Li Hong looked at Xuan Xuzi and said slowly, "It is indeed the case; if the sect leader does not believe me, there is nothing I can do."
In fact, the severe consequences brought by the False Immortal Realm were only discovered by Li Hong and others after they returned to the Mortal Realm. Initially, Li Hong blamed himself, thinking he had caused such serious repercussions, but Fuxi and others insisted it was not his fault. They explained that it was due to the Spirit Scheme formation extracting too much Spiritual Energy from Middle-Earth over the years. Especially during the final battle, the Shin Yao extracted a significant amount of Spiritual Energy to recover their vitality, resulting in the last remnants of Spiritual Energy in Middle-Earth being completely depleted.
For tens of thousands of years, the Spiritual Energy of Middle-Earth had been drawn upon to sustain the operation of the False Immortal Realm, and it had long been insufficient. In the critical moment, the Shin Yao's actions were akin to pulling out the foundation from under a pot, leading to dire consequences. To put it simply, Middle-Earth now resembled a barren mountain stripped of trees; it would take many years for new saplings to grow into large trees again, meaning it would take an indefinite amount of time for Spiritual Energy to gradually regenerate and restore its previous concentration. In the meantime, the extreme scarcity of Spiritual Energy had already caused a series of severe consequences: there were no suitable candidates for cultivation; caves were collapsing; existing cultivators would find their powers stagnated due to lack of Spiritual Energy; many contemporary cultivators faced regression or even death due to their powers dissipating.
After all, Spiritual Energy is the foundation of existence in the cultivation world. Without it, everything collapses. The cultivation world in Middle-Earth could not afford to wait for the day when Spiritual Energy would recover because by that time, the entire cultivation world would no longer exist.
Li Hong explained in detail, and Xuan Xuzi grew increasingly shocked as he listened. His hands clenched tighter until his fists cracked with sound. The reality was too horrifying; it had overturned all his previous understanding.
It should be noted that ascending to the Immortal Realm had been the lifelong goal of all cultivators in Middle-Earth's Cultivation World. However, heaven played a cruel joke on them; ascending to the Immortal Realm was actually a path to death, a journey into captivity, or a means to become food for others!
Xuan Xuzi could not recover from this immense blow and stared blankly with wide eyes.
Golden Mother glanced at him sideways and coldly huffed, "We went through great hardships to escape that damned place, thanks to Li Hong! If you don't believe him, that's one thing; but how can you not believe me?"
The more Xuan Xuzi thought about it, the colder sweat dripped down his back. He lowered his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe; it's just too incredible. My mind is in chaos."
Golden Mother had lost her cultivation but still possessed experience. She carefully examined Xuan Xuzi's face and saw that his expression did not seem feigned; he was genuinely shocked. She then said coldly, "Kunlun Heaven is something I invested great effort into arranging. Do you think I would willingly abandon it? But now we have no choice but to leave. Kunlun, like all caves, relies on abundant Spiritual Energy for maintenance. Without it, Kunlun Heaven will soon resemble Mortal Realm—everything will eventually vanish after many years. Therefore, we must withdraw. As for how we withdraw and where we go, it's time for you as sect leader to take action."
Li Hong felt overjoyed upon hearing this last sentence; he thought Golden Mother was indeed sharp-minded as this was exactly what he intended. Xuan Xuzi had been the Sect Master of Kunlun for many years and held great respect among peers; with him rallying everyone together, relocating the entire cultivation world of Middle-Earth would not be so difficult.
Seeing Li Hong's eager gaze, Xuan Xuzi understood but felt overwhelmed by how shocking and significant this matter was. He still lacked confidence in persuading the entire Immortal Sect to relocate but knew he could not defy Golden Mother’s words. After some thought, he sighed and said, "Though leaving our homeland is difficult, at this point we have no choice but to do so. However, I am concerned about how we will move. Are we really going to relocate to that wild land of Western Bull Hezhou? Is there enough Spiritual Energy there?"
Upon hearing this question, everyone turned their gaze toward Li Hong.
Li Hong smiled slightly and replied loudly, "This world is incredibly vast—far beyond our imagination! There are heavens beyond heavens and realms beyond realms; we need not limit our sights solely on one Middle-Earth Star! We don’t need to consider Western Bull Hezhou at all!"
Xuan Xuzi listened in confusion and moved his lips as if about to ask something when Li Hong noticed him and nodded vigorously while saying loudly, "That's right! It’s not just Middle-Earth; it's Middle-Earth Star! I call our home Middle-Earth Star! You all have been to Azure Void; if you observe closely, you'll realize that where we live is actually a massive sphere. In the vast universe outside us, there are countless large planets like our Middle-Earth Star! We can find a suitable planet for us to inhabit and rebuild our cultivation world!"
"Great! I have decided to lead our fifty-seven thousand commoners from False Immortal Realm over there to rebuild a true home that belongs to us!" Xuan Yuan declared loudly.
Five hundred seventy thousand ordinary people crossed the Azure Void to migrate to another planet! Five hundred seventy thousand! Xuan Xuzi was shocked beyond words at what he heard, yet no one present found Xuan Yuan's words absurd; instead, they all voiced their approval loudly. Xuan Xuzi immediately understood that these people had already devised a preliminary plan for relocation; they had called upon him simply because they did not want the Middle-Earth and Cultivation World to lose their connection and hoped to persuade the Nine Major Sects to move together.
Xuan Xuzi was correct in his thoughts; Li Hong meant exactly that. Seeing the contemplative expression on Xuan Xuzi's face, Li Hong knew that Xuan Xuzi had grasped the purpose and method of this approach. Kunlun would be the first to relocate, while for other sects, Emei had Pure Yang Patriarch present, so it would not be difficult; Xuanyuan Shennong was originally the Ancestor of Zhao Zhen Sect, so that was also straightforward; Nine Li Sect and Beast Cultivation Sect would undoubtedly follow suit; New Luo Sect's leader Yuan Zhenzi was in seclusion, and now all matters were entrusted to his sworn sister Green Lotus, which made it manageable; only Azure Sky Palace, Xuanwei, Penglai, and Kongtong would require some effort, but it should not be too challenging for Xuan Xuzi.
With this plan set, Li Hong waved his hand and smiled at Xuan Xuzi, saying, "This matter will trouble you, esteemed Sect Master!"
Before Xuan Xuzi could refuse, Li Hong bowed deeply and then turned decisively to Ling Yanzi, saying, "The matter with the Demon Sect is now your responsibility."
Ling Yanzi nodded. "I will set off immediately. When I return, I will bring them all along. Since the Immortal Sect is moving entirely, the Demon Sect must not remain! Otherwise, it will become a disaster sooner or later."
This had been privately discussed between Li Hong and Yinzi long ago. The Demon Sect was different from the Immortal Sect; it only required external assistance during the foundation establishment stage. For instance, new disciples of the Demon Sect were best helped by Old Demon to open their meridians. However, after establishing their foundation, they did not cultivate spiritual power but focused on Soul Power. This meant that even if Middle-Earth Star lost its Spiritual Energy, these remnants of the Demon Sect would only grow stronger; thus, they absolutely could not be left behind!
Fortunately, Ling Yanzi was present. The plan was simple: Ling Yanzi would bring all remnants of the Demon Sect along and then relocate them together. Once settled on another planet, Ling Yanzi would teach them different techniques, leading to the complete dissolution of the Demon Sect—there would no longer be any mention of the Demon Sect.
For Xuanyuan Shennong and others, this was one thing; however, for Xuan Xuzi, it struck a deep chord. Hearing that the Demon Sect he had fought against for tens of thousands of years would cease to exist brought tears streaming down his face as he trembled with emotion.
In just one hour, Xuan Xuzi endured various mental shocks; if it weren't for his firm resolve, he might have fallen into madness!
After the meeting dispersed, Xuan Xuzi was the first to take his leave. He could hardly wait to return to Kunlun and begin arranging this migration that would shake the entire Cultivation World and even alter Middle-Earth's history.
Ling Yanzi was second to leave, accompanied by Aurora. Before departing, Li Hong transmitted Kunlun's technique of co-cultivation with divine beasts to Ling Yanzi so that at critical moments Ling Yanzi could draw upon Aurora's cultivation level. With such a combination, Li Hong secretly laughed; whoever faced them would surely suffer!
They also had a secret mission specifically assigned by Li Hong: to bring along the traitor Elder Yao Guo Wanli. At that time… Li Hong pondered as a cold and bloodthirsty light flickered in his eyes for the first time in a long while.
One transmission talisman after another was sent out. Du Yizi, the leader of Nine Li Sect's outer sect Beast Cultivation Sect, received the first talisman. Simultaneously, Shooting Jade Fairy from Qingqiu Mountain and Jiang Xuanzi from Jingwei Clan received urgent talismans as well as Green Lotus from New Luo Sect acting as acting leader. Upon hearing the content, everyone was both surprised and delighted and immediately set off towards Southern Wilderness at Nine Li Sect's main gate.
As they were all allies, there was no need for lengthy explanations; they quickly approved of the grand retreat plan.
That night, everyone gathered for a banquet on the ninth-level platform.
The moon shone brightly amidst sparse stars with a cool breeze blowing through. The sound of waves crashing against rocks echoed from below while distant calls of Celestial Birds occasionally rang out from Fusang Immortal Wood. As cups clinked together in Central Capital among familiar faces filled with warmth and camaraderie, Li Hong watched this scene unfold before him knowing he would remember it forever.
He stood up and raised his hands, signaling everyone that he wanted to speak. The platform quickly fell silent, and all eyes were on him.
Li Hong took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Elders and brothers, I have made my decision. I will be the first to step onto the outer realm's Teleportation Array! In one hour, I will leave Middle-Earth and step onto the Star Sect's Teleportation Array to pave the way for everyone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar among the crowd. A piercing female voice rang out loudly, "Absolutely not! If you go, you must take me with you; otherwise, I will die right in front of you!"
The crowd fell silent, turning to look at the speaker.
A fiery figure flashed, and Yan Luo stood in front of Li Hong. Under the moonlight, her face was filled with emotion and anger, her bright eyes appearing even larger. She exclaimed angrily, "You are not allowed to leave me!" Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed Li Hong's hand, showing no intention of letting go.
In front of all the heroes, Li Hong felt truly embarrassed. Surprisingly, Chuxuan smiled slightly and actually voiced her approval: "It seems that Senior Brother has made up his mind. In that case, someone needs to take care of daily life along the way; women are always more attentive than men." Saying this, Chuxuan bowed deeply to Yan Luo: "Then I will trouble Sister Yan Luo."
Chuxuan actually referred to Yan Luo as "Sister Yan Luo"! And she seemed very supportive! Li Hong stared at Chuxuan, speechless, even forgetting to pull his hand away from Yan Luo's grip.
Yan Luo's cheeks flushed slightly as she cast a grateful glance at Chuxuan. Chuxuan nodded in response, looking as if it were only natural.
Li Hong felt a stir in his heart, sensing that something seemed off.
