40: May the Jiang family have another emperor!

As soon as Jiang Yuan said this, the Old Ancestors were stunned.

"Yuaner, are you sure?"

The First Ancestor's voice carried a hint of tremor.

This is a World Tree Sapling!

In a certain sense,

It is equivalent to a Great Emperor!

"I'm sure."

Jiang Yuan nodded, his expression serious.

"It's useless for me to keep it now; wouldn't it be better for the Family to use it?"

Although the World Tree Sapling is Heaven-Defying,

it is completely useless to his current self.

Until now, his Cultivation Base advancement relied entirely on the System's Empowerment.

He only had the name of the Innate Fertility Saint Body,

but in reality, he couldn't use it to Cultivate.

Thus, the World Tree Sapling was only good for viewing purposes for him.

It was better to hand it over to the Family, allowing the Family to gain another Great Emperor. The stronger the Family, the safer he would be.

He knew without even thinking,

that at this moment, a crowd of people outside must be watching him.

The First Ancestor looked deeply at Jiang Yuan, his eyes filled with admiration.

This child truly possesses great vision!

If it were any ordinary person who obtained such a Heaven-Defying Divine Item, they would probably hide it away, wishing to enjoy it alone.

Yet, Jiang Yuan could take it out without hesitation and donate it to the Family.

This breadth of mind, this consideration for the Family, truly makes him my Jiang Family's Qilin Child!

"Good! Good! Good!"

The First Ancestor said "good" three times in a row, his beard trembling with excitement.

"Yuaner, all the Old Ancestors have noted this kind intention of yours! Don't worry, the Family will absolutely not mistreat you!"

"Then, First Ancestor Grandpa, who would be best suited to use this World Tree Sapling?" Jiang Yuan asked.

This was the focus of his concern.

He didn't take out the World Tree Sapling just for anyone to use.

"This..." The First Ancestor began to ponder.

The other Old Ancestors also voiced their opinions.

"This old man thinks it's better to give it to Jiang Zhan. That lad has been stuck at the Quasi-Emperor Peak for tens of thousands of years, and he himself is a Saint Grade Alchemy Great Grandmaster. If he can Break through to Great Emperor, he might have hope of refining Emperor Grade Medicinal Pills, allowing our Jiang Family's strength to rise another level."

The Third Ancestor suggested.

"Call Jiang Zhan over to take a look."

As the words fell, the Great Emperor Imprint in the Void Realm trembled.

Jiang Zhan, who had been anxiously waiting outside, immediately reacted, soaring into the sky and flashing inside.

"Little Zhan."

"Greetings to all Old Ancestors." Jiang Zhan bowed to the group before looking at Jiang Yuan, a look of relief appearing on his face.

It's good that he's alright.

Although he knew this was the core of the Jiang Family,

the sudden Emperors Might still made him a little flustered.

"Let me explain,"

the Third Ancestor said slowly,

"Yuaner managed to get a World Tree Sapling. See if you want to use it to seize this opportunity to Break through to Great Emperor."

Jiang Zhan was startled.

What is going on?

I only just arrived a minute ago!

Please let me process this.

After a while, Jiang Zhan understood the situation, and the look in his eyes towards Jiang Yuan was filled with indescribable emotion.

It wasn't for nothing that he had doted on him;

when such a great opportunity arose, he thought of him first.

However... Jiang Zhan pondered for a moment, but ultimately resisted the immense temptation of becoming a Great Emperor and shook his head:

"Yuaner, this World Tree Sapling is too precious, and I am not suitable to become a Great Emperor at this time."

"Why?"

"As the Jiang Family Head, I bear the heavy responsibility of the Family and cannot easily enter Secluded Cultivation. If I choose to refine the World Tree Sapling, I must inevitably disappear for a period, which would negate my role in hiding in the shadows."

Jiang Yuan and the Old Ancestors fell silent.

Indeed,

Jiang Zhan is the Jiang Family Head, too conspicuous,

which is disadvantageous for him becoming the Jiang Family's hidden Trump Card.

"Since Big Uncle cannot use it, then give it to Third Uncle."

Jiang Yuan also felt that what Jiang Zhan said made sense, so he shifted his gaze to the Third Elder Jiang Shouzhuo.

"Shouzhuo?"

"That lad's Qiankun Battle Body is quite suitable for fighting. Oh, right, Yuaner, if you get the chance, also get a Spirit Ascension Pill for Shouzhuo, so he can also evolve into a Saint Body. This way, even if he Achieves Emperor status using the sapling, it can compensate for some deficiencies in his Fighting Strength."

"Alright."

The First Ancestor lifted his Void Hand and instantly brought Jiang Shouzhuo over.

Then, Jiang Yuan quickly explained the reason.

Jiang Shouzhuo was stunned and pointed to himself:

"Me? Yuaner, you're not joking, are you?"

"Third Uncle, you have always been loyal to the Jiang Family and treated me very well. If you can Break through to Great Emperor, you can serve perfectly as a Great Emperor hidden in the shadows of our Jiang Family, deterring villains!"

Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"Yuaner, you..."

Jiang Shouzhuo was too excited to speak.

He never dreamed that such a heaven-sent Fortune would fall upon him!

Who wouldn't want to achieve Great Emperor status?

But could it be done?

Legend says there are only seventy-two great emperor fruit positions in total,

and the Emperor Immortal Great World has existed for so long,

no one knows how many are left.

Even if using the World Tree Sapling results in a shortcut Outer Dao Position,

it is still a Great Emperor nonetheless,

fundamentally incomparable to a Quasi-Emperor!

"Old Ancestors, you all..."

"The World Tree Sapling was obtained by Yuaner. Who he wants to give it to, we old fellows naturally have no objection."

Jiang Shouzhuo trembled with excitement, and he suddenly bowed deeply.

"Thank you, First Ancestor! Thank you, Old Ancestors! Thank you, Yuaner!"

Initially, he supported Jiang Yuan because of Hengyu.

In the early years, he had saved him more than once.

By association,

even though Jiang Yuan was a Mortal after birth,

he was willing to assist him in becoming the Emperor's Son.

But he never expected the reward for this kindness to come so quickly!

"Rise, Old Third."

The First Ancestor gave a gentle, immaterial lift,

"Remember, this matter is classified as the Family's highest secret. Before you completely Break through to Great Emperor, you must not leak even a fraction of it to the outside world!"

"Yes, Old Ancestor, rest assured. I, Jiang Shouzhuo, swear by my Dao Heart that I will not leak a single fraction!"

Jiang Shouzhuo said solemnly.

He knew that accepting the World Tree Sapling,

meant he had to hide from the public eye into the shadows,

becoming a hidden Ace Card of the Jiang Family,

a hidden Killer Move.

This period might be long, or it might be short.

But Jiang Shouzhuo had a premonition,

that as long as Yuaner was around,

perhaps the Jiang Family would soon be able to unify the Emperor Immortal Great World!
