Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 563 An Unsuccessful Start (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

You have to understand that he's someone who's used to beautiful women, and he doesn't usually have that kind of irrational, reckless impulse.

Li Yunjing grasped one of Yu Yunyi's or Lü Ruoxi's hands and said with a carefree smile, "From today onwards, we are husband and wife."

"Ok!"

"Today is the happiest day of my life!"

Yu Yunyi wore a faint smile, her beautiful eyes gazing tenderly at Li Yunjing.

"Me too! I never imagined I'd have such a glorious day!"

Leaning against Li Yunjing's chest, Lü Ruoxi said excitedly, "The entire 'Great Ming Cultivation World' has come! Such a grand scene probably won't happen again for many years!"

"Our wedding will surely be celebrated for many years to come!"

Looking at the beauty in his arms, Li Yunjing reached out and lifted Lü Ruoxi's chin with his fingers, and said with a smile, "I hope that you two will work hard and achieve the Core Formation as soon as possible, and then form the Nascent Soul together with me. We will be husband and wife forever!"

"Hmm! Then you'll have to work harder!"

Lu Ruoxi looked at Li Yunjing's lower body with a half-smile, as if there was something deeper in her expression.

"Giggle..."

When Yu Yunyi saw Lü Ruoxi being so lewd, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand and laugh heartily.

"Heh heh! Still laughing? I'll deal with you tonight!"

Li Yunjing looked at Yu Yunyi, gently stroked her cheek with his large hand, and softly tidied her hair.

They were already an old married couple, so the three of them naturally didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"Then let's give it a try! If Ruoxi and I join forces, we might not be no match for you!"

Yu Yunyi's eyes sparkled with a captivating charm as she smiled sweetly.

"Then try it!"

Li Yunjing laughed heartily, "Then let's see how you beg for mercy!"

As she spoke, Li Yunjing wrapped her arms around Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi, her slender waist swaying as she walked toward the white jade bed.

Outside, seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, Fu Chao and his friends left with smiles on their faces, preparing to go back for another round of drinks.

You should know that this banquet is of extremely high quality; it's a waste not to eat or drink here.

At this moment, "Qiwu Mountain Villa" is extremely quiet.

The outer formations have been activated, and even the chirping of Little Yellow outside has disappeared. Zhu Wanyun has been given a few days off to visit her royal relatives.

The only sounds in the entire room were the three of them breathing heavily.

"Huh, what's this...?"

Yu Yunyi asked in surprise, forgetting her overwhelming joy.

"Hehe! This time, there are too many experts coming to the sect. Who knows if there are any grandmasters of array formations? I'll set up more arrays and restrictions so that outsiders won't be able to hear your voices!"

Looking at the two charming women, Li Yunjing said, "Otherwise, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"

"You're talking nonsense..."

Yu Yunyi blushed deeply, and with her delicate fists, she gently punched Li Yunjing's chest twice.

"Humph!"

Lu Ruoxi rolled her eyes at Li Yunjing and said with a coquettish smile, "Are you afraid that you'll lose and people will find out?"

"Fine! You dare say that to me!"

Li Yunjing immediately pounced on Lü Ruoxi, "Today I'll show you who wins and who loses!"

As he spoke, the giant hand began to act strangely, and the "Yin Yang He Dao Jing" began to circulate within his body, preparing him for cultivation.

"Um……"

When Li Yunjing pounced on her, Lü Ruoxi trembled slightly and couldn't even muster the energy to retort.

That night, their wedding night, the three of them had a friendly competition and were overjoyed.

……

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Li Yunjing woke up, looked at the two women sleeping, chuckled, and gently kissed their cheeks before getting up to go out.

"you're awake?"

They were all top-tier cultivators, so they naturally sensed even the slightest movement. They watched as Li Yunjing got up and dressed, while Yu Yunyi lay quietly on the couch, looking at her lover.

"lady!"

Li Yunjing, dressed neatly, sat on the edge of the bed and smiled, "I'll be going to the East China Sea in a month. Time is tight, and there are some things I still need to take care of."

"Let's go together!"

At this moment, Lü Ruoxi also woke up. She rolled her bright black eyes and expressed her thoughts.

"Neither of you can go!"

Li Yunjing embraced the two women and said earnestly, "This time, we will not recruit cultivators below the Golden Core Realm when we go to the East Sea!"

"So dangerous?"

Yu Yunyi was taken aback. Looking at the cultivator's level, she understood how difficult the mission was.

"Yes! You mustn't spread this around."

Li Yunjing kissed the two women and instructed them, "This trip to the East Sea is to rebuild the 'East Sea Alliance' and wage war against the behemoth sect of the East Sea, the 'Tianluo Dao Sect'! It's not going to be a small-scale skirmish like before."

"Then I'm definitely going!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of worry flashed in Lü Ruoxi's eyes. She shook her head and said firmly, "I can only rest assured when I see you safe and sound!"

"Yes!"

Yu Yunyi added, "Besides, if we go to the East Sea, we might be able to cultivate even faster through the experience!"

"no!"

Li Yunjing refused outright: "I can tell you! It's extremely dangerous! This time, the sect is mobilizing nine Nascent Soul Realm elders and fifty Golden Core Realm cultivators to provide support! Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators are absolutely not allowed to go!"

"Yunyi, Ruoxi, do you know why the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' is called a giant in the East Sea?"

Li Yunjing hugged the two women tighter, gently stroking their long hair with his fingertips. His tone was gentle yet undeniably firm: "The Nascent Soul cultivators under the Tianluo Dao Sect are as numerous as carp crossing a river. This time, the sect has dispatched its elite forces to help the East Sea forces and block their advance. Once a great battle breaks out, the slightest mistake could lead to annihilation."

"But we want to help you!"

Lu Ruoxi bit her lower lip, her fingertips unconsciously tugging at Li Yunjing's collar: "I can at least help you with some small things!"

A stubborn light gleamed in her eyes, "Do you think we're just weaklings who need protection?"

"That's right! You always talk about the danger, but you don't know that we have never slacked off in our cultivation over the years."

Yu Yunyi sat up straight, a hint of anger creeping onto her beautiful face: "If I can't even stand by your side and fight alongside you, what kind of Daoist partner am I?"

Seeing the grievances and resentment in the eyes of the two women, Li Yunjing's heart softened, but he knew even more that this journey was fraught with danger and allowed no room for luck.

He certainly didn't want to see Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi suffer such a tragic fate.

"It is precisely because we know your goodness that we cannot let you take any risks."

Li Yunjing embraced the two women, his voice low but firm, "What you should do is break through to the Golden Core Realm. Only in this way can you help me!"

"I promised your parents that I would protect you."

Seeing that the two women seemed about to say something, Li Yunjing cupped their faces and kissed each of them on the forehead. "I promised myself that I would take you to see all the beautiful scenery in the world."

"When I return, I will take you all to see the entire Tianlan Star. Be good at home and don't distract me! Be good!"

Lu Ruoxi was captivated by the tenderness in his eyes and nodded unconsciously.

"Then promise us you'll be careful."

Yu Yunyi sighed softly and leaned on his shoulder: "If there is any danger..."

She paused, then said, "Even if we lose, we must come back alive."

"I know!"

Li Yunjing held the two women tightly in his arms, silently vowing, "No matter the cost of this battle, I will return alive to this warm embrace."

For the next month, Li Yunjing had a rare period of leisure.

The next day, after receiving the congratulatory gift from Fu Chao and reviewing the account books, he understood the situation.

I met up with friends during the day and gave them some pointers on their spiritual practice.

Li Yunjing also took some time to go to the "White Tiger Hall", "Black Tortoise Hall", and "Seven Star Palace" to handle some government affairs.

In other aspects, he naturally practiced dual cultivation with Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi every day.

Li Yunjing intended to spend a month properly improving the cultivation levels of his two women. This made his newlywed life exceptionally sweet.

During this time, Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing also left the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and traveled to various places in the "Great Ming Immortal Cultivation World".

After a month, the two returned to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

The days of leisure must come to an end, but the important matters of the East China Sea cannot be ignored.

Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing naturally knew what was important and what was urgent.

This was the day Li Yunjing set off.

On Seven Star Peak, twenty Golden Core cultivators, along with eight Supreme Elders, Wen Bin, and Liao Wanqing, had already arrived.

The Seven Star Palace activated an ultra-long-distance teleportation array, and the group arrived at Divine Firmament Island in the next instant!
The island has now flourished again and become a frequent destination for cultivators from the East China Sea.

A month ago, the Five Elements Master returned to the East Sea and met with some old friends. The two sides exchanged opinions and agreed to the proposal that the Five Elements Master should serve as the leader of the alliance.

This is not only because the Five Elements True Man is a master of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", but more importantly, because the scene of the Five Elements True Man killing the high monk of "Mingxin Temple" when the alliance was formed last time was shocking.

When the people of Donghai saw him arrive, they felt they had a pillar of support and were less afraid of the "Tianluo Dao Sect".

The new alliance headquarters was established on "Shenxiao Island".

When Li Yunjing and his group appeared at the teleportation array, they saw that the entire island had changed.

Wu Cheng arrived at the teleportation array immediately and invited the reinforcements from the Shenxiao Dao Sect into the Shenxiao Temple.

As for Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing, they left immediately.

The two of them needed to inform Master Feiyun and Fairy Shengyin of what they had seen and heard these past few days, so as to prevent the sect leader above from making a wrong judgment and affecting their relationship with the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

The moment Li Yunjing stepped into the Shenxiao Temple, he was so overwhelmed by the tense atmosphere that he squinted slightly.

Inside the hall, thirty-six dragon-carved pillars were covered with mysterious runes, and seven jade lamps suspended in the dome cast starlight formed from the five elements of true energy into the center of the council hall.

On the high seat sat the Five Elements True Man, whom Li Yunjing was familiar with.

"You all have come a long way and have worked hard."

The Five Elements True Man lightly pressed his palm on the table, his expression solemn. “The ‘Tianluo Dao Sect’ has recently mobilized Nascent Soul cultivators in the ‘Giant Whale Sea’ and is attacking the ‘Giant Whale Clan’s’ first-level subordinate demon race and sea race.”

At this moment, the Five Elements Master didn't have time for formalities and went straight to business.

A golden light flew out from his sleeve, transforming into a huge sea map in mid-air. The countless red dots on the East China Sea twinkled like stars, but were gradually swallowed up by the blue dots spreading in the northwest.

"Fellow Daoist Wuxing, is the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' only three sea areas away from here?"

Seeing this, Elder Xuanqing frowned and asked, "Why are they moving so fast?"

"Exactly!"

The Five Elements True Man nodded and said gravely, "'Tianluo Dao Sect's' power is too overwhelming. Some forces have already given up hope and dared not resist, surrendering en masse. If this continues, the entire cultivation world of the East Sea will be in jeopardy..."

There was no need to say anything more; everyone understood the seriousness of the situation.

Three sea areas, which is only a few million nautical miles!

These three places have some Nascent Soul stage experts from the human, demon, and sea races, but they are not under each other's command and may not be able to hold out for many years!

Time is running out for the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" to consolidate its power in the East China Sea.

The air inside the hall seemed to be stagnant, as if weighed down by an invisible weight, and the starlight from the jade lamp cast flickering shadows on everyone's tense faces.

"Every time the Tianluo Dao Sect conquered a region, it recovered many of its vassal armies."

Elder Xuanqing said in a deep voice, "The most urgent task is to immediately convene a meeting of all forces! We cannot continue like this!"

The Five Elements Master nodded: "But as soon as the summons was issued, half of the forces claimed that 'the sea is turbulent and it is difficult to proceed.'"

Dozens of jade slips flew out from his sleeve, hovering in mid-air, revealing a dense array of reasons for refusal.

Some claimed that their clan elders were in seclusion, others used the excuse of a spirit beast uprising, and still others bluntly stated that they "did not want to make a futile resistance"...

In short, the "Tianluo Dao Sect" terrified these forces in the East China Sea.

With thirty-six Nascent Soul Realm experts dispatched at once, the East Sea Dragon Clan was driven to flee in terror. Who wouldn't be afraid?
Even several behemoth sects with power comparable to the "Tianluo Dao Sect" dared not show their faces.

As long as the "Tianluo Dao Sect" doesn't attack them and continues its eastward invasion, then so be it.

It would be even better if we could conquer the Southern Continent!
The "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is blocking the way!

The "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is no saint either. It is powerful and domineering. The fact that the two major sects of Xuanmen are fighting to the death is something that any force would be happy to see.

“Ancestor, perhaps we should first establish our authority.”

Seeing everyone's attention focused on him, Li Yunjing continued, "Although the 'Bluefin Clan' of the Giant Whale Sea is a subordinate demon clan, they control one of the three major spiritual veins of the East Sea. If we can help them defeat the Tianluo Dao Sect, it will not only solve our immediate crisis but also deter those who are watching."

"This plan is good, but I'm afraid we won't have enough people to handle it."

Elder Lei Ze frowned and said in a deep voice, "'Tianluo Dao Sect' has sent experts to lie in ambush in various sea areas, attempting to destroy teleportation arrays and spiritual veins. If our main force goes out in full force, 'Shenxiao Island' may be ambushed."

The council hall fell into a deathly silence. The "Shenxiao Dao Sect" had sent nine top experts, which seemed like a lot, but compared to the "Tianluo Dao Sect," they were simply outnumbered.

The Tianluo Dao Sect dispatched at least thirty-six Nascent Soul Realm cultivators—a truly astonishing number.

Everyone was at the same level. Even though the nine Nascent Soul Realm experts dispatched by the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" were all masters, the nine of them were not confident that they could fight against so many Nascent Soul Realm experts!

Just then, Elder Wu Cheng's "communication talisman" vibrated once.

He looked down and his expression changed.

"Esteemed Ancestors! Deputy Sect Leader! The survivors of 'Turtle Snake Island' have brought the latest news: a large mineral vein has been discovered in the 'Azure Wave Sea.' Some powerful figures are unwilling to be swallowed up by the 'Heavenly Net Dao Sect' and are organizing a counterattack!"

Elder Wu Cheng said excitedly.

"it is good!"

The Five Elements Master suddenly stood up and finally heard some good news.

"Azure Sea" is also one of the three adjacent sea areas.

Since the experts of "Azure Sea" are no longer without desires, this is an opportunity to win them over.

"Li Yunjing, you will immediately lead a team to 'Turtle Snake Island' and tell them that the 'East Sea Alliance' will be held on 'Divine Firmament Island' in ten days. If you are absent again, you will not be protected by the alliance!"

The Five Elements Master looked at Li Yunjing and gave instructions.

"Disciple accepts the order!"

Li Yunjing accepted the order with a stern expression.

With the nine Nascent Soul Realm experts unable to act, only Li Yunjing had enough influence to negotiate on equal terms with the people of "Turtle Snake Island".

Be careful on the road.

Three talismans covered in flame runes flew out from the sleeve of the Five Elements True Man. "In case of emergency, crush these talismans. They contain my full-force attack! Even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would find it difficult to resist!"

Li Yunjing took the talisman and led ten Golden Core cultivators out of the council hall, stepping onto the "teleportation array".

Amidst flashes of blue light, the group appeared on the outskirts of "Shenxiao Island".

"Vice Sect Leader Li, which way should we go? Should we fly there discreetly, or use warships?"

"A Golden Core Realm expert from Chaoyang Peak," Liu Yu asked.

"Keep it low-key!"

Without hesitation, Li Yunjing said directly, "Our arrival in the East Sea to form an alliance has already caused quite a stir. The people of the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' definitely have the intention to hunt us down! We must be careful!"

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The ten Golden Core Realm experts had great faith in Li Yunjing, their deputy sect leader.

Li Yunjing and the others transformed into eleven streaks of light, speeding along the sea surface.

The salty sea breeze, carrying water droplets, formed a faint barrier around them, completely concealing their presence.

In the depths of the ocean, huge black shadows occasionally flashed by, making everyone's palms sweat, but they always suppressed the urge to explore and focused on moving forward.

Halfway there, strange ripples suddenly appeared on the sea surface, and countless luminous plankton gathered into a vortex, outlining a hideous ghost face under the moonlight.

Liu Yu's expression changed drastically, and he lowered his voice, saying, "Vice Sect Leader Li, this is a sign of the 'Netherworld Soul-Guiding Lamp.' Someone is using forbidden techniques nearby!"

Just as Li Yunjing was about to order a detour, a blood-red pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping their escape light.

Countless chains formed from yin energy emerged from the pillar of light and wrapped around the people.

"Oh no, it's the demonic 'Blood Binding Array'!"

A flash of light appeared in Li Yunjing's hand, and the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" was drawn with a clang. With a swing of the sword, he severed the chains and shouted, "What kind of demonic cultivators are you? Why are you attacking us?"

Ten Golden Core cultivators quickly formed the "Ten Directions Annihilation Formation," with ten beams of light intertwining into a net that clashed fiercely with the crimson pillar of light, coordinating with Li Yunjing's attack.
