My Wives Are Too Overpowered

Chapter 148 Jungban

"My child…"

Alex was pulled in a dark domain of some sort. He didn't resist himself being pulled and acted innocent.

Once he was here, he saw a white outline of roughly the deity's body.

It was a gigantic figure, but Alex knew that in real life, this guy had a normal body size.

This guy was impressed by Alex, but of course, that wasn't enough for him to make an appearance like that.

He checked Alex's potential after being impressed and realizing how great it was, he ended up paying him a visit.

Alex didn't have any blessing from other deities and was cultivating through Genes. This made him stand out and the immortal thought that Alex was a superhuman or something of sort.

The thing he spoke to Alex was really just what every other deity would do.

He asked Alex what he wished to have. He would fulfill that wish of his and that Alex shouldn't hesitate in wishing.

Alex was waiting to hear it and simply looked at the guy and stated in a meek tone that he wanted to see someone called Jungban of the Seven Cadets.

The immortal was amused after hearing that, but granted Alex his wish, since it wasn't very difficult to do so.

Jungban was his subordinate and the Seven Cadets was one of the strongest squads he possessed.

Even though he had no idea as to how Alex knew of him, the immortal didn't question him.

It was common for strong people to go into weaker worlds and try to gain worshippers. Jungban may have done something similar and Alex may have seeked to see him.

The domain around Alex changed and he was immediately teleported to some other place, in a forest of some sort where there were steps leading somewhere.

Alex followed those steps and eventually reached a temple.

In this temple, he saw the idol of a man wearing a big pearl necklace, bracelets, and anklets.

He was in a meditative position and Alex thought that he might be Jungban.

Alex performed a normal praying ritual in this temple and in no time, he was pulled into a domain, where he found this same man.

"Speak, child. Why do you seek me?" Jungban asked in a calm tone.

Alex looked at him with a neutral expression, his previous innocent facade gone, and asked, "Jungban of the Seven Cadets. A domineering monk in the Pristine Palace army."

Jungban, who had his eyes closed and in a meditative position, opened it in surprise and looked at Alex.

"A monk whose affiliation doesn't lay with the hands that feed him. A monk who believes in the supremacy of the almighty Longsheng's legacy and wants to walk down that path. A monk… that's willing to betray everything for the big dream."

Jungban's eyes widened in surprise, but being a monk, despite feeling greatly shocked, he didn't comment anything and just stared at Alex, wondering how he knew so much about him.

Alex expected such a reaction from him. Monks were formidable, no matter what level they were at.

Jungban was just a minor fry in the whole grand scheme of things, but was an important piece whose use Alex had to make.

Looking at him staring, Alex continued, "Jungban, I don't give a flying fuck about whether you're a spy or a traitor or anything else per se. Do some jobs for me and I'll give you the proper rewards in return. That's about it and that's about all the reason why I contacted you."

Jungban fell silent hearing that.

This was the first time in his life that something like this had occurred. Never had he expected himself to be fully exposed and out in the open.

Jungban had never put out his feelings in the open or shared anything with anyone. He was a wandering monk whose very purpose in life was to walk down the path of the almighty Longsheng.

Longsheng was a mythical entity that he knew very little about. Only in really ancient records was it mentioned as to what prowess he possessed and who he was and what he did.

The only thing that remained in the open regarding him were his teachings and principles of life.

Life as an immortal was really boring and there was not much meaning to it. However, Longsheng's tracing brought importance, purpose, and wisdom to focus on living this long life.

After going through his teachings, Jungban had realized his purpose and he wanted to walk down that path.

If possible, he also wanted to meet Longshen to whom he considered as his God.

With Alex stating such things, it made Jungban really bothered and skeptical.

What bothered him the most was how did Alex know of him and secondly, how did he know of Longshen and his legacy?

Were things regarding Longsheng out in the open for everybody? No, that shouldn't be the case.

Literally nothing regarding him was available and Jungban knew about it as he had tried to search for every single piece of Longsheng's legacy, but found nothing of importance anywhere.

Then how? How did Alex know? This was something that was really bothering him now.

Still, playing it off cool, Jungban asked, "What rewards are you staying? This monk does not care about worldly desires."

Jungban wasn't stupid. He knew that asking Alex important questions would not result in any answers. Thus, it was better to just ask for different things instead and try to figure out what his motive was and who he was.

Alex was naturally aware of all these tactics. But still, he played along and told the rewards.

The rewards were related to Longsheng's legacy and this greatly enticed Jungban.

But, keeping a check on his enthusiasm and surprise, Jungban asked, "Do you really have everything you stated? Where did you get those?"

This was him trying to make Alex open up and give out a few important pieces of information.

"That's not for you to know." Alex answered, knowing full well what Jungban was trying to do.

Jungban, still being really calm, replied, "If you cannot show me the rewards you mentioned, I won't do the thing you are asking me to do."

Alex hadn't stated yet as to what things he wanted Jungban to do, but there was nothing that was stopping Jungban from declining his offer.

Jungban firstly believed Longsheng followers were really less. Even if they were, having resources of him was next to impossible.

Either Alex was making a funny joke or he really did have them and wasn't joking. Regardless of things, Jungban was willing to bet on the fact that Alex didn't have them.

One should just look at Jungban himself. Despite being such a hardcore follower, he barely got anything regarding Longsheng and was always in search of it.

There was no way another believer like him existed. That's what Jungban had always thought about, despite being a monk.

There was visible pride in him and this was definitely something worrying for a monk.

In any case, Alex couldn't care less about it.

He simply spent some coins in the system shop menu and purchased a few items that were related to Longsheng's legacy.

Longsheng was a monk too and someone who had ascended from the Lower Realm to the Higher Realm.

He was actually a big serious monk and Jungban could never compare to him.

Jungban was a betrayer and a failure of a monk. But well, that was another topic altogether and Alex didn't want to dwell on the things he had done in the second regression turn.

His goal was to coax him into working for him and he was trying to complete that.

As the shop items Alex had purchased came into his inventory, he began constructing a few things that were related to Longsheng.

It took him a few minutes, but once he was done, he presented them to Jungban.

As Jungban held the items Alex had given him, his face turned into that of shock. His whole being trembled and he couldn't stand straight anymore with how much his legs were shaking.

As mentioned before by Alex, he was a failure as a monk. What he chased after was not a path of salvation, but a path of entertainment.

He wanted his life to always be spiced up and thus, he had become a monk to involve himself in people's drama without actually involving himself in.

This was his way of living and it was just how it was.

As Jungban came to his senses after a while, he realized Alex really wasn't joking when he said he had rewards for him.

Jungban kept the items Alex had shared with himself and then asked Alex, "I am ready, but to accept your orders would depend on what sort of thing you want me to do in return."

Alex smiled. This was what he wanted to hear. If this was a true monk he was dealing with then negotiations wouldn't be this easy.

Alex put one a finger and said, "The first thing…"
