Chapter 1457 - 1469: Seeking Immortality (34)
The reason why the great sects can have many elite disciples is due to the deep foundation accumulated by the sects. Simply put, it’s all about resource competition....
Those Tang family members are like dogs with a keen nose, they’re everywhere, and they especially love to meddle in other people’s business.
Want to destroy them, but can’t, fight them but it’s not enough, and their tongues are sharper.... What can one do, just have to endure it.
However, it’s not without any benefits. The elite disciples who grow under oppression are obviously more stable than those from earlier times, having been forged firmly.
Isn’t it forging? Whenever they think of these bitter matters, the other three great sects can’t help but blame the Sky Sword Sect.
Especially Yuntai Venerable. If it weren’t for his scandal involving the Tang family, which set off hostilities between the two parties, how else would the Tang family have specifically targeted the four great sects to fleece?
A master and disciple in love, persecuting a disciple, committing such disgraceful acts, he didn’t end well himself.
It’s heard that Yuntai Venerable’s cultivation has stalled, with a heart demon appearing. He’s likely to be without fate for the Mahayana in this life.
His little disciple didn’t fare well either, being taken away by the Demon King and the Demon King, with an agreement to share the girl.
When cultivators fall into the hands of the Alien Clan, there’s never a good outcome.
Yet, just three years later, it’s heard that Yuntai Venerable’s little disciple was thrown out of the Demon Realm, her body weak beyond compare.
Just as everyone thought they would remain under the shadow of the Tang family’s fear for a long time, one day, a large Secret Realm opened, and surprisingly, the Tang family members didn’t show up to compete.
To say this was an exception, after that, no one heard any more news about the Tang family.
They disappeared just as suddenly as they had appeared.
Some said they sailed across the Black Dead Sea, and now they’ve sailed back.
However, not many people believed this rumor.
It’s well known that the closer you get to the Dead Sea, the more depleted the Spiritual Power becomes. It’s said that beyond the Black Dead Sea is a Land of Absolute Spirit.
The Spiritual Energy is so thin that to a cultivator, it feels like being stripped naked, and no one would want to willingly venture there.

"Hey, finally back." As soon as Uncle Deaf returned, he busily ordered people to clean the house.
Although maintained by an array, making the house look like new, Uncle Deaf felt that furniture and floors not cleaned with water looked soulless, appearing clean, yet somehow awkward.
In the Cultivation World, they stayed for a hundred years.
In a hundred years, their group traveled the entire Cultivation World, harvesting many fabulous treasures.
Those little children from back then have grown into big turnips now.
Unexpectedly, these kids have self-taught themselves to start an internal trade model.
On that day, out of twenty-two children, evenly divided between boys and girls, they were all paired up as partners.
They adhered to a strict rule of keeping resources within the family.
However, Su Li thought a bit and found it quite understandable.
In a way, these rather peculiarly grown big turnips... how to evaluate them...
According to the West Sea Continent people who encountered them, it’s somewhat indescribable.
Due to their unique odd attributes, it’s really hard for them to venture outside instead of internalizing.
A hundred years have passed, and the once Xilin Dynasty is no more, replaced by the Song Dynasty, which is now in its prime.
Anything new represents hope.
A hundred years ago, after the disappearance of the Tang Residence, there followed a three-year chaos period, followed by the rise of the founding Emperor of the Song Dynasty, who strongly quelled the internal unrest.
And in the original location of the Tang Residence, Su Li discovered an Immortal Temple built by someone there.
The incense wasn’t particularly thriving, but locals frequently came to pray for children or marriage.
Su Li didn’t move the Immortal Temple, only relocated the Tang Residence next to it.
In the Cultivation World, they acquired many wonderful things, with Su Li planting various Immortal Herbs and Immortal Flowers in Lin City, growing resiliently like wild grass.
The townsfolk didn’t notice anything unusual, only feeling that the air suddenly became fresher, their bodies much lighter.
Another hundred years slipped by.
Meditating in the Tang Residence, Su Li suddenly opened her eyes as if sensing something.
The same movement was mirrored by another twenty-five Mahayana Realm cultivators within the Tang Residence.
Oh, right, Tang Xiaoying never left since they first met; she followed them across the Dead Sea back to the Xilin Dynasty.
------------
At the same moment, the boundary of the Xilin Dynasty was forcibly breached with a Magical Treasure.
Someone leapt across the Black Dead Sea, directly entering the Xilin Dynasty.
Su Li’s Divine Sense swept over these people and found that there were quite a few of them.
But they seemed to be divided into several distinct groups.
"Damn it, where have we landed? It seems we’re not in the Secret Realm anymore, right?"
"I think... it seems like the Mortal World?"
"Feng Liyan, it’s all your fault; if it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have fallen to such a state."
"It was just a competition, a matter of skill, how can you blame anyone?"
"Our Demon God Palace will not let this go."
"Likewise."
Twelve people in total, divided into three teams, each wearing tokens, appearing to participate in some trial competition, unintentionally falling into this world.
"Wait a minute, I feel something different. How can the Mortal World have such abundant and rich Spiritual Energy?" Feng Liyan inhaled deeply and slowly said, "Even the West Sea Continent’s Spiritual Energy hasn’t reached such a concentration."
"Be cautious, to guard against anything unusual."
Feng Liyan’s good intentions were not appreciated by everyone, with Lan Bingyu dismissing it, arrogantly saying, "Why such caution? This place should be the Mortal World across the sea from the West Sea Continent, just a Lower Realm land, what’s there to fear for us. Our enemies are only among ourselves."
"No wonder you are the right-hand disciple of the Righteous Path, didn’t expect the Demon Clan Saint Heir to show fear first." Guan Zhishan sneered sarcastically.
Feng Liyan remained unperturbed, smiling faintly, "Better to be safe than sorry."
Lan Bingyu: "Let’s find it then. Since the Demon Realm’s Supreme Treasure brought us here, it indicates that there must be something we need here."
Guan Zhishan laughed darkly, "No need to make it so complicated. Just capture the Emperor of the Mortal World, decree our orders, and without much effort, the people of the Lower Realm will do it for us."
"Wait...." Lan Bingyu’s expression suddenly changed as an iron shell-like sphere leapt from her bosom, with a pair of delicate wings, suddenly speeding off in one direction.
Heading directly towards Lin City.
"Quickly follow it." Lan Bingyu led her people in hot pursuit after the iron sphere.
Guan Zhishan and Feng Liyan followed afterward.
The closer they got to Lin City, the more they felt a terrifying life force rushing towards them.
Hovering faintly in mid-air, looking down, everyone started to suffocate.
Stunned....
