Chapter 538: Longyuan Immortal Alliance
As the fame of the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world grew increasingly prominent, its influence began to spread into the deeper reaches of the Tianji Shengyu.
Under the guidance of Longling and Heavenly Pivot True Person, the sect's disciples began a more systematic and rigorous cultivation, their strength and cultivation level rising at a visible pace.
In the sect's Cangjingge, ancient texts were examined one by one, new cultivation methods and spells were unearthed, offering the disciples more cultivation options.
In the pill refinery, alchemists tirelessly refined various spirit pills and elixirs, providing strong support for the disciples' cultivation.
On the training grounds, disciples sweated as they practiced sword techniques, cultivated spells, or tempered their physical bodies.
Every breakthrough and success was accompanied by cheers and applause, inspiring more disciples to strive forward.
As their strength grew, the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world began sending disciples out for training, leaving their traces in every corner of the Tianji Shengyu.
These trainings not only broadened the disciples' horizons but also accumulated precious combat experience for them.
During one such training expedition, a young disciple accidentally discovered an ancient relic containing a long-lost cultivation secret manual.
The discovery of this secret manual brought new cultivation methods to the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world, further boosting the sect's strength.
As the news spread, the fame of the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world soared, attracting more cultivators to seek refuge; the sect would not only not privately seize treasures obtained by disciples in the Tianji Shengyu, but would also reward such discoveries.
This extraordinary move opened a new era, moving countless cultivators of the Huanyu to emotion.
With the Longyuan Immortal Sect, the sect's scale continued to expand, and the number of disciples grew steadily.
Longling and Heavenly Pivot True Person began drafting stricter sect rules to ensure order and proper conduct among disciples.
As time passed, the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world achieved notable success in cultivation and secured a position in the political landscape of the Tianji Shengyu.
The sect's disciples began participating in various alliances and conflicts, appearing in the clashes of major powers, gaining more benefits and influence for the sect.
In a clash with the Nine Wheels and Eight Great Sects, the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world displayed great strength and united resolve.
Under Longling's leadership, the sect's disciples successfully repelled the enemy's attack and achieved victory in battle.
This battle not only consolidated the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world's position in the Tianji Shengyu but also gave other powers a new understanding of its strength.
After the battle, the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world held a grand celebration, with disciples gathering together to jointly celebrate the victory.
Longling encouraged the disciples to continue striving, constantly improving themselves, and contributing to the sect's future development.
As the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world continued to grow, it became an undeniable force in the Tianji Shengyu, with its influence and sphere of influence continually expanding.
Longling and Heavenly Pivot True Person understood that the sect's long-term development required not only great strength but also wisdom and strategy.
Thus, they began cultivating the next generation of cultivator leaders to ensure the sect's future prosperity.
In the sect's council hall, Longling gathered the core disciples to discuss future development directions.
He proposed a bold plan—establishing a cross-sect alliance, uniting other powers in the Tianji Shengyu to jointly maintain peace and order in the Tianji Shengyu.
"Friends, although the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world is strong, fighting alone is ultimately not a long-term strategy." Longling's voice echoed in the hall, "We need to form alliances with other sects to jointly resist external threats and maintain the balance of the Tianji Shengyu."
Heavenly Pivot True Person added: "Establishing the alliance can strengthen our strength and promote exchange and cooperation among sects."
The disciples unanimously expressed agreement, recognizing this as a plan capable of pushing the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world to new heights.
Thus, the sect began sending envoys to other sects in the Tianji Shengyu to convey the alliance's intention.
Under Longling's leadership, the envoys of the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world won the trust of other sects through sincerity and strength.
Some sects were attracted by the rise of the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world and wished to join the alliance.
While some sects that had previously held a wait-and-see attitude toward the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world, upon seeing the alliance's potential, decided to join; the alliance was named the Longxian Alliance.
As the alliance gradually formed, the pattern of the Tianji Shengyu began to change.
Originally scattered sects began uniting to jointly face the challenges of the Nine Wheels and Eight Great Sects and the Huanyu Great Teaching.
The alliance's power gave cultivators in the Tianji Shengyu hope, leading them to believe that even powerful external enemies could not easily shake them.
At the alliance's first grand assembly, Longling was elected as the alliance's leader, standing on the high platform, facing representatives from various sects, and delivering an impassioned speech.
"Fellow cultivators, today standing here is not only for our own sects, but also for the future of the entire Tianji Shengyu." Longling's voice was firm and powerful, "We will join hands and advance together to jointly create a peaceful and prosperous cultivation environment."
The establishment of the alliance further solidified the position of the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world.
Under the alliance's protection, the sect's disciples could cultivate more peacefully and also had opportunities to exchange and learn with cultivators from other sects, improving their cultivation level.
As time passed, the influence of the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world and the alliance continued to expand.
Some distant cultivators, hearing of the alliance's deeds, came forward to seek refuge, hoping to join this powerful alliance.
At the time when the influence of the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world was at its peak, the ancient sages Zhi Dun and Li Bai, after breaking through the Original God Realm, stepped from the Earth Longyuan Immortal Mountain into the territory of Huhu City.
Their arrival was like stars falling into the mortal world, causing quite a stir.
These ancient sages, who had left bold marks in Earth's history, are now also renowned in the cultivation world.
Zhi Dun, this high monk of the Eastern Jin period, with his profound Buddhist cultivation and extraordinary insight, broke through the shackles of the Original God Realm.
And Li Bai, this Tang dynasty poetry immortal, with his unrestrained poetic talent and swordsmanship, possessed both the elegance of a literati and the heroism of a swordsman.
Their arrival coincided with the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world being at its peak.
In the sect, Earth cultivator leaders Qin Shi Huang, Zhenyang True Person, Golden Peng King, and Tiger King were gathered together discussing how to further expand the sect's influence.
"Friends, given the current mighty momentum of the Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world, this is an excellent opportunity to win over the hearts of countless Huanyu cultivators and secure territory in the Tianji Shengyu." Qin Shi Huang stood in the center of the council hall, his voice revealing an undeniable authority.
Zhenyang True Person stroked his long beard and nodded: "Your Majesty's words are absolutely correct; now that the sect's strength is formidable, it is the time to expand influence and consolidate foundations."
Golden Peng King, this cultivator renowned for speed and strength, flashed a sharp light in his eyes: "We should seize this momentum to swiftly strike out, occupy those unclaimed lands, and lay a solid foundation for the sect's long-term development."
Tiger King then said in a deep voice: "Not only must we occupy territory, but we must also win hearts; only when cultivators sincerely submit can our strength be solidified and we stand firm in the Tianji Shengyu for the long term."
At this moment, Zhi Dun and Li Bai were led by Xuanzhen True Person into the council hall.
"The arrival of these two ancient sages is truly a great fortune for our Longyuan Immortal Sect beyond the world." Qin Shi Huang said with a smile, "We are currently discussing how to further expand the sect's influence, and your arrival will surely provide us with valuable advice."
Zhenyang True Person also nodded: "Zhi Dun's Buddhist cultivation and Li Bai Daoist's poetic talent and swordsmanship are both precious treasures for our sect. The plan will surely proceed more smoothly."
Afterwards, everyone sat down again to begin a detailed discussion on how to utilize the sect's current momentum to win over the hearts of countless Huanyu cultivators and secure territory in the Tianji Shengyu.
"We should strengthen the sect's internal construction, improve disciples' cultivation conditions and treatment, so they feel the sect's warmth and care." Zhi Dun said, "Only with internal stability can we expand outward."
After hearing this, Li Bai nodded in agreement: "The master's words are absolutely correct; we can also hold some exchange activities, inviting cultivators from other sects to come and interact, thereby enhancing friendship and expanding influence."
"We can also establish some cultivation competitions, giving disciples from various sects the opportunity to showcase their talents, thus both selecting talent and enhancing the sect's reputation." Zhenyang True Person added.
After Qin Shi Huang pondered, he said, "It would be better to establish some outposts in the Tianji Shengyu as branches of the sect, so as to control more resources and territory."
The Golden Peng King and the Tiger King also proposed some specific action plans, including sending elite disciples out for training, forming alliances with other sects, and building defensive fortifications in key areas to protect the sect's interests.
After a heated discussion, everyone finally reached a consensus.
They decided that, on one hand, they would strengthen the sect's internal construction and improve the disciples' cultivation conditions and treatment;
on the other hand, through cultural exchanges and cultivation competitions, they would establish friendly relations with other sects and expand their influence;
at the same time, they would also establish outposts in the Tianji Shengyu to control resources and territory.
In the following months, the Tianwai Longyuan Immortal Sect began a series of actions, strengthening the sect's internal construction and improving the disciples' cultivation conditions and treatment, making the sect's disciples more united and loyal.
At the same time, the sect began to hold some cultural exchange activities and cultivation competitions, inviting cultivators from other sects to participate.
These activities not only enhanced friendship between the sect and other sects, but also made the reputation of the Tianwai Longyuan Immortal Sect even greater.
In the Tianji Shengyu, the sect also began to establish some outposts as branches of the sect.
These outposts not only controlled more resources and territory, but also provided more training opportunities for the sect's disciples.
With the passage of time, the influence of the Tianwai Longyuan Immortal Sect grew larger and larger, attracting more and more cultivators to join the sect.
Some were attracted by the sect's reputation, some were subdued by the sect's strength, and some were influenced by the sect's culture.
Under the leadership of Longling and the Heavenly Pivot True Person, the Tianwai Longyuan Immortal Sect and the Longyuan Immortal Alliance not only established a firm foothold in the Tianji Shengyu.
Under the protection of the sect, the sect's disciples can cultivate more peacefully, and at the same time have the opportunity to communicate and learn with cultivators from other sects to improve their cultivation level.
However, this rapid rise also aroused the dissatisfaction and jealousy of some major powers.
These powers have a strong Huanyu background behind them, and they began to secretly trip up the disciples of the Longyuan Immortal Sect, even adding harm, in an attempt to curb the development momentum of the Longyuan Immortal Sect.
During an outing for training by the sect's disciples, several disciples encountered an ambush by cultivators of unknown identity while passing through a forbidden area named the Youming Forest.
These cultivators were strong in strength and ruthless in their attacks, clearly coming prepared.
Although the disciples of the Longyuan Immortal Sect resisted desperately, several of them still suffered serious injuries.
The news returned to the sect, causing a great commotion. Longling and the Heavenly Pivot True Person immediately summoned the core disciples to discuss countermeasures.
"This is clearly someone deliberately targeting our sect. We must uncover the truth and strike back." The Tiger King's voice revealed a hint of anger.
The Heavenly Pivot True Person said in a deep voice: "These attackers' methods are cruel and their actions secretive. We must strengthen the disciples' safety protection and at the same time send out elite disciples to investigate."
"The monk believes we should remain calm and not let anger cloud our judgment. The purpose of these attackers is to provoke us and make us lose our reason." Zhi Dun said slowly with his palms together.
Li Bai then snorted coldly: "These petty scoundrels dare to lay hands on our sect's disciples. They must pay the price."
"We can secretly send some elite disciples, disguise them as ordinary cultivators, mix into those major powers, and investigate their movements." Zhenren Ziyang suggested, "At the same time, we should also strengthen the sect's defenses to prevent similar attacks from happening again."
After the sect's emergency meeting ended, the disciples of the Longyuan Immortal Sect began to take action.
A part of the elite disciples, under the leadership of Zhenren Ziyang, secretly infiltrated the territories of those major powers and began to gather intelligence.
They acted covertly, like ghosts in the night, moving silently through the enemy's territory, attempting to uncover the truth behind the attacks.
After several days of investigation and lurking, they finally discovered a shocking secret.
The major powers behind those forces actually had a deeper plot, planning to use their subordinates' forces to entangle the Longyuan Immortal Sect and the Longyuan Immortal Alliance, while they themselves would take the opportunity to enter the core area of the Tianji Shengyu, explore the ruins of a recently born celestial holy land, hoping to find the legendary treasure and cultivation resources within.
This celestial holy land is said to be the cultivation place of a powerful cultivator from ancient times, the creator of the Tianji Shengyu, containing endless secrets and treasures.
With the emergence of the holy land, countless major powers went mad, hoping to obtain an opportunity to break through their own cultivation level within it.
The elite disciples of the Longyuan Immortal Sect realized that this information was crucial to the sect, and immediately brought the news back to the sect so that Longling and the Heavenly Pivot True Person could make corresponding countermeasures.
In a secret meeting at midnight, Zhenren Ziyang reported this shocking discovery to Longling and the Heavenly Pivot True Person.
After hearing it, Longling furrowed his brows tightly, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
If those major powers successfully entered the holy land, they would not only obtain huge resources, but might also become even stronger because of it, which would undoubtedly be a great threat to the Longyuan Immortal Sect.
The Heavenly Pivot True Person pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Since it is the ruins of a holy land, then the treasure also has a share for us."
