Chapter 476: 217: The difference between heaven and earth is that of immortals and mortals!

The Longevity Seed_2 of this generation.

“I wish you victory in your first battle and a safe return.”

In the end, Chen Dengming wished them luck and was t with a friendly response from the Golden Core cultivator, Sha Qian.

He watched as the three Spirit Boats departed, feeling a sense of longing in his heart.

These people did not seem too anxious.

...

Instead, they appeared rather excited.

Chen Dengming felt that this counterattack launched by various sects in the Eastern Region seed to have strayed sowhat from its original spirit.

However, this was not sothing he had any say in.

Perhaps once he beca a Golden Core cultivator, or a Longevity Seed and ascended to the upper ranks of the Longevity Sect, he could offer so suggestions.

But for now, he clearly lacked the qualifications.

The respect shown to him by the Great Golden Core cultivator was due to his impressive battle record and potential for the future.

If it were so other False Core cultivator, they might not have been so polite.

“A False Core is just that, false, and has not yet beco true.

Throughout history, many False Core cultivators have either died prematurely or got stuck at a bottleneck they could not break through.

Those are all real examples…”

Chen Dengming withdrew his gaze, his heart filled with a mix of sentintality and urgency.

He could not help but think of Senior Brother Liang from the Changchun Sect.

He shook his head and directed the Spirit Boat to quickly depart.

Along the way, he encountered several more Spirit Boats.

Chen Dengming, not wishing to engage in more socializing, eventually descended from the high altitude and sped on his way.

As he flew low over the ground, he noticed that many markets outside were filled with tents and thronged with people.

Ordinary people and low-ranking cultivators alike.

Many people’s faces bore expressions of fear and unease.

Even the low-ranking cultivators were silent and unsmiling, choosing to stay close to the markets and huddled with the ordinary people.

It was sowhat reminiscent of the gathering places of the past.

This unusual situation was relatively rare in the Eastern Region.

Chen Dengming saw various cultivator patrol teams circling around so markets nearby and gradually understood what was happening.

The war between the East and West Territories was escalating.

Even though the Western Region was temporarily at a disadvantage, many of the people who had been previously hard by the Demon Cultivators of the Western Region were perpetually fearful.

Especially ordinary people.

Those who could, scrambled to get close to the markets.

Even if they couldn’t enter, they set up tents outside to ensure their safety.

When the Demon Cultivators from the Western Region invaded in the past, many made the Demonic Beasts devour humans, while others, like those from the Soul Devouring Sect, caused cascades of killings in the human kingdom, competing to see who could kill the most people.

These terrifying acts had long since instilled deep fear in the hearts of ordinary people in the Eastern Region.

“This counterattack launched by the Heavenly Dao Sect seems to have turned into a carnival for so cultivators.

It hasn’t brought true relief or happiness to the inhabitants of the Eastern Region.

Instead, it has made their lives even more difficult…”

“Perhaps those who were calling for revenge in the past are already regretting it.”

Chen Dengming took in the sights as he traveled, not stopping along the way.

He now understood why, when he was a low-ranked cultivator, he rarely encountered high-ranked cultivators who acted like the heroes in the books, wiping out Demonic Beasts tens of miles away with a sweep of their flying swords, restoring peace to the world.

It turned out that high-ranked cultivators often flew in the high skies, unable to see the many things happening closer to the ground.

Or perhaps even if they saw, they would just glance over it, and that was it.

Had Chen Dengming not wanted to avoid socializing, he too would have taken the convenient path of speeding through the high skies.

He would never have observed the true state of the Eastern Region below the clouds.

Hence it could be said, the deeper one’s cultivation, the more detached they beco from the mundane world.

The difference between Immortal Qi and worldliness is like night and day.

…

Several hours later.

Chen Dengming returned to the Longevity Sect.

Upon his arrival, he was warmly welcod by the disciples patrolling the mountains.

Then he was surprisingly contacted by Sect Leader Xing Huiguang through Divine Sense.

“It’s good that you’ve returned.

You’ve made another significant contribution this ti.

You have brought honor to our Longevity Sect in the alliance of Eastern Region Sects.

Well done.

Rest for now.

In a month, the sect will officially announce your candidacy for the Longevity Seed.

At that ti, your treatnt within the sect will be upgraded until the Longevity Seed is selected.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming felt slightly excited.

It was not because of the well-known candidacy for the Longevity Seed, but because his treatnt and benefits within the sect would improve.

Not to ntion anything else, just the extended cooldown period for his duties as a result of the improved benefits would afford him plenty of extra ti for cultivation.

Moreover, this was the first ti that Sect Leader Xing Huiguang had taken the initiative to send him a ssage.

The significance was trendous, indicating that he had one foot in the circle of the high-ranking mbers of the Longevity Sect.

After thanking him via Divine Sense, Chen Dengming mounted his Black Cloud Leopard and headed for his cave-dwelling.

Along the way, when he encountered disciples greeting him respectfully, he would return their gestures with a smile and a bow, displaying an approachable deanor that was refreshing to those he interacted with.

“Now that I’ve been selected as a candidate for the Longevity Seed, it seems that I have no choice but to get involved.

During this period, I need to be more cautious and just focus on cultivating within the sect…”

Although disciples within the Longevity Sect rarely fought each other over personal interests.

The position of the Longevity Seed was different, however.

Once selected, during the False Core stage, one’s status would be equivalent to the elders in the sect, belonging to the upper echelon.

If one managed to reach the Golden Core stage, they would be considered a cut above the rest, akin to being grood as a future Sect Leader or a Supre Elder.

With such huge benefits and power at stake, how could anyone not be driven mad?

The more Chen Dengming thought about it, the more he felt unsafe within the sect at present.

However, monts later, upon seeing Yang Zidao conversing cheerfully with He Yingyu at the entrance of a distant cave-dwelling, he gave a surprise smile, thinking that he might be worrying over nothing.
