Cultivation: Being Immortal

Central Region, northeast part

The main gate of the Jiang family was surrounded, it was a very sudden event. Holy Heavenly Sect suddenly appeared near the gate of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family didn’t have time to react. Not to mention the surveillance of the Jiang family by Holy Heavenly Sect, even the surveillance by Spiritual Moon Sect didn’t have time to respond.

Luckily, Jiang family’s Void Achieving cultivator stationed at the main gate, so they reacted faster and activated the protective formation in time. Otherwise, the Jiang family would have been taken away in one fell swoop.

"Elder, Spiritual Moon Sect has responded. Reinforcements will arrive soon, but Spiritual Moon Sect wants us to investigate how Holy Heavenly Sect was able to suddenly surround the Jiang family and how they managed to deceive everyone."

A Soul Changing cultivator approached the Jiang family’s Void Achieving cultivator and said. Holy Heavenly Sect’s actions were too fast. Even their spies and horses were unknown. It seemed like they suddenly appeared near the gate of the Jiang family.

Lin Batian from Yun State can do this, but only for a few people, he cannot manage the large-scale mobilization of Holy Heavenly Sect.

"Is Spiritual Moon Sect really saying that?"

"Yes."

"Oh no!"

"Spiritual Moon Sect is afraid of Holy Heavenly Sect, it will be difficult for reinforcements to come."

"No way, Elder! We are the biggest subordinate of Spiritual Moon Sect. If we are taken by Holy Heavenly Sect, who will dare to follow them in the future?"

Jiang family’s Soul Changing doesn’t believe that Spiritual Moon Sect would be so heartless. Even if they do it as a show, they should still do it.

"Oh no, lost the bet."

The Void Achieving cultivator of the Jiang family shook his head. When Yang Qing forced them to choose sides, they chose the Spiritual Moon Sect and killed Yang Qing and others. But now, it seems that the Spiritual Moon Sect is really just pretending to be strong.

"Elder, what should we do? Surrender?"

"We can’t surrender. Stop bringing back external disciples. Go tidy up the sect’s treasure vault and leave with your people."

"Ah!"

"Listen to me, hurry up and go."

The Void Achieving cultivator from the Jiang family said. The entrance to the Jiang family’s mountain gate is suddenly surrounded. The outer disciples of the Jiang family can only come back through the teleportation array. But once the Spiritual Moon Sect says this, he realizes that the Spiritual Moon Sect cannot be relied upon anymore. It’s better to arrange for the excellent disciples to escape.

All the big families are like rabbits in three burrows. The seed plan has always been in place, allowing excellent young disciples to escape and giving the family a chance to revive. Many cultivation world families do this.

The Soul Changing cultivator from the Jiang family quickly leaves, but halfway through, he turns back. With a terrified expression, he says, "Ancestor, something terrible happened. There’s news from the teleportation array, the space has been locked, and the teleportation array is no longer functioning."

"What? How did this happen?"

The Void Achieving cultivator from the Jiang family is shocked. He knows that the Central Region’s major sects have the ability to lock space, but the Holy Heavenly Sect has only become a first-rate sect for just over a hundred years. How could they have this ability? Could it be that other major sects have intervened?

······

"Master, the space within a thousand miles near the Jiang family’s mountain gate has been locked. Unless Xu Mingyue personally arrives, it will be impossible to break through."

Outside the Jiang family’s mountain gate, a Soul Changing cultivator says to Yang Xi. They spent some time and completely locked the Jiang family. Not many people managed to escape.

"Alright, you go and prepare for battle."

Yang Xi nodded and told someone to go down.

"Yang Luo, when do you think we should attack the Jiang family mountain gate? They only have about half their strength here, so it shouldn’t be difficult to take over."

Yang Xi immediately said to Yang Luo. Usually, the mountain gate will have about thirty to fifty percent of their force stationed there, while the rest of the troops are scattered around, managing different aspects of their power.

"No hurry, surrounding the Jiang family is just to trap them and call for help from the Spiritual Moon Sect."

"Although that’s true, the Jiang family is not necessarily a place the Spiritual Moon Sect must save. In my opinion, we should have gone to besiege the Siling Mountain’s Spiritual Stone Mine belonging to the Spiritual Moon Sect."

Yang Xi explained. The key to trapping and calling for help is that the place being trapped is somewhere the enemy must save. Otherwise, the enemy could choose to give up or attack other places.

"The Siling Mountain’s Spiritual Stone Mine is close to the territory of the Shenmu Sect, so attacking the Four Spiritual Mountains would be too risky."

"But what if the Spiritual Moon Sect gives up on rescuing the Jiang family?"

"Then we’ll devour the Jiang family and slowly erode the Spiritual Moon Sect’s power."

Yang Luo said, if the Jiang family doesn’t help, the Spiritual Moon Sect will lose people’s support, and other followers will surely turn against them. At that time, the Spiritual Moon Sect will be left all alone and won’t be able to compete with them anymore.

"I’m more afraid that the Spiritual Moon Sect will attack the gate of our Holy Heavenly Sect directly."

"In that case, let’s take the initiative and attack the gate of the Spiritual Moon Sect."

Yang Luo didn’t care anymore. If it’s an exchange, the Holy Heavenly Sect won’t lose anything. The Holy Heavenly Sect’s gate doesn’t have much wealth. This time, they almost emptied their reserves. As long as they have people left, everything else doesn’t matter.

Yang Xi was speechless. Yang Luo was too confident, and he could never learn that kind of confidence. It seemed like everything was within her expectations.

Moreover, Yang Luo was very heartless. She could easily abandon Yang Qing and the others before, and now it seemed like she could also easily abandon the people at the gate of the Holy Heavenly Sect.

Father, if you want to achieve great things, you have to make choices and sacrifices. Lower-ranked cultivators are resources for higher-ranked cultivators. That’s the truth. If the people at the gate of the sect can sacrifice themselves for the strength of the Holy Heavenly Sect, then it’s an honor for them. We can compensate their families in the future.

Emotions are the most useless thing in the world. Can emotions exchange for cultivation? Can they exchange for resources? No, they can’t. Don’t blame me for being heartless. This is the truth in this world. If I’m incapable and get sacrificed by someone, then it’s my own fault."

Yang Luo looked at Yang Xi’s expression and said, the truth is often cruel, and many people can’t accept it. And those who can’t accept it are destined to fail.

Just look at those so-called successful people in the world. They are all decisive and ruthless. Success and honor are earned through countless sacrifices. If you don’t want to be sacrificed, you must be willing to sacrifice others.

Spiritual Moon Sect, the mountain gate

Xu Mingyue learned that the Jiang family was surrounded and immediately mobilized soldiers and horses for rescue. However, the disciples beneath the sect had a fierce argument about this, with many people disagreeing to fight against the Holy Heavenly Sect.

As a result, the plan was put on hold. Xu Mingyue had to call back some of the frontline forces inside the gate to debate with the proponents of peace, in order to gain support from the entire sect.

The Spiritual Moon Sect had quite a few proponents of war, and Xu Yunyue was the most vocal among them. In a way, she represented Xu Mingyue’s opinion.

"In the cultivation world, whichever force can occupy all territories, they are all just a group of followers. Without followers, how can my Spiritual Moon Sect occupy any land? The Jiang family is the largest dependent of my Spiritual Moon Sect. If we don’t save the Jiang family, our other dependents will feel disheartened. In future battles with the Holy Heavenly Sect, who would be willing to sacrifice themselves for us?"

"This is how the rules of the cultivation world are. The main sect provides protection for its dependents, and in return, the dependents provide resources for the main sect. Now that our dependents are in trouble, how can we, as the main sect, stand by and not help?"

"The position of the Jiang family is in between my Spiritual Moon Sect and the Holy Heavenly Sect. If we protect the Jiang family, we are essentially safeguarding the boundaries of my Spiritual Moon Sect. If the Jiang family is destroyed, the Holy Heavenly Sect won’t hesitate to attack my Spiritual Moon Sect. Otherwise, we will become vulnerable in the future…"

"There is also the issue of the Jiang family surrendering. Currently, both the Holy Heavenly Sect and ourselves have one Tao Achieving and three Void Achieving cultivators. If the Jiang family joins the Holy Heavenly Sect, our high-level power will weaken, and if their Soul Changing and Nascent Soul cultivators join the Holy Heavenly Sect, we will be completely inferior to them…"

"If we save the Jiang family, we might win or we might lose. But if we don’t save them, we will definitely lose. It’s just a matter of time, whether it’s a few hundred years or a few thousand years, the Spiritual Moon Sect will cease to exist. And when that time comes…"

The voices of the pro-war faction were loud, criticizing the main faction with valid reasons. Many people were left speechless and couldn’t argue back.

Although the main faction couldn’t argue back, they still disagreed with the pro-war faction’s actions. They had a few reasons for that, like the losses being too great and the possibility of others taking advantage of the situation.

"Mingyue, they are arguing so loudly, but it’s leading nowhere."

Beside Xu Mingyue, a man said.

"If one side cannot convince the other through arguing, then what will we do? If the other side refuses to help, how can the Holy Heavenly Sect be their opponent?"

Xu Mingyue nodded, knowing well that arguing wouldn’t lead to any result. But without arguments, without convincing the other side, without aligning their thoughts, they wouldn’t be able to fully unleash their power. The Spiritual Moon Sect wouldn’t be able to oppose the Holy Heavenly Sect.

"Mingyue, things are not good for the Jiang family. The Holy Heavenly Sect has blocked the entrance to their mountain gate. The Jiang family is trapped and unable to fight back. The forces outside are being quickly eliminated by the Holy Heavenly Sect. If we don’t save them soon, it will be too late."

"How can the Holy Heavenly Sect have such power? What do they use to block space?"

"Oh, Yang Luo, Yang Luo has become famous in Tianxian City. He has interacted with the Talisman Maker of various major sects. I don’t know what they talked about, maybe they received help from other sects."

"Why don’t I have any news at all?"

"Mingyue, don’t you understand? Our Spiritual Moon Sect’s so-called allies are not reliable. The last attack from the Shenmu Sect has proven that."

The man said. The allies of the Spiritual Moon Sect are mostly their relatives by marriage. Spiritual Moon Sect has made many friends through these marriages. These friends can add to their glory, but they cannot provide much help. Now that the Holy Heavenly Sect can offer them greater benefits, abandoning the Spiritual Moon Sect is like throwing away garbage.

"Mingyue, make up your mind. If we keep delaying, the Jiang family will be gone."

The man said again, and Xu Mingyue immediately frowned.

"Let’s fight. We will have to fight sooner or later, so let’s solve it this time."

Xu Mingyue hesitated for a long time, but finally made up her mind. The battle between the Spiritual Moon Sect and the Holy Heavenly Sect is unavoidable. It was destined as soon as Tao Achieving appeared in the Holy Heavenly Sect. Since that’s the case, it’s better to strike sooner rather than later. Let’s fight.
