"This... how could this be? How is this different from the illusion of the Human Immortal Tribulation!"
"I remember in the illusion, wasn't it I who touched this Emperor's legacy?!"
" Brother Ye, what happened to him..."
"He touched it, could it mean the inheritance is now his?"
"Although it's fine for Brother Ye to inherit the legacy, given his character, he would surely achieve great things and protect me throughout my life, but..."
"But this should have been mine!"
"That's right, Ji Wan, have you forgotten? Have you forgotten what vows you made?"
Even if Ye Chenfeng obtains this inheritance and achieves success in the future, what does that have to do with you?
Are you really content to spend your whole life hiding behind others, fading into obscurity?!
Standing behind Ye Chenfeng.
Watching Ye Chenfeng slowly reach out and touch the spiritual fruit that represented the Great Emperor's inheritance.
Her gaze shifted several times within a single breath.
From shock to hesitation, then to doubt, it slowly transformed into a blood-red obsession.
"No!"
With a cold shout, Ji Wan raised her hand and summoned Immortal Method.
It was aimed at Ye Chenfeng, who was completely unprepared.
This blow wouldn't be considered fatal for a Heavenly Immortal being.
Ji Wan had no intention of killing Ye Chenfeng.
She only wanted to push the other person away so that she could inherit the legacy.
They could just find any excuse to brush Ye Chenfeng off.
But to everyone's surprise, the moment the spell changed, Ji Wan's gaze became even more sharp.
What was originally just Immortal Method to repel people has become increasingly deadly.
It demonstrates true deterrence.
Completely unprepared, Ye Chenfeng had no idea what was happening.
Before I could react, a sudden, unpleasant gust of wind swept over the back of my head.
Immediately afterwards, his physical body turned to ashes.
The immortal sword that protected its master lay broken to one side.
The immortal soul was on the verge of disintegration.
In the the Unseen, all that could be seen Ji Wan resolutely reaching out to touch the inherited spiritual fruit.
" Ji Wan!"
Why did you betray me?!
"No!!!"
Amidst his furious roar, Ye Chenfeng's immortal soul nearly dissipated.
As for Ji Wan, whom he mentioned, she didn't even turn her head as she began to comprehend the Great Emperor's inheritance.
He simply drifted helplessly in the air.
"Bang!"
Inside the magnificent hall, the scene conjured by Immortal Power before Ji Wan was shattered by her single thought.
Obviously, even after so much time has passed.
Recalling the past once again still made Ji Wan unable to remain calm and composed.
Or perhaps, she didn't even know what she was angry about.
Was it anger at my past self?
Or something else?
The main hall was silent.
Ji Wan's three-headed glazed body exuded an endless, icy pressure.
After a long while, a faint sigh was heard.
"Why..."
"If I had known this would happen, I would have completely purified him back then..."
Amidst the cold, merciless sighs.
Ji Wan's mood remained normal, showing no signs of anything strange.
He reverted to his aloof and superior demeanor.
He spoke indifferently into the void of the main hall.
"Disseminate this to all corners of my Jade Balance Immortal Court, and initiate Imperial Discourse."
"All immortal realms and sects along the route, as well as the dispatching of their transmission arrays, shall be temporarily placed under the Immortal Court."
"Those who disobey will be eliminated; this Imperial Discourse shall be issued... a hundred years from now!"
A hundred years is a short time, almost meaningless, for immortals.
For a major overhaul, there might still be some traces left.
But for minor repairs, or even for ordinary people...
A hundred years can bring about earth-shattering changes.
It could be the dawn of a brand new era.
It could be an unprecedented golden age appearing on earth.
This Great Xia spanned three...
Nearly three hundred years after Lu Li returned from his travels in the Immortal Realm.
The Great Xia has undergone another 'evolution'!
Great Desolation Heaven, Great Xia Dao Court.
The Milky Way Galaxy, Blue Star Saint Region, the East Sea Third Floating Residential District.
The gate of the old-fashioned hovercraft sprang open with a hiss.
Fifteen-year-old high school student Zhang Xiaoman clutched a flat, black box in her hand.
I quickly squeezed off the platform against the flow of people during the evening rush hour.
The box wasn't big.
The surface is stamped with an anti-counterfeiting sealing wax seal produced by the Great Xia Spirit Machinery Industry General Administration.
There is a gold serial number laser-engraved in the lower right corner.
CN-EARTH-28000000000.
A total of 28 billion.
This is a commemorative edition of the 28 billionth unit of the tenth generation holographic login Spirit Machinery Bracelet produced by the Great Xia Dynasty.
To snag this limited edition...
He spent three months continuously posting on the official website of the Spirit Machinery Industry General Administration.
In the end, I had to borrow an employee number and an internal quota from my second uncle, who worked as a quality inspector at the rune assembly plant, to barely manage to snatch it away.
"Mom, I'm home."
"Huh? Nobody's here!"
Zhang Xiaoman pushed open the security door of her apartment building and locked the latch behind her.
There was no one inside.
A spiritual message was left on the coffee table: Mother had gone to the community's Spirit Plant greenhouse to work overtime catalyzing the third-stage spiritual grains and hadn't returned yet.
Several empty liquid canisters were lying on the sofa.
The projection screen above the coffee table was still displaying the evening news from the entire Dao Court region.
A pretty, outsourced female anchor was wearing a thin, form-fitting, seamless Daoist robe.
They broadcast the hottest news from various planets and even interstellar cities in a sweet, cloying voice.
Good evening, fellow cultivators!
"Now, let's broadcast today's hot topics across the entire Great Xia Dao Court."
"The expansion of the Seventh Star Port's Heavenly Dao is complete, reducing the commute from Blue Star to Mars to just half an hour, officially ending the era of ship traffic jams!"
"A wild Tier 5 spirit eel has been spotted in the floating area of the East Sea, biting three Nascent Soul fishermen before escaping."
" The Dao Court reminds everyone that fishing is risky; please cast your line with caution..."
Zhang Xiaoman didn't have time to look at the trending news on the screen.
He threw his backpack aside, kicked off his shoes, collapsed onto the sofa, and used a knife to cut open the seal on the box.
The metal box lid pops open.
Inside lay a silver-white metal ring, lying quietly.
The surface of the metal ring has no extra patterns.
It has only seven top-grade Spirit Stone, each the size of a pinhead, embedded in its array.
This thing is called the Divine Soul Mapping Spatial Anchor.
Commonly known as the Spirit Machinery Bracelet," it is a login terminal for accessing the " Virtual Universe."
Two hundred years ago.
This thing is an internal Spirit Machinery that only a very small number of high-level cultivators in the outskirts of Beijing can use.
Nowadays, it has long been a standard accessory for everyone in the Great Xia.
Even the old lady selling scallions at the market is wearing a low-end version on her wrist.
Zhang Xiaoman fastened the bracelet to her left wrist, and the clasp closed automatically.
"Click!"
A soft sound reached my ears.
Two tiny, guiding needles emerged from inside the Spirit Machinery Bracelet.
Gently puncture the subcutaneous capillaries.
"Bite!"
"Identity verification complete."
