43: The Xi family submits! The Immortal City is newly established!

Right! Very right!

Xi Canghai felt there was no problem at all, while Xi Cangxuan was utterly speechless. "Look at my two daughters' expressions; do you think they believe you?"

You old geezer!

Jing Donghai was also present at this time, but he wore a miserable expression.

Just thinking about how not a single Disciple he brought from the Jingyue Dynasty had passed made him furious! This bunch of useless brats! Just wait until I get back and deal with you!

Jing Donghai looked at Xi Canghai and the other man; he didn't recognize them!

Then he overheard the conversation of Xi Family Sisters. Well, well, so they were the father and grandfather of those two prodigies!

He knew of Xi Yuqing and Xi Yuning; they were peerless prodigies who had climbed over nine hundred and ten steps of the Heaven-Climbing Stairs.

Their identities were likely not simple either. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he remained silent for now, waiting for Lin Daoyuan to finish speaking!

Back with the two sisters, Xi Canghai felt extremely guilty under Xi Yuning's gaze. He couldn't exactly say he had come for *that* and then got caught!

That would be too embarrassing. As a mighty expert of the Supreme Realm and a being standing at the peak of the Hongwu Continent, how could he lose face in front of his granddaughters!

"Uh, my dear granddaughters! Grandpa really did come just to see you two!"

"Wasn't I just worried? Besides, you're just two young girls. What if you were tricked?"

Hearing this, Xi Cangxuan was truly speechless, feeling that Xi Canghai was throwing away all their dignity.

Xi Yuning still didn't believe it, so she bowed toward Lin Daoyuan, who was sitting in the main seat.

She said, "Disciple pays respects to the Sect Master!"

"Disciple wishes to ask the Sect Master if my grandfather and father have done anything to offend the Immortal Sect. If they have, I am willing to bear the responsibility. Please, Sect Master, do not drive my sister and me away!"

On the side, Xi Yuqing also thought about it and remembered that she and her sister had run away. If their grandfather and father had offended the Sect in their haste to find them, what should they do?

"Please do not blame them, Sect Master. This Disciple is willing to bear the responsibility!"

Xi Yuqing also knelt and bowed to Lin Daoyuan.

Hearing this, Lin Daoyuan smiled slightly, as if he didn't care about the matter at all.

"They haven't offended the Sect; they simply wanted to come and see you."

Hearing Lin Daoyuan's words, the two sisters were momentarily confused.

Why is this different from what I thought!

Yet they didn't dare to disbelieve Lin Daoyuan's words.

"Disciple thanks the Sect Master for clarifying!"

"See, my dear granddaughters, Grandpa really did come to see you!"

Hearing this, Xi Yuqing pulled Xi Yuning and said, "Grandpa, now that you've seen us, we want to go Cultivate. We want to become stronger!"

Then Xi Yuning looked toward her Revered Master, Li Danqing.

Seeing this, Li Danqing chuckled.

"Sect Master, since there is nothing else, this old man will take his leave first. The Physiques of these two girls still need to be activated."

"Go ahead!"

Lin Daoyuan responded. Then Li Danqing looked at Xi Canghai and his son and handed them a token.

"If you need anything in the future, you can find me!"

Then he led Xi Family Sisters away. As they left, Xi Yuning even made a face at Xi Canghai.

However, the two of them were helpless. Truly, once a girl grows up, she can't be kept at home!

At that moment, an idea formed in Xi Canghai's mind!

"May I ask, Senior, does your noble Sect still require any subordinate forces?"

Xi Cangxuan's mouth hung open in shock at Xi Canghai's words.

"Father, you!"

Hearing this, Lin Daoyuan gave Xi Canghai a meaningful look.

"A subordinate force?"

[Ding! Host may accept. A powerful Sect must not only be strong itself, but its external influence must also be formidable!]

Lin Daoyuan then agreed to Xi Canghai's request.

He then gave Xi Canghai a subordinate force token, identical to the one Jing Donghai had.

Holding the token, Xi Canghai felt incredibly fortunate. His intuition told him that because of today's unprecedented decision, there was no telling how far his Xi Family would develop!

"But let me give you fair warning: restrain and educate your clan's Disciples well. This Sect Master will not tolerate any misbehavior!"

Lin Daoyuan added coldly.

Hearing this, Xi Canghai and his son were so frightened they broke into a cold sweat.

"Yes, Sect Master, we will be mindful at all times!"

Damn, I'll write the Sect's rules into the clan regulations as soon as I get back!

At this moment, Xi Cangxuan was actually a bit confused. To think that his Xi Family, a massive force at the Supreme level with a place in the Upper Heaven Realm, would now submit to a Sect in the Lower Heaven Realm! Although they might not be able to defeat the Immortal Sect, they could have developed independently. It would have been fine for both sides to treat each other with courtesy and maintain good relations, but making a Supreme-level power from the Upper Heaven Realm submit was a bit... much, wasn't it?

But seeing Xi Canghai's ecstatic expression, he knew it was impossible to understand the reason here. After all, Xi Cangxuan knew that Lin Daoyuan was very strong, as were the several elders!

Good heavens, he hadn't expected the Sect to take in another subordinate force, and one with such a significant background!

Then, through Lin Daoyuan's introduction, Jing Donghai and Xi Canghai became acquainted. Especially since both of their names contained the word "Hai," they felt an even greater sense of kinship!

"Haha, Brother Jing!"

"Brother Xi!"

Xi Canghai didn't look down on Jing Donghai for being only at the Half-step Spirit Transformation stage at all; instead, they began addressing each other as brothers.

When Jing Donghai learned that the Xi Family came from the Upper Heaven Realm and that Xi Canghai was a super expert of the Supreme Realm, his heart remained shocked for a long time!

The Upper Heaven Realm!

The higher one's cultivation level, the higher the secrets one could touch upon. For a small dynasty like his Jingyue Dynasty, it was previously impossible to reach this level unless a mighty expert from the Upper Heaven Realm came to them. Yet now, he was calling such an expert "brother"!

Is this for real?

After a long while, Jing Donghai calmed down and smiled with relief. Having followed the Changqing Immortal Sect, perhaps there would be many more such occurrences in the future!

Then Zhuge Ming arrived.

"Sect Master, about the city construction?"

Zhuge Ming then discussed the plan for establishing Changqing Immortal City with Lin Daoyuan. Since the Xi Family had joined the Immortal Sect, Zhuge Ming knew it from the token. Even if they hadn't, would they dare call this a secret?

Hearing about the establishment of Changqing Immortal City, Jing Donghai and Xi Canghai were suddenly energized. This was a great opportunity!

Xi Cangxuan was already dazed by this point. Seeing his Supreme father, the pillar of the Family, acting like this, he didn't know if it was good or bad!

Soon, the matter of the city construction was finalized. The Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce would be the main builder, with the Jingyue Dynasty assisting. Surprisingly, however, Xi Canghai actually didn't want to return to the Upper Realm!

"Father! Why?"

"Cangxuan, you don't understand. In this world, the Supreme Realm is strong, but what about those above it? Although our Xi Family has a place in the Upper Heaven Realm, how many people are just trying to get close to us? How many are waiting for this old man to die? And how many are plotting in the shadows?"

"I bet the Immortal Sect is definitely not simple! You've also seen the current management within the Sect; the lowest are Star Venerables, and they are all stronger than you!"

Hearing this, Xi Cangxuan sighed.

"Hopefully! May it be as you wish!"

"Remember to manage the clan's Disciples well when you go back!"

"Yes!"

Xi Canghai then opened a Void Tunnel and sent Xi Cangxuan back to the Upper Heaven Realm!

Back at the Sect, when the Disciples saw the Cultivation Techniques and divine abilities in the Merit Hall, they were profoundly shocked. The impact was a literal jolt to their hearts.

"Is our Immortal Sect... an Ancient Sect?"

Then came the parting of the Disciples from their families. At the same time, the news that the Immortal Sect was going to build Changqing Immortal City at the foot of the Canglan Mountain Range spread. Some of the Disciples' Family members decided not to leave! They would stay here to build the city!

A few days passed, and at the foot of the Canglan Mountain Range—also known as the Changqing Mountain Range—the grand outline of a massive city had already begun to take shape!

With the help of the Jingyue Dynasty and the Nascent Soul level experts from the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce, the city construction progressed very quickly!

Not to mention, Xi Canghai was there as well!
