within the state, with no one able to oppose them, nor daring to oppose them.

However, these three have such noble statuses that even their own Supreme Elder, Qingyun True Monarch, is as elusive as the dragon’s head, difficult to see, much less Cangjian True Monarch and True Monarch of Yin and Yang.

It was unexpected that today, Cangjian True Monarch and True Monarch of Yin and Yang personally visited the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, allowing them to witness the presence of these two True Monarchs firsthand.

More importantly, the gathering of the three True Monarchs of Beihua State is an extremely rare sight.

And all this was merely to congratulate the sect’s newly promoted Second Supreme Elder, Qi Chuan True Monarch, on advancing to the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Upon deeper thought, however, this was only natural.

Because this isn’t simply one person advancing to the Nascent Soul but represents the grand occasion of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect having dual Nascent Souls, propelling it to the foremost sect in Beihua State.

Regarding this, as the two other Nascent Soul Major Sects in Beihua State, neither Cangjian Pavilion nor Yin Yang Mansion could afford to be neglectful, prompting the Supreme Elders of both sects to visit personally.

When Cangjian True Monarch and True Monarch of Yin and Yang finally entered the Myriad Flowers Hall, the boiling excitement among the disciples of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect only slightly subsided.

Next came several Core Formation influences, with many Core Formation True Masters arriving successively to pay their respects and congratulate, and announcements of their arrivals echoed from the sect’s entrance.

Though these Core Formation True Masters also held positions of high status, the disciples of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, having seen Cangjian True Monarch and True Monarch of Yin and Yang, reacted slightly more indifferently to them, allowing the Nascent Soul ascension ceremony to resume a normal flow.

The original seating arrangements in the Myriad Flowers Hall had been completely removed.

The primary seat above had been temporarily retracted.

Four seats were arranged at the forefront, where Qingyun True Monarch, Cangjian True Monarch, True Monarch of Yin and Yang, and Qi Chuan were seated respectively.

Inside the main hall, many seats were arranged, occupied by numerous Core Formation True Masters, including Zhao Ming and other Core Formation True Masters of the sect, as well as those from other influences who came to offer congratulations.

At this moment, even these Core Formation True Masters of high status and prestige would intermittently cast their gazes toward the four figures seated at the forefront of the main hall, while eating spirit fruits, drinking spirit tea, and chatting with familiar friends.

This was the first time even they had witnessed such a scene.

All the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of Beihua State had gathered under one roof, conversing face-to-face.

This made them secretly click their tongues in awe.

At the forefront of the main hall, Qi Chuan, dressed in a specially made red ceremonial robe, sat in the most conspicuous position.

By this time, some of the early procedures of the ceremony had already been completed, and Qi Chuan had even accepted the gifts presented by Cangjian True Monarch, True Monarch of Yin and Yang, and numerous Core Formation True Masters to congratulate him on newly entering the Nascent Soul.

Cangjian True Monarch and True Monarch of Yin and Yang both presented some Tier Four resources, which were of immense value.

Meanwhile, the Core Formation True Masters in the hall offered some Tier Three resources, which were also quite commendable.

Qi Chuan had indeed come into a sizable fortune.

"Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan, you entered the Nascent Soul Realm at such a young age, with a long lifespan ahead. When I eventually pass away, should there be a gap in succession at Cangjian Pavilion, I hope you will look after us."

Even as Cangjian True Monarch participated in the ceremony, sitting on a chair, a large sword slanted across his back, Qi Chuan only needed a glance to recognize it as at least a Tier Four Spirit Treasure.

Cangjian True Monarch’s figure was robust, with a square and determined face, eyes sharp as swords, exuding an overwhelming sense of righteousness, though his hair, tied up, was a mix of black and white, with white dominating, giving him the appearance of a middle-aged elder.

Nonetheless, the sense of decline around Cangjian True Monarch wasn’t overly pronounced; for the time being, his lifespan remained secure.

But Cangjian True Monarch’s words to Qi Chuan were not unfounded.

Through his investigation, Cangjian True Monarch found Qi Chuan to be astonishingly young.

Nascent Soul True Monarchs have a lifespan of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred years, depending on whether they suffered severe internal injuries or practiced cultivation methods that drain life force.

If one cultivates steadily without practicing any demonic cultivation techniques, a healthy Nascent Soul True Monarch can generally live to thirteen or fourteen hundred years. Life-extending elixirs and spirit items can stretch this even further, to fifteen hundred years.

Qi Chuan gave Cangjian True Monarch the impression that he might have practiced some strange cultivation method, which accounts for such a terrifying breakthrough in his cultivation realm, possibly compromising his lifespan, estimating around twelve hundred years.

But even so, because he was so young, he still had a long, long life’s journey ahead of him.

Therefore, Cangjian True Monarch himself would surely pass away before Qi Chuan.
