Sigh—
Empress Jialan let out a long sigh. She understood now... Ling'er already knew everything.
Before this, she had actually been very conflicted. If she didn't confess to Ling'er... the Merman Immortal Mirror couldn't be brought out into the public eye, and the bloodlines of the Jialan clan members couldn't be upgraded. After thinking it over again and again... she finally chose to compromise.
"The Merman Immortal Mirror is the supreme divine artifact of our Merman clan. It only needs to reflect you once to complete a bloodline breakthrough!"
Jia Mengluo held the Merman Immortal Mirror high in her hand.
Countless gazes from the Merman clan focused on it, every pair of eyes filled with fanaticism!
"Of course, next I will select a few geniuses of the Merman clan to perform a live demonstration."
Empress Jialan already held extremely high prestige within the entire Jialan clan. Now that she had brought out the Merman Immortal Mirror, the tens of millions of Jialan descendants at the scene were completely boiling with excitement.
"Jia Tengying, step forward," Jia Mengluo called out a Jialan clan elder.
"Your Majesty!" A middle-aged merman walked out, his eyes carrying a look of wild joy.
Jia Tengying had a cultivation at the Second-life Emperor Realm. He was a top-tier expert in the entire Jialan clan, but his bloodline was simply too low. His cultivation was completely locked by his bloodline; no matter how hard he tried, it would ultimately be to no avail.
But right now, he saw hope!
Jia Mengluo's expression was indifferent as she slowly aimed the Merman Immortal Mirror in her hand at Jia Tengying. Following that, unparalleled seven-colored radiance instantly burst from the mirror's surface, enveloping the man in its light.
Hiss—
Instantly, Jia Tengying felt the bloodline in his body begin to boil. His divine sense fell into a deep trance, as if he saw the summons of the ancient Merman Immortal God Clan.
Jia Mengluo knitted her beautiful brows. She felt that this Merman Immortal Mirror was a bit strange. After all, she had never used this item before, making this guy effectively a guinea pig.
After a brief moment, the changes on Jia Tengying's body faded. The bloodline within him had received a massive enhancement, even reaching the level of Imperial Blood.
"This—" Jia Tengying's gaze was extremely shocked. With both surprise and joy, he felt the majestic bloodline within his body.
It was the Imperial Blood he had dreamed of!!!
He even felt that his cultivation, which had been bottlenecked for thousands of years, had significantly improved, touching the threshold of the Third-life Emperor Realm.
"Your Majesty!"
Countless Jialan clan members looked at Jia Tengying. Bloodline suppression could not be faked. They could clearly feel that the bloodline in this guy's body had upgraded from the peak of Mortal Blood to Imperial Blood. His bloodline suppression was even higher than Her Majesty's used to be.
It was just that Her Majesty's current bloodline had long since been upgraded. They couldn't even sense what level her bloodline had reached, but without a doubt... it far exceeded their imaginations.
"Mhm~~~" Jia Mengluo nodded in satisfaction.
This Merman Immortal Mirror was truly terrifying. Just a single reflection could purify a bloodline. Now that Jia Tengying's bloodline had been upgraded, he would break through to the Third-life Emperor Realm in a few years at most. A century later, the Jialan clan would gain another Half-Immortal expert.
Although their Jialan clan had now become a top-tier faction in the entire Southern Ming Sea relying on Jiang Che, their own strength was lacking... Even if they clung to Jiang Che's thigh, they would only be secretly mocked.
"Your Majesty!!! With this divine artifact, our Merman clan will definitely recreate the glory of the Merman Immortals from the ancient era!"
"Your Majesty, this old minister has been stuck at the peak of the Third-life Emperor Realm. I request a breakthrough..."
"If my bloodline is upgraded, I will have no regrets even if I die."
With Jia Tengying acting as the first person to test the waters, countless mermen began to itch for a try.
Jia Mengluo's delicate brows slightly furrowed as she glanced at the Merman Immortal Mirror in her hand.
After purifying Jia Tengying's bloodline just now, it seemed to have consumed some energy, but this energy also appeared to be slowly recovering.
"As expected? It can't be used infinitely." Jia Mengluo sighed. If the Merman Immortal Mirror could be used infinitely, she would only need to let the mirror's light shine over every Jialan clan member, completing the bloodline upgrade for everyone. That way... the Jialan clan would quickly become the absolute top faction in the Nine Heavens.
But looking at it now... for the time being, she could only select clan members with higher cultivation for bloodline breakthroughs.
"Although the Merman Immortal Mirror is strong, it cannot be used without limits. It can only provide bloodline breakthroughs for one hundred clan members per day. For now, let those with higher cultivation break through first. Once our overall strength increases, we will enhance the ordinary clan members."
Jia Mengluo spoke up; this was also a helpless move.
The Jialan clan had at least several trillion members. Obviously, bloodline upgrades were destined to elude 99.999% of the clan.
Afterward, Jia Mengluo used the Merman Immortal Mirror to complete bloodline upgrades for all the Jialan clan elders with Great Emperor level cultivation, including the vast majority of clan members whose cultivation was stuck at the Tenth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
...
Phew—
After the Immortal Ascension Assembly ended, Jia Mengluo put away the Merman Immortal Mirror and let out a long sigh.
She ultimately still had to face her daughter. Every step she took seemed extremely agonizing.
However, she didn't expect that Jia Ling'er would actually take the initiative to come find her?
"Mother, mother! You were absolutely amazing just now!" Jia Ling'er trotted over to Jia Mengluo.
The young girl's attitude greatly surprised Jia Mengluo. Shouldn't she... be questioning her?
"Can I take a look at the Merman Immortal Mirror? Let's see if it can upgrade my bloodline," Jia Ling'er giggled.
Jia Mengluo fell silent, then sighed. "Ling'er, your bloodline has already reached the Atavism level. According to my calculations... this Merman Immortal Mirror can at most break through the Imperial Blood limit via reflection. It shouldn't be of any use to you."
"Daughter, I know what you want to say—"
Jia Mengluo took the initiative to speak. "You guessed right. This Merman Immortal Mirror was given to me by Young Master Jiang."
Of course Jia Ling'er knew it was given by Jiang Che, otherwise could you have just picked it up somewhere? She wouldn't believe that!
"I know! Husband definitely gave Mother such a divine artifact on my account. I just knew Husband loves me the most." Jia Ling'er acted a little cheeky, teasing Jia Mengluo.
Jia Mengluo's body trembled, clearly not expecting Jia Ling'er to say this.
"I... I..." She originally wanted to nod and agree, but after looking at Ling'er's clear eyes, she decided to tell the truth!
"Ling'er... I'm actually not as good as you imagine. I... I have already submitted to Young Master Jiang."
"That's right, our entire clan has submitted to Husband. When one person attains the Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."
"No... that's not it, it's me! I... I chose to become Jiang Che's woman, which is why... why I have this immortal artifact!"
[Beep! The host has set up Jia Mengluo, gaining 1 billion points.]
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
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?!
