Chapter 240: Jiang Wuyou

Yin Qingcheng couldn’t accept it.

Why is this happening?

Why is this happening?

The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor, a weak little guy in the First Heaven, someone who was killed by Lu Ye!

She had directly refined him with the *Forgetful Immortal Scripture*, but that power shrugged her off like she was nothing, forcefully attaching itself to her soul and taking over.

It felt like an absolute rule, giving no chance for anyone to resist.

At this moment, she couldn’t help but feel grateful that she wasn’t Yue Hongling.

If Yue Hongling had to endure such things with her Invincible Dao, Dao itself would probably crack.

Taking a deep breath.

Yin Qingcheng’s palm, for who knows how many times, rested upon the Three-Life Stone.

“Crack, crack, crack…”

The sound of breaking continued.

The entire Three-Life Stone was about to turn to dust; looking at the extent of its destruction, it seemed it could stand at most one more hit.

The Three-Life River Lord was nearly going insane, searching all over for the whereabouts of the Three-Life Stone.

The Three-Life Stone was her life-bound object; if it truly shattered, she would be severely injured. She absolutely wouldn’t allow that to happen.

Who could it be?

Who exactly stole her Three-Life Stone?

The other party had severed the connection between her and the Three-Life Stone with some secret technique, but as the stone broke down more severely, its cries for help became increasingly urgent.

She was almost closing in on the Three-Life Stone.

…

Lu Ye made his way to the next tribulation point.

Within the Emperor’s Banner, Jiang Die’s expression twisted, dense purple energy swirling around her body.

Suddenly, her soul stiffened slightly.

A fragment appeared in Jiang Die’s mind.

Jiang Family!

“Husband, the ancestral elder has returned from beyond the realms; let’s go greet him together.”

Jiang Die’s excited voice rang out.

The ancestral elder of the Jiang Family, named Jiang Wuyou, had once become a Quasi-Emperor and survived a failed tribulation; this spoke volumes about how terrifying he was.

However, ever since he failed that tribulation, he had been missing for a long time.

Now he was finally back.

The Jiang Family would gain yet another exceptional powerhouse, poised to leap to become the top force in the Seventh Heaven.

Actually, many Quasi-Emperors had already managed to enter the Eighth Heaven; it was just that, because of the immense power of the Quasi-Emperor, the guiding force set up by the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens was far too weak, allowing some Quasi-Emperors to forcibly remain in the Seventh Heaven.

This way, it reduced the strength of the Emperor’s tribulation in the Seventh Heaven.

Of course, that was just a rumor.

No one had verified it.

The Jiang Family was already a first-class power in the Seventh Heaven due to possessing two pieces of imperial weaponry.

However, there were also powers that not only possessed imperial weapons but also had Quasi-Emperors.

If a Quasi-Emperor wielded an imperial weapon, the power it unleashed would undoubtedly outperform what any mere emperor could compare to.

Therefore, the return of the Quasi-Emperor was definitely a joyous occasion.

Lu Ye didn’t feel anything particular as he followed Jiang Die.

After such a long time, Jiang Die had worked hard in her cultivation; although she didn’t seem particularly close to him, as if she found it difficult to fully open up, everything else was just fine.

The two arrived at the Great Hall of the Jiang Family.

At the very top.

A tall elder with a head full of white hair and a kind smile looked at the gathered Jiang Family members, filled with joy.

“Hahaha, I’ve finally recovered from my injuries and returned. Seeing so many talents in the Jiang Family truly brings me happiness,” Jiang Wuyou laughed grandly.

“Congratulations, Elder, on your recovery!”

“Hahaha, good! Good! Good!”

Jiang Wuyou waved his hand, and in an instant, radiant light enveloped everyone present, making them all feel warmth as if the Dao had increased by a third.

“This is some initial Dao radiance I stumbled upon; it’s of no use to me, so I give it to you all!”

“Thank you, Elder!”

“May I ask, Elder, will you still be leaving after this return?” Jiang Tianming inquired.

“I will not leave; perhaps in several years, I will attempt to ascend to the position of Great Emperor once more!”

“That’s wonderful!”

Jiang Tianming was overjoyed; the Jiang Family finally had a Quasi-Emperor.

“By the way, Elder, this is Lu Ye, my Jiang Family’s son-in-law. At such a young age, he’s already reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao Realm, and his future is limitless. I’d love to introduce him to you,” Jiang Tianming said with a smile.

Indeed, in the last life, Lu Ye had a pretty good relationship with the Jiang Family.

In this life, the Jiang Family had been completely done in by Lu Ye.

“Not bad, truly young; which Dao are you following?” Jiang Wuyou asked.

“Reporting to Elder, it’s the Invincible Dao!”

Indeed, Lu Ye’s Dao had evolved from the Guarding Dao to the Invincible Dao.

“Invincible Dao? Hahaha, what a fine Invincible Dao!”

Jiang Wuyou laughed heartily.

After that, he lost interest in Lu Ye. Invincible Dao?

The Invincible Dao of an Emperor was the real Invincible Dao; without becoming an Emperor, what’s so invincible about it?

“During my recovery, I gained new insights into the Large Void Technique; it’s quite difficult to cultivate. As the Jiang Family’s strongest divine ability, those who have succeeded in cultivating it are few and far between, which has truly brought shame to our ancestors.”

“So, I diligently researched and finally found a shortcut to mastering the Large Void Technique. Are you all willing to learn?” Jiang Wuyou asked with a smile.

“Elder, is there really a shortcut to mastering the Large Void Technique?” Jiang Tianming suddenly exclaimed with joy.

“Naturally!”

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.

There was a shortcut to the Large Void Technique? He managed to succeed in his cultivation, so how come he didn’t know what the shortcut was?

But he wasn’t in a rush; he would listen first.

Jiang Tianming was still somewhat sensible; he hesitated slightly.

“Elder, it’s not that I don’t trust you. The Large Void Technique is incredibly important and shouldn’t be shared with outsiders. How about we first use the Void Mirror to reflect all around us to prevent eavesdroppers?”

Jiang Wuyou was taken aback.

Then he started to laugh.

“Of course, reflect away!”

Jiang Tianming sighed in relief; it seemed Jiang Wuyou wasn’t faking it.

But he still wanted to verify it.

The Void Mirror was summoned, its clear light bursting forth, enveloping the heavens and the earth.

Everything was reflected in the Void Mirror.

Jiang Wuyou calmly looked into the Void Mirror, and his own image appeared within; there was nothing out of the ordinary.

The Void Mirror then disappeared.

Jiang Tianming felt completely at ease.

“Please pass down the method, Elder!”

“Please pass down the method, Elder!”

The people of the Jiang Family all requested in unison.

“He is not one of my Jiang Family; he can leave,” Jiang Wuyou pointed at Lu Ye and said.

Lu Ye…

“Elder, he has already mastered the Large Void Technique and doesn’t need to leave,” Jiang Die hurriedly said.

Jiang Wuyou raised an eyebrow.

“How could the Jiang Family’s Large Void Technique be passed on to outsiders?”

“Elder, Lu Ye is not an outsider; he’s the son-in-law of the Jiang Family.”

“Elder, indeed, Lu Ye has helped the Jiang Family greatly. He learned the Large Void Technique purely by chance. It should be of no issue for him to stay here, right?” Jiang Tianming also chimed in.

In his opinion, Lu Ye had unlimited potential, and driving him away now would likely create a rift. After all, since he had already learned the Large Void Technique, staying here should be fine.

Jiang Wuyou hesitated for a moment.

Fine, a guy cultivating the Invincible Dao learning the Large Void Technique should be a coincidence; he doubted that the guy could see through his technique!
