Chapter 236: The Newly Promoted Saintess of Your Sect is My Wife

The captain pondered for a moment upon hearing this, "I don't recognize him."

Just as he finished speaking, a figure appeared behind him; it was none other than the True God captain-general who had been leaning against the mountain gate's stone pillar just moments ago.

"What's the situation?" he asked.

Originally, he hadn't intended to come over, but when he released his divine sense to investigate as usual just now, he discovered that he actually couldn't see through this person.

However, judging by the aura of life, it should be someone from the younger generation, perhaps a second-generation disciple from some sect here for exchange and study.

For people like this, their Lingxuan Holy Land was still welcoming.

After all, if the Lingxuan Holy Land wanted to maintain its neutral status, it had to keep good relations with every sect.

"Captain-General, this person is named Qin Jiang, and he has come to visit our Lingxuan," the captain said.

"Qin Jiang?" The captain-general pondered slightly, not knowing this name.

"Fellow Daoist Qin Jiang, do you have anything to prove your identity? It would be easier for me to report it when I announce your arrival," he asked.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang took a token out from a different dimension; it was the honorary Elder token he had previously obtained at the Changsheng Sword Sect.

The captain-general nodded slightly upon seeing the token; so he was a descendant of an Elder from the Changsheng Sword Sect. To be so young, he must have extraordinary talent.

"Just say that Elder Qin from the Changsheng Sword Sect is visiting," Qin Jiang said.

The captain-general was stunned upon hearing this, his gaze shifting from the token to Qin Jiang's face, "Elder Qin?"

Such a young Elder? The Changsheng Sword Sect was a top-tier immortal sect below the Holy Land; to become an Elder of the Sword Sect, one had to have at least the cultivation of the True Immortal realm, and even the initial stage might not be enough to qualify.

Could it be that the person before him was actually a True Immortal?!

Hiss~ "Not only is it Elder Qin of the Sword Sect in person, I hope you will forgive my offense. Please wait a moment, I will go and invite the reception Elder immediately."

Having said that, he bowed slightly and left, turning directly into a stream of light.

The captain on the side scratched his eyebrow, "Senior, please move to the pavilion to rest for a moment. If you were a disciple visiting, we would naturally let you pass directly, but as you are an honored Elder, our Lingxuan Sect naturally cannot lose its manners."

He gestured toward a pavilion beside the mountain gate; in fact, he had encountered relatively low-key True Immortals visiting a few times before, so he was somewhat used to it.

Inside the mountain gate, a golden stream of light streaked across several mountain peaks and arrived at the top of a small hill, where only a wooden house sat, with a few wild chickens roaming freely in the courtyard.

However, while they were called wild chickens, if an ordinary Martial Artist saw them, their jaws would drop—how on earth were these wild chickens?

These were clearly Demon Kings! "Nie Zhanglao! Nie Zhanglao!" the captain-general shouted after landing in the courtyard.

Creak~~ The wooden door pushed open, and an old man in white walked out, his face kind, eyes squinted, his hair and beard all white.

"Little Lin, what is the matter that has you in such a rush?"

"Nie Zhanglao, an Elder from the Changsheng Sword Sect has come to visit outside the mountain gate, I ask that you go and receive him," the captain-general said.

"Changsheng Sword Sect?" The white-robed old man opened his slightly squinted eyes, carrying a hint of doubt.

Why had someone from the Changsheng Sword Sect come?

He had previously heard from the Sect Master that the Changsheng Sword Sect had produced an incredible Elder Qin, who was said to possess the power of an Immortal Monarch.

A tribulation set up by the Changsheng Sword Sect was only passed because the Dizu Huangzun even personally dispatched an Imperial Teacher to go there.

There were even rumors that even the Dizu Huangzun had sent a clone to go and converse with him.

It was precisely because of this that the Sect Master speculated that while that Elder Qin might not have reached the Immortal Monarch realm, he already possessed combat power on the level of an Immortal Monarch, and was absolutely a peerless prodigy surpassing the Daoist Child level.

"Yes, it is an Elder named Qin Jiang," the captain-general said.

Nie Zhanglao shifted his gaze to the captain-general, "You said, that Elder, his surname is Qin?"

"Yes."

Hiss—! Elder Qin? Immortal Monarch Qin! Immortal Monarch Qin is here?!

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned directly into a stream of light and left, leaving only a voice echoing in the captain-general's ear.

"Come to the Lingxuan Dian! I am going to invite the Sect Master!"

In the Lingxuan Dian, a middle-aged man sat above the great hall, holding a book in his hand and reading it, titled "Records of Strange Tales of the Nineteen Dynasties."

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked outside the hall.

Tap, tap, tap! Rapid footsteps sounded, and Nie Zhanglao walked in quickly, "Sect Master! Sect Master! Something big is not—bah! A joyous occasion! A great joyous occasion!" "Nie Zhanglao, why are you so flustered? Come and taste the rock tea they just picked," the Lingxuan Shengzhu said with a smile, then waved his hand, and a cup of fragrant tea appeared beside the seat below.

Nie Zhanglao calmed his mind and sat down at the seat, "Sect Master, it is Elder Qin, Immortal Monarch Qin, that Immortal Monarch Qin from the Changsheng Sword Sect has come, and he is currently outside the mountain gate."

After finishing, he picked up the teacup, and just as he put it to his lips, before he had time to taste it, he felt a gust of strong wind rushing toward his face.

The Lingxuan Shengzhu appeared in front of him in an instant, grabbed his collar with one hand, and flew toward the outside of the hall.

"Hey! The tea, the tea, the tea! I haven't drunk it yet~"

"Drink tea! Drink your big head! How dare you let Immortal Monarch Qin wait outside the mountain gate!"

"Wait a moment, you haven't brought Little Lin along yet!"

Outside the Lingxuan Dian, the captain-general, who had just arrived, hadn't even had time to take a look at the great hall before he saw a green light strike, and then his body felt light.

By the time he came to his senses, he was already back outside the mountain gate.

"Haha! I did not know Immortal Monarch Qin was visiting, I have failed to welcome you! I have failed to welcome you!"

The Lingxuan Shengzhu stepped forward and bowed to Qin Jiang.

Qin Jiang stepped forward to help the Lingxuan Shengzhu up, "Shengzhu, you are too polite. This time it was my abruptness, as I did not inform you in advance."

"Immortal Monarch Qin, you are too polite, please, come in, please come in! I have already prepared tea in the Holy Hall, it is the rock tea I picked myself!"

The two walked into the mountain gate, with Nie Zhanglao and the captain-general following behind.

Nie Zhanglao saw the captain-general still following, and leaned over to whisper in his ear, "Little Lin, go and handle things; don't let the news of Immortal Monarch Qin's arrival cause too much of an impact in the city.

Then tell the president of the Lingxuan Press to quickly issue a message, saying that today Immortal Monarch Qin of the Changsheng Sword Sect visited the Lingxuan Holy Land, the Lingxuan Shengzhu welcomed him personally, and they talked very happily, go quickly!"

"Ah! Understood! I'll go do it right now!"

The captain-general answered in a daze; although he still hadn't figured out which Immortal Monarch this Immortal Monarch Qin was—he clearly remembered that there was no Immortal Monarch with the surname Qin among the seven Immortal Monarchs.

But even though he hadn't figured it out, he went to do it immediately.

Inside the Lingxuan Holy Land, Qin Jiang and the Lingxuan Shengzhu walked along the main road leading directly to the Lingxuan Dian, with Holy Land disciples observing them quietly from time to time on the road.

There are not many rules within the Lingxuan Holy Land, and there are no insurmountable status barriers between disciples and Elders, so these disciples are all quite enthusiastic.

However, hindered by not knowing the identity, and at the same time not wanting outsiders to think that the Lingxuan Holy Land has no rules, none of them stepped forward.

Walking to a certain corner, what came into view was a huge Valley, and in the center of the Valley was a giant Black Tortoise statue.

With a tortoise body and snake tail, it carried an aura of heavy vicissitudes and a strange sense of profound mystery.

"Hehe, Immortal Lord Qin, this is the foundation upon which my Lingxuan Holy Land was established. It is said that this Black Tortoise statue was carved by an Immortal King from ancient times, and it is his true form."

"It has been passed down by the elders in the Holy Land that this Black Tortoise statue contains a great secret of the Immortal King, but since ancient times, I do not know how many Immortal Lords have come here to meditate on it, yet none have gained anything," Lingxuan Shengzhu said.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "If there is an opportunity, please allow me to meditate on it for a while."

"Haha! That is only natural, but there is no rush. Please enter the hall to sit for a while first and taste how this rock tea of mine is," Lingxuan Shengzhu laughed.

The two continued forward, and before long, they arrived at Lingxuan Dian.

"Immortal Lord, please!"

After taking a seat, Qin Jiang picked up the teacup and took a light sip; a fragrance seemed to seep into his True Spirit, washing away some impurities.

He was slightly surprised, "This tea can actually cleanse my True Spirit?"

"Hehe, the tea leaves in this tea are nothing rare, but the water used to brew this tea is extraordinarily miraculous; it is the Black Tortoise Holy Water taken from the back of that Black Tortoise statue."

"This Black Tortoise Holy Water only produces one drop per year; this cup of tea requires no less than a hundred years of effort," Lingxuan Shengzhu laughed.

"So that is how it is; the statue is truly so miraculous," Qin Jiang remarked with emotion.

A moment later, after finishing the tea, Lingxuan Shengzhu set down the teacup in his hand, "Immortal Lord, I still do not know what brings you to Lingxuan?"

Qin Jiang also set down the teacup in his hand and smiled: "I come from Hunluan Haiwai, and your sect's newly promoted Saintess, Xu Yanran, is my wife."
