Jiang Langsheng: Jiang Tiedan I'm Not Familiar with That Name

“Half-step into the Divine Realm?”

Jiang Che raised an eyebrow. “Grandpa... do you need Thunder Tribulation Pills? Or maybe Divine Realm Pills... My master has brewed quite a few of these.”

“The Thunder Tribulation Pills can reduce 95% of the damage from the Divine Realm’s thunder tribulation, and the Divine Realm Pills can help one leap directly over the tribulation to ascend into the Divine Realm...”

Jiang Yunhuang twitched the corner of his mouth. His grandson really was loaded! He had never even heard of these pills before.

“No need. I’ve heard from the ancestors in the Nine Heavens that the thunder tribulation is a trial that must be faced. Since I’ve already forged my own path of immortality, if I avoid the tribulation, how can I speak of true immortality and eternal life?”

Although Jiang Yunhuang was only half a step into the Divine Realm, his aura was so imposing that even Jiang Che was taken aback.

Even Mo Lianxing, who resided within the Spirit-Nurturing Ring, couldn’t help but praise him.

“Jiang Che... your grandfather has already carved out his own martial path. As long as he lives, stepping into the Nirvana Stage is only a matter of time...”

Jiang Che pondered for a moment, as if a thought had just struck him.

“Grandpa, when are you planning to undergo the thunder tribulation?”

“Whenever I want. Although I’m old, my vitality is still incredibly strong! A mere thunder tribulation...”

Jiang Yunhuang had once been on the brink of exhaustion, with only a few years left to live. But now, having reached half-step Divine Realm, his lifespan had extended by hundreds of years, and his vitality was at its peak.

“Grandpa, recently the world has been experiencing a resurgence of spiritual energy, and some small countries are starting to stir... When you undergo the thunder tribulation, you could even broadcast it live worldwide!”

Jiang Che’s words made Jiang Yunhuang pause.

Live broadcast?

He was already in his seventies. Although he often watched borderline risqué live streams, doing a live broadcast himself might be a bit too much to keep up with the times.

“This is a critical period. The main goal is to establish authority! A fully powered Divine Realm expert can intimidate many with ill intentions.”

Jiang Yunhuang was silent for a long moment before resolutely nodding.

“No problem at all. I’ll adjust my vitality over the next couple of days and strive to break through to the Divine Realm at my strongest!”

“Oh, one more thing, Che’er! Should we pay respects at the Jiang family ancestral hall? The old ancestors have been manifesting frequently lately... Your master is a towering figure above the Nine Heavens. If luck is on our side, maybe you two can communicate.”

Jiang Che raised an eyebrow.

Smoke rising from the ancestral tomb... That sounded interesting. He had to check it out.

...

The Jiang Family Ancestral Hall.

As soon as Jiang Che entered, he couldn’t hold back a laugh.

[“Pair of twos!”]

[“Damn! Four jacks, you want them or not?”]

[“I want! Royal flush...”]

From a distance, Jiang Che could hear the lively chatter inside the ancestral hall through his clairaudience.

Were they... playing cards?

Ridiculous! Which Jiang family member would dare to play cards inside the ancestral hall?

But when Jiang Che stepped inside, it was completely empty!

Apart from numerous ancestral tablets and a huge incense burner, there was nothing else.

Yet his clairaudience was crystal clear.

[“Huh? A junior has arrived? Is this... Jiang family bloodline?”]

[“Oh? This kid’s cultivation is already at the Sky-breaking Stage? Such a young Sky-breaking Stage cultivator... even within our Jiang family, he’s considered a rising star of his generation...”]

[Wait! Something’s off! This guy’s constitution... you three old geezers, stop playing cards and take a look at his constitution! Am I seeing things?]

["Holy crap! Holy crap, holy crap! His body contains the chaotic Yin-Yang Qi — a rare Chaotic Immortal Constitution that appears once in ten thousand years? And... in his dantian, there are nine blossoming blue lotuses, making him a top-tier Chaotic Blue Lotus Immortal Constitution among all chaotic types!!!"]

In an instant, the few ‘lost souls’ sleeping in the ancestral hall stirred with excitement!

Jiang Che, however, was speechless.

Though he couldn’t see them, he had already guessed... these guys were probably the ancestors of the Jiang family residing in the Nine Heavens!

The Divine Technique of Listening, Diting, allows one to hear thoughts regardless of cultivation level!

In other words, even if a True Immortal descended, Jiang Che could still hear their thoughts without being detected!

After Jiang Yunhuang entered the ancestral hall, a look of reverence instantly appeared on his face.

“Ancestors! Are you all here? Jiang Langsheng, my senior... this is your junior’s grandson...”

Meanwhile, Jiang Che was scrutinizing the plaques in the hall.

It was truly strange. Judging by the words of these ‘ghosts,’ they had probably been in the Jiang family ancestral hall for quite some time — likely even before the spiritual energy resurgence.

A bit baffled, he continued to listen.

[Is this really a Chaotic Blue Lotus Constitution? But how could such a transcendent immortal constitution possibly be born under the mortal realm’s heavenly Dao and fate?]

[You never know. After all, the heavenly Dao of the mortal realm is reclaiming the origin of the great path. It’s bound to produce a large number of exceptionally gifted destined children... this is fate’s will!]

[Among the many heavenly domains in the Nine Heavens, with nearly ten million prefectures... immortal constitutions are rare to see. Why would the mortal realm have one?]

[The immortal constitution is real! And this one carries our Jiang family bloodline. An immortal constitution... the Jiang family finally has one!!!]

[Langsheng, your specialty is the soul. Quickly project your soul... we must have a chat with this genius junior.]

[Why is it always me? Fine, fine... for the sake of the immortal constitution, I won’t hold it against you!]

Soon, a wisp of blue smoke drifted out, gradually taking the shape of an old man.

Jiang Yunhuang immediately bowed deeply upon seeing this.

Jiang Che calmly studied the ethereal figure before him.

It was truly strange — this wasn’t a soul form! He couldn’t even detect the slightest soul fluctuation from this person.

But judging by their previous conversation, it seemed this old man had projected his soul from the Nine Heavens.

Jiang Langsheng stood with his hands folded, nodding approvingly at Jiang Che’s composed demeanor.

“Impressive! Such a young age, yet possessing such calmness and composure in the face of a crisis... truly worthy of being a descendant of our Jiang family.”

But Jiang Che’s very first words almost made him lose it.

“You’re the ‘Jiang Tiedan’ my grandpa talked about?”

Jiang Langsheng’s face instantly stiffened.

For a moment, he genuinely felt like killing.

The name ‘Tiedan’... only those at the ‘Senior Realm’ dared to call him that. Anyone at the ‘Daoist Realm’ who used that name would be risking their life!

And yet, this junior of the Jiang family was just a ‘mite-level’ Karami.

But he had no choice — this junior before him was no ordinary descendant at all.

It was a chaotic azure lotus body, one of the top-tier immortal forms. As long as it didn’t perish... it was destined to become an immortal in the future. Such a being was incredibly important. Even if he were to defecate on their heads... all they could do was gape in stunned silence and accept it.

“Ahem... I am called Jiang Langsheng. Who is this Jiang Tiedan... I have never heard of him!”
