Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

The Demon Cult's gathering place was rarely seen filled with such an assembly of immortals, all gathered due to an invitation from the Blood Sea Ancestor.

Wei Dongliu's gaze swept over those present, committing to memory each person's title and distinctive features.

Mortal Life Path Sect Guardian, Blood Sea Ancestor.

Heavenly Demon Path Sect Guardian, the Carefree Ancestor.

Nether Ghost Path Sect Guardian, Honored White Bone.

These three sat in the chief seats, clearly signaling that they were the most powerful among all the immortals of the Demonic Path, rumored to be at the Realm of Daluo Golden Immortals.

Moreover, it was said that among these three, Honored White Bone was the strongest—he was the Direct Disciple of Lady Shiji's Colorful Cloud Daoist from the Intercepting Cult, having received the true Daoist Magic inheritance of the White Bone legacy from Skull Mountain.

The next in strength was the Carefree Ancestor who, according to the lineage, should belong to the lineage of Lady Sanxiao from the Intercepting Cult. Still, for some reason, she had only learned the numerous poisonous Secret Techniques for refining Demon Heads and had never been seen using any other Cultivation Technique.

As for the Mortal Life Path's Blood Sea Ancestor, he suffered a fundamental injury early on in his life, which meant his strength was limited to third place, leading him to turn to the Buddhist Sect in hopes of healing his fundamental injuries, thus his strength was comparatively weak.

Of course, these were all rumors without any basis; after all, immortals wouldn't announce "I am at the Realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal" or "I am stronger or weaker than someone else," so perhaps there were discrepancies with the facts.

Beyond these three, two other immortals occupied the secondary seats.

One was the King Aṣeṣa of Iron City Mountain from the Asura Path. Despite the unusual name, he was indeed an immortal who originated from the Western Cult and was one of the few living "living Buddhas".

The other was an old acquaintance of Wei Dongliu, a traitor from the Xu Family whose body had been possessed by the soul of Mad Dragon, now the Sect Guardian of the Eastern Emperor Path. From outward appearances, there were no traits of the Dragon Clan, appearing merely as an ordinary Human Race cultivator.

The remaining immortals were mostly of the Heavenly Immortal and Earth Immortal Realms, with a majority originating from the Six Paths, only establishing their own Sects after achieving immortality.

Only two were from vassal Sects of the Six Paths, and both were at the Earth Immortal Realm. As for immortal cultivators from a Loose Cultivist background who had never joined a Sect, there was not even one.

Hmm?

Wei Dongliu suddenly noticed that the Carefree Ancestor turned her head and exchanged a few words with someone behind her.

Even though it was a gathering of immortals, if there were disciples or juniors under one's tutelage, it wasn't a problem to bring them along; for example, the Blood Sea Ancestor brought Wei Dongliu himself along.

But the person behind the Carefree Ancestor, wasn't that Jiang Liyan?

She had returned to the Heavenly Demon Path?

Wait a minute... With her original Cultivation Level at the Foundation Establishment Realm, whether she joined the Heavenly Demon Path or betrayed Elder Cai E and fled, it probably wasn't likely for the Carefree Ancestor to have known about it, right?

So, was it because her Cultivation Realm had improved and she caught the eye of this Sect Guardian of the Heavenly Demon Path? Like how the Blood Sea Ancestor viewed me differently?

Could it be that she had formed a Second Grade, or even a First Grade Golden Core?

In an instant, countless thoughts raced through Wei Dongliu's head as he saw Jiang Li An lift her head to give him a charming smile, then she slipped away into a corner where she would draw less attention.

"Everyone," the Blood Sea Ancestor finally began to speak slowly, "I have invited you all here to discuss why our five paths have decided to besiege Shushan."

"Blood Sea," Honored White Bone reminded without a change in his expression.

Although he had only uttered the name, followed by an abrupt stop, Wei Dongliu could guess what the other intended to say.

The Four Swords of the Intercepting Cult were not common Eleventh Rank Immortal Swords; who wouldn't harbor desires for them?

If the immortals all knew the objective was to seek the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword, then the situation would become difficult to control afterward.

"I know my limits," replied the Blood Sea Ancestor.

Seeing that the Blood Sea Ancestor was quite confident, and the Free and Easy Ancestor said nothing beside him, the Honored White Bone could only retract his warning, but he felt a sense of foreboding inside.

Why would Blood Sea choose this moment to lay all his cards on the table?

Could it be… he had already found a clue to the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword and wanted to use the power of these immortals to make a final stand against Shushan?

Silent and contemplative, the Honored White Bone said nothing, while the Blood Sea Ancestor slowly composed himself and then spoke,

"This time, our five paths gathered around Shushan's periphery because we sensed traces of the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword."

No sooner had these words fallen than they stirred up a maelstrom of reaction, causing some of the immortals seated below to gasp in shock, while others leaned forward, hastily asking,

"Ancestor, are you referring to the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword, required for the formation of the Intercepting Cult's Immortal Slaying Sword Array?"

"That's right," the Blood Sea Ancestor nodded and replied.

"Has this sword fallen into Shushan's hands?" an immortal asked in a deep voice.

"It remains unknown," the Honored White Bone stated indifferently, "That is what we have come to ascertain."

"Then it could be possible!" The immortals began to discuss excitedly, and another asked,

"It is said that the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword is three feet, six inches, and two points long, with a deep grey surface like black iron, and sawtooth patterns running along both edges of the blade; is that so?"

"Exactly that." The Blood Sea Ancestor gave Wei Dongliu a meaningful look, who immediately understood the cue and took out the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword.

"Ah!" The immortals looked on curiously, remarking to themselves so this is what the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword looks like.

However, the Honored White Bone was stunned for a moment, and then slowly his eyes widened to an expression of extreme astonishment.

His reaction was immensely satisfying to the Blood Sea Ancestor, whose prior embarrassment in Wei Dongliu's presence vanished without a trace when he saw his old friend's similar expression.

Regrettably, the Free and Easy Ancestor merely opened his eyes to glance at it before closing them to continue cultivating, slightly disappointing the Blood Sea Ancestor.

Soon, the immortals present noticed the Honored White Bone's unusual behavior.

Nobody there was a fool. Although they had not caught on at first, by now, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword... had already been acquired by the Blood Sea Ancestor's Mortal Life Path!

"Dong Liu," the Blood Sea Ancestor said contentedly, "Please recount in detail to the elders the process through which you acquired this sword."

Wei Dongliu gave a slight nod and spun out a well-prepared excuse, claiming he was traveling near a plateau when he suddenly heard the sound of a sword's cry and saw the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword flying through the air. He chased after it and engaged in an arduous battle, eventually managing to completely suppress and subdue it…

The Honored White Bone was dumbfounded on the side: What does this mean? The Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword was unearthed on the southwestern plateau, and you just happened to be traveling nearby?

Who would travel on a plateau! It would be much more believable if you said you were following a clue to the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword and purposefully went there!

He cast a glance toward Ashoka, King of the Asura Path, and saw that at this moment, the latter looked pensively regretful.

Indeed, it would be most likely for the cultivators of the Asura Path to discover the sword unearthed on the plateau, yet the Mortal Life Path had snatched away the advantage, so it was natural for him to feel regret.

The Honored White Bone sneered inwardly, then shifted his gaze to the Free and Easy Ancestor.

With the Blood Sea Ancestor declaring the ownership of the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword in public, unless the other immortals truly intended to declare enmity, it was nearly impossible to snatch it from the hands of the Mortal Life Path now.

However, when it came to burning bridges, considering the Free and Easy Ancestor's infamous stinginess, the possibility of him causing a sudden ruckus could not be dismissed…

The Honored White Bone waited expectantly, only to see the Free and Easy Ancestor remain composed and silent, leaving him deeply disappointed.
