"This gift is much more valuable than peaches of immortality..."
"That's not necessarily true! The Peaches of Immortality extend lifespan by a thousand years. For some old monsters nearing the end of their lifespan, an extra thousand years is equivalent to an extra opportunity to break through!"
"That's right! No matter how precious the Dao Fruit is, you still need to be alive to enjoy it!"
"But can't the Enlightenment Fruit also help people break through? No matter how stupid a person is, can't they still break through after obtaining the Enlightenment Fruit?"
"I also think it's better than the Peaches of Immortality! Not only can it help you break through your cultivation level, but you might even be able to comprehend some heaven-defying divine power!"
"But that thousand years is real! No matter how powerful the Dao Fruit is, you can only achieve enlightenment once, and what you understand depends on your own fate. What if you end up with something useless? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
"You fucking know nothing! For a prodigy who's only one step away from becoming a divine being, the Dao Fruit might be the final step that helps him ascend to the Great Emperor realm!"
"That's not how it works..."
The debate raged on, and it was difficult to determine a winner for the time being.
The location of the Golden Crow tribe.
Bi Yang stared at the Dao Fruit, his eyes turning red!
The peaches of immortality can extend lifespan by a thousand years; if placed in the outside world, they would drive even saints mad and make quasi-emperors take notice!
But he was in his prime, and the so-called peaches of immortality were merely icing on the cake for him...
But this Dao Fruit is different!
It can help a cultivator achieve enlightenment once, and if he possesses it... he might be able to comprehend his own Dharma.
What is one's own law?
That was the most crucial ticket to the Imperial Road.
Throughout history, every great emperor created his own unique laws and principles before attaining enlightenment.
Without one's own methods, even if one cultivates to the level of a quasi-emperor, one is merely reaching the end of the path laid out by predecessors, and will never be able to take the final step!
Before coming to the Eastern Wilderness, Bi Yang never imagined that he would see a Dao Fruit being given away as a congratulatory gift on such a occasion.
Have the Jiang family gone mad? They actually gave this away as a gift? Just to bring together the Dao Embryo and the Human Emperor Body?
He gripped the wine glass tightly, making a cracking sound, and the arrogance in his golden eyes had somehow been replaced by an indescribable emotion.
He felt resentful, envious, and even a hint of jealousy that he couldn't quite place...
He was hailed as the strongest bloodline of the Golden Crow Clan in 100,000 years since childhood, and he lacked no resources whatsoever, yet even he did not possess a treasure of this caliber.
King Jinwu observed the reactions of his offspring.
He didn't interrupt it; he could tell it wasn't a demon in his heart.
Bi Yang wasn't driven by greed, but rather by a sudden impulse, which was fine...
Let him know that there are always people better than him, and that some things don't just belong to him just because they're good.
"Father." Bi Yang's mood was somewhat low.
"Um?"
"When I get back, I want a Dao Fruit too."
"Cough!" King Jinwu choked on his wine. He put down his cup and looked at his offspring speechlessly.
Do you know how the fruits of the Tao are formed?
"That is the Enlightenment Tree that the Jiang family's ancestor Shennong obtained from the depths of chaos and planted with his own imperial laws! There is only one of these trees on the entire Ziwei Star!"
"It only ripens once every nine thousand years. Even the heads of the Jiang family throughout history might not get a chance to get one. Where am I supposed to find one for you?"
Bi Yang remained silent for a long while before speaking with resentment: "Then why is it that the Human Emperor Physique is allowed?"
King Jinwu was utterly speechless. "They're looking for a son-in-law; this is a deposit!"
In a moment of impulsiveness, Bi Yang retorted, "Then I can too!"
A blush rose on the Golden Crow King's face, and he raised his hand to slap Bi Yang's head.
"I'll beat you to death, you idiot! Are you even human? Do you have some kind of special constitution? I'll recycle you right now!"
……
At the Ji family banquet.
Ji Er looked utterly hopeless...
Jiang Cheng, that old bastard, is making things difficult for him by taking out the Enlightenment Fruit.
He rested his forehead on two fingers and thought for a moment, then finally made a decision.
"Sigh... Never mind, I'll awaken Ba Cang when I get back! I'll have to hold an Imperial Prince Ceremony for him next year and make you all bleed a little!"
……
After Jiang Chengxian finished offering his greetings, he sat down and listened to the arguments of the younger generation.
These guys are arguing about which is more valuable? Ha, what do they know?
For the Jiang family, as long as the two combine and produce an offspring destined to become an emperor, what difference does a mere Dao Fruit make? Nine thousand years of waiting is nothing!
He picked up his teacup and took a sip, his face calm and collected, but secretly he had already sent a wisp of his divine sense to Bei Shenfeng.
"Northern Holy Lord, let me add fuel to the fire." His voice rang out in the Northern Divine Wind's sea of consciousness.
"After the matter is accomplished, my Jiang family will give you two more Nine-Aperture Golden Pills."
"As you know, that item is a secret technique passed down in my Jiang family. One piece is equivalent to a hundred years of arduous cultivation at the Transcendent Realm. Isn't that more than enough sincerity?"
After saying that, he withdrew his divine sense and continued to quietly sip his tea, as if what he had just said was nothing more than some trivial trifle.
For the Jiang family, two Nine-Aperture Golden Pills were indeed nothing.
People only know that the alchemy of Medicine King Valley is unparalleled in the Eastern Wilderness, but they seem to have forgotten...
When it comes to alchemy, the Jiang family are the true progenitors!
Jiang Cheng was secretly planning this marriage when he suddenly felt a gaze fall on him, making him feel a chill.
He turned his head and saw Jiang Xi staring at him coldly with her eyes, which were filled with the patterns of the Great Dao.
Jiang Xi's intuition told her that her father's visit just now was not simply to deliver a congratulatory gift!
Although she couldn't intercept the divine sense transmission of the Transcendent Realm cultivator, the Dao Embryo's sensitivity to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely keen!
When Jiang Cheng sent out the Dao Fruit, there was a very subtle trace of divine sense being released into the spiritual energy fluctuations, and it was directed towards the main position of the Big Dipper!
Combined with his strange expression after giving the gift—head down, sipping tea, and a smile in his eyes—it was quite striking.
She was certain that what this divine consciousness was saying was definitely not anything serious.
The feeling was like being stabbed in the back...
"Father," Jiang Xi said, her voice tinged with emotion.
Jiang Cheng's expression remained unchanged. "Hmm?"
"Did you just say something to the Lord of the Big Dipper?"
"No," Jiang Cheng calmly took a sip of tea.
"I merely gave you a Dao Fruit to establish a good relationship between the Jiang family and the Big Dipper. What are you thinking?"
Jiang Xi sighed. With her intelligence and quick wit, how could she not have guessed what her father was planning...?
"Father, you're still thinking about a marriage alliance, aren't you?" Jiang Xi explained.
Jiang Cheng was slightly taken aback, but quickly returned to normal.
He looked at his daughter, his face still bearing that warm smile, "Xi'er, aren't I doing this for your own good?"
His tone was like coaxing a sulking child, "The Human Emperor's Body is one in a million, and you are a Dao Embryo, this is a match made in heaven."
"The first Human Emperor manifested the River of Humanity precisely after your birth. Haven't you ever considered the deeper meaning behind this?"
Jiang Xi just watched him quietly.
Jiang Cheng felt a little flustered under her gaze, coughed lightly, and continued:
"The three royal families are of the same bloodline, and the Feng family and my Jiang family have been on good terms for generations."
"If you can form a Daoist partnership with the Human Emperor Body, the two families will be even closer. Moreover, the offspring born from the union of the Human Emperor Body and the Dao Embryo will surely become a Great Emperor!"
"By then, my Jiang family will be the most prestigious of all imperial families. As the future mother of the Great Emperor, how exalted will your status be? Isn't that far better than you walking that uncertain path to becoming an emperor alone?"
"Father," Jiang Xi finally spoke, "Are you finished?"
