Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

Outside Xiaolingfeng Courtyard, the Lantern-Carrying Ancestor respectfully clasped his hands and asked, "Immortal Ye, when shall we depart?"

Zhou Qingfeng smiled faintly: "No rush, let's wait a little longer."

"Yes, Immortal Ye." The Lantern Ancestor, full of doubt, clasped his hands in farewell and took his leave. He didn't know what to wait for, but since the immortal said to wait a little longer, he could only wait. How could he dare to say anything or point fingers?

Perhaps the immortal was injured in the battle with the demon god last night and needs time to recover.

Besides, the Undying Palace didn't set a time limit for bringing the person over. If the immortal wants to wait, then he can wait a little longer.

Zhou Qingfeng watched as the Lantern-Carrying Ancestor flew away from Xiaoling Peak.

Ye Tingxiu, Xiao Hongyun, Cheng Wuquan, Du Yanran, Duan Hongsu, and Tantai Minglan walked out of the courtyard one after another and gathered behind Zhou Qingfeng.

Ye Tingxiu voiced everyone's question: "Captain, are we really going to the Immortal Land of Immortality?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng smiled slightly and said, "Let's have breakfast first, and then we'll talk."

Everyone present was a cultivator at the Food Calamity Realm. They wouldn't die even if they didn't eat. At most, they would feel a little uncomfortable due to hunger and thirst. However, over time, they would inevitably suffer from depletion of qi and blood, and their physical bodies would decay.

During wartime, it's fine to endure it, but in peacetime, of course, one should satisfy one's own desires first. There's no reason to wrong oneself, after all, their cultivation doesn't involve things like being pure of heart and desire, or severing emotions and love.

The group sat around the peach tree, waiting for breakfast.

Xiao Hongyun, meanwhile, was busy preparing breakfast at the open-air stove, taking out the ingredients and cooking utensils he had brought.

He methodically served one dish after another to the table, including char siu bao, rice noodle rolls, xiaolongbao, chicken feet, wonton noodles, shrimp dumplings, and so on, making a very diverse and delicious breakfast.

The key point is that he didn't let anyone help him, and he was happy throughout the whole process, clearly enjoying the fun of cooking.

"You all should eat, it won't taste good if it gets cold." Xiao Hongyun took off his apron and sat down with a smile.

Zhou Qingfeng tasted the wonton noodles and praised, "Not bad, the wontons are plump, the noodles are chewy, and the soup is delicious."

Hearing the praise, Xiao Hongyun was both proud and happy. He chuckled and said, "If it's delicious, eat more. If you're not full, just tell me. Tell me what you want to eat too. I always have my own kitchen utensils and ingredients with me, so I can make it anytime."

While the two were talking, Ye Tingxiu couldn't resist picking up his chopsticks first and secretly eating some rice.

"This is mine, and this is mine too." Ye Tingxiu ate and drank heartily, his head buried in his bowl of wonton noodles, his eyes fixed on the chicken feet and shrimp dumplings on the table. He reached out to grab them, but Xiao Hongyun tapped him on the head with his chopsticks.

Ye Tingxiu immediately covered his head, his cheeks puffed out and noodles hanging from his lips, looking completely bewildered: "Damn it, I didn't do anything to you, why did you hit me? Are you trying to start a fight with me?"

Xiao Hongyun glared at him and scolded, "Are you a pig? Can't you eat with some manners? There are other people here. If you use your hands, how are they supposed to eat? If you use your hands again, you can go stand over there and eat."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tingxiu licked the noodles from the corner of his mouth and swallowed them. He scoffed, knowing he was in the wrong, and quietly stopped talking, lowering his head to continue eating. Fortunately, he didn't use his hands to eat anymore, which was somewhat of a concession.

Xiao Hongyun faced Cheng Wuquan, Du Yanran, and the others, and explained with a smile: "You flatter me. My brother here is an idiot. All he thinks about is fighting and eating. Don't take him seriously."

Ye Tingxiu's mouth was bulging as he muttered under his breath, "If you're not enthusiastic about eating, you've got a problem with your brain."

Cheng Wuquan's eating style was also quite rough. Watching Ye Tingxiu eat with his head down, he felt that it suited his taste. He smiled and said, "Brother Ye, this is the true nature of a hero. He doesn't care about trivial matters. I like it."

Du Yanran, Tantai Minglan, and Duan Hongsu smiled slightly, each indicating that they didn't care.

Although they said they didn't care, the three women secretly looked down on Ye Tingxiu for his uncouth eating habits.

Because they are daughters of noble families, they received an aristocratic education.

Dining should be refined, delicious, elegant, and tasteful.

If it weren't for this competition of prodigies, the three women would never have had any interaction with Ye Tingxiu in their entire lives.

Not to mention sitting at the same table with Ye Tingxiu for breakfast.

However, now that we're all in the same team, we can tolerate some of the unpleasantness for the sake of our common goals and interests. After all, it's just a minor issue of lifestyle habits, and there's no need to create conflict over it.

Everyone ate together at the same table, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was fairly harmonious.

After Zhou Qingfeng finished eating and drinking, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Now that we've eaten, let's talk about serious business."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious, and they waited for what was to come.

Zhou Qingfeng said calmly, "Our next step is to infiltrate the Demon Extermination Alliance, seize the initiative among the other teams, and, with the help of the Demon Extermination Alliance formed by the Thirteen Immortal Lands, annihilate all the teams one by one."

"Now, through Ancestor Lantern, we have successfully made contact with the Undying Palace. Ancestor Lantern has conveyed the news of our slaying of the Demon God to the Undying Celestial Venerable and expressed our desire to join the Demon Extermination Alliance."

"The Immortal Celestial Venerable invited us to the Immortal Land of Immortality, undoubtedly to verify the authenticity of our strength and to further understand our background. This is quite a test for us."

"Our cultivation methods as Turbidity Eaters and Longevity Eaters are completely different. Our magical power and physical bodies contain the Qi of the Three Calamities, which is calamity, filth, and extreme evil."

"They cultivate by consuming life-extending energy, and their magical power and physical body become extremely strong and yang, with vigorous blood and energy."

"The difference between the two is too obvious. Mortal cultivators who cultivate longevity may not be able to see our true origins, but it is different for those immortal cultivators who cultivate longevity. Among them are some celestial beings who can rival cultivators in the Calamity Realm."

At this point, Zhou Qingfeng paused, patted his storage bag, took out the lychee black tea he carried with him, and took a sip, intentionally giving the team members some time to digest the information and keep up with his train of thought.

"Based on the intelligence we've gathered, the Undying Immortal Land has at least one, or even several, Celestial Immortals. It won't be easy to hide it from them. Besides... does the Undying Immortal Land really only have one, or even several, Celestial Immortals?"

"I'm afraid that's not the case. This information was only obtained from the mouth of the mortal cultivator, the Real Person of Damage Assessment. He has never even set foot in the Immortal Land of Undying, so how would he know how many Celestial Immortals there are in the Immortal Land of Undying, or even the other twelve Immortal Lands?"

"We have no way of knowing these things for the time being, nor can we determine how many Celestial Immortals are in the Immortal Land."

"For safety's sake, we must find a way to disguise ourselves perfectly, ideally fooling all the immortals who eat longevity. Only in this way can we ensure the smooth progress of the entire operation."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood Zhou Qingfeng's meaning and what they were going to do.

Xiao Hongyun hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Captain, disguising yourself is not difficult."

“I have the Illusionary Pearl. The wearer can control it with their mind to release specific false auras and energy fluctuations, simulating the characteristics of different realms. But I only have one, and I cannot supply the whole team with it.”

"Yes, where are the others?" Zhou Qingfeng nodded slightly and looked at Du Yanran.

After a slight hesitation, Du Yanran revealed one of her trump cards: "Captain, I raise a kind of mimicry Gu that can arbitrarily change physical constitution, magic power, aura and other characteristics, and can completely disguise itself to be indistinguishable from the real thing."

At this point, Du Yanran summoned a mimicry Gu worm in her palm: "If you let the mimicry Gu enter your body, then the mimicry Gu can disguise your physical body and magic power as having the characteristics of extreme strength and yang, according to your wishes."

"Of course, I also know that no one would willingly allow a Gu worm to enter their body."

"If the team didn't need to disguise themselves, I wouldn't have used this Gu."

“If you’re not comfortable with that, you don’t have to use it.” After saying that, Du Yanran withdrew the Gu worm and fell silent again.

Zhou Qingfeng nodded slightly and looked at Cheng Wuquan, Duan Hongsu, and Tantai Minglan.

Seeing this, Cheng Wuquan took out several talismans: "Captain, I'm often away escorting goods, so disguising myself is commonplace. Therefore, I have a few shape-shifting and breath-changing talismans. Just a light touch on another cultivator can change one's aura and magical power, successfully mimicking their characteristics. The problem is, these are all one-time use talismans and don't last."

"Sorry, Captain, we don't have any means of disguise." Duan Hongsu and Tantai Minglan shook their heads. They actually had ways to conceal their aura and figure, but they really didn't have any means to perfectly disguise themselves as the Longevity Immortal.

Seeing this, Ye Tingxiu stretched out a hand: "I have a way of disguising myself."

Zhou Qingfeng raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Tell me about it."

Ye Tingxiu patted his storage bag and took out a bottle of pills: "Captain, this is the Six Yin Illusion Yang Pill. It's a high-grade Disaster-level pill that my master gave me, specifically for disguising oneself."

"After swallowing it, one can freely change the nature of the magical power around their body, simulating the characteristics of different cultivation stages."

"It can even simulate the characteristics of other cultivation systems, making it difficult for people to distinguish between the real and the fake. It can be said that it is impossible for non-Shisha realm cultivators to see through the disguise. Use it with confidence. I have personally tested it and it works perfectly."

Zhou Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, not rushing to make a decision.

The primary concern for those heading to the Immortal Realm is whether their identities will be exposed.

Disguise is crucial to the success or failure of the entire operation, so it must be approached with utmost care.

He summoned the crimson divination stick from the depths of his mind and cast a divination for himself.

[The worst possible outcome; entering the Immortal Realm without disguise is extremely unlucky.]

[Neutral divination: Using the Shapeshifting Talisman to disguise one's identity and enter the Immortal Realm; neutral outcome.]

[Neutral draw: Using the Mimicry Gu to disguise one's identity and enter the Immortal Realm; neutral outcome]

[Auspicious sign: Consume the Six Yin Illusionary Yang Pill to disguise your identity and enter the Immortal Realm; auspicious.]

Follow the principle of choosing auspicious if there is an auspicious option, and choosing neutral if there is no auspicious option.

Zhou Qingfeng made a decisive choice: "Alright, with the Six Yin Illusionary Yang Pill provided by Old Ye, we can easily disguise ourselves as the Longevity Immortal, and our journey to the Immortal Land will surely be smooth sailing."

"If any of you do not wish to use pills to disguise yourselves, you may use your own methods to do so."

"After noon, I went to find the Lantern-Carrying Sect Leader and set off for the Immortal Land of Immortality."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stood up and clasped their hands in greeting: "Yes, Captain."

The departure time has been set, and the disguise methods are in place.

That afternoon, Zhou Qingfeng summoned the Lantern-Carrying Ancestor.

Led by the Lantern Ancestor, the group flew towards the Immortal Land of Immortality.

Holding a precious lantern, the Old Ancestor with the Lantern flew ahead to lead the way: "Immortal Ye, although the Corpse Continent is not very large, it is still 15 billion miles from south to north. I don't know how long it will take to fly to the Immortal Land of Immortality."

"Besides, this junior does not know where the Immortal Land of Immortality is. It is the immortal land that all mortal cultivators dream of."

"Only those who have cultivated from mortals to immortals are qualified to ascend to the Immortal Realm and become a member of the Immortal Palace."

"In order to guide newly immortal mortal cultivators, the Undying Palace has specially set up many guidance towers in the Corpse Continent. There is a guidance tower every thousand miles, and to activate the guidance tower, one needs the strength of a Human Immortal or above."

"In this way, we can instantly reach the Immortal Land through the teleportation tower."

"And we are now heading to the nearest receiving tower."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng nodded slightly and followed the Lantern Ancestor calmly toward the nearest Reception Tower.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the Tower of Guidance for Mortals to Ascend to the 'Immortal Land'.

The tower is about a thousand feet tall and is made entirely of a special material that looks like bronze but has a faint silver sheen.

The tower is ingeniously designed, with an overall octagonal shape. Each side is carved with intricate runes and totems, including magic arrays that guide the flow of magical power as well as runes that suppress evil spirits and purify the mind. Each layer of the tower is separated by a cloud-like halo, making the entire tower appear as if it is floating in mid-air, illusory and mysterious.

Directly in front of the tower, there is a wide path paved with white jade that leads straight to the tower gate.

Stone lanterns are placed along the roadside, each containing a flickering flame of longevity to guide travelers.

The Lantern Ancestor was the first to push open the gate of the Reception Tower, guiding Zhou Qingfeng and the others into the tower.

After a brief understanding, Zhou Qingfeng knew how to activate the Reception Tower, and then poured his magic power into a platform in the center of the Reception Tower.

At this moment, his magical power became extremely strong and masculine, no longer evil and filthy as before.

All of this is thanks to the disguise of the Six Yin Illusionary Yang Pill.

This kind of disguise is like cosplay at a comic convention. Whether viewed from afar or handled closely, it is impossible to tell whether someone is male or female. Unless the clothes are stripped off, it is truly difficult to distinguish between them.

As magical power was poured into it, the entire tower suddenly emitted bursts of white light.

The teleportation array of the receiving tower was activated instantly, preparing for an ultra-long-distance spatial teleportation.

In an instant, a beam of white light shot into the sky, transforming into a spatial teleportation channel.

Zhou Qingfeng and his group felt their bodies were in a state of weightlessness and slowly floated up.

They were then sucked into the spatial teleportation channel.

They vanished into the tower in an instant.

When Zhou Qingfeng and the others reappeared, they had already arrived at the Immortal Land that the Lantern Ancestor had longed for.

A colossal gate, thousands of feet tall, stands atop the clouds, bearing the four golden characters "Gate of Guiding Immortals".

Looking around, they discovered that the 'Immortal Land' stood in the sky.

Looking out through the gate to the immortals, one can vaguely see many magnificent palaces and pavilions with carved beams and painted rafters in the distant clouds.

In addition, an extremely rich aura of longevity was discovered floating in the immortal land.

With each breath, you can feel your lifespan increasing, though not by much, but it is definitely increasing.

If ordinary people could stay here for a long time, they could probably prolong their lives simply by breathing.

A squad of celestial soldiers from the Immortal Realm stood guard at the entrance to the gate of the Immortal Reception.

The Hovering Saint stood before the Gate of Reception, waiting for a long time, watching as the Lantern Ancestor brought Zhou Qingfeng and his group to the Immortal Land of Immortality.

After a brief observation, he noticed something was amiss.

The strength of these immortals before me is unfathomable; I cannot see through them at all.

You can feel a sense of oppression coming from afar.

The Hovering Saint dared not be negligent or careless, and greeted them with a smile, cupping his fists and saying, "Welcome, fellow immortals, from afar. I am Hovering, a direct disciple of the Undying Celestial Venerable, and one of the three thousand Saints of the Undying Palace."

"When the Celestial Venerable learned of your arrival, he specially sent me to welcome you fellow immortals to the Hall of Immortality for a chat."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng clasped his hands in a salute and said with a smile, "Then I'll trouble Fellow Immortal Hover to lead the way."

P.S.: I caught a cold the night before last and took medicine urgently that night, but I still had a high fever the next day. I was sick all day yesterday and could only manage to write a little over a thousand words by midnight. I really couldn't update, so I had to take a day off. I'm feeling a little better today; the high fever has subsided, but I still have a runny nose and am sweating a lot. My head is also foggy. You all need to take care of yourselves too. During the changing seasons, don't let the heat make you catch a cold. Colds are very painful.
