Chapter 96: The Three Thousand Continents Come to Congratulate? Xia Jiuyou is Head Over Heels!

Upon hearing this, Xia Jiuyou’s expression changed, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

“Sigh, give it up~”

“Young Master Lin is someone you’ll never be able to have as your man!”

Li Xiuyuan’s sigh echoed in her mind.

“Shut up! Since when do you get to meddle in my affairs!?”

Xia Jiuyou coldly snapped.

Li Xiuyuan helplessly shook his head and turned to Jin Xuan, who was sitting nearby with his hands clasped together in a serene expression, and transmitted his voice, “Master, look at her, she’s completely smitten, there’s no pulling her back now…”

“Amitabha, it’s understandable that Benefactor Xia feels this way,” Jin Xuan said calmly.

“……”

Li Xiuyuan’s mouth twitched.

Understandable, my ass.

You weren’t saying that before!

In a corner, two elderly men with shoulder-length white hair sat silently, observing everything with indifference.

“Hmph, that scoundrel You Taixu didn’t even inform us about this. Does he think he alone can decide who becomes the Dao Child of the Supreme Hall?”

“Exactly, does he even consider us branch hall masters of the Supreme Hall?”

“But… since it’s already a done deal, we must protect the Dao Child at all costs. We can’t afford any more mistakes.”

“Right, the Three Thousand Continents are in chaos. Look at these forces, all smiling, but who knows if they have good intentions. The Dao Child must not suffer any harm!”

They had been present when Emperor Wu Shi and Lin Ao Tian faced off.

They were shocked at the time.

Their only thought was, who is this child? We must bring him into the Supreme Hall!

Later, when they found out he was their Dao Child, they were all filled with regret.

How did You Taixu get to him first?

But fortunately, You Taixu hadn’t succeeded in taking him as a disciple, which gave them some relief.

After that, they had rushed to the Lin family as soon as Lin Ao Tian left.

They had been sitting here ever since.

Lin Yindao occasionally glanced at the corner, sighing inwardly.

*Sigh~*

Having a descendant who is a young emperor puts a lot of pressure on this old man!

***

“I, Ling Feng, don’t need anyone’s pity!”

The voice was devoid of any emotion, cold as an ice cellar.

Liu Ruyan looked at the young man before her, her heart trembling slightly.

This was the first time she felt Ling Feng was so unfamiliar.

Even as Ling Feng turned and left, she didn’t speak.

Some things can’t be forced; he has his own path.

After Ling Feng completely disappeared, Liu Ruyan sighed softly, “Sigh, I hope you don’t go down the wrong path…”

Her figure then vanished from the spot.

Ling Feng walked away, tears streaming down his face, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.

At that moment, it felt as if the whole world was black in his eyes, and he couldn’t hear a single sound.

His mind was filled with Liu Ruyan’s coldness and the gentleness in her eyes when she mentioned Lin Ao Tian.

He understood that from now on, he and Liu Ruyan were like strangers.

The person he respected the most had now completely severed ties with him because of Lin Ao Tian.

This heartache gradually turned into a deep resentment, slowly solidifying.

Wherever he passed, flowers and grass withered, and the world fell silent.

In the void.

“Who’s there?” Liu Ruyan frowned slightly, her voice cold.

In an instant,

Liu Ruyan’s pupils swirled with endless Dao patterns, piercing through the illusions to the very essence of this space.

The aura of the Great Dao fluctuated around her, three thousand light clusters spinning, with divine kingdoms within them exuding immortal energy.

Immediately, the infinite laws of the universe appeared before her eyes, but after a long time, she couldn’t find anything unusual in this world.

However… that fleeting feeling just now made her certain that someone was watching.

After a long while.

Liu Ruyan frowned and left.

Who knows how much time passed.

Liu Ruyan’s figure reappeared, coldly scanning the void.

At the same time, above the clouds.

The Immortal Realm.

Here, immortal energy swirled, and the sky was filled with radiant light. The immortal liquid, considered a treasure in the Three Thousand Continents, formed lakes here.

An old man in coarse linen clothes stared intently at the chessboard before him, his face as calm as an abyss, with no trace of a cultivator’s aura.

He looked like an ordinary old man.

If it weren’t for his pitch-black eyes, devoid of whites, which were shockingly eerie, one might really think he was just an ordinary old man.

“Interesting… interesting, so there’s a remnant Immortal King hidden in the lower realm… and! This human Sacred Body is about to fall into the devil’s path, tsk tsk, how fascinating!”

“In that case, let me lend you a hand!”

“Hehe…”

***

Ji Family Ancestral Land.

In the void.

Ji Daotian and Ji Bo stepped out.

At this moment, Ji Daotian’s face still held a deep sense of shock.

Ji Bo, on the other hand, was utterly confused and extremely displeased.

“Ancestor, what was that all about?”

“We were right at the Emperor’s doorstep, and you didn’t bring anything?”

“Instead, you mumbled with an old man for a long time, looked at a few pages of ancient books, and didn’t say a word!”

“Weren’t we supposed to dig up the ancestral tomb?”

“Ancestor, you’re a liar!”

At this moment, Ji Daotian had no time to pay attention to Ji Bo. His mind was still reeling from the information he had just received from the Ji family’s Fifth Ancestor, who was already in a semi-meditative state.

However, after countless emperors’ deductions, it was likely that reincarnation didn’t exist in this world!

The first generation of Azure Heaven Tyrant Blood, Emperor Xiang, was a follower of Lin Zheng!

And the reason Ji Bo could see those visions was most likely because Lin Ao Tian’s bloodline was infinitely close to that of the emperor who founded the Great Lin Immortal Dynasty.

If explained this way, Ji Bo’s desire to submit to Lin Ao Tian made sense, and it was almost as he had guessed.

After all, if Lin Zheng were truly reincarnated, it would be terrifying.

What shocked him was that the first generation Tyrant Body was actually a follower of the Lin family’s ancestor.

A being who could be considered invincible even in the Immortal Realm was a follower!

He hadn’t known any of this before.

After all, if it weren’t for Ji Bo, he wouldn’t have entered the ancestral land to disturb the Fifth Ancestor.

“Ancestor…” Ji Bo called out softly.

Ji Daotian snapped out of his thoughts, looking at him with a contemplative gaze.

After a moment of silence, he spoke, “Stop digging up the ancestral tomb, just give him our Ji family’s Void Scripture…”

“Uh… well…”

Ji Bo hesitated, feeling a bit embarrassed, “I’ve already given it to him!”

Ji Daotian: “…”

You really are generous.

An emperor’s scripture, and you just gave it away like that?

And you seem to think it’s not enough?

That’s an emperor-level scripture, for heaven’s sake!

This old man is about to die of anger!

But in his heart, he could only sigh helplessly.

“Sigh, forget it, forget it!”

Immediately, a piece of jade suddenly appeared, floating in front of him, exuding an ancient aura, with a faint trace of imperial might.

When Ji Bo saw this stone, his eyes lit up.

Although he didn’t know what it was, it was obviously something valuable!

“This is the Void Stone, inscribed with the complete Void Scripture, and it likely contains remnants of the Void Shattering Emperor’s consciousness. Give it to him…”

“Forget it, I’ll go with you!”

Before Ji Bo could react, he was grabbed and taken through the void.

This was no small matter, and after much thought, Ji Daotian had finally made this decision.

…
