Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

There were some who had hoped to express their own opinions, not to change anything, but simply to gain some exposure for their faction and to ask for more in the annual budget. However, upon hearing these words, they immediately held their tongues.

Seeing that there were no objections, Duan Wuya nodded his head, signaling the end of this gathering.

Then, the young master of the sword quietly approached and said, "Hey, haven't you always complained about how that young girl isn't focused on cultivation, which has caused you great dissatisfaction?"

"Her cultivation is unsatisfactory; does it even amount to a tenth of the progress she's made in her Sword Dao realm? Nevertheless, attaining over two hundred years' worth of power in four years, inflicting a great blow to the vitality of Sword Disciple Mountain, is enough to suppress all my dissatisfaction," said Duan Wuya with a complex tone.

To him, his father-in-law's achievement of a hundred years' worth of power before the age of seventy was already remarkable, especially when the only person more formidable was Su Huan'an of Nan Jian.

"Are you considering trading your daughter for glory?" the young master exclaimed in surprise.

Duan Wuya looked at the young master expressionlessly and then sighed softly, "I have discussed this matter with my father-in-law several times. We've also been trying to make contact in secret. We've now ascertained that our ancestors who ascended all those years ago have likely met with misfortune.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

At present, Sword Disciple Mountain, Guan He Xi Tuo Mountain, and other sects have probably established contact with their Ancestors. Especially for Sword Disciple Mountain, the new leader is very likely an Ancestor who has returned."

Although he didn't associate much with Su Huan'an, seeing as Su Huan'an and his father-in-law were of the same generation, he was well aware that unless an Ancestor returned, no one could expect the esteemed Nan Jian to yield power so easily!

For cultivators, power always lies in strength. And coincidentally, Nan Jian actually took quite a liking to power.

To be precise, Su Huan'an still needs power right now.

Because it was precisely by wielding the power of Sword Disciple Mountain that Su Huan'an was able to enter the realm of the Sword Master of Heaven and Earth and continually make brave advancements afterward.

So, unless Su Huan'an is willing to give up the pursuit of advancing further in the Sword Dao realm, it is certain that he would not give up his control over Sword Disciple Mountain.

"Why are you telling me this?" the young master felt a subtle sense of predicament, not because his own father didn't involve him in such discussions, but because whenever Duan Wuya spoke to him like this, he would end up running ragged.

Like the time he had accompanied Dongdong running all over the place before. Did they really think that a young girl looking for loopholes could succeed on her own? It was only because her parents had intentionally left room for her to do so.

"Send these messages to Demon Lord Tan, will you? If possible, I would like to meet with him," Duan Wuya said, expressing not only his own intention but also that of his father-in-law and most of Heavenly Sword Mansion.

"A betrothal?" the young master asked eagerly, which is why it's clear that despite being of the direct lineage, he doesn't understand many things better than an outsider—it's not without reason.

Duan Wuya remained expressionless and did not reply, but simply gestured for him to look behind.

The young master turned and saw, sure enough, a small girl also with an expressionless face, her clear, bright eyes intently staring at him.

The young master: "..."

Two deadpans!

...

Luoja Mountain.

This was a land where many myths of the Jiawu Realm converged, and on this day, as the people of the Immortal Sect and Terrestrial Immortal Cave Mansion ascended Luoja Mountain together, Luoja Mountain finally reestablished contact with their Ancestor.

Not just Luoja Mountain's, but also the Immortal Sect's, Terrestrial Immortal Cave Mansion's, and even Jinglong Cave Heaven's, which had not arrived.

Only Heavenly Sword Mansion's was absent.

"Disciples pay respects to all the Ancestors! Elders!"

Not only the young representatives of the Immortal Sect and Terrestrial Immortal Cave Mansion arrived, but also a few older cultivators who acted as Guardians under the guise of accompanying them.

These elder cultivators, except for that Demon Lord, far surpassed the entourage of Long Zhangyuan in overall strength.

Because they were all at the century-tier level of cultivation.

Moreover, among those who came, there was one who had attained the rank of Terrestrial Immortal.

The rank of Terrestrial Immortal is a unique result of the practice in Terrestrial Immortal Cave Mansion, comparable to Sword Dao realms, but not as inherently offensive and combative.

Most of the Terrestrial Immortal Cave Mansion's Terrestrial Immortal ranks focused on longevity and profound Divine Skills.

For instance, this Terrestrial Immortal who ascended to Luoja Mountain had bestowed his rank on longevity, since he was a cultivator from three hundred years ago.

His seniority was such that he could call those Ascenders who had attained the Triple Certifications as "junior brother" or "fellow Daoist."

At this moment, amidst a scene of auspiciousness, within several indistinct figures revealing themselves, two of them recognized the identity of this Terrestrial Immortal and immediately greeted him with a smile, "It turns out to be our junior brother Kong Fa; after so many years, how did we become strangers?"

Another recognizer followed, "Junior brother Kong Fa has attained the Terrestrial Immortal rank; truly not lacking in aptitude. If not for the restrictions of heaven and earth, you would have already reached immortality long ago."

Upon hearing this, Kong Fa was overjoyed, and even after living for over three hundred years, he was still somewhat excited.

After all, in the vast Jiawu Realm, who else could receive the honorable address of "junior brother" from these Ascenders?

"A master is respected for their talent; how could Kong Fa presume!" Kong Fa quickly replied, his words bearing a sense of righteousness, transforming a reluctance to speak into a bold declaration of "how could I?"

Even under the influence of the Triple Certifications, Kong Fa did not know which two of his seniors they were.

But this reunion made the other figures displeased, and one interrupted, "Communicating with the Lower Realm is not easy; let's focus on the important matters."
