95: Emperor Hengyu's scheme: even mortals can cultivate immortality!

"Immortal Realm?!"

Jiang Yuan's heart was greatly shaken.

Isn't that the legendary,

Final destination for all Cultivators, the paradise for those who seek longevity?

"The Immortal Realm was not shattered? It has always existed?"

"It exists, but the path to enter it is broken."

First Ancestor shook his head,

"Entering it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Your father, back then, for your sake, spared no effort and forcefully broke through to enter."

"For me?"

Jiang Yuan was even more puzzled.

"That's right."

First Ancestor's gaze became distant. He stood with his hands behind his back, as if recalling an extremely distant event.

"Cough cough, Big Brother, Yuaner was only born twenty years ago."

The Fourth Ancestor, who was beside him, ruined the atmosphere the moment he spoke.

He had accepted Jiang Yuan's half-Immortal Artifact,

And was now a genuine Jiang Yuan fan.

He would hit whoever he was told to, without hesitation!

First Ancestor glared at Fourth Ancestor in annoyance.

What was this called when he was lost in thought?

Oh right,

A bootlicker!

If it weren't for Yuaner's half-Immortal Artifact being related to Buddhism, would it be your turn?

"When Yuaner was born, he was found to have a Mortal Body. This is very un-Cultivation-like. Your father is a Current Era Great Emperor, and your mother also possesses a Divine Body. Under such circumstances, there is absolutely no possibility for their offspring to have a Mortal Body, yet you do."

"And in this Cultivation World, there is an iron rule: 'Mortals have no body, thus cannot Cultivate Immortality.' This means that once one has a Mortal Body, they will be unable to Cultivate for their entire life. Even if our Jiang Family possessed Heaven-Defying abilities to extend your lifespan, it would at most be ten thousand years."

"Your father exhausted all his means but could not break this world rule. He sought me, your Second Granduncle, and Third Granduncle, and even visited various forbidden zones, but the result was naturally no solution."

"Finally, he used his emperor blood to deduce a path, calculating that for you to Cultivate, the Heavenly Dao rules must be fundamentally reversed."

"In the records of our Emperor Immortal Great World, the Immortal Realm represents a higher level of world, just as Minor Thousand Worlds are followed by Middle Thousand Worlds, and Middle Thousand Worlds by Major Thousand Worlds. We believe that above the Emperor Immortal Great World, there might be another layer of Immortal Realm."

"Therefore, your father set his sights on the Immortal Realm."

"His plan was to enter the Immortal Realm, scheme and lay out a plan there... then transform into the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm... and finally,Reverse possession the Heavenly Dao of the Emperor Immortal Great World. As the Heavenly Dao, he would then change the rules of the Emperor Immortal Great World to pry open that shackles for you. Your mother accompanied him because she was worried about him."

Jiang Qidao's voice was filled with emotion and admiration.

A Great Emperor could destroy a Middle Thousand Worlds,

But their own existence relied on a Major Thousand Worlds.

Yet, even so... he was willing to, by himself,

Contend against the Heavenly Dao Law of a Major Thousand Worlds.

What kind of spirit and ambition was that!

Therefore,

They took extra care of Jiang Yuan after Hengyu left,

Even bestowing the title of Imperial Son upon him, who was then merely a Mortal.

It was not just because he was the son of the Current Era Great Emperor.

It was also out of admiration for Hengyu's courage!

Jiang Yuan listened, speechless for a long time.

He had always thought that his ability to Cultivate was entirely due to the System's help.

He never expected that, in places he didn't know,

His parents, for his sake, were undertaking such grand and perilous schemes.

A warm current slowly flowed through his heart.

"Then they are now..."

"They should be safe now."

First Ancestor smiled,

"With your Heaven-Defying Saint Body's Awakening, the shackles of 'Mortals cannot Cultivate' broke without a fight. Your father's plan no longer needs to proceed.

Some time ago, he issued an Imperial Decree, which must have been his sensing your change, and he is now on his way back from the Immortal Realm."

"That's good."

Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, then thought of something else and asked:

"Then, will it take a long time to return from the Immortal Realm? Will it be dangerous?"

"That's hard to say."

First Ancestor shook his head,

"There is chaotic spatial turbulence blocking the path between the Immortal Realm and the Emperor Immortal Great World. It could be as fast as three to five years, or as slow as several decades. With your father's strength, if he were in danger, then our entire Emperor Immortal Great World would probably be in great danger."

Jiang Yuan nodded, thinking to himself:

"It seems this Saint Body Origin will have to be put aside for a while longer."

But that's fine, when Mother returns, he can give her a surprise.

With all the doubts in his heart resolved, Jiang Yuan felt a wave of relief throughout his body.

He glanced at the World Tree in the depths of the ancestral land, which had already taken initial shape and was exuding vibrant vitality, and said to First Ancestor:

"Alright, I understand the situation. Granduncle, I'll trouble you to personally visit my Third Uncle."

"Don't worry."

First Ancestor took the great emperor dao fruit and the jade box containing the Nine Marvelous Undying Medicine that Jiang Yuan handed him.

"This is a major matter concerning the future of the Family, I understand."

After the matters were settled, Jiang Yuan bid farewell and left.

Watching his departing figure, the Old Ancestors were filled with emotion.

"To have a son like Jiang Yuan!"

Fourth Ancestor praised sincerely,

"With him, how can our Jiang Family not prosper for ten thousand generations!"

"Indeed." Third Ancestor also stroked his beard and smiled,

"To think back then, we lamented his inability to Cultivate. Now it seems we were truly short-sighted. This is not a Mortal; this is clearly an Immortal Reincarnation, here to lead our Jiang Family to rise!"

First Ancestor Jiang Qidao looked at Jiang Yuan's receding figure, his eyes full of satisfaction.

It wasn't until he saw that the others had finished chatting,

That he turned around and slowly said.

"Gentlemen, I have something to say that I must speak with you all about."

"Big Brother, just say it, why intentionally use such flowery language? You're over a million years old, not some young lad of one or two tens of thousands of years..."

Before Fourth Ancestor could finish his sentence, he was suppressed by First Ancestor with a single hand.

What quasi-Immortal Artifact? There was no chance to use it at all.

This scoundrel, I've tolerated you for too long.

"Cough cough, I believe that since even Yuaner is willing to make such a sacrifice, giving the great emperor dao fruit to Jiang Shouzhuo, why can't we, as Great Emperors who have enjoyed the Jiang Family's offerings for millions of years, sacrifice something for the Jiang Family and for Yuaner's efforts?"

"Uh... Big Brother, what do you mean?"

First Ancestor's gaze seemed to penetrate the jade box, looking at the Nine Marvelous Undying Medicine inside, which was vivid and lifelike, like a living creature.

He made his decision.

"I plan to use the vitality of the Nine Marvelous Undying Medicine to help the World Tree flourish and accelerate Jiang Shouzhuo's time to prove the Dao. As for this great emperor dao fruit, it will be kept for Hengyu."

"What do you all think?"

The remaining four exchanged glances and all nodded.

"Good."

As for the Sixth Brother,

Those who were not present had no right to express an opinion... Jiang Yuan, on the other side, did not know that the Old Ancestors had made this decision behind his back.

When he returned to the Emperors Son Palace,

It was already nearing dusk.

He did not go to see any of his Dao Companions first,

But instead went to Bai Qingxue's Cloud-Dwelling Immortal Terrace.

"Husband, you're back."

"Mm, how's your Cultivation going?"

"Thanks to Husband, my Law has reached Perfection."

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled.

If she hadn't come to the Imperial Family,

She would never have dreamed of Cultivating so quickly.

With vast resources,

Breaking through one realm in three months was no exaggeration!

"Is that so? Then this husband will come and check."

Bai Qingxue's small face flushed slightly.

She thought Jiang Yuan would immediately... as soon as he returned, although she didn't mind.

However, she was stunned the next moment.

Bai Qingxue noticed that Jiang Yuan merely transferred a strange spiritual energy into her body.

She only felt a warm current enveloping her,

Making her feel indescribably comfortable all over.

"Husband?"

"Cough cough, it's nothing."

Jiang Yuan awkwardly withdrew his hand.

He had originally intended to use Primordial Purple Qi to help her Breakthrough,

Just like when he helped Qin Wanwan.

However, he discovered that the Primordial Purple Qi he had accumulated was too little,

Which was also related to the significant consumption from his Cultivation these past few days.

This led to insufficient Primordial Purple Qi, and the Breakthrough was unsuccessful.

"Fortunately, I didn't boast, or I would have been embarrassed."

Thinking this, Jiang Yuan took Bai Qingxue's hand and walked to the outer hall.

"Qingxue, there's something I want to discuss with you."

"Husband, please speak freely."

Jiang Yuan looked into her gentle, watery eyes and slowly said:

"I want you... to also become a Saint Body."
