Jiang Xuantong, the third son of the Jiang Family Head, has always pursued his interests in alchemy and artifacts, which often led to mishaps. This led him to reside in his own Cave Heaven Blessed Land. Despite his family's high cultivation standards and his powerful siblings, Jiang Xuantong remained at the Heavenly God Realm. His children, however, achieved great renown. Meanwhile, Ye Xuan arrives at Jiang Xuantong's Immortal Island to witness him attempting to refine a Holy Pill, with Ye Sixing offering guidance.

Boom!

In the next moment, from above the horizon, a sudden peal of thunder roared.

Soon after, the entire Immortal Island was shrouded in endless storm clouds.

Occasionally, Lei Jiao would emerge from the storm clouds, baring its menace.

In the southern part of Immortal Island, the entire Jiang Zhao family felt the terrifying oppressive force.

"Dad, Mom, it’s going to rain!"

Little Yu Ze pointed at the dark, oppressively gray sky and said.

The young woman looked at that scene and glanced somewhat resentfully at the exceptionally handsome young man beside her, mumbling, "It must be dad causing trouble again. Can’t you do something about it?"

That young man was none other than Jiang Xuantong’s third son, Jiang Zhao, a peerless strongman who possessed the Taixu Saint Body and had long stepped into the Great Saint Realm.

At this moment, hearing his wife’s complaint, Jiang Zhao smiled slightly, embraced her, and said, "Father has finally shown signs of a breakthrough. How could I, as his son, stop him?"

The young woman was somewhat surprised, "Father’s about to make a breakthrough?"

Jiang Zhao nodded, "Let me tell you, even Xiaoxuan’s daughter is insightful. Even I, her uncle, am in awe."

The young woman was even more surprised, "That amazing?"

Jiang Zhao laughed and said, "After all, she is Xiaoxuan’s daughter."

In fact, there was one more thing Jiang Zhao hadn’t said.

He saw that he couldn’t seize the Tian Ming.

The main reason was still Ye Xuan!

Back then, he didn’t know it was Ye Xuan.

When news spread that Ye Xuan was the first to walk the Emperor Road, Jiang Zhao understood.

The son of his own elder sister was the biggest factor.

Jiang Zhao had no resentment. On the contrary, he felt truly happy.

His sister had also suffered a lot over the years, and now she could finally hold her head high.

To be honest, when he first learned that the Kunlun Ruins sealed off his sister, he almost stormed into Kunlun Ruins.

But he was stopped by his family’s patriarch, who said it was his sister’s fate.

Although Jiang Zhao believed in fate, he didn’t believe it applied to his sister.

Now, he does.

At this moment.

The storm clouds grew increasingly terrifying.

As if it wanted to destroy the world.

Relying on Jiang Xuantong’s strength alone, he couldn’t possibly withstand such a Heavenly Tribulation.

Of course, Jiang Xuantong didn’t need to withstand it himself; the ten Nine Transformation Divine Pills were needed to block it.

As long as they blocked it, they could be promoted to Holy Pill.

And if Jiang Xuantong was present, he could naturally become a Generation of Medicine Saint.

By then, Jiang Xuantong’s status within the Jiang Family would soar once again.

And all of this naturally drew the attention of many strong members of the Jiang Family.

They were all somewhat curious, wondering if Jiang Xuantong, who had been stuck for so long, could truly make a breakthrough?

The process was surprisingly smooth.

Jiang Xuantong succeeded without any difficulty.

Rumble!

However, just as Jiang Xuantong was overjoyed, a terrifying sound reverberated throughout the entire Jiang Family.

"What’s going on?!"

The Jiang Family experts originally intending to congratulate Jiang Xuantong all froze with differing expressions.

In the southern part of Immortal Island, Jiang Zhao’s expression also turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Take care of Yu Ze."

Before the young woman could respond, Jiang Zhao had already disappeared.

The young woman held onto little Yu Ze, a trace of worry in her expression.

Inside Jiang Xuantong’s alchemy room.

All ten Holy Pills were shattered into powder.

Jiang Xuantong’s formerly joyous expression turned unspeakably dour, and he said somewhat dejectedly, "Am I ultimately just useless?"

Ye Xuan slightly raised an eyebrow, "Has it begun..."

Jiang Xuantong glanced at Ye Xuan and said irritably, "I already know I’m a failure!"

Ye Xuan shook his head, "I wasn’t referring to you."

Jiang Xuantong was taken aback, "Then what?"

"Didn’t you notice the strange noise just now?"

"...Did I?"

"Let’s just say you didn’t," Ye Xuan replied with a smile.

Jiang Xuantong’s eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean to say, I succeeded, but was interrupted by that force, right?"

Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

Jiang Xuantong shouted, "Hahahaha, I’m not a failure!"

Ye Sixing shrank behind Ye Xuan; she was genuinely a bit afraid of this old grandfather, feeling like he was crazy.

"Come with me."

Ye Xuan waved his hand, and a force swept up Jiang Xuantong.

Ye Xuan held Ye Sixing’s hand.

The three of them vanished from Immortal Island in an instant.

When they reappeared, they were in a dark cosmos.

"Dad."

Jiang Zhao was also there, having arrived beside Jiang Xuantong.

Jiang Xuantong was still in a bit of a daze, "What’s happening here?"

Jiang Zhao’s expression was solemn, his tone tense, "Not sure, but there’s an unknown force within the Jiang Family’s territory, and it’s very frightening."

"You’re not saying much by saying that."

Jiang Xuantong rolled his eyes, then looked at Ye Xuan and asked, "Dear grandson, do you know what’s going on?"

Ye Xuan smiled slightly, "Just as Uncle said."

Jiang Xuantong rolled his eyes again, "Fine, forget I asked."

"Jiang Zhao."

At this moment, Jiang Family experts arrived one after another, each greeting Jiang Zhao.

Jiang Zhao replied to each one.

Jiang Xuantong pursed his lips, "Why do these guys act like I’m invisible?"

"Is it because I’m a failure?"

"I refuse to accept it!"

"My fate is in my own hands, not the heavens’. I’m the biggest... failure."

Jiang Xuantong clenched his fist and shouted.

This drew a series of eye-rolls.

However, given the special situation, no one ridiculed Jiang Xuantong.

Jiang Zhao ignored his father’s outburst and instead looked at Ye Xuan, whispering, "Xiaoxuan, can you see anything?"

Ye Xuan gazed into the depths of the dark cosmos, squinting slightly, "It’s hard to say for now. In any case, I’m afraid the Jiang Family’s peace is about to be disrupted."

The dark cosmos was actually a considerable distance from the Jiang Family’s residence.

But the moment that force erupted, it affected all the way to that area, which sufficiently demonstrated the terrifying nature of that force.

Fortunately, Jiang Xuantong didn’t choose to go into seclusion for cultivation and breakthrough but instead chose the alchemical method.

If he had chosen to go into seclusion to cultivate a breakthrough, he would likely have exploded and died by now.

This impact was significant.

That’s also why so many powerful Jiang Family members came.

Almost all the cultivators above the Saint Realm in the Jiang Family arrived at this place as quickly as possible, probing into the depths of that power.

Even the Family Head of the Jiang Family came.

"Family Head, what exactly is in there?"

Some members of the Jiang Family, unaware of what was hidden there, couldn’t help but ask.

"I don’t know."

The Family Head’s response was cold, but from his heavy eyes, one could vaguely tell that he knew quite a lot but couldn’t say anything to avoid causing panic.

"I heard that when the ancestor created this world, besides providing the Jiang Family with a refuge, he also wanted to suppress something, but this saying has never been confirmed."

Jiang Zhao whispered to Ye Xuan.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan didn’t deny it.

Indeed, the world where the Jiang Family resided was indeed suppressing something.

But it had nothing to do with the events happening now.

In this regard, Ye Xuan was very certain.
