48: Chapter 48 Scumbag? I'm really not!

"If he truly is Wushang's son, it's a good opportunity for them to bond and change Nianyang's attitude toward his father," Jiang Daoran thought to himself.

He secretly glanced at Xie Wushang and Jiang Nianyang.

No matter how he looked at them, the two of them felt strikingly similar.

However, Jiang Nianyang didn't seem to have a good impression of his daddy earlier, so Jiang Daoran didn't dare to state it explicitly.

He could only say that the little fellow looked more like Jiang Tianxing.

Otherwise, if it provoked the little fellow's aversion towards Wushang, the gains would not outweigh the losses.

"Live together with Uncle Wushang?" Jiang Nianyang looked toward Xie Wushang.

"No way..." In the Sea of Consciousness, the spirit of tianyang treasure mirror said, "He is your competitor after all..."

"Hehe, Little Brother Nianyang, I find you very amiable too. Perhaps we really are relatives," Jiang Ruoxi smiled with her brows curved like crescent moons. "Why don't you live in the Tianxing Divine Palace with my daddy... That way, we can go play together often."

"Very well!" Jiang Nianyang nodded.

He looked at the loving father and filial child appearance of Jiang Ruoxi and Xie Wushang, feeling a bit of yearning in his heart.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the spirit of tianyang treasure mirror anxiously tried to persuade him, "Disciple, you are still young... You don't know how many bones litter the Emperor's Road. You belong to the same generation and both Cultivate the Dao of the Sun. After all... there are only so many Emperor fruit positions for the fire-type Dao... If the Daos you Cultivate are the same, you are destined to be mortal enemies in the future. Living together right now is likely inappropriate!"

To prove the Dao and become an Emperor, one must Cultivate a certain Dao Law to Perfection, thereby bearing the Dao of that Law.

For the same Law, only one person can bear the Dao.

If that Dao already has an Emperor, even if others Cultivate it, they will never be able to prove the Dao and become an Emperor in their entire lives.

Unless... this Emperor falls.

The Dao returns to the heavens and earth, regathering the Dao fruit, and only then can later generations bear it.

Some immortal Emperor Clans would even ambush and kill Emperors who bear the same Dao for the sake of their own descendants proving the Dao.

"It's fine," Jiang Nianyang said. "I feel that Uncle Wushang and Ruoxi are not bad people. I'm just competing with them fairly."

"What is there to fear?"

He was filled with confidence.

"There are no father and son on the Emperor's Road... Nianyang is still too young! Oh well, I'll just let him use this to temper himself more."

The tianyang treasure mirror sighed, knowing that its Disciple was born with an invincible heart, and it wasn't good to persuade him further.

Jiang Nianyang didn't care about the words of the spirit of tianyang treasure mirror; instead, he looked at Xie Wushang and Jiang Ruoxi with a face full of envy.

"I wonder what it would be like if I acknowledged my daddy?" Jiang Nianyang pressed his small lips together and thought to himself.

His heart felt sour.

"In that case, let's go together!" Xie Wushang looked toward Jiang Nianyang, extended his slender palm, and said gently.

The boy in front of him gave him a sense of familiarity.

"This is a good opportunity to ask about his background..." Xie Wushang thought to himself.

"If Nianyang really is my son, I must make him change his view of me."

"Scumbag? I really am not!"

Xie Wushang also very much wanted to know why the child in front of him called his daddy a scumbag.

"Mn!" Seeing Xie Wushang reach out his hand, Jiang Nianyang was stunned for a moment before also extending his small hand, letting him hold it.

Afterwards, flames rolled beneath his feet, carrying Xie Wushang and Jiang Ruoxi as they flew toward the Tianxing Sacred Mountain.

"Tianxing... truly has great fortune. His son actually gave him so many grandchildren?" Jiang Daoran stroked his beard and said.

He looked ahead with a gratified expression.

"Haha, they are all my descendants..." Suddenly, Jiang Daoran laughed freely and flew away from Emperor Stele Valley.

...

Yaoyang Heavenly Palace drill grounds.

Wang Linglong flew over and landed beside Wang Zhiyin, "Great-aunt, none of them took a Quasi-Emperor as a Revered Master, and that Jiang Nianyang has no Foundation whatsoever. He is simply a precious medicine delivered to our doorstep by the heavens... Big Brother Yaoyang can not only recover to his original state this time, but also has the chance to forge a Quasi-Emperor Foundation."

She had an excited expression.

"It is indeed a heaven-sent opportunity, a Divine Son without a Foundation... nothing more than something in the palm of our hand," Wang Zhiyin said.

Her gaze was cold and sinister.

"Great-aunt, when shall we make our move?" Wang Linglong said.

"Wait... wait until they leave the Jiang Clan," Wang Zhiyin said.

"What if they don't leave?" Wang Linglong said.

"Then we will create an opportunity to make them leave," Wang Zhiyin said.

"I know what to do." Wang Linglong nodded.

...

Xie Wushang arrived at the Tianxing Sacred Mountain together with Jiang Nianyang and Jiang Ruoxi, then gracefully landed on the drill grounds of the main hall.

"Hehe, this is wonderful! Starting today, I can live together with daddy." Jiang Ruoxi spun around the drill grounds with a jubilant expression. The little fellow appeared extremely excited, even happier than when her divine body was detected earlier.

"Is being with daddy really worth being this happy?" Jiang Nianyang muttered inwardly as he watched Jiang Ruoxi's joyful appearance.

Yet he couldn't help but secretly glance at Xie Wushang.

"What a pity, I don't even know who my daddy is." Jiang Nianyang sighed in his heart, his brows slightly furrowed with a melancholic expression.

"This little fellow seems to have something on his mind," Xie Wushang thought to himself as he saw the trace of yearning flash through Jiang Nianyang's eyes.

Afterwards, he looked at Jiang Nianyang and said, "Nianyang, there are many palaces and courtyards on the Tianxing Sacred Mountain. I live over there... That is my daddy's former residence... As for the other halls, you and Ruoxi can choose whichever you like." He pointed out several halls respectively.

"Hehe, I want to live in the same palace as daddy." Jiang Ruoxi pulled Xie Wushang's hand and smiled brilliantly.

"I'll choose the palace right next to you, Uncle!" Jiang Nianyang said.

"Alright!" Xie Wushang nodded and said, "It's still early. Uncle will first take you to familiarize yourself with the environment of our Dao field here."

"Mn!" Jiang Nianyang nodded.

Afterwards, Xie Wushang led Jiang Ruoxi and Jiang Nianyang to various parts of the sacred mountain.

For instance, the special Cultivation rooms, the medicine garden, the alchemy room, as well as the Spirit Beast grounds and spirit pools...

The area encompassed by the Tianxing Sacred Mountain covered a full six hundred miles.

Nearby, there were also many subsidiary floating mountains guarding it.

By dusk, after touring all the various places, Xie Wushang, Jiang Nianyang, and Jiang Ruoxi arrived at the palaces.

They sat upright within the Abyss-Facing Pavilion.

"Hehe, daddy, this is the Holy Spirit fruit wine I specially brought! Today, the two of us are gathered together, so let's celebrate with this holy wine." Jiang Ruoxi's small hand moved, and a jade bottle appeared in her palm. She opened it, and a rich aroma of wine immediately assailed their nostrils.

As she spoke, she tossed out three wine cups, which landed in front of Xie Wushang, Jiang Nianyang, and herself respectively, and filled them up.

"Holy Spirit fruit wine? Sister Ruoxi is truly generous, actually treating me to holy wine..." Jiang Nianyang was slightly stunned.

You must know.

Holy spirit wine refined from holy-grade spirit fruits was extremely rare even within Emperor Clans. His maternal grandfather often drank it alone in secret.

The kind that he wouldn't share with him at all.

Fortunately, Jiang Nianyang was clever and found his grandfather's wine cellar on his own, secretly drinking a dozen jars.

However, ever since then, his grandfather hid the holy wine on his person, leaving Jiang Nianyang craving it for a long time.

He hadn't expected that a stranger he had just met would treat him to holy wine.

"It seems there are still many good people outside. Revered Master and mother were worrying over nothing," Jiang Nianyang thought to himself.

He picked up the wine cup, took a whiff of the wine's fragrance, and wore an intoxicated expression.

"It's still that same taste..." Jiang Nianyang thought to himself.
