38: The Jiang family has produced seven emperors in this era.
When the last line on the heaven and earth golden ranking, those seven earth-shattering characters,
clearly reflected into the eyes of every living being in the Emperor Immortal Great World, the entire world fell into an unprecedented, strange silence.
Innate Fertility Saint Body?
What the devil is this thing?
Countless Cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level or location, widened their eyes at this moment, their faces filled with the same confusion and bewilderment.
Procreation?
A Saint Physique that handles childbirth?
Following the brief dead silence was an overwhelming wave of clamor and discussion.
"Did I read that right? Innate Fertility Saint Body? That name... why does it sound so improper?"
"This must be a mistake! The heavenly dao golden ranking list messed up! How could a Physique no one has ever heard of rank first? And even surpass the Wang Family's Imperial Daughter who possesses the bearing of a great emperor?"
"Exactly! Procreation? What use is this Physique? Can he rely on giving birth to children to smash the opponent during a fight?"
"Tell me, is there a possibility that this Jiang Yuan... is actually a woman?"
"Pfft! That's quite a thought! But he is the Jiang Family Imperial Son; he's a man!"
In an instant, the entire Emperor Immortal Great World, from the tea houses and restaurants in Mortal towns,
to the Deliberation Halls of the major Sects, everyone was discussing this unbelievable Innate Fertility Saint Body.
Everyone felt that this was utterly absurd.
A Physique that sounded completely lacking in combat power,
could actually top the prodigy list —this was simply an insult to the authority of the list.
However, those true magnates standing at the pinnacle of the world,
sensed an unusual flavor emanating from this seemingly absurd name.
Inside the Divine Hall of the Great Yan Divine Dynasty.
The Divine Lord of Great Evolution stared intently at the words "Innate Fertility Saint Body" in the Water Mirror, his brows tightly furrowed, his eyes filled with shock and uncertainty.
"Procreation... Saint Physique..."
He repeatedly chewed on these words,
as a series of recent abnormal actions by the Jiang Family flashed wildly through his mind.
From marrying the White Tiger Divine Maiden, to taking the mother-daughter duo from the Lower Realm as concubines,
and then, in front of the entire world, forcibly upgrading the Dao Bodys of that mother-daughter pair to the Creation Green Lotus Saint Body, which ranked fourth!
All of this exuded an indescribable strangeness.
And now, the heaven and earth golden ranking presented an answer that seemed absurd,
yet appeared capable of connecting all the clues.
"Procreation... Physique evolution... could it be..."
A thought that made his own scalp tingle began to grow wildly in his heart.
Could it be that the reason the Jiang Family was able to continuously manufacture Saint Physiques,
stemmed from combining with Jiang Yuan and bearing him descendants?!
This speculation was too bold, too subversive!
But other than this explanation, he could not think of any other rational reason!
If this were true... the Divine Lord of Great Evolution felt a chill rush straight from the soles of his feet to his head.
He suddenly turned his head, looked at a trembling maid beside him, and sternly shouted: "Where is the Princess? Immediately have Princess Ji Yue come to see me!"
...Yaochi Holy Land.
The Holy Revered Master and the Elders were likewise plunged into immense shock and contemplation.
"Innate Fertility Saint Body... so that's it, so that's how it is!"
The Yaochi Holy Master slumped onto the Lotus Platform, muttering to herself, her face filled with endless regret.
She understood everything.
The Jiang Family hadn't lost their minds; they had known Jiang Yuan's value from the very beginning!
That so-called Mortal Imperial Son,
was not a piece of trash at all; he was the most crucial strategic weapon of the entire Jiang Family, and even the entire era!
Yet, their Yaochi Holy Land, due to temporary arrogance and prejudice, had personally pushed away this heaven-sent Opportunity!
"Holy Revered Master..." an Elder said tremulously, "Did... did we make a mistake?"
"More than just a mistake!"
"A few years ago, the Jiang Family sent someone here to vaguely express intentions of forming a marriage alliance, but at the time, I thought
they were proposing marriage for that Mortal Imperial Son, so I politely declined... Thinking back now, that Jiang Yuan is likely the key to everything!"
When she thought about having accepted the Jiang Family's marriage alliance back then,
then the one who would now possess the Creation Green Lotus Saint Body,
would very likely be their Yaochi Saintess, Qin Mengyao—her heart was bleeding!
That was the Supreme Sacred Body ranked fourth on the list!
Just like that... they missed it?
"Revered Master."
Just then, Qin Mengyao, who had remained silent, finally spoke.
She slowly stood up. No emotion could be discerned on her stunning face,
but her clear eyes shone with an unprecedented light of determination.
"It is too late to talk about this now."
Her voice was calm.
"What we must do now is not regret, but figure out how to secure a place for Yaochi in this upcoming feast of gluttony!"
...Northern Plains, Wang Family.
At the peak of a snowy mountain, Wang Tengxue looked at the list,
at the name suppressing her own, and yet her face showed no resentment or anger.
Instead, she revealed a smile full of interest.
"Innate Fertility Saint Body... so this is your Dao?"
She had never heard of such a Saint Physique,
and because she hadn't heard of it,
she was curious.
The person capable of pioneering such a Saint Physique—
losing to such an existence, she felt no injustice.
In fact, she felt a trace of excitement.
A person's strength is not solely dependent on their own combat power,
but also on what they can bring to their entire clan and the entire world.
Jiang Yuan's Dao is creation and proliferation.
This is a higher-level Dao, one that transcends individual martial might!
"Jiang Yuan... you make me more and more interested."
Just as the entire Emperor Immortal Great World was sinking into wild speculation because of Jiang Yuan's Physique,
deep within the Jiang Family Ancestral Land, an ancient, boundless, terrifying will, seemingly from ten thousand ages ago, slowly awakened.
The vastness of that will
instantly enveloped the entire Emperor Immortal Great World.
A majestic yet indifferent voice echoed throughout the boundless Void Realm.
"The Golden Great Era has arrived. Ten thousand Daos contend, and the imperial path shall open."
"Jiang Yuan, the Qilin Child of our clan, bears the Mandate of Heaven and shall be the Lord of this Great Era."
"Starting today, the Jiang Family shall share this eternal Opportunity with the world!"
Boom!
This voice was like a Heavenly Dao Decree; every word contained unquestionable Emperors Might!
Immediately afterward, within the territory of the Jiang Family, one, two, three... a total of six equally terrifying Emperors Mights shot into the sky,
transforming into six pillars of light supporting the heaven and propping up the earth,
standing tall between heaven and earth!
The entire Emperor Immortal Great World was completely silenced at this moment.
Including Hengyu the Great Emperor of this era.
Seven... seven Great Emperors?!
The Jiang Family actually had seven Great Emperors existing simultaneously?!
At this moment, all those who still harbored suspicion and covetousness toward Jiang Yuan and the Jiang Family were left only with endless coldness and fear in their hearts!
