Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After some time,
Inside a grand palace in Seafall City, which was Pei Zhenhao’s residence, he faced Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, serving them spiritual tea.
With a somewhat helpless expression, he asked, “Do you two think I shouldn’t have let Yu Hunzi go?”
Jiang Chengxuan shook his head with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Pei, don’t worry about it. We were just helping out, and the decision was yours to make.
However, we are indeed curious about Shadowless Demon Lord. What’s his story that even you seem so wary of him?”
Pei Zhenhao’s expression turned serious when Shadowless Demon Lord was mentioned.
He pondered for a moment before explaining, “You might not be aware, but Shadowless Demon Lord is one of the longest-living Nascent Soul Perfected Lord of the Celestial Soul Sect.
As far as I know, his age is nearing two thousand years.”
“Two thousand years?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were visibly surprised.
They knew that the lifespan limit for a Nascent Soul Perfected Lord was two thousand years.
Now that Shadowless Demon Lord had actually lived for two thousand years, didn’t that mean that he was about to reach the end of his lifespan?
As if reading their thoughts, Pei Zhenhao could not help but sigh.
” Do you think that Shadowless DemonLordisclosetotheendofhislifespan?”
“Isn’t that the case?”
Shen Ruyan asked curiously.
“That’s not wrong to think that way.”
Pei Zhenhao admitted with another bitter smile.
He continued, “But the issue is, in his early years, Shadowless Demon Lord consumed a Longevity Spiritual Apricot, extending his lifespan to three thousand years.
However, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was this person’s cultivation. It was said that when he was 1,500 years old, he had already reached the eighth level of Nascent Soul.
Now that 500 years have passed, none of us can be sure if this person’s cultivation has already reached the peak of Nascent Soul.
If so, even with the resources of our East Sea Sect, we can’t afford to openly confront him.”
“I see.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan now understood the gravity of the situation.
Indeed.
A sect with a peak Nascent Soul Perfected Lord was completely different from a sect without a peak Nascent Soul Perfected Lord.
Everyone knew that there was a huge gap in strength between the early-stage Nascent Soul and the late-stage Nascent Soul.
However, very few people knew that after the late-stage Nascent Soul, there was also an incomparably huge gap between each level.
Especially those at the peak of NascentSoul, they could easily suppress cultivators at the seventh or eighth level.
No wonder Pei Zhenhao was so unconfident when facing Shadowless Demon Lord.
If he really offended the other party today, then one day in the future, he might very well die in the other party’s hands.
Even if he had the support of the East Sea Sect, it was useless.
Unless there was also a cultivator at the peak of Nascent Soul in the East Sea Sect.
However, judging from Pei Zhenhao’s reaction just now, there was obviously no such existence in the East Sea Sect.
Next, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan took the opportunity to ask some other questions.
Pei Zhenhao patiently answered them one by one.
Just like that.
About half a month later.
Pei Zhenhao found Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan and told them that the Dao Discussion Conference was about to begin.
If there was nothing else, they could set off now.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had no objections.
At that moment, the three of them left Seafall City together and headed towards Daylight City, where the Dao Conference was held.
When the three of them arrived at the venue of the Dao Discussion Conference in Daylight City, they realized that many Nascent Soul cultivators had already gathered here.
Among them were several late-stage Nascent Soul = = cultivators.
However, what truly caught the attention of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan was the unexpected presence of an old acquaintance they hadn’t seen in a long time.
And that person was shockingly Huang Wenyu, who had disappeared from the Nine Essences cultivation world and accidentally entered this Astral Origin cultivation world.
He was Huang Ling’er’s father.
At this moment, his cultivation had already reached the fifth level of Nascent Soul.
He was talking to a few Nascent Soul cultivators he was familiar with.
Huang Wenyu could not help but turn his head, as if he sensed someone looking at him.
Once glance, and he was left stunned.
He even wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him.
He actually saw the two of them here.
“Brother Huang, what’s wrong?”
At this moment, a refined man beside him who was conversing with him could not help but speak in confusion.
Following his gaze, the refined man saw Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Pei Zhenhao.
“Mm? Why? Brother Huang, you know Fellow Daoist Pei from the East Sea Sect?”
The refined man subconsciously thought that Huang Wenyu was looking at Pei Zhenhao, who was next to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
After all, the refined man did not know Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan. He had never seen them participating in such an event.
It was normal for such a misunderstanding to happen.
