He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 241 Permanent Residence Right in Emei (First Update)

"No wonder they're known as the number one righteous sect!"

After listening to Shangguan Qian's introduction, Li Chuan finally gained a clear understanding of Emei's true strength.

The Emei Sect Leader, Master Bai Mei, is a peak Earth Immortal. He can break through to the Celestial Immortal realm and ascend to the Upper Realm at any time if he wishes. His magic weapon, the Haotian Mirror, is known as the number one magic weapon in the Lower Realm.

The eldest disciple, Dan Chenzi, is an early-stage Earth Immortal. His magic weapon, the Flying Knife Wings, is composed of tens of thousands of small flying knives resembling flying swords. Its flight speed far exceeds that of normal sword escape. When unleashed at full power, it is equivalent to controlling tens of thousands of flying swords to attack simultaneously, making its power extremely terrifying.

Senior Sister Li Yingqi, at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, is the owner of the Heavenly Strike Sword, one of the strongest Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords of Emei. Thanks to the Heavenly Strike Sword, her true combat power is no less than that of an Earth Immortal who has survived the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations.

However, Li Chuan knew that Li Yingqi was actually reconstructed by the White-Browed Immortal using the ashes and remnants of the soul of Master Gu Yue, the leader of Kunlun Sect, who was killed by the Netherworld Blood Demon, 197 years ago, using a special secret method.

Because Master Guyue was killed by Youquan, he could not reincarnate. Meanwhile, Master Baimei was searching for the owner of the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords for Emei. So when he arrived in Kunlun and found Guyue's remnant soul, he took it back and used it.

Master Guyue, as the head of Kunlun Sect, is also at the mid-stage of Earth Immortal cultivation. Those who can cultivate to the Earth Immortal realm are all exceptionally talented individuals, and their aptitude after being reshaped will naturally be excellent as well.

Indeed, after being reshaped, Li Yingqi reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in less than two hundred years.

The second senior brother, Chang Kong Wuji, was another cultivation prodigy found in the world after Bai Mei reshaped Li Yingqi. He inherited the other sword of the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords, the Thunderflame Sword, and had the cultivation of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. His strength was comparable to Li Yingqi's.

Third Senior Brother Duan Lei, in the early stage of Nascent Soul, is skilled in the Taiyi Dividing Light Sword. He can instantly transform a flying sword into dozens of swords to form a sword wheel attack, increasing its power tenfold. He once used this sword technique to kill a demonic cultivator in the late stage of Nascent Soul.

The Seven Masters of the Clouds are all at the peak of the Core Formation stage. Among the three hundred disciples of Qingcheng, there are thirty disciples in the early and middle stages of Core Formation and two hundred and seventy disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage.

In contrast, the sect Xiaozhushan, which Li Chuan inherited and belonged to, had a total of ten members. The strongest member, Daoist Qingzhu, was only at the peak of the Core Formation stage, while the rest were all at the Foundation Establishment stage.

That's absolutely awful!

In terms of combat strength, Master Qingzhu's combat strength is probably about the same as that of one of the three hundred Qingcheng disciples who is in the mid-stage of Core Formation.

Given the actual combat strength of Emei sword cultivators, as long as they don't cross a major realm, fighting across realms is basic, especially when they are below the Nascent Soul stage.

"It's Junior Brother Chu and the others who are back. I wonder if their journey went smoothly."

Senior Brother Dan Chenzi was supervising his junior brothers' practice of sword control when he saw the Seven Sons of the Clouds returning from afar. He then spoke to Li Yingqi and the others standing nearby.

"Oh, the Lotus Fairy has arrived too."

However, he soon saw the Lotus Fairy following behind the Seven Sons of the Clouds.

"There is also a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator from another sect."

"Eldest brother, eldest sister, second brother, third brother!"

Upon landing in the plaza, the Seven Clouds bowed in unison to their four senior brothers and sisters.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, before the Seven Sons of the Clouds could recount their experiences, a thousand-meter-tall phantom suddenly rose from the ancient hall behind them.

The phantom had white hair and eyebrows, and a kind face, but the aura it exuded gave Li Chuan a feeling of unease.

That was an instinctive reaction caused by a huge disparity in strength.

His intuition told him that if he fought White Eyebrows, no matter what methods he used, he would likely be reduced to ashes in an instant, leaving not a trace.

Indeed, even if he uses all his methods now, he can only fight to a draw with the Blood God Child, who is in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and that's only because he injured the opponent's vital energy with a sneak attack at the beginning.

However, Master Bai Mei was at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm, and could break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm at any time. The difference between him and an ordinary person was roughly the same.

"Greetings, Master!"

Upon seeing the thousand-meter-high phantom behind them, all the Emei disciples shouted respectfully.

The illusory figure smiled and nodded, then looked down at the Seven Sons of the Clouds:

"Seven Sons of the Clouds, there must have been some problems on this trip. Tell me what happened."

The eldest brother, Chu Yuxiang, stepped forward and respectfully recounted in great detail his encounter with Li Chuan and the elders of the Xuan Yin Sect, their journey together to Zui Xian Cliff to slay demons, the Blood God Child's sneak attack, and how they were ultimately defeated by Li Chuan.

After listening to Chu Yuxiang's account, everyone's attention shifted away from the Lotus Fairy and the Lingzhi Boy, and instead they all looked at Li Chuan standing there with astonishment.

Li Qingfeng, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Xiaozhushan, actually defeated Xue Shenzi, the disciple of Youquan Old Demon of the Blood Demon Palace, which is truly astonishing.

You must know that Blood God Child is a true master who can fight on par with their third senior brother, Duan Lei.

Moreover, the sect leader of the Songshan Sect, who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, was refined by the Blood River and his soul was destroyed when he fought against the Blood God ten years ago.

"Lotus Fairy, you can stay at Xiaoyue Peak. If you need anything, you can find the Heavenly Sword Master Li Yingqi."

Master Bai Mei smiled at Fairy Lianhua. He was naturally very willing to have such a master alchemist stay at Emei.

The Lotus Fairy, holding the Lingzhi Boy, bent down:

"Thank you, Master White Eyebrows!"

Master Bai Mei nodded and then looked at Li Chuan:

"Fellow Daoist Li Qingfeng of Xiaozhushan, thank you for your help to the Seven Masters of Yunzhong. The Emei Sect welcomes you to visit us anytime. The Seven Masters of Yunzhong will take you to Liuyun Peak later, where you can choose a courtyard to live and cultivate."

Although it was due to the secret techniques from his past life, his ability to fight a Nascent Soul cultivator while only at the Foundation Establishment stage was truly remarkable. Making friends with such a righteous person would naturally be a good thing for Emei, especially since he had also saved the lives of the Seven Heroes of the Clouds.

Upon hearing Bai Mei Zhenren's words, Li Chuan's eyes lit up, and he bowed like the Lotus Fairy:

"Thank you, Master White Eyebrows!"

It seemed that Master Bai Mei hadn't given him anything of value as a reward, but in reality, just a villa on Liuyun Peak was already a very high return.

Liuyun Peak is the mountain where the Seven Masters of the Clouds cultivate. Allowing him to choose a special villa to live and cultivate in implies that he has been granted the right to cultivate and reside in the Emei Sect permanently.

As the number one righteous sect, the Emei Sect's mountain peak has the strongest ability to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the world. One year of cultivation on the peak of Emei is comparable to ten years of cultivation in the mortal world.

Therefore, this reward is quite high, much more valuable than any magical treasure or flying sword given as a gift.

After all, only by breaking through realms can one increase lifespan, and compared to other places, Mount Emei is absolutely safe. It's impossible for you to be attacked by demonic beasts and evil cultivators when you're at a crucial point in your cultivation.

Of course, at least the first three years of the Youquan Blood Demon's attack on Emei were safe.
