Chapter 1 The Jiang Family

The Jiang family, in the hearts of the Northern Region people, was like a clan of gods, their position unshakable, supreme. In this region, in every country, large and small, the deity they worshipped was Emperor Heng Yu.

One can imagine how enormous the Jiang family's influence was in this region, especially since Emperor Heng Yu had already been deified.

The clan was two hundred thousand *li* away from the Divine City, but compared to the vast and boundless Northern Region, this was just a corner. The Jiang family's location, however, was a sacred and pure land. Outside, it was ice-sealed and barren, with heavy snow falling, but inside, it was a vibrant, lush green.

It was a dazzling place, with great mountains suspended in the sky. Each mountain was majestic, as if it had existed since the creation of the world, and this was just the tip of the iceberg.

It was as if there was a divine city that would never fall, standing in the clouds, having gone through the most ancient times, able to exist forever in the world.

However, on this very day, immortal light rippled, breaking through the universe, and five-colored streamers fell, enveloping the heavens and the earth.

"Bold! Who dares to act presumptuously in my Jiang family?!"

"This is Emperor's might? How can there be an Emperor in this era?"

"It's an Emperor weapon, what courage, daring to use an Emperor weapon against my Jiang family!"

Within the Jiang family, many voices arose, all scolding. And deep within the Jiang family, there was also an invisible wave, as if an Emperor had arrived in person, about to reign over the eternal years.

"This seat is escorting the Jiang family's Divine King, Jiang Taixu, back. Is this how the Jiang family treats its guests?" Jiang Xuan's voice echoed in the void, and the five-colored light slowly dissipated, finally revealing Jiang Xuan's figure.

Besides him, there was another figure, thin and gaunt, with even his divine sense on the verge of collapsing.

"Jiang Taixu?"

Some members of the Jiang family were stunned. This name was too ancient. Many members of the Jiang family in this era hardly knew it. However, for the old antiques within the Jiang family, this name was extremely familiar.

In just a few breaths, several auras soared into the sky from within the Jiang family. In the blink of an eye, a group of Jiang family old antiques arrived in the void, and even the current Jiang family Saint Lord was also present.

"Truly… truly the Divine King?!"

"Four thousand years! The Divine King has been missing for four thousand years, and he's still alive!"

"Quick, welcome the Divine King!"

"Prepare divine medicine! Whoever delays will be executed without mercy!"

In an instant, several old antiques spoke one after another. Even those belonging to the Jiang family Saint Lord's lineage did not dare to hesitate in the slightest. The Jiang family had its own methods of identifying the authenticity of Jiang Taixu. Now that it was confirmed, they dared not delay. This was the Jiang family's Divine King, who once shook the Eastern Wilderness!

Who would dare to delay in this matter? Even the contemporary Saint Lord of the Jiang family would be nailed to the pillar of shame if he delayed the opportunity.

Therefore, after confirming Jiang Taixu's identity, the old antiques of the Jiang family immediately began to act, quickly welcoming Jiang Taixu into the Jiang family and sending him to the Jiang family's secret land for treatment. Jiang Xuan was also welcomed into the Jiang family and treated with the courtesy of a distinguished guest.

However, this matter could definitely not be concealed. Jiang Xuan came openly, without the slightest concealment. It was precisely because of this that, in a very short period of time, the news that the Jiang family's Divine King, Jiang Taixu, was still alive spread throughout the Northern Region, and was also spreading to the Four Seas and Eight Desolations at an even faster speed.

"Missing for thousands of years, the Jiang family's Divine King reappears in the world, this will surely shock the great sects and holy lands!"

"Divine King Jiang Taixu, the number one person in attack for five thousand years, now reappears in the world, the world is about to set off a storm again!"

Some beings with long lives spoke, lost in thought. That era belonged to Divine King Jiang Taixu, the Great Accomplishment Divine King Body, invincible in an era where saints did not appear.

Some even said that if Jiang Taixu had not disappeared, he would have surely ascended to the Saint realm and embarked on the road to becoming an Emperor.

Unfortunately, he had been missing for four thousand years. After four thousand years, everything had long changed, and there were very few beings from that era left. Even the Divine King, who once dominated an era, was now old.

People lamented, and at the same time, they received news that Divine King Jiang Taixu's life was in danger. He had been trapped for four thousand years, which had almost worn him away. It was already a miracle that he could return now.

"It is rumored that the Divine King was rescued from Purple Mountain!"

"Purple Mountain? Could it be that the power of the Emperor weapon in Purple Mountain before was the Jiang family using the Emperor weapon to save Divine King Jiang Taixu?"

"Impossible, that is not the Jiang family's Emperor weapon. The Hengyu Cauldron is vastly different from it."

Countless people were guessing. This day was destined to be not peaceful. The reappearance of the Divine King, who had disappeared for four thousand years, would surely trigger a series of major events.

Before long, the Jiang family sent out a message, wanting to seek a way to save his life, to extend the Divine King's life. This also made more people suspect that although Divine King Jiang Taixu had returned, he might not be able to survive, perhaps he was too badly injured, or perhaps his vitality had been worn away by time.

...

"During this period, we will first use various spiritual medicines to regulate the Old Divine King's body, but we also need a supreme divine medicine, otherwise it will be difficult to successfully extend the Old Divine King's life."

An old antique from the Jiang family looked solemn. They would not use too strong divine medicine to extend his life, but needed to proceed gradually. However, after regulating Jiang Taixu, they still needed a peerless divine medicine, otherwise it would be difficult to successfully extend Jiang Taixu's life.

"The outside is also very uneasy. I received news from the Divine City that there are several old antiques who intend to deal with the Old Divine King."

"We are in the Jiang family's territory, even if the other party comes in person with an Emperor weapon, we don't need to worry. The only thing we worry about is that they will attack and kill the clansmen who go out to seek divine medicine."

The Supreme Elders of the Jiang family were all anxious. Jiang Taixu's condition was very poor and he urgently needed divine medicine to extend his life. Now was the critical moment. If someone maliciously targeted the Divine King and killed those Jiang family members who went out to seek medicine, then Divine King Jiang Taixu would also be difficult to save.

However, the most worrying thing still happened. Outside the Jiang family, the void trembled, and the world was pierced through. A vast pressure surged, it was an Emperor weapon recovering!

There was no doubt that a terrifying force had come with an Emperor weapon. At this moment, the Hengyu Divine Furnace inside the Jiang family also bloomed with divine might, its light greatly increased, and it was also recovering, turning into a divine phoenix soaring into the sky!

The Milky Way in the Nine Heavens fell, divine rays shot out in all directions, and the sky outside the Jiang family was like it was burning.

All parties were shaken, this was too shocking, the scene of Emperor weapons confronting each other appeared again, but this time it was not the forbidden land Purple Mountain, but outside the ancient Jiang family!

"Damn it, are they preparing to force my Jiang family's Divine King to death?!"

"Are they crazy, they really dare to use Extreme Dao Emperor weapons, who are they, doesn't he know the terrible consequences of doing so?!"

"Who exactly are they, do they want to start a war between holy lands?"

"My Jiang family's Divine King has been resurrected, is it really necessary to make such a big fuss? Are they not afraid of returning the earth to the darkest age?!"

The Jiang family members all looked solemn. The current situation was very bad. The other party did not forcibly attack the Jiang family, but trapped the Jiang family with Emperor weapons. This was intended to trap Divine King Jiang Taixu to death!

Jiang Taixu's current state was very bad, and he could die at any moment. But at this time when he urgently needed divine medicine to extend his life, these people surrounded the Jiang family with Emperor weapons. Their intentions were obvious.

"How about… asking that fellow Daoist for help?"

"He… but he has already stated clearly that if we ask him to take action, we will need at least a scroll of the *Hengyu Sutra*."

"Now that things have come to this, as long as he promises not to spread it, what harm is there in giving it to him? Is the Old Divine King's life not worth a scroll of Emperor Scripture?"

"We can't delay any longer, give him a scroll of Emperor Scripture!"

A group of Supreme Elders quickly made a decision. They all knew that Jiang Xuan possessed an Emperor weapon. The scene of the two Emperor weapons fighting against each other in Purple Mountain before was caused by him.

However, they later learned that Jiang Xuan and Jiang Taixu had an agreement. If Jiang Xuan rescued the Divine King, he would pass on the *Dou Zi* secret. As for if they wanted to ask Jiang Xuan to take action in the future, they would need at least a scroll of Emperor Scripture.

But now the situation was urgent, and they couldn't care about so much. The only thing that could fight against Emperor weapons was Emperor weapons. Now they could only rely on Jiang Xuan's power. After all, at this time, only Jiang Xuan, this mysterious being, would carry an Emperor weapon with him.

...

The Emperor weapons confronted each other, and the entire world was silent. But that Emperor weapon was hidden in the chaotic void, in a dim state, with only terrifying pressure, unable to see its traces. This was deliberately concealed.

After all, there were only a few Emperor weapons in the entire Eastern Wilderness. Once revealed, who was behind it would be clear at a glance.

However, on this day, the balance was broken. Another and another phantom appeared in the void. It was actually an ancient fan, composed of only five feathers, shining with five-colored divine light, covering the sky and covering the earth, together with the Hengyu Divine Furnace, directly putting the Emperor weapon in the dark at a disadvantage.

"Get lost!"

At the same time, a stern shout came from the void, with the might of the world, without the slightest consideration, scolding the person hiding in the dark. What followed was an extremely young figure, overlooking the world, like an ancient emperor, stepping on the avenues of heaven and earth.

"Why must fellow Daoist take action? The Divine King is at the end of his road, and he will inevitably die in the end. Why not join us, kill the Divine King, and bathe in Divine blood!"

On the endless earth, white snow flew, a voice disturbed the celestial phenomena, but it also said their purpose.

Similarly, this also exposed the problems within the Jiang family. The other party seemed to know Jiang Xuan's identity and was deliberately trying to win him over.

"A group of petty people, if you really have the courage, why not wait for him to recover?" A contemptuous voice came, full of disdain. If Jiang Taixu wasn't dying, these guys in the dark couldn't threaten him at all.

"Fellow Daoist, what the Jiang family can give you, we can give you ten times as much. We only ask you to withdraw from this matter and no longer interfere."

Different voices sounded again, from other directions. They surrounded the Jiang family's pure land and sealed the void with Emperor weapons. Even a fly could not leave the Jiang family's pure land.

"Ten times? Okay, give me ten copies of Emperor Scripture, and I will no longer care about this matter." Jiang Xuan's voice sounded again. The Jiang family promised to give him Emperor Scripture, but since the other side was so generous, he might as well withdraw.

However, after he said these words, the distant sky was silent. Ten copies of Emperor Scripture, the entire Eastern Wilderness could not gather that many. Jiang Xuan opened his mouth and asked for ten copies, with no sincerity at all.

"Fellow Daoist is determined to help Divine King Jiang Taixu?"

Another voice came from another direction, which made Jiang Xuan very helpless. When had he been determined? Wasn't it you who said you would give ten times the price of the Jiang family and ask me to withdraw from this struggle?

"Fellow Daoist, don't mislead yourself!"

Jiang Xuan listened to these words and was very helpless. Ten times the reward was not what he said.

"Since you have no sincerity, there is no need to talk about it. Leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for using the power of the Extreme Dao!"

Jiang Xuan said bluntly. Now that the Emperor weapons were two against one, he was at an absolute advantage. If the Hengyu Cauldron dragged down the Emperor weapon in the dark, then he could take action wantonly. Even if they were ordinary great powers, he could sweep them away.

Of course, ordinary great powers could only use a little power of the Extreme Dao, but Jiang Xuan was different. The True Phoenix Feather Fan was refined by his true body and bound to his true spirit. It was in a completely recovered state from the beginning.

In addition, Jiang Xuan was its master, so he didn't need to expend a single bit of effort to unleash the power of the Extreme Dao.

Not to mention that the other side were some who had not yet become saints, even if a saint came with an Emperor weapon, it would not pose much of a threat to him.

"Humph! With your cultivation, can you unleash the power of the Extreme Dao? What a joke!"

A sneering voice came from one direction. They could see that Jiang Xuan was only in the Great Power realm. It was good enough for this kind of cultivation to recover an Emperor weapon, let alone unleash the power of the Extreme Dao? That was absolutely impossible!

However, Jiang Xuan just glanced lightly, and the True Phoenix Feather Fan fanned lightly across the air. Five-colored divine fire fell, instantly piercing through the void, burning through the heavens and the earth. In an instant, the endless snowfield outside the Jiang family completely melted. Like the sun falling, the vast land seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​fire!

"Ah!! How is this possible?!"

The next moment, a shrill scream came, and in a void in the distance, a five-colored divine fire soared into the sky.

In that five-colored divine fire, a figure was reflected. It was a Saint Lord, but at this moment he was begging for mercy. The five-colored divine fire burned everything, even the soul was burned. There was no escape, no avoidance, and in just an instant, a Saint Lord was wiped out!

"The death of a Saint Lord is truly a great misfortune for the human race. I hope you all cherish your lives and retreat quickly." Jiang Xuan gave a final piece of advice. His patience had run out. He originally thought that the other party would give up when they knew it was difficult, and he could easily obtain a kind of Emperor Scripture.

But now it seemed that these people would not shed tears until they saw the coffin. This was the last time he would persuade them. If they still didn't listen, then he could only wipe them all out and fulfill his promise to the Jiang family.

"Humph! Do you really think you are the only one who owns an Emperor weapon?!"

An angry shout came, extremely far away, as if it was on the horizon, followed by supreme divine power.

Someone really came with an Emperor weapon!

At this moment, the situation could no longer be controlled. Four Emperor weapons pressed down on the sky, and even the void was disturbed. The entire world seemed to be cracking.

Everyone knew that if these four Emperor weapons were fully recovered, an unstoppable Emperor war would break out. Unless there were truly ancient Emperors still alive in the world, the entire Northern Region would suffer.

"Another Emperor weapon?" Jiang Xuan frowned. This was an unexpected event. Although it would not pose a threat, it made things more troublesome.

At this moment, one figure after another stepped through the void, and the terrifying pressure was like a vast ocean rolling over the sky, sweeping away all obstacles. Each of them was a Saint Lord, having reached the extreme of this realm, with monstrous strength.

However, the Jiang family's foundation was also revealed to the world. A peerless great formation was outlined in the void, suppressing the myriad Daos, as if it could wipe out everything!

That was the Great Emperor Ancient Formation, and it was also one of the Jiang family's foundations. Now that many Saint Lords had come to attack, the ancient formation recovered, and it was going to suppress all enemies.

Jiang Xuan's expression was also cold. Originally, he was just protecting Jiang Taixu's recovery, but because of these people, things were getting more and more troublesome. If he wanted to get the Emperor Scripture, he had to fight a battle.

Of course, he could also see that these Saint Lords were just delaying time. Jiang Taixu's current state was extremely poor, and he needed divine medicine to extend his life, but in the vast Eastern Wilderness, there were very few divine medicines that could extend Jiang Taixu's life. Apart from those in the Seven Great Life Forbidden Zones, it was feared that a complete one could not be found.

Originally, it was difficult to find medicine, but now it was being hindered by other forces. The more time dragged on, the greater the possibility that Jiang Taixu would die.

"Do you really want to start a war between the holy lands!" An angry shout resounded through the clouds. It was the contemporary Saint Lord of the Jiang family, and his expression was also very bad at the moment. Four Emperor weapons were in the sky, suppressing the years. If an Emperor war really broke out, the first to suffer would be the Jiang family's pure land.

At that time, even if they could win, this pure land would be destined to return to ruins, and even the Jiang family would suffer heavy losses as a result, and would not be able to recover for a long time.

"We have come for the secret of the Great Emperor Wu Shi, for the Nine Secrets, the *Dou Zi Jue*. If you hand them over, we can retreat." Some Saint Lords said that they wanted to know how Jiang Taixu had survived for four thousand years in Purple Mountain.

"Noisy!" Jiang Xuan scolded, and lost his patience. The True Phoenix Feather Fan moved with him, surrounded by five-colored divine fire, like an ancient fire god descending into the world, controlling the fires of heaven and earth!

"You are just a Great Power, so what if you control an Emperor weapon? You can't stop our footsteps!"

Jiang Xuan looked into the distance, where the void was covered by a mysterious force, and the aura of the Emperor weapon was emitted. It was as if an ancient emperor was overlooking, domineering and unpredictable.

"Just two Emperor weapons, do you really think I'm afraid?!"

Jiang Xuan scolded lightly, but everyone heard it clearly.

However, before they could refute, another stream of light flew out of Jiang Xuan's body.

It was a string of beads, to be precise, a string of bones, with six different divine bones, blooming with immeasurable power, giving people a strange feeling, as if there was a peerless divine power in those six bones!

"Emperor weapon?!"

"A second Emperor weapon?! How is this possible?!"

"Impossible, impossible, who in the world can obtain two Emperor weapons at the same time? Not to mention controlling them at the same time!"

The Saint Lords in the distance were also stunned. Even if it was a great sect holy land, having one Emperor weapon would be enough to overlook a region, but this person in front of them, clearly only in the Great Power realm, actually possessed two great Emperor weapons!

And what was even more unbelievable was that these two Emperor weapons could actually be controlled by him at the same time, appearing in a completely recovered state!

"Extinguish!"

Jiang Xuan shouted lightly, and the string of beads was also glowing, with endless divine light, constantly being born and dying, as if forming its own reincarnation, and then a rainbow light was shot out, piercing through the years, suppressing all kinds of great Daos, containing supreme power of destruction, collapsing everything, and was simply unstoppable!
