Fairy, I am truly a virtuous gentleman!

As a renowned and prosperous heaven in the universe, Da Xuan Tian has a total of thirteen major cultivation holy sites to govern the world.

More than 90% of the land under heaven belongs to him.

Among them, there are eight orthodox immortal sects, consisting of seven schools and one palace.

The Seven Sects refer to the Taiqing Sect, Qingmi Sect, Taiyi Sword Sect, Chiming Sect, Huangquan Sect, Luofeng Sect, and Hehuan Sect.

The first palace was the Yintian Palace of King Zhou.

In addition, there are three other mythical islands overseas: Penglai, Fanghu, and Yingzhou.

In the end, only two lineages remained: one Confucian and one Buddhist, which became the Daji Academy and the Daleiyin Temple.

These thirteen sacred sites for cultivation, aside from the mysterious Three Mountains overseas, are all colossal entities spanning the heavens.

In the past, the thirteen great cultivation holy lands were the sole rulers of this world. Other lineages either had to submit or be driven out of the Great Xuantian by a joint effort.

Among the thirteen holy lands, the Immortal Path is the most revered and powerful. The seven sects and one palace are closely connected, advance and retreat in tacit agreement, and unite against external forces when necessary, commanding the Great Mystery and being the supreme rulers.

The three mountains overseas are isolated from the world, neither greedy nor thieving, remaining neutral.

Faced with this powerful force, Confucianism and Buddhism barely managed to maintain their traditions, occupying a certain territory and becoming inferior.

These three elements constitute the unchanging pattern of the Great Xuantian over ten thousand years.

However, with the sudden rise of a certain name, a strange and fragile balance is showing signs of being broken.

The Great Li Immortal Dynasty!

Ning Muxian!

This person is suspected to have received the legacy of an immortal two hundred years ago, comprehended the true scriptures in the mountains and wilderness, attained the Dao in one night, reaped the Dao fruit, became a Dao Lord, transcended calamities, and entered the Pure Yang realm.

Later, he was won over and granted amnesty by the current Holy Emperor of Dali, and was appointed as the National Preceptor. At the same time, Dali called itself the Immortal Dynasty, wanting to be on par with the lofty Immortal Sect Holy Land.

This move has drawn criticism and pressure.

As one of the forty-nine Great Heavens that will never fall in the universe, the Great Xuan Heaven is of paramount importance to the foundation of sects and the inheritance of their lineages. Its status cannot be shaken in the slightest.

The Great Immortal Dynasty's act of establishing itself is reminiscent of the ancient Heavenly Court era, a grave taboo that undoubtedly provokes the face of the Holy Land.

The saying "When immortals do not appear, the Pure Yang Dao Venerable is the strongest" is indeed true.

However, the sacred cultivation grounds have profound foundations and contain more than one Dao Venerable expert. How could they tolerate such arrogance?

Therefore, more than ten immortal masters from various sects arrived together, determined to annihilate the supreme lineage of the Great Li with overwhelming force, demonstrating the unparalleled power of the holy land and using this precedent as a warning to other ambitious individuals.

However, it is counterproductive.

Despite the need to protect their reputation and the dignity of their sacred land, the Dao Venerables of the Immortal Sect and Sacred Land did not join forces in a coordinated attack.

However, Ning Muxian's offensive supernatural abilities were strange and unique, extremely rare, and unparalleled in the world. He alone blocked the successive attacks of the Dao Venerables of the Immortal Sect and Holy Land, shocking the world!

Ning Muxian also became famous in one battle and was hailed as the number one pure yang in the Great Xuantian!

The situation has reached a delicate stalemate. If we disregard everything and insist on suppressing Dali, how can we survive under the combined might of the Holy Lands?

However, doing so would be tantamount to annihilating the entire Dali Kingdom, resulting in an excessive amount of bloodshed.

It will also deplete the resources and talent of the Great Xuantian itself, since the Great Li is not solely supported by Ning Muxian.

The Great Li Kingdom itself has a remarkable background; in the past, the Great Li Holy Ancestor led twelve powerful warriors to ascend to the Great Xuan Heaven.

Although he was from the lower realm, he was equally brave and unparalleled. After thousands of years of fighting, he managed to carve out his own territory amidst fierce competition among the thousands of Daoist lineages under the Holy Land.

If it weren't for the fact that the Great Ancestor of the Great Li was already nearing the end of his lifespan and was only kept alive by the feedback from his position in the Great Xuantian after his ascension, making it difficult for him to achieve immortality, it would still be unknown whether the situation would remain the same today.

Therefore, even if Ning Muxian is stopped, destroying everything in the Great Li will not be an easy task. After all, each family will need to allocate troops to suppress the unrest and quell future troubles, which could easily delay the opportunity to fight outside the realm.

Therefore, attacking and destroying Dali at this time would do more harm than good.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the Great Li Holy Emperor suddenly took the initiative to invite all the sect leaders, Dao Venerables, and Holy Land Masters to gather at the palace, frankly admitting that everything was his momentary mistake and wanting to reconcile.

With this stepping stone in place, the various immortal sects and holy lands, after discussion, announced to the world that they had decided not to pursue the Great Li Immortal Dynasty's mistake of self-proclaiming itself as a holy land, and to acknowledge its status as an immortal dynasty.

However, the Great Li Immortal Dynasty also had to pay a price: it had to join forces with several holy lands to wage war against the heavens and expand into the outer realms.

The Holy Emperor of Dali readily agreed.

From then on, although the consensus that the thirteen great cultivation holy lands were the true rulers of the Great Xuan Heaven remained unshaken, the reputation of the Great Li Immortal Dynasty resounded throughout the Great Xuan Heaven, even attracting the attention of countless beings from beyond the heavens.

Everyone knows that a new force has suddenly risen in the Great Xuan Heaven. It can face the might of the Immortal Sects and Holy Lands without surrendering. It seems to be temporarily submitting, but in reality, it has forced them to take a step back.

To those with ulterior motives, this generation's Holy Emperor of Dali is indeed an ambitious figure.

Ning Muxian possesses extraordinary talent and has already gained considerable influence, making her difficult to control!

Even though the Great Li Dynasty successfully ascended to the status of a Celestial Dynasty, its reign lasted only a little over ten thousand years. Its accumulated power was too shallow, and it needed to seek more ways to expand its influence.

Thus, the grand gathering of all laws came about.

Prior to this, all Daoist discussions and ceremonies in the Great Xuantian were held by the sacred immortal sects, and only they had sufficient confidence and qualifications.

For example, the list of those who ascend to immortality.

This list was compiled by the Taiqing Sect, the leading sect of immortals, based on intelligence gathered by a group of Supreme Dao Lords and Dao Venerables, who personally calculated and evaluated it.

It encompasses all heroes under the age of fifty in both the Golden Core and Primordial Spirit realms.

In each realm, one hundred outstanding talents are selected and given additional rewards.

It can be said that anyone who makes it onto this list will almost certainly attain the position of a True Lord of the Primordial Spirit, and there is also a high probability that they can seek the Dao Fruit and become a Dao Lord.

Qiao Shuang's name, Lingyin Fairy, ranks twelfth on the Golden Core Ascension List.

Although it seems that she didn't even make it into the top ten, it should be noted that, apart from Qiao Shuang, all the people in the top twenty are true disciples of the immortal sects and holy lands!

Many people strive for fame and fortune, resorting to any means necessary to enter the Ascension List, which inadvertently increases the authority of the sacred immortal sects.

In an attempt to challenge this authority, Ning Muxian and the Great Li Holy Emperor followed the example of the Holy Land and announced that a grand gathering of myriad laws would be held every five years. They also established a ranking list of geniuses below the Golden Core stage, known as the Hidden Dragon Ranking, which means "a hidden dragon in the abyss."

To be eligible for the list, individuals must be under 30 years old and have not yet reached the Golden Core stage.

Of course, lacking the appeal of a sacred immortal sect, the Great Li Holy Emperor offered many irresistible conditions and benefits.

One of the most important rewards is that the top fifty on the latest Hidden Dragon Ranking after the Grand Gathering of Myriad Laws will be able to enter the secret realm of the Ji Clan of the Great Li Dynasty, the Crimson Abyss!

Rumor has it that Chi Yuan possesses a great opportunity to help the alchemists of the Divine Palace condense a first-grade golden core, and at the very least, to condense a third-grade golden core!

It should be noted that the quality of the golden pills condensed by the alchemists of the Divine Palace is divided into nine grades and three levels.

The three highest ranks, the three middle ranks, and the three lowest ranks.

In the sacred lands of immortal sects, those who do not reach the upper three ranks of the Golden Core stage are considered to have exhausted their potential. They are often sent out by the sect to open up new Dao channels, becoming marginal figures who can no longer call themselves true disciples of the immortal sect and enjoy many benefits.

As soon as the news of the Crimson Abyss quota spread, countless people went crazy for it, including disciples of the immortal sects.

The name of the Grand Gathering of All Laws gradually spread.

...

...

"Young master, aren't we going to attend the ceremony?"

Qiao Shuang nestled in Ning Yuan's arms and asked softly.

"No, it's pointless."

Ning Yuan lay on the jade couch, his hand gently tracing the smooth, snow-white skin of his maid, and said indifferently, "Just wait and see. Anyway, all these so-called geniuses combined can't compare to my maid. What's so interesting about them?"

Qiao Shuang blushed with shyness, but was overjoyed. She couldn't help but let out a coquettish cry, her plump and beautiful body swaying slightly.

"I heard that in addition to the Fairy Chu Lingci from before, Princess Liuli, who is ranked first on the Rouge List and is both beautiful and talented, will also make an appearance at this Grand Gathering of Myriad Laws."

Ning Yuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"You mean, Ji Daoyun?"
