148: Divine Sound's Alternative Path to Enlightenment

"Shenyin... understands."

She stood up slowly.

She adjusted her elegant palace attire.

Then, under Su Luli's shocked gaze, she knelt on one knee before Jiang Yuan and bowed deeply.

This time, it was not just a submission of the body and spirit, but a surrender of her Dao Heart.

"Liu Shenyin is willing to be the sword of my Husband, to slay all enemies."

Her voice was no longer cold or distant.

Instead, it carried a calmness and piety that came from completely letting go of everything.

No guidance was needed.

The Revered Master had finally figured it out.

Jiang Yuan looked at the stunning Quasi-Emperor kneeling before him, who had completely laid down all her defenses and pride, and finally a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He liked smart people.

He liked smart people who understood how to assess the situation even more.

"Very good."

He gently pressed the Incomplete Dao Fruit into the center of Liu Shenyin's brow.

"Boom!"

Majestic Emperor Dao Laws instantly surged into her Sea of Consciousness, merging with her Innate Zither Heart Physique.

Touching upon her original Sound Dao!

Liu Shenyin let out a muffled groan, and the Aura around her body began to skyrocket crazily.

Mysterious zither sound runes emerged from within her body.

Behind her, they intertwined into the Dharma Image of a supreme Empress holding an ancient zither, her face blurred.

The entire Sect Master lineage of the Heavenly Sound Sect.

All cultivated the Heavenly Sound Emperor Scripture of the Heavenly Sound Empress.

Immediately after, an authentic Aura, even carrying a trace of Emperor's Might, exploded from within her body, sweeping across the entire dragon head warship!

On the warship, Qin Mengyao, Hu Mei, and others had their expressions change drastically. They looked towards Liu Shenyin's residence with eyes full of shock.

"This is... Emperor's Might?!"

"Sect Master Liu... has she attained the Dao?!"

Meanwhile, on another immortal boat in the distant Void Realm, the Yaochi Empress Ye Lingxian, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened her eyes. Her gaze pierced through the endless Chaos and landed on that newly born Emperor's Might.

"This is... Alternative Dao Attainment... Such speed! That little fox is with the Quasi-Emperor of the Heavenly Sound Sect? What on earth did he give her?"

Could it be a large amount of purple qi?

In Ye Lingxian's eyes, for the first time, a look of genuine solemnity and... a hint of urgency appeared.

The amount capable of helping someone Attain the Dao...

I fear it is not little.

She subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

There is nothing to say.

This expedition to the Cangwu of Cangwu.

Even if it means sacrificing this Clone, I must satisfy that little fox!

Meanwhile, on the warships of allied forces like the Saint Demon Sect and the Great Yan Divine Dynasty, there was also an uproar.

Mo Qingcheng stood under the Demon Flame War Flag. Feeling that Emperor's Might, a trace of fanaticism and jealousy appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

She knew it, she had bet correctly!

The power of the Jiang Family far exceeded what the Cangwu imagined!

Even Alternative Dao Attainment to the Emperor Realm seemed not difficult for the Jiang Family.

"It is just a pity that I am still some distance away from the Quasi-Emperor Realm, otherwise I might have had a chance..."

Mo Qingcheng sighed.

She vaguely remembered.

Under the Emperors Son Jiang, there did not seem to be any Saints yet.

"Pass down the order, the entire army is to be on alert, ready to await the Emperors Son's orders at any time! In this battle, my Saint Demon Sect shall be the vanguard!"

...

Deep within the warship fleet, Second Ancestor Jiang Wuya sat cross-legged in an inconspicuous warship, his Emperor's Might flashing and disappearing.

He smoothed out the possible prying eyes caused by the phenomenon of Liu Shenyin's Dao Attainment, isolating the heavenly secrets.

Even with the First Ancestor's 【Heaven-Shading Ring】, he still performed his duties faithfully.

He knew that this must be the handiwork of his good grandson.

"Alternative Dao Attainment, huh... Yuaner's methods are truly becoming more and more extraordinary."

For a true Imperial Clan, an Emperor who has achieved Alternative Dao Attainment is nothing much.

Their combat power is Cangwus apart from those who have truly achieved Heaven-Defying Dao Attainment.

And they have almost lost the possibility of attaining the Great Emperor Realm via the heavenly heart imprint.

But there are benefits as well.

For example, barely being able to exchange a few moves with a Great Emperor.

And the process of attaining the Dao is fast.

Unlike ordinary Quasi-Emperors who, even if they obtain the heavenly heart imprint, must spend hundreds of years refining it to Attain the Dao.

But in any case, it at least occupies the title of Emperor.

Placed outside, it is enough to suppress an Immortal Dao lineage.

At this critical moment of the expedition, the sudden appearance of a Pseudo-Emperor combat force is a huge boost to the morale and strength of the entire army.

Just as the warship fleet was buzzing with discussion because of Liu Shenyin's Breakthrough, the Void Realm ahead rippled once more.

This time, two warship fleets with vastly different styles but equally imposing Auras were approaching.

One warship fleet consisted of ancient bronze war halls pulled by hundreds of ferocious starry sky beasts. Above the war halls, a large flag with the character "Xiao" fluttered in the wind.

On the flag surface, there seemed to be thousands of sword shadows floating, and the sharp Aura split the Chaos.

The other fleet was pulled by nine black Flood Dragons, dragging a magnificent white jade divine palace. Above the divine palace, the character "Gu" was written in a dragon-flying phoenix-dancing style, emitting a heavy and desolate Aura that suppressed the eternal ages.

The Xiao Family of the Northern Heaven Great World! The Gu Family of the Central Province!

They are ranked among the Ten Great Imperial Clans alongside the Jiang Family.

They came over as soon as they announced to the heavens that they were going on an expedition.

Now they are also here to test the intelligence.

"Junior Zhishui greets Great Emperor Wuya."

A woman dressed in white with a graceful figure stepped out; she was the current head of the Xiao Family, Xiao Zhishui.

She is also one of the only two female heads of families among the current Ten Great Imperial Clans.

Second Ancestor Jiang Wuya nodded calmly.

Although Jiang Yuan is the commander.

However, he is still the one coordinating all major and minor matters.

The commander position is just to build up Yuaner's credentials.

At this moment, a burly old man in a black robe with a domineering Aura also walked out of the other white jade divine palace. He was a Quasi-Emperor head of the Gu Family, Gu Tianxiong.

"Tianxiong pays respects to Second Ancestor."

Compared to the Xiao Family.

The relationship between the Gu Family and the Jiang Family is closer.

Because Jiang Yuan's mother, the current Empress, is from the Gu Family.

The three great Imperial Clans gathered here.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Second Ancestor Jiang Wuya, Xiao Zhishui and Gu Tianxiong's gazes fell unanimously on the dragon head warship at the very front.

"Senior Jiang, that Emperor's Might just now, could it be..."

Xiao Zhishui asked tentatively.

Second Ancestor Jiang Wuya stroked his beard and smiled: "Sect Master Liu Shenyin received help from my Yuaner, had a chance encounter, and luckily broke through, that is all."

Lucky... Breakthrough...

Xiao Zhishui and Gu Tianxiong's mouths twitched slightly.

Their evaluation of Jiang Yuan in their hearts was raised another level.

"I have heard that Your Highness the Emperors Son is peerless, even surpassing Great Emperor Hengyu in his youth. We came here not only to respond to the alliance treaty, but also to let our good-for-nothing girls see the Cangwu and get to know the outstanding talents of this generation."

Xiao Zhishui said with a smile.

Immediately after, behind her, a young girl dressed in green, holding a long sword, with a cold appearance, bowed respectfully to Second Ancestor Jiang Wuya.

Xiao Qingyun.

It seems she is a Divine Physique.

Gu Tianxiong also laughed: "My girl is the same, pestering me all day to come out for training. It is just the right opportunity to let her see what a real big scene is."

"Come to think of it, that girl is considered Yuaner's cousin, hahaha."

Second Ancestor Jiang Wuya was speechless upon hearing this.

They are really unscrupulous in trying to build connections.

However, he did not refuse.

The Second Ancestor saw a little head poking out from behind Gu Tianxiong; it was a young girl with a face full of innocence and curiosity.

"Since you are here, then go."

"We also happen to be going to congratulate Emperor Liu."

After receiving permission, the high-level officials of the two great Imperial Clans bowed respectfully, then each took their most outstanding Imperial Daughter, turned into streams of light, and headed straight for the dragon head warship.

They all knew in their hearts that this trip was called an expedition, but in reality, it was a high-stakes gamble concerning the future of their families.

And the biggest chip on the gambling table was the Jiang Family Imperial Son, Jiang Yuan.

Whoever could be on good terms with him would be able to seize the initiative in this Golden Great Era.
