Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

The selection of outer disciples from all peaks and departments of the Dongting Immortal Sect has already concluded.

On the Spirit Field side, spirit farmers without backing or background have decreased by a full quarter; most of these people have been incorporated into the outer dispatch list and will soon head to the mortal world.

At this moment, the Dongting Immortal Sect presents a kind of strange tranquility.

Core members and high-level personnel who can ascend the mountain have mostly remained on the various immortal peaks; ordinary members who cannot ascend the mountain have either been dispatched to the mortal world or arranged at outposts on the sect's outer perimeter.

Everyone understands clearly that the calamity a hundred years from now cannot be avoided; all current arrangements are for the sake of the future.

After handling the Spirit Field and Lingqu Sect preparation matters, Xu Zhangqing finally freed up time to prepare to check the situation of the Tai Xu Lie Yuan.

He casually found a place with no one, then closed his eyes.

The scene shifted; through vision sharing he saw everything clearly.

Xu Zixiao was still in the shop, having hardly gone out at all; every day she sold top-grade spirit rice of various attributes, or rare top-grade spirit plants.

Business was doing alright; there were many regular customers.

Out of safety considerations, she never expanded operations.

This time's gains were decent: two hundred Dragon Marrow Crystals, three hundred Zi Blood Ore Stones.

As for other types of ore, spiritual treasures, the quantities were also not bad.

Converted to middle-grade spirit stones, approximately three hundred thousand; the amount fluctuated slightly.

Just as Xu Zhangqing prepared to withdraw, a brilliant spiritual light suddenly appeared in the sky above the Tai Xu Lie Yuan; it rapidly formed a pillar of light, reaching straight to the horizon.

Xu Zhangqing urged: "Quick, go out and look!"

Xu Zixiao immediately ran out the door, stood on the street, then raised her head to gaze upward.

The surrounding people, with almost identical movements, all curiously watched.

After a while, two figures were seen drifting past from within the light pillar.

One male, one female.

The male appeared not old in years, features immature, expression indifferent.

The female appeared not young, tall and slender, veiled in a face gauze.

"This is guiding spirit light; the Three Purifications Alliance has sent reinforcements?"

"After the incident last time, the Three Purifications Alliance kept a low profile for a very long time!"

"Unknown; which faction has come this time?"

Finally, under everyone's witness, the two descended into the Three Purifications Alliance's Qing Yu Yun Ya.

Xu Zhangqing witnessed this scene and raised an eyebrow: "As expected, it's Master and Eldest Senior Sister!"

Initially, he had suspicions; where could Master go after leaving the sect?

Unexpectedly, a casual check actually led to a discovery!

Master and Eldest Senior Sister entered the San Yuan Mi Luo Tian, and moreover joined the Three Purifications Alliance's Qing Yu Yun Ya.

From departing the sect to arriving at the Tai Xu Lie Yuan took a full half year; one can imagine how distant the Tianyuan Realm is.

Fortunately, it is finally confirmed that the Dongting Immortal Sect is the Three Purifications Alliance's Qing Yu Yun Ya.

However, it is strange: why didn't the sect set up a teleportation array here?

Still need to leave the Tianyuan Realm, then use guiding spirit light?

There must be a reason for this!

……

……

Time flies like a white colt through a crevice; in a flash three years have passed.

In these three years, Xu Zhangqing fulfilled the duties of Spirit Field Office farming and Qingmu Peak Acting Peak Master on one hand, while secretly advancing the construction of the Lingqu Sect on the other.

This day, the day of Chao Jin succeeding to the Sect Leader Position finally arrived.

Above the immortal sect, countless spiritual lights flickered; cultivators from all major cultivation sects and powers arrived driving various flying magic tools; the scene was extremely grand.

And outside the Xingqiong Hall, a rainbow bridge spanned the air, likewise welcoming guests from all directions.

The Longhu Immortal Sect this time sent Vice Sect Master Zhao Tianxiong; he wore a golden robe, his figure imposing, his aura pressing.

Beside him followed two people, one male and one female.

The female's appearance was delicate and pretty, dressed in a pink skirt, named Zhao Xuan.

The male's features were handsome, his bearing rather arrogant, named Fenglong.

The Yao Yue Immortal Sect was led by Immortal Maiden Qingyue; she wore a moon-colored long dress, her temperament cold and clear, like an exiled immortal beneath the moon.

Beside her likewise followed two people, seemingly both women.

One was Hua Nian Tang, a man dressed as a woman.

The other wore a blue dress, appearance pure and innocent.

Xu Zhangqing recognized her at a glance: "Isn't this Long Xiyao?"

Not seen for decades, the other party is still that beautiful.

Now she looks much more mature, exuding full charm.

However, the person who surprised Xu Zhangqing the most was still Qingxuan of the Hidden World Dao Sect's Qingyun Sect.

The two had been old friends for decades, but hadn't seen each other in a long time.

Unexpectedly, this time Chao Jin succeeded to the Sect Leader Position, and the other party was able to represent Qingyun Sect in attending.

Now clad in a green robe, he still bore that same carefree and unrestrained appearance, with an extremely stunning woman following beside him.

She wore a fiery skirt, her skin fairer than snow, her countenance peerless.

A pair of eyes like autumn waters, bright and radiant with every glance.

Most eye-catching of all, behind this woman were nine fluffy fox tails, colored like blood, covered in golden patterns.

This — was actually a nine-tailed fox from the fox demon clan.

Peerless beauty, instantly attracting everyone's gaze.

"Tsk tsk tsk... A nine-tailed fox!"

"That's a Demon God bloodline, very strong!"

"Heard that this Qingyun Sect's Dao Son favors female demons greatly!"

Many cultivators discussed in low voices, envying Qingxuan for having such a peerless demon race Dao Companion.

At this moment, Qingxuan brought his Dao Companion and actively sought out Xu Changqing: "Brother Changqing, long time no see!"

Xu Changqing gave a slight smile: "Brother Qingxuan, indeed long time no see!"

Qingxuan looked him up and down, then exclaimed in admiration: "Unexpected, after so many years, you've actually become one of the High Level of an Immortal Sect!"

Dongting Immortal Sect has two places for receiving guests.

One is the Flower Sea Market, that side is lively and spacious.

One is Xingqiong Hall; though there aren't many people, every single one has an extraordinary background.

Either an Immortal Sect Vice Sect Master, or a Hidden World Dao Sect's Dao Son.

Not a True Disciple or Core Member, simply no Qualification to enter.

Xu Changqing was quite modest, explaining: "Master isn't here, I'm just acting in his stead."

Qingxuan laughed: "Sooner or later it'll happen."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, Xu Changqing's gaze fell on the nine-tailed fox, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes, then he teased: "Brother Qingxuan, didn't expect that on the road of finding a demon race Dao Companion, you've already gone past the point of no return!"

Qingxuan laughed heartily, then put his arm around the nine-tailed fox beside him, laughing: "This is my second Dao Companion, named Hu Yao.

The way of Dao Companions values mutual affection and understanding, why care about race distinctions?

Human Race or Demon Race alike, as long as hearts connect, that's enough!"

Hu Yao nodded slightly toward Xu Changqing, voice clear and pleasant: "Welcome, Peak Master Xu."

Xu Changqing cupped hands in return: "Immortal Maiden is too polite."

Qingxuan suddenly leaned forward and winked: "If you're interested, I can introduce you.

Yao Er still has several elder sisters and younger sisters, each one a peerless beauty, and cultivation not low either."

Xu Changqing waved his hand: "No need."

In his youth, he indeed had thoughts in this Aspect.

But now he's already sixty-four, long since lost the passion of those days.

What's more, demon race physique is special; one careless moment and you'd be harvested for yin to replenish yang.

Seeing this, Qingxuan spoke no further: "Then won't force it."

At this moment, the Immortal Sect was already bustling with voices, Sect Masters, Vice Sect Masters, and Great Elders of various major sects taking their seats one after another, waiting for the Succession Ceremony to begin!
