I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 60: Sworn to Follow Each Other to the Death

"Elder Zhi Jian's cultivation is extremely high. If he wants to leave, they shouldn't be able to stop him, right?"

Mu Xiaojin was puzzled. With the elder's cultivation, who could stop him from leaving? He's not even at the Nascent Soul stage.

"I came from the mortal world in search of immortality. If I were to leave just like that, they would be restless and it would likely affect others. Only if my cultivation is crippled and they see me die, will they find peace."

Bai Jingping smiled and explained.

"We cultivators have seen through the past and why should we give up our path for the sake of some people? As long as your cultivation is intact and you're alive, no one would dare to harm those related to you. The threat of someone at the eighth level of the Gold Core stage is not a joke."

Mu Xiaojin spoke up.

"Sister is mistaken. My master is not at the eighth level of cultivation. He has already advanced to the ninth level of the Gold Core stage, and the sect master Ye Chen has reached the peak of the Gold Core stage. His talent is not as good as my master's, and he is afraid that my master will advance to the Nascent Soul stage before him."

Yun Qingying said.

"I see." Mu Xiaojin suddenly understood. Elder Zhi Jian's talent was quite good, and his reputation in Cangwu was extremely high.

If Ye Chen fails to advance to the Nascent Soul stage and Bai Jingping succeeds, then Cangwu will no longer be Ye Family's Cangwu.

"Elder Zhi Jian came from the mortal world and still has relatives there. He doesn't want his people to suffer revenge and slaughter. Moreover, many true disciples in Cangwu consider my master as their faith. If he were to leave, it would definitely cause turmoil in Cangwu, and the hearts of the true disciples would become unstable. There would be internal conflicts, just like the chaos caused by the Cangwu Demon."

"Elder Zhi Jian is righteous!" Mu Xiaojin and Chen Shen both raised their cups to toast Bai Jingping.

The other party's cultivation was extremely high and was once known as the god of Cangwu. If he really rebelled, it was feared that many true disciples would respond.

Ye Family's dominance had long made many people dissatisfied, but due to their strength, they dared not voice their anger.

But Zhi Jian was different. His reputation was too high, and his strength was second only to Ye Chen, just slightly weaker.

If he were to speak out, Cangwu would definitely split into two factions.

Moreover, there were more powerful outsiders than Ye Family members.

But he didn't want to see this happen. Cangwu had just unified the ten countries and was flourishing. If this were to happen, it would definitely cause great suffering and damage to the vitality of the land.

"When I was weak, Cangwu protected me. Although Ye Chen forced me, I can't forget his kindness. I don't want to become his enemy. I'm not worthy of the title of righteousness."

Bai Jingping shook his head, looking very open-minded, as if he didn't hold any grudges against those who forced him.

"Then Elder Zhi Jian should appease the clan members. If they know about your situation and develop hostility towards Cangwu, it could cause a great disaster. You've worked hard for this."

"After my master achieved enlightenment, he never protected the clan. The people in his hometown only know that he is in Cangwu, but they don't know the specifics."

Yun Qingying replied.

It's not about achieving enlightenment and watching the rise and fall of the clouds, it's about walking on thin ice. If one missteps, it could lead to the annihilation of the clan.

At night, Mu Xiaojin secretly entered Chen Shen's room.

"Be cautious. We must not expose our dual cultivation in front of Elder Zhi Jian and the others."

"Also, for proper dual cultivation, why are you taking off my clothes? After a year of exploration, I have already figured out the route. There's no need for that anymore."

"By the way, do you plan to reveal the fact that you have been reborn? If you go back, you can still be the senior sister and shine brightly."

"Is junior brother testing me? My life was given by you. From now on, I will follow you to the death. When I was rejected, my master didn't say a word in my defense. When I was at my peak, she also gained many benefits. The debts and grudges have long been settled. Now, senior sister only wants to cultivate with junior brother and advance to the mid-stage of the true immortal realm, to settle the score with that enemy."

On the second day, news of the Elder Sword Elder's cultivation being abolished and his position as the Elder Sword Elder being stripped spread throughout Cangwu, causing a huge uproar.

"The Elder has worked hard and achieved great things. How could he end up in such a situation?"

"I refuse to accept it. The Elder Sword Elder has always been dedicated to Cangwu, working diligently. How could he rebel? His only son has died, yet you have accused him of protecting his son. How despicable!"

"Cangwu has truly become the Ye family's Cangwu. This is no longer a sect, but the Ye family's gate. If even the Elder Sword Elder is treated like this, we outsiders, the true lords, are afraid that we will follow in his footsteps."

Many true lords were angry and wanted an explanation. Among them, the commotion caused by the Sword Enforcement Peak was the greatest. The true lords and many inner disciples of the sect joined forces and wanted to cause a scene at the First Peak. However, they were stopped by an old man on their way.

"I am the law. From today onwards, I am the Elder Sword Elder of the Law Enforcement Peak!" He looked at the cultivators coldly and said.

The crowd refused to accept it, but immediately felt a tremendous pressure enveloping them all.

Their expressions changed again and again. The other party's cultivation was close to the eighth level of the Gold Core stage!

If Chen Shen were here, he would definitely recognize him. This old man was none other than the grandfather of Ye Shuangman's Dao companion, Ye Shuangman!

Some people also wanted to visit Heaven Burial Mountain, but they were rejected by the Elder Sword Elder.

Moreover, the ones guarding the Heavenly Bridge now were not Qi Refining disciples, but two true lords personally.

It was estimated that they would have to wait until the Elder Sword Elder died before the true lords would leave.

Just a few days after the news came out, many people complained and expressed their dissatisfaction. Some even took off their clothes, intending to go against Cangwu.

But it was too late. If the Elder Sword Elder's cultivation level was still there, there would definitely be a conflict, and the true lords would follow suit.

Unfortunately, now they could only accept their fate and learn to accept it.

At the peak of the First Peak.

"With the abolition of the Elder Sword, my Ye family can enjoy several hundred years of stability."

"Father, with you here, Cangwu will prosper for a thousand years!"

Ye Shuangman said respectfully beside him.

The lifespan of a Gold Core stage cultivator was five hundred years, and that of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator was a thousand years.

What he meant was that Ye Chen would definitely reach the Nascent Soul stage.

"If I were to reach the Nascent Soul stage, it wouldn't matter if Bai Jingping continued to be his Elder Sword Elder. Unfortunately, I dare not gamble and risk the future of the Ye family." Ye Chen sighed.

...

Half a month later, the matter of the Elder Sword Elder began to calm down, and the complaints gradually decreased.

And another matter sparked widespread discussion.

Senior Brother Zhu Ming, the eldest disciple of Cangwu, was about to become a true lord.

It should be noted that this fellow had only been in Cangwu for a few years.

Many people who entered the sect in the same year were still struggling in the outer sect, while Zhu Ming was about to advance to the true lord stage.

This was such a huge gap, yet they had no choice but to accept it.

The last person who attracted so much attention was Lin Shujin, but unfortunately, she did not advance to the true lord stage in the sect. Moreover, there were continuous unexpected news about her afterwards, and her popularity in Cangwu gradually declined.

A new generation replaced the old, and now it was Zhu Ming's era.

It was a big deal for a genius to advance to the true lord stage. As the master, Ye Shuangman was beaming with joy and invited his disciples to come and witness the ceremony.

"I think it will be another grand Transcending Tribulation Conference. I just don't know if there will be a true lord explaining the tribulation this time." Chen Shen looked in the direction of the First Peak and murmured.
