My Optimized Immortal Life

Ding Zhenzong.

After the fight ended, everyone returned to the sect. Along the way, the atmosphere was quite subtle, mainly due to Chan Ding's ever-changing expression. The elders around were all frightened. Although they all knew that Chan Ding had already anticipated the outcome of the fight, they were afraid that he would get angry and vent his anger on them.

Everyone returned to the sect's main hall, and Chan Ding immediately summoned the sect's elders to discuss the follow-up matters regarding this battle.

Elders who did not participate in this fight, such as Bai Jun and others, were all summoned together.

In the main hall, Chan Ding sat on the main seat, and the other elders stood on both sides of him. Chan Ding's face looked ugly, but his words were quite calm.

"In this battle, our sect was badly defeated. We lost four of the six matches, tied one, and won one. However, I had anticipated this result..."

After a pause, he glanced at the people below in a Zen manner, and then continued speaking.

"We lost the duel, and our sect has to pay a total of three resource points. Although these three resource points are not those key locations, it is still a considerable loss. The Chiyu Sect only has two resource points, and both are fire resource points, which are useless to our sect. I wonder what the elders think about how our sect can recover the losses next."

After the words fell, many elders of Dingzhen Sect looked at each other, and then Jinxia stepped forward from the crowd and spoke loudly.

"Master, although our sect has lost three resource points, it is not a serious loss and does not affect the foundation. In my opinion, we should rest and recuperate and try to avoid conflicts with the six sects. Only then can we continue to seek other resources after our sect recovers."

Hearing this, Chan Ding nodded. Jin Xia was one of the most senior elders in his Dingzhen Sect, and his cultivation was also outstanding. Most of the time, his opinions were adopted by him.

After Jinxia finished speaking, several elders expressed their opinions, most of which were to let Dingzhenzong recuperate and avoid conflict, but this was not the answer that Chanding wanted.

"Rest and recuperation is indeed good, but the reason why our sect was defeated in the battle is not only because the opponent was a monster, but also because the elders were a little slack in their cultivation."

Upon hearing this, the elders below couldn't help but look bitter, especially Chen Yang. Although he knew that he was defeated because Liu Yun had the help of the Seven Illusion Treasure Tree, his own practice was indeed insufficient. If his pupil technique could be improved, he might be able to see through the illusion and detect the whereabouts of his true body. In this way, he would still have a chance to win before Liu Yun took out the Seven Illusion Treasure Tree.

Ignoring the expressions of the elders, Chan Ding continued to speak.

"For the next three years, I will activate the Dao patterns for each elder every seven days. How much you can comprehend from them will depend on your own comprehension abilities."

After saying this, Chan Ding turned around and left, walking out of the sect’s main hall.

After Chan Ding left, the elders' expressions immediately changed from sadness to joy.

As elders of the sect and all of them were Nascent Soul cultivators, they naturally knew about the power of Dao patterns. Many of them had tried to comprehend the Dao patterns, but from observing this battle, it could be seen that in such a large Dingzhen Sect, apart from meditation, no one had comprehended even a little bit of Dao patterns and could activate some of the power of Dao patterns.

Of course, this does not mean that the elders of Dingzhen Sect are not talented.

In fact, those who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage are geniuses among ten thousand, but the Dao patterns are too obscure. Even these cultivators who have shown amazing talents in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment periods have failed in the comprehension of Dao patterns.

In the entire southern part of the Central Region, within the jurisdiction of the Linxian Pavilion, there are nearly a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators. Among them, except for the cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage and the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Linxian Pavilion, only Dong Yan, who is in the middle Nascent Soul stage, can use the Five Elements magic to activate the power of Dao patterns and bless himself.

This is also the main reason why he was able to lead the Dingzhen Sect to prosperity and gain a say in the alliance of six sects.

Being able to activate Dao patterns in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul shows that Dong Yan is extremely talented, even surpassing many Nascent Souls in the Central Region. And now, there is one more such person.

Even cultivators like Bai Jun who had never been there already knew the outcome of the fight, and some even knew the details of the process.

For example, Bai Jun was quite good friends with Jin Xia and they had a close relationship. After asking around, he learned that Chen Qing had defeated Jin Xia. Then he heard Jin Xia's comments about Chen Qing, and he immediately felt relieved.

That time he went alone to fight with the Luoying Sect in an attempt to seize the Jade Bamboo Forest. Fortunately, the person he ran into in the end was Chen Qing, his Taoist companion, and not himself. Even if he was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul who could activate the Dao patterns, he would not dare to say that he would be able to win. If he had gone, the result would be self-evident.

On the other side, Chan Ding left the sect's main hall and walked straight out of Dingzhen Sect and came to a secret place where several people were already waiting for him.

Seeing Chan Ding coming, someone spoke first, interrupting Chan Ding's words.

"This battle was indeed a mistake in our sect's intelligence. I didn't expect that Lie Yu from the Luoying Sect could actually activate some of the Dao patterns. This talent is even more astonishing than Dong Yan's."

After saying this, Chan Ding snorted coldly and was not going to let this person go.

"Because of your intelligence error, my sect has lost three resource points. Your sect must compensate for this loss."

Hearing this, the man's face immediately turned ugly. After thinking for a moment, he finally agreed.

"Yes, but my sect can only compensate your sect with one resource point, and the rest can be replaced with other spiritual materials. How do you think?"

Zending nodded, and the expression on his face immediately calmed down. Then he continued to speak.

"Lie Yu from the Luoying Sect has amazing talent and is very likely to be accepted into the Linxian Pavilion. Therefore, we must not play any tricks on him from now on."

As soon as these words were spoken, several monks here agreed.

They suppressed the Luoying Sect at the beginning because they did not want to see the Six Sects Alliance continue to grow into the Seven Sects Alliance. They did not expect that Chen Qing's talent was so amazing that he could activate the Dao Pattern in the early Nascent Soul stage. A cultivator with such talent was not someone they could easily offend.

"Now that Luoying Sect has become a member of the Seven Sects Alliance, the relationship is quite close. In the competition three hundred years from now, we will probably have one less seat. I wonder if you have any suggestions?"

Hearing this, someone spoke up.

"Lie Yu was able to activate Dao patterns in the early Nascent Soul stage. He was nearly invincible in the Nascent Soul stage. It was no wonder that Lei Yuan from Linxian Pavilion was defeated by him. I'm afraid that none of your sects can match him. Therefore, you can abandon your plans for Lie Yu and turn to targeting other cultivators."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present, including Chan Ding, nodded in agreement. This was the only solution now. After all, Lie Yu's strength was truly terrifying. After three hundred years, he was estimated to have entered the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Judging from his talent in activating Dao patterns in the early stage, he would probably be only a little away from comprehending Dao patterns in the middle stage. This was something that those middle stage Nascent Soul cultivators in their sect could not match.
