Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 20: The Puppeteer Behind the Scenes

In the chaotic domain,

In a range of mountains spanning tens of thousands of miles, filled with abundant spiritual energy, cranes danced in the sky.

On the surface, there are several major sects with their respective mountain gates. These sects are not at odds with each other, constantly fighting, but secretly they belong to the same power.

Deep within the mountains, several voices were exchanging words.

"The White Lotus Sect failed to disrupt the Great Qian Dynasty and three Empty Void Grandmasters died."

"If they died, they died. They were able to probe into some of the foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty, so they died as they deserved."

"Now that the White Lotus Sect is gone, let's rebuild it in a few years. Unexpectedly, the little girl, Tianxiang, has broken through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm. It's a pleasant surprise."

"Should we call her back and make other arrangements?"

"Forget it, let her continue to infiltrate the Great Qian Dynasty. In a few years, we'll provide her with some manpower to rebuild the White Lotus Sect."

"..."

The voices of several terrifying powerhouses continued to exchange, not taking the White Lotus Sect seriously, but still attaching great importance to Wusheng Laomu's breakthrough to the Myriad Manifestations Grandmaster.

When Wusheng Laomu left the chaotic domain, she was still at the peak of the Empty Void Realm. Unexpectedly, she broke through in three or four years in the Great Qian Dynasty.

This is an extremely terrifying force that has been lurking in the dark, already secretly controlling one-third of the power in the chaotic domain, but not existing on the surface.

The Great Qian Dynasty.

On the outskirts of Huozhou, in a mansion near Qingzhou, inside a village.

In a certain room, a voice that sounded like a prayer rang out. The voice was loud, but no one passing by outside could hear it.

"The mortal world is like a prison, all beings suffer; reincarnation is endless, worries never cease; pity us mortals, a divine being descends from the heavens; the White Lotus descends to earth, the people rise up; Wusheng Laomu, the true home of the Void."

After the prayer ended, the secret room fell silent, and it took a long time before a voice sounded.

"Leader, what should we do next?"

The person speaking was a middle-aged man dressed in a white robe, with a hint of confusion on his face.

In front of him was a barefoot young girl, her face covered with a light veil, making it impossible to see her appearance. Behind her were three faintly visible light circles, each with a different color, like Celestial Immortals descending to the mortal realm.

These two people were none other than Wusheng Laomu and the White Lotus Sect's Law King, who had escaped from the battle in Huozhou City.

No one could have imagined that Wusheng Laomu was actually a young girl. In people's minds, Wusheng Laomu should have had white hair and wrinkled skin, with either a kind or fierce expression.

"We don't need to do anything. Let's hide here for ten years to recover. If we are discovered midway, we'll move. After ten years, we'll go to Leizhou to spread our teachings. I believe the sect will provide us with a lot of support."

Wusheng Laomu said calmly, not at all troubled by the failure of the White Lotus Sect's disturbance in the Great Qian Dynasty. She was very clear that the White Lotus Sect could not overthrow the Great Qian Dynasty, at most it could disrupt the situation. When the Great Qian Dynasty struck with thunder, the White Lotus Sect would be wiped out.

But the mission of the White Lotus Sect was accomplished. They had probed into some of the foundation and attitude of the Great Qian Dynasty.

In fact, she still had some grievances in her heart. Being sent to establish the White Lotus Sect in the Great Qian Dynasty seemed like a good opportunity to make contributions, but the risk was too great.

If she hadn't broken through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm two years ago, becoming a Grandmaster, the White Lotus Sect would have truly become cannon fodder, unable to escape. Even so, only the two of them were left.

The rest of the sect members either died directly or were captured and imprisoned. Wusheng Laomu had no intention of rescuing them. Those who were captured were not high-level core members and did not know the true origin of the White Lotus Sect.

"Alright."

The Law King of the White Lotus Sect sighed and didn't say anything. Following the Myriad Manifestations Realm of the Eternal Mother, they would be safer and might be able to escape the pursuit of the Great Qian Dynasty.

In the dark room, the Eternal Mother looked towards the direction of Leizhou, her eyes flashing with a hint of brilliance.

The reason she was willing to come to the Great Qian Dynasty was partly due to her own selfishness. It was also the reason she was able to quickly break through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm and become a Grandmaster.

She had once obtained a part of an incomplete technique, even though it was incomplete, it was still of Heaven Grade lower quality, indicating how extraordinary this technique was.

Heaven Grade lower quality technique was a technique that directly pointed to the True Martial Realm. In other words, as long as her aptitude was sufficient, she could break through to the True Martial Realm with this technique.

Her aptitude was naturally extraordinary. Even in that mysterious power, she was considered a genius, having cultivated to the peak of the Empty Void Realm at a young age. This was also because she restrained herself and didn't want her technique to be discovered.

This technique was related to faith. As long as she gathered enough believers and obtained their faith, she could quickly break through her cultivation.

In the chaotic region, she dared not spread her teachings so openly. But coming to the Great Qian Dynasty, she didn't have to worry so much.

The White Lotus Sect quickly swept through five or six prefectures, all because of her. After gaining faith, she directly broke through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

Although the influence of the White Lotus Sect later spread wider, she didn't have the time to slowly spread her teachings in order to test the Great Qian Dynasty. The faith was thin and couldn't provide her with much assistance.

Now, she was lying low. As long as she survived the initial pursuit of the Great Qian Dynasty, the intensity would be much lower afterwards, and she could secretly spread her teachings in Leizhou.

If she could develop most of Leizhou into believers, her strength would soar to the peak of the Myriad Manifestations Realm. If she could take down the entire Leizhou, she might even be able to break through to the True Martial Realm in one fell swoop and become a core member of the mysterious power, no longer being manipulated by others.

Even if things went wrong and attracted another encirclement by the Great Qian Dynasty, she could quickly escape from Leizhou and enter the range of the Yin Yang Path.

The Yin Yang Path would not help the Great Qian Dynasty encircle her, and might even provide assistance.

Lingjun City.

Han Mansion.

Han Li looked at the invitation letter in his hand and fell into deep thought.

It had been two or three years since the chaos caused by the White Lotus Sect had been quelled, and he was preparing to take in a new concubine when he received this invitation letter.

It was sent by someone at the Innate Realm, and Han Li accepted it with just a glance.

"A gathering for wandering cultivators?"

After a slight hesitation, Han Li decided to attend.

Although the chaos caused by the White Lotus Sect had been quelled, the seeds had already been planted, and the Great Qian Dynasty was also in turmoil, with hidden currents and everyone feeling insecure.

Cultivators backed by major powers were still fine, but wandering cultivators were worried. If another outbreak of chaos like the White Lotus Sect were to occur, it would easily affect them.

So wandering cultivators from all over began to move closely, gathering in markets, exchanging information, and making transactions, each taking what they needed to prepare for the possible disasters that might occur later.

The wandering cultivators of Fengyang Prefecture were no exception.

The invitation that Han Li received was for one of these gatherings, where all the participants were Sea Opening Realm wandering cultivators. Since everyone had the same cultivation level, it was not easy for murder and treasure snatching incidents to occur, giving them a sense of security.

Han Li also thought so. A gathering of Sea Opening Realm wandering cultivators was just right for him to exchange for some pill formulas, refining diagrams, and other items he needed, and then refine them to sell to them.

Han Li believed that he had quite a business mind.

Moreover, he was at the Vital Spirit Realm, and those Sea Opening Realm wandering cultivators couldn't threaten him. Only he could threaten them by killing and snatching treasures, but in general, he wouldn't do that unless he couldn't help it.
