I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

The "Earth-Character Dao Seal" was not bestowed directly on Priest Sang by Fairy Xuanling, but was awakened in Priest Sang as the bloodline heir after the death of the previous "Priest".

Therefore, even if Priest Sang died, it would not be a big problem. As long as the most important "Earth Seal" was not lost, then their Sang family would still have a chance to obtain the inheritance of Fairy Xuanling.

But what if... after the death of Priest Sang, no descendant of the Sang family awakened the "Earth Seal" - the meaning of this is self-evident.

"Please wait a moment, Chief."

Hearing this, the eldest elder of the Sang family who was in charge of the internal affairs of the Sang family frowned. After bowing to the head of the Sang family, he waved his sleeves and flew out of the hall in an instant.

After a while, a beautiful girl who looked 70% like Priest Sang, with a complicated expression on her face, followed the Sang family's chief elder and flew into the hall together.

"This is Elder Sang Yan's sister, Sang Yao. On her hand, an Earth Seal appeared. However, the spirituality of this Earth Seal has been greatly reduced compared to before."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Sang family's chance to inherit the throne has already been used up by Sang Yan. Our clan...only has one last chance left."

The eldest elder of the Sang family held a green wooden cane, poked the ground with it, glanced at the elders present, and spoke in a deep voice.

After he finished speaking, he grabbed the void in front of him, and the girl's jade sleeves rose up without wind, revealing a small piece of her white wrist and a faint golden mark on her wrist.

"Did Sang Yan waste an opportunity to obtain the inheritance? And that led to his death?" Upon seeing this, an elder began to speculate.

The three core palaces of the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace are not allowed to be approached by the Sang family monks without permission, but if they want to obtain the inheritance, they must enter the "Dharma Transmission Pavilion" - therefore, he guessed that it is very likely that Priest Sang entered the Dharma Transmission Pavilion without permission, thus wasting an opportunity to obtain the inheritance and unfortunately died in one of the many "dangerous passes" in the Dharma Transmission Pavilion.

This explanation is more acceptable than the fact that Priest Sang was suddenly killed by monks from the lower world.

After all - a great cultivator in the spiritual world, or in the Sang family's "Elder Hall", might not be considered a big deal, but in the human world, he is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of all cultivators.

"We don't know the situation in the secret realm of the Royal Palace. The two priests who served Fairy Xuanling did not reveal too much information to the family... This is just a possibility."

The head of the Sang family shook his head, neither rejecting nor confirming the guess of the Sang family elder.

However, after he finished speaking, many of the Sang family cultivators in the hall instantly set their sights on Sang Yao, with a hint of hidden greed in their eyes.

“Elder Sang Yan was a great cultivator at the stage of transformation of spirit, but he died in the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace, wasting an opportunity to obtain the inheritance.”

"Today, Sang Yao's cultivation is not as good as Elder Sang Yan's. A hundred years ago, she had just reached the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. Whether she has the ability to protect the inheritance for Fairy Xuanling... is inevitably a question mark."

An elder from the Sang family said righteously.

But upon hearing this, Sang Yao shuddered suddenly, realizing that the "Earth Seal" on her wrist had been noticed by this group of people from the same clan.

Both priests were from her lineage, but unfortunately, the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace had restrictions on the realm of the priests, and the highest level could not exceed "God Transformation", otherwise they would automatically lose the qualification to inherit the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace - so, over the years, the two priests forcibly suppressed their realm and did not break through.

As time went by, their lineage also declined and was no longer a major lineage.

After the death of Priest Sang, who was at the "half-step refining void" stage, she not only lost a person to rely on, but it was also visibly impossible for her to protect the "Earth Seal" that had been passed down to her from her brother.

“The Dao Seal with the character ‘Earth’ was bestowed by the Immortal Xuanling. Even though I am not capable of shouldering such a big responsibility, it is obviously difficult for me to pass this Dao Seal on to you uncles and aunts…” Sang Yao pursed her thin lips, trying to make a final effort.

However, in the eyes of other Sang family elders in Xuanling Hall, this look meant that Sang Yao had already agreed.

"We are all descendants of the Sang family, and we all have the same blood flowing in our bodies. It is not difficult to ask the ancestor to help and use the secret technique to transfer this seal to other members of the same clan."

The head of the Sang family said calmly.

"Within six hundred years, I will definitely be able to break through to the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and become a great Spiritual Transformation cultivator!" After hearing this, Sang Yao's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly spoke again to fight for a chance for herself.

“Incarnation?” The head of the Sang family shook his head. “The death of Elder Sang Yan has proved that it is difficult to obtain the inheritance in the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace and the Earth Emperor Pearl by simply incarnating into a spirit.”

"This is not because I am targeting you, a junior, but for the sake of our Sang family's long-term plan. Give up your fantasies and accept the reality... Our Sang family is just a servant clan of the Xuanling Fairy!"

The head of the Sang family said in a serious tone.

Hearing this, Sang Yao was shocked, and immediately understood that these elders in the "Xuanling Palace" wanted not only the "Earth Seal" that had just awakened in her body, but wanted to use it to... ask for more, even at the cost of offending the Fairy Xuanling.

That's right! Fairy Xuanling has disappeared for who knows how many years.

It is rare that the Sang family has been able to keep their original intentions and not develop any "rebellious thoughts" until now.

"You can give up the Earth Seal, but I want a Tianchen Pill and three taels of Qingling Paste... I also need to take away all my brother's belongings."

Sang Yao gritted her teeth and put forward her conditions.

Although Chief Sang frowned upon hearing these conditions, he agreed to them all after thinking about them for a while.

Tianchen Pills and Qingling Paste are both essential spiritual items for Sang family cultivators to break through the Lianxu realm. Needless to say, their value to the Sang family is self-evident - but compared with the "Earth Character Dao Seal", these things can still be discarded.

After all, Sang Yao is also a direct descendant of their Sang family. No matter how greedy these elders are, they cannot fail to meet even this small request. After all, who knows whether they will be the next major branch of the clan to die out?
Two days later.

Sang Yao, whose "Earth Seal" was deprived by the secret technique, flew out of the Xuanling Palace. Her face was pale, and she walked into her own cave with the relics left by Priest Sang in the retreat room in her arms, and then opened them one by one.

Soon, she found the detailed records of what happened in the secret realm of the Royal Palace by Priest Sang.

The clan had already excerpted a copy of this record, but as a junior in the clan, this was the first time she saw it.

"...the five sects of the devil's way joined forces to break through the Weapon Forging Hall...Ding Lezheng obtained the God-Breaking Nail and seized the greatest opportunity, which made it possible for him to break through the God Transformation Realm...Wei Tu entered the Demon Locking Hall alone and made enemies with Ding Lezheng, Gongshu Chou, and Madam Yin Lian..."

Looking at the information flow on the jade slip, Sang Yao found it difficult to find out who was the culprit who caused her brother, Priest Sang, to die in the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace.

As for the elder's inference in the Xuanling Palace...

She scoffed.

If her brother, Priest Sang, really intended to waste this opportunity and break into the Dharma Pavilion to obtain the inheritance, there is no reason for him not to discuss it with his sister and make arrangements in advance.

Therefore, she was 100% sure that it was not the "dangerous pass" in the Dharma Pavilion that caused her brother's death, but someone else.

"Ding Lezheng, Wei Tu..."

After thinking for a moment, Sang Yao marked the emphasis on these two names. Then her eyes flashed slightly, and she escaped from the Sang family's territory and headed straight for "Dushengxian City".

In the Dusheng Immortal City, there is an "Ascension Well" where the cultivators from the human world can directly ascend to - since this person was able to kill her brother, the priest Sang, then in terms of realm, he must have been close to ascending. As long as she waits here, sooner or later, she will be able to catch this "enemy who killed her brother."

By then, with her Lianxu cultivation level, she will be able to avenge herself.

……

The secret realm of the royal palace.

Inside the Demon Locking Hall.

After it was completely stabilized and the cultivation level gained from absorbing the "life force" of Priest Sang, Wei Tu stood up, flicked his sleeves and took away the many formation flags on the ground. He also handed the "life cultivation method" he got from the Dharma Transmission Pavilion to Luqiu Qingfeng.

If one wants to practice this "method of cultivating life", one must do so in a special environment like the Zunwang Palace, which does not exist in the human world or the spiritual world. Otherwise, the resistance of the will of heaven and earth encountered when opening up the life palace will be no small problem.

However, after only practicing in meditation for a short while, Luqiu Qingfeng opened his eyes and shook his head with a dejected look.

She couldn't sense the mysterious "power of fate"!
Unable to sense the power of destiny, it is naturally impossible to absorb the life force traveling outside and open up one's own life palace.

"Qualification problem?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, and after thinking for a while, he roughly understood why Luqiu Qingfeng found it difficult to comprehend the power of destiny.

There is no other reason. The Guixu Sea cultivation world where Luqiu Qingfeng was born can naturally produce cultivators above the late stage of Spirit Transformation.

Not to mention a person in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

He has not escaped the fate trajectory of the "Guixu Sea Cultivation World", and the power of destiny in his body is dispensable. Naturally, it is difficult for him to see or sense this power of destiny that exists in the world.

In short, in one sentence.

From his background, Luqiu Qingfeng was not the cultivator identified by Fairy Xuanling who could practice the "method of life cultivation".

"Although the life cultivation method is powerful, I am not confident. I have cut off my life six times and broke through to the hidden life realm. Practicing this method... is a disaster rather than a blessing for me."

Luqiu Qingfeng smiled on her pretty face, indicating that Wei Tu didn't need to take the matter too seriously, as she knew how to be content.

Life cultivators are strong, but before reaching the hidden life realm - they have to kill their lives once every thousand years, and they also have to kill their lives once every time they break through a major realm.

For someone with mediocre talent like her, if the speed of breakthrough is too slow, the killing once every thousand years would be enough to shorten her lifespan and cause her to fall under the "end of life calamity".

Now, the attempt has not yet succeeded in cultivation, which may not be a bad thing for her.

"With my husband here, even if I don't practice this life-cultivation method, I think my fate will not be bad."

Luqiu Qingfeng said again.

Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded, changed the subject, and prepared to wait patiently for the day when the secret realm of the Royal Palace would be closed.

However, that's about it.

Luqiu Qingfeng suddenly raised her bare hands and pointed her fingers at her forehead.

As a surge of magical power emanated, Wei Tu, who was standing nearby, instantly sensed it. At this moment, Luqiu Qingfeng's soul had weakened a little, as if he had been injured.

"I have already cut off the memory from before. After three breaths, I will only remember that my husband obtained a legacy in the Dharma Pavilion, but I don't know what he obtained, nor the content inside..."

There was blood oozing from the corner of Luqiu Qingfeng's mouth. She stroked Wei Tu's cheek gently and said with a smile.

She knew how precious this life-cultivation inheritance was, and that it was something that even Mahayana cultivators and tribulation-crossing cultivators would fight to the death to get - and since she did not have the aptitude to practice this method, if this method was still memorized in her soul, it would be a great threat to Wei Tu if an accident occurred in the future.

If you treat her with sincerity, she should also return the favor with sincerity.

Relieve Wei Tu’s worries.

This is her duty and mission as a Taoist companion.

"I'm sorry for putting you through this." Wei Tu sighed after hearing this, and felt more grateful for Luqiu Qingfeng's decisiveness.

At least, in his opinion, if he were Luqiu Qingfeng, it would be difficult for him to be so nice to him.

He hugged Luqiu Qingfeng, gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, hugged her, and felt each other's warmth.

After a while, he took out two jade boxes from the storage bag and placed them on the ground.

"These two fifth-grade middle-grade spiritual medicines were obtained from Tianyi Ruins. They are of no use to me. Now, I will give them to you, Qingfeng, as a healing pill."

Originally, he was planning to refine these two fifth-grade middle-quality spiritual herbs into elixirs for himself, but after swallowing the "life force" of Priest Sang, his cultivation level increased greatly, and the value of these two spiritual herbs to him became dispensable.

However, it is still feasible to help Luqiu Qingfeng improve his cultivation by a significant amount.

The words fell.

Wei Tu said no more. He opened the lid of the jade box with an idea, put a spiritual medicine and many auxiliary medicines into the alchemy cauldron, and started to refine the elixir.

A few months later.

The first batch of pills came out and two pills were made, which were carefully collected by Luqiu Qingfeng in the pill bottle.

However, when preparing to refine the second batch of pills, Luqiu Qingfeng stopped Wei Tu.

"Husband, are you planning to ascend to heaven on a certain day after leaving the secret realm of the Royal Palace?" she asked after a moment's hesitation.

She felt that Wei Tu's current behavior was a little more "eager" and not as spontaneous as before.

"It's indeed three breaths..." Seeing this, Wei Tu couldn't help but sigh. He understood that this was because Luqiu Qingfeng had cut off his memory, and he didn't know why he was so anxious now.

Before a life cultivator reaches the "hidden life realm",
It's fighting against heaven for life!

The six fatal swords are hanging above his head. It is true that he can be lazy today, but if he is lazy for one day and all day long, when the fatal disaster falls, he will know that it is too late.

Therefore, after leaving the secret realm of Zunwang Palace and dealing with some mundane affairs, he would make an appointment with the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl to sneak into the spirit world together through the space crack of "Sangshen Ridge".

However, it was impossible to tell Luqiu Qingfeng about this, otherwise all his efforts a few months ago would be in vain.

"Yes, in a few years, I will ascend to the spirit world and leave the human world." Wei Tu nodded and said evasively. (End of this chapter)
