Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 637 Guest
Behind him, more than a thousand disciples of Huanyue Palace were also surprised.

What's going on? In just a few words, the outsider who almost killed his ancestor suddenly became his ancestor?

However surprised they were, they were very happy to have such a powerful ancestor in their sect.

"Disciple pays homage to Ancestor Lingyuan..."

After Chen Mu responded casually, he turned to look at Taoist Chonggu and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Chonggu, from now on... I'll need you to take better care of the palace."

Taoist Chonggu's face froze, and he cupped his hands and said, "I'm relieved, fellow Taoist, there's no need to worry..."

Hearing this, Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction. After picking up the token presented by Liu Tingnan, he left a trace of Taoism on it.

Liu Tingnan was delighted and quickly took the token. He then sent his disciples to offer it in the ancestral hall.

The Supreme Elder is worshipped with a spirit tablet, while the Guest Elder is worshipped with only a token. The things are different, so their nature is naturally different.

The former is passed down from generation to generation, while the latter's binding force is not that strong. If Chen Mu wants to, he can withdraw at any time...

After everything was settled, Chen Mu swept his eyes around and fixed them on one person.

This person was dressed in a green shirt, had an ordinary appearance, and a simple and honest temperament. His realm was only the middle stage of the Golden Core. In the Huanyue Palace, he was not considered to be among the top.

Seeing the old ancestor turn his gaze, the man was immediately terrified and hurriedly bowed and said, "Disciple Han Kong, what can the old ancestor do for you?"

Chen Mu nodded secretly in his heart and asked loudly: "Han Kong, are you willing to become my disciple?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. They turned towards Han Kong with wide eyes, as if asking, what virtue and ability did this person have to deserve the favor of the ancestor?

Little did he know that Chen Mu had already noticed that when Liu Tingnan was injured, Han Kong was among the group with a sad face, but he had not yet set off. It can be seen that he was neither under Liu Tingnan's command, nor was he devoted to the Chonggu Taoist lineage.

Since he has agreed to be a guest official, he cannot just sit there and do nothing. Otherwise, when Liu Tingnan needs him, he will inevitably disobey his orders.

Therefore, if you accept someone and cultivate him, you can use him as your own spy and also explain his status as a guest official. Why not do it?
Han Kong was overjoyed. He was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Of course I am willing. I will pay my respects to the Master right away..."

But before he could finish his words, he heard Chen Mu say with a smile: "Wait a minute."

Han Kong paused and looked up with a little trepidation.

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "We are just the first to meet, so I will first grant you a nominal position. If you are interested in me in the future, you can truly become my disciple. Are you willing?"

"Registered disciple..."

Han Kong was of course a little disappointed when he heard this, but then he thought again that a registered disciple was also a disciple of the Nascent Soul stage.

Besides, as long as he practices diligently and works for his master in the future, his wish may come true. So he immediately agreed and bowed again: "Disciple Han Kong, I pay my respects to the master!"

Chen Mu nodded and smiled, then waved his hand and threw out a jade talisman, saying meaningfully: "If you have any questions in the future, you can use this talisman to pass on the message..."

Han Kong has an honest face, but he has already reached the Golden Elixir realm, so how could he be an unreasonable person?

His eyes flickered as he took the jade talisman and said seriously, "Master, don't worry. I will remember your teachings!"

Seeing this, Liu Tingnan felt puzzled and thought to himself, "It seems that Junior Brother Han will be a member of the Lingyuan lineage from now on. If he wants to check and balance Senior Uncle Chonggu, he needs to get closer to him..."

"In that case, I will leave now."

Chen Mu said his last words, then waved his sleeves, turned around, and flew up into the air. Amid the loud shouts of "Farewell, Old Ancestor," he disappeared in an instant...

……

The East China Sea is vast, and the escaping light is hidden above.

Chen Mu knew that he had little time left before leaving for Zhongzhou, so he did not stop along the way. It only took him a few days to return to the mountain gate.

Taoist Tianxing, who had originally hoped that Chen Mu would come to find him, had become impatient and was therefore always keeping an eye on the movements at the mountain gate.

The moment Chen Mu appeared, a beam of light flew up from Tianxing Mountain and landed nearby in an instant, shouting, "My ancestor, you are finally back!"

Chen Mu smiled slightly and bowed, saying, "Grandfather, is it not too late for me?"

Taoist Tian Xing glared and said, "Almost!" After that, his expression relaxed again and he raised an eyebrow and asked, "How is it?"

"What?" Chen Mu was stunned.

"Nonsense, I'm asking you about your water-walking ability!"

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled, then replied, "I will succeed."

"it is good!"

Taoist Tianxing clapped his hands vigorously, and looking at his expression, he seemed to be even happier than Chen Mu.

At this time, Yun Xi, Zhuang Yan and others also rushed over and met together on the cloud.

After a few people talked for a while, Tian Xing Taoist waved his hand and said decisively:

"Quickly pack up, I will take you to Xuantian Mansion."

"So fast?"

Taoist Tian Xing said unhappily, "What else? Do you think I can participate once I get there? I have to make some arrangements in advance."

Chen Mu smiled and thought about it, then realized that he didn't have anything to pack, so he just nodded to Zhuang Yan and went to the side of Tianxing Taoist.

Zhuang Yan's expression was solemn, making his already serious face even more stern. He said, "This journey will be difficult... You must be careful."

Chen Mu nodded in response: "Disciple, save that."

"Alright, alright, with the old ancestor watching over him, how can we let this kid die?"

Taoist Tian Xing waved his hand and turned to Yun Xi again, saying, "Junior Sister, I know you have a calm nature and don't like to be entangled in worldly affairs. However, since Senior Brother is away this time, I really need you to look after everyone in the sect."

Yun Xi nodded and bowed: "Don't worry, Senior Brother."

Taoist Tianxing finally nodded, exchanged a glance with Chen Mu, and then said goodbye to his fellow disciples and left in a mighty manner.

Looking at this situation, Zhuang Yan sighed softly: "I hope that this time, I can get what I want..."

……

The two of them ascended all the way to the sky. Before they had gone far, the Taoist priest Tian Xing suddenly said with a serious expression, "Boy, I heard them say that you have survived the nine levels of thunder tribulation. Is that true?"

Chen Mu pursed his lips. It had been ten years since this happened, and now he was asking whether it was true or not...

In fact, it is not Tianxing's fault. After all, he initially subconsciously thought that he was at the seventh level. By the time he found out, Chen Mu had already gone into seclusion.

Actually, this was only their second meeting in ten years...

Seeing that he didn't respond, Tian Xing Taoist suddenly sighed and said from time to time: "I am so stupid. Why did I agree to let you go to Zhongzhou?"

"This is a ninth-level talent. In my Fushan Changhe, there has never been one like this in ten thousand years. How could I put you in such danger?"

"I'm so stupid, really. If anything happens to you, how can I, the ancestor, face the ancestors of my sect..."

Chen Mu smiled secretly in his heart and shook his head, saying, "It just happened to be a catastrophe that would last for ten thousand years. Even if we don't get into danger this time, we will not be able to avoid it in the future. Why does the ancestor need to do this?"

Hearing this, Taoist Tian Xing nodded and said in amazement, "You're right. If you can't even face such a dangerous situation, then when the demonic calamity comes, the disaster will be even worse!"

"Yes."

Chen Mu replied casually.

Taoist Tian Xing continued to mutter for a moment, then suddenly said, "No, the ninth level of talent is still too conspicuous. Judging from the centuries of experience of our ancestors, you should only show the eighth level of Nascent Soul. They shouldn't be able to tell anyway..."

Chen Mu's eyes flashed, and he took these words to heart...
