Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The night was dark as ink, silver radiance scattered everywhere.

Moonlight passed through the spirit wood window lattices, casting mottled sparse shadows on the smooth jade bricks.

At this moment, Xu Zhangqing and Ruo Qunshuang both lay on the cool spirit jade bed.

Ruo Qunshuang spoke softly: "Qing Ge, before long you will turn one hundred years old.

Have you ever thought about how we should celebrate?"

Xu Zhangqing looked at his Dao Companion's profile beside him, his left fingertips lightly brushing the strands of hair at her temple, and said in a calm tone: "A mere hundred years; to a cultivator, it is just a stage.

Golden Core cultivators have lifespans starting at five hundred years.

Therefore this bit of age does not count as any major birthday.

In my view, there is no need for a grand affair; gather familiar relatives, friends, disciples, and senior brothers and sisters together, eat a meal of spirit food, drink a few cups of spirit wine, make it lively — that is enough."

Ruo Qunshuang nodded: "Good, I'll listen to you in everything; I'll start preparations tomorrow."

Xu Zhangqing was silent for a moment, then still took the initiative to speak, relaying the Xingqiong Hall's resolution: "Today at Xingqiong Hall, the sect decided on a major matter."

Ruo Qunshuang raised her eyes to look at him, asking as if to confirm: "What matter?"

Xu Zhangqing said seriously: "Dongting Immortal Sect has split apart!"

Ruo Qunshuang's whole body shook, she widened her eyes in disbelief: "Split apart?

This is one of the Three Great Immortal Sects of Tianyuan Realm, how could it..."

In her understanding, even if other cultivation sects, powers, or clans split apart, or are completely destroyed, it is possible.

But Dongting Immortal Sect, as one of the Three Great Immortal Sects, is an existence that transcends the entire Tianyuan Realm.

Unexpectedly, such a situation would actually occur; it is truly inconceivable.

Xu Zhangqing gave an explanation: "The hidden danger underground can hold out for five years at most.

Once the seal breaks, the sect's old site will certainly become a dead land.

The high-level elders have no intention of solving it; their minds are all on cooperating with the Three-Eyed Clan.

They decided to split the forces with the Seven Great Immortal Peaks as leaders, and go to the Five Great Domains to each plant roots."

Hearing this, Ruo Qunshuang asked further: "Then what about Qingmu Peak?"

Xu Zhangqing replied: "Qingmu Peak has been designated to the Eastern Domain.

I chose the Fengrao Commandery of the Great Feng Dynasty; in the future Qingmu Peak will be renamed Qingmu Sect.

I will temporarily hold the Sect Leader position; Rain Water Pavilion and Spirit Beast Valley will also go along together."

Ruo Qunshuang stared blankly for a long while, saying with a sigh: "Never expected... the once flourishing Dongting Immortal Sect would come to this step."

She thought of something and immediately asked: "Then the Lingqu Sect we founded together... will it also be merged into Qingmu Sect?"

"Not necessary."

Xu Zhangqing shook his head: "Lingqu Sect's foundation is now stable, its development smooth; there is no need to be dragged into the turmoil of the immortal sect's split.

Once the news spreads, Tianyuan Realm will surely fall into great chaos, all sides will be eager to move.

Letting Lingqu Sect keep to itself is instead the steadier choice.

And you can rest assured, I have laid plans in Fengrao Commandery for many years; forces, spirit fields, spiritual veins are all under control — this relocation is no different from returning home, there will not be the slightest risk."

Ruo Qunshuang tightly gripped his hand, the unease in her heart gradually dissipating, she softly hummed in agreement: "With you here, I am at ease!"

The most correct choice of my life was following the right person.

Now not only do I have both son and daughter, but I also lack no cultivation resources.

……

……

The next day at dawn's first light, Qingmu Peak welcomed guests.

Li Lingbi led Li Yueyao by the hand to appear; Xu Zhangqing brought Xu Ping'an out to greet them.

Li Lingbi's gaze swept over Xu Zhangqing and Xu Ping'an, then he smiled and spoke: "Junior Brother Xu, I've brought Yueyao to acknowledge the door."

Xu Zhangqing smiled slightly: "Welcome, welcome!"

Li Lingbi had just sat down when he went straight to the point: "Of course, today I came for two reasons: one is to congratulate Ping'an on breaking through to Extreme Grade Nascent Soul; the second is... to discuss the matter of the two children with you."

Xu Zhangqing understood in his heart: "Senior Brother, just speak freely."

Li Lingbi continued: "Yueyao and Ping'an have known each other since childhood, both sides are deeply attached; now Ping'an is already an Extreme Grade Nascent Soul, and Yueyao is also stable at Earth Grade Golden Core.

You see, shouldn't they be betrothed?"

Xu Zhangqing was thoughtful: "Betrothal, hmm."

Li Lingbi smiled confidently: "Our two families are both not ordinary cultivators.

Ping'an is your son, the future heir of Qingmu Sect.

Behind Yueyao stands our Li Clan.

Once betrothed, it becomes a strong-strong alliance.

For both families, and for future development, it is greatly beneficial."

From the other party's words, Xu Zhangqing heard two meanings.

One, the other party already knows about the immortal sect's split; it was likely Mo Qiu Shui who informed them.

Two, generally speaking, cultivators become Dao Companions; betrothal between families is instead rarely seen.

Once the marriage alliance is formed, it will mean the relationship between the Xu Family and the Li Family will advance a step further.

It can even be said that for a period of time in the future, they will be bound together.

Shared glory, shared loss.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing did not agree immediately, but looked at Xu Ping'an beside him: "Ping'an, this matter is the lifelong major event between you and Yueyao; your thoughts are the most important."

Xu Ping'an was just about to open his mouth, but at this moment, two fluctuations suddenly came from outside.

Two people were rapidly approaching Qingmu Peak, and their speed was extremely fast.

In the turn of an instant, the Three-Eyed Clan Chief Qiong and Li, dressed in silver, appeared before their eyes.

Qiong wore a gentle smile on his face, cupped his hands, and said: "Sect Master Xu, congratulations on your son's breakthrough to Extreme Grade Nascent Soul.

Our visit this time is, first, to see the cultivation situation of the Lingti; after all, the Three-Eyed Clan will still have to rely on you in the future.

Second, to discuss the accompanying personnel of our Three-Eyed Clan after the Immortal Sect splits up."

He turned sideways, making way for Li behind him: "Li, the genius of our Three-Eyed Clan.

Born with pink pupils, talent outstanding.

From now on, she will follow Qingmu Sect and go together to Dongyu Fengrao Commandery."

Every single person present was a shrewd character; with one glance they saw through Qiong's true intention.

What Lingti, what reliance — clearly Li has taken a fancy to Xu Ping'an.

The Three-Eyed Clan wants to use this layer of connection to firmly bind themselves to Qingmu Sect.

Li Yueyao's complexion instantly sank, her small hands clenched tightly, glaring at Li with dissatisfaction, the hostility in her eyes undisguised.

She and Xu Ping'an had already reached the stage of discussing marriage; this Three-Eyed Clan woman before them clearly wants to insert herself horizontally!

Xu Ping'an's expression turned serious; he immediately stepped forward one step, blocking in front of Li Yueyao, and said in a firm tone: "Clan Chief Qiong, Miss Li, my heart already holds Yueyao.

Moreover, we are about to form a marriage alliance."

Everyone was stunned; they did not expect Xu Ping'an to be so decisive.

After all, this Li is not simple either.

Not only young, but also talent outstanding.

Her strength, if divided according to the Tianyuan Realm's system, is at least Nascent Soul Stage.

Regardless of identity, talent, or any aspect, she surpasses Li Yueyao by a head.

Facing Xu Ping'an's answer, on Li's cold face there was not a trace of displeasure; instead, she said in a calm tone: "Doesn't matter, I don't care.

By a powerhouse's side, there should be myriad stars revolving around."

As these words came out, everyone stared wide-eyed.

Originally thought the Three-Eyed Clan would turn hostile on the spot; didn't expect they instead have open-minded thinking.

Li's gaze fell on Xu Ping'an, carrying undisguised appreciation: "I know, we currently have no feelings whatsoever.

But doesn't matter; in the future, together in Qingmu Sect, there will be plenty of time to cultivate!"
