Beauty helps me achieve immortality

at the same time.

The news reached various ancient tribes and five sacred sites.

When these forces received the notification, the details were far more extensive than Zhao Qing had known.

Each branch of the Jade Capital has its own messengers who convey the will of the people.

—The Jade Mandarin Duck Tower has been rebuilt, and the Nangong family has taken over!

It was less than half an hour after Zhao Qing received the message.

The entire Central Plains was already engulfed in turmoil!

The Ye, Fang, Xia, Xiao, and Huangfu clans... the five heads of the clans of this generation gathered at the Nangong clan's territory to discuss matters face to face!

We are all members of the Immortal Clan of Zhongzhou.

The Jane family's recent surge in influence is due to the fact that they have a powerful figure who returned from overseas after a calamity.

But how many years has it been since the first ancestor of the Nangong clan died of old age?

Three years ago.

When the calamity struck, the Nangong clan fled overseas, disappearing without a trace.

But what's going on now?!

Three years have passed.

The Nangong clan, formerly an ancient clan, has suddenly become one of the Jade Capital Star Palaces!?

What's the meaning! ?

...Has the three-year period come to an end?

incredible!

The Huangfu clan, in particular, was utterly horrified; the clan head turned green with rage.

The seven tribes of Zhongzhou have a long history, and while they have clashed, they have also cooperated quite often.

But everyone always considers the few people who have walked the path in their family as their true foundation.

Generations of struggle have unfolded on this vast and sacred land.

It's always been a case of one act ending and another beginning!

The previous generation's struggle for mobility.

The Nangong clan produced a Jade Mandarin Duck Walker, and the Huangfu clan produced a Nine Swords Walker.

And now, this era is just beginning.

On the Ascending Immortal Ladder, dozens of Daoist disciples competed fiercely. The Huangfu family emerged victorious, with a prodigy descendant from their family ascending to the position of Liyan Walker!

But in the blink of an eye!

How did the Nangong family manage to replace the entire Cuiyuan Tower?!

The absurdity of this.

It's almost as if everyone else has already ascended to heaven in broad daylight, while they're still playing in the mud in their crotches!

now!

Outside the empty Nangong clan territory.

The five clan heads and more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators gathered together, gazing at the empty clan in the distance, their expressions filled with indescribable shock and bewilderment.

Even more...

After a long silence, the head of the Xia family...

With a dry, bitter laugh, he asked, "So... will the Nangong family return to Zhongzhou next?"

"Or perhaps... the Jade Mandarin Sacred Land has descended upon Zhongzhou?"

Has the Nangong clan returned to Shengzhou?

The Sacred Land of Emerald Mandarin Ducks has descended upon the Holy Continent!?

Yes.

Each family has passed down its traditions through generations, engaging in a power struggle in this central region for millennia.

Now that the Nangong clan has become one of the Star Palaces, a sacred ground will surely fall upon them!

But this—

That's nothing at all!

The new head of the Ye clan frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said helplessly, "Then... will the location where Cuiyuan is walking appear among the various clans next?"

As soon as these words came out.

The dozen or so high-ranking members of the ancient clans present were all speechless.

What do you mean?

We'll have to fight tooth and nail for the position of Jade Mandarin Duck Walker.

After overcoming numerous hardships and expending resources from all sides, they finally accumulated enough foundation to establish the Jade Mandarin Duck Journey and obtain the resources promised by the Jade Mandarin Duck Tower...

Suddenly looking up, I saw Nangong's toes!

???

nowadays!

Throughout the entire Central Continent, let alone these family heads and high-ranking officials.

Even the patriarchs of the various ancestral halls in the clan, the elders and powerful figures of the Five Sacred Lands, and even the immortal lords who live in seclusion in Yaohua Palace!

These were all unprecedented exchanges and interactions!

numb!

Completely numb!

I thought that the arrival of the Dao Tribulation was a momentous event that would break the chronology of the entire Jade Capital in the past few thousand years!

But who could have imagined that Cuiyuan would die afterward!

The lineage of the Jade Mandarin Duck has vanished like smoke!

Many immortal lords scattered and departed!

The tradition has been severed!

This earth-shattering change in the layout of the Jade Capital didn't even give the world a much chance to react...

Okay.

Nangong Shi, ascend to the position of Cuiyuan!

The main problem is!

These two parties don't seem to have any connection whatsoever.

Isn't it one in the heavens and the other on the earth?

……

·

now.

Not only was the Central Plains shaken, but the whole world was stirred!

Even beyond the vast wilderness, to the distant ocean.

The Nangong clan, in the Mingxin Hall.

Nangong himself was completely bewildered. The remaining few cultivators looked at each other in confusion. The two immortal lords, the Third Ancestor and the Thirteenth Ancestor, had somewhat unfocused and absent-minded eyes!

Especially the thirteenth patriarch, Nangong Cangyuan.

At this moment, his face was slightly distorted, as if he were suffering... or laughing... or worried... or even relieved!

His heart was filled with mixed feelings, and his expression was extremely complicated!

The various factions around the world are unaware of the current situation.

How could he not understand?

With five clans under their control and two cities under their combined control... the Nangong family is nothing but a puppet.

But in reality...

It's also an incredible opportunity!

Back then, the first ancestor of the Nangong clan worked diligently to establish the family as an ancient clan, becoming one of the giants of the Central Plains.

Now look what's happened!

The family had actually become one of the Jade Capital Star Palaces under his own control!

Nangong Cangyuan: ...

Ancestors above!

...I don't know!

...I didn't do anything.

But at this moment.

In this Mingxin Hall, it is not only the ancestral temple of the Nangong clan that remains silent.

Tianxiang Xiaolouzhu and Ji Kuanglan did not leave.

They looked at each other in silence, and remained so for a long time.

In particular, Ziju received a message from her master.

She was to remain in the Nangong clan temporarily, to carry out Yao Huaque's will, and to jointly manage the Nangong clan with the other branches...

As for Ji Kuanglan...

He was summoned back by the Grand Elder of the Bodhi Holy Land.

It's clear that Bodhi has nothing to do here anymore.

Among the five towers and two cities jointly controlled by Nangong Cuiyuan, there is no Bodhi lineage.

By now.

Even Ji Kuanglan's thoughts were fragmented, and he felt deeply confused and bewildered.

The words Xiao Zhaoqing had said earlier were still echoing in my mind!

“In the past, the Jade Mandarin Duck was magnificent and at its peak.”

"Holding the key waterway, they wield power over the major roads and punish all evil."

"A message of peace arrives again, aiding in the pacification of the land..."

"And the Nangong family has stood tall in the Holy State for over ten thousand years."

"Several jade-green maidens walked out of the clan."

"The matter of seeking jade throughout the world has also fallen into the hands of the Nangong family many times."

"However, now the jade mandarin duck has been overthrown."

"When the Jade Capital is empty, Heaven and Earth are in turmoil."

In my opinion...

"—Nangong clan, let's go to the Immortal Illusion Hall for a meeting."

Ji Kuanglan narrowed his eyes, staring at the empty seat of the Sixth Patriarch opposite him. Every word he heard echoed in his ears, all of it was the nonsense that Xiao Zhaoqing had spouted earlier!

Now look what's happened...

"call……"

He was shocked and bewildered, so he simply took his leave.

However, after getting up, he bowed to the three members of the Tianxiang group to say goodbye.

He still bowed respectfully to Patriarch Nangong Thirteen: "Congratulations!"

"Disciple Ji Kuanglan will take his leave now."

What a joke! ?

Even a puppet possesses the full cultivation of an Immortal Lord, and is one of the Lords of the Jade Capital Tower...

He bid farewell to Nangong Cangyuan in this way.

Nangong Cangyuan, on the other hand, was clearly unable to adapt at all.

He nodded with a belated smile, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Fellow Daoist, go."

Ji Kuanglan: ...

!

Damn it!

He knew all too well that the Nangong family was about to become a mess of intertwined clans.

But I've lost interest in watching the spectacle.

With a single step, Yu Zhou left the clan's secret realm and, having found his way, headed back to the state.

But just then...

The communication scroll on his body rippled.

News has arrived from within the state...

"Kuanglan, what's going on?"

"do you know?"

Ji Kuanglan held the secret scroll in his hand, and his eyelids trembled involuntarily.

This is a message from the Five Elements of Purple Pearl.

—Cha Sheng.

He hesitated for a moment, then calmly asked, "You're back?"

soon.

The other party replied.

"Ah."

"He returned before the disaster."

"At that time, Master issued a secret edict, and many fellow Daoists from Zizhu returned from the watery ridge."

"I have been meditating in the Starry Sky recently."

"What's the situation with the Nangong family?"

"My third senior brother made arrangements, saying that I should go to the Nangong Clan to cultivate quietly and observe the situation..."

"How did the Nangong clan become one of the Star Palaces?"

Are you currently overseas?

Ji Kuanglan: ...

He squinted slightly, watching the messages in his hand come one after another.

Cha Laowu was like a chatterbox.

Now, however, he has no interest in replying at all...

He immediately put away the secret scroll and didn't reply, having already read it.

Looking out at the distant sky and the vast sea, he murmured softly, "You'll understand when you get there... It was all done by an idiot."

……

……

In less than half a day.

The news of the Jade Mandarin Duck's reconstruction caused a great stir throughout the entire Jade Capital!

The original disciples of Cuiyuan from various states gathered together, excitedly asking and exchanging questions!

Only... Nangong himself was restless and at a loss, and had not made any move yet.

They even kept this matter hidden in the Mingxin Hall, so that the disciples of the clan were completely unaware of it.

This is both a great opportunity and a great terror.

Within the state.

Yongning Land.

Zhao Qing and Sister Zhang traveled together and met Lianyin at Wuyaifeng.

He then hurriedly returned, and was transported by ferry from Yongning Prefecture to the Wanxi Palace overseas...

Zhao Qing did not see the Phoenix.

When they met Lianyin, Huangnu had already left.

"The emperor didn't leave behind many instructions."

"Just say that Phoenix Tower will not get involved for the time being, and Qingjun will make the decision first."

"In addition... this primordial spirit talisman."

Lianyin was now all smiles, exuding charm and reminiscence after leaving the Immortal Palace.

She raised her hand in a gesture, a wisp of primordial spirit coiling around her fair wrist.

That was something the Phoenix wanted her to bring to Qingjun...

It might be for the two of them to communicate with in the future.

Zhao Qing glanced at it casually and roughly understood its purpose, but realized that the Phoenix could sense the border situation through this wisp of primordial spirit.

There are no wild guesses at the moment.

And bringing this wisp of primordial spirit to Xiao Qingying... won't have any impact on my family.

now.

Zhang Jin smiled knowingly, but didn't exchange anything with his junior brother.

He leaned against the small couch alone, playing with the communication jade.

Clearly, we have received numerous messages and inquiries from various parties...

Seeing that Sister Zhang seemed to be enjoying herself quite a bit, Zhao Qing didn't disturb her, content to stay and savor the moment for a while...

It is right before our eyes.

The senior sister on the couch raised her eyes with a relaxed air, glancing over lightly, her magnetic voice tinged with teasing: "The person to oversee the Nangong family over Zizhu has been chosen."

"Judging from Cha Wu's attitude."

"The one appointed by the Medicine Master should be the current Third Attendant."

"However... the three factions did not show up, but instead sent Cha Wu to the Nangong family to observe."

"What do you think...this means?"

Zhao Qing: ...

?

What does "purple pearl walking three times" mean?

How could he possibly know?

However, given that the seven lineages jointly control the Nangong clan, it's understandable that Zizhu ultimately allowed the current generation of five lineages to take charge.

He frowned slightly and asked Sister Zhang with a puzzled look, "Does Sister Zhang mean that this Senior Brother Cha is not up to the task?"

of course.

Sister Zhang smiled lightly, as if she were very familiar with her peers.

He bluntly mocked, "A piece of trash, but he's alright at alchemy."

"Keep up the good work, once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you'll be able to beat him to death..."

Zhao Qing: ...

Don't say that.

They are all seniors, all senior brothers.

however.

Just as he chuckled and shook his head, he sat down next to his senior sister to observe the complex communication.

A slight movement also came from his own body!

It's a stone gu hidden in my sleeve!

"Qingrao's side..."

Zhao Qing whispered, gesturing to Sister Zhang and the Demon Lord, before taking out the Stone Gu and activating it directly.

After all, the Bone Woman's Stone Gu telepathic communication wouldn't say anything nonsensical.

If Ningmei makes any noise, he'll have to listen to her first to see if she's up to any shady jokes...

soon.

The spiritual energy of the stone gu in the palm of the hand flows.

Under the questioning gazes of the three, a woman's cool whisper rang out.

"Husband."

"I can't go back for the time being..."

"Recently, I need to follow my fifth senior sister to the Nangong family."

"If anything happens to the Nangong family, they will contact us privately..."

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing...

The Bone Woman went to the Nangong Clan?

He and Sister Zhang had just been discussing the situation, so this wasn't surprising.

Judging by their posture...

The person from Baiyu's lineage who came forward should be Baiyu's Fifth Senior Sister, but it's unclear what she's doing with Bone Woman.

In this regard.

After a moment's thought, he replied to Qingrao, "Take care of yourself."

"I also want to see my master. Perhaps we can meet with the Nangong clan..."

Say it.

Zhao Qing examined the stone artifact and confirmed that the message had been sent.

He then put it away and chuckled with Sister Zhang, saying, "Bai Yu's side also produced a Five Elements item."

"In that case, it's not surprising that Zizhu produced a Five Elements cultivator."

"Maybe you also..."

Just as Zhao Qing was pondering this, Zhang Jinyi smiled and gave his junior brother a mocking look.

"Do not."

"Your bell is still sealed in the Dragon Transformation Pool."

"You don't want it anymore?"

Zhao Qing:?

He was startled upon hearing this.

What bell?!

My bell?

He quickly realized what was happening and stared at his senior sister speechlessly.

"You mean..."

"The person Zizhu sent to the Nangong family was ostensibly Cha Sheng, but was it actually that Lingdang?"

Sister Zhang looked amused.

After giving her a disdainful look, he met Lianyin's beautiful eyes in silence.

I didn't say that...

But do you think it's possible that Master Zizhu will stop contacting you after that?

From the time before the calamity to this moment, Zhang Jin gradually saw things more clearly.

It seems that the Medicine King and Master are about to cooperate temporarily.

It's a tacit understanding, a mutual tacit agreement, that has never been spoken.

Looking back now, it all started when Master sensed his impending death and allowed Zhao Qing to see the Medicine Master...

Although these two have never had any direct communication.

However, their previous attitudes towards the chaos had already been conveyed to each other through Zhao Qing...

Zhao Qing: ...

He pondered for a moment and understood Sister Zhang's implication.

But I didn't take it to heart.

Ultimately, whether Zizhu sent Cha Wu or Lingdang achieved a kind of personal presence was not of much concern to him.

After all, Xiao Qingying lives at home, so he'll definitely follow his master's wishes...

And right now.

A faint gloomy light flickered in his mind, and from Si He's side at home, he could hear excited mutterings coming from...

"It's so lively outside."

“Xi Mei just whispered to her aunt.”

"Tianxiang Tower, send Ling Guqing to the Nangong Clan to establish the lineage of Tianxiang Yuelian."

"I, a mere Tianxiang cultivator, had no idea about this... I've been kicked out of Tianxiang..."

—Ling Guqing.

Xi'er's master, the previous sect leader of Yue Lian, cultivated in Si You Que after the calamity.

Zhao Qing couldn't help but sigh. Although he had created this spectacle by bragging, he could only watch from the sidelines now.

He pondered for a moment, then complained to Si He, "You must have been kicked out by Tianxiang, why are you still thinking about it?"

"Does my master really think he's walking on air, like a walking incense stick?"

……
