In the world of nature, itâs already not bad to avoid harming others, and if one is harmed, of course they will fight back!
Didnât Jiang Tang also kill quite a few people?
Because he was upholding justice, no matter how many people he killed, it wouldnât tarnish his name!
But that remnant soul was different, perhaps it had ill intentions and harmed good people too!
During the resource scramble, it killed many people, the family didnât know!
The outsiders didnât know!
The Worm Poison was too potent, too domineering, many cultivators feared such pets.
Jiang Tang had special abilities; at the time, he had the Hell Palace. When he first met Dugu Yanâer, he sent the gift of Worm Poison into the Hell Palace, exterminating the insects!
Only then did he subdue Dugu Yanâer!
The punishment Jiang Tang gave to the ghostly shadow was to ensure it could never use Worm Poison again, and because it was a remnant soul of an Immortal, it could never cultivate a physical body again!
It would be confined, forever becoming a ghost in this ancestral hall!
Nor would he believe that such an evil-minded ancestor would protect the descendants!
Itâs enough if they donât exert pressure and cause chaos for them!
The High Priest noticed the ancestorâs shadow was still there and quickly called Jiang Tang outside to sit, ensuring he was well-received!
Daring not to let him come here again, what if he extinguished the souls of the ancestors?
What Jiang Tang did in the ancestral hall was tightly kept under wraps by those people, not telling Dugu Yanâer!
Jiang Tang, even more so, wouldnât talk about the ancestorsâ shortcomings to Dugu Yanâer!
Today is his joyous day, bringing the bride to the base, and tomorrow is the grand nuptial ceremony.
He wanted to give Dugu Yanâer some face and not spread their family matters!
Only the High Priest might have seen what just happened; others couldnât see the ghosts, not because they couldnât, but because the ghostâs level was too high, beyond their vision!
Or perhaps the ghostâs abilities were too strong, they were sealed off, unable to see anything.
Maybe thatâs why these ghosts, left with secrets in every cultivator familyâs ancestral hallâthe ones that died unexpected deaths or those that reached bottlenecks in cultivation but couldnât extend their lifespan, became ghosts at the end of their life span!
Jiang Tang had heard that some families reared zombies in secret!
Rather than raising ancestorsâ corpses into zombies, itâs better for their souls to once again cultivate as ghosts!
As for the talk of reincarnating as humans, they say that those who have cultivated can never reincarnate and become human again!
After all, for many who have experienced Cultivation, itâs hard to accept accidental death or the inability to become immortal!
No matter what they face in the Netherworld, reincarnating again!
They would cultivate as ghosts to become immortals, why would they want to reincarnate?
Generally, those who cultivate into Ghost Immortals are often in the Nascent Soul Stage or above; possessing the Primordial Spirit, they are more suited to cultivate into Ghost Immortals, regaining physical form, similar to past cultivators!
However, once they become ghosts, they canât appear before their family anymore!
But they would appear in a secretive way, or they would secretly use family resources for cultivation!
Of course, some Ghost Immortals would secretly cultivate, and when they find a human body with extraordinary aptitude, they may have evil thoughts of seizing anotherâs body to become an Immortal faster!
Just like that malicious ancestor of Dugu Yanâer earlierâclearly, he had already visited, acknowledging himself as a son-in-law.
Though Dugu Yanâer is his descendent, had he truly seized the body, would it not mean enjoying his body and marrying his own descendant?
The thought of it chilled Jiang Tang, thinking it was already lenient to give him a beating earlier.
Tang Yanqing looked at Tang Yanran with a complicated gaze; this cousin in the same clan married a much more powerful man than the one she fancied!
She too had followed a man into the Saint Sect, fancying a man from the Top Ten Clans like another girl!
Initially, it was merely a rivalry with the other; Lin Daiyu thought she was stealing Duguâs husband. At that time, she wasnât taken by the man!
The reason she became another of Duguâs husbandâs women along with Lin Daiyu was due to Tang Yanran. The family didnât think it inappropriate for both women to fancy one man!
If both married one man, it wouldnât matter who was who!
But the man she married wasnât that powerful, and the family didnât place much importance on them!
Seeing the hard-earned success of Tang Yanran, her gaze was complex; during Jiang Tangâs disappearance these past years, her sister had faced much pressure in the family!
The pressure was due to family gossip!
Additionally, Tang Yanranâs father had other thoughts: since Jiang Tang disappeared, his base would become part of their family resources!
He hoped more family members would use those bases for cultivation!
And ordered Tang Yanran, if she found someone better, not to be fixated on Jiang Tang!
After all, someone who disappeared for one or two years might never return!
Some people in the Cultivation World go out for divine tribulation, and some donât come back for months!
One to two years might pass without return, but these people usually went to a specific place for divine tribulation, aiming to gain something and hence went out for so long!
The family knew where they went.
Jiang Tang and Ye Tian went missing from a certain place, and their people couldnât find them even after digging in that area!
It was said they entered an Illusion Realm, and they feared something terrible had happened inside!
But it was heard that Ye Tianâs Soul Lamp was not extinguished, meaning he was trapped!
Nobody expected that Jiang Tang, who went missing, would return stronger, becoming the first Deity in the Cultivation World, and the foremost Mortal God!
No cultivator in the Cultivation World was stronger than him!
Tang Yanran received the blessings of her sisters, feeling happiness beneath her expression.
She was a girl who liked using poison, and aside from a few good sisters in the clan, she had no friends outside!
Lately, she had companions forming sisterly bonds, thanks to Jiang Tang, who brought them together.
Tang Yanran hadnât fought with her sisters during this time; when trouble arose, they remained united!
Compared to before when Jiang Tang was around, it was much less harmonious!
Yet each of them missed Jiang Tang; during lonely times, they practiced cultivation to ease their sorrow!
Now Jiang Tang returned to marry her; for all the past bitterness, there is now as much happiness!
Whenever she saw Lin Dandanâs children, claiming she wasnât jealous would be a lie.
Jealous like the other girls, because Jiang Tang only had a super intimate relationship with Lin Dandan.
Although they were girlfriends, occasionally hugging or stealing kisses, they never crossed that line.
Tang Yanran summoned Jin Cancan to set up a Formation for herself; no matter what, today and tomorrow, she would be the most beautiful, not bumped or harmed by others!
Tang Yanran, of course, also put her dowry among the jewelry she wore!
Jiang Tang brought the betrothal gifts, and her family sent back part of the betrothal gifts along with the dowry!
She didnât refuse; Jiang Tang had given many good things to her family yesterday!
Thoughtfully, everyone received gifts; only the quantity varied!
These belonged to her, so of course, she would take them away!
She also knew that as Jiang Tangâs woman, she would have more good things, not lacking these.
Every woman wants a rich dowry, more than her sisters when marrying.
Dowries represent family emphasis and parentsâ favoritism.
Since Jiang Tang gave so many betrothal gifts, too little dowry would be awkward.
Tang Yanranâs dowries were itemized, and once there, someone might recite the list.
All the bridesâ dowries would be displayed!
Looking at this place, it would be her new home.
Tang Yanran felt a bit reluctant, but without tears, she left with Jiang Tang amidst her familyâs gaze.
Relatives came to bid her farewell, and the whole process was very natural.
Tang Yanranâs smiling face was constant, today and tomorrow would be her happiest and most glorious days in life.
