Seeing the two men on the verge of fighting, Xuan En, though knowing they were unlikely to actually fight and would at most exchange words, still stepped forward to mediate.
"Both of you are now Golden Immortals, and you are not enemies, so why bother?"
Lion Tyrant snorted coldly.
"Don't think I don't know. Xiaotian recommended me to the Buddha to integrate the original five major forces. Such despicable methods are disgusting."
With the retreat of Tiger Power Sweeper Monk and others to focus on cultivation, their influence has shrunk significantly. If no one is sent to manage it soon, they may disappear altogether.
Having witnessed the wonders of the Immortal Cloud Holy Land, who would want to leave this unique and blessed place for cultivation?
Therefore, they all found various reasons to refuse, as they really did not want to leave this place.
Meng Fan originally assigned this task to Hu Li and the other four, but they saw that it was such a trivial matter that they didn't need to take the initiative, and besides, their cultivation was progressing by leaps and bounds, so who would want to leave?
Since the matter wasn't urgent, they delegated it to their capable subordinates.
But who would be willing to go? Some people went out for ten years before and came back far behind their peers. This time, who knows how many years they'll be gone on this mission? Won't they fall completely behind when they come back?
They were utterly astonished upon arriving at this sacred land of immortals. They never imagined that such a blessed place for cultivation existed in the universe, and they were also grateful that they had chosen the right person to follow.
Xuan En was surprised to see this side of Xiao Tian, and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
Xiao Tian said awkwardly, "This is not my fault. The Buddha and the other five overlords insisted that I go. If I didn't go, they made me recommend someone. With so many people, I could only say one randomly."
Lion Tyrant roared, "Buddha and the others asked you to recommend someone, do you know that I am not human, I am a demon!"
Xiao Tian was somewhat bewildered by Lion Tyrant's words, thinking to himself, "You really have no shame in trying to avoid leaving."
"Why don't we get together and discuss this?"
"Discuss what? Just go if Buddha and the others tell you to. Do you have to offend us all?"
Xiao Tian's expression was not good.
"Are they sure they can take me down?"
"Don't think I don't know. Tiger Power Immortal said that you made an excuse last time because you weren't a Golden Immortal yet. Now that you've become a Golden Immortal, you have no reason to make an excuse. You'd better hurry up and go, or those people left behind will be gone!"
Just as Xiaotian was about to argue, the clouds in the sky changed, the light intensified, and a magnificent palace appeared and disappeared.
Tiger Power's figure slowly descended, his body radiating immortal light and carrying an aura of eternal immortality. This aura caused the cultivators on the lake to be shaken, knowing that this was a sign of the Great Luo Immortal. Tiger Power had reached the peak of immortality and become an eternally carefree being!
"We have met the Great Immortal Tiger Power!"
Tiger Power flicked his yellow Taoist robe, and a beam of immortal light shot out, revealing a water mirror that showed the current state of the five major forces.
When everyone looked up, they saw that the five major forces were no longer the same as they had been at their peak. They were now just a few big cats and small cats, and they had to hide and keep a low profile. They were in a miserable state!
"Ten of you will be selected to go out this time. The purpose is to reorganize the five major forces, merge them into the Cloud Palace, contact the Junqing Chamber of Commerce, and plunder immortal crystals."
Hu Li paused, his gaze fixed on them.
"Who of you will go? I hope you will all sign up enthusiastically."
There was complete silence below. Normally, they would have already started fighting over it, but they still held onto a sliver of hope, given that it was a blessed land of the Immortal Cloud Holy Land.
Hu Li snorted and said, "It seems you are all unenlightened. You enjoy the convenience of the Immortal Cloud Holy Land but are unwilling to contribute. Fine, you have been here for two hundred thousand years. It is time for you to go out and fulfill your obligations. So be it, all of you go out."
After these words were spoken, the crowd looked at each other, realizing that they had gone too far. They quickly knelt down and said, "We are guilty and beg the Great Immortal to punish us."
"Hmph, I have no interest in arguing with you. A hundred or so of you are just an eyesore. You might as well all go out and do some work for me. You're just making trouble all the time."
Hearing this, everyone knew that there was no way to change the situation, so it was better for them to leave. That way, if they couldn't cultivate, no one else could either.
"We will obey the Great Immortal's decree."
Hu Li nodded, and then four beams of light appeared, and four figures appeared beside him.
"These are Xiao Lingyun, Jingyi, Daozongzi, and Zhichang. Their cultivation has reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal level."
Then another figure appeared on the lake. This person was a middle-aged scholar, with a natural and comfortable demeanor. The five elements were rising on his surface. It was Wu Dong.
He has already condensed a perfect physical body. In the process of condensing his physical body, he has gained a deeper understanding of the Five Elements Dao. He was originally at the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but now he has reached a higher level and broken through to the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
Hu Li said calmly, "This is Fellow Daoist Wu Dong, a Great Luo Golden Immortal. You will follow his instructions when you go out this time."
"Fellow Daoist Wu Dong, I'm sorry to trouble you to put in more effort."
Wu Dong, now full of energy and spirit, said cheerfully, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I dare not disobey the Palace Master's orders. However, the Heavenly Dao Alliance still does not know the Palace Master's intentions, whether or not to destroy it."
"Just let things take their course. If he wants to die, there's no need to hold back. You have a protective item bestowed upon you by the Palace Master, so Zhou Qi and the others can't do anything to you."
"In that case, I will be able to manage the Cloud Palace in an orderly manner."
"I trust you to handle things; I'm leaving this to you."
After saying that, Hu Li disappeared in a hurry, probably to go and cultivate.
Wu Dong glanced around and muttered, "Four Taiyi Golden Immortals and more than a hundred Golden Immortals. Once this force emerges, it will surely shock the world. Lin Xiu is nothing to fear. Zhou Qi, Zhou Ba, and Zhou Jiu are troublesome, but with my current Five Elements power, it's not certain who will win in a one-against-three fight."
Wu Dong's words were filled with strong confidence. The Five Elements Great Dao Law was a top-tier law, especially when applied to combat, it was incredibly terrifying. He was confident that he could take on three opponents at once.
A flash of light appeared beside him, and ten figures appeared around him.
"Chu Di, a third-generation disciple of Yunxiao Palace, and his fellow disciples greet Senior Wu."
Wu Dong knew that none of these people were simple characters. How could someone who had cultivated to the Golden Immortal level in just 200,000 years be a simple person?
Are you going out to gain experience?
Chu Di said somewhat embarrassedly, "The Palace Master thought we were in the way in the palace, so he sent us out to gain experience."
Wu Dong's lips twitched. He thought to himself, "Whose juniors only go out to train after cultivating to the Golden Immortal level? This is hardly training; it's more like a trip."
"In that case, let's go that way."
Looking at the celestial cloud holy land, which resembled a fairyland, everyone sighed, wondering how long it would take to return after this trip.
