Dan Ding Sect.

Green Cloud Peak.

At the time when the news of the Sect War and its unexpected developments reached the Dan Ding Sect, Liang Sheng was still in closed-door cultivation, completely unaware of the situation.

Originally, Liang Sheng had planned to pretend to be in closed-door cultivation for a while, then come out as a Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator, perfectly displaying his identity as a genius who achieved Foundation Establishment before the age of one hundred.

However, even the best-laid plans are subject to accidents. After immersing himself in his cultivation this time, Liang Sheng felt that he was on the verge of a breakthrough.

It was not that his Primordial Mysterious Technique was about to make another breakthrough, but rather that his Lifespan Cultivation Technique had unknowingly reached the edge of a breakthrough.

At this moment, it had only been 143 years since his last breakthrough in the Lifespan Cultivation Technique, and even he hadn’t expected to reach the next realm so quickly this time.

Could it be due to the fact that he was practicing the Hunyuan Xuan Gong, which had turned him into a cultivator in the ancient cultivation Qi Refining Realm?

There is an ancient cultivation saying: the Way of Heaven eliminates the excess and supplements the deficient, while the Way of Man eliminates the deficient and supplements the excess.

Since his actual realm is the ancient cultivation Qi Refining Stage, could it be that this also corresponds with the Lifespan Cultivation Technique’s principles, thus resulting in such effects?

At this time, Liang Sheng could not determine it, but regardless, this was good news.

It was for this reason that he devoted himself entirely to the practice of the Lifespan Cultivation Technique, temporarily disregarding the situation outside.

He had confidence in the Dan Ding Sect’s approach to dealing with the world – as long as there was no special reason, the Dan Ding Sect would be as stable as Mount Tai.

As Liang Sheng entered a state of complete cultivation, the leader of the Dan Ding Sect, Dandingzi, felt a mix of dread and disbelief at this moment.

Shortly after Liang Sheng’s closed-door cultivation began, the Sect War took a sudden turn: the death of Chenyangzi, the Sect Master of Upper Green Sect, and its implications were all too clear to Dandingzi.

Putting aside other factors, just after Chenyangzi’s death, the other sects supporting the Upper Green Sect now had only two choices.

First, they could watch idly as the Hua Tian Sect swallowed the Upper Green Sect, then see the Hua Tian Sect dominate the Three Sects and Six Orders.

Second, they could disregard any consequences and openly resist, completely severing ties with the Hua Tian Sect and leaving no room for reconciliation.

After all, once Chenyangzi died, the Upper Green Sect was left without a leader, rendering them incapable of resisting the Hua Tian Sect at this point.

Therefore, if the other sects did not step forward at this time, only the first outcome mentioned earlier would come to pass, with no other possibilities.

However, Dandingzi was still somewhat stunned by the circumstances of Chenyangzi’s death – when the other sects and orders received the news, none of them knew how Chenyangzi had actually died.

Even the people of the Hua Tian Sect didn’t know how Chenyangzi died, so they specifically sent people to investigate whether it was a smokescreen set up by the Upper Green Sect to deceive them.

However, the news brought back by the scouts led to the final conclusion that Chenyangzi had indeed died.

At this moment, Chenyangzi’s body was lying in the Upper Green Sect Master Hall, and the strangest thing was that there were no injuries on his body, and no sounds had been heard at the scene when he died.

Chenyangzi’s Life Token, which was kept in the Upper Green Sect, had also been completely shattered, leaving no doubt about his death.

However, the fact that the Hua Tian Sect didn’t believe Chenyangzi’s death at first led them to miss the best opportunity to seize the Upper Green Sect, as at this time, the other Sect Masters who had received the news had personally gone to the Upper Green Sect to pay their respects.

It was precisely because they were there that the Hua Tian Sect could not directly use force for the time being, and even the upper echelons of the Hua Tian Sect were wondering how Chenyangzi had died.

The other sects, unaware of the Hua Tian Sect’s situation, were waiting at the Upper Green Sect for the Hua Tian Sect’s next move.

As such, when Dandingzi heard the news earlier, he had guessed at the difficult choices the other sects would face.

After paying their respects, they sat together to discuss whether to let the Hua Tian Sect absorb the Upper Green Sect, or to openly declare their position, unite together, and prevent the Hua Tian Sect from dominating.

However, the Hua Tian Sect had not taken any action up until now, causing the standoff between the sects to calm down in a strange manner, but the atmosphere became even more tense.

Even the leaders of the other sects and orders didn’t dare to separate themselves. Though they were Nascent Soul Masters, how could they be at ease given the mysterious circumstances of Chenyangzi’s death?

Being able to silence a Nascent Soul Master without making a sound before dying was truly astonishing – did the Hua Tian Sect really possess such abilities?

It was previously said that Chenyangzi was injured when defending against the Hua Tian Sect, but it should not have been fatal – it was simply too inconceivable!

Although the Hua Tian Sect was still suspicious of Chenyangzi’s death, the end results meant that it was all good news one way or another.

Since the Sect Master of the Upper Green Sect was already dead, it was the perfect time for the Hua Tian Sect to swallow the Upper Green Sect.

As for how Chenyangzi died, a future detailed investigation would not hurt. Thus, as the Hua Tian Sect began to mobilize, the other sects reacted.

Did they really intend to go to war with the Hua Tian Sect at this time? For a short while, even they did not have an answer, for they weren’t prepared yet.

So someone suggested that they first calm down and give them some time to think.

The only person who could temporarily hold back the Hua Tian Sect from attacking was someone who had not been involved in the matter and had not been tainted by any benefits..
