Chapter 594: Ying Tian Xian Is Truly Qi Lin Xian's Good Brother

Chapter 604: Immortal Yingtian is Truly Immortal Qilin's Good Brother

Most demon races didn't recognize Jiang Lianyi, but how could Chief Jin, as the leader of the Qiongqi tribe, not know her?

The true form of demon immortals was unknown. The Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor were the strongest among all demons, idols to every demon race. They held an exceptionally influential position within the demon world.

Ancient Dijiang was famous, but compared to these two, she still fell short.

The Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors had participated in the Immortal Contention War, and even though they lost, they did so with honor.

Ancient Dijiang didn't even qualify to participate in the Immortal Contention War; the gap was obvious.

If the Young Ancestor were present, Chief Jin would definitely not beg for mercy.

The problem wasn't that he had no one to support him now. The Young Ancestor heard that Ancient Dijiang had declared herself empress and didn't even show any interest in coming. If Chief Jin were to act tough in front of an ancient great demon like Jiang Lianyi, what would he gain? A swift death?

Furthermore, the conflict between Jiang Lianyi and the Young Ancestor centered around Immortal Qilin. That was an internal family dispute, or rather, a conflict between a wife and a mistress. Why should he get involved?

The Qiongqi tribe was so poor; as its chief, he had his own way of surviving.

Be ruthless when necessary, and be cowardly when necessary.

Chief Jin sighed inwardly, "The Young Ancestor was right. This struggle for supremacy in the Grand Era is more complex than imagined. Even the ancient Phoenix Ancestor secretly resurrected. Considering Immortal Qilin is behind the ancient Phoenix Ancestor, what chance does our Qiongqi tribe have of competing for first place?"

"Wait, why don't our Qiongqi tribe just pledge allegiance to Immortal Qilin?"

At this thought, Chief Jin's mind suddenly cleared, and he felt that the future was bright.

How could Jiang Lianyi know that Chief Jin had thought of so many things in such a short moment? She got angry at the sight of the Qiongqi tribe. Originally, she had wanted to randomly pick a Qiongqi to teach a lesson and vent her anger. However, Chief Jin's behavior made it impossible for her to vent even after scolding him; it was simply boring.

"Look into my eyes."

Jiang Lianyi's words seemed to contain a magical power, causing Chief Jin to obey her unconsciously.

Chief Jin looked into Jiang Lianyi's eyes and suddenly transformed into his true form: a winged, striped mighty tiger. He found himself in an unknown space, with a high moon overhead, standing on the sea, isolated and helpless.

Jiang Lianyi's voice echoed overhead: "You are not allowed to mention anything about seeing me to anyone, explicitly or implicitly."

When Chief Jin regained his senses, he found himself back in the guest room. The recent events felt like a dream.

"What did Senior Lianyi do?" Lu Yang secretly asked Immortal Buhuo. To outsiders, Chief Jin had just momentarily dazed off before recovering quickly. Lu Yang guessed that Jiang Lianyi had used some kind of method.

"This is the embryonic form of the Law of the Jungle Dao Fruit. It allows one to control what the defeated must say and what they cannot say. She just made this little tiger keep her matters a secret."

A "defeated" person usually needed to have fought against Jiang Lianyi first. However, the cultivation gap between Chief Jin and Jiang Lianyi was so vast that Jiang Lianyi could directly exert control using the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit.

"She used this ability frequently in the past."

"Why?" Lu Yang asked, puzzled.

It was rather troublesome to explain, so Immortal Buhuo tilted her head, pondered for a moment, and then explained:

"Didn't Immortal Qilin often sneak out to flirt with female demons? At first, Lianyi would just put on a stern face and bluff, and Immortal Qilin would spill everything like a waterfall."

"Later, Immortal Yingtian taught Immortal Qilin to be calm and composed as an immortal, to remain unfazed and unflustered by events. Immortal Qilin learned this, and from then on, when Lianyi tried to trick him, he wouldn't tell the truth; he was as slippery as a con man."

"Since Lianyi couldn't defeat Immortal Qilin and was at a loss, she would go to suspicious female demons, fight them, and after defeating them, use the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit to make them tell the truth."

"After the truth was revealed, Immortal Qilin would then kneel in the sword array."

Lu Yang: "..."

Immortal Qilin and Immortal Yingtian were truly good brothers. Immortal Yingtian taught the lies, and he also forged the sword array.

"Huh? Haven't I told you? Immortal Yingtian also told Lianyi and Ao Ling how to fake the sword array."

"Immortal Qilin remained completely oblivious, thinking Lianyi and Ao Ling had stumbled upon the truth by chance, and he deeply regretted the exposure of his affairs."

Lu Yang felt that the ancient situation was complex, with even immortals engaging in scheming against each other.

"Senior Lianyi seems very certain that Immortal Qilin is still alive?"

Based on Lu Yang's observations, Jiang Lianyi had constantly been thinking about how to find Immortal Qilin during their journey, as if she were convinced Immortal Qilin was still alive and hadn't been harmed by the mastermind.

"I can see that. If she's certain Immortal Qilin is still alive, then he is."

Immortal Buhuo paused for a moment, then explained, "You remember I told you that if Immortal Qilin became an immortal, Lianyi and Ao Ling wouldn't be able to, right?"

"Lianyi was originally qualified to become an immortal. It was just that Immortal Qilin defeated her and ascended before her, which caused her to lose the chance to become an immortal."

"If Immortal Qilin were to pass away, she would sense that the power suppressing the embryonic form of the Law of the Jungle Dao Fruit was gone, and she would be able to become an immortal right now."

Lu Yang suddenly understood.

"Lianyi and Ao Ling's situation is extremely rare among half-immortals."

"In ancient times, there were many half-immortals. The reason they didn't become immortals wasn't because the five of us suppressed them; it was because those half-immortals simply couldn't cultivate to that stage of immortal ascension. It was a matter of talent." Immortal Buhuo showed a slight disdain for those half-immortals, especially Ancient Dijiang, who, despite lacking talent herself, blamed the era and insisted on ascending to immortality now.

This was also why Jiang Lianyi and Ao Ling were recognized as the strongest beings below the immortals. It wasn't because they had a good husband in Immortal Qilin, but because they themselves were powerful to the extreme.

Becoming an immortal wasn't something achievable through effort alone; the most crucial factor was that spark of enlightenment.

Immortal Buhuo had many options for her Dao Fruit back then, making it difficult to choose, precisely because she had so many flashes of insight at the time.

Among the half-immortals from the same era as Immortal Buhuo, quite a few held the embryonic forms of the Immortal Dao Fruit or the Indestructible Dao Fruit. Once an embryonic Dao Fruit condensed into a full Dao Fruit, it inherently granted an invincible position. Who wouldn't want to condense such a Dao Fruit?

However, condensing such Dao Fruits was extremely difficult. Even Immortal Buhuo herself, had she not received inspiration from Immortal Suiyue, wasn't sure she could have succeeded.

"Alright, you can go back now."

Jiang Lianyi tossed Chief Jin out the door. To her, a demon king-level Qiongqi was no different from a small tiger.

He couldn't serve as a punching bag, so keeping him was useless.

Chief Jin had no mind to continue observing the founding ceremony. Feeling as if he had received a great pardon, he rushed back to the Qiongqi Tomb under the cover of night to seek an audience with the Young Ancestor.

"Young Ancestor, something terrible has happened..." Chief Jin scrambled to find the Young Ancestor, but just as he was about to speak, he found he couldn't utter a single word.

The young girl's expression changed slightly upon seeing Chief Jin's appearance.

"The embryonic form of the Law of the Jungle Dao Fruit? Jiang Lianyi's method? She's still alive?"

In ancient times, she was also one of the female demons Jiang Lianyi had sought out, so she was more than familiar with Jiang Lianyi's methods.

Zhu Tian didn't use the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit this way.

She reacted immediately, and a cold sneer curved her lips.

"I originally didn't want to cause conflict; becoming one of the top ten powers in the Grand Era would have been enough. But since Jiang Lianyi has appeared, then I will ensure we become the eleventh most powerful force!"
