Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

But this millennium has passed; they no longer have an advantage.

"I think it's better to follow what we said before. The Yaochi Grand Gathering, which takes place every three hundred years, is coming up soon. I think it's better to choose a new Holy Lord after the Yaochi Grand Gathering is over," said the patriarch of Taixu Palace.

They did come up with a plan, but it is currently in a stage where it has not been unanimously approved.

The four families of Taiqing, Yuqing, Shangqing, and Shaoqing disagreed because their power was the strongest in the past thousand years. If a Holy Lord had to be chosen, it would almost certainly be chosen from among these four families.

The four families of Taixu, Qingxu, Shengxu, and Tianxu are currently considered to be in the middle, and they have always been trying to balance the conflict between the two sides.

Of course, the idea of ​​balancing things out is actually about finding opportunities for these companies within that balance.

“Our four families agree with Fellow Daoist Taixu and the others’ opinions. Since your four families of Yuqing disagree, you must agree to a solution, since none of your four families have a completely suitable candidate,” said the patriarch of Ziwei Palace.

There's no other way; the four families have to show weakness right now. We can only agree to the opinions of the four families led by Taixu in order to have room for negotiation.

“Fellow Daoists, our Nine Heavens Holy Land is currently beset by internal and external troubles. You cannot only think about seizing power. If something unexpected happens to the Nine Heavens Holy Land, it will not benefit any of your four families,” said the patriarch of Tianxu Palace.

Upon hearing this, the patriarch of Yuqing Palace fell into deep thought, and then spoke with the patriarchs of the other three families.

“Alright then, since all eight of you think so, then the four of us will tentatively agree. However, let me make it clear first: Li Xuan currently only holds the title of Holy Lord, but not the power of a Holy Lord. Major affairs of the Nine Heavens Holy Land must be handled by the Elders’ Hall.” The Jade Purity Palace Ancestor replied.

This time, the four of them, including the Purple Star Ancestor, had no choice. Continuing to fight would only weaken them further. They might as well use the remaining two hundred years to think of a solution.

"Alright, let's do as Taixu and the others say," said Ancestor Ziwei helplessly.

"Alright, everyone has heard that. I hope that the four of you will not go back on your word or do anything underhanded. If we find out that you are not following the rules of the Holy Land, don't blame us for being impolite," said Ancestor Yuqing in advance.

After they finished speaking, the four patriarchs got up and left the Holy Lord Palace. After they left, Taixu and the other three families also got up.

In the end, only the four families of Ziwei Palace remained.

"Alas! Ancestor Ziwei, what should we do? Two hundred years is too short a time; it will pass in the blink of an eye," Li Xuan said helplessly.

In fact, the four families originally had suitable candidates, but these suitable candidates had recently perished on the continent of China. It was very sudden and caught them off guard.

"Damn it, I have a feeling that Tianxing's death is related to those four families? Muyun was clearly the most suitable successor to the next Holy Lord, but unfortunately Muyun's imperial blood awakened too late, and they were too selfish and unwilling to wait." Ancestor Ziwei said helplessly.

"Hmph! Senior Sister Ziwei, our four families have suppressed those eight families for a long time. Now that we have the opportunity to transfer the core power of the Holy Land to them, they naturally won't give in. After all, in their eyes, the Holy Land belongs to our Li family, and they are outsiders. They want to take charge." Ancestor Zixiao sighed.

"By the way, the situation in the secular world is not good either. Those vassal kings have now almost completely separated Nanling, Xichuan, Nan, Donghuang and Beiyuan from Zhongzhou. They want to divide and rule. Why do I feel that these eight families are behind them?" Ancestor Ziyang asked suspiciously.

There's not much to say about this issue. Since they've lost power in the Nine Heavens Holy Land, their control over the mortal world will definitely decline as well.

They didn't care what the secular world became. As long as the Li family still held power in the Nine Heavens Holy Land, the Tang Kingdom would remain unchanged.

In the past, they would definitely have tried to quell worldly conflicts.

But this time, they could only watch, because they couldn't afford to give the four families of Yuqing Palace any leverage over them.

Once they find something to hold against you, there will be no room for reconciliation, and they will have to bear all the responsibility. It's not worth it.

"By the way, what exactly is Mu Yun thinking? She doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all?" Ancestor Zixiao looked at Ancestor Ziwei.

When Ancestor Ziwei heard Ancestor Zixiao ask about Li Muyun, he couldn't help but sigh.

This was completely a case of having the will but not the power.

“Alas! This girl harbors great resentment towards our Li family because of what happened back then. To be honest, if she really becomes the Holy Lord, I'm afraid she won't obey our orders and might even turn against us,” said Ancestor Ziwei.

This is highly likely; the Purple Star Ancestor simply doesn't dare to believe Li Muyun.

"Well? How about we ease things up a bit and let them reunite as a family?" Ancestor Ziyang thought for a moment and then offered his suggestion.

However, the Purple Star Ancestor shook his head again.

"It's too late. You probably don't know, but about sixty years ago, the Lin and Ye families of this mortal world disappeared overnight. We don't know if they were secretly wiped out by some force, but we can't find a trace of them at all," the Ziwei Ancestor replied with a complicated expression.

These words surprised the other three.

"What? This? How could this be? Could it be the work of the royal family in the mortal world?" Ancestor Ziheng found it hard to believe.

However, the Purple Star Ancestor still shook his head.

"I think it's unlikely. If the secular royal family returns to Mu Yun's identity, at most they can only suppress, not completely eliminate, these two families. But maybe they can, but we have no way of knowing now. I think we shouldn't put all our hopes on Mu Yun. We should try to prepare in advance. We currently control the three major cultivation worlds of the Eastern Wilderness, Central State, and Western Sichuan. We are not without a chance."

"We must not let them side with Yuqing and his four families. Send trustworthy people to monitor the movements of these three cultivation worlds, and if necessary, use them as a deterrent," Ancestor Ziwei suggested.

The other three nodded in agreement. At such a crucial moment, they absolutely could not allow their own power to weaken.

By the way, the Supreme Response Sect is currently under the control of the four families of Yuqing, which means that the cultivation world of Nanling is not currently under the control of the Li family.

Last time, they sent Li Muyun to the Taishang Ganying Sect in Nanling to watch the grand event, actually hoping to find an opportunity to win over the Taishang Ganying Sect, but unfortunately, he returned empty-handed.

At least they didn't receive any valuable feedback.

As for Beiyuan, it is currently in the hands of the four families of Taixu. Speaking of the cultivation world of Tang Kingdom alone, not counting the Nine Heavens Holy Land, the four families still have an overwhelming advantage.

The reason why the four families of Yuqing are so powerful is primarily because they know that Li Muyun will not side with the four families of Ziwei.

Then they learned that a peerless genius had appeared in the Tai Shang Gan Ying Sect, so they weren't in a hurry to wait. In fact, the four families were putting on an act with the Tai Xu Four Families.

By deliberately creating this tripartite balance of power, they put Ziwei and the other three families in a passive position. The four families were unaware that the Supreme Response Sect had produced a peerless genius, because neither Li Muyun nor Xu Heng mentioned it.

Clearly, Xu Heng has probably been won over and bribed by the other two factions, which is why he didn't report Ye Liuyun's matter to the Ziwei Ancestor and the others.

In fact, after learning that the power of Ziwei and the other three families was beginning to decline, many of them began to choose sides.

Many major forces in the cultivation world of Tang Kingdom have also begun to make arrangements for their future.

Many cultivators from the Nirvana Realm have been recruited by the Jade Purity Four Palaces. They cannot stop them, and can only ensure that the Nirvana cultivators of the Li family will not betray them.

Two days later, in the main hall of the Spirit Sword Sect, today is the day Ye Liuyun collects money, and also the day Ye Liuyun officially announces the internal structure of the Cloud Organization.

She wants to say everything she needs to say today, and then go to the mortal world to find the Dongfang family.

"Everyone, Senior Guanyue of the Tianluo Sect has decided to join our Yunduan Sect. From now on, Senior Guanyue will be the Grand Elder of the Yunduan Headquarters, with a status and authority second only to mine." Ye Liuyun's first action was to announce Guanyue's joining to everyone.

Although Guan Yue was somewhat reluctant to hear this, she still formally walked to the center of the main hall and bowed to Ye Liuyun.

"Guan Yue is willing to accept the Lord's appointment, will never betray Yun Duan, and is willing to advance and retreat with Yun Duan," Guan Yue declared.

As soon as these words were spoken, the other cultivators present could already foresee the future prospects of Yun Duan.

"Your subordinate greets the Grand Elder." Jiang Wanshan quickly stood up and bowed to Guan Yue, which was considered an acknowledgment of Guan Yue's identity.

Guan Yue immediately nodded to everyone, which was considered a greeting.

Ye Liuyun was generous and took out the pills that had been agreed upon earlier.

"Senior Guanyue, this is the pill I promised you, the Evergreen Life-Sustaining Pill. Please take it." Ye Liuyun waved his hand, and another Evergreen Life-Sustaining Pill flew towards Guanyue.

Guan Yue naturally knew how valuable the pill in front of her was; it was practically priceless because you couldn't buy it.

This kind of pill is not sold in the cultivation world of Tang Kingdom at all; one can only buy it by leaving Tang Kingdom's cultivation world and going to the Divine Continent.

Unfortunately, without the cultivation of the Nirvana Realm, no one can leave the Tang Kingdom, so this elixir is priceless and exists only in legends.

Guan Yue hurriedly took the pill, her eyes revealing a burning desire. Clearly, no matter how calm she was, she couldn't truly appreciate the value of this pill.

Five hundred years is enough for her to continue breaking through her cultivation level.

After saying that, Guan Yue swallowed the pill. As the pill entered her body and was digested, her silver hair quickly turned black, and she suddenly looked like a young girl.

Guan Yue felt the changes in her body and was very happy; even her mindset became younger.

"Thank you for your gift, my lord," Guan Yue said with great emotion.

“This is what you deserve,” Ye Liuyun replied.

After saying that, Ye Liuyun turned his gaze to the others.

"Everyone, you see? As long as you remain loyal to Cloud, I will not be stingy with you. Next, we will announce various appointments and Cloud's operating methods. Of course, let Alliance Leader Chu read these aloud." Ye Liuyun gestured to Chu Menghan.

Chu Menghan nodded, then walked up to Ye Liuyun, took out a scroll, opened it, and began to read it aloud.

Starting today, the cloud computing industry is truly entering a operational phase, or rather, a phase of rapid development.

Chu Menghan spent half an hour explaining all the details clearly, and then it was time to collect the franchise fee.

This franchise fee is the construction fee I mentioned last time, which all forces joining the Cloud Organization must pay as appropriate. Then there are the annual operating expenses, which all forces must also pay, but certainly not as much as the franchise fee.

After announcing all the expenses, the next step was to announce the number of slots available for each major power to move into the Cloud Headquarters. They were to go home and choose their own slots; Ye Liuyun did not intend to designate anyone.

Another thing is to announce the rules.

Ye Liuyun forbade them from casually announcing that they were members of the Cloud Organization. They needed to maintain a low profile and temporarily cease recruiting new members or expanding their sphere of influence.

Next came the matter of building the headquarters. Ye Liuyun was too lazy to get involved in these things; she had done everything she could. These were the simplest tasks, and Chu Menghan could handle them herself.

Ye Liuyun called Guan Yue and Jiang Wanshan over separately.

"Elder, I'll be leaving tomorrow, so I'll be leaving Yun Duan in your care," Ye Liuyun said to Guan Yue first.

Guan Yue nodded without saying anything more.

After speaking with Guan Yue, Ye Liuyun looked at Jiang Wanshan.

"Elder Jiang, I'd like to trouble you to accompany me to the mortal world tomorrow," Ye Liuyun said again.

Jiang Wanshan immediately smiled and agreed.

"No problem, I'd be delighted."

After arranging everything, Ye Liuyun left the main hall and returned to his residence. He hadn't planned to take Fan Ling and the others with him this time, so he left them at the Spirit Sword Sect.

"Oh? Are they going to leave us behind again?" Fan Ling complained.

But Ye Liuyun shook his head.

“This time is different. This time you can play freely within our Cloud Kingdom's territory. I won’t restrict you. But don’t go too far on your own. Take good care of Bai Lin and Jin Chen,” Ye Liuyun instructed.

Fan Ling was delighted to hear this, as it was definitely much better than staying in Bixia Valley, since there was a much larger area to move around in.

"Okay, I promise I'll complete the mission. But, Miss, could you leave Lan Wei with me?" Fan Ling asked with a playful smile.

Ye Liuyun thought about it for a moment and did not refuse, so she handed Lan Wei over to her directly.

"Alright, then you can keep it for self-defense." Ye Liuyun nodded.

Alright, everything is arranged now, nothing has been missed.

And so, the next day, early in the morning, Ye Liuyun left the Spirit Sword Sect with Jiang Wanshan and flew to the mortal world on a flying magic weapon.

That matter is now settled.

Let's talk about Lin Aoxue, who is currently training in the Taixu Secret Realm. During this time, Lin Aoxue has been extremely cautious. She has hardly met anyone and has been acting alone.

She has discovered several hidden treasures and secret realms of inheritance in the past few days, and has gained a lot, but she still hasn't found the core inheritance.

However, today she discovered a large secret realm, which should be the place where one of the core inheritances of the Supreme Response Sect is hidden.

This is a black soil mountain range where you can't see any life. Not a single blade of grass grows on the mountain, but it's not all rock either.

Lin Aoxue hid in the shadows, observing the surroundings. She discovered that there were disciples from many other factions in this area, and these disciples were moving towards an area that resembled a volcano.

"So many people? It seems that the inheritance here is most likely the core inheritance. I just wonder what level of monsters are guarding this place."

Lin Aoxue is currently in stealth mode; this is Ye Liuyun's invisibility pill.

She used this elixir to avoid contact with most cultivators and disappeared from the sight of all the trial participants.

Because Lin Aoxue is currently unaware of exactly how many factions want to harm her, she can only hide for now.

Lin Aoxue may seem reckless, but in reality, her recklessness is always calculated. She at least needs to ensure her own safety before acting recklessly.

This time, she faces unknown enemies and unknown troubles, so she has to lay low for the time being. After all, she is not Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun will not die, so there is no need to worry. But if she encounters a too strong enemy, she may lose her life.

"Hey! Where did Lin Aoxue go? It's like she's vanished." As Lin Aoxue walked, she suddenly saw a few people. Judging from their clothes, they were disciples of Tiancang Peak.

"Who knows? I actually can't really follow our sect's approach. If it fails, the consequences could be dire," a Tiancang Peak disciple said.

Generally, if a faction wants to target a goddess, it is a decision made by the entire faction, and their disciples can only obey.

Anyway, as long as they kill Lin Aoxue within the rules, it doesn't matter even if people know it was them who did it, since the rules allow it, unless you make the rules not allow it.

Upon hearing this, Lin Aoxue's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she decisively attacked the group. These people were no match for Lin Aoxue, and she killed them in the blink of an eye. They didn't even see who killed them.

"Sorry, since you want to kill me, don't blame me for being ruthless." After killing these people, Lin Aoxue glanced at the corpses and then disappeared again.

Meanwhile, at the main hall of the Supreme Response Sect, several more tokens in front of Peak Master Tiancang shattered, causing his expression to shift between anger and uncertainty.

The disciples who have died the most so far are from the four peaks of Tiangang Peak, Tiancang Peak, Xuanpo Peak, and Xuanqing Peak.

Tian Gang Peak lost three people, Tian Cang Peak lost seven people, Xuan Po Peak lost five people, and Xuan Qing Peak lost three people.
