Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 330 Immortal Tax
"Pattering..."

The drizzle is like a curtain.

A misty rain enveloped the world, blurring the slender figure kneeling before the cave entrance.

"Junior sister."

Gu Rusong appeared beside Xi Youyue and whispered his advice:

"Master is doing this for your own good. I have been to the Void Rift Secret Realm before, and it is far too dangerous inside."

"Senior Brother Xi..."

He's gone!

Xi Youyue knelt on both knees, her head bowed, letting the rain soak her clothes, without uttering a sound.

"Ugh!"

Seeing this, Gu Rusong could only shake his head helplessly and walk away.

rain.

Go down and get bigger.

The rain was torrential.

The ground became muddy, the ditches were filled with water, and the vegetation grew even more lush after drinking its fill.

The figure kneeling on the ground swayed unsteadily.

Inside the cave.

"Master."

Gu Rusong asked in a low voice:
“Junior sister has been kneeling for seven days straight. Even a person with a congenital constitution can’t withstand such a long period of not eating or drinking.”

"If she's willing to kneel, then let her kneel forever." Zhu Ju snorted and walked towards the quiet room.

half a month later.

"Master!"

Gu Rusong rushed over, his face deathly pale:

"Junior Sister has fainted!"

Zhu Ju stood with his hands behind his back in front of the array plate. Upon hearing the sound, his eyes trembled slightly, and a complex expression appeared on his face.

One by one...

They're all so troublesome!
"That's it!"

He flicked his sleeve and tossed the two items to Gu Rusong.

"Everyone has their own destiny, and even I, as their teacher, cannot force it. Since she wants to go to the secret realm, then let her go."

"Take her back to her cave and never come to see me again!"

"..." Gu Rusong took the item, his expression shifting back and forth, before finally slowly lowering his head:
"Yes, Master."

"Hmm..." Xi Youyue slowly opened her eyes, feeling weak all over and unable to muster any strength.

"This is where?"

Her voice was hoarse and weak, but fortunately, those around her could hear it clearly.

"Junior sister."

Gu Rusong handed her a pill and had a maidservant help her swallow it with spirit wine.
"This is my manor."

"Not long ago you fainted in front of Master's cave. I followed Master's instructions and brought you back to recuperate."

"Master..." After swallowing the pill, a faint warm current rose from her abdomen, and Xi Youyue struggled to get up:

"I want to see my master!"

“Master doesn’t want to see you, but…” Gu Rusong shook his head and sighed:

"Junior sister, you can go to the secret realm now."

"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Xi Youyue's expression changed, both surprised and delighted, before she finally nodded slowly.
"Thank you Master!"

Xi Youyue knew in her heart that Zhu Ju didn't want her to go to the secret realm for her own good.

but……

Her brother's life or death was an obsession for her; she had to get a resolution no matter what.

"Junior sister."

Gu Rusong handed over two things:

"This was given to you by your master."

"This item is called the Blood-Seeking Jade. By dripping one's own blood into it, one can detect whether there are any blood relatives of one's own nearby."

"This talisman can be used to save your life."

"Master..." Xi Youyue's eyes reddened:

"If I can survive the Void Rift Secret Realm, I will follow Master for the rest of my life."

"Junior Sister, don't say discouraging things," Gu Rusong said seriously.
"Although the secret realm is dangerous, it is not a matter of life and death. As long as you are careful, there is still a good chance of survival."

"Let me tell you about my own experience back then!"

Xi Youyue was startled.

She remembered that when Gu Rusong entered the secret realm, he also seemed to be a seven-aperture innate cultivator, with a cultivation level similar to hers.

The more experience you gain, the better your chances of survival.

"Please speak, senior brother!"

"That's it!"

In the main hall, Pei Jingque clapped his hands lightly:

"This relocation of the sect is divided into two parts, one open and one covert."

"On the surface, we will relocate to Cold Moon Valley and set up an array here as the sect's headquarters."

"We also dispatched a group of people to the Coiled Serpent Cliff as a backup base for the sect."

After a period of discussion, Pei Jingque finally made a decision.

There are two bases.

One light and one dark.

The bright area is Lengyue Valley.

The dark area is a dangerous place near the abyss, which is also the place Zhu Ju agreed to, and named it Coiled Serpent Cliff.

The vast majority of disciples will be settled in Cold Moon Valley, with only a very small number going to Coiled Serpent Cliff.

in this way.

Even if the demonic forces invade and Cold Moon Valley suffers heavy losses, Mingxu Sect still has a way out.

This is also a lesson learned from repeated robberies.

"Junior sister."

Looking at Liu Huang'er, Pei Jingque spoke:
Please take good care of me on this trip.

Soon, the Void Rift Secret Realm will open, and I will have to lead two groups of people to migrate there.

The matter is undeniably serious.

"Ji Mingxi and I will lead the team to the Void Rift Secret Realm, while Qingfeng will lead the people to Cold Moon Valley for resettlement."

Liu Huang'er smiled and said:
"The Void Rift Secret Realm will only be open for a month or two. It's not too late to go to the Coiled Serpent Cliff after we return."

"Ah."

Pei Jingque nodded slowly:
"Caution comes first."

Zhu Ju could not go on this trip.

When a sect relocates, the original formations need to be dug up and then rearranged at the new location.

Without the protection of formations, the sect's defenses are extremely weak.

Zhu Ju possesses the Investiture of the Gods, which can completely replace the sect's formations to prevent attacks from demonic forces.

As for Pei Jingque...

In recent years, the Immortal Alliance has been trying to establish new rules, and as the sect leader, she may be summoned at any time.

Shui Qianning is in the same situation. She is currently stationed in a nearby market town and will not be able to take over for another five years, so she cannot get away for the time being.

So, if we calculate it this way...

The Mingxu Sect still doesn't have enough Dao Foundation cultivators.

Shortly after.

Liu Huang'er and Zhai Qingfeng, along with the newly promoted Dao Foundation cultivator Ji Mingxi, led two hundred disciples towards the direction of the Abyss.

This is the first batch.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances.

A second batch will arrive six months later, and it will take about five to ten years for them all to be relocated.

…………

"There seems to be an unusually large amount of rain this year."

Under the stone pavilion.

Pei Jingque shielded his forehead with his hand, gazing at the misty drizzle ahead, and spoke slowly:
"It rains every few days, and this time it's been raining for seven days straight, with no sign of it stopping."

"Yes." Zhu Ju looked up, his eyes seemingly able to pierce through the clouds in the sky:
"The Shiwan Mountains are already rich in water, and this year the moisture is so high that it looks like there will be more rain."

Since Liu Huang'er left with her people, Mingxu Sect seems to have become much quieter.

There was no more noise in my ears.

The two could occasionally get together to enjoy wine and scenery.

"correct."

Zhu Ju asked:
"What exactly are the Immortal Alliance's plans?"

"I don't know." Pei Jingque's relaxed expression vanished, his brows furrowed slightly, and his voice became serious:
"More and more demonic cultivators are coming from the Great Zhou Dynasty, as if they want to start another war with the Immortal Alliance."

"It is said..."

"The Six Paths Demon Lord's injuries have healed, and his cultivation and strength have even improved compared to before."

Zhu Ju's heart trembled.

If this is true, the situation for the righteous path is likely to be dire, and perhaps the sects should accelerate their relocation.

"coming!"

"Shh!"

A faint ray of light pierced through the rain, dissipating before the stone pavilion to reveal a tall and imposing figure.

"Ha ha……"

The visitor laughed heartily:

"Sect Leader Pei, we meet again."

"This must be Fellow Daoist Zhu Ju? I have long admired your name. I am Ping Daochuan, a cultivator from the Zhaixing Tower."

"Brother Ping!"

"Fellow Daoist Ping".

The two stepped forward and bowed.

Zhu Ju's gaze lingered on the other person for a moment, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, before he looked away.

After the Tianyu Sect closed its mountain, the Zhaixing Tower became the undisputed second largest power in the righteous immortal alliance.

He had also heard of this Hiramakawa.

He possessed an innate Dao body, truly a chosen one of heaven, and achieved perfect Dao foundation at the age of two hundred.

Not long ago.

This person attempted to break through to the Golden Core realm, but unfortunately failed.

A fake Core Formation cultivator!

The opponent did not deliberately conceal his cultivation level; his aura emanated outwards, like a towering mountain.

His every breath resonated with the power of heaven and earth, and with a wave of his sleeve, the dark clouds scattered across the sky.

Thought,

Heaven and earth follow!
The power of spells cast by such cultivators far surpasses that of ordinary cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage.

During battles, they can plunder the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from dozens of miles away, preventing their opponents from drawing upon the power of heaven and earth.

Zhu Ju asked himself.

Even with exceptional skills, one has no chance of winning against such a formidable opponent; even with an external avatar, it would likely be too late.

"Both of you."

After glancing at the two, Hiramakawa spoke slowly:
"The Immortal Alliance has decreed that the demonic path's desire to destroy us will never die, and righteous cultivators must uphold the belief that there can be no new beginning without destruction."

"Now, a chief administrator of the Immortal Alliance has been appointed to be in charge of the affairs of each immortal sect."

"I am currently the head of the Immortal Alliance, in charge of more than ten sects, including the Mingxu Sect."

talking.

A token was tossed to them.

The token carries the aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator; it cannot be faked.

"Fellow Daoist Ping".

Pei Jingque checked the token, glanced at Zhu Ju, and then cupped his hands and said:
"Now that demonic cultivators are rampant, we should unite against them. Mingxu Sect is willing to obey the orders of the Immortal Alliance."

Zhu Ju nodded.

For over a century, the Mingxu Sect has been besieged and attacked by demonic forces several times.

From a powerful immortal sect with several Golden Core Grandmasters at the beginning, it almost became extinct.

The enmity was undeniably deep.

Resisting demonic cultivators is our duty, of course.

"Haha..." Hiramikawa laughed heartily:

“I knew that Sect Leader Pei was reasonable, unlike some sects that always make excuses and delays.”

"Sect Master Pei!"

He took a deep breath, his expression hardening:
"The main reason why the righteous immortal alliance has suffered repeated defeats in recent years is that the major immortal sects fight each other."

"At this Immortal Alliance meeting, the two Nascent Soul cultivators jointly decided that all righteous immortal sects should unite to resist the demonic path. They can no longer be scattered as before, collapsing without a fight when they encounter demonic cultivators."

“That makes sense.” Pei Jingque nodded.

"As far as I know, many righteous cultivators claim to be going to the front lines to resist demonic cultivators, but in reality, they have never actually fought against demonic cultivators."

“Not bad.” Pingdaochuan took out a scroll of jade and silk and said:
"This is the decree of the Immortal Alliance. Sect Leader Pei, please take a look."

Pei Jingque reached out and took it, unfolded it, and glanced at it. His expression immediately changed drastically.

"Immortal tax?"

"Yes." Hiramikawa nodded.

"The Immortal Alliance suffered countless casualties in resisting the invasion of demonic cultivators, while the major immortal sects reaped the benefits."

"That makes no sense!"

"Starting this year, all major immortal sects will have to pay a certain amount of immortal tax to the Immortal Alliance every year."

"certainly……"

"Taxation can also be offset by sending Dao Foundation cultivators to the front lines to fight against demonic cultivators."

Zhu Ju was right next to Pei Jingque, and he also saw the contents of the document. His eyes narrowed instinctively.

This celestial tax...

It's terrifyingly high!
"Mr. Ping."

He spoke slowly:
What if we don't pay?

"Not handing it over?" Ping Daochuan's face darkened, the dark clouds above gathered, and in the blink of an eye, a torrential downpour began:

"You can try it!"
