The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter "1178"
<h1text-align:" center"=""><spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chapter 1178: Death Mountain?
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After a moment of contemplation, Shuang Jiang spoke decisively to the Netherghost Emperor.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"We can agree to cooperate with you. However, I expect you to share all the information you have with us. And you must lead us to the location of the problem immediately.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">I hope you understand that honesty is paramount in our cooperation.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If I discover even the slightest deception, not only will our cooperation end, but I will level this island of yours.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">You know very well that as the Seventh Stage Immortal Emperor, you cannot stop me."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Before she even finished speaking, an overwhelming aura of a Seventh Stage Immortal Emperor emanated from her, enveloping the entire island.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The hidden Immortal King-level ghost cultivators scattered around the island were instantly shaken, and their gaze turned to the source of this immense pressure.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, instead of being angered by Shuang Jiang's forceful declaration, the Netherghost Emperor seemed even more pleased.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Hahaha, I've been waiting for these words from fellow Daoist Shuang Jiang. Although I am a ghost cultivator, I value honesty above all else.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">I have gone to great lengths to bring you here because I want a true partnership."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With that, the Netherghost Emperor rose from his bone throne.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Raising one hand to the sky and the other to the ground, he solemnly swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Being part of the Immortal Realm, Nethersea was still bound by the rules of the Heavenly Dao.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Unless one had transcended the Dao, such oaths were unbreakable.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">By making this oath, the Netherghost Emperor demonstrated his sincerity.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With a few words, the cooperation was sealed.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although no one knew how long this alliance would last, Qin Tian, who was still seated at the stone table, felt a chill run down his spine.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He had just witnessed an earth-shattering event - an Immortal Emperor from the Cultivation World forming an alliance with a Netherghost Emperor from Nethersea! I
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">f this news were to spread, no one in Nethersea City would believe it.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Selling this information to the Intelligence Pavilion would undoubtedly bring a huge reward.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"I, Qin Tian, swear by the Heavenly Dao that I will never reveal what I have seen today. If I break this oath, may my cultivation stagnate, and may I be struck by heavenly lightning and die a miserable death!"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Qin Tian hastily made his own oath, though neither Shuang Jiang nor the Netherghost Emperor paid much attention to him.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He was terrified. Every word he had heard today was a secret far beyond his level.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Under normal circumstances, hearing such things would be a death sentence for a cultivator of his rank.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Netherghost Emperor could kill him without a second thought, and no one would question it. After all, who would expect the Nethersea Ghost Cultivators to need a reason to kill?
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, Shuang Jiang and the others were somewhat surprised by his actions.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"No one will harm you. Besides, we still need your map to find the entrance to Death Mountain,"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen said, standing up and giving Qin Tian a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He understood Qin Tian's fear - it was the helplessness of a weakling caught in a gathering of powerhouses. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Su," Qin Tian said, his gratitude evident.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing the urgency in their expressions, the Netherghost Emperor spoke again.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Since you all seem to be in a hurry, let's not waste any more time here. I'll take you to meet some other friends in the Nethersea."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang had no objections, but Qin Tian's face turned pale once again.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Um... Lady Shuang Jiang, Lord Netherghost Emperor, perhaps... perhaps I should wait here for you to finish your business. My meager cultivation won't be of any help and might even be a burden."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although staying on the island surrounded by Immortal King-level ghost cultivators was still terrifying, it was better than following Su Jingzhen and the others into what he assumed would be a suicide mission.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In his eyes, no matter what they were planning, his chances of survival as an Immortal Lord were slim to none.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"As you wish," Shuang Jiang said curtly.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She wasn't keen on letting Qin Tian die just yet, especially before they reached Death Mountain and found the Primordial Divine Spring.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Relieved, Qin Tian quickly scurried away to find a hiding spot he deemed safe.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen shook his head with a faint smile, but said nothing more.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Under the Netherghost Emperor's guidance, Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang ventured back into the Nethersea.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This time, however, the Nether Souls that gathered around them, though more numerous and agitated, did not dare to attack.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Instead, their crimson eyes seemed to burn with a strange fervor, and they even cleared a path for the group as they moved forward.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As they progressed, Su Jingzhen's divine consciousness began to perceive the Nethersea more clearly.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Netherghost Emperor had lifted all the ghost walls he had previously set up, allowing Su Jingzhen's and Shuang Jiang's divine senses to further extend.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They noticed that the Nethersea was dotted with numerous islands, each inhabited by powerful ghost cultivators quietly pursuing their cultivation.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As the Netherghost Emperor had said, not all ghost cultivators were violent. Many, especially those who had reached a certain level of cultivation, were devoted to the Dao.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Soon, under the Netherghost Emperor's guidance, they arrived at another massive island, similar in size to the previous one. This island was also home to a Netherghost Emperor.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Netherghost, you've brought outsiders into Nethersea?" a deep, ancient voice echoed as soon as they set foot on the island.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Netherghost smiled and replied, "Our strength alone is insufficient to deal with the changes occurring in the Nethersea. Seeking outside help is our only option.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chi Yuan, don't be stubborn. This is the Hall Master of the Extreme Ice Hall, a Seventh Stage Immortal Emperor.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With her power, we might just be able to suppress those things. At the very least, cultivators from outside Nethersea are still part of the Immortal Realm.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In that sense, we are on the same side."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he spoke, Netherghost led Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang to the center of the island, where another throne stood.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seated on it was a hunchbacked old man.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although his form was that of a ghost, it was so solid that it was indistinguishable from a physical body. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⚑fire.net
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The aura he exuded was at the level of the Fifth Stage Immortal Emperor, even stronger than Netherghost.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Seventh Stage Immortal Emperor!" the old man, Chi Yuan, muttered, his expression turning grave. "Can we trust them?"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Netherghost waved his hand. "We have to try."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Very well. In that case, bring them along. The others are barely hanging on."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chi Yuan nodded in acknowledgement to Shuang Jiang and Su Jingzhen before leading the group deeper into the Nethersea.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang exchanged glances, their expressions grave.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It was clear that both Chi Yuan and the Netherghost were in a hurry. The situation in Nethersea seemed dire.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After less than an incense stick's worth of time, they stopped.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Nethersea here was eerily calm, with not a single Nether soul in sight.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chi Yuan glanced at Shuang Jiang once more before nodding to the Netherghost.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The two of them unleashed a surge of pure ghost energy, and the calm Nethersea suddenly churned with towering waves. A ghostly barrier materialized before them.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Through the barrier, Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang caught a glimpse of a towering black mountain.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Their hearts stirred. If their guess was correct, then this was none other than the legendary Death Mountain.
