I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 708: The war begins, two women fight (4k, please subscribe)

While Wei Tu was sensing Chongyan's Dharma intention.

Five years later, the Jishan Sect, which had prepared for war, took the lead in starting the war under the leadership of Sect Master Zhu and other senior leaders, and invaded the territory under the jurisdiction of Xiaohuan Palace.

Although the purpose of this battle was to destroy the sect, Sect Leader Zhu and others were smart and did not reveal this purpose in advance.

At the beginning, this war was only defined as a small invasion, and it was announced to the outside world that it was launched by Venerable Wei in order to avenge his fellow Taoists.

The six sects of Xuan Dao did not know that Wei Tu's realm had already reached the peak of the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so when they first heard this, they just thought that this was a continuation of the conflict between the two sects in the past, and that the Jishan Sect had no choice but to support Wei Tu, the Spirit Transformation Realm Master.

——The pressure of supporting one Divine Transformation Master and supporting two Divine Transformation Masters is naturally different.

The Jishan Sect, which has two gods in the world, should naturally have a larger territory.

This is the fundamental contradiction within the Jishan Sect, and it needs to be resolved through external expansion.

Xiao Huan Gong was the first to be operated on. Although he was unlucky, he was not innocent.

Therefore, the "Six Sects of Xuan Dao" who were aware of this purpose, except for the "Youshen Sect", an ally of Xiaohuan Palace, which sent troops to help Xiaohuan Palace fight, the other sects turned a deaf ear to this and watched the fight from behind the wall.

Of course, the help from the Phantom God Cult was also very limited, and it seemed more like they were helping out in order not to violate the alliance agreement.

It was even rumored that the founder of the Youshen Cult, the "Ghost Woman", had personally written a letter to persuade Master Tong to swallow his anger for the time being, cede land and make amends so that he could get peace.

"Hold your anger for a while? The more you hold back, the angrier you'll get. This Wei guy first killed my beloved disciple, and now he's starting a war. He's bullying me because there's no one in my Little Huan Palace, and he's bullying me into not fighting to the death!"

Inside the Xiaohuan Palace, Venerable Tong held the battle report from the front line in his hand, his face livid, and shouted at the cultivators in the hall.

After hearing this, a monk standing in the front row lowered his head timidly like a quail, fearing that Master Tong would notice him.

But unfortunately, as the "culprit" who provoked Wei Tu, how could Venerable Tong ignore him?

"Xiao Si, this time the defense battle against Jishan Sect will be led by you. You must defend the territory well. If you are defeated and retreat... don't blame me for being ruthless."

Venerable Tong had a grim expression on his face. After taking a deep look at "Dugu Tian", he spoke calmly.

The words fell.

All the practitioners present felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the early stages of the war between the two factions, the Jishan faction, as the invading party, will do everything they can to capture cities and territories, so the early defensive mission is undoubtedly a tough chore and almost impossible to succeed.

However, Dugu Tian's realm is only the late Nascent Soul stage. Going to garrison this time will almost mean he will end up as cannon fodder and die.

If it were another time, they might have felt pity for this junior or senior brother, but at this moment, in addition to being grateful, they also felt a sense of pleasure.

The reason is very simple. If Dugu Tian, ​​Luqiu Qingfeng's "fiancé", had not been so stubborn, the matter between Xiaohuan Palace and Luqiu clan would have been resolved amicably long ago. It would not have become as tense as it was later, and they would not have become mortal enemies.

Even though the biggest culprit here was Venerable Tong, if he had not ordered the killing of the cultivators of Luqiu Yeming's lineage for the sake of his dignity... Xiaohuan Palace and the Luqiu clan still have a very friendly relationship to this day.

But even if they were given ten thousand guts, they would not dare to blame the crime on Master Tong.

Xu Wansun is now dead.

Therefore, Dugu Tian was the only one left to take the blame.

"Disciple...disciple obeys your command."

Dugu Tian looked slightly frustrated and took the order in a trembling voice.

No one knows a teacher better than his disciple. He knew Master Tong's plan. Although on the surface he was very tough towards Jishan Sect, in fact, he had already retreated and wanted to keep things quiet.

The reason for making him complete this almost impossible task was not only to "punish" him, but the bigger reason was probably to sacrifice him in order to win the "sympathy" of the other six sects of Xuan Dao and place hope on "mediation among all sects".

Mediation among various factions is indeed a good way to stop the war for the Xiaohuan Palace, which is temporarily in a weak position.

However, this time, he was the one who sacrificed.

"Master, please give me the "God-Seeking Pill" to help me. Otherwise, with my strength, it will be difficult for me to maintain the front-line war and defend the land."

Thinking of this, Dugu Tian no longer hesitated. He immediately bowed and said through gritted teeth.

He is the Nascent Soul ancestor, not a clay puppet or a puppet toy. If Venerable Tong is unwilling to give him even a chance to live, he would rather die in the hall than move to the battlefield.

"Can!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Tong was not surprised and nodded slightly, as if he had expected this.

After he finished speaking, Venerable Tong snapped his fingers and a white jade pill bottle flew out from his fingertips and landed in front of Dugu Tian.

"Thank you, Master."

After taking a look at the white jade pill bottle in front of him, Dugu Tian thanked him, opened the pill bottle without thinking, tilted his head back and swallowed the pill inside.

After a while, his magic power surged, and he broke through directly from the "late Nascent Soul" stage to the "quasi-godhood" stage.

However, the cultivators in Xiaohuan Palace who saw this scene did not show much envy on their faces.

There is no other reason. Although Wangshen Pill can help cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage to break through and reach the quasi-godhood realm, this pill is not a good medicine, but an "evil medicine" that forces growth and consumes potential.

Look to God, look to God, but he is out of reach.

From then on, Dugu Tian’s potential was exhausted and it would be difficult for him to break through to the state of transformation in his lifetime.

Although breaking through to the God Transformation stage is a very distant thing for them, having a slim hope and having no hope at all are two completely different things.

……

It was just a small-scale conflict, and it was far from the time for the Divine Master to take action.

In January, after the war broke out.

Wei Tu came out of seclusion and called Luqiu Qingfeng, and discussed an important matter with this woman face to face.

Although it was quite difficult for him to speak of this matter, after thinking for a moment, he still spoke it fluently.

"Before I achieved the state of Divine Transformation, I once had a Taoist companion. I did not hide this from the princess, so the princess should know about it."

Hearing this, although Luqiu Qingfeng was slightly shocked and thought to himself that it had finally come, there was no sign of surprise on his face, and he still had that dignified demeanor.

"I heard Wei Lang mention this matter before."

Luqiu Qingfeng responded with a smile.

Even though Wei Tu had never mentioned this matter, she could guess the truth based on Wei Tu's past.

In a word, among the high-ranking cultivators who rose from humble backgrounds, there are very few who have never been married.

Compared to cultivators like her who come from immortal families, the cultivation path of cultivators from poor families is far less stable. They may fail at any time or die halfway.

Therefore, for cultivators from aristocratic families, things like getting married and having children still require some fuss, but for cultivators from poor families, it has become a necessary option in life.

Continuing the lineage is also a way for many people who are unwilling to end their immortal path here to continue their spiritual path.

Therefore, she would not be surprised even if Wei Tu had children, let alone a wife.

Furthermore——

She married Wei Tu as a "marriage of superiority", and there was no room for bargaining with Wei Tu.

Now, Wei Tu, the God of Transformation, was willing to tell her this matter on an equal footing, which was a great respect for her.

Not to mention, Wei Tu had already mentioned this a hundred years ago. "And... I am special here in Wei Lang."

At this time, Luqiu Qingfeng couldn't help but think of the "blood sacrifice quota" that Wei Tu had fought for her at the high-level meeting.

This action alone proves her special position in Wei Tu's heart.

"In that case... I will leave the sect right now and bring her to see you."

Seeing that Lvqiu Qingfeng agreed, Wei Tu nodded, and after saying this, he ended the topic.

Leave everything to time.

He did not expect the two women to live in peace, but as long as Luqiu Qingfeng did not go too far, he would turn a blind eye.

But if things go against his wishes, then he...is not a good guy either.

a few days later.

Wei Tu returned to the clan safely and brought Madam Jin and Wang Sutai with him.

After meeting Luqiu Qingfeng, Mrs. Jin and her daughter Wang Sutai thought of themselves as younger and lived in the separate courtyard of the cave, acting humble and submissive.

When Luqiu Qingfeng saw Wang Sutai, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

"If this wife is Madam Jin, I still need to be careful, because this woman is very cunning. But this Wang Sutai is not worth mentioning. It will be difficult for her to break through the level of transformation into a spirit in her lifetime."

Luqiu Qingfeng commented secretly in his heart.

She could see that Wei Tu did not have deep feelings for Wang Sutai and had little interest in her. Part of the conversation between the two even required Mrs. Jin to take the initiative to guide it.

Apart from this relationship, Wang Sutai's qualifications, foundation and strength are far from comparable to hers.

Although her spiritual aptitude was considered good in the world of immortal cultivation, that was before the Nascent Soul stage. After the Nascent Soul stage, it was only slightly better than an ordinary Nascent Soul, and was not at all comparable to her, a "pure-blooded descendant" of a true spiritual family.

As time goes by, she believes that Wang Sutai will be further and further away from Wei Tu, while she will be closer and closer to Wei Tu.

……

Seeing that the two women lived in peace and no conflicts occurred, Wei Tu was relieved and returned to the retreat room to comprehend the meaning of Chongyan Dharma with the help of the "Chenyan Talisman".

But the peace didn’t last long.

A few months later.

Mrs. Jin and Wang Sutai took the initiative to meet him.

"What? You plan to go to the battlefield between Jishan Sect and Xiaohuan Palace to train on the battlefield?"

Hearing this, Wei Tu was surprised.

As far as he knew, although Wang Sutai was a demon cultivator, as a second-generation immortal, he had very little experience in fighting against people of the same level.

"Although battlefield training is dangerous, it is also the fastest way to grow. With my husband's prestige, I won't be in too much danger..."

Wang Sutai lowered his head and stammered.

After hearing this, Wei Tu was stunned at first, and then gradually he understood what Wang Sutai, or Madam Jin and her daughter were thinking.

A few years ago, he took a step back to advance and asked for his wife to be dismissed, which made him take the initiative to acknowledge his identity as the principal wife to the outside world.

Now, he is naturally not satisfied, being kept in the Huashen Cave and treated as just a canary.

Now, he has taken the initiative to join the war. With his knowledge, it is not difficult for him to see the corresponding purpose.

First, she publicized her status as the principal wife and gained recognition from everyone in the Jishan Sect.

Secondly, he could cash in on his title as the Taoist companion of the Venerable Master Huashen and get more resource support.

These are Wang Sutai’s “struggles”!
This woman's mind was not so short-sighted as to seek his favor and exclude Luqiu Qingfeng. Instead, she used this method to fight with Luqiu Qingfeng in an upright manner.

"It's a very smart and correct approach. I just don't know if it's just Su Tai's idea..."

Wei Tu looked relieved, but sighed in his heart.

He didn't mind Wang Sutai "fighting" and "grabbing" in this way, but if this was just Mrs. Jin's opinion, it would inevitably seem a little pathetic.

Even though Mrs. Jin, her biological mother, might have just meant well, in his opinion, Wang Sutai was a bit like a "puppet" without any opinions of her own.

"Wei agrees to this matter."

After a moment, Wei Tu's frown relaxed a little and he nodded slowly.

He is not a stingy person towards his relatives. Even if Wang Sutai does not go to the battlefield to train, he will provide him with all the resources to break through to the quasi-god level in the future.

But he could do nothing to help Mrs. Jin.

Funding two "quasi-gods" was a great pressure for him.

Therefore, in his opinion, Mrs. Jin's move was more like using Wang Sutai's name to plan for her own benefit.

However, distance does not separate close relatives.

Wang Sutai herself needs to slowly comprehend and grow in this regard.

It is true that parents love their children, and it is also true that most people do not expect anything in return, but if there is a high return to be expected, I am afraid that few people would not be tempted and would not make calculations.

The words fell.

Mrs. Jin, who was standing next to Wang Sutai, felt slightly happy.

However, before she could be too happy, she heard Wei Tu's next sentence and her face froze.

"For safety reasons, Su Tai will bring your father-in-law along for this training and let him help you out."

Wei Tu flipped his palm, took out the life card of the Red Dragon Ancestor, and handed it to Wang Sutai.

The life card was only one of the many ways he controlled the Red Dragon Ancestor. In his soul, there were still various restrictions he had set.

As long as the Red Dragon Ancestor does not break through the state of transformation into a god, these restrictions will be difficult to resolve in his lifetime.

And with the presence of the Red Dragon Ancestor, who was restraining Madam Jin, he believed that it would be difficult for Madam Jin to cause any big trouble.

When it comes to hatred towards Madam Jin, her husband, Patriarch Red Dragon, ranks first, and he wishes to extract her soul and refine her spirit.

"really……"

When taking out the Red Dragon Ancestor's life card, Wei Tu also secretly paid attention to Madam Jin. Although she controlled her expression very well, he still saw the faint gloom on her face.

But he didn't say much about it.

Even though Mrs. Jin plotted against Wang Sutai's daughter, she valued daughters the most, so everything she did was beneficial to Wang Sutai. No matter what, she would not harm Wang Sutai's life.

"With my father's help, this battlefield training will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort."

Wang Sutai didn't think too much about it. After seeing Wei Tu transfer the soul tablet of the Red Dragon Ancestor to her, a look of great joy immediately appeared on her face.

Seeing Wang Sutai's expression, the cold face of the Red Dragon Patriarch also revealed a rare hint of warmth.

He raised his eyes, glanced at Mrs. Jin, snorted coldly, and then stroked Wang Sutai's hair affectionately.
