Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

Some sharp-eyed demon cultivators noticed the arrival from the sky of the three from Lingyin Sect, Zhiwei and her companions.

The three young girls were all exceedingly beautiful, each with their own charm.

In this desperate situation, it further provoked the violent nature of these demon cultivators, who rushed up with grins:

”Hmm? Which sect brought these little girls here...”

”Those who block our way, die.”

Zhiwei’s eyes were cold as she formed a sword technique seal, and the Gourd Sword let out a clear and long cry.

”Swish—!”

A crescent moon-like azure Water Sword swept out, its sword qi like frost, cutting those charging demon cultivators in half at the waist!

”Don’t waste spiritual power on these people, keep moving downward!”

Zhiwei sheathed her sword, glanced at the remaining demon cultivators who were scared out of their wits, and led her junior sister further inward.

Passing through thick clouds, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and dense dark red miasma came overwhelming.

”Senior Sister... what an awful smell, that stench is everywhere!”

Qing Jun stood within the sword light barrier, suddenly wrinkling her little nose.

”Hmm, this is likely the lair of the Abominations, right? There might be Golden Core Abominations...”

Jin’er whispered a reminder.

Below was the 2nd Layer of Broken World, indeed the lair of the Abominations!

...

”What? Sealing off the Celestial Abyss?”

Bai Li’s brows furrowed deeply.

After some explanation,

Chen Ye relayed tidbits of the intelligence he had gathered today on the perimeter of the Celestial Abyss.

His face was full of righteous vigor: ”So you see, Susu misunderstood, I wasn’t sneaking around, I was just out gathering information. Brother Bai, the perimeter of the Celestial Abyss has now been completely sealed off by Emotion Crossing Sect, it seems there is some major upheaval.”

”Emotion Crossing Sect has become more rampant recently. If this is true, then Chouyun Pass can’t be stayed at much longer.”

Bai Li’s expression was heavy.

He had earlier feigned a maneuver, luring away several demon cultivators of Emotion Crossing Sect.

Unexpectedly, now the demon cultivators at Chouyun Pass had turned out in full force, sealing off the Celestial Abyss.

While the honest Bai Li was deep in thought.

Chen Ye winked at Little Susu, intending to tease this girl.

Unexpectedly, this girl proved to be fierce, glaring back fiercely.

Chen Ye smiled silently, indeed this girl was aggressive from a young age.

He coughed and continued:

”Brother Bai, what do you mean by this? The Emotion Crossing Sect has sealed off the Celestial Abyss, what does that have to do with Chouyun Pass?”

”This...” Bai Li hesitated.

But his little cotton jacket couldn’t hold back from tattling:

”Of course that’s because my father is going to the Celestial Abyss as well! Since the Celestial Abyss at Chouyun Pass is sealed, he’ll surely enter the Celestial Abyss from somewhere else, won’t he?”

”Susu!”

Bai Li’s face changed, he was a true inheritor of Lingyin Sect, infiltrating the heartland of Qi Kingdom was a top secret, entering the Celestial Abyss was a perilous mission, a nine lives risk.

The secret hadn’t even warmed when it was spilled by his own daughter to a recently acquainted memory-lost loose cultivator.

Chen Ye’s expression also changed slightly.

This Little Susu really didn’t regard him as an outsider, huh?

The key issue is, knowing this, the father-in-law wouldn’t want to kill him to silence him, right?

Fortunately,

things weren’t as severe as Chen Ye thought, after all Bai Li believed Chen Ye didn’t know his true identity.

Bai Li sighed deeply:

”Brother Chen, I’m embarrassed. Since Susu has revealed everything, I won’t hide it from you. I infiltrated Chouyun Pass indeed to enter the Celestial Abyss.”

”The Celestial Abyss... after all, it’s a battlefield from a thousand years ago, there’s countless treasures within, I’ve heard of the Celestial Abyss for a long time, hence I want to give it a try.”

His explanation was flawless.

At Chouyun Pass, there are many loose cultivators seeking treasures at the Celestial Abyss’s perimeter.

But Chen Ye knew Bai Li’s background, he is a Bai Family prodigy, not lacking in resources, unlikely to come such a long way to seek treasures in the territory of Emotion Crossing.

”Could it be... Bai Li’s purpose for coming to the Celestial Abyss is the reason for his future downfall?”

Chen Ye pondered silently.

He remembered, back then, it was the Second Elder who took Bai Li and several true inheritors from Lingyin Sect deep into Qi Kingdom, but unfortunately they were ambushed, and ultimately only the Second Elder returned alive.

But now he only saw Bai Li, and hadn’t seen the Second Elder or the other true inheritors...

Moreover, if he really wanted to carry out some dangerous task, why would he bring Bai Susu along?

Chen Ye’s mind gradually became clear.

Perhaps,

Bai Li and the others indeed have an important mission in the Qi Kingdom, but they are currently in the early investigation stage, with low risk. Therefore, Bai Li would bring his daughter along.

With this thought, he felt reassured and followed Bai Li’s topic by saying:

”Since Brother Bai is seeking treasure, the current Celestial Abyss is really not the place to go. The Emotion Crossing Sect is serious this time; the perimeter blockage is airtight, not even a fly can get through. If you force your way in with Susu, it’s really too dangerous.”

Bai Li gave a bitter smile and sighed:

”Once you draw the bow, the arrow cannot be turned back. I came all the way to the Qi Kingdom, I must explore the Celestial Abyss, otherwise, it would be a wasted trip.”

Chen Ye secretly thought it was true.

In this historical projection, Bai Li’s journey to Celestial Abyss is an inevitable path. Since he couldn’t stop him from taking risks, he must accompany him.

Moreover,

According to what Qin Jiaming said,

to interfere with past causations, you must seize the moment of the Celestial Abyss explosion; only then can you barely change some minor causes and effects.

Just for Susu alone,

he had to attempt and see if he could manage to save his future father-in-law—besides, once Bai Li becomes the Golden Core True Man, if he stays alive, he could become Chen Ye’s strongest backing.

”Brother Bai, if you’re determined to go, perhaps I can be of some help, I can get you into the Celestial Abyss through Chouyun Pass.”

Chen Ye suddenly lowered his voice, a mysterious expression appearing on his face.

Bai Li was taken aback: ”Brother Chen, what do you mean?”

Chen Ye lied without any sign of embarrassment:

”Today, while gathering intelligence at the Celestial Abyss, I discovered that although the Emotion Crossing Sect’s blockade is tight, there is a place on the outskirts called Broken Soul Gorge where the guard is lax. They assume it doesn’t need watching because of a powerful evil offspring there. However, the other day, I was swept into the Broken Soul Gorge, and the evil offspring there had long disappeared... perhaps we can enter Celestial Abyss through Broken Soul Gorge.”

What he said was mostly true, partly false.

Indeed, there were no cultivators keeping watch there, but it was the necessary path for Tuoba You’s people to enter the Celestial Abyss.

However, since he was collaborating with Tuoba You, who had given him quite a few access rights, he could indeed stealthily bring Bai Li into Celestial Abyss.

This would equate to Chester Ning acquiring a top-level bodyguard.

If he encountered the Fake Pill evil offspring again, Chen Ye wouldn’t even need to fight a bloody battle.

”Broken Soul Gorge?”

Bai Li’s expression shifted slightly, apparently having heard of this dangerous place.

If he remembered correctly, there used to be a Golden Core evil offspring there in previous years, but it hadn’t been seen for a while...

He stared at Chen Ye and said in a deep voice:

”Brother Chen, this information is invaluable. If it’s as you say, that would indeed be an excellent point of infiltration. But... just draw me the route, I absolutely won’t bring you along into danger.”

He paused, casting a glance at Little Susu beside him, and sighed,

”As for Susu, I will personally take her into the Celestial Abyss. I can barely protect her alone.”

In truth, Bai Li didn’t want to enter Celestial Abyss with others.

As long as it was gathering intelligence within Celestial Abyss, Bai Li had absolute confidence that he could protect his daughter.

Before Chen Ye could respond, Little Susu protested.

She clung to Chen Ye’s arm, angrily shouting at Bai Li:

”Dad, you’re so silly! Just from the name, Broken Soul Gorge sounds hard to find. What if you get lost and caught by bad guys? Since Big Brother knows the way, let him take us!”

”...”

Bai Li’s old face turned solemn.

This little coat with holes, she seemed to be caring for her biological father, but why did it sound more like she couldn’t bear to part with Chen Ye?

Chen Ye couldn’t resist but reached out to stroke Little Susu’s head, sincerely saying to Bai Li:

”Brother Bai, Susu is right. The terrain of Broken Soul Gorge is complex; without me to guide you, you might easily stumble upon hidden sentries. Besides, I am empty-headed except for feeling a connection with you two. I have nowhere else to go, so why not accompany you two, so we can look out for each other?”

Seeing his daughter’s stubborn face,

Bai Li was helpless,

Never mind, Susu has the Tongming Heart Acupoint Body; bring Chen Ye along if that’s the case, it should be fine.

He nodded and said:

”Brother Chen, your noble intentions are remembered by Bai. In that case, let’s take a trip to that Broken Soul Gorge. But you must promise me, the moment we notice anything amiss, you take Susu and retreat immediately, absolutely no heroics!”

”Agreed.” Chen Ye smiled and nodded.

Done.

The connection on Bai Li’s side was made, and the groundwork with Tuoba You was laid.

Only one final step remained.

”As for Qin Jiaming, she seems to have disappeared without a trace.”

”Never mind, that woman is mysterious and unfathomable. The less provoked, the better...”
