After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

The seven elders of the Maitreya sect and Kongbai soon arrived at the meditation room of Abbot Wunian.

Everyone looked rather grim; they had clearly gathered some information about the situation on their way here.

The group clasped their hands together in a gesture of respect. Wu Nian nodded. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he said, "Kong Bai, tell the elders again everything you've encountered in the past two years regarding evil cultivators."

Kong Bai replied, "Yes, Abbot!"

All seven elders' gazes were focused on Kong Bai. "This disciple first encountered an evil cultivator three years ago, when I saved a female benefactor..."

Kong Bai succinctly recounted his experience and showed the elders the wisp of sinister energy he had previously collected.

The First Elder, Wuyou, said, "Abbot, this Hall of Longevity is truly treacherous. I thought it had long since collapsed, but I didn't expect it to have been hiding. Now it has actually come out again to wreak havoc on this world."

The Second Elder nodded helplessly: "My senior brother, the abbot, had mentioned this matter to me before. He had already instructed someone to inform the disciples who went out for training not to be alone. I didn't expect the Hall of Longevity to act so quickly. I will have the disciples who went out return as soon as possible."

Abbot Wunian nodded, agreeing with what the Second Elder said, "There's no other way, so I'll leave this matter to you. Tell them about the evil cultivators targeting the Maitreya Sect disciples, and tell them to find a way to return safely."

The Second Elder reluctantly bowed and replied, "Yes, Abbot. Should we send someone to fetch him?"

Wu Nian shook his head. "It's both a crisis and a test. They have to learn to protect themselves."

"Wuyou, I'll leave the sect's affairs to you and Wuming from now on. I'm going to Xuanji Sect." Wunian said to Elder Wuyou and Fourth Elder Wuming.

The two replied, "Yes."

"Wu Yuan, the disciples in the sect cannot slack off in their cultivation."

The Third Elder, Wuyuan, replied, "Yes, Abbot, I understand." He answered with ease, while it was his disciples who were working tirelessly day and night.

"Wu Chen, the safety of the sect is entrusted to you."

Fifth Elder Wuchen: "Abbot, please rest assured."

Wu Nian nodded and continued to instruct, "Wu Yin and Wu Le, go to Desire Valley and Thousand Moon Mountain."

The Sixth Elder, Wuyin, and the Seventh Elder, Wule, responded simultaneously, "Yes, Abbot." For other cultivators, Desire Valley and Thousand Moon Mountain were merely training grounds that were of little use, but for Buddhist cultivators, they were sacred places, containing mostly rare and precious natural treasures that were beneficial to Buddhist cultivation.

Although these two places are far from the Maitreya Sect, they have been assigned to the Maitreya Sect. Not only are the sect's patriarchs guarding them, but they also have formations. The people from the Longevity Palace wanted to go and destroy the two places, but they couldn't.

Wuyin and Wule's goal this time is to obtain something that can restrain evil cultivators, and they may obtain more than before.

After receiving their instructions, the seven elders left the meditation room, leaving only Kong Bai standing there.

Kong Bai bowed and said, "Abbot Uncle, this disciple will go down first."

Wu Nian looked at him and said, "Kong Bai, come with me to Xuanji Sect tomorrow."

Kong Bai respectfully replied, "Yes, Abbot Uncle!"

Kong Bai returned to his meditation room and sent a message to Hua Rongyi, but received no reply. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go and check if his master, Abbot Wuxiang, had emerged from seclusion.

Wu Xiang has been in seclusion since returning from the Shan Hai Sect two years ago, and has not emerged yet.

Kong Bai wasn't disappointed. He went back to cultivate. He had a feeling that a storm was brewing and time was running out. No matter what, strength was the most important thing.
