Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1486 - 653: Gathering Storms (Part 2)

The Blood Cloud Sect’s body techniques, though powerful, have some inherent shortcomings when facing our Ghost Servant Sect’s Ghost Servant Technique,

The Totem Sorcery of the Ancestral Soul Sect, although it can greatly enhance the strength of the surrounding Human Race, cannot gain any advantage in the face of the Western Rakshasa’s Poisonous Technique!

Which sect is he from, and how did he manage to repel the combined offensive of the Seven Great Immortal Sects?

Even if the two ancient sect masters of the Blood Cloud Sect and the Ancestral Soul Sect join forces, they would be unable to withstand the pressure brought by the Seven Great Immortal Sects!"

The East Mountain Grand Elder, seeing the sect master angry, showed a hint of fear on his face and opened his mouth hesitantly: "Currently, about the background of that Profound Void Immortal Venerable from Great Yan Kingdom, my dispatched Ghost team is still investigating, and I believe we’ll have results soon!"

The Ghost Servant Sect’s Sect Master, Ling Yingzi, with a somewhat cold expression, suddenly flicked her robe sleeve and said coldly:

"I have now stepped into the Tier Four Perfect Immortal Venerable Realm, and without obtaining the Five Elements Spiritual Object, it’s impossible to further advance my realm. During this time, there’s no need for me to retreat!

Since such turmoil has occurred in the Great Yan Kingdom, I, Ling Yingzi, should call upon the sect masters of the other Six Immortal Sects and visit the places of the Blood Cloud Sect and Ancestral Soul Sect in the Great Yan Kingdom to see whether the so-called Profound Void Immortal Venerable, who ruined the plans of the Seven Great Immortal Sects, is from the Blood Cloud Sect or the Ancestral Soul Sect!

Additionally, speed up the refining of these two thousand Ghost Servants. This time, if the Blood Cloud Sect and Ancestral Soul Sect dare not hand over some Five Elements Spiritual Objects, I will lead the experts from the other Six Immortal Sects, along with this army of over five thousand Ghost Servants, and raze the secret places of the Blood Cloud Sect and Ancestral Soul Sect to the ground!"

After speaking, she walked barefoot towards the entrance of the grand hall.

The East Mountain Grand Elder repeatedly kowtowed, "I will surely speed up the refining process and contribute to the Sect Master’s future achievement of the Tier Five Immortal Venerable Realm!"

....

Ten days later,

Qingyuan City, Profound Immortal Tavern.

This Profound Immortal Tavern was originally called He Wei Residence Tavern, where Deputy Captain Wei Hong hosted a birthday banquet and where Lin Xuankong defeated Demon He Wu back in the day!

Since the Ninth Young Master Huang from the Capital City settled in Qingyuan City, he purchased this tavern along with all the stores on this street, renaming He Wei Residence Tavern to Profound Immortal Tavern, and made it more upscale and luxurious than before!

It’s said that the Ninth Young Master Huang renamed this tavern to Profound Immortal Tavern in gratitude for the deeds of the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable in helping those in need, and commissioned a famous painter from the Capital City to vividly paint twelve scenes of the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable punishing Demon He Wu in the Profound Immortal Tavern, which are now hung on the third floor! Since the Ninth Young Master Huang renovated the entire Profound Immortal Tavern, the second and third floors have never been open to the public. Only some real big shots from the Capital or other large cities visiting Qingyuan City are qualified to visit the third floor of the Profound Immortal Tavern, while others, even the county magistrate or deputy magistrate of Qingyuan City, and those in the training battalions, have no right to access the second and third floors!

Furthermore, today’s Qingyuan City is vastly different from before. While the old Qingyuan City was indeed the most prosperous among the nearby dozen counties, it still couldn’t be considered a major city within Jee Province! However, ever since countless citizens across the Great Yan Kingdom learned that the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable first appeared in Qingyuan City, and the lavish spending of the Ninth Young Master Huang from the Capital City, along with the arrival of many aristocrats from the Huang Family, Qingyuan City has almost become the most prosperous city in Jee Province, second only to the provincial capital!

Both the top millionaires and the top aristocrats from the Great Yan Kingdom are drawn here, naturally driving the development of Qingyuan City, like blazing oil and flourishing flowers!

These days, it’s often said that on the street outside the Profound Immortal Tavern, if you throw a brick, it might hit a top aristocrat who can influence the entire Great Yan Kingdom’s affairs, or it might hit a top millionaire capable of easily buying half a city!

At this moment, outside the Profound Immortal Tavern, a white car drove by.

If Lin Xuankong were here, he would surely recognize this white car as the private vehicle of the Miao Family’s Third Miss, Miao Wan’er.

The white car moved through the street and stopped in front of a tea house opposite the Profound Immortal Tavern. Then, the car door opened, and the smartly-dressed Miao Wan’er stepped out and personally opened another car door, helping an elderly man wearing sunglasses and a hat out of the car, walking towards the tea house inside.

In the past, when the daughter of the Qingyuan City Patrol Bureau Chief came for tea, it would surely attract the attention of countless pedestrians on this street. But now Qingyuan City has changed so much that the identity of the Patrol Bureau Chief’s daughter no longer draws any special attention. Even the tea house’s attendants and tea masters opposite the Profound Immortal Tavern seemed not overly enthusiastic, merely bowing respectfully!

This is largely because the tea house attendant didn’t know who the old man being assisted by the Patrol Bureau Chief’s daughter, Miao Wan’er, was. Otherwise, not only the attendants of this tea house but also the owner of the Profound Immortal Tavern opposite and the owner of this Cyan Bamboo Tea House, the Ninth Young Master Huang, would personally come over to welcome him! After all, although the Great Yan Kingdom has many aristocrats and wealthy families, few can compare in status, power, and wealth to the Patriarch of the millennium-old Sima Clan, the head of the Four Great Families!

Inside a window-side private room on the second floor of the tea house, Miao Wan’er respectfully helped Sima Dongming — Li Changming sit down, frowned, and looked towards the west side of the Profound Immortal Tavern opposite, speaking in a low voice:

"Master, Senior Sister Huang has already gone to discuss recent events in Qingyuan City with the Ninth Young Master Huang! But in this hurry, the military units that can be transferred from other parts of Jee Province may not be many, perhaps only twenty or more defense battalions numbering fifty to sixty thousand men!"

Sima Dongming — Li Changming furrowed his brows, gazing through the window towards the Profound Saint Residence on the west side of the Profound Immortal Tavern, speaking in a deep voice:

"No matter how many can be transferred, as they will only play a supporting role! The real strength in handling the current situation is not these troops! Those five to six ten thousand men will just play an auxiliary role! However, you now have some progress and foundation in the Blood Spirit Technique. Once chaos erupts in Qingyuan City, your role may be greater than thousands of troops!

But in this situation, the real stabilizing force is neither those troops nor us, but those true strong individuals standing at the pinnacle of this world!"

Miao Wan’er nodded and fell silent, her gaze following Li Changming’s towards the direction of the Profound Saint Residence.

While remaining silent, her heart was surging with intense waves.

In recent days, following Li Changming’s guidance, Miao Wan’er’s worldview and outlook on life have been overwhelmingly shocked, previously yearning for the growth of her small Miao Family. Like millions in the Great Yan Kingdom, she now knows there really is an ’Immortal Venerable’ in the world, and these powerful Immortal Venerables’ personal prowess rivals that of a division... She’s also keenly aware that, for thousands of years, it isn’t those emperors or presidents truly ruling the Great Yan Kingdom, nor the great families behind them, but the Immortal Venerables controlling those families. Compared to these Immortal Venerables, what are the Huang Family, Ma Family, or Feng Family!
