This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

"Esteemed masters, this matter..."

Upon hearing Master Tianning's question, the group of Maoshan patriarch clones who were discussing the matter immediately stopped their discussion and looked at Master Tianning.

“Tianning, you are the leader of this generation. The ancestor of that otherworldly ghost immortal just now made it very clear that the Fourth Ancestor personally arranged for them to come to our world. We cannot refuse this!”

After one of the patriarch's avatars finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhong Bai.

"Zhong Bai, may we see your position in the underworld?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai did not hesitate and took out his seal as the Inspector of the Yang Realm, with streams of pure Yin energy reverberating within it.

"Not bad. This aura belongs to a Yin official in the Underworld, and a seventh-rank one at that. Although the position is low, it's good that the Underworld acknowledges it."

Zhong Bai was somewhat bewildered. Could it be that the Fourth Ancestor sent him to this world to open up the two realms and then open a passage to the Earthly Immortal Realm?

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Bai looked up and met the gazes of the group of ancestral master clones.

"May I ask you, esteemed masters, what should Zhong Bai do to complete the task entrusted to him by the Fourth Patriarch?"

Upon hearing Zhong Bai's question, all the dozen or so ancestral masters' avatars turned their gazes to him, and then exclaimed in unison, "Primordial Spirit!"

"Zhong Bai, if you want to successfully guide the gods of the underworld to descend, you must first obtain a Yin official position of rank three or above. Since you are already a Yin official in the underworld, you do not need to forcibly seal yourself as a rank three Yin official. You only need to have the cultivation of the primordial spirit realm to go to the underworld to find the seal of a rank three Yin official and then refine it to seal yourself."

This will enable the descent of the gods from the underworld, and only you have the opportunity to accomplish this.

A third-rank Yin official position in the underworld requires a cultivation level of at least the Nascent Soul stage to be granted. Even a powerful immortal ancestor wouldn't be able to guarantee success if someone forcibly claimed it; they might even suffer a backlash. This is why the Fourth Ancestor sent you to this world.

Zhong Bai understood. To put it simply, it meant using himself as an anchor point. However, Zhong Bai felt that it would still take some time to reach the primordial spirit realm.

"Zhong Bai understands!"

Seeing that Zhong Bai had understood the meaning, the group of primordial spirit masters began to discuss the feasibility of going to the Earthly Immortal Realm.

They have been stuck at the Nascent Soul stage for too long, and they also want to break through the bottleneck and become Loose Immortals, or even True Immortals in Heaven!

However, with the world passage closed, they had no way to travel to the Immortal Realm and could only remain in this world, bored out of their minds.

Now, Zhong Bai's arrival is like a breath of fresh air, reviving their dormant thoughts.

The group of primordial spirit masters departed...

Although they had many ideas, Zhong Bai was only at the late Nascent Soul stage, far from the Divine Spirit stage. In fact, the Divine Spirit stage was only theoretically feasible. It was possible that even if Zhong Bai reached the Divine Spirit stage, he still wouldn't be able to appoint himself as a third-rank Yin official, so the timeline would have to be extended.

The good news is that Zhong Bai has excellent talent. He reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm in about sixty years. The ancestral masters of the Primordial Spirit realm estimate that in about three to five hundred years, Zhong Bai may be able to enter the Primordial Spirit realm.

The departure of all the primordial spirit masters does not mean that Zhong Bai will also leave. He still has something to ask Master Tianning!

Inside the empty Yuanfu Wanning Palace, only Zhong Bai and Master Tianning were looking at each other.

Zhong Bai first bowed respectfully before asking questions.

"Sect Leader, before we came here, Elder Su said that you have a way to solve the drawbacks of Nuwa's bloodline."

Is this story true or false?

Upon hearing this, Master Tianning was slightly taken aback, but soon his gaze swept across the entire Maoshan Mountain, taking in Zhao Ling'er, Mo Ling, and the others brought by Zhong Bai.

After understanding the meaning behind Zhong Bai's words, Master Tianning smiled gently and said, "That's right."

Zhong Bai, this matter is easy to explain. The old Taoist and a group of patriarchs have studied the situation of the Shu Mountain Sect Leader. In fact, the solution is very simple. Nuwa's bloodline is inclined towards the Great Way of Water. Therefore, Nuwa's descendants usually serve as priests in the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom to govern rivers, lakes and seas.

The simplest way to resolve the drawbacks of Nuwa's bloodline is to find the Water Spirit Orb among the Five Elements Spirit Orbs and then directly counteract it with Nuwa's bloodline.

By balancing Nuwa's bloodline with the Water Spirit Pearl, one doesn't need to wait until after giving birth to cultivate, and can also preserve the affinity of Nuwa's bloodline for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

However, since that girl is already pregnant, there's no need to rush. After she gives birth, the child can be allowed to completely refine the Water Spirit Orb!

Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai was taken aback. The Water Spirit Orb—it sounded so familiar, but he had no idea where to find it.

"Sect Leader, are you unfamiliar with this Water Spirit Pearl?"

Knowing what Zhong Bai was thinking deep down, Master Tianning didn't try to hide it from him.

"Water Spirit Orb..."

The location of the Water Spirit Orb is unclear in Maoshan, but it's most likely near Shushan or the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom. Finding it shouldn't be difficult; the five elemental orbs can sense each other. Maoshan may not have the Water Spirit Orb, but it does have the Thunder Spirit Orb!

After he finished speaking, Master Tianning took out a purple bead from his pocket. Streams of lightning gathered in the bead, a sight that even Zhong Bai found astonishing.

"These five spirit pearls are all comparable to primordial spirit treasures. When the five spirit pearls are combined, even a rogue immortal ancestor would be interested in collecting them."

Of course, a single Thunder Spirit Orb is of no use to this old Daoist, so I'll give it to you as a token of our goodwill. Since we've just arrived in this world, let's help each other as fellow disciples. Zhong Bai, please accept it!

After saying that, he handed the Thunder Spirit Orb in his hand to Zhong Bai.

Zhong Bai did not refuse, as that would seem hypocritical; he needed the Thunder Spirit Orb to locate the Water Spirit Orb.

"Zhong Bai thanks the sect leader!"

Master Tianning smiled faintly.

"No need for thanks. By the way, old Taoist temple, you cultivate the Shangqing Dragon Elephant Technique, so I imagine your need for demon beast essence blood is also quite high. Maoshan may not have anything else, but when it comes to demon beast essence blood..."

Even the old Taoist priest once killed a Nascent Soul Demon Saint, not to mention the patriarchs in the Nine Heavens Palace of Ten Thousand Blessings.

Here's some essence blood from a demon saint at the Nascent Soul stage. Take it and refine it first. If you need more, come back. At worst, this old Daoist will personally make a trip to the Myriad Demon Palace. I'm sure those old fellows will be willing to give me some essence blood.”

Master Tianning spoke casually, but only Zhong Bai understood the meaning behind it.

They just went to the Demon Palace without a second thought; they really don't take them seriously!
"Zhong Bai understands!"

......................................................

As Zhong Bai left Yuanfu Wanning Palace, the faint smile on Tianning Shangren's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a deep gaze.

"It is the will of Heaven, Fourth Ancestor. I hope you can truly descend to this world with the help of Zhong Bai. I have been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for five hundred years and also wish to become a true immortal in the heavens..."

Sigh, but Zhong Bai's ancestral eyes are really good. He himself is also very lucky. One of his two girls has the bloodline of a phoenix, which is probably the younger sister of Mo Chen from the Feathered Immortal Mansion.

To be able to lay the groundwork in the underworld before even knowing the Fourth Patriarch's plan... what incredible luck!

"By the way, the girl with Nuwa's bloodline is no less impressive. She comprehends the universe, and even after achieving the Nascent Soul stage, she can maintain a respectable cultivation speed."

"Fine, then, we'll just have to wait..."

......................................................

After Zhong Bai left Yuanfu Wanning Palace, he sensed the presence of Mo Ling and Zhao Ling'er and arrived at a mountain peak. There was a palace on the mountain peak. Although it was not as magnificent as Yuanfu Wanning Palace, it was more than enough to serve as a small home for the three of them.

Upon entering the hall, they saw Elder Su Li directing a group of fifteen- or sixteen-year-old disciples as they set up everything in the hall, while Mo Ling and Zhao Ling'er stood beside Elder Su watching this scene. Seeing Zhong Bai return, Elder Su stood up.

"Daojun is back?"

Zhong Bai nodded.

"Thank you for your help, Elder Su."

"Hahaha, no trouble at all. I heard that all the elders who went to Yuanfu Wanning Palace had to have part of their memories erased after they returned. That feeling is not pleasant. I'm glad I can avoid it!"

"Alright, boys, once you've settled everything, come with me!"

Elder Su gave a shout, and the group of young disciples nodded in response.

After everyone left, Mo Ling stepped forward and took Zhong Bai's arm.

"Husband, are you okay?"

Zhao Ling'er also looked concerned. Zhong Bai shook his head and said, "It's alright, Mo'er, Ling'er. You two may have to stay in Maoshan for a while, but after Ling'er gives birth, we will be able to come and go from Maoshan normally."

Zhong Bai didn't know if he could leave Maoshan now, after all, he was carrying the plans of the Four Ancestors, and the Nascent Soul experts like Tianning Shangren were probably not at ease with him.

"It's alright. As long as I can be with my husband, I don't care where we live. Besides, Maoshan is a sacred place, and we are both very happy!"

Mo Ling comforted her, saying that there was still about a year and a half until her wedding with Zhong Bai, and as long as they could hold the ceremony in the underworld, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Nodding, Zhong Bai relaxed his nerves.

"Alright, then we'll stay in Maoshan for a while!"

After Zhong Bai finished speaking, he looked at the Thunder Spirit Pearl and the essence blood of the Primordial Spirit Demon Saint in his hand. He also needed time to digest them.

Time passed bit by bit.

For three months, Zhong Bai stayed in Maoshan, occasionally leaving to kill minor demons after he ran out of demon-slaying points.

Such days can be described as extremely comfortable. With the help of the Demon Extermination Points to accelerate the refining of essence blood, Zhong Bai is getting closer and closer to the fifth level of the Dragon Elephant Technique. In addition, there is the Thunder Spirit Orb.

Zhong Bai initially intended to refine the Thunder Spirit Pearl, but the Thunder Spirit Pearl seemed unwilling to be refined by Zhong Bai, only occasionally releasing some thunder essence for Zhong Bai to devour.

As a result, Zhong Bai's cultivation speed increased rapidly.

......................................................

Inside the hall, Mo Ling looked at the Demon-Slaying Sword in her hand with a helpless expression.

Even though Mo Ling didn't actively summon her elder brother, after several months, Mo Chen Saint Lord still decided to take the initiative to see where his sister was, but his divine soul couldn't directly descend.

With a slight sigh, Mo Ling drew the Demon-Slaying Sword, and in an instant, a fragment of Mo Chen Saint Lord's soul appeared before her.

Upon seeing her elder brother, Mo Ling felt a sense of worry.

"Brother, let's get to the point. This is Maoshan. The higher-ups here must know you're here."

Mo Chen was slightly taken aback. No wonder he couldn't descend directly. It turned out that his little sister had already arrived at Maoshan. Maoshan existed in a separate space. Even if he was at the Nascent Soul stage, he wouldn't have the ability to break in. After all, it's easy to get in but difficult to get out.

"Ahem, little sister, what brings you and Zhong Bai to Maoshan?"

"Ah, it's a long story, brother..."

After briefly recounting his experiences over the past period, Mo Chen finally understood what had happened. He looked at Zhao Ling'er, whose belly was already slightly heaving, not far away, and then turned to his little sister.

"Little sister, do you agree to this?"

Knowing what her older brother was talking about, Mo Ling nodded.

"Yes, elder brother, this is something I agreed to. Ling'er is very innocent, and similarly, having her follow our husband will make it easier for him to comprehend the world in the future..."

Of course, it's better to guide than to suppress. It's always better for Ling'er to take the initiative to find someone for her husband than to be forced to accept it.

Mo Chen felt somewhat helpless after hearing this.

"Little sister, you don't have to suffer like this, big brother..."

"No!"

Mo Ling smiled brightly.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

I don't feel wronged at all. I already said that I agreed to let Ling'er keep me company. It's good to have a sister around. Ling'er is innocent and kind. She can keep me company when her husband is not around.

fine."

Seeing that Mo Ling had said this, what else could Mo Chen do?
After glancing at Zhao Ling'er again, and seeing her Nuwa bloodline and her innocent eyes, Mo Chen finally felt relieved.

"Alright, little sister, you can decide this matter yourself. Besides seeing you, there's another thing I need to discuss with Maoshan. After all, your marriage can't be taken lightly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Chen heard a clear greeting in his mind.

"Holy Lord Mo Chen, now that you're here, please come to the palace for a chat!"

After Master Tianning's voice rang out, Mo Chen revealed a faint smile.

"Alright, little sister, the leader of Maoshan Sect has some matters to discuss with my elder brother. You can continue with your business..."

After saying this, the wisp of Mo Chen Saint Lord's divine soul transformed into a stream of light and disappeared from the spot.

......................................................

Yuanfu Wanning Palace.

The Tianning Sect Leader sat casually in the head seat, with the Mo Chen Saint Lord sitting opposite him in the void.

In fact, all the powerful beings of the Primordial Spirit realm know each other, or at least have heard of each other.

"Mo Chen greets the Venerable One!"

Facing Master Tianning, Mo Chen was the first to pay his respects. Although they were both at the Nascent Soul stage, Mo Chen knew exactly how terrifying the Maoshan Sect Leader was; they were not even in the same league.

"Hahaha, Holy Lord Mo Chen, there's no need to be so polite. All guests are guests, and we all understand that you've come to Maoshan to see your sister."

By the way, I heard that in about a year, Mo Ling will be getting married to Zhong Bai. Maoshan can't be absent from that day. What does Your Majesty think?

Upon hearing this, Mo Chen Shengjun was somewhat surprised, after all, Maoshan was different from an individual, representing the entire Maoshan as Zhong Bai's backer!
