My Nascent Soul Ran Away Again

Chapter 39

Ji Lingchen sat up shakily from the ground and laughed out loud.

Lu Xuan raised his middle finger to express his disdain.

This old fellow was terrible. He deliberately said it to provoke him.

This reminded Lu Xuan of his own life experience.

He had become the Dao Evolution Sect leader, and his master had become a True Immortal.

After he fell in love with Cheng Hongtan, his wife also ascended.

When he went out to travel, he could not help but take in good-looking and talented people as his disciples. With four disciples and two ascendants, the drop rate was ridiculously high.

Now, Ji Lingchen was about to become a True Immortal.

‘Is there something wrong with the world whereby everyone around me is a big shot and I’m the only Golden Core?’

When ordinary people looked at Lu Xuan’s life experiences, they would easily have the illusion that it was enough to become immortal.

In fact, there were only four cultivators who had ascended in the Archean Eon World in the past 10,000 years.

Yes, they were all related to Lu Xuan.

The timeline was pushed forward.

Other than these four people, the last person who ascended had undergone the Immortal Ascension Tribulation 80,000 years ago.

Some people analyzed that the Archean Eon World would usher in a period of vigorous development. There would be an explosion of geniuses, and a world of great competition was coming.

Ji Lingchen finished his wine and returned the gourd to Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan shook his head.

“It’s for you.”

“Really?” Ji Lingchen’s face immediately revealed a look of surprise.

“I carved this gourd when we met back then… After you ascend to the upper realm, you can have a memento,” Lu Xuan said.

“Then, I won’t stand on ceremony with you.” Ji Lingchen put the gourd away like it was a precious treasure, his face blossoming like an old chrysanthemum.

“How confident are you about this Immortal Ascension Tribulation?” Lu Xuan asked.

Ji Lingchen pondered for a moment. “It’s hard to say. I just suddenly had a feeling that it’s time to become an immortal.”

Lu Xuan was relieved. He understood Ji Lingchen very well. When the other party said that, it meant that things were settled.

It made sense. It had been 3,000 years since Ji Lingchen reached the Mahayana stage.

After accumulating for such a long time, with his talent and comprehension, he should also proceed to the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.

“In my impression, you have quite a lot of enemies.” Lu Xuan suddenly thought of this.

“There are indeed quite a lot.”

Ji Lingchen did not deny it.

Back then, when he wiped out the demonic path forces in the Northern Plains, he had offended many people.

Even though Ji Lingchen killed most of the devils, there were still demonic magnates who fled the Northern Plains, hiding their identities and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation was extremely dangerous. If outsiders were involved, they would also have to endure the heavenly tribulation along with them.

However, the destruction of a Daoist orthodoxy was an irreconcilable matter. With the mindset of a normal demonic cultivator, even if it was a one-for-one exchange, they would still think of a way to interfere with Ji Lingchen’s tribulation and make him die.

“On the day of the tribulation, I will hold an Immortal Ascension ceremony. The venue will be outside the Heavenly Sword Sect.”

Ji Lingchen’s gaze was sharp.

“I want to force those devils to show themselves and personally settle the karma before they reach the Immortal World.”

Lu Xuan had heard Ji Lingchen mention his background before. He was originally the son of a wealthy merchant from a certain martial arts dynasty.

However, when he was four years old, because of a piece of spiritual jade passed down in the family, the Ji family attracted the covetous eyes of the evil cultivators. The entire family was brutally exterminated, and the family property was also divided by bad relatives colluding with the government.

Ji Lingchen, who was lucky enough to escape, had no choice but to end up in the orphanage. In the end, he was lucky enough to embark on the path of cultivation.

It was precisely because of this that he abhorred evil from a young age and wished he could kill all the evil people in the world.

“Alright.” Lu Xuan nodded.” I’ll attend the ceremony on that day.”

“I’ll do the killing.” Ji Lingchen said,” Just help me block a few people.”

He whispered a few names into Lu Xuan’s ear.

When Lu Xuan heard this, his expression turned strange. “You… There are quite a lot of bad romances. Don’t you plan to deal with them before ascending?”

“No matter which one I marry, I won’t be able to account for the remaining few…”

Ji Lingchen lowered his head and rubbed his face.

“Therefore, I decided not to marry any of them. They couldn’t fight their way to Sky Sword Mountain anyway.”

Lu Xuan was speechless.

He thought to herself, ‘Someone like you would be scolded even if you were to put it in a harem novel.’

Outsiders did not know that the reason why Ji Lingchen, who was a rogue cultivator, chose to join Sky Sword Mountain was because he had a love debt to run away from.

“Even without the male lead of the harem, she still contracted the disease from him.”

Lu Xuan shook his head and patted his shoulder. “She has a more explosive temper than the others. Why do you like this type of person?”

“Stop scolding me, stop scolding me…” Ji Lingchen’s face was full of tears as he shook Lu Xuan’s arm.

“Alright, I’ll help you.” Lu Xuan sighed.

Ji Lingchen was already very old, so naturally, his unlucky love interest was also very old.

Lu Xuan imagined the scene that day.

In the sky, there would be an old man fighting against the heavenly tribulation, and on the ground, there was a young man fighting against a few old ladies with crutches.

The old man would be struck by lightning, and a few old ladies would cry their eyes out…

What was this?

After talking about Ji Lingchen, it was Lu Xuan’s turn.

After Lu Xuan agreed to stop the old lady, Ji Lingchen felt much more relaxed. He moved closer to Lu Xuan and pointed at the room. “What’s up with her?”

Lu Xuan looked at the gossipy Ji Lingchen.

“Just friends.”

“Really?” Ji Lingchen looked doubtful.

“Have I ever lied to you?” Lu Xuan glanced at him.

“It seems so.” Ji Lingchen believed him. He thought about it and said, “I also heard from my disciple that you took good care of this little girl in the Secret Mystical Realm…”

“After all, she is the successor of the Dushi Sword House. As a senior, it is reasonable for me to take care of her.”

Even though he didn’t take in any disciples, Lu Xuan had always treated Cheng Lingzhu as his own.

“Moreover, I suspect that my master… I’m talking about Cheng Hongtan. When she ascended back then, something unexpected might have happened to her.”

Lu Xuan frowned when he mentioned this.

“Well…” Looking at his expression, Ji Lingchen wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say.

“Forget it. I might as well hope that I can form my Nascent Soul instead of hoping that you can comfort me.”

Lu Xuan sighed. “If you had this ability, you wouldn’t be in such debt now.”

He punched Ji Lingchen.

“Let’s go. Let me be alone for a while and think about something.”

“Alright then.”

Ji Lingchen patted his butt and stretched his body. Before he left, he asked Lu Xuan, “About the Secret Mystical Realm…”

Lu Xuan waved his hand. “Help me cover it up. It’s too troublesome to explain.”

“Alright.” Ji Lingchen nodded and disappeared.

Although he had lived for a long time, Lu Xuan rarely used a disguise and did not even hide his appearance.

Because of this, an old friend came to visit the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The reason was simple.

For most immortal people, changing their identities was because they were afraid that their secrets would be discovered and they would be persecuted.

However, to Lu Xuan, his strength had reached a level where he didn’t need to hide the secret of immortality.

It was better to say that with Lu Xuan’s strength, immortality would only make the enemy afraid.
