Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

It quietly lifted its eyelids and took a glance at the tall, jade-like man.

Hmph...

At least you, this bad guy, have a conscience. It’s worth the trouble... worth the trouble I’ve taken not to bite you to death all this way!

Though there was still some bitterness in its heart,

after all, it did fail, and moreover became like this.

If it weren’t for relying on the girl’s physique, it wouldn’t know how long it would take to recover.

But with Chen Ye’s defense, the grievances in the little white fox’s heart dissipated quite a bit, and it even found Chen Ye’s usually somewhat annoying face to be a bit more pleasing now.

Chen Ye glanced at the aggrieved little fox, feeling more certain that it wasn’t True Man Ye.

This little fox seemed to have the personality of a little girl... no matter how you look at it, it didn’t resemble a legendary figure.

”Aside from True Man Dongshan, what is Gu Tangyin’s ranking on the Long Genesis Ranking?” Chen Ye continued to ask.

Wang Fu replied solemnly:

”Twenty-seventh. Master Instructor, don’t think it’s low. The Long Genesis Ranking only records thirty-six people, and the age must be under forty, covering the entire Ruins Country. Those who make it to the Long Genesis Ranking are all heroes with hopes of Core Formation! Moreover...”

Wang Fu paused, his expression grave.

”It is said that she practices the extremely domineering Netherfire Mystical Thunder Technique, and she once confronted and killed an Eighth Layer Foundation Establishment evil cultivator, her strength is unfathomable.”

”Twenty-seventh, huh...”

Chen Ye nodded slightly.

To rank within the top thirty in that monster-filled Ruins Country, indeed she has some arrogance.

Unfortunately, the Long Genesis Ranking only records the Ruins Country; otherwise, Chen Ye would like to see where Susu would rank.

”Alright, I understand.”

Chen Ye waved his hand.

”Guardian Wang just needs to keep an eye on the city’s movements, there’s no need to worry about the rest.”

”Yes! I shall take my leave!”

Seeing that Chen Ye had it all in mind, Wang Fu said no more, saluted, and quickly left.

...

Once the outsiders had left,

Chen Ye activated all the restrictions in the courtyard, becoming serious.

”Come in,” he said, leading his three disciples into the secret chamber.

”Master.”

Zhiwei, the most perceptive, served tea to Chen Ye while whispering,

”What that Taoist just said... seems vastly different from what we saw in Songyang Cave Heaven.”

”Indeed.”

Chen Ye lightly tapped the armrest with his fingers, his eyes flashing with sharp light,

”We saw with our own eyes that Ancestor Songyang had long since perished, leaving only a wisp of a residual soul hanging on, ultimately refined by me into Qingzhi.”

”But in the eyes of those Ruins Country cultivators, it seems Ancestor Songyang... is still alive? Moreover, they seem to think the cultivators sent by Huayue Mansion were injured by Ancestor Songyang?”

Qing Jun listened, confused.

Although she had also been to Songyang Cave Heaven, she was mostly in the Xu Family team at that time.

She muttered, ”But what’s that got to do with us? Huayue Mansion can do whatever it wants, we should finish our business and return to Baopu Peak!”

Zhiwei spoke in a serious tone:

”Qing Jun, it’s not that simple.”

”In the past, Luoxiao Grotto Heaven was Songyang’s legacy, and although each sect in Yan and Qi disputed over Luoxiao Grotto Heaven, they all maintained a tacit agreement not to let outsiders intervene.”

”But now, with Huayue Mansion from Ruins Country opening Luoxiao Grotto Heaven, sending Gu Tangyin back to Hunyuan City, and at this time True Man Ye is missing, although Refining God Sect claims the True Man is only missing, several disputes have already occurred within the sect...”

”In my view, Ruins Country intends to take this opportunity to meddle in Yan and Qi. If this is the case, even if we cultivate in isolation at Baopu Peak, we cannot remain untouched.”

Chen Ye gave Zhiwei an approving glance, then sneered,

”That Gu Tangyin, thinking she’s from Ruins Country, looks down on Yan Kingdom. But I see her as nothing more than a pawn. Her identity is special, being the daughter of the Lord of Hunyuan City, and Spirit Treasure Sect happens to be the weakest sect in Yan Kingdom... making her the best choice for a pawn.”

”Although Yan and Qi are remote, because it’s Songyang’s legacy, there are opportunities everywhere. Ruins Country is like oil boiling over a flame; though there are strong cultivators everywhere, it’s also a case of many wolves and little meat, so naturally, they covet Yan and Qi... In the past, even though Yan and Qi were weak, the Seven Disciples of Songyang established seven sects, each with Golden Core True Men, and some, like Refining God Sect, had as many as two, making them a strong sect even in Ruins Country. The combined force of the seven sects is not to be underestimated, especially since True Man Ye’s Golden Core Perfection means he could form a Nascent Soul at any moment... Additionally, there are complex forces within Ruins Country itself, which is why they couldn’t interfere with Yan and Qi.”

Unfortunately, that’s all in the past now.

In the recent decades, the Songyang Seven Sects have harbored grudges, especially the two major sects in Qi Kingdom.

As for the former leader, the Refining God Sect, they sought to revive Songyang, having previously maintained the order of the Songyang Seven Sects.

Yet, in the past few decades, they have sealed their mountain gates, rarely intervening in external affairs, focusing all their efforts on allowing True Man Ye to form a Nascent Soul.

In theory, this decision is correct.

Only with the emergence of a Nascent Soul True Monarch can the cultivation realm of Yan and Qi have a true pillar of support.

But True Man Ye failed in forming a Nascent Soul and has been missing for two years.

”Chirp chirp...”

The little white fox guiltily clutched its paws together, listening, it seemed like it was all True Man Ye’s fault?

If she had successfully formed a Nascent Soul, Yan and Qi wouldn’t have been in such chaos?

Oh well.

After all, it has nothing to do with her, she’s just an innocent little white fox, bullied by a bad man every day.
