Chapter 338: Chapter 220 Longevity Realm (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Several months later.

Martial Alliance Headquarters.

A high-profile conference was convened.

Participants included not only the five major sects but also other medium and small forces, such as Formation Sect, Artifact Sect, Alchemy Sect, etc...

The conference established the Daoist Sect Venerable Sage as the Lord of Martial Alliance, wielding the great authority of the alliance.

The Heavenly Mechanism Sect and the Confucian Sect, both having a Supreme Saint, raised no objections.

As for the Dharma Sect... after the fall of their two Supreme Saints, they were even less likely to oppose.

Thus, the Martial Alliance smoothly completed its power transition.

Following that, the Daoist Sect defined the next strategic direction for the alliance, which was to completely eradicate the rampant Demon Puppets from the Human World.

Consequently, a massive demon-slaying and exorcism plan began vigorously in the Human World.

More than a year later.

In the swamps of the far north, where poison vapors pervaded.

A giant Wild Wolf beast was moving swiftly.

Suddenly, the giant beast stopped at the edge of the poison ridge.

"Daoist Chi Yue, this is as far as I will accompany you."

Li Qian emerged from the Great Hall atop the beast’s head.

"Daoist Qian Yuan, you shouldn’t confine yourself to this remote place; with your strength, if you ventured into the Barbaric Land, you would surely achieve greater heights."

Chi Yue Venerable Sage spoke.

This remote place, though vast... in her view, paled in comparison with the Barbaric Land.

The Barbaric Land is where the true contests of the strong take place.

"I’ll consider it in the future."

Li Qian said with a smile.

He was curious about the Barbaric Land, yet... he had no ambitions; he only wanted to cultivate quietly and peacefully.

Since he could be safe within Divine Sword Sect, why venture into the dangerous Barbaric Land?

He suddenly looked at Fu Ling in white, this former monk seemingly had cut off his ties as a disciple of Buddhism.

"Fu Ling, are you truly unwilling to stay?"

Li Qian suddenly asked.

The current Buddhist Sect had been restored, without divisions between esoteric and exoteric anymore.

However, internal affairs were still somewhat chaotic.

After all, there had been a split before... none of the heavyweight figures managed it, but Fu Ling, with immense talent and substantial cultivation, could certainly stabilize the situation.

"Elder, my mind is made up."

Fu Ling in white shook his head.

Besides, he had already promised Chi Yue Venerable Sage, how could he go back on his word?

Li Qian nodded, as Fu Ling was willing to follow Chi Yue Venerable Sage away, there was nothing he could object to.

Initially, he had thought that Fu Ling was under pressure from Chi Yue Venerable Sage.

So, he moved his figure, flew away from the Great Hall, and soon left the domain of the giant beast, watching as the enormous creature entered the misty swamp, with its presence fading into the distance.

The Azure Wolf Barbarian Tribe had left, reducing one threat to the Human Clan.

Now, the only concern was the hidden mastermind who manipulated the Demon Race Supreme Saint and Wu Xu Venerable Saint.

However, there had been no movement for a long time, suggesting some limitations on this mastermind, otherwise, it would not have remained silent till now.

Just as Li Qian was flying towards the Human World, suddenly a strange purple light shot quickly from the horizon, transforming into a peculiar butterfly.

This butterfly flapped its wings, casting small specks of purple light.

Li Qian, surprised, watched the butterfly; judging from the aura, it should be a demonic entity or a transformed butterfly demon, yet not very strong, probably just reaching the level of a sky demon.

After circling Li Qian for a bit, the butterfly demon suddenly flew off towards the distance as if guiding Li Qian.

Li Qian was puzzled—what was this about?

However, he was quite emboldened and wanted to see where the butterfly intended to take him.

Although fragile, this butterfly demon flew incredibly fast.

After flying continuously for half a day, the butterfly demon finally stopped atop a bare stone mountain.

There stood a Black Stone Hall atop the mountain, ordinary-looking at first glance.

The butterfly demon landed on the Black Stone Hall, slowly extinguishing and finally turned into ashes and vanished.

Li Qian was curious, why had the butterfly brought him here?

What was in this Black Stone Hall?

At this moment, the doors of the Black Stone Hall slowly opened, followed by a deep voice as if coming from the depths beneath Nine Nether.

"Human, we meet again."

Hearing this voice, Li Qian was initially startled, then he gathered his thoughts.

Was this the hidden mastermind controlling the Demon Race and Wu Xu Venerable Sage?

Unexpectedly, this mastermind was hiding here, even using that butterfly demon to lead him here.

"Who exactly are you?"

Li Qian asked in a deep voice.

"Hehe, I come from the Longevity Realm."

The voice chuckled lightly.

"Longevity Realm?"

Li Qian was taken aback, never having heard this term before, could it be the higher world accessed through Returning Void and Upgrading?

The owner of that voice, guessing Li Qian’s thoughts, chuckled lightly: "Longevity Realm is naturally not the mysterious world of your Returning Void... that world transcends the dimensions of reality, hardly accessible by low-dimensional beings like us..."

"Are you saying that between the real world and the higher-dimensional world, there is a Longevity Realm?"

Li Qian seemed to get it a bit.

"Correct... Longevity Realm, as the name implies, only those who step into the Longevity Secret Realm qualify to enter... of course, if you are of the Longevity Species, you also qualify to exist there."

The mysterious existence within the Black Stone Hall said, laughing.

"Where is this Longevity Realm?"

Li Qian asked curiously.

"Longevity Realm is everywhere, just that you can’t reach it yet... But if you could reach above the Returning to Void Ten Steps, you should be able to touch it; unfortunately, achieving Returning to Void Ten Steps in this mundane realm is much harder than stepping into the Longevity Secret Realm."
