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

Ye Liuyun paid his nominal disciples 100 immortal crystals a day. This reward made the formal disciples want to participate in the construction of the base.

After all, building this base was far too easy for them.

During this time, the leaders of those immortal sects came by. When they saw that Ye Liuyun had his disciples build the alliance's headquarters, they were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.

Because isn't this the legendary self-production and self-consumption? In any case, the immortal crystals ultimately ended up in the pocket of the Longevity Sect.

Moreover, although it is called an alliance, it is more like the private territory of the Longevity Sect. They originally wanted to place their own people in the alliance so that at least they could participate in its operation.

The problem is, Ye Liuyun's words have given them a real headache.

What kind of talk is that if they want to participate in the management of the alliance, they must temporarily leave their respective immortal sects, and that only in this way can the alliance become more pure.

Of course, this only applies to the members of the alliance; the higher-ups don't need to, since the alliance is nominally funded by the higher-ups, and they definitely need to occupy the status of core members.

These cultivators who have left the immortal sects are directly managed by the alliance, not by the immortal sects. The alliance is currently located within the territory of the Longevity Sect, and the Longevity Sect is also in charge of the alliance. Therefore, if disciples of the immortal sects come to the alliance, it is basically equivalent to joining the Longevity Sect.

Shen Wei and the others wouldn't be foolish enough to send their own people to the Changsheng Sect, but they could send some nominal disciples. This way, it wouldn't have any impact on their sect. In short, they had to gain something from this alliance meeting. It would be too tragic if they couldn't get anything at all.

Of course, Ye Liuyun wasn't so stingy as to refuse to give anything; he would still provide the benefits that were due.

If she didn't give them anything at all, that wouldn't be in line with Ye Liuyun's personality. Besides, her ultimate goal was to integrate and subdue all these immortal sects.

The Immortal Realm of Immortality will reappear, starting from Yunze Prefecture. Ye Liuyun felt that it shouldn't be long before it does.

Chapter 942 Advancement to the Eighth Rank Immortal Sect (5K)

Time flies when you're cultivating; a few days pass in the blink of an eye, then a few months. During this time, everything remained calm and peaceful. The Yunze Immortal Alliance was fully completed three months later. This Immortal Alliance was a ring-shaped encampment built around the Changsheng Sect, which could be considered as adding a layer of defense to the Changsheng Sect.

Shen Wei and the others had nothing to say, they could only stare blankly, and then obediently sent some disciples over to serve Ye Liuyun.

In reality, Ye Liuyun had already relinquished her responsibilities. She handed over all the affairs of the Immortal Alliance to Chen Shanhe and some cultivators who had established sects in the lower realm, while she focused on her own cultivation. She didn't need any cultivation techniques; the Eternal Green Technique and the Nine Revolutions Divine Power basically satisfied Ye Liuyun's needs.

The highest level of cultivation in the Immortal Realm is the Immortal Lord Realm. Once you reach the Immortal Lord Realm, further breakthroughs are no longer related to cultivation techniques.

The Nine Revolutions Divine Power is definitely a Celestial King level technique, but I don't know about the Eternal Green Technique; Lin Qingyou has never said what level it is.

But for some reason, Ye Liuyun felt that the Eternal Green Technique was very suitable for her, as if it had been tailor-made for her.

Ye Liuyun basically ate Immortal Essence Pills like food. Since she could refine them herself, she could refine as many as she wanted and eat them. With the help of Immortal Crystals in her cultivation, her cultivation level was improving day by day, and it seemed that she was not far from the Celestial Immortal Realm.

While the other cultivators of the Longevity Sect didn't cultivate as quickly as Ye Liuyun, they all made significant progress. Regardless of the extent of their improvement in cultivation level, their combat strength was certainly different from before.

Ye Liuyun's medicinal field has been officially planted with medicinal herbs. The disciples who are registered are very busy every day, but they are not unhappy because their treatment in the Longevity Sect is already very good. Farming is a very easy task for cultivators.

Based on their current rate of accumulating immortal crystals, the future looks promising. In any case, as long as they have enough immortal crystals, it is not impossible for them to live in the immortal realm for a long time and reach the level of celestial immortal or golden immortal.

About six months after the conflict with the Lingyuan Holy Sect ended, the Yingheng Chamber of Commerce brought good news to Ye Liuyun: another of Ye Liuyun's Three Flowers Gathering Qi Pills had been traded at a large auction house in the inner circle. As for how much money was traded, it was a number that ordinary people could not even imagine.

The Yingheng Chamber of Commerce received 30% of the profits, which was enough for them to expand their business again. They were fully capable of opening branches in other states.

Just think how much he made! The first thing Ye Liuyun did after receiving the money was to customize magic weapons for his disciples. He equipped everyone with custom-made magic weapons: nominal disciples were low-grade Earth Immortals, formal disciples were high-grade Emperor-level Earth Immortals, and elders were peak Earth Immortals. He himself got a low-grade World-level magic weapon.

With the possession of a low-grade Celestial Immortal, it means that the Longevity Sect now possesses its own sect-protecting magic weapon.

Collecting cultivation techniques from the library was a piece of cake. Yingheng had made so much money from Ye Liuyun, so they must have paid a price. They were now trying to curry favor with Ye Liuyun. The Yingheng Chamber of Commerce spent their own money to buy five low-grade Heaven-rank cultivation techniques from the inner circle and gave them to Ye Liuyun.

Think about it yourself, how much money did you actually make from the Three Flowers Gathering Qi Pill?

The key is that Ye Liuyun can mass-produce these pills, so it's inevitable that the Longevity Sect will grow stronger. It's not much different from the lower realm, except that the speed is not as fast.

Ye Liuyun had no intention of searching for his daughter and relatives and friends, because the Immortal Realm was too vast, and it would be unwise for her to search for them. His idea was to make the Longevity Sect bigger and stronger, and once it reached a certain level, they would naturally know that it was founded by Ye Liuyun.

In fact, many cultivators in Yunze Prefecture who ascended with Ye Liuyun already knew about Ye Liuyun's situation.

For example, Ye Liufeng and the others are currently still in Yunze Prefecture. The Changsheng Sect fought against the Lingyuan Holy Sect, defeated the Lingyuan Holy Sect, and became the leader of the Immortal Alliance in Yunze Prefecture. They must have heard about such a great feat.

After learning about this, Ye Liufeng finally realized that he was far inferior to his sister.

They are all currently trying to break through to the Celestial Immortal level. Only after reaching the Celestial Immortal level will they feel comfortable going to see Ye Liuyun. In half a year, they have all entered the Earth Immortal level, but it will still take time to reach the Celestial Immortal level.

For them, the Longevity Sect is their last resort. They will only seek out Ye Liuyun when they are truly desperate. If they come to Ye Liuyun at this time, it will only add to his burden. Although Ye Liuyun is indifferent to it, it is not good for their cultivation.

If you want to survive longer in the immortal realm, you need to work hard; you can't just coast along and wait to die.

Three years later...

Ye Liuyun and his group have been in the Immortal Realm for three years. Three years in the Immortal Realm is equivalent to countless years in the mortal realm, but this is no longer important to the cultivators of the Immortal Realm.

On this day, two beams of light shot into the sky from within the Longevity Sect, one golden and one white. After the two beams of light dissipated, two stunningly beautiful women appeared in everyone's sight.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Donghuang and the Moon Goddess.

It took them three years to raise their cultivation level from the Earth Immortal level to the Celestial Immortal level.

Of course, the two of them were just acting. Once they reached the Celestial Immortal level, it meant that the Longevity Sect could be upgraded to an Eighth-Rank Immortal Sect.

"Congratulations to the Longevity Sect! You have met the requirements for advancement and can be promoted to an eighth-grade immortal sect. Please proceed to the sect's main hall for the advancement." The emotionless voice of the Heavenly Dao rang out.

Ye Liuyun also hurriedly came out of his secluded cultivation place.

"Those two are indeed extraordinary. They advanced in just three years. Ah, they finally have their own Celestial Immortals. I guess I'll be close too," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

She went directly to the sect's main hall and promoted the Longevity Sect. As the Longevity Sect was promoted, the Heavenly Dao bestowed auspicious light. Under the illumination of the light, the Longevity Sect's sphere of influence doubled, and its scale tripled. It could recruit another two hundred formal disciples, and there were even more benefits to come.

Ye Liuyun wasted no time and immediately announced the news to the disciples, instructing those whose contributions reached the level required for promotion to formal disciples to go to the disciple management office to be promoted to formal disciples.

Not only that, the promotion channel for senior disciples has also been opened. Previously, Ye Liuyun did not open the promotion channel for formal disciples because there were only one hundred disciples, so it was not important whether they were promoted or not.

New disciples can be promoted to intermediate or advanced disciples based on their contributions over the past three years, while the two hundred newly promoted formal disciples will naturally become junior disciples.

The Changsheng Sect was bustling with activity, while disciples from other immortal sects in the surrounding Immortal Alliance camps were filled with envy.

"This Longevity Sect is too outrageous. They met the advancement requirements in just three years. Our Sky-Piercing Sect has been established for who knows how many years, and we're still just a small ninth-grade immortal sect. Damn it, no way, I'm going to leave the Sky-Piercing Sect and become a disciple of the Longevity Sect." Many people had the idea of ​​leaving their sect.

But in reality, they no longer need to go through the process of merging sects, because after the Longevity Sect reaches the eighth rank, it unlocks a new function: the sect merging function. The Longevity Sect can directly annex other ninth-rank immortal sects and make them its subordinate forces.

However, Ye Liuyun did not intend to accept it, because she did not want to add pressure to herself.

Upon learning of the Changsheng Sect's advancement, the Qingtianmen and others were extremely shocked. They immediately formed a team to congratulate the Changsheng Sect and also expressed their intention to join the Changsheng Sect and become its affiliated forces.

As far as they were concerned, the Longevity Sect was now the only dominant force in Yunze Prefecture, so whether they were happy or not, it wouldn't change the status quo.

Ye Liuyun originally did not intend to accept them, but they said they did not need any special treatment from the Longevity Sect, only a title.

What does that mean? It means that when they join the Changsheng Sect, they are given titles like Changsheng Sect·Tianqing Gate, which is equivalent to a branch of the Changsheng Sect.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly useless title. In reality, when the Longevity Sect upgrades to a seventh-grade immortal sect, these affiliated immortal sects might be able to directly qualify for promotion to a ninth-grade immortal sect.

This is the advantage of being a subordinate force.

The reason Ye Liuyun ultimately did not refuse was not only because they did not want special treatment, but also because he wanted to maintain the unity of the cultivation world in Yunze Prefecture and prevent it from being secretly undermined by the Lingyuan Holy Sect.

Because it was already known that some members of these immortal sects in Yunze Prefecture had secretly defected to the gods and the Lingyuan Holy Sect.

She knew exactly who they were, after all, she could see through their thoughts. It was precisely because she knew they had this idea that Ye Liuyun wanted to keep them by her side, only in this way could she keep track of their every move.

Ye Liuyun demanded that all the leaders of the immortal sects stay at the Immortal Alliance's headquarters from now on and hand over their sects to their elders to manage. This was a condition for them to join the Longevity Sect, and they had no choice.

As more and more immortal sects joined, the immortal cultivators who had joined these sects once again formed an alliance with Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun planned to support her own people to seize real power from these immortal sects.

Now that Ye Liuyun is in custody, and Shen Wei and his group are in the open, they have no idea about Ye Liuyun's background.

Almost every immortal sect had a group of people who were brought into the immortal realm by Ye Liuyun. After they separated from Ye Liuyun, they found a place to cultivate for a period of time. Then, they encountered the Eastern Emperor changing the heavenly rules and lifting the restrictions. Since they had just ascended and had money and cultivation techniques, they naturally joined these immortal sects with ease.

Therefore, the Changsheng Sect has practically become the overlord of Yunze Prefecture, and there is no force in Yunze Prefecture that can threaten the Changsheng Sect.

Not long after these immortal sects became affiliated forces of the Longevity Sect, several sect leaders who had joined the Longevity Sect were sitting in the Domain Lord's Mansion where Shen Wu was located.

"Lord Shenwu, we have successfully infiltrated the Longevity Sect as you instructed. What should we do next?" asked a sect leader.

These people had been secretly subdued by Shenwu, who originally planned to use them against the Changsheng Sect.

However, unexpectedly, the Longevity Sect was upgraded to an eighth-grade immortal sect so quickly. So, isn't this perfect? ​​Let them infiltrate the Longevity Sect and then find a way to seize the fruits of the Longevity Sect's labor.

"Just do what you need to do and try your best to gain Ye Liuyun's trust. In short, you don't need to be afraid of anything. Our Divine Clan will help you eventually gain control of the Longevity Sect," Shen Wu said confidently.

After saying that, Shenwu raised his hand and gave the group some special items.

"Take it. This contains the power of my divine race. If used at the crucial moment, even a mid-grade Golden Immortal will die. But remember, you can't use it casually. I will remind you when it's time to act," Shenwu said.

The group nodded, and then left the Domain Lord's Mansion under the cover of the power of divine enlightenment.

There was no other way; he had to use his privileges to cover up these guys, otherwise they would be directly exposed to Wen Qin's watchful eye. He knew that Wen Qin had been secretly monitoring him and the Lingyuan Holy Sect.

However, he has more authority in Yunze Prefecture than Wen Qin, making it difficult for Wen Qin to keep an eye on him.

At this moment, Wenqin is inside her immortal abode.

"Strange, it's been three years, why haven't the Divine Race and the Lingyuan Holy Sect made any moves? This is impossible. Putting aside the Lingyuan Holy Sect, just considering the Divine Race, given their character, they would never sit idly by and watch the Longevity Sect grow stronger." Wen Qin murmured, looking at a mirror.

After saying this, she sighed again, because after the Longevity Sect advanced to the eighth rank, Heaven rewarded him with a sum of merit, which was a completely free gift.

"Oh! Sister Liuyun, you are truly my lucky star! I feel that as long as I am closely connected with Sister Liuyun, my future will be even better than I imagined," Wen Qin said with a smile.

Looking at Shenwu's side, after seeing off these sect leaders, Shenwu contacted another person.

He raised his hand and waved it, and a figure appeared in front of him. Upon closer inspection, it was Yu He.

"Fellow Daoist Shenwu, how is the situation on your end?" Yu He asked.

These two had long been in cahoots. If the gods wanted to control a region, they would definitely need the power of the immortal sects. If they couldn't control the immortal sects in that region, then they would be powerless, just empty shells as domain lords.

"The Longevity Sect has been upgraded to an eighth-grade immortal sect. But that's fine. The more enjoyable their upgrade is, the more we will ultimately benefit," Shen Wu said calmly.

Yu He smiled and nodded.

"Haha, that's right. It's one thing for the Longevity Sect to offend our Two Yuan Holy Sect, but to dare to disrespect the Divine Race, they definitely have no way out," Yu He said.

"Although the influence of my divine race in the Immortal Realm is declining year by year, it is still not something that a tiny ant can defy. If this Longevity Sect were not a force founded by the Patrol Angel Wen Qin, why would my divine race be so cautious?" Shen Wu sneered.

He was wary of Wen Qin, because the Heavenly Court had restrictions on the actions of the gods; once they crossed the line, the Eastern Emperor would not forgive them.

However, there are many ways to avoid the red line.

At present, Shenwu does not take the Longevity Sect seriously. After all, he does not even have a Golden Immortal under his own clan. He has not yet relied on the clan's power and feels that his own strength is enough.

Shen Wu is a top-grade Golden Immortal, currently considered invincible in Yunze Prefecture. She is just waiting for an opportunity, a chance to make her move legitimately.

Once the Longevity Sect gives him this opportunity, he will not hesitate to use his domain lord privileges.

As for the Lingyuan Holy Sect, it actually supported some immortal sect leaders, but it was done very secretly because it couldn't hide Wen Qin's existence. Wen Qin could basically detect any major moves the Lingyuan Holy Sect made.

For the Longevity Sect, Wenqin was like a large-scale surveillance device.

They can't be too conspicuous until they can avoid this surveillance.

“By the way, speaking of opportunities, Fellow Daoist Shenwu, as the domain lord, why don’t you take the initiative to create opportunities? I remember that the Divine Race controls some privileged areas in Yunze Prefecture, right?” Yu He suddenly reminded him.

This sentence immediately reminded Shenwu.

Shenwu paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

“No rush, let’s wait a bit longer. If the Longevity Sect can avoid my first killing trap, then we’ll use that method. It’s not worth it to deal with the Longevity Sect in this way from the start,” Shenwu said.

Yu He was taken aback. He didn't say anything more and quickly broke off contact with Shen Wu.

However, after the contact was broken, Yu He's expression immediately changed, from a smile to coldness.

"Tch, what a load of crap. I suddenly hope your divine race gets humiliated by the Longevity Sect. So arrogant, no wonder no other race is on your side," Yu He scoffed.

Yu He felt that the Longevity Sect was not simple and was definitely not as easy to deal with as Shen Wu had imagined.

The gods control a very special place in Yunze Prefecture called the Divine Realm. This place belongs to the gods, not the Heavenly Court. It contains many treasures collected by the gods, which are even more advanced than the Heavenly Immortal Realm of the Heavenly Court.

Once it opens, the entire Yunze Prefecture will definitely be in an uproar. No one can resist the temptation of the Divine Realm, because the first person to clear it will have the great opportunity to become a Golden Immortal.

Furthermore, that place is controlled by the gods. Yu He felt that using this place to attract the Longevity Sect was the safest option. Once Ye Liuyun and the others entered, wouldn't they be at the mercy of the gods?

The reason why Shenwu was unwilling to open it was because she felt that with the current quality of the cultivation world in Yunze Prefecture, there was no desire for the gods to open the secret realm.

He had no idea, but their divine race's leader did. After learning of the impending calamity facing their race, the Jade Emperor began to ponder a way to break the deadlock.

No matter how arrogant he was, he dared not underestimate this great calamity. Even his master, the creator of the gods, had advised the gods to retire.

This means that the gods should relinquish their control over the celestial realm, but the Jade Emperor felt that the gods were not yet ready to do so.

In his view, the Immortal Realm originally belonged to the gods. Why? Because the gods were created in the Immortal Realm by the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Laws. Therefore, the gods can be considered the earliest beings in the Immortal Realm.

Asking the gods to retreat is tantamount to asking them to cede their territory to other races, isn't it?

At least the Jade Emperor and most of the high-ranking members of the God Clan share this view. The Jade Emperor has already discussed this matter with the members of the God Clan, and given the God Clan's accustomed arrogance, they would never accept retirement.

The Jade Emperor decided to allow the gods of all the celestial realms to open the divine secret realms and recruit the geniuses of each race. As long as the gods control the outstanding immortals of the celestial realm, what will they have to worry about?
