In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path-Chapter 974

Chapter 974: 391: Friends come from nowhere!

With the spirit of immortals and knights, we cultivators.

Although he dared not delve deeply into the identity of the powerful cultivator who practiced both the Dao of Buddhism and the Dao of Ghosts and had seriously injured Dongfang Huayuan, Chen Dengming knew that he must immediately inform Zuo Qiuling of this crucial intelligence so that the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance could be prepared.

With foreknowledge, the Divinity Transformation Dao Lords of the alliance would initiate investigations and take precautions.

...

This was to take preventive measures in advance, to have plans before the crisis struck, which would benefit the Four Seas and Four Realms.

Chen Dengming was not one to delay matters, and he quickly transmitted the news to Zuo Qiuling via a Jade Talisman for Message Transmission.

At the same time, he also brought up the supplies needed for the recovery of the seriously injured Dongfang Huayuan.

Upon hearing these two pieces of major news, Zuo Qiuling was shocked for a moment, then pondered and said, “A powerhouse who is a suspected cultivator of both the Dao of Buddhism and the Dao of Ghosts, perhaps even a Great Master of the He Dao?

Could it alarm that Buddha in The World from Island Xumi?

Do you have any ideas about who it could be?”

Without a second thought, Chen shrugged.

What idea could he possibly have!

The moment he began to have any inkling of an idea, he perceived the risk involved.

It simply wasn’t safe to have any ideas about such matters.

He had his suspicions but dared not share them, reminding Zuo Qiuling, “A being of such might may possess some extraordinary insight that is beyond normal comprehension.

I can’t guess who it is given my short cultivation history, and even if I could guess, I’d rather not.

You’d best report honestly to the Elder Divinity Transformation Dao Lords.”

Zuo Qiuling gave a light laugh in response, “Well said, Sect Leader Chen.

You are cautious and experienced.

Your ability to handle things is seamless, even more so than an old fellow like me, despite your short cultivation history.”

“It’s just experience accumulated from painful lessons.

Let’s skip the flattery; you know the situation with Elder Dongfang now.

It must be addressed swiftly.”

“You indeed deserve to be called the Fighting Longevity Monarch.”

Zuo Qiuling lamented, “I was still frantically searching for the whereabouts of our Sect Leader, and you’ve already found him so quickly…”

Chen Dengming responded, “After all, I’m also a successor of the Human Immortal Dao System.

Naturally, I have my ways of finding him.

Now that I have informed you of the situation, does the Cultivator Alliance possess any spiritual medicine that can heal Elder Dongfang’s divine spirit injuries?”

Zuo Qiuling was troubled, “I’m afraid it won’t be easy to find more of such medicine at short notice.

Such spiritual medicines are already rare, and a divinity transformation powerhouse like Elder Dongfang, once injured, would require a significant amount.”

Chen Dengming hinted slyly, “If the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance doesn’t have enough, I happen to have a friend who has a batch of rare goods at his disposal.

How about we transfer those to you for Merit Points?”

Zuo Qiuling was stunned, “A friend of yours?

Who?

What goods?”

“River of Styx Water, Soul Flowers, he has them all.”

Zuo Qiuling quickly realized the implication, and asked with a mix of caution and seriousness, “Sect Leader Chen, this friend you’re talking about is yourself, isn’t it?

You actually have such supplies on hand.

Didn’t I remind you back then that you must never trade resources with the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch?

Have you gone ahead and done so privately?”

This time, it was Chen Dengming’s turn to be stunned.

He hadn’t thought this far ahead.

And now, his own musings had caused a misunderstanding with Zuo Qiuling.

Indeed, all these Nascent Soul old monsters are incredibly shrewd; not a single one is to be underestimated.

But Chen knew his conscience was clear and he had a reasonable explanation, admitting candidly that he was ‘making friends out of thin air’ a moment ago.

The rare materials were actually acquired from Qianluo Ghost King, whom he had slain in the past.

His intention was to donate everything to the Cultivator Alliance for free.

However, as his Sect was in dire straits and in urgent need of resources, he had no choice but to sell this batch of items he didn’t wish to part with, to revitalize his Sect.

“Enough, enough, you don’t need to give me a sob story,” said Zuo Qiuling, halfway between irritation and amusement.

“Your Longevity Sect has indeed suffered this time.

If you’re offering these goods to the Cultivator Alliance, do you think I, Zuo Qiuling, would cheat you?

Let’s settle this using Merit Points.”

Having said that, Zuo Qiuling was secretly delighted.

He had long known that Chen Dengming possessed River of Styx Water, because, with the intelligence resources at his disposal, there was no way he could be unaware of Chen Dengming presenting the Six Eyebrows True Monarch with the water.

But he didn’t know how much more of such resources Chen had, or whether he would be willing to sell them to the Cultivator Alliance.

As he wondered how to broach the subject with the Longevity Sect, currently in a somewhat pitiful state, Chen himself stepped right into the situation, sparing Zuo Qiuling the awkwardness of asking, which made Chen seem in the wrong instead.

It goes to show that experience always carries a touch of cunning.

Having reported the series of events, Chen Dengming felt unburdened.

He immediately proceeded with his plan, allowing his incarnations to continue the search for the Ancestor while he began rebuilding the Sect’s gates and refining new Nascent Soul Soul Arrows.

…

Six days later.

At the Black Crow Mountain Range defense line in the Western Region, a barrier stretching thousands of miles stood against the forces of Outer Realm Evil Cultivators.

In days past, this area was manned by numerous disciples of the Demon Palace and several hundred thousand demons and cultivators from the great Demon Countries, all dedicated to repelling the assaults organized by the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance, striving to prevent the West from falling and the Great Curtain Passage from destruction.

Yet now, the defense line crumbled without an attack, a total disarray, with the many demon cultivators and demons scattered like birds and beasts.

The black crows that had been driven away returned to their old haunts, pecking merrily at the human remains scattered in the mountains, feasting contentedly.

“Rumble, rumble, rumble—”

One after another, enormous Spirit Boats cleaved through the air toward the mountains, churning up the air and stirring up gales that swept across the Black Crow Mountain Range.

The sudden disturbance roused a cacophony of clamor from the crows, as they took off in frenzied flight, their scattered formations resembling a chaotic cloud of black.
