Chapter 109: 102, I am Xu Xing, determined to win half a son from heaven (5K words, big Chapter)_2

One by one, the Cave Mansion’s checkpoints opened, and he walked out, arriving at the peak of Imperial City Peak.

At the peak, there was a Golden Palace.

"Emperor Chongming’s Second True Successor Song Knife pays respects to Wangui Daoist..."

Song Knife lifted his robe and knelt obediently on the jade steps before the Golden Palace.

After kowtowing three times towards the Golden Palace, he announced loudly, "The Fengxi Country, which this disciple established, did not last three hundred years and was overthrown by rebels within its territory... This disciple is on the verge of Condensing a Pill and will form a First-Class Dragon and Tiger Dao Pill. I beseech Wangui Daoist to grant an Order... to resolve my crisis."

Song Knife adopted an extremely humble posture. Arrogance was permissible only depending on whom one faced. In the Cultivation World, caution was paramount. Moreover, he still needed something from Wangui Daoist, so he couldn’t afford to offend him in the slightest.

Above the Dao Pill Realm lies the Nascent Soul Realm. Cultivators of the Nascent Soul Realm are also respectfully called "Dao Lords" by lower-level Cultivators. Wangui Daoist was a Nascent Soul Cultivator of Imperial City Peak, holding a revered status.

"What is the matter?" a voice, indifferent in tone, emanated from within the Golden Palace.

"The separation of immortal and mortal beings... This is a prohibition of the Immortal Sect, and I cannot violate it."

Wangui Daoist, who was in seclusion within the Golden Palace, opened his eyes. He glanced at Song Knife outside and shook his head. At his level of status, the notion that immortals and mortals should not interfere with each other was mere empty talk. The Flying Feather Immortal Palace, being one of the orthodox sects, had established such prohibitions. If this were the territory of demonic sects like the Mingquan Sect or Yama Palace, mortal kingdoms would be little more than fish on the chopping block for the sect’s cultivators, to be slaughtered at will. Massacring dozens of cities and annihilating three or four countries to refine a single Artifact was extremely common.

Therefore, he refused Song Knife’s request because Song Knife hadn’t offered a price that would move him.

The rebels capable of destroying the National Dynasty established by Song Knife were certainly no pseudo dragon; rather, it was a case of another Human King Physique emerging in the Mortal World. Given his Realm, he wouldn’t be overly concerned about such an Immortal Genius, but neither would he help Song Knife to eliminate them.

"Disciple..."

Song Knife clenched his teeth; he knew it was time to make a significant sacrifice.

He kowtowed again to Wangui Daoist and said, "This disciple knows the Immortal Sect cannot interfere in the Mortal World. However, what this disciple seeks is not for the Immortal Sect to help reestablish the state, but... to ensure the Dragon Pulse of my Fengxi Country remains unbroken for Three Years!"

"With these Three Years, this disciple will surely condense the First-Class Dragon and Tiger Dao Pill in one fell swoop. If successful, this disciple is willing to serve you, Dao Lord, for one hundred years to repay this kindness."

Helping him reestablish the Fengxi Country’s state is not very realistic. But with the Immortal Sect’s methods, protecting the Dragon Pulse of Fengxi Country for Three Years should not be difficult...

After speaking, Song Knife silently looked towards the Golden Palace, awaiting Wangui Daoist’s response.

In fact, with his Jade Liquid Reversion Pill Cultivation and the Dao Pill Realm he was about to reach, he should have had sufficient means to deal with a mere mortal rebel. If one Ye Jeming wasn’t enough, he could send a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to kill the target. If a Foundation Establishment Cultivator wasn’t enough, he could send a Returning Core Cultivator... But— The trouble was... Xu Xing happened to be a True Dragon with the aura of a Human King, and also possessed the Bright King Body. Such aptitude was far superior to his own when he first sought the path of cultivation. If Xu Xing didn’t perish prematurely, it probably wouldn’t take him long to reach his current level... That was why Lingyin Peak had protected Xu Xing, shielding this True Dragon of the mortal way. Since that was the case, he couldn’t target Xu Xing, this budding Genius of the Sect. Granted, there was a blood feud between them—Xu Xing had ruined his foundation for achieving the Dao. Yet, his own power was insufficient to influence the Immortal Sect’s decisions or challenge its rules. So, he wasn’t asking the Immortal Sect to help him target Xu Xing, only to protect his Dragon Pulse for Three Years. This way, his goal of condensing a Dao Pill could be achieved. From the Immortal Sect’s perspective, he was the weaker party. Besides, it was only for a mere Three Years... For the Sect to gain an additional First-Rate Dao Pill Daoist would be a boon, and it wouldn’t excessively affect Xu Xing, the Human King... Furthermore, he was mortgaging his future, willing to spend one hundred years serving Wangui Daoist. No matter how one looked at it, Wangui Daoist stood to gain.

"Three Years..."

"Protect your Dragon Pulse..."

Wangui Daoist’s indifferent voice came from the Golden Palace, "This matter... I grant it!"

Outside the Golden Palace, upon hearing this celestial voice, Song Knife was instantly ecstatic.

"Disciple thanks Dao Lord Wangui for your protection on my path! I will cherish this kindness for all my life."

He stood up and bowed deeply again.

「...」

Even though Xu Xing had anticipated that fate would not unfold precisely as his [Thief Official] Destiny foretold—for instance, he established the Han Dynasty instead of the Zhou, and declared the era name Tiande instead of Ganlu. Emperor Chongming had not committed suicide at Wushan; instead, he had been captured alive by Chang Ji much earlier...

However, just as he was ambitiously preparing to conquer the remaining Territories and achieve the great unification, he was caught off guard when the Flying Feather Immortal Palace dispatched an Immortal to deliver a decree to him...

"Bloodline is nothing but worldly grudges..."

"How can that compare to the camaraderie you will share with your future Senior Brothers."

The Immortal who delivered the decree, named Deng An, chuckled as he pressed the jade decree into Xu Xing’s hands. "Once Junior Brother Xu enters the Immortal Sect, True Man Song Knife will compensate you for these Three Years. You should look on the bright side; with the friendship of a Dao Pill Daoist, your future path in the Cultivation World will be much smoother."

He didn’t think much about Song Knife. After all, it was quite normal for Immortals not to care much about descendants separated by over a dozen generations. There was hardly any familial blood tie to speak of between them... And once Xu Xing joined the Immortal Sect, he had the potential to become the Third True Successor of Imperial Capital Peak. At that point, Xu Xing would be Song Knife’s Junior Brother. The bond between Senior and Junior Brothers was more than enough to outweigh such a tenuous blood relationship.

Song Knife is vindictive and petty...
