"Heaven bears witness! Today I swear that if the person before me helps me revive the Moon Camp, I will do my utmost to help her explore the Ghost Town!
If you break this oath, your path will be cut off!"
Shangguan Ning did not ask Xiang Sheng's name, nor did he care about her identity. He simply raised three fingers and swore an oath.
Rumble...
Suddenly, there was a sound of thunder in the void, and then a trace of red lightning floated down, sank into his eyebrows and disappeared.
The oath has taken effect.
Shangguan Ning put down his hand and looked at Xiang Sheng, "It's your turn."
Since it is a transaction, the oath is naturally relative.
Xiang Sheng smiled and also swore an oath. The content of the oath was almost the same as Shangguan Ning's, except that the order of the last two sentences was swapped.
Shangguan Ning looked at the ray of heavenly thunder sinking into Xiang Sheng's brow, and a bit of confusion appeared in his eyes, but he soon became firm again.
She didn't know whether her choice was right or wrong, but since she had made the decision, there was absolutely no reason to regret it.
She exhaled deeply and sat down, "To maintain the glory of the clan, there must be at least one Xuanxian who perfectly masters a great way every 100,000 years to support the clan.
However, in the path of cultivating immortality, talent is paramount, and talent depends on one's luck. While it's not uncommon for powerful beings to form partnerships and give birth to offspring with average talent, it does exist.
Do you know how clans like our Shangguan and Ji families have managed to maintain their prosperity?"
Xiang Sheng was slightly surprised when he heard this. Instead of answering, he asked, "If an immortal lives as long as the heavens, why would he need a successor?"
Shangguan Ning didn't expect Xiang Sheng to ask such a...simple question.
It seems that this girl's background is extremely poor.
A thought flashed through her mind, but she showed no abnormality on the surface. She shook her head and said, "If I live as long as the sky, will I be immortal?
There are too many things involved here to explain in a moment. You only need to know that the clan needs a successor. As for the rest, you will understand it when you have further cultivation.
Xiang Sheng knew that Shangguan Ning was not unable to explain, but was unwilling to tell her the reason without any explanation, so he was vague.
She didn't reveal it, but nodded slightly to show that she understood.
Shangguan Ning no longer expected her to answer the previous question and continued, "Talent depends on one's luck, but some special paths can be inherited by future generations.
My Shangguan ancestors once opened up such a special avenue. Whoever inherits this avenue will be able to cross the threshold of the Daluo Jinxian!
Breaking into the Xuanxian realm is only a matter of time."
When Xiang Sheng heard this, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "You want to inherit this great way, and this great way is related to the revitalization of the Moon Camp?"
Shangguan Ning's heart skipped a beat, surprised at the other party's sharpness, and then his eyes looked at Xiang Sheng with even more admiration.
"good!"
She frankly admitted, "The path pioneered by my Shangguan ancestors is called Grand Aspiration. Future generations must make a Grand Aspiration when they achieve celestial immortality."
The more difficult the wish, the more rewards the Dao will receive after achieving it. And whoever receives the most rewards will be the next heir to the Dao.
When I became a celestial being, I was just over 600 years old and still young and frivolous.
At that time, I saw female fairies with mediocre talents, who were desperate in their pursuit of the great way and were willing to become playthings of their clan brothers.
However, ordinary male immortals can use their military merits to carve out a way for themselves in the four armies of the Immortal Palace.
The four armies of the Immortal Palace are all male immortals, and the number of female immortals can be counted on one hand.
I felt indignant, so I vowed to establish a women's army and create a legitimate path to advancement for all the female immortals in the world!
Recalling the scene of the oath, Shangguan Ning smiled, "Once this oath was made, the avenue was shaken, and I immediately became the first since the founding of the Shangguan clan.
The elders in my clan therefore placed great hopes on me and were willing to remove obstacles for me to ascend to the position of leader of the Red and Blue Army."
At this point, Shangguan Ning's smile faded, his eyes turning cold: "But after my grandmother died, everything changed.
I have a cousin named Shangguan Qian. He followed my example and took the same vow, but he replaced the female immortal with a male immortal.
But male immortals already have the upper hand in the Immortal Palace. He was afraid that the oath was too simple and could not overcome me, so he added another one.
He wants to exterminate all female immortals and ban all women in the star realm from cultivating, forcing them to be slaves for eternity!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiang Sheng's eyes narrowed immediately, "Thinking that there are many female immortals among the powerful people in the Immortal Palace, they didn't stop it?"
"Of course."
Shangguan Ning raised his eyebrows, his face cold and murderous: "But there are more supporters!
If it weren't for Palace Master Ye Qing resisting the pressure, I would have died in obscurity on the day Shangguan Qian swore his oath."
Palace Master Yeqing?
When Xiang Sheng heard these four words, she felt that they sounded familiar. Soon, she remembered that this person was Ji Qingya's master.
"Is Palace Master Yeqing a woman?" she asked.
Shangguan Ning's expression softened slightly, and she nodded, curiously asking, "Palace Master Ye Qing is a legendary figure, renowned among female cultivators. How could you possibly have never heard of her?"
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly, "Commander Shangguan, just treat me as someone who is ignorant."
Shangguan Ning looked at Xiang Sheng deeply, and without asking any more questions, he got back to business:
"I have made this ambition. I know the road ahead will be difficult, but there is no turning back. If I fail, everything I have will be liquidated, and even my life will be in danger.
So as long as you are willing to help me, I will do my best to help you!"
Xiang Sheng looked at Shangguan Ning's sincere face, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked:
"Aren't you afraid that I'm a spy sent by Shangguan Qian?"
Shangguan Ning's heart skipped a beat, but he soon smiled: "When you employ someone, trust him; when you doubt him, don't employ him. I trust my own judgment.
Besides, except for those spineless people who are obsessed with climbing up the social ladder, all female cultivators would not stand on Shangguan Qian's side, right?
If you can explore Huacheng alone, it can't be the former."
Xiang Sheng pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Breaking the impasse is difficult. I have to resort to extraordinary measures. I'm afraid I won't be able to abide by the rules and regulations of the Red and Green Army. If I cause trouble, what will you do?"
Shangguan Ning didn't want someone who followed the rules. Hearing this, he felt even happier and said loudly:
"What's the big deal? As long as you don't get caught, I'll keep you safe as long as I'm the commander!"
"I still need help."
Xiang Sheng then made a request, "There are too few people in the Moon Camp right now."
Shangguan Ning was not surprised to see Xiang Sheng knew the situation in Yueying. Many female fairies had left Yueying recently, and the news had spread long ago.
"I do have a helper. Although he's a bit old-fashioned, he's loyal enough to be useful."
She frowned, a look of worry on her face. "But the Moon Camp's lack of people is a problem. They suffered tragically in the beast tide. Even if I open up the recruitment restrictions, I'm not sure anyone will come."
Xiang Sheng thought for a moment and asked, "Can I recruit them myself?"
