What does my ancestor's pregnancy have to do with me, a mere servant?

"Qingluan, tell your master."

Ji Bai slowly approached, his words carrying the power of law, piercing Su Qingluan's soul. "What... what kind of fortuitous encounter did you obtain?!"

boom!

The power of the rule that words become law exploded in his mind.

Su Qingluan clenched her teeth tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms. She wanted to protect that man's secret, to erase Lin Yuan's existence from her mind.

However, the gap between their cultivation levels was like an insurmountable chasm. Under the direct questioning of the Dao-Merging Great Power, her willpower defenses began to crumble inch by inch.

Lin Yuan's languid face, the silver and black Yin-Yang Netherfire, the intertwined auras... flashed wildly through my mind like a revolving lantern.

Su Qingluan's lips lost all color and trembled violently. She tried her best to shut her mouth, but she couldn't suppress the power that was prying open her soul.

She opened her mouth uncontrollably, her voice hoarse.

"Master, this spiritual root... comes from..."

After listening, Ji Bai paused slightly in his breathing.

Her eyes were fixed intently on Su Qingluan. Her Dao Integration Realm divine sense easily pierced through all pretense.

I wasn't lying.

There were no signs of the memory being altered.

"Hoo—" Ji Bai slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and an unusual flush appeared on his originally aloof and ethereal face.

If what this girl said is true.

If such divine arts truly exist!

Beneath the wide, white sleeves of her robe, her flawless jade hands clenched uncontrollably.

Throughout history, those who have achieved the Dao Integration Realm, though possessing extraordinary abilities, have been limited by their innate physical constitution. The Spirit Realm has produced many exceptionally talented Dao Integration giants, but without exception, they all ultimately remained stuck at the initial stage of Dao Integration, unable to advance any further throughout their lives.

"If I could capture this person and turn him into a furnace..." A chilling greed flashed in Ji Bai's eyes, "Would my spiritual root still have a chance to undergo another transformation? Could I use this to break through to the mid-stage, or even reach the Qian Yuan realm?"

Even if we take a step back and assume that this technique is ineffective against Dao-Merging experts, as long as it can imprison this man in the Cangwu Immortal Palace.

Mass production of disciples with Heavenly Spiritual Roots!

In less than a thousand years, the Cangwu Immortal Palace will be able to crush the other two major immortal sects under its feet with absolute overwhelming force, becoming the only supreme overlord of the spirit realm.

"Where is that person now?!" Ji Bai could no longer maintain his previous aloof indifference, his voice revealing a hint of urgency.

Su Qingluan lowered her eyes and answered truthfully, "A year ago, he took the interdimensional teleportation array behind the City Lord's Mansion to the Spirit Realm."

"Teleportation array..."

Ji Bai raised his eyebrows slightly.

Those beings from the lower realms who wish to ascend to the spirit realm must immediately consume the "Transformation Pill" bestowed by the Cangwu Immortal Palace after passing through the spatial passage to cleanse themselves of impurities. Without the protection of this pill, they will instantly attract a world-destroying lightning tribulation, being struck down and annihilated, body and soul.

Once someone successfully reaches the summit, their name will be recorded on the register.

Even if he concealed his cultivation level, as long as he investigated the whereabouts of all those who had ascended in the past year, he could dig them out even if he had to dig three feet into the ground.

"A divine opportunity!" Ji Bai could no longer contain herself. With a sudden flick of her sleeve, a vast beam of immortal light swept up Su Qingluan.

Before he finished speaking, Ji Bai formed a sword with his fingers and slashed fiercely at the void in front of him.

Stab it!

Space was violently torn apart like cloth, revealing a void passage shimmering with seven-colored light. The two figures became afterimages and instantly disappeared into it.

The crack was healed.

The immense pressure of the Dao Integration Realm receded like a tide. Only hundreds of thousands of cultivators kneeling below Heavenly Frost City remained, staring at the empty sky, bewildered and completely unaware of what had happened.

……

Meanwhile, in the Demon Realm.

The endless Black Sea.

The world was filled with a dense aura of malevolence, and the churning seawater was as black as ink and as viscous as blood that could not be dissolved.

"boom!"

A dark purple bolt of lightning tore through the black mist, leaving a terrifying shockwave trail across the sea.

Ye Jia's long robe fluttered in the wind, and a layer of frost settled between her brows.

The Demon Realm is vast and boundless; even a Dao Integration Realm expert cannot travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant. She had to use six interdimensional teleportation arrays to reach the edge of this desolate sea.

According to the demonic seed she left deep within Lie Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness, the father and daughter who were oblivious to their fate were hiding in a fragment of an independent space in this area.

"Once we find the spatial node and forcibly tear open the barrier, Lin Yuan will have nowhere to escape." Ye Jia licked her red lips, her eyes filled with bloodthirsty cruelty.

Just then.

The once calm black sea suddenly surged with towering waves!

"Click—"

The void twisted violently, and two terrifying pressures, no less powerful than Ye Jia's, descended upon this sea area like two collapsing ancient divine mountains.

The surrounding laws froze instantly, even the rolling black waves were frozen in mid-air.

Two figures slowly emerged from the void.

The man on the left was three zhang tall, with three heads and six arms, his entire body covered in thick, dark golden dragon scales, from which spewed earth-fiend demonic flames. His pair of vertical pupils, the size of millstones, revealed a pure destructive desire.

It was Rama, one of the three progenitors of the demon realm.

The man on the right was a handsome and refined scholar. He wore a blue robe and held a white bone folding fan. He seemed harmless, but wherever he passed, the void decayed inch by inch, and the sea turned into lifeless ashes.

Ketu, the Demon Ancestor.

Ye Jia abruptly stopped, his body radiating intense demonic light: "Rama. Ketu."

"Ye Jia." Ji Du waved his bone fan, a lukewarm smile on his face. "You woman disappeared without a word for ten thousand years. Where did you go? I thought you had perished outside."

"I went to the lower realm for a stroll and just got back not long ago." Ye Jia's face was as cold as ice, showing no intention of reminiscing.

Rama, with his six thick arms crossed over his chest, looked down at Ye Jia, his voice booming like thunder: "Stop trying to fool me with this nonsense. You came back and forcibly sealed the gate to the Netherworld. What do you take the rules we've established for ten thousand years for?!"

"This matter is of utmost importance." Ye Jia's gaze remained unwavering as he withstood the pressure from the two. "Until this matter is resolved, the gates to the Netherworld will not be opened. I will naturally give you an explanation in the future."

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

They are all ancient demons who have lived for countless years, and none of them are any less intelligent than the others.

Ye Jia's possessiveness towards her food is too obvious.

Ji Du closed his folding fan, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed. For this madwoman to be willing to offend both of them to seal off the two realms, it must be an extraordinary opportunity against all odds.

"An explanation? An empty explanation is worthless." Ji Du chuckled, and with a flicker of his figure, he appeared a hundred feet to the left of Ye Jia, subtly cutting off her escape route.

Rama stepped forward, blocking the right side: "Since we've run into each other, why don't we all take a look and see what important matter requires the entire Demon Realm to be sealed off?"

Ye Jia gritted her teeth; she really wanted to tear these two people to shreds.

If those two old monsters discover Lin Yuan's heaven-defying ability to "elevate the ancestral bloodline," they can forget about monopolizing this fortune.

"Do as you please." Ye Jia snorted coldly, then simply concealed her aura and hovered motionless in mid-air.
