C898 Smart Man
Of course, if the method was right, it would be of great help to revitalize the sect. For example, he could get enough cultivation techniques, and they could not be ordinary cultivation techniques.
If this was the case, if the Longevity Sect was destroyed by the Great Devil in the future, perhaps there would be a day when there would be enough talented disciples who would rise again by cultivating the cultivation techniques left behind by the Longevity Sect.
Of course, this was only a possibility. In fact, if the Longevity Sect was really destroyed by the Great Devil... At that time, perhaps... The entire Dongzhou was under the pressure of the Great Devil. At that time... No matter how talented a disciple was, there wouldn't be a day when he would stand out.
Therefore, no matter how hard he tried, it didn't mean much to the Longevity Sect. As long as there was a threat from the Great Devil, there was no difference between the Longevity Sect and the other sects. They could be destroyed at any time.
Under such circumstances, what he should do the most was... If the devil was suppressed again... That would be the greatest threat to the Longevity Sect. At that time... There wouldn't be any problems with what he was doing now.
Unless, that devil would never attack the sects of the Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou. In fact, just like what it said, it wanted to coexist with Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou. However, the appearance of that rogue cultivator called Zhao Yan showed how unbelievable his words were.
At this moment, Gu Yuanhua finally understood what he was doing. It was merely his own obsession. However, whether it was for the Longevity Sect... Whether it was the Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou or himself... It wouldn't bring him much benefits.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He even felt that it was somewhat absurd. He was already at this age. Furthermore, he was already a Divine Ability Stage, and had seen so many storms and waves. How could he still be stuck on this problem?
Furthermore, he could see the problem. Could it be that Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao couldn't see it?
However, Lin Cheng did not say much all this time. He even refined so many Nine-revolution Divine Pills, but he did not try to persuade him. This was not because Lin Cheng was afraid of him. Gu Yuanhua naturally would not have such foolish thoughts.
There was only one explanation. Lin Cheng had actually been waiting. Or it could be said that everything Lin Cheng did was to return the favor.
For a mighty expert like Lin Cheng, if he wanted to establish a sect, it would be a piece of cake. Especially since Lin Cheng could refine Nine-revolution Divine Pill, why would he stay in the Longevity Sect?
Lin Cheng was giving him a chance, even if it was because Lin Cheng did not want to waste any more time looking for a place to stay, or because he wanted to use the Longevity Sect to get involved in the matters of the Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou.
Regardless of which possibility it was, Lin Cheng had done enough for the Longevity Sect.
Therefore, after Gu Yuanhua thought about it, he knew that he had to come and talk to Lin Cheng. Otherwise, perhaps Lin Cheng wouldn't have said anything, but he still pretended to be confused even though he knew this. Then he wouldn't know what was good for him.
Gu Yuanhua came. When he said this, he saw Lin Cheng's smiling face and didn't say anything. He couldn't help but realize that perhaps Lin Cheng had been waiting for him to say these words.
This made Gu Yuanhua feel even more ashamed. He said, "Elder Lin, it was my narrow horizons in the past. His eyes were so shallow that he could only stare at the Longevity Sect, but he had forgotten to look at the entire Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou. I even forgot that there was a great devil staring at the Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou. This is really..."
He shook his head with a bitter smile. Although he had always regarded that great devil as a mortal enemy, however, in his subconscious, he had always thought that... Even if that devil attacked, it would definitely deal with a powerful sect like the Heavenly Star Sect or the Myriad Sword Sect first. However, he had subconsciously ignored it. In fact, to the devil... Perhaps all the cultivator was its enemy.
The Longevity Sect couldn't stay out of it either!
Therefore, how to revitalize the Longevity Sect wasn't the top priority right now. Right now, he didn't have the ability nor the qualification to revitalize the Longevity Sect.
From the moment Lin Cheng came to the Longevity Sect until now, he had played a role as a steward.
In the past, he didn't understand, but now he did.
"Sect Master, actually, I can understand everything you've done. If it's possible, I'm also willing to strengthen the Longevity Sect. Of course, I might need to restore the Longevity Sect to its peak. I don't have the ability to do so, but the Longevity Sect won't decline like this."
Lin Cheng couldn't help but sigh when he heard Gu Yuanhua's words. He said, "But, even if I'm willing to do so, that devil might not give us the chance and time to do so. Besides, even if the Longevity Sect had recovered to its peak, didn't that devil recover its strength? It is also recovering, and it will become stronger and stronger.
Once the devil attacked, what could the Longevity Sect do even if it surpassed the Heavenly Star Sect?
Unless, the Longevity Sect could send out a Half-step Sovereign or even a supreme being to suppress that devil once again... "
Gu Yuanhua couldn't help but smile bitterly. If the Longevity Sect could produce a Half-step Sovereign, how could they revitalize it?
With a Half-step Sovereign in charge, even if it was just a family from the Mortal Realm, it would be enough to instantly become one of the top powers in the Cultivation Realm.
Furthermore, with the current foundation of the Longevity Sect, how could they nurture such a powerful expert?
This was obviously impossible!
The only ones who had the highest chance of becoming a Half-step Sovereign were Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao.2
"Sect Master, the next thing we need to do is to think of a way to deal with that devil. Of course, we need to be wary of other sects or people with ulterior motives stabbing us in the back."
Lin Cheng didn't mention about the matter of the Longevity Sect. Instead, he said, "It would be better if that devil doesn't attack Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou. But we have to be prepared."
Gu Yuanhua couldn't help but shake his head and said, "The devil and Cultivation Realm are sworn enemies. Besides, it has been suppressed in the Devil-suppressing Cliff for so many years. Anyone would be furious. How could it bear it? The reason why it didn't attack was probably because its strength hadn't recovered yet.
Elder Lin, what do you need me to do? I will definitely do my best."
" There's no need for that. The great demon is too powerful. We just need to do our best. " Lin Cheng smiled and said," Next, I still have some things to do in Myriad Sword Sect. There are some debts that I have to settle with them. When I return, I will start preparing to head to Boundless Forest. I will leave the matters of Longevity Sect to Sect Master. "
Gu Yuanhua couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. It was only a matter of time before Lin Cheng confronted that devil. He had already expected this to happen. But... This was the first time he had heard that Lin Cheng was going to the Myriad Sword Sect. This was something he had never thought of.
He suddenly remembered that Lin Cheng had asked him to contact the disciples of the Longevity Sect, hoping to find out what was happening in the other sects. He realized that perhaps Lin Cheng had already decided to go to the Myriad Sword Sect at that time.
This wasn't a simple sentence. Going to the Myriad Sword Sect was the same as going to the Myriad Sword Sect. Lin Cheng was a mighty figure, and the meaning he represented was completely different from the ordinary Cultivation Realm.
"Elder Lin, the Myriad Sword Sect can't be underestimated..." Gu Yuanhua hastily tried to persuade him.
"I understand."
Lin Cheng nodded and said, "But I have a reason to go."
Hearing this, Gu Yuanhua understood. He knew he should not ask any more questions, so he just asked, "Then what do I need to do?"
"This is a matter between me and Myriad Sword Sect. Sect Master, you only need to take charge of the sect step by step. Ziqiao will stay behind to keep watch, to prevent anyone from causing trouble when I leave."
Lin Cheng said, "However, if it's possible, Sect Master should be able to find out the whereabouts of the other sects through those disciples. He might even be able to find out the situation of the Celestial Devil Sect through those rogue cultivators."
Gu Yuanhua's expression turned stern when he heard this. He nodded and said, "Alright, I will definitely do it."
Zhu Ziqiao only came out after sending Gu Yuanhua away.
"I did not expect that Gu Sect Master would take the initiative to come." Zhu Ziqiao said, "It seems that he really thought it through."
"I can understand his feelings, but unfortunately, the timing is not right."
Lin Cheng shook his head and said, "Actually, if I were him, I would probably do the same."
"Gu Sect Master is also a smart person."
Zhu Ziqiao said, "However, things are not as good as you think. There is nothing you can do about it."
In her opinion, it was true that Gu Yuanhua wanted to revitalize the Longevity Sect. However, under the circumstances of Lin Cheng refining the Nine-revolution Divine Pill... He wanted to nurture a large number of Divine Ability Stage disciples, and from there, he would be able to take revenge on the Myriad Sword Sect. This was probably one of Gu Yuanhua's goals.
However, since Lin Cheng had stopped concocting the Nine-revolution Divine Pill, Gu Yuanhua should have already understood what Lin Cheng meant.
Of course, this was also a very normal thought. After all, the hatred of the sect being destroyed was not so easy to dissipate.
However, in Zhu Ziqiao's opinion, if Gu Yuanhua had always had this mentality, he definitely wouldn't be able to restore the Longevity Sect to its peak.
Because, any powerful sect or any expert wouldn't be able to rely on just the pill. Although the pill was indispensable, the cultivation realm and Cultivation Level were the foundation of the sect.
If Gu Yuanhua wanted to settle down and use a few hundred years to nurture some talented disciples, then perhaps the Longevity Sect would be able to produce a few powerful experts, or perhaps even stronger.
However, if one only wanted to rely on the pile of Divine Ability Stage disciples to strengthen the sect, this would indeed be able to allow the Longevity Sect to gain a firm foothold. However, it was virtually impossible to take revenge.
