286: An agreement was reached with the Zhu family of the divine realm.

Jiang Ye felt this powerful and different energy for the first time and was completely stunned. "Linglong, is this an illusion you've cast on me?"

"It's not an illusion. My original identity is that of a fox demon, and now my Yao Race Bloodline is about to be awakened."

"Uh... you... didn't know before?"

Wu Linglong spoke in her usual calm tone, "I didn't know. I didn't want to be a demon either, but I can't change this. I've just released my demon power, and my parents in the Divine Realm's Demon Domain will soon come to take me away. I thought about it for a long time and felt it was best to be honest with you. I don't expect you to accept my identity as a member of the Yao Race immediately, but I will wait for you in the Demon Domain. I'll wait for you to tell me your answer."

"When are you leaving?"

"I'll say a proper goodbye to your Family, and then I'll leave to return to the Divine Realm's Demon Domain."

"Are the people in the Demon Domain strong?"

"Very strong! There are many great demons at the Demon Emperor level. I heard that my father in the Demon Domain is a powerful expert at the Demon Emperor level."

Jiang Ye thought for a moment. "A Demon Emperor is equivalent to the Human Race's God Emperor level, right?"

"Yes! That's correct."

"Then the next time I see you might be a long, long time from now. Perhaps... I might not even live to see that day."

Wu Linglong's heart jolted. She was terrified that he was about to crush her hope. "Why? Do you not want to see me again?"

Jiang Ye walked closer and hugged her. After a while, he said, "I'm sorry, I have something very important I didn't tell you. I am the child of misfortune! I have less than twenty years left. If I want to continue living, I must completely defeat the eight great God Emperors of the Human Race within this remaining time, seize that heavenly mandate sword, and sever the Aura of Misfortune from my body. If I fail, my Family will be buried with me, and that... includes you!"

Wu Linglong said firmly, "I'm not afraid of death! I only care if you still want me."

"I do! You are my wife, and I love you!"

"I believe in you! Before that day comes, you will surely become the number one person in the Divine Realm, just like you are in the Divine Profound Continent now. I'll be waiting for you to marry me with great fanfare."

"Alright, I promise you! I will become the number one person in the Divine Realm as soon as possible and completely sever this Aura of Misfortune from myself!"

Ten days later.

Wu Linglong completely released the Seal on her Bloodline Awakening and was teleported back to the Divine Realm's Demon Domain along with Luo Qiuli.

Jiang Ye had mostly finished arranging things at home. Now, he was just waiting for that group of people to exit seclusion and begin their journey to the Divine Realm.

At this time, the Divine Fire Sect once again sent an urgent request for help. Three people from another Family in the Divine Realm—the Zhu Family—had arrived through the Divine Fire Sect's Magic Array. They wanted to liberate the members of the Xiao Family who were tied to iron pillars and being roasted.

Jiang Ye instantly appeared before the Divine Fire Sect's gate. Looking at the three of them, he asked, "Are you the people from the Divine Realm who have been oppressing my Divine Fire Sect?"

The Zhu Family members were somewhat shocked when they felt Jiang Ye's restrained Aura. To be able to suppress the Xiao Family's Fifth Elder here, he was indeed not simple!

A young man said, "I am the Second Young Master of the Zhu Family, Zhu Changyuan. Your Excellency, to be able to Cultivate to this point in a Realm like this shows how Heaven-Defying your talent is."

"What are you trying to say?"

Zhu Changyuan said, "Capturing people from the Divine Profound Continent to be sent to the Divine Mine Site and oppressing lower Realms was not the original intention of my Zhu Family. It's just that in the face of strength, my Zhu Family had no choice but to submit. As you can see, compared to the Xiao Family, my Zhu Family used lack of ability as an excuse to only set up one Magic Array here. The resources we take from here every year are not even a quarter of what the Xiao Family takes."

Jiang Ye asked, "What power is pressing down on you, and what Realm has their strongest reached?"

"A power in the Outer Divine Domain called the Tianyun Sect. Their Sect's strongest is an Old Ancestor who has reached the Seventh Stage Spirit Master Realm. My Zhu Family's strongest is my grandfather, but he is only at the Fifth Stage Divine Spirit Realm. We are simply unable to resist."

At this moment, the Xiao Family's Fifth Elder, who was enduring the pain of the burning fire, shouted, "Zhu Family! Why haven't you taken us down yet? Otherwise, we will report you to the Tianyun Sect's Elders for slacking off, and your Zhu Family will face severe consequences!"

Zhu Changyuan ignored the Xiao Family members. He could have rescued them long ago, but he wanted to see for himself if the Jiang Ye that Huo Rong spoke of was truly that strong. When he saw Jiang Ye and felt that Aura on him, it gave him an extremely strong sense of pressure. Even the Tianyun Sect's Grand Elder, who often came to collect Spirit Stones and was in the Spirit Master Realm, had never given him such great pressure. Thus, he had a new plan.

"Brother Jiang Ye, I wonder what your plans are next. My Zhu Family is willing to lend you a helping hand. I hope you can bring freedom to the Divine Profound Continent and allow my Zhu Family to break free from the shackles of the Tianyun Sect."

Xiao Fourth shouted, "Zhu Changyuan! You're crazy! To actually seek cooperation with an ant from a lower Realm... if the Tianyun Sect finds out, they will surely destroy your Zhu Family!"

Jiang Ye said, "After the people we've selected from the Divine Profound Continent exit seclusion, we will first go to slaughter the Xiao Family. Originally, the next step was to destroy your Zhu Family as well, but now there seems to be something more interesting. Is your Zhu Family willing to provide us with a long-term location so that our people heading to the Divine Realm can have a temporary foothold? I will handle the trouble with the Tianyun Sect."

Zhu Changyuan said, "Brother Jiang has a good plan. I suddenly have an idea as well. If you can solve the trouble of the Tianyun Sect, then the Xiao Family's mansion can be used as the first landing point for the Divine Profound Continent's people heading to the Divine Realm. All of their industries will be managed by my Zhu Family. My Zhu Family will only take thirty percent of the profits, and the rest will go to your Divine Profound Continent. What do you think?"

"Good! Start preparing for a full takeover of the Xiao Family now. When we are ready to head to the Divine Realm, I will notify you in advance."

Xiao Fourth shouted, "Zhu Changyuan, you want to go to war with my Xiao Family? Have you thought about the consequences?"

Jiang Ye said, "Increase the fire and burn them all to death within five days! As for going to war? That won't happen! It will only be me slaughtering all of you."

Zhu Changyuan said, "In that case, I will head back to make preparations. Brother Jiang, see you in the Divine Realm!"

"Good!"

After the Zhu Family members left, Jiang Ye said, "Sect Master Huo, find a way to notify all powers in the Divine Profound Continent. From now on, all young Geniuses who reach the Super Profound Realm can go to the Divine Realm to Cultivate. This time, I will open a path for everyone to truly go to the Divine Realm to Cultivate."

Huo Rong said excitedly, "Good! Good! Good! We've finally waited for this day! Hahaha!"

The next day.

The entire Divine Profound Continent was shaken. Jiang Ye was about to open a path for everyone to truly go to the Divine Realm. For a time, the name Jiang Ye became like a god-like existence in the Divine Profound Continent!

Somewhere in the Lan Family.

Lan Lingji looked up at a certain part of the sky and murmured, "To think you could actually do this for everyone. It seems it was inevitable that you wouldn't choose me; I can't even keep up with your thoughts."

Lan Xiangyu walked over and said, "It seems your path to the Divine Realm won't have to be too rough. With Jiang Ye's protection, our people from the Divine Profound Continent will have a safety guarantee when they first arrive in the Divine Realm."

"In the past, I always underestimated him. I never expected him to reach such heights!"

Two days later.

Inside the Vajra Gate's Gravity Training Ground, the twenty people Jiang Ye brought began to exit seclusion one after another. When they walked out, each of them had an astonishing Aura, and their Realms were all at the third stage of the Spirit Profound Realm or higher.
