Longevity: Start Farming with Entries

Wangyue Island Main Peak, inside the Cyan Wood Pavilion.

Qin Ming’s gaze lightly swept over everyone present.

At the lower part of the grand hall.

Nalan Xi, Guu Qingzhao, and Wei Wuya, among others who had a good relationship with Qin Ming, all felt very complicated emotions.

Those who once interacted as fellow Daoists, in just a few short years, now had to address him as an elder True Monarch and pay respects.

From now on, their identities would change, with clear distinctions between high and low.

The gap between the Golden Core and the Nascent Soul, like the difference between a swallow and a swan, is not just a small disparity.

Qin Ming’s achievement of the Nascent Soul means he has become a prominent figure who can influence the winds and clouds in the Cultivation Realm, respected in any place within the Human Realm.

"Are you two disciples of Lihuo Palace? Why come all the way to our Southern Wilderness unprovoked?"

Qin Ming asked calmly, fully aware of the answer.

During his tribulation, he clearly perceived everything happening on Lihuo Palace’s cross-country spiritual ship.

He also knew these two wouldn’t dare to run.

Moreover, Qin Ming had long heard of Lihuo Palace recruiting forces in the Southern Wilderness.

Jing Qing felt a chill upon hearing this, both of their foreheads already pouring sweat.

To be named directly by the newly promoted Nascent Soul powerhouse under the public eye was not a pleasant experience.

Lihuo Palace’s Nascent Soul seed, Jing Qing, had no choice but to brace himself, step forward, and bow once more:

"Reporting to True Monarch Wangyue, junior Jing Qing of Lihuo Palace was ordered by my sect to come to the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm to select cultivators to join our sect..."

"We accidentally encountered you, elder Nascent Soul of Great Success, and specially came to congratulate you on becoming a True Monarch."

Immediately, Jing Qing hurriedly presented several jade box treasures.

"Elder Qin, don’t listen to this person’s nonsense. Lihuo Palace acts extremely overbearingly, recruiting people to join battles in the Central Continent, forcibly conscripting disciples from sects in the Four Nations, and even abducting our sect’s disciples of the Alchemy Dao."

Xuan Rain from Profound Creek Valley stood up, her expression filled with righteous anger as she spoke.

Their sect initially had deep ties with Lihuo Palace, but since the passing of Elder Qingxuan, Lihuo Palace overstepped, even forcibly taking away Fang Han, a disciple vital to the future of Profound Creek Valley.

Jing Qing had achieved Golden Core Perfection, while Xuan Rain was only at the early-stage Golden Core, unable to stop their sect’s True Disciple from being taken by Lihuo Palace.

But now that a Nascent Soul True Monarch had emerged in the Southern Wilderness, everything was naturally different.

"Oh, is that so?"

Qin Ming’s words were indifferent.

But his gaze narrowed slightly, once again falling on the two from Lihuo Palace.

Suddenly.

Jing Qing and the lean Golden Core cultivator immediately felt an extremely terrifying Nascent Soul Spiritual Pressure descend upon them, causing their souls to quiver uncontrollably.

Under this suffocating sense of oppression, Jing Qing and his partner could no longer stand, collapsing directly to their knees.

"A Nascent Soul Great Power, terrifying indeed!"

The Heaven-Devouring Rat sneaked a peek from the door, exclaiming in surprise upon seeing Lihuo Palace’s Nascent Soul seed unable to even stand before its master.

Jing Qing and his partner wore pained expressions, feeling as if a mountain was crushing them, suffocated beyond bearing.

Yet the other Golden Cores within the Cyan Wood Pavilion seemed unaffected.

This precise control over spiritual pressure, surpassing even Master Lihuo of their own sect.

Only the two from Lihuo Palace lay like dead dogs on the ground, faces filled with terror, unable to resist.

"Mercy, True Monarch!"

"We were only acting on orders from our sect, with no intent to offend. Previously, the Southern Wilderness was a vassal cultivation realm of Great Jin, but now under the True Monarch’s protection, Lihuo Palace dares not harbor any more indecent intentions."

Jing Qing, seizing the moment, gritted his teeth and pleaded for mercy.

"As for those two individuals, I happened to discover them, and we treated them well during the journey, without any ill-treatment."

Crash!

Upon hearing this, the immense spiritual pressure retreated like a tide.

The two from Lihuo Palace, escaping from the jaws of death, gasped for air, trembling on their knees, lowering their heads, fearing punishment from the Nascent Soul True Monarch.

"Bring those two up here." Qin Ming sat lazily in his seat, speaking casually.

Jing Qing, as if receiving a pardon, hurriedly had his junior brother bring the two over.

At the same time, he secretly felt lucky to have saved his life: ’Thankfully, I didn’t mistreat those two individuals, providing well for them.’

’Otherwise, if the True Monarch had gotten furious, my junior brother and I might not have left Wangyue Island alive today.’

Half a stick of incense later.

The lean Golden Core cultivator from Lihuo Palace respectfully brought in a man and a woman into the grand hall.

It turned out to be Qin Ming’s old acquaintances, Qingxia Fairy Mo Lingwei, and Grandmaster Gongsun Yang’s disciple Fang Han from Profound Creek Valley.

Both had personally witnessed Qin Ming achieve the Nascent Soul True Monarch on Lihuo Palace’s spiritual ship.

Shocked as they were, they bowed in utmost respect and said:

"Junior pays respects to True Monarch Wangyue, congratulating you on reaching Nascent Soul Great Success, may the Immortal Dao endure!"

"Mm, rise. Fang Han, you should return to the sect with Xuan Rain."

"Fairy Mo, please step back. I will speak with you later."

"Thank you, True Monarch, for your great kindness!" Fang Han saluted and respectfully stood behind Ancestor Xuan Rain.

Ancestor Xuan Rain was also filled with gratitude towards Qin Ming since Fang Han was indeed the future and hope of their Profound Creek Valley.

"I thank True Monarch for your great kindness, and I will follow your command!" Mo Lingwei, wearing a long black gauze dress, had a complex expression.

She didn’t expect that after so many years, the familiar man before her hadn’t changed a bit, and even more, had suddenly become a Nascent Soul True Monarch...

Subsequently, the Heaven-Devouring Rat ran in and waved its small hand towards Mo Lingwei, saying, "Fairy Mo, this way... please follow me."

Mo Lingwei, caught between gains and losses, unsure of why Qin Ming kept her back alone, could only follow the Heaven-Devouring Rat out of the grand hall.

Meanwhile, Nalan Xi and Guu Qingzhao below, despite a slight ripple in their emotions, dared not speak more.

When the two from Lihuo Palace were about to breathe a sigh of relief.

They only heard Qin Ming say indifferently:

"Dare to come to Southern Wilderness and cause trouble; a death sentence may be spared, but living sins cannot escape."

Immediately, without moving his body, he released a sharp wave of energy, striking the two from Lihuo Palace.

"Ah!"

The lean cultivator and Jing Qing spat out essence blood, flying backward far away and landing on the ground.

Both of their faces were ghastly pale, clearly suffering serious injuries.

Qin Ming effortlessly injured their meridians, and it would take ten to eight years to recover fully.

Lihuo Palace’s Nascent Soul Seed Jing Qing fainted directly while vomiting blood.

Then, his gaze fell on the lean cultivator:

"Go back and tell your Lihuo Palace ancestor to come personally to take them back."

"Yes! As the True Monarch commands," the lean cultivator clutched his chest, responding with lingering fear, then staggered out of the hall.

The cultivators present didn’t expect Qin Ming to be so authoritative and dignified, truly venting anger for the Southern Wilderness.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat watched with enthusiasm, wishing it could take its master’s place.

In an instant.

The atmosphere in Cyan Wood Pavilion froze.

A moment later, Ancestor Xuan Rain pondered for a moment, then bowed forward and said to Qin Ming:

"Master Wangyue, your righteousness is great. The Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm has always been fragmented and at others’ mercy."

"Now, with you overseeing and managing, our Liang Country’s Xuanxi Valley is willing to submit and pledge allegiance to Wangyue Island, obeying your orders."

With these words said.

The other elders from the remaining three kingdoms also echoed, following Ancestor Xuan Rain’s lead and agreeing.

Even Nalan Xi, the City Lord of Vast Sea Immortal City, expressed an attitude of submission.

Upon hearing this, it was within Qin Ming’s expectations, as the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm had not seen a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator in thousands of years.

With other Great Cultivation Realms rising above them, there wasn’t a single word of resentment.

Now everyone, too, seemed to have found their backbone.

Having achieved his Nascent Soul, Qin Ming no longer needs to be as restrained as before.

Furthermore, after his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm, the resources required for cultivation were rare in the cultivation realm.

Relying solely on himself to find them would take eons.

After becoming a Nascent Soul, collecting resources wasn’t something he needed to personally ensure anymore.

He only needed to methodically plant fields and stockpile entries.

He was more suited to being a hands-off shopkeeper.

Qin Ming pondered for a moment, then addressed everyone:

"My nature is leisurely, and I desire to be a loose cultivator, having no intention of establishing my own force or creating a sect. However, the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm certainly cannot remain so disordered."

"How about this, a Four Nations Alliance shall be established in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm. Wei Wuya, you shall be the alliance leader, and as for Jin Country, it will be managed by Guu Qingzhao’s Mirror Snow Pavilion."

"Normally, each manages their own affairs. In major events, the alliance shall collectively address and respond."

With a few words, he settled the future framework of the Southern Wilderness.

"Yes! We will obey Master Wangyue’s decree!"

Everyone knew this well, even though Qin Ming appointed Wei Wuya as the leader of the Four Nations Alliance, the greatest controller was still Master Wangyue.

After all, in the cultivation realm, strength is respected.

After finalizing these matters, Qin Ming waved everyone off.

The Cyan Wood Pavilion returned to its former tranquility.

Immediately, Qin Ming asked the Heaven-Devouring Rat to call Mo Lingwei in.

Mo Lingwei felt anxious and tense upon being summoned alone by the legendary Nascent Soul True Monarch.

If Qin Ming intended to do something disgraceful, as a weak woman, she would have no ability to resist...

Her cleverness led her to vaguely guess Qin Ming’s purpose for keeping her.

Thinking of this, Mo Lingwei bit her lip slightly, stepping forward gracefully to bow and say, "Junior Mo Lingwei pays respect to True Monarch."

"Hmm, Fellow Daoist Mo, no need for too much courtesy."

"You should be aware of the reason I summoned you, right?" Qin Ming asked mildly.

Upon hearing this, the Heaven-Devouring Rat standing by was also puzzled.

It knew very well that its master was usually pure, with a steadfast Dao heart, uninterested in women.

He was a rare true gentleman, setting an example.

Today, after achieving Nascent Soul, could it be that he favored this beautiful fairy in front?

The next moment.

Mo Lingwei blushed, hesitated slightly, and responded tremulously:

"Master Wangyue, could it be... you are aware of my special constitution..."

Qin Ming looked at her with a calm gaze, like still water, and said:

"I naturally wouldn’t save you for no reason. If you had fallen into Master Lihuo’s hands,"

"Most likely, you’d be harvested for essence, and once you’re of no use... you should know what your fate would be."

"Are you truly endowed with a Phoenix Body?"

"Never mind, I shall inspect personally."

...

Upon hearing these words, even the Heaven-Devouring Rat blushed slightly.
