I can't keep a low profile when cultivating immortality; the sixth one is actually myself.

When Murong Ziling learned that Fengchuan had achieved the goal of gathering spiritual energy and was preparing to establish his foundation, she announced that she would go into seclusion.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I have only recently emerged from seclusion.

Having finally broken through to the third level of Foundation Establishment, I was surprised to learn that my junior brother had already successfully established his foundation and had even broken through to the third level of Foundation Establishment.

Before receiving the news, Murong Ziling was full of ambition and self-satisfaction.

Upon hearing the news, she felt utterly devastated, on the verge of tears, with no words to express her bitterness.

Can this junior brother be returned, Master?

Bai Linglong: No way, not even a second thought!

Zi Ling: But I'm under so much pressure, I can hardly breathe, Master!

Bai Linglong: Hmph, you think you're the only one under pressure? How can I bear this?

Zi Ling: Hmm? Master, are you also under pressure?

Bai Linglong: Nonsense! As your master, how could I not feel pressured when my disciple's cultivation speed is too fast and she is about to catch up!

Zi Ling: You haven't caught up yet, have you? But I've already been overtaken! It won't be long before I'm surpassed.

Bai Linglong: Oh my! So you're hoping your junior brother will catch up with his master right away?

Zi Ling: No, I was just thinking, how about I become the junior sister?

Bai Linglong: Huh? You really think so? Well, it's not impossible!

Zi Ling: Master! Don't you love me anymore? Is it because my sweet little cotton-padded jacket is leaking cold air, or what? How could you do this? Your disciple is so heartbroken!

Bai Linglong: Okay, I was just kidding, why did you take it seriously?

It's only a matter of time before your junior brother surpasses you. I'm not afraid, so what are you worried about?

We are geniuses, he is a prodigy among prodigies among prodigies among prodigies among prodigies...

Let's not compare ourselves to him! You should change your approach.

Zi Ling: What's your thinking?

Bai Linglong: Think about it, your junior brother has such good talent and aptitude, he will definitely be very powerful in the future! But even if he is very powerful, so what? He is still my disciple, your junior brother?

Upon hearing this, Murong Ziling's eyes immediately shone brightly.

Zi Ling: Master, it has to be you! How come I didn't think of that?

Bai Linglong: Hmph, silly child, you're still too green! From now on, you'd better follow me and learn properly!

After comforting Murong Ziling, Bai Linglong assigned her a new task.

Gather all the disciples of Qingyun Peak above the Qi Gathering level and draw lots to decide who will participate in the Immortal Tomb Gathering.

When Murong Ziling learned that the Immortal Tomb had opened, she was equally shocked.

She felt that her chance had come again, and the opportunity to maintain her senior's authority was right in front of her.

So he eagerly went to gather manpower.

When people have something to look forward to, their efficiency is incredibly high!

Sure enough, in just half a day, Murong Ziling had gathered all the people in place.

With the assistance of the sect elders, all the disciples drew lots in an orderly manner.

The results came out very quickly.

There are 220 disciples in total, both new and old.

Including the deacons and elders who accompanied them, there were fewer than 260 people in total.

The personnel have been determined; those who were unlucky have been notified to go back and continue their training.

The rest were just lucky.

Bai Linglong's arrangement was out of necessity.

If ranked according to strength, the Immortal Tomb might be too dangerous, potentially causing excessive losses to the sect.

That would lead to a break in the lineage of disciples, which is unacceptable under any circumstances.

For any sect, the beginning of its decline is the moment it faces a shortage of successors.

The method of drawing lots is different.

First of all, there was an element of luck involved.

If the trip goes smoothly, then these people are lucky, and their harvest will certainly be good.

If this trip goes badly, then these people are considered unlucky, and in that case, they have preserved the sect's fortune.

Of course, the task is not mandatory; if someone is willing to give it up, someone else can take over.

However, the rumors are spreading like wildfire, and the lower-level disciples know some of the hidden details.

Everyone wanted to get involved; no one wanted to back out.

Secondly, this selection method allows for quick results and ensures that all candidates have a balanced skill level.

There won't be a situation where only highly qualified people go, or only those with poor qualifications go.

It can also preserve a relatively stable force within the sect.

Even though this trip was extremely dangerous, at least they managed to preserve their core base.

When all the remaining disciples were brought to the inner square of Qingyun Peak, Bai Linglong also arrived.

"Greetings, Sect Master!" All the disciples bowed in unison.

"No need for formalities!" Bai Linglong said.

Then, Bai Linglong spoke again: "I imagine you all have some guesses about why we've gathered everyone here today."

Just as rumored, the soaring divine light yesterday was indeed a sign that the Immortal Tomb had opened.

Therefore, each branch of the sect will send disciples to participate.

Due to time constraints, we decided to select candidates randomly by drawing lots.

All of you disciples are exceptionally fortunate. On this journey to the Immortal Tomb, our sect wishes you all a fruitful return.

At the same time, our sect also hopes that everyone can return safely.

Additionally, if you find anything in the Immortal Tomb.

This sect has decided that 5% will belong to itself, and the remaining 5% must be handed over to the sect.

If it is part of what I have earned, I am willing to exchange it with the sect.

"Our sect has decided that contribution points or spirit stones will be sold at a 30% premium."

With a whoosh, the stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the audience erupted in uproar.

"Wow, such a generous offer? In the past, sect missions always took 3% for the individual and 7% for the sect."

"Yes, who can argue with that! I never expected that not only would 5% go to the individual this time, but we could also exchange it at a premium."

"Haha, I can't wait any longer! Sect Master, you're so righteous!"

"Yes, yes, the sect leader is so magnanimous!"

……

Discussions were incessant, and Toyokawa was among the crowd.

He felt a little helpless at this moment. Why was it so unlucky?

He was just thinking of returning to the mortal realm to visit his parents and relatives.

As luck would have it, the immortal tomb was opened.

They're really in a rush, can't they be a little later?

What frustrated him even more was that he didn't want to join in the fun!

No matter how much he pleaded with his senior sister, she wouldn't agree and insisted that he come over to draw lots.

To his surprise, without cheating at all, he still drew the "go" sign.

When he saw the tiny word 'go' on the label, he almost couldn't hold back his tears.

I've really suffered a lot!

He just wants to live a quiet, low-key life, cultivating immortality, so why is it so difficult?

Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to go!

And this time he even brought Xiao Cai along.

Before coming here, he asked Xiao Cai, and Xiao Cai insisted on coming with him, refusing to stay in the sect by herself!

Oh dear, the little koi has become more and more clingy ever since it transformed into human form!

Left with no other choice, he had to turn Xiao Cai back into her koi carp form, and she is currently kept in his spirit beast pouch.

"Alright, quiet down. Is everyone ready?" Murong Ziling asked, standing beside Bai Linglong.

"Ready!" the disciples replied in unison.

"Ready? Let's set off and begin boarding!" Murong Ziling pointed to a giant cloud-sea spaceship in the middle of the square.

As soon as Zi Ling finished speaking, the disciples flew towards the spaceship.

Toyokawa also flew up.

Accompanying him were Huangfu Chuxia, He Lanxi, Nangong Yue, and He Buwei.

The other senior brothers all drew the "stay" lot, meaning they had to stay and guard the sect.

Although Fengchuan had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he concealed his cultivation level.

At this moment, he appeared to be at the peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm, similar to He Lanxi and Nangong Yue.

Huangfu Chuxia has now reached the ninth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm and is preparing to establish her foundation.

This trip to the Immortal Tomb was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her.

He Buwei's cultivation level is slightly lower, but he has recently broken through to the eighth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm.

After everyone boarded the ship, the cloud-sea spaceship slowly rose into the air.

The banner of the Qingyun Sword Sect was also unfurled and hung on the mast, fluttering in the wind.

"Move out!" Murong Ziling gave the order, and the spaceship headed towards the other twelve veins.

After taking a tour, the disciples from each lineage boarded the spaceship.

The number of people in each branch is about the same, around 200.

At this time, the spacecraft carried more than 3000 people.

Bai Linglong and Baili Xingyun lived on the top floor of the attic.

The spaceship sped up, gradually leaving the sect behind.

The journey is long, and it will probably take them at least half a month to reach their destination.

Along the way, we encountered many sects, but since everyone had a common goal, we generally did not interfere with each other.

Finally, the Qingyun Sword Sect's spaceship merged into the main force of the Wuji Sword Sect, a sacred sect.

They followed the main force towards the Mountains of No Return.

After another seven days of marching, the main force could finally see the outline of the No Return Mountains in the distance.

The No Return Mountains are filled with towering peaks and crisscrossing mountain ranges.

A beam of five-colored divine light shot straight into the sky, right in the center area.

However, the main force stopped about 100 miles away from the mountain range.

Subsequently, the various sects landed their spaceships and began setting up camp.

The Immortal Tomb is not yet open, and it is unknown how long it will take.

Therefore, the major sects sent letters to the three sects of Tianji, asking for the specific time when the Immortal Tomb would open.

This time, the three sects of Tianji did not disappoint the other sects and quickly gave their reply.

In another two weeks, the Immortal Tomb will be fully opened.

So all the sects, regardless of size, waited patiently.

Because this matter was of great importance, no sect wanted to create any unnecessary complications, and all of them restrained their disciples.

There weren't any dramatic incidents caused by disciples causing trouble.

However, there was no conflict on the human side, but there was constant friction on the demon beast side.

If it weren't for the top experts from various races suppressing them, they would probably have been beaten to a pulp by now.

Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous corner far away from the main human army, Toyokawa was restless.

He used all his strength to activate his Divine Concealment Technique, ensuring that not a single trace of his aura would be leaked.

After all, he wasn't sure if any of the demon beasts could detect his unusual behavior.
