Li Xiu walked into the Longevity Hall and found the hall rather strange.

Places like the Temple of Heaven are mostly built for prayer and sacrifices, generally enshrining divine statues.

But there were no divine statues in the Longevity Hall. The large palace, besides the various eerie monster carvings on the jade pillars and jade wall, had a large jade furnace at its center.

Within the jade furnace, the light flickered, sometimes bright, making the jade furnace appear crystal clear, almost transparent.

When it dimmed, the jade furnace seemed ordinary, no different from the jade of the Jade Hall.

Carved on the jade furnace were some patterns, not the monsters on the pillars and walls, but images like clouds and lightning.

As Li Xiu was studying the jade furnace, he suddenly heard a voice: "Take out your invitation card."

Surprised, Li Xiu realized the voice came from within the jade furnace. He looked at the furnace while taking out the black invitation card: "Where should I place this invitation card?"

The voice inside the jade furnace did not answer his question. After a moment, it sounded mildly surprised: "So it's this card. What's your name?"

"My name is Li Xiu. Is there something special about this card?" Li Xiu asked.

Based on the tone of the jade furnace's voice, there seemed to be indeed a problem with this card.

"Do you not know the meaning of this invitation card?" the voice inside the jade furnace asked, a bit surprised.

"No, the person who gave it to me didn't tell me if it had any special significance. Can you tell me?" Li Xiu asked, looking at the card in his hand.

The voice inside the jade furnace said, "There are three types of invitation cards for Longevity Heaven. A red invitation card represents ordinary membership invitations, and a black invitation card represents super membership invitations. Although the card in your hand is also black, it is not a super membership invitation card but a Commander invitation card."

"Commander invitation card?" Li Xiu was slightly surprised.

He didn't find it particularly strange to become a Commander, but why would the Red Sand City Lord give him such a card?

He had almost no interactions with the Red Sand City Lord and had even killed the City Lord's brother-in-law. If the Red Sand City Lord truly was the president of Longevity Heaven, how could he let Li Xiu be the Commander of Longevity Heaven?

"Touch the invitation card. There are no marks on it. Only Commander invitation cards have no marks because you need to mark them yourself. The future Commander, as the issuer, only you can decide what the mark on your card will be," the voice inside the jade furnace continued. "There are seven Commander invitation cards in total. The previous six already had owners a long time ago. The successor can only inherit the Commander invitation card from the previous Commander, with no way to change the mark. The only unused Commander invitation card is this one in your possession, so this is the only opportunity to mark the invitation card."

"Kid, you look quite young, so why would the old guy let you be a Commander? What's special about you?" the voice inside the jade furnace asked.

"I don't seem to have anything special." Li Xiu thought for a moment and said.

"There must be something special. The old guy is very shrewd. He wouldn't let an ordinary person be a Commander, especially as this unprecedented seventh group Commander." The voice in the jade furnace paused, then asked, "What's your Super Spirit Limit?"

"I'm just a C-level Trial Taker, still far from the Super Spirit Rank." Li Xiu replied.

"A C-level Trial Taker? Are you sure?" The voice inside the jade furnace seemed incredibly surprised: "Impossible. How could the old guy let a C-level Trial Taker become a Commander? Has he gone crazy? Or is he so old that he's confused?"

"How could I get my level wrong?" Li Xiu asked, looking at the jade furnace. "Is it so strange for a C-level Trial Taker to be a Commander?"

"It's not just strange; it's unprecedented. A C-level Trial Taker, not to mention being a Commander, wouldn't even qualify as a super member without a special identity," the voice inside the jade furnace continued. "Could it be that your identity is special, perhaps a leader of a major power?"

"I'm the City Lord of the City of Light. Does that count as a special identity?" Li Xiu laughed.

"City of Light? What place is that? Has the outside world's structure changed significantly again?" The voice inside the jade furnace seemed very puzzled.

Li Xiu explained the origin of his City of Light, and the voice inside the jade furnace sneered after hearing it: "What sort of special identity is that? Not to mention your insignificant City of Light, but even the master of the entire Southern Cross Federation doesn't qualify to be a Commander of Longevity Heaven. At most, they could be a super member."

"Then I don't know what special identity I have." Li Xiu spread his hands and said, though he secretly wondered, "Could it be that the Red Sand City Lord has discovered my identity as God? Otherwise, why would he want me to be a Commander in Longevity Heaven?"

"It's really strange," the voice inside the jade furnace pondered for a long while before saying. "In any case, let's complete the ceremony first. You can come up with a name for your group. That name will be your mark, and from now on, the invitation cards you use to recruit group members will have this name's mark."

"A name? Let's call it the Longevity Group." Li Xiu replied casually.
