In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path Chapter 442

Chapter 442: 204: The grace of the past is repaid today, and it’s hard to seek revenge when Mosha claims a life_2 Chapter 442: 204: The grace of the past is repaid today, and it’s hard to seek revenge when Mosha claims a life_2 “Shaful.”

The disciple who is reputed to be the best at fighting in the Heavenly Dao Sect, lost to the worst fighter in the Longevity Sect.

What can he brag about in the future?

Looking grim, Qiao Zhaoxian walked out of the Reincarnation View, only to find that a crowd had already gathered outside.

A few of them were quite familiar to him, all of them at the False Core stage.

As soon as they saw him, they enthusiastically greeted him.

“Brother Qiao!”

“Brother Qiao, has Chen Baimao’s intel from the Longevity Sect been recorded yet?”

Qiao Zhaoxian frowned and huffed, “Speak respectfully.

...

What kind of na is Chen Baimao?”

The one who greeted him looked awkward.

Qiao Zhaoxian coldly said, “Respecting your opponent is respecting yourself.

If you can’t even respect your opponent, you’ve already lost the battle.

It’s not the ti for you to be arrogant and complacent.

Who amongst you can defeat a Golden Core cultivator?”

The young cultivators hearing this reined in their recklessness and paid attention, studying his words carefully.

“At least you still have fighting spirit.”

Qiao Zhaoxian’s expression softened.

“The intelligence has been logged.

You can go now.”

After a mont of thought, he added, “A very important piece of information is missing from what was recorded.

That is the secret weapon Chen Dengming used to kill the Blazing Blood Demon.

I suspect that this weapon involves so peculiar power that may not be docunted in the Reincarnation View and hence can’t be simulated…”

The crowd was astonished upon hearing this, and they beca even more interested.

They filed into the Reincarnation View one after another to challenge Chen Dengming.

…

After leaving the Fantastical True Cave, Chen Dengming headed straight back to his dwelling.

He was planning to discuss with He Yingyu how to exchange their battle rits for the items they needed.

However, he spotted a familiar figure pacing back and forth as soon as he reached the crossroad leading to his cave residence.

The figure clearly recognized Chen Dengming as well as he imdiately approached him joyously, albeit nervously.

“Chen, Senior Brother Chen, do you still rember , Cao Yan?”

Chen Dengming saw the familiar face, with its thick brows and large eyes, and broke into a smile.

“Senior Brother Cao!

Of course, I rember you.”

“Ah, no, no, no…”

Upon being addressed as ‘senior brother’ by Chen Dengming, Cao Yan quickly waved his hands and said with an embarrassed smile, “Senior Brother Chen, it’s a well known fact in the Cultivation World that those more talented than others are held in high regard.

You can’t call Senior Brother Cao anymore.

I can’t handle such high regard; it will lead to people laughing at .”

“Ah, but we are old friends and we’ve even faced life and death together.

We shouldn’t fuss about such trivial matters.”

Chen Dengming exchanged polite remarks and seeing Cao Yan’s continuous refusal, he ceased insisting.

They each addressed the other in their own way and Chen felt a sense of nostalgia in his heart.

The first ti he was sent to the battlefield from the Changchun Sect on a rescue mission, Cao Yan had already been a high stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator.

He was the strongest one on that mission and acted as the team leader.

Now, six years later, Cao Yan seed weather-beaten.

Their conversations were no longer as casual as before.

Cao Yan was a lot more cautious.

“Before I joined the Longevity Sect, I did inquire about you, Brother Cao.

When I heard that you had left the sect, I had to give up.

Did you only return to the sect recently?”

“Hah..” laughed Cao Yan in a bitter-sweet manner.

“Brother Chen, you don’t know this.

I got stuck in my cultivation and had to travel to break through the False Core stage.

I had to broaden my horizons and gain real world experience.

That is why I recently returned to the Sect.”

Chen Dengming suddenly realized.

All this while, his cultivation had been unimpeded.

He’d completely forgotten that cultivating had its bottlenecks for normal cultivators.

No wonder it took Cao Yan so many years and he still hasn’t broken through.

Cao Yan laughed.

“After I returned to the sect, I heard that two new False Core Great Cultivators had joined.

I was pleasantly surprised to find one of them was soone I knew.

But then, your heroic deeds in the battlefield really surprised .

I was quite nervous about visiting you.”

“What’s there to be nervous about?

You once did a favor, Brother Cao.

I’m still owing you.”

Chen Dengming laughed.

“Ah, it’s you.

My visit has not been in vain!”

Cao Yan felt a warmth in his heart.

He secretly admired Chen Dengming’s personality.

Even after so many years, he remained as approachable and friendly as he was back then.

No matter how great his achievents, he still retained that humble attitude.

This was indeed rare and comndable.

After chatting for so ti, they reached the entrance of the cave residence.

Chen Dengming invited Cao Yan inside to sit for a while.

Cao Yan promptly refused with a smile, “No, please don’t trouble yourself.

I have to travel far.

After spending years away from the Sect, I’ve not carried out my duties.

I’m about to rush to the battlefield.”

“Oh?”

Seeing that Cao Yan seed to want to say sothing but was hesitating, Chen Dengming smiled and suggested.

“Brother Cao, the battlefield is dangerous.

If there’s anything I can help with, just ask.

You helped in the past, we can help each other.”

Cao Yan felt both grateful and embarrassed.

Indeed, he had not seen Chen Dengming for many years.

Though his reasons were unavoidable, it was indeed impolite to ask for help imdiately upon his visit.

However, Chen Dengming was really righteous.

He chuckled, half-jokingly, half-seriously, “It’s not anything serious, I just heard that you are particularly adept in the art of spirit communication and ghost manipulation.

As it happens, this mission might require to deal with the Demon Cultivation from the Soul Devouring Sect, and they are not ordinary Demon Cultivators.

So, I would like to boldly ask you for advice on dealing with Soul Ghosts…”

“Oh?”

Chen Dengming smiled, a twinkle in his eyes.

“Brother Cao, you’ve co to the right person.

I can certainly help with this.”

Cao Yan’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

A mont later, Chen Dengming with a smile on his face, bid farewell to a satisfied and very grateful Cao Yan.

He had many tips for dealing with Ghost Creatures.

Apart from those taught to him by the Mini Array Spirit, he also learnt a lot from the peculiar ghost-fighting techniques and ghost defeating thods inside Lin He’s Storage Bag.
