Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 869 - 10 Elder Changgeng, Activate!

Chapter 869 -10 Elder Changgeng, Activate!

Don’t joke around.

Seeing these four words, Long Long couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Clearly, the other party had accepted his new identity; otherwise, they wouldn’t even bother saying “Don’t joke around,” and it would be more likely that they would abandon this channel of communication altogether.

Sending his blood to the other party seemed recklessly dangerous, the actual result turned out surprisingly well, saving everyone the steps of mutual testing, communication, and earning each other’s trust.

“Based on my blood, have you made any discoveries?” Long Long continued to write back with the question.

After a moment, the other side returned a Jade Slip with the written message:

“Blood matters are of grave importance, not to be easily handed over to others; otherwise, it would put oneself in peril, remember that!”

They even started lecturing… Long Long thought to himself, unaware of how many people were on the other side, but he was sure the decision-maker must be an old scholar.

So he wrote back:

“Master said that you are trustworthy.”

“It’s not about being trustworthy or not,” the other party wrote back. “It’s that in this perilous and turbulent world, you cannot easily trust anyone.”

Okay, confirmation that the other party has persecution paranoia… Long Long thought to himself, but replied:

“Understood, so can I trust you then?”

“Your master said you can trust us because we are also from the Jiaolong clan,” the reply came back. “It’s just because of some historical reasons, the identity of the Jiaolong clan is quite sensitive, so you must never reveal our existence to anyone, especially the fact that you have been in contact with us… This could bring about a catastrophe for you.”

“Alright.” Long Long inwardly chuckled, but kept a pure and innocent façade in the Jade Slip, portraying the simplicity of taking whatever the elders say at face value.

“By the way.” This time the other side hesitated for a bit before asking, “Is the Qilin clan still in power? Who is the emperor?”

“Yes.” Long Long replied quickly, “The current emperor is Qi Qiaosong.”

The other side didn’t reply anymore, and just as Long Long was about to head out to see if Long Hu was seriously cultivating, suddenly another Jade Slip came from the other side:

“How is the relationship between the Azure Dragon clan and the Qilin clan?”

Long Long pondered for a moment, then replied:

“I can’t say for sure. My clan has been at war with the Qilin clan lately, but recently a ceasefire agreement was signed. I’m not sure if I would consider the relationship to be good or bad.”

The information revealed in this statement was twofold; if Beiming Fanyang still retained the political knowledge of their ancestors, they would be able to discern that: first, the Azure Dragon clan is still willing to acknowledge the Qilin clan as the legitimate authority; second, the Azure Dragon clan considers its own interests a priority over maintaining the interests of the Qilin clan.

This is also the norm for the feudal dynasties of the Eastern Emperor Realm, where the great lords protect the lesser lords, and the lesser lords respect the great lords, but only as long as it does not harm their own interests.

When their interests are compromised, those below are ready to rebel at any moment, and those above do not find it strange, as the entire world considers it a matter of course.

The other side didn’t ponder too much and continued to ask:

“Why was there a war?”

Great, they’re trying to dig for information from me now.

Long Long only thought briefly before immediately realizing why this was happening.

It must be because Shi Yao had previously tried to confirm whether the other party was Beiming Fanyang by making numerous probes and roundabout inquiries, which led to an already xenophobic Beiming Fanyang power to become severely vigilant against Shi Yao.

Now that they’re dealing with “innocent, guileless” Long Long, they’ve let down some of their guard… But didn’t I say from the beginning that Shi Yao was my master?

Forget it, whatever.

Long Long honestly replied:

“The Qilin Emperor, Qi Weihuan, died unexpectedly, and the Xuan Gui Clan of the North State attempted to support Prince Qi Weihong of the Qilin to ascend to the throne. In contrast, the Qilin joined forces with the White Tiger, supporting Qi Weihuan’s illegitimate child, Qi Qiaosong, which led to conflict between the two sides.”

“As for us, it seems we are forming an alliance with the Feathered Clan of the South State, and since the Qilin-White Tiger allied forces attacked the South State, we ended up clashing with the Qilin Clan.”

This news was indeed massive, revealing that the Five Great Demon Clans of the Eastern Emperor Realm were engaged in infighting. Consequently, there were no further responses from Beiming Fanyang, probably due to ongoing discussions about the situation.

A few days later, the ceremony within the Azure Dragon Clan concluded, and everyone accepted the fact that Elder Long Long had joined their ranks.

Although Central State had yet to sign a peace agreement, it seemed to have come to an understanding with the South and West States, ceasing hostilities with them and redirecting their offensive towards the North State.

The pressure on the North State immediately increased, and it was said that envoys were sent daily to request military aid from the Eastern State, offering increasingly higher prices… Our clan is just waiting for the right offer, and while it’s not possible to sit back and watch the North State fall, we also plan to see just how much the North State is willing to offer.

In any case, the Eastern State was welcoming a rare and brief period of peace.

The main task of coming to the Eastern Emperor Realm was to undergo Tribulation and enter the Nascent Soul Realm.

Now that the main task has been completed satisfactorily, and having obtained a channel of communication with Beiming Fanyang, Long Long felt like an overwhelming victor, intending to save his progress with Qiu Changtian and quickly inform the Ziwei Master of this good news, to stabilize the shaky Invincible Character Setting.

Ah Jing, save progress!

[Character Identity: Qiu Changtian.]

When Qiu Changtian returned to Golden Ridge, he first straightened his clothes, then proudly stepped out, preparing to control his sword and go to the Kunlun Heavenly Pillar to inform the Ziwei Master of this great news.

But as soon as he left his cave abode, he saw Xu Yinglian returning from outside.

Seeing her senior brother so joyous, she curiously asked:

“Senior brother, what good fortune have you encountered to be so happy?”

“Oh, junior sister.” Qiu Changtian patted her shoulder, “I’ve formed my Nascent Infant.”

It struck Xu Yinglian like a bolt from the blue, and she stood frozen in place.

In fact, upon seeing Senior Brother Qiu’s beaming smile, she had already had a premonition—yet the sudden confirmation that her senior brother had formed his Nascent Infant without a word was an indescribably complex emotion.

Before, I was striving to chase after senior brother’s figure; now, can I not even catch up to his shadow?

But well… I don’t care about that sort of thing anymore.

If one day senior brother were to suddenly undergo Feather Transformation and ascend to immortality, would he no longer be my senior brother?

Instead of falling into self-pity from not being able to catch up with senior brother, it’s better to earnestly cultivate, and not disappoint senior brother’s expectations.

With this thought, Xu Yinglian straightforwardly smiled and said:

“Congratulations, senior brother. Is it time for you to be promoted to elder next?”

Junior Sister Xu’s reaction was so normal that it actually made Qiu Changtian feel abnormal… Shouldn’t she be in disbelief, saying “Impossible, how has senior brother advanced his cultivation so quickly?”

Failing to gain Synchronization Value from his junior sister left Qiu Changtian slightly disappointed, but he soon composed himself, laughing and saying:

“I’m just about to report to the Sect Leader, would junior sister care to join me?”
