Lu Yang felt that being at mid-stage Nascent Soul, he truly couldn't bear the responsibilities of both the Demon Territory Lord and the East Sea Lord.

"Oh, it's all because of Xiao Ling and Lianyi's good intentions. The small matters of the Demon Territory and the East Sea, why don't you just accept them?" Fairy Eternity said with an easygoing tone.

"If you really don't dare to accept them, I can take them off your hands."

Obviously, Lu Yang didn't dare to accept, but there were others who did.

Lu Yang thought about it; Fairy Eternity, being the Master of the Heavenly Court and the founding emperor of the Fire Dynasty, now concurrently holding the titles of Demon Territory Lord and East Sea Lord, could be said to hold enormous authority, unmatched by anyone.

"Even if you do accept them, would you actually manage them?" Lu Yang remembered that during Ancient Times, Fairy Eternity didn't like managing, she only governed the North Star, which the Four Ancient Immortals had forced upon her.

Lu Yang suspected that giving the North Star to Fairy Eternity was probably just to keep her from wandering around everywhere, providing her with a stable home.

"What's so hard about managing? I can have Xiao Ling and Lianyi manage the East Sea and Demon Territory."

Although Fairy Eternity wasn't good at managing, she excelled in using people.

"Immortal Sister, can you let us see where you usually live?" Jiang Lianyi asked.

"Sure, sure." Fairy Eternity obviously agreed.

Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi projected a thread of Spiritual Sense, delving into Lu Yang's Spiritual Space.

"Come, come, come, now that you're here, make yourselves at home, have a seat." Fairy Eternity warmly entertained the two Semi-Immortals.

Fairy Eternity had long ago drained the water from the Spiritual Space, and now Lu Yang's Spiritual Space had returned to its original soft and tender appearance, with a bed lying sideways against the wall, along with tables, chairs, and other furniture.

Lu Yang silently watched all this, without a word.

Whose Spiritual Space was this, after all?

Having seated herself, Jiang Lianyi then remembered that her visit was not solely to greet Ao Ling.

"What exactly is going on with the celestial battle in the East Sea? Xiao Ling, who has targeted you?"

Ao Ling frowned and thought for a while, "Explaining this matter is rather complicated. If I tell you everything, you'll be in danger."

"So, I will only share the things I can tell you."

"After the initial battle between my husband and the murderer, you entered a Playing Dead state, while I helped my husband establish the Fire Dynasty..."

"Wait a second." Before Ao Ling had finished speaking, Jiang Lianyi interrupted her.

"Didn't we agree to use the Playing Dead Technique together back then?"

...

Imperial Palace of Great Xia.

Jiang Pingan, holding a hoe, finished his farming and sat on a small stool wiping sweat, looking up at the visitor.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, what brings you here?"

Yun Zhi took out a palm-sized red parcel from her sleeve, lifted the red cloth, revealing a delicately-made dragon-patterned bracelet.

Jiang Pingan was captivated by the design of the dragon-patterned bracelet, "Eh, what exquisite craftsmanship. Who made this?"

"It's an Immortal Artifact crafted by Yingtian Immortal, capable of withstanding several attacks from Immortals under full power."

"Wow, it really is an extraordinary item." An Immortal Artifact refined to such a degree was truly peak craftsmanship, "I see the inside of the bracelet is empty, do you want me to refill it with energy?"

"This is indeed my intention."

Jiang Pingan turned the dragon-patterned bracelet over in his hands, inspecting it twice, "Alright, then let me study it."

As he studied the bracelet, Jiang Pingan recalled the information he had just received, chatting idly.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, whom did you confront in the East Sea, one of the Four Ancient Immortals?"

Because Immortals possess the Forgetfulness trait, people can only remember that a celestial battle took place in the East Sea, but cannot recall the process of the clash between the two sides.

Yun Zhi shook her head, "She's an Immortal from ancient times, but not one of the Four Ancient Immortals."

"I shouldn't say too much about her origins. If you know too much, she'll kill you too."

"Oh, does Fellow Daoist Yun think I'm not a match for that Immortal?" Jiang Pingan let out a sound, his tone laced with faint pride.

As the founding emperor, Great Xia stood unyielding for a hundred thousand years, and his contributions were immense. This was not only due to his wise decisions but also because of his unfathomably high cultivation level.

Yun Zhi nodded, "Indeed, you can't beat her."

"Alright then, if I can't win, I can't win," Jiang Pingan resigned to reality like a wilted eggplant, hanging his head low.

When Yun Zhi returned to the Seek Dao Sect with the energy-filled dragon-etched bracelet, she found Lu Yang, Ao Ling, and Jiang Lianyi neatly lying on the ground.

Yun Zhi tapped Lu Yang's forehead, knocking everyone out of his Spiritual Space.

"Eldest Senior Sister, you're finally back," Lu Yang greeted Yun Zhi with immense relief, grateful to have a solid backbone. He alone struggled to deal with the two ancestors of the Dragon and Phoenix, not to mention the troublemaking Yellow Bean.

Just now in the Spiritual Space, they almost came to blows twice.

Yun Zhi handed the dragon-etched bracelet to Ao Ling, then turned to ask Jiang Lianyi.

"Elder Lianyi, are you here to see Elder Ao Ling?" she inquired.

Jiang Lianyi snorted coldly, "Who'd want to see her? I'm here for intelligence on the East Sea."

Yun Zhi simply uttered "Oh," and didn't say more.

Excitedly emerging from Lu Yang's body, Fairy Eternity began tallying up the numbers.

"Me, the Second-in-command, Xiao Ling, Lianyi, hmm, everyone's here!"

"Who's all here?" Lu Yang's brain couldn't quite make the connection.

"Of course, it's our team to challenge Miss Yun that's all here!"

Lu Yang: "..."

Wait, Fairy, can't you guys go get yourselves killed without dragging me into it?

Fairy Eternity, with a grand wave of her hand, though she had yet to return to her prime and match Miss Yun, now had the support of Ao Ling and Lianyi, and with the Second-in-command as their strategist, they were barely equipped for battle with Miss Yun.

Seeing this, Lu Yang quickly intercepted Fairy Eternity, who was about to make a grand gesture, "Stop, stop, stop, Fairy, calm down for a second."

"I am calm," Fairy Eternity said with bluster.

"No, no, no, think about it, Fairy. We, or rather, you guys aren't ready to fight Eldest Senior Sister yet. We're still missing someone."

"Missing someone? Who else?"

Lu Yang kindly reminded her, "The Third Boss, as a Semi-Immortal, he's an important force!"

Fairy Eternity slapped her forehead, "Oh right, I forgot about him."

The Sky Gate Mountain wasn't far from the street barbecue shop, allowing Fairy Eternity to take control of Immortal Eternity from afar.

Counting money at the barbecue shop, Immortal Eternity was suddenly inspired by Fairy Eternity; it was as if someone had grabbed the back of his clothes, causing his body to bend like a shrimp as he flew backward, arriving at Sky Gate Mountain.

Immortal Eternity, upon seeing the grand assembly at Sky Gate Mountain, was clearly stunned.

What's going on here?

"Greetings to the Boss and the Second-in-command. Boss, did you call for me?" Immortal Eternity carefully asked, a bad premonition creeping over him.

Fairy Eternity nodded, affirming, "I've decided to challenge Miss Yun today. I've already devised a strategy. As a member of the Immortal Lineage, you must contribute."

Being the Boss, she naturally had to be clear about rewards and punishment, "Here's a chance for you to distinguish yourself. Go and test Miss Yun's strength as the vanguard. If you can defeat Miss Yun, I'll let you take the position of Boss!"

"Ah?"
