Chapter 359: 208, Our organization, let’s call it...Butian Sect, Dao Pill’s second Fate Deduction (7k major Chapter)_4
In the same year, Xu Xing encountered Saintess Wu Miao of the Starfall Sect, with whom he had a one-hundred-year agreement, and the two engaged in dual cultivation.
Later, Wu Miao faced a fatal tribulation and was saved by Ruan Baimei.
Xu Xing and Ruan Baimei had a verbal confrontation, after which Xu Xing established the Butian Sect on the sea.
In the 145th year of Tiande, as a result of rescuing Wu Miao, Xu Xing was forced to flee to Weishan Island. After two years in seclusion, with the help of Wu Miao’s pure Yin Element, he successfully broke through to the Dao Pill Fourth Stage.
In the 146th year of Tiande, Wu Miao resigned, planning to return to the Starfall Sect to inherit the Sect Leader Position.
Unable to bear seeing Wu Miao go alone, and considering the difficulty of establishing a presence in the Wangchuan Sea, Xu Xing decided to accompany her to the North Wilderness.
In the 147th year of Tiande, after more than a year of travel, Xu Xing and Wu Miao returned to the Starfall Sect in the North Wilderness.
In the 148th year of Tiande, the Godslayer Sect attacked. Xu Xing set up the Minor Celestial Star Battle Array, and with the combined forces of the Starfall Sect House Elders, they killed three Nascent Soul Daoist Lords, eight Dao Pill Daoists, and countless remaining disciples of the Godslayer Sect.
Among them, Blood Slayer Lu Hua, ranked fifteenth on the Heaven List, also perished.
In the 151st year of Tiande, with the help of the Profound Female Physique and through dual cultivation, Xu Xing’s cultivation advanced rapidly, reaching the Sixth Stage of Dao Pill.
In the same year, Xu Xing bid farewell to the Starfall Sect and hurried to the Immeasurable Sect in the Nanyan Continent to participate in the Foundation Establishment Ceremony.
At the ceremony, True Monarch Tian Yan of Phantom Valley challenged Xu Xing, but with a minor display of skill from Xu Xing, True Monarch Tian Yan was defeated in a single move.
True Monarch Tian Yan was a veteran True Monarch of Phantom Valley.
Xu Xing’s rapid improvement in strength eventually drew the apprehension of the Immeasurable Sect.
Golden Rainbow Ancestor Yan Luanqing had no choice but to come out of seclusion to meet Xu Xing. Upon learning that Xu Xing possessed the Golden Crow Immortal Body, she conceived the idea of forming a spousal relationship with him.
In the 153rd year of Tiande, Xu Xing held a spousal ceremony with Golden Rainbow Ancestor Yan Luanqing, taking her as his spouse.
The two jointly cultivated the "Yin and Yang Harmony Pact," an ancient, top-tier dual cultivation method.
In the 157th year of Tiande, through dual cultivation with Yan Luanqing, Xu Xing’s cultivation progressed swiftly, and he quickly broke through to the Dao Pill Later Stage, achieving the Seventh Stage of Dao Pill.
「After that.」
「Time flew by.」
「Forty years passed in the blink of an eye.」
Nourished by Xu Xing’s Golden Crow Immortal Body, Yan Luanqing’s cultivation also began to increase, reaching the mid-stage Nascent Soul.
In the 197th year of Tiande, Xu Xing reached the Dao Pill Nine Transformations realm.
Under his management, the Immeasurable Sect’s affairs flourished.
At this moment, the Immeasurable Sect’s mortal enemy, Silver Ring Zhai, could no longer restrain itself. It allied with three other sects from North Yue Country—Phantom Valley, the Extreme Heart Sect, and Iron Phoenix Mountain—to besiege the Immeasurable Sect.
The four major sects attacked. The Immeasurable Sect was in grave danger.
However, due to Xu Xing’s prior arrangements, the majority of the Immeasurable Sect’s elite forces, including him and all high-level combatants, had already been transferred away ahead of time.
In the 201st year of Tiande, the Immeasurable Sect started anew in South Yue Nation, calling itself the Jin Ze Sect.
The Jin Ze Sect lacked a Blessed Land in South Yue Nation to provide Cave Mansions for Dao Pill Daoists to break through to become Nascent Soul Daoist Lords, and renting one was too risky.
A Blessed Land, at the very least, required a sect’s accumulation of resources over several millennia; it could not be created overnight.
At this time, Xu Xing revealed his origins and background to his spouse, Yan Luanqing.
In the 203rd year of Tiande, Xu Xing and Yan Luanqing traveled to East Huangzhou via the Cross-State Teleportation Array.
In the 204th year of Tiande, under the protection of his spouse Yan Luanqing, Xu Xing made contact with Kui Qi and the Kuimen Daoist Lord on Sealed Demon Island.
However, this time, Sect Master Ren Yuanrui did not intend to pass the Sect Leader’s Position to Xu Xing. He only wanted Xu Xing to assist Ruan Baimei.
It turned out that during the fifty years of Xu Xing’s absence, Ruan Baimei, using the doctrines of the Butian Sect, had gathered a large group of like-minded cultivators from various sects.
Ren Yuanrui, seeing this, chose to let Ruan Baimei inherit the Sect Leader Position.
In the 205th year of Tiande, with the help of his "friend" Ruan Baimei, Xu Xing rented a Blessed Land in the Sealed Demon Pan Palace for secluded cultivation.
「Six years later.」
He successfully condensed his Nascent Soul and became a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord.
In the 211th year of Tiande, the Nanhua Sect married Zuoqiu Ying to Ruan Baimei, the Seventeenth Sect Leader of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, thereby interfering in the internal affairs of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, intending to reshape it.
Under Ruan Baimei’s reforms, the Flying Feather Immortal Palace gradually took on a new look.
In the 223rd year of Tiande, the members of the Butian Sect gradually split from Ruan Baimei, turning instead to support Xu Xing as their Sect Leader.
In the same year, Ruan Baimei dispatched Zhongtai Dao Monarch and thirteen other Dao Lords to ambush and kill Xu Xing and Yan Luanqing.
The stated reason was that they were obstructing the path to the Flying Feather Immortal Palace’s revival.
In the 224th year of Tiande, Xu Xing and Yan Luanqing, though heavily injured, successfully escaped the pursuit of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace and reached the North Wilderness.
The two went into secluded cultivation at the Starfall Sect to recuperate.
In the 236th year of Tiande, Sect Master Wu Miao of the Starfall Sect died mysteriously. Xu Xing and his wife became estranged.
However, as their interests were intertwined and they were in the same boat, they did not openly turn hostile.
In the 271st year of Tiande, Elder Zuo Qiu of the Nanhua Sect, for unknown reasons, passed away in his prime.
Without the Nanhua Sect’s support, Ruan Baimei’s power and influence in the Flying Feather Immortal Palace gradually waned.
「The following year, his position as Sect Leader was abolished.」
「Three years later, he died a sudden and mysterious death.」
Without Ruan Baimei, the Butian Sect disintegrated, and one faction sought out Xu Xing again.
To achieve the Primordial Spirit realm, one needed a Cave. This could either be evolved from a Blessed Land or seized from others.
In the 275th year of Tiande, Xu Xing and Yan Luanqing accepted the remnants of the Butian Sect and proclaimed themselves Sect Leader and Sect Mother of the Butian Sect.
Relying on the strength of the Butian Sect and the Starfall Sect, the couple gradually established themselves in the North Wilderness, their strength coming to threaten the Seven Stars Sect and the Godslayer Sect.
In the 311th year of Tiande, the Butian Sect, Starfall Sect, and Godslayer Sect united. More than ten Nascent Soul Daoist Lords besieged the Supreme Elder of the Seven Stars Sect, successfully killing this last Nascent Soul Saint Monarch of the Seven Stars Sect.
From then on, the Seven Stars Sect was removed from the Ten Major Sects.
In the 315th year of Tiande, the Godslayer Sect turned on the Butian Sect and the Starfall Sect, using Seven Star Hai Tang to secretly assassinate high-ranking members of the two sects.
Xu Xing and his wife were forced to flee to the Nanyan Continent, avoiding pursuit from various sects.
In the 349th year of Tiande, Xu Xing and his wife, having recovered from their injuries, ended their secluded cultivation.
In the 383rd year of Tiande, the Emperor’s Son Pavilion of the Chiming Imperial Dynasty dispatched cultivators to recruit Xu Xing and his wife, making them Retainers under its command.
The Emperor’s Son Pavilion hailed from Zhongtu Dao State, its strength unfathomable.
Furthermore, they promised that if Xu Xing and his wife joined, each would be granted a Yuan Shen Pill.
With such a generous reward, Xu Xing and his wife naturally agreed and joined the Emperor’s Son Pavilion.
In the 411th year of Tiande, the Emperor’s Son Pavilion launched an expedition, annihilating Daoist Sects across the Nanyan Continent and collecting the Nascent Souls of their Nascent Soul Daoist Lords.
After thirty-seven years of this harvest, the Emperor’s Son Pavilion had killed a total of 136 Nascent Soul Daoist Lords in the Nanyan Continent.
Considering that Xu Xing and his wife had contributed greatly on this occasion, the Emperor’s Son Pavilion not only granted each of them a Yuan Shen Pill but also gave them the opportunity to enter Zhongtu Dao State.
In the 452nd year of Tiande, Xu Xing and his wife arrived in the Chiming Imperial Dynasty via a Cross-State Teleportation Array.
Zhongtu Dao State was not in the same world as the Nanyan Continent and East Huangzhou. It was the Upper Boundary Realm.
The Primordial Spirit cultivation realm was far from the apex.
In the 457th year of Tiande, Xu Xing’s Golden Crow Immortal Body was exposed. He became the male pet of Princess Chang Le, the daughter of the King of Chu, branded with a Slave Mark, and endured immense humiliation.
During this period, his wife, Yan Luanqing, also fled on her own, her whereabouts becoming unknown.
In the 467th year of Tiande, amidst internal strife within the Chu Royal Mansion, Xu Xing seized an opportunity to escape.
On the way, the Slave Mark activated. He severed his own bloodline, transforming into a Mortal, and barely managed to survive.
In the 481st year of Tiande, after more than a decade of re-cultivation, Xu Xing’s cultivation returned to the Dao Pill Third Stage, and he barely possessed the strength to protect himself.
In the 520th year of Tiande, having lost the Golden Crow Immortal Body, Xu Xing’s cultivation progressed slowly. After reaching the Seventh Stage of Dao Pill, he made no further advancement.
In that same year, he encountered an old acquaintance—Yan Luanqing.
Without the Golden Crow Immortal Body, he was utterly dejected and was ignored by Yan Luanqing.
In the 1,423rd year of Tiande, Xu Xing reached the end of his natural lifespan and passed away peacefully.
