Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 871: Chapter 17: The Overbearing Rival

The rumors, plus the treasures that can be seen and obtained, have led to a surge in cultivators in the Rebirth Secret Realm.

The Rebirth Secret Realm originally ranked only within the top ten worlds in terms of attraction according to the intelligence organizations on the Boundless Continent, but with ten years of development, it has become the indisputable number one.

Every day in the Rebirth Secret Realm, there are over three thousand strong practitioners from the Tenth Realm alone.

The more strong practitioners there are, the more conflicts naturally arise.

The Rebirth Secret Realm is close to reopening for rebirth, and the treasure vault will appear soon!

The Qing Xiao Saint also found Wang Sheng again:

“Fellow Daoist Wang Sheng, you can start preparing. According to our predictions, in at most three months, the number of deceased strong practitioners in the Rebirth Secret Realm will reach the required amount to reopen the rebirth. At that time, the treasure vault of the Rebirth Secret Realm will open, and we need to enter it immediately, collect the items, and leave at once.”

“Is it about to open? In these ten years, quite a few cultivators have died!”

“It’s just their own greed; they knew there was a problem, but still went in to compete.”

Wang Sheng did not mind much, only nodding and then saying, “You came to me so early, you must want to ally with me to resist other Eleventh Realm strong practitioners, right?”

He was very clear about it; although he used means to join in, he was still an outsider.

If things went as before, the best case would be for Qing Xiao to come to him at the last moment without time to make complete preparations.

If things went a bit worse, Qing Xiao would just keep him stable beforehand and wouldn’t notify him at all.

They would just take the items and leave.

If Qing Xiao succeeded, Wang Sheng could just suffer in silence.

However, Wang Sheng didn’t mind before.

His strength was powerful enough to not fear their little tricks.

In these ten years, he was not just silently waiting.

Now coming so early, it might be because of an unforeseen event.

An event that even their three Saints couldn’t handle together.

Qing Xiao knew that coming so early put him at a disadvantage, so he didn’t want to hide anything and said, “Fellow Daoist Wang Sheng, to be honest with you, there really is trouble. The Rebirth Secret Realm has attracted a powerful individual, an Eleventh Realm Saint, the Black Abyss Saint, from a large faction. In the Star Abyss, at least in the top three Saints, immensely powerful. We can only resist him by joining forces and safely retreat.”

From the beginning, they knew that as the plan proceeded, Eleventh Realm strong practitioners would appear.

But at the final stage, even if it spread, the impact would be minimal and could no longer interfere with them.

During this time, many Eleventh Realm have arrived.

Also, some strong practitioners found them, they naturally played dumb.

All being Eleventh Realm, they formed an alliance of three.

So naturally, no one dared to provoke them.

But at this time, unexpectedly, an unforeseen event happened.

An unexpected and unwelcome strong practitioner appeared.

Wang Sheng did not know the Black Abyss Saint but knew of Xing Yuan.

Star Abyss, also a force with a Twelve Realm Saint Emperor, but Xing Yuan is much stronger than the Boundless Continent, considered the strongest tier under the five top forces of the old land.

In terms of foundation and the number of strong practitioners, it far exceeds many.

And being one of the top three Saints in Xing Yuan, throughout the entire old land, is in the top tier of Eleventh Realm.

The three Qing Xiao Saints are insignificant nobodies.

Facing such a strong practitioner, being beaten three against one is not surprising.

Because even he himself could do it, and even with the three joining forces, they might not be able to exert any pressure on him, even with just an Energy Avatar.

“No wonder they came to find me, after all, I’m more or less an ally…” Wang Sheng thought to himself.

For such matters, he naturally would not refuse.

But conditions must be discussed.

“Since the three of you have told me such important information, I will naturally resist with you, but—”

“Please go ahead, my Daoist friend.” Qing Xiao Saint knew terms would certainly be proposed.

“To ensure a smooth retreat afterward, I need more information, for example, the location of the Rebirth Secret Realm’s treasure vault.”

Qing Xiao Saint showed an ’as expected’ expression and then said, “Of course, this is information we were going to tell you anyway. Fellow Daoist Wang Sheng, please follow me.”

Wang Sheng agreed to the alliance, feeling a heavy weight lifted from his heart but also felt somewhat helpless.

No one knew how far Star Abyss was from the Boundless Continent; the Black Abyss Saint had been in seclusion for years. Who knew he would suddenly come here, seemingly even coming on purpose.

Even the Reincarnation Saint Emperor might be no stronger than Star Abyss’s leading figure, the “Star Abyss Saint Emperor.” Coming on purpose was unexpected.

For strong practitioners at their level, supposedly they lack nothing.

The only task is to comprehend the path of the Twelfth Realm and not waste any time.

But since they have come, they can only find ways to deal with it.

Four Eleventh Realm, even if they can’t defeat them, should have no problem retreating safely.

Of course, some benefits will definitely be greatly reduced…

Qing Xiao Saint, with mixed feelings, soon led Wang Sheng to a place within the Rebirth Secret Realm.

Wang Sheng looked around, his heart surging: “So it really is here, looks like my previous investigation wasn’t wrong.”

Over the ten years, Wang Sheng also asked Qing Xiao Saints if they knew where the treasure vault would open.

The Qing Xiao Saints only answered that they would know when the time got close.

Wang Sheng naturally didn’t believe it and searched both openly and in secret.

But the three Qing Xiao Saints’ methods were not low. Over the years, he only discovered a bit of a clue. He originally wanted to continue investigating, but the Qing Xiao Saint came to him, saving him a lot of trouble.
