Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Do they really think he’s made of clay?

Isolating the Meng family through the Seven Nations Alliance this time is just the beginning. He doesn’t care if the other party acted unintentionally. What he knows is that the hatred of being obstructed is irreconcilable.

"Master, will the dried corpse we left behind be discovered by Nascent Soul cultivators?"

The Sword Servant hesitated a bit, but eventually voiced the question on his mind.

Lin Chang’an, waving his hand nonchalantly, said:

"Rest assured, this Yin Sha Corpse Puppet is the specialty of the Profound Yin Demon Sect. Moreover, to prevent exposure, all wounds on the corpse have been devoured by the Corpse Puppet, leaving absolutely no trace."

He was so cautious that he didn’t even leave the head behind.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, there are some strange secret techniques that can extract fragmented memories from a deceased person’s head.

"Let’s go. This time we’ll return to Five Dragons Island and lay low for a while, but this matter is only just beginning."

An unfortunate event occurred this time. Despite the Seven Nations Alliance choosing to let it go on the surface, they are not just wary of the Meng family but are keeping a close watch in secret.

It can be imagined that the coming time will be difficult for the Meng family.

...

On Bibo Island, inside a secret grand hall of the Meng family.

One soul lamp after another was placed, but the soul lamp representing the strongest cultivator of the Meng family had long extinguished, and even the lamp oil had solidified.

"Father! I won’t let you die unjustly like this!"

Inside the hall, Meng Xinghai knelt silently before the soul lamp, his eyes filled with endless hatred.

"Seven Nations Alliance! And Huang Tianxiao, so much for being the number one under Nascent Soul!"

Just then, a weary figure slowly walked out, none other than Madam Meng. However, after the death of her husband, she had suddenly aged significantly.

"Mother!"

When Madam Meng walked out and saw her son, a look of sorrow appeared on her face.

"This time, your father’s luck was bad. Retreating shouldn’t have been an issue. Who would have thought he’d encounter someone from the Profound Yin Demon Sect."

In her heart, she believed that no one from the Seven Nations Alliance could keep her husband. This time it was purely a matter of carelessness and bad luck.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, there are quite a few unlucky cultivators.

Many prodigies, because of bad luck, encountered certain events that gave rise to heart demons, eventually being trapped in the Core Formation Realm for life.

Some even suffered severe injuries or, unluckily, offended Nascent Soul powers.

Thus, both the Meng family and Madam Meng never suspected the Seven Nations Alliance.

After all, at the time, the situation was chaotic, and the wounds from several Yin Sha Corpse Puppets further confirmed the evidence.

"Huang Tianxiao!"

When the murderer of his father was mentioned, a fierce light flashed in Meng Xinghai’s eyes.

Others may not know, but how could he not know his own father’s strength!

At the peak of the Core Formation Late Stage, coupled with his whole body of magical treasures, especially the Black Blood Divine Needle, with one careless move, even same-realm cultivators could face setbacks.

No one in the Seven Nations Alliance has the ability to kill his father; only this person could!

Meng Xinghai secretly made up his mind to avenge his father and eradicate the Demon Sect upon advancing to the Nascent Soul stage after breaking through the Core Formation Late Stage.

How could Madam Meng not see the hatred in her son’s eyes? With a heavy expression, she said sternly:

"Do not act impulsively. Even if you break through the Core Formation Late Stage, you must not seek revenge. Although the title of number one under Nascent Soul has some exaggeration, there are rumors that this person once forcefully killed a Tier Three Thunder Jiao.

Your father’s skills did not end well in this person’s hands. Unless you can prove your path to Nascent Soul, do not provoke him!"

Madam Meng’s warning was filled with sorrow. Though life and death are unpredictable, she and her husband had weathered the storms for hundreds of years; she never expected it to end this way.

"Mother, rest assured, I will work hard on my cultivation, striving to break through to the Core Formation Late Stage as soon as possible, then seek a Nascent Soul opportunity."

Seeing Meng Xinghai nodding resolutely, Madam Meng couldn’t help but nod with relief.

This time, their Meng family suffered a great loss, losing a peak Core Formation Late Stage combat power.

And all those magical treasures were gone.

It’s unclear whether this is fortunate or unfortunate.

Now, the Seven Nations Alliance suspects that the Meng family is eyeing the spiritual ore, not for other reasons.

...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, two years went by.

As the time for the Secret Realm opening drew near, the Outer Sea of the Demon Beast Abyss became more tumultuous by the day.

Almost every month, major events occurred, with killings, looting, and clan exterminations happening frequently.

This led to the events on Bibo Island gradually being forgotten, also indicating that the old generation of Core Formation cultivators was beginning to retire.

Taking their place was the rising new generation of Core Formation cultivators.

As talents emerge in every generation, so too does the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

In recent years, the most prominent figure has undoubtedly been Huang Tianxiao, recognized as the number one under Nascent Soul.

He committed several major crimes in succession, prompting Lin Chang’an, cultivating at the Celestial Spring Peak on Five Dragons Island, to reveal a curious expression.

"These two maritime regions are so far apart, yet within just three days, two major crimes were committed. Even the escape technique of a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn’t suffice. Huang Tianxiao has indeed gained quite the reputation."

It’s clear that not only he, but many people used Huang Tianxiao’s name when committing wrongdoings.

"I wonder if it’s because the title of number one under Nascent Soul invites such resentment, or if it’s the Profound Yin Demon Sect that’s hated."

Looking at the information in hand, Lin Chang’an silently felt speechless.

His vendetta against Huang Tianxiao was purely personal. Others probably just envied the title.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, although there are many low-key Core Formation powerhouses who do not cause trouble, this doesn’t mean they accept other cultivators of the same rank stepping over them.
