Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

Walking through the second layer of the world, passing through the underworld, and through the teleportation ritual.

For a full year, the royal power traveled countless distances before finally arriving at the last stop on its journey into the far west.

This station is still a teleportation station.

However, this teleportation device is larger:

The vast city, spanning tens of thousands of miles, hangs silently in the air.

The city was vast and bustling with spirits and people.

When Wang Quan and his last companion arrived at the gathering point as indicated by their identity tokens, they discovered that there were hundreds of cultivators there.

Among the group of cultivators were Su Mali, Niu Dali, Meng Hu Daoren, and he even saw Ma Qingqiu.

Although he didn't recognize the other people, he instantly realized that they were his companions from other routes.

When everyone met, they naturally exchanged pleasantries.

When Ma Qingqiu saw Wang Quan, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"How did you reach the Foundation Establishment stage so quickly?"

"I thought you'd have to wait several years to reach the Foundation Establishment stage!"

Wang Quan was equally surprised: "I thought you had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage a long time ago, how come it's been delayed until now?"

Ma Qingqiu sighed, "After we parted ways back then, I collected Foundation Establishment spiritual light, evil energy, and other resources. When I returned, I heard that after reaching Foundation Establishment, I would be sent to the far west as cannon fodder, which delayed things for several years!"

"It wasn't until later, after I completed the second-grade Dao seal script, that I went to establish my foundation."

"After I established my foundation, they sent me to the far west; then I delayed for two more years, arriving right on time."

"And you? Did you complete the second-grade Dao seal before or after Foundation Establishment?"

"Did you also arrive at the exact time?"

Wang Quan feigned ignorance and laughed, "Is there a difference?"

Ma Qingqiu thought for a moment, then sighed, "There's not much difference!"

Wang Quan smiled.

Ma Qingqiu also smiled.

At this moment, Niu Dali came over and said, "Brother Ma, it's been so long! I've missed you terribly!"

Ma Qingqiu's lips twitched: "Brother Dali, please don't interrupt my conversation with Brother Wang Quan!"

Niu Dali winked and grinned sheepishly, "I understand!"

"You guys chat!"

Let's all work together to improve!

Ma Qingqiu...

Royal power...

After exchanging pleasantries, a puppet came over and shook its head: Ding ding ding!

The puppet's head emitted a bell-like sound, attracting everyone's attention. Then, a mouth appeared on its chest and abdomen: "Everyone, you elites who have entered the far west will now form a small team."

"You have become quite familiar with each other as you have traveled together."

"If we ever go to the far west, it would be best if we could help each other out!"

"In a moment, you will be transported to a base in the far west via a teleportation device."

"Once you arrive, your identity tokens will grant you different permissions based on your behavior along the way."

"The authority over the far west is quite important; you must find a way to improve it."

One cultivator sighed, "The second level of the inner realm requires permission, the sect requires permission, and now even going to the far west requires permission."

"Will I die if I don't have permission?"

The puppet smirked: "You won't die, but your privileges will be lower, and you won't be able to enjoy many benefits."

Everyone........

"You should familiarize yourselves with the area as soon as possible. The second batch of elite cannon fodder will arrive in half an hour; before that, you will be teleported to the far west."

As they were talking, the puppet left.

At this moment, Ma Qingqiu stared at the group of female cultivators, coughed, and said loudly, "Everyone, I am Ma Qingqiu of the Tai Su Sect, a true disciple of the Xuanmen."

Are there any other orthodox cultivators from the Xuanmen sect in the group?

Everyone remained silent.

Ma Qingqiu was secretly pleased: "Everyone, since I'm the only one from a legitimate Xuanmen sect, then... I'll temporarily act as the liaison for our team!"

"I come from the orthodox Xuanmen sect. Although I would not dare to say that I am knowledgeable, my foundation is still stronger than that of ordinary cultivators."

"I....."

Before he could finish speaking, a female cultivator sneered, "What do you mean, 'what do you mean'?"

"So the orthodox Xuanmen sect has a stronger foundation than us?"

"Does the orthodox sect of Taoism want to be the boss of this small group?"

"Heh, you think you have a strong foundation? Our foundation is extraordinary too."

"Those who obtained the Dao Seal and entered the second level of the Inner Realm, whose foundation was weak?"

"Want to be the group leader? Fine, wait until we get to the far west and show off your skills. If you're really that capable, even if you don't want to be the leader, we'll force you to be!"

"If you don't have the ability, even if you want to be in that position, no one will agree!"

Many cultivators nodded in agreement: "That's right. Let's get to know each other first. Whether we stick together for warmth when we go to the far west or go our separate ways, we can recognize each other and help each other out if needed."

"As for the position of leader... let's talk about it when we get to the far west!"

However, some people support him.

Yes, Niu Dali is very supportive of him.

Ma Qingqiu's face flushed red, and she gritted her teeth, secretly sneering, "A bunch of fools! Do you really think all Daoist cultivators have the same foundation?"

"Do you have the highest-level Foundation Establishment Platform?"

"Your Foundation Establishment Platform is probably just the most ordinary, or even second-best."

"You have no idea that only by mastering the [Second Grade Dao Seal] before Foundation Establishment can one obtain the most advanced Foundation Establishment Dao Platform."

"How many of you unorthodox cultivators can actually do that?"

He felt disdain, but at this moment, he couldn't argue back.

Wang Quan coughed: "Everyone, since that's the case, let's get to know each other first!"

A female cultivator looked around at the crowd and coughed, "Everyone, there are so many of us, and not enough time; normal methods simply won't get us all familiar with each other!"

"In my opinion, why don't we study the Taoist scriptures together and take this opportunity to get to know each other better?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Qingqiu, Niu Dali, and the others all raised their hands in approval: "Great idea!"

Ma Qingqiu, casting aside all his resentment and disdain, shouted, "I feel you're the one who should be the boss!"

"This suggestion is absolutely perfect!"

The female cultivator smirked, winked, and said smugly, "Although you come from a legitimate sect of the Xuanmen, you still lack in interpersonal skills!"

Ma Qingqiu nodded: "That's right, I will definitely humbly learn from you in the future!"

Wang Quan coughed: "Gentlemen, I'm not very interested in Taoist scriptures."

"You can figure it out yourselves!"

Ma Qingqiu: "Ah... the Taoist scriptures are fundamental!"

"How can one progress without studying the Taoist scriptures?"

Many cultivators nearby rolled their eyes: "So this is all the orthodox cultivators of the Xuanmen sect are made of!"

Wang Quan's words were merely a casual excuse.

Ma Qingqiu couldn't even tell the difference.

This disappointed many of the monks who had been secretly observing him.

Soon, one-third of the monks explicitly stated that they no longer liked studying Taoist scriptures.

The female cultivator who suggested studying the Taoist scriptures didn't care and casually tossed out a tent.

The tent grew larger, covering more than a hundred acres, and was hung directly in the air.

Those who enjoy studying Taoist scriptures went inside to get to know each other.

Wang Quan and the others sat to the side, briefly introducing themselves to each other.
