The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud - Chapter 1178

<H1text-align:” center”=””><spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Chapter 1178: Death Mountain?

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>After a moment of contemplation, Shuang Jiang spoke decisively to the Netherghost Emperor. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>”We can agree to cooperate with you. However, I expect you to share all the information you have with us. And you must lead us to the location of the problem immediately. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>I hope you understand that honesty is paramount in our cooperation. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>If I discover even the slightest deception, not only will our cooperation end, but I will level this island of yours. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>You know very well that as the Seventh Stage Immortal Emperor, you cannot stop me.”

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Before she even finished speaking, an overwhelming aura of a Seventh Stage Immortal Emperor emanated from her, enveloping the entire island. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>The hidden Immortal King-level ghost cultivators scattered around the island were instantly shaken, and their gaze turned to the source of this immense pressure.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>However, instead of being angered by Shuang Jiang’s forceful declaration, the Netherghost Emperor seemed even more pleased. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>”Hahaha, I’ve been waiting for these words from fellow Daoist Shuang Jiang. Although I am a ghost cultivator, I value honesty above all else. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>I have gone to great lengths to bring you here because I want a true partnership.”

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>With that, the Netherghost Emperor rose from his bone throne. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Raising one hand to the sky and the other to the ground, he solemnly swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Being part of the Immortal Realm, Nethersea was still bound by the rules of the Heavenly Dao. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Unless one had transcended the Dao, such oaths were unbreakable. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>By making this oath, the Netherghost Emperor demonstrated his sincerity.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>With a few words, the cooperation was sealed. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Although no one knew how long this alliance would last, Qin Tian, who was still seated at the stone table, felt a chill run down his spine. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>He had just witnessed an earth-shattering event – an Immortal Emperor from the Cultivation World forming an alliance with a Netherghost Emperor from Nethersea! I

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>f this news were to spread, no one in Nethersea City would believe it. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Selling this information to the Intelligence Pavilion would undoubtedly bring a huge reward.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>”I, Qin Tian, swear by the Heavenly Dao that I will never reveal what I have seen today. If I break this oath, may my cultivation stagnate, and may I be struck by heavenly lightning and die a miserable death!” 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Qin Tian hastily made his own oath, though neither Shuang Jiang nor the Netherghost Emperor paid much attention to him. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>He was terrified. Every word he had heard today was a secret far beyond his level. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Under normal circumstances, hearing such things would be a death sentence for a cultivator of his rank. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>The Netherghost Emperor could kill him without a second thought, and no one would question it. After all, who would expect the Nethersea Ghost Cultivators to need a reason to kill?

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>However, Shuang Jiang and the others were somewhat surprised by his actions.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>”No one will harm you. Besides, we still need your map to find the entrance to Death Mountain,” 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Su Jingzhen said, standing up and giving Qin Tian a reassuring pat on the shoulder. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>He understood Qin Tian’s fear – it was the helplessness of a weakling caught in a gathering of powerhouses.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>”Thank you, Fellow Daoist Su,” Qin Tian said, his gratitude evident.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Seeing the urgency in their expressions, the Netherghost Emperor spoke again. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>”Since you all seem to be in a hurry, let’s not waste any more time here. I’ll take you to meet some other friends in the Nethersea.”

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang had no objections, but Qin Tian’s face turned pale once again. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>”Um… Lady Shuang Jiang, Lord Netherghost Emperor, perhaps… perhaps I should wait here for you to finish your business. My meager cultivation won’t be of any help and might even be a burden.”

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Although staying on the island surrounded by Immortal King-level ghost cultivators was still terrifying, it was better than following Su Jingzhen and the others into what he assumed would be a suicide mission. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>In his eyes, no matter what they were planning, his chances of survival as an Immortal Lord were slim to none.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>”As you wish,” Shuang Jiang said curtly. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>She wasn’t keen on letting Qin Tian die just yet, especially before they reached Death Mountain and found the Primordial Divine Spring.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Relieved, Qin Tian quickly scurried away to find a hiding spot he deemed safe.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Su Jingzhen shook his head with a faint smile, but said nothing more.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Under the Netherghost Emperor’s guidance, Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang ventured back into the Nethersea. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>This time, however, the Nether Souls that gathered around them, though more numerous and agitated, did not dare to attack. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Instead, their crimson eyes seemed to burn with a strange fervor, and they even cleared a path for the group as they moved forward.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>As they progressed, Su Jingzhen’s divine consciousness began to perceive the Nethersea more clearly. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>The Netherghost Emperor had lifted all the ghost walls he had previously set up, allowing Su Jingzhen’s and Shuang Jiang’s divine senses to further extend. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>They noticed that the Nethersea was dotted with numerous islands, each inhabited by powerful ghost cultivators quietly pursuing their cultivation. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>As the Netherghost Emperor had said, not all ghost cultivators were violent. Many, especially those who had reached a certain level of cultivation, were devoted to the Dao.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Soon, under the Netherghost Emperor’s guidance, they arrived at another massive island, similar in size to the previous one. This island was also home to a Netherghost Emperor.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>”Netherghost, you’ve brought outsiders into Nethersea?” a deep, ancient voice echoed as soon as they set foot on the island.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Netherghost smiled and replied, “Our strength alone is insufficient to deal with the changes occurring in the Nethersea. Seeking outside help is our only option. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Chi Yuan, don’t be stubborn. This is the Hall Master of the Extreme Ice Hall, a Seventh Stage Immortal Emperor. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>With her power, we might just be able to suppress those things. At the very least, cultivators from outside Nethersea are still part of the Immortal Realm. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>In that sense, we are on the same side.”

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>As he spoke, Netherghost led Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang to the center of the island, where another throne stood. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Seated on it was a hunchbacked old man. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Although his form was that of a ghost, it was so solid that it was indistinguishable from a physical body.  Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⚑fire.net

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>The aura he exuded was at the level of the Fifth Stage Immortal Emperor, even stronger than Netherghost.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>”Seventh Stage Immortal Emperor!” the old man, Chi Yuan, muttered, his expression turning grave. “Can we trust them?”

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Netherghost waved his hand. “We have to try.”

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>”Very well. In that case, bring them along. The others are barely hanging on.” 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Chi Yuan nodded in acknowledgement to Shuang Jiang and Su Jingzhen before leading the group deeper into the Nethersea.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang exchanged glances, their expressions grave. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>It was clear that both Chi Yuan and the Netherghost were in a hurry. The situation in Nethersea seemed dire.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>After less than an incense stick’s worth of time, they stopped. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>The Nethersea here was eerily calm, with not a single Nether soul in sight. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Chi Yuan glanced at Shuang Jiang once more before nodding to the Netherghost. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>The two of them unleashed a surge of pure ghost energy, and the calm Nethersea suddenly churned with towering waves. A ghostly barrier materialized before them.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Through the barrier, Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang caught a glimpse of a towering black mountain. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Their hearts stirred. If their guess was correct, then this was none other than the legendary Death Mountain.
