Li Xiu put away the Jedi Knight and called Sha Chu to follow Mo Liu toward the gate of Longevity City.

Although Longevity City is called a city, it has no walls. Its best defense is this suspended mountain peak.

The so-called city gate isn't really a gate, but just a White Jade Arch.

The White Jade Arch towers tens of meters high, exuding grandeur. In bold, it displays the words "Longevity City," and the white jade pillars on either side bear a couplet inscription.

After Mo Liu led Sha Chu and Li Xiu through the archway, he said to Li Xiu, "You are a new member. You need to follow me to the Temple of Heaven to complete the initiation ceremony. Once you have your identity, you can be allocated a residence."

With that, Mo Liu turned to Sha Chu and said, "You are an existing member. You may go to your residence."

"Shouldn't she come with me and wait outside?" Li Xiu looked at Mo Liu and asked.

Mo Liu understood what Li Xiu was worried about and smiled, "Rest assured, I can guarantee that no one will touch her before you return."

Li Xiu frowned, trying to say something, but Sha Chu interjected, "The Mo Family is known for keeping their word. Don't worry about me. After you finish the ceremony, come find me at my residence."

Seeing Sha Chu say this, Li Xiu did not say more. After bidding farewell to Sha Chu, he followed Mo Liu to the Temple of Heaven.

The entire architecture within Longevity City was constructed from crystal-clear white jade, appearing extremely luxurious, as if not of the Mortal World.

The people coming and going varied in attire, but most were recognizable at a glance as trial takers—effectively, everyone visible here was a formidable Trial Taker.

Longevity City and the town below, Wansheng Town, were as different as Heaven and Hell—real life was no more truthful than this.

Li Xiu followed Mo Liu all the way to the Temple of Heaven and looked at the temple's center where the building resembled a towering white jade structure. He couldn't help but glance at Mo Liu who stopped walking.

"Due to your arrival at an unusual time, the Temple of Heaven is not yet open. Normally, it's closed and should be visited during the annual ceremony. However, instructions have asked for you to complete your ceremony alone, showing that you are highly valued by the authorities above. Cherish this opportunity," Mo Liu pointed at the central white jade tower and said, "I can only escort you to here; you'll need to complete the ceremony within the Longevity Hall yourself."

"Thank you." Li Xiu expressed his gratitude.

Earlier, he saw Mo Liu and Li Qingyi rushing to save him, knowing Mo Liu harbored no ill intentions toward him.

"It's polite of you, City Lord Li. Hosting the Magic Spirit Competition and informing the world of trial takers' existence, I deeply admire you, City Lord Li, notwithstanding that it's within my duties. City Lord Li, quickly proceed to the Longevity Hall to complete the ceremony. Eventually, we can interact more often. I'm Mo Liu, residing in the main Mo Family residence. Feel free to visit me anytime." Mo Liu said with a smile.

"Sure." Li Xiu acknowledged, heading towards the Longevity Hall that appeared as a white jade tower.

Li Xiu reached the large entrance of the Longevity Hall. The tightly closed jade door opened automatically before he could reach out to push it.

Li Xiu scrutinized for a moment, lifted his foot, and walked in. The door closed automatically behind him.

Outside the Temple of Heaven, Mo Liu did not leave, and soon Li Qingyi, Bai Ying, and Sun Gang arrived.

"What do you think, which group will he be assigned to?" Bai Ying asked looking at the Longevity Hall.

"I've served as Guiding Envoy for a few years and escorted many members before. Usually, some Commander would inform us upon arrival. But for this Li Xiu, no Commander gave me any notice, and I have no idea which Commander brought him in," Mo Liu said.

"Regardless of which Commander brought him in, it's like we found treasure. Just with the Jedi Knight, he can make a stand in Longevity City," Sun Gang said.

"It's really strange, how could the Jedi Knight evolve so fast," Bai Ying was still in disbelief that the Jedi Knight could contend with the Golden Phoenix Arrow.

"It's probable that the matter isn't so simple." Li Qingyi had seen Li Xiu's invitation card, which bore no Commander mark.

No Commander welcomed Li Xiu, implying that the invitation card might indeed have significant issues.

"What significant issue could it be? At most, he's a super member. There's no way he could suddenly become a Commander," Bai Ying said, pouting.

"A super member certainly matches his magic spirit," Sun Gang nodded.

Mo Liu then analyzed beside them, "Whether he can become a super member is uncertain. If it were a regular person, solely relying on the Jedi Knight, being a super member is certain. But don't forget, numerous people harbor resentment toward him over the Magic Spirit Competition, and among the six Commanders, a majority have no favorable impression of him and even take significant issue with the Magic Spirit Competition."

"Are you implying that a Commander might purposely lead him into the association?" Li Qingyi promptly grasped Mo Liu's meaning and frowned, "If that's the case, Li Xiu could indeed be in trouble."

"It's pointless for us to speculate here. We'll wait and see the result. Even if he's just a regular member, as long as he's within Longevity City, we can protect him," Mo Liu said.

While speaking, they couldn't help but all look towards the Longevity Hall, and then, wide-eyed, they saw something.

Atop the Longevity Hall, resembling a white jade tower, strange brilliance was blooming.

The source of this brilliance was a giant orb at the top of the hall, originally white, now radiating five-colored light, which seemed to color the entire Longevity City.

Many jade bells hung beneath the hall's eaves, rang along with the brilliance from the orb.

Dong!

The crisp sound of the jade bell spread throughout Longevity City, causing many people to express confusion and walk out their doors to look towards the Longevity Hall.
