Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 685 - 634: Preaching at the Altar

"Go! Why not go! The Ice Technique Golden Core True Master of the major sect is giving a lecture on Dao and sharing teachings, I’ve lived for two hundred years and have never encountered such a thing. That Old Hu is nothing, daring to compare with me!"

"Old Xu, you’re bad-mouthing me again behind my back!"

A burly man with a knife strapped to his back, full-bearded, hurried over.

"When did I bad-mouth you! Old Hu, your ears aren’t good, don’t twist things out of context."

Old Xu denied flatly.

Immortal Hongling advised, "Old Hu, don’t argue with Old Xu, quickly register to enter the city. Have you gathered all your sponsorship spots?"

The burly man with the knife glared at Old Xu.

Turning to Immortal Hongling, he was all smiles.

"Immortal Hongling, I’ll listen to you and won’t argue with him. I’ve gathered all the sponsorship spots."

Immortal Hongling smiled faintly, saying nothing, carrying an air of gentle charm.

Old Hu couldn’t help but respond with a silly laugh.

Seeing Old Hu’s demeanor, Old Xu felt a surge of anger.

"Alright! Old Hu, hurry up and register. Otherwise, Immortal Hongling and I won’t wait for you and will go on ahead."

"Coming!"

With that, Old Hu rushed forward hurriedly.

The three of them were all ancestors of a Cultivation Clan on the nearby Spirit Island and had known each other for many years.

Though they each pledged allegiance to different sects.

Old Xu was from the Beast Emperor Pavilion, Old Hu from the Thousand Mechanism Sect, and Immortal Hongling was with the Golden Sun Sect.

Actually, they were just vassals of the sects, and it was hard to meet the sect’s upper echelons.

Not to mention listening to a Golden Core True Master lecture on Dao and share teachings.

At this time, Old Xu showed a hint of Schadenfreude.

"This Starlight Island has flourished ever since True Master Profound Ice arrived. In just thirty short years, it has developed to this extent. Even compared to the largest Profound Celestial Immortal City in Song Country, it’s not much inferior."

"Do you think the Profound Celestial Sect will reclaim Starlight Island?"

"Alright, say no more. Matters of the Profound Celestial Sect are not for you and me to discuss lightly! Do you have a death wish?"

Immortal Hongling spoke irritably.

This Old Xu, he wasn’t a bad person, just had a habit of gossiping.

The older he got, the more he enjoyed private discussions.

A flicker of anticipation flashed in Immortal Hongling’s eyes.

"Legend has it, when a powerful figure lectures on Dao and shares teachings, providing insights into cultivation, it can resonate with Heaven and Earth. If there is a lucky cultivator, they might suddenly gain enlightenment, break through bottlenecks, and elevate their Realm Cultivation, leading to a smooth path of Dao in the future, progressing by leaps and bounds. I just wonder, what will our fortune be this time?"

"Don’t worry, Immortal Hongling. Never mind Old Xu, he’s long had his path severed. But you and I, we are sure to have good fortune and gain some enlightenment."

Old Hu said nonchalantly.

"Ah, let’s hope so."

Immortal Hongling said with a smile.

After registration, the three entered the island side by side.

They didn’t head to Starlight Immortal City; instead, they directly walked toward the main peak, where the Purple Yunting Tree was.

More and more Foundation Establishment Cultivators like them came to listen to the lecture.

When they reached the summit of the main peak.

Many cultivators had already arrived early, and the place was bustling with people.

Cultivators from all directions, whether from the island or from afar, gathered here early.

They followed the Law Enforcement Team’s guidance, being seated according to their identity and Realm.

Amidst the plaza, heads bobbed, and murmurs couldn’t be stopped.

Everyone frequently glanced at the high platform shrouded in soft purple divine light, awaiting the arrival of True Master Profound Ice.

Immortal Hongling and the other two, following a Law Enforcement Team member, just reached their seats.

At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed.

Then, as if contagious, more and more people exclaimed, like a continuous tidal wave.

Immortal Hongling and the other two raised their heads, their expressions instantly freezing, simultaneously displaying shock and disbelief.

In front, the purple spirit mist gradually dissipated.

The Purple Yunting Tree, towering over a hundred zhang, with gnarled and robust limbs.

Yet, there was an indescribable and unique sensation faintly arising.

The Purple Yunting Tree emitted countless rays of purple divine light, gentle and spiritual, rippling like water, enveloping the space within a hundred miles.

The cultivators that came to listen to the lecture were all bathed in this purple divine light, their minds clear, their magical power flowing smoothly, feeling almost ethereal and relaxed.

What amazed them even more was that the Purple Yunting Tree became exceedingly lively, its branches and leaves moving on their own without wind, swaying with an enigmatic and natural rhythm, guiding the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to ebb and flow like tides.

A strong yet gentle Spiritual Pressure gradually spread, involuntarily inspiring reverence in their hearts.

"Hiss!"

Old Xu inhaled sharply.

"Is this..."

He glanced at Immortal Hongling and Old Hu beside him, lowering his voice.

"You two, has this Purple Yunting Tree developed spiritual intelligence?"

Old Hu squinted at the Purple Yunting Tree, his face full of admiration.

"For grass and wood to develop spiritual intelligence is extremely difficult. I’ve heard that this sacred tree was transplanted here by True Master Profound Ice thirty years ago. To grow to this extent and have its spiritual intelligence awakened in such a short time."

"This is a Tier Three Upper Grade Grass and Wood Demon. The methods of True Master Profound Ice are truly profound and unfathomable!"

Old Hu, with his connections with the Thousand Mechanism Sect, had keen insights.

Immortal Hongling’s eyes widened, her red lips slightly parted, her heart surging with waves of emotion.

"True Master Profound Ice enlightened the Purple Yunting Tree?"

"So, this lecture on Dao and teachings is not only for the cultivators present but also for this Purple Yunting Tree, which just awakened its spiritual intelligence."

She had seen in an ancient book before.

A highly-skilled cultivator with deep Dao understanding could use their own Dao realm to invoke the Heaven and Earth Laws, assisting living beings in awakening spiritual intelligence.

That True Master Profound Ice could enlighten a Tier Three Upper Grade Purple Yunting Tree.

The depth of his understanding of Daoist Techniques is unimaginable!
