The Supreme Dao Origin Resides Within Me

It was clear that Yaoyao was not as well-behaved and innocent as imagined; instead, she gave off the vibe of a seasoned "green tea" girl.

Naturally, Yaoyao's little schemes couldn't hide from Jiang Che, but Jiang Che didn't mind at all.

He wasn't afraid of you being a "green tea"; he was afraid you wouldn't be!

After all, no matter how "green tea" she was, all she wanted was his affection. What bad intentions could a soft, cute, sweet girl possibly have?

Jiang Che picked three Immortal Peaches of Longevity from Yaoyao. The girl was even a bit reluctant to part with them, but to make it up to her... Jiang Che still watered this little peach demon with a sufficient amount of Immortal-grade Spiritual Spring.

Ahem, a proper Immortal-grade Spiritual Spring!

A few days later, a few small, green peaches, brimming with immortal aura, grew again on the branches of the Longevity Peach Tree.

After Jiang Che left, the innocent expression instantly vanished from Yaoyao's face, replaced by arrogance and haughtiness.

Yaoyao put her hands on her hips and surveyed the other three immortal herbs in the medicine garden.

The three immortal herbs—Yellow Spring Flower, Samsara Tree, and Phoenix Tree Branch—immediately shrank back in fear. Obviously... they had already been terrified by this young lady.

"Hey, hey, hey, move aside quickly... Are you even worthy of occupying this immortal soil?"

"Stupid tree, your roots have crossed the boundary! Be careful, or I'll chop them off. The three of you, one small piece of immortal soil each is enough!"

Yaoyao directly transformed into a little demoness, the absolute boss of the entire immortal herb garden!

The immortal soil in the garden covered at least over 300 square meters, which should have been enough for three immortal herbs in principle, but Yaoyao alone occupied 95% of it.

The other three immortal herbs each had less than 3 square meters on average.

"Sister Yaoyao, please spare us. Our master just gave me a task to produce 100 Samsara Fruits within a year. This little bit of immortal soil is simply not enough; I might have to exhaust my own immortal herb essence..."

The Samsara Tree wailed.

Wasn't this bullying honest folks?

When Jiang Che was around, they were bullied by Jiang Che. After Jiang Che left... this little demoness showed her true colors, exploiting them in every way.

Yaoyao, sitting on a peach tree branch swinging her little feet and stroking her chin, said, "That makes some sense... but it's none of my business. Figure it out yourself!"

The Yellow Spring Flower swayed its remaining six petals.

"Sister Yaoyao, I can also transform into a little flower fairy. Then we can go compete for favor together!"

The Yellow Spring Flower's words left the Samsara Tree and the Phoenix Tree Branch dumbfounded. Could they really do that?

They had never transformed before. For millions of years, they had been dormant in the Dragon Clan's treasury, and they didn't even have a concept of gender... They only possessed vague intelligence. To put it bluntly... their personalities were like blank slates.

"That's right! So what if you're just a little peach demon? At most, we'll form a 'Flowers, Grasses, Trees' group and compete with you for favor!" The Myriad Phoenix Tree Branch waved its branches. Its voice had somehow changed into a cute, milky, loli tone, obviously learned from Yaoyao.

"Flowers, Grasses, Trees? I'm the flower, the Samsara Tree is the tree, you can barely count as 'wood,' but where's the 'grass'?" The Yellow Spring Flower asked, puzzled, its voice also shifting from neutral to a maiden's tone.

"Ah-la-la~ Don't worry about that!" The Phoenix Tree Branch looked at Yaoyao, a hint of provocation in its eyes.

"You!!! You all! This is rebellion, rebellion!" Yaoyao was furious, almost stomping her feet in anger.

"Alright, alright! I'll give way, okay? We'll split the immortal soil equally among the four of us!" Yaoyao was actually quite scared. After all, if these three really transformed, her future would be tough.

"Hmph! Too late!" The Yellow Spring Flower sneered, then transformed with a shake... becoming an elegant flower fairy.

A beautiful, ethereal silhouette also vaguely appeared on the branches of the Samsara Tree... though very illusory, one could tell it was an absolutely stunning figure, giving off a "Your girlfriend is generating..." kind of vibe.

"You!!! You all!!!" Yaoyao panicked. Were they for real???

"Hehe, you little peach demon. We all saw the tricks you used to seduce our master earlier. Just you wait... next time the master comes, we'll definitely steal all his favor from you!"

Yaoyao: (╯°□°）╯︵┻━┻

......

On the other side, Jiang Che was completely unaware that he was about to gain three more little "wives." He was currently preparing to take these immortal herb fruits to offer them to the old men of the Jiang Family.

After all, the Immortal Ancestors were high-quality leeks that could be sustainably harvested; he really shouldn't let them wither and die.

"Jiang Che! What is this???"

Jiang Hong looked bewildered at the immortal fruits Jiang Che had transmitted over.

To be honest, when he saw these things, it was absolutely impossible not to feel greedy.

As a Great Emperor-level powerhouse who had lived a second life, he had the discernment.

"Oh, these are specially prepared by me for the Immortal Ancestors. I might have caused some trouble for the Jiang Family recently!" Jiang Che said seriously.

"Hehe, no trouble at all! How could this be considered trouble?"

Suddenly, an old man appeared behind Jiang Hong. The old man moved swiftly, picking up a Longevity Immortal Peach and stuffing it into his mouth.

A peach as big as a human face—this old codger finished it in three bites, even letting out a burp after eating his fill.

"Who dares to be so presumptuous? Oh... Seventh Ancestor? You're here?" Seeing the person behind him, Jiang Hong's initial anger instantly dissipated.

"This immortal peach... hehe, I've been craving it for so long," the old man said with a lecherous smile. As an Immortal, his lifespan was also running low, but this one peach directly added ten thousand years to his life.

Before long, the other Immortals also arrived one after another.

"Yellow Spring Flower petals? Six Paths Samsara Fruit? Phoenix Tree Branch? These... these three types of immortal herbs? Jiang Che, you didn't dig up the immortal herb garden of the Ancient Heavenly Court, did you?"

One Ancestor exclaimed in shock, swallowing hard.

In all the Nine Heavens, aside from the Destiny Bearer Association, no force could produce so many immortal herbs at once. Only the legendary immortal herb garden of the Ancient Heavenly Court...

Jiang Che smiled brightly. He loved seeing these old codgers stunned and speechless.

"By the way, Jiang Che, I have something... I wonder if I should ask?" Third Ancestor Jiang Lan stepped forward, his eyes filled with doubt.

"Third Ancestor, be careful with your words!" Another Immortal already knew what Jiang Lan wanted to ask and reminded him.

Jiang Che shrugged. "Ancestors, there's no need to worry. I am neither an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao nor the Demon Ancestor, though I probably have some connection to the Demon Ancestor... It's possible I am truly his reincarnation, but... the Demon Ancestor is me, yet I am not the Demon Ancestor!"

Hearing Jiang Che's words, Third Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jiang Che, we know your capabilities are formidable, and you likely have many contingencies in place now. But you still must be extremely careful. You are already being watched by many Immortal Emperors. Some want to protect you, others want to kill you..."

After speaking, Third Ancestor deliberately glanced at Jiang Che's expression, finding him completely unflustered, which made him feel even more reassured.

"By the way, Jiang Che... you've also offended the Vast Heaven Immortal Palace. The Vast Heaven Immortal Emperor might make a move against you... though he probably hasn't succeeded in merging with the Dao yet!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che laughed. "He shouldn't have—he definitely did not succeed in merging with the Dao!"

Hearing Jiang Che's firm tone, the Third Ancestor was taken aback. "Why are you so certain?"

"Because the origin of the Supreme Dao is right here with me!!!"
