Chapter 725 - Convinced and Decided to Join
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan’s interest in joining the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, which was initially high, significantly dwindled.
If what Zhou Pingchuan and Liu Ziyue mentioned about the sect was true, not only would he not consider joining them, but there might also be a considerable chance of conflict in the future.
However, despite Zhou Pingchuan’s extensive talk, Jiang Chengxuan hadn’t heard anything genuinely compelling enough to sway him.
Thus, he went straight to the point with Zhou Pingchuan, asking,
“Fellow Daoist Zhou, you mentioned that if I were to join your Haoran Sect, the sect could provide me with superior cultivation support.
What exactly do you mean by that?”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s question, Zhou Pingchuan’s face lit up with a confident smile.
He said, “Fellow Daoist Jiang, have you ever heard of the Mount of Five Elements Divine Reincarnation?”
“Mount of Five Elements Divine Reincarnation?”
Jiang Chengxuan’s pupils suddenly contracted slightly.
As someone with the Yin Yang Five Elements Spiritual Root, Jiang Chengxuan had perused countless related texts in the Nine Essences cultivation world, including those about the Mount of Five Elements Divine Reincarnation.
It’s touted as the unparalleled sacred mountain for cultivating the Five Elements, unparalleled by any other.
Any cultivator practicing the Five Elements would greatly benefit from cultivating on this mountain, not only in terms of efficiency and speed, which could be tenfold the usual rate, but also in understanding the laws of the Five Elements better.
Moreover, it might even help in comprehending the mysteries of reincarnation through the mountain’s changes of the Five Elements cycle.
In essence, cultivating on the Mount of Five Elements Divine Reincarnation would be immensely beneficial for Jiang Chengxuan, unimaginably so.
Was Zhou Pingchuan suggesting that this mountain was within the Haoran Sect?
Upon this thought, even with Jiang Chengxuan’s temperament, he couldn’t help but feel excitement.
Sensing the change in Jiang Chengxuan’s mood, Zhou Pingchuan nodded, confirming,
“Indeed, Fellow Daoist Jiang. Our Haoran Sect possesses the Mount of Five Elements Divine Reincarnation.
Should you decide to join us, not only will you have the opportunity to cultivate on the mountain every ten years, but our Sect’s Supreme Elder Qin Shenwu will also take you as his direct disciple and guide your cultivation.”
Zhou Pingchuan paused for emphasis, then added, “Oh, and I almost forgot to mention.
It was Supreme Elder Qin Shenwu, a Dao Integration Holy Lord who specializes in the Five Elements, who seized the Mount of Five Elements Divine Reincarnation from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect.”
“What?”
Jiang Chengxuan didn’t expect Mount of Five Elements Divine Reincarnation to really exist in the Haoran Sect.
There was also a Dao Integration Holy Lord who specialized in the cultivation techniques of the Five Elements.
Furthermore, he had snatched the Mount from the Five Elements Heavenly Sect.
Wouldn’t this be a fatal blow to the Five Elements Heavenly Sect?
How could the Five Elements Heavenly Sect let this matter rest?
“Haha.”
As if he had guessed Jiang Chengxuan’s thoughts, Zhou Pingchuan couldn’t help but smile again.
“Do you think that the Five Elements Heaven Sect will not let this matter rest?
To be honest, if there’s a possibility, the Five Elements Heavenly Sect will naturally not give up on trying to take back the Mount of Five Elements Divine Reincarnation from within us.
But unfortunately, with Supreme Elder Qin Shenwu present, they won’t have that opportunity.
Of course.
If you really choose to join our Haoran Sect this time and are willing to become a disciple of Qin Shenwu, then you will naturally establish an antagonistic relationship with the Five Elements Heavenly Sect.
If there’s a chance, they will naturally come looking for trouble, even taking action against you.
This is something I need to make clear in advance.
If you are truly concerned about the Five Elements Heavenly Sect and don’t want to face them immediately after ascending to the Celestial Floodgate Realm, you may choose not to join our Haoran Sect.
Everything is entirely up to you.”
After listening to Zhou Pingchuan’s words, Jiang Chengxuan finally understood why Zhou Pingchuan had shown such confidence earlier.
It had to be said that the allure of the mountain to him was indeed very, very great.
This was closely related to his cultivation in the Five Elements Path, whether he could advance more quickly in his path and lay a more solid foundation for himself before the Dao Integration.
Besides, other than the natural rules of the five elements, Mount of Five Elements Divine Reincarnation also had natural rules of reincarnation.
This was also very useful for his future cultivation of the Infinite Wheel.
If the Haoran Sect could really let him enter Mount of Five Elements Divine Reincarnation every ten years to cultivate.
He was even confident that his cultivation and physical cultivation would both break through to the ninth level of Soul Formation within a hundred years.
And that Supreme Elder of the Haoran Sect who specialized in the Five Elements, Qin Shenwu, if he was truly willing to take him as a direct disciple, the problem of his future techniques should also be solvable.
Coupled with his good impression of the Haoran Sect, he was really considering whether to join this sect now.
If he really chose to join this sect, then undoubtedly, he and Shen Ruyan would have to be temporarily separated.
It could be for ten years, a hundred years, or even longer.
At this moment, Shen Ruyan, who was beside him, suddenly reached out and held his hand.
The two of them locked eyes.
Shen Ruyan said, “Husband, I can tell, and I also have a feeling that the Haoran Sect should be the most suitable sect for you.
Besides this sect, at least in the Celestial Floodgate Realm, there may be no other sect that is more suitable for you than the Haoran Sect.
As cultivators, since we have encountered opportunities that are suitable for ourselves, we should not easily let them slip by and should grasp them well.
You are like this, and I am the same.
What do you think?”
Upon hearing Shen Ruyan’s words, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but smile.
Indeed.
On the path of cultivation, opportunities that truly suit oneself were not common, and each one should be seized.
Although doing so would temporarily separate him from Shen Ruyan, wasn’t it all for the sake of being together better in the future?
If they couldn’t ascend to immortality, their lifespans would eventually come to an end.
Even if they later advanced to Void Returning, theoretically, their lifespan would be infinite, no longer subject to the torment of lifespan exhaustion.
However, they would still face the calamities and tribulations that would recur at certain intervals.
It was the same for Dao Integration and Mahayana.
If they could overcome them, they could continue to live freely for a certain period of time.
But if they couldn’t, then their tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation would go to waste, destroyed in an instant.
So.
If they wanted to last long and even become immortals, they had to firmly grasp every opportunity that appeared on their path, without easily letting it slip by.
With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan quickly made their decision.
They turned to Zhou Pingchuan and Liu Ziyue and said, “Two fellow Daoists, we are willing to join the sect you are in.”
