Chapter 925: The longer you live, the higher your seniority

In the grand hall.

The simple, classical floor was covered with soft cloud brocade, exuding a faint spiritual qi.

Nine sturdy Crane Spirit Trees stood tall in the hall, like nine indestructible pillars, towering and majestic.

Around the hall, the intricately carved windows were engraved with Earth-tier Image Stones, through which one could see a mesmerizing and beautiful external view.

Everyone walked slowly into the hall, stepping onto the cloud brocade, and took their seats.

Chen Xun sat at the main seat, his white robe fluttering like an immortal, his black hair like ink, his face elegant, and his eyes exuding a calm and amiable light.

Several immortals slowly took their seats, their figures flickering like stars, emitting various glows—some mysterious, some proud, some indifferent, some passionate.

The proud one was naturally Gu Lisheng, with an air of fearlessness. However, Chen Xun had seen him like this the first time they met, so he was already used to it.

Their gazes all focused on Chen Xun, and the hall fell silent, with only the slight movements and breathing of the immortals.

Frog Daoist was pressed under Black Bull's belly, almost flattened, not struggling, his pupils showing a scattered look, feeling that his life was nearing its end...

Whoosh~~~

A gentle breeze blew inside the hall, as three disciples from the Five Aggregates Sect respectfully brought tea, two men and one woman.

The sect's current attire was quite distinctive, made from first-grade spiritual herbs of the Wild Heaven Region.

The attire was as light as cicada wings, almost weightless when worn, yet it had a strong function of resisting the harsh cultivating environment of the Wild Heaven Region.

These spiritual herbs were sent by the Dark Heaven Alliance back then; first-grade spiritual herbs were hard to come by, but first-grade spiritual grass was abundant.

The men's attire was ink-black, the women's deep green, revealing a sense of stability and depth in their modesty, with intricate patterns of the ninety-nine ring-shaped mountains engraved on them.

Black Bull had thoroughly learned how to engrave formations in magical artifacts from the Celestial Path Track, and these attires were personally engraved by it, making them invaluable.

Outer Disciples, Inner Disciples, Personal Disciples, Outer Elders, Honorary Elders, Inner Elders, Peak Masters, Grand Elders, Sect Ancestors—the nine stages of the Five Aggregates Sect!

Corresponding to the ninety-nine ring-shaped mountains, the hierarchy of immortality was strict, and cultivation was merely the threshold.

Even if you were in the Tribulation Crossing phase, as an Outer Disciple, you had to call an Inner Disciple in the Qi cultivation phase 'Senior Brother,' and call an Elder 'Uncle-Master' or 'Master.'

In today's Five Aggregates Sect, it's not about the supremacy of the strong; seniority must not be confused. The main focus is on who lives the longest. If the upper beam is like this, the lower beam will follow. Only by living long can one have high seniority!

It also prevents those who are weak from being overly eager for quick success. Studying the "Five Aggregates Immortal Canon" is the right path. As for advancing to Inner Disciple, the assessments are numerous...

But it's not just about winning or losing in a duel; that's just the initial stage.

Chen Xun found it interesting, slowly nurturing disciples. The Wild Heaven Region was vast, with countless secret realms, offering any scene and danger one could desire, and even allowing the construction of new worlds!

The attire of Outer Disciples was engraved with the virtual shadow of the ninety-nine mountains, with only the bottom eleven mountains turning virtual to real. One glance at the attire in the sect would reveal their identity.

But the attire of these three had seventy-seven ring-shaped mountains turning virtual to real, marking them as one of the Five Aggregates Sect's Peak Masters, of extraordinary status. Even if Meng Sheng came, he would have to call them 'Senior Brother' and 'Senior Sister.'

After all, he was an Honorary Elder, and returning to the sect, he could only wear the attire with fifty-five ring-shaped mountains.

In the grand hall.

Chen Xun smiled and said, "Everyone, these three juniors are the Peak Masters of my Five Aggregates Sect, Liu Han, Ji Zhao, and Shi Wujun. They can also be considered my Named Disciples, descendants of my close friends."

"Greetings, seniors."

The three bowed their heads in unison, their bodies trembling slightly with tension, their injuries having just recovered, though only at the Elemental Infant phase...

Now facing immortals above Divine Transformation, Void Refinement, and Unity... their legs not giving way was already a testament to their good state of mind. If it were Chen Xun and Black Bull, they might have knelt directly.

In the face of life, dignity means nothing; a single glance could crush them to death!

The three looked tense, veins popping on their foreheads, bearing immense pressure.

Even if the immortals didn't release their aura, they didn't dare to look directly at them. It was a fear and respect from the instinct of life's hierarchy. If not for the ancestor sitting here, their Dao hearts would have long collapsed.

"So, they are descendants of the Dao Ancestor." The Yu family ancestor smiled faintly, waving his finger lightly, and an invisible aura floated from his fingertip towards the three.

It was a jade talisman shimmering with golden light, tumbling in the air, seemingly possessing infinite mana, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to tremble.

"This is one of the Yu family's hundred talismans, the Life Talisman, which can shield you from calamity in life-and-death crises."

The Yu family ancestor showed a faint smile, "A small meeting gift for you juniors, hoping you will shine brightly in the Wild Heaven Region and not tarnish the Five Elements Immortal's reputation."

"Thank you, senior, for the treasure!"

The three's pupils shrank, their heads lowered a few more degrees, the golden jade talisman seemingly merging into their bodies and Elemental Infants, bringing a warmth that instantly strengthened their souls.

Moreover, the two ancestors did not stop it, indicating that the talisman had no issues...

They had been taught by Chen Xun to be extremely cautious in their actions, and even with the blessing of an immortal, they couldn't help but harbor a moment of suspicion.

Immortal Burial's gaze slightly condensed, inadvertently glancing at the Yu family ancestor, this old fellow was indeed generous, this Life Talisman was hard to come by even in a grand world, capable of resolving the Tribulation Crossing Venerable's crisis, a supreme treasure that could be passed down.

Unexpectedly, he casually gifted it to three juniors in the Elemental Infant phase.

Immortal Burial and Wangyou were not polite either, one gifting three thirty-meter-long Burial Soul Coffins, the other gifting a hundred-year-refined Huangqu Water, causing the Yu family ancestor's brow to twitch slightly.

The Burial Soul Coffin, something their longevity family also desired!

With this coffin, one could seal various powerful ghosts and evil beings, extremely restraining ghost cultivators, allowing one to walk horizontally in the Eastern Wilderness of the region, its greatest function being soul protection!

Even if the immortal essence was destroyed, one could be reborn through the soul, an ultimate life-saving item... wasn't it long lost...!

The Yu family ancestor's gaze became incomparably deep, it seemed the Burial Heaven Mound was indeed emptying its reserves, what was the meaning?!

And the Huangqu Water, condensed from the death energy of immortals, could suppress the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, even if life ended, the soul could remain immortal, the residual thoughts enduring until exhausted.

The Yu family ancestor wore a smile, his thoughts already drifting beyond the heavens.

These things were not usable by the three juniors in the Elemental Infant phase, but seemed like they were borrowing their hands to gift to the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements...

His divine sense was like lightning, interspersed with information about the Ancient Immortal, understanding too much in an instant.

So, it seemed the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements might have someone he wanted to resurrect.

The Yu family ancestor remained expressionless, quietly watching them, the notion of resurrection existing within the Boundless Great World, once occurring within the demon court.

However, it was heard that they too were awakening from slumber, now stationed in the Ten Thousand Demon Region within the Boundless Great World.

...Things were starting to get interesting.

The Yu family ancestor's eyes flashed with a gleam, seemingly unintentional in gifting treasures, was this to lead the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements towards the demon court... it seemed the Taiyi Ancient Immortal Court was also unwilling to remain silent.
