Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 992: Chapter 127: 4 Busy Places, Wei Dongliu_2

After pondering for a moment, Wei Dongliu pinched his Daoist Formula and performed a simple illusion trick, presenting a line of big characters before everyone:

“Without becoming a Chaotic Great Luo Golden Immortal, there is no hope for the path of ascension.”

These simple two sentences, like thunderclaps, instantly severed all chatter, and the noise in the venue abruptly ceased.

Everyone stared at the words “Chaotic Great Luo Golden Immortal” and “ascension,” their expressions either surprised, eager, contemplative, or solemn, varying widely.

“Does anyone know what ascension really entails?” Wei Dongliu stood with his hands behind his back on the stage, looking at the Nascent Soul Elders below, asking as if he were a teacher guiding his students.

No one answered, which was only natural.

Everyone harbored a certain wariness towards the Demon Cult, coupled with the unclear circumstances, thus no one was willing to speak first.

“Hehe.” Wei Dongliu then revealed the indifferent smile once worn by Jiang the Witch, calmly saying, “Ascension is not about instantly appearing in the Immortal Realm right after feathered transformation.”

“Do you know how much distance of the chaotic heavenly river separates the Immortal Realm and the Cultivation Realm?”

After a stick of incense, listening to Wei Dongliu finish explaining the numerous secrets of feathered transformation and ascension, the faces of many Nascent Soul Elders slightly changed.

Clearly, although some knew these details, most Nascent Soul Cultivators had no idea about the situation after ascension.

The long distance, with the chilling cold of the chaotic heavenly river, coupled with endless assaults from the heavenly demons, would inevitably lead to exhaustion and death without a chance to recover the True Yuan.

Precisely because of this, only those whose True Yuan is endless, the Chaotic Great Luo Golden Immortals, have the chance to traverse the long chaotic heavenly river and reach the distant Immortal Realm on the other side.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but feel an inner dread and sadness.

Becoming a Chaotic Great Luo Golden Immortal necessitates forming a First Grade Immortal Infant.

However, nowadays, aside from Changgeng of the Kunlun Taiqing Sect, who else can form a First Grade Immortal Infant? Even forming a Divine Infant is worthy of a grand celebration and universal rejoicing!

Seeing most cultivators’ faces filled with fear, Wei Dongliu smiled faintly and said:

“To become a Chaotic Great Luo Golden Immortal requires a First Grade Immortal Infant, which means a First Grade Golden Core is needed.”

“If the first step is empty, every subsequent step will be empty too, with no chance of recovery…but is it really so?”

“If it truly were so, then the Three Pure Orthodox Sect and our Six Paths wouldn’t be competing for White Jade Capital, Golden Que, and the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden.”

This sentence, like a plot twist, instantly obliterated everyone’s miscellaneous thoughts, all eyes and attention focused on Wei Dongliu.

Is the Demon Cult worth collaborating with? Not at all! Regardless of the reputation of the Mortal Life Path, merely collaborating with the Demon Cult would incur the wrath of the Orthodox Sect, sufficient for most Nascent Soul Cultivators to completely avoid it.

However, when it involves repairing a flawed Dao source…

Forget the Demon Cult, even if confronted with heavenly demons, it’s worth taking the risk!

After placating everyone with a few understated words, Wei Dongliu finally unveiled the main topic:

“Regarding the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm…”

That night, many Nascent Soul Elders silently left the auction venue one after another, each laden with their own thoughts.

Before coming here, everyone had their own schemes, even planning to inform the Orthodox Sect after gathering intel, some even willing to sell themselves out.

But this time Wei Dongliu’s disclosure was too explosive, making it impossible for anyone to betray it without being deeply affected.

Even taking a thousand steps back, even if one were to inform the Orthodox Sect, what benefit could they gain from it?

If all thousand Nascent Soul Elders agree to join the Demon Cult’s expedition to the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm, what good would it do for one person to betray them?

What benefit could the Orthodox Sect offer that would surpass the opportunity to repair the Dao source? Even a slim chance!

In the deserted auction venue, Wei Dongliu still stood silently with his hands behind his back, seemingly lost in deep thought.

“Are you not worried that these people will go out and inform?” Jiang the Witch’s voice sounded behind him, “Although the Three Pure Ones are corrupt and ignorant, if enough people inform, they would at least be vigilant, wouldn’t they?”

“Not to mention, if the Orthodox Sect sends letters to the sects, most might be dissatisfied but would order their elders not to mingle with the Demon Cult?”

Wei Dongliu smiled calmly and said:

“Not worried.”

Jiang Li An: …

She waited for a long time, yet Wei Dongliu didn’t explain “why he’s not afraid”. This mysterious demeanor made her grit her teeth, but she quickly suppressed her dissatisfaction and said with a smile:

“Should I send someone to monitor these Nascent Soul Elders? If anyone really goes to the Orthodox Sect to inform, eliminate them on the way, how about it?”

“Not appropriate.” Wei Dongliu shook his head and said, “The fall of a Nascent Soul Cultivator is not a common occurrence.”

“If several Nascent Soul Cultivators fall consecutively, and they are all those who came today for the meeting, what would the remaining cultivators think? Don’t treat everyone like fools.”

“Heh heh.” Jiang Li An responded indifferently, “It’s your idea anyway. I’m just responsible for offering suggestions. Whether or not to adopt them is up to you.”

“In that case, would you be willing to accompany me to the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm this time, my lady?” Wei Dongliu held her hand.

Jiang the Witch was somewhat tempted, but then she quickly thought of the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden being a secret realm of the Human Race, certainly not allowing a Heavenly Demon to intrude at will. She could only force a smile and say:

“I also want to go, but I haven’t formed a Nascent Infant yet.”

Ah, so your current setting is still the Golden Core Realm? Wei Dongliu was left dumbfounded.

Not to mention this Heavenly Demon identity, is there any Golden Core Realm cultivator in the world who can suppress a Nascent Soul Cultivator effectively? Don’t you find this lie awkward?

“In that case, what a pity.” Wei Dongliu suppressed the urge to smirk coldly and said with apparent regret.

The two then controlled their swords back to Mount Wutai, standing side by side along the way, eyes straight ahead, but their minds were on each other.

Knowing full well the other is lying, yet not able to expose it, while oneself also has to lie to cover up their knowledge of the other’s deceit… This couple is probably in a similar ambiguous and unclear state.

Upon returning to Mount Wutai, Wei Dongliu quickly used Flying Sword Messaging again.

This time, it was not to contact the numerous small and medium sects but to invite the other six paths excluding the Hell Path to come here to discuss.

Ever since the last time to stop Shushan, everyone teamed up to the Yunmeng Marsh Country trip, which ended up achieving nothing—a prime example of harming others without benefiting oneself.

Although weakening the Three Pure Orthodox Sect is a consensus of the Six Paths, fighting such fruitless battles often made everyone reluctant, so it took several days to gradually receive responses.

A gathering is possible, but what is the matter to be discussed?

Wei Dongliu naturally wouldn’t reply. After all, being Great Alliance Leader Wei, his role is to make decisions from the top, not to explain decisions to those below.

You just need to execute them!

On the day of the meeting, it was seen that the one from the Nether Ghost Path was Mo Gu True Person, Wen Yang did not come; from the Heavenly Demon Path came Ling Yun True Person; from the Asura Path came Gu Lie, and from the Eastern Emperor Path came Long Xiaoqi, both of these two are also at the Golden Core Realm.

Aside from familiar faces, all four sects sent Golden Core True Persons with insufficient authority to discuss, clearly hinting at “don’t bother us if it’s not important”.

Wei Dongliu did not get angry, just said lightly:

“Fane Li Path has invited you all here this time, intending to discuss the matter of the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm.”

Four people: !!!

Upon hearing this explosive news, the four people’s reactions were varied.

Mo Gu True Person was first astonished, then overjoyed.

The sect misjudged Fane Li Path, thinking this time Great Alliance Leader Wei was again looking for some reason to build prestige, so no Nascent Soul Elder attended the meeting, only he volunteered to investigate.

Unexpectedly, it’s about discussing such a significant matter as the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm!

In the place of other envoys, knowing themselves to be of just Golden Core grade and lacking position, they would of course hurry back to report, allowing the sect to send high-ranking cultivators who could make decisions—at least the confidants of the Sect Leader level.

But Mo Gu True Person was not one to fear trouble, so he immediately decided: talk first!

After negotiating with Wei Dongliu, then take this negotiation result and go back to the sect to negotiate with that group of old undying; this way, holding the initiative in his own hands!

He glanced around without changing expression, sweeping past the disinterested Long Xiaoqi and the solemn Gu Lie, finally resting his gaze on Ling Yun True Person.

The Golden Core True Persons from the Eastern Emperor Path and Asura Path were both unknowns, seemingly nameless individuals.

The key to the upcoming negotiations, whether everyone can join forces to pressure against Fane Li Path, falls upon Ling Yun True Person!
