"What are you yelling about!"

Just as Ye Fan was going crazy, a dazzling Divine Ring unfolded, Zhou Tong entered the tenth level of the Fire Domain Fire Domain the ninth level once again.

"You're finally back!" Ye Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, I'm back!"

Zhou Tong nodded. "There's nothing urgent going on, so let's go to the Northern Region together! I promised you before that I'd cover the source you need to advance to the fifth level of the Dao Palace Realm! I've already used up some of my source on previous matters, so I'll take you to the Northern Region to find some more."

"The Mysterious Jade Platform you carved shouldn't be enough to cross the Northern Region, right?" Ye Fan asked curiously.

"It's the materials that are inadequate, not the Mysterious Jade Platform I carved. But we don't need to use the Mysterious Jade Platform. I have my own way of passing through the Domain Gate of the Desolate Ancient Jiang Family!" Zhou Tong said softly.

"The Jiang Family!?"

Ye Fan was very interested and looked at Zhou Tong suspiciously.

"Zhou Tong, you possess the ancient scriptures of the Jiang Family and can even pass through the Jiang Family's Domain Gate. Confess honestly, have you seduced a fairy from the Jiang Family?" Ye Fan's gossipy nature was piqued.

"What nonsense are you spouting! I once saved a big shot from the Jiang Family, so I have a Jiang Family token and can visit Jiang Family anytime. Using their Domain Gate is a piece of cake!" Zhou Tong said calmly.

"A big shot from the Jiang Family?" Ye Fan's interest was piqued. "Could it be the Jiang Family Patriarch?"

"A little bigger than the Jiang Family Patriarch!" Zhou Tong casually replied. "Never mind that, just come with me!"

Zhou Tong quickly led Ye Fan to one of the Jiang Family's residences. He casually flashed the Jiang Family's token and easily had the Jiang Family open the Domain Gate to the Northern Region.

However, Zhou Tong and Ye Fan were immediately shocked when they came out.

Opposite the Domain Gate was not the vast mountains and rivers of the Northern Region, but a garden, where five or six powerful figures were watching Zhou Tong and Ye Fan.

"Holy crap, you crashed! Are they here to arrest us?" Ye Fan was also frightened by this situation and sent a telepathic message to Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan, signaling him to be quiet, then looked at the old man at the front and asked, "May I ask what brings you gentlemen here?"

"I am Jiang Yun, a descendant of the Divine King!" The old man looked at Zhou Tong and asked, "May I ask where you got the token in your hand, young friend?"

"Has the Divine King not returned to the Jiang Family yet?" Zhou Tong was also somewhat surprised. Jiang Taixu had been freed for many years, yet he was still wandering around outside, and the Jiang Family didn't know anything about him.

"Young friend, do you know where the Divine King is?" Jiang Yun asked excitedly.

Zhou Tong shook his head and said, "Several years ago, I encountered the Divine King in a perilous place and finally rescued him at a great cost; as for where the Divine King -Divine King went after escaping, I don't know. Perhaps you could go to the Wan Chu Holy Land and ask Fairy Caiyun..."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Divine King didn't return; he probably went to see Fairy Caiyun."

Zhou Tong's words immediately startled all the elders.

"What! More than four thousand years, almost five thousand years, and Fairy Caiyun is still alive?"

"Is Fairy Caiyun, who was once the Divine King's confidante, still alive?"

"Is this really true?" A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes.

"This is just my guess. As for where the Divine King went, I can't say for sure!" Zhou Tong shook his head. He dared not guarantee that Jiang Taixu had gone to see Fairy Caiyun.

You should know that the people in front of you are descendants of Jiang Taixu. If you rashly mention Fairy Caiyun, you might offend some taboo of theirs.

Jiang Taixu and Fairy Caiyun were a match made in heaven, but in the end, Fairy Caiyun could not marry Jiang Taixu because of the rules of the Wan Chu Holy Land, and she regretted it for the rest of her life.

The descendants of Jiang Taixu are all children born to Jiang Taixu's later wives. Who knows what their attitude is towards Fairy Caiyun?

The Jiang Family will not allow the divine bloodline to die out. After Jiang Taixu and Fairy Caiyun becomes impossible, they will definitely arrange a marriage for him to pass on the divine bloodline.

There are countless intricacies and hidden schemes within such large families!

The Ji Family is a little better off, as the patriarch's lineage is also of Divine Blood Lineage, so the internal struggles are somewhat less intense. Even so, Zhou Tong, Ye Fan, and Ji Ziyue witnessed the internal strife within the Ji Family when they were together.

As for the Jiang Family, the Divine Blood Lineage is independent of the patriarch's lineage, making internal struggles within the Jiang Family even more intense and brutal. Some members of their family were even forced to leave and become members of the Thirteen Great Bandits of the Northern Region.

It's likely that Jiang Taixu didn't want to get involved in the family's internal struggles, which is why he didn't return to the Jiang Family after escaping from Purple Mountain.

In the original novel, Jiang Taixu was similar; he rarely returned to his family and always wandered around alone. It's certain that his family did many things that wronged him.

The power struggles within family factions are the easiest way to offend the family's elite, causing discord and division within the family. It's unclear what the Jiang Family was thinking when they decided to create two separate branches.

"Whether it is or not, let's go to the Wan Chu Holy Land and ask first!" Jiang Yun immediately ordered an old man standing to the side.

The old man immediately left.

Jiang Yun then smiled and said, "You two young friends have come from afar. Why don't you come inside and rest for a while, so that we can fulfill our duty as hosts?"

Zhou Tong shook his head and said, "No need. We never planned to stay at the Jiang Family any longer. We've already told you about the Divine King, so we should take our leave." With that, Zhou Tong led Ye Fan out.

However, after the two had only taken a few steps, an old man suddenly blocked their way.

"Gentlemen, what is the meaning of this?" Zhou Tong asked.

"Please, young men, go back inside and rest for a while," the old man blocking the way said calmly.

"What if I say no?" Zhou Tong looked at the old man, his voice turning cold.

"Please, young men, go back inside and rest for a while," the old man blocking the way said again.

He was fearless, confident in his abilities. He was a powerful being, and blocking a mere cultivator from the Four Extremities Realm was no problem at all. He didn't bother to say anything more, simply standing quietly in front of the two, making his stance clear.

Zhou Tong glanced at Jiang Yun, a flash of Killing Intent in his eyes, and said, "Do you know that since I entered the cultivation world, no one has ever dared to force me like this, not even Jiang Taixu has ever spoken to me in this manner."

Although the Phoenix Spirit Body is in a dangerous state, if it really comes down to a fight, Zhou Tong isn't afraid of even Imperial Weapon. At worst, he can sacrifice the Phoenix Spirit Body; after all, a new one can be conceived afterward.

Once the Immortal Fire within the Phoenix Spirit Body erupts at full power, it will absolutely unleash Emperor-level power. Although it's only a single strike, if executed well, it could completely annihilate the Jiang Family's headquarters in one blow.

"Young brother, we just want to confirm the information of the Divine King Ancestor. You two young friends, please feel free to stay here. All the resources for your cultivation will be provided by our Jiang Family!" Jiang Yun's face was still full of smiles, as if everything that was happening before him was just out of goodwill.

But he was cursing under his breath.

You, a mere cultivator at the Four Extremities Realm, dare to display Killing Intent in front of a large group of powerful beings like us?

However, he didn't dare to push too hard, because he couldn't be sure of the relationship between Jiang Taixu and Zhou Tong. If, because of him, their originally close relationship turned into mortal enemies, then things would be troublesome.

If Jiang Taixu were to return and find out what they had done, they would all be in deep trouble. After all, in Zhou Tong's description, he was Jiang Taixu's savior!

"Oh?"

Zhou Tong raised an eyebrow, then smiled slightly, "Is this really true?"

"Of course I wouldn't deceive you, young friend!" Jiang Yun smiled slightly.

"Let's double-check!" Zhou Tong said, casually making a record of the Array Patterns.

Seeing how cautious Zhou Tong was, the rest of the Jiang Family laughed.

How many resources are needed to supply a cultivator in the Four Extremities Realm and a cultivator in the Other Shore Realm?

Even if they both break through, one to the Dragon Transformation Realm and the other to the Dao Palace Realm, it won't require many resources.

"Let me make it clear beforehand, my brother's cultivation in the Dao Palace Realm and his breakthrough to the Four Extremities Realm will require a lot of resources, you know? Is your Jiang Family really willing to provide them?" Zhou Tong looked at Jiang Yun with a smile.

"No problem!" Jiang Yun smiled and assured him, "Our Jiang Family will supply all the resources this young man needs in the Other Shore Realm, the Dao Palace Realm, and even in the future to break through to the Four Extremities Realm!"

"That's good!"

Zhou Tong immediately laughed, then looked at Ye Fan beside him. "Now you have the cultivation resources for the Dao Palace Realm and the breakthrough to the Four Extremities Realm. Aren't you going to thank these seniors for their generosity?"
