The next day, when Jiang Shuanglan went to speak with Xia Weier, she was still reluctant to agree, afraid of delaying Jiang Yun and the others.
But after Jiang Yun went over and discussed a few things with Xia Weier, she ultimately agreed, her face flushed red.
The Dao companion ceremony was still set for ten days later. It would not be held within the Heavenly Cave, but in the mortal city where Xia Weier had grown up.
A major event took place during those ten days: the Demon Emperor's Tomb opened.
Jiang Yun had no intention of joining the commotion. Though he certainly wanted the Emperor Weapon and Emperor Qing's Heart inside,
those things were destined to belong to Yan Ruyu.
The incident at Emperor Qing's Tomb, where a group of Great Abilities attacked an Emperor Tomb, was simply too absurd.
If those peak Great Abilities learned that Emperor Qing was still alive and was not far from them,
who knew what they would think? Emperor Qing's Grand Dao had suppressed the Big Dipper for so long that some people no longer knew the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth.
Thus, on the day of the ceremony, they returned to the mortal city where Xia Weier had once lived. It was Jiang Yun's second time there.
Xia Weier's adoptive father invited some relatives and friends, and everyone gathered together.
Following Xia Weier's wishes, they held a simple Dao companion ceremony.
Jiang Yun used Divine Spring Fluid to improve Xia Weier's adoptive father's health, allowing him to live longer and remain free of illness.
He likewise did the same for Jiang Shuanglan's parents.
Previously, Jiang Yun had not been capable enough. Now that he was a Divine Bridge cultivator, such matters were naturally effortless for him.
That night, they returned to Jade Cauldron Paradise. The courtyard in the valley was their bridal chamber.
He had not expected that Xia Weier possessed not only peerless beauty, but skin as flawless as ice and jade.
Her figure was perfect as well—any fuller would be too much, any slimmer too little. Everything was just right.
The next morning, Jiang Yun woke up with the beauty in his arms.
"Wei'er, get up. Otherwise, the sun will be high in the sky, and your sister Lan'er will laugh at you."
Xia Weier's little face was crimson, like a finely carved piece of jade.
Jiang Yun could tell that she was pretending to sleep and could not help teasing her.
Xia Weier's face turned even redder, and her hands tightly clutched the corner of the blanket. Jiang Yun could not resist taking a bite.
But Xia Weier continued pretending, leaving Jiang Yun with no choice but to head outside first.
In the courtyard, Xiao Nannan seemed to have been waiting for something. Her eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Yun emerge.
"Brother Jiang Yun, can Sister Wei'er sleep with Nannan tonight?"
Seeing the expectant expression on Xiao Nannan's face,
Jiang Yun naturally refused.
"Nannan is a big girl now. You need to learn to sleep by yourself."
"Alright." Xiao Nannan lowered her head sadly.
"Why won't Sister Wei'er sleep with Nannan anymore? Brother Jiang Yun is already so grown up, yet he still makes Sister Wei'er sleep with him."
Xiao Nannan did not understand and could not make sense of it.
Jiang Yun had no way to explain this.
Xiao Nannan had always slept in Xia Weier's room before, but now that the two had become Dao companions,
Xiao Nannan naturally had to sleep alone.
Jiang Yun returned to the alchemy room and opened the panel.
[Panel] Realm: Divine Bridge cultivator Physique: Divine Physique 27.43% (Sacred Physique 1.93%) Bloodline: Hengyu Bloodline (1%) Taihuang Bloodline (1%) Cultivation Techniques: "Dao Scripture," "Solar Scripture," "Nine Secrets: Zhe" Reflection Points: 1 (Hengyu) 2 (Taihuang) Source Space: 150*150*150 Dao Companions: Jiang Shuanglan (Hengyu Bloodline 3.25%, Divine Physique 10.77%) Favorability 92 Xia Weier (Taihuang Bloodline 63.5%) Favorability 83 Marks: 18 Descendant Bonus: None
Jiang Yun had long suspected that Reflection Points could not be used universally, and sure enough, he had been right.
When he looked further down, Jiang Yun could not help drawing in a sharp breath. He had truly found a treasure this time.
Though such bloodline concentration could not compare to an Emperor's Daughter, it should still be equivalent to within three generations of a Great Emperor's bloodline.
Jiang Yun and Jiang Shuanglan had previously felt that Xia Weier was talented, but they had never expected her talent to be so extraordinary.
She actually possessed such a dense Taihuang Bloodline within her.
Once her bloodline awakened to the level of an Emperor's Son or Emperor's Daughter in the future, Xia Weier was guaranteed to become a quasi-emperor at the very least.
Xia Weier was the adopted daughter of an old servant from Jiang Shuanglan's family. Before that old servant took Xia Weier in, they had been neighbors.
Xia Weier's grandfather had once mentioned that her ancestors came from the Central Plains and belonged to an immensely powerful and distinguished family.
Her ancestors had been caught up in the family's internal strife, which was why they had fled the Central Plains and come to the Eastern Wilderness.
Her surname was Xia, and she came from the Central Plains. Jiang Yun had long harbored a suspicion, and today, it was finally proven.
Xia Weier truly was Taihuang's descendant. If she had been born in the Great Xia Dynasty,
then with this bloodline alone, she would certainly have become one of the Great Xia Dynasty's shining pearls.
Unfortunately, her ancestors had fled to the Eastern Wilderness, and she had become a lost pearl in the vast sea.
Had Jiang Shuanglan not guided her onto the path of cultivation, she likely would have long since sunk into the mortal world.
After generations of reproduction, Xia Weier's ancestors had long lost their cultivator inheritance.
Such things were not unusual among great clans and imperial dynasties.
They had too many clansmen; there would always be some exceptionally gifted individuals who went undiscovered.
Xiao Tingting and Xia Weier were definitely not unique cases. Many people with special physiques may have embarked upon the path of cultivation,
but there were also many who remained undiscovered in the mortal world. The Big Dipper was too vast, and the universe too boundless. Cultivation was not a luxury everyone could come into contact with.
Jiang Yun was immensely excited. Taihuang had been a legendary figure.
He had once walked the Human World, comparable to a deity. Even among the Great Emperors throughout history, he had not been an insignificant figure.
Some said he could fight immortals in reverse, a peerless and remarkable existence.
Back then, his offensive power had made heaven and earth tremble. He was unmatched beneath the heavens; once Imperial Dragon Qi emerged, no one in heaven or earth could contend with it.
Taihuang had looked down upon the world, leaving an indelible and glorious mark upon the ancient history of the Human Race!
He attained the Dao before the Ancient Era. Afterward, he founded the Great Xia Dynasty, one of the four immortal divine dynasties of the Central Plains—one of the oldest and most terrifying top powers.
The "Taihuang Scripture" was an invincible ancient scripture! Its offensive chapter, Imperial Dragon Qi, possessed unparalleled attacking power. In terms of offense alone, it ranked among the very best of all Great Emperors throughout history.
Its Dragon Transformation Chapter was publicly acknowledged as the strongest among all Emperor Scriptures.
In his later years, Taihuang had been exceedingly meticulous and revised the "Taihuang Scripture." In the end, he left behind an imprint of the Grand Dao within the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree Coffin.
Taihuang, a revered ancient Great Emperor, had personally established an immortal divine dynasty, ruled over millions of miles of land, and stood invincible in heaven and earth—one of the strongest beings since ancient times!
He stole Undying Heavenly Emperor's coffin lid.
With his aged body, he forcefully entered the Immortal Road but failed, ending his life after being ambushed by Undying Heavenly Emperor.
However, for a Great Emperor, the Immortal Road was far too illusory. One needed the right time and the right place to enter it.
Yet even knowing the Immortal Road was illusory, they could only charge forward with all their might.
