Traveler, President of the Destiny's Chosen Association

Heavenly Destiny Association, Taiqing Sect.

"I am doomed! I am absolutely doomed! The Heavens want to end my life!!!"

A gray-robed young man fell to his knees with a thud, looking utterly terrified.

Although his eyes were blindfolded by a tattered white cloth, one could still feel his intense fear.

"How can I possibly bear this overwhelming karma!!!"

The young man looked like he was both crying and laughing, his mental state seemingly quite excellent.

"Be... be his master? Who the fuck spread this rumor!!!"

Obviously, this person was none other than the corporate slave, the Taiqing Sword Immortal, Chen Taiqing.

It was just that this Taiqing Sword Immortal was having a mental breakdown right now. He had inexplicably become Jiang Che's master???

This was a fucking disaster!

What right or ability did he have to be that person's master?

The crucial point was that he could not even step forward to deny it. If he did, would that not be equivalent to slapping Jiang Che in the face?

Then he would be even more screwed.

Although he was a Supreme Immortal Emperor who had merged with a Great Dao Origin, and Supreme Immortal Emperors were said to be immortal and indestructible—as long as the Great Dao remained, they would never perish.

But just because it was said like that did not mean they truly could not die!

He had lived long enough, from the Ancient Era all the way to the Ancient Heavenly Court Era, witnessing the annihilation of the Ancient Heavenly Court. He had once seen with his own eyes the high and mighty Ancestral Dragon Immortal Emperor, who had merged with a Supreme Dao Origin and tried to challenge the Heavenly Emperor, only to be suppressed and killed with a single palm strike!

And the means of the Demon Ancestor back then were no less formidable than the Heavenly Emperor's!

Even among Supreme Immortal Emperors, there were disparities!

For example, could someone who merged with a lower-tier Great Dao Origin compare to someone with an upper-tier one?

By the same logic, the Sword Dao Origin he had merged with was merely a second-rate Great Dao ranked 29th. If he ever encountered Dao-Merging Immortal Emperors of the Chaos, Destiny, or Space-Time level, he would inevitably be reduced to nothing more than a stray dog by the side of the road.

"Oh? Taiqing... you look very worried!"

Suddenly, a voice entered his ears, and Chen Taiqing instantly shuddered.

He excitedly turned his head, only to see a short child suddenly appearing behind him—it was a young boy!

He looked about six or seven years old, barefoot, and resembled a delicate porcelain doll. Yet, his gaze revealed an indescribable profundity.

"Pres... President? Why are you here!"

Chen Taiqing shivered again, his attitude instantly becoming extremely respectful.

President!

The child before him was actually the President of the Heavenly Destiny Association.

"Nothing much... I just woke up and came to take a look," the child yawned.

"President, recently there is a person..."

"I know him, Jiang Che..." The child waved his hand. "You do not need to provoke him. Someone like him is born perfect, devoid of any hardships or tribulations. He is a Perfect Dao Fruit nurtured within an epoch."

"Perfect Dao Fruit?" Chen Taiqing seemed to have heard something unbelievable. Was Jiang Che not the reincarnation of the Demon Ancestor?

Although he had never heard of what a Perfect Dao Fruit was, since it was a Dao Fruit... then naturally, it was an existence meant to be plucked by others.

But who would dare pluck a Dao Fruit like Jiang Che?

The child seemed to see through Chen Taiqing's thoughts. "No one dares to touch a Perfect Dao Fruit. Even if you crossed through space-time to travel back to the past, back to when Jiang Che was young, it would be impossible for you to kill him. Instead, you yourself would perish."

"There would be numerous interfering factors to ensure the absolute flawlessness of the Dao Fruit."

Hearing this, the corner of Chen Taiqing's mouth twitched. "President, how could there be such an unsolvable person?"

A Perfect Dao Fruit, smooth sailing throughout his entire life—this was completely different from the Sons of Destiny in those storybooks.

He was truly unsolvable, a conceptual-level existence who would never suffer any setbacks...

What a terrifying concept?

Even if he were just an ordinary mortal pointing at an Immortal Emperor's nose and cursing him, the Immortal Emperor would not dare to be angry, let alone speak out against him.

Who would dare get angry? Did they have a death wish?

"It is quite normal. Those travelers wandering outside of time, those blissful fanatics who dictate everything, have always been like this."

The child inexplicably uttered a very bizarre sentence.

"Hehe... do you not think it is strange?" The child laughed. "Those prodigies who shout all day about cultivating to defy the heavens and call themselves men of destiny—even if they cultivate to become Immortal Emperors, Ancestral Gods, Sovereigns, or the utmost top existences of other worlds, when they finally want to merge with the Dao, they still need their permission."

Chen Taiqing remained silent, because he knew very well where his Sword Dao Origin came from.

"So, Xiao Chen!" The child walked up to Chen Taiqing and patted his thigh.

"Pres... President?"

"Why do you not quickly seize such a good opportunity? Cling to his thigh, Xiao Chen... Oh wait, you have already clung onto it."

Chen Taiqing blinked twice. "But I invisibly felt a terrifying karma capable of crushing me to pieces. I cannot handle this level of karma."

"Xiao Chen, you can handle it! You must know... the greater the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish!"

Chen Taiqing gulped. "President, since you say Jiang Che is so amazing, why... why do you not cling to his thigh?"

Hearing this, the child looked up with an eerie smile. "How do you know I have not placed my bets and invested? Do not worry... I placed my bet far earlier than you did, earlier than anyone else, in fact. You have no idea how many people have been secretly investing in this Perfect Dao Fruit, Jiang Che!"

......

The Jiang Family.

"Patriarchs, I wonder if you recognize this item?"

Jiang Che had no idea that after 'Incarnation of the Heavenly Dao', 'Son of the Great Dao', 'Reincarnation of the Demon Ancestor', and 'Disciple of a Supreme Immortal Emperor', he had gained yet another nickname: 'Perfect Dao Fruit'.

At this moment, he directly pulled out from his pants an incomparably massive... Alchemy Blast Furnace!!!

It was fully tens of meters tall, entirely transparent and shining, covered in display screens, and exuded a strong sci-fi, high-tech vibe.

"An Alchemy Blast Furnace?" an Immortal Patriarch asked in astonishment.

Of course, they were no strangers to this item.

The Alchemy Blast Furnace!

A supreme treasure invented by the Heavenly Destiny Association. It had almost completely replaced low-tier alchemists, vastly increased the supply of medicinal pills across the Nine Heavens, and ruthlessly driven down the prices of pills.

But something like the Alchemy Blast Furnace was considered extremely precious, even to the Heavenly Destiny Association!

"This is different from ordinary Alchemy Blast Furnaces. This furnace only refines one type of pill: the Peerless Life-Extension Pill!"

"The Peerless Life-Extension Pill??? It is... it is refined using an Alchemy Blast Furnace???"

Even the Immortals were left numb. A Peerless Life-Extension Pill... could be refined using an Alchemy Blast Furnace?

They had considered many possibilities. After all, the Peerless Life-Extension Pill was a supreme taboo pill of the Nine Heavens. If Jiang Che's master had refined it... a Supreme Immortal Emperor refining a taboo pill was perfectly reasonable.

But... but now it seemed that was not the case at all?

"Of course!" Jiang Che snapped his fingers.

"But the medicinal ingredients for refining it must be incredibly precious, right? They probably start at the level of Divine Herbs, and the Jiang Family does not have that many Divine Herbs."

"Who said anything about needing divine herbs? We don't need a damn thing! All we need are spirit stones to power it! A Supreme Longevity Pill draws upon the power of Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth. You don't need to put a single thing inside the alchemy furnace... By using Heaven and Earth as the crucible to refine the void itself, only then will the pill be formed!"

"????"
