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

Liu Xing has been very busy these days. He is the chief planner and director of the entire event. He has put a lot of thought into making sure the ceremony is flawless.

At this time, his huge computing ability and meticulous thinking logic played a huge role, and he took care of every detail without missing anything.

At this time, the connections and personal influence he had accumulated through making friends played a huge role, and everyone performed their duties in an orderly manner.

At this time, his experience of two lives and his knowledge from reading a lot of books played a huge role, giving rise to many new ideas and creativity, making the activities more novel and interesting.

Nie Xiaoqian became Liu Xing's assistant, working with him to develop relevant plans and helping him with his advice. The couple's busy schedule was also filled with sweetness. Often, an encouraging look or a warm hug from a loved one was a source of energy.

The gathering of so many people put immense pressure on security. All of the Thousand Machine Sect's disciples, save those in seclusion, were mobilized. Furthermore, the Thousand Machine Sect's affiliated factions dispatched numerous experts to provide support, and even temporarily hired a group of trusted guest elders at high prices. Over a dozen Nascent Soul masters were brought in at high prices. All of this was accomplished personally by the Thousand Machine Sect's Council of Elders.

The world of immortal cultivation has not been so lively for thousands of years. I remember the last time there was such a grand event was when Senior Qing Yuanzi broke through to the God Transformation Realm and his sect held a celebration ceremony for him.

Over the past few months, cultivators from distant lands have been arriving in Wanshan City or the Qianji Sect, each being housed in a temporary inn. Numerous teahouses, hotels, and dance halls have sprung up, and numerous mortal dance troupes have been invited to enjoy the daily feasts of song and dance. For the cultivators, this is a rare opportunity for relaxation and enjoyment, while for mortals, it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to connect with the immortals.

Liu Xing's heroic deeds and his love story with Nie Xiaoqian were widely spread through storytellers thanks to the scripts written by Liu Xing and his intentional publicity, becoming a topic of conversation among cultivators all over the world after dinner.

The Elders' Council supported this grand event, primarily due to the rapid growth of the Qianji Sect over the past few decades, particularly its economic strength. They needed an opportunity to expand their influence, recruit more outstanding disciples and high-end talent, and attract more small and medium-sized factions to their cause.

Su Xingchen's deadline is approaching, and he sees that the sect will only have one great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage left. By then, the sect's strength will be greatly damaged. How can the sect protect its dramatically increased wealth?

Liu Xing remained calm. How many of these visitors came with good intentions, and how many were plotting schemes behind the scenes? He kept reminding himself to remain vigilant and not be carried away by joy.

All matters were proceeding in an orderly manner, and the time for the ceremony finally arrived.

On this day, the sky was clear and blue, and cultivators from all over the world came to the ceremony. Representatives of those with advanced cultivation and from major sects and powerful forces were seated near the stage, observing the ceremony from a close distance. Although hundreds of thousands of lesser cultivators were seated at the edge of the stage, every action on the stage was projected into the air through ingenious restrictions, making everyone feel as if they were there in person.

"Guanghan Palace presents five thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotuses. May Master Liu and his wife live happily ever after!"

"Buddhism presents a Vajra relic. May Master Liu and his wife live happily ever after!"

......

"The Hehuan Sect presents a handwritten copy of the immortal secret technique, 'The Art of Yin and Yang Harmony,' and wishes Master Liu and his wife a long and happy marriage!"

The elixirs and treasures given away by the previous sects were precious but relatively standard. However, the Hehuan Sect's unexpected gift of their own secret techniques was unbelievable. Knowing that the secrets of the sect were not passed on to outsiders was the foundation of the sect, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

"The Hehuan Sect is really generous. What is Chu Shixiu doing? Could it be that the skills are incomplete and there are traps in it?" Su Xingchen thought of a lot in an instant. Although he was on good terms with the Hehuan Sect, he always remained vigilant.

"It is rumored that the Qianji Sect and the Hehuan Sect are on good terms and have been allies for a thousand years. It seems that this is true." The guests watching the ceremony were all envious.

All the factions, big and small, presented gifts, and the ceremony lasted for a full hour. However, these gifts were not given for nothing. The Thousand Machine Sect would return the favor one by one, either making some concessions on the sect's interests, or giving back treasures of equal value. At the very least, they would return them with spirit stones. In short, the gifts were worth more than the Thousand Machine Sect's own money. They would not let the gift-givers suffer a loss, and would even pay a little more.

"Welcome everyone who has come from afar to attend the inauguration ceremony and wedding ceremony of our sect's leader! On behalf of Qianji Sect, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you all for your hospitality!" As the grand elder, Su Xingchen actually gave a speech in person, which was considered to give enough face to the guests.

"Senior Su, you are too polite!" The people in the audience did not dare to be arrogant in front of the great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. They immediately stood up and bowed in return.

After that, there were the cumbersome formalities of the inauguration ceremony and wedding. Although Liu Xing improved and simplified many steps, it still lasted half an hour before it was over.

Remarkably, many demon representatives attended the conference, including four of the ten demon kings from the recent land demon realm: the Rat King, the Eagle King, the Wolf King, and the Bull Demon King. All were powerful, transformed demons, with the Bull Demon King in particular having reached the tenth level of cultivation, making him a match for Su Xingchen. With the Bull Demon King at their disposal, the other demon kings dared to bring their disciples to the human world, hoping to gain some opportunity.

The thin old man in a brocade robe was none other than the Rat King who had abducted Liu Xing to the Sunset Secret Realm as a blood slave. He hadn't shown up back then, and his strength far surpassed that of Liu Xing, who was only at the Qi Training Stage, so Liu Xing couldn't sense any of his presence. But the Rat King recognized him!

How did Liu Xing escape the Sunset Secret Realm? The Rat King was baffled. Could he have been reincarnated? Their appearance and aura were exactly the same—how bizarre!

"Jin'er, go and test the groom's skills!" The Rat King suddenly had the idea of ​​testing him, so he sent a message to one of his subordinates, a level seven rat demon. Judging from its apparent strength, it was one level higher than Liu Xing.

The rat demon had a rat head and a human body. It had clearly not yet fully refined its transverse bone, so it hadn't fully transformed into a human form, appearing half-human, half-demon. However, despite its ugliness, this demon was incredibly powerful, with its magical power reaching the peak of level seven, and should not be underestimated.

"Grandpa, don't you like the groom? He is only in the middle stage of Jindan, I can crush him to death with ease. But I also don't like him. Such a beautiful bride should belong to me, Jinmao Rat." The seventh-level giant monster Jinmao Rat said viciously with a fierce look in his eyes.

"You should be more careful when you attack. His master is here. If you can't kill him, don't get yourself into trouble. But with Senior Bull Demon King here, you don't have to be too afraid." The Rat King replied unhappily.

"Okay, I'll go right away." After saying that, the Golden-Haired Rat stood up and prepared to challenge Liu Xing.
