Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 2578: Chapter 839: Does This Yangming True Monarch Have Certain Peculiarities?

Lu Changsheng said calmly, without personally imposing prohibitions on the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master.

First, if he were to impose prohibitions, it would easily make the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master overly concerned and resistant.

Second, he had not spent time and effort cultivating the ”Myriad Calamities Poison Spirit Secret Scripture,” which had limited restrictions on Nascent Soul level cultivators.

Moreover, he was often absent from the Jin Kingdom, making it difficult to control the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master.

It would be better to have Ayoudo impose the prohibition, thereby creating intimidation and control.

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master, upon hearing this, immediately looked wary and very unwilling.

After all, once a prohibition is imposed, one becomes uncontrollably constrained by others.

Ayoudo, however, was somewhat surprised and astonished.

She didn’t expect the master to trust her so much, actually entrusting her with such an important task.

The two exchanged glances, while Lu Changsheng remained calm and indifferent.

”Hierarch, please proceed.”

As a Sect Master and Nascent Soul True Lord, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master still possessed a remarkable decisiveness far beyond ordinary people.

Knowing he had no choice now, as the Yangming True Monarch had already given him face, he decided to act decisively.

He withdrew his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, the ”Heavenly Corpse Bead,” allowing Ayoudo to impose her prohibition methods.

However, he had already made up his mind.

As long as Ayoudo’s prohibition endangered his Nascent Soul Spirit Body, he would choose to fight to the end!

”I still trust Fellow Daoist Yan.”

Ayoudo looked at Lu Changsheng beside her, dressed in a mysterious robe and exuding a heroic demeanor, understanding that the master was helping her by taking on the stern role while she played the amiable part.

He used his strength to intimidate.

She used her early friendship and gentle strategy to win over and subdue.

Immediately, Ayoudo flicked her finger on the ”Gu God Bowl.”

”Buzz!”

With an inaudible hum, ripples spread out.

A tiny, translucent, dark-purple glimmering Gu insect, no larger than a fingernail and etched with mysterious patterns, flew out of the bowl.

”The effect of this ’Heart-Eroding Gu,’ I’m sure Fellow Daoist Yan is aware,”

Ayoudo said while looking at the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master.

”Heart erosion and soul-breaking, this sect naturally understands.”

The Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Five Poisons Cult being part of the Three Great Demon Sects of the Jin Kingdom, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master was quite familiar with the various Gu insect methods of the Five Poisons Cult.

As soon as he finished speaking, he tore open his robe at the chest.

Then, flipping his hand, his fingernails sharp as blades and shimmering with a black sheen, he tore open his chest, causing blood to splatter.

Immediately, he pinched the flying ”Heart-Eroding Gu.”

Before the Gu insect could burrow into his body willingly, he directly embedded the Gu into the flesh of his heart.

Heart erosion and soul-breaking!

The Heart-Eroding Gu screeched once and lodged itself firmly in his heart.

From now on, with just a thought, Ayoudo could shatter his heart and take his life.

Of course, the final resort of a Nascent Soul True Lord, the Nascent Soul Spirit Body, would remain unaffected.

”Hierarch, is this sufficient?”

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master withdrew his blood-stained hand from his chest, looking at Ayoudo and Lu Changsheng, and spoke in a deep voice.

With Ayoudo’s transmitted explanation, Lu Changsheng understood the effect of the Heart-Eroding Gu before him and deemed it already sufficient.

After all, the Nascent Soul escaping the body is a desperate measure employed only when absolutely necessary by a cultivator.

Under normal circumstances, few Nascent Soul Cultivators are willing to abandon their physical body and Magic Body to let their Nascent Soul escape and flee.

Excessiveness in anything proves detrimental.

The fact that the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master could go this far was already sufficient; there was no need to push him entirely against the wall.

”Naturally, from now on, our two sects will work together and integrate the Jin Kingdom to serve the master,”

Ayoudo said with a friendly smile on her jade-like face.

Lu Changsheng was mostly absent from the Jin Kingdom.

Now that the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master was under her control,

from this moment on, she was the spokesperson of the entire cultivation world of the Jin Kingdom, the Crownless King, the visible master!

At this moment, she felt that her gamble and choice from years ago had been incredibly correct!

”Yan Wujang, at your service, Master!”

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master no longer held himself aloof and bowed before Lu Changsheng.

At first, he held some pride when facing Lu Changsheng.

But now, upon reconsidering, the other was a great power’s reincarnation, a mid-stage Nascent Soul giant.

With even Ayoudo having submitted, and Ming Sha True Monarch having been slain, his choice to obey and submit was not hard to accept.

Yet, being inexplicably superseded by Ayoudo left him a bit discontent.

After all, in terms of strength and sect heritage, his Heavenly Corpse Sect was no lesser than the Five Poisons Cult.

”Fellow Daoist Yan, no need for formalities. Since everything has been discussed, let’s head over together to the Yiming Ghost Sect for a chat.”

”Coincidentally, there are many resources and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures here that I need to handle,”

Lu Changsheng said courteously.

He intended to hand over some of the Yiming Ghost Sect’s assets for Ayoudo and the Heavenly Corpse Sect to manage, in exchange for the resources he needed.

”Yes,” the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master and Ayoudo replied.

Then the three of them headed towards the Yiming Ghost Sect together.

Moments later, upon seeing the golden Heavenly Peng perched on the Yiming Ghost Sect, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master’s pitch-black pupils contracted.

Once, when this Peng bird was still at the Third Rank, it could withstand a round against his Fourth Rank Corpse King effortlessly.

Now that it had broken through to the Fourth Rank, its combat prowess likely far exceeded that of ordinary Fourth Rank Corpse Kings and Ghost Kings, enough to rival himself.

The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng had memories of the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master.

It remembered having clashed with its master’s old opponent years ago.

Back then, under the opponent’s Corpse King’s hand, it had suffered significant injuries and required extensive recuperation.

Instantly, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng’s vertical pupils, like a golden scorching sun, glared coldly at the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master, as if ready to strike.

”Golden Peng.”

Lu Changsheng, seeing the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng’s imposing demeanor, as if about to act, gestured to calm it, then led the two into the Yiming Ghost Sect.
