My Informative Cultivation Life

"Brother Yang Ji, there is no need for this; the survival of the family alliance is a significant matter. Some things require necessary compromises! Deng Xiao is indeed a talent, but alas, the heavens do not always accord with man's desires," Zhuge Yuntian said, shaking his head.

"My disciple is not alone; behind him, he has me and the Wuji Dao Sect!" Yang Ji suddenly turned to Zhuge Yuntian, "Since the Zhuge Family is considering an alliance, why not think about an alliance with the Wuji Dao Sect?"

"An alliance with the Wuji Dao Sect?" Zhuge Yuntian was suddenly taken aback, looked at Yang Ji and said, "Brother Yang, you are but a Seven Tribulations Immortal, can you speak on behalf of the Wuji Dao Sect?"

"I can speak for the Wuji Dao Sect!" Yang Ji suddenly erupted with an immensely powerful aura, sweeping in all directions, causing Zhuge Yuntian's expression to change as he blurted out, "Red Dust Immortal?" Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire

"I am not a Red Dust Immortal, but I can slay a Red Dust Immortal!" Yang Ji declared solemnly.

Zhuge Yuntian's breath caught in his throat; he looked deeply at Yang Ji, "A Seven Tribulations Immortal slaying a Red Dust Immortal!" If such words were spoken by someone else, he would have scoffed, but coming from the person before him, he couldn't help but take it very seriously.

"Is Brother Yuntian inclined to welcome me to visit the Zhuge Family?" Yang Ji inquired, looking towards Zhuge Yuntian.

"Your visit to the Zhuge Family is to take Yun Xia away for your disciple; this act will certainly offend the Shentu Family! I…" Zhuge Yuntian hesitated, weighing the interests at hand.

"Master! The Shentu Family is powerful, with several Red Dust Immortals; you must not risk danger for your disciple!" Deng Xiao exclaimed, his expression changing.

"You and I share a master-disciple bond; over the years, however, I have hardly imparted any teachings to you. Now that my disciple faces difficulty, how can I, as a master, stand idly by?" Yang Ji said with a faint smile, "Rest assured! Even if not for you, I must make this trip for Zhi Yuan."

"Master…" Deng Xiao looked gravely concerned, his words stopping short.

"Do not worry; with your master stepping in, you can be at ease," the Buddha Child said with a smile.

"Uncle-Master, you are unaware; the Shentu Family has a full four Red Dust Immortals; their power is immense; I'm afraid…" Deng Xiao looked worried.

"Little Nephew-Disciple, do not worry. Let's leave this matter to your master," the Buddha Child said calmly.

"This journey is fraught with peril. If Master should risk danger for his disciple's sake by going to the Zhuge Family, I would feel immeasurable guilt!" Deng Xiao declared somberly.

"The Shentu Family takes a bride by force; it is the disciple who suffers humiliation. If I as a master do not step forward, the world will think that you have no support behind you, that you are vulnerable to bullying!" Yang Ji said with a smile, looking towards Zhuge Yuntian, "My visit to the Zhuge Family is entirely for my disciple's matter. If both families can refrain from making things difficult, and can come to a mutually beneficial agreement, our three families can form an alliance, strength upon strength. This is the condition of the Wuji Dao Sect to form an alliance with your Zhuge Family, just this one matter."

"As to the benefits at stake, Brother Zhuge must have reached a decision! If the Shentu Family truly intends to form an alliance for the survival of their family, they will surely create goodwill and not cling pointlessly like a shrew. With the Wuji Dao Sect joining, the combined strength of our three families will be even more formidable. When the Great Tribulation of the Heavenly Demons comes, we will stand a better chance. The Shentu Family must be rational; if they genuinely wish to form an alliance, they won't mind such a trivial matter," Yang Ji said leisurely.

"Fine! I will take Brother Yang to my Zhuge Family! I will explain the matter to the Patriarch and call off the arranged marriage with the Shentu Family. If the Shentu Family clings to such a trivial matter, then they will prove unreliable when the Great Tribulation of the Heavenly Demons arrives," Zhuge Yuntian said with a flash in his eyes.

"A clear mind, Brother Zhuge; I will say no more." Yang Ji nodded his head.

"Brother Yang, come with me!" Zhuge Yuntian then soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light that disappeared into the heavens.

Yang Ji swept his arm, bringing Deng Xiao and Zhi Yuan into the Mount Sea World, and followed suit.

They raced along, and three hours later,

Yang Ji and Zhuge Yuntian arrived at a celestial wonderland where mountains rose and fell.

Here, clouds and mist intertwined, birds sang amidst the fragrance of flowers, and Spiritual Energy was abundant – truly a geomantic treasure land.

Zhuge Yuntian took several steps forward in the air, conjuring a colossal hand that swept across the valley between two towering Immortal Mountains, slowly opening a portal that pulsed with Immortal Light.@@novelbin@@

"Brother Yang, my Zhuge Clan resides in this small world. Please, follow me in!" Zhuge Yuntian turned to signal Yang Ji, then flew into the portal.

Yang Ji followed closely behind.

Within, the scenery was extraordinary; rays of rosy clouds, streams of Immortal Qi, flowers blanketing the ground, and vegetation covering the hills defined this small world, which the Zhuge Family had cultivated to resemble the Immortal Realm itself.

It was no surprise coming from the Hidden World Family; a glance was enough to reveal its profound heritage.

"The patriarch and the guests from the Shentu Family are conversing in the Heavenly Palace! Brother Yang, please follow me!" Zhuge Yuntian led the way swiftly, quickly bringing Yang Ji to a complex of palaces, flying straight into the tallest hall.

Upon entering, Yang Ji sensed two mighty presences, both seated upon glittering "Immortal Thrones."

One of the dignitaries wore an Immortal Crown and ancient feathered robes, with the bearing of a sage from primeval times. His eyes shone with divine light, emanating extraordinary authority.

Behind him, slightly lower, were the "King's Thrones," upon which sat commanding Tribulation Immortals, each radiating boundless majesty.

Beside these Tribulation Immortals, a young man from the Fushion Realm sat, his body exuding a cold aura that revealed his cruel and ruthless character.

These people wore robes identical to those who had ambushed Deng Xiao, clearly belonging to the Shentu Family.

Opposite the Shentu Family were the Zhuge Family members, with a Red Dust Immortal seated on an "Immortal Throne," and like the Shentu Family guests, several Tribulation Immortals sat on "King's Thrones" with equal grandeur.
