In the Peach Garden Grotto-heaven.
Jiang Ye unhurriedly kicked a small stone at his feet, a chilling glint flashing in his golden eyes. He slightly tilted his head, resting his chin in his hand as he gazed into the distance.
He pondered for a long time.
“I’ll ask my mother for her opinion later.”
“I heard… the Ancient Immortal Domain recently gave birth to quite a few innate immortal liquids. I’ll send someone to spread this news to every corner of the Heavens in a bit.”
Su Qingmeng’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she deeply agreed.
innate immortal liquid had long since vanished in a great tribulation during the ancient era.
If the Jiang Clan’s intelligence network spread this news, the Various Great Dao Lineages would undoubtedly flock to it.
Even if they knew the news was false, they would still send people to investigate.
Repeated secret probes would be like a sword hanging over their heads.
A thorn in their side!
The Ancient Immortal Domain wouldn't be able to bear it.
You Sha was sweating profusely; this was directly playing dirty. He wasn't playing chess with you, but directly slamming the chessboard on the opponent's head.
He had seen countless Prodigies, but never one who acted like Jiang Ye.
You Sha could tell from the Lin Chen incident.
Being a Prodigy in talent wasn't much; the key was his way of thinking and acting. Even with such a massive background, he showed no arrogance and was pragmatic.
A lion uses its full strength even against a rabbit, giving no chance at all.
Such a person would be very difficult to fall midway.
“Ye'er, go ahead and do it. Although this matter is significant, Cloud Top Academy and the Su Family will both stand on your side. The Ancient Immortal Domain is just a barren land; it won't stir up any waves.”
Su Qingmeng fully supported Jiang Ye’s decision.
Jiang Ye nodded and chatted with her for a while longer.
Afterward, he asked You Sha for the Hidden Killers Pavilion’s power distribution map and quickly left… On the Dao Discussion Platform.
With the Lin Chen incident concluded, the Ascension Road reopened.
The Dao Discussion Assembly had only been open for a month, and the Ascension Road had taken up most of that time.
Each person was limited to ascending once, with a time limit of five days.
If they still couldn't reach the summit, they would be forcibly removed, otherwise, it would damage the Cultivator’s Origin, and their highest floor reached would be recorded.
Jiang Ye returned to the pavilion stands and began to make arrangements.
He first sent a message to Su Hongye using a communication stone.
Not long after, he received his mother’s reply.
“Go ahead and do it. Whatever happens, I’ll solve it for you! At worst, we’ll destroy the Western Buddhist Kingdom and the Ancient Immortal Domain!”
Jiang Ye’s heart warmed.
His mother had always been like this.
Since childhood, his requests were always fulfilled without reservation.
No matter what he asked for.
Regardless of whether it was appropriate or not.
Su Hongye always treated it as a matter of course, indulging his every whim and never setting limits.
It could be said she spoiled him to the extreme.
“If it were an ordinary person, they’d probably get their old mother into a lot of trouble, right?”
Jiang Ye smiled helplessly, shaking his head with a sigh.
That’s how villainous families were: ruthless and unfeeling externally, but harmonious and lively internally.
After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Ye summoned Jiang Yi.
“Jiang Yi.”
The burly man stepped out from a Void Realm crack.
Jiang Ye didn’t waste words, directly handing him a division map.
“Send three Quasi-Emperors and eight Supremes from the Clan, mobilize all Cultivators of the Tiangang Immortal Palace, and completely wipe out the Hidden Killers Pavilion…”
“Additionally, have the Disha Immortal Palace release a piece of news…”
As Jiang Ye issued his commands, Jiang Yi nodded and disappeared from the spot.
The Tiangang Immortal Palace was composed of powerful Cultivators within the Jiang Clan, primarily to suppress external enemies; the Disha Immortal Palace was responsible for covert operations, assassinations, intelligence, infiltration, and other such matters.
Both were direct agencies of the Jiang Clan.
Jiang Ye had no interest in playing mind games with people.
He had always adhered to the principle of acting rather than talking if possible.
If the Ancient Immortal Domain was sensible, a few hundred million immortal materials would suffice.
Tian Yin, a mere Quasi-Emperor, was not someone he took seriously.
As for whether Tian Yin was truly from the Ancient Immortal Domain?
That wasn't important.
What was important was that someone had to take the blame, pay some price, and show people what happened when they offended the Jiang Clan!
If the Ancient Immortal Domain couldn't show some sincerity, then they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.
“Your Highness, the Divine Son, there’s a situation with Lin Chen!”
Jiang Ye was just about to admire the grand spectacle of the Ascension Road when Jiang Er appeared again to report.
At the same time.
The System broadcasted.
【Ding! The Protagonist of Destiny, Lin Chen, has Awakened the Creation Saint Body, reversing his decline, returning to Origin, and repairing his cultivation Origin. His severed right arm has been restored, and his Luck value has increased by 5000 points!】
Jiang Ye was immediately overjoyed.
He hadn't expected it to happen so quickly; as expected of the Protagonist of Destiny.
He immediately said to Jiang Er, “No need to interfere; remove the Restriction and let him go.”
...Dog cage.
Lin Chen was curled up in a half-meter-high, cold iron cage.
He was covered in blood, disheveled, like a dying stray dog.
Inside the cage was a broken bowl containing some dirty water and a small piece of hard, moldy steamed bun.
He gasped continuously, roaring in a low voice, his eyes flickering with flames of hatred,
“Jiang Ye, I, Lin Chen, will one day kill you to avenge myself!”
“Ahhh!! I must kill you!”
Lin Chen’s heart was filled with towering hatred for Jiang Ye, constantly brainwashing himself.
Suddenly.
As if there was a spirit in Heaven.
A long-dormant ancient aura slowly awakened from the depths of his Bloodline, like a Dragon that had been dormant for ten thousand years breaking its seal.
Boom!!
The Meridians in his Physical Body trembled, and his blood seemed to turn into a blazing golden divine fluid, surging through his limbs and bones.
Those broken Origin Laws, under the scour of this power, healed at a visible speed, like shattered stars reassembling, their brilliance reappearing.
“This… this is my Lin Clan’s Ancestral Bloodline! The Creation Saint Body!”
Lin Chen’s heart was shaken, as if waking from a dream.
The Creation Saint Body!
Legend has it that it can absorb the Creation of Heaven and Earth, returning to Origin.
Whether the Physical Body is damaged or the Dao foundation is incomplete, it can be reverse-repaired and returned to Perfection!
At this moment.
His originally broken and crippled cultivation Origin, like spring rain nourishing all things, recovered inch by inch.
Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes, his pupils seemingly containing the light of all things returning to their Origin.
“Hahaha!”
“Indeed, Heaven never seals off all exits!”
Lin Chen slowly stood up.
He stared at the iron cage, his eyes holding no fear, only the fire of revenge.
Boom!
A surge of Spiritual Qi erupted, impacting the cage door. The iron bars snapped, and the cage collapsed with a crash.
“Hahaha, Jiang Ye, you thought I was crippled, so you didn’t even set up a Restriction. You are truly arrogant!”
“You wanted me to live like a dog my whole life, but you miscalculated!”
“And Wang Hongtu, you colluded with the Jiang Clan, harmed my Master, and crippled my cultivation! You truly deserve to die ten thousand times over!”
“Sooner or later, I will make you all pay the price!”
Lin Chen rushed out without hesitation, his steps as swift as lightning.
He had grown up in Cloud Top Academy and knew this area like the back of his hand. As he ran quickly, he cleverly avoided numerous guard checkpoints.
Midway.
Lin Chen’s expression froze, and his steps halted.
He looked up into the distance.
The Ascension Road above the firmament glowed golden and brilliant, as dazzling as the great sun, and an endless yearning immediately arose in his heart.
“Why? Why do I have this feeling again?”
Lin Chen frowned deeply.
Reason told him he should leave here as quickly as possible.
But in the depths of his being.
A strange sensation was pulling him, as if telling him that there was an Opportunity that rightfully belonged to him at the Ascension Road.
“Is my fortune-and-misfortune sensing talent hinting at something?”
Lin Chen’s heart skipped a beat, his face darkened slightly, and he hesitated.
The psychological shadow Jiang Ye had cast upon him was simply too great.
Unlike the Sons of Heaven he had met before, the other party showed no martial virtue, didn't waste any words with him, and directly had Wang Hongtu forcefully suppress him.
This filled him with fear.
After a few breaths.
Lin Chen clenched his fists abruptly, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.
“No, I cannot retreat like this!”
“I have Awakened the Creation Saint Body, with severed limbs regenerating. As long as I change my face, Jiang Ye will definitely not recognize me. I will reach the summit of the Ascension Road right under his nose!”
“At the same time, I’ll use this to change my identity! I still have a chance to become a Dao Son of the Academy!”
Lin Chen roared in his heart, as if he had made some monumental decision!
His thoughts shifted, and he suddenly turned and changed direction, flying away.
