After Yang Jian left, the Seven Immortals of Plum Mountain remained caught up in excitement and disbelief. In less than a year, they had been through such incredible ups and downs.
The seven brothers had no backing and ordinary origins. They had pursued the Dao for many years without ever encountering a truly great opportunity. Given their shallow foundations, it was remarkable that each of them had managed to reach the Mysterious Immortal realm.
Knowing how difficult life was for unaffiliated cultivators in the Primordial World, Yuan Hong and his brothers usually kept to their little corner of Plum Mountain. They were cautious and rarely ventured out.
If the Spiritual Fruit they had carefully cultivated for a hundred years to help Yuan Hong break through hadn't been stolen and eaten by Howling Celestial Dog, the seven brothers wouldn't have been so furious that they went down the mountain to hunt the thief.
But it was precisely because of that incident that they had met Yang Jian. The Good Corpse of Great Immortal Zhenyuan, an Earthly Dao Saint, Daoist Qingmu, had taken a liking to them, bringing them into the Earth Immortal Lineage. Yuan Hong had even gained a Divine Position.
"Big Brother, I can hardly believe it—we've joined the Earth Immortal Lineage. We're disciples under a Saint!"
Their youngest brother, Yang Xian, still couldn't contain his excitement.
"Great Immortal Zhenyuan is a newly ascended Earthly Dao Saint. That means we've joined the Earthly Dao, too. With Empress Pingxin and Saint Zhenyuan protecting us, the Seven Immortals of Plum Mountain finally have powerful backing."
"Exactly, Big Brother. You actually have a trace of Chaos Demon Ape bloodline. I wonder what kind of origins that Tongbei Ape Monkey Daoist Qingmu mentioned has. As a rare Primordial World species, it must be extraordinary."
