Chapter 2320: Absolute Emotion Dao, Accomplished
In the Immortal Realm, the orthodox view holds that yin and yang are orderly and cannot be forcibly altered; otherwise, disaster will eventually be sown.
Therefore, the Immortal Realm has basically never experienced any evil demon uprisings, because yin and yang have not lost balance.
Even those with insufficient talent who might try to forge another path, like taking some weird ghost pet route, will ultimately achieve nothing.
Because they are completely rejected by the Immortal Realm orthodoxy, once they cultivate, they are basically isolated.
They might even be killed outright by an extreme powerhouse who regards them as some heretic cultivator, and it would not be surprising.
Moreover, killing them incurs no outcry; no one will speak up for them.
Thus, in the Immortal Realm, few cultivators practice ghost pet arts; even if they do, it is only as a last resort when they have no other options.
Moreover, how could An Sheng Xin, this generation's monstrous villain, dare to reveal that he once cultivated ghost pet arts?
At a rough glance, the number of ghost pets in this cave dwelling is at least over a hundred.
These are the results of An Sheng Xin's years of careful selection.
Moreover, these ghost pets have indeed helped him carry out many dirty deeds.
At this moment, An Sheng Xin came before a pink ghostly apparition, his expression blank as he said.
"Go to Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng..."
After giving the ghost pet a low‑voiced instruction, upon hearing An Sheng Xin's command, the ghost pet bowed respectfully and then left the cave dwelling directly.
An Sheng Xin dared not act himself; in the end he only dared to use ghost pets to annoy Ye Zhangqing and the others.
"Ye Zhangqing, Tianlin, Miao Qianqian, this matter is not over; you wait."
He spoke coldly, then An Sheng Xin also left the cave dwelling.
Unaware of An Sheng Xin's movements, Ye Zhangqing has recently become busy; as the Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng canteen gradually stabilizes, various information has also become saturated.
Basically there will be no major fluctuations, so Ye Zhangqing plans to begin expansion.
This expansion, Ye Zhangqing intends to start simultaneously from Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng and Wuji Xiancheng.
Taking the two great immortal cities as centers, he will spread outward to surrounding major cities.
Naturally, Ye Zhangqing does not need to personally handle site selection; Hongyue can arrange people to do it.
Anyway, if it is not an immortal city but just an ordinary city, suitable premises can basically be found by paying money.
Moreover, Ye Zhangqing's requirements for premises are actually not high.
The location does not need to be the best; even a slightly unfavorable position is fine.
The lower the requirements, the more options there are.
Of the over a hundred disciples transferred from the sect, half have been assigned by Ye Zhangqing to the various major cities around Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng and Wuji Xiancheng.
When a suitable premise is found, it is submitted to Ye Zhangqing for review; once confirmed problem‑free, payment is made directly.
The preliminary site selection is not difficult.
On this day, Ye Zhangqing finished his duties at mealtime and sat in the rear courtyard examining the disciples' submitted site selections for shops.
At this moment, Zuo Jue rushed in with Tao Qian, brimming with excitement.
"Senior Brother, Tao Qian has emerged from seclusion."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing looked up and indeed saw Tao Qian following behind Zuo Jue.
In just under a month, Tao Qian gives the impression of being a completely different person.
His appearance has not changed, but his figure has become thinner, and his face shows no expression at all, especially those eyes—indifferent, ruthless, cold.
Most striking is his demeanor; it is truly hard to imagine this could be the same person.
Moreover, his cultivation has broken through to the perfection of the immortal realm, only one step away from the Immortal King realm.
"Success?"
Seeing this for the first time, Ye Zhangqing could not help but feel curious and helpless.
A person cultivating different Dao can undergo such a huge change; don't forget, Tao Qian used to be a sycophant.
Facing Ye Zhangqing's question, Zuo Jue replied with a grin.
"Hehe, success—I just tested it; my strength has definitely undergone a rebirth, Senior Brother."
While speaking, Zuo Jue came to sit beside Ye Zhangqing, then mysteriously leaned in to whisper near his ear.
"The most important thing is temperament; the current Tao Qian is decisive in killing."
"Oh."
Ye Zhangqing also gave Tao Qian a deep look; his gaze was like that, devoid of any feeling, only indifference.
"The potential of the Absolute Emotionless Dao looks promising."
"Indeed, it is very high, though the cultivation difficulty is rather odd, so few choose it; even if one wants to cultivate, it is hard to meet the requirements—Tao Qian succeeded by sheer chance."
Zuo Jue nodded in agreement.
Ye Zhangqing also agreed with this view.
"Perhaps this is his opportunity."
Tao Qian successfully entered the Absolute Emotionless Dao, his strength surged dramatically; one cannot say whether this is good or bad—only he himself knows where his own path leads.
However, unlike before, when Ye Zhangqing and Zuo Jue speak, Tao Qian stands at the courtyard gate like a guard, silent and motionless.
Although Tao Qian has now severed his emotions, his loyalty to Ye Zhangqing remains, just like an instinctive habit.
After a brief chat with Tao Qian—basically Ye Zhangqing asked and he answered—
moreover, it is extremely simple; if he can nod, he certainly does not speak; if he must speak, it is merely an "en" and then nothing.
In short, it is quite boring.
After learning the situation, Ye Zhangqing had Zuo Jue take him down to rest.
He himself continued researching the canteen expansion; many disciples have successively found suitable shops, now only awaiting Ye Zhangqing's decision.
That night, Ye Zhangqing and Bai Hua Xianzi and the other girls returned to Heavenly Family; Zuo Jue did not know where he had gone off to roam freely.
As for Tao Qian, he lives alone in the backyard of the Canteen.
This guy's cultivation is not weak; guarding the gate is no big problem.
And as night fell, in the room, Tao Qian closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, quietly Xiūliàn.
Línglì inside his body wandered along the meridians, one circuit after another, and strands of cold air floated around his body.
This is the ruthless will of the Ruthless Dao, similar to Sword Intent, Blade Intent, etc., a kind of power.
Because Tao Qian has just started, his ruthless will has just entered the door, and later he can still break through and transform.
But the Tao Qian who had been quietly Xiūliàn, as time reached the late night, on his expressionless face, suddenly his eyes snapped open.
His eyes held no spirit, only indifference.
And under Tao Qian's gaze, only a pinkish phantom of Ma Hong slowly appeared before him.
This is a wisp of a soul, and its appearance is exactly the same as Ma Hong's; at first glance it looks like the lingering soul left behind after Ma Hong's death.
And this wisp of remnant soul, naturally cannot be Ma Hong, but is a ghost pet sent by An Sheng Xin.
An Sheng Xin's idea was to use the ghost pet to impersonate Ma Hong's remnant soul, first targeting Tao Qian.
After all, this guy is a sycophant; compared to the others around Ye Zhangqing, he is the easiest to target.
We can't deal with Ye Zhangqing; could it be that we still can't deal with a Tao Qian?
