Many children, many blessings; my family helped me win over the ultimate fairy.

Inside the main hall of the Heavenly Emperor's Palace.

Jiang Yuan leaned lazily against the wide imperial throne carved from ten-thousand-year-old black jade, his black-gold imperial robe casually open, revealing his strong and well-proportioned chest.

He toyed with a jade slip in his hand, a satisfied smile curving his lips.

The jade slip contained the battle report between the Tianyang Great World and the Hanyin Great World.

Ji Qingxuan knelt obediently to the side, her long purple hair cascading down like a waterfall. She held two crystal-clear spiritual fruits and carefully fed them to Jiang Yuan's mouth. Her Ziwei eyes, which could see through the fortunes of others, were filled with tenderness and bewilderment.

"Emperor Yuan, has news of victory arrived from my sister's side?"

"Um."

Jiang Yuan licked the spirit fruit, a satisfied smile curving his lips.

"Shenyin and Lianyi did a good job. The Ice Soul Ancestor of the Tianyang Great World had a grudge against my father. As for the Hanyin Great World, the three pseudo-emperors who took the evil path to prove their Dao have eventually grown into true Great Emperors. I'm afraid it will become another new forbidden zone for life."

"Hmm, and that old ghost named Blood River, I'm also very curious about his methods... and the people behind him."

"Hmm... Emperor Yuan, you... you believe that he... he has other forces behind him?"

Jiang Yuan pulled Ji Qingxuan into his arms and chuckled, "Of course. Otherwise, how could a mere quasi-emperor at the ninth level survive the Jiang family's intelligence network and even change his appearance?"

He chuckled lightly, taking a light bite of the spiritual fruit, his tone carrying an undisguised arrogance and disdain: "The Heavenly Dao has sent down a hundred Heavenly Heart Marks, attempting to create a new emperor, trying to dilute the Jiang family's fortune with the greed of all the heavens and myriad realms? What a joke! I'd like to see whether it sends down more marks or my women can kill faster."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxuan's beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration.

This is the man she submitted to. Faced with the schemes of Heaven, he not only showed no fear, but instead, with an even more domineering and tyrannical attitude, he directly overturned the chessboard!

Just then, a powerful and majestic divine thought suddenly emanated from Jiang Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness; it was none other than the First Ancestor, Jiang Qidao.

"Yuan'er, come to the ancestral hall."

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, patted Ji Qingxuan's pert buttocks, and gestured for her to step back.

Then, with a flicker, he tore through the void and disappeared from the main hall.

The ancestral home of the Jiang family, the oldest ancestral hall at its deepest part.

The atmosphere here is solemn and dignified. The walls around the room are engraved with the ancestral tablets of the Jiang family's ancestors, and a vast imperial aura flows through the air.

In the very center of the ancestral hall, a simple stone pool has been properly placed.

The stone pool was made entirely of an unknown gray divine stone. The water was as deep as ink, yet its surface shimmered with layers of starlight.

A mysterious aura of reincarnation emanated from the pool, seemingly connecting the other side of life and death, capable of cleansing all the causes and effects of the world.

It was the semi-immortal artifact that Jiang Yuan obtained from the system's critical hit reward—the [Reincarnation Pool]!

At this time, in addition to the first ancestor Jiang Qidao, several other ancestors, including the second ancestor Jiang Wuyai and the third ancestor Jiang Daoyan, were also prominently present in the ancestral hall.

Their faces were somewhat gloomy, their eyes fixed on the sky above the Pool of Reincarnation.

Jiang Yuan stepped out of the void and looked in the direction they were looking.

In mid-air, several faint clusters of true spirit light, almost extinguished at any moment, were being drawn slowly down into the pool by the invisible power of the laws emanating from the Samsara Pool.

From those clusters of true spirits, Jiang Yuan sensed the familiar aura of the Jiang family bloodline.

"This is... a core member of the Jiang family?"

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly. "There's also the aura of the Chaos Sword Body... Is that Jiang Yi? He's actually dead!"

Jiang Yi was originally from a collateral branch of the Jiang family, and he was also the first person Jiang Yuan took the Holy Spirit Pill after obtaining the system, upgrading his ordinary sword bones to a chaotic sword body. Therefore, Jiang Yuan regarded him as...

The voice of the First Ancestor, Jiang Qidao, carried a hint of suppressed anger.

"These youngsters are all outstanding members of the younger generation of my Jiang family. Except for Jiang Yi, their cultivation has reached the early stage of Quasi-Emperor. With the arrival of the Great Era, they were ordered to go to the outside world to compete for the Heavenly Heart Mark, but they never expected to be poisoned."

"Life and death are preordained, that's the norm, but they... actually attacked Jiang Yi!"

It should be noted that although Jiang Yi obtained the Supreme Sacred Body, had access to the Jiang family's vast resources, and even became a disciple of a Quasi-Emperor at the Ninth Heaven, his cultivation time was still relatively short, and he had only reached the Ninth Realm so far.

At this level, it is absolutely impossible for someone to participate in any battle for the heart of heaven.

A cold glint flashed in the Third Ancestor's eyes as he asked in a deep voice, "Was it affected by the aftershocks of the battle between other quasi-emperors?"

The progenitor Jiang Qidao shook his head, his face growing increasingly ashen.

"That's not the case. Judging from the last few images transmitted before his true spirit collapsed, the other party was clearly targeting him on purpose, and it seems that the one who made the move... appears to be a late-stage Quasi-Emperor!"

"Alright, grandfathers, revive them first and we'll know everything."

Jiang Yuan's tone was calm, but everyone could tell he was angry.

He nodded and walked to the edge of the Pool of Reincarnation.

Without the slightest hesitation, with a wave of his hand, he poured the vast amount of rare and precious materials, top-grade divine medicines, and even several complete star veins from the Jiang family's treasure trove into the Samsara Pool as if they were garbage.

boom!

The Pool of Reincarnation, having devoured a massive amount of resources, suddenly shone brightly!

The originally deep, inky pool water began to boil violently, and profound laws of reincarnation transformed into tangible chains, tightly binding the few faint true spirits before suddenly pulling them to the bottom of the pool.

Then, something truly astonishing happened.

Under the baptism of the law of reincarnation and the reshaping of massive resources, flawless physical bodies are condensing and taking shape in the pool of water at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Bones, meridians, flesh, skin... In just half an incense stick's time, several Jiang family members who had originally died and disappeared appeared in the pool water completely unharmed.

"Splash!"

Several disciples suddenly opened their eyes, leaped out of the pool, and landed steadily on the ground of the ancestral hall.

They first looked blankly at their hands, feeling the power within them restored to its peak, their eyes filled with unbelievable shock.

"I...I'm not dead?!"

"My cultivation level... has actually improved?!"

When they looked up and saw the several patriarchs standing in front of them and Jiang Yuan in a black and gold imperial robe, they immediately realized what was happening and knelt down with a thud, trembling with excitement.

"Thank you, Ancestor! Thank you, Emperor Yuan, for your life-saving grace!"

Tell me, who were the people who killed you?
