Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Unfortunately, the Bodhisattva’s cultivation was too high, and her strength too formidable. The Joyous Arhat dared not reveal any disrespectful thoughts, lest the consequence be more than he could bear.

“Where on earth has Bai Keqing gone?”

The figure of the Joyous Arhat vanished from this place, pondering the same question.

After Tuoshan Kong returned and reported the matter to him, the Joyous Arhat took an interest in this female Demon King. Over the years, he had investigated and discovered that Bai Keqing had not returned to the Demon Domain.

The disappearance of a Demon King without causing an uproar among the Demon Clan implied that Bai Keqing was not in mortal danger.

It was very likely that Bai Keqing was still with that Ye Fan; however, after years of searching, the Joyous Arhat had found no trace of them.

This time, his journey to the Xuan Domain was to further investigate Bai Keqing’s whereabouts, with the hope of capturing her and bringing her back to Xumi Mountain for transformation.

Although Bai Keqing was just at the True Martial Realm and far from matching the Bodhisattva, she still held great significance for him, capable of aiding in his cultivation progress and making a breakthrough in a minor realm feasible.

Returning to his Buddha hall, the Joyous Arhat began to make preparations, planning to set off in half a year. With over two years remaining before the Xuan Domain incident would officially erupt, he had ample time to track down Bai Keqing’s whereabouts.

Sword Domain, House of Divine Armies.

A few cultivators with powerful presences were discussing affairs, each emanating different auras, vaguely taking the shapes of various weapons such as swords, sabers, and spears.

These three were the Divine Yuan Realm martial emperors in charge of all affairs of the House of Divine Armies.

“Brother Liu, who shall deal with this matter? Has the master spoken?” asked a martial emperor with a square face and the aura of a Silver Spear.

The “Brother Liu” he referred to was a middle-aged man with the air of a gentleman, whose martial aura was that of a Divine Sword, known as the Sword Emperor.

Lu Zhen of Bai Yujing had long coveted the title of Sword Emperor. He had repeatedly come to the Sword Domain to challenge Brother Liu to a duel, each time ending in defeat. It was only after being confined in Bai Yujing that he finally calmed down.

“Not yet,” the Sword Emperor Liu Yunzhi said, shaking his head slightly.

“Do either of the brothers have any thoughts?” Liu Yunzhi looked at his two junior brothers and inquired.

The martial emperor who pursued the path of the saber shook his head and said, “Count me out.”

After some thought, the square-faced Jiang Taijing spoke up, “Then let me do it. It’s not quite appropriate for Brother Liu to go.”

“I have just reached a new understanding and developed a new spear technique; it would be good to test it out,” said Jiang Taijing with a smile.

The Sword Emperor Liu Yunzhi nodded and said, “Then we’ll leave this matter to Junior Brother Jiang.”

Barbarian Region, Peak of the Multitude of Stars.

The Peak of the Multitude of Stars was the highest Divine Mountain in the Qianyuan Divine Province. The ancient Immortals of the Barbarian Clan plucked stars and moons, refining and fusing them one after another to construct this Divine Mountain.

This was not only a Divine Mountain but also a powerful Immortal weapon, with boundless might capable of shattering entire worlds.

The Peak of the Multitude of Stars resonated with the celestial stars, continuously attracting the Power of the Starlight. Star rivers hung inverted from beyond the nine heavens, cascading onto the peak to aid the cultivators of the Barbarian Clan.

The barbarians of the Qianyuan Divine Province, also known as the Star Barbarians, excelled in using the power of the stars to temper their bodies. Each cultivator of the clan was a body cultivator, and the higher their cultivation, the stronger their physical bodies became.

Powerful members of the Barbarian Clan could traverse the void with their physical bodies, shatter suns, moons, and stars with a punch, and breach ancient Divine Mountains with a single finger, their might formidable and unrivaled.

At this moment, several Barbarian Emperors were gathered on the Peak of the Multitude of Stars.

There was some dispute among the Barbarian Emperors over the matter. One of them believed there was no need to intervene, since the Four Sacred Lands of Mortal World would handle it. If that thing really emerged, the Mortal Territory would be the first to be affected.

With deep-seated enmity between the Barbarian Clan and the Human Clan, this Barbarian Emperor would rather see the ruin of the Human Clan, devastated by that thing in its entirety.

As for whether it would affect the Barbarian Clan, he assured there was no need to worry. They had the Peak of the Multitude of Stars; should that thing dare to approach, it would be directly suppressed.

The other Barbarian Emperors disagreed with this perspective, seeing it as a matter concerning the entire Qianyuan Divine Province. If only the Human Clan and Demon Clan were to act while they abstained, it would make the Barbarian Clan appear inferior, failing to match the initiative of those clans.

Moreover, although the Xuan Domain situation posed significant risks, it also presented great opportunities. If managed well, it could be an immense stroke of fortune, which they couldn’t simply let the Human Clan seize.

From their viewpoint, the Four Great Sacred Lands sending Divine Yuan Realm martial emperors to handle the affair implied there wouldn’t be any accidents. The primary goal was to compete for the great fortune.

After some deliberation, the Barbarian Clan decided to send the Force Barbarian Emperor to the Xuan Domain to deal with the incident there.

East Sea, Dragon Palace.

Long Yue walked out of the Dragon Palace, her expression indifferent. With a flash, she disappeared from the place, heading towards the Divine Continent.

In recent years, her cultivation had further progressed, stepping into the seventh layer of the True Martial Realm.

Her combat ability had increased accordingly, breaking through her limits and stepping into the realm of the Divine Yuan, and not merely at the threshold of Divine Yuan Realm but nearing the second layer.

As her realm improved, she could employ more techniques, lifting many previous constraints, which in turn caused her combat ability to grow exponentially.

“It’s time.”

As Long Yue teleported, she pondered her final strategy.

Her visit to the Xuan Domain was to claim something she had planned for before, which would greatly aid her cultivation, allowing her to quickly ascend to the Divine Yuan Realm and perfect the path of her current lifetime.

As for the imminent major event in the Xuan Domain that would impact the entire Qianyuan Divine Province, Long Yue was unconcerned. She held no affection for the Qianyuan Divine Province, for it was not her homeland.
