In fact, there was no taboo. During the Yellow Emperor's time, Guangchengzi passed down the "Nine Heavens Mystic Scripture". Not only did the Yellow Emperor cultivate it himself, but he also taught it to his imperial concubines. Later, they ascended together from the Emperor's mausoleum. When they reached the Heaven Realm, they also cultivated the Emperor's Fruit of Dao. There was no taboo for their officials and imperial concubines.
Even Liu An, the Duke of Huainan in the Han Dynasty, had the achievement of ascension.
However, after the Han Dynasty, cultivators gradually realized that the dynasty's karma was not conducive to ascension, so they gradually faded out of the court. After a few powerful necromancers were dragged down by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the process became faster. Until the end of the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains lost the Han Dynasty. How could the cultivators look up to the barbarian court? They were not willing to get involved in the court affairs anymore.
As for the relatives of the emperor, after many experiences, cultivators found that they were greedy for power, and the entanglement of karma was difficult to solve. This was not the nature of cultivators. Ordinary cultivators would be burdened for several generations to protect their family members to ascend. The karma of the emperor's relatives was deeply rooted, and it was a hundred times more difficult for them to ascend.
The only advantage they had was that they were powerful and could collect more resources. However, this would create karma with heaven and earth. Which cultivator would feel that the burden on his shoulders was too light and be willing to bear the burden of the karma of his disciple's family?
If there were a few unfilial, stupid, and ill-natured people … Li Jingxu only accepted two sinful disciples, but he was forced to not ascend. He had to accept a whole family of disciples! It was like a nightmare.
Since Duke Ba accepted Liu An, the Duke of Huainan, cultivators knew the nature of these people. They were not willing to get involved with them anymore, afraid that they would be entangled by them. In this world, there are plenty of people who have no parents and no worries. If they can't be a disciple, why should they go and provoke these stinking dogs?
Of course, Chen Ang could not tell her this directly. He said, "You are a stinking dog. I accepted you as my disciple, but you asked me to help your father. Even if I help your father, he will not be satisfied. He also wants to accept your brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews. In the end, the whole mermaid royal family will have to rely on me, and the whole Da Qiong Sea Kingdom will be on me!"
Isn't this a little too ungentlemanly? Although this was the truth, Chen Ang had to put it in a more tactful manner, "Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity cannot be the three things. People's lives are easy, but not easy can lead to changes. If the fate of your Royal Clan is complete and unchanging, it would be against humanity. Cultivators are the followers of the Heavenly Dao, and the Imperial Edict is the followers of the Human Dao. Celestial beings cannot offend each other! "
The Third Mermaid Princess said in disappointment, "I see! It seems like Lingsha is not fated to be with him … "
The room set up by the Mermaids was a soft bag woven from seaweed. The softest and toughest seaweed was used to weave it skillfully. Mermaids were nimble with their hands. The mermaid silk hanging in the soft pouch was as light as the clouds in the sky. It had no mass in the water. The soft pouch was woven in the same way. Chen Ang lay on it and felt very comfortable.
He could also smell the faint fragrance of the seaweed, which made him feel relaxed and happy.
The inside of the Dragon Whale was like a small palace. Chen Ang glanced around and realized that the Great Qiong Kingdom was much wealthier than the mainland. Even the Ming Dynasty couldn't compare to it. There were red corals that were five to six feet tall, glass, pearls, gold, silver, jade and porcelain. However, this palace was even more luxurious than the Imperial Palace.
The Third Princess saw that Chen Ang was admiring the palace and wanted to please him. She asked someone to bring a few bolts of silk and said gently, "Immortal, you've never been to the sea before. The other treasures are just natural treasures. We have the geographical advantage, so there's nothing to brag about. However, the silk of the mermaid is a rare treasure made by our daughter. It can best show the beauty of the daughters of the Mermaid Tribe.
"The silk of the mermaid is not extracted from plants, nor is it made by silkworms. It is made by us mermaids. With our natural ability to control water, we extract water and refine it into True Water. With our skillful hands, the finished product is as light as a feather and as soft as a cloud. When worn, it won't be affected by cold or heat, it won't get wet in water or burn in fire.
"There's a phrase in the Ming Dynasty called 'flawless', which is used to describe our silk of the mermaid!" The Third Princess smiled and said, "Immortal, you've come from afar. Although the Sea Nation is wealthy, I guess those miscellaneous things won't catch your eye. I have nine bolts of mermaid silk here, which I made myself. I'll make a Daoist robe for you, Immortal. "
The Third Princess was indeed an oddity among the Mermaid Tribe. She was so eager to learn Dao. She had tried to ask Chen Ang if he could be her disciple, but he had rejected her politely. However, she could tell from Chen Ang's tone that he was not unapproachable, so there was no possibility of him rejecting her politely. Thus, she made up her mind and hoped that Chen Ang would teach her some Dharma Spells in the future.
Although the Third Princess was a woman, she had more ideas than her brothers, and her vision was higher than her father's. The other members of the Mermaid Tribe were still obsessed with money and money, but this princess was already prepared for danger in times of peace. Everyone knew that the Mermaid Tribe was wealthy, but apart from the natural defense of the sea, they didn't have the corresponding ability to protect themselves.
Although the Itinerant Immortals from overseas had good morals and could ensure the peace of the East Ocean from the disturbances of the evil sects, ever since the third Palace Lord of the Purple Cloud Palace made friends with all kinds of unorthodox sects, the demons in the East Ocean had become more and more rampant, and sometimes they would invade the Great Qiong Sea Nation.
Moreover, the humans on land were exploring the East Ocean, and the number of people on the sea increased day by day. The Third Princess was always worried that the humans on land would have the intention to invade. She told her father about this, but the upper echelons of the Sea Nation laughed at her, saying that her worries were groundless. The humans on land didn't have the ability to live underwater, so why would they invade?
However, the news from her relatives in the South Ocean told the Third Princess that this wasn't the case.
The Red Barbarian Pirates who had settled in the South Ocean a few hundred years ago had started to invade and kill the mermaids of the South Ocean, robbing their wealth and population. In recent years, they had become more and more offensive.
The Third Princess often advised her father, but her father despised her. She had no choice but to find another way, hoping to become a disciple of a wise master, cultivate good skills, and protect the Sea Nation. Over the years, she had often made friends with cultivators, hoping that they could help the Great Qiong Sea Nation, but there had been no progress.
Therefore, when she saw Chen Ang today, she was especially respectful, hoping that he could learn some Dharma Spells and skills to protect the people of the Sea Nation.
Chen Ang thought to himself, Even if she had fallen into her trap, it was still reasonable. Although Chen Ang didn't want to take this disciple and let the entire Sea Nation ride on his coattails, he was also quite sympathetic. He didn't want to let her take advantage of him. Moreover, the Great Qiong Sea Nation was very close to the Purple Cloud Palace, so it was an excellent chess piece.
