Cultivation: Being Immortal

Chapter 250:

Zhongzhou, Spiritual Moon Sect

At this time, the gate of Spiritual Moon Sect rang with intense bells. Countless disciples trembled in fear as they hid outside the protective formation of the gate, watching the troops of Shenmu Sect.

"Everyone, remain calm. Don’t panic."

Xu Mingyue, a powerful Tao Achiever from Spiritual Moon Sect, angrily scolded, looking at these disciples with a deeply resentful heart.

"Mingyue, don’t worry, the other sects have agreed to negotiate with us, and Shenmu Sect won’t completely destroy our Spiritual Moon Sect. If we give up some benefits, they will withdraw their troops."

A handsome man next to Xu Mingyue said. This person is Xu Mingyue’s husband, and he is also a high-ranking member of the Spiritual Moon Sect.

"I know, I hate how these people are so weak. They always fight among themselves when things are not serious, but now that we have an external enemy, they become cowardly. Our sect’s resources are wasted."

Xu Mingyue said. Before me, the Spiritual Moon Sect only had female disciples, no male disciples. It was under my leadership that we started accepting male disciples because I saw the shortcomings of our Sect.

The female disciples are too weak when it comes to real battles. Although not all of them, about seventy to eighty percent are. They may be good at scheming and plotting, but when it comes to actual fighting, most of them are cowards.

"Let’s take it step by step. Balancing yin and yang is the right path. Being too yin or too yang won’t work. Besides, the Spiritual Moon Sect is not lacking skilled warriors."

"Forget about it, let’s focus on guarding the sect first."

Xu Mingyue nodded. If every member of the Spiritual Moon Sect was not good at fighting, they wouldn’t have reached their current status. They can only progress gradually.

At the same time, outside the entrance of the Spiritual Moon Sect, two Tao Achieving Ancestors from the Shenmu Sect have also appeared. Although the Spiritual Moon Sect as a whole is not known for its fighting skills, their Xu Mingyue is famous for bringing the Spiritual Moon Sect from a third-rate sect in Zhongzhou to a first-rate sect. She is not an ordinary person.

"Yú, I have received many requests from other sects, what about you?"

"Same here, Xu Mingyue has been arranging marriages for our female disciples, and now they’re coming to seek favors."

"So, what do you think we should do, Yú? Shenmu Sect can’t afford to offend all the major sects."

"I understand. Right now, Shenmu Sect has lost its reputation and support. We should fight back and regain both."

The Tao Achieving cultivator from Shenmu Sect spoke. Xiao Lingyue’s elopement has brought disgrace and loss to Shenmu Sect. That’s why they’re angry and planning to fight back to regain their reputation and support.

"Then, let the other two armies plunder first and take advantage, and then force Xu Mingyue to negotiate peace, apologize and compensate."

"Okay."

"I will go and prepare, launch the attack in one hour."

"Alright, I’ll keep an eye on Xu Mingyue. She’s not to be underestimated."

The Tao Achieving cultivator from Shenmu Sect nodded. Shenmu Sect is launching an attack on Spiritual Moon Sect with three routes. They are the main force, while the other two routes are attacking other areas of Spiritual Moon Sect.

After discussing, the two of them went to prepare. One hour later, Shenmu Sect formed their formation and launched an attack on the gate of Spiritual Moon Sect. The two sides immediately started fighting.

Although Spiritual Moon Sect is not good at overall combat, they are skilled in defensive battles, especially with their gate formation. With the guidance of their higher-ups, led by Xu Mingyue, they defended solidly.

Shenmu Sect, gate

Under the divine tree, Lin Batian was practicing magic. He has been here for nearly five years. During the first three years, he observed the influence of the Green Emperor magic left by Shenmu Ancestor and gained some insights. After that, he started practicing it himself.

However, only after personally practicing did he realize that these four secret techniques are difficult to master. At the moment, he has not achieved proficiency yet, and he doesn’t know how many years it will take to succeed.

Fortunately, the Eternal Spirit Liquid provided by Shenmu Ancestor has restored his body. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the lifespan to continue enduring.

"Look carefully, Brother Lu, it is indeed Lin Batian."

In the clouds outside the mountain gate, Yu family’s Ancestor spoke to Lu Family Ancestor. There was a shining light in his brow, a special Magical Eye that could overcome barriers of enchantments. He had already seen what Lin Batian was doing.

"Is Lin Batian practicing the secret arts of the four major families?"

"Yes, I see him performing the Three Heads and Six Arms technique. He already has two heads and four arms. He’s almost there."

"This youngster indeed has great ambition. He wants to learn the Green Emperor’s technique and merge it with the four secret arts."

"Yes, if he succeeds, all four families will suffer. Even with Void Achieving cultivation, he will have the combat strength of Tao Achieving."

Yu family’s Ancestor nodded. In the past, the Green Emperor dominated the cultivation world and even the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan couldn’t stop him. He relied on these four secret arts, combined into one. They knew very well how powerful it was.

"Brother Yu, where do you think Lin Batian obtained these secret arts? The four major families restrict them to only those who have undergone Soul Changing. Even if Lin family gave him the Slaying God Spear in advance, what about our own secret arts?"

"The secret arts of the four major families are shared by the higher-ups. If Lin family can give him the Slaying God Spear, they can give him the other three as well. It’s not surprising at all."

"I always feel like it’s not that simple. There must be something we overlooked."

"Brother Lu is worrying too much. Even if Tao Achieving of the Lin family is alive, they may not be our opponents. We should focus on killing Lin Batian first and not give him a chance."

"Alright, it’s a pity that Shenmu Ancestor is biased, otherwise we wouldn’t need to do this."

The Lu Family Ancestor nodded. They already knew that Lin Batian wouldn’t last long in a battle against them using the Burning Life Secret Method. But who knew Shenmu Ancestor would favor the Lin family so much?

"Let’s do it."

After discussing their plan, they both acted simultaneously. The Lu Family Ancestor instantly threw something that exploded on the protective formation at the entrance of the Shenmu Sect. A hole appeared in the formation and they both went inside.

Then, the Lu Family Ancestor attacked Shenmu Ancestor, while the Yu Family’s Ancestor went after Lin Batian.

"How daring!"

When the protective formation was broken, Shenmu Ancestor reacted quickly. A giant eye opened in the midst of a massive tree, followed by countless falling leaves.

Seemingly ordinary leaves made both ancestral figures change their expressions. They switched from attacking to defending and set up defenses in front of them. Then, those leaves suddenly changed in appearance and exploded like bombs in front of them.

"Three heads and six arms."

"Ever-changing."

Both ancestral figures instantly transformed into dharma bodies and engaged in battle. Shenmu Ancestor also broke off a branch from the divine tree and transformed it into a similar dharma body for combat.

"Kid from the Lin family, climb up the tree."

"Shenmu Ancestor, can you handle it?"

"Maybe not outside, but here, even two more won’t be a problem."

Shenmu Ancestor roared loudly, expressing his confidence. He believed that it was impossible for Tao Achieving to kill him here. Otherwise, all his efforts over the past tens of thousands of years would have been in vain.

"Heavenly Extreme Spirit Fire."

Lu Family Ancestor sneered, and suddenly countless spirit fires surged out from within his dharma body, rushing towards Shenmu Ancestor.

The Shenmu Ancestor’s eyes narrowed and muttered under his breath, "This little bunny is well-prepared, huh?"

But he remained fearless, his dharma body continued forward, enduring the terrifying spiritual fire attack from Lu Family Ancestor. In no time, his entire dharma body was engulfed in flames, yet the Shenmu Ancestor paid no attention.

Yu family’s Ancestor, on the other hand, bypassed the Shenmu Ancestor and headed towards Lin Batian. Lin Batian flew upwards, not engaging in a fight with Yu family’s Ancestor. He had no intention of fighting, as he didn’t need to give his all on Shenmu Sect’s territory.

The true form of the Shenmu Ancestor was an extremely massive divine tree. Its trunk stood straight, which was originally just one trunk within ten thousand meters. But now, branches began appearing from all directions. These branches were like agile serpents, swiftly attacking Yu family’s Ancestor, blocking his path.

These branches may not be very powerful, but their sheer numbers were overwhelming. They could wipe out a heap of them and there would still be more. Meanwhile, Lin Batian had already vanished without a trace.

"Elder Ancestor"

The powerful guardians of the Shenmu Sect were also alarmed. Void Achieving experts came to investigate and recognized the identities of the two individuals. They were furious that all four major families had come knocking at their door, it was simply too much to bear.

"Activate the mountain guarding formation, not a single one of them shall escape today."

"Call for their return and surround and kill them today."

Shenmu Ancestor also immediately said, the Tao Achieving practitioners of the four major families are truly extraordinary and incredibly powerful. Unless he uses his true form, it will be difficult to defeat them. However, he won’t resort to his true form unless absolutely necessary.

Because his true form is the foundation of Shenmu Sect, if he uses it, it will have a huge impact on Shenmu Sect. Shenmu Sect has Tao Achieving cultivators of its own, but it’s not time for him to go all out yet.

"Big Brother Yu, let’s retreat. The surprise attack has failed."

The Lu Family ancestor saw the body of the Shenmu Sect burn up, but a branch fell and the Shenmu ancestor regained his fighting power. He knew that this mission had failed, so he had to leave. If he didn’t leave now, they wouldn’t be able to escape.
