Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 785: Do You Have the Guts? (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

There were many Dao Sects in the world, but there were only more than 30 that could be considered long-standing. Every one of them that could last for more than 10,000 years had an Earth Immortal guarding it. For example, because the Earth Immortal of Ling Yin Temple had passed away a thousand years ago, they could only seek the support of the Emei Dao Sect in the face of the imperial court’s suppression. It was considered an unworthy Dao Sect.

Now that an Earth Immortal had appeared in Changling Temple, it meant that Changling Temple, which had an ordinary foundation, could be ranked among the true Dao sects in the world. Even if there had only been a Perfected Person in the thousands of years of the Changling Temple and not even a Perfected Lord had been born, it did not stop their status from rising rapidly.

This was the might of an Earth Immortal.

The Temple Master of Changling’s suggestion was actually based on this consideration. Once Shen Ping returned to Mount Daliang, with him presiding over it, Changling Temple would be able to escape the current crisis in a short period of time.

The six ancestral masters remained silent. It was not that they could not make up their minds, but they did not know the current attitude of this disciple Changling Temple. After all, Ling Zhen had been in the Daoist temple for too short a time.

Fortunately, the other party still admitted that he was a disciple of Changling Temple. Otherwise, they would not even have the chance to build a relationship with him.

Ling Wu, who had a good relationship with Ling Zhen, opened his mouth and said, “In my opinion, we should not recall Ling Zhen now but move the Daoist lineage to the nameless mountain in Shuzhou.”

The Temple Master of Changling frowned and berated, “Ling Wu, what nonsense are you spouting? Mount Daliang is the foundation of my Changling Dao Sect. The blessed land is here, so how can we give up this place?”

The six ancestral masters looked at each other and did not refute. In fact, they had considered this the moment they learned that Ling Zhen had broken through to the Earth Immortal Realm. No matter what, the Dao lineage respected the strong. At a certain level, seniority could not be restrained.

But Changling Temple had been passed down in Mount Daliang for so long. It was not something that could be given up with just a few words. More importantly, Mount Daliang was close to the territory of Ling Yin Temple, which meant that they had someone to rely on. Even if Ling Yin Temple could not protect themselves now, in the long run, Mount Daliang was still the best.

“I’ll tell you what. Ling De, Ling Wu, the two of you will make a trip to Shuzhou and ask for the opinion of Earth Immortal Ling Zhen and see what he thinks.” The Ancestral Master said.

If it was before, they would definitely not dare to let go of the envelopment of the blessed land and let these two remaining disciples leave Mount Daliang. However, it was different now. With an Earth Immortal, the other Dao factions and even the demons and ghosts with power did not dare to rashly attack.

“Yes, Ancestral Master.”

Before they left, the Ancestral Master then specially instructed, “You must find out if Earth Immortal Ling Zhen is willing to consider himself as a descendant of Changling.”

Just as the Temple Master of Changling and Ling Wu were rushing to Shuzhou, Shen Ping released a message through the demon faction, Tiandang Mountain. That was to let Mount Futu release the imprisoned Ghost Concubine.

When the news spread, Tianshan, Kunlun, Taishan, Longhu, and other famous mountains and rivers focused their attention on Mount Futu. It had to be known that Mount Futu was a powerful force that gathered demons and ghosts. There was a Ghost Immortal guarding it.

Apart from Tianshan, Kunlun, Emei, and a few other Dao sects, Mount Futu would not give any face to the other Dao sects. Therefore, these Dao sects were looking at Shen Ping, a new Earth Immortal, as a joke. After all, it was unwise for him to challenge Mount Futu right away.

Yunjiang.

Dragon Palace.

Today was the Dragon God’s daughter’s transformation banquet. The flood dragons and the conferred Dragon God from all over the world were gathered. As they chatted, they began to talk about the grudge between Earth Immortal Ling Zhen and Mount Futu.

“I didn’t expect the number one ghost concubine under Ghost King Tuoluo to give the Blood Taisui to a Daoist. It’s really ridiculous.”

“How is this ridiculous? That Ghost Concubine was from a scholarly family when she was alive. Isn’t it normal for her to admire scholars? If you want to blame someone, blame the Ghost King Tuoluo for trusting her too much.” “Do you think Mount Futu will let Ghost Concubine go? Now that the Blood Taisui has been confirmed to be gone, there’s no reason for Mount Futu to continue detaining her.”

“That’s right. Originally, Ghost King Tuoluo blamed Ghost Concubine for the Blood Taisui, so he didn’t interfere in her matters. Now that the Blood Taisui is gone, Ghost King Tuoluo’s anger has mostly dissipated. Perhaps he will take this opportunity to personally visit.”

“Whether Mount Futu lets her go or not, it has nothing to do with Earth Immortal Ling Zhen. He has just broken through to the Earth Immortal Realm. How much reputation can he have? If not for the current situation, the other Daoist sects would not have roped him in like this.”

“Based on Mount Futu’s usual behavior, he definitely won’t let it go. It all depends on how Earth Immortal Ling Zhen deals with it. If he knows what’s good for him, he’ll let it go. If he doesn’t, there’ll be a good show to watch.”

These Dragon Gods and Flood Dragons did not think highly of Earth Immortal Ling Zhen. On the other hand, the Dragon God of Yunjiang felt that Ling Zhen must have extraordinary methods to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm so quickly.

Mount Futu.

The Netherworld Yin Grounds, where the Rebirth Hall was located.

Inside the Anti-Magic House, Ghost King Youyue sat in front of Ghost Concubine Xi Lengyan and kept sizing her up. “I really didn’t expect you to have such a unique vision. No wonder you refused to tell me the whereabouts of the Blood Taisui. It turned out that you had thought of it yourself. Tell me, how did you meet Ling Zhen of Changling Temple? Did you do that kind of thing?”

Xi Lengyan’s heart tightened, but she said calmly, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Ghost King Youyue laughed. “Alright, stop pretending. You gave the Blood Taisui to this Ling Zhen. This news has already spread to everyone. Moreover, this little fellow is still considerate. He actually informed my Mount Futu to release you. He’s really brave. It’s not in vain for you to riskyour life for him.”
