East Sea Immortal Mountain, Daiyu Island.
Daiyu Island was not an isolated island, but a group of more than ten small islands. It was like a county with more than ten villages under its jurisdiction.
Seventeen small islands were scattered randomly on the sea. Although the islands were not connected, they were not very far apart either.
As far as the eye could see, it was all clear and transparent seawater, fine golden beaches, and lush forests …
This place was like a pure land that had never been polluted by industry. Everything was so beautiful.
In such a paradise, it was natural that it would be flourishing and flourishing.
Therefore, the residents of the island all had the same surname — Jiang.
One had to know that the origin of surnames could be traced back to the birth of new humans. At that time, humans were still in a matriarchal system, so many surnames had the word 'woman' in them.
Jiang was one of the eight great ancient surnames.
Ever since the ancient cultivators left, the Jiang clansmen left on Earth had sealed themselves on Daiyu Island.
If not for the serious dangers of close kin reproduction and the need to inject new blood into the clan from time to time, the Jiang clan would never allow any outsiders to set foot on Daiyu Island.
It was precisely because the Jiang clan had followed the ancestral teachings of seclusion for so many years that the Jiang clan's inheritance was extremely complete.
This had become the thing that the Jiang Clan was most proud of.
Just like the rumors in the outside world, they were what the ordinary cultivators were talking about …
Descendants of Immortals.
However, due to the gradual weakening of Earth's spirit energy, even the ancient cultivators could only stay away from it, let alone these 'abandoned children' left behind on Earth.
Therefore, rather than saying that the Jiang clan was conserving their strength, it was better to say that they were struggling at death's door here.
At their worst, there was not even a single Immortal in the entire Jiang clan …
However, this was all in the past. With the gradual recovery of spirit energy, the Jiang clan was about to welcome its most glorious moment.
The current clan leader, Jiang Yuankui, was very confident about this.
On this day.
Jiang Yuankui was handling clan affairs in the ancestral hall of Qixia Peak when a clan disciple suddenly came to report, interrupting his train of thought.
"Clan Leader, someone wants to see you."
"Who is it?"
"This person is from the All Saints Valley. His name is Qin Yongyan …"
"All Saints Valley? Wasn't it destroyed long ago? "
Jiang Yuankui repeated this phrase, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
It was obvious that there had been some unpleasantness between Dai Yu Island and All Saints Valley.
Jiang Yuankui pondered for a moment, then coldly said to the messenger, "It seems that those old things are really dead. Now, a junior of the Yong generation wants to see me? Tell him to scram! "
Hearing this, the messenger had an extremely awkward expression on his face.
After a moment of hesitation, he said cautiously, "Sir, that person also said that … he, he is Mr. Chen's father-in-law …"
"Mr. Chen?"
Jiang Yuankui froze for a moment. Then, he seemed to think of something, but he wasn't sure. He frowned and asked, "Which Mr. Chen?"
"He's the one who soared to immortality with a single sword strike in Taihang Mountain …"
Jiang Yuankui was silent.
After a long moment of silence, he said solemnly, "Tell him to come see me."
"Yes, Patriarch."
…
At the foot of Qixia Peak.
Qin Yongyan stood proudly in front of the mountain gate in a plain robe.
Although it was called a peak, it was actually only a few dozen meters high.
From afar, one could see the cornice of the ancestral shrine at the top of the mountain.
Perhaps it was because no stranger had appeared on Dai Yu Island for a long time, so when Qin Yongyan stood there, countless Jiang family members couldn't help but come to take a look.
Qin Yongyan was like an old monk in meditation. After standing there for more than ten minutes, the Jiang Clan member who went to deliver the message hurriedly rushed over.
"Mr. Qin, please come with me."
Then, the man led Qin Yongyan to the square outside the ancestral shrine.
Qin Yongyan had been silent the whole time, but when he arrived at the square, he set his eyes on the giant bronze cauldron.
This giant cauldron …
All Saints Valley once had one.
Qin Yongyan didn't have to wait long in the square before a man in a brown brocade robe strode out.
This man looked about the same age as him, probably in his forties, but his tone was slightly arrogant.
As soon as he saw Qin Yongyan, he asked impatiently, "Tell me, why are you here?"
"Junior Qin Yongyan greets Mr. Jiang."
Cultivators naturally couldn't be judged by their appearances.
Although Jiang Yuankui's attitude wasn't good, Qin Yongyan still bowed respectfully to him.
Jiang Yuankui naturally had the right to be arrogant.
After all, his age and seniority were much higher than Qin Yongyan's.
However …
When Jiang Yuankui approached Qin Yongyan, he suddenly realized …
Qin Yongyan had actually stepped into the Celestial Being Realm, which surprised Jiang Yuankui quite a bit.
A junior with the surname "Yong" should be between forty and sixty years old, but he had already stepped into the Celestial Being Realm?
This kind of cultivation aptitude was rare even in the Jiang family. No wonder this man dared to climb Qixia Peak alone to ask for a meeting.
Jiang Yuankui frowned as he sized up Qin Yongyan.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Qin Yongyan cupped his hands and bowed. He said directly, "I know that outsiders are not allowed to set foot on Daiyu Island. The reason why I came so abruptly this time is that I have a question that I would like to ask Mr. Jiang."
"Tell me about it."
Because the Jiang family's inheritance was relatively complete, since ancient times, many cultivators had wanted to come to the island to seek guidance.
Under normal circumstances, if it didn't involve too many secrets, or if he happened to be in a good mood at that time, the Jiang family's patriarch would answer the question, which could be considered as forming a good relationship with the outside world.
As a result, the Jiang family's reputation naturally became more and more well-known.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
Qin Yongyan bowed again, then slowly said, "I have an only daughter, who entered the ancestral hall at the age of eight and became Xuan Nu … In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed, and my daughter has married and has children, living a stable and happy life …"
Qin Yongyan narrated in a calm tone.
But when Jiang Yuankui heard the two words "Xuan Nu", he frowned on the spot.
This was because he had already guessed what Qin Yongyan wanted to ask.
Just as expected.
Qin Yongyan said some seemingly long-winded words, but in the end, he suddenly changed the topic and said, "My wife is also Xuan Nu, so I know very well that most Xuan Nu won't live past forty …"
"This kind of tragedy has happened once before, and now it's happening to my daughter again …"
"Let me say something disrespectful to the ancestors …"
"If I could turn back time, even if I had to sacrifice my life, I would never let my daughter become Xuan Nu!"
"Unfortunately …"
"It's too late, it's too late to say anything now …"
Speaking up to this point, Qin Yongyan raised his head and glanced at Jiang Yuankui. Then, with a solemn expression, he said, "This junior has heard that most of the mystical maidens of the Jiang Clan will have good endings. Therefore, I took the liberty to visit. I only hope that Mister Jiang can dispel this junior's doubts and save my daughter who has finally managed to live a good life …"
After saying this, Qin Yongyan bowed again, very respectfully to Jiang Yuankui.
Jiang Yuankui silently looked at Qin Yongyan.
After being silent for a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Get up first."
Hearing this, Qin Yongyan's face lit up with joy.
Just as he was about to thank him, he heard Jiang Yuankui sigh and say, "I'm very sorry …"
