Covering the Sky: The Years I Was the Empress's Strictest Master

These antiques are all part of the Jiang family's accumulated heritage passed down through generations.

The oldest of them even lived through the end of the mythical era, and their seniority was frighteningly high. They usually slept in the divine source and did not come out except for matters of family survival or major decisions.

Now that Jiang Yunhe has become a quasi-emperor, it concerns the future fortune of the family, so they are naturally alarmed.

this day,

Deep within the Jiang family ancestral hall, divine light swirled and the principles of Tao permeated the air.

Several ancient figures, seemingly from ancient times, sat high on a jade platform amidst the clouds and mist. Their auras were as deep as the ocean, and although they were old, their eyes still held a captivating majesty.

Jiang Wanqing and the newly appointed Emperor-to-be Jiang Yunhe both stood solemnly in the hall.

"Yunhe is exceptionally talented and of excellent character. His achievement of becoming a Quasi-Emperor is truly a blessing for the Jiang family and a boon for the human race."

An ancient being shrouded in chaotic energy, his face obscured, slowly spoke, his voice aged yet filled with majesty:

"However, the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. With the Great Emperor Devouring Heaven suppressing the universe and all paths of power in this world, even someone as gifted as Wanqing will find it difficult to achieve anything in the short term."

For the sake of the family, and for Yunhe's own sake, this marriage alliance is imperative.

Another old-fashioned interface, its voice calm yet undeniably authoritative:

"My Jiang family has maintained a long-standing friendship with the Yuwen lineage of the Divine Clan."

Yuwen Xuan, the contemporary goddess of the Yuwen lineage, possesses exceptional talent, beauty, and temperament, making her a perfect match for Yun He.

A marriage between the two families can solidify their alliance and help them jointly withstand future upheavals.

"We've already spoken with the old folks of the Yuwen lineage about this matter after we left the pass, and they're happy to see it happen. This move can be seen as mending the rift that Wanqing caused between the two sides..."

Jiang Yunhe stood below the hall, tall and handsome, with a resemblance between his eyebrows and Jiang Wanqing.

Upon hearing this, he remained calm, showing neither joy nor sorrow, and simply bowed respectfully.

"Yunhe will follow the arrangements of the Ancestor and Aunt in everything."

He knew full well that as a member of the Jiang family, while enjoying the family's endless resources and glory, he naturally also had to bear corresponding responsibilities.

And one of the responsibilities is to form marriage alliances, and even to have offspring to continue the bloodline and cultivate outstanding descendants for the clan.

Moreover, he had heard of Yuwen Xuan and knew her to be a remarkable woman of his time, so he had no objection to her.

Jiang Wanqing sat to the side, watching her great-nephew calmly accept the arrangements, and sighed inwardly.

She was well aware of the benefits that a marriage alliance would bring to the family.

Seeing the younger generation, just like themselves back then, unable to make their own decisions about marriage, inevitably evokes some feelings.

But she also understood that in powerful families, especially those like hers that stood at the pinnacle of the world, personal feelings often had to give way to the interests and the greater good of the family.

Her gaze involuntarily fell upon an elderly woman with white hair sitting at the head of the table.

This old woman is one of the oldest members of the Jiang family and one of the key figures who advocated for her to marry into the divine race to consolidate her power.

Now, a similar drama is about to be repeated with the next generation.

However, isn't part of the reason for Jiang Yunhe's current predicament also due to what she did back then?

Suddenly, as if sensing something, the old woman looked at Jiang Wanqing with her cloudy yet wise eyes, her voice gentle yet carrying an undeniable authority:

"Wanqing, you have now attained enlightenment in a different way, becoming a pillar of strength for my Jiang family."

The clan has been urging you to get married for years, but you've consistently used the excuse that you haven't yet achieved enlightenment to postpone it.

Now that Yunhe has grown up, he can share some of the family's burdens...

However, your marriage should be put on the agenda now; it can't be delayed any longer.

In recent years, many more prodigies have emerged from the Divine Race…

"Ancestor."

Jiang Wanqing stood up, gave a slight bow, and spoke in a gentle yet firm voice:

"The way of gentleness and purity lies within oneself."

For Yu Wanqing, a marriage alliance was not necessary.

Now that Yunhe and Goddess Yuwen have formed a marriage alliance, it is enough to solidify the friendship between the Jiang family and the divine race.

Wanqing wishes to silently protect her family and pursue the Great Dao. Regarding the matter of marriage, please forgive Wanqing for being unable to hastily comply.

Her attitude was clear and resolute.

Now, she is an unconventional enlightened being, standing at the pinnacle of the universe, with enough confidence and strength to refuse her family's arrangements.

She respected these ancestors who dedicated their lives to the family.

But when it comes to matters of her own path and happiness, she will not compromise.

Upon hearing this, the group of old-timers fell silent for a moment.

They were well aware of Jiang Wanqing's current status and power, and that she was no longer a member of their clan who could be easily manipulated.

Forcing an unconventional enlightened being into a marriage is not only unrealistic, but may also backfire.

Finally, the ancient being within the chaotic energy slowly spoke:

"If that's the case, then so be it."

However, the path to immortality is lonely and the journey is long. Having a companion on this path would be a wonderful thing. You should consider this carefully.

Jiang Wanqing felt relieved and bowed again:

"Thank you for your understanding, Elder."

The marriage was thus arranged.

The Jiang family and the Yuwen lineage began to prepare for the wedding in full swing, sending out invitations to powerful clans, holy lands, and great religions from all over the world to attend the ceremony.

The marriage between a quasi-emperor of a top-tier lineage and a goddess of the divine race is undoubtedly a momentous event that will shake the cosmos.

In the year 4508 of the Devouring Heaven Calendar, on Jiang Family Divine Island.

On this day, Jiangjia Divine Island was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, surrounded by auspicious clouds and filled with celestial music.

In the vast starry sky, streaks of light streaked across the sky, each a giant from various factions who had come to witness the ceremony.

There are ancient family heads who drive ancient war chariots, holy land lords who ride in white jade chariots, great saints of the demon race who ride exotic beasts, and even quasi-emperors from beyond the realm who tear through the void and descend directly...

Guests flocked like clouds, and powerful figures rained down, showcasing the unparalleled grandeur of the marriage alliance between the Jiang family and the divine race.

As one of the Jiang family's strongest fighters and key figures, Jiang Wanqing naturally didn't need to personally greet the distinguished guests.

However, some meetings are unavoidable and cannot be avoided.

Therefore, she changed into a more dignified and magnificent purple palace dress today to show the prestige of the Jiang family.

The skirt was embroidered with intricate Jiang family totems and the sun, moon, and stars in gold and silver thread, and she wore a crown with nine phoenixes holding pearls on her head.

A purple rhombus-shaped crystal gleamed between his brows, exuding a noble and graceful aura, yet also carrying the unique majesty and otherworldly quality of an unconventional enlightened being.

Someone who could command the attention of an unconventional cultivator like Jiang Wanqing, who is comparable to a self-severing Supreme Being to some extent, is certainly no ordinary person.

The Jiang family held a grand banquet for heroes from all over the heavens. Suiren Lianlei and Gu Qingying also received invitations and came together.

Besides them, several other near-peak ninth-level cultivators from across the universe who were about to achieve enlightenment also came to show their support.

Suiren Lianlei arrived dressed in a bright red, fitted outfit; her figure was lithe and tall, her passion fiery, attracting countless gazes wherever she went.

But her status was undeniable; her starry eyes exuded an air of authority, and no one dared to look at her for long or approach her easily.

Gu Qingying was still dressed in her moon-white gown, as aloof and serene as the moon.

Her purple, along with Jiang Wanqing's and Suiren Lianlei's red, complemented each other, becoming the three most dazzling sights at the wedding banquet.

Several years later, before the ten-year period was over, the three women reunited in a private room by the railing of a high-rise building, and naturally had a long chat.

Jiang Wanqing looked at her two close friends and smiled gently:

"Fellow Daoists, you must be tired from your journey."

The original intention of this wedding banquet was to invite Chi Xuan, the founder of the Tianxuan Holy Land, to attend and learn some details in advance.

Unfortunately, after sending the invitation, I learned that her old injury had not yet healed and she was still recuperating in seclusion, so she could not come. It was truly a pity.

There was a barely perceptible sigh in her voice.

The lineage established by Chi Xuan is located within the same region as Chixia River. Given her cultivation level, she should be the most knowledgeable person outside of the forbidden area about any unusual developments that occurred there in the past.

Furthermore, his relationship with Tan Lin is quite deep.

She had hoped to use this opportunity to try and glean some information from him.

Now that the other party is still in seclusion, we have lost a channel to test the waters in advance.

Gu Qingying nodded slightly, her melancholy eyes gazing towards the direction of Chixia River, and said softly:

"It's alright. Once this matter is settled, I will personally visit the Tianxuan Holy Land. The ten-year period is approaching, and we need to make plans as soon as possible."

Suiren Lianlei took a sip of the immortal wine, a strange glint flashing in her starry eyes:

"The ten-year deadline is imperative."

When the time comes, I will go and 'visit' that great emperor of the time to see what she's up to!

"Fellow Daoist Qingying, go to Tianxuan. Sister Wanqing, you will remain in the outer realm for now, ready to provide support at any time."

The three women discussed their next steps in hushed tones.

The wedding banquet was a lively affair, with guests from all sides toasting each other and offering their congratulations.

Jiang Yunhe and Yuwen Xuan, a perfect couple, completed their wedding ceremony amidst the blessings of everyone.

Yuwen Xuan, draped in a seven-colored shawl specially made by the gods, possessed an exquisite beauty and noble temperament. Standing next to the handsome and dashing Jiang Yunhe, they were truly a match made in heaven.

The wedding banquet lasted for seven days before finally coming to an end.

As the guests gradually departed, the Jiang family and the Yuwen lineage officially became husband and wife, forging an even closer relationship. The unpleasant incident that had occurred thousands of years ago seemed to have been put behind them.

……

Several years later, in the year 4515 of the Devouring Heaven Calendar,

Deep within Jiang Family Divine Island, in a secret hall protected by numerous array formations.

A loud cry of a newborn baby shattered the tranquility of the secret palace.

Immediately afterwards, strange phenomena occurred in the sky above the Jiang family's residence outside the palace!

Wow!

Suddenly, a purple aura traveled thirty thousand miles eastward, vast and mighty like a dragon, surging into the secret palace. The sun and moon shone together, and the stars manifested, showering down endless starlight.

Furthermore, ethereal images of celestial flowers bloomed, accompanied by resounding Daoist chants, and illusory images of divine beasts swirled around them…

These unusual phenomena alarmed the entire Jiang family, and some of the unusual activity even leaked out to the outside world, attracting the attention of many powerful beings on the ancient star Ziwei.

"A new life has been born! The offspring of Chief Yunhe has been born!"

"My God! What kind of strange phenomenon is this?"

Compared to when the goddess Wanqing descended to earth, she seems even more powerful…

"My Jiang family has a worthy successor... another peerless prodigy has emerged!"

"We must seize this opportunity..."

"..."

"quick……"

On this day, the entire Jiang family was filled with jubilation.

Several self-proclaimed ancient beings were alarmed and sent their divine senses into the infant. When they sensed that the infant's innate chakra was open, its body brimming with life force like the ocean, containing boundless Dao principles, they were astonished.

They were all so excited they could hardly contain themselves.

"Good, good, good! May God bless the Jiang family!"

This child's innate strength and profound Daoist aura are truly unparalleled in my life!
