Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation - Chapter 305: The Coiling Dragon War
“Nothing else to take?”
Chen Yan stood to the side, watching the young girl packing her belongings in the small courtyard.
“Only these things.”
Si Youyou stood up, patted her palms, then looked at the bundle in front of her as she spoke.
She and Chen Yan had lived in this small town for less than a month in total.
Chen Yan nodded, then stored Si Youyou’s bundle into his storage treasure.
“Let’s go.”
Chen Yan said softly.
“Um… before we leave, can I go buy some green bean cakes one more time?”
Si Youyou looked quite aggrieved, tilting her head up toward Chen Yan’s direction as she asked.
“Mhm.”
Chen Yan replied, casually taking out a few pieces of broken silver, and asked casually:
“Are those green bean cakes that delicious?”
“Actually, they’re pretty average… far worse than the pastries we used to eat back in the sect.”
Si Youyou said. The sect she referred to was naturally the North Pass Sect.
“Then why do you still want to buy them?”
Chen Yan asked.
“Because the old lady selling the green bean cakes really likes me.”
The little girl said, looking quite proud.
“Is that so?”
Chen Yan laughed:
“Come on, I’ll go with you.”
Si Youyou nodded very obediently, then followed Chen Yan out of the small courtyard.
The young girl still remembered the deeply ingrained, wary look the old lady selling green bean cakes had given her the first time she went to town to buy them.
The accents of the residents in this small town also sounded quite obscure and difficult to her ears.
Compared to the cities of various dynasties, this small town located in a corner of the Southern Region was much more insular and unwelcoming to outsiders.
But later, every time she went to buy green bean cakes, that old lady selling them would beam with joy.
Chen Yan stood about ten zhang away from the small stall selling green bean cakes, watching Si Youyou run up to it.
When the old lady selling green bean cakes saw Si Youyou, she revealed a very kind and amiable smile.
Fleeting moments of beauty are the most precious.
Chen Yan thought to himself.
Then, Chen Yan saw Si Youyou slap all the pieces of broken silver he had given her onto the counter of the small stall.
The old lady selling green bean cakes smiled even more broadly, took out a packet of green bean cakes from behind the counter, and handed it to Si Youyou.
Si Youyou, having received the green bean cakes, turned around and ran back toward Chen Yan with a smile.
“…You used all those pieces of broken silver I gave you to buy just one packet of green bean cakes?”
Chen Yan asked.
“What else?”
Si Youyou tilted her little head somewhat blankly.
“Never mind.”
Chen Yan finally understood why, in such an insular town, in less than a month, that so-called old lady selling green bean cakes would come to like Si Youyou so much.
Because the silver was genuine and substantial.
Of course, he wouldn’t bother with that old lady selling green bean cakes. In Chen Yan’s eyes, she was just a mortal.
And regardless of her initial intentions, that old lady selling green bean cakes had indeed allowed Si Youyou to receive “kindness” from others here.
Chen Yan knew very well that kindness was the most beautiful thing in this world full of thorns everywhere.
Whether it was genuine or false.
“Where are we going?”
Si Youyou, walking beside Chen Yan, looked up and asked.
The farther you flee, the better.
This was what Mr. You had once said to him.
Now he had already fled to this remote small town in the Southern Region of the Chenping Continent. If there was a place farther than here…
“Fusheng Island.”
Chen Yan said.
…
Chenping Continent, Northwestern Region, Xuntai Dynasty.
Dongxiong Mountain Range.
This was a majestic mountain range stretching for thousands of li, with its highest peak reaching over three thousand seven hundred zhang, perpetually covered in white snow.
Here, one of the top cultivation sects of the Chenping Continent’s cultivation world was entrenched—the Coiling Dragon Sect.
The current sect leader of the Coiling Dragon Sect was a peak Unity realm cultivator.
Furthermore, within the sect, there were also multiple Myriad Transformations realm elders holding the fort.
And this was the already declined Coiling Dragon Sect.
More than four thousand years ago, the Coiling Dragon Sect had two Divine Ability realm cultivators and seven Unity realm cultivators holding the fort within the sect, firmly occupying the second seat of power in the Northwestern Region of the Chenping Continent for a time.
But this was something the Kongshan Sect would not permit.
As one of the Five Great Sects of the Chenping Continent, the Kongshan Sect could only allow a situation in the Northwestern Region where the Kongshan Sect and other cultivation sects existed. It could not allow a situation where, apart from the Kongshan Sect, the Coiling Dragon Sect and other cultivation sects would emerge in the Northwestern Region.
Thus, under the leadership of the Kongshan Sect’s Supreme Imperial Law Elder Ying Yuanzhong at that time, the Kongshan Sect launched a campaign of conquest against the Coiling Dragon Sect.
The Dongxiong Mountain Range was easy to defend and hard to attack, especially when one of the Divine Ability realm cultivators, together with three Unity realm cultivators, jointly activated the mountain-protecting Coiling Dragon Formation to defend against the enemy. This caused the Kongshan Sect’s losses to be extremely heavy as well.
Even the Kongshan Sect’s Supreme Imperial Law Elder Ying Yuanzhong himself was wounded.
But the Kongshan Sect had no way back. This battle could only end in victory.
In the end, the Kongshan Sect lost three Unity realm Grand Elders, over ten Myriad Transformations realm Offering Elders and Peak Elders in this war against the Coiling Dragon Sect, with cultivators below the Spirit Connection realm being too numerous to count.
And Ying Yuanzhong himself suffered damage to his foundation. A little over a hundred years after this war against the Coiling Dragon Sect ended, he passed away in the Kongshan Imperial Law Court.
Then, Huo Mu ascended to the position of Supreme Imperial Law Elder of the Kongshan Sect, formally taking charge of the Kongshan Imperial Law Court.
As for the Coiling Dragon Sect, its mountain-protecting formation was completely destroyed. Both Divine Ability realm cultivators and all seven Unity realm cultivators, even all the Myriad Transformations realm cultivators within the sect, perished. Its status in the cultivation world of the Chenping Continent directly plummeted to that of a second-rate sect.
Now, after four thousand years of recuperation and rebuilding, the Coiling Dragon Sect had once again become one of the top cultivation sects in the Northwestern Region of the Chenping Continent.
Just a few months ago, the Coiling Dragon Sect was still coexisting peacefully with the Kongshan Sect.
Even the current sect leader of the Coiling Dragon Sect, the Unity realm cultivator Tang Kangsheng, had responded to the call of the Kongshan Sect’s Supreme Martial Pacification Elder He Zongzhou and went to the Fallen Sword Mountain Range to deal with the Great Demon’s Egg.
But with Lu Li’s statement, “The world has long forgotten the might of Ascending to Immortality,” all cultivation sects that had had grievances with the Kongshan Sect in recent millennia would suffer catastrophic destruction.
The Coiling Dragon Sect was one of them.
A blue dragon formed from over a thousand strands of innate true energy weaved through the clouds of the Dongxiong Mountain Range, then suddenly plunged headfirst toward the Coiling Dragon Sect’s main hall below.
Controlling this blue dragon formed from innate true energy was an old man wearing a Bagua Daoist robe, with white hair but a vigorous spirit, wearing the token of the True Dharma Elder of Kongyuan Mountain at his waist.
Yue Chi.
After Yue Chi’s eldest senior brother, Elder Zhong Yin, was transferred from his position as True Dharma Elder of Kongyuan Mountain to Qingchan Peak to become the Sword Master Elder by a single transfer order from Patriarch Kong, Yue Chi naturally rose to his current position as the True Dharma Elder of Kongyuan Mountain.
