Chapter 358: Chapter 228 Selection_2

Moreover, in his plan, the disciples he cultivated in the Longevity Realm were mainly for future arrangements.

This way, Lin Xu and others, as natives of the Longevity Realm, could establish a power base to gather intelligence and information for him.

Indeed, Li Qian had also considered having disciples from the Human World develop in the Longevity Realm.

With a better environment for Martial Arts Cultivation here, it would certainly benefit their cultivation.

However, the risk was too great.

Should the ability to freely travel between the two realms be exposed, it would undoubtedly cause immense trouble.

Although he was of the Longevity Secret Realm, in terms of Cultivation Realm, he was quite average within the Longevity Realm.

That’s why, since entering the Longevity Realm, he has been acting low-key and cautious, not revealing his hand unless absolutely necessary.

Since he had intervened once more than two years ago, it was necessary to create a local identity to cover his tracks.

Moreover, the Chen Bell Domain is right here; Yiling Town would become his base in the Longevity Realm.

"Yes, Master."

Lin Xu was overjoyed in his heart.

Although only a Registered Disciple, his master might very well be the Longevity Realm powerhouse who saved the entire Yiling Town.

Not to mention becoming a Registered Disciple, even if he were to be a servant... he felt it was an incredible opportunity.

When Lin Xu descended the mountain, Li Qian also gave him a bag of Spirit Stones and elixirs for his cultivation.

After all, Lin Xu was about to formally enter Martial Arts Cultivation and would need ample resources.

Although the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi is abundant in this world, and Lin Xu, as a person of the Longevity Realm, could absorb it as soon as he cultivates, Li Qian still felt this would impact Lin Xu’s cultivation speed. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

In the following six months, the other selected candidates also perfected their Sword Stabbing Fist, ascended the mountain to the Daoist Temple, and became Registered Disciples under Li Qian, who imparted the Heartless Sword Technique and Pure Sword Body method to them through the transmission of Spiritual Sense.

Li Qian allowed these few Registered Disciples to know each other’s existence to quickly establish a bond of brotherhood.

Moreover, by being united, they would be able to survive better in Yiling Town.

However, Li Qian strictly forbade them from revealing anything about the Daoist Temple.

...

Another year, another time for the annual Origin Festival.

Since the great disaster caused by demons and monsters was mitigated, despite ongoing scattered incidents, they no longer affect the grand scheme; the Human World as a whole is moving towards stability.

Over the years, the Divine Sword Sect has developed rapidly, with its influence having spread throughout the entire Great Martial Path.

Moreover, it has produced an endless stream of Heavenly Persons, far surpassing other native forces.

Atop Wuxin Peak, all disciples have returned.

Nowadays, Wuxin lineage usually gathers once every Origin Festival.

"Master, we all toast to you."

Several Direct Disciples were sitting at the same table with Li Qian, with Yang Fan holding up his cup and speaking.

Ever since Wen Wan came to the Divine Sword Sect, he has changed as if he were a different person... no longer as careless as before.

Suddenly, at Yang Fan’s suggestion, everyone stood up, raised their glasses, and toasted to Li Qian.

"If your mentor were still here, seeing Wuxin Peak now, he would surely be very pleased."

Li Qian picked up his cup, took a sip, and looking at the room full of disciples, he said with emotion.

Now, there are several dozen disciples in Wuxin Peak.

Over the years, his disciples and grand-disciples have taken disciples or found Dao companions, got married and had children... Wuxin Peak’s lineage has now reached the fifth generation.

The mentor was the first generation, he was the second, his disciples the third...

This was because he had strict requirements for the Wuxin Peak lineage; perfecting Sword Stabbing Fist was a prerequisite to enter. Otherwise, the number of disciples at Wuxin Peak would easily exceed one hundred.

Wuxin Peak has developed to this point, basically without Li Qian having to worry, and it is naturally managed by the next generation of disciples.

Moreover, these disciples have become the backbone of the Divine Sword Sect and hold the sect’s power.

As for the other peaks of the Divine Sword Sect, they have mostly been marginalized.

No choice, not to mention the number of Heavenly Persons falls short, but with no Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials, even if Wuxin Peak didn’t want to take charge, it was unavoidable.

Thus, Wuxin Peak now has the final say in the Divine Sword Sect.

Regarding this, Li Qian never interfered.

What’s more... he rarely involved himself in the affairs of the Dao Sect, let alone the Martial Alliance.

As the Daoist Sect Venerable Sage and Alliance Hierarch, whenever he visited the Dao Sect or the Martial Alliance... it was always his Fox Puppet incarnate who would appear.

With the current strength and Divine Skills of the Fox Puppet, even the Supreme Saints of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and Confucian Sect could not recognize it.

Now, the power gap within the Martial Alliance is severe.

Since the fall of several Supreme Saints, the Dharma Sect and Buddhist Sect have not produced any new Supreme Saints to this day.

The Dao Sect is in a similar situation.

Although there is him, the Saint Venerable, he was not cultivated by the Dao Sect.

After the Origin Festival is over, Li Qian plans to return to the underground palace for his Return to Void.

In fact, half a month ago, the Return to Void had already begun.

To observe this Passover Festival, he simply chose to postpone it.

"Master."

At this time, Yang Fan and Wen Wan approached.

"What’s the matter?"

Li Qian glanced at the two of them.

"Master, can, can you send the two of us to the Longevity Realm?"

Yang Fan hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Why seek the Longevity Realm on such a fine day... Why do you want to go there?"

Li Qian looked at Wen Wan with a frown.

"Master, Wen Wan and I wish to enter the Dream Realm... Only within the Longevity Realm can we more conveniently access the Dream Realm..."

Yang Fan explained.

"More than two years ago, the Spiritual King Mansion sent people to Yiling Town, nearly destroying that small town... Do you realize how great the risk is in returning to the Longevity Realm?"

Li Qian said gravely, looking at Wen Wan.

"Elder... I simply want to avenge my father."

Wen Wan’s eyes reddened slightly.

These years, her life at the Divine Sword Sect was indeed very peaceful, but the thorn in her heart remained and could not be removed, which caused her inner pain...

"Yang Fan, are you sure you want to go with her to the Longevity Realm? There, I will not be looking after you."

Li Qian said.

Within Yiling Town, he might be able to protect Wen Wan, but once they left, it would be unpredictable.

He would not take the risk of leaving Yiling Town.

"Master, your disciple is certain..."

Yang Fan said with a resolute look in his eyes.

He didn’t want to see Wen Wan suffer every day; he wanted to help her, but his own strength was too weak, still lingering on the edge of the Martial Saint Realm, unable to break through... Hence, he pinned his hopes on the Longevity Realm and Dream Realm.

"Fine then."

Li Qian sighed.

In fact, he knew that Yang Fan’s continuation at the Divine Sword Sect... to break through to the Martial Saint Realm would be somewhat difficult, mainly due to a lack of tempering.

Everyone has their own path, and since Yang Fan has chosen this one, he would not stop him.

Yang Fan is no longer a child, this is a decision he made himself.

So, he took them into the underground palace.

"After entering the Longevity Realm, do not leave Yiling Town arbitrarily, understand?"

Li Qian reminded them after sending them off.

As long as they stayed within Yiling Town, shielded by the Chen Bell Domain... the spies from the Spiritual King Mansion would be unable to detect Wen Wan’s presence.

"Understood, Master."

Yang Fan quickly replied.

Following that, with a wave of Li Qian’s hand and accompanied by an invisible fluctuation, Wen Wan and Yang Fan were enveloped.

In the next instant, the two of them had disappeared.

"It seems I need to think of a way to forge another avatar."

Li Qian stroked his chin.

Once he enters the Return to Void state, the Fox Puppet could only manage one side... The Divine Sword Sect being crucial, certainly calls for careful attention.

Hence, the Fox Puppet must stay at the Divine Sword Sect.

However, regarding Yiling Town... due to the Chen Bell Domain, it would become an important base for him in the Longevity Realm, one that he must manage well.

To ensure the stability and safety of Yiling Town, he would definitely need to make arrangements.

Only with an avatar in place, could he possibly mobilize the power of the Chen Bell Domain, thereby forming a deterrent force.

Unfortunately, he must travel between three realms, truly unable to take care of everything.

Moreover, forging an avatar isn’t so simple.

It requires a suitable avatar shell.

Avatar shells like the White Fox are exceptionally hard to come by.

Li Qian shook his head, then immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and prepared to undergo the Return to Void.
