Chapter 221: The Temptation of Love and the Demon Gate (6100 words)
The air suddenly became quiet.
Ji Zidian's face turned red, quickly releasing Wang Xiu's arm and burying his chin into his chest, biting his lips tightly.
"Younger sister, don't be afraid. Brother is here to cover for you!" Ji Jinglei stood up and spoke with righteous words.
He raised his head and walked confidently, staring at Ji Yan above with a smile on his face. "Father, please don't misunderstand. Younger sister and Junior Brother Wang Xiu are not always together! They only occasionally embrace... "
Wang Xiu: "......"
Everyone: "......"
Ji Zidian: "???"
"Uh, what I mean is, they only embrace each other, they haven't done anything else, I stopped them!" Ji Jinglei's eyes rolled around as he quickly tried to explain.
Ji Yan's face grew even darker, and lightning surged around him, with lightning whips appearing all over his body.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ji Zidian angrily stomped on Ji Jinglei's foot.
"I... I... I actually meant to say that there's nothing wrong with embracing each other. Junior Brother Wang Xiu is very serious and won't cause any harm!" Ji Jinglei once again said something shocking.
"Please stop talking!" Ji Zidian felt like dying.
Ji Yan's face turned as black as a coal.
The temperature in the world seemed to drop to freezing point.
"Cough cough... Well, um, this is not the place to talk. Let's go up first and discuss it when we get back!" Gong Shangyu, the head of the Sound Lineage, stepped forward to ease the tension with his gentle and elegant demeanor.
Everyone quickly boarded the flying boat.
The runes around them trembled lightly, and the void twisted as the flying boat directly disappeared into nothingness, heading back towards the Three Purities Immortal Gate.
"Junior Brother Wang Xiu, did I say something wrong?" Ji Jinglei asked in confusion on the flying boat.
"Sigh, no, you said it very accurately!" Wang Xiu covered his forehead, speechless towards Ji Jinglei, afraid that he would say something frightening again.
"I think so too, but why does my father's expression seem off?" Ji Jinglei couldn't figure it out.
"... Maybe he's just introverted!" Wang Xiu made up an excuse.
"Introverted? That's impossible. He has thick skin. He probably just hasn't figured it out yet. In that case... I'll help you persuade him!" Ji Jinglei patted his chest, guaranteeing that he would make Ji Yan change his opinion, accept Wang Xiu, and put Wang Xiu at ease.
"No need, really no need, Senior Brother Ji. Let nature take its course!" Wang Xiu quickly held him back, not allowing him to go.
"Alright!" Ji Jinglei nodded when he saw Wang Xiu's resolute attitude. Then he remembered something and slapped his forehead. "Right, I'll add you to the group!"
"What group?" Wang Xiu was puzzled.
"Of course it's the family group. We are a family sooner or later. You can come in and familiarize yourself with the situation, and also get to know my thirty-plus aunts..." Ji Jinglei's eyes rolled around as he gave suggestions to Wang Xiu.
Although his father had a strong sense of masculinity, he wasn't easily swayed by ordinary pillow talk. But... if more than thirty pillow talks were combined, the effect would definitely be different.
After all, his father still wanted to continue his plan of having many children and blessings. He had to listen to his aunts.
Ji Jinglei was determined to have Wang Xiu.
In the Holy Academy, Wang Xiu had truly stolen the limelight, overshadowing all the geniuses. Given time, he would surely become famous in the South State.
Ji Jinglei felt inferior to Wang Xiu, but...
He was very fortunate that, in terms of talent in Thunder Law, he and Wang Xiu were the same. Although they didn't have any special physique, they both had extraordinary talent.
They were both hidden dragons and phoenixes!
It's not easy to find a confidant in life.
It's even more difficult to find a brother-in-law that he likes and who likes him back.
What more could he ask for?
But Wang Xiu was taken aback. They hadn't even started fighting over the cabbage yet, and Ji Yan's face had turned as black as something.
If this entered the family group chat...
Wouldn't Ji Yan explode instantly?
Just thinking about that scene was terrifying.
"Well... let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later! The sect leader called me, senior brother, I won't chat with you for now!" Wang Xiu waved his sleeve and left.
But he hadn't taken a few steps yet.
The communication token suddenly vibrated.
[Ji Jinglei has invited you to join - A Loving Family!]
Wang Xiu: "!!!"
No, who designed this weird function?
Do you not need consent to add someone to a group chat?
And you don't even need administrator approval!
Wang Xiu was helpless, but since he had already joined, it wouldn't be right to leave now. It would seem like he had something to hide.
Forget it, let's talk about it later!
...
In the main cabin of the flying boat.
The high-level members of the Three Purities Immortal Gate were all present.
From the sect leader Zhuo Canglang to the heads of various branches, their auras were fluctuating, indicating that they had just experienced a great battle.
Not only that, but the four Saints from the Three Purities Immortal Gate who had come out of the Holy Realm with Wang Xiu were also here.
They were waiting here as well.
Looking at Wang Xiu, their faces were full of joy, with warm smiles.
"Oh my, Wang Xiu nephew is here, come over quickly, we were just talking about you!" Zhuo Canglang smiled and pulled Wang Xiu's hand to lead him inside.
Everyone's gaze converged on Wang Xiu.
Incredulous, shocked, hard to believe.
Their gazes roamed over Wang Xiu.
Various emotions were incredibly complex.
They had already heard some of Wang Xiu's deeds from Zhang Yuntin and the others.
Almost made them so surprised that they fainted directly.
Entering the realm of the saints, with his own strength, he overshadowed the brilliance of all the geniuses in the South State.
Even those geniuses on the Gold Core list, such as Li Xuanqi, Zhang Yuge... became Wang Xiu's background.
Comprehending all the secrets of the divine and demonic murals, understanding the heavenly scriptures.
Unprecedented in ancient and modern times.
Bringing down the overwhelming Dao Rhyme, assisting thousands of people in enlightenment!
Even more astonishing, he condensed the rare twelve-colored Nascent Soul, shocking the world.
What's even more amazing is that in the ancient void road, he has already fought against the Demon Race, exposed the Demon Race's plan, destroyed the Demon Race's conspiracy of thousands of years, and saved the lives of hundreds of Saints.
It can be said to have turned the tide.
In the end, when possessed by the true demon of the Demon Race, the Saints tried their best but couldn't solve it. However, he broke through all of this with his own strength and stood in front of everyone.
Each and every one of these things is enough to inspire people and make a genius like him shake the South State, becoming a model for cultivators all over the world.
Now, they have all come together.
They all come from the hands of this young man in front of them.
They all come from this descendant of the Divination Lineage!
The gazes of the first seats were extremely complex.
Even now, it is still somewhat unbelievable that this kid, his city is too deep, such a monster can hide for so many years, and even for a period of time...
He even appeared so mediocre.
Being regarded as a shame by disciples of various sects, but acting like nothing happened.
It's really extraordinary. This child can achieve great things!
...
"Oh, Wang Xiu nephew, let me take a look!"
"Taller, a bit thinner, but also more spirited..."
"This child has been sensible since he was young, and he has even more potential as he grows up!"
"I said a long time ago that Wang Xiu will definitely be extraordinary. How accurate is my judgment?"
The group of first seats was extremely enthusiastic, surrounding Wang Xiu and praising him, wanting to praise him to the heavens and make him the center of attention.
Especially several female first seats who were still charming and beautiful, they were touching Wang Xiu up and down, their faces full of maternal radiance, making Wang Xiu unable to bear it.
Too enthusiastic.
"Alright, alright, you guys, don't scare the child!" Zhang Yunting spoke up, relieving Wang Xiu and pulling him to sit beside him.
Only then did everyone return to their respective positions.
"To win this battle so easily, Wang Xiu nephew has made great contributions. If it weren't for you bringing the seniors back from the realm of the saints, the divine weapons descending from the sky, turning the tide..."
This time, the Demon Race is afraid they will really succeed!" Sound Lineage's first seat, Gong Shangyu, spoke slowly, with a heavy tone and lingering fear.
Everyone felt a sense of unease in their hearts.
This time, the Demon Race made a major breakthrough, tearing open a corner of the seal with ambitious intentions and grand plans.
Although the major Immortal Gates rushed to stop them as soon as possible.
But the enemy's attack was too strong, and it was difficult to suppress for a while. There were countless restless Demon Race within the seal, and the situation at that time was truly critical.
If it weren't for Zhang Yunting and others arriving in time.
Using overwhelming advantage to kill and drive back the demonic horde.
I'm afraid the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain.
If things went wrong, the flames of war would spread again, just like a thousand years ago, burning every corner of the South State.
It could even affect the situation of the entire Ashen Essence World.
Now thinking back, it sends shivers down one's spine and makes one's hair stand on end.
The more so, the more the gazes towards Wang Xiu were filled with incredulous amazement.
Many people hesitated to speak.
They wanted to ask how Wang Xiu managed to ignore the rules of the holy realm and bring the predecessors from thousands of years ago out of it.
But when the words reached their lips, they swallowed them back.
Without even thinking, they knew that this kind of extraordinary method definitely involved some secrets that were often not convenient to talk about.
Even if they were curious, they couldn't ask.
They could only keep it in their hearts, shocked and curious.
"You all overpraise me, I just did my duty and did my best..." Wang Xiu calmly said, suddenly remembering something and asked, "By the way, how is Sea Demon Island now? Has the threat been completely resolved?"
Upon hearing this.
A solemn expression appeared on everyone's faces.
"No, the original seal has been damaged. With our strength, we can only temporarily block the gap with other formations, but it won't hold for long..." Gong Shangyu shook his head and sighed.
This is also unavoidable!
The seal of Sea Demon Island was originally set up by countless powerful individuals from the major Immortal Gates, including many Earth Immortals who took action.
It sacrificed a large number of human strongmen.
Only then was Sea Demon Island isolated from the human world.
This kind of formation is indeed resilient, but once the seal is damaged, it is irreversible unless a new one is set up.
Otherwise... even with the same team, patching it up, the effect will not be as good as before.
In other words.
If they don't come up with a solution and take measures as soon as possible, then the seal of Sea Demon Island will loosen again in no time.
And the next eruption.
Will definitely be more terrifying and difficult to deal with than this time.
After discussing among the Immortal Alliance powerhouses, strong individuals from the major Immortal Gates take turns guarding outside the seal, keeping a close eye on the seal's condition.
To prevent any accidents.
But this still cannot solve the fundamental problem.
"It's not just that!" Dugu Qingqian, the head of the Sword Lineage, wore a tight black long dress, outlining her slender figure. Her pair of snow-white long legs were straight and slender, leaning against a pillar as she stood with a sword in her arms.
Her voice was slightly solemn: "Although we arrived quickly, a large number of Demon Race escaped from the seal and entered the Divine State!"
"These Demon Race have been suppressed for many years. After finally breaking free, they are causing havoc everywhere, like wolves and tigers!"
"The elite experts from various Immortal Gates have already descended the mountain and killed some of the most arrogant ones. However, the remaining Demon Race have become smarter, hiding or colluding with those from the demonic sects... It's difficult to eliminate them for a while!"
As they spoke about this matter, everyone's faces were grave, shaking their heads.
Although these escaped Demon Race do not have the presence of a lord, their strength is not to be underestimated. If one is not careful, they can commit heinous crimes.
Their methods are strange and cunning, surpassing even the demonic cultivators. Ordinary cultivators find it difficult to deal with them.
If they are not cleared out, it will be troublesome.
Not to mention, many Demon Race are now colluding with those from the demonic sects, making it even more difficult to resolve.
As the saying goes, it is easier to catch a thief for a thousand days than to guard against a thief for a thousand days.
Moreover, the threat of Sea Demon Island has not been completely resolved, which is distracting the main focus of the various Immortal Gates, causing a chaotic situation that is headache-inducing.
"Alright, we just won a battle. Don't be so downcast!" Zhuo Canglang, the sect master, spoke loudly, scanning the crowd with his gaze. "The current situation is much better than a thousand years ago... We were able to win back then, and we can definitely win now!"
No matter what, we cannot waver ourselves, otherwise... what will we use to eliminate demons and uphold righteousness, to protect the mortal realm?"
The spirits of the crowd were slightly uplifted as they said in unison, "We will remember the teachings of the sect master!"
"Good!" Zhuo Canglang nodded in satisfaction, then continued, "In this battle, Wang Xiu, my nephew, deserves the most credit! After our discussion, it has been decided to reward him."
"He will receive a reward of one hundred thousand spirit stones, ten Feather Spirit Pills, and three High Grade Spirit Weapons. In addition, all expenses within the sect's branches will be discounted by 40% in the future!"
"Spirit Turtle Peak will enjoy special privileges from now on, lasting for thirty years!"
"And all disciples under the sect will have their treatment upgraded by one level!"
With that, he paused for a moment, looked at Wang Xiu, and smiled, "By the way, in addition to this, you can also choose three seniors from all the branches to guide your cultivation for a hundred years, including the heads of the branches!"
"Thank you, sect master!" Wang Xiu cupped his hands, feeling somewhat surprised. There are rewards too? Is the Immortal Gate being so generous this time?
"These are all well-deserved!" Zhuo Canglang said with a smile, then continued, "There is one more thing. From today onwards, Wang Xiu will be the new Saint Child of our Three Purities Immortal Gate! Does anyone have any objections?"
The room fell slightly quiet.
"I agree!" Dugu Qingqian was the first to speak, her voice cold.
"I agree too!" Gong Shangyu echoed.
"Agreed!"
Then all the leaders responded in unison, and the motion passed unanimously.
This matter had already been decided before the opening of the Ancient Saint Academy, and now it was just going through the motions.
But the weight of those "agrees" shouted by the powerful individuals was completely different from before.
That was complete recognition.
Regardless of talent, strength, influence, or prestige, Wang Xiu was the only candidate for Saint Child.
"Thank you, senior brothers and Uncle-Master. Wang Xiu will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations!" Wang Xiu respectfully bowed, neither humble nor arrogant.
"For Three Purities, since the catastrophe, we haven't had a Saint Child for nearly a thousand years! Now, with the ascension of the Saint Child, it also signifies the turning point for Three Purities, the revival of its former glory!" On Zhuo Canglang's shoulder, a white crow spoke loudly, emitting a divine light and a thunderous voice that could stir people's emotions.
"Restore Three Purities, bring about a turning point!"
"Restore Three Purities, bring about a turning point!"
"Restore Three Purities, bring about a turning point!"
Everyone chanted, their gazes resolute and filled with an unwavering belief, even the other disciples on the flying boat were inspired and shouted in unison.
At this moment, the flying boat emitted a light, dispersing the chaotic mist in the void.
Just like the path ahead for Three Purities, the gloom receded.
"The ceremony for the ascension of the Saint Child will be held in one month! Alright, if there's nothing else, you can all disperse. I have something to discuss with the Saint Child..." Zhuo Canglang, with his hands behind his back,
Everyone dispersed.
"Master, is there anything else you need?" Wang Xiu asked, puzzled.
"There are no outsiders here, no need to be so formal. Just call me senior brother directly!" Zhuo Canglang smiled and patted Wang Xiu's shoulder.
Wang Xiu's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was not right. It seemed like the master was about to make a big move.
"Um... senior brother, if there's nothing particularly important, I'll leave first?" Wang Xiu probed.
"No rush!" Zhuo Canglang rubbed his hands, looking a bit embarrassed. "Little Wang, you're a sensible child, and you should know that Immortal Gate has been having a tough time these years, financially tight... Plus, the Demon Race is on the verge of erupting into war at any moment, and Three Purities needs to be in a state of readiness, especially!"
"If senior brother has something to say, just say it!" Wang Xiu's mouth twitched.
"Cough... It's nothing, just... can you agree to postpone the rewards I promised you for now?" Zhuo Canglang coughed twice and said somewhat sheepishly. "Don't worry, it's not everything, just the pills, Law Treasures, and such. And it's only a temporary delay, I will definitely supply them to you in the future!"
Wang Xiu wiped away a sweat, his face twitching.
Upon careful consideration, besides the pills and Law Treasures that Zhuo Canglang announced as rewards, what else was left?
The special recruitment privilege of Spirit Turtle Peak, which allowed them to prioritize selecting disciples at the next enrollment conference.
For thirty years!
This thing was quite significant for other branches, but for Spirit Turtle Peak, it was completely unnecessary!
Furthermore, the treatment of all disciples at Spirit Turtle Peak has been upgraded by one level.
Currently, there are only two disciples at Spirit Turtle Peak.
Wang Xiu is already a Saint Child himself.
There is no room for further promotion.
Jiang Ling'er, although not a true disciple, is almost like one. Even if she were to be promoted further, it would be meaningless. Even if she became a closed-door disciple, what difference would it make?
Luo Binglan cannot teach her either.
At most, she can receive a few more spirit stones each month.
Hmm, that's not right!
There is another reward. Wang Xiu can choose three strong practitioners from the major branches to practice with for a hundred years.
This is obviously considering Luo Binglan's situation.
It also takes into account that Wang Xiu is unlikely to be willing to transfer to another branch.
It allows Wang Xiu to have a true master.
Leading him in his cultivation.
Providing guidance at any time.
Zhuo Canglang and the others are also afraid that a good talent like Wang Xiu will go to waste.
This reward is quite practical. The higher one goes on the path of cultivation, the more dangerous it becomes.
Even if Wang Xiu encounters difficulties, having a few true Saint-level practitioners guiding his cultivation will still be much better.
Hiss, that's not right...
Wang Xiu suddenly remembered that he is already a Saint Child. Even without this reward, wouldn't Immortal Gate still cultivate him?
Realizing this, Wang Xiu's gaze towards Zhuo Canglang became resentful.
"What about the spirit stones? Are they still owed?"
"Of course not!" Zhuo Canglang straightened his back: "Doesn't Spirit Turtle Peak have a mine? When it's time to deliver to the sect, just deduct a hundred thousand from there!"
Wang Xiu: "..."
"Cough cough cough..." Zhuo Canglang, knowing he was in the wrong, blushed.
"Oh my, this is so embarrassing!" the black crow exclaimed, covering its eyes with its wings.
Well then!
It turns out that despite all the promises, they still owe him!
"Master... you made empty promises..." Fortunately, Wang Xiu knew the situation of Three Purities Immortal Gate and the current circumstances. He didn't blame Zhuo Canglang for anything, he just found it amusing.
Zhuo Canglang awkwardly cleared his throat, although he didn't know what an empty promise meant.
But... he didn't know what he had done wrong?
It would be embarrassing to say it out loud.
"It's not like there's nothing... I have prepared a special gift for you that will surely satisfy you. You will know when you return to Immortal Gate!" Zhuo Canglang said.
Wang Xiu raised an eyebrow, feeling curious. After waiting for a while without hearing any system prompts, he suddenly became eager.
Immortal Gate is so poor that they can't even distribute spirit stones.
What surprise could there be?
"Then I thank you, Senior Martial Brother!" Wang Xiu smiled. Regardless, proper etiquette must be observed.
"By the way, let me add you to the group first!"
"Uh, what group?" Wang Xiu was puzzled.
"The highest-level discussion group of Immortal Gate, only the heads of each branch are qualified to enter. Only matters of special importance are communicated there!" Zhuo Canglang said.
[Ding!]
[A person nearby is bragging. Congratulations, host, for gaining +2999 mana!]
"Then I..."
"You are a Saint Child, with a distinguished status. You have the qualification!" Zhuo Canglang said.
As soon as he finished speaking, it didn't take long.
Wang Xiu's communication token trembled.
[Three Purities Sect Master Zhuo Canglang has invited you to join the group chat - "Always Wanting to Beat the Sect Master"]
Wang Xiu: !!!
This group name!
"Damn it, who the hell secretly changed the group name? Don't let me catch you!"
Zhuo Canglang exploded in anger, his face turning black. In front of Wang Xiu, he changed the group name to "The Temptation of the Demon Race!"
Wang Xiu: "..."
This kind of name makes it difficult for people to associate it with anything serious!
What do these heads talk about in the group every day?
Curiously, Wang Xiu glanced at it.
Several chat records immediately caught his eye.
[Head of Shadow Lineage, Qiu Siying: I didn't pay attention before, but Wang Xiu, my nephew, is really adorable! I happen to be looking for a suitable husband for my eldest disciple...]
[Head of Wine Lineage, Sikong Yang: Are you crazy? He's still a child! Your disciple is already over four hundred years old!]
[Head of Water Lineage, Yan Ruoxia: Exactly, the age difference is too big, they won't be happy. My disciple is just right, only a little over a hundred, a bit older, and knows how to take care of others!]
[Head of Sound Lineage, Gong Shangyu: You all calm down, we're all elders, can't we be more serious? What if this gets out and we lose face?]
[Head of Sword Lineage, Dugu Qingqian: That's right!]
[Head of Shadow Lineage, Qiu Siying: Wow, even Senior Sister Dugu is chatting here! You never used to chat in the group before!]
[Head of Water Lineage, Yan Ruoxia: I understand, Senior Sister Dugu is interested! It's been so many years, Senior Sister Dugu has never found a partner, could it be now?]
[Head of Wine Lineage, Sikong Yang: Are you crazy too? Senior Sister Dugu is already over eight hundred years old!]
[Head of Sword Lineage, Dugu Qingqian: !!!]
"..." Wang Xiu's face twitched repeatedly.
