"It seems I’ve heard about this before... Right, it’s the one who mastered the Longevity Divine Power in this generation’s Longevity Sect, isn’t it?"
The middle-aged cultivator hurriedly nodded, flattering:
"The Supreme Elder truly has an insight that shines for thousands of miles."
"Longevity Sect, Longevity Divine Power..."
The elder remained unaffected, his gaze thoughtful.
The cultivators below noticed the elder’s reaction and felt their hearts stir.
Immediately, a fat cultivator with a smiling face stepped forward:
"Supreme Elder, now that the Immortal Ascensions of the Longevity Sect are no more, the sect appears to be on the decline. Why don’t we seize the opportunity to strike while they are weak and seize the Longevity Sect’s accumulation over tens of thousands of years?"
The elder neither agreed nor disagreed, his brows slightly relaxed, then he turned to the middle-aged cultivator and asked:
"The Wanxiang Sect must have seen even greater changes, right?"
As he spoke.
His mind involuntarily flashed an image of a figure in pale-white garments, and a hint of sharpness subconsciously surfaced in his eyes.
After so many years, it was the first time he had suffered such a huge loss at the hands of a junior!
If it weren’t for the fact that he always left room for maneuver in his actions, and had even used the Oblivion Divine Power to deliberately forget his backup plans, to avoid being overconfident.
At this moment, he would probably be like those Immortal Ascensions of the Jin Dynasty, suspended in the sky and completely becoming a part of this world.
Even so, his losses were now immense and incalculable, and he even had to show himself in person to take control of the situation.
The middle-aged cultivator quickly replied:
"Replying to the Supreme Elder, indeed there have been major changes in the Wanxiang Sect. The exact number of their Immortal Ascensions isn’t clear, but the position of Sect Master has been taken over by the former Mountain Lord of Shaoyin Mountain, Qu Shentong, and there’s also a newly appointed Deputy Sect Master... um, a person named ’Wang Ba’."
"Bang!"
The void next to the elder suddenly exploded in sound!
The sky darkened in an instant, as if sensing something, the clouds overhead began to slowly gather...
All the Nascent Soul cultivators held their breath, nervously watching the elder, and the air instantly fell silent.
"Huff—"
The elder let out a long sigh.
The sharpness in his eyes quietly disappeared, and the terrifying aura around him quickly retracted. The clouds in the sky suddenly lost their target, lingered for a while, and gradually dispersed.
He looked at the middle-aged cultivator:
"Where were we? Continue."
The middle-aged cultivator nervously swallowed and, suppressing the terror in his heart, hurriedly sped through his words:
"Yes, just now we were talking about the Deputy Sect Master of the Wanxiang Sect, Wang Ba. This person is unremarkable at best, the only noteworthy thing about him is that he has a master who has undergone Immortal Ascension..."
The elder couldn’t help but let out a snort upon hearing this.
Unremarkable at best?
If he didn’t vividly remember this junior named Wang Ba, who had used various means to seize the Divine Position of the Yin God from him, ruining two hundred years of his meticulous planning, he might indeed have believed the other was unremarkable and insignificant.
If he felt hatred towards Xun FuJun, then towards Wang Ba, a junior who had just entered Nascent Soul stage, he felt not only hatred but also humiliation and rage.
What was key was that he clearly remembered having shattered the opponent’s soul consciousness, risking everything to do so.
But at the last moment, the opponent mysteriously revived on the spot.
"Did I see it wrong?"
"Was it the Will of the heaven and earth, or an unknown Divine Skill?"
The elder’s thoughts were furrowed in contemplation.
And at this time, the surrounding cultivators were not blind, they could see that the elder had some designs regarding the new Deputy Sect Master of the Wanxiang Sect.
The fat cultivator with a smiling face who just suggested attacking the Longevity Sect heard the middle-aged cultivator’s words, and his face showed great delight, immediately voicing out:
"Supreme Elder, even their Sect Master is just a Nascent Soul cultivator. The Wanxiang Sect’s losses must be even greater this time! We could bypass the Longevity Sect altogether and make a move against Wanxiang Sect!"
Although the Holy Sect also suffered great losses, with the Supreme Elder present, swallowing the Wanxiang Sect was not an impossible hope.
And once the Wanxiang Sect was swallowed, with the accumulation of the Wanxiang Sect over the years, not to mention anything else, these Nascent Soul cultivators would surely feast to their heart’s content, and once their power was sufficient, they could take advantage of the momentum to swallow the Longevity Sect, the Youxian Temple...
This reasoning was not only clear to the smiling fat cultivator, but the other cultivators also came to the same realization.
Remembering the elder’s generous reward earlier, they all couldn’t help but regret not having spoken up sooner with suggestions.
In the crowd, only Shen Fu’s heart sank suddenly.
"This is bad, Old Demon Han is probably going to set his sights on the Wanxiang Sect now! I have to hurry and inform my senior brother!"
However, contrary to what the cultivators expected, the elder merely cast a faint glance at the fat cultivator with the smiling face and said indifferently:
"The Wanxiang Sect... No need to bother with it."
Not, not bother with it?
Not just the fat cultivator, but the other cultivators around him were all startled.
They were somewhat puzzled by the Supreme Elder’s thoughts.
The elder frowned slightly, paused for a moment, then added:
"Keep an eye on the Wanxiang Sect, but don’t act recklessly."
Then without waiting for the others to react, he turned back to the middle-aged cultivator and asked:
"Anything else?"
The middle-aged cultivator hesitated for a moment, then said:
"The whereabouts of Youxian Temple are a mystery, and even my subordinate cultivators are not clear about it, but the Qin Family has also changed..."
Compared to the affairs of the Three Sects, the changes in the Qin Family obviously did not warrant attention from the elder.
So, after listening for a few moments, he simply flicked a porcelain vial towards the middle-aged cultivator.
He softly encouraged him with a few words.
The fat cultivator with a smiling face saw that the elder had no intention of rewarding him and hesitated for a moment, then promptly reported another matter to the elder.
"The True Martial Cultivators raised by the Three Continents have rebelled against Daosheng Continent?"
The elder showed a slight hint of surprise:
