After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Regardless of what others thought of the Xu family, Xu Qingman ignored it and focused solely on improving her own strength and that of the Lingshan Sect.

Once your strength reaches a level that others can only look up to, no matter what kind of monsters or demons they are, they will automatically retreat.

For hundreds of years, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the immortals, whenever a secret realm was opened, it was always sent to the other three children or disciples. Xu Qingman and her husband, as well as Xu Shuyi, who had spatial abilities, never went.

Nearly a hundred years after Yu Jinchen advanced to the first-tier Loose Immortal, the Lingshan Sect once again faced the tribulation of ascension, but Xu Qingman personally severed the ascension ladder.

Previously, Yu Jinchen could be excused for not wanting to part with his wife, but this time he couldn't avoid other people's involvement.

After Xu Qinghe and his family came to the Lingshan Sect, they were indeed wholeheartedly devoted to the sect, and the matter of ascension was something they could no longer avoid.

Xu Qingman took this opportunity to explain that she couldn't go to the Immortal Realm for the time being, but she didn't mention the Nine Revolutions Undying Scripture or the Nine Heavens Star Shifting Array.

The couple had discussed it and decided that if Xu Qinghe's disciples, or one of them, could cultivate to the Mahayana level and attract the Ascension Ladder, they could appropriately teach the Nine Revolutions Undying Scripture to others.

However, they were not going to tell anyone about the Nine Heavens Shifting Star Array except their own descendants.

Others can come up with good solutions on their own, which is none of my business, but I cannot be the one who causes the depletion of resources in the cultivation world and leads to war.

Of course, since their family has exclusively enjoyed the method of rapid advancement, they must also bear the corresponding risks from the immortal realm.

After listening to Xu Qingman and her husband's explanation, everyone felt as if they were listening to a myth.

What Xu Qingman and the other person said was completely contrary to what they had understood since childhood. In the entire cultivation world, who doesn't dream of ascending to the immortal realm one day and living a true immortal life?

But now I hear that the immortal realm is not only not so wonderful, but you might even lose your life.

While the others were still finding it unbelievable, Xu Qinghe had already asked, "Sister, are you saying that we can't go to the Immortal Realm, and that we might die if we go?"

"Yes, that's what my master said." Xu Qingman thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you can tell from that."

Although no one has ascended to the Immortal Realm in the last few thousand years, there were still those who did before. Why do you think none of those who ascended thought of contacting their relatives in the mortal realm?

Xu Qinghe affirmed, "It can only mean that they are out of contact, and it's even possible that they have already been murdered."

After Xu Qinghe made this guess, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

This is terrifying. I thought they were cultivating diligently and would one day be able to live a carefree life in the immortal realm, but instead they lost their lives.

Just then, Ding Mengling, who was not usually talkative, spoke up: "Actually, some people have suspected before that the Immortal Realm is not as wonderful as imagined, and that there may be problems."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Ding Mengling continued, "You must all know that the last ancestor to ascend to immortality in the cultivation world was from the Nine Yang Sect, right?"

When I was young, I heard from the elders in the sect that when this ancestor ascended to heaven, he made a promise to his wife that he would find a way to come back and see her once he had established himself in the immortal realm. However, his wife waited for more than eight hundred years and never saw him again until she passed away.

The fact that low-ranking immortals in the celestial realm can communicate with those in the lower realms is no secret on the Lingchuan Continent, yet for thousands of years, no one has ever received any messages from the celestial realm.

After Ding Mengling finished speaking, everyone became even more convinced of what Xu Qingman had said.

At this moment, Xu Qingman revealed that although she had severed the ladder to ascension, her lifespan had increased by five thousand years.

Although it's a bit of a pity that I can't ascend to the upper realm, I know that I can still become an immortal by staying on the Lingchuan Continent. I don't think it matters whether I can ascend to the upper realm or not, since a wandering immortal is still an immortal.

Besides, it's not even certain whether I can reach the later stages of Mahayana cultivation, so why think so much?

After this incident, Xu Qingman and her husband handed over the sect to their children and began a life of wandering.

Having attained the cultivation level of a first-tier Loose Immortal, he already possessed the ability to tear through space.

After traveling throughout the entire Lingchuan Realm, the two went to several other worlds through spatial rifts.

This includes a mortal world devoid of spiritual power, an ancient martial arts world with low spiritual energy, and a cultivation world remarkably similar to the Lingchuan Continent.

Only after sensing their son Xu Shuyi calling them did the couple return home.

When they returned to their sect, they learned that Xu Shuyi had asked them to come back and preside over the covenant ceremony.

Over the past few centuries, both Xu Shuyi and Xu Shuyin have found their life partners.

As a result, Xu Shunu is the only bachelor among the four siblings.

However, Xu Shuyang secretly told them that his third brother already had a target and was just waiting for the girl to truly agree.

After all their children got married, Xu Qingman and her husband stopped going out and stayed home to take care of their grandchildren while improving their own abilities.

Although it is difficult for high-level cultivators to conceive, thanks to the fertility pills that Xu Qingman and her husband found in a world skilled in medicine, all of them had at least two or three children.

Watching their grandchildren get married and have children, Xu Jingheng and his wife always encourage their youngest daughter, Xu Qingyao, to go out more and find a soulmate.

Seeing that her younger sister was often nagged by her parents, Xu Qingman had no choice but to tell them about Xu Qinghe's special physical condition.

After learning about their youngest daughter's special constitution, Xu Jingheng and his wife remained silent for a while before no longer mentioning Xu Qingyao's marriage.

---------

Time flies, and more than four thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After thousands of years of dedicated cultivation, Xu Qingman and her husband, as well as Xu Shunuo and Xu Shuyang, have all reached the fifth-order Loose Immortal level.

The siblings Xu Shuyi and Xu Shuyin are even more formidable, having already reached the peak of the seventh rank.

Even their children are already at the low-level Loose Immortal cultivation level.

Thousands of years have passed, and not a single person from the Lingshan Sect has ascended to the upper realm. Yet, most of them are still alive and well. The others are not fools either; they have long known that the Lingshan Sect is different from other sects.

Aside from the idea of ​​having future generations join the Lingshan Sect, no one dared to have any other thoughts.

However, the Lingshan Sect has always been strict in its recruitment of disciples, preferring to have fewer but better ones. Each time, the number of disciples recruited is extremely small, and the requirements for their spiritual roots and character are extremely high.

Even so, whenever the Lingshan Sect recruits members, everyone in the cultivation world who is capable and meets the requirements will arrive at the Lingshan Islands in advance.

The Ling Shan Sect rose to prominence so quickly that other sects in the cultivation world hadn't even had time to react before they found themselves helpless against them.

Therefore, for thousands of years, the Lingshan Sect has been the de facto leader of the entire cultivation world.

However, the Demon Realm and the Monster Realm were not convinced and joined forces hundreds of years ago to try to conquer the cultivation world. Unexpectedly, they were almost wiped out by the disciples sent by the Lingshan Sect.

From then on, the Lingshan Sect became the master of the three realms of the entire Lingchuan Continent, and no one dared to disobey it.

As for the struggle between the Lingshan Sect and the Immortal Realm, that's another story.
