Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1490 - 655: Big Trouble (Part 2)

Hearing the old man’s voice outside the door, Sect Leader Liang of the Blood Cloud Sect’s expression shifted; his figure blurred into a shadow and flashed to the doorway. After pulling the door open, this Sect Leader of the Blood Cloud Sect cupped his hands slightly, raised his brows, and said, "Sect Leader Zhao, please come in. I thought your Ancestral Soul Sect wasn’t planning to join in the fun this time!"

The man standing at the door, though his face was old, had a ruddy complexion, and every strand of his silver hair was neatly arranged. He wore a long robe embroidered with the character "Soul." He stepped into the room, gave a slight nod to the many Elders of the Blood Cloud Sect present, and then said:

"That famed Profound Void Immortal Venerable, whose Immortal Techniques are so miraculous, resolved the crisis of the Great Yan Kingdom by his own strength alone, and even spared my Ancestral Soul Sect’s many Immortal Venerables from possible casualties. With such a miraculous battle record, such a tremendous favor, how could I, Zhao Tianyue, not personally come to Qingyuan City to thank that Profound Void Immortal Venerable!

It’s just that after I brought several Elders to Qingyuan City, before we could see that Profound Void Immortal Venerable with his wondrous Immortal Techniques appear, we instead encountered the Ghost Servant Sect’s mad actions, so I made a special trip over here!"

The numerous Elders of the Blood Cloud Sect clearly held this Sect Leader Zhao Tianyue of the Ancestral Soul Sect in great respect; they all bowed to this Sect Leader of the Ancestral Soul Sect. Sect Leader Liang of the Blood Cloud Sect, however, frowned and said, "Since Brother Zhao has also brought people over, then let’s make a trip to Chaokou Mountain together, to see what tricks that Sect Master Ling Yingzi of the Ghost Servant Sect is trying to play, and who it is that gave her such great courage. What does Brother Zhao think?"

The white-haired Zhao Tianyue nodded slightly. "Good, then you and I will go together. At the last Nine Sects Grand Assembly, when I crossed hands with that Sect Master Ling Yingzi of the Ghost Servant Sect, I missed a move and was defeated by her Ghost Servant Technique. These years I’ve been in seclusion, cultivating bitterly, and finally broke through my Realm to the Late-Tier Four Immortal Venerable. My Ancestor Soul Technique has also made some progress. I’d like to see just how far Ling Yingzi has advanced over these years!"

When Sect Leader Liang of the Blood Cloud Sect heard this, his expression could not help but change. After carefully sensing Zhao Tianyue’s aura, a trace of envy appeared on his face as he sighed, "For Brother Zhao to still maintain such rapid progress on the path of Cultivation at your age is truly admirable to Liang Di! These years I’ve painstakingly cultivated, yet I’m still a few steps short of stepping into the Late-Tier Four Immortal Venerable!"

The white-haired Zhao Tianyue turned and walked out, a somewhat heroic smile on his face. "On the road of cultivation, the path is obstructed and long; what matters most is accumulation. For Sect Leader Liang to be so young and already close to the Late-Tier Four Immortal Venerable is already very impressive! All right, let’s not chat idly. Let’s directly bring people and make a trip to Chaokou Mountain. As far as I know, nearly a hundred Immortal Venerables from the other six Immortal Sects have gathered in Qingyuan City right now. Once those Immortal Venerables from the six Immortal Sects receive news that the Ghost Servant Sect is provoking our two sects at Chaokou Pass, they will definitely go join the spectacle!

Your Blood Cloud Sect and my Ancestral Soul Sect were left rather battered under the siege of the Seven Great Immortal Sects previously. If that Profound Void Immortal Venerable with his wondrous Immortal Techniques hadn’t appeared, we might already have lost large tracts of territory! Now, the other six Immortal Sects have all calmed down, yet the Ghost Servant Sect is sticking its head out like this. We must at least cut down the Ghost Servant Sect’s arrogance and regain some face. We can’t rely on that mysterious Profound Void Immortal Venerable for everything!"

In the Cultivation Realm, strength has always commanded respect. At this moment, this Sect Leader Zhao Tianyue of the Ancestral Soul Sect had already taken the lead in cultivating to the Late-Tier Four Immortal Venerable, and thus spoke with considerable confidence! Even Sect Leader Liang of the Blood Cloud Sect, whose strength was quite formidable, already conducted himself with the manners of a junior before this Sect Leader Zhao Tianyue....

....

In the main hall of the Miao Family Mansion in Qingyuan City.

Miao Yun Lake, the Inspector Bureau Chief of Qingyuan City, frowned as he looked at Lin Xuankong standing before him, and sighed, "You, you—so many days without showing your face, and you didn’t even say a word to me. Do you know how worried I was? These days, in order to search for you, I sent out all the Inspectors of the entire Inspection Bureau. We nearly turned all of Qingyuan City upside down.... Forget it, forget it. Lin Qiang, since you’ve returned safely, that’s what matters. Next time you go out, remember to say something to me!"

Seeing the concern and anxiety in this old Chief’s eyes, Lin Xuankong’s heart could not help but stir. He took a small porcelain bottle from his bosom, handed it to Miao Yun Lake, and said:

"These days, I went to the home of a hometown friend. Because I left in a hurry, I didn’t have time to inform Uncle Miao, which is indeed a bit rude.

This bottle of extremely precious blood-nourishing and qi-replenishing pills, according to what that hometown friend of mine said, was obtained from a Daoist priest who has some Immortal Techniques, and it cost quite a bit of money! But at my age, I don’t really need this kind of blood-nourishing, qi-replenishing, life-extending medicine, so I’ll give it to you, Uncle Miao!"

Although Lin Xuankong hadn’t spent much time with this Inspector Bureau Chief Miao Yun Lake, with his current Heart Nature, he greatly valued fate and opportunities! After crossing over into this Absolute Spirit Mini World, this Miao Yun Lake counted as the first person who helped him and was genuinely good to him. Lin Xuankong naturally wouldn’t be stingy with this Miao Yun Lake. This bottle of pills had been condensed from the massive amount of Life Force he absorbed from living creatures while cultivating in the mountains. For someone at Lin Xuankong’s current Realm, its assistance wasn’t that great, but for a mortal like Miao Yun Lake, it was of tremendous benefit—able to cure a hundred diseases and extend life by ten or twenty years without any problem at all!

Miao Yun Lake, hearing this, took the small porcelain bottle, placed it on the table, and nodded repeatedly as he said:

"Regardless of whether this pill is precious, and regardless of its effects, the fact that you have this intention means my worrying over you hasn’t been for nothing!"

Ma Nanfeng, who was sitting on the seat to the side, couldn’t help but roll her eyes at this and shook her head, saying:

"If these pills were really refined by some Daoist priest with Immortal Techniques, they wouldn’t be so easy to obtain! Lin Qiang, is that hometown friend of yours bragging? Moreover, speaking of Immortal figures these days, what Immortal figure can compare to that Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable who appeared in our Qingyuan City! In my view, if you truly had the ability to obtain some Immortal Elixirs from that Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable, that would count as truly precious!"

Miao Yun Lake felt somewhat displeased at hearing his wife talk like this, but he didn’t dare say much.

Lin Xuankong paid no heed whatsoever to Ma Nanfeng’s interests. The reason he came back to the Miao Family Mansion this time was to conclude some of the prior ties between the Miao Family and himself! As for this vulgar woman Ma Nanfeng, whose eyes were filled only with promotions and wealth, he had absolutely no interest in conversing with her!

Seeing that the two men weren’t speaking, Ma Nanfeng had originally wanted to say something more, but the phone on the table suddenly rang shrilly. Ma Nanfeng gave the two of them a glance, picked up the receiver, and chatted with the caller for a while. After putting down the phone, her expression turned rather unsightly.

Miao Yun Lake looked at Ma Nanfeng with some surprise. "Who was on the phone, and what happened?"

A trace of worry appeared in Ma Nanfeng’s eyes as she said:

"A big problem has come!

It was the County Magistrate. He said that Commander Ma from Jee Province has issued an order to mobilize the three Defense Battalions of Qingyuan City and all the personnel of the Inspection Bureau, to rush to Chaokou Mountain! According to the County Magistrate, all the Defense Battalions and Inspection Bureaus from more than a dozen nearby county cities are to be mobilized and sent to Chaokou Mountain!"

"Chaokou Mountain? Wasn’t the great battle over at Chaokou Pass already ended because of the appearance of that Great Immortal with vast Divine Techniques, the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable? What’s happened now?" Hearing that it was an order from Commander Ma conveyed by the County Magistrate, Miao Yun Lake’s expression turned solemn as he asked.

Ma Nanfeng hesitated for a moment, then frowned and looked at Miao Yun Lake. "The County Magistrate said that some Demon left a blood-written message outside Qingyuan City, and that tens of thousands of civilians at Chaokou Pass have also been captured by the Ai Race Demons.... It seems that this time, the Ai Race experts who’ve slaughtered their way to Chaokou Mountain are extremely formidable, also Immortal Cultivators similar to that Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable! Alas.... If Immortal Cultivators of the Ai Race have truly reached Chaokou Pass, then no matter how many Defense Battalion warriors or Inspection Bureau personnel we send, I’m afraid they’ll all just be going to their deaths!"
