Practice begins with immortality

Four days later, the Seven Star Island was bustling with activity. These people were all cultivators from all over the world, and their sole purpose was to participate in the Seven Star True Lord's Nascent Soul Ceremony.

The main hall of Seven Star Island was solemn and dignified. At the highest point, in the most prominent position, sat an elderly man. This man was Bai Qianxing, the leader of the Seven Stars and Six Warriors, and the recently ascended Seven Star True Lord, who had recently reached the Nascent Soul stage. Although his features were somewhat rough, he exuded an air of extraordinary aura.

The story of this Seven-Star True Lord is truly legendary. Originally a disciple of a declining immortal cultivation family in the South Sea, he ventured out on his own upon reaching adulthood to explore the world of immortal cultivation. After enduring hardships, he ultimately achieved Nascent Soul status. During this time, he also befriended the other five cultivators of the Seven Stars and Six Warriors. Their shared aspirations and shared common ground became a legendary story within the Southern Immortal Cultivation World.

"The Wan Family of Wanmu Island presents a thousand-year-old spiritual ginseng, wishing you a smooth and successful path."

"The wandering cultivator Ape Swordsman from the South Sea presents a longevity fruit to the True Lord, wishing him a smooth and successful path."

"The casual cultivator Mu Sheng presented a pair of top-grade magic swords to the True Lord, wishing him a smooth and smooth path."

……

As the congratulators presented their gifts and took their seats, the atmosphere gradually became lively. At this moment, a solemn voice rang out, attracting everyone's attention.

"Everyone." A deep voice echoed through the crowd. It was the Seven Stars True Lord speaking. His voice was deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate the soul. Everyone fell silent, their gaze fixed on the Seven Stars True Lord, anticipating his next words.

"Today, everyone is gathered here happily. I have something that has been brewing in my mind for a long time and I want to talk about it."

"Except for a few friends from large clans, most of the people here come from small families, and some are even independent cultivators without any sect or school."

"When I was young, I was also a casual cultivator. I don't need to explain the hardships involved. I'm sure you all understand."

After hearing the words of the Seven Stars True Lord, some people's eyes flashed with memories and pain.

Independent cultivators do not have the support of powerful forces, and their own qualifications are usually not good enough. Those who have cultivated to this level have basically used various methods, whether it is killing people for treasures or practicing evil methods. These are not good memories.

When they have reached a certain level of cultivation, they will choose to establish a family, occupy an island, and reproduce there.

But the safety of the entire family depends on this one person. If the ancestor dies for some reason, the entire family will be uprooted. Every year, such families disappear in the South China Sea.

"Thus, I hereby take advantage of this ceremony to announce the official establishment of the Seven Star Alliance. I sincerely invite all cultivators to join."

After hearing Bai Qianxing's words, others responded one after another.

Most of these people came here with the intention of joining the Seven Star True Lord, otherwise they would not come here.

The establishment of the Seven Star Alliance was exactly what they wanted. A Nascent Soul cultivator was a powerful figure wherever he was placed, and the South Sea was a place where they could establish a major sect. Furthermore, a Nascent Soul cultivator had a lifespan of 1,500 years. With secret techniques and longevity elixirs, it wasn't uncommon for some to live to 1,700 or 1,800 years.

As long as there are no special circumstances, by joining the Seven Star Alliance, your family or yourself can obtain long-term protection.

"This Seven Star True Lord has truly established his own kingdom." A person from a powerful force said with emotion.

"Next, the Seven Star Alliance should develop islands and expand its sphere of influence deeper into the sea." He transmitted a message to another person from a major force.

"It is possible that we will fight for or purchase those islands that have owners. But in the final analysis, it has little to do with us. You just sent us here to see what kind of person you, the newly promoted True Lord, are." The man replied.

……

At night, after the ceremony.

In a cave on Qixing Island.

"Brother, all the forces on the islands in the nearby waters have chosen to submit to us. This time we have recruited 13 Jindan cultivators, three of whom have skills in cultivating immortals." A sturdy man in armor reported to Bai Qianxing.

This man's name was Li Man, one of the Seven Stars and Six Warriors. He was a rare body cultivator, reaching the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. He wore armor because he was a general in the mortal world before embarking on the path to immortality.

"Well, that's good. In this way, the general framework of the Seven Star Alliance has been established. We can just take our time with the rest." Bai Qianxing said with some satisfaction.

"By the way, brother, there is one more thing I want to tell you." Li Man continued.

"what's up?"

"It's about an island," Li Man sighed and said, "There's an island with good resources. Several of our brothers are interested, but it's already owned. We've put forward some conditions, hoping to acquire it, but the cultivator on the island, Ku Chen, is asking for an exorbitant price."

Hearing this, Bai Qianxing frowned and said, "Blood Hand Kuchen? I've heard of him. Such an ungrateful person, why not just kill him directly?"

"No, we investigated afterwards. The island originally belonged to Sun Lianheng, but he used some means to ask Ku Chen to come and guard it. It was because of the incident with my second brother." Li Man said with a wry smile.

"Is it about that female cultivator? Hasn't the matter been settled? She's just a female cultivator at the foundation-building stage. My second brother can protect her, so what's the point of him holding on to her? Does he really think that no one would dare to touch him just because he's the son of old monster Xuanyin?" Bai Qianxing said dissatisfiedly.

"I don't know why, but that female cultivator must be very important to him. He even approached me before, wanting me to get her out. It seems he won't give up!"

"In that case, the worst that can happen is that we can just give up the island and move to another place, or even start a fight for the island. If he continues to push his luck, don't blame me for risking offending the old demon Xuanyin and killing him."

At this moment, a beautiful middle-aged woman in palace clothes arrived at the cave. Her name was Sun Qiao, and she was at the early stage of the Golden Core stage.

"Brother, there is great news!" Sun Qiao said excitedly.

"Fourth sister, what good news is this?" Li Man asked curiously.

"The Nascent Soul sea beast near Shuiyun Island is dead!" Sun Qiao shouted excitedly.

"Was it killed by a Nascent Soul cultivator? But that sea beast was huge in size and had incredible brute force. Shuiyun Island must have been destroyed beyond recognition." Li Man sighed and shook his head, saying.

Hearing this, Sun Qiao quickly denied it and said, "No, I checked, Shuiyun Island is intact. It seems that the sea beast was killed directly with a single blow!"

"What?!" Bai Qianxing and Li Man were both shocked upon hearing this. They knew full well how powerful this Nascent Soul sea beast was; it was a dragon-like creature, and ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would have difficulty contending with it. And now, someone had actually managed to kill it with a single blow, while still leaving Shuiyun Island intact. This was truly astonishing.
