My whole clan is a master, I have become invincible by investing in my clan members

"Who says it's not? That's Jiuyi Tower, one of the most core inheritances of the entire Jiuyi Alchemy Alliance. Normally, let alone a Heavenly Rank Alchemist, even an Alchemy Saint wouldn't be qualified to enter and comprehend."

"Even the Alchemy Emperor has to go through the numerous tests of the Jiuyi Alchemy Alliance before he can even have a chance of comprehending it."

"What a great opportunity this is! And he actually refused it like that?!"

"Could it be that in Branch No. 8, there is something more precious than the Jiuyi Tower?"

"Who cares? Someone who can reject Jiuyi Tower... do you dare to say that he is not qualified to dominate the world in the future?"

"This person, I'm afraid, really has a glimmer of hope in becoming the Alchemy Emperor of this era!"

"Of course, that's as long as he doesn't die suddenly. After all, being too talented isn't always a good thing."

"You are right, my friend. After all, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!"

"People with talents like Jiang Yan usually don't live long."

..........

At this moment, four major events, including "Huang" entering the top 100 of the YuYu list, have caused an uproar in the Daluo Tianwang after five days of dissemination and fermentation!

Countless monks looked excited, as if they saw the arrival of a new era!

"A female emperor embryo with double pupils!"

"A ten-star alchemy monster!"

"A single punch to subdue the genius of Heaven's 'Huang'!"

"And there's also Jiang Luochen, who has the hope of becoming the Sword Master of Tianxu within three thousand years!"

"In the past, peerless monsters were rarely seen in a hundred thousand years, but now they appear one after another. Could it be that the era of great strife has arrived again?"

Many monks were terrified and felt that this era was about to change.

At this moment, someone suddenly said:

"By the way, did you notice? Jiang Yan, Jiang Luochen...both have the surname Jiang?"

"Could it be that they are really from the same clan?!"

"If this really comes from the same family... then doesn't that mean..."

"Hahaha, you're overthinking it. In my opinion, it's just a coincidence that we have the same last name."

"But what if it's not a coincidence?"

"Then this family might... go against the will of heaven."

There are many different opinions and the situation is very tense.

.........

at the same time.

the other side.

In the Five Realms World, the world behind the Huangquan Sect’s altar.

Because time flows at different speeds.

Only five days have passed in the outside world.

But for Jiang Han who was here, twenty-nine days had already passed!

The sun sets, and the afterglow is like blood.

The wine rippled slightly in the glass, reflecting the calm face.

Jiang Han was wearing plain clothes and sitting in the courtyard.

Green bricks, gray tiles, and wooden eaves with hanging bells.

When the wind blows, the bells ring softly.

He casually picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

But his eyes were always fixed on the thin figure in front of him.

"Chen Qingzhao..."

Jiang Han's eyes flickered with an indescribable complexity.

He has not been deliberately keeping a low profile in the past 29 days.

Instead, he used his superb medical skills to save many dying people.

Even the city lord's concubine who was having difficulty giving birth was saved by a single silver needle from him, saving both of their lives and escaping danger!

Since then, in just a few days, his fame shook the whole city!

The name "Dr. Jiang" spread like wildfire.

Many patients came with large sums of money, and the courtyard was filled with gold, silver and jewelry.

While he was getting familiar with this world, he also took the opportunity to diagnose and treat the patient.

After obtaining enough medical fees, he bought this quiet mansion in the city center.

At the same time, Chen Qingzhao's family was brought in and settled down.

Now, Chen's mother's illness has recovered.

Father Chen's energy and blood also recovered thanks to the marrow cleansing powder he refined. He practiced outside the courtyard every day, full of energy, and seemed like a completely different person.

To outsiders, everything seemed to be moving in the best direction.

But Jiang Han knew that all this... was just an illusion.

He slowly put down his wine glass, his eyes becoming more profound.

"Tomorrow is Chen Qingzhao's birthday."

"It was also the day when the demonic cultivators massacred the city."

"This world is finally going to reveal its true face."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

After these days of contact, they have become very familiar with each other.

It was precisely because of this that it was so difficult for him to imagine that this thin young man in front of him would actually embark on the path of Taoism as a mortal and become a great emperor in the future!

At this moment, she seemed to notice his gaze.

Chen Qingzhao, who was squatting by the pond feeding the fish, suddenly turned around.

Looking at his master's face, he grinned and suddenly said, "Master, it's great to meet you!"

After the words fell, Jiang Han withdrew his thoughts.

Then he looked at Chen Qingzhao deeply, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I am also very happy to meet you..."

The setting sun shines down.

The two of them just stared at each other, as if time had slowed down.

During these twenty-nine days, there has been no killing or fighting.

There is only firewood, rice, oil, salt, smoke from cooking and human voices.

And the sound of wind chimes in the breeze.

Faced with such a life, he was a little impatient at first.

But gradually... he got used to it.

And the state of mind that had experienced three years of killing was also washed away by this period of peaceful time, returning to its original simplicity and gaining many new insights.

..........

Shortly after.

Chen Qingzhao seemed to remember something.

So, he quickly put down the fish food, trotted over to Jiang Han, and said mysteriously, "Master, I've already thought of a wish for my birthday tomorrow!"

Jiang Han looked down at him and said calmly, "Tell me about it?"

Chen Qingzhao quickly waved her hands: "No, no, the wish won't work if I say it out loud!"

"You are quite particular." Jiang Han smiled.

"Of course!" Chen Qingzhao puffed out her chest and said seriously, "This is the most serious wish I've ever made in my life!"

"Oh?" Jiang Han smiled, "Then all your promises before were in vain?"

"How can they be the same!" Chen Qingzhao curled her lips. "How could I understand this before? Master once said, 'If a person lives without obsession, he is like a walking corpse.' This time, I made a wish with the greatest obsession, so it will definitely come true!"

Jiang Han laughed dumbly: "Okay, remember to get up early tomorrow morning, I prepared some glutinous rice balls for you."

"Really?" Chen Qingzhao's eyes lit up, "I want the one with osmanthus filling!"

"Are you picky about taste?" Jiang Han raised his eyebrows.

"Of course I have to choose! Wouldn't it be too meaningless to celebrate my birthday without eating something I like?"

The two of them chatted back and forth in a relaxed atmosphere.

at this time--

"Squeak-"

The gate was pushed open.

Su Wanyin, dressed in plain clothes, walked in, with gentle features, a mild expression, and steps as graceful as orchid.

Behind him, Chen Yan followed closely.

He changed into neat clothes today, which was a rare occasion, and looked much better than before.

At this time, the two of them first bowed respectfully to Jiang Han.

Then he looked at Chen Qingzhao.

Chen Yan coughed lightly a few times and was about to speak when he heard Su Wanyin speak first: "Qingzhao, there is a lantern festival tonight. Your father said that he wanted to take you out for a walk and buy some things for your birthday."

When Chen Qingzhao heard this, her eyes lit up instantly!

You have to know that in the past, the Lantern Festival was the most lively event of the year.

And this is also his favorite day.

So when he learned that there would be a lantern festival tonight, he couldn't wait to go out and play.

But thinking that his master was still there, he immediately suppressed his excitement and joy and said to Jiang Han, "Master, let's go together!"

"There's so much to do at the Lantern Festival! There are lantern riddles, sugar paintings, windmills, and red paper lanterns! If you go, it's bound to be really lively!"

Jiang Han looked at Chen Qingzhao who was looking expectant, and wanted to respond casually with "You guys just go."

But before he could say anything, he suddenly felt something and his expression became serious.

"No." He looked at Chen Qingzhao and said in a deep voice, "You guys go ahead. I... have something else to do."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Qingzhao lowered her head instantly, obviously disappointed.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask something.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay... Then I'll come back early."

Jiang Han nodded slightly: "Go."

At this time, Su Wanyin came over and held Chen Qingzhao's little hand.

He then looked at Jiang Han and said softly, "If you have any instructions, please feel free to speak up, Mr. Jiang."

"The entire Chen family is grateful for your kindness."

Jiang Han just smiled lightly and did not comment.

Seeing this, Su Wanyin just thought that the other party didn't like the hustle and bustle.

So, after bowing again, she immediately walked out of the yard with her husband and children.

Jiang Han watched them leave.

When the figure completely disappeared from sight.

Only then did he look away.

Then, he slowly raised his head and looked upwards.

The originally clear blue sky was unknowingly dyed with a layer of blood red!

That red was not the glow of the sunset, nor the sunset, but it looked like blood mixed into the sky.

Not only the sky, but even the sun, underwent amazing changes.

It is no longer blazing white.

Instead, it turned into a dark red that was even darker than the color of the sky.

The bloody sun is in the sky, illuminating the world.

It exudes a heart-pounding sense of oppression all the time!

But the people in the streets and alleys are still unaware of it.

The market was going on as usual, with children running around, lanterns hanging high, and the sounds of hawkers hawking.

Everyone was immersed in the upcoming lantern festival and was completely unaware.

Only Jiang Han, an outsider, realized something.

"The power is back."

He slowly stretched out his right hand.

With his five fingers slightly spread out, a yellow divine light appeared in the palm of his hand!

At this moment, he was surprised to find that the terrifying law that had suppressed him for twenty-nine days was now weakening at an extremely fast speed!

This also enabled him to finally mobilize some of his cultivation, rather than just his mortal body!

In addition, what concerned him more was another deeper level of perception.

"This world... is changing."

Jiang Han glanced around, his eyes becoming more solemn.

He could clearly sense that this world, which originally existed only for mortals, was evolving towards a more real and cruel direction.

There is no transition, no connection.

It was as if someone forcibly woke him up from his dream!

Even the boundary between dreams and reality becomes blurred at this moment.

It’s hard to tell truth from falsehood, like a dream but not a dream!

There was silence for a long time.

Jiang Han took a deep breath and sat cross-legged.

Then, he closed his eyes, released his spiritual sense, and explored everything!

Soon, the entire city was covered!

............

At this time, Chen Qingzhao was carrying a lantern in front of a street stall, holding the sugar figurines she had just bought in her hand, chattering non-stop.

Su Wanyin wiped the sweat from his forehead and gently reminded him not to run around.

Chen Yan stood aside and bargained with the vendor, his eyes full of doting when he looked at his son.

This scene is so heartwarming.

And as the divine consciousness spread.

Jiang Han was finally able to clearly perceive everything in this world.

The aroma of mutton boiling in a street pot.

The warmth of the small change hidden in Su Wanyin's waist pouch.

Children are laughing, women are spinning, people are singing in the tavern, and there is noise at the chess stall.

Everything is so real!

It was so real that he had an illusion, as if he had returned to the distant past.

But the next moment, as his spiritual consciousness continued to expand, he finally discovered the end of the world!

It's just ten miles away from the city.

There, there is no wind, no light, no mountains or rivers, only endless nothingness!

It was as if the entire world, since its birth, had only this isolated city!

"There's something fishy indeed..."

Jiang Han slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.

Combining all the clues he had at hand, he finally pieced together an astonishing guess.

“This is not the real past.”

“It’s not a reflection of history.”

"More like... a world forged by memories."

In his mind, Chen Qingzhao's words just now emerged:

"Master, I've already thought of a wish for my birthday tomorrow!"

It seems that since that sentence, the laws of the world have undergone subtle changes.

Now, he was almost certain.

"Chen Qingzhao must be the core of this world!"

"You could even say that the entire city, the entire world, exists because of him."

"Tomorrow's tenth birthday will be a turning point in his destiny."

"And the destruction of the city is very likely... the end of this dream."

"But why did he do this?"

Jiang Han was full of doubts.

You know, he is a peerless figure who has reached the pinnacle.

He once regarded "death" and "return to silence" as the Dharma, and "obsession" and "reincarnation" as the Tao.

Millions of years ago, he was the strongest in the world!

But such a great emperor... actually spent all his efforts to create such a dream that is difficult to distinguish between true and false and almost real?

There must be a hidden secret!

"What do you want to retrieve?"

"Is it regret, thought, or persistence?"

"Still unwilling?"

Jiang Han narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself, "Or perhaps, he wants to... live another life?"

When these four words came out, even he himself was shocked.

If someone else put forward this conjecture, they would definitely be regarded as a lunatic.

But if it is Emperor Huangquan... he really has the possibility and the qualifications!

"In the dream world of one's own making, one allows a certain 'line of fate' to repeat itself in exchange for... the opportunity to change one's fate."

"What a great gesture!"

"However, it's okay."

"Only one more day... will the secret be revealed."

He raised his head and looked towards the sky.

The bloody sun hung in the sky, dark and unclear, and extremely creepy.

But the streets are still bustling with traffic and people are hurrying by.

No one noticed the strangeness of the light.

It was as if they had lived under this blood color since birth and had never doubted it.

Or perhaps, in their eyes, the sky at this moment is still as blue as ever and has not changed.
