The two ordered a pot of spirit wine and a few dishes of spiritual food, sitting by the window, enjoying both the delicacies and the bustling street scenery.

Fu Chao took a sip of the spirit wine and sighed with satisfaction, "This 'Drunken Immortal Tower's spirit wine lives up to its reputation! We sure made the right choice coming here."

"Indeed, it's quite good."

Li Yunjing smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and sipped lightly, saying with a laugh, "It's definitely not worse than the 'Immortal Drunk' at 'East Splendor Tower'!"

Li Yunjing, who had tasted fine wines before, instantly recognized its extraordinary quality with just one sip.

"When we leave, I'll buy a few pots to carry with me, savor them slowly later!"

Li Yunjing added finally.

This was the first time he ever thought about stockpiling a type of spirit wine!

"Great! You buy then! You've got the money! When I'm thirsty, I'll just ask you for a drink!"

Fu Chao's eyes brightened, teasing with a laugh.

Anyway, he figured out that Li Yunjing had really hit it big.

Who knows what rich benefits he obtained at the East Sea!

Ever since returning to the Shenxiao Dao Sect, he carried himself in a wealthy, imposing manner!

As Li Yunjing's good brother, when else should he help Old Li spend some money if not now?

"No problem! Between you and me, why bother with such words?"

Li Yunjing chuckled indifferently.

Between friends, mere drinks are trivial!

Li Yunjing was always generous, never depriving his brothers and friends!

While the two were happily chatting, a sudden commotion arose outside the tavern.

Li Yunjing and Fu Chao looked downstairs, only to see a team of cultivators in black rushing by, their expressions solemn, seemingly on an urgent mission.

"These people must be the Sect's Law Enforcement Team, right? Judging by their looks, something must've happened?"

Fu Chao furrowed his brows, glanced around, then lowered his voice.

"Should be some minor issues!"

Li Yunjing nodded and said casually.

Yet in Li Yunjing's eyes, a trace of gravity flashed.

"Don't worry about it! If something major had really occurred, it would've caused a huge stir already! Probably just minor issues!"

Fu Chao couldn't make out anything as well, so he simply chose not to think much, continuing to eat and drink.

Watching Fu Chao's carefree demeanor, Li Yunjing grinned, this guy sure is free-spirited!

At times, Li Yunjing even envied Fu Chao and Ma Xingyuan's relaxed ways.

He had heavy concerns — his cultivation, the future paths for his women, the innovation of Seven Star Palace, the development of the Purple Cloud Faction, the fate of the Shenxiao Dao Sect...

In short, even Li Yunjing sometimes felt that being an immortal cultivator was quite exhausting!

However, in this world, where is the good fortune of enjoying without contribution?

If he doesn't develop influence, Li Yunjing wouldn't be able to sit in the Sect Leader Venerable position of Shenxiao Dao Sect!

If he doesn't accelerate cultivation, when life and death are at stake, he cannot afford to be careless!

Li Yunjing wished to be the Immortal Dao Venerable and aspire towards immortality!

Thus, naturally, he had to contribute much more than anyone else.

For cultivators like Fu Chao, his highest expectations could probably reach only the Nascent Soul Realm.

If Fu Chao were to claim he wanted to become Immortal, he'd probably not believe his own words.

That's reality!

Not everyone is as outstanding as Li Yunjing, capable of dreaming of ascending to the Immortal Realm one day.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the vast majority of cultivators stop at the Qi Refining Realm, unable to even reach Foundation Establishment; while only a fraction of a percent manage to luckily enter Foundation Establishment Realm.

As for Core Formation?

Among tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, perhaps two or three Golden Core Realm cultivators might emerge!

Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators are beyond rare, akin to myths!

With a two-thousand-year lifespan, unmatched combat power, their entire life akin to a legendary history!

That's the supreme pursuit for countless cultivators!

As for Divinity Transformation Realm?

For ordinary Loose Cultivators, small clans, and small sects, they might not even know there's a realm above Nascent Soul Realm called 'Divinity Transformation'!

It's imaginable how unfamiliar a term that is!

That's cultivation!

Each step has its hurdle!

Many even fall into despair, resigning from the start, lacking hope to reach the Nascent Soul Realm!

Only someone like Li Yunjing can begin his cultivation early on, simultaneously pursuing five vice positions, running his own business, founding his own faction, vying for power within the Shenxiao Dao Sect without hindering his cultivation speed.

A genius like him was long familiar to all notable figures in the Shenxiao Dao Sect.

Many, whom Li Yunjing had never met before, had detailed intel on him!

The future leader of Shenxiao Dao Sect was almost certain.

Even Ming Lingchuan silently awaited the day Li Yunjing would break through to the Golden Core Realm!

Li Yunjing could hardly imagine the extent of expectation the sect's high ranks had for him!

It was inevitable! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Though established for hundreds of thousands of years, Shenxiao Dao Sect has never had a break in lineage, even during ups and downs.

The sect has a historical record!

A record for Shenxiao Dao Sect!

Over hundreds of thousands of years, Shenxiao Dao Sect wasn't without unparalleled talents, sweeping the world, eventually ascending to the Upper Realm!

Their deeds lingered in the hearts of the sect's elite, and in comparison, Li Yunjing, in early development, far exceeded any who ascended before!

Throughout the Southern Heaven Continent, from any sect, any ascender seemingly lacks the combat power Li Yunjing holds in his early forties!

Here the discussion is about combat power!

Not about realm!

In terms of realm, the speed at which Foundation Establishment Realm Eighth Heaven is achieved is extraordinary throughout history, albeit not first, nor even top three!
