Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

In the twenty-second year of the Sea Clan War, the young master of Yixing Tower finally couldn't sit still any longer. The people of both the Zhaixing Hall and Cangxing Pavilion had connections with the Guanxing Palace, helping them fight the Sea Clan, which greatly reduced the pressure on his forces.

[If this continues, with one side gaining at the expense of the other, the Star Gazing Hall will suffer heavy losses, but the Star Picking Hall and the Star Storage Pavilion will also largely preserve their strength.]

At that time, Yi Xing Lou would inevitably become the weakest of the three forces.

[The young master of Yixing Tower proactively contacted his second spiritual body, promising not only to cease his attacks on Luo Yan but also to offer numerous resources and benefits, thus beginning his own competition for the assistance of the Star Gazing Hall.]

In the same year, due to the members of the Star Gazing Hall being dispatched to various battles, the spiritual bodies of the hall's powerful members suffered heavy losses, with more than half of them losing their physical avatars in the war.

The disciples inside the Star Gazing Hall were very dissatisfied with this and even considered quitting.

[The second spiritual body sensed the anomaly and immediately changed its method of assistance, offering a massive bounty in exchange for the essence of heaven and earth gathered by the Spirit Gathering Array, hiring powerful individuals from outside the Heavenly Mystery Hall to confront the sea race.]

This strategy allowed the disciples of the Star Gazing Hall to recover and gradually stop complaining.

[In the twenty-fourth year of the Sea Clan War, the Sea Clan launched a major offensive, and a superior True Spirit race officially joined the war.]

At the same time, the Five Elements Sect disciples stationed in the Crimson Sea, Shadow Sea, Wind Sea, and Heavenly Gate Sea suffered heavy casualties and were repeatedly defeated by the sea race.

[In this war, the four halls of the General Affairs Department encountered a direct confrontation with a superior True Spirit race for the first time, resulting in significant losses for the members of the Heavenly Mystery Hall.]

Time continued to pass, and the humans and sea creatures clashed repeatedly, resulting in increasing losses on both sides.

Gradually, the Star-Picking Hall and the Star-Hidden Pavilion, which had initially retained a significant amount of strength, suffered relatively lighter losses in this war.

The situation continues to evolve, and the invasion of the sea creatures persists, but the number of surviving disciples in the Yi Xing Lou and Guan Xing Dian halls lags far behind that of the other two halls.

The power struggle between the Star-Picking Hall and the Star-Hidden Pavilion is beginning to unfold throughout the General Affairs Hall.

As time goes by, the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker; this is an eternal truth.

[In the twenty-eighth year of the Sea Clan War, the second spirit sensed the opportune moment and made its move once more.]

He instructed Fox Twenty-Four and True Man Xuanguang to spread rumors within the Heavenly Mystery Hall, discussing who among the two young hall masters of the Star-Picking Tower and the Star-Hiding Pavilion would ultimately win the position of young hall master.

Countless disciples within the Heavenly Mystery Hall were influenced and began discussing the power struggles between the four young hall masters.

The situation quickly escalated.

[At this point, the previous internal balance was completely shattered, and the General Affairs Hall split into two factions.]

One faction is led by the Star-Picking Hall, with the Star-Gazing Hall providing support; the other faction is led by the Star-Hidden Pavilion, with the Star-Eating Tower actively seeking cooperation.

The scene in the void gradually changed, with two cyan figures watching intently as the future course of the war unfolded.

This is a corner of fate, and it may not be the true reality, but as long as there is no interference beyond the power of Luo Yan and the other two, this is reality!
"How is it, the real body?"

"Is my plan feasible?"

The second spirit body spoke proudly, and as the entire chess game was revealed, the light of wisdom in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

The second spirit body is, after all, a smart person, and possesses all of Luo Yan's original thoughts and memories. As long as he calms down, he shouldn't have much trouble resolving a crisis.

In terms of strategic planning, he believed he was no less capable than the original!
"Your game of chess is quite interesting."

"Ruthless, cold-blooded, and shameless."

"You're treating our disciples in the General Affairs Hall like insects, then using the sea race to slowly erode them."

"The best course of action is to kill the insects on this peach tree."

Luo Yan raised his teacup to toast himself, and the solemn look on his face lessened.

Although the process of creating a second spiritual body was somewhat dangerous, it successfully transformed him from a thorn in the side of the Three Saints of the Star Evolution into one of them.

Furthermore, it disrupted the internal balance of the Three Saints of the Star Derivation.

If this continues to evolve, the conflict between Zhaixing Hall and Cangxing Pavilion will intensify dramatically, and the young master of Yixing Tower will also become dissatisfied, as his power has been greatly weakened and he is no longer qualified to compete with these two halls.

The young master of Yixing Tower, who should have been on equal footing, actually lost most of his forces to the sea tribe in this war.

How could he accept such an ending?

The idea of ​​a second spirit body is good. It involves entering the game with one's own body, then taking sides, which in turn breaks the balance between the three saints of the Star Evolution.

Once the power of these three parties is no longer equal, the so-called balance becomes a joke.

Will the other two young masters refrain from taking action against the one from Yixing Tower?
It's impossible!

This is human nature!
"The game is good, but have you noticed the problems within it?" Luo Yan asked.

As expected, the higher one's cultivation level, the more one prefers to use strategic planning rather than simple forceful suppression.

Because in many cases, since everyone belongs to the same sect, large-scale death battles are simply impossible.

Otherwise, it would just be adding fuel to the fire for other powers.

Therefore, appropriate suppression, and more suppression, is the true method of great sectarian struggle!
The smile on the second spirit body's face faded. It took a deep look at the main body before replying, "The main body refers to the Supreme Elders behind the Three Saints of the Star Evolution?"

Luo Yan nodded, acknowledging this.

Inside the General Affairs Hall, those who chose to side with the Three Saints of Yanxing included not only ordinary disciples but also Supreme Elders from various halls.

That is, those old immortals whose cultivation level is at the Integration Realm or even higher.

They are the true source of confidence for the Three Saints of the Star Evolution.

The second spirit thought for a moment and then said, "Although this war among the sea races does not involve battles between Venerable Realm cultivators for the time being, those old guys are not saints."

"They must have descendants, right? And disciples and grand-disciples, right?"

"I don't believe they wouldn't have their own people in the General Affairs Department!"

This is a very realistic situation; those who can hold high positions are not easy to associate with.

Behind them, there must be many complex and hidden relationships.

Especially those Supreme Elders in the Heavenly Mystery Hall, who have existed in the sect for thousands of years and have stayed in the General Affairs Hall for such a long time, would they not arrange for some of their own people to join the General Affairs Hall?
The outcome is obvious without even thinking about it.

If someone dares to dig deeper into these relationships, they will surely uncover a long list of master-disciple or family connections.

The number of disciples in the entire General Affairs Hall may decrease by one-fifth!

After all, there are quite a few disciples who can enter the Heavenly Mystery Hall based on their own talent.

But more often, it was relatives or friends who, relying on the influence of their parents' connections, joined the Heavenly Mystery Hall through cunning means. Luo Yan discovered this when he gave the group of Star Gazing Hall disciples a hard time.

However, that group was clever; they let the brutes from the four demons and monsters jump out to cause him trouble, while they themselves hid behind the scenes to watch the show.

The second spirit body sneered, "There's a saying that goes, 'If you beat the younger one, you'll naturally bring out the older one, thus exacerbating the conflict between them.'"

"By then, even the smartest among them will have no choice but to stop."

"As long as the balance between the three saints of speech and action is broken, and the various forces form a standoff, the pressure on us will be greatly reduced, and we will disappear from the surface of the water and become less conspicuous."

“Even if those three guys are wary of us, the sea race forces will not be merciful. They are here to destroy the Five Elements Sect.”

"Once we get bogged down in a deep war of attrition, Yi Xing Lou, who didn't get our help at the beginning, will inevitably have fewer and fewer pieces in his hand over time."

"At that point, he will only have two choices: either ask the old man behind him for help, or watch his entire group of disciples disappear."

"I believe that our young master of Yixing Tower will not let us down."

The second spirit seemed very confident about this, which is human nature.

As long as the young master of Yixing Tower still harbors the ambition to become the young master of the General Affairs Hall, he will certainly not sit idly by and watch his pawns be eliminated one by one by the sea tribe.

It was to be expected that a stronger force would be called upon.

With the old man at the Venerable Realm stepping in to save the day, the Sea Clan will inevitably follow suit.

At this point, the war began to escalate in full force!
This is the second spirit's plan for the peach tree to bloom, which involves a series of steps including watering, fertilizing, and pest control.

Even if the three Saints of Yanxing don't die, the power behind them will be weakened to the greatest extent.

This entire game of chess will take at least a hundred years, or even longer.

The second spiritual body and the original body will also have ample time to grow and develop.

Only when the peach trees blossomed and bore fruit did they have the opportunity to pick the peaches.
At this moment, his second spirit body was cold and ruthless, revealing his truest self hidden beneath his rationality.

Using the lives of the disciples of the Star Gazing Hall as pawns, they stirred up the three halls of Star Picking Hall, Star Hidden Pavilion, and Star Playing Tower, causing a great chaotic battle to break out among them.

At this point, the lives of his fellow disciples were nothing more than a number in the eyes of the second spirit body.

Even if it costs him most of the members of the Star Gazing Hall, he would not hesitate!

This is a classic case of trading human lives for time, thereby ensuring the safe growth of the main body.
"You've finally figured it out! This time, you're not actually planning to rush forward and charge in yourself?"

Luo Yan chuckled and teased the second spirit body.

If the second spiritual body had used its brain more when facing Leng Zijin, it wouldn't have been driven to the brink of despair, nearly dying several times.

However, Luo Yan also understood that true strongmen value fair battles the most.

Because this can greatly test one's strength, subject one to the trials of life and death, and thus lead to transformation.

This is an invincible path to glory, and only the young geniuses of great sects and religions will abide by these rules.

Unfortunately, the second spirit body encountered an opponent who liked to use his brain and was ruthless.

It was that battle of magic that completely awakened the second spiritual body, revealing that not everyone can calmly face life and death.

As long as it's in their own interest, they'd be willing to ask their elders for help.

"Am I as bad as you think?" The second spirit's eyebrow twitched.

"So, what do you think of my plan, Main Body?" the second spirit asked again, seeking Main Body's approval.

Luo Yan pondered for a moment, not giving an answer immediately, but instead standing up gently and carefully considering the drawbacks of the matter.

For the plan to create a second spiritual body to proceed, two conditions must be met: first, absolute control over the disciples of the Star Gazing Hall; and second, possession of vast resources.

Luo Yan had long ago improved the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array, enabling him to draw upon and transform the essence of the five elements from heaven and earth.

If he wants to hire a large number of powerful outsiders to replace the disciples of the Star Gazing Hall, his secret method of transforming the essence of the five elements will inevitably be leaked in some way.

Because the number of Tianji Hall disciples gathered in Fenghai, Yinghai, and Tianmenhai is nearly 100,000.

To fundamentally tilt such a massive quantity, the amount of the Five Elements essence required would inevitably be unimaginably large.

At that time, it would be only natural to seek the help of the forces in the inner sea to help transform the essence of the five elements.

The leak of the secret technique wouldn't be a big deal, since Luo Yan himself doesn't have high needs for resources. What he's worried about is that the old man with white eyebrows will intervene.

Because if the plan of the second spirit body is carried out, the fate of the four halls of the General Affairs Department being severely damaged is inevitable.

Even the old guys in the hall couldn't stay out of it; they were dragged into this battle, which seemed to be a war between different races but was actually an internal power struggle within the General Affairs Hall.

Once the struggle between the Three Saints of Yanxing escalates into a full-blown conflict, many of the old men behind them will inevitably perish.

This would affect the very foundation of the General Affairs Department's existence.

When that time comes, will the White-Browed Palace Master really sit idly by?

Luo Yan pondered, feeling somewhat hesitant.

Logically speaking, a cultivator should be free from desires and wants, follow their heart's desires, go with the flow, and wholeheartedly pursue the Great Dao.

In reality, such cultivators are extremely rare, and they also have a special name for themselves.

Ascetic!
The reason there are so few is that people could survive on meager food, so why do so many people still go after delicacies?
Can't coarse chaff and wild vegetables fill our stomachs?
Or is it that coarse bran and wild vegetables lack nutrition, and one cannot survive after eating them?

That's definitely not it!

Just like matters of the heart, the reason why a love tribulation is a love tribulation lies in that specific, special person.

She was not just any woman.

If it were someone else, the emotional ordeal might have turned into lust.
After all, who you're with really makes a difference.

Similarly, the same applies to figures like the Lord of the White-Browed Palace.

No matter how high his cultivation level is or how strong his strength is, he is first and foremost a human being!

Since one is an individual, one cannot escape the instinct to live in a group. (End of Chapter)
