Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

"We must not tolerate this any longer!"

"That True Master Profound Ice is utterly shameless!"

"The Sect kindly lent him Starlight Island for temporarily residing, how could he occupy it indefinitely and not return it?"

Cyan Lion True Master looked around, face filled with indignation.

"Now within the Sect, countless newly promoted True Masters have no suitable Daoist arena. Yet an outsider occupies a large Spirit Island of the Sect, what sense does this make?"

Sect Leader True Master Xuan Ji sat at the main seat, observing the excited Cyan Lion True Master, then glanced at the silent True Master Xuan Xiang sitting lower, internally sighing.

Both are young leader figures, but this Cyan Lion True Master is far inferior to True Master Xuan Xiang.

Last discussion, Direct Disciple Celestial Star True Master stood up abruptly, volunteered to challenge True Master Profound Ice, but was forcibly held back by him.

The excuse used at the time was True Master Profound Ice’s Dao partner, True Master Hanyue, a descendant of Purple Maple True Monarch, not to be acted against rashly.

After the meeting, he took Celestial Star True Master to Purple Maple Peak for an audience.

Purple Maple True Monarch did not show up.

After receiving True Master Xuan Ji’s Sound Transmission Talisman, a decree was transmitted.

Consisting of only two words.

"Not possible."

Celestial Star True Master was dissatisfied, sent another Sound Transmission Talisman, detailed his plea, expressing the intent to challenge.

The response was still two words.

"Not possible."

The True Monarch’s decree cannot be defied!

The two returned despondently.

True Master Xuan Ji kindly advised Celestial Star True Master, saying the True Monarch surely has profound intention, urging him to focus on cultivation and not fret over this matter.

Actually, True Master Xuan Ji carefully reviewed True Master Profound Ice’s past records in private.

Those records were astonishing.

Prior to sixty, he was merely at the Early Stage of Qi Cultivation, subsisting in Cyan Dragon Bay Market by selling Talismans, decidedly mediocre.

Just an ordinary loose cultivator.

After sixty, it was as if he was reborn.

Rumor had it awakened a potent bloodline, from then on his cultivation advanced rapidly.

Established Foundation at an elderly age, entered Cyan Cloud Sect.

Started as a Registered Disciple under True Master Gu Feng, climbed his way up to Direct Disciple.

Later, he transferred to True Master Cold Jade, firmly securing the top of the same generation in Cyan Cloud Sect, ultimately succeeded in forming a Golden Core.

Most unnerving is his record post-Golden Core formation: challenging Yan Country’s Zhuo Yuanyan, resisting Late Stage Golden Core True Master Wisdom Blade, gambling against Zheng Jinrui, battling Jile Fiend Supremacy...

Never a defeat.

These achievements made True Master Xuan Ji cautious.

He vaguely sensed that this True Master Profound Ice must have something to rely on.

Purple Maple True Monarch couldn’t possibly protect a descendant he’d never met so ardently.

Quite likely, if Celestial Star True Master went to challenge True Master Profound Ice, he would not have a chance of winning.

At this moment, Cyan Lion True Master’s voice grew increasingly loud within the hall.

"Celestial Star Junior Brother is our Profound Celestial Sect’s prodigy, bearing the Sect’s future, must not easily enter danger."

"Therefore, I am willing to, in my personal capacity, seek a suitable occasion, find a reason, and engage in a duel with True Master Profound Ice!"

He puffed out his chest, speaking passionately: "Though knowing victory is slim, even so, it could uncover the reality for Celestial Star Junior Brother, understanding his methods. What is the opinion of all fellow brothers?"

His words were eloquent.

Challenging in personal capacity, losing would be paving the way for the Sect’s great cause, though defeat still honorable.

If fortunate enough to win, it would be an unexpected delight, certainly gaining widespread fame, his status within the Sect would rise, closing in on Celestial Star True Master.

The discussion hall filled with over a hundred True Masters of varied expressions, whispering to each other, the buzzing of discussions started.

A young True Master spoke first: "Cyan Lion Senior Brother’s nobility is a model for us all!"

Many young cultivators echoed the sentiment.

"That’s right! Even if not able to defeat, to dare wield the sword is what shows the spirit of our Profound Celestial Sect!"

"That True Master Profound Ice hails from Cyan Cloud Sect, how formidable can he be? Cyan Lion Senior Brother, I support you!"

"In my opinion, if Cyan Lion Senior Brother prepares thoroughly, there’s a fifty percent chance of winning!"

These young True Masters voiced encouragement in succession, atmosphere warm.

Fortunately, they are ultimately Core Formation cultivators, still discerning, not daring to speak overly boastfully.

The most optimistic among them only estimated even odds.

Cyan Lion True Master showed a faint smile, brimming with confidence.

He raised his hand gently, suppressing the discussions, turning to Sect Leader True Master Xuan Ji, cupping his hands in inquiry: "Sect Leader Senior Brother, would this method of mine be worth a try?"

True Master Xuan Ji fell into silence.

Seemingly deep in thought.

At this moment, a loyal disciple hurriedly entered from outside the hall, directly approaching True Master Xuan Ji, whispering, presenting an Intelligence Jade Scroll with both hands.

"Master, there’s an urgent piece."

True Master Xuan Ji took the Jade Scroll, Divine Sense immersed.

Moments later, his usually composed expression subtly changed, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

The entire discussion hall suddenly quietened.

Everyone knew that unless it involved matters of critical importance to the Sect’s safety, the Sect Leader True Master’s loyal disciple would never rudely intrude upon such an important meeting.

A silence lingered for several breaths.

True Master Xuan Ji raised his eyes, scanning the crowd in the hall, finally resting on Celestial Star True Master.

"Celestial Star."

"Disciple present."

Celestial Star True Master stood.

"Recite the contents of this confidential document for all brothers to hear."

"Yes, Master."

Celestial Star True Master took the Intelligence Jade Scroll, Divine Sense probed inside.

. In just an instant, his face showed distinct bewilderment.

Soon, he forcibly suppressed it, returning to his usual calm.

He cleared his throat, began to recite aloud, his voice especially clear in the silent great hall.

"More than ten days ago, Cyan Cloud Sect’s True Master Profound Ice, accompanied by Nether Cultivator Li Ruyi, infiltrated Yan Country’s Danxia Sect."

"Li Ruyi, a disciple who defected from Danxia Sect three hundred years ago, succeeded in cultivating the Nether Dao, condensed a Soul Pill, intending to reclaim his flesh body, employing the Borrow Corpse to Reincarnate technique to re-live as a human."

"Incident occurred at Thousand Mountain Peak, True Master Profound Ice and Li Ruyi’s movements were exposed. True Master Profound Ice’s initial battle captured Danxia Sect’s True Masters Emerald Gold and Embracing Pine."
