Just like that, the three of them enjoyed half a month on the cruise ship before slowly returning to the Nameless Mountain in Jian Province.

“Earth Immortal Ling Zhen has returned to the mountain!”

As soon as the news came out, all the representatives of the various factions who were waiting rushed forward. They all wanted to be the first to bow and express their attitude. Even some experts who were dissatisfied before were now very active.

“Earth Immortal Ling Zhen, I am the Dragon God of Yunjiang. It is Yunjiang’s blessing that you can travel all the way from Yunjiang.” In the end, Yunjiang Dragon God took the lead and bowed respectfully.

Shen Ping was in a good mood. He smiled and said, “Dragon God of Yunjiang, I know you. The river helped to propel us along the way. The river breeze is gentle, and the scenery on both sides is beautiful. It’s a huge improvement from the last time the river overflowed.”

The Dragon God of Yunjiang immediately said excitedly, “This is my duty. In the future, I will definitely bless the two shores and benefit the people.”

The representatives of the other factions were very speechless. They could not tell that this Yunjiang Dragon God, who was usually dignified and solemn, and had always considered himself the number one Dragon God, to be better than anyone else in flattering. Those who did not know better would think that Shen Ping was the emperor of the dynasty.

“Earth Immortal Ling Zhen, I am the Demon King of Tiandang Mountain. I was the one who sent a message to Mount Futu on your behalf. All these years, Tiandang Mountain has listened to your instructions and has not offended the people of Jian Province. We have also helped the village to open up the mountains and pave the way. I hope we can continue to listen to your guidance.11 The Demon King of Tiandang Mountain pushed Yunjiang Dragon God to the back and popped his head out to shout.

Shen Ping indeed knew about Tiandang Mountain. It was all thanks to Tiandang Mountain’s encirclement and suppression that he could grow so quickly. They had given him many demons, but that was in the past. During the years he had stayed in Nameless Mountain, the demons of Tiandang Mountain had indeed behaved themselves. No one dared to devour the commoners. However, this demon faction was completely intimidated by him, so they did not dare to act recklessly. So he nodded indifferently. “Only by keeping it up can it bear fruit.”

The Demon King hurriedly said, “My Tiandang Mountain will definitely behave.”

Not far away, the Earth Immortals who were floating in the air twitched their mouths when they saw this. Although they disdained such actions, they knew the current status of Earth Immortal Ling Zhen.

An hour passed.

Shen Ping brought Ghost Concubine and Ghost King Youyue to the Daoist temple on the mountain path made of limestone. More than 20 Earth Immortals from the Dao Sects of the world had already landed on the ground. “We meet again.” Shen Ping smiled and said, “My place is remote and poor. Please forgive me if I’ve neglected you.”

The other Earth Immortals wanted to say, “How is this neglect? You’re completely ignoring me, alright?” However, they did not dare to say this. After all, things are different now. In just more than half a year, the other party had already jumped from an Earth Immortal who had just broken through to an existence comparable to a Heavenly Immortal.

Since the other party could kill five Ghost Immortals, it meant that he could still easily kill them. Facing an expert who could crush them at any time, how could they dare to express their dissatisfaction?

“Earth Immortal Ling Zhen, you must be joking. The mountain range where this Daoist temple is located has beautiful scenery and oppressive spiritual energy. It is a top-notch residence and cultivation place. We have come today to disturb you.”

“Yes, it’s our good fortune that Earth Immortal Ling Zhen can receive us.”

The Earth Immortal of Emei Daoist Temple smiled. “Earth Immortal Ling Zhen, this mountain is beautiful and in harmony with the Heavenly Dao. If it can be renovated, it will definitely become a famous mountain and river in the future.”

Not to be outdone, the Earthl Immortal of Tianshan hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Our Tianshan has quite a lot of achievements in building a Daoist temple. If Earth Immortal Ling Zhen doesn’t mind, our Tianshan is willing to help repair the Daoist temple. I guarantee that it will make the mountain flourish with incense.”

Ghost Concubine and Ghost King You Yue looked at each other when they heard these nauseating words. If they did not know that the people in front of them were Earth Immortals who had transcended the mortal world and enjoyed ten thousand years, they would even think that these were just new disciples of the Dao Sect. When they spoke of flattery, each of them was more shameless than the other.

Shen Ping waved his sleeve, and there were more futons around him. Then, he made an inviting gesture. “Everyone, take a seat.” The Earth Immortals sat down cross-legged. “All of you are Earth Immortals of various Daoist lineages. I don’t think you came here just to praise my Nameless Mountain Daoist Temple. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it.”

The other Earth Immortals exchanged glances.

The Earth Immortal of Tianshan was the first to speak. “Earth Immortal Ling Zhen, I’m here this time under the orders of the Heavenly Immortal of Tianshan. As long as you join my Tianshan, even if it’s just nominally, Tianshan is willing to increase by 50% from the previous conditions! In addition, the power of the grotto-heaven can be given an additional 30%!”

The expressions of Kunlun, Longhu, Taishan, Emei, and the other Dao sects instantly changed. These conditions were really too generous. Everything else was nothing, but the power of the grotto-heaven was the core resources of every grotto-heaven. It could gradually transform the power of the Earth Immortal’s nomological power into the power of the Great Dao, condense a true Dao bone, and become a Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit.

30% could practically affect the operation of the Grotto-Heaven.

It had to be said that in order to rope in Earth Immortal Ling Zhen, Tianshan was really generous.

Kunlun’s Earth Immortal gritted his teeth and said, “It’s the same for Kunlun.”

As he spoke, his heart was bleeding. However, there was nothing he could do. Although Tianshan and Kunlun were on the same side, there was also competition between them. If Tianshan roped Ling Zhen in, they would definitely become the number one Dao sect in the world.

The Earth Immortal of Emei snorted in her heart. These shameless fellows. Unfortunately, no matter how shameless they were, they did not catch the main point. She slowly said, “Earth Immortal Ling Zhen, although I, Emei, can’t give you 30% of the Grotto-Heaven’s power, I’m willing to compensate in other ways.”

Tianshan’s Earth Immortal said with a faint smile, “Your words are pleasant to hear. In other aspects, hehe, what can compare to the power of the Grotto- Heaven?”

Kunlun’s Earth Immortal chuckled as well.

The Earth Immortals from the other dao sects wanted to laugh, but they could not. It was because they also wanted to say these words.

The power of the grotto-heaven was too precious. Usually, Heavenly Immortals could not bear to waste it. They still had to maintain the operation of the grotto-heaven and nourish the natural treasures. It was too fatal to take out 30% at once.

The Earth Immortal of Emei ignored Kunlun and continued, “I heard that Earth Immortal Ling Zhen and the reincarnated Earth Immortal of my Emei Dao Sect are in love with each other. My Emei Dao Sect is willing to vouch for this and fulfill your wish.” She braced herself and said, “Furthermore, if Earth Immortal Ling Zhen is willing, we won’t stop you if you take a fancy on the daoists of my Emei.”

The scene instantly fell silent.

The Earth Immortals were dumbfounded as they looked at the representative of Emei. They really did not expect the Emei Dao Sect to be so shameless that they could even say such words.

One had to know that the Daoist temple of Emei was the one with the strictest rules. Even if the Daoist inside had any romantic feelings, she would be expelled from the Daoist temple at best and executed at worst. But now…

Shen Ping was also stunned. He did not care about such things, but he did not expect Emei to propose such conditions to rope him in. It was simply breaking the bottom line.

Needless to say, it must have been ordered by the Heavenly Immortal of Emei. Only at that level would one not care about any rules.

It only took a breath or two, then the Taishan, Longhu, and the other Dao sects’ eyes lit up. That’s right, why didn’t they think of this? Earth Immortal Ling Zhen directly destroyed Mount Futu for a Ghost Concubine. Clearly, he was a prodigal son who valued relationships. For such a person, women were probably his favorite.

Hence, they immediately understood and stated the same condition.

“I appreciate your kindness.” Shen Ping said bluntly, “It’s just that I’m an Earth Immortal of Changling lineage and have no intention of joining other grotto-heavens and blessed lands. Everyone, please leave.”

The representatives of Kunlun and Tianshan frowned, while representatives of Emei and Longhu heaved a sigh of relief.

“In that case, we’ll take our leave. However, as long as Earth Immortal Ling Zhen is willing, our Tianshan will welcome you at any time.”

Tianshan was the first to leave.

The other Earth Immortals followed closely behind.

In the Daoist temple, the Eldest Senior Sister and Yin Shu looked at each other with a collapsed worldview in their eyes. They had always felt that the rules of the Daoist temple were greater than the sky, but today, they realized that the rules were just a word from an Earth Immortal or Heavenly Immortal.
