Taiping Dao, continuing to hold a steady position in the Southern Domain, quietly observed the raging war to the north, waiting for the right mont.
...
While Taiping Dao was evaluating the northern warfare,
far away, tens of thousands of miles away in Dongyang Mountain, a discussion concerning the war in the Changqing Domain was also underway.
Dongyang Mountain, a major sect dominating a region, now had a Great True Person presiding, its montum as rising as the morning sun, brimming with vitality, its future beyond asure.
Logically speaking, for such a major sect, the minor disputes of neighboring neighbors should not be of much concern.
To the north, there were no Heavenly Immortals; the battles between Changqing Immortal Sect and Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, heated as they were, were rely minor skirmishes among Earth Immortals.
For a Heavenly Immortal Great True Person, watching such skirmishes was like watching ants fight, without the slightest interest.
Even if a clear victor erged from the north, producing a Chosen One who achieved the Heavenly Flower Dao Fruit and ascended to the status of a Great True Person,
While certainly noteworthy, for other Heavenly Immortal major sects, it simply ant one more peer; for Dongyang Mountain, it rely ant one more neighbor.
The impact was actually not significant.
Since the birth of Immortal Sects, at the level of Heavenly Immortals, conflicts between two Great True Persons were generally rare.
In Donghua Continent, for nearly a million years, there had been no reported conflicts at the Heavenly Immortal level.
Among ordinary Immortal Sects, frequent battles were common, but at the level of Heavenly Immortals, such things suddenly disappeared, no longer heard of.
It was as if the once fierce and combative cultivators, upon becoming Great True Persons, began to cultivate their morality and beca peaceful and non-aggressive.
Their entire personalities changed.
Regarding this, within Donghua Continent or even within the Immortal Realm, mortals, immortals, ghosts, monsters, and demons all had their own speculations and discussions.
But those Great True Persons kept their mouths sealed, not disclosing the reasons, leaving others to speculate.
Various argunts were hotly debated among the masses, debated for many years without a convincing consensus ever being reached.
It seed that only by oneself becoming a Great True Person, becoming a Heavenly Immortal, could one truly understand the truth.
But achieving the status of Heavenly Immortal, how difficult is that?
In the entire Donghua Continent, the total number of Heavenly Immortals was barely more than ten.
In comparison, there were over a thousand Immortals and millions of cultivators.
Becoming an Immortal was already difficult, let alone becoming a Heavenly Immortal, which was even more so, almost a far-fetched luxury.
Hence, the reasons behind the dramatic change in the nature of each Heavenly Immortal also remained unanswered.
But one thing was certain to everyone.
That is, conflicts among Heavenly Immortals were rare, and their enthusiasm for territorial expansion was also extrely weak.
Every Great True Person seed only interested in maintaining their own domain, never thinking of expansion.
Even if their neighbor was as vulnerable as Changqing Domain, lacking a Great True Person and utterly defenseless, absorbing them had never crossed their minds.
This peculiar phenonon just appeared so outlandishly.
Thus, whenever a Great True Person fell, many aspiring to Heavenly Immortality from various factions would swarm together, fighting to establish a dominion for themselves to earn a Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit.
Now, the two major powers in Changqing Domain were able to battle unreservedly for nearly ten thousand years, precisely because of this inexplicable reason, without fear of being annexed by Heavenly Immortal powers like Dongyang Mountain, thus focusing on their strife for supremacy.
Otherwise, with a Great True Person watching next door, no matter how courageous they were, they would not dare to encroach near the other.
But now, this Great True Person of Dongyang Mountain, who usually didn’t pay much attention to his neighbors or show much interest in expanding territory, had erged from two years of seclusion, learned of the conditions to the north, and summoned several of his disciples to inquire about the northern warfare.
Inside Dongyang Great Hall, the Great True Person of Dongyang, Shi Junyang, called a few of his disciples and after gaining a rough understanding, turned to Wang Shizhou who had previously had dealings with the north, and asked, "Shizhou, have the Jiuzhou and Changqing factions in the north resud hostilities?"
Wang Shizhou had once traveled to Changqing Domain to rescue his disciple Li Ruoqing, and during that ti, he stayed in Taiping Dao’s territory and ford a friendship with the next School Leader of Changqing Immortal Sect, Song Xiren, over several days.
Since then, over the past hundred-plus years, Song Xiren had frequently corresponded with him through letters.
Since the war resud twenty years ago, even though he was on the front line, Song Xiren had sent several letters discussing battlefield matters, thus Wang was substantially inford.
Not to ntion, on Taiping Dao’s side, Qing Guanzi had also shared many secrets from the front line as stories with his fellow daoist.
Thus, upon hearing his Great True Person’s question, Wang Shizhou imdiately stepped forward and replied, "Immortal Venerate, from twenty years ago, the Changqing Immortal Sect and Jiuzhou Immortal Gate started an all-out war again."
Now the war has raged for twenty years, both sides have lost ten Human Immortals and nurous disciples, thousands in number, both suffering trendous losses.
Moreover, Jiuzhou Immortal Gate has had many of its formations broken, losing nearly a region’s territory, and is now in decline."
Changqing Immortal Sect thereby boosted their morale and is now preparing to launch an even fiercer offensive; within the next five or six years, the final decisive battle between the two sects is expected."
Wang Shizhou combined the information from his two friends and truthfully answered.
Upon hearing this, Shi Junyang couldn’t help but sigh: "The slaughter on the battlefield, the infighting within the Immortal Sects, I find it unfortunate."
Seeing this, Wang Shizhou, curious, asked, "Immortal Venerate usually secludes himself for cultivation and seldom concerns himself with the affairs of the sect, let alone the Outer Territory. The two sects in the north have been fighting for ten thousand years, yet Immortal Venerate hardly ever inquired about it before.
Why, upon erging from seclusion this ti, did you begin to inquire about it, does this northern battle involve our Dongyang Mountain?"
With these words, several of Wang Shizhou’s fellow disciples also curiously looked towards their Great True Person.
To prompt Immortal Venerate to speak, there must be sothing special about this battle in the north.
Otherwise, given Immortal Venerate’s temperant, even if the two sects were fighting fiercely enough to turn the entire Changqing Domain into wasteland, he would not spare it a second glance.
Yet now he had spoken up and specifically called them to ask about it, which was indeed unusual.
How could this not make the disciples curious?
