Although Ye Fan possessed the Supreme Immortal Bone, his physical body couldn’t withstand the burden it brought once activated. That was why he desperately needed the Nine Yang Mystic Herb to temper his body. If he forcefully activated the Immortal Bone, at best he would suffer injuries and require a year or two of recovery. At worst, he could damage his Dao foundation and never reach the peak in this lifetime.
Jiang Wang understood this reasoning clearly—and so did Ye Fan. But Li Qingxuan did not. She had long been deceived by Ye Fan’s sweet words, firmly believing Jiang Wang’s strength was far inferior.
“Fine, I’ll agree on behalf of Brother Ye Fan! Jiang Wang, since you refuse to see reason, I won’t waste my breath!” Li Qingxuan said coldly, “If you lose, it won’t just be about a single Nine Yang Mystic Herb!”
Jiang Wang sneered, “Hmph, let’s fight first and see. Let’s see if that Ye Fan of yours dares face me in battle.”
He couldn’t be bothered to argue with her any longer. Li Qingxuan snorted coldly and turned to leave. She’d already planned it—after Brother Ye Fan defeated Jiang Wang, she would thoroughly humiliate him. Ideally, his Dao heart would collapse, and he’d become a useless waste for life.
Thinking of that, she quickened her pace, imagining Jiang Wang’s groveling expression already.
Once Li Qingxuan left, the mechanical voice of the Supreme Villain System suddenly echoed in Jiang Wang’s mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host has prevented Ye Fan from obtaining the Nine Yang Mystic Herb. Successfully plundered fortune from the Child of Destiny. Reward: Awakening the Creation Immortal Bone!]
Creation Immortal Bone?
In his previous life, he had only awakened that bone at the age of twenty. But now, with the system’s help, he was awakening it early!
Jiang Wang was overjoyed. Just by refusing to give Ye Fan the herb, he had earned the reward of early awakening. They would surely cross paths many more times—he planned to milk them dry.
Those two shameless scum, Ye Fan and Li Qingxuan, had taken so much from the Jiang Clan in his previous life. From now on, they would cough up every bit they’d stolen!
Now that he had been reborn, Jiang Wang had only one goal—to make up for past regrets and walk an invincible path!
“System, awaken the Creation Immortal Bone!”
[Awakening the Creation Immortal Bone for host!]
As the mechanical voice fell, Jiang Wang suddenly felt a blazing fire ignite in his chest. But the fire brought no pain—on the contrary, it was warm and comforting.
The Creation Immortal Bone had always been his. It simply hadn’t awakened. Now, with the system’s assistance, the process felt perfectly natural.
Countless rays of dazzling golden light burst from his body and shot toward the sky, brilliant even in this land blessed with immortal light.
Dragons and phoenixes danced within the golden glow. Ancient runes exuded a primeval aura, and within those runes, miniature worlds seemed to collapse endlessly.
This alone revealed the overwhelming power and dominance of the Creation Immortal Bone.
This phenomenon soon attracted the attention of others in the Jiang Clan. Beams of light streaked across the sky, each containing a terrifying figure.
These were the elders and senior members of the Jiang Clan. Their overwhelming pressure distorted the surrounding space as they gathered outside Jiang Wang’s immortal estate, halting their own cultivation to witness the strange occurrence.
At the same time, the entire Changsheng Jiang Clan was enveloped in this terrifying anomaly. Even the major sacred grounds, long-life clans, and ancient sects of the Immortal Domain took notice.
“Who has caused such a phenomenon? A new prodigy must have been born!”
“That direction… it’s the Changsheng Jiang Clan! Another prodigy emerges from the Jiang Clan!”
“With overwhelming support and talent, and with the Divine Son already in their ranks, now they have another prodigy. This generation will surely be an era of glory for the Jiang Clan!”
…
Immortal Domain, Changsheng Jiang Clan.
“This is… Jiang Wang’s immortal estate!” one elder exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he looked at the tightly closed estate.
“Jiang Wang? Could he have awakened some terrifying physique? With his peerless talent, he should be able to dominate the era!”
Another elder decisively declared.
“Hahaha! My son, Jiang Wang, has the bearing of an Emperor!” a middle-aged man at the front roared with laughter, his voice like thunder, eyes burning as he stared at the estate.
He was Jiang Wang’s father—the patriarch of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Xundao!
“Patriarch, with the Divine Son’s talent, he could make even Divine Daughters take concubine status. His wife should not be some lowly girl from a minor family. Even if she has a supreme dual cultivation physique, she’s still unworthy of him!” an old man beside Jiang Xundao said seriously.
“The wife of the Divine Son should be a prodigy from the Divine Domain, like Madam herself!”
Jiang Xundao’s radiant expression dimmed at those words. His wife, Jiang Wang’s mother, had been forced to return to the Divine Domain shortly after his birth due to immense pressure.
“I know that girl from the Li Clan is unworthy of my son. But since he liked her, we didn’t want to interfere too much,” Jiang Xundao sighed bitterly.
“Please don’t worry, Patriarch. Once the Divine Son leaves the estate, we can talk to him again.”
“You’re right. With such a grand phenomenon, the sacred grounds will surely come to offer congratulations. It’s the perfect time to choose a proper wife for him!”
“A girl who walks beside him must never be so ordinary!”
Jiang Xundao made up his mind—he would discuss this with Jiang Wang once the awakening was complete.
The phenomenon lasted for three whole hours before gradually fading.
Inside the estate, Jiang Wang slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the golden blood coursing through his body and the shimmering jade-like bones, he couldn’t contain his joy.
“Awakening the Creation Immortal Bone has even tempered my physical body! My foundation is now solid beyond comparison.”
“The six mortal cultivation realms—I’ve re-walked every one of them and reached their limits!”
Just as he began to feel the divine power within him, a voice called out clearly from outside, “Wang’er, once you’ve finished awakening, come out and let your father have a look!”
The moment he heard that voice, Jiang Wang’s heart surged with emotion.
In his previous life, after the Jiang Clan was destroyed, his father, Jiang Xundao, had died. He’d lived another thousand bitter years, and hadn’t heard that voice in all that time.
His eyes turned slightly red, but he held back his tears. After composing himself, he stepped out of the estate.
Only then did he realize that countless elders had gathered outside.
“Jiang Wang greets Father and the esteemed elders.”
Looking at the familiar yet distant figures, though overwhelmed inside, he concealed it well. He didn’t mention his rebirth—this blood-drenched grudge, he would avenge with his own hands.
“Hahaha! Good, good!” Jiang Xundao laughed heartily. “Wang’er, tell your father, what kind of physique or root did you awaken?”
“Father, I have awakened the Creation Immortal Bone today. It has fully fused with my body.”
“My son truly has the bearing of an Emperor!”
Jiang Xundao was ecstatic. Around him, the elders gasped in shock.
An Undying-grade root!
In the Immortal Domain, roots were ranked: Immortal Bone, Dao Bone, Immortal Bone, Supreme Bone.
Even possessing a Supreme Immortal Bone like Ye Fan was enough to be considered a prodigy. Dao Bone holders could directly become Holy Sons or Saintesses of major sacred grounds.
But the Immortal Bone—one hadn’t emerged in ten thousand years!
As for the Supreme Bone, it existed only in legend.
“Heaven blesses the rise of my Jiang Clan! With the Divine Son’s unparalleled talent and now this Immortal Bone, he rivals even the prodigies of the Divine Domain! In time, we may even enter the Divine Domain!”
One elder couldn’t suppress his excitement.
“Indeed! Indeed!”
Amidst the elders’ praises, Jiang Xundao gazed at Jiang Wang with increasing satisfaction.
Then suddenly, as if recalling something, his face calmed. “Wang’er, with your talent and this Immortal Bone, that Li girl is no longer worthy of you. Take your father’s advice and cancel the engagement as soon as possible.”
“Rest assured, Father. I will find a time to go to the Li Clan and break the engagement.”
“Wang’er, there are many flowers in the world. Don’t hang yourself on one tree… wait, what did you just say?”
Jiang Xundao suddenly sensed something wrong and looked at him intently.
“Father, I’m willing to break the engagement.”
