Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 512: Chapter 469 Outer Sea Cultivators_1

Outer Sea

Conch Island

Within an otherwise ordinary pavilion, all the nascent soul powerhouses of the Outer Sea have now gathered.

“I warned against forming this alliance. Now we’re all sitting ducks, waiting to die!”

The speaker was a bald dwarf carrying a sword box, known by the moniker of Sword Offering Boot Boy.

“If you ask me, we might as well disband! When the Sea Race slaughters enough people, they will naturally leave! Persistent resistance is meaningless; we are no match for them!”

A girl, appearing pinkish, petite, and sweet, spoke cheerfully.

The girl is called Li Ji, also known as The Shapeshifting True Lord. However, more people privately call her the “Tailor”. But the “fabric” she uses to make clothes isn’t silk or hemp, but skin – not animal hide, but genuine human skin.

Besides those two, there were five others present; among them, sitting at the top, was Lu Jingkong, who had already broken through the late stage of Nascent Soul, looking gallant and spirited.

Seated to his left was a middle-aged couple; the man was slightly dark-skinned and burly, projecting an impression of steadiness and restraint.

The woman had a slender figure, voluptuous as water, her peach blossom eyes shone with a faint purple light, as if they could snatch away one’s soul.

On Lu Jingkong’s right sat a youth and an old man.

The youth’s hair veiled his face, revealing only his paper-white skin. Dressed in a black long robe, he emitted a chilling aura.

The old man had white hair, with wrinkles covering his face. He was hunched over as if he was an old peasant sitting at the village head, soon to be an old pile of wood. He didn’t wear a Taoist robe; instead, he was wrapped in various cloth strips, which made him look extremely odd.

Moreover, a thick smell of corpses constantly emitted from him, making the green-haired woman with a sharp chin sitting next to him keep frowning, glaring, and revealing a face full of disgust.

“What are your thoughts, friend Xiao?”

Lu Jingkong slightly turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man on his left, asking calmly.

The man’s name was Xiao Ke, also known as True Monarch Treading Waves, a Nascent Soul middle-stage expert. His reputation was on par with the Blood Demon Ancestor, and he is probably the strongest person present aside from Lu Jingkong.

“I will follow the Alliance Hierarch’s lead!” Treading Waves True Monarch blandly responded.

Lu Jingkong did not respond but turned his gaze to the chilling youth on his right, asking: “What is your opinion, friend Tang?”

The youth was named Tang Ju, also known as True Monarch Ghost Wails. He cultivated the Demonic Dao of soul refining and ghost controlling. Sharing a similar Nascent Soul middle-stage level, his strength was only next to the Treading Waves True Monarch.

“I have no opinion!”

The voice of True Monarch Ghost Wails seemed to be squeezed out from his throat, making the listeners uncomfortable.

Lu Jingkong didn’t press further; this was just his temperament. It was already strenuous for him to utter three words.

He didn’t proceed to ask the others and directly announced, “With your talents, if you had sufficient resources, reaching higher realms would be effortless! However, due to the pressure from the Sea Race and the Cluster Stars Sect, we can’t even talk about obtaining resources. We can’t live in peace!”

Lu Jingkong glanced at everyone, continuing, “You all are far-sighted, which is why you heeded my call and formed this alliance. Our goal is to consolidate our strength, no longer be oppressed from both sides, obtain more cultivation resources, and a better cultivation environment. Now that the Sea Race is invading and the Human Clan of the Inner Sea is indifferent, so long as we work together, we can undoubtedly overcome this crisis. If we disband at the slightest shake, it would not only make us a laughing stock, but it would also be extremely challenging to find such an opportunity again!”

Overcome the crisis together?

Pah!

If it weren’t for your oppressive power, I wouldn’t even attend this bullshit alliance. Isn’t my life equally blissful when I’m safe and at ease on my own?

The Sword Offering Boy muttered to himself, but did not speak aloud.

Lu Jingkong had initially given him a hard time.

Moreover, Lu Jingkong’s strength far exceeded everyone else’s, so there was no way to continue lingering in the Outer Sea if they did not agree.

That’s also why everyone was able to gather here and join this alliance.

But now, they were facing a large force like the Sea Race.

Not only did the Sea Race have Nascent Soul late-stage Great Cultivators, but they also had invincible existences like Divinity Transformation Stage. Whether it was low-end combat power or high-end combat power, they could only be crushed.

The reason for their assault was quite simple: they wanted to prevent them from forming an alliance and weakening the Human Clan’s strength.

Originally, the Sword Offering Boy thought that Lu Jingkong would choose to disband the Outer Sea Alliance opportunistically. However, he never imagined that they were summoned here to resist forcefully.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Wasn’t this like a mantis trying to stop a chariot? A certain death sentence?

“Alliance Hierarch Lu, your statement is tantamount to surrender… Humph! The disparity in power between both sides is too great. If we persist, we’re just seeking death,” the Sword Offering Boy sneered, “The Outer Sea cultivators were able to resist the attack of the Sea Race in the past because the Inner Sea cultivators secretly intervened! Now, they’re reluctant to help because the existence of this alliance is damaging their interests. I say, we might as well disband. As long as the alliance exists, we can’t live in peace!”

“Alliance leader, I don’t disagree with what Daoist Zhong says. Maybe we should give up,” said the Shapeshifting True Lord in a soft, slow voice.

“I often interact with the Sea Race. I know them the best. They will never allow our alliance to continue existing,” said the green-haired, pointed-chin woman, sticking out a long tongue and licking her lips.

The woman was named Bi Yunxi, known as the Snake Eye True Monarch, possessed one-fourth of Sea Race bloodline, and her strength was extraordinary, especially underwater.

“I also think it’s better to expose our sharp edges! Hehe,” said the elderly man draped with a corpse odor, laughing weirdly.

The elderly man was named Chang Li, known as the Old Corpse Sea Demon. He practiced corpse refining, and it was said that he had several flying corpses that could rival the Nascent Soul Stage, capable of fighting undefeated against the Nascent Soul mid-stage.

The other three didn’t speak, the plump purple-dressed woman, known as the Bewitching True Monarch, was scanning everyone with her seductive eyes, obviously thinking about something.

The woman’s name was Zi Baiyi, known as the Bewitching True Monarch, proficient in illusion and Secret Mental Secret Skills. Although already married, she maintained several secret relationships and would occasionally be involved in fleeting scandals. As for her husband, the Wave Treading True Monarch, he seemed to be completely unconcerned.

“I know what you are all worried about, but since I dared to say this, I naturally have a plan and will not send you to your deaths,” Lu Jingkong said with a smile, “I have already asked a friend for help. When the time comes, as long as you assist from the side, the Sea Race will certainly hesitate to act rashly!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes began to shift.

Lu Jingkong was already a well-known True Monarch in the Nascent Soul Stage. They didn’t believe he was a fool, so it was natural for him to have thought about this beforehand.

However, finding a cultivator who could stand against the Sea Race wouldn’t be easy.

“Alliance leader Lu, it can’t be that Exalted Celestial Monarch who’s quite in demand at the moment, can it?” The Sword Offering Boy clearly looked disdainful.

Ever since they formed an alliance, all resource exchanges were conducted through the Four Seas Immortal Palace, and the true controller of the Four Seas Immortal Palace was Xu Mu. It was easy to guess that the two had a close relationship.

“He just killed an old Nascent Soul mid-stage, nothing special about that. It’s far-fetched to think he has the strength to confront the Sea Race!” The Sword Offering Boy jeered.

The Outer Sea cultivators were different from the Inner Sea cultivators. Each of them had climbed out of a heap of corpses and sea of blood and was confident in their strength. Even if he was only in the initial stage of Nascent Soul, he still looked down on the well-known senior cultivator who had reached the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.

The others also had doubtful expressions. Xu Mu’s displayed strength was indeed good, but it was clearly too much to hope that he alone could confront an entire race.

Even if the entire Four Seas Immortal Palace joined the war, they’d still be the underdogs, not to mention the Cluster Stars Sect would never agree.

“It seems that Daoist friend does not have much faith in my strength. How about we have a little contest first?”

A blue figure suddenly appeared in the center of the room, giving everyone a startle.
