After all, which Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator would want their Nascent Soul to one day be coveted and become a mere ingredient for someone else to advance their juniors?
If that were the case, what meaning would there be in their arduous efforts to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage?
Thus, Qingxiao True Person, having obtained this alchemy recipe, had never let a second person know of its existence, lest it bring about a fatal disaster to himself and annihilation to Green Lotus Temple.
But this time, he was willing to risk his life force and reduce his lifespan to capture Tianjing True Person’s Nascent Soul; in fact, he already harbored some ideas of refining the Holy Infant Pill, and had even prepared the necessary auxiliary materials.
Initially, he hadn’t considered giving Tianjing True Person the proposal to plant the God-Forbidding Technique, only planning to use the creation of a fifth-order Spirit Puppet as a cover, refining the Holy Infant Pill in secret.
But in the end, he still held to his principles and did not do so.
Primarily because, first, the Holy Infant Pill could only increase the Nascent Soul Formation success rate by twenty percent for late Golden Core Stage Cultivators, and second, he suspected that cultivators who took this demonic pill to form their Nascent Soul might suffer from side effects involving their personality and spirit, increasing the likelihood of straying onto an evil path.
It was only after he had scrutinized the alchemy recipe in his hands for a long time that Qingxiao True Person managed to move his gaze away with great willpower, put away the recipe, and looking towards Tianjing True Person’s Nascent Soul, he muttered under his breath, “Tianjing oh Tianjing, I hope you can be sensible. Otherwise, even if I loathe the path of wickedness, I would have to use you for refining the pill!”
…
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
During this half-year, the news of Tianjing True Person’s physical body being destroyed and his Nascent Soul captured had already spread throughout Jingguo Country and its neighbouring countries, even reaching the ears of high-level cultivators in the distant Great Zhou Kingdom.
The Cultivation World is vast, but sometimes it’s quite small.
The number of high-level cultivators is always limited, and their range of activity is broad, with various ways of communication available to them.
Therefore, in the Cultivation World, any major event that involves the life of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator easily spreads far and wide.
It’s a deliberate act by the high-level cultivators to do this, after all, no one wants to one day come across a ruthless person and offend them out of ignorance of their prowess.
Without a doubt, Qingxiao True Person had become the fearsome figure that made many Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators pale at the mere mention of his name.
As for Tianjing True Person, he had become a laughingstock, a joke within the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators’ circle.
Some even called him the most miserable Nascent Soul Stage True Person in a thousand years, who, having formed his Nascent Soul less than thirty years ago, had his physical body destroyed, his Nascent Soul captured, with an unknown fate of suffering yet to come.
Even in Jingguo Country where the incident occurred, despite half a year passing by, the various speculations and discussions regarding Tianjing True Person’s eventual outcome never ceased.
Zhou Chun, with time to spare, also speculated about it.
Of course, he was more concerned about the distribution of the Spirit Mountains and blessed lands in Lingzhou.
Unfortunately, Green Lotus Temple had yet to announce the outcome of this matter until now.
Zhou Chun guessed that the matter would probably only be dealt with after Tianjing True Person’s final fate was determined.
Just as Zhou Chun and many other cultivators were eagerly awaiting the outcome of Tianjing True Person’s situation, news that nearly everyone found jaw-dropping spread.
Tianjing True Person had returned!
He had come back to the gates of Tianjing Sect!
When Zhou Chun received this news, he too could hardly believe it, rubbing his eyes and looking over the intelligence again to ensure he wasn’t mistaken.
“This is truly… this is truly unheard of!!” Zhou Chun muttered to himself with an odd expression, speechless in his heart.
Who could have imagined, the Tianjing True Person, whose physical body had been destroyed, Nascent Soul captured, and even had sworn to annihilate everyone from Green Lotus Temple, could actually return to Tianjing Sect after being captured!
Such a bizarre turn of events was indeed unprecedented.
“Hm, the intelligence says Tianjing True Person has returned to Tianjing Sect, but it doesn’t specify whether it’s his Nascent Soul. Has he taken over another’s body and continued his cultivation?”
Suddenly, Zhou Chun seemed to notice a blind spot, his eyes narrowing slightly as he realized an important detail that wasn’t clearly mentioned in the intelligence.
This must have been a mistake made by the intelligence personnel, or rather, a limitation in their perspective, failing to discern the difference between a Nascent Soul and a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.
However, Zhou Chun thought that Tianjing True Person would not likely make an appearance using a three-inch-sized Nascent Soul.
Therefore, body-snatching for the purpose of cultivation transfer was undoubtedly a reasonable explanation.
“It seems that these past six months were likely given for Tianjing True Person to simply acclimatize after the body-snatching transfer; just don’t know which unfortunate fellow was so unlucky to lose his life without understanding why!”
Zhou Chun shook his head, also feeling great pity for the person who had been body-snatched.
To be chosen by a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator as a body-snatching target, that person’s Spirit Root Aptitude must have been outstanding, and he should have had a brilliant future.
Unfortunately, just because Tianjing True Person needed a physical body to transfer his cultivation, such a promising talent had his life cut short.
“He must have been very desperate at the time!”
Zhou Chun let out another soft sigh but knew there was little else he could do.
Indeed, body-snatching is a highly taboo act in the Cultivation World, and should a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator, or even a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, commit such an act, they could potentially bring great trouble upon themselves.
After all, there are some high-level cultivators in the Cultivation World who have either experienced body-snatching themselves or had someone close to them be the victim of it, and they particularly abhor cultivators who commit body-snatching. If they hear of such news, they would go and create trouble for the guilty party.
But if the one who snatched a body was a Nascent Soul Stage True Person, then, in all likelihood, the matter would have to be overlooked by everyone.
The Cultivation World operates like this, where the law of the jungle prevails, and the powerful are revered.
Nascent Soul Stage True Persons have already reached the pinnacle of existence in the Cultivation World, and they are some of the rule-makers.
Some so-called taboos and rules no longer apply to them as prohibitions and regulations.
The privileged class always exists everywhere.
“Let’s see what Green Lotus Temple has to say then, as long as Tianjing True Person has come back, there should no longer be a need to continue the war. It’s just unclear how they will clean up this mess going forward!”
Zhou Chun’s eyes flickered, knowing that the matter he was concerned about would soon be revealed.

As expected, just a few days after Tianjing True Person returned to Tianjing Sect, Green Lotus Temple issued an official statement.
From now on, Tianjing Sect would be renamed Tianjing Villa, with the surrounding five hundred li of territory serving as the cultivation ground for Tianjing True Person.
The remaining leaderless Spirit Lands of Lingzhou would be half awarded to certain cultivators of both Green Lotus Temple and Tianjing Sect, and half used as rewards for those cultivator families who had earlier responded to the call to quash the rebels.
Upon learning this news, Zhou Chun was very puzzled and couldn’t help but question himself, “Looking at this, it seems like the previous bet is still being upheld. But would Tianjing True Person truly be willing to become just a high-ranking worker in the future?”
Unable to figure it out, Zhou Chun didn’t dwell on it further.
He knew that due to the gap in cultivation level and social status, there were likely many secrets he was unaware of, and it was unnecessary to trouble himself and obsess over it.
Now that Green Lotus Temple had laid out the plan for dealing with the Spirit Lands of Lingzhou, the Zhou Family would just act according to the plan.
After all, the Zhou Family had made contributions to the defeat and eradication of Guo Family at Tuyun Ridge, so it should not be too difficult for them to claim a piece of the Spirit Land.
Thus, after Zhou Chun personally made a trip to Green Lotus Mountain Range, the matter was settled.
According to the requirements of Temple Master Qingwei of Green Lotus Temple, the Zhou Family could gain ownership of the Spirit Land at Tuyun Ridge by offering up two hundred thousand Spirit Coins, and its surrounding hundred li would become the Zhou Family’s legal territory.
This money would not all go to Green Lotus Temple. After receiving the money, Green Lotus Temple would need to distribute rewards to those cultivator families that had sent Foundation Establishment Cultivators to battle, and provide consolation for those who died in war.
Hence, Zhou Chun agreed to the deal, and both parties set a forty-year payment period, with Zhou Family paying five thousand Spirit Coins per year to Green Lotus Temple.
Once the deal was struck, the Zhou Family became very busy.
Tuyun Ridge was now barren land, and rebuilding would require considerable manpower and resources, while the Zhou Family also needed to relocate some Demon Beasts and mortals there, keeping them busy for a while.
