Offering shelter to the poor of the world (Willful extra update , seeking monthly tickets)_2 Having spent four years immersed in cultivation, with only a few excursions in between, he was immediately met with considerable danger on his current journey.
The emergence of the strange Demon Beasts was making Chen Dengming somewhat uneasy.
“According to Uncle Master Su, the ancestral Elders will finish their service in one more year….
Furthermore, with the addition of the two ancestors from the Heavenly Dao Sect, Hualong True Monarch, Nascent Soul Ancestor of Shu Sword Pavilion, Nascent Soul Ancestor of Five Elements Escape Sect, the backing of the Four Regions Old Town Alliance will become stronger, increasing the safety factor!”
With this thought, he relaxed once more.
…
...
An hour later.
A vast immortal mountain and sea island appeared in the distance.
The island was filled with immortal qi, surrounded by clouds and fog, with the Hazardous Peak, once dangerous, now lush with greenery and cascading waterfalls.
Around the Hazardous Peak, a few more floating hills had appeared; on these hills, many rope bridges had been erected, connecting them.
It appeared as though they were a Celestial Temple, with immortal cranes circling and dancing around it from time to time.
The massive island housed the sect, built in the past and now sitting in the center, surrounded by a protective Formation, a panorama of all things, dominating the entire island, like a giant turtle.
ո
The external part housed a bustling and spacious Immortal City, known as Evergreen City.
The Evergreen city was home to close to twenty thousand disciples from the Hualong Sect, Five Elements Escape Sect, and Shu Sword Pavilion, as well as a few Loose Cultivators and Longevity Sect cultivators who had split away from the Longevity Sect and established their families.
As a result, Evergreen City was bustling and prosperous, attracting merchants and numerous shops lining the streets, drawing cultivators from all directions to rest and relax.
The Longevity Sect was much stronger than it was four years ago, regaining some of its former stature in the Four Regions.
Even the affiliated cultivation families numbered thirteen (with one recently being wiped out).
Even though the Heavenly Dao Sect had split up three years ago because Qiao Zhaoxian found a suitable place to establish their sect.
However, the Hualong Sect, Shu Sword Pavilion, and the core disciples of Longevity Sect had already gathered more than forty thousand cultivators, forming an incredibly large ‘Four Regions Overseas Hometown Alliance’.
The head of this alliance was the Longevity Sect, with over forty thousand cultivators centered around Longevity Island, expanding to other islands around the sea.
Most of the cultivators continued to live on the sprawling Longevity Island after several expansions, enjoying the resources of second and third-level Spirit Veins.
A smaller portion occupied islands in the surrounding waters with spirit veins, establishing fairy shops and businesses.
The reason for such smooth expansion and dispersal of personnel was largely due to Longevity Sect obtaining the Immortal Sea Stele four years ago.
It legitimized them to enjoy the benefits of East Immortal Sea, including those of Multitude Immortal City.
This attracted some small sects and cultivation families in the vicinity who did not possess an Immortal Sea Stele, choosing to affiliate themselves with the Longevity Sect for the benefits the Stele offered.
This way, many small sects could use the name of “Longevity Sect’s Vassal Powers” in trade and business, enjoying special privileges of the Immortal Sea Stele Sect and obtaining protection from Longevity Sect.
And the Longevity Sect could also rationally expand its territories in observance of the Four Oceans Agreement, gaining access to more shared resources.
The 40,000 cultivators from Longevity Sect, Hualong Sect, and Shu Sword Pavilion did not have to stay in one place but could go to the sea islands and mountains where the vassal powers resided to cultivate.
Even these cultivation families would, for convenience, dig out their own Spirit Veins and move directly to Longevity Island.
In this way, disciples of Longevity Sect could enjoy resources like fertile Spirit Vein lands, while the cultivation families could enjoy the economic benefits brought about by the bustling trade in Evergreen City, as well as the support for their businesses provided by Longevity Sect.
Thus, around the Immortal Sea Stele, both sides had the resources for harmonious development.
They all got what they needed.
Otherwise, as outsiders, the Longevity Sect would need to continue finding more unowned blessed lands and go through verification to have more Spirit Vein resources outside their sect.
The saying goes, “Money marries the law of the land.” The resources of a treasure land, the more the better, cultivate more talents.
Therefore, over the past few years, cultivation by disciples of the Longevity Sect has not lagged behind when they were in the Longevity Sect, and has even been back on track, with several more reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.
…
Chen Dengming drove the Spirit Boat all the way, flying past the patrol line outside the island without being stopped.

Seeing his unique Golden Containing Inverse Light Boat, the patrolling cultivators all knew that the Taoist son was returning.
They all bowed respectively from a distance.
Local cultivators in the city with keen sight occasionally murmured in lowered voices with an obedient demeanor, recognizing that it was the Longevity Daozi’s, the Golden Core Intermediate Stage Great Cultivator’s vehicle.
At this moment, inside a mansion occupying vast grounds in the city, a large plaque with the word “Chen Residence” projected a subtle sense of deterrence.
Not far from the mansion, within two lakes, two awe-inspiring Foundation Establishment Demonic Beasts were lurking in the water.
The glimpse of their scales and claws submerged in the water was chillingly horrifying.
Inside the mansion, a man and a woman were leisurely strolling in a garden with its path paved by bluestones, surrounded by their servants.
The straight tall pine trees and the meticulously arranged flower pots with various plants filled the air with a delightful fragrance.
While the couple was on the path, the woman suddenly noticed a formidable Spirit Boat flying overhead and immediately grabbed the hand of the young man beside her.
“Look, my husband!”
The young man looked up in surprise, noticing the Spirit Boat flying over the mansion.
He seemed to feel a familiar and comforting gaze from above.
He watched as the Spirit Boat disappeared into the distance and said, “Father has been visiting us every time he returns from his sessions for the past few months.
Why is he leaving so hastily today?
Has something happened?”
