The Undying Immortal System

For several days after meeting those young men, my life with LiTing alone in the forest continued as normal, and we cultivated our souls while discussing philosophy. Unfortunately, the peace and tranquility of our seclusion was broken when an alarm formation alerted me to the presence of a large group approaching our location.

I went outside to investigate and saw seven people, four men and three women, standing a couple of meters outside the palisade surrounding our cottages.

While remaining well within the protections of our defensive formations, I walked to the opening in the wall to see what this was about.

I recognized three of the men in this group as the three I had tried to teach about soul cultivation. Before I could say anything or ask any questions, all seven gave me a deep bow. As they did, the man who had taken the lead in speaking to me last time assumed the role of the group’s spokesman.

“Please guide us, Teacher.”

My upper lip twitched. What had I gotten myself into?

Yes, I should have expected this, and I did, to a minor extent, but now that the results of my meddling had presented themselves before me, I felt I might have made a huge mistake.

Channeling Emperor Li’s stoic demeanor, I did my best to remain composed. I needed to understand exactly what was going on.

“Who are these others?”
