Young Master Jiang's Heart Still Beats for Spring

You're quite the survivor!

"Hehe, I heard you're about to kick the bucket, so I came to say goodbye."

The woman was also very old. Her face no longer showed any trace of Yu Wan'er's formerly adorkable and cute appearance. Moreover, because of her hunched back... she looked even shorter.

"Then I really am about to kick the bucket!" Jiang Che lay on the hospital bed. Although intubated with a ventilator, he looked completely unafraid of death.

"You're quite open-minded about it," Yu Wan'er's aged voice sounded.

"Of course." Jiang Che shakily raised his hand, picked up his phone, and took a picture of Yu Wan'er's aged appearance, intending to show it to the young girl when he got back.

Afterwards, Jiang Che and Yu Wan'er started chatting.

"Hehe... no wonder you don't fear death. So that's how it is? Have you and I already grown old together in another world?"

Yu Wan'er wasn't surprised, just speaking in a calm tone.

"Not just that, there's also Ye Mengyao. I have women in both arms..."

Yu Wan'er sneered. "Women in both arms? Didn't realize you were such a show-off. In this world, you didn't even dare to pursue me and Sister Yaoyao, dying alone... only daring to confess your true feelings on your deathbed. You're destined to be a bachelor in other worlds too."

Jiang Che didn't retort. He just lay quietly on the bed, waiting for death to arrive.

"Jiang Che, let me ask you a question..."

"Ask away, I don't have much time left."

"In that world, are you happy?"

"Extremely happy. Everyone praises me as Young Master Jiang, and all the celestial maidens in the sky want to dress up and 'disarm' for me..."

Jiang Che began to chatter endlessly, bragging about his heroic deeds, but in Yu Wan'er's eyes, he just looked like a madman on the verge of death.

Soon, Jiang Che kicked the bucket and stopped breathing.

At the exact moment Jiang Che's heart stopped beating, the entire world froze.

Then, it began to shatter into pieces.

The illusion shattered!

"System, time to go home!" Jiang Che's soul looked at the fragmented world and called out to his system.

In the decades he spent in the illusion, this was his first time summoning the system. In reality, he only needed to call out once for the system to instantly shatter this ridiculous illusion.

[Beep! What items would the host like to purchase? Your remaining points are 482.9 billion...]

"Nothing much, just buy me a Soul-Calming Pill."

......

"Boring. This is the Immortal Emperor level assessment? I thought I was going to experience a reincarnation of ten thousand lifetimes!"

Jiang Che's soul returned to the real world. Looking at the Heavenly Court Secret Realm and the Little Flying Pig in front of him, he smiled disdainfully.

This is called an Inner Demon Secret Realm?

Who could this possibly trap?

"Young Master Jiang, you... you've already passed the Illusion Heart Tribulation?" the Little Flying Pig asked in disbelief.

As far as it knew, this Illusion Heart Tribulation was the most difficult type of Inner Demon Tribulation. It would plunge a person's mental world deep into reincarnation, making it hard to extricate oneself. You might think you had broken free from the illusion's restraints, only to quickly realize you were still trapped inside it.

But why did Young Master Jiang end the illusion so quickly? And he looked like his mental state was still at its absolute peak!

"Stop with the damn flattery!"

Although Jiang Che had experienced a lifetime of reincarnation in the illusion world, he still hadn't forgotten his current mission.

He was now standing above the Ninety-Ninth Heaven, getting closer and closer to the ice coffin wrapped in the Primal Chaos Green Lotus high up in the sky vault.

Since he was already here, he had to at least take a look at what the Heavenly Emperor's daughter looked like.

If he could abduct her and take her home, that would be even sweeter.

As for what he experienced in the illusion? To Jiang Che, it was nothing more than passing clouds and smoke.

......

Apart from the illusion, Jiang Che successively speed-ran the rest of the trials in the Immortal Emperor Secret Realm.

Finally, he completely speed-cleared the Heavenly Court Secret Realm.

Boom—

The entire secret realm trembled. Deep within the secret realm, a Golden Dragon of Destiny suddenly appeared, flew to Jiang Che's side, hovered for a moment, and finally drilled into his body.

"Congratulations, Young Master Jiang, on gaining the acknowledgment of the Heavenly Court's destiny!" the Little Flying Pig said excitedly.

At this moment, all the treasures of the Ancient Heavenly Court opened their access permissions to him.

In an instant, Jiang Che's divine sense connected with the Heavenly Court Token in his hand.

The Heavenly Court Token now transformed into an imperial seal inlaid with gold and jade. The edge of the seal was entwined by a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, carrying wisps of the Heavenly Emperor's aura, although a tiny chip appeared on one corner of the seal.

Heavenly Emperor Seal!

[Heavenly Emperor Seal: A peerless Dao artifact forged by gathering the destiny of the Immortal Kingdom during the Ancient Heavenly Court era. However, it is currently incomplete, making it a half-step Dao artifact.]

[Contains the will of the Ancient Heavenly Court and the destiny of the Immortal Kingdom...]

A Dao artifact!

Jiang Che's eyes lit up. He weighed the imperial seal in his hand. It sounded like a good item, but it was pretty useless. He, Young Master Jiang, treated people kindly and never fought!

That kind of battle where you trade punches and kicks, immortal artifacts and magic flying everywhere, collapsing galaxies at the drop of a hat—it was too crude!

It was long outdated. It couldn't compare to one of his Fatal Strike Item Cards, which would directly teach you how to behave!

"The Imperial Seal!!!" The Little Flying Pig was instantly ecstatic, flying over and kneeling in front of Jiang Che.

"This old minister, Gao Jue, greets Lord Heavenly Emperor!"

Having obtained the Immortal Kingdom's Imperial Seal, his position as the future Heavenly Emperor was already set in stone.

"Gao Jue? You are Shunfeng'er?"

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes. Legend had it that the original name of Shunfeng'er in the Heavenly Court was Gao Jue. No wonder this guy's ears were so big.

"Your Majesty, you know me?" The Little Flying Pig was thrilled.

However, Jiang Che clearly couldn't be bothered with it. He had now gained control of the entire Heavenly Court Secret Realm.

This massive Ancient Heavenly Court Immortal Palace was also a Dao artifact!

It contained the scenes of the immortal palace from before the collapse of the Ancient Heavenly Court, nurturing a great world within.

And as the Heavenly Emperor, every blade of grass, every tree, every brick, and every tile in this immortal palace was naturally under his control.

His divine sense arrived at the Primal Chaos Green Lotus above the Ninety-Ninth Heaven.

The next moment, Jiang Che's figure vanished into thin air!

...

Dense primal chaos aura filled the air. A green lotus was rooted in the rootless immortal water.

Above the green lotus, a transparent coffin suddenly appeared. Inside the ice coffin lay a figure quietly, eyes gently closed, looking as if she were asleep. As for how beautiful she was?

How should one put it... Young Master Jiang no longer cared about looks, because they were all pretty much the same. The girls around him... their looks were all on the same level, each with her own merits. Only the Immortal Venerable White Fox was far ahead of the pack in a league of her own!

But she didn't win on looks either, rather on charm...

"She looks absolutely incredible, holy crap!"

Even after settling down for a lifetime, Young Master Jiang's cultural refinement still hadn't improved much.

The Little Flying Pig, Shunfeng'er, didn't follow him. It even turned off its clairaudient abilities, making sure not to disturb Lord Heavenly Emperor's good time.
