The Jialan tribe. Countless members of the Jialan tribe looked at Jia Mengluo with eyes full of anticipation and excitement.
"Her Majesty the Empress!!!"
Although they were merely Jialan tribesmen with ordinary bloodlines, they were still filled with fanatical devotion for the Jialan Empress.
To the entire Jialan tribe, Jia Mengluo was like the sun. The Empress's grace could never be fully repaid.
Meanwhile, inside a soft palanquin somewhere, a blonde girl with an incredibly beautiful figure leaned against the couch, resting her cheek on one hand. She tasted an immortal fruit in her hand, gazing disdainfully at the figure who was the center of everyone's attention.
Jia Ling'er licked her thin lips. Oh, her dear mother...
She always felt that something about her mother had changed. She had even speculated... that her mother might have already become Jiang Che's woman, but she had never asked Jiang Che about it.
Therefore, she often carried out secret surprise inspections, such as occasionally tailing her mother to see what she was doing.
With Jiang Che's system items, she could completely conceal herself. Even her mother, who had the cultivation of an immortal, couldn't detect anything amiss.
"Something's wrong, something is incredibly wrong."
Jia Ling'er narrowed her eyes.
Her mother's cultivation speed had recently skyrocketed like a damn rocket. In just two or three years, she had leaped from the Quasi-Immortal realm to become a Second Tribulation Immortal. Even her bloodline had undergone some sort of upgrade. Her mother publicly claimed that she had found a certain serendipity in the Jialan ancestral land, thereby breaking through her bloodline shackles. But thinking about it carefully... that was completely impossible.
In her knowledge, there was only one person who could crazily elevate someone's cultivation in such a short period of time, and that was Jiang Che!
Thus, Jia Ling'er was one hundred percent certain that her mother absolutely had some unspeakable secret with Jiang Che in private. However, Jia Mengluo hid it too well. She had searched for a long time but still hadn't found any direct evidence of an affair between her and Jiang Che.
"Oh, Mother, it's not like I'd be jealous of you, so why hide it so well? You're even guarding against your own daughter?"
Jia Ling'er stuffed an immortal fruit into her mouth and started chewing, pouting her small lips. She hadn't been in a very good mood lately because she hadn't gotten pregnant with Jiang Che's child. Even that little mermaid Xue'er had gotten pregnant, yet she hadn't?!!!
The fact that the status of the once unfavored little mermaid had directly soared made her feel very displeased.
But soon, Jia Mengluo's words made her eyes light up!
...
"Everyone, the bloodline of our Jialan tribe was once cursed by our Immortal Ancestor. The vast majority of Jialan descendants cannot even reach the Royal Bloodline."
"But now, I have found the inheritance of the Merfolk Ancestral Land and obtained a supreme treasure that can allow all of our Jialan descendants to complete a bloodline transformation!"
The moment Jia Mengluo spoke, the entire Jialan tribe erupted into a frenzy.
Even many of the Jialan elders began whispering to each other, completely in disbelief!
The Jialan bloodline could actually transform? If that were the case... wouldn't everyone be able to possess the Royal Bloodline?
The Jialan tribe inherited the bloodline of the ancient Merfolk Immortals, making bloodline incredibly important to them. If your bloodline purity was high... cultivation would be easy. If your bloodline purity was low, even if you tried your hardest, you would never be able to break through your limits.
"Is this true?"
"This old man's comprehension is unparalleled. If not for the bloodline restrictions... I'm afraid I would have broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm long ago!" an old man with a grizzled beard said excitedly.
"Old man, I feel like your Spirit Communication stage cultivation has very little to do with the quality of your bloodline."
In the Jialan tribe, many members attributed their low cultivation to their bloodline. In fact, it wasn't just the Jialan tribe... many monster races were like this too; if their cultivation was lacking, they blamed their bloodline.
"Really? Will we also have a day to break through to the Emperor realm?"
"Her Majesty the Empress's words carry enormous weight. Why would she deceive us?"
At this moment, seeing the many Jialan descendants so excited, the Jialan Empress's heart couldn't help but tremble.
She then slowly took out an ancient and profoundly mysterious-looking mirror.
The mirror seemed to be made of many colorful scales.
But the moment this item was brought out, it instantly attracted the gazes of all the Jialan merfolk.
The terrifying suppression of bloodlines!
A divine artifact!
It was absolutely a divine artifact!
[Merfolk Immortal Mirror]
The Merfolk Immortal Mirror that Jiang Che had just given to Jia Mengluo a few days ago was now being brought out by her.
One must know that the aura of the Merfolk Immortal Ancestor emitted by the Merfolk Immortal Mirror would cause even Jia Mengluo to feel fear, let alone these merfolk with mixed bloodlines.
Every single one of them was just short of falling to their knees in worship.
"This item is called the Merfolk Immortal Mirror. It is a supreme treasure I recovered from the Merfolk Ancestral Land. Any merfolk descendant illuminated by the Merfolk Immortal Mirror can obtain a bloodline enhancement..."
To be honest, Jia Mengluo originally hadn't wanted to take out the Merfolk Immortal Mirror.
Not because she was selfish, but because of Jia Ling'er.
She knew very well that once she took out the Merfolk Immortal Mirror, it would be equivalent to laying her cards directly on the table with Ling'er!
I stole your man, I stole my own daughter's man, I am a shameless woman!
A sudden surge in cultivation could be explained as an epiphany, and a bloodline enhancement could also be explained away. But this Merfolk Immortal Mirror really couldn't be explained. She could deceive the rest of the tribe, but she couldn't deceive Jia Ling'er, who stayed by Jiang Che's side all day long.
Could Jia Ling'er possibly not know Jiang Che's capabilities?
At the same time, Jia Mengluo's gaze glanced toward the soft palanquin where Jia Ling'er was. Her eyes held a trace of apology. Although separated by the palanquin... the divine senses of the mother and daughter still touched for a brief moment.
"Heh—"
Jia Ling'er licked the corner of her lips, her eyes unable to hide her excitement.
The young girl opened her shared system and casually searched through the system's shop.
[Merfolk Immortal Mirror: A Half-step Dao Artifact-level magical item. Woven from the heart-protecting scales gathered from the Ten Great Progenitor Merfolk Immortals, it can help all descendants of the Merfolk bloodline break through their bloodline shackles...]
[Price: 8 billion points]
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems you really dote on my Queen Mother," Jia Ling'er chuckled softly. This was eight billion points! Jiang Che had never even spent that many points on her, yet her own mother received such treatment. To say she wasn't jealous would definitely be a lie.
"Mhm... I just wonder what kind of price you paid, Mother? Given Jiang Che's personality... I'm afraid you've already..."
The thought of her mother, such an aloof and high-and-mighty Empress, having to stay obediently by Jiang Che's side like a maidservant made her want to laugh.
"But Mother, it's not like I'd be jealous of you, so why are you avoiding me like this?" Jia Ling'er murmured coquettishly, playing with the tips of her hair.
Before meeting Jiang Che, Jia Mengluo had always been the most perfect mother in her heart. But after meeting Jiang Che, she discovered... that her mother wasn't an invincible existence after all. Even she had moments where she was completely helpless.
The Jialan Clan controlled dozens of domains across the Nanming Sea, leading her childhood self to believe that her family's territory was vast and invincible. In reality, however, the Nine Heavens contained over ten million domains. Their Jialan Clan was nothing more than a second-rate faction, without even a single Immortal among their ranks.
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!
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?!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
