Chapter 1065 - Chapter 1065 Chapter 1069 An Unexpected Disaster

Chapter 1065: Chapter 1069: An Unexpected Disaster Chapter 1065: Chapter 1069: An Unexpected Disaster If they couldn’t execute Hong Mo, who possessed twenty percent of the Yuheng Star Goddess’s mana, his brother, Hong Yi, could always bring him to justice by law.

The key was to prevent these Evil Immortal Gangs from continuing to steal the lifespans of living people, and they specifically targeted those who did good deeds, with good cultivators being their primary prey.

“Tomorrow morning, we’ll continue to start with the cases of those mortals and we must root them out,” Zhu Minglang said to Wen Lingfei.

Wen Lingfei nodded.

Having witnessed the tragedy on Changning Street, Wen Lingfei was acutely aware that this Evil Immortal Gang was a group of madmen inflamed with righteous indignation. Although purposeful in their actions, they were reckless, affecting numerous bystanders.

In the cold depth of night, Zhu Minglang’s recent quiet cultivation following Meng Bingci had been effective, so he sat down punctually every day, and the process of Gathering Spirit to nourish the dragons proceeded according to the breathing techniques taught by Meng Bingci.

Moreover, Zhu Minglang had also noticed that in Yuheng Star Palace, many deities from other factions had come upon hearing the news. Outside White Frost Palace, they meditated alongside the swordswomen from the Misty Sword Sect, their bodies absorbing significantly cleaner spiritual energy, and some of the stubborn demons deep in their hearts were being eradicated bit by bit…

It was clear that Meng Bingci, as the God’s Head, had gradually gained the recognition and support of some deities of Yuheng Star Palace through the meditation techniques she had comprehended.

Half the time was spent in quiet cultivation, and the other half in sleep.

The night was indeed too long but, after a quiet rest, that night’s sleep was especially peaceful, and upon waking the next day, one might even find that the dragons’ cultivation bases had improved a bit.

Dragon pets did not need to cultivate within the Spirit Realm; they were only responsible for sleeping soundly.

When Zhu Minglang sat down to cultivate, it was as if all the dragons were cultivating too.

At dawn, Zhu Minglang discovered a slight progression in the growth of Xuanlong.

Previously, Xuanlong was still a few thousand years away from his adult stage, but these days of Gathering Spirit through the breathing technique had shortened Xuanlong’s growth time by five hundred years.

The effect was very significant, unexpected to Zhu Minglang.

Having Xuanlong, Zhu Minglang had always been troubled about how to bridge the chasm of thousands of years to bring Xuanlong to maturity sooner. Little did he expect that his mother’s breathing technique would greatly help Xuanlong, dramatically reducing the time once again.

The breathing technique combined with Gathering Spirit was roughly equivalent to a thousand times the speed, with the other dragon pets also enjoying this Spiritual Rhyme nourishment. Xuanlong, whose body was still developing, showed the most significant growth, even experiencing leaps in development.

It seemed coming to Yuheng Star Palace was the right choice; it was indeed suitable for cultivation. Once Cai You collected those divine items, the White Dragon Divine Sect offered up a batch of spiritual resources, and after entering the Wasted Moon again on the next full moon… his strength could take another big leap!

Big Black Tooth had become a Peak Divine General.

Thunder Emperor Purple Dragon’s cultivation had also advanced by one rank.

Zhu Minglang was quite satisfied, got up, and as usual, flew into Fairy City to find a delicious breakfast stall.

A busy day of course had to start with a full stomach. The breakfast prepared by the people from the Miao Mountain Sword Sect was really too bland; Zhu Minglang was still not accustomed to it.

As for cultivation, he could follow their way of cultivating, but there was no way Zhu Minglang would change his palate to match theirs. For Zhu Minglang, without good wine and meat, even high cultivation would lack a certain flavor.

After enjoying breakfast, Wen Lingfei also flew down from the Star Palace and continued the investigation with Zhu Minglang.

“Let’s go to a place first,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Alright,” Wen Lingfei responded without further question.

He headed to the suburbs and specifically sought out the home of the Spirit Gathering elder.

He didn’t show himself, just observed the Spirit Gathering elder from a distance.

Indeed, the Spirit Gathering elder was out the door with his bamboo basket at the crack of dawn.

Zhu Minglang had already cautioned him that if he wanted to live a few more years, he shouldn’t enter the woods when it was cold, as the early chill could send him to an early grave…

But the Spirit Gathering elder still left the house early every morning, and when Zhu Minglang saw him bidding farewell to a young man practicing martial arts early in the courtyard with a smile, he understood something.

“Does this old man have something special about him?” Wen Lingfei inquired.

“He used to take care of the Daoist boys in the Daoist temple, and Hong Mo even learned how to gather herbs from him. He is one of the few people in this world that the Evil Immortal Gang has ties with. Yesterday, I asked this elder to do me a favor. However, I didn’t expect that Hong Mo was an Evil Immortal with malicious intent and heavenly mana. I think he must know that I’ve been looking for this elder,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Are you worried that he will be harmed? He’s fine right now, which means that, at the very least, Hong Mo still has a bit of gratitude and conscience,” Wen Lingfei asked.

“I don’t think so. In fact, if he killed this Spirit Gathering elder, he himself wouldn’t escape death,” Zhu Minglang said.

Killing one’s benefactor is an extreme sin, similar to killing one’s master. If he were to harm the Spirit Gathering elder, Zhu Minglang could arrest his soul.

Heavenly Execution is an absolute execution. Cultivation bases are useless within the Dream Hall. As long as Hong Mo’s soul can be caught, even with the perfect mana of Hong Mo’s Yuheng Star goddess, he is destined to die.

This is a divine authority unique to Zhu Minglang.

In fact, when Zhu Minglang initially witnessed the Yuheng Star goddess committing crimes on Earth, he could have summoned her Heavenly Soul for interrogation. He might not have been able to execute her, but at the very least, he could have punished her Heavenly Soul, causing damage to her spiritual path…

But this divine authority should not be abused. Xuanmu had cautioned Zhu Minglang more than once that the God of Fuchen is a high-risk deity and it’s best not to provoke those dominant True Gods until his own cultivation base is absolutely powerful!

“The old man’s life is not much longer,” Wen Lingfei said.

“Yes, his kind deeds mean he should have another ten years to live, but now he has no more than a few years left,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

He couldn’t see specifics, but he could still get a general idea of someone’s physical condition.

“I can go to the Earth Temple and explain the situation to him. Perhaps we can restore the years of his life that have been affected,” Wen Lingfei said.

The old man was kind-hearted, yet his kindness had inadvertently caused some members of the Evil Immortal Gang who should have died to live, leading to a deduction from his own lifespan.

“The young man practicing swords outside the house just now, how is his potential?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“He’s not foolish, but it’s also unlikely he’ll achieve anything great,” Wen Lingfei said.

“Let him become a Sword Disciple in the Sword Palace,” Zhu Minglang said.

“That works,” Wen Lingfei nodded.

The Spirit Gathering elder had already become aware of his fate.

He was a kind soul who suffered from an undeserved calamity and had his lifespan shortened.

He harbored no complaints, only hoping that his descendants could have a better life.

If he still chose to gather herbs early in the morning, knowing his condition, then the best blessing for him was not living a few more years, but being able to witness his descendants making accomplishments, truly progressing in a positive direction during the remainder of his days.
