Jiang Tang suddenly paused, noticing among these ghosts a greed-filled look from an Immortal, the kind that wanted to seize his soul?
He wasnât unaware that thousands of years ago, many people from the Top Ten Clans or noble families had become immortal within the Cultivation World!
Moreover, those Great Immortals!
They each have a history, a story of rising to wealth, and a history of cultivating to immortality, featuring their patriarchs!
The Immortal Sect has founding ancestors, and the family has an ancestor who founded this family!
The same surname, but due to a particular ancestorâs rise, even if itâs the same surname, they donât possess the same capability or family prosperity elsewhere!
The patriarch in Dugu Yanâerâs place was also the one who propelled the familyâs rise!
In those days, when he managed to rise, he of course became immortal, and many of his descendants also became immortal!
But after they became immortal, could they be any formidable?
Not every familyâs members unite or band together at a certain place, theirs do not, because after becoming an Immortal, amidst the crowd of deities, they would be bullied!
In the Immortal Realm, many seize resources to enhance their own abilities after becoming Immortal; an independent Immortal starting at the Celestial Court, without finding family members, a rookie Immortal would be ostracized!
They might even be bullied!
At this point, they would look for family!
Search for the predecessors among the familyâs Immortal ancestors!
At this moment, the Patriarch DuGu gazed greedily at Jiang Tang, harboring thoughts of body seizing, but he was not the founder of the family!
Jiang Tang immediately discerned that this so-called patriarch was actually a very rebellious and selfish individual!
Because they use poison, their mind is venomous, specifically using poison to harm others to improve their abilities; there are such people!
Whether they come openly or secretly?
In the Cultivation World, those striving to enhance their powers by seizing resources are not unheard of!
Jiang Tang could see that this ghost wanting to seize his body actually fell from the Immortal Realm to the Mortal World, relying on absorbing offerings from descendants!
This wisp of remnant soulâs ability has gradually improved, though its voice wasnât as powerful as other ghostly abilities, its shadow slowly consolidated.
As long as it possesses opportunities, it can acquire a human body again and once more cultivate to immortality using a human form!
Previously it was known that after the cataclysmic events, everyone cultivated but couldnât achieve immortality!
Seizing someone elseâs body only makes it an ordinary cultivator!
As long as it exerts itself a bit, owning a body to cultivate is slightly better than using someone elseâs; after all, oneâs own body can be used better!
Using anotherâs body requires compatibility and combat, and if oneâs ability doesnât surpass that cultivator, thereâs risk of backlash.
No matter if this is Patriarch DuGu or not, if he wanted Jiang Tangâs body, he wouldnât be polite!
With a wave of his hand, a Buddha Light flew towards a shadow among the rankings!
"Ah!"
The other ghosts watched as one was struck by Jiang Tangâs Buddha Light, crying out in pain!
These ghosts felt fortunate that they hadnât harbored seizing intentions!
That Immortal patriarch was the leader among these ghosts, rather a bully!
Normally bullying them because their ghostly abilities werenât as strong as the patriarch!
Seeing the patriarch crying out, they huddled together, the son-in-law is not to be trifled with!
"Disaster..."
The High Priest hadnât expected that by simply having Jiang Tang offer incense, the ghost hidden in the ancestral ranking, the remnant soul of an Immortal, harbored greed, wanting to seize Jiang Tangâs divine body!
Ghosts spotting a divine body and feeling greed, he could understand!
Seeing the divine abilities, how could they not feel greedy?
Itâs just that their abilities arenât nearly as high!
As long as thereâs a thought, the Deity deals with it!
That patriarch was truly naive, merely a remnant soul, how could he contest with a Deity.
The High Priest wasnât looking down on their familyâs patriarch; although he became an Immortal, transmitted abilities were not as mighty as Jiang Tang!
The High Priest was unaware that even though their patriarch ascended to the Heavenly Realm as an Immortal, he didnât want family members better than him!
They didnât pass stronger Immortal techniques or cultivation methods to their family members!
"Deity, have mercy on the ancestorâs remnant soul!"
The High Priest pleaded, the family members were puzzled!
Dugu Yanâer was not present, but many family members were nearby!
They didnât understand what had transpired!
Not every cultivator can see these ghosts!
It is only because the High Priest is a Capable Being that he sees these ancestral ghost shadows!
The Cultivation World isnât devoid of ghost cultivators, those ghost cultivators use soul battles against humans, and humans can see ghosts, even fight against malicious spirits!
They use Magical Treasures to view ghosts!
Here, in the shrine, certain abilities they will not use; after all, these are ancestors!
They wonât assume their ancestors will harm them!
The High Priest hadnât anticipated that Jiang Tangâs divine body would tempt greed from their ancestral spirits!
Unable to comprehend, he faintly suspected it might be because Jiang Tang possesses strong Destiny, something even humans desire!
Jiang Tang wasnât about Soul Destruction, he merely wanted to punish that ghost!
Also considering Dugu Yanâer, he didnât obliterate the ancestral soul!
Using his Buddhist Light Array to restrain this spirit, preventing harm!
He saw this person wasnât good during his lifetime, too kind a soul doesnât fare well in the Cultivation World!
