Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2577: Does This Yangming True Monarch Have Certain Eccentricities?
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Lu Changsheng saw the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master adopting a proper stance and did not continue to apply pressure.
The terrifying might that penetrated the heavens and earth, as if a billion divine mountains and torrents were dissipating like a tide.
It was as if it was just a fleeting illusion.
Then, he looked peacefully at the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master and said, "Fellow Daoist of the Heavenly Corpse, now that the Ming Sha True Monarch is dead and the Yiming Ghost Sect has been destroyed by this True Monarch, I intend to consolidate the various forces within the Cultivation World of the Jin Kingdom to jointly confront external threats and deal with the Great Tribulation of the Cultivation World. What are your thoughts, Fellow Daoist?"
Lu Changsheng’s words were calm and indifferent.
But to the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master’s ears, it was like rolling heavenly thunder, shocking him inwardly.
Understanding that Yangming True Monarch was asking whether he was willing to submit!
Such a thing, he naturally was unwilling.
After all, as a Nascent Soul True Lord and a sect leader, always standing high above, how could he be willing to submit to others?
But the other side was not asking, seeking his opinion.It was an examination!
The Yangming True Monarch before him was a mid-stage Nascent Soul giant.
If he refused, he feared he might not escape unscathed today.
Even if he managed to escape luckily, he would have to abandon the foundation of the Heavenly Corpse Sect established over many years.
"The True Monarch possesses profound strength. If you wish to consolidate the Jin Kingdom, my Heavenly Corpse Sect surely has no objections."
After hesitating for a moment, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master gritted his teeth and said, "It’s just that my Heavenly Corpse Sect has been operating in the Jin Kingdom for many years, with its stances and considerations. I hope the True Monarch can clarify what the plan is."
He didn’t mind submitting to this reincarnated great power, Yangming True Monarch.
But as a Nascent Soul True Lord, he had his dignity and pride.
Absolutely impossible to abandon his dignity completely just to survive, to become someone’s dog, and bury the foundation of his Heavenly Corpse Sect, becoming a vassal.
"Heh, this True Monarch will not excessively interfere with your Heavenly Corpse Sect’s affairs, and I am even willing to provide sufficient support and generous benefits."
Lu Changsheng held the Michen Banner in one hand, with the other hand behind his back, and said indifferently, "I’ve heard from Ayoudo that your Heavenly Corpse Sect once lost some treasures in the Myriad Demon Abyss."
"And in the Myriad Demon Abyss, there are also many demonized beasts, demonized corpse kings, which should be of considerable help to your Heavenly Corpse Sect."
"As long as you are willing to obey this True Monarch, in the future, this True Monarch might as well help you retrieve your sect’s Lost Treasures and hunt down Fourth Rank demonized fierce beasts for corpse refinement."
Lu Changsheng knew that to have the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master, a Nascent Soul True Lord, serve him willingly, he must offer tangible benefits.
Otherwise, a Nascent Soul True Lord can live freely everywhere, establishing their foundations; how could they easily submit, simply for the threat to their life!
Not to mention, even the "Upper Envoy" behind Yiming Ghost Sect and Beast God Mountain had promised many benefits before.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, the master’s words are not false. I not only received top-level inheritance bestowed by the master but also, with the master’s help, successfully retrieved the Gu God Bowl that was lost in the Myriad Demon Abyss."
Ayoudo, standing by, chimed in immediately.
As Lu Changsheng’s woman, she naturally wouldn’t just stand by; she decisively chose to assist.
As she spoke, her fair, small hand lifted, revealing a bowl that was entirely dark, with a luster of iridescent light, and carved with many Gu insect patterns resting in her palm.
It was the supreme treasure of her Five Poisons Cult—Gu God Bowl!
After years of meticulous nurturing, this Gu God Bowl was no longer as broken as when it was first found, filled with evil demonic Qi.
A certain vague Gu insect Qi emanated, as if many Gu insects were roaring and trembling, captivating the soul.
"Master!?"
The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master, although guessed, the Five Poisons Cult Leader had already defected to the Yangming True Monarch.
But hearing Ayoudo address Lu Changsheng as master still shocked his heart.
This "Master" meant that Ayoudo was subordinate to Yangming True Monarch, of inferior status!
With a change in countenance, he looked towards the Gu God Bowl in Ayoudo’s hand.
Though unable to fully recognize this supreme treasure of the Five Poisons Cult,
From a general observation, it was clear that it was extraordinary.
Especially on the bowl, the still not entirely cleansed demonic Qi made it obvious it had been tainted in the Myriad Demon Abyss for too long, causing the erosion.
At this moment, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master hesitated.
After all, cultivation is nothing but the pursuit of a few things.
Reaching his current realm, he understood his potential was limited.
This life, hoping to break through to Nascent Soul Middle Stage, was dim, almost impossible!
Now, submitting to this reborn great power, Yangming True Monarch, perhaps wasn’t a bad opportunity.
Moreover...now he had no other choice.
The Five Poisons Cult Leader had already submitted to Yangming True Monarch.
The other party also had a terrifying Fourth Rank Spiritual Pet.
In such a scenario, only by Nascent Soul leaving the body, there might be a chance of escaping alive.
"If that’s the case, my Heavenly Corpse Sect is willing to obey the True Monarch and look to the True Monarch for guidance in the future!"
The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master’s face was dark, taking a deep breath, he said slowly, choosing to retain the last bit of dignity, but his voice still carried a hint of reluctance and helplessness.
If it weren’t for having no other way, who of the dignified Nascent Soul True Lords would be willing to submit to others?
Even though the Yangming True Monarch before him was a reincarnated great power, offering numerous benefits.
But being a Nascent Soul True Lord, cultivated for hundreds of years, promises made and plans made for his subordinates were countless and unimaginable.
How could he easily believe such promised words?
Lu Changsheng saw the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master’s reluctance, compelled by his strength.
This was normal.
It was as expected.
If showing Nascent Soul Middle Stage power could make a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator willingly submit, then there wouldn’t be so many disputes in the Cultivation World.
"Since that’s the case, open your mind and heart, and let Ayoudo set up the prohibition for you."
