Tao Qian cast a spell to clear Aunt Si's Heart Soul of filth, then hurriedly returned to Ascending Immortal Island.
His cultivation is now quite high, and even though he hasn't yet diligently practiced the [Divination Technique], he can clearly sense some karmic tribulations related to himself.
Previously, there were doubts, but after hearing Aunt Pan Si's inner thoughts and touching her body, Tao Qian immediately realized.
"No wonder the Sect Master didn't intervene to solve Aunt Si's fatal tribulation, it's because I am her Emotional Tribulation."
"If others were to rescue her, she would inevitably revert to that habit, with her body and soul ensnared in a web repeatedly tainted by filth and dust, eventually falling and becoming a Spirit Spider rotting within countless scrolls."
"If I were to rescue her, there is a slight chance she could overcome the tribulation, and in the future, not only could she break Perfect Ultimate Happiness but also hope to reach the Daoist Transformation Realm."
"The Sect Master is a riddler, and I am a tool man?"
Tao Qian secretly complained in his heart.
He originally thought that having reached the "Perfect Realm of Ultimate Happiness" was quite good.
With high enough cultivation and strong enough divine skills, life is perfect, and he could absolutely live carefree for a period of time, a few decades or even centuries.
Now, Tao Qian suddenly felt:
"My cultivation is still not enough. The Sect Master seems like an [enhanced version of Duobao Daoist], even darker and more enigmatic. Could it be his Divination Technique is also cultivated well, and maybe he's also...?"
"So regretful, so regretful, I still need to diligently cultivate, step into Daoist Transformation sooner, and truly attain carefreeness."
As much as Tao Qian joked about complaining, it was impossible for him to refuse to save someone.
He actually liked Aunt Pan Si very much, and saving her life, given his nature, was something he couldn't ignore.
But after saving her, he later realized it was quite tricky. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁
Aunt Pan Si's fondness for him was too high, deeply trapped in her Emotional Tribulation, and no matter what request Tao Qian posed to her, she would likely not refuse.
And as for Master Tao himself, although not to that extent, he similarly could not refuse any requests as long as they weren't overly excessive.
"Why are there still tribulations within the Mountain Gate?"
"I must avoid them for now."
After thinking it over, Tao Qian suddenly took a piece of Jade Paper and wrote down the names of many people, planning to invite them to the wedding.
Although his time in cultivation has been short, he indeed has quite a few friends.
For instance, the people from the [National Salvation Congress] in the Demon City back then, such as Li Wenyan, Shi Yingqiong, and other Daoists.
Or those heroes from the [Ancestor Dragon Society] in the New Moon Province, like Lin Bujue, Chen Xiyi, Qi Daozhen, each sharing similar aspirations, so naturally, they must be invited.
Besides that, there are also others with close karmic connections that need to be invited.
Even the two bosses who helped Tao Qian sell books in a bookstore in Seeking Immortal County have been written down.
After confirming nothing was missing, Tao Qian summoned Zhong Doudou and handed over the Jade Paper, saying:
"Send this list to Aunt Pan Si, all listed are friends I made while entering the mortal world to undergo tribulations; they need to be sent invitations."
"And there is one close friend whose current residence is rather special, so I will personally go to invite them."
Having explained these matters, Tao Qian found a good excuse and left Ascending Immortal Island, departed from the Penglai Sea, and went to the Mortal World.
Although he left partly to avoid Aunt Pan Si, there was indeed one person he wanted to invite personally.
Not anyone else, but Xiao Hua Daoist.
"Back then in Seeking Immortal County, Xiao Hua Daoist entrusted all his possessions, along with Little Age and Lian Jing'er, those two youngsters, to me. Without that part, I couldn't have survived the [Fragrant Meat Collection] tribulation among the Spirit Treasure Three Calamities."
"Now I've acquired some divine skills, and Little Age and Lian Jing'er have both grown significantly, while Xiao Hua Daoist... mm, it seems he's also in quite a good situation."
In a flash of thought, Tao Qian's mind conjured up Lin Xiaohua's current condition.
It's not that he had already practiced the Divination Technique; that worm is still within him and has not integrated into the Longevity Realm, so he does not plan to make rash decisions.
The information about Lin Xiaohua was obtained through the Ancestor Spirit Daoist.
Inside the Longevity Realm, there are few things they don't know.
A brief mental communication provided the answer:
"Lin Xiaohua, Prince Consort of the No Food Ghost Country, is now in the Perfection of Cavernous Mystery Realm, and is the lord of the Prince Consort City in the country."
"His wife, Pei Niannu, recently stepped into the Ultimate Happiness Realm; both husband and wife are extraordinarily talented and have the potential to reach the Ghost Immortal Realm."
"The No Food Ghost Country is currently situated within the Demon City, widely opening the Ghost Gate and aggressively absorbing ghost people."
"This move is akin to competing for resources with the rulers of the Demon City. The current governor, [Green Lotus Master Chen Qun], once suggested to Si Xixin that Xixin Mansion send troops to punish the No Food Ghost Country but was reprimanded and rejected."
"Chen Qun comes from a small sect, unaware of the origins of the No Food Country."
"Lin Xiaohua and Pei Niannu, although they don't have extremely strong combat powers, the No Food Country Master is not only in the Perfect Ultimate Happiness Realm but also wields several Ghost Dao Treasures, capable of unleashing Daoist Transformation Realm divine skills at any time and can also enter the Outer Realm with the No Food Country at any moment."
"What truly holds Si Xixin back from acting rashly is the origin of the Ghost Dao lineage of the No Food Country Master, rumored to be associated with an ancient divine spirit [Earth Mother] residing in the depths of the Outer Realm Abyss."
"Even if it's just a possibility, the No Food Country Master never admitted or denied it, so Si Xixin dared not take action."
Upon seeing these secrets, Tao Qian couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
With his current level of knowledge, he naturally knows the status of this divine spirit.
If truly deliberated, the high status of this ancient god, Earth Mother, is not much lower than his family's Lingbao Tianzun.
"Just wondering, why did these 'gods' who once sheltered the Ten Thousand Spirits of the Human Clan in ancient times eventually go to settle in the Outer Realm Abyss."
