Qiu Kuang''s words shocked you.


    You initially thought that following the previous simtions would ensure sess, but you overlooked your own strength.


    In the previous simtions, your strength wasn''t as formidable as it is now. Perhaps in Qiu Kuang''s eyes, the three Immortal Dao inheritances could indeed bring such an improvement.


    But now, your strength far exceeds that of the previous simtions, so you couldn''t deceive Qiu Kuang!


    For a moment, your heart was filled with bitterness, but you still forced yourself to remain calm and looked at Qiu Kuang with feigned confusion.


    Qiu Kuang was unmoved and spoke bluntly: either you abolish your cultivation and stay with Qiu Zhixuan, and he would protect you both, or you die.


    What to do? What to do? The pressure from Qiu Kuang made you extremely anxious and unable to think clearly.


    At this moment, Qiu Zhixuan suddenly knelt in front of Qiu Kuang, tears streaming down her face.


    She begged Qiu Kuang not to abolish your cultivation and not to kill you.Seeing his beloved granddaughter like this, Qiu Kuang felt helpless.


    Finally, he told you that no matter what your reasons were for deliberately approaching his granddaughter, if you dared to betray her, you would surely die.


    Hearing this, you breathed a sigh of relief and repeatedly made promises.


    Several days passed, and you, Qiu Zhixuan, and Jiang Lianqiu were taken back to the Immortal Arrival Sect''s branch by Qiu Kuang.


    However, perhaps because you couldn''t deceive Qiu Kuang, he didn''t arrange for you to join the Immortal Arrival Sect.


    In fact, he even confined you in the pce.


    You had no way to resist this.


    So, you could only focus on cultivating.


    Decades passed in the blink of an eye.


    In the thirty-eighth year, your cultivation level had reached the third tier of the Great Ascension stage.


    This cultivation speed was not particrly fast.


    You knew that your true rapid improvement would begin after a hundred years, when you activated the Late Bloomer talent.


    But this time, being confined by Qiu Kuang and not allowed to join the Immortal Arrival Sect, you didn''t know if you would have the chance to activate that talent.


    In the fortieth year, Qiu Zhixuan excitedly found you and told you that her grandfather, Qiu Kuang, had agreed to help you get a chance to join the Immortal Arrival Sect.


    Hearing this, you were overjoyed and hugged Qiu Zhixuan tightly.


    In the forty-first year, Qiu Kuang took you to undergo the assessment to join the Immortal Arrival Sect.


    You gritted your teeth and endured the difort, ughtering three cities in a row to pass the first assessment.


    As for the subsequent assessment of killing local cultivators, youpleted it rtively smoothly.


    After all, you were not a saint. ughtering cities was hard for you because they were full of civilians, and the sheer number made you hesitant. Killing a few cultivators, however, didn''t burden you much.


    This time, there were no more tests. Qiu Kuang knew you had an agenda, and he only agreed to help you join the Immortal Arrival Sect to avoid breaking his granddaughter''s heart.


    You sessfully obtained the jade talisman, the token of the Immortal Arrival Sect.


    This made you breathe a sigh of relief. You felt that as long as you stayed low-key, you would have plenty of simtion time to improve.


    So, you once again immersed yourself in cultivation.


    In the forty-second year, you were notified to go to the Desert of Death to encircle the cultivators of Spine Mountain.


    In reality, Jiang Yifeng felt something was off when he saw this.


    How did it be the forty-second year?


    Shouldn''t it be the forty-third year?


    Suddenly, he pped his forehead.


    He almost forgot that more than half a year had passed in reality.


    So, it was normal for the events in the simtion to happen a bit earlier.


    Jiang Yifeng continued to look at the simtor.


    You and a group of Immortal ves arrived outside the Desert of Death and saw Old Li battling a Demonic Dragon. Your heart was filled with joy.


    You knew that the advice you gave your father, Jiang Fushan, at the start of the simtion—to avoid cultivation—had worked.


    This brought tears to your eyes.


    Even though your father didn''t believe you at the time, he remembered and followed through.


    Half a monthter, all the cultivators of Spine Mountain perished, and you all returned to the Immortal Arrival Sect.


    Because of your outstanding performance in killing enemies, you were promoted to Protector Disciple by Shen Wuyou.


    Shen Wuyou patted your shoulder, praised you for your talent, and encouraged you to keep up the good work. He hinted that you might soon be an elder.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    You were overjoyed. Originally, you had nned to give uppeting for the elder position.


    After all, without Qiu Kuang''s strong rmendation, you felt your qualifications were insufficient.


    But to your surprise, the sect master Shen Wuyou noticed you and even made you a promise.


    In the forty-third year, you returned to Green Hills City and saw your elderly father, Jiang Fushan, bedridden and frail.


    Seeing him like this, you couldn''t bear it.


    So, you told your father to cultivate, assuring him that as long as he didn''t reach an extremely high level, it shouldn''t be a problem.


    But Jiang Fushan just shook his head. He told you that although he didn''t know why you didn''t want him to cultivate, he trusted you had your reasons.


    He didn''t want to be a burden to you. Being able to see you onest time before his end was enough for him.


    In the forty-fifth year, your father passed away peacefully.


    You spent these two years at home with him, making up for the guilt in your heart.


    In the forty-sixth year, you began to hunt down seekers of the Immortal Dao on arge scale.


    In the fifty-first year, your merits in the Immortal Arrival Sect met the standard, and you earned the opportunity to be assessed for promotion to elder.


    Shen Wuyou told you that bing an elder was a significant event and required an assessment at the Immortal Arrival Sect''s headquarters.


    Afterward, Shen Wuyou took you away.


    You had no idea what this assessment entailed.


    But it was said that everyone who was promoted to elder had to undergo it.


    You didn''t hesitate and followed along.


    Having been in the Immortal Arrival Sect for so many years, you had only ever been in the Great Abyssal Kingdom''s branch. You were indeed curious about the headquarters.


    Of course, you were also somewhat cautious.


    After all, the headquarters of the Immortal Arrival Sect was too mysterious. You knew that not only you but other ordinary Immortal ves also didn''t know where it was!


    You followed Shen Wuyou, flying all the way, and then entered the Desert of Death.


    You frowned slightly, puzzled.


    Was the headquarters of the Immortal Arrival Sect in the Desert of Death?


    After a long time, Shen Wuyou brought you to an oasis in the Desert of Death, thennded and said to you, "We''re here!"


    Looking around, you were even more confused.


    Although you didn''t have memories from previous simtions, you had a fragmentary map of the Desert of Death. You knew this was the ce where you had hidden and cultivated in the early simtions.


    The headquarters of the Immortal Arrival Sect was actually here?


    But why hadn''t you encountered it before?
