Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1064 Immortal Descendant
In the blink of an eye, the beautiful figure had already flown close.

She was dressed in a silver-white palace dress, with wisps of white light surrounding her like ribbons.

Her beauty was so striking that even the bright moon in the sky paled in comparison.

A pair of beautiful eyes, as bright and sparkling as the stars and the moon.

Her temperament was ethereal and otherworldly, like a fairy descended from the moon palace.

It was none other than the goddess Zhu Lingyun.

Having been cursed by the Heavenly Gods, she has now been reborn from the ashes.

Ning Fa stared intently at her, his eyes filled with excitement, his heart brimming with a thousand words, yet for a moment he was at a loss for words.

The little girl in his arms looked back and forth between the two of them with her big eyes, and suddenly exclaimed, "Father, Mother, what's wrong with you? Don't you recognize me?"

As if reminded, Ning Fa looked at Zhu Lingyun and said in a deep voice, "Lingyun, you're finally awake."

This intimate address made Zhu Lingyun frown slightly, but she still nodded gently and said, "I must thank you for your risky journey to Tianli to find the Thousand Soul Grass and for refining the Soul Pill for me. Otherwise, Le'er and I might not have made it to wake up."

At this point, a complex look appeared in Zhu Lingyun's beautiful eyes.

Ningfa shook his head and said, "You are my Daoist partner, and Le'er is our daughter. It is only right that I do this. There is no need to be so formal."

Zhu Lingyun frowned again, then sighed softly, "Our affair was just a coincidence. Let's not talk about being Daoist partners anymore."

Seeing this, Ning Fa couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. Sure enough, he knew it wouldn't be that easy.

Hearing this, Le'er became anxious. She quickly flew to Zhu Lingyun's side, grabbed her hand tightly, and said nervously, "Mother, what's wrong? Don't you want Father anymore? Le'er finally got to see Father."

As she spoke, Le'er burst into tears again.

Zhu Lingyun looked at Le'er, her eyes immediately filled with doting affection. The original fairy of the moon palace instantly transformed into a loving mother.

She wiped away Le'er's tears and said softly, "Le'er, you're still young and don't understand adult matters, but no matter what, we are your parents, and that will never change."

Ning Fa looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Ling Yun, don't you understand my feelings for you? Now that we have consummated our marriage and have Le'er, why won't you accept me?"

Zhu Lingyun's black hair fluttered in the wind, and a complex look appeared once again in her beautiful, star-like eyes. She sighed softly, "I have never thought of becoming a Daoist partner with anyone else, and even now I haven't changed my mind, and..."

At this point, Zhu Lingyun stopped talking.

Ning Fa's heart sank. Although Zhu Lingyun hadn't finished speaking, he roughly understood what she meant.

If he were all alone, Zhu Lingyun might agree to become his Daoist partner for the sake of their child.

The problem is that Ning Fa already has other Daoist partners, and quite a few of them, which is obviously unacceptable to Zhu Lingyun.

However, Ning Fa quickly regained his composure. He stared intently at Zhu Lingyun and declared, "Lingyun, I will definitely make you change your mind."

Zhu Lingyun frowned, but did not say anything more.

At this moment, Le'er quietly looked at Ning Fa and whispered, "Father, keep going! Le'er will help you in the future. Mother loves Le'er the most."

Ning Fa smiled and didn't press the matter further. He changed the subject and asked, "Lingyun, how are you doing now? Has the Nine Li God-Sealing Curse really been completely broken?"

Zhu Lingyun glanced at Ning Fa with a hint of helplessness at his continued use of affectionate terms, then nodded gently.

Ning Fa immediately asked again, "Have you really mastered the Nirvana Soul and Primordial Spirit Technique on the complete Primordial Soul Dividing Technique?"

"Yes, I have to thank Le'er for her help, and also for the Soul-Curving Pill with one pattern that you refined for me before, otherwise it would have been very difficult for me to cultivate it successfully."

Ning Fa asked nervously, "Did you notice anything unusual?"

A hint of reminiscence appeared in Zhu Lingyun's eyes as she slowly said:

“I know what you’re worried about. Actually, when I had cultivated the Nirvana Soul Technique to the point of being more than halfway through, I had already broken through the Nine Li God Sealing Curse.”

However, since then, an evil force has been trying to invade my soul. If it had succeeded, I would likely have become a mindless puppet.

But thankfully, Le'er helped me defeat that evil force.

At this point, Zhu Lingyun looked at Le'er with affection.

At this moment, Le'er had already swooped down and sat on Ning Fa's shoulder, raising her little face and proudly showing Ning Fa her praise, "Father, wasn't Le'er great?"

Ning Fa looked at his daughter with astonishment; it seemed that Le'er's extraordinary qualities were beyond his imagination.

That evil power was undoubtedly left behind by that powerful ancient immortal, yet it was actually broken by Le'er.

Ningfa asked Le'er in surprise, "How did you help your mother?"

Le'er tilted her head and said, "I can't explain it either, and I feel that there were other forces helping my mother besides me at that time."

Ning Fa was even more surprised and couldn't help but look at Zhu Lingyun.

At this moment, Zhu Lingyun's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "That's right. Even with Le'er's help, that force is still very strong, and the situation is critical."

However, at that moment, the power of the moon's radiance around me suddenly became extremely dense, and with its help, I was able to completely defeat that force.

But even now I don't know why. Was it just a coincidence that I encountered a strange celestial phenomenon, or was someone secretly helping me...?

Ning Fa frowned upon hearing this; it seemed that things behind this were not as simple as he had thought.

He didn't ask too many questions, after all, at this moment, it was just important that Zhu Lingyun and Le'er were safe and sound.

Ning Fa said in a deep voice, "The ancient immortal's unpredictability cannot be fathomed by common sense, and he may very well rise from the ashes."

I've obtained for you the Soul-Deriving Divine Spring, as well as the powerful soul-cultivating secret technique from the former Blood Heaven Sect—the Primordial Soul Dharma. Once you successfully cultivate it, you won't need to fear that ancient immortal anymore.

As he spoke, Ning Fa handed Zhu Lingyun several clean bottles containing the Soul-Deriving Divine Spring, along with a jade slip.

Zhu Lingyun was taken aback at first, looking at Ning Fa with a complicated expression. She naturally knew the value of these two items, and for a moment she did not reach out to take them.

At this moment, Le'er's eyes lit up, and she immediately flew over, grabbed the items, and pushed them into Zhu Lingyun's hands without saying a word.

"Mother, if you treat Father so formally, Le'er will get angry!" Le'er said, hands on her hips and a stern face.

Zhu Lingyun smiled helplessly and put the things away anyway.

Just then, the sound of wind breaking rang out, and two figures flew close by; they were Luo Feixuan and Tianbao Xianshang.

Luo Feixuan scrutinized the family of three, especially staring intently at Zhu Lingyun, causing the latter to frown slightly and glance indifferently at Ning Fa, clearly indicating that she had misunderstood.

Ning Fa couldn't help but smile bitterly, blaming it on his reputation.

He was about to introduce her. But at this moment, Tianbao Immortal Merchant, who had been calm and composed as if nothing could stir his heart, suddenly changed his expression upon seeing Le'er and stared intently at her.

Le'er's little face immediately showed fear, and she flew behind Ning Fa with a whoosh, peeking out her little head to look at him.

Zhu Lingyun also frowned and moved closer to Ning Fa, as she also sensed the unfathomable depth of Tianbao Immortal Merchant.

"Don't be afraid, Le'er. Fellow Daoist Tianbao is Father's friend."

Ning Fa smiled and said something to Le'er, then looked at Tianbao Immortal Merchant in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Tianbao, what's going on?"

He noticed that Tianbao, who was usually as dull as a block of wood, was now filled with surprise and delight, which made him wary.

At this moment, Tianbao Immortal Merchant turned to look at Luo Feixuan and said in an unquestionable tone, "Fellow Daoist Luo, please step aside for a moment. I need to discuss a transaction, which has nothing to do with you."

Luo Feixuan raised her eyebrows slightly, gave Zhu Lingyun another deep look, and then drifted away.

Ningfa frowned deeply. Could the transaction Tianbao mentioned be related to Le'er?

At this moment, Tianbao Xianshang had already cast that unique golden silk mesh soundproofing spell again, and he said in a deep voice:

“Fellow Daoist Ning, your daughter is a descendant of immortals.”

After saying that, he sighed, "Even in the Spirit Realm, immortal descendants are extremely rare. I never imagined that an immortal descendant would be born in the lower realm where spiritual energy is so scarce."

Ning Fa and Zhu Lingyun exchanged bewildered glances; neither of them had ever heard of this name.

Judging from Tianbao's words, it seems that the Immortal Descendants are a very powerful race in the Spirit Realm. Just the fact that they can shock Tianbao Immortal Merchant so much shows that they are extraordinary.

But the problem is that both of them are genuine humans, so how could Le'er be a descendant of immortals?

"Could Fellow Daoist Tianbao explain this more clearly?" Ning Fa asked anxiously.

At this moment, Tianbao Xianshang regained his composure and explained:

"The descendants of immortals are not the bloodline descendants you imagine. They are more like the spiritual roots of cultivators, determined by the heavens. Once chosen by the Great Dao, they automatically become members of the immortal race."

Each immortal descendant possesses incredible cultivation aptitude, and some even have extremely powerful racial talents.

Basically, as long as they don't die young, they can grow into high-level cultivators, and they are generally no match for cultivators of the same level.

In some respects, the Immortal Descendants are even stronger than many True Spirit Descendants.

Such extraordinary advantages are why they are called descendants of immortals.

Therefore, even though the number of Immortal Descendants in the Spirit Realm is small, they are still a force to be reckoned with. However, the Immortal Descendants have always been extremely mysterious, and what the outside world knows about them is currently only the tip of the iceberg.

Ning Fa was stunned. Although he had expected that Le'er's talent was extraordinary, it seemed that he had been too conservative.

This Immortal Clan sounds incredibly powerful, even surpassing many True Spirit descendants.

At this moment, Tianbao Immortal Merchant pointed to the striking nine-colored spirit flower pattern on Le'er's forehead and said, "This is the unique symbol of the Immortal Descendant Clan - the Immortal Extreme Flower."

By this time, Le'er was already a little scared. She peeked out from behind Ning Fa and shouted, "I'm not some immortal descendant, I'm a human!"

Zhu Lingyun also calmed down a bit from her shock. As if she had thought of something, she immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist, from what you're saying, is it that the Immortal Descendant Clan will actively seek out awakened members of their clan and bring them back to the clan?"

At this point, Zhu Lingyun clenched her hands tightly, her face full of tension.

Ning Fa's heart also tightened suddenly.

Tianbao Immortal Merchant nodded: "That's right. Every awakened Immortal Descendant will be sensed by the clan, and then someone will be sent to guide them, and all original relationships will be severed."

"No, I don't want to be a descendant of immortals! I want to stay by my father and mother's side forever!" Le'er burst into tears upon hearing this.

Zhu Lingyun's pretty face turned snow-white in an instant.

Ning Fa took a deep breath, forcibly calming himself, and immediately asked, "Could they possibly send someone down to the mortal realm?"

Tianbao Immortal Merchant thought for a moment and said, "I have never heard of the birth of immortal descendants in such a lower realm, so I don't know if they can sense it."

If it were any other lower realm, perhaps it would be possible, but the human realm is currently sealed off by a powerful force. There might be a way to sneak into the spirit realm, but it's unlikely the spirit realm could send anyone down, and it's very possible the immortal descendants wouldn't even be able to detect it.

Hearing this, Ning Fa and Zhu Lingyun both breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Fa could only smile wryly; his two children were truly extraordinary, one more so than the other.

His son had already attracted the covetous eyes of extraterrestrial demons before his birth, and his daughter was even a member of the legendary immortal race. Now, he actually hoped that they only possessed ordinary spiritual roots.

At this moment, the Heavenly Treasure Immortal Merchant looked at Ning Fa and said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Ning, I would like to make a deal with your daughter, this newborn immortal descendant. Given that she is still young, I would like to ask for your opinion first."

"What kind of deal?" Ning Fa frowned, realizing why Tianbao Immortal Merchant had been so overjoyed just now.

Tianbao Immortal Merchant frankly said, "To be honest, I did come from the Spirit Realm. I had to flee to this realm because I fought with a powerful enemy."

During the process, one of my most precious treasures was severely damaged.

I have been trying to fix it for many years, but I have never succeeded.

However, once your daughter advances to the Nascent Soul stage, she should be able to awaken the unique abilities of the Immortal Descendant race.

In this way, it is very likely that they will be able to fully restore that treasure, or at least restore most of it.

So the deal I'm looking for is a promise: I hope that your daughter, after she advances to the Divine Transformation stage, will be able to help me repair this treasure.

In return, the original cost you paid can be increased by extending the length of your employment with me.

In other words, five drops of Star River Essence Dew and twenty top-grade Water Spirit Stones can hire me for a hundred years.

Furthermore, if my treasure is repaired as a result, then I can agree to your previous question about whether I can ascend to the Spirit Realm with you.”

Ning Fa was shocked to hear this. Tianbao Immortal Merchant had increased the original lifespan tenfold, which meant that his existing source points could be used to hire him for another five hundred years. That would be a really good deal.

Zhu Lingyun frowned slightly as she looked at Ning Fa, opening her mouth as if to speak.

At this moment, Ning Fa frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Tianbao, will Le'er pay a huge price to help you repair the treasure, such as damaging her own essence?"

Zhu Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief, and her gaze towards Ning Fa softened considerably.

Tianbao Immortal Merchant calmly said, "You can rest assured about that. It may cause her to lose some vital energy, but it will definitely not damage her origin."

And to be honest, once your daughter advances to the Nascent Soul stage, with her celestial lineage, I'm afraid no one in this world will be able to do anything to her, including me.

If you're still not comfortable with this, I have a fifth-tier Taiyi Divine Contract here; we can sign this agreement.
