73: Chapter 73 Emperor Realm, Emperor Realm, finally restored to the Emperor Realm

"Descendant Jiang Daoran, contemporary Saint Lord of the Jiang Clan, leads his clansmen to pay respects to the Jiuyang Great Emperor!" Jiang Daoran bowed his head and shouted while kneeling.

"Later descendants pay respects to the Jiuyang Great Emperor!" Great Elder Jiang Yuyang and all the geniuses of the Jiang Clan shouted together.

The soundwaves resounded throughout the entire Secret Realm.

The true spirit of the Jiuyang Great Emperor nodded slightly.

Suddenly, he looked toward the spacetime passage ahead.

There, a figure hidden within black and white Qi stood proudly.

It was precisely Jiang Jiuyang.

Upon seeing Jiang Jiuyang, excitement appeared in the eyes of this true spirit incarnation.

He had been in deep sleep for tens of thousands of years, and his recent awakening was precisely because of a wisp of Divine Thought from Jiang Jiuyang.

Now seeing the main body, the true spirit hidden within the emperor monument was also excited in its heart.

At the same time, he also felt a bit of sorrow.

Because the aura displayed by the main body at this moment was too weak, merely at the First Calamity Emperor Realm.

You must know that back in the heyday of the Jiuyang Great Emperor, he was a Ninth Calamity Emperor, just a step away from the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

He was among the very top existences in the Cangyuan Realm.

Truly illuminating the Eight Desolations and looking down upon all heroes.

"My spiritual body, it is time for you to return as well." Inside the Jiuyang Secret Realm, Jiang Jiuyang spoke leisurely. With a movement of his Divine Thought, a Dao Law extended outward, connecting like an invisible thread to the true spirit ahead, causing the true spirit body to tremble slightly.

"Thirty thousand years have passed, it is indeed time to return." The true spirit body of the Jiuyang Great Emperor's eyes twitched slightly with a vicissitudinous expression. He stepped forward largely, entering the spacetime passage that had manifested before him, and instantly transformed into a wisp of Soul Law, flying into the Jiuyang Secret Realm.

Blending into the space between the Jiuyang Great Emperor's eyebrows, his aura began to steadily climb, truly stabilizing his Emperor Realm Foundation.

Outside, above the divine pool, the emperor's might vanished.

That spacetime passage subsequently disappeared.

"Old Ancestor..."

"Old Ancestor... Where did you go?" When the true spirit of the Jiuyang Great Emperor vanished, Jiang Daoran and the others were all full of tension.

"What is going on? Revered Master's true spirit suddenly disappeared?" The spirit of tianyang treasure mirror was also full of astonishment.

"Could it be related to Brother Ji? That shouldn't be! Revered Master's true spirit didn't even pay attention to me, how could Brother Ji receive special treatment?"

"Unless... It is Revered Master himself arriving in person!" The spirit of tianyang treasure mirror's heart stirred, and it immediately shook its head. "Impossible, how could it be Revered Master? If Revered Master's main body were here, why would he ignore me?" It was full of doubts, but had nowhere to go to resolve them.

"Could something have happened to the ancient ancestor's true spirit?"

The true spirit of the Jiuyang Great Emperor manifested and never appeared again, making Jiang Daoran and the others feel apprehensive.

Even though it was just a wisp of true spirit, if it exerted its full strength, it could unleash a strike from an Emperor, capable of protecting the Jiang Clan once.

If the true spirit disappeared, it would be like losing an Emperor-grade combat power.

The impact on the Jiang Clan could not be said to be small.

It was just that Jiang Daoran had no way to investigate, so he could only mutter in his heart and wait silently.

...

Inside the Jiuyang Secret Realm, upon the lotus platform, Xie Wushang witnessed with his own eyes his Revered Master blending a wisp of true spirit into the Sea of Consciousness between his eyebrows.

"Congratulations, Revered Master, on successfully refining the true spirit and consolidating your Emperor Realm Foundation." Xie Wushang stood up, cupped his hands, and offered his congratulations.

Now that Revered Master had successfully integrated the true spirit into his own body, Xie Wushang could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Although this true spirit was evolved from a wisp of Divine Sense of the Jiuyang Great Emperor, serving as the location of his will,

even a remnant thought could potentially usurp the host, carry out Possession upon Jiang Jiuyang, and transform into an Immortal Master.

Precisely because of this, before solidifying his Emperor Realm, Jiang Jiuyang had not dared to easily awaken this wisp of true spirit.

He was simply afraid that the true spirit would harbor secondary thoughts and no longer be himself.

Now seeing Revered Master successfully complete the Fusion of the true spirit, the heaviest stone in Xie Wushang's heart was finally able to be put down.

"This time, as your Revered Master, I have integrated the true spirit and still need to enter seclusion to consolidate it. You should take good care of yourself." Jiang Jiuyang looked toward Xie Wushang.

"Rest assured, Revered Master, I can handle everything." Xie Wushang said.

"Good!" Jiang Jiuyang nodded, then transformed into a wisp of flame, sinking into the disaster prison bead space of Xie Wushang to enter seclusion.

"Little fellow, work hard to Cultivate and help this Revered Master recover the Emperor Realm in the Ji Clan sooner." Ji Qianyue's jade hand brushed across Xie Wushang's cheek, and she then transformed into a streak of moonlight, sinking into the disaster prison bead space to begin seclusion and consolidate her cultivation.

Xie Wushang looked toward all directions.

"The true solar Qi here is dense; I should continue to consolidate my cultivation." He sat cross-legged and continued to Cultivate.

...

Half a month later.

"Now I have stepped into the half-step Saint Realm!" Xie Wushang's gaze flickered, and he then slowly stood up. "It is time to leave."

Afterward, he glanced at his daughter, Jiang Ruoxi, on the adjacent lotus platform.

"Ruoxi is still consolidating her cultivation. Very well, let her Cultivate here first." He did not choose to take Jiang Ruoxi away.

The Dao of Cultivation not only requires solidifying the Foundation, but also comprehending the Dao.

If one achieves comprehension in a single morning, one can attain the Dao and achieve Ascension.

This time, Jiang Ruoxi had clearly entered a marvelous realm, and a spacetime passage had manifested above her head.

Inside the passage, a sun hung high, with wisps of solar essence Qi pouring into the crown of her head, and solar flowers continuously blooming around her body.

She had clearly touched upon the Profound Truth of the Law of the Sun's Dao, beginning to guide the power of the Dao and integrate it into her own body.

If she condensed the Law of the Sun, she could step into the Ninth Realm in one fell swoop to prove the Dao and be titled a Saint, so Xie Wushang did not disturb her.

Xie Wushang had stepped into the Ninth Realm very early on.

Cultivating anew this time, he wanted to Cultivate the strongest Dao, so he was not in a rush to impact the Ninth Realm, but instead intended to continue solidifying.

To walk out a path belonging to himself.

Xie Wushang drifted down beside Jiang Ruoxi.

He formed hand seals, activating the emperor formation on the lotus platform, and a light barrier evolved to protect his daughter.

Thus, Xie Wushang's body moved, soaring straight up with a spacetime passage manifesting above his head, and he walked out of the Secret Realm.

"He has come out, Divine Son Wushang has come out."

Within the divine pool's lotus platform, the disciples of the Jiang Clan raised their heads and looked toward that spacetime passage.

Upon seeing Xie Wushang stepping out from within, each of them could not help shouting loudly.

Jiang Daoran and Great Elder Jiang Yuyang both raised their heads to look.

"Wushang has stepped into the half-step Saint Realm... Only half a step away from the Ninth Realm!" Jiang Daoran looked toward Xie Wushang.

Upon sensing the latter's aura, he laughed aloud. "Haha, I said it before, Wushang will not be inferior to anyone. My grandson should naturally suppress an entire era... Haha, as expected of my, Jiang Daoran's, grandson." He was full of excitement.

It had only been two months, yet he had leaped from the First Realm to the Eighth Realm. Such a speed, even when Cultivating anew, was unheard of.

You must know that re-cultivating was even harder.

Because damaged Dantian, collapsed grotto-heavens, and withered divine caches would injure the Foundation.

Even with Saint herbs to make up for it, it was difficult to restore things to the past.

"That's not right, there is a special aura on Wushang... Between his skin, there is a wisp of Quasi-Emperor aura." Great Elder Jiang Yuyang also looked over with an excited expression, and with a slight sensing, he discovered that there was a special aura on Xie Wushang.

"That is... The aura of the longyan gold stone!" Jiang Daoran's pupils constricted, and he quickly discovered the peculiarity within.

"How is that possible! This longyan gold stone is at the Quasi-Emperor grade... Even Great Saint-Grade powerhouses cannot refine it."

"Wushang actually refined it, and furthermore integrated it into his body, forging Quasi-Emperor-grade bronze muscles and iron bones?"

Jiang Daoran's heart leaped wildly, and he felt an inexplicable excitement within, secretly thinking, "This little fellow is far more mysterious than I imagined!"

He knew that his own grandson definitely possessed secrets unknown to outsiders, and the thickness of his Foundation was by no means comparable to ordinary people.
