The Tai Xu Dragon Scale Flower was refined into a liquid, carrying a medicinal fragrance as it merged into his body. The incantation for the Void Art was silently recited in his heart, and a purple Daoist imprint emerged around his body.
Chen Changsheng's figure gradually blurred and became illusory, as if he was about to disappear from this world.
This frightened Miao Miao in the courtyard, who quickly put down her work and ran to him, looking him over from left to right. Only after confirming that he wasn't really going to disappear did she breathe a sigh of relief.
However, neither Miao Miao nor Chen Changsheng himself expected that the cultivation of the Void Art would last for more than three months.
During this time, Taiping City had group member Ma Danqing help spread the word, announcing to the Lan family of the Tianlan Region to bring enough sincerity to Taiping City to retrieve their people.
The Ancient Immortal Dao lineage issuing a strong announcement for the first time naturally attracted widespread attention from the cultivation world.
Many forces also learned the cause and effect of the matter from knowledgeable people.
Everyone held a wait-and-see attitude, guessing whether the Lan family would rely on the backing of the Xuantian Holy Land to launch a tough counterattack against the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage, vowing to resist to the death.
Then, the grudges between the Lan family and Taiping City would escalate into a clash between the Xuantian Holy Land and the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage, once again stirring up a major commotion in the cultivation world.
Unexpectedly, the Lan family directly admitted defeat!
The Lan family head personally came to Taiping City and redeemed all the Lan family disciples with many expensive treasures, and made all the disciples kowtow to Taiping City to admit their mistakes.
This move stunned many cultivators in the cultivation world.
They were not afraid of bringing shame to the family. The most terrifying thing was that the Lan family head was actually able to put down his pride and status, which was simply unbelievable!
Amidst the shock, many people could still see that the Lan family would definitely not let the matter rest.
Their admission of mistakes and apologies were just a temporary compromise. Behind the scenes, they were definitely brewing an unknown revenge plan.
In addition to the Lan family's matter, the news of the Taiping Demon Suppression Division destroying the Underworld Soul Sect in the Five Thunder Region also returned to Taiping City.
Zhang Qingxuan stated that the mission had been successfully completed, but he would continue to train in the Five Thunder Region for a period of time to clear out the remnants of the Underworld Soul Sect and invite more people to join the Taiping Demon Suppression Division.
"Brother Zhang really didn't disappoint me. He has the potential to become an immortal!"
After finishing his cultivation, Chen Changsheng received the news and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Miao Miao, who was beside him, immediately said, "Master also has the potential to become an immortal!"
Chen Changsheng smiled and nodded, "Yes, my Miao Miao too."
"You two are really good at praising each other."
Luo Liuxi rolled her eyes, unable to bear the mentality of this master and disciple, as if they were detached from the world and incompatible with normal cultivators.
Other people in cultivation fought for every second, wishing they were on the road of training every moment.
"Smooth talker." Luo Liuxi didn't fall for it, and said indifferently, "What do you think of the Lan family's behavior?"
"I don't have any opinions. I'll block soldiers with generals and water with earth. Besides, I'm only responsible for the affairs in Taiping City. I can't manage the sects and factions outside."
Chen Changsheng shrugged his shoulders, not caring at all.
He was just a Golden Core cultivator, and all he could do was offer plans and opinions.
Even if the Lan family or the Xin Holy Sect came to his door, that was something the big shots should do, and he wouldn't worry about it.
The most important thing after immortality is to live, and to live comfortably every day.
Danger always exists in the cultivation world. If you worry about everything all the time, when will it end?
Hundreds of years, thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years later?
There are endless things to worry about, so just do your own thing and leave the rest to the big shots to solve.
Luo Liuxi smiled dumbly, "What you said makes sense. I look forward to the day you become a great power in the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage. At that time, there will be no chance to shirk responsibility."
Chen Changsheng laughed loudly, "With my cultivation speed, I'm afraid I'll have to wait a long time."
Perhaps he would have to wait until thousands of years later. By then, how many friends would be left in the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage? Would it still exist in the world?
……
Time flies.
After the Taiping Auction ended, the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage members left Taiping City one after another, returning to their respective sects and factions, or going out to train.
Chen Qianqian gained a lot in the Nine Stars Cave and directly went into closed-door cultivation to break through to the Nascent Soul stage after returning to the Bixiao Sect. As long as she broke through to the Nascent Soul cultivation, she would be able to inherit the position of Sect Master.
Luo Liuxi also returned to the Miaoshou Palace, preparing to go into closed-door cultivation all the way to the Transformation God stage and inherit the position of Palace Master of the Miaoshou Palace.
Unconsciously, the two women had already gone so far.
Luo Liuxi was fine. She was originally the Saintess of the Miaoshou Palace, and she also possessed the Immaculate Immortal Body with surpassing high-grade aptitude, so it was not surprising to take over the position of Palace Master.
But Chen Qianqian and Chen Changsheng entered the group together.
Back then, she was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and she was not yet the Saintess of the Bixiao Sect.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Qianqian not only became the Sect Saintess, but was also about to take over the position of Sect Master, becoming a great power guarding one side of the territory, in charge of tens of thousands of disciples in the sect.
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion at how quickly time passed.
The cultivators who remained in Taiping City were either loose cultivators without a fixed place, or their forces were stationed in Taiping City, such as Zhuang Zongzheng and Li Shang, who became regular customers in the backyard of Daobao Pavilion.
When they were free, they would find Chen Changsheng to drink tea, play chess, talk about life and years, and occasionally discuss the Dao to gain new insights.
Chen Changsheng cultivated the Void Art for three years before he could get started. After leaving the closed-door cultivation, he took Miao Miao to wander in the Taiping Mountains, clearing out the remnants of demons and evil, and honing his unfamiliar Void Art.
In the blink of an eye, another twenty years passed.
Taiping City had been expanded to cover half of the Taiping Mountains.
More and more cultivators came to join Taiping City, the workload of the City Lord's Mansion and the Demon Suppression Division increased day by day, and the foundation was constantly growing.
This year, Zhang Qingxuan and a large number of Demon Suppression Division disciples returned from training.
Some stayed in the city to recuperate, and some chose to go into closed-door cultivation to settle down.
Zhang Qingxuan was completely unable to stay idle. He led the others to cleanse the surrounding demons and evil cultivators for Taiping City.
Also during this time, the cultivation of the Ning family siblings broke through. Ning Zun successfully passed the tribulation and condensed the Golden Core, and began to launch revenge actions against the Lan family branch.
With Chen Changsheng's secret help, the siblings repeatedly succeeded in killing several Golden Cores, forcing the Nascent Soul old monster of the Lan family branch to chase and kill them for thousands of miles. In the end, the two escaped back to Taiping City with narrow escapes.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another thirty years have passed.
The third wall of Taiping City has been completed, and the city area covers the entire Taiping Mountains. This is the third district of Taiping City!
Ning Jing successfully broke through to the Golden Core stage this year, and together with her elder brother Ning Zun, followed in Zhang Qingxuan's footsteps and went out to train to slay demons and eliminate evil.
The training in Taiping City could no longer allow the siblings to improve. They needed to go to the outside world to undergo more hardships. At the same time, with the help of Zhang Qingxuan's protection, they could recklessly attack the Lan family branch.
Chen Changsheng no longer paid attention to the subsequent situation of the Ning family siblings. They already had the ability to take revenge.
If it really didn't work, they could also ask Zhang Qingxuan to take action.
As long as it was confirmed that there were demons and evil cultivators in the Lan family branch, Zhang Qingxuan would definitely help them cut through their people and their homes all the way.
"Master, Sister Qianqian sent an invitation."
In the backyard of Daobao Pavilion, Miao Miao shook a red invitation in her hand, which came from Chen Qianqian of the Bixiao Sect.
The content of the invitation was: Bixiao Sect New Sect Master Inauguration Ceremony!
