A Wife Fell from the Sky!

Six Kings Mountain, Divine Firmament Peak.

Shi Jian sat cross-legged on the summit.

The blood rain had stopped, and the sky returned to its original gray hue; a dense aura of Dao of Lightning surged continuously from the three surrounding thunder peaks, washing away the remaining hidden injuries within his body.

He took out the Nine Flames Ridge-Suppressing Pagoda and hung it in front of him.

The dark red tower, illuminated by the purple-gold lightning, emitted an eerie dark glow; Shi Jian probed into it with his Divine Sense, carefully sensing the tower's internal structure.

A nine-story pagoda, with nine kinds of true fire.

The Blazing Fire Lion King detonated most of it, but the array patterns and restrictions on the tower itself remained intact. Although Shi Jian could not understand the ancient demonic scripts engraved on the tower walls, he could feel the intense Daoist energy contained within them, which was far beyond what a Nascent Soul could inscribe.

This tower must have been crafted by at least a Nascent Spirit Transformation.

Shi Jian had made up his mind.

The Nine Flames Ridge-Suppressing Pagoda, as its name suggests, is a powerful treasure for suppressing mountains and locking in their energy. If it is refined and then placed into a spiritual mountain within the Six Kings Mountain...

Not only can it greatly enhance the defensive restrictions within the territory, but it can also use the remaining Fire Dao elemental essence within the tower to modify the attributes of a spiritual mountain.

Forge an alliance, and the Fire Blade Path will be a treasure trove!

He immediately stood up, his gaze falling upon the six main peaks of Six Kings Mountain.

The three original barren sacred mountains, though rich in spiritual energy, were also the most mixed and of uncertain nature; the three moved Thunder Peaks were all blessed lands of the Thunder Dao.

If one wants to place the spirit mountain into the Nine Flames Ridge-Suppressing Pagoda, one must naturally choose a spirit mountain without any elemental affinities.

Shi Jian stepped into the void, his feet flashing with purple-gold lightning; in an instant, he landed on the summit of the southernmost desolate mountain among the six peaks.

This peak is the most barren, with a rather mixed Spiritual Qi, making it a good place to create a treasure land; it can be modified at will.

This is it.

Shi Jian up the tower with one hand and plunged the other hand into the ground.

Immortal Foundation circulated, his Divine Sense spread along the earth's veins, probing the entire mountain's structure and contours; then, he gently tossed the Nine Flames Ridge-Suppressing Pagoda.

The dark red pagoda swelled in the wind, growing to hundreds of feet tall, before crashing into the center of the peak; its body disappeared into the rock strata, leaving a trail of broken rocks that pierced through the air, reaching the core of the mountain.

Shi Jian Hand Seals, and the Purple Pivot Lightning shot into the ground, following the earth's veins.

The remaining Fire Dao source of the Nine Flames Ridge-Suppressing Pagoda was forcibly merged with the earth vein and Spirit Vein hub of this sacred mountain.

"Boom!!"

The entire mountain trembled violently, and dark red patterns began to appear on the surface of the gray-black rock layers, as if magma was flowing inside the mountain.

The surface temperature rose sharply, and wisps of scorching heat rose from the originally dry rock crevices; in just a few hours, this barren mountain was completely transformed.

The mountain was as red as a branding iron, and fire-attribute Spiritual Qi surged continuously from the ground; although it was not as profound as Thunderclap Valley, it could still be considered a mid-grade Fire Dao Blessed Land.

Shi Jian withdrew his hand and slowly stood up.

The six main peaks, three of which are associated with thunder and one with fire, and two without any zodiac sign, form a triangular arrangement.

He looked around, secretly calculating in his mind. "With this layout, even an ordinary Nascent Soul Late Stage wouldn't be able to break through easily."

"In the future, we could find some bears to train a group of Fire Dao bear demons as subordinates; or we could find some fire-attribute Demon Beast to raise here, thus providing another avenue for refining Dao Pill."

"If we nurture it properly in the future, we can sell its life-giving core to those Nascent Soul the Fire Dao realm; we might even make a profit and exchange it for some necessary spiritual materials..."

After much deliberation, Shi Jian returned to Divine Firmament Peak, intending to enter his cave abode for seclusion.

Suddenly, a deep horn sounded from the northern horizon.

The horn sounded desolate and heavy, yet it exuded a primitive Savage Wilderness charm, clearly audible from thousands of miles away.

Shi Jian paused, then turned to look.

The clouds in the sky were torn apart by an extremely powerful aura; a bone ship, its entire body pieced together from the bones of a giant beast, slowly sailed out from the crack in the clouds.

The bone ship was thousands of feet long, its hull gleaming with a faint white light; dozens of animal skin flags hung on its sides, fluttering in the wind.

On the largest flag at the bow of the ship, a huge totem was prominently engraved.

It was a giant bear perched atop the mountain, majestic and imposing.

[Mountain Bear] Totem.

The banner of the Giant Bear Clan.

On the bone ship, several Nascent Soul auras flowed faintly, among which the most powerful aura had actually reached the Nascent Soul Perfection!

Shi Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, gripping the Thunder Spear tightly in his hand.

"The Giant Bear Clan actually possesses such abilities in refining objects? What are they doing here?"

The bone ship pressed down, the gale-force winds sharp as blades.

Shi Jian stood atop Divine Firmament Peak, holding a thunder spear, with purple-gold lightning swirling slightly across his body. He narrowed his eyes and extended his Divine Sense, instantly discerning the aura emanating from the bone ship.

Four Nascent Soul.

The one at the head possessed the most profound aura, having reached the Nascent Soul Perfection stage.

"The banner of the Giant Bear Clan... the Mountain Bear Totem."

Shi Jian pondered in his heart that among the seven main lineages, the ancestor of the Savage Sha Lineage, Xiong Sha, had brought him into the Beast Realm and bestowed upon him the fiefdom of the Three Kings Mountain.

What is this Mountain Bear Lineage up to now?

The bone ship hovered slowly above Six Kings Mountain, its animal bone hinges creaking dully.

Several Nascent Soul released their pressure simultaneously, enveloping Six Kings Mountain; the group of Golden Core Demon General below were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, not daring to lift their heads, and peered at the Demon King.

On the bow deck, the old bear, who had reached the Nascent Soul Perfection, stepped out first. Its body was as imposing as an iron tower, and its bronze-colored fur remained motionless in the wind.

He glanced down at Shi Jian, then stepped aside, his eyes lowered.

Immediately afterwards, a figure stepped out from the bow of the ship.

He wore a bright yellow robe and a gold-threaded animal-patterned belt around his waist.

Her jet-black hair was tied up high with a gold ring, revealing an extremely cold and beautiful face; her eyes were long and narrow, her nose was straight, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and her chin was slightly raised, giving her a heroic and noble appearance.

He exuded an innate arrogance from head to toe.

Moreover, it possesses the aura of Nascent Soul Late Stage!

The woman stood at the bow of the ship, looking down at Six Kings Mountain; her gaze swept over the several barren plains ravaged by lightning and fire, and over the volcano that had just been imprisoned in a pagoda, its rock strata still radiating a dark red light.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, a hint of praise flashing in her eyes at such a tragic situation.

This shows just how ferocious Shi Jian's fighting power was!

Shi Jian remained expressionless, raising his spear and stepping into the air.

The remaining power of the Purple Pivot Lightning circulated silently around him, spreading outwards as if it were a tangible substance, even though he did not release it intentionally.

The accompanying Nascent Soul guards, startled by the thunderous power, couldn't help but change their expressions slightly and exchange glances.

They could clearly see the traces left by the great battle on the wasteland as they flew over.

The lingering aura of the Heaven-Burning Flame, the blood rain trails from the fall of Nascent Soul Late Stage, and the scorched earth stretching for miles, barren of vegetation...

This bear is not to be trifled with!

"So you are Shi Jian?"

The female cultivator in the bright yellow robe spoke, her voice rather cold and clear, carrying a hint of heroism, and an air of superiority that seemed perfectly natural.

"Exactly."

Shi Jian cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, showing neither joy nor sorrow.

The female cultivator looked him up and down, her gaze lingering for a moment on his tattered purple and white robe, her thin lips moving slightly:

"My name is Shan Li, the legitimate daughter of the Mountain Bear Lineage."

Shi Jian remained expressionless, but his mind was racing as he weighed the options.

The Mountain Bear Lineage one of the seven main lineages of the Giant Bear; it stands on equal footing with the Savage Sha Lineage, both being core bloodlines with Spirit Transformation demon immortals as their leaders.

The fact that the legitimate daughter herself has come shows that she is definitely not just visiting casually.

Without further ado, Shan Li took out a dark jade tablet from his sleeve.

The jade tablet hovered in mid-air, and the ancient demonic script engraved on it suddenly lit up; a Spirit Transformation power descended with a roar.

Although not as powerful as the Dao Venerable's suppression of all ages, it was still enough to make all the Nascent Soul Cultivator present shudder and tense up.

"Passed down from the Mountain Bear Lineage, by the ancestral decree."

Shan Li's voice was clear Savage Sha Lineage as he read out each word clearly, "It is truly rare for Shi Jian, a newly promoted member of the Wenman Sha lineage, to have, with his Nascent Soul Middle Stage Nascent Soul cultivation, slay several Nascent Soul Demon King, seize Thunderclap Valley, and defeat the Frenzied Lion's direct lineage."

"I hereby bestow upon you a marriage contract, betrothing Shan Li, the eldest daughter of the Shan Li Mountain Bear Lineage, to Shi Jian; in addition, I bestow upon you one hundred catties of Purple Firmament Golden Lightning Essence, three jars of Ten Thousand Ten-Thousand-Year Lightning Marrow Liquid, five thousand third-grade spirit medicine, and twelve scrolls Jade Slip Dao of Lightning Cultivation Method."

"From this day forward, Shi Jian is incorporated into the Mountain Bear Lineage, enjoying the protection of the mountain range and the responsibility of being dispatched by the clan."

After the decree was read, the divine power of the Spirit Transformation slowly receded.

Shan Li put the jade token away, looking calmly at Shi Jian, waiting for his reaction; yet, there was even a hint of excitement in his eyes?

"Um?"

"Ah?"

Me?

Shi Jian was stunned, his expression tense, as if he was still savoring the moment.

Did a wife fall from the sky?
