Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 561: Reclusive Geniuses

Profound Ice Divine Dragon roared.

The seawater below surged, frantically rushing towards its dragon form.

"Wisdom Blade, your full-strength attack is just like this!"

Profound Ice Divine Dragon absorbed the water spiritual power, revitalized.

On the other side.

The True Masters of Tyrant Blade Sect each showed concern.

A True Master asked, "Senior Brother Ding Xian, Senior Brother Wisdom Blade took the Spirit Suppressing Pill and forced an attack. After this battle, his vitality will be greatly damaged. Will it harm the foundation of his Golden Core?"

True Master Ding Xian sighed deeply.

"Very likely. If this battle ends quickly, it shouldn’t be an issue. However..."

He glanced at the Profound Ice Divine Dragon.

"Profound Ice possesses an Exotic Treasure; the ice lotus divine power has strong defense. Transforming into a Flood Dragon gives him infinite strength. Junior Brother Wisdom Blade is in trouble this time!"

Just as he finished speaking.

Profound Ice Divine Dragon again swung a golden shadow, wielding a staff to smash.

True Master Wisdom Blade’s eyes were bloodshot as he manipulated the golden blade, meeting the attack.

Another loud crash.

Profound Ice Divine Dragon was repelled again.

However, the recoil distance was noticeably shorter than before.

Profound Ice Divine Dragon let out a long roar, absorbed water spiritual power, and charged again.

Simple, straightforward.

Shen Xuan’s intention was to battle True Master Wisdom Blade head-on.

In any case, his lifespan was long, and losing a few years didn’t affect his cultivation.

Whereas True Master Wisdom Blade’s injuries would increasingly erupt over time.

Thus, the two exchanged blows back and forth, Exotic Gold-Cold Iron Staff and golden blade clashing continuously.

Before long, True Master Wisdom Blade couldn’t hold on.

Continuing to fight, it wasn’t just a matter of injuries recurring.

Even the Golden Core was shaken fundamentally.

He can’t afford to lose in front of so many True Masters of Tyrant Blade Sect and Cyan Cloud Sect.

He had a method to stimulate potential and return to peak condition.

But the consequences would be more severe.

It would absolutely shake the Golden Core.

After several more fierce clashes, seeing the Profound Ice Divine Dragon growing stronger and full of battle spirit.

He couldn’t help but sigh softly.

Using the recoil from a fierce clash, he turned and fled toward the Tyrant Blade Sect fleet.

Profound Ice Divine Dragon did not pursue.

"Wisdom Blade, want to keep fighting? If not, admit defeat!"

True Master Wisdom Blade’s face turned pale, gasping for breath: "I haven’t recovered from my injuries. If you have the ability, wait until I’m healed, and we’ll fight again!"

Spirit Sword True Master laughed heartily, flying over to Shen Xuan alongside True Master Ling Xiao and True Master Cold Jade.

"Victory is victory, defeat is defeat. Is all of Tyrant Blade Sect so unwilling to lose?"

He looked at True Master Ding Xian.

"What do you say, Ding Xian Daoist Friend?"

True Master Ding Xian glanced at Profound Ice Divine Dragon, exuding a fierce Divine Dragon aura, formidable and majestic.

Sighing inwardly.

"This magical combat was a loss for Junior Brother Wisdom Blade."

At his words, the Tyrant Blade Sect group fell silent.

Even True Master Wisdom Blade did not speak to refute.

"Regarding Zhao Mingde, let’s call it quits. Junior Brother Wisdom Blade, never set foot in Song Country again. But..."

True Master Ding Xian fixed his gaze on Spirit Sword True Master.

"If you don’t return True Master Ming Yi, the sect’s fleet will still attack Starlight Island!"

Profound Ice Divine Dragon flickered.

Shen Xuan returned to human form.

"Ming Yi Daoist Friend? I’ll return him to you!"

Not out of fear.

It’s simply unnecessary.

Shen Xuan won the magical combat against True Master Wisdom Blade.

Both Cyan Cloud Sect and Shen Xuan personally, have gained immensely.

No need to quibble over such a minor issue with Tyrant Blade Sect.

Before long.

Zhuang Xueqin brought True Master Ming Yi.

Shen Xuan waved his hand, dispelling the icy spiritual power encasing him.

He hadn’t mistreated True Master Ming Yi.

Upon returning, True Master Ming Yi would surely need some recuperation.

Yet it posed no serious harm, not affecting his future cultivation.

True Master Ding Xian repeatedly assessed Shen Xuan.

Ultimately, he led the Tyrant Blade Sect fleet away from the airspace of Starlight Island.

A grand battle had finally come to an end.

...

On Starlight Island.

"Shen Lang, how was it?"

Returning to Cold Ice Cave, Qin Yuehan asked with concern.

"No problem."

Shen Xuan waved his hand, smiling.

"It was Golden Core Late Stage! I’ve heard, body refining techniques press the flesh body to the limit, very prone to backlash."

"I’m different. Rest assured, I’m the foremost body refining cultivator in Song Country!"

Shen Xuan replied, smiling radiantly.

But his heart was bleeding.

He glanced at the Mysterious Jade Talisman.

[Lifespan: 174/1103]

The recent battle had cost him three years of lifespan!

Seeing Shen Xuan’s composed face, Qin Yuehan relaxed.

"Shen Lang, you’re amazing! True Master Wisdom Blade, renowned for so long, rivaled Senior Brother Spirit Sword, yet defeated by you!"

"He was injured, couldn’t even use half his strength!"

"Shen Lang is still impressive! Even half strength is still Golden Core Late Stage!"

Stars shone in Qin Yuehan’s eyes, full of admiration.

Shen Xuan smiled, not denying.

Women, naturally admire strength.

Otherwise, why would Qin Yuehan be so captivated by him?

Wasn’t it that he had conquered her both mentally and physically?

Qin Yuehan asked, "Where are Senior Brother Spirit Sword and the others?"

"Going back. There are still many matters in the Sect."

Shen Xuan suddenly showed a mischievous smile.

"Yuehan, wait, let’s go to the hot springs together."

"Ah!"

"I’ve worked so hard, won’t you reward me properly?"

Qin Yuehan’s cheeks blushed with a rosy hue.

"Shen Lang..."

Her voice was somewhat coy.

Shen Xuan’s face darkened: "Hurry up! Later, I’ll show you my true prowess!"

Qin Yuehan, with a shy face, turned and quickly left.

The direction was surprisingly towards the hot spring in the Cold Ice Cave.

Shen Xuan shook his head, but secretly thought to himself.

Later, what technique should I use to deal with this delicate Commandery Princess?

At this time, cheers erupted on Starlight Island.

Ding Yixuan, Tie Wenda, Lin Zhongyue, and Chu Duanlang witnessed it all.

Island Master Shen Xuan defeated the True Master Hui Ming of the Ba Dao Sect.

The four were secretly relieved and held Shen Xuan in greater esteem.

The fleet of the Ba Dao Sect quietly left.

Song Country’s Cyan Cloud Sect’s newly advanced Golden Core Profound Ice True Master defeated Yan Country’s veteran Golden Core Wisdom Blade True Master in magical combat!

This news quickly spread throughout Song Country.

The cultivators of the six sects of Song Country were greatly encouraged.

The victory of Profound Ice True Master broke the myth that Yan Country’s sect cultivators of the same rank were invincible.

Profound Celestial Sect, Xuan Ji Peak, Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

Sect Leader True Master Xuan Ji sat quietly, his breath restrained, like an ordinary old Daoist.

A young Daoist in a blue robe, full of spirit, walked in gracefully.

"Celestial Star wishes to descend the mountain to join the battle, seeking Master’s approval!"

The young Daoist bowed respectfully as he spoke.

"Why do you have such a thought?"

True Master Xuan Ji opened his eyes and asked, "Is it influenced by that Profound Ice True Master?"

"My Profound Celestial Sect is the leader among Song Country’s sects. Now, Yan Country’s sects have invaded Song Country, penetrating deep into its heart. Cyan Cloud Sect’s Profound Ice True Master defeated Ba Dao Sect’s Wisdom Blade True Master, gaining fame across the countries."

Celestial Star True Master’s eyes flickered with cold light.

"As the direct disciple of Master, if I don’t join the battle and establish merits, how can I command respect in the future!"

True Master Xuan Ji sighed softly.

"The Wisdom Blade True Master was injured by Spirit Sword True Master. His injuries were not healed when he hastily battled Profound Ice True Master, setting the battlefield over the East Sea, violating a major military taboo."

"The victory of Profound Ice True Master has elements of opportunism, not entirely based on strength."

Celestial Star True Master smiled and said, "What does it matter?"

"A victory is a victory, and a defeat is a defeat. The world only knows that Cyan Cloud Sect’s Profound Ice True Master defeated Ba Dao Sect’s Wisdom Blade True Master."

True Master Xuan Ji slowly nodded.

"Indeed, a victory is a victory, and a defeat is a defeat. Celestial Star, you have extraordinary talent and remarkable aptitude. Both Supreme Elders favor you. You have the greatest hope for the position of Sect Leader of Profound Celestial Sect."

"This war between the sects of Yan and Song is indeed an opportunity for you. You wish to establish merits and gain the respect of your fellow disciples, which I understand."

"However, do not underestimate the heroes of the world. The sect cultivators of Yan Country are indeed slightly stronger than those of Song Country of the same rank; this is not false."

True Master Xuan Ji sighed, taking out a spirit talisman.

"This is the Wind Escape Talisman, a Tier Three Top Grade spirit talisman refined by the Supreme Elder. At a critical moment, it can save your life!"

"Celestial Star thanks Master!"

Celestial Star True Master received the Wind Escape Talisman, bowed, and turned to leave.

Several days later.

On the front line of Profound Celestial Sect’s battlefield.

Celestial Star True Master appeared before the two armies.

Challenged the veteran True Master of Yan Country.

With a Golden Core Early Stage cultivation,

continuously defeated several True Masters of True Intent Sect.

Among them was even the Golden Core Middle Stage True Master Zhi Zhen.

For a time, the name of Celestial Star True Master spread through the countries of Song and Yan.

The same thing happened in Golden Sun Sect and Divine Sword Sect.

In Golden Sun Sect, an Early Stage Golden Core Hao Yang True Master, using the Hao Yang True Flame Divine Power, continuously defeated several True Masters from the Extreme Sword Gate, setting massive fires that repelled the army of Extreme Sword Gate cultivators.

In Divine Sword Sect, an Early Stage Golden Core Immortal Meng Die, facing True Masters from the Hundred Arts Sect, displayed Dream Illusion Sword Intent, ethereal and fleeting, like light and electricity, like a dream or illusion, confusing people’s minds and faintly touching the threshold of One Sword Transforming Ten Thousand Methods.

Immortal Meng Die also continuously defeated several True Masters from the Hundred Arts Sect, drawing with a veteran Golden Core Middle Stage True Master.

Beast Emperor Pavilion and Thousand Mechanism Sect also sent out their hidden geniuses to launch a counterattack against the Yan Country sect cultivator army.

This also meant that Song Country’s six sects were truly exerting effort.

Even the hidden sect prodigies were dispatched to the battle.

The war situation between Yan and Song countries began to change.

Profound Celestial Sect’s True Master Xuan Ji personally went to Liang Country to meet with the Sect Leaders of the six sects of Liang Country.

After months of secret negotiations.

The six sects of Liang Country declared an alliance, announcing an alliance with Song Country’s sects, supporting Song Country’s sects to regain their original territories.

At the same time, the six sects of Liang Country unanimously condemned Yan Country’s sects for invading Song Country.

Under the pressure of the Liang Country and Song Country sect alliance, Yan Country’s sects returned to the negotiation table.

This time, Yan Country’s sects’ attitude was noticeably softened.

The conditions proposed by both sides had certain concessions.

The war between Yan and Song countries had lasted for over thirty years, finally seeing the dawn of a ceasefire.

Although there was not yet a true ceasefire.

Both countries’ sects tacitly agreed not to launch large-scale wars again.

For Yan Country’s sects, the purpose of the war was to seize some Spirit Vein sites.

Now, having annexed Medicine God Valley and occupying large areas of Song Country territory.

The strategic objectives had long been achieved.

And Song Country’s sects, having no retreat, launched a full counterattack.

This also made the sects of Yan Country quite troubled.

After all, they did not want to push Song Country’s sects into a desperate situation.

The appearance of the hidden prodigies of Song Country’s sects on the front line battlefield meant that Song Country’s sects were exerting their final potential.

Liang Country sects’ statement further added weight to the war between Yan and Song countries.

It was clear to those with insight that the war between Yan and Song countries was coming to an end.

What remained was nothing but the bargaining of the sects of both countries over land divisions and interest negotiations.

On the negotiation table, the representatives of both countries’ sects argued sharply, unwilling to give in, arguing fiercely.

The representative of Liang Country’s sects mediated between both sides.

Seeing the ceasefire agreement was almost settled and about to be signed.

At this moment, a bombshell news came.

In Yan Country, simultaneously appeared over a dozen Demon Realm conduits, with various demon beasts swarming out.

The five sects of Yan Country called for aid!
