There is no shortage of geniuses in the world of cultivating immortals, but even for the top geniuses who are born with superb spiritual powers, it is impossible for them to break through several realms in just a few years.

This is because for any cultivator, there is an upper limit to the speed at which their spiritual orifices can absorb spiritual energy.

Although some elixirs and treasures can increase the absorption speed, it is impossible to be as exaggerated as Chen Feng's.

Mo Wuxie had specifically asked Master Kongyou about this question before, but even Master Kongyou didn't know the answer to this question.

It just means that Chen Beijing has a big secret.

After Xiao Ling sat down, he continued:
"Time flies. In the blink of an eye, I have practiced for 1,300 years. Whenever I look back on the first half of my life, I feel that I am very lucky. At that time, I was just a chores disciple."

Xiao Ling began to talk about his past, his expression full of vicissitudes.

Living for 1,300 years, for mortals, that is 13 lifetimes.

Even for immortal cultivators, it is difficult to live to this age.

The highest level of the Golden Elixir can last for a thousand years, and only the Nascent Soul can exceed a thousand years.

The monks present did not share Xiao Ling's emotion when they heard his words. They only felt envy.

Especially some Jindan cultivators who are nearing the end of their lifespan are extremely envious.

One thousand three hundred years old, with Xiao Ling's current cultivation level, he can still live another seven hundred years. And as long as Xiao Ling can break through a small realm within the seven hundred years, his lifespan will increase further.

Immortality is always the goal pursued by most cultivators.

At this time, the True Lord Kongyou beside him said:
"Old Ghost Xiao, I didn't come here to listen to your stories this time. Let's talk business."

True Lord Kongyou will not attend the birthday banquet this time, so he naturally has no interest in listening to Xiao Ling talk about his experiences here.

Xiao Ling said coldly: "Kong You, if you don't want to listen, you can get out now!"

Upon hearing this, Master Kongyou immediately emitted a powerful aura: "Old Ghost Xiao, do you want to fight here?"

Although Master Kongyou didn't want to offend Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling told him to get out in front of so many people, which made him lose all his face.

"Come on, do you think I'm afraid of you?" After Xiao Ling finished speaking, he saw the formation patterns on the six stone pillars in the hall flashing.

Seeing this scene, all the monks' faces changed drastically.

If Xiao Ling and Master Kongyou took action here, they would be the ones in trouble.

The fight between Yuanying Zhenjun is no joke, the aftermath alone can cause the death of a low-level cultivator.

What's more, it seems that Xiao Ling is preparing to use the fifth-level formation, the Six Pillars of the Sky.

Linghu Heng and Mo Wuxie's faces also changed. If Master Kongyou took action, he would not care about them.

Master Kongyou narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Ling, his fists clenched.

If it were in the outside world, he would not be afraid at all to fight with Xiao Ling, but this is Emerald Island, where there is a fifth-level formation set up by Xiao Ling.

Facing a fifth-order formation, it would be a lie to say there is no pressure.

The other monks all looked at Chen Feng at this time, because Chen Feng was the only one who could persuade them now.

After all, Chen Feng represents the Xingfeng Sect, one of the four major Nascent Soul forces in the outer sea today.

Looking at the gaze from Chen Feng, Chen Feng simply chose to ignore it.

He would not try to persuade them. He hoped that the two sides would fight. It would be best if Xiao Ling could kill Master Kongyou, or at least seriously injure him.

This is also a disguised way of weakening the strength of Kongyou City.

Master Kongyou spoke at this time: "Xiao Ling, if you really intend to take action, then our outer sea will suffer heavy losses in this chaos."

Zhenjun Kongyou was the first to give in. He didn't want to fight with Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling snorted coldly and sat down again.

Seeing that the two had no intention of taking action, the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Ling said at this time:

"I'm sure you've all heard rumors recently that a major turmoil is about to break out in the Inner Sea. I've received news that Yanshen Sect and Wangyue City have declared war, and both sides are now preparing for a major war."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Both of these forces have ancestors who have reached the state of transformation in charge.

The Yanshen Sect and Wangyue City are also among the top forces in the Inner Sea.

Wangyue City has dominated the southern waters of the Inland Sea for thousands of years and has the most affiliated forces.

The Yanshen Sect has been passed down for tens of thousands of years and has an extremely profound foundation.

If these two forces clash, it will bring about the involvement of countless other forces.

A leader of a third-level force hesitated and asked, "Senior Xiao Ling, do you know why they declared war?"

The others also looked at Xiao Ling. The information Yuanying Zhenjun received was obviously more detailed than theirs.

And generally speaking, the fifth-level forces in the Inland Sea would not easily declare war, so this declaration of war must have meant something extraordinary had happened.

Xiao Ling said with a wry smile;

"The cause is a bit ridiculous. The Holy Son of Yanshen Sect and the Young City Lord of Wangyue City were both pursuing the Young Palace Lord of Bingchuan Palace. Some time ago, the two met during an exploration of a secret realm, and a conflict broke out between the two sides. The Young City Lord of Wangyue City was directly abolished by the Holy Son of Yanshen Sect, which triggered a war between the two forces."

After hearing this, everyone was speechless.

The jealousy between the two youngsters actually caused turmoil in the entire world of immortal cultivation. This seems a bit trifling no matter how you look at it.

"However, this is also because the two ancestors of Yanshen Sect and Wangyue City have a personal grudge, and with this incident, it completely broke out."

"We in the outer sea must make a decision now. The reason why there were so many casualties in the war six thousand years ago was because we did not have a united front."

"I asked everyone to come here today to discuss this matter during my birthday party."

Xiao Ling didn't say anything else after he finished speaking, and the others immediately started discussing.

As for which force to choose, it is indeed difficult for these third-level forces in the outer sea to decide which side to stand on.

The main reason is that they don’t particularly understand the current strength of Wangyue City and Yanshen Sect. Plus, if they make the wrong choice, the fate that awaits them will not be good.

Chen Feng, who was sitting on the podium, did not speak, nor did he express his opinion.

He actually didn't want Xingfengmen to be involved in this fight, but he had already asked Xiao Ling about it before.

It is almost impossible to stay out of it.

Although the combat effectiveness of the monks from the outer seas is generally not high, their numbers are large. The monks from the outer seas played a very important role in the war six thousand years ago.

Yanshen Sect and Wangyue City will definitely let the forces from the outer seas take sides.

This can be seen from the arrival of people from Tianji Tower in the open sea.

Tianji Tower was commissioned by Yanshen Sect to win over overseas forces. In fact, it is more accurate to say that it is an order rather than winning over.

Xiao Ling waited until the discussion in the room died down a lot before continuing:
"My idea is to stand on the side of Wangyue City. Wangyue City has the most affiliated forces and is open to all parties. It does not exclude foreign cultivators. Yanshen Sect is an ancient sect with strict rules and regulations, and it never takes us in the outer sea seriously."

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Master Kongyou immediately said:
"Old Ghost Xiao, don't talk so high-soundingly. You chose Moon City only because your friends are there. In terms of strength alone, can Moon City compare to Yanshen Sect?" "Yanshen Sect has been passed down since ancient times. There are countless ancient secret arts in the sect, especially in the spiritual aspect. The cultivators of Yanshen Sect are almost invincible in the same realm. You asked us to choose Moon City. Aren't you asking us to die?"

True Lord Kongyou obviously does not want to choose Wangyue City, Yanshen Sect is his best choice.

Xiao Ling said in a cold voice: "Do you think that choosing Yanshen Sect will lead to a good ending? Will they treat us cultivators from the outer sea as human beings? They will make our people cannon fodder at the first opportunity!"

“We Yuanying and Jindan disciples are naturally fine, but what about the low-level disciples of the sect? Or do you, Kongyou, only care about yourself?”

Xiao Ling immediately started arguing with Master Kongyou.

The immortal cultivators in the field also started discussing at the same time, and for a while they all had their own opinions.

Chen Feng shook his head immediately after seeing this scene.

He finally understood why the monks in the outer sea did not have a united front six thousand years ago.

I'm afraid a similar scene happened six thousand years ago, but no unified conclusion was reached in the end.

Even if he agreed to choose a side at that time, when the real war came, he would probably choose someone else.

Cultivators are all driven by profit, and what they promised on the day may be forgotten the day after tomorrow.

Just as everyone was arguing, the formation above the entire Emerald Island suddenly activated.

This sudden change caused everyone's face to change instantly.

This strange formation clearly shows that someone is attacking the Emerald Island.

"Senior Xiao, I've long heard that you have profound attainments in the art of formations. Your reputation is well-deserved." A voice sounded in the audience.

Then three beams of light flew to the square of the hall, and two men and one woman appeared on the scene.

Everyone in the field looked at these three people.

These three people have the cultivation level of Golden Core, but they all look very young.

These three people have a common feature, that is, there is a star mark between their eyebrows.

Not only that, the robes of the three people are of the same style, with black and white as the main colors, and there are yin and yang fish embroidery on the chest.

Seeing these three people, Xiao Ling and Zhenjun Kongyou stood up at the same time.

"People from Yanshen Sect?" Xiao Ling stared at the three of them.

The formation on Emerald Island is a fourth-level formation, and it is impossible for a Jindan cultivator to enter.

But the fact that these three people came in was enough to show that their methods were extraordinary.

Xiao Ling had stayed in the Inner Sea in his early years, so he was the first to recognize that the clothes worn by the three people were the unique costumes of the Yanshen Sect.

The handsome man wearing a jade crown in the lead bowed slightly:
"I am Yan Huayang, an inner sect disciple of the Yanshen Sect. Nice to meet Senior Xiao and Senior Kong You."

Yan Huayang greeted them, but the man and woman next to him did not make any movement. Their expressions remained calm from beginning to end.

Generally speaking, in the world of immortal cultivation, low-level cultivators have to show respect when they see high-level cultivators, but as disciples of Yanshen Sect, they don’t have to do so.

A Nascent Soul is nothing to their Yanshen Sect.

"What do you three mean? You are trying to break into my Emerald Island formation, are you trying to fight with me?" Xiao Ling's face looked very unhappy.

Yan Huayang smiled and said, "Don't blame me, Senior Xiao. My junior sister has just cultivated the Great Evolution Divine Art to the third level. Seeing that Senior Xiao's formation is very exquisite, she couldn't help but give it a try."

Although Yan Huayang was apologizing, his expression did not show any sign of lowering his posture.

As for the sister next to him who had broken the formation, she had a completely expressionless expression and obviously had no intention of explaining.

At this time, Master Kongyou took the initiative to step forward with a smile:

"I didn't expect to meet three young descendants of Yanshen Sect today. I wonder if Elder Gu is doing well?"

Compared to Xiao Ling's ugly expression, Master Kongyou was very enthusiastic.

Yan Huayang was surprised and asked, "Senior Kong You knows Elder Gu?"

Master Kongyou nodded and said, "I know him. I once explored the demon tribe's heartland with Elder Gu in the early years. But I haven't seen him for hundreds of years and I don't know how he is doing now."

Yan Huayang immediately said, "Elder Gu is now an inner sect elder of our Yanshen Sect and has already entered the Nascent Soul Great Perfection realm."

Yan Huayang immediately started communicating with Master Kongyou and completely ignored Xiao Ling.

Chen Feng, who was standing on the high platform, looked at the three people with calm expressions, but he was thinking in his heart.

Yanshenzong, he was naturally very familiar with him.

The soul-controlling technique he obtained came from Yanshen Sect, but it was only a fragment.

But even if it is only a fragment, this spell is of great help to Chen Feng.

Now we have finally met the people from Yanshen Sect, which also means that they may have the complete contents of soul control technique.

Once he acquires complete soul-controlling skills, his control over the modern world will inevitably increase again.

"But how can we obtain the soul-controlling technique from them?"

Chen Feng fell into deep thought. A transaction was unlikely. This kind of magic must be the secret technique of Yanshen Sect.

Then there is only one way left, which is to rob.

While Chen Feng was thinking, Yan Huayang also finished chatting with Zhenjun Kongyou, and the two had a very relaxed conversation.

Yan Huayang looked at everyone in the field and said:
"Everyone, I came to the outer sea on behalf of Yanshen Sect this time to recruit you to join us in dealing with Wangyue City. My sect can promise that anyone who makes contributions in this war will be rewarded. Both spirit stones and treasures are rare in the outer sea. Even the Infant Condensation Spirit Object will appear on the list of war merits to be exchanged this time!"

As soon as Yan Huayang said this, many people in the field began to breathe rapidly.

Especially the leaders of some third-level major forces clenched their fists. Most of these people had reached the great perfection of the golden elixir and had been trapped in the golden elixir for who knows how many years.

If you can get a spiritual item that can condense the infant, then there will be hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

Looking at the changes in everyone's expressions, Yan Huayang smiled.

This time he came with a mission from the sect. Although the cultivators in the outer sea are generally not at a high level, the cultivators here are very good at fighting.

There are always ruthless people in remote areas, and this also applies to cultivators.

As long as they can win over these forces in the outer sea, when their Yanshen Sect fights with Wangyue City, the monks of these forces will be their best cannon fodder.

The leader of Liuli Sect spoke up at this time: "I, Liuli Sect, will listen to what Senior Xiao and Sect Master Chen mean."

The leader of Liuli Sect was the first to express his opinion, and the rest of the people remained silent. They all looked at Xiao Ling and Chen Feng, who was sitting on the podium without saying a word.

At this time, Yan Huayang noticed Chen Feng sitting on the podium.

He had actually discovered it at the beginning.

There are only three people who can sit on the high platform in the entire hall, and these three people also represent the top forces in the outer sea.

There is no need to talk about Xiao Ling and Zhenjun Kongyou. These two are Nascent Soul cultivators and are naturally qualified to sit on the high platform.

But Chen Feng, who was sitting on the left, only had the Golden Core cultivation level, which surprised Yan Huayang. (End of this chapter)
