Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen s Qi-Blood

Chapter 571: Chapter 273: Is Yan Buming Planning to Take Advantage of the Situation?_2

But what matter is there to discuss with him?

“Master, the Great Flame Dynasty’s Royal Yan Family and the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family have already joined forces,”

“It is said that the Five Elements Immortal Sect, which stands behind the Great Flame Dynasty,”

“has also sent people to the heart of the Great Flame Dynasty.”

“By now, the people from the Five Elements Immortal Sect have probably arrived within the Great Flame Dynasty.”

A young monk with a handsome face, almost eerily so, was slightly bowing his head as he spoke.

The elderly monk did not turn his head to look at the young monk.

Only a ripple momentarily disturbed the murkiness of his eyes, before he asked in a low voice, “So, what is it that you want to say?”

After pondering for a while, the young monk responded, “Master, although our White Brahma Temple is one of the Three Great Demonic Forces of Buddhism, with influence spread across the entire Xuanyuan Continent, …our White Brahma Temple located within the Da Feng Dynasty is, after all, just one branch among many, and the highest cultivation in the temple doesn’t reach the Immortal Realm. If the Five Elements Immortal Sect, which stands behind the Great Flame Dynasty, decides to get involved, I fear we will be no match.”

Hearing this, the elderly monk could not help but chuckle, “The Five Elements Immortal Sect? They are indeed an Immortal Sect Power, but not exactly the mighty support or reliance behind the Great Flame Dynasty.”

“These, are no more than the exaggerated fabrications of outsiders.”

“Immortal Sect, Immortal Sect, must prioritize the pursuit of cultivation above all.”

“The current Crown Prince of the Great Flame Dynasty has only been accepted by one of the many elders of the Five Elements Immortal Sect.”

“Do you think, under such circumstances, the Five Elements Immortal Sect would step forward on behalf of the Great Flame Dynasty?”

The young monk considered this and found it made some sense.

However, he still posed another question.

“Master, since individuals from the Five Elements Immortal Sect have arrived within the Great Flame Dynasty,”

“how can you know that this does not reflect the attitude of the Five Elements Immortal Sect?”

This time, the old monk did not continue to laugh.

Simply, he shook his head silently.

After a silence lasting a few minutes, he continued, “Attitude? The chasm between the secular world and cultivators is as vast as the heavens are from the abyss, as different as clouds are from mud; they’re not on the same plane of existence. Cultivators and Immortal Sect Powers stand aloof, looking down upon all beings, regarding the myriad things of the mortal realm as nothing. Even if the Five Elements Immortal Sect is the lowest-level power in the cultivation world, it is still so.”

“You say the Five Elements Immortal Sect might step forward for the Great Flame Dynasty?”

“That seems rather like a fanciful tale.”

“It’s not to say, that it’s absolutely impossible.”

“Just that, for the Five Elements Immortal Sect, the stakes in this matter are too low, far too low.”

“Even to say,”

“for the Five Elements Immortal Sect, this matter bears no profit whatsoever.”

“And without any profit, why would the Five Elements Immortal Sect choose to act?”

“As for the person from the Five Elements Immortal Sect you mentioned?”

“They surely cannot represent the Five Elements Immortal Sect.”

“Therefore…”

“You need not overly concern yourself with these things.”

…

Following the old monk’s echoingly slow words,

The young monk also couldn’t help but feel a little stunned.

Bowing his head slightly, the young monk seemed to be mulling over the words spoken by the elder.

Shortly thereafter, the young monk departed.

With the young monk’s departure,

Only the old monk was left on the premises.

“Qingshi City Luo Family, oh Qingshi City Luo Family…”

“It truly is becoming all the more peculiar.”

“This fortune…”

“What exactly is the cause?”

With eyes slightly squinted, the old monk gazed in the direction of the Qingshi City Luo Family through his incredibly murky vision.

His aged face gradually filled with a look of puzzlement.

Were it not that the White Brahma Lotus had never been wrong,

He might even begin to doubt whether there was an issue with the White Brahma Lotus itself.

“Enough.”

“Now that things have come to this, let’s just continue to watch.”

“Those two dynastic powers are becoming increasingly restless.”

“It seems they intend to target the Qingshi City Luo Family first?”

Upon reflection, a hint of amusement emerged in the murky eyes of the old monk, “Since the matter has evolved to this stage, I can quietly observe just what kind of cards the Qingshi City Luo Family has to prop up such a fortune amidst the current situation…”

After murmuring to himself, the old monk silently turned his head.

He walked, step by step, back into the palace.

He sat cross-legged on a clean white cushion.

Slowly closing his eyes, he began reciting the unique Buddhist scriptures of the White Brahma Temple once again.

…

Outside the bounds of the Da Feng Dynasty.

Within the vast territory of the Great Flame Dynasty.

In a certain resplendent palace, radiating an aura of imperial authority.

Inside one of the most heavily guarded halls.

A middle-aged man in an Emperor’s robe, emanating a strong imperial presence, now sat silently in the seat of honor.

This man was named Yan Buming.

He was the reigning Emperor of the Great Flame Dynasty.

The alliance between the Da Feng Dynasty and the Great Flame Dynasty was his idea.

At the same time, at this moment,

he was pondering another matter.

Borrowing power!

Yes, borrowing power.

Ever since the Crown Prince of the Great Flame Dynasty had joined the Five Elements Immortal Sect,

rumors started to spread that the Five Elements Immortal Sect was the mountain backing the Great Flame Dynasty, the support behind them.

Some of these rumors were intentionally spread by Yan Buming himself.

Others were the result of exaggerations as they were passed along.

However, regardless of how these statements came about, none of that mattered anymore.

Now, the most important thing was

for him to solidify this perception once and for all.

If everyone was saying the Five Elements Immortal Sect was the mountain backing the Great Flame Dynasty, the support behind them,

then he was indeed going to flaunt the Five Elements Immortal Sect’s influence.

He wanted to use the power of the Five Elements Immortal Sect to deter those families lurking in the shadows, stirring restlessly.

He planned to use this strategy to suppress all dissent once and for all.

Even if it meant allying with the Da Feng Dynasty to jointly carve up the territory of the Qingshi City Luo Family.

The Qingshi City Luo Family was a power that had risen rapidly in the past few years.

They might have strength,

but their heritage was evidently lacking.

Taking action against the Qingshi City Luo Family first, then gradually planning against the White Brahma Temple was the best choice.

As for why he chose to target the White Brahma Temple first?

Obviously, the Great Flame Dynasty became somewhat fearful.

One must always pick the softest persimmon to squeeze.

One of the Second Ancestors of the Great Flame Dynasty, Ancestor Yan, had fallen at the hands of the mysterious and formidable White Brahma Temple.

Under such circumstances, he definitely could not afford to act rashly against the White Brahma Temple.

In contrast, looking at the Qingshi City Luo Family,

it seemed that in recent years, there had been a rapid surge in their power.

Nowadays, they had even reached a level that allowed them to contend with the Da Feng Dynasty, the Great Flame Dynasty, and the White Brahma Temple.@@novelbin@@

But in actual fact, upon closer observation,

one would realize that since the Luo Family’s ascent, their path had been filled with a great deal of fortune.

Whether it was due to this reason or that,

coupled with a bit of strength,

they had established the status the Qingshi City Luo Family held today.

Therefore, no matter how one thinks about it,

no matter how one compares,

the plan to target the Qingshi City Luo Family first would never easily change.

However, that was the plan as it stood.

Indeed, if it were possible to subdue the enemy without fighting, that would naturally be the best outcome.

Therefore, before the battle truly begins,

he wished to test once more whether he could use the influence of the Five Elements Immortal Sect to force the Qingshi City Luo Family to surrender everything they possessed.

The Five Elements Immortal Sect was, after all, an Immortal Sect.

Its deterrence was not something the average person could withstand.

If this plan were to succeed, that would undoubtedly be excellent.

If it failed, there would be no loss either.

“Hmm…”

With these thoughts in mind,

Yan Buming, who was seated in the seat of honor clad in his Emperor’s robe, took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

As his thoughts gradually settled, he called out in a low voice to someone outside the palace, “Come…”
