“Things have changed. I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to accept him as a disciple. ”
Great Immortal Wang Chen swirled his wine cup and spoke leisurely, attracting Lu Shenzhou and Ye Zhan’s attention.
Lu Shenzhou sat down again and looked at Great Immortal Wang Chen. “What did you calculate?”
Great Immortal Wang Chen, who had inherited the Golden Core Great Dao, was in charge of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror. His perception of the Kunlun Field was clearer than that of the Celestial Emperor.
Great Immortal Wang Chen said, “That child’s luck is extraordinary. He is born to face the calamity. It is hard to distinguish good from evil, and cause and effect. If chaos arises in the human world, perhaps there will also be chaos in the sky.”
His words were taboo, but he was the leader of the Earth Immortals and was not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. He dared to say anything.
Lu Shenzhou and Ye Zhan looked at each other and saw the worry in each other’s eyes.
It would not be a good thing if the calamity of the Kunlun Field appeared in the bloodline of the Dao Ancestor.
At the same time.
In the sleeping quarters of the Heavenly Concubine, the heavenly ladies knelt on the ground. Mu Lingluo hugged the swaddled son of the Celestial Emperor with a tender expression. Bai Qi stood by her side and carefully looked at the son of the Celestial Emperor, but she did not dare to touch him.
The Celestial Emperor walked in with quick steps while Chen Li stood guard in front of the gates. He did not enter the palace.
Just as Mu Lingluo was about to hand over the son of the Celestial Emperor to him, he came to the bed and looked at the pale Heavenly Concubine.
“What’s going on? Didn’t I tell you to train well? A dignified Heavenly Concubine almost killed herself giving birth to a child. Aren’t you afraid of embarrassing me if this gets out?”
The Celestial Emperor scolded, but his hand had already grabbed the Heavenly Concubine’s hand, and his face was full of heartache.
Bai Qi muttered, “This is true love. He doesn’t even care about his youngest son. Oh right, he already has enough sons.”
Mu Lingluo did not express her opinion. She walked to the Celestial Emperor’s side and said, “This is your son. Hold him. I have to go back and cultivate.”
She had too many descendants. Even though she liked this kid at first glance, she preferred to cultivate more.
The Celestial Emperor took his son and hastily said, “Mother, his talent…
should I tell father about it?”
On the way here, his opinion was the same as Great Immortal Wang Chen and the other two. They were filled with worry and felt that this kid was ominous.
Mu Lingluo said, “Your father already knows. He asked me to come. He said that this child is called Jiang Yi.”
With that said, Mu Lingluo disappeared from the hall.
The Celestial Emperor frowned and his gaze landed on the baby in his arms. There was a vertical eye on the baby’s forehead, and the eyeball were pitch-black while the pupils were pale. It looked rather horrifying.
Bai Qi reminded her from afar, “Be careful. This kid’s devouring power is very strong. Even my magic power was almost sucked dry. Other than your parents, I reckon only you can suppress him.”
She turned around and jogged away, as if she was afraid of waking up the sleeping Jiang Yi.
The Celestial Emperor frowned and stared at Jiang Yi.
For some reason, as soon as he saw this kid, his heart was filled with uneasiness, as if he could see the arrival of a great calamity.
He did not care for this child at all. In fact, he even despised him. However, considering that Jiang Changsheng might be watching, he could only endure it.
On the other side.
When Mu Lingluo returned to the Purple Cloud Palace, she came to Jiang Changsheng’s side and asked curiously, “Brother Changsheng, why did you name him with the Yi character? His devouring power is not simple. What’s his origin?”
Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes and said, “I named him with the ‘Yi’ character that means righteousness because the karma of his life is related to this word. I hope he will not let down his righteousness. As for his devouring power, you are right. It’s the power of the Great Dao that you and I comprehended, not the power of laws scattered above heaven and earth.”
The power of the laws was the manifestation of the power of the Great Dao. One could only rely on the power of the laws to comprehend it, while comprehending the power of the Great Dao could turn it into one’s own power. The difference between the two was still very big. Most martial arts experts mobilized the power of the laws, but only a few people were born with it, such as Lu Shenzhou.
Mu Lingluo said in surprise, “In that case, this kid is extremely talented and is even better than Ziyu?”
“Yes, he has broken the Jiang Family’s talent limit.”
Jiang Changsheng answered. He could not help but think of the future Jiang Xun.
He had always felt that Jiang Xun was the most talented one. To be able to directly grasp the Dao Slaying Finger so quickly had left an indelible impression on him.
“He has absorbed the magic power of his mother and the heavenly ladies. I’m afraid this will bring him trouble. At the very least, Ziyu doesn’t like him that much.”
Mu Lingluo sighed. In the past, she might have personally taken care of Jiang Yi, but right now, she wanted to concentrate on her own cultivation.
There were endless descendants. How could she feel sorry for every one of them?
Jiang Changsheng still did not open his eyes and casually said, “Humans are not born with a good nature, and this kid does have an evil heart.” Mu Lingluo frowned and asked, “In that case, should we not interfere?”
“Even if he is evil, his birth has a certain meaning. Moreover, he is only evil right now. He still has a chance to be righteous.”
Jiang Changsheng’s answer made Mu Lingluo’s brows relax.
She began to calculate Jiang Yi’s fate, and her expression became increasingly solemn. Ultimately, she sat back on her cushion and remained silent.
Jiang Changsheng did not ask her what she had calculated and continued to comprehend the Dao of luck.
Jiang Yi’s birth quickly spread throughout the Heavenly Court and then throughout the Mental Wander Realm. He could absorb other people’s magic power the moment he was born and almost killed his mother, making Jiang Yi’s matter unnerving.
He did not have an ordinary identity, as he was the son of the Celestial Emperor. This meant that he would definitely grow up and not die young.
If he were to indulge his talents, who would not be afraid?
The Heavenly Palace where Jiang Yi lived began to become deserted, and no fairies dared to come.
Years passed and Jiang Yi continued to grow.
He began to be able to control his own abilities, but as he became sensible, he also began to feel lonely and often sat on the steps of the Heavenly Palace in a daze.
The Heavenly Concubine had no choice but to look for the Celestial Emperor.
The Celestial Emperor was afraid of Jiang Yi and rarely visited him. However, he really doted on this Heavenly Concubine. After all, she was his newest concubine. After some thought, he summoned Jiang Tianming and asked him to take care of Jiang Yi.
Jiang Tianming had a powerful cultivation and a passionate personality, so he was suitable to enlighten Jiang Yi.
Several days later, Jiang Tianming went to find Jiang Yi.
The nine-year-old Jiang Yi sat in front of the steps with his hands cupping his cheeks. He wore an exquisite and gorgeous robe and looked very similar to Jiang Ziyu. Coupled with the black Eye of the Great Dao on his forehead, he had the domineering aura of an emperor.
“Yo, you’re already so sentimental at such a young age?”
Jiang Tianming’s laughter sounded. Jiang Yi turned around and when he saw the Great Dao pattern on Jiang Tianming’s forehead, his eyes widened.
Jiang Yi wanted to say something but hesitated. He seemed very timid.
Jiang Tianming came to his side and sat down. He put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile, “That’s right. We are related by blood and are both sons of the Jiang Family. I heard from your father that you are unhappy. What is there to be unhappy about? When I was your age, I was not even born yet.”
“Not born yet? What do you mean?”
“I stayed in my mother’s womb for ten years.”
“Is that true?”
“Of course. When I was born, I was reputed to be a devil fetus that killed my parents. I was much stranger than you.”
Jiang Tianming had obviously heard of the rumors about Jiang Yi, which was why he was willing to come. He could empathize with him.
This similar experience made Jiang Yi immediately relax. He said aggrievedly,
“I did not intentionally do that. Why do they look at me like that…”
There were also heavenly ladies in his Heavenly Palace, but they changed batch after batch. There were even other Heavenly Concubines who came to visit, but everyone would instinctively feel fear when they saw his Eye of the Great Dao. “That’s because we are talented, so they are naturally afraid. Jiang Yi, you are not simple. The Dao Ancestor even personally named us. How many of your brothers and sisters can receive such treatment?”
Jiang Tianming smiled proudly. He was happy to praise himself. Jiang Jian and the others once laughed at him for looking awe-inspiring, when in fact, he had the heart of a young man. “Dao Ancestor?”
Jiang Yi was puzzled.
“You don’t know your grandfather? He’s your grandfather, your father’s father.
When you were born, it was your grandmother who saved your mother. Otherwise, your situation would be even worse.”
Jiang Tianming was not afraid of him at all. It was as if he treated Jiang Yi as his peer.
Jiang Yi blinked and asked, “Where are my grandparents? Can you bring me there?”
Jiang Tianming rolled his eyes at him and said, “What’s your identity and strength? You also want to see the Dao Ancestor? Cultivate well. Speaking of which, you’re already nine years old. Why haven’t you started cultivating?”
Jiang Yi curiously asked, “What is cultivating?”
The Celestial Emperor was afraid of his talents, so he did not give him any cultivation methods and forbade the heavenly ladies from imparting it to him.
Jiang Tianming thought for a while, but he was not afraid. Instead, he casually said, “In that case, how about I teach you how to cultivate?”
“Sure!”
“Let’s go, let’s go to the lower realm together!”
“Where are you going down there?”
“Let’s go to Hell. There’s a guy who has created an extraordinary cultivation technique that I have to learn.”
“Hell? Good, good, good!”
Jiang Yi clapped his hands and said happily. He had no idea about Hell, but he just wanted to go somewhere he had never been before.
Jiang Tianming picked up Jiang Yi and turned into a golden light, disappearing into the sea of clouds.
In the imperial study, the Celestial Emperor was looking at the memorials of the human world.
Suddenly, Chen Li walked in and said, “Your Majesty, Jiang Tianming brought
Jiang Yi to Hell to visit Jiang Shan.”
When the Celestial Emperor heard that, he immediately stood up. However, he seemed to have thought of something and sat down again.
Chen Li smiled and said, “Your Majesty, think about it carefully. Isn’t His
Highness Jiang Yi very similar to Jiang Shan?”
Celestial Emperor nodded and said, “Yi’er has a similar birth experience to
Tianming and has a similar fate to Shan’er. It is a good thing that the three of them can help each other. I am relieved.”
Chen Li said, “The Dao Ancestor personally bestowed him a name, naming him after the righteous character. Coupled with the impending calamity, Your
Majesty, this child might not be a calamity, but the life line of the Heavenly Court.”
These words made the Celestial Emperor feel comfortable. Even though he did not like Jiang Yi, as a father, who did not wish to hear others praising his son?
“Hmph, the Heavenly Court needs a lifeline? Chen Li, the Heavenly Court does not rely on me. It relies on the one above!”
The Celestial Emperor snorted and pretended to be displeased.
Chen Li hastily smiled apologetically and said, “Yes, I misspoken, but I feel that His Highness Jiang Yi can bring blessings to the Heavenly Court.” The Celestial Emperor nodded and fell silent.
When he heard Chen Li mention Jiang Shan, he suddenly felt guilty.
Back then, he doted on Jiang Shan so much that he did not even go astray. Naturally, Jiang Yi had hope.
“I have indeed let him down…”
The Celestial Emperor stood up and walked towards the door of the imperial study.
“Your Majesty, where are you going?”
“To the Purple Cloud Palace!”
As he looked at the Celestial Emperor’s back, Chen Li revealed a smile and thought to himself, “Your Majesty, that’s more like it. This is also a test for you..”
