Eternal Life as False Emperor

"Alright!" Lin Junrong agreed very readily.

Obviously, as one of the top major sects in the Canglan Realm, they kept many unknown techniques hidden.

Zheng Yi, although now an elder of the Star Sea, had joined not long ago and didn’t fully comprehend Star Sea’s true capabilities.

However, Zheng Yi always believed that these major sects surely had some backup plans.

Otherwise, no matter how strong, they would just be castles in the air.

"Try not to attract the enemy’s attention. Right now, they’re out in the open while we’re in the shadows, which is advantageous for us."

Lin Junrong nodded. Despite what Zheng Yi said, seeing that pill furnace emitting black smoke made her feel uncomfortable all over.

Especially after hearing Zheng Yi’s description, it seemed capable of taking the Void Cloud Whale along as well.

Zheng Yi noticed her concern and smilingly reassured her, "At this point, we have no other choice. As long as we can resolve the enemy, the crisis will naturally disappear."

For some reason, Lin Junrong had a strong urge to slap that face of his.

The Void Cloud Whale carried most of the force of the Star Sea, and any accident could spell disaster for the entire sect.

In such circumstances, was he really still able to talk so calmly?

Even though dissatisfied with Zheng Yi’s attitude, Lin Junrong had no better option than to listen to him.

Forming a spell with her fingers, she gently pressed her fingers to her brow.

Zheng Yi suddenly felt Lin Junrong’s spiritual qi surge rapidly, only to swiftly drop and conceal itself before he could react.

The transformation was so fast that only Zheng Yi, standing right beside her, could detect the swift and silent change.

Others standing even slightly farther away wouldn’t notice anything amiss.

Lin Junrong’s spiritual qi fluctuated in a certain rhythm, and Zheng Yi noted that while seemingly chaotic, there was a particular pattern to it.

And every once in a while, this pattern would repeat.

After carefully observing the fluctuations of Lin Junrong’s spiritual qi for a while, Zheng Yi could only feel amused and exasperated.

"This is practically... a radio signal, isn’t it?" Though unsure of the exact mechanics, Zheng Yi couldn’t interpret the information these signals conveyed.

But those long and short spiritual qi fluctuations couldn’t remind him of anything other than radio signals.

Who knew, the Divinity Transformation Stage elder of Star Sea beside him, was a human-shaped signal transmitter.

After over half an hour, Lin Junrong finally completed a set of similar rhythm signals and told Zheng Yi, "They should have received our message and will send reinforcement soon."

Zheng Yi, with interest, pointed to the cultivators battling in the sky, "Not only can you send them messages, but can they respond to you as well?"

Lin Junrong smiled wryly and shook her head, "I can only convey our situation simply to those on the Void Cloud Whale."

"But they have no way to send any messages back to us."

"However, Elder Zheng, rest assured. Although unable to share detailed information, those on the Void Cloud Whale have indeed received our message and are preparing to coordinate with us."

Zheng Yi chuckled and nodded, "In that case, I’ll await Elder Lin’s good news."

Haha, the more you spoke, the more you resembled a telegraph machine.

Unfortunately, Lin Junrong, this human-shaped telegraph machine, could only send messages and couldn’t receive signals from the other side.

They waited for over two hours, as the golden crow set in the west and the jade rabbit rose in the east.

Though darkness surrounded them, it wasn’t particularly impactful for the cultivators.

The battle raging around the Void Cloud Whale showed no sign of ceasing.

In fact, as night fell, the explosions from clashing magic appeared as radiant as fireworks.

However, amidst these flowers of destruction in the sky lay a chilling killing intent.

Who knows how many perished in this mesmerizing display.

Qiu Ming was the first to lose patience, "Senior, are our reinforcements not here yet? If we wait any longer, what if the enemy notices?"

Jiang He hurriedly gestured at him to stop asking questions, "Right now, the most important thing is to stay undiscovered by the enemy. Timing, in fact, isn’t the most crucial aspect."

"As long as the enemy’s target doesn’t appear, even if they suspect something, they won’t act rashly."

Qiu Ming paced around anxiously, "I understand what you mean, but it just feels like the reinforcements are too slow."

A teasing voice suddenly rang out, "I apologize for arriving so late, young friend."

Though the newcomer concealed their aura, the inherent authority of a Divinity Transformation Stage expert still made hearts race.

Qiu Ming’s face changed drastically as he hurriedly bowed in respect, "I was impetuous; please forgive me, Senior."

"Hehe, what an amusing young fellow. Don’t worry, I have no interest in quarreling with juniors."

Though the newcomer was female, clad in armor and wielding a Heaven-piercing Halberd, she was every bit a military general in appearance.

The other wore a palace dress, her hair styled high, seeming gentle and delicate, entirely unremarkable, yet she was among the top in power among all Star Sea elders.
