Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

"Oh? Elder Huang Tian? That's certainly a frightening title."

"Unfortunately, it can't scare me!"

Yan Longyu's eyelids twitched, and then a sinister look reappeared on his face. Throughout the entire Five Elements Sect, there were not many people who were qualified for him to be called a senior elder.

Huang Tianzun was undoubtedly one of them.

This is a true old monster at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, a terrifying existence that has lived for at least nearly ten thousand years. Such an old guy has probably survived most of the tribulations of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.

They may not be invincible in the world, but the world is so vast that they can go anywhere.

Even if Yan Longyu is arrogant, she must be extremely respectful when facing such an elder.

With a difference of a whole realm, it shouldn't take more than three moves to destroy Yan Longyu's Dao body.

However, Yan Longyu was not afraid of this. He had offended many people in the Heavenly Mystery Hall, and adding another Elder Huangtian would still be of no consequence.

If a senior figure of Elder Huangtian's caliber dared to openly attack him, the forces behind Yan Longyu would certainly not let it go.

Thus, witnessed by all the island lords of Tianmen Sea, Yan Longyu once again made her move, gently crushing the body of this young man with an astonishing background.

The next moment, the stench of blood in the hall intensified.

This is Yan Longyu's determination: as long as someone dares to stand in his way, he dares to slash them with his sword.

The disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Hall lineage are best at fighting.

"Don't you want to talk yet?"

Yan Longyu stood before an island lord, her entire body radiating dazzling light, exuding an oppressive aura.

He paused slightly, staring intently into the island lord's eyes, trying to find the answer he sought.

Unfortunately, although the other party was terrified and trembling, he still showed no intention of confessing.

Seeing that she hadn't heard the answer she wanted, Yanlong Yu didn't hesitate and casually crushed the man's body.

With a 'poof' sound, it exploded in the crowd like a blood-red firework.

All the island lords of the Tianmen Sea lineage were terrified. Many of them looked horrified and some wanted to flee the place, but the spiritual ropes binding them kept them firmly in place.

They wanted to retreat, they wanted to struggle, but they simply couldn't.

They could only watch helplessly as that person walked up to them and crushed one figure after another.

At this moment, Yanlongyu was like an invincible demon god, and with every step he took, he would reap the life of a Tianmen Island lord.

Such behavior terrified all the cultivators present.

*Pfft!* *Pfft!* *Pfft!*

Yan Longyu continued forward, crushing one magical body after another. His Taoist robe was stained with blood, and his entire body was covered in blood.

The dripping blood brought an overwhelming sense of dread to the remaining Tianmen Island lords.

At this moment, Yanlongyu was like a bloodthirsty butcher, an executioner, expressionless, relentlessly slaughtering chickens and sheep.

No amount of killing or screaming could disturb his mind.

None of the island lords of Tianmen Island present were not afraid.

As Yanlongyu was engrossed in the slaughter, a streak of light broke through the palace barrier and appeared out of thin air.

"Lord Yanlong is truly impressive. The young master of Yixing Tower is actually personally attacking a group of juniors."

"Junior Brother Yanlong, you have overstepped your bounds!"

A stream of light manifested on the ground, from which emerged a dignified middle-aged man. His appearance stopped Yan Longyu's continued slaughter.

With a casual wave of his hand, the spiritual ropes binding the island lord of Tianmen Island loosened.

"Since he broke the sect rules first, he shall not leave today. He shall stay and be buried with the Tianmenhai disciples who died."

Then, several more streaks of light flew in from outside and landed in the hall.

'Tap!' 'Tap!' 'Tap!'
Footsteps echoed, and the people who appeared were all surrounded by a mysterious glow, their skin crystal clear and radiant, as dazzling as crystal.

Their appearance immediately diluted the bloody atmosphere in the main hall, and the island lord of the Tianmen Sea lineage also showed a look of ecstasy.

Their saviors have finally appeared!

The Supreme Elder of the Tianmenhai lineage appeared and surrounded Yanlongyu, creating a somber and heavy atmosphere in the hall.

At this moment, the powerful aura within the main hall was intense, causing both fear and trepidation.

At this moment, it was as if endless muffled thunder was silently rumbling, causing the island lords of Tianmen Sea to change color and their ecstatic faces to freeze for a moment.

"Brother Wuxiang, Junior Brother Xuanxiao, Senior Brother Xuelian."

"You still couldn't resist showing yourselves." Yan Longyu's gaze swept across, and the bloodstains on her body disappeared in a flash of light.

He straightened his robes, as if he had been waiting specifically for these people to appear.

"Yanlong, you slaughtered the disciples of my Tianmenhai lineage without cause, openly bullied the weak, and disregarded the rules of the sect. You are courting death."

"If you don't give us an explanation, today will be your death day!"

A supreme elder shouted, and one after another innate divine talismans shot out from all directions, sticking to the void, carrying a penetratingly cold feeling, and killing intent suddenly arose.

The young master of Yixing Tower is too unruly, openly bullying the weak. This kind of behavior should not be encouraged.

The powerful figures on the field exchanged glances instinctively, a hint of coldness flashing in their eyes. Tianmen Hai's face could not be humiliated!
Even if he is from the Heavenly Secrets Hall, it doesn't matter!
"A fight is about to break out."

Some island lords felt the spiritual chains binding them loosening subtly and instinctively retreated towards the palace entrance.

Their faces turned pale, shocked by the oppressive aura emanating from the main hall.

A group of Supreme Elders at the Integration Realm confronted each other here, and the surging, powerful pressure foreshadowed that this place was about to be plunged into a great battle.

If they are implicated, they will inevitably face death.

With so many top-tier experts locked in a stalemate, even the island lord of Tianmen Sea, just by standing there, exuded a heavy pressure comparable to a mountain.

"Hahaha, you think you can take me down with your lot?"

"That's a dream!" Yan Longyu's eyes also blazed with intense light, revealing a terrifying aura that froze everything around her.

Faced with the attack, he was not afraid at all, but rather seemed to be in complete control.

Because the disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Hall are most adept at growing stronger through battle.
Does having more people make you superior?

“I can demolish this dilapidated temple anytime I want.”

"You think you're worthy to block my path?" Yan Longyu laughed, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes, and an aura of imposing authority emanating from her.

Despite being alone, he showed no fear of the combined attack of several Nascent Soul Realm experts. The invincible reputation of the Heavenly Mystery Hall disciples among their peers was not just empty words.

That was a genuine, hard-earned, and unparalleled reputation!
Even after reaching the Integration Realm, this gap in strength will become smaller and smaller.

Because every cultivator who can reach this stage is an exceptional individual, a genius among geniuses.

But Yan Longyu still had enough confidence to withstand the attacks of several powerful enemies of the same level and completely tear open the cage in front of her.

He dared not say how many enemies he could kill, but at least he could retreat unscathed without suffering any losses himself.

With his life no longer in danger, Yan Longyu was naturally fearless. His anger was completely ignited, and he shouted loudly:
"When you were attacked at sea, my Heavenly Mystery Hall immediately led its disciples to your aid, helping your Heavenly Gate Sea lineage to fight against the sea race."

"The results of it?"

"The sea race is powerful, so we try every means to obtain the essence of the five elements and hire powerful outsiders to alleviate the pressure on the battlefield."

"But you, instead of helping, are plotting to embezzle from your own position and undermine our resources."

"When have you, a bunch of vermin, ever thought about the future of Shadow Sea, or the future of my Five Elements Sect?"

This was a cry for help, and also a raging outburst of anger, which silenced the Supreme Elder of the Tianmenhai lineage.

They could feel the fury, as bright as a beacon in the darkness.

However, as powerful members of the Tianmenhai lineage, their positions differ, their interests differ, and their views naturally differ as well.

The Unseen Daoist's eyebrows shot up, and he shouted, "Only you, Yi Xing Lou, are acting for the greater good, for the Heavenly Mystery Hall, and even more so for the Five Elements Sect!"

"Does that mean my Tianmenhai lineage is not a member of the sect?"

The Blood Lotus Daoist beside him was also annoyed by this and couldn't help but speak up:

"Brother Yanlong, you seem to think too highly of yourself and the Yixing Tower?"

"You are full of enthusiasm and good intentions, and it is true that you are considering Tianmenhai."

"But have you ever thought that my Tianmen Sea is adjacent to the Red Sea, Shadow Sea, and Wind Sea, and is also bordered by the Myriad Star Sea?"

"This invasion by the sea race was like a sharp knife, cutting the vast Tianmen Sea territory into several pieces, forcing us to shrink our sphere of influence as much as possible."

"Once this war ends, the outer territories will be vacant. Do you think other major powers will take the opportunity to invade and occupy them?"

"If Tianmenhai does not seek opportunities to grow stronger and wait for a chance to counterattack and reclaim its lost territory."

"Are we just going to let the people from Shadow Sea, Wind Sea, Crimson Sea, and Myriad Star Sea take over our territory after the racial war ends?"

This is not impossible, but very likely!
The twelve major Mahayana lineages of the Five Elements School appear to be harmonious with each other, sharing the same origin and lineage.

Apart from the Tianji Hall lineage, the relationships between the other Mahayana main lineages are not actually very harmonious.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the seven main forces within the inner sea of ​​the Myriad Stars Sea, which belong to the older generation of Mahayana ancestors and grew in strength relatively early.

This is why they were able to occupy a dominant position in the inner sea of ​​Wanxinghai.

The four main lineage ancestors of the outer sea, being limited by their later attainment of enlightenment, could only expand their territories within the boundless sea.

But who was the Mahayana Patriarch?

Such beings rarely concern themselves with worldly affairs; the division of territories and islands is arranged and executed by their subordinate forces.

In this way, whoever has more territory or less territory will have to compete and develop it themselves.

While the power structure within the Wanxinghai Inner Sea is stable, its advantage lies in its safety, as it is almost never attacked by sea creatures.

However, this is also their limitation.

Because the territory of the inland sea is fixed, the islands that can be built and the resources for nurturing spiritual creatures are limited.

Conversely, while the open sea may be more dangerous, it also means greater potential profits.

As long as you dare to fight, kill, and rob, and are not afraid of casualties, the endless sea is a hunting ground.

Therefore, in the eyes of the island lord of the Tianmen Sea lineage, rather than spending huge resources to hire strong people from outside to participate in the war, it would be better to digest it ourselves, collect the essence of the five elements, and use it to cultivate the strong people of the Tianmen Sea lineage.

After all, the Heavenly Mystery Palace is responsible for resisting and suppressing the king beasts of the sea race, so the Tianmen Sea lineage only needs to deal with ordinary demon kings.

Given this, what's wrong with them extracting a portion of the essence of the five elements to cultivate their own power?

It's just that more low-level cultivators and more disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Hall died.

But what does that have to do with them?

Whether it's the four main branches of the outer sea or the seven major forces of the inner sea, the reason why they hand over a portion of their profits to the sect and support the hundreds of thousands of powerful members of your Heavenly Mystery Hall lineage is precisely to prepare for this moment.
If foreign enemies invade, the experts of your Heavenly Mystery Hall should be the first to step forward and stop those foreign experts.

You, Yixinglou, have sensed the pressure from the Sea Clan. That is an internal problem of your Tianji Palace, not a problem of my Tianmen Sea lineage!

"They dare?"

"My Five Elements Sect has many branches, who dares to violate the sect rules and encroach on the territory of your Tianmen Sea lineage?" Yan Longyu said angrily, her eyes immediately bulging.

Upon hearing this, a senior elder scoffed and said:

“Other Mahayana lineages will not encroach on the territory of my Tianmenhai lineage.”

"But isn't the situation special now?"

"In order to preserve our strength to the greatest extent, our Tianmenhai lineage has no choice but to concentrate all our forces and retreat to these mere 20,000 islands."

"In that case, wouldn't those former territories now be ownerless?"

"Otherwise, what do you think is the reason why the group in the inner sea of ​​Wanxinghai has promised to come to the aid of the outer sea but has not moved for so long?"

This explanation somewhat quelled the anger in Yanlongyu's heart.

Could those forces in the inner sea of ​​Wanxinghai be opportunists taking advantage of the chaos?

He was skeptical, but also somewhat convinced, because those parasites dared to openly practice demonic techniques, let alone try to seize the territory of their fellow disciples.
"Is the power dynamics within our sect really this chaotic?"

"This doesn't seem like a single sect at all; it's more like an alliance of many sects gathered together."

"These cultivators in the sect have not only failed to achieve enlightenment and transcendence, but have instead been further confined by worldly desires."

In the Red Sea Seclusion Room, when the second spirit body witnessed this conversation, they all subconsciously uttered sighs.

Although the Five Elements Sect is very large, the various Mahayana main lineage forces within it are like small countries, each operating independently and fighting their own battles.

Such a super power is less like a sect and more like an alliance of interests.

You do your thing, I'll do mine.

You develop yours, I'll develop mine. (End of Chapter)
