The Jiang Family.
An Immortal Boat, ten thousand zhang in length, hovered above the Jiang family's airspace. The Immortal Boat was majestic and imposing; crafted from Divine Gold and Immortal Jade, it was shrouded in wisps of primal chaos mist.
Countless members of the Jiang family looked up, gazing at the colossal vessel in the sky with shock and astonishment.
Even the eyes of the Great Emperors and Immortals were filled with envy.
An Immortal Boat of this tier... they didn't dare even dream of it.
Not even Immortals were qualified to possess one!
So why did Jiang Che have it?
Of course... in the eyes of the vast majority of the Jiang family disciples, this boat must have been a gift from their own Ancestor to Jiang Che. Otherwise, how could Jiang Che possibly possess such an Immortal Artifact in the Lower Realm?
"Good heavens! This Immortal Boat..." An Imperial Son of the Jiang family swallowed hard. As an Imperial Son of the Jiang family, what treasures hadn't he seen? He had eaten Immortal Medicines and popped Immortal-grade pills like jelly beans on normal days...
He had never truly envied anyone before, but at this moment... he finally understood what envy felt like.
...
Jiang Che shrank the Immortal Boat tens of thousands of times, reducing it to a mere ten thousand zhang. Otherwise... it would have truly blotted out the sky and the sun.
"We're here already?"
Jiang Che yawned and slowly stood up, shrinking the boat once more to its smallest size—a "pocket edition" of just over a thousand zhang.
"Wow, is this the Nine Heavens? It feels so vast..." The girls followed behind Jiang Che, officially stepping into the Nine Heavens.
The various Ancestors of the Jiang family had been waiting for a long time.
The first to step forward was Old Seven. "My virtuous son-in-law, you arrived quite quickly." The old geezer's gaze swept over the dozen or so Immortals around him. "Son-in-law, you know these old fellows, so I won't bother introducing them."
"By the way, Jiang Che, would you like to take a tour around the Jiang family? As an Ancient Longevity Family, we possess a foundation spanning millions of years..." Another Immortal tried to speak, but Jiang Che raised his hand to interrupt him.
"There's no need for such tedious formalities. Let's just go straight to the wedding ceremony!"
Jiang Che's direct approach instantly silenced the group of Immortals.
"Uh... truly a man of genuine nature..." one Immortal chuckled awkwardly.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with white hair stepped forward, his vitality surging and his cultivation extraordinary. "Young Friend Jiang, since that is the case... let us proceed quickly with the wedding. However, we haven't publicized this event too widely..."
This white-haired Immortal was none other than Jiang Tian, the current Patriarch of the Jiang family. He was an Immortal Lord of the Three Tribulations realm, currently in his prime with abundant life force.
To be honest, these Immortal Ancestors had a terrible headache regarding how to address Jiang Che.
Initially, when they didn't know his identity, they could simply call him a junior. But now... Jiang Che was suspected to be the reincarnation of the Demon Ancestor. Who dared call the Demon Ancestor a junior? Yet, Jiang Che was now marrying their daughter, making the titles even more chaotic.
Aside from Old Seven, who could get away with calling him "virtuous son-in-law", the rest of the Immortals had switched to calling him "Young Friend Jiang".
Jiang Che turned to look at the group of women behind him and smiled. "Patriarch Jiang, please arrange two extra tables for the banquet later."
Only then did the Immortals shift their gaze from Jiang Che to the girls behind him.
Immediately after, they were all dumbfounded.
Wait... why were there so many Immortal Physiques?!
One, two, three, four, five... were they all Immortal Physiques?
Before this, they hadn't seen all of Jiang Che's women. They had only met Shen Yu, the one with the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, who bore the Dao Body Demon Fetus.
But now... their entire worldview and understanding were completely shattered.
"This... this..."
The other Immortals were numb with shock. "Which families' Saintesses and Fairies are these?"
Jiang Che frowned. "What? Can't you arrange two tables?"
Jiang Tian snapped back to reality instantly. "We can, we can! Rest assured!"
Clearly, these beautiful young women were all Jiang Che's partners. The fact that they all possessed Immortal Physiques was obviously due to Jiang Che's methods.
Could it be that Jiang Che used some special technique to bestow Immortal Physiques upon them?
Thinking of it that way... it was rather terrifying.
However, once they remembered Jiang Che's connection to the Demon Ancestor, everything seemed to make sense.
However, Old Seven's brow furrowed tightly, and his heart sank.
[This is bad. Although Yueyue's Five Elements Immortal Spiritual Root is powerful and comparable to an Immortal Physique, with so many Immortal Physiques around Jiang Che...]
Scarcity creates value. He had thought Yueyue's Immortal Spiritual Root's rarity would give her a strong competitive edge beside Jiang Che, but as it turned out...
"Uh... Virtuous son-in-law, would you like to meet Yueyue before the ceremony? After all, you two have never met... I'm afraid that when the time comes..."
"No need!" Jiang Che waved his hand.
The thrill of opening a blind box was the best part, wasn't it?
"Oh... well, I've already prepared the groom's wedding attire for you..."
Saying this, Old Seven clapped his hands. Several maids walked out. Even the maids of the Jiang family were at the Nirvana Realm!
The maids held a luxurious red robe, woven entirely from Immortal Silkworm silk. It was, astonishingly, an Immortal Artifact!
A wedding robe made into an Immortal Artifact.
"This is the first gift from the Jiang family. It is woven from the silk of a Nine-Tribulation Immortal Silkworm and crafted by a Four-Tribulation Artificer Immortal Lord. It is an Immortal Artifact!"
"Of course, with your current horizons, you might not think much of it..."
Jiang Che smiled. How could he look down on something he got for free?
For a free Immortal Artifact... even if it had a hole from a loose thread, he would say it was a stylish rip.
"Mm, many thanks, Ancestor."
Jiang Che took the wedding robe. The very next second... the robe was automatically refined by Jiang Che and appeared on his body.
"Hmm? This Immortal Artifact... is interesting!" Jiang Che instantly understood its functions.
It could withstand all attacks below the Immortal Realm. Even if a hundred Great Emperors attacked him at once, they wouldn't be able to break his defense.
There was another function: transformation. It could change into any style of clothing according to his will.
"Oho? That's actually quite nice!" Jiang Che licked the corner of his lips.
If the girls wore this kind of clothing, wouldn't that mean they could switch outfit styles at will?
To be honest, the consumption of clothing on Jiang Che's side was astronomical. Around him, the girls' clothes were practically disposable items.
"Ancestor... you mentioned this was made from the silk of a Nine-Tribulation Immortal Silkworm... Do you have any more of these clothes? I can buy them wholesale!"
Patriarch Jiang Tian: "..."
Wholesale? Where in the world would you get wholesale quantities of this?
"Young Friend Jiang, how could there be wholesale? Our Jiang family only has one Nine-Tribulation Immortal Silkworm. Moreover, this silkworm is a Guardian Immortal of our Jiang family's forbidden ground. Its output is less than a catty every ten thousand years. Our reserves over all these years were only enough to refine two wedding robes—one for you and one for Yueyue—and the remainder was used to make an Immortal Silkworm bed quilt for you two..."
"Immortal Silkworm Ancestor, right? After Yueyue and I get married, I'll pay him a personal visit." Jiang Che smiled faintly.
What if the Immortal Silkworm Ancestor refused to spin silk? A good beating would fix that!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
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?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
