Xia Weier, Dao Companion

The next day, when Jiang Shuanglan spoke to Xia Weier about it, she was still reluctant to agree, afraid of delaying Jiang Yun and the others.

But after Jiang Yun went to speak 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 paradise this time, but in the mortal city where Xia Weier had grown up.

Something major happened during those ten days: the Demon Emperor's Tomb opened.

Jiang Yun had no intention of joining in the excitement. Naturally, he wanted the Emperor Weapon and Qing Emperor's Heart inside.

But those things were bound to belong to Yan Ruyu.

The incident at Qing Emperor's Tomb, where a group of great cultivators attacked an emperor's tomb, was rather absurd.

If those supreme great cultivators knew that the Qing Emperor was still alive and not far from them—

Who knew what they would think? The Big Dipper had long been suppressed by the Qing Emperor's Great Dao, making some people forget just how high the heavens were and how deep the earth was.

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 visit there.

Xia Weier's adoptive father invited several 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 restore Xia Weier's adoptive father's health, extending his life and ensuring he would remain free of illness.

He likewise did the same for Jiang Shuanglan's parents.

His abilities had been insufficient before, but now that he was a Divine Bridge cultivator, such matters were effortless.

That night, they returned to Jade Cauldron Paradise. The courtyard in the valley was their bridal chamber.

He had not expected Xia Weier to possess not only peerless beauty, but skin as flawless as ice and jade.

Her figure was perfect as well—any more would have been too full, any less too slight. Everything was just right.

The next morning, Jiang Yun awoke with the person before him in his arms.

"Weier, get up. Otherwise, the sun will be high in the sky, and your Sister Lan will laugh at you."

Xia Weier's little face was crimson, like a finely crafted piece of jade.

Jiang Yun could tell she was pretending to sleep and could not resist teasing her.

Xia Weier's face reddened further. Her hands tightly clutched the edge of the blanket, and Jiang Yun could not help taking a bite.

Yet 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 as soon as she saw Jiang Yun emerge.

"Brother Jiang Yun, can Sister Weier sleep with Nannan tonight?"

Xiao Nannan's face was full of anticipation.

Naturally, Jiang Yun refused.

"Nannan is a big girl now. You need to learn to sleep by yourself."

"Okay." Xiao Nannan lowered her head, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"Why won't Sister Weier sleep with Nannan anymore? Brother Jiang Yun is already so grown-up, yet he still makes Sister Weier sleep with him."

Xiao Nannan did not understand and could not figure it out.

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 needed to sleep alone.

Jiang Yun returned to the alchemy room and opened the panel.

Jiang Yun had long suspected that Reflection Points could not be used interchangeably. Sure enough, they could not.

Looking further down, Jiang Yun could not help drawing in a sharp breath. He had truly found a treasure this time.

Although this level of bloodline concentration could not compare to that of an Emperor's Daughter, it should have reached the level of someone within three generations of a Great Emperor.

They had known Xia Weier was talented, but they had never expected her talent to be this astonishing.

There was actually such a dense Taihuang Bloodline within her.

Once her bloodline awakened in the future to the level of an emperor's son or an Emperor's Daughter, 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 the old servant took Xia Weier in, they had been neighbors.

She had once heard Xia Weier's grandfather say that their ancestors came from the Central Plains and belonged to an enormous, illustrious clan.

Her ancestors had been caught up in internal clan struggles, which was why they had left the Central Plains and come to the Eastern Wilderness.

Her surname was Xia, and she came from the Central Plains. Jiang Yun had long suspected it, and today, that suspicion was finally proven.

Xia Weier truly was a descendant of Taihuang. If she had been born in the Great Xia Dynasty—

With merely the bloodline she possessed, she would certainly have become one of the Great Xia Dynasty's brightest jewels.

Unfortunately, her ancestors had gone far from the Eastern Wilderness, leaving her a lost pearl in the vast sea.

If Jiang Shuanglan had not introduced her to cultivation, she would likely have long since sunk into the mortal world.

After generation upon generation of reproduction, Xia Weier's ancestors had long lost their cultivator heritage.

Such things were not unusual within aristocratic clans and imperial dynasties.

They had too many clansmen. There would always be extraordinary talents who went undiscovered.

Xiao Tingting and Xia Weier were definitely not isolated cases. Perhaps quite a few people with special physiques had 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 even more boundless. Cultivation was not a luxury everyone could access.

Jiang Yun was tremendously excited. Taihuang had been a legendary figure.

He had once walked the mortal world, comparable to a god. Even among the Great Emperors throughout history, he had not been an obscure existence.

Some said he could defy the heavens and slay immortals, a peerless figure of incredible power.

Back then, his offensive power had made heaven and earth tremble. He was unmatched in the world; once Imperial Dragon Qi emerged, no one in heaven or earth could contend with it.

Taihuang had overlooked the world, leaving behind an indelible mark of glory in the ancient history of humanity!

He attained the Dao before the Ancient Era, then founded the Great Xia Dynasty, one of the four immortal divine dynasties of the Central Plains. It was among the oldest and most terrifying supreme powers.

The "Taihuang Scripture" was an invincible ancient scripture! Its offensive chapter, Imperial Dragon Qi, was unparalleled in attack. In terms of pure offense, it ranked among the very best of all Great Emperors throughout history.

The Dragon Transformation Chapter was recognized as the strongest among all emperor scriptures.

In his later years, Taihuang had been a perfectionist and revised the "Taihuang Scripture." In the end, he left behind an imprint of the Great Dao within the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree Coffin.

Taihuang, an awe-inspiring ancient Great Emperor, had personally founded an immortal divine dynasty, ruled over millions of miles of territory, and stood invincible beneath heaven and above earth—one of the strongest figures since ancient times!

He stole the Undying Heavenly Emperor's coffin lid.

In his old age, he forced his way onto the Immortal Road but failed, and his life ended after the Undying Heavenly Emperor ambushed him.

Yet for a Great Emperor, the Immortal Road was far too illusory. One needed the right time and the right place to enter it.

But even knowing the Immortal Road was illusory, one could only charge forward with all one's might.
