Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 398 Father-in-law Ling Xiu
"Why is King Ji so heartless? I have no grudges against King Ji, so it would be a good thing to establish a good relationship with him. Although I am the leader of the Death Zen Sect, I am not someone who does not know how to repay a favor. On the contrary, even if it is for the sake of the perfection of my Sacred Heart, I will repay the King of Heaven for this favor."

"Besides, if I die, the Ghost King of the First Divine Being will surely escape. How can the Heavenly King, a mere half-saint, cope with the situation then? If the Ghost King of the First Divine Being leaves this underworld, it will undoubtedly bring untold disaster to the entire Kunlun Realm. As the Heavenly King of the Central Empire, how can the Heavenly King Ji sit idly by and watch? I can promise that as long as the Heavenly King intervenes, I will not allow the Death Zen Sect to leave the overseas for a hundred years. Furthermore, if the Undead Blood Clan invades the Kunlun Realm, I am willing to do my utmost to help them fight against the Blood Emperor of the Undead Blood Clan. How do you say that?"

The leader of the Dead Zen Sect, Old Ancestor Dead Zen, made the promise.

"These conditions are excellent, but I don't think they're worth your death. Your ideals are no less detrimental to the entire Kunlun Realm than the Undead Blood Clan. Furthermore, you used the Void Sword to break the seal left by the Thousand Bones Empress to suppress the underworld, causing countless undead spirits to rush into the Meteoric God Cemetery. At least a billion lives have been slain by these undead spirits and the Undead Blood Clan. Do you think your conditions are sufficient to absolve you of such sins?"

Zhao Shuang asked without showing any sign of being moved.

"Heavenly King, what you said is wrong. I am only doing this to protect myself. After all, I have exhausted all my holy energy in dealing with this Godly Ghost King. This is also a merit. After all, if this Godly Ghost King survives the seventh ghost calamity, he will surely become the Great Sage Ghost Emperor. At that time, he will also be able to tear open the seal set by the Thousand Bones Empress and lead the undead ghosts in the underworld to rush out of the Meteoric Tomb Forest and bring disaster to the people. At the same time, if he becomes the Ghost Emperor, he will most likely be able to regain control of his own divine corpse. At that time, even Chi Yaonu will be able to... It's not easy for the Emperor to annihilate him, and I'm doing this to stop him. This would be a great merit for the entire Kunlun Realm. If this Divine Ghost King were allowed to advance to the Great Sage Ghost Emperor, leading the undead ghosts and creatures out of the underworld and into the God's Tomb Forest, the Heavenly King believes the Kunlun Realm will lose more than a billion, perhaps even tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of lives. Therefore, everything I do is saving the Kunlun Realm and countless lives. The Heavenly King wonders if I'm wrong.

The old man of Dead Zen spoke slowly and without any sign of weakness like a dying candle just now. On the contrary, he spoke with a sonorous and powerful voice.

Debating with Zhao Shuang.

"Even if we don't mention these things, why wouldn't this poor monk protect himself? If the Heavenly King and I were in the same situation, what would we choose? Would we fight to the death, or would we care about the lives of the people in Kunlun Realm?"

The old man of Si Zen asked again.

"The Heavenly King should know and understand that the desire for survival is the instinct of all living things in the world. Otherwise, what is the point of cultivation? Isn't it just to become stronger and compete with the heavens for life and longevity? Is the Heavenly King Ji willing to give up his own life for an unrelated person?"

"Even if I weren't here, wouldn't the creatures outside the Fallen God Tomb Forest have died? It's only a matter of time. So, I simply accelerated this process, giving me a little more hope of survival. How could I have done anything wrong?"

The Patriarch of Dead Zen asked questions one after another.

"I don't care about any of this. Whether what you said is right or wrong has nothing to do with me. I know you said all this just to buy time, waiting for your disciple Nan Xinshu to come and rescue you. After all, he is already a saint, strong enough to fight me. And you only need this much time to recover. In this case, my life or death depends entirely on your decision."

Zhao Shuang shook his head and chuckled, directly expressing the thoughts of the Dead Zen Patriarch.

"Yes, the Heavenly King listened to what I said and said so much, which means he believes that he himself is capable of dealing with the mind trick and preventing me from escaping, right?"

The Patriarch Si Zen also admitted it.

"Yes, this is true. After all, he is the ancestor of Si Zen! It is really a pity if he died here so tragically. However, do you think it is possible for your disciple, Nan Xinshu to come here? How did I know you were here?"
Zhao Shuang nodded and admitted it, saying.

"But I feel that Xinshu is not dead yet. On the contrary, he is on his way here. As long as I can delay for a while, I believe he will arrive."

The Old Ancestor of Si Zen did not believe what Zhao Shuang said.

After all, he trusted his feelings.

"Yes, but how long can you hold on? How much time will the Ghost King of the Beginning of the Gods give you? For him, my arrival is enough to speed up the time it takes to kill you, so that you won't be killed by my sneak attack here. After all, I have the Void Sword in my hand. This is definitely a huge threat to him, a threat that can kill him now."

Zhao Shuang took out the Void Sword and smiled fearlessly.

Seeing the Void Sword in Zhao Shuang's hand, both the Old Ancestor of Dead Zen and the Ghost King of God were panicked, but neither of them let the other go, intending to join forces to deal with Zhao Shuang, the uninvited guest, first.

Because no one knows whether the other party has reached a cooperation with Zhao Shuang.

Once they join forces, they will be putting their lives in each other's hands, which is impossible for both of them.

"Then why doesn't the Heavenly King take action now and kill the Ghost King of the Beginning God, and then kill this poor monk? Anyway, I am no different from an ordinary person now."

The leader of the Death Zen Sect, the Death Zen Patriarch, continued.

"Kill the Ghost King of the Beginning God. If I kill him, I'm afraid I'll be the next to die. Not only did you get the divine corpse you wanted, you also got the Void Sword. Add to that the Myriad Treasures Cassock, and you'll suddenly have the power to fight against Empress Chi Yao and bring disaster to the people and the Kunlun Realm. Why should I kill the Ghost King of the Beginning God first, so that you can be the biggest winner?"

Zhao Shuang smiled and asked back.

"The King of Heaven can also kill me, rescue the Ghost King of God, and let him become the biggest winner, right?" The Old Ancestor of Dead Zen also asked in return.

"Then, is there a possibility that I could kill you all and become the biggest winner, obtaining the divine corpse and your Death Zen Sect's most precious treasure, the Ten Thousand Treasures Cassock. And most importantly, the stone talisman left behind by the Thousand Bones Empress, thereby sealing the entire underworld and the Fallen God Tomb Forest. Even if I can't seal it completely, delaying it for a hundred or eighty years shouldn't be a problem."

Zhao Shuang chuckled.

"No, it's impossible unless the Thousand Bone Empress is resurrected."

The old man of dead Zen denied it.

"Although there is no Thousand Bone Empress, there is still a Great Saint of Spiritual Power."

Zhao Shuang explained.

"The Great Saint of Spiritual Power? Who?"

The leader of the Dead Zen Sect, Old Ancestor Dead Zen, panicked and said in shock.

"The former son of the Demon Cult's Demon Emperor, Ling Xiu!"

Zhao Shuang uttered a few words to introduce himself.

"Impossible. His cultivation level was abolished long ago when he failed in his bid for the position of Demon Sect Leader. How could he possibly become a Spiritual Power Great Sage? Even I am only one step away from becoming a Spiritual Power Great Sage."

The leader of the Dead Zen Sect, Old Patriarch Dead Zen, does not believe in Taoism at all.

"There are three thousand great ways, and which one isn't the path of the Saint? Moreover, Ling Xiu was such a brilliant talent back then, how could he be willing to become a mortal? Now that he's broken through to the Great Sage stage, he's regained his position as the leader of the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult. Shi Qianjue had already entered the underworld, but no one knows where he was transported by the River of Corpses. Ling Zheng is on his way here. If he takes action, combined with the stone talisman, the Myriad Treasures Casket, and at worst, the Void Sword, do you think there's any hope of resealing the underworld and the Fallen God Tomb Forest for a hundred years?"

Zhao Shuang asked again.

"This is the reason why the Heavenly King came here. It turns out that the Heavenly King had already calculated everything. It was I who miscalculated."

The leader of the Dead Zen Sect, the Old Ancestor of Dead Zen, laughed.

"However, does the Heavenly King think that he can really kill this poor monk and the Ghost King of the First God by himself?"

"If he can't, then this Saint should be enough to do it, right?"

Before the leader of the Death Zen Sect, the Death Zen Patriarch, finished speaking, another chuckle was heard.

Then, a figure appeared in the sea of ​​​​magma in the distance.

The man who arrived was a white-haired man in his fifties who looked somewhat similar to Ling Feiyu, but his face was haggard and somewhat sickly, without a trace of holy energy. "Greetings, Master. The Master of the Death Zen Sect and the Divine First Ghost King are now in your care."

Zhao Shuang was not surprised to see Ling Xiu's father-in-law coming.
Even if it wasn't for the purpose of killing Shi Qianjue and eradicating the entire sect, Ling Xiu would not have come to the underworld just for the supreme sacred weapon of the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect in Shi Qianjue's hand.

"Spiritual Power Great Saint, I didn't expect you to break through."

The leader of the Death Zen Sect sighed and said,

"This is all thanks to King Ji Tian. If it weren't for King Ji Tian, ​​I'm afraid even after another hundred years, I wouldn't be able to take that step."

Ling Xiu nodded and walked in front of Zhao Shuang, protecting him behind him and said.

"King Ji Tian, ​​you should leave first. The battle will be very fierce soon, so you should avoid being affected."

"No need. Father-in-law, hold them captive for a while. You can fight later. I'll get the magic medicine first. It's an important item."

Zhao Shuang directly called Ling Xiu "father-in-law".

When Ling Xiu heard this name, he didn't get angry, but laughed instead.

"Fei Yu is a stubborn girl. It's time someone took care of her. As for the magic medicine, King Ji Tian can go get it. The two of them can't interfere at all."

Ling Xiu promised that this was the domineering way of breaking through the spiritual power of the Great Sage.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, father-in-law."

Zhao Shuang laughed, then used the earth escape technique to go underground.

"I never thought that one day, you and I would meet again?" After Zhao Shuang left, Ling Xiu did not take action but instead started chatting with the leader of the Death Zen Sect, the Death Zen Patriarch. There was a sense of sighing in his tone as if he had met an old friend.

"Yes, I didn't expect that Sect Leader Ling has actually broken through to the spiritual power great saint. It seems that today, I and the Ghost King of the First God will definitely die."

The leader of the Dead Zen Sect, Old Patriarch Dead Zen, smiled bitterly.

"Death, it's not necessary. You are considered a great hero. As long as you promise that the Death Zen Sect will never set foot on the land of Kunlun Realm again, only stay overseas, and do three things for me, I can agree to let you go. This condition is not too much, right?"

The conditions proposed by Ling Xiu, the current leader of the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult.

"It's not too much. I agree."

Upon hearing Ling Xiu's conditions, Patriarch Sichan was somewhat surprised and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then let's join forces to kill this Godly Ghost King!"

Ling Xiu's eyes turned cold and then fell on the Ghost King of God.

He had sealed this void with his mental power and was not worried at all that the Ghost King of God Chu could escape.

"I need to recover some strength before I can help the Master."

At this time, the ancestor of Dead Zen said.

"can."

Hearing this, Ling Xiu did not refuse. He directly shot a holy light into the body of the Dead Zen Patriarch, allowing his originally dried-up flesh and blood to recover again. His strength and aura also recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is the terrifying thing about the Great Sage. With just one ray of holy light, the Dead Zen Patriarch recovered most of his strength.

And when the Death Zen Patriarch recovered, he began to use thirty-six golden chains to further restrain the imprisoned God First Ghost King, who was trying to break free from his restraints.

"This king, this king... is the soul of God. If you kill me, you will surely be punished by God!"

Under the threat of death, the Ghost King Shenchu ​​let out a final cry, but unfortunately, it was of no avail.

After all, the Old Ancestor of Dead Zen was not weaker than him, and was even stronger, while Ling Xiu was a great sage of spiritual power. With the two of them working together, the Ghost King of God Chu had no power to resist at all and was imprisoned in a holy artifact with a ten thousand pattern seal attribute that Ling Xiu took out.

After all, this God-First Ghost King is equivalent to the peak of the Ninth-Step Saint King, and he is only one step away from becoming the Great Saint Ghost Emperor like Ling Xiu.

If it weren't for the fact that Old Ancestor Si Zen consumed too much energy, it would not be easy to seal it in the Wanwen Holy Artifact. It might even burst directly. This was because Ling Xiu was a great sage of spiritual power and had enough strength to suppress it.

And it is not an easy task to kill it.

After all, he is the Ghost King of the First Divine Realm, and even Ling Xiu would find it difficult to kill him in a short time.

Subduing him is undoubtedly the best choice. By then, with the help of the Ghost King of the First God, the Patriarch of Death Zen and Ling Xiu himself, even if Shi Qianjue possesses the supreme holy weapon, they will be able to kill him.

"Master Ling, do you think King Ji Tian can really obtain the magic medicine?"

At this time, the leader of the Dead Zen Sect, the Old Ancestor Dead Zen, began to question Ling Xiu again.

"what do you want to say?"

Ling Xiu glanced at the Death Zen Patriarch and said indifferently.

“If Sect Leader Ling obtains the divine medicine and consumes it, he won’t have any problems reaching the realm of the Supreme Great Sage, let alone breaking through to the divine realm. With time, he’ll even have a chance to become a god. But if King Ji Tian obtains it…”

The Patriarch Si Zen did not finish his words.

"Alright, you must not reveal a single word about him obtaining the divine medicine, or I will surely kill you. This is his opportunity, and I will not interfere. As for the divine medicine, if he is willing to give it to me, that would be great. If not, I will not force it. After all, I already owe him a huge favor by enabling him to achieve a spiritual breakthrough this time."

Ling Xiu's eyes turned cold and he demanded.

"Is this one of the three things?" The leader of the Death Zen Sect, the Death Zen Patriarch, said with a smile.

Obviously, he did it on purpose.
