Mountains and Seas Divide Those in Love, and Neither Can Be Leveled

"You wicked disciple, what do you have to say?"

Seeing this scene before him, the Daoist Qianji was momentarily at a loss for how to reprimand his disciple.

Even now, Minglian's expression remained resolute. "Xue Yan hasn't betrayed me, so how could I betray her?"

"Master, you always say that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude, and Xue Yan also saved my life."

Upon hearing this, Qianji stroked his beard and angrily said, "Didn't your master teach you that we cultivators should uphold justice and protect all living beings? You must know what the Human Race Karmic Fortune represents!"

Upon hearing this, Minglian froze on the spot, momentarily at a loss for words.

Looking at the scene before him, the Daoist Qianji closed his eyes and sighed, "Slay this demon."

"Master?"

"Uncle-Master?"

Upon hearing this, countless disciples present gasped in surprise, probably never expecting that Daoist Qianji would actually kill the snow ferret spirit so readily.

"Uncle-Master, is there absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter?"

The disciples of Jade Void Mountain couldn't help but speak up at this moment.

Having traveled with the other party for some time, they had come to understand each other's temperament and felt they should give the other party a chance.

To execute him so easily—isn't that a bit too inhumane?

Seeing that his disciples were now pleading for mercy, Qingyun couldn't help but glare at them.

It seems their cultivation is still incomplete; they act as if they can plead for leniency in everything.

"Where did all your cultivation go during your time training in the mortal realm?"

He already felt that his disciples were lacking in talent and skill.

These things are still tolerable, but what if one's character and moral conduct are lacking? That would be unacceptable.

"We simply believe that Xue Yan and my junior brother are truly in love and should be given a chance."

At this moment, Xuan Yi couldn't help but grit his teeth and say.

Qingyun looked at his disciple, raised his hand, then lowered it, letting out a sigh identical to that of Daoist Qianji.

Those sighs indicated that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

The disciples understood what was happening and were all startled.

"Senior!"

The disciples of Jade Void Mountain turned to look at Fang Zelin, hoping Fang Zelin would say a word for them.

Seeing these people turn around and plead with him for mercy, Fang Zelin felt a bit overwhelmed.

After a moment of contemplation, he gave a bitter smile and said, "My beloved is separated by mountains and seas, and those mountains and seas cannot be leveled."

"Well"

After saying that, Fang Zelin sighed, took the wine gourd from his waist, and took a sip.

There was nothing he could do about it.

"My beloved is separated by mountains and seas, and those mountains and seas cannot be leveled."

Upon hearing this, Minglian murmured to himself, somewhat lost in thought.

The disciples of Jade Void Mountain were all stunned, most of them not expecting Senior Fang to say such a thing.

But after a moment, Minglian still asked with some reluctance, "Is there really no way? Xue Yan and I are truly in love! We are cultivators, our cultivation is extraordinary, how could we not be able to subdue this mountain and sea!"

"You unfilial disciple, don't you understand?"

Seeing that his disciple had not yet come to his senses, Daoist Qianji sighed deeply.

"This ferret spirit stole some of the Human Race Karmic Fortune and left. By falling in love with you, it can absolve itself of responsibility. How should future cultivators conduct themselves?"

"In the future, all the demons in the world will only need to find a cultivator, seize the opportunity to have sex with him, and then they can recklessly steal the Human Race Karmic Fortune? How can we cultivators still be considered cultivators then?"

The Daoist Qianji looked solemn.

This matter absolutely cannot be discussed, especially since it involves one's own disciple; it's even more impossible then.

These disciples couldn't understand the intricacies involved, but cultivators of their generation saw it clearly.

As Fellow Daoist Fang said, mountains and seas cannot be leveled; this involves more than just mountains and seas.

And what about the future impact on cultivators?

If what our predecessors upheld for so long is broken today, they will all become sinners for all time.

What if this affects other cultivators in the future?

As a cultivator, how can one steal from others? By then, they will all have become Devil Cultivator.

The ferret spirit remained kneeling on the ground, and aside from kowtowing and begging for forgiveness at the beginning, it did not utter another word afterward.

Hearing this, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Minglang, please don't make things difficult for the immortals anymore. It was my greed that led me to think that if I could absorb a little bit of Human Race Karmic Fortune to boost my cultivation, I could spend more time with you in the future."

"A moment of greed stirred in my heart, and I can't blame anyone else. When I was with Minglang, he always reminded me not to do anything wicked or crooked."

"It's because I'm too stupid."

At this point, two clear tears streamed down the ferret spirit's cheeks. "Esteemed immortals, let us begin!"

"Don't want!"

Upon hearing this, Minglian's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly stepped forward, "Master, please, for the sake of my past protection of the righteous path, let me share the punishment and spare her life!"

Seeing his own disciple pleading for mercy, Qianji's expression changed before he looked at the other fellow Daoists.

Fellow Daoists.

Upon hearing this, the fellow cultivators nearby showed a hint of unease on their faces.

As cultivators, they already knew in their hearts whether or not they could spare the other party.

Daoist Qianji understood the underlying principle and immediately continued, "My temple has a Pill Furnace. With the power of the pill fire, I believe it is possible to re-extract the Human Race Karmic Fortune it has absorbed."

"If we can re-condense this Human Race Karmic Fortune and return it to Human Race, then this matter won't be considered favoritism on our part. What do you fellow Daoists think?"

The other Daoists were taken aback upon hearing this, then frowned in unison. "This method of refining demons is not as good as giving her a quick death. The elixir fire will burn her Primordial Spirit; I'm afraid no demon can withstand that."

"Yes, and if she manages to Human Race Karmic Fortune and damages its foundation, she won't have much time left to live."

At this moment, everyone felt that this method was indeed somewhat cruel, and it would be better to just give the other party a quick death.

"Esteemed immortals, this humble demon is willing to give it a try; I hope you will grant my request!"

The ferret spirit knelt to one side, having thought she was doomed, never expecting her opponent to have such methods.

He was immediately taken aback, but quickly agreed.

Even the most painful experience is still better than having all hope completely extinguished!

Moreover, she felt she could withstand such a fiery ordeal.

"Are you sure? Several fellow Daoists have already mentioned that this method will cause you more pain than death."

The Daoist Qianji looked at the snow ferret spirit and asked again.

Upon hearing this, the ferret spirit nodded without the slightest hesitation, its eyes filled with unwavering determination.

To be with Minglang, she was willing to risk everything, even go through excruciating pain.
