Cultivation: Being Immortal - Chapter 193

Yun State，Five Elements Sect

“Dong, dong, dong…”

When the urgent sound of the bell rang at the entrance of the Five Elements Sect, everyone stopped what they were doing. Most people were just staring blankly, without any reaction.

“Why are you just standing there? Everyone, be on high alert.”

It wasn’t until a Nascent Soul roared that most people reacted. They had been taught at Shanxue School that the bell of the Five Elements Sect never rang easily. Once it did, something huge was happening. And based on the changes in the bell’s sound, it had significant meaning.

Chaos erupted at the entrance of the Five Elements Sect, with disciples running around aimlessly. Many of them collided with each other.

“Withdraw the forbidden airspace formation.”

Someone shouted loudly, more and more people flew up, including Lin Jiang. He rushed to Black Clothes Hall as soon as possible. Black Clothes Hall is located at the core of the inner gate, which should be the safest place.

Many peaks of the Five Elements Sect were shining brightly, and these lights gathered together and formed a shield, covering the entire gate of the Five Elements Sect.

“Please don’t panic, my disciples. I am the Sect Master Qin Quan. Now listen to my command. All golden core disciples, gather the Building foundation and Qi Refining disciples around you and return to the sect’s buildings.

Formation Masters and all disciples of the sect, enter the central hub and nodes of the gate formation. Disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall, send out patrol teams. Those who dare to cause trouble during the chaos will be mercilessly killed…”

Sect Master Qin Quan’s voice quickly spread throughout the gate. With his guidance, the disciples of the Five Elements Sect began to calm down. one by one, golden core disciples appeared, comforting everyone and bringing them together.

At the same time, all Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect ascended into the air. One person took out a treasure mirror, which projected a scene of Anhua City within a light screen.

“Lin Batian”

“He has achieved Soul Changing.”

“Who are the six Soul Changing cultivators?”

Everyone was amazed by the scenery of Anhua City. Lin Batian transformed into Soul Changing without saying a word, and to his surprise, he was being attacked by six other Soul Changing beings.

“Greetings, Ancestor.”

With a cry of astonishment from Zhang Wanjing, everyone noticed that Shi Yuntang was now accompanied by five additional individuals. Three of them were from the Five Elements Sect and were also Soul Changing, while the other two were Jiang Yunchong from the Cloud Sword Sect and Feng Zhang from the Zhonghang Sect, both of whom were Soul Changing Ancestors.

“No need for formalities, let’s watch the battle.”

Shi Yuntang nodded at everyone and continued to watch the screen.

“Lin Batian is fierce and formidable, fighting off six opponents without being defeated.”

“We can’t even come close to that. How did he do it?”

“It’s no surprise coming from that family.”

“Is that girl Lin Batian’s daughter? She’s holding a Sagittarius Bow, isn’t she?”

“Copy, but better than the best magical treasure. Very far, can’t see clearly, don’t know if it has reached a higher level.”

“There are still people in the flying boat, but we don’t know how many.”

Several powerful ancestors were discussing and amazed at Lin Batian’s strength. Just a few decades ago, he was only at the Nascent Soul stage, but in the blink of an eye, he advanced to Soul Changing. For others, advancing is as simple as eating and drinking. When they broke through to Soul Changing, it was like losing half their lives.

“Senior brothers, what should we do?”

“This is their business, not our concern.”

“But we have also seen that thing.”

“Um…”

“Be prepared, Lin Batian is a cunning person.”

Shi Yuntang said, and then looked at Feng Zhang with resentment. If it weren’t for that jerk betraying him, he wouldn’t be in such a passive situation.

Feng Zhang turned his face away and thought, Jiang Yunchong was the one who tricked him first. The three major sects are closely related. It’s not fair that he got tricked. I won’t let you drag my Five Elements Sect down.

Lin Batian and the others probably sensed that a few people were spying on them. In the next moment, he directly announced. Taoist friends from the Yun State’s three sects, we are all people from Yun State. Hurry up and come help.

“Who said we are people from Yun State?”

Jiang Yunchong, outspoken and quick-tempered, immediately shouted from a distance.

“What did you say? I can’t hear you.”

Lin Batian laughed loudly while slowly retreating and getting closer to the Five Elements Sect. With their speed, they could cover hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye.

“Don’t come any closer, Lin Batian, don’t come.”

Shi Yuntang shouted loudly. The territory of the Five Elements Sect was extensive, even the surrounding areas were under their control. If he got closer, the Five Elements Sect would suffer heavy losses.

“Shi Yuntang, help me already! I’m going to be beaten to death.”

Lin Batian was also getting anxious. It was six against one, and now he was covered in blood, not someone else’s blood, but his own.

“It’s none of my business, my dear Taoist friends. Please continue.”

Shi Yuntang shouted loudly, and the distant flying boats all arrived. Who knows how many people are inside?

“Alright, this is what you said. Don’t forget about that jade scroll. I’ll give it to you.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Haha, you all know the biggest secret of the Lin family now, don’t run away.”

“Taoist friend, don’t listen to Lin Batian. We don’t know anything about a jade scroll.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuntang, Feng Zhang, and Jiang Yunchong all became frantic. That darn Lin Batian was truly plotting against them.

However, a flying boat still arrived at the entrance of the Five Elements Sect, and another person who could change souls walked out, asking, “Have you seen the jade scroll?”

“No, don’t say random things, Taoist friend.”

“Express the content of the jade scroll, or I will destroy your entire sect.”

The person who came spoke indifferently, and Shi Yuntang and the other members of the Five Elements Sect fell silent.

“Speak.”

“Lin Batian is talking nonsense. How would I know what you want? If it’s really your treasure, Lin Batian would not easily show it to us. It’s obvious that he wants to drag us down. Taoist friend, don’t be misled by Lin Batian.”

Shi Yuntang said, facing the arrogant attitude of that person, he chose to remain patient.

“Shi Yuntang, are you still a man? He threatened to kill your entire sect, and you still won’t act?”

“Lin Batian, shut up. The Five Elements Sect only wants to protect itself, nothing else.”

Shi Yuntang became very angry. Is this bastard, Lin Batian, thinking that his luck is too good?

“Feng Zhang and Jiang Yunchong also looked.”

Lin Batian felt that it wasn’t lively enough, so he added another sentence, and both of them immediately changed their expressions.

With this news, even the newcomers couldn’t stay calm. Has the Lin family’s top secret become widely known?

Soon, more people came to the flying boat, around ten of them in total. Not all of them were Soul Changing, only three of them. They faced off against Shi Yuntang and the others, and they were communicating using mind transmission, apparently discussing something.

“Qin Quan, follow the plan and take action.”

Shi Yuntang immediately sent a message to Qin Quan. Qin Quan nodded firmly. Soon, countless clouds and mist surged out from the protective formation of the Five Elements Sect, quickly concealing the situation inside the sect’s entrance.

“Junior disciples, the situation at the Five Elements Sect is bad. It might turn into a fight. Please immediately implement the Seed Plan. Each Nascent Soul cultivator should choose one person as a protector and go quickly.”

“Senior brother, what kind of force is this? They are so arrogant.”

“Don’t worry about the specific force. If the Soul Changing Ancestor can’t handle it, neither can we. You have fifteen minutes. Hurry up! I’ll be waiting at the main hall of the mountain gate.”

Qin Quan shook his head, he didn’t know what was going on either. But Soul Changing Ancestor was so nervous, he knew that Five Elements Sect might not be able to win, even if all three sects joined forces.

The group of Nascent Soul quickly left. Zhang Wanjing also ended up in Black Clothes Hall. Lin Jiang and Zhang Shuhua, who were still confused, immediately approached. Their strength was too weak, they had no idea what was happening outside, they could only sense the terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations.

“Master, is it the Lin family?”

“Yes.”

“What should I do?”

“There are already around ten Soul Changings outside, and dozens of Nascent Souls. Even if you go out, what can you do?”

“I…”

Lin Jiang felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He knew that the Lin family was facing a major crisis, but he was helpless.

“No time for useless talk. In the face of a strong enemy, the sect has prepared a contingency plan. They will send away the outstanding disciples. Each Nascent Soul disciple has a selected person. The golden core disciples will leave as Protectors. The two of you, who will go?”

“Junior Brother, go.”

“Senior Brother, go.”

Lin Jiang and Zhang Shuhua spoke almost at the same time.

“Father, let Junior Brother go. I owe him so much favor that I can never repay. If I continue to have this spot, I will never be able to live a proper life.”

“Master, I want to stay and contribute, even if it means death.”

“Xiao Yi, go.”

“Master, you…”

“Listen, go. Take Zhang Wenchen and Zhang Wenxin with you. Also, take the Purple Origin Taoist Fruit from my cave, quickly.”

“I won’t go.”

Lin Jiang shouted that he couldn’t help the Lin family in their crisis, and the Five Elements Sect was going to suffer, and they wanted him to leave, but he didn’t want to leave.

“Xiao Yi, my grandchildren are all in your hands, what else do you want? Do you want me to kneel down and beg you?”

“Master…”

“Over these years, I haven’t taught you much, but this might be the last time I can help you.”

“Junior brother, listen to my father, I entrust my son and daughter to you.”

“I…”

“Shuhua, take him back to the cave and pack up.”

“Okay.”

Zhang Shuhua brought Lin Jiang back to Zhang Wanjing’s cave, and his wife didn’t know what had happened, but she instinctively closed the cave formation because things were chaotic outside.

“Sir, what are we doing?”

“Don’t ask, I just won’t leave. Xiao Yi, you take Zhang Wenxin, I will go find Zhang Wenchen.”

Zhang Shuhua didn’t have time to explain. He quickly put his belongings into a storage bag and then handed Zhang Wenxin to Lin Jiang. They swiftly left.

Lin Jiang regained his calmness and endured the immense pain. He quickly dug out the Purple Origin Taoist Fruit and protected it with a formation before stuffing it into the storage bag.

When Zhang Shuhua returned with Zhang Wenchen, he immediately brought them to the main hall of the mountain gate. Inside the hall, there were hundreds of people, mostly young disciples, and over ten golden core cultivators. The sect leader gathered the golden core cultivators together.

“You may know something about the situation outside the sect. Now, we will execute the Seed Plan. Each of you will receive two storage bags. One bag contains cultivation resources, and the other bag contains advanced techniques of the Five Elements Sect. Each of you will lead twenty people and leave, awaiting further instructions.

If the sect is destroyed, you will find another place to thrive and rebuild the sect. If the sect survives, you will return. Remember, the storage bags are sealed. Only open them if absolutely necessary…”

After Qin Quan explained, without waiting for them to process the information, he activated a formation. In a room behind the main hall, the floor slowly opened, revealing an underground passage.

Everyone entered the tunnel and walked for a while until they saw a building similar to the main hall. In the middle, there was a teleportation array.

“Twenty people in a group, follow your Martial Uncle with a golden core. You all must listen to Martial Uncle’s commands unconditionally, hurry inside.”

Qin Quan had the disciples form teams of twenty people each, and then they entered the teleportation array. With a flash of light, they disappeared.
