Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 544 - 280. The envoy from Cloud Sword Sect comes and accepts Zuoqiu Ying as a Daoist partner_2.
"Nowadays, the Prides of Heaven from various sects are rising. In Master Xu’s opinion, who is likely to become an immortal? Who can be considered a Banished Immortal?"
Wu Ziting did not answer Xu Xing’s question but changed the topic. "Fellow Daoist Sui Nansheng from your sect is a Sky-Communicating Spiritual Body, belonging to the category of Immortal Body. He was born with a jade-like demeanor. He exorcised six demons with his sword, obtained the Golden Lotus in the Sea of No Dust and Suffering, and cultivated the Supreme Sword Bones. Five hundred years ago, he became a Dao Lord. Now, having secluded himself for many years, people speculate that he might have reached the Sage Monarch realm, becoming The Fourth Venerated Sword Master of the Cloud Sword Sect! Fellow Daoist Sui should have Banished Immortal qualifications!"
Xu Xing, upon hearing this, was momentarily startled. After a brief contemplation, he recounted the experiences of Sui Nansheng from Cloud Sword Sect.
Each of the Ten Great Higher Teachings has produced individuals of astounding talent within a thousand years, who distinguish themselves from the other disciples, their reputations spreading throughout the Cultivation World. This included Flying Feather Immortal Palace; although Ruan Baimei possessed a Taibai Immortal Body, in his Master and Disciple Lineage before him, besides Song Knife, there were six other Chief. Each Chief was a person of astounding genius. These six great Chief might not compare to Sui Nansheng of Cloud Sword Sect, but within Flying Feather Immortal Palace, they were undoubtedly disciples with the potential to achieve the Primordial Spirit.
"Uncle Sui?" Wu Ziting shook her head. "Although Uncle Sui’s swordsmanship is extraordinary, he is only hoped to reach the Sage Monarch realm. After entering the Sage Monarch realm, he would be considered rather ordinary, not possessing Banished Immortal qualifications."
Each Nascent Soul Saint Monarch represented the pinnacle of talent nurtured by the Ten Great Higher Teachings over tens of thousands of years. Sui Nansheng undoubtedly stood out among ordinary Prides of Heaven. However, when compared to Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs, the distinction became less apparent.
"The Yama Child of Yama Palace," Xu Xing continued, having roughly guessed Cloud Sword Sect’s intentions upon hearing Wu Ziting’s words. However, he wasn’t particularly concerned about it at this moment and was content to continue the conversation for her. "In the Demonic Way’s Yama Palace, a Yama Child is chosen from among the disciples every three thousand years. According to Ancient Books, more than eighty percent of Yama Children are expected to enter the Sage Monarch realm and become illustrious, outstanding figures among Sage Monarchs."
Wu Ziting sighed. "Although the Yama Child is renowned, Demonic Way cultivation methods are not the Righteous Path. Due to their focus on quick gains, there are bound to be future troubles... The Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs of Yama Palace rarely live for ten thousand years..."
"What about Dai Ji of Red Dust Pavilion?" Xu Xing said after a moment’s thought. "Immortal Lady Dai Ji is the foremost beauty of Red Dust Pavilion. A few days ago, she consumed the Red Bead Immortal Grass, cleansed her mortal frame, and her cultivation reached the Nascent Soul Realm..."
Dai Ji of Red Dust Pavilion breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm might not seem as remarkable as the achievements of Sui Nansheng or the Yama Child he had mentioned earlier. However, Dai Ji was different; her cultivation age was slightly younger than his. She was only about two hundred and thirty years old now. The reason he knew about Dai Ji was also because some enthusiasts had compared him and Dai Ji, considering them the East Huangzhou Two Walls.
Wu Ziting shook her head again. "Rapid cultivation proves nothing. Not everyone is like you, Master Xu..." If she disregarded building a profound foundation and relied on certain secret techniques and Spirit Pills, she too could break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in a short time. However, a Nascent Soul Realm achieved this way is not standard. Not only would the lifespan fall short of five thousand years, but combat strength would also be considerably weaker than that of ordinary Dao Lords.
Hearing this, Xu Xing wasn’t surprised. Disciples from other Higher Teachings have always looked down upon Red Dust Pavilion, believing it tarnishes the reputation of Higher Teachings and is unworthy of being counted among them, especially cultivators from Cloud Sword Sect. Cloud Sword Sect and Red Dust Pavilion were the only two female cultivator sects among the Ten Great Higher Teachings—one righteous, one demonic.
"Then, in Fairy Wu’s opinion, who in the current East Huangzhou possesses Banished Immortal qualifications?" Xu Xing picked up the Fragrant Tea, took a few sips, then looked at the two women with a faint smile as he asked.
Within this East Huangzhou, he was the foremost individual beneath the Nascent Soul Stage; possessing Banished Immortal qualifications, who else could it be but him? He had this confidence. After his cultivation reached the Nascent Soul Realm in the Starfall Sect Blessed Land, a wisp of Immortal Qi was born within him, forming the [Banished Immortal] Immortal Fate. He could say that he was a true Banished Immortal, possessing the qualifications to become an immortal.
"It must be Master Xu," Wu Ziting said, covering her mouth with a light chuckle. "Among all cultivators under the sky, who else but Master Xu could be acclaimed by the world as possessing Banished Immortal qualifications?" She then returned to the previous topic, "The reason our Sect’s Contract Book is a blank sheet of paper is not because our Sect intends to slight Master Xu, but rather... this contract requires Master Xu to write it personally..."
As she finished speaking, the smile vanished from Wu Ziting’s face, replaced by a solemn and grave expression.
"This..." Zuoqiu Ying, standing to the side, felt her pupils constrict upon hearing this, realizing Wu Ziting’s true, unveiled intentions.
This blank sheet of paper targeted not Xu Xing or Butian Sect, but Nanhua Sect, which had yet to establish formal relations with Butian Sect. From Xu Xing’s participation in the marriage alliances of the two Higher Teachings until now, although Nanhua Sect had remained passive, forsaking Flying Feather Immortal Palace and nurturing a "Butian Sect," as long as matters were allowed to unfold naturally, Nanhua Sect could still profit from the situation. This was the scheme of Ding Jifeng and the others: using Butian Sect’s name to encroach upon some of Flying Feather Immortal Palace’s interests and resources, thereby strengthening Nanhua Sect; after all, the current Flying Feather Immortal Palace lacked legitimate standing. But at this moment, while Nanhua Sect was still hesitating whether to appease both sides and play a double game, Cloud Sword Sect emerged, attempting to snatch the "peach" that was Butian Sect. Should this happen, Nanhua Sect would find itself in an unenviable position, like Zhu Bajie looking in a mirror—pleasing no one and gaining nothing.
Xu Xing, his mind working quickly, grasped what Zuoqiu Ying had realized. However, being a man of considerable shrewdness, he wouldn’t readily disclose his own thoughts. "Xu Mou has received Cloud Sword Sect’s sincerity. However... Xu Mou is currently still a guest at Nanhua Sect, and this is not Butian Sect’s territory. How about Xu Mou discusses this with Fairy Wu after Xu Mou returns to the North Wilderness?"
"Then this concubine shall await Master Xu’s reply," Wu Ziting rose, curtsied to Xu Xing, and then departed on a cloud. "I believe Master Xu will not disappoint Cloud Sword Sect, and our Sect will not disappoint Master Xu and Butian Sect..."
Shortly after, only Xu Xing and Zuoqiu Ying remained in the Living Room.
"Immortal Ying, what important matter brings you to Xu Mou?" Xu Xing asked, feigning indifference.
Zuoqiu Ying’s heart tightened. "This concubine... came here... I have prepared some Lotus Seed Soup. This Lotus Seed Soup is a spiritual food; it can nourish the Dao body and restore Magic Power..." She retrieved a lacquered wooden food box from her Storage Bag and placed it on the table.
After Ruan Baimei canceled the marriage, and following Ding Jifeng’s hints, she understood she had become a pawn in the game between Nanhua Sect and Butian Sect. However... despite being a pawn, after resigning herself to her fate, she had gradually grown content with Xu Xing. After all, given her current status, it would be difficult to find another prospective husband like Xu Xing in the entire world.
"Lotus Seed Soup?" Xu Xing’s expression softened, the coldness in his gaze slowly dissipating. He stood up, walked over to Zuoqiu Ying, and gently stroked her waterfall-like long hair. "Immortal Ying... You also know Xu Mou’s situation now; if Xu Mou no longer has the support of a Higher Teaching..." Xu Xing gently encircled Zuoqiu Ying’s slender waist, inhaling the captivating fragrance from the beautiful female cultivator, and whispered in her ear. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
He also came from an Emperor’s background. Zhao Yunniang, during her lifetime, had even advised him to take imperial consorts. However, he was devoted to the Immortal Path and did not wish for attachments to mortal women, so he had never remarried. For the benefit of Butian Sect and his own Immortal Journey, he wouldn’t mind marrying Zuoqiu Ying as well; in any case, he wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.
"This concubine understands," Zuoqiu Ying’s delicate body trembled slightly. She wanted to push Xu Xing away but, thinking of the marriage alliance between their sects and her own future path, her resolve wavered, and she allowed him to embrace her. "Now that Master Xu... is newly establishing Butian Sect, and our Sect has not offered clear support, Cloud Sword Sect has extended an olive branch. If this concubine were in Master Xu’s position, it would also be difficult to refuse..."
"After returning to the North Wilderness, you will also return with Xu Mou," Xu Xing continued. "Xu Mou will write a letter to Nanhua Sect and sign a Marriage Contract with Nanhua Sect. You will then be Xu Mou’s formally and properly wedded spouse..."
There was no such thing as equality in the Cultivation World. A strong male cultivator could have several female spouses, and a strong female cultivator could likewise have several male spouses. He was a Sect Leader, possessed Banished Immortal qualifications, and in the East Huangzhou Cultivation World, his power was second only to Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs and the leaders of some Higher Teachings. His status was extraordinary; marrying a few more spouses was hardly a significant matter for him.
