Chapter 964 - To Return Back To The Apex In The Immortal World (2/2)

After a long time, Tang Xiu shifted his attention to the neatly arranged team and said in a deep voice, “Chimei, bestow all the members who participated in the battle with a Holy Healing pill each, as well as pills as a reward according to their merits. Tell them that apart from Tang Guang, Tang An, and Gu Xiaoxue, whoever can break through the Golden Core Stage first will be in command of the Everlasting Feast Hall’s core disciples.”

“Affirmative!” Ji Chimei complied and flashed to in front of the troops.

As for Tang Xiu himself, he went over to Daoist Zixuan. The latter opened her eyes and stopped recovering after she noticed him. Tang Xiu then handed over the pendant Ji Chimei just gave him and said calmly, “Here’s a gift for you.”

Daoist Zixuan’s eyes were slightly reddish. After she received the jade pendant, she glanced over at the remaining 8 disciples of hers nearby and said bitterly, “Thank you, Daoist Tang.”

“Don’t you want to know what gift I just gave you?” asked Tang Xiu indifferently.

Daoist Zixuan stared blankly and immediately asked, “This one?”

“There was a technique to collect souls in the inheritance I got, so I collected Jin Yunzi and Jin Yanzi’s souls on the account of the goodwill the disciples of your Whole Unitary Sect have given us by fighting side-by-side with us,” said Tang Xiu. “Once anyone from your sect breaks through the Crossing Tribulation Stage and goes through the Nine Thunder Tribulation for the third time, you can then mold corporeal bodies to revive them.”

“What?”

An incredulous expression full of disbelief filled Daoist Zixuan’s eyes. She quickly raised her hand and stared at the jade pendant in her palm, her breathing turning shallower.

“You… you mean Yunzi and Yanzi’s souls are inside this jade pendant? All three immortal souls and seven mortal forms, allowing me to resurrect them in the future?”

“Yes. But your sect will have to trade some things for that technique,” said Tang Xiu. “I can give you their souls, but you’ll still have to obtain the technique.”

“W-what… what do you need, Daoist Tang?” asked Daoist Zixuan, wild with joy.

“Don’t you already know what I need?” asked Tang Xiu back with a faint smile.

The question made Daoist Zixuan fall into a daze for a long time. As her expression turned much clearer, she seriously said, “I see. You can rest assured that I’ll try my best to meet your needs regardless of how much it would cost. I only hope to revive my two disciples in the future.”

“The battle between my side and the Celestial Wizard clan has come to an end, albeit temporarily,” said Tang Xiu. “They just suffered heavy losses this time, so I think they wouldn’t invade other’s territory again on a large scale so nonchalantly anymore. But you need to return to your sect, so don’t delay right now. I’ll be staying in Nine Dragons Island two months from now, and I’ll be waiting for your arrival then.”

“We’ll bring many cultivation resources when we visit again as soon as possible,” said Daoist Zixuan. “However, I also have another request which I hope Daoist Tang can agree to.”

“Please say,” replied Tang Xiu calmly.

With a bit of expectation on her face, Daoist Zixuan said, “If my guess is correct, the swords you and your men can store inside their body should be on par with an immortal sword or a higher-tiered magical weapon. Could you trade some immortal swords in exchange for a lot of cultivation resources from my sect?”

“Your appetite is really not small, Daoist Zixuan,” said Tang Xiu lightly with squinted eyes. “I’m sure you already know what kind of weapon the immortal sword is. How many cultivation resources do you think can be exchanged with it?”

“This…”

Daoist Zixuan fell into silence without being able to utter any words since she knew what kind of weapon the immortal sword was. This sword was absolutely a treasure any cultivators on Earth would dream of obtaining, yet it was something that even a mountain of gold couldn’t buy. Her Whole Unitary Sect did have massive amounts of cultivation resources, but it was far from enough to obtain one of these swords.

“Well, whatever. I won’t make things difficult for you,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “I’ll make a list of cultivation resources I need later. If your sect can gather the quantity I need, I can trade two immortal swords with you.”

“Great! As long as those cultivation resources exist on Earth, my sect will definitely able to obtain them and strike a deal with you,” said Daoist Zixuan firmly.

Half a day later, Tang Xiu led the surviving core members of the Everlasting Feast Hall to return back to Nine Dragons Island. The first time he came back, however, he issued an order to set up an airtight monitoring area that covered 200 nautical miles around Nine Dragons Island, surveilling whoever appeared within the radius.

After explaining everything, he then returned to the palace and went straight into cultivation. He needed to seize the time to recover his peak strength to set up some arrays for the training field since the 3,000 best children would soon arrive here.
