41: The most favored daughters of heaven gathered at the Jiang family to participate in a rotating meeting and discussion conference.

And just as Jiang Shouzhuo brought the World Tree Sapling to the Ancestral Land,

preparing to Enter Seclusion and Breakthrough under the protection of the six Old Ancestors,

the outside world had already erupted due to the appearance of the six Great Emperor Old Ancestors of the Jiang Family,

along with the phrases, "The Spirit Ascension Pill is the betrothal gift!" and "Physique Leap, Ascend to Heaven in One Step!"

These two simple phrases

completely ignited ambition and desire.

In an instant, the situation became turbulent.

Countless streams of light flew out from the depths of the Ancestral Lands of the great Holy Lands, Divine Dynasties, and Immortal Families,

transforming into luxurious Divine Arks and ancient War Chariots, carrying the most elite and beautiful Heavens Proud Daughters of their respective clans, rushing toward the Jiang Family.

The scene was even more spectacular than the Myriad Races Assembly a hundred years ago!

And some clever forces brought various Supreme Treasures when bringing their people,

even if the Jiang Family did not favor their daughters,

perhaps they could be lucky enough to purchase a Spirit Ascension Pill?

...Myriad Races, Life Forbidden Zone, Myriad Dragon Nest.

Gigantic Dragon Bones lay across the ground,

each tens of thousands of feet long, emitting heart-palpitating pressure.

These were the remains left behind by Quasi-Emperor True Dragons who once dominated the world after their demise,

but now they served as the most eerie decoration of this Forbidden Ground.

In the deepest part of the Abyss,

a blurry shadow awakened from the Chaos.

Ancient Emperor Wanlong.

The Supreme Existence who once dominated an era had now Performed Self-Severance and slept here,

awaiting the opening of the Path to Immortality.

But at this moment, this Ancient Emperor, who had slept for countless years, opened his eyes.

"The heavenly dao golden ranking list?"

"The Jiang Family..."

A low, hoarse voice echoed in the Abyss, carrying an indescribable chill.

"A mere Rising Star dares to be so arrogant?"

"Laughable. What Innate Fertility Saint Body? It's just a trick! If it came down to a fight, this Emperor could crush him with one hand!"

The Ancient Emperor Wanlong sneered, his voice full of disdain.

Although he said this, the Ancient Emperor Wanlong knew clearly that the Jiang Family's rise in this era was no accident.

Seven Great Emperors!

This number made even him feel a trace of pressure.

One must know that the Nine Great Life Forbidden Zones combined, nominally only had nine Ancient Emperors.

Including those hidden in the dark, there were probably only twenty or thirty or so.

It seemed like a lot,

but the Jiang Family alone accounted for seven.

Even if six of them had sealed part of their Origin like the others,

they had not Performed Self-Severance,

plus there was Great Emperor Hengyu... the Current Great Emperor... Fear flashed in his eyes!

It was no exaggeration to say,

a Current Great Emperor at the Peak,

when undergoing Ultimate Sublimation,

could definitely take down several Ancient Emperors!

Calculating it,

the Jiang Family alone was comparable to half the Combat Power of the Nine Great Life Forbidden Zones!

"Issue the command."

The Ancient Emperor Wanlong slowly spoke, his voice ice-cold.

"Gather all Experts above the Quasi-Emperor Realm in the Myriad Dragon Nest. This Emperor wishes to personally discuss countermeasures."

"In addition, contact the other Forbidden Grounds and tell them that the Jiang Family's actions this time have touched upon our bottom line."

"If we allow them to continue developing, it won't be long before this Emperor Immortal Great World changes its surname to Jiang."

As his voice fell, Dark Figures emerged from various corners of the Abyss, respectfully taking their orders and departing.

The Ancient Emperor Wanlong closed his eyes again, but deep within those scarlet pupils, chilling Killing Intent flickered.

Jiang Family, since you dare to be so high-profile, don't blame this Emperor for being impolite... Burial Heaven Tomb, the end of the Yellow Springs Road.

This is the Forbidden Ground of The Living and the destination of The Dead.

Endless Graves stretch across the land, and in every Tomb,

an Expert who once astonished an era is buried.

In the deepest part of all the Tombs, a massive black Stone Coffin quietly floats in the Void Realm.

The Stone Coffin is covered in bizarre Runes, emitting suffocating Death Qi.

At this moment, the Coffin Lid of the Stone Coffin was slowly moving.

Crack—

Accompanied by a grating sound of friction, the Coffin Lid was pushed open, creating a gap.

A hand, withered like firewood, stretched out from the gap.

There was no flesh or blood on that hand, only a layer of shriveled skin tightly clinging to the bone, making it look like a Skeleton crawling out of a Tomb.

"The Jiang Family... interesting..."

A hoarse voice came from the Stone Coffin, carrying a scent of decay.

Emperor Zangtian, woke up.

"This Emperor has slept for so many years; I didn't expect the world to have so many interesting things after waking up."

Emperor Zangtian slowly sat up, revealing a face covered in wrinkles.

On that face, no Life Qi could be seen, only endless Dead Silence and coldness.

He raised his hand, and a Water Mirror immediately appeared in the Void Realm,

clearly reflecting everything happening at the Jiang Family.

"Innate Fertility Saint Body... Mass-Producing Saint Bodies... Hehe, quite a clever Junior."

Emperor Zangtian stared at Jiang Yuan's figure in the Water Mirror, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

"However, being too clever is not necessarily a good thing."

He stretched out his withered finger and lightly traced the Void Realm.

Buzz—

A black Spatial Rift appeared, and a figure walked out from the rift.

That was an old man wearing a black robe, with a pale face and empty eyes, looking like a Walking Corpse.

"Greetings to Emperor Zangtian."

The old man knelt on one knee, his voice utterly flat.

"Go, take this Emperor's message to the Ancient Emperor Wanlong."

Emperor Zangtian spoke indifferently.

"Tell him that this Emperor agrees with his Proposal."

"The Jiang Family's actions this time are indeed too ostentatious. If we allow them to develop, it will definitely not be a good thing for us Life Forbidden Zone."

"Tell him that this Emperor is willing to Join Forces with the Myriad Dragon Nest to teach the Jiang Family a lesson."

"As for the specific actions, await the Ancient Emperor Wanlong' message."

The old man respectfully nodded, and with a flash of his figure, vanished into the Spatial Rift.

Emperor Zangtian lay back down in the Stone Coffin and slowly closed his eyes.

"Oh, Jiang Family, Jiang Family, do you think having seven Great Emperors means you can rest easy?"

"Too naive."

"This world is far more complicated than you imagine."

...Where there are opponents, there are supporters.

Eastern Wasteland, Life Forbidden Zone, Heavenly Demon Palace.

As one of the Nine Great Life Forbidden Zones,

the strength of the Heavenly Demon Palace was actually weaker than the other Powers,

so they urgently needed fresh blood.

At this moment, inside a Palace constructed from massive Dragon Bones,

the atmosphere was extremely heated.

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, a terrifying Nine-Headed Lion,

was lecturing a group of voluptuous and enchanting Yao Race Princesses below, spitting everywhere.

"All of you, listen carefully to This Seat!"

"Going to the Jiang Family this time is an Opportunity that comes once in ten thousand years! Whoever can be favored by that Jiang Family Imperial Son will immediately be conferred the title of Sixteenth Palace Master!"

"Each and every one of you, bring out your ultimate skills! Whether it's Heavenly Fox Charm Technique or Joyful Union Secret Method, as long as you can capture Jiang Yuan, use whatever you need!"

"If anyone dares to mess up for This Seat, when you return, prepare to be thrown into the Yao Refining Pool!"

Below, the group of Yao Maidens heard this, their eyes gleaming green as they eagerly prepared.

Especially the Princess of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, whose eyes were seductive and full of confidence.

When it came to seducing men, their Nine-Tailed Fox Clan had never feared anyone!

...Human Race, Western Desert, Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

This ancient Temple standing in the golden desert,

which should have been a place of purity and solemnity, was now in utter Chaos.

A group of fat, dignified Old Monks,

were surrounding a Young Nun, who wore white monastic robes, possessed an ethereal aura, and was stunningly beautiful, earnestly trying to persuade her.

"Wonderful Sound, the Buddha is compassionate, saving all sentient beings."

"Now, the Jiang Family Imperial Son is the Chosen One. If you can form a Buddhist Affinity with him, it will not only be your personal fortune but also the Opportunity for our Buddhist Sect's great revival!"

"That's right, that's right. The Buddha says, 'If I don't enter Hell, who will?' For the sake of the Buddhist Sect's eternal foundation, what does sacrificing your small Physical Appearance matter?"

"Wonderful Sound, just go! Just consider it... Subduing Demons and Devils!"

The Young Nun called Wonderful Sound,

listening to the words of these Junior Martial Uncles and Senior Martial Uncles,

her pretty face flushed crimson with anger and embarrassment.

What do they mean by sacrificing her 'small Physical Appearance'?

What do they mean by 'Subduing Demons and Devils'?

You group of old bald donkeys, have you lost all shame just for one Saint Body spot?

But she looked at the Jiang Family's Invitation Letter in the Abbot's hand,

as well as his unquestionable gaze, and finally sighed helplessly, pressing her palms together.

"Amitabha... Disciple, I obey."

...Central Continent, Pill Alliance.

As one of the wealthiest forces in the Emperor Immortal Great World, the Pill Alliance's reaction was even more direct.

The Alliance Master directly ordered the selection of one hundred Female Alchemists of appropriate age within the Alliance,

choosing those with the most superior looks and highest Talent,

to form a Pill Fairy Envoy Group, led personally by the Vice Alliance Master, to head to the Jiang Family.

Their slogan was: "Whether or not they get married is irrelevant; the priority is getting familiar faces! As long as we can establish a connection with the Jiang Family, will we ever worry about having Medicinal Pills to sell?"

...For a time, the entire Emperor Immortal Great World, starting from the Thirty-Six Great Worlds,

down to the subordinate Middle Thousand Worlds, all Forces of repute began to move.

Saintesses, Divine Maidens, Imperial Daughters, Demonic Maidens, Yao Maidens, Buddhist Maidens... Heavens Proud Daughters, who usually remained hidden and were treasured by their respective forces,

were now flocking toward the Jiang Family in groups, as if rushing to a market.

As for the Minor Thousand Worlds?

Unfamiliar, unknown.

To enter this Grand Game,

one must at least be at the level of the Middle Thousand Worlds.
