Chapter 533: Ancestor’s Ancestor
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Xun recounted the past, starting from when that Heavenly Devil first appeared. Speaking of which, Jiang Xun had a deep relationship with that
Heavenly Devil. When he first roamed the void, he encountered the Heavenly Devil and even saved him. After the two of them met, Jiang Xun thought that they had become good friends, so they exchanged bitter words and he mentioned the domineeringness of the imperial bloodline of the Jiang Clan.
Jiang Xun had displayed his talents and was favored by the imperial lineage. As for that prodigy from the imperial lineage who did whatever he wanted, he was punished by the imperial lineage and locked up in his clan’s territory for 100,000 years. Such a punishment was neither painful nor heavy, but Jiang Xun could not pursue it any further.
However, what happened after that was the real disaster for Jiang Xun and the imperial bloodline.
100,000 years later, that prodigy of the imperial bloodline came out of his house arrest and plotted to encircle and suppress Jiang Xun’s descendants. At that time, Jiang Xun was only a step away from becoming an Immortal Emperor. How powerful was he then? He wreaked havoc in the imperial bloodline and forcefully killed that prodigy, disregarding the obstruction of the elders. Many died in that battle and Jiang Xun became famous in that battle. The imperial bloodline could not do anything to him and could only let him leave.
However, in the years to come, those forces that had been bullied by the imperial bloodline took action one after another. The imperial bloodline welcomed an unprecedented calamity, and the Heavenly Devil took the opportunity to sneak into the imperial bloodline and devour their bloodline. By the time someone discovered this, the Heavenly Devil had already become a half-step Immortal Emperor.
Under the Heavenly Dao, those who reached the Immortal Emperor Realm could ascend. Therefore, a half-step Immortal Emperor was already very powerful. It could even be said that they were invincible in the world.
Jiang Xun avenged the Jiang Clan. However, when he saw the Heavenly Devil, he was greatly shocked. After a fight, he was actually defeated by that Heavenly Devil. On the account of Jiang Xun saving his life in the past, the Heavenly
Devil let him go. From then on, a long-standing grudge started between them.
Over the long years, the Heavenly Devil continued to attack the Jiang Clan. More and more people from the Jiang Clans died, and more and more subsidiary worlds were destroyed. Later on, he created the Heavenly Devil Race and replaced the Jiang Clan’s overlord position. Until today, there was only Jiang Xun’s lineage left in the Jiang Clan.
“It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t saved him, if I hadn’t caused a scene in the Jiang Clan, which gave him the chance…
Jiang Xun’s face was filled with pain. In his agitation, he could not help but cough violently.
“Since you have become an Immortal Emperor, why didn’t you ascend?” Jiang Changsheng asked.
Jiang Xun gritted his teeth and said, “If I were to leave, what would happen to the Jiang Clan? After I ascend, I will not be able to return. Plus, the lower realm will not be able to contact the upper realm.”
“Then why didn’t the Jiang Clan leave any Immortal Emperors behind?”
“Those who have reached the Immortal Emperor Realm have all lived for a long time. There is no longer any reason for them to stay in the human world. They only want to continue pursuing the Great Dao. Furthermore, the Jiang Clan had the most Taiyi True Immortals, and there were more than ten half-step Immortal Emperors. In the myriad worlds, they possess the strength of an absolute overlord, so there’s not much point for an Immortal Emperor to stay. Who would have expected the birth of the Heavenly Devil? His growth speed is too fast…”
Jiang Xun sighed. Speaking of the Heavenly Devil, other than hatred, there was also a trace of fear in his tone.
Jiang Changsheng calmly asked, “How did he devour the flesh and blood of the
Jiang Clan? How did his body change after devouring it?”
Jiang Xun pondered for a moment and said, “Compared to the previous prodigy from the imperial bloodline, his devouring technique was more violent and only strengthened his physique. He did not obtain the Eye of the Great Dao and even formed another physique. He called it the Void Divine Body and magic power could not do any damage to him. Only pure physical strength could harm him. Precisely because of its uniqueness, the Jiang Clan was not his opponent.”
They could not injure him with magic power and could only rely on their physical strength?
Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows. Why did this sound like the nemesis of the Immortal Dao?
“Oh right, my Dao Slaying Finger can injure him, but his speed is too fast, so he can easily dodge. There was once when I successfully killed him, but he was resurrected through the bodies of other Heavenly Devils. From then on, my Dao Slaying Finger never hit him again.”
When Jiang Xun mentioned this, he felt uncomfortable.
The Dao Slaying Finger was his strongest Divine Power. Relying on this Divine Power, he was invincible and swept across the imperial bloodline, but he could not do anything to the Heavenly Devil.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “In that case, why don’t you cultivate the
Golden Body Art?”
Jiang Xun sighed and said, “I have also cultivated it, but the Golden Body Art seems to lack a profound part. My golden body is not enough to fight against the Heavenly Devil.”
“In that case, do you want to cultivate the real Golden Body Art?”
“Could it be that Senior has the legendary Indestructible Golden Body Technique?”
“No, it’s the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Golden Body Technique!”
“Primordial Chaos?”
Jiang Xun was shocked. He had never heard of this technique. He did not expect there to be another technique above the Indestructible Golden Body Technique.
Then, he thought of something and his expression darkened. He sighed and said, “Even if you teach it to me, I can’t learn it. My health is poor. In fact, I came to look for you because I want to entrust the Jiang Clan to you. Right now, the Jiang Clan can’t find a suitable genius to succeed me. You are the only one who can lead the Jiang Clan. I know I’m being presumptuous. Senior, this descendant really can’t save the Jiang race anymore. I don’t have much time left…”
Speaking of this, he was in a daze.
He even thought how good it would be if Senior had appeared earlier.
However, on second thought, if the Jiang Clan was not facing a life and death crisis, why would Senior come?
“Who says you don’t have much time left? Since I’m here, if I want you to live, you can live!”
Jiang Changsheng said decisively. His unyielding attitude made Jiang Xun tremble and fall into a trance.
Jiang Xun thought back to a long time ago when he met his senior. At that time, he was also in despair.
“Don’t let self-blame crush your heart. In this world, you are always in control of your choices. The Jiang Clan did not fall because of you. The real reason is because of the internal problems in the clan.”
Hearing Jiang Changsheng’s words, Jiang Xun finally could not suppress the suppressed emotions in his heart.
He immediately stood up and walked to the side. He knelt before Jiang Changsheng and wept as he kowtowed.
Over the years, he had always believed that everything was because of him. The guilt had allowed him to last until now. Now that he heard his ancestor say that it was not his fault, his facade was instantly exposed.
At that moment, the Immortal Emperor of the Jiang Clan cried like a child.
Jiang Changsheng did not stop him and allowed him to cry.
“Karma is everywhere. Even if it is an incalculable future, as long as my Dao is still here, karma is still here.”
Jiang Changsheng thought silently. He understood this sentence better. Reflecting the past, present, and future might refer to karma.
He thought of the fourteenth level of the Dao Technique he had obtained when he transcended the tribulation.
The Karma of the Great Dao!
Another thought came to his mind. Perhaps when transcending the tribulation, his consciousness transmigrating into the past and the future was not a part of the heavenly tribulation, but a part of his cultivation.
The reason why he transmigrated to the past and the future was not because he had a mission, but because he was comprehending the past and the future. Every time he encountered karma interference, the experience would end, making him mistakenly think that he had a mission.
As for why he could guide Jiang Xun, it was simple. Jiang Xun had a close karma with him, and the karma between bloodlines was indelible.
Gradually, Jiang Changsheng showed signs of comprehending the Dao until Jiang Xun woke him up.
“Senior, when can I start cultivating the Primordial Chaos Indestructible
Golden Body Technique?”
Jiang Xun had already adjusted his emotions, and his eyes were filled with vigor. He could not wait to cultivate the Primordial Chaos Indestructible
Golden Body Technique and defeat the Heavenly Devil.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Right now.”
Soon after, he began to explain the mental cultivation method of the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Golden Body Technique. As he did not have the cultivation of his main body, he could not directly pull Jiang Xun into a state of enlightenment like when he preached the Dao.
Just like that, Jiang Xun stayed in Jiang Changsheng’s courtyard and began to cultivate the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Golden Body Technique every day.
In the blink of an eye.
Half a year passed.
The Kunlun Immortal came to pay a visit and entered the courtyard. When he saw Jiang Xun, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Jiang Changsheng and Jiang Xun meditating side by side and revealed a smile. He stepped forward and said, “Father, as expected, you’ve taken a fancy to him. I went to look for you, but I didn’t see you. I thought you went out again.”
“Don’t be unbridled. Kneel!”
Jiang Xun berated and opened his eyes. A powerful pressure enveloped the Kunlun Immortal, scaring him so much that he immediately knelt down. He carefully recalled his words and actions just now. He was not at fault! Could it be that her father was still remembering his previous contradiction?
The Kunlun Immortal felt aggrieved.
Jiang Xun followed, “Why aren’t you kowtowing to your ancestor!”
Ancestor?
The Kunlun Immortal looked up but did not see anyone else. His gaze landed on Jiang Changsheng and he was shocked. He carefully asked, “Father, you mean…
“That’s right, it’s him. He’s our ancestor, Jiang Xuannian!”
“What!”
The Kunlun Immortal turned pale with fright. Jiang Changsheng also opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Xun in shock.
Jiang Xun hastily said, “Ancestor, I know that you don’t wish to explain your background, but the Jiang Clan is in imminent danger. I hope to nurture him to become the next clan leader of the Jiang Clan.”
The Kunlun Immortal hastily kowtowed and said in a trembling voice, “I am a mortal with worthless eyes. I did not know that the ancestor had descended. I hope that the ancestor will not blame me.”
Jiang Changsheng opened his mouth and sighed. “Forget it. In any case, I will be leaving soon. Since you are here, you should stay and cultivate the
Primordial Chaos Indestructible Golden Body Technique with me. In the future, you can help your father share the pressure and fight against the Heavenly Devil together.”
Primordial Chaos Indestructible Golden Body Technique?
The Kunlun Immortal was shocked. What ultimate technique was this? One could tell that it was not simple.
As a result, another person cultivated the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Golden Body Technique in the courtyard.
Months passed.
Jiang Changsheng did not waste any time with them. Three years later, when the father and son had completely memorized the essentials of cultivating the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Golden Body Technique, he bade farewell and prepared to leave.
“Where are you going? Are you not waiting for me…” Jiang Xun could not help but ask.
Jiang Changsheng said, “The karma of this body has yet to be repaid. After resolving the karma, I will return.”
The Kunlun Immortal also stood up and looked at Jiang Changsheng nervously.
Even until now, when he thought about it, it was as if he had a dream. The child he watched grow up was actually his ancestor.
When Jiang Xun heard that, he did not dare to ask him to stay any longer. However, he was reluctant to part with him. He suddenly regretted it. If he had come to find his ancestor earlier, he might have been able to spend more time with him.
“Why aren’t you sending me out of this world?”
Jiang Xun immediately came back to his senses. With a wave of his right sleeve, the three of them disappeared from the courtyard.
The next second, they appeared in a forest.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and looked at the Kunlun Immortal. “Oh right, take good care of the four little guys with me. Don’t reveal my background. It’s best if they forget about me.”
The Kunlun Immortal nodded.
Jiang Changsheng turned around and left. Jiang Xun looked at his back and his eyes reddened again. This was the first time the Kunlun Immortal had seen his father acting like a child, and he also felt sad.
Only in front of his ancestor would his unyielding father be like him and reveal his emotions at will.
“One more thing.”
Jiang Changsheng suddenly turned around and stared at Jiang Xun who wanted to say something but hesitated. He smiled and said, “In fact, I am not your ancestor.”
The father and son were stunned.
“I am your ancestor’s ancestor..”
