"This junior Jiang Che, he really loves to stir up trouble!"
In the Jiang family, the ancestral elders were immensely troubled.
Who couldn't this fellow have provoked? He had to go and provoke the Heaven's Vault Saint, even putting a green hat on him!
The key point is, even if you put a green hat on him, why did you have to go and announce it? Now everyone across the Nine Heavens knows... making it impossible to smooth things over.
"Jiang Hong, did you see? The Dragon Palace has already faced a great calamity, that Heaven's Vault Immortal Emperor made his move... all the Great Emperor Immortals severed a part of their own cultivation. Will he come for us next?"
Great Emperor Jiang Hong shook his head with a bitter smile, "How should I know? That's a Six Tribulation Immortal Emperor... Although our Jiang family possesses a protective clan formation, whether it can withstand an Immortal Emperor's assault... remains unknown."
Immortal Emperor!
It pressed down on everyone's hearts like a massive boulder.
That's an Immortal Emperor, who wouldn't fear him?
On the other side, the immortals of the Jiang family also began to gather. All the immortal ancestors appeared!
The situation looked extremely grave!
"This is bad, Jiang Che is in danger! That Heaven's Vault Immortal Emperor will surely descend to the mortal realm to find him... the barrier between realms cannot stop an Immortal Emperor!"
A Two Tribulation Immortal with graying beard and hair frowned deeply.
"Forget about Jiang Che for now. How should our Jiang family avoid the reckoning of that Heaven's Vault Immortal Emperor? That's the most critical issue!"
"How to avoid? That Li Cangqiong has now achieved Dao Union, he has reached the Transcendence Realm. Even our Jiang family's protective clan formation probably can't do anything against him!"
"Third Ancestor, this is an Immortal Emperor!"
This reminded them of the incident some days ago, when that young girl from the Jiala clan came seeking revenge, even threatening to trigger an immortal tribulation to blow up the Jiang family?
At that time, these old fellows were all in deep slumber, but they paid it no mind at all.
That Jiala Empress didn't even understand the Jiang family's true depth, being just a third-rate force, her perspective limited. If not for her daughter's connection to Jiang Che, the Jiala clan would have been wiped out long ago.
But now it's different. An Immortal Emperor is coming to their doorstep.
"Don't panic... there is one final measure!" The Third Ancestor narrowed his eyes.
Slowly, he took out a bronze mirror from his sleeve!
The mirror was covered in green patina, but its surface was exceptionally smooth, even reflective.
"What is this?"
Third Ancestor's gaze was resolute, "This is the only means to contact her. Five hundred thousand years ago... I once met her. If she hasn't perished from old age... she should have achieved Dao Union by now!"
"Third Brother!!! What are you thinking? Besides that Human Emperor from five hundred thousand years ago who successfully achieved Dao Union, merging with the Samsara Great Dao to ascend to the Supreme Immortal Emperor realm, no one else has ever achieved Dao Union since! Even the Second Ancestor... should have died long ago!"
Third Ancestor's voice trembled slightly. How could he not know?
But now, with the Jiang family in crisis, they must try!
Otherwise, when the Heaven's Vault Immortal Emperor arrives at their gate, everything will be over.
"Don't move! Let me try!"
However, no matter how the Third Ancestor manipulated it, the bronze mirror showed no reaction whatsoever.
"Are you still there? The Jiang family is about to face a great calamity. If you have achieved Dao Union... please manifest. If not, you could go protect Jiang Che. He is the hope for our Jiang family's future!"
The Third Ancestor cried out hoarsely, but the bronze mirror still gave no response.
Until, outside the Jiang family's perimeter, a figure slowly appeared!
A middle-aged man in ancient robes, surrounded by swirling immortal energy, his aura terrifying and peerless.
"I am Li Cangqiong, here to hold the Jiang family accountable!"
The Heaven's Vault Immortal Emperor was giving the Jiang family considerable face by coming personally in his true form to demand answers!
The Jiang family and the Dragon Palace were not on the same level. The Jiang family, as a Longevity Immortal Clan, possessed a frightening number of hidden cards and contingency plans. If he forcefully attacked the Jiang family, who knows what might happen. Although he was a Six Tribulation Immortal Emperor, it was still wise to be cautious.
...
The Heaven's Vault Immortal Emperor had arrived!
The breathing of all the Jiang family immortals grew heavy.
All the immortals present combined wouldn't be enough for Li Cangqiong to fight alone, let alone the fact that he had now achieved Dao Union.
One Four Tribulation Immortal Lord, two Three Tribulation Immortal Masters, and the rest were all Two Tribulation and One Tribulation immortals.
Not even a single Five Tribulation Immortal Venerable. What did they have to oppose an Immortal Emperor?
"Heaven's Vault Immortal Emperor! This matter is our Jiang family's fault!"
Third Ancestor stepped forward. He was the strongest cultivator here!
Originally stuck at the Three Tribulation level, but Jiang Che had given him a Longevity Immortal Peach, extending his life by ten thousand years. He had now successfully transcended his immortal tribulation and advanced to Four Tribulation Immortal Lord.
"Jiang Lan? Heh... you're not dead yet? So what if you luckily advanced to Four Tribulations? Are you the strongest in the Jiang family now?"
Third Ancestor Jiang Lan's expression turned extremely ugly. Although he had bound a Heavenly Dao-level system, the items in the system shop became quite useless after reaching the immortal realm, let alone against an Immortal Emperor?
"Heaven's Vault Immortal Emperor, it was only your disciple's fiancée. Are you certain you want to start a war with our Jiang family? Relying on my Jiang family's million-year heritage, and the ancient immortal formations laid down by multiple Immortal Emperor progenitors, even if we cannot defeat you... we can still sever one of your true lives."
Third Ancestor's voice carried a chill.
"Heh... are you threatening me?" The Heaven's Vault Immortal Emperor showed displeasure.
The Demon Ancestor affair had already annoyed him enough, and now even the Jiang family dared to threaten him?
"You can understand it that way! At worst, we fight to the death! Moreover, among us dozen or so old fellows, seven have bound Heavenly Dao-level systems. If we all detonate our Heavenly Dao-level systems simultaneously, while it may not kill one of your true lives, severely injuring you is certainly possible."
Upon hearing this, the Heaven's Vault Immortal Emperor frowned deeply, "Madmen! A bunch of madmen!"
"However, you seem to have forgotten... I have achieved Dao Union! Your tricks have no effect on me anymore!" The Heaven's Vault Immortal Emperor declared loudly, then raised his aura to its peak!
He was even deceiving himself!
The Jiang family? First, test their depths.
Third Ancestor's face instantly turned grim. This guy was really preparing to move against the Jiang family?
"Activate the protective clan formation immediately!"
But just as he was about to give the order, suddenly, a sword light streaked across the distant horizon!
"Swish—"
The sword light seemed to sever time and space, carrying an aura that could cut through all Dao techniques. It directly struck the Heaven's Vault Immortal Emperor's immortal body, sending blood spraying in all directions!
One of the Heaven's Vault Immortal Emperor's arms was instantly severed!
"Who!"
Even the Jiang family ancestors were stunned. They were preparing for a desperate fight, and now a sudden change occurred?
A figure riding a white crane had appeared at some unknown time. The youth on the crane had white cloth wrapped around his eyes—the Supreme Purity Sword Immortal!
"Supreme Purity Sword Immortal!" The Heaven's Vault Immortal Emperor frowned, clutching his severed arm.
Logically, one could achieve regeneration from a drop of blood at the Martial God stage, but this severed arm of his could not regenerate. The power of a Great Dao!
"Hehe, acting on someone's request. The Jiang family... you cannot touch them."
Chen Taiqing gave a sheepish smile, but his imposing aura brooked no doubt.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
