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

"Master, you've arrived." As soon as Ye Liuyun arrived in front of the Nine Wonders Divine Tree, the tree flashed with light, and a woman dressed in an emerald green dress appeared before him.

This is the spirit of the Nine Wonders Divine Tree, which means that the Nine Wonders Divine Tree has already transformed into a demon.

"Yes! Jiu Miao, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill the promise I made to your Taiji Holy Land ancestors. I have already begun to reclaim everything that belongs to the Taiji Holy Land," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

The Nine Wonders Divine Tree glanced at the peach tree beside it.

"Master, with the Immortal Tree by your side, you are destined to be a person of great fortune. I believe that you will definitely be able to help our Taiji Holy Land take revenge. If you need anything in the future, just ask Miao'er, and I will do my best to fulfill your request," the tree spirit said with a smile.

Ye Liuyun nodded.

"That's natural. By the way, how long do you expect it to take for my peach tree to transform into a demon like yours?" Ye Liuyun asked.

The Nine Wonders Divine Tree shook its head.

“Master, I am merely a tree spirit, not yet at the stage of transforming into a demon. However, it took me ten thousand years to condense my spiritual body, and the immortal tree will likely need even longer,” the Nine Wonders Divine Tree stated.

Ye Liuyun thought about it and agreed.

After saying that, she walked to the peach tree and placed her hand on it.

"Little Peach, do me a favor. Use your tree roots to extract the spiritual veins of those major sects around here," Ye Liuyun said to the peach tree using his divine sense.

Sun Yuan in the tree seemed to hear Ye Liuyun's telepathic message.

"Huh? You're really shameless, girl. You actually want to force those bigwigs to submit in this way." Sun Yuan was speechless.

After receiving Ye Liuyun's order, the peach tree's roots, which were embedded in the earth's veins, began to extend at an extremely rapid speed, following the earth's veins and extending towards the areas where the surrounding sects were located.

In less than ten minutes, the earth veins of those sects were connected to the roots of the peach tree. Then, they began to use their roots to draw the earth vein energy into the Immortal Realm of Longevity, where it was transformed into rich spiritual energy that spread from the tree. The concentration of spiritual energy in the Immortal Realm of Longevity began to soar wildly.

The first to notice the increased spiritual energy was naturally Xue Qingwu.

"Huh? Why has the spiritual energy in the Immortal Realm suddenly become so dense?" Xue Qingwu was surprised.

She quickly closed her eyes and went deep underground to sense the energy. She discovered that a large amount of earth vein energy was converging on their Immortal Realm from all directions. Following the direction of the earth vein energy, she quickly found that this spiritual energy was flowing towards the valley where Ye Liuyun was.

"Did my little sister make this tree?" Xue Qingwu then noticed the beautiful tree at Ye Liuyun's residence, which was quite extraordinary.

Because it is this big tree that is drawing energy from the surrounding earth veins.

"I see, I understand now. No wonder my little sister said that this is the method used to get those major sects to surrender or move away." Xue Qingwu smiled.

In just half an hour, the major sects within the former Taiji Holy Land territory began to notice the problem of spiritual energy loss.

"What's going on? Why is the spiritual energy in the sect becoming so thin?" The Nirvana cultivators in Yuyang Palace reacted immediately.

Not only Yuyang Palace, but at the same time all the major sects experienced a rapid decrease in spiritual energy. The medicinal herbs they had planted in the spiritual fields also began to wither due to the loss of spiritual energy.

In just about an hour, the spiritual energy in the areas where these major sects were located vanished. Not only did the medicinal herbs wither, but all the plants in their areas also withered and died as if they had entered autumn or winter.

Although the Nirvana cultivators immediately realized that there was a problem with the earth veins, they tried to stop the flow of earth vein energy. However, no matter how much they tried to stop it, they could not prevent the earth vein energy from being drawn away. Following the flow of earth vein energy, they soon discovered that the earth vein energy was flowing towards the location of the Immortal Realm of Longevity.

"Damn it, is the Immortal Realm of Longevity up to something? What method did they use to forcibly change the flow of the earth's vein energy? What are we going to do? Without the earth's vein energy, this place is a dead land, utterly worthless." The sect leaders were terrified.

Their ancestors occupied these places because they were rich in spiritual energy and suitable for cultivation. This is why they were unwilling to move or surrender. But now all the earth's energy has been diverted, leaving them like parched land. If they stay here, their cultivation will come to a standstill.

Within the former Taiji Holy Land, there are now more than twenty major sects entrenched. Their leaders arrived at the area where the Immortal Realm of Longevity was located immediately. There was no other way; Ye Liuyun's move was too ruthless.

"Yuheng requests an audience with Lord Ye at Yuyang Palace."

"Zhang Miao from Shenyin Pavilion requests an audience with Lord Ye."

"Ning Yuan requests an audience with Lord Ye at the Northern Cang Divine Palace."

……

More than twenty sect leaders came to the outside of the Immortal Realm to request an audience with Ye Liuyun; they had come to negotiate with him.

Ye Liuyun, who was sitting with Xue Qingwu and others in the Lord's Hall of the Immortal Realm, smiled after hearing the sounds outside.

"Gentlemen, did you see that? I told you they would definitely come to me for help," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Lin Hao and the others were completely in awe of Ye Liuyun, who had subdued these powerful sects with a single move.

Ye Liuyun disappeared from his original spot and reappeared outside the Li Tian Formation.

"Eh? Seniors, what brings you to see me?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

These sect leaders were so angry at Ye Liuyun's feigned ignorance that they wanted to vomit blood, but they had no other choice now.

“Lord Ye, we have received notifications from the Dao Alliance and your region. We are willing to submit to the Immortal Realm of Longevity and become its subordinate force. We implore Lord Ye to show leniency,” someone said directly.

But how could Ye Liuyun agree to them so easily? Because these guys were currently forced to submit to the Immortal Realm of Longevity, and they could be sentenced to surrender to the Immortal Realm of Longevity at any time.

"But when I sent people to your door, didn't you all refuse?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

Everyone was embarrassed.

"Alas! Lord Ye, what do you wish to do?" Yu Heng and the others asked helplessly.

Ye Liuyun wasted no more time.

"Simple. To ensure that you truly wish to submit to our Immortal Realm, I require you to send your sect's most outstanding disciples to the Immortal Realm for cultivation. I also require you to dispatch elders from the Nirvana Secret Realm to serve as elders in the Immortal Realm. To put it bluntly, they are hostages for a period of one hundred years. After one hundred years, they will be released to return to their respective sects." Ye Liuyun stated his requirements directly.

The moment this request was made, their expressions changed.

"You? Lord Ye, aren't you making things difficult for me?" Yu Heng found this condition hard to accept.

But Ye Liuyun wasn't going to negotiate with them.

"Then you should move out. If you move out, everything will be fine. If you can't even accept a hundred years, how can you prove that you are truly joining the Immortal Realm of Longevity? Alright, I'm not going to waste any more words on you. I don't have much patience. I'll only say this once. If you refuse, then that's it." Ye Liuyun said as he turned to leave.

When everyone saw Ye Liuyun about to leave, their faces twitched violently.

"Alright, Lord Ye, we agree to your request. We will immediately dispatch our sect's most outstanding disciple and a Nirvana Realm expert to the Immortal Realm." They had no choice but to accept Ye Liuyun's offer.

Because making them move out would be a devastating blow.

Ye Liuyun smiled.

"Alright, then I'll wait for you here. Remember, don't try anything funny. Just send someone to deal with me, and I'll have no choice but to deal with you too," Ye Liuyun said beforehand.

Yu Heng and the others quickly contacted their respective factions, asking them to send a young elder with the sect's most outstanding disciples to the Immortal Realm of Immortality.

If a Nirvana cultivator arrives with a group, it must be quite fast. Soon, a group of young men and women in the Transformation Realm, led by Nirvana experts, crossed space and arrived. These young prodigies were still unaware of what had happened or why they had been brought here.

"What happened, Palace Master? Why did you send us here?" the Nirvana cultivators asked hurriedly.

Their leader reluctantly explained the situation to them. When they learned that their forces were to submit to the Immortal Realm of Immortality, and that they would be hostages to remain there for a hundred years, their expressions changed drastically.

At the same time, they finally realized that the reason why the spiritual energy of their faction had disappeared was all the work of the Immortal Realm of Immortality, which was forcing them to submit.

"Alright, Lord Ye, we've delivered the people. We guarantee they are absolutely the most outstanding disciples in our respective factions. We hope you will treat them well," said Yu Heng and the others helplessly.

Ye Liuyun glanced at these young cultivators and found that they were indeed quite outstanding.

"Alright, how about this? To show our sincerity, I invite you all to come into the Immortal Realm for a chat. I guarantee you won't regret it," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

They were now nominally Ye Liuyun's subordinates, so naturally they could only obey Ye Liuyun's orders. Thus, Ye Liuyun opened a spatial passage and led everyone into the Immortal Realm of Immortality.

Upon entering the Immortal Realm of Longevity, they were immediately shocked. The spiritual energy here was incredibly dense; it was definitely a sacred place for cultivation, far surpassing any other sacred place they had ever visited.

Their disciples can cultivate here much faster than they would in their own sects.

Ye Liuyun was very polite and led them to the Venerable Lord's Hall. Then he talked to them in detail about some things. After all, joining the Immortal Realm of Longevity was not just a matter of a few words, but also involved a lot of things that needed to be discussed.

However, when these leaders of forces emerged from the Immortal Realm of Longevity, their previous displeasure vanished, replaced by beaming smiles, because they had received immense benefits from Ye Liuyun.

After all, who can refuse preferential treatment that exceeds their expectations?

As for what Ye Liuyun gave them or what conditions he agreed to, none of that matters; what matters is that he certainly met their needs.

The cultivation world is a place where interests are intertwined; as long as there are interests involved, everything is negotiable.

Upon returning to their respective sects, they discovered that the sects' spiritual energy had been restored. At the same time, they immediately announced to the outside world that from this day forward, they belonged to the Immortal Realm of Longevity, and their territories also belonged to the Immortal Realm of Longevity.

These major sects suddenly changed their minds and agreed to submit to the Immortal Realm of Immortality. Naturally, the smaller sects had no choice but to submit to the Immortal Realm of Immortality at the same time.

Let's look at the attitude of the Holy Land of Reincarnation.

"What? In just one day, all these major sects have submitted to us? How is that possible? What exactly did Ye Liuyun do?" The Reincarnation Saint Lord and his group gathered together again.

“According to the information I received, the Immortal Realm of Immortality used some unknown means to drain the earth vein energy from their sect, leaving them without any spiritual energy. That’s ruthless. Tell me, which sect could withstand that? Moreover, Ye Liuyun only gave them two choices: either move away or submit. He even demanded that they send Nirvana Elders and their sect’s best disciples to the Immortal Realm of Immortality to cultivate, essentially as hostages,” Star Radiance Saint Lord explained.

The Holy Lord of Reincarnation's face immediately twitched; this was indeed ruthless.

But they won't let it go so easily.

"Quickly, move all the resource points in those areas away. We can't leave them for the Immortal Realm," the Holy Lord of Reincarnation said hastily.

In reality, all five families had already started moving, but it would take time to complete the move.

Ye Liuyun didn't give them any time at all. After all the major sects submitted, Ye Liuyun immediately sent them to take over resource points in various places, because it was obvious that the people from the five holy lands would not leave them anything good before they left.

At this moment, in the resource points of the area where Yuyang Palace is located, Nirvana Realm experts from Yuyang Palace are seen descending on various resource points.

"Fellow Daoists of the Sacred Land of Reincarnation, this place now belongs to the Immortal Realm of Longevity. Please immediately cease your activities and leave our territory. Otherwise, it will be considered an invasion, and don't blame us for turning ruthless."

These resource points weren't guarded by any particularly powerful cultivators. After all, it was their territory before, and who would dare to rob the Holy Land's territory?

Under the threat and expulsion of these powerful figures from major sects, the cultivators of the five holy lands were forced to stop what they were doing and leave the resource points. Once they left, these resource points were naturally occupied by the Immortal Realm of Longevity.

Why are these major sects working so hard? It's because Ye Liuyun promised that half of the resources from the resource points previously occupied by the five holy lands would belong to them, and then they would hand over the other half.

Such a good thing was impossible before; the five holy lands had never given them any dividends before.

Now that the Immortal Alliance has made a ruling, these places rightfully belong to them, and they certainly won't give face to the Five Great Saints anymore. They have both the right and the legitimacy.

The five holy lands suffered great losses. Of course, it can't be called losses; they just lost the benefits they had gained over thousands of years.

This is the power of Ye Liuyun's money; if you give him enough benefits, even enemies can become friends.

Not only that, the major sects began to expel the spies from their sacred lands who were hiding within their sects. Among these major sects, there must be agents from the five sacred lands. Since they have already submitted to the Immortal Realm of Longevity, these spies can no longer be kept around.

In just three days, all the territories that originally belonged to the Taiji Holy Land were returned to China, and the Immortal Realm of Longevity became a true holy land-level power.

Furthermore, to celebrate the return of the Changsheng Immortal Realm to the territory of the Taiji Holy Land, and to demonstrate the power of the Changsheng Immortal Realm, Ye Liuyun specially held a ceremony, sending invitations to all forces in the Feixian Domain.

The notice stated that the Immortal Realm of Longevity would hold a ceremony to advance to the status of a Holy Land in a month, and hoped that all major sects in the Flying Immortal Domain would send cultivators to participate.

Ye Liuyun's invitation received responses from many major sects, including the five families of the Samsara Holy Land, who agreed to participate. The Immortal Realm of Longevity now has a stable foundation and is not afraid of any threats.

That's why Ye Liuyun had the courage.

Moreover, he plans to announce the re-establishment of the Human Emperor's Palace at this ceremony, allowing cultivators at the Nirvana level and above to enter the Immortal Realm of Longevity to comprehend the Taiyin Scripture and the Taiyang Scripture.

Of course, Ye Liuyun did not write this on the invitation, but planned to make it public at the ceremony.

Chapter 708 Shocking Everyone (5000 words)

A month later, the Immortal Realm of Longevity officially advanced to the level of a Holy Land. The Dao Alliance had already announced this to the entire Flying Immortal Domain, because the Immortal Realm of Longevity possessed Celestial Realm experts, as well as Imperial Weapons, Imperial Formations, and Imperial Scriptures, which was already a Holy Land-level configuration.

To be honest, Wu Bingyuan was very unwilling to accept this result, but he was chosen by more than a dozen holy lands to manage the Dao Alliance, and he had no decision-making power on many important matters.

For the Immortal Realm to advance to the Holy Land level, it needs the votes of sixteen elders plus his own, for a total of seventeen votes. What Wu Bingyuan did not expect was that even the Samsara Holy Land and the other families did not oppose the Immortal Realm's advancement to the Holy Land level, so he could only accept this result.

On this day, the Immortal Realm was filled with joy. The first batch of cultivators who came to participate in the Immortal Realm ceremony had arrived outside the Immortal Realm. However, since the Immortal Realm was located within the Heavenly Array, they could only wait outside for the people of the Immortal Realm to come and guide them.

"The Wang family has come to participate in the ceremony for the Immortal Realm to be upgraded to a Holy Land." The first Holy Land to arrive was naturally the Wang family.

As soon as these words were spoken, a portal appeared on the barrier of the Li Tian Formation. This portal was carved out by Lin Qingyou. In the future, people from the Changsheng Immortal Realm will only need to use their tokens to enter and exit this place, without needing Ye Liuyun to escort them.

Ye Liuyun, Xue Qingwu, and other high-ranking officials would definitely come out to greet them personally.

"Welcome, everyone from the Wang family, please come in," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Thus, the Wang family cultivators were the first to enter the Immortal Realm of Longevity, followed by the Jin family, and then the Four Extremes Holy Land. All the holy lands that had no grudges against the Immortal Realm of Longevity arrived ahead of time.

The five families of the Reincarnation Holy Land arrived at this place at the same time, and the one leading the team was not their Holy Lord, but their Celestial Ancestor, who even brought the Imperial Weapon with him. In fact, the five families could have chosen not to participate, since they had openly made enemies of the Immortal Realm of Longevity.

But why did they come? It's because they couldn't be afraid of the Immortal Realm of Immortality. If Ye Liuyun hadn't sent them an invitation, that would have been fine, but since he did, if they didn't come, it would mean they were showing weakness.

Coming to the Immortal Realm is also a way of expressing that one is not afraid of the threat posed by the Immortal Realm.

When Ye Liuyun saw them arrive, she didn't show any hostility. Like the other holy lands, she politely invited them in. She wasn't worried that these guys were there to cause trouble, because doing so would only damage their reputation. After all, Ye Liuyun hadn't just invited their holy land, but all the sects in the entire Flying Immortal Domain, even the smaller sects.

After welcoming the visitors from the Holy Land and the Dao Alliance into the Immortal Realm of Longevity, Ye Liuyun didn't need to personally receive the other forces; his disciples and elders could handle that.

Furthermore, the forces that came to participate in the activities of the Immortal Realm of Immortality were definitely not individuals, but rather groups of people, especially those holy lands, which basically brought all their outstanding disciples.

The ceremony was held at the Dao Discussion Platform in the Immortal Realm of Longevity. This place was created by Ye Liuyun as a venue for important internal activities. It is surrounded by high platforms and pavilions, with a huge circular plate in the center. The guests naturally sat in the pavilions on the surrounding high platforms.

Ye Liuyun didn't make any special arrangements; everyone was treated equally. You could sit wherever you wanted; Ye Liuyun wouldn't assign seats to anyone.

Many people are visiting the Immortal Realm for the first time, and they are all amazed by its interior scenery. You should know that this place used to be a wasteland, but now it is like a fairyland.
