42: All the immortals came to pay homage.

Outside the Jiang Family territory, the boundless Void Realm, which was usually cold and aloof, had now become even livelier than the most bustling marketplace in the mortal world.

Magnificent Divine Arks and ancient chariots of various designs, each radiating terrifying auras, were parked densely in the Void Realm like crucian carp crossing a river, packing the area so tightly that not even water could pass through.

Every Divine Ark flew a prominent banner.

"Look! That is the Nine-Dragon Agarwood Carriage of the Great Yan Divine Dynasty! I heard this is the personal carriage of the Divine Lord of Great Evolution when he travels; to think they actually sent it to pick up the princess today!"

"Over there, that is the Seven-Colored Lotus Platform of the Yaochi Holy Land! My god, the Yaochi Holy Land has really gone all out this time; they even brought out their sect-protecting Ultimate Imperial Weapon!"

"And that Ice Ark from the Northern Plains Wang Family; it is said to be forged from million-year-old black ice and contains its own small world!"

"The people from the Demonic Path have arrived too! That is the Ten Thousand Demon Banner of the Saint Demon Sect! I heard their Saintess is born with an Innate Charming Bone and is most skilled at harvesting Yang to nourish Yin; the Jiang Family Imperial Son is in for a treat!"

"Look quickly! The monks from the Western Desert Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple have also arrived! Damn, they didn't bring that Buddhist Maiden Wonderful Sound, who is rumored to possess the Buddha Heart Glazed Body, did they? She is ranked 51st on the prodigy physique ranking, the number one person beneath a Saint Body! She is a rare talent that the Buddhist sect only sees once in ten thousand years; are they really willing to let her return to secular life?"

"Amitabha, can the affairs of the Buddhist sect be called returning to secular life? That is called forging good karma and converting those with affinity!"

In the Void Realm, countless Loose Cultivators who had rushed over early to watch the spectacle, along with spies from second or third-rate factions, hid in the distance, staring at this scene—which could be called an eternal wonder—with dropped jaws and heated discussions.

Holy Lands, Divine Dynasties, Immortal Families, Primordial Royal Clans, Demonic Path titans, high monks of the Buddhist sect... almost every top faction in the entire Emperor Immortal Great World that had a name for itself had come!

Saintesses, Goddesses, Imperial Daughters, Demonesses, Enchantresses, Buddhist Maidens... some were as cold and aloof as immortals, some were charming and moving, some were heroic and spirited, some were petite and cute... it was truly a dazzling array of flowers that blurred one's vision.

At this moment, these Heavens Proud Daughters all gathered here, and their goal was only one—the Jiang Family!

More accurately, it was the one from the Jiang Family, the Imperial Son who had just topped the heaven and earth golden ranking and possessed the inconceivable "Innate Fertility Saint Body"—Jiang Yuan!

At this moment, outside the main gates of the Jiang Family, it was already a sea of people. The Jiang Family Head, Jiang Zhan, personally led a group of core clan Elders and stood at the entrance to welcome the guests.

He wore a standard yet dignified smile on his Face, looking at the magnificent carriages before him and the terrifyingly powerful figures stepping down from them, his heart filled with many emotions.

He knew that Yuaner's plan had succeeded. No, it should be said that it had far exceeded all of their expectations.

They had originally thought that releasing the news of using the Spirit Ascension Pill as a betrothal gift would attract the covetousness and probing of countless factions, and might even lead to a bloody storm.

But who could have imagined that the premature appearance of the heaven and earth golden ranking, as well as the First Ancestor's earth-shattering arrival of the Seven Emperors, would directly lower the difficulty of this game from Hell mode to a beginner's tutorial.

Now, it was no longer their Jiang Family begging others for a marriage alliance. Instead, every faction in the entire Emperor Immortal Great World was crying and shouting, begging to send their own daughters to their doorstep!

"Hahaha, Jiang Family Head, I trust you have been well!"

A hearty laugh rang out. The Imperial Uncle Yan of the Great Yan Divine Dynasty, a long-renowned Quasi-Emperor powerhouse, stepped down from the Nine-Dragon Agarwood Carriage, bringing with him a young girl dressed in magnificent palace attire, possessing stunning beauty and a noble temperament.

"So it is Imperial Uncle Yan, forgive me for not welcoming you from afar, forgive me."

Jiang Zhan smiled and cupped his hands, "This must be the famous Princess Ji Yue, right? Truly a peerless beauty, a dragon and phoenix among people."

Princess Ji Yue bowed slightly, performing a salute, her voice as crisp as an oriole's, "Ji Yue greets Jiang Family Head, greets all Seniors."

Her gaze, however, swept unobtrusively over the Jiang Family gates, as if searching for something.

"Hahaha, Your Highness, no need for such formalities! Quickly, please come inside!"

The Second Elder, Jiang Shouchen, greeted them enthusiastically. His eyes darted around Princess Ji Yue, and he nodded incessantly in his heart.

Not bad, not bad. This princess of the Great Yan Divine Dynasty, although her rating is only 92, has the advantage of a noble Bloodline, and she looks petite and exquisite; she should be very much to my Yuaner's taste!

Just then, on the other side, the Seven-Colored Lotus Platform of the Yaochi Holy Land also slowly descended. The Yaochi Holy Master personally led the Saintess Qin Mengyao, along with a group of Yaochi Elders, as they stepped down.

"The arrival of the Yaochi Holy Master is an honor; please forgive me for not greeting you from afar."

The smile on Jiang Zhan's Face remained unchanged, but his tone was a few degrees cooler than when he had spoken to the Great Yan Divine Dynasty just moments before.

The Yaochi Holy Master's heart tightened, but she dared not show the slightest bit of it on her Face. Instead, she squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Jiang Family Head is too polite; it is we who came uninvited and are disturbing you."

She was now regretting it so much that her intestines were turning green. If she had known today would come, why had she acted the way she did back then! If they hadn't refused when the Jiang Family came to propose marriage, why would they be in such a passive position now?

She glanced at Qin Mengyao beside her, who still maintained a cold and aloof appearance, and sighed in her heart.

"Meng Yao, why don't you greet the Jiang Family Head and the Seniors?"

Qin Mengyao stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Qin Mengyao greets Jiang Family Head, greets all Seniors."

Her voice remained cold, but in those clear eyes, there was a trace of imperceptible complexity. She was also looking, searching. Searching for that man who, in a way she could not imagine, had played the entire Emperor Immortal Great World in the palm of his hand. Jiang Yuan... what kind of person are you, really?

Jiang Zhan looked at the group from the Yaochi Holy Land and curled his lip, feeling annoyed. You know regret now? Where were you before? Did you really think our Jiang Family Imperial Son was some unwanted item that you could pick and choose, or reject as you pleased? If it weren't for the fact that your Saintess has a rating as high as 96, I wouldn't even bother letting you through the door!

However, despite his inner complaints, he still had to maintain appearances.

"Hehe, Yaochi Holy Master and Saintess, you have come a long way; thank you for your trouble. Quickly, please come inside; we have already prepared the finest immortal tea for you all."

After dismissing the people from the Yaochi Holy Land, one after another, representatives of top factions—the Northern Plains Wang Family, the Heavenly Demon Palace, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, the Saint Demon Sect...—took turns appearing, bringing with them the most dazzling Heavens Proud Daughters of their respective clans.

Outside the Jiang Family gates, it had practically become an unprecedented beauty pageant. Saintesses, Goddesses, Imperial Daughters, Demonesses, Enchantresses... all sorts of beauties with different figures and charms, leaving the Cultivators watching from afar dazzled and drooling.

"My god, to be able to see so many Heavens Proud Daughters at once in this lifetime, it's worth dying for!"

"Who do you think the Jiang Family Imperial Son will choose?"

"Only children make choices; if I were the Jiang Family Imperial Son, I would want them all!"

"Give me a break; with your kidneys, you'd struggle with even one!"

Amidst the discussions, another incomparably huge golden Divine Ark sailed from the Void Realm and stopped outside the Jiang Family gates. On the Divine Ark, banners fluttered, and an ancient character for "Phoenix" snapped in the wind. The people from the Primordial Divine Mountain, the Phoenix Clan, had also arrived.
