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

The disciples he encountered on the road all bowed to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun was very approachable, smiling and nodding at them. When Ye Liuyun wasn't making a move, she was quiet and gentle, a peerless beauty.

But who would have thought that such a pure and beautiful woman would be so brutal when she fights, a complete female tyrant.

She circled around a few times and finally arrived at Lin Qingyou's location. Lin Qingyou had been in the array control room of the Immortal Realm of Longevity. Only Ye Liuyun and Lin Qingyou could enter this place, so it was basically Lin Qingyou's residence now.

Lin Qingyou, after a year, has now returned to her previous appearance, looking to be in her early twenties. As for her cultivation level, she has already reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Master, how is the situation? How long will it take to repair the array connecting to Earth?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Lin Qingyou immediately gave a time.

"It will take at least two more years."

"So slow?" Ye Liuyun was somewhat surprised.

"Nonsense, this is constructing a dimensional portal, not an ordinary teleportation portal, so it naturally takes time. If you're bored, go back to the Supreme Induction Sect to find your wife, or go travel around and have some fun. Don't keep coming here to see me," Lin Qingyou said, rolling her eyes.

Ye Liuyun smiled faintly, then left, however...

"Sigh! I'm suddenly bored. Did I go too fast? Should I just keep a low profile and live a more low-key life? That would be more fun." Ye Liuyun began to regret being so high-profile.

She doesn't need to cultivate, lacks nothing, and is a complete idle person.

"We congratulate the Immortal Realm on its first anniversary in the Flying Immortal Domain. We request Venerable Ye to come out and meet us, as we have important matters to discuss with you." Just after Ye Liuyun left Lin Qingyou, a powerful voice transmitted from outside.

This Heavenly Array was set up by the Dao Alliance, and only the Dao Alliance has the ability to tear a hole in the array to transmit sound.

"It's the Dao Alliance again. They're like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken; they're definitely up to no good." Ye Liuyun muttered to himself, then teleported outside the formation.

Upon arrival, Ye Liuyun discovered that Wu Bingyuan was outside with a group of people, totaling sixteen. Although Ye Liuyun hadn't traveled much in the Flying Immortal Domain, he knew exactly which important figures were there.

Of the sixteen people before us, Wu Bingyuan aside, the other fifteen are all Holy Lords of the fifteen Holy Lands of the Flying Immortal Domain.

Ye Liuyun felt differently about these people. Some clearly had friendly eyes, some obviously harbored hostility, and others had complicated expressions. Ye Liuyun had seen all of these people in the information provided by Wanbaolou. Among them, the Wang family head and the Jin family head were definitely on Ye Liuyun's side.

However, in order not to make the other holy lands feel that Ye Liuyun was getting too close to them, Ye Liuyun did not show any particular familiarity.

"It's the Alliance Leader of the Witch Alliance and all the Holy Lords. May I ask what brings you here?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

Although Ye Liuyun's cultivation level is far inferior to theirs, in terms of status, Ye Liuyun's status is no lower than theirs.

"Hehe, Lord Ye, we have come here to resolve the conflict that occurred between us a year ago. I wonder if Lord Ye is willing to reconcile with us?" Wu Bingyuan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun did not give a clear answer, because according to the information the Jin family had given her, Wu Bingyuan was no kind person.

“Aunt, I am Wang Yingtian, and Wang Tongtian is my uncle. You don’t need to worry. We have come here to resolve the conflict.” The head of the Wang family stepped forward and bowed to Ye Liuyun.

The head of the Wang family was shameless, calling Ye Liuyun "aunt" in front of so many people, which made Ye Liuyun a little embarrassed. However, as long as her sibling relationship with Wang Tongtian was still there, no matter how young she was, she was still the head of the Wang family's aunt.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun wouldn't mind if these conflicts could be resolved, since being constantly targeted by certain people would definitely be quite unpleasant.

"Alright, then why don't you all come into my Immortal Realm of Longevity for a chat?" Ye Liuyun waved his hand, and a spatial gate opened.

Wu Bingyuan and the others were quite direct; they flew into the passage without any hesitation. Seeing how confident and fearless these guys were, Ye Liuyun began to wonder what they were up to.

"Strange, aren't they afraid I'll leave them inside? They just go in whenever they want. What are they up to?" Ye Liuyun muttered to herself, but then she followed them inside.

When these Holy Lords entered, they were quite surprised to see the appearance of the Immortal Realm of Longevity before them. Where was the dilapidated feeling of the Sacred Ruins before?

Most importantly, the spiritual energy here is even more concentrated than in their sacred sites.

The five families, including the Holy Lord of Reincarnation, looked around, naturally trying to find out what was so extraordinary about this Immortal Realm of Longevity.

As soon as they entered, the cultivators at the Nirvana Realm or above immediately noticed them. They rushed to the location of the dozen or so people, and their appearance immediately intimidated Wu Bingyuan and the others.

This is a force of over thirty Nirvana cultivators: Xue Qingwu at the Celestial Realm, four at the Reincarnation Realm, six at the Life and Death Realm, plus several at the Yin-Yang Realm and the Five Elements Realm. This is a formidable force.

"Yes, Alliance Leader Wu, and all the Holy Lords, may I ask what brings you to my Immortal Realm of Longevity?" Xue Qingwu asked with an unfriendly expression.

The head of the Wang family quickly stepped forward and politely bowed to Xue Qingwu.

“Aunt, don’t worry, we have no ill intentions in coming here,” the Wang family head said very politely.

Although Xue Qingwu and Wang Tongtian have not officially announced their relationship, Wang Tongtian has made it clear to them that they should treat Xue Qingwu as his wife.

That would naturally be the aunt of the Wang family head, since the Wang family head is Wang Tongtian's nephew.

Xue Qingwu did not deny it.

"That's good. Please come to the main hall for a chat," Xue Qingwu said.

And so, everyone followed Ye Liuyun and Xue Qingwu to the reception hall of the Immortal Realm.

Upon arriving at the main hall, Ye Liuyun naturally took the seat of honor, with Xue Qingwu sitting beside him.

"Alright, everyone, state your purpose for coming," Ye Liuyun gestured.

Wu Bingyuan and the others exchanged glances, and finally Wu Bingyuan spoke on behalf of everyone.

"Lord Ye, our Dao Alliance overreacted to what happened a year ago. On behalf of the Dao Alliance, I apologize to you. Please don't hold it against me, Lord Ye." Wu Bingyuan stood up, walked to the center of the main hall, and bowed to Ye Liuyun in apology.

This Wu Bingyuan is quite a flexible person. It's unbelievable in the cultivation world that a powerful expert of the Celestial Realm would bow down and apologize to a cultivator at the Transformation Realm level.

The people in the Immortal Realm were startled.

Ye Liuyun also exchanged a glance with Xue Qingwu immediately.

"Sister Xue, there's definitely something wrong with this old guy," Ye Liuyun transmitted his voice.

"Hmm, this old man is very cunning. His humble apology must have some other purpose. Let's wait and see." Xue Qingwu agreed with Ye Liuyun's opinion.

Ye Liuyun also quickly stood up.

"Alliance Leader Wu, you are a senior. You are too kind to me. I will not hold what happened before against you. Please tell me your purpose. You did not come here just to apologize, did you?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

Wu Bingyuan rolled his eyes, then straightened up and sat back down in his seat.

"It is like this. In order to maintain the peace and stability of the Flying Immortal Domain, we have come to invite the Immortal Realm of Longevity to join the Dao Alliance and become the sixteenth core member of the Dao Alliance. I wonder what Lord Ye thinks?" Wu Bingyuan said after sitting down.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun understood. Inviting them to join the Dao Alliance meant they would have to abide by the Dao Alliance's rules, thus limiting the development of the Immortal Realm of Longevity. However, there were also advantages: they would have more freedom from now on.

Chapter 699 A Conspiracy (5000 words)

Ye Liuyun certainly didn't agree immediately. This kind of thing needed to be discussed with the higher-ups. She didn't want to decide everyone's fate with just a few words.

"Joining the Dao Alliance? This is no small matter. I need to discuss it carefully with everyone before I can give you an answer. Perhaps you can all take a short break here?" Ye Liuyun said after thinking for a while.

Wu Bingyuan and the others naturally had no objections. If Ye Liuyun had agreed to his request without hesitation, they would probably have suspected that Ye Liuyun was up to no good.

“Of course, please go ahead, Lord Ye,” Wu Bingyuan replied, stroking his beard.

So Ye Liuyun got up and led Xue Qingwu and the others to the side hall next door for a discussion. After entering, Ye Liuyun immediately blocked his divine sense from probing.

After confirming that there were no problems, he then spoke.

"Gentlemen, what do you think? I have a feeling there's a conspiracy going on," Ye Liuyun said, frowning.

Xue Qingwu and the others were also pondering Wu Bingyuan's true intentions.

"Given our relationship with the Wang family, they certainly wouldn't harm us. I think the Dao Alliance will have to use a softer approach if a hard approach doesn't work. But I know this Wu Bingyuan. He's a cultivator from my era. In his youth, he was a cunning and ruthless man with a deep mind. He's also vengeful and adept at navigating social situations. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the leader of the Dao Alliance." Xue Qingwu introduced Wu Bingyuan's background.

After Xue Qingwu finished speaking, it was naturally the turn of the two reincarnation cultivators to speak.

"That's right, Wu Bingyuan is extremely petty. Back then, after he became the leader of the Dao Alliance, he used his power to purge everyone who had offended him. Although our Changsheng Immortal Realm has not directly clashed with him, our conflicts with the Dao Alliance over the past year have certainly offended him to death. If given the chance, he will definitely scheme against us."

"There must be other reasons for inviting us to join the Dao Alliance this time. Of course, it's definitely a good thing for now, at least it will allow our Immortal Realm to expand into the entire Flying Immortal Domain," said the Pavilion Master of Misty Pavilion.

As a veteran powerhouse of the Flying Immortal Realm, he naturally hoped that the Immortal Realm of Longevity could live in the sunlight, rather than in secret.

Lin Hao of the Tianmu Sect shared the same sentiment. Although the other powerful figures had slightly different attitudes, their general meanings were the same.

"Alright then, let's join the Dao Alliance first and see how things go. We'll just do what we're supposed to do, and be a little polite at most," Ye Liuyun said nonchalantly.

Everyone nodded, and they returned to the main hall.

"Ahem, Alliance Leader Wu, we've reached a conclusion. We're willing to join the Dao Alliance, but you need to tell me what we need to do to join," Ye Liuyun said with a smile after sitting down.

Wu Bingyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Ye Liuyun had agreed to join the Dao Alliance.

"Haha, that's wonderful, Lord Ye. The Dao Alliance isn't just my Dao Alliance, but the Dao Alliance of the entire Flying Immortal Domain. Its purpose is to maintain peace in the Flying Immortal Domain, unite against external forces when they invade, and share the burden in times of major crisis. As for the rest, there are many more benefits, but if we were to go into details, it would take a long time, and I doubt Lord Ye would have the time to listen," Wu Bingyuan said.

But Ye Liuyun's next words left him speechless.

"No, no, no, I have plenty of time. Please explain in detail," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

"Huh? This?" Wu Bingyuan was speechless.

Because if we were to talk about this, it would probably take days and nights, as there are many things to discuss and it's quite troublesome.

However, to reassure Ye Liuyun, he took a deep breath and began to explain in detail.

"Ahem, alright then, this old man will explain it to you in detail. First of all, joining the Dao Alliance and becoming an elder of the Dao Alliance comes with many privileges and benefits..."

Time slipped away slowly as Wu Bingyuan gave his detailed introduction. An hour passed, a day passed, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

For three days, Ye Liuyun and the others appeared very patient, constantly raising their own questions. This left Wu Bingyuan with a dry throat, and whether it was intentional on Ye Liuyun's part or not, he didn't even offer them a cup of tea.

"Alright! I've said everything I needed to say, Lord Ye." Wu Bingyuan breathed a deep sigh of relief.

After hearing this, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but find it amusing.

"I'll exhaust you." Of course, you can't say that out loud.

"Ahem, thank you for your trouble, Alliance Leader Wu. Alright, I, Changsheng Immortal Realm, accept the Dao Alliance's invitation," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wu Bingyuan immediately stood up.

“Alright, then I’ll trouble you. When Lord Ye has time, please come to our Dao Alliance to sign the membership agreement. I’ll be waiting for Lord Ye’s esteemed presence at any time,” Wu Bingyuan said with a smile.

"Definitely, I will go as soon as possible," Ye Liuyun replied.

The Dao Alliance and the holy lords of the holy lands were all preparing to leave, but just as they were about to depart, the Holy Lord of Reincarnation suddenly seemed to remember something and turned around to speak.

"Oh, by the way, Lord Ye, our Samsara Holy Land's Samsara Secret Realm will open in a month. According to the usual practice of our Flying Immortal Domain, we will invite all member sects of the Dao Alliance to participate. I wonder if Alliance Leader Ye's Immortal Realm of Longevity would be interested in participating?" asked the Samsara Holy Lord.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback, then quickly looked at the Wang family head.

When Patriarch Wang saw Ye Liuyun's gaze, he immediately nodded to Ye Liuyun. This was to tell Ye Liuyun that the Flying Immortal Domain did indeed have such a custom. This was also to promote the relationship between members of the Dao Alliance, to test the cultivation foundation of the members of the Dao Alliance, and to serve as a good exchange conference.

Almost every holy site opens once every so often. The last time it opened was the Four Extremes Holy Site, which happened five hundred years ago. This time it's the turn of the Reincarnation Holy Site, so it wasn't opened intentionally.

"Such a good thing, our Immortal Realm must participate. I wonder what the requirements are for participation?" Ye Liuyun asked.

“Any cultivator under a thousand years old with a cultivation level above the Transformation Realm is welcome to participate. Lord Ye, if you are interested, you are also eligible to participate due to your age,” the Holy Lord of Reincarnation said with a kind smile.

Ye Liuyun would never miss out on something that could be beneficial.

“Okay, no problem, I will definitely participate.” Ye Liuyun nodded.

Ye Liuyun said this on the surface, but inwardly he was laughing his head off.

"Heh, if you let me participate, wouldn't I just take all the treasures from your secret realm?" This was Ye Liuyun's true thought.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun had agreed to participate, the Holy Lord of Reincarnation left the Immortal Realm of Immortality with everyone else. After they all left, Ye Liuyun and the others returned to the main hall.

"Little sister, I don't think you should go to the Sacred Land of Reincarnation," Xue Qingwu said with a worried expression.

"Hehe, it's alright, don't worry. Letting me participate is definitely the biggest mistake his Sacred Ground of Reincarnation has ever made." Ye Liuyun was full of confidence.

Sending Ye Liuyun to participate in this thing is like Sun Wukong entering the Peach Garden.

"This? Alright." Seeing that Ye Liuyun didn't seem worried at all, Xue Qingwu didn't say anything more.

The very next day, Ye Liuyun took Xue Qingwu to Wudao City. To show the sincerity of their Dao Alliance, Wu Bingyuan summoned all the sect leaders of the member forces to the Dao Alliance, along with fifteen Holy Lords.

"Haha, welcome Venerable Master Ye and Fellow Daoist Xue to the Dao Alliance. This way, please." Wu Bingyuan, leading a group of people, stood at the entrance of the Dao Alliance and said with a smile to Ye Liuyun and Wu Bingyuan.

"Greetings, Venerable Master Ye, greetings, Senior Xue." The sect leaders of the ordinary member forces also bowed and greeted Ye Liuyun and Xue Qingwu. After all, Ye Liuyun joined the Dao Alliance as an elder, and his status was at the Holy Land level, not that of an ordinary member like them.

Although the sect leaders who had their disciples taken were very unwilling, they had no other choice now.

"Haha, you're too kind, everyone. From now on, we're all family. I know that many of you are disciples from various factions who have entered my Immortal Realm of Longevity. I guarantee that once they have mastered their skills, if they want to return, I will not stop them. By the way, I've also allowed them to retain their original sect identities, so they have dual identities," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

These words nearly made the leaders of those forces vomit blood with rage; how could they dare to take the person back?

Finally, witnessed by all members, Ye Liuyun signed a franchise agreement with the Dao Alliance.

This agreement is just a piece of waste paper to Ye Liuyun. Its main purpose is to prevent Ye Liuyun from snatching disciples from other forces. In other words, Ye Liuyun will no longer be able to openly recruit disciples from other forces, and can only recruit disciples without any forces.

In other words, disciples from other factions who want to join the Immortal Realm of Immortality must first leave their original faction; otherwise, the Immortal Realm of Immortality cannot recruit such cultivators.

Then there's the rule that the Immortal Realm cannot do anything that would damage the prestige and interests of the Dao Alliance. That's easy to say; just don't do anything underhanded and keep the Dao Alliance in the dark.

Anyway, Ye Liuyun will still do what she needs to do. Everything she does is not entirely for her own personal reasons, but also for the greater good. The reason she is so anxious and high-profile is twofold: first, the return of the demon race, and second, the threat from the forbidden area.
