Editor: Henyee Translations

Traversing through the perilous region of the Western Dark Sea, no one dared to hinder their journey. The path back was smooth and uneventful.

Soon, passing through layers of black waters and flying over desolate lands, the verdant mountains and clear waters of the scattered cultivator alliance’s gate appeared before them.

“Senior Elder Shen and Immortal Jiang! They’ve returned!”

With the guards’ jubilant shouts, news of their return caused a stir within the alliance. After thousands of years of anxious waiting, the elders of the scattered cultivator alliance finally felt at ease. If anything had happened to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruoyan, they would have been inconsolable.

“Ruoyan! You’ve finally returned!”

“Brother Jiang!”

Amid the greetings from the gathered crowd, the delighted voices of Elder Su and Feng Xue suddenly rang out as they emerged from the throng.

“Elder Su.”

“Xue.”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruoyan warmly responded. After all, this grand opportunity was thanks to them.

“You’ve successfully obtained the fortune, that’s wonderful!”

Judging by their auras, Elder Su immediately sensed the good news and was overjoyed. Over the past few thousand years, with the support of the elixirs given by Jiang Chengxuan, her cultivation had also improved significantly, and she looked considerably younger.

The group conversed for a while until the alliance leader appeared, prompting Jiang Chengxuan to introduce Qin Shenwu. This sparked another round of exclamations, and the leader, Li Xingshan, happily announced a warm welcome for Qin Shenwu. After making arrangements for Qin Shenwu, everyone dispersed, returning to their respective abodes.

…

The following period was exceptionally peaceful. In the scattered cultivator alliance, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruoyan resumed their secluded cultivation. The cultivation they had achieved in the Primeval Secret Realm needed to be consolidated, given the rapid advancements that even surpassed the effects of various celestial elixirs Jiang Chengxuan had consumed.

This consolidation process took several hundred years. During this time, Jiang Chengxuan occasionally fulfilled the alliance members’ elixir needs, addressing a significant challenge for the alliance. For the scattered cultivators, having an exclusive celestial alchemist was beyond their wildest dreams.

As a result, the scattered cultivator alliance’s development trend became unstoppable. With Jiang Chengxuan, who was close to the Earth Immortal level, as their backing, the alliance in the western continent of the Xuanming Immortal Realm became an unchallengeable force.

Although Jiang Chengxuan and his companions did not actively help the alliance rise, their mere presence was a tremendous endorsement. Consequently, scattered cultivators from all over came flocking to join the alliance. The alliance’s domain and its members grew at an astonishing rate, while their enemies were terrified and dared not provoke them.

In the blink of an eye, several hundred more years passed. By then, the scattered cultivator alliance’s strength had increased tenfold compared to when Jiang Chengxuan first arrived.

With the influx of various cultivators, the alliance gradually improved, with organizations and sub-cities sprouting throughout the western continent.

The leadership shifted from a single leader to a council of elders, naturally including Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruoyan.

During the alliance’s expansion in the following centuries, the two had intervened several times, repelling forces that targeted the alliance, including the Shengguan Immortal Sect and many True Immortal sects.

These were all crushed by Jiang Chengxuan, suffering heavy losses and fleeing in disgrace. If not for Jiang Chengxuan’s reluctance to stir up trouble, none would have survived to return.

As the alliance’s expansion slowed at Jiang Chengxuan’s behest, a strange balance stabilized the western continent of Xuanming. The scattered cultivator alliance officially became a formidable power, even gaining some renown in the Xuanming Immortal Realm. Since their interests were not threatened, the major sects eventually tacitly accepted this situation.

…

“Senior Elder Chengxuan, this invitation is for you.”

In a newly established city of the scattered cultivator alliance, within the grand hall, Jiang Chengxuan received a red envelope from a disciple. Beside him, dressed in white and as beautiful as a celestial being, Shen Ruoyan also looked up.

“Central Continent of Xuanming, Jiuyun Immortal Mountain, Wanbao Celestial Assembly, cordially invites the scattered cultivator alliance.”

Inside the red envelope was a simple invitation regarding the Wanbao Celestial Assembly.

“The Wanbao Celestial Assembly…”

Jiang Chengxuan murmured, his eyes shining. He had heard of this assembly during his time in the alliance. It was a grand trading event held once every ten thousand years, organized by several major commercial guilds in the Xuanming Immortal Realm. Only those with significant renown received invitations, making it a rare opportunity to acquire treasures.

Clearly, Jiang Chengxuan’s actions in the western continent had caught some attention. Moreover, he was in need of such an opportunity.

After consolidating his realm, he had been seeking a way to break through to the Earth Immortal stage, with the primary task of refining his own Earth Immortal blessed land—a small world of his own. This required numerous celestial materials, and even with his collection, he was still short by about a third.

Creating a blessed land involved extremely precious celestial treasures, obtainable only through exchanges or secret realm explorations. Without his previous experiences and the many rare materials he had obtained, Jiang Chengxuan’s path to the Earth Immortal stage would have been even longer.

“In that case, I must attend.”

Muttering to himself, Jiang Chengxuan had made up his mind. He had not ventured beyond the western continent in thousands of years, and this assembly was a perfect opportunity.

“Husband, let me accompany you.”

Shen Ruoyan spoke softly, her interest piqued as she joined Jiang Chengxuan. Nodding, the two transformed into streaks of light, flying towards a location within the alliance’s territory.

Soon, they arrived at a grand hall, where their presence prompted bows from the disciples. Before them stood a towering azure platform, embedded with large spatial crystals and intricate patterns, a teleportation array constructed with Jiang Chengxuan’s help for the alliance.

“Let’s go.”

Stepping into the array with Shen Ruoyan, Jiang Chengxuan activated its power. Amid the disciples’ envious gazes, they vanished in the spatial waves.

Passing through numerous spatial barriers, they emerged in a new realm, a small city in the Central Continent of Xuanming. Without pausing, Jiang Chengxuan, displaying his True Immortal cultivation, tore open a spatial gate, stepping through it with Shen Ruoyan, eliciting gasps from the city’s cultivators.

…

Jiuyun Immortal Mountain, located in the Central Continent, was a treasure land. Unaffiliated with any faction, it opened only during the Wanbao Assembly. Rich in celestial energy, its towering peaks were shrouded in various clouds, creating a mesmerizing sight.

At this moment, the mountain was bustling with activity. Immortal clouds were filled with powerful cultivators standing or wandering.
