I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Void Island, inner Purple Mansion.

While the Jiang family's higher-ups were refining the Dragon-Slaying Platform on the island, the clan leader and his family stayed in the Purple Mansion.

At this moment, Jiang Tianxing returned to the Purple Mansion and landed in the central palace complex.

As soon as they landed in Tianxing Palace, they saw that the maids were somewhat panicked. The lady's personal maid was like a mouse seeing a cat, and she turned around and went to the inner palace.

"return."

Jiang Tianxing realized that she was going to inform someone, so he stopped her, concealed his presence, and went to her bedchamber.

When he heard some noise inside, Jiang Tianxing pushed open the door and entered, where he saw his wife, Qin Qing, standing in front of a long table.

On the table is a realistic sand table, showing a magnificent building complex amidst beautiful mountains and rivers.

Upon seeing him enter, Qin Qing quickly put the sand table into her storage bag, her pretty face showing a hint of panic.

"I thought it was something serious, why all the secrecy?" Jiang Tianxing said helplessly.

"The Dragon-Slaying Platform has been successfully refined?" Qin Qing cleverly changed the subject.

Speaking of this, Jiang Tianxing sighed and recounted the commotion at the Dragon-Slaying Platform and Jiang Changkong's enlightenment about the power of heaven and earth.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence? The world is vast, it can't necessarily be because of Jiang Changkong," Qin Qing said.

"The First Ancestor brought him to Void Island, and the Dragon-Slaying Platform made noise again," Jiang Tianxing said.

"How could he get into Void Island!"

Qin Qing felt offended. This was the main branch's territory, and because of the Dragon Slaying Platform incident, the higher-ups had to come in to refine it.

As a junior, Jiang Changkong is not qualified.

“We didn’t come in; we just observed the reaction of the Dragon-Slaying Platform from the outside,” Jiang Tianxing said.

"So, the Jiang family's divine son is already his for the taking?"

"That's what the ancestral temple means."

"What did the First Ancestor say?"

"The First Ancestor said that he would first establish the Jiang family's divine son, and give me a hundred years to transition and peacefully hand over the right to succession."

"Hmph, every change of leadership has been bloody and brutal! I don't believe in that nonsense."

Qin Qing made a firm decision and said resolutely, "Master, I cultivate the Mingyu Gong, which allows me to transfer my cultivation level to others. These days, I've not only been building the world, but also preparing Mingyu Pills. With my Heavenly Supreme cultivation, I should be able to help Ming'er reach the Yuantai Realm. In my lifetime, I can become an Earthly Supreme and also a Supreme in my own right, with the ability to protect myself."

“But in that case, you’ll be no different from a cripple.” Jiang Tianxing’s pupils trembled, and he finally understood why the lady was so mysterious.

“If I cared about martial arts, I wouldn’t have given up the chance to be a saintess and come to your Jiang family. As a woman, isn’t the purpose to carry on the family line? I can’t give birth, and I don’t want you to take concubines and keep your cultivation. Wouldn’t that be selfish?”

Qin Qing said, "Don't talk about me. You got an immortal herb from the ancestral court, saying it was for your own breakthrough to the Dominator Realm. Didn't you want to refine the legendary Heaven-Mending Pill to cleanse Ming'er's marrow and change his talent?"

"How did you know, Madam?!"

"After being husband and wife for so many years, I can tell which way you're going just by the way you move your feet." Qin Qing's beautiful face revealed a hint of pride.

"With the Heaven-Mending Pill, even if Ming'er doesn't reach the level of a prodigy, he can still cultivate normally and won't need the Jade Bright Pill."

"No, combining the Bright Jade Pill with the Heaven-Mending Pill is the best of both worlds," Qin Qing insisted.

The resources and preciousness of the combined Mingyu Pill and the Heaven-Mending Pill are enough to make even a Sovereign Realm expert envious.

Outsiders can't understand why they're using their money on a useless body, but to the parents, it's perfectly normal.

Everything comes at a price, and Qin Qing and Jiang Tianxing will also ruin their martial arts future.

“Very well, once I’m no longer the clan leader, you and I, husband and wife, will travel and explore the Xuanhuang Great World,” Jiang Tianxing said.

“Who would want to travel and enjoy the scenery with you? I still want to take care of Ming’er and help him get married and have children.”

"His fiancée is probably out of the question."

"It's alright, as long as the Tianlan Dynasty doesn't stage a scene of annulment."

……

Tianlan Dynasty, Supreme Golden Hall.

"The invitation to the 300th birthday celebration has arrived. We can't wait any longer. The news is becoming clearer: the Jiang family is about to change hands. This engagement must be called off!"

King Tianlan had lost count of how many times he had tried to persuade his daughter to break off the engagement.

Dynasty factions are extremely sensitive to choosing sides; if they wait until Jiang Changkong becomes a divine son, it will be too late.

"Yunxi, let's not change our engagement, even if it offends the Jiang family. Let's break off the engagement first!"

King Tianlan was much more confident than before, and no longer thought of using the marriage agreement to bind the Jiang family to his cause.

This confidence comes from Yunxi.

She did not participate in the Hidden Dragon Competition because she had already broken through to the Supreme Realm before that.

Yunxi knew her advantage: she had the ability to foresee the future and had decades of experience ahead of her peers.

She doesn't strive to stand out from her generation, but rather to continuously improve herself.

Now, she has reached the Great Perfection of Earthly Sovereign.

If he breaks through to the Heavenly Sovereign realm, he will be the youngest Heavenly Sovereign in the Northern Region, and may even break the record of the Xuan Tian Sect Master, becoming the youngest Sovereign Realm expert.

To Tianlan Wang's dismay, Yunxi refused to annul the engagement no matter what he said.

“The engagement is just a formality, Father. There’s no need to do something so meaningless at this time,” Yunxi said.

Chaos is imminent, and everyone will be too busy taking care of themselves to care about marriage agreements.

Most importantly, she felt that doing so would affect her luck.

During her last trip to the Xuantian Sect, she witnessed a series of changes brought about by Xuantianzi Shen Ming, confirming the claim that he was the chosen one of destiny.

As far as she knew, the young master of the Jiang family was also in the Xuantian Sect, so he would inevitably benefit from some of their fortune.

"You still call me Father, so you must listen to me!" King Tianlan had never been reborn, so changing his betrothed was the best option for him. But since his daughter was unwilling, he would annul the engagement.

His refusal to even annul the engagement truly angered him.

“I am not speaking to you as your father, but as your king and your subject!” King Tianlan said in a deep voice.

Yunxi had anticipated this, and with a pat on her storage bag, five golden lights suddenly appeared.

King Tianlan was startled, thinking his daughter was about to rebel, but her cultivation level was not high enough.

When King Tianlan saw clearly the object formed by the five golden rays, his expression froze.

All five Dao weapons were inherited from the Tianlan Dynasty. Moreover, these Dao weapons all possess weapon spirits.

"The late emperor forged the golden mace to uphold the Wang family and protect the people!"

The first Taoist weapon is a golden mace, its spirit is majestic and extraordinary, and its sound is like a resounding bell.

"The late emperor personally forged the dragon-shaped staff, loyally protecting the king's glory like the sun and moon!"

"Bestowed by the late emperor, the King-Slaying Whip, to ensure the Wang family's eternal prosperity!"

"By the late Emperor's own decree, the Purple Gold Hammer shows no mercy even to a thousand soldiers!"

"The late emperor personally used the dragon-headed staff to strike down the tyrannical ruler and eliminate the treacherous ministers!"

The spirits of the other four Daoist weapons appeared one after another; they were all famous ministers and fierce generals in the history of the Tianlan Dynasty.

"what?"

The King of Tianlan was dumbfounded. It was just a matter of announcing the engagement, but why did it seem like he was about to lose his kingdom?

He could no longer persuade her, and watched Yunxi walk out of the Supreme Golden Hall, still feeling unwilling.

Ugh!

Suddenly, King Tianlan had a brilliant idea. His eyes lit up, and he held up one finger.
