Chen Jiuyang sat alone on the dragon throne, his eyes flashing with sharp light. Deciding Zhu Zhaoming's marriage now would settle a karmic connection.
The matter of subduing the Great Dream Demonic Sect had triggered heavenly tribulation, which was to be handled by the subsequent Ancestors. He had already stepped into the Emperor Realm; how could he trigger heavenly tribulation for the purpose of crossing the Supreme lineage and the Grand Profound lineage?
Only the Yan Sheng Blade in his hand could trigger heavenly tribulation.
Currently, the Yan Sheng Blade was a second-grade Dao artifact… He requested the Ancestors to upgrade the grade of the Yan Sheng Blade, thereby triggering heavenly tribulation.
...
Following Chen Jiuyang’s subjugation of the Grand Profound Demonic Sect.
The Immortal Alliance could no longer maintain its composure.
They were fully aware of the origin and strength of the forbidden zone, the Chongming Sea.
“This brat Chen Jiuyang aims to unify the Nine Demonic Sects and revive the Chongming Sea. This cannot be stopped.”
“Since that is the case, we should also prepare our Ancestral Artifacts. If this brat Chen Jiuyang believes that by reviving the Chongming Sea, he can destroy the Holy Land Dao Lineages, then we shall let him know the foundations of our Holy Lands.”
...
Six days later.
Chen Jiuyang once again ascended the Myriad Races Blood Seat, merging the destiny of the Grand Profound lineage into the True Demonic Sect.
‘Eternal Calamity’ unfurled its scroll once more.
This time, the scene within the Chongming Sea greatly surprised Chen Jiuyang.
Every previous glimpse of a corner of the Chongming Sea had been shrouded in dense clouds, with constant flashes of lightning. The terrifying, deep sea unsettled the mind.
All the Ancestors slumbered within the dark clouds in the sky.
But the scene of the Chongming Sea before him was…
Bright sunshine, a clear blue sky, a calm, rippling sea surface with many small islands, resembling a fairyland. There were no dark clouds housing slumbering Ancestors in the sky.
Chen Jiuyang asked ‘Eternal Calamity’, “What has happened in the Chongming Sea?”
‘Eternal Calamity’ replied, “The supreme divine ability you displayed during your last encounter with the Grand Profound lineage has awakened all the slumbering Ancestors. All the Ancestors in the Chongming Sea have now been revived and are awaiting your unification of the Nine Holy Dao Sects to revive the Chongming Sea.”
“……”
“!!!”
Chen Jiuyang’s heart trembled, filled with confusion, but he quickly understood…
It must have been caused by Princess ‘Shile’ when she dealt with the Ancestor attached to ‘Baishu’.
The Chongming Sea, with its current appearance, truly deserved to be called a Holy Land.
On the calm sea surface, there were countless soul lamps.
Chen Jiuyang spoke, “Does the Chongming Sea Holy Land have any Ancestors in charge at the moment?”
“Yes,” ‘Eternal Calamity’ replied, “‘Qiankun’ Ancestor is the Vice Holy Lord. Will you summon this Ancestor this time?”
Since the strongest Ancestor was present, it was natural to summon the strongest Ancestor.
Chen Jiuyang said, “I will summon this Ancestor.”
“Please wait a moment.” ‘Eternal Calamity’s’ voice fell.
“Swish swish swish!!!”
Chen Jiuyang’s soul lamp erupted with immortal light that shook the entire Chongming Sea, soaring towards the horizon.
At this moment, the immense power of Chen Jiuyang’s soul lamp drew the attention of all the Ancestors in the Chongming Sea.
“This kind of Celestial Stage power? The Dao Foundation is very strong!”
“This bears the karma and destiny of the Holy Land. Could he be the descendant who awakened us?”
“So powerful, no wonder he could smoothly embark on the Holy Dao contention. Hmm, only the Great Dream lineage remains.”
“Hmm? It’s actually ‘Qiankun’ Holy Lord who is coming forward! That’s right, the Holy Dao contention has reached its final sect. It is fitting for ‘Qiankun’ Holy Lord to come forward and accept this karma.”
A refined middle-aged man with slightly white hair appeared before Chen Jiuyang.
He glanced at Chen Jiuyang, showing a look of relief and satisfaction, and said in a gentle tone, “I am ‘Qiankun’. Are you ‘Qianyang’?”
Chen Jiuyang cupped his fists and bowed, “Disciple Qianyang greets ‘Qiankun’ Holy Lord.”
‘Qiankun’ looked at Chen Jiuyang and smiled, “After you unify the Nine Sects, you will be the Holy Lord, and I will merely be the Vice Holy Lord.”
Chen Jiuyang asked, “Ancestor ‘Qiankun’, I wish to ask how to successfully subdue the Great Dream lineage.”
Now that all the Ancestors of the Chongming Sea had been revived due to Chen Jiuyang, they all wished for him to successfully unify the Nine Demonic Sects to revive the Chongming Sea.
Ancestor ‘Qiankun’ said, “As I recall, most of the prodigies in the Holy Dao contention perished in the Supreme lineage and the Grand Profound lineage… As for the Great Dream lineage…”
“You coming to find me can be considered asking the right person.”
“If you were to ask others, you would only have at most a fifty percent chance of subduing the Great Dream lineage.”
“May I ask why, Ancestor?” Chen Jiuyang asked with a look of confusion.
Ancestor ‘Qiankun’ replied, “Because the Great Dream lineage was originally created by my Dao Companion, ‘Meng Yi’.”
“!!!”
Chen Jiuyang’s heart trembled.
“‘Meng Yi’ was forced to leave the Holy Land back then and founded the ‘Great Dream’ lineage in the mortal world. I feel guilty, so I created a divine ability that allowed my Dao Companion to live forever in the mortal world.”
“The sect of the Great Dream lineage is essentially equivalent to a small Holy Land. The Nine Lineage Families attached to it are responsible for inheriting the destiny of the sect through generations, allowing my Dao Companion to slumber within, and using the Great Dream divine ability to preserve a trace of her true spirit, and to assist the Nine Lineage Families…”
“The Nine Lineage Families can quickly improve their cultivation and combat strength within the Great Dream divine ability, but they must rotate every sixty years at most. As for the true spirit avatar of my Dao Companion that remains in the world, her memories are re-updated every sixty years.”
Listening to Ancestor ‘Qiankun’s’ words, Chen Jiuyang’s heart was shaken.
The Great Dream lineage was the most mysterious. If not for Ancestor ‘Qiankun’s’ confession, Chen Jiuyang would never have known such a secret within the Great Dream lineage.
“If ordinary descendants were to enter the Great Dream lineage for the Holy Dao contention, they would typically have two choices: one is to be trapped within the Great Dream divine ability, endlessly repeating until death.”
“The second is to directly face the power of ‘Meng Yi’s’ true spirit…”
“Neither choice would allow for the subjugation of the Great Dream lineage. This was a contingency I set up back then. If I had not awakened but my Dao Companion had, then by the time I awakened, ‘Meng Yi’ might be on her last legs.”
“I cannot accept this.”
Chen Jiuyang’s heart trembled, no wonder…
The previous Ancestors had all said that to break through the divine ability of the Great Dream lineage, one had to trigger heavenly tribulation.
Now it seemed… ordinary heavenly tribulation might be meaningless. But how did Ancestor ‘Qing Jue’ achieve it back then?
Chen Jiuyang spoke, “Ancestor ‘Qiankun’, please bestow upon this disciple the method to subdue the ‘Great Dream’ lineage.”
Ancestor ‘Qiankun’ said, “This is not difficult. Learn my Dream-Breaking divine ability, and after the Holy Dao contention, inform my Dao Companion ‘Meng Yi’ of my awakening situation. Capture her trace of true spirit, and then use the Dream-Breaking divine ability, and you will be able to subdue the ‘Great Dream’ lineage.”
Chen Jiuyang asked, “May I ask what level of strength ‘Meng Yi’ Ancestor’s true spirit possesses?”
Ancestor ‘Qiankun’ pondered for a moment, then murmured, “If I remember correctly, it should be at the Martial Dao Great Saint level…”
Chen Jiuyang’s expression instantly stiffened.
