Jiang Shoutian struggles with the implications of his sons' ambitions and Xu Zimei's quiet presence. Meanwhile, Xu Zimei and Jiang Shidai discuss family ties and future prospects. Later, Xu Zimei learns of the Xuntian Clan's suspicious large-scale human trafficking operations, all seemingly connected to the back mountain. The next morning, the Xuntian Clan is meticulously decorated for the Old Lady's birthday banquet, with an elder in red robes preparing to receive her.

The identity of this elder in a red robe is rather extraordinary.

His name is Jiang Zhuoshi.

He is the high ancestor of the Xuntian Clan.

Simply put, he is the former Family Head.

Afterward, he passed the position to Jiang Shoutian.

Of course, he is also Jiang Rui's grandfather.

Jiang Shoutian and Jiang Changhai are both his sons.

After passing on the clan leader position, he has stayed in the back mountain for cultivation and has never emerged.

Or rather, under normal circumstances.

Like figures of their ancestral level, they only intervene when a life-and-death crisis occurs within the clan.

Regular matters often aren't significant enough to disturb them.

It's precisely because of this that this time Jiang Zhuoshi appeared personally to welcome the Old Lady.

It's clear that the face shown by the Xuntian Clan this time was really considerable.

Early in the morning, led by Jiang Zhuoshi, Jiang Shoutian, and his two sons, including several daughters.

These daughters, related by kinship, Xu Zimei still has to call them aunt a few times.

However, these aunts have mostly been married out.

They sometimes only return once a year.

There isn't much affection.

Thus, after returning home, these aunts have little interaction with younger generations like Xu Zimei.

It's evident that family bonds have faded to plain water.

If not for this urgent call from the clan requiring everyone's return, they likely wouldn't have come back.

But such orders from the clan must still be obeyed.

Because once women are married off, if they suffer grievances from the husband's side.

The clan must indeed stand in solidarity for them.

The Xuntian Clan is equivalent to the maiden home for these aunts, so they must return for any matters.

Besides the branch led by Jiang Zhuoshi, the Xuntian Clan has other branches as well.

Each belonging to different forces.

However, as Jiang Zhuoshi and Jiang Zhuoshi consecutively served as clan leaders.

Thus, their branch holds the greatest power.

"When you see the Old Lady later, during kowtowing, you absolutely cannot look directly at her, only focus on her feet."

Jiang Shoutian started to instruct everyone on the rules.

Actually, these rules were told days ago.

Jiang Shoutian was still afraid they'll forget, and a mistake would be troublesome.

Thus, he specifically reminded them again.

Additionally, before the Old Lady speaks, no one is permitted to speak casually, let alone whisper.

If you offend the Old Lady, no one can save you.

He kept instructing like this.

Apart from the Xuntian Clan, Xu Zimei also saw the Zhou Di Clan.

Previously, Shen Baizhi, the Saintess of Zhou Di Clan, was among them.

She constantly winked at Xu Zimei, attempting to attract his attention.

The leader of the Zhou Di Clan was also an elder.

Appears to be of the same generation as Jiang Zhuoshi.

His name is Shen Heilong.

But referred to by Jiang Zhuoshi as Black Dragon Old Ghost.

"Black Dragon Old Ghost, the Old Lady's arrival this time is our last chance.

If we can board this treasure ship, returning to the Heaven and Earth Clan is within sight."

"Therefore, regardless of any grudges between us, they must be set aside."

"Everyone joining forces is the only opportunity."

"Do you even need to say that?" Shen Heilong snorted coldly.

Replying, "Is your preparation for that item already complete?"

"This is not the place to discuss it," Jiang Zhuoshi subtly reminded, seemingly unwilling to say more.

And Shen Heilong evidently acknowledged this, refraining from further inquiry.

At that moment, the weather between the heavens and earth suddenly changed.

The previously clear sky was suddenly filled with winds and lightning, thunder and lightning.

The roar of Divine Beasts echoed from the depths of the sky.

Countless Spiritual Energy congregated here like a whale swallowing.

Even it can be said that it instantly devoured the Spiritual Energy within tens of thousands of kilometers.

Next, various mystical phenomena unfolded continuously.

Dragon-like dance, Earthspring Gold Fountain, the chime of the Great Dao reverberated across the universe.

Scriptures were chanted, Ancient Buddha bestowed blessings, East Sea's fortune mingled with Nanshan's longevity.

Countless phantoms representing all beings evolved with cheers, welcoming this distinguished guest.

Then, a rift appeared in the cosmos.

As though something forcibly tore it apart, continuously enlarging it.

A Treasure Ship emerged from the depths of the universe.

This Treasure Ship was immense, occupying nearly the entire sky.

Or rather, in people's view, the sky was almost invisible, replaced entirely by this colossal Treasure Ship.

Aboard the ship, Divine Beasts accompanied various treasures, radiating rays of colorful light, with an imposing grandeur.

Rainbows and brilliant lights burst forth.

Sun and moon and the starry sky served as the sails.

Countless soldiers clad in golden robes stood there, motionless, yet their subtle unity of power.

Pushed straight up to the sky, making no one dare underestimate them.

Following this, the interior of the Treasure Ship.

Featured a Ten Thousand Miles of Mountain and River Map as a curtain, adorned with various precious gems and jades.

As the curtain was lifted bit by bit.

First emerged a group of heroic, general-like women.

"All of them at the Comprehender of Dao level?"

Xu Zimei furrowed his brows slightly.

Even he did not expect such a grand array from the opposing party.

The female guardians totaled ten people.

Divided into two rows, each with five, clearly seen by him, all ten women were Comprehenders of the Dao.

This indicated they had already found their own path of the Great Dao.

As long as they persisted onward, they would surely reach Great Dao Completion.

Or True Fate Completion.

Such powerhouses, no matter where placed, would be distinguished guests.

In weaker large worlds, they could even be Overlords.

Yet precisely, these ten Comprehenders of the Dao were merely guardians.

Then, a woman slowly emerged from behind.

Beside her were two others.

One donned a black robe, the other a white one.

Both wore different fierce-looking masks on their faces.

The black and white pair seemed to be the woman's personal guards.

Their aura concealed together, so much so that their strength remained unseen.

Increasingly, the unknown grows more fearsome.

As for the woman who captured every gaze, impossible to look away.

She appeared to be in her twenties.

Judging solely by her appearance, it was impossible to connect her with the title Old Lady.

But she was indeed the Old Lady.

Because the moment she appeared, everyone in the Xuntian Clan bowed in obeisance.

Not daring to look directly at her countenance.

Her attire was like an ancient Empress's robe, embroidered with splendid landscapes, exuding grandeur and nobility.

Every stitch, every design of the garment was the labor of countless master craftsmen.

Firstly discussing the golden crown she wore.

Crafted from the hide of an almost extinct creature.

Comprising three tiers.

Each tier embroidered with layered golden phoenixes.
