Time.
The past slipping away bit by bit.
The eyes in the sky stared at the old hen incubating the egg with a gaze that was half believing and half doubtful.
Mo Tianji also sat cross-legged next to Jia Jiaqin of the Jia family.
She had no doubts that the chicken hatched by Jia Jiaqin of the Jia family would have the bloodline of the Nine Heaven Divine Phoenix.
After all, there were still a bunch being raised within the Heaven and Earth Sect. Her master had let Chi YiBarrel cook them from stir-frying to stewing mushrooms for a whole month without finishing them.
What puzzled her was why Jia Jiaqin could know Yellow Sky's idea of continuing its lineage.
Unable to hold back, she softly asked Jia Jiaqin.
"It's simple. For any species, continuing their offspring is their instinct, a kind of innate behavior."
"Also, after comprehending the books 'How Family Fowl Are Raised' and 'How to Know Animals' Inner Thoughts through Details' in the Scripture Pavilion, I can know any animal's thoughts from a look in their eyes or a gesture."
"Just like when a sow climbs the railing, it must be mating season."
"So I can judge Yellow Sky's thoughts through various details, nothing strange about that."
"Moreover, Yellow Sky is a beast from several eons ago, and its kind have probably all disappeared from the Immortal Jiang continent, so how to continue its lineage must be one of its heart's knots."
Jia Jiaqin patiently explained all this to Mo Tianji.
"I see."
"Junior brother is taught."
Mo Tianji showed a look of sudden realization, cupping her fist to Jia Jiaqin.
Through Jia Jiaqin's explanation today, she had also broadened her horizons and increased her knowledge.
Just then.
The old hen clucked and got up.
Jia Jiaqin swiftly took back the old hen, chuckling, "Wait and see."
Hearing this.
Yellow Sky's huge pupils fixedly stared at the egg.
"Crack!"
A soft cracking sound rang out.
Then they saw a chick with colorful feathers break out of the shell.
And the instant it broke out of the shell, the hidden Yellow Sky suddenly widened its eyes.
Its massive body even shook uncontrollably.
This chick...
It actually really had the bloodline of the Nine Heaven Divine Phoenix.
It was truly unbelievable.
"How, how did you accomplish this?"
Its heart was filled with turmoil as it anxiously asked.
"It doesn't matter how it was bred, the key is I bred a chick with the Nine Heaven Divine Phoenix bloodline before your eyes, so you should be able to believe I can easily breed your descendants if I want." Jia Jiaqin leisurely said.
"But, I am the only one left in the world with my race's bloodline, how can I continue it alone?" Yellow Sky urgently asked.
"Simple, I can take your bloodline and put it in a test tube."
"Test tube?"
"I said you wouldn't understand. You just need to know I can easily help continue your lineage."
Yellow Sky moved its massive throat.
Swallowing down a mouthful of saliva.
Its emotions were excited, and also filled with apprehension and disbelief.
That's right.
What species didn't want to avoid extinction?
Moreover it was a rare ancient bloodline that had gained sentience after living countless eons. How could it not want descendants to continue its lineage?
It held its breath and solemnly looked at Jia Jiaqin, asking, "Then what do you need me to do?"
"Of course, serve me unconditionally.
Jia Jiaqin slowly and systematically said, "Also, I should tell you my esteemed master likes game meat. If he takes a fancy to your meat, you'll also have to unconditionally offer your body to grace my master's dining table."
"Certainly."
"To repay you, I'll help continue your descendants."
Having said this.
Jia Jiaqin confidently raised his head.
Calmly looking into Yellow Sky's eyes, quietly waiting for its answer.
The space fell silent.
Only Yellow Sky's heavy breathing could be heard.
And after a brief silence, finally came Yellow Sky's voice.
"Alright."
"I agree to you, but you must keep your promise to me."
Yellow Sky solemnly said.
"Definitely."
Jia Jiaqin smiled with a nod, continuing to say, "Your cultivation is still unstable, first recover for a day. I'll come get you tomorrow!"
"Good, no problem."
Yellow Sky acknowledged.
"Senior sister, let's go!" Jia Jiaqin softly said.
Mo Tianji nodded, looking at her junior brother with a strange brilliance in her eyes.
Jia Jiaqin's performance today had really made her look at him with admiration.
She had thought they would have a great battle, even thrashing about and wrestling before Jia Jiaqin could barely subdue Yellow Sky relying on the Heaven and Earth Sect's hidden trump cards.
She hadn't expected it to be so easy.
He had even unhesitatingly told Yellow Sky that in the future when his master wanted to eat meat, Yellow Sky would be presented on the dining table.
It seemed he wasn't afraid of Yellow Sky getting angry at all, much less afraid Yellow Sky wouldn't agree.
This ability to scheme and plot, keeping Yellow Sky under control, simply amazed her.
As expected.
There wasn't a single mediocre lamp among the disciples of her master.
They were all truly monstrous prodigies!
And after Jia Jiaqin and the others left, the sealed land cracked open, and then an enormous magma beast walked out from the fissure.
It was Yellow Sky's true body.
Feeling the fresh outside air, it quickly cultivated its inner energy.
Its eyes even faintly showed impatience.
It knew that after being sealed for several eons, even regaining its peak strength, this life was over, it would have no greater achievements.
It truly was a rotten fate.
Being able to use its life to exchange for continuation of its lineage was worth it!
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the imperial city of the Cloud Top Empire was filled with people.
Led by Extinction and the Cloud Top Emperor, anticipation filled each of their faces.
After scheming for so long.
They had finally reached this day.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
