Mortal: Copying the entry, reborn as Linghu Patriarch

"You two have both broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Linghu Qing raised his eyes slightly, a hint of surprise in them.

With a solid foundation in swordsmanship, a breakthrough is indeed normal.

But it's Yan Yan.

Despite lacking sufficient foundation previously, he still managed to break through to the next level.

"My mental cultivation is already perfect, and I am well prepared. When the time is right, everything will fall into place naturally."

Kenshin laughed heartily and was the first to reply.

Yan Yan quickly stepped forward.

"Ultimately, it's all thanks to the captain! During our expedition to the Lava Realm, the captain took care of us, and our Yan family reaped considerable rewards, which is why I was rewarded with a substandard Flame Stone!"

"That has nothing to do with me."

Linghu Qing nodded slightly.

then.

After the Yan family finished mining the resources in the Lava Realm, they delivered his share of the opportunity as promised, which was quite a lot for him at the time.

Now, well, that's another story.

"Are you familiar with the three realms of the human race?"

Linghu Qing asked in a deep voice.

The scope of this patrol is extremely wide, with numerous cities of all sizes and a diverse mix of people from all walks of life within the Three Emperors' territory. It is inevitable that they will have to deal with local cultivators and city forces.

He was an ascended cultivator, while the other two were local cultivators.

"Don't worry, Captain, I'm skilled!"

Kenshin immediately patted his chest, full of confidence.

He strode forward, unfurled a map of the territory, and with a light tap of his finger, began to explain in detail.

The Sword Sect is rooted in the human realm and is not a local force in Tianyuan City. It has a deep understanding of the situation in various cities.

"Our first stop is Star City."

"This place is adjacent to Tianyuan City, and the situation is chaotic. The city lord is Shiya Lingjun, who is in the late stage of the Refinement Realm. He is of the same clan and origin as Elder Shiyuan of the Elder Hall of Tianyuan City, and their relationship is very close."

"..."

The airship broke through the air and set off, speeding towards Star City.

Meanwhile, at the Elders' Hall of Tianyuan City.

The atmosphere inside the hall was solemn and quiet.

A figure appeared out of thin air and entered, his expression seemingly peaceful, but his eyes concealed a deep chill.

"Who?"

"A real person!"

"Greetings, Master Lei Luo!"

The guards immediately became alert. Upon seeing the newcomer's face, they quickly concealed their aura and bowed in respect.

"Send a message to Linghu Qing, ordering him to come to the Elder Hall to see me immediately."

The purple-clad figure, disguised as Lei Luo Zhenren, raised his hand indifferently and gave the order in a calm tone.

"Master, Senior Linghu Qing has gone out of the city to carry out a patrol mission."

Upon hearing this, Master Lei Luo's body stiffened almost imperceptibly, and his brows furrowed suddenly.

Damn!

He had finally stabilized the body he had possessed and rushed back to get rid of the monster Linghu Qing, only to find that the other party had just left the city to avoid danger.

What terrible luck.

"understood."

He suppressed his surging anger and was about to set off to personally pursue and capture the suspect when a gentle Buddhist chant suddenly came from behind him.

"Fellow Daoist Lei, was your journey to the Wilderness successful?"

Zen Master Jin Yue stepped forward and began to ask questions.

Master Lei Luo quickly suppressed all his gloom, turned around, and his expression transformed into one of loss and helplessness, perfectly replicating the original's temperament.

"It didn't go smoothly."

"The clues were wrong; it was all for nothing."

"Alas, life is unpredictable, Fellow Daoist Lei, please don't be attached to appearances. Just look forward."

Upon seeing this, Zen Master Jin Yue gently offered words of comfort.

He suddenly remembered something.

"Has anything unusual happened in the Darkwater Marsh area recently?"

"No abnormalities found."

Master Lei Luo shook his head, his expression calm and composed.

A hint of surprise flashed across Zen Master Jin Yue's eyes, then he nodded and said, "That's good!"

The two chatted for a few more minutes before parting ways.

Zen Master Jin Yue returned to his Buddhist elder's hall to quietly cultivate Buddhism.

As Lei Luo Zhenren, having completed his disguise, turned to return to the hall, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

"Inform me immediately upon Linghu Qing's return, without fail."

"yes!"

The guard bowed and accepted the order.

Master Lei Luo swept his sleeves and entered the hall, closing the door behind him and quietly waiting for his prey to return.

Star City.

The giant airship slowly landed in the city lord's mansion square.

City Lord Shiya Lingjun had already led the high-ranking officials of his mansion to wait for him. Hearing of Linghu Qing's illustrious reputation, they dared not be negligent in the slightest and treated him with the utmost courtesy throughout.

The banquet was a grand affair, with impeccable etiquette and a lively and solemn atmosphere.

"Don't bother seeing me off!"

"You're too kind!"

After the banquet, Linghu Qing briefly inspected the city's security and defensive formations to confirm that order was stable within the city.

They then boarded a flying boat and left the city.

He did not go on an incognito visit to dig into the sordid affairs of the city.

This was not his task.

His mission during this overseas assignment is to deter all sides and pacify the borders.

Since the city lord has reported nothing wrong and the inspection process has been completed, any future incidents will have nothing to do with him.

in this way.

Linghu Qing continued to land in one city after another, and along the way he also took action to crack down on organized crime and punish some bandits and evil cultivators.

A year later.

On the deck of the flying boat, the wind swept across the sky, and the spiritual energy was vast.

A Qingming Guard walked over.

"Junior Jiang Yunrou, an ascended cultivator."

"I am eager to follow the captain, learn more from him, and get closer to him."

The woman mustered her courage and frankly introduced herself, her eyes carrying a hint of initiative to get closer.

Linghu Qing glanced at her indifferently.

Kenshin and Yan Yan looked at him with ill intent; in their eyes, this was yet another person trying to seduce the captain.

The other party has an impressive background.

Otherwise, how could they interrupt halfway through the task?

That's right.

Jiang Yunrou just boarded the flying boat today and joined their team.

Purpose?

Anyone with eyes can see that they came for Linghu Qing.

Otherwise, are they just trying to get a little bit of reward for completing the task?

Jiang Yunrou wasn't embarrassed at all. She brazenly stood quietly to the side, naturally blending into the group, trying to squeeze into this core circle.

The patrol boat traversed tens of thousands of miles of territory before finally arriving at the second city.

"Senior Linghu!"

A familiar figure saw Linghu Qing and stared blankly at the young man in blue robes before him, his face filled with astonishment and shock.

The courtesy shown to him.

At this moment, he had already established himself in Xuan Er City, opened a shop and became the manager of a local business.

However, his cultivation level remained at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, stagnating.

Xiang Zhili stared blankly at Linghu Qing, his heart filled with turbulent waves that he could not calm down for a long time.

Golden Armored Heavenly Guards!

Senior Linghu has already broken through to the Void Refinement stage?

It's been less than twenty years!

Senior is indeed a reincarnation of a powerful being from the spirit world!

Linghu Qing was also slightly surprised, not expecting to run into an old acquaintance who had ascended to immortality here.

"Fellow Daoist Xiang."

"You flatter me, senior. Just call me Xiao Xiang."

"Alright, Xiao Xiang, long time no see."

Linghu Qing smiled and nodded, his attitude gentle.

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

"Captain, who is this?"

Seeing this, Jianxin and the others beside him were curious and asked in hushed tones.

"This is an old acquaintance who ascended to the spirit world with me."

Linghu Qing gave a brief introduction.

"To ascend together?"

Upon hearing this, the group looked shocked.

Upon first encountering the captain's ascended world, they were all filled with curiosity and doubt.

How come this person is only in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm?

Can he withstand one of my sword strikes?

This is what Kenshin was thinking.

"I absolutely dare not consider ourselves kindred spirits!"

"How could a junior like me be worthy of being called a fellow traveler with a senior like me? You are truly making me feel ashamed."

Xiang Zhili quickly bowed and belittled himself, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

The days when they called each other "fellow Daoists" are gone forever.
