Shocking the World

"Jiang Lianyi, one of the Four Emperors of the Heavenly Court, the Antarctic Nirvana Emperor."

When Jiang Lianyi introduced herself, her voice was very soft. The moment she lifted her hood, the entire room fell silent, and Jiang Lianyi's self-introduction was heard clearly.

"The ancient ancestor of the Phoenix Clan?!"

"I'm not seeing things, am I? That's Lord Jiang Lianyi, the ancient ancestor of the Phoenix Clan, one of the two ancestors of the Demon Race!"

"Didn't they say she died? Is she still alive?"

The two high-ranking members of the Nine Nether Sect breathed a sigh of relief. Petrified Bone even waved his hand confidently, saying, "I've said before that I've contacted Young Master Lu, tested him with High Antiquity secret techniques, and verified his identity with lie Law Technique. His identity is genuine!"

"I think it's because Supreme Zhu Tian can't accept defeat that he said that in a fit of anger!"

The entire audience was in an uproar. Not to mention the junior cultivators, even the renowned immortal cultivators couldn't sit still. They stood up from their seats in shock, staring intently at Jiang Lianyi, trying to imprint this scene in their minds.

Even if the human cultivators in the Buddhist Kingdom and the Great Xia had never seen Jiang Lianyi's appearance, they had heard of her great name.

This was a prominent figure in High Antiquity times, far more famous than Zhu Tian. After 300,000 years of historical accumulation, he had become an almost religious figure among the Demon Race.

The Demon Race worships demon immortals, whose appearance is unknown. Jiang Lianyi is someone who commands immense respect and influence within the Demon Race.

The Demon Race reacted even more violently, their brains congested with blood, they were at a loss, incoherent, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

Many Demon Race were moved to tears, kneeling on the ground in excitement, shouting that the immortal had appeared and paying homage to Jiang Lianyi.

Even powerful demon kings showed Jiang Lianyi the same heartfelt respect, kneeling before her and praying for her protection.

It's like a High Antiquity myth has been recreated.

Zhu Tian relied on the power of the nascent Dao Fruit to subdue the Demon Race, while Jiang Lianyi relied on her very existence to make the Demon Race turn against her.

The members of the Demon Race alliance were wavering, unsure which side to take.

The dragon from the East Sea, who was Tribulation Transcendence, rubbed his eyes hard, thinking that his old eyes were failing him and he was hallucinating. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

The old Dragon Emperor felt that the Phoenix Clan was in danger, so he specially sent him here to help them.

Now it seems pointless to offer help. The Phoenix Clan's ancient ancestor is still alive; how could the Phoenix Clan possibly be in trouble? This being is on par with our own ancient ancestor. Without immortals present, who can rival them?

Both the East Sea Dragon Clan and the Demon Realm Dragon Clan's Tribulation Transcendence stages are looking to Jiang Mingzi and the Phoenix Clan, wanting to know if the Phoenix Clan knows of Jiang Lianyi's existence, and whether this is truly the Phoenix Clan's trump card.

Turning my head, I saw Jiang Mingzi crying like a child, wiping away tears and snot.

As the most powerful cultivator in the Phoenix Clan, he is the pillar and backbone of the clan. He has to make decisions on all major matters. Many Demon Race covet the Phoenix Clan's most precious treasures, and if he makes a wrong move, the Phoenix Clan could be plunged into utter ruin. He is under immense pressure.

Zhu Tian's pressure on the Phoenix Clan to take sides put him in a difficult position.

With the return of the ancient ancestor, he finally had someone to rely on, and his burden could finally be lifted.

The Phoenix Clan members were even worse off than Jiang Mingzi; they all cried their eyes out, and some couldn't even maintain their human form, transforming into phoenixes representing the Five Virtues, their cries echoing throughout the Demon City.

As for those younger prodigies, the moment they saw Jiang Lianyi, their minds went blank, and they lost the ability to perceive the outside world.

Only Meng Jingzhou, who had already met Jiang Lianyi, was able to remain sober.

"Damn it, why can't I be standing on the Temple of Heaven and still beat up someone like Zhu Yunwu?"

The two had agreed to return to their sect together to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, Lu Yang, that bastard, broke through at the last minute, making a big splash.

Even the old Taotie sealed inside Kong Hao's body was stunned; the changes in the Demon City were completely beyond his imagination.

He simply wanted to witness the establishment of the demon kingdom and, incidentally, see how his enemies were doing and how things had come to this.

Moreover, a figure as great as the Phoenix Clan's Ancient Ancestor was only one of the "Four Emperors" in the Heavenly Court. Just how terrifying was the power of the High Antiquity Heavenly Court?

The five elders felt slightly relieved to see everyone's reaction. That's right, it wasn't just them who reacted this way when they saw the ancient ancestor of the Phoenix Clan; everyone felt the same way.

The Temple of Heaven was deathly silent.

Of the ten demon emperors, some genuinely submitted to Zhu Tian, while others were controlled by the nascent Dao Fruit. Regardless of their circumstances, upon seeing Jiang Lianyi, they all felt a sense of trepidation, like juniors meeting their elders.

Zhu Tian broke out in a cold sweat.

The current Demon Race doesn't know Jiang Lianyi's identity, but as High Antiquity great demon, how could he not know Jiang Lianyi's identity?

The wife of the Qilin Immortal.

These five words alone are enough to elevate Jiang Lianyi's status to a new level, completely overshadowing him.

Damn it, how did Jiang Lianyi have to show up at such a crucial moment?

If it's a one-on-one fight, Zhu Tian isn't afraid.

He acknowledged that Jiang Lianyi was very strong, ranking among the top tier of half-immortals, but he controlled so many Demon Race, his Dao Fruit was nearly complete, and his strength was comparable.

"Calm down, calm down," Zhu Tian took repeated breaths to calm himself, think about the problem calmly, and organize his thoughts.

Hasn't it already been confirmed? I didn't feel the suppression of the Qilin Immortal Dao Fruit, which means the Qilin Immortal has already fallen. With the establishment of the Demon Kingdom and our strong and well-equipped army, a mere Jiang Lianyi can't cause any trouble.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to use the name of Qilin Immortal to justify his status at the founding ceremony.

"What, don't you recognize me?"

Seeing Zhu Tian lost in thought, Jiang Lianyi sneered without holding back.

Zhu Tian was unwilling to fall out with Jiang Lianyi right now, so he transformed into human form, cupped his hands, and smiled, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Jiang. It's been 300,000 years since we last met, and you still look as dashing as ever."

"But I've never heard of the Heavenly Court. When did you join it, fellow Daoist?"

Zhu Tian wants to control the Phoenix Clan, not only using them as pawns, but also undoubtedly coveting the treasures he left for them.

Under these circumstances, how could Jiang Lianyi possibly give Zhu Tian any face?

Do I need to report to you when I joined the Heavenly Court?

"Don't even mention you, even the Qilin Immortal wouldn't dare to meddle with me like this!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, the crowd below erupted into another heated discussion, their expressions excited. This was the unveiling of a layer of High Antiquity mystery in front of everyone!

"The High Antiquity Heavenly Court really existed!"

"How come I've never heard of it? When I read about the Heavenly Court in books, I thought it was just something High Antiquity immortals wrote for fun."

"You know nothing! The immortal is far-sighted and has his own considerations. How could he have written it for fun? You dullard!"

"This Young Master Lu is truly the number one genius of High Antiquity times; no wonder he was able to defeat Zhu Yunwu."

"Did you hear Lord Jiang's introduction? She is one of the Four Emperors of Heaven. There must be people above her, such as the Lord of Heaven, Dou Tianzun."

"Young Master Lu is a disciple of the Bean Celestial Venerable, a disciple of an immortal!"

Everyone marveled at Young Master Lu's talent, and also at his luck.

You have a good mentor.

Zhu Tian frowned. "Just what is this Heavenly Court...?"

Jiang Lianyi's lips curled into a mocking smile as she looked down at Zhu Tian: "The Heavenly Court is an existence known only to immortals, and it concerns the secrets of immortals. Non-Self weren't the wife of the Qilin Immortal, I wouldn't be qualified to know."

"As for you, do you think you're qualified?"
