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

Chapter 2581: Chapter 839: Does This Yangming True Monarch Have Certain Eccentricities?

So I, the old ancestor, can only continue to handle matters personally.

”In that case, give the Heavenly Corpse Sect a concubine spot.”

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment and then spoke.

It is better to have fewer yet more skilled consorts.

If there are too many maids, their quality would inevitably be ordinary.

If a concubine spot is promised, the Heavenly Corpse Sect would surely cherish it greatly.

”Do not worry, Master, leave this matter to me.”

Ayoudo immediately agreed, intending to convey this to the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master.

”Alright.” Lu Changsheng nodded, letting Ayoudo be the good guy.

After Ayoudo’s departure, Lu Changsheng sighed softly, feeling the journey he had undertaken was indeed arduous.

...

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master left the Yiming Ghost Sect with several cultivators.

These people were spies his Heavenly Corpse Sect had planted in the Yiming Ghost Sect.

After all, all factions have spies placed within each other.

Not only does the Yiming Ghost Sect have spies from both his Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Five Poisons Cult,

but his Heavenly Corpse Sect also has spies from the Yiming Ghost Sect and the Five Poisons Cult.

Lu Changsheng naturally knew about these matters.

Thus, he was very considerate, directly stating that he and Ayoudo could take their sect’s people away.

They would even turn a blind eye if they used this opportunity to bring away acquaintances.

”Fellow Daoist Yan, please wait.”

At this moment, the Five Poisons Cult Leader, dressed in a purplish-red robe and wearing a silver crown hairpin, rushed over and called out to him.

”What does the Cult Leader wish to discuss?”

Despite having Ayoudo’s prohibition on him, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master did not show any inferiority, speaking with an indifferent expression.

After all, for a Nascent Soul True Lord, reputation is highly valued.

Or rather, it’s not just about face, but also about prestige!

If the Heavenly Corpse Sect’s cultivators learned that their ancestor bowed to others and was even under the Five Poisons Cult Leader’s prohibition, their prestige would be greatly affected.

The entire sect would be in panic, wanting to pledge allegiance to other forces.

Moreover, with Lu Changsheng and Ayoudo playing good cop and bad cop, how could he not see through it?

If Ayoudo hadn’t brought him to the Yiming Ghost Sect, he wouldn’t have encountered Yangming True Monarch and ended up in such a predicament.

Although it was difficult for him to avoid this calamity at the Heavenly Corpse Sect, at least there, he wouldn’t be so passive!

”I have some good news for Fellow Daoist Yan.”

Ayoudo immediately transmitted a message to Yan Wujang, expressing her understanding of today’s actions and the resulting resentment.

She felt apologetic for this, so she secured a concubine spot from the master.

The Heavenly Corpse Sect could select a female cultivator to become Yangming True Monarch’s concubine.

”A concubine!”

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master was instantly moved, not with anger but with joy.

After all, since he submitted to Yangming True Monarch, he naturally hoped to gain something in return.

For instance, the promised benefits.

If he encountered any trouble, Yangming True Monarch might assist him within his capacity.

However, the bond between them was entirely in the hands of the other party, an unwritten agreement.

Now that Yangming True Monarch promised a concubine spot, it was undoubtedly a proactive effort to strengthen their bond, providing him with a calming pill.

”Thank you, Cult Leader!”

Though such matters required Yangming True Monarch’s approval and couldn’t rely solely on Ayoudo’s persuasion,

his gesture to negotiate this matter meant he certainly owed him a favor.

”The Jin Kingdom is just one piece of the Master’s strategy, and ultimately it depends on you and me working together.”

Ayoudo continued, ”As for the candidate, I believe Fellow Daoist Yan knows best, and there’s no need for me to elaborate.”

”If the Master is pleased, it wouldn’t be impossible to be like our sect’s Sky Spider Envoy, bearing offspring for the Master...”

Ayoudo continued to advise.

The cultivation techniques of the Heavenly Corpse Sect have significant drawbacks.

Some of its inheritances turn cultivators into half-human, half-corpse beings, rendering them unable to reproduce.

Though this was beneficial for her,

as there wouldn’t be competition with Nangong Mili and Yina’s children for favor.

But Lu Changsheng’s actions, combined with Lu Quanzhen’s insights, suggested Lu Changsheng might have many offspring.

Under these circumstances, preventing the Heavenly Corpse Sect from bearing children for Lu Changsheng was meaningless.

It was better to proactively disclose the information and align this individual and their future offspring with her faction, forming an alliance.

”Rest assured, Cult Leader. The sect understands these matters.”

Even though the affair between the Five Poisons Cult’s Sky Spider Envoy and Yangming True Man wasn’t widely known,

as the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master, he was aware of this news.

He even knew about Nangong Yaoyao being taken as a disciple by the White Lotus True Monarch.

At once, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master began contemplating the suitable candidate,

considering the need for both loyal confidants and high-rank female cultivators with excellent qualities, making it quite challenging to choose.

However, in the midst of his thoughts, he suddenly paused.

How did the Five Poisons Cult Leader know so much, even discussing such private matters with Yangming True Monarch?

Could it be that the Five Poisons Cult Leader also submitted himself to Yangming True Monarch?

Looking at Ayoudo, who appeared like a seven- or eight-year-old girl, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master’s complexion twitched involuntarily.

Although he knew she retained the appearance of a girl due to the influence of secret techniques, as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, she could change her size at will.

Nevertheless, the thought of Ayoudo submitting to Yangming True Monarch still brought an indescribable feeling to his heart.

But on second thought, does this Yangming True Monarch have some peculiar preferences?

For instance, could he be weary of ordinary female cultivators and thus prefer unique ones?

If this were the case, his Heavenly Corpse Sect might have a slight advantage...

”Thank you for the reminder, Cult Leader. I shall take my leave; I owe you a favor for this matter.”

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master didn’t ponder further, cupping his hands to Ayoudo before leading his men back to the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

Once they were far from the Yiming Ghost Sect, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master turned to his companions, asking if they had seen how Ming Sha True Monarch died.

”Report to the Sect Master...”

The group immediately bowed, recounting the situation outside the Yiming Ghost Sect’s gate.

”Hmm!?”

Hearing that Yangming True Monarch’s son, ”Qu Changtian,” instantly killed Ghost Shadow True Master, and single-handedly battled the Yiming Sect Master, Yinming Ghost King, and Ghost Bat True Master, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master was utterly shocked.

According to intelligence, this child seemed to only have Foundation Establishment cultivation in earlier years?

In just over sixty years, has he grown to such a level?

Is this really Yangming True Monarch’s son?

Not a reincarnated high-rank cultivator?

Could it be that this Yangming True Monarch’s entire family are reincarnated high-rank cultivators?

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master was utterly bewildered.

Although there is talk in the Cultivation World of reincarnated cultivation, breaking the mystery of the womb,

such occurrences are exceedingly rare.

As for the possibility of a father and son both reincarnating to cultivate, it had never been heard of unless high-rank cultivators were involved in body-snatching.

However, upon hearing that Ming Sha True Monarch appeared, only to be killed by Yangming True Monarch within two rounds,

his Nascent Soul Spirit Body devoured by the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, and his body nailed in front of the Yiming Ghost Sect’s gate, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master felt chills throughout his entire body.

In his mind, he recalled what Lu Changsheng once said to him.

”I have not regarded you as an equal opponent; otherwise, you would already be dead.”

Previously, he felt confident that with his Nascent Soul ability to escape, he had a chance to get away.

But now, he felt a coldness in his heart, realizing that even if he tried to escape with his Nascent Soul, things might not end well for him.

At this moment, he developed a deeper sense of submission towards Yangming True Monarch.

Not just for the benefits promised by the other party,

but because Yangming True Monarch’s ability to assist in dangerous situations could alleviate many of the crises he faced in the Southern Wilderness and Northern Territory.
