Within the Jiang Clan of the Nine Heavens...
"What? Jiang Che is undergoing his tribulation? The Divine Ascension Tribulation in the Mortal Realm? Foolish! Absolutely foolish!!!"
The news quickly spread through the Jiang Clan's network, reaching the ears of the Nine Heavens Jiang Clan.
Instantly, it caused an uproar.
"The Heavenly Dao of the Mortal Realm has only just begun to recover—its consciousness is still hazy, and its actions lack restraint. A Chaos Immortal Body undergoing tribulation will inevitably trigger an unprecedented, cataclysmic heavenly retribution. Even with the blessings of destiny and fortune... how could he possibly withstand such a calamity?"
In the ancestral hall of the Jiang Clan, a Quasi-Emperor slammed his thigh in frustration.
He was a staunch supporter of Jiang Hong's Bloodline, and the Jiang Clan in the Mortal Realm was a branch of that lineage.
Thus, Jiang Che could be considered a descendant of Jiang Hong. Given that one of their own had manifested an Immortal Body, Jiang Hong naturally placed immense importance on him.
"Even if he is a Chaos Immortal Body, even those with Immortal Spirit Roots must tread carefully when facing tribulation. Who among them doesn’t prepare countless life-saving measures before attempting it? He’s just a lone cultivator who recently entered the world of cultivation—his foundation is too weak. How could he possibly withstand the heavenly retribution?"
"Moreover, this kid rushed into the Divine Ascension Realm without tempering his lifespan—his foundation is far too unstable. Even if he somehow survives the tribulation... the Martial Dao Mark he comprehends will likely be mediocre at best."
Many elders of the Jiang Clan began lamenting in despair.
In the Nine Heavens, true geniuses deliberately prolong their lifespan, especially during the Shattering Heaven Stage—a critical juncture!
A cultivator must accumulate profound insights to comprehend a stronger Martial Dao Mark upon breaking through to the Divine Ascension Realm, unlocking more formidable laws.
Normally, a Shattering Heaven cultivator’s lifespan spans around 500 years. With the aid of life-extending pills and spirit fruits, it can stretch to a millennium!
Many cultivation prodigies wait until their lifespan is nearly exhausted, consuming vast quantities of vitality-restoring pills to return to their peak state before undergoing tribulation!
A thousand years of cultivation allows for the condensation of a far more powerful Martial Dao Mark.
But Jiang Che had only cultivated for a few years—there was no way he could comprehend anything extraordinary.
Without a strong Martial Dao Mark, even a Chaos Immortal Body would be useless.
It was like assembling a computer—if your CPU was an i5-4200 but your GPU was the top-tier RTX 4090 ROG Strix...
"What a waste! Such a waste of an Immortal Body! Why didn’t he consult our Jiang Clan before undergoing tribulation?"
A Quasi-Emperor at the peak of his realm smacked his thigh in frustration.
In the Nine Heavens, this was a physique countless dreamed of possessing.
Meanwhile, seated calmly on a rattan chair at the center of the hall was a middle-aged man whose presence, though seemingly ordinary, was impossible to ignore.
Jiang Hong!
One of the Jiang Clan’s ancestral elders, a figure of immense authority.
Jiang Hong rubbed his hands together lightly before his gaze gradually sharpened with resolve.
"Initiate Divine Descent immediately! The Immortal Body must not be lost—even if it costs an ocean of resources, we must save him! Jiang Che may carry the fate of our Jiang Clan for the next hundred thousand years. We cannot allow this lineage to be severed!"
Jiang Hong abruptly stood, a faint wisp of imperial majesty radiating from him.
The fate of the clan...
Indeed, the Nine Heavens spanned nearly ten million domains, with living beings beyond counting.
Yet Immortal Bodies were exceedingly rare. Each emergence signaled the dawn of a golden age, and nearly 80% of them were secretly assassinated by powerful clans before they could mature, their bloodlines forcibly extracted...
Those who survived and grew to their full potential invariably ascended to immortality!
"I will sever ten thousand years of my lifespan to descend a divine decree and communicate with the Heavenly Dao of the Mortal Realm. We must protect Jiang Che! With the golden age upon us... without an Immortal Body, our Jiang Clan has no future!"
Severing ten thousand years of lifespan...
The Jiang Clan members present widened their eyes in shock.
"Ancestor Jiang Hong, you mustn’t! Even if you’ve lived a second life, an Emperor’s lifespan is only fifty thousand years. To sever ten thousand at once..."
"Exactly! A crippled Immortal Body isn’t worth such an investment!"
Jiang Hong fell silent for a moment. "First, I’ll project my consciousness across realms to observe whether the Immortal Body can endure the tribulation. If he falters, I will intervene!"
He decided to proceed cautiously—after all, his remaining lifespan was limited, and losing ten thousand years in one go would be unbearable.
Soon, Jiang Hong channeled his divine power.
Though the connection between the Mortal Realm and the Nine Heavens had long been severed, making it nearly impossible even for an Emperor to cross over...
An Emperor was still an Emperor—a being capable of plucking stars from the sky. By sacrificing certain treasures, they could forcibly interfere with affairs in the lower realm.
The cost, however, was exorbitant even for an Emperor.
"Cough... Formation, complete!"
Jiang Hong’s aged eyes flashed as he waved his hand, conjuring a translucent screen before him.
Displayed upon it was the scene of Jiang Che undergoing tribulation.
Yet when they saw the terrifying spectacle of the heavenly retribution, they were all left dumbstruck.
The world seemed to have fallen into silence, with only the roiling thunderclouds dominating the sky.
Within the clouds, streaks of lightning coalesced into countless thunder-crows, weaving a net of annihilation. The sheer pressure was suffocating.
The might of the heavens manifested in myriad forms—lightning bolts taking shape, even condensing into humanoid figures that besieged Jiang Che mid-tribulation. Yet every single one of these ancient lightning avatars was obliterated with a single palm strike from Jiang Che!
Jiang Hong and the Jiang Clan elders: "......"
Even separated by an entire realm, they could feel the overwhelming aura of dominance.
"What... what kind of tribulation is this? I’ve never seen anything like it!"
"Wait, let me consult the ancient records!"
"Unprecedented. In my eighty thousand years of life, I’ve witnessed tribulations like 'Ten Thousand Calamities Unbroken' and 'Great Dao Indestructible,' but never this. Could the Mortal Realm’s Heavenly Dao have developed a new variant?"
"Brother Jiang Hong, have you ever encountered such a tribulation?"
Jiang Hong’s lips twitched. He wanted to say—damn it, he hadn’t either!
But one thing was certain—this tribulation surpassed every recorded heavenly retribution in ferocity.
Its scale alone rivaled that of a Nirvana Realm tribulation!
"The Chaos Immortal Body... today, I’ve truly witnessed its might. This must be a tribulation unique to the Chaos Immortal Body. Truly worthy of its name."
Jiang Hong, however, stroked his chin, frowning as he observed Jiang Che’s figure. Something about the tribulation felt off, but with only a projection, he couldn’t discern the truth.
Still, Jiang Che’s Chaos Immortal Body was undoubtedly genuine!
...
[Ding! Host’s act of dominance has shocked numerous ancestral elders. Reward: 5,000,000 points.]
Jiang Che: "???"
Holy hell, a massive windfall! A single burst netted him 5 million points—even the Son of Destiny, Chu Yuan, had only ever provided 3 million at most.
Wait... numerous ancestral elders?
Could the Jiang Clan elders from the Nine Heavens be spying on him?
A shame, really. Separated by realms, his Divine Hearing ability couldn’t pick up their thoughts yet.
But since the old ancestors have shown up, this young master is gonna use you all to score some serious bragging rights!
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.

Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?"
