687: Chapter 687 The Ancestor of Joyful Union

"Who are you..."

"Joyous Union Old Ancestor!!"

Jiang Xingwan's expression changed drastically; the Profound Yin mana she had just reined in within her body began to leak out uncontrollably, and the sky, which had just cleared up, became tinged with gloom.

"I didn't expect anyone in the Sect to still remember me; it is truly gratifying!"

The Joyous Union Old Ancestor wore a dark red robe and appeared to be in his thirties or forties. He had a well-defined, standard, and imposing handsome face, though his skin had a sickly pallor, and wrinkles were clearly visible when he smiled.

"I am very curious!" The Joyous Union Old Ancestor looked at Jiang Xingwan. "The Sect's Legacy was incomplete, and I took away the Pure Yang Dao when I left back then. How did you manage to achieve a Breakthrough?"

"Could it really just be because of... him?" The Joyous Union Old Ancestor shifted his gaze to Liu Xuan, who was beside Jiang Xingwan.

Jiang Xingwan stepped forward to block Liu Xuan, saying indifferently, "Old Ancestor, what is your intention in returning to the Sect this time?"

The Joyous Union Old Ancestor did not get angry at Jiang Xingwan's rude attitude; he shook his head and muttered to himself, "Four thousand years! The world has changed, old friends are gone, and the Joyous Union Sect today is completely different from back then!"

"Haha!"

"Hahaha..."

As he spoke, he began to laugh neurotically, looking at Jiang Xingwan with burning eyes, and said excitedly, "I have cultivated for four thousand years to reach the Peak, and it just so happens that the world is undergoing a great transformation. Now that you have achieved the Dao through Profound Yin and ascended to a Soul Transformation Great Cultivator, it is truly Heaven helping me!"

The Joyous Union Old Ancestor sighed excitedly to himself, then suddenly restrained his smile. "You ask what I intend to do?"

"I want you to become my Dao Companion, I want the Joyous Union Sect to become the number one prominent Sect in the world, and I want to use the momentum of heaven and earth to verify the Dao and achieve Ascension!"

Jiang Xingwan curled her lips into a cold smile. "I am afraid that will disappoint you, Old Ancestor; I am already married, and it is impossible for me to become your Dao Companion."

"You dare to defy me?!"

The Joyous Union Old Ancestor narrowed his eyes, the gloomy sky split open with countless cracks, and the Bright Yang celestial light poured down.

"Old Ancestor, please do not be angry; allow me to persuade Senior Sister Jiang."

Seeing the atmosphere become tense, Caixuan Daoist Lord Song Yurao stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Senior Sister Jiang, the Old Ancestor's cultivation has already approached the Peak of Soul Transformation; he is a perfect match for you. If the two of you become Dao Companions, our Joyous Union Sect might even have the hope of recreating the prosperous era of ancient times. Why not do it?"

Jiang Xingwan coldly glanced at Caixuan Daoist Lord Song Yurao and said eerily, "I hate traitors the most. From now on, as long as I am in the Joyous Union Sect, there will never be a place for you, Caixuan Daoist Lord Song Yurao!"

Caixuan Daoist Lord Song Yurao's face turned pale, and she took two steps back, then hurriedly defended herself: "I did not betray! I am thinking of Senior Sister, thinking of the Sect!"

Jiang Xingwan had advanced to a Great Cultivator; regardless of the outcome today, the Old Ancestor would not kill her, and the two would most likely become Dao Companions. This threat from her put immense pressure on Caixuan Daoist Lord Song Yurao.

Seeing that Jiang Xingwan was unmoved, Caixuan Daoist Lord Song Yurao hardened her heart and decided to burn the bridges. She pointed at Liu Xuan behind her and said to the Joyous Union Old Ancestor, "He is Senior Sister Jiang's Dao Companion, Liu Xuan. This person has a great secret; Senior Sister Jiang's successful Breakthrough must be related to him."

Liu Xuan slowly paced forward. "Senior Sister Song, I treated you with sincerity, but in return, I received such great malice; it is truly chilling!"

Although Liu Xuan did not like Caixuan Daoist Lord Song Yurao using Dual Cultivation to Cultivate, he did not interfere much. She could not be taken into his harem, but she was quite good as a subordinate; Liu Xuan considered that he had not treated her unfairly.

"Sincerity?" Caixuan Daoist Lord Song Yurao stared at Liu Xuan with resentment. "You despise me, you think I am dirty; do you think I cannot tell?"

"What right do you have to despise me?"

"I harvest to Cultivate, while you..."

"You are unbridled in your lust, you cannot live without women; you are a thorough and complete lecher, a pervert!"

Liu Xuan was left dumbfounded by the scolding; according to Caixuan Daoist Lord Song Yurao's claims, the reason she betrayed him was entirely his fault?

"Enough!!"

The Joyous Union Old Ancestor was annoyed by the listening and roared to interrupt their nonsense. Then, he stared fixedly at Jiang Xingwan and said, "Hand over that brat beside you, and then become my Dao Companion for Dual Cultivation; I do not want to say this a second time!"

"Heh!"

Jiang Xingwan snorted coldly. "Even if you say it another hundred times, it is useless; there is no place for you in today's Joyous Union Sect."

"Hum~"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Yin-Yang Great Island lit up with layers of spiritual light from the Formation. The Yin and Yang Qi flowed slowly, and the massive phantom of the Taiji continuously expanded.

"Good!"

"Very good!"

A layer of brilliant spiritual light emanated from the Joyous Union Old Ancestor, and a fluctuation spread from him, instantly shattering the power of the Formation that was suppressing him.

"You want to use the power of the Formation to suppress me? Have you forgotten that I am the true Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect?"

The Yin-Yang Great Formation was indeed strong, but the Joyous Union Old Ancestor had controlled this Array for no less time than Jiang Xingwan; he could also control the Array!

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, he frowned, discovering that the Yin-Yang Great Formation was actually not under his control. His Divine Sense could not reach the core of the Array, and even the various nodes of the Formation had been changed.

"So you have long had the heart to rebel!"

The anger on the Joyous Union Old Ancestor's face disappeared, but he looked even more chilling.

"This is your confidence?"

"You are too naive!"

"Hum~"

A massive crack split open above the Yin-Yang Great Island, and scorching Bright Yang celestial light shone down. Under the illumination of the light, the Joyous Union Old Ancestor looked like a monarch dwelling in the sun; ordinary Cultivators could not even look directly at him.

"The Yin-Yang Great Formation was built according to the Dao of Yin and Yang. Even if you changed the core of the Formation and seized my control, the Array's suppression on me is limited; you are still not my match!"

"Boom!"

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~"

The Bright Yang celestial light rolled down like magma, and the pure Yin black part of the Yin-Yang Taiji phantom was being frantically evaporated.

The massive Taiji Yin-Yang diagram rotated slowly, and the Pure Yang Qi was converted into pure Profound Yin Qi as the Array circulated.

Jiang Xingwan's eyes had turned completely black, but one could still see her solemn expression. She had just advanced, and her cultivation had not yet had time to stabilize; even with the blessing of the Array, she was clearly at a disadvantage.

"Yang is rigid and honorable, while Yin is soft and auxiliary. You are inherently not good at killing; I advise you to think clearly, I will give you one more chance to submit!"

Jiang Xingwan was the only Great Cultivator to achieve the Dao through Profound Yin. The Joyous Union Old Ancestor's true goal was to perform Dual Cultivation with her, so he had not yet resorted to lethal attacks.

To him, the value of the entire Joyous Union Sect combined was not as high as Jiang Xingwan alone; if not necessary, he did not want to harm a single hair on Jiang Xingwan.

Just as Jiang Xingwan was struggling to hold on, Liu Xuan suddenly appeared beside her and took her hand.

The two looked at each other without words. The solemnity on Jiang Xingwan's face instantly dissipated, and she revealed a gentle smile. Then, with tacit understanding, she coordinated with Liu Xuan to execute a combined attack technique, their Divine Souls and mana merging together.

"Hum~"

The position of the Profound Yin eye in the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram where Jiang Xingwan was located suddenly lit up with blazing white Pure Yang, and a completely different Divine Soul aura climbed continuously.

"My wife is indeed not good at killing, but I know a thing or two!"

As Liu Xuan's voice rang out, the Yin-Yang Great Formation changed violently. The Yin-Yang Taiji phantom continuously solidified and rapidly expanded outward. Not only the Yin-Yang Great Island, but the entire Yin-Yang Archipelago also lit up with countless spiritual lights.

In a moment, the entire Yin-Yang Archipelago's Spiritual Qi surged, and it all lit up.
