Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

The war was won, and all the disciples of the Qianji Sect were overjoyed. They no longer held grudges against each other, but had become close comrades. They trained together, fought side by side, carried weapons together, and shared hardships together. This comradeship would accompany them for the rest of their lives.

In particular, they love Liu Xing even more. Liu Xing is their coach who taught them many survival skills; Liu Xing is their captain who led them to win one beautiful victory after another; Liu Xing is their comrade-in-arms who always rushes to the front to withstand the greatest risks for them.

Liu Xing looked at the team he had single-handedly brought together, feeling a surge of warmth and pride. After this war, everyone had matured, no longer sheltered by the elders, finally able to stand on their own two feet. Everyone's combat prowess had improved significantly, with several, like Dao Lang, reaching the False Dan realm.

After returning this time, everyone will retreat and prepare for the Core Formation. Ten years from now, they will become a new force in the Thousand Machines Sect. They will firmly unite beside Liu Xing and create new glories together.

Lu En and Wu Chang were delighted to see their sect's most outstanding foundation-building disciple. Liu Xing's performance was particularly impressive, as if they had witnessed the rise of a new star in their sect.

It has been three or four years since they came out. This war has brought great benefits to these disciples. They must go back to seclusion as soon as possible to digest the gains and improve their cultivation.

As early as half a year ago, a piece of gossip spread within the Qianji Sect that the top 100 disciples in the sect's competition three years ago did not go into seclusion, but went out together to complete the sect's mission.

What mission required so many experts to join together? Was the mission dangerous? How long would it take for them to return? The disciples' relatives and friends were immediately thrown into a state of panic. They had all assumed their loved ones were in seclusion, and now, hearing they were on a mission, they went to the retreat to check. Sure enough, they found them absent from the cave, confirming the rumors.

"This mission seems to be extremely confidential. Even the closest people have to keep it secret. It seems to be extremely important!" Mrs. Qian and Yingying often asked each other about the situation. Because of Liu Xing and Qian Botong, the two became good friends.

"I still remember the last time, my dead ghost was indeed a little different, he was full of energy." Mrs. Qian recalled some abnormal behaviors of Qian Botong before the mission, and there seemed to be some clues.

Su Yingying also remembered that Liu Xing had been demanding too much at the time, and she couldn't handle it anymore, and was almost falling apart. Now, when she heard Mrs. Qian talk about her family, she remembered that it seemed that Liu Xing was reluctant to leave her when they were about to part.

"Looking back now, it's really not normal. I think the mission must have been very dangerous, which is why Brother Liu and the others were a little nervous." Su Yingying also added. She felt stupid. Brother Liu was so abnormal, but she didn't notice it at all.

"What should we do? We don't know anything about the situation. If something happens, we don't even know how to rescue them." Mrs. Qian was suddenly panicked.

Su Yingying didn't know how to comfort him, because she was also very anxious and didn't know where Brother Liu was. The sound transmission failed to contact him, indicating that the distance was very far.

A few months later, new news came that a war broke out between the righteous and evil factions in the southern region, and hundreds of foundation-building masters went to support the front line.

War! Bullets are blind, and the battlefield is even more dangerous! Mrs. Qian and Yingying both quietly wiped away tears, filled with worry. But they had no choice but to wait for news and silently pray to God for their loved ones' safe return.

As for how the news got out, it was all just hearsay, with no way to find out. Su Yingying and Madam Qian searched everywhere but couldn't find any accurate information. The final clues all focused on the headmaster, Hou Youyuan. However, the headmaster was busy with all sorts of things, and he was often hard to find, so there was no way to ask him.

The longing and worry have been lingering in their hearts for half a year.

Today is a special day. Sect Leader Hou was waiting in a mysterious cave early in the morning, as if to welcome an important guest.

Four years ago, it was in this cave that he sent his most powerful foundation-building disciples to the front lines. Today, in this very cave, he welcomed their triumphant return!

News came from the front that they had not only won the war, but also suffered minimal casualties and fought beautifully! Hearing this good news, he felt proud of the men of his sect!

Deep in the cave, an ancient teleportation array lay quietly there. Sect Leader Hou sat quietly beside it, meditating with his eyes closed, waiting silently.

"Buzz~Buzz~" Suddenly, the teleportation array vibrated, and a buzzing sound was heard, and the vibration became more and more violent.

"Here I come." Hou Youyuan opened his eyes instantly and stood up.

The first one to be teleported was Lu En. He shook his head and came to his senses. Even for someone with such a high level of cultivation, he would still feel a little uncomfortable being teleported over such a long distance.

"Greetings, Senior Brother, the Sect Leader!" Lu En saw the Sect Leader waiting for him outside the formation, and he immediately greeted him and bowed.

"Junior Brother Lu, thank you for your hard work!" Hou Youyuan also saluted with a fist.

Then the two of them waited together. The teleportation array hummed again and again, and the team of nearly a hundred people were successfully teleported over in ten batches.

"Greetings, Master!" Every time a team of disciples arrived, they were quite moved to see the Master personally welcoming them next to the teleportation array.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone!" The leader responded with a smile.

It wasn't until Wu Chang and Liu Xing walked out together that the teleportation array returned to calm. They walked last, just in case something unexpected happened.

The cave was very dark, but those present were all people with high cultivation levels, and the darkness could not block their vision at all.

The sect leader keenly sensed that after the baptism of war, these younger generations had undergone significant changes. Judging by their aura, they were significantly stronger, each one imbued with a fierce aura. Their expressions had hardened, revealing a sense of maturity and courage. Especially after exiting the teleportation array, they remained in formation, each waiting silently, creating an aura of iron-blooded military pressure, a stark contrast to the lazy, disorganized group they had been before the battle. Their energy was connected, subtly directed towards Liu Xing, as if Liu Xing could overthrow the sect leader with a single command.

The headmaster was taken aback and looked at Lu En in surprise, as if he had many doubts. Lu En smiled but said nothing, and sent a voice message to remind the headmaster to go back and talk about it later.

"Everyone has worked hard! Let's go back first and talk about it when we get to the sect." The leader also knew that it was not convenient to talk in detail here, so he took the lead and walked towards the cave entrance.

The disciples maintained their formation and followed Liu Xing closely as they walked out of the cave together. They did not talk to each other or whisper to each other. They walked quietly with a deep breath, which made the leader feel a little uncomfortable.
