Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

266: If that little monkey is really capable, I can afford to lose!Qin Jiang couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised upon hearing this, but if the Dao Lands weren’t included, it wasn’t too outrageous.

However, he always felt that the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign was being modest; perhaps he didn’t control several Dao Lands, but at least a few were likely on good terms with the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty.

And the most interesting point was whether these Immortal Sects knew about the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign’s schemes.

He re-evaluated the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign; reaching the stage the man described was no longer something that could be achieved simply by saying the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty had deep foundations.

In comparison, it was likely that even some Immortal Kings in ancient history could not have achieved this during their time as Immortal Lords.

“Fellow Daoist possesses great talent; Qin is impressed,” he smiled.

The Emperor Ancestor Sovereign looked at Qin Jiang, seemingly not having received the answer he wanted.

“Fellow Daoist, I speak the truth. Over these years, although I have expanded the number of Heavenly Soldiers on a large scale, it was not for the sake of hegemony, but for fear of dying in this Underworld Great Tribulation.

In fact, I have already arranged for my aftermath. If I live or die, the Imperial Preceptor will assist Ming Luo in ascending the throne.

Although Ming Luo’s methods are a bit aggressive, with troubled times approaching, perhaps heavy penalties should indeed be used.

However, after he ascends the throne, perhaps he will change just as I did.”

Qin Jiang did not speak upon hearing this. After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly. “Since that is the case, then you may take the Five Dragon Scales Great Art and use it.”

One cannot judge those in the past from the perspective of a successor. The Emperor Ancestor Sovereign’s vision has already transcended eras.

The Emperor Ancestor Sovereign showed a look of joy upon hearing this and bowed deeply toward Qin Jiang. “Many thanks, Fellow Daoist.”

Standing up, he sat down directly on the ground in a casual manner, placed the Dragon Spear in his hand to the side, and with a wave of his hand, a low stone table appeared before him.

Tea was set on the low table, with steam still rising from it.

“I have heard that Fellow Daoist enjoys tea. This was planted by the Ancestor King himself; although it is of mortal quality, it is tainted with a trace of Immortal King Qi.”

Qin Jiang also sat down, picked up the teacup, and took a light sip.

Bitter, extremely bitter.

“Fellow Daoist, I have one more matter I would like to consult with you about; it concerns the Eastern Journey,” the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign spoke.

Qin Jiang was somewhat surprised to hear this. The Eastern Journey was a joint venture between the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty and the Exquisite Dao Land; what was there to consult him about?

“Please speak, Fellow Daoist.”

The Emperor Ancestor Sovereign nodded and looked directly at Qin Jiang. “Does Fellow Daoist know the true purpose of the Eastern Journey?”

The true purpose?

Qin Jiang set down his teacup. “Is it not the Opportunity to break through to the Immortal King realm?”

The Emperor Ancestor Sovereign smiled and shook his head. “Not so. The true purpose of the Eastern Journey is to let the Emperor Ancestor Immortal King reappear in the world.”

Qin Jiang’s brow twitched. “Let the Emperor Ancestor Immortal King reappear in the world? You mean, the Emperor Ancestor Immortal King is dead?”

“I don’t know, but after successive generations of Sovereigns come into contact with the Emperor Ancestor Immortal Seal, they learn one thing: when the Chosen One descends to the world, the Ancestor King falls.”

The Emperor Ancestor Sovereign spoke. In fact, he didn’t believe it at first, but after the Chosen One was born, the Emperor Ancestor Immortal Seal seemed to fall into silence, sitting quietly in the Ancestral Shrine.

Regardless of whether he believed it or not, the Eastern Journey had to begin given this abnormal phenomenon.

“Few people know of this matter. Aside from the Imperial Preceptor and the Exquisite Immortal Lord, now only I and Fellow Daoist know. I ask that Fellow Daoist does not spread this.”

If it were known that the Emperor Ancestor Immortal King was dead, the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty might face a great crisis in the future.
