The coffin lid truly couldn’t hold back any longer!
A massive coffin lid soared into the sky, and at the same moment... a terrifying aura instantly enveloped thousands of surrounding regions, with an overwhelming immortal energy suppressing the heavens and earth!
Powerful figures from many factions across the Eastern Cangtian turned their gazes in this direction, their eyes filled with fear and shock.
Even the great emperors and ancestral elders of the Divine Lands awoke from their secluded cultivation, feeling as insignificant as ants!
Some immortals even observed in secret.
The Jiang family... seemed to have encountered another major incident recently!
In the ancestral grounds, a coffin crafted from immortal wood, eroded by the passage of time, was nearly decayed to nothing.
A withered hand reached out from the coffin, followed by an ancient-robed, desiccated corpse-like elder sitting upright inside.
"Damn it all, this old man has finally waited for this day! Just a few more hours and I would’ve perished. System, you were right after all... I’ve finally met the destined one—I could cry!"
Though the old man looked like he was on his last legs, he was beyond excited!
He was a Chosen One bound to a Heavenly Dao-level system, a leader of his era. But his cultivation had stagnated at the Three Tribulations Immortal Lord realm, and then the system abandoned him—though not before telling him to seal himself in immortal essence and wait for 280,000 years for a fated individual!
Half-believing, half-doubting, he still chose to trust the system. And now... he had finally waited!
A single Longevity Peach, infused with life-extending essence, reignited the dying embers of his immortal body.
Now, he felt terrifyingly powerful!
Jiang Zhankong stood up, stretching his limbs, before casting his gaze toward a certain point in the void.
"Congratulations, fellow immortal, on your rebirth and the elixir that granted you extended life..." A long-haired man, as beautiful as a woman, stepped out from the void, holding an ancient book and an ink brush.
"You have three seconds to scram! Or I’ll happily celebrate my revival by taking your life."
"Tch, I just wanted to record this! Tomorrow’s headline in the Nine Heavens Daily will be—‘The Resurrection of a Three Tribulations Immortal Lord’—how explosive is that? And... I’d also like to know what kind of treasure could extend an immortal’s lifespan by ten thousand years?"
The white-robed youth raised his brush, as if jotting something down.
Clearly, this was Gu Xiaoyao, a member of the Heaven Pavilion under the Chosen Ones Association—an immortal bound to a Heavenly Dao-level system. His power grew by recording major events across the Nine Heavens, earning him the title of the Ultimate War Correspondent.
......
"Oh? The Third Ancestor has revived! The Third Ancestor has truly revived!!!"
"It seems that immortal peach worked its magic!"
The Jiang family was ecstatic.
Meanwhile, Jiang Che remained perfectly calm and composed.
Third Ancestor? Time to squeeze some treasures out of him first!
With enough audacity, even an immortal’s head could be plucked bald!
Before long, the so-called Third Ancestor arrived.
Gu Xiaoyao was nowhere to be seen.
The ancestral grounds were a forbidden land separate from the Jiang family’s main territory, unprotected by the clan’s immortal defense formations. Within the clan’s grounds, under the protection of the formations, Gu Xiaoyao wouldn’t have been able to sneak in unnoticed.
As for why the ancestral grounds lacked such defenses—who in their right mind would provoke a graveyard full of half-dead old monsters? And if these old-timers were in a bad mood... they could always pull off a "Perish Together with Heaven" move!
"Oh? So you’re the fated one!" The Third Ancestor was thrilled, practically leaning in as if he wanted to drag Jiang Che through the screen for a drink.
"Uh, greetings, Third Ancestor!" Jiang Che was very polite!
"Good, good, of course it’s good!" The Third Ancestor grinned, flashing his pearly whites. At a glance, Jiang Che was clearly a junior with overwhelming fortune. On his way here... he had already learned everything about Jiang Che!
Twin Immortal Physiques, a Dao Body descendant, the Everlasting Peach Tree, and suspected to be an incarnation of the Mortal Realm’s Heavenly Dao!
Not only had he, a Three Tribulations Immortal Lord, never heard of such a thing—even if the Second Ancestor, the First Ancestor, and all the ancient immortals who had kicked the bucket were resurrected, they wouldn’t have either!
"Third Ancestor... this is our first meeting, right?" Jiang Che rubbed his hands together, grinning like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Third Ancestor: "......"
[Ding! Host has successfully scammed the Third Ancestor, earning 800 million points.]
First meeting, and you old geezer think you can get away without coughing up some goodies? Especially after I just extended your lifespan.
"Heh, don’t worry, I’ve got treasures—plenty of them, prepared long ago!" The Third Ancestor’s smile deepened.
Back when he sealed himself in immortal essence, the system had told him a fated one would appear. Ever since then, he had stockpiled a mountain of gifts. Opportunities favor the prepared!
He was clearly miles ahead!
"Thank you, Third Ancestor. Coincidentally, I also have some treasures I haven’t shown yet..." Jiang Che wasn’t in a hurry. Sooner or later, all these immortals would be fleeced bald by him.
[Ding! Host has scammed an Immortal Ancestor, earning 500 million points.]
Come on, it’s not really a scam, right?
What immortals desire is few and far between—lifespan is their top priority!
And Jiang Che had lifespan to spare. His immortal peaches didn’t bear fruit once every hundred years—they bloomed annually!
And each harvest yielded more than one!
He gave the ancestors what they needed most—lifespan. In return, they showered him with endless resources and treasures. A win-win!
"Oh? What other treasures do you have?" The Third Ancestor was also eager to see. Just how thick were the thighs of this legendary fated one—the one even his Heavenly Dao-level system had praised?
Even a mighty Three Tribulations Immortal like him sometimes wanted to hitch a ride on a young man’s coattails.
"Supreme Longevity Pills!"
Jiang Che flashed his pearly whites and flipped his hand—
Dozens of Supreme Longevity Pills materialized before everyone’s eyes.
The crowd fell into stunned silence. Though these pills looked utterly plain—even ugly, resembling nothing more than black maltose balls—
The immortals present could clearly sense the life essence contained within them!
More lifespan-extending substance!!!
Though the amount in each pill was less than a ten-thousandth of what was in the Longevity Peach...
The sheer quantity made up for it!
"Supreme Longevity Pills!!! They truly are Supreme Longevity Pills!"
The legendary pinnacle of alchemy, spoken of only in myths!
Supreme Longevity Pills!
Forged by refining the spiritual energy of all creation, requiring no herbs—using heaven and earth as the cauldron and the essence of all things as the catalyst!
The ultimate alchemical achievement, condensing the spiritual energy of the world into lifespan-extending substance. This was the difference between Supreme Longevity Pills and ordinary ones.
Or rather, they were fundamentally different entities!
"H-how... How can these truly exist?! Where did you obtain these pills?!"
The Third Ancestor’s jaw dropped in shock. Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years—a true fossil of the Nine Heavens—he had never heard of anyone successfully refining these legendary immortal pills of eternal life.
"Uh... it was my master!" Jiang Che didn’t want to keep blaming the Heavenly Realm anymore—pinning it on his nonexistent master was just as good!
"Master? You have a master???"
The immortals were completely stunned. How could the very incarnation of the Heavenly Dao have a master? Who would dare to be his master?
Just how indestructible must one’s fate be to claim the title of master to the Heavenly Dao itself!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
