Chapter 1659: Chapter 159: Soul Stealing Plan
"Father, this person dares to attack our Jiang family like this, it’s simply—"
Jiang Tianling immediately became displeased, clearly feeling that this was trampling on the dignity of the Jiang family.
"No need, we must not delay the plans of the Revered Ancestor. This person has clearly come for something, follow me to see."
"Very well, let’s see exactly who dares to be so arrogant!"
Jiang Tianxin was also quite annoyed.
In contrast, Jiang Yuning slightly tilted her head at this time, her pretty little face showing a curious look.
This thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was obviously still at an age of some innocence.
...
Outside the Jiang Family’s main gate.
"Hmm? This is actually a cultivator ascended from the Lower Realm, and at such a young age, has already reached the Nine Revolutions Divine Spirit Realm, indeed an unparalleled genius!"
Jiang Xing stroked his grayish-white beard, and upon seeing Lee Ran for the first time, could not help but be moved, saying with shock.
Lee Ran nodded and said, "Jiang Family Master, this time, I, Lee Ran, have taken the liberty of coming, but there is one thing I hope to cooperate with the Jiang family."
"Oh? What is it, young friend Lee Ran, you might as well tell me."
Jiang Xing was not angered, but said with interest.
Lee Ran glanced around without speaking.
Jiang Xing’s eyes narrowed slightly, then said, "Young friend, let’s talk in the inner courtyard. Ning’er, you all should leave first."
"Family Head."
Jiang Tianling and Jiang Yuning were clearly reluctant.
But Jiang Xing merely waved his hand.
The three of them immediately stopped talking, each casting a regretful glance at Lee Ran, then left one after another.
Only then did Jiang Xing turn around and head towards the gate.
And Lee Ran immediately followed.
However, as he walked step by step, the void gradually shifted, countless dark starry skies flashed by, and in an instant, Lee Ran followed Jiang Xing to an unknown void land.
Around him, it was dim and dark, the sky was pitch black, with no traces of stars, and no aura presented.
"Young friend is quite bold, are you not afraid of being imprisoned here for life or being killed and having your Heavenly Dao root bone taken?"
Jiang Xing suddenly asked.
Lee Ran was indifferent, saying, "If the Jiang family acted in such a manner, it would not be the Jiang family. Although the Jiang family has many breeding grounds, compared to the timeline, everything else is unimportant, isn’t it?"
"Hmm? Who are you?!"
As soon as Lee Ran spoke, Jiang Xing’s face immediately changed color.
Especially after the words ’timeline’ were spoken, Jiang Xing’s face not only changed color, but in an instant, killing intent surged endlessly.
"Heh, I hail from the Earth Ancestral Land, one of the inheritors of the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas. This time, my collaboration with you is to nurture a Life Seed. My younger brother, because of me, had his Perfect Supreme Soul devoured. I know this world is incomplete, but it has now been altered through the timeline to become incredibly complete, thus my Realm is now stuck at God Realm Ninth Transition and cannot break through.
Now, the world will fully correct all errors, and no longer be incomplete. When the Nine Origin Reincarnation opens, even the division of realms will restart."
"But those are not important. For me, I only hope my brother can truly be immortal."
"So, I come here to create an Immortal Evil Soul for my brother. I need the cooperation of the Jiang family’s bloodline."
Lee Ran said.
"This matter, I cannot decide. You know, the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas has gathered the true unparalleled bloodline of Earth Ancestral Land. If combined with our Jiang family bloodline, I cannot imagine how heaven-defying this fetus will be once it matures!"
"I can provide compensation! I can change the ’core hub’ area to become your breeding ground, so you can seize endless resources!"
"You—you are merely at God Realm Ninth Transition, how can you achieve this!"
Jiang Xing was shocked.
"I possess Hou Yi’s bloodline, and have once saved him, extracted his blood, captured part of his soul, and he is grateful to me for guiding him to live out his next life, named ’Lee Jidao’, now residing on the Sword Burial Ancestor Star. If he is suppressed on the Sword Burial Ancestor Star, like the Earth Ancestral Land, forming the will of a planet, then the Sword Burial Ancestor Star can become your breeding ground."
"And this matter, only I can accomplish, because I represent the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas."
Lee Ran, with his hands behind his back, laid out his terms.
"This—"
Jiang Xing’s face showed a horrified expression.
After a moment, he hesitated again and said, "Brother Lee Ran, please wait, only the Revered Ancestor can respond to this matter."
"Alright, I can wait."
Lee Ran agreed.
Jiang Xing’s face was uncertain, and after a moment, he finally knelt toward the unknown void and called out, "Revered Ancestor."
Suddenly, there came a faint response from the void, that voice, extremely cold, extremely transcendent.
"Jiang Xing, what troubles do you have?"
That voice was incredibly long, as if coming from the depths of the endless void universe, cold and chilling to the heart.
"Revered Ancestor, it is like this..."
Jiang Xing immediately explained the situation in full detail.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze.
"Inform him that the soul of the first life must be extracted and refined into a Life Soul, to guard against unexpected changes in the timeline. As compensation, it can be entrusted to the Jiang family female disciple Jiang Yuning to carry with her. At the same time, Jiang Yuning will accompany his brother throughout his growth."
"If it is agreeable, this matter shall be set. If not."
The elderly voice did not continue.
But Jiang Xing knew that if it was not agreeable, Lee Ran would be killed.
The Jiang family possessed that power.
Jiang Xing had no doubts about this. He knew what kind of existence the Revered Ancestor Jiang He was.
Those so-called ’Holy Ancestors,’ in front of this Revered Ancestor, did not even have the qualifications of an ant.
"Revered Ancestor, disciple understands."
Jiang Xing respectfully kowtowed.
And that unknown icy coldness had already vanished.
The void emitted no sound.
Lee Ran heard no voice or response, but he knew that the mysterious ’Jiang He’ had already left.
This person, or rather, this ’Holy Spirit,’ Lee Ran knew, was the unique existence that his brother Zhou Yan had emphasized.
Now, facing this person, Lee Ran’s pressure was significant.
Indeed, after waiting a moment, Jiang Xing arrogantly presented his conditions.
"What? Extract my brother’s soul talent, doesn’t that mean he will become foolish, how will he grow? You have gone too far!"
"No—after extracting the Life Soul, the newly grown Life Soul will be even stronger. This benefits both parties. Rest assured, if so, we will invest significant effort in the Jiang family’s bloodline, it’s a win-win situation, but it will mean your brother endures some suffering in the early stages!"
"If you agree, then so be it. If you do not agree, you cannot leave!"
Jiang Xing sneered.
At this point, it was beyond merely turning hostile.
Lee Ran even plainly felt that if he rejected this proposition, he would immediately die here.
Although he had numerous methods, escaping from the hands of that mysterious ’Jiang He’ was uncertain.
This was the Sovereign of the timeline project! One of the true masterminds behind the scene of the Emperor Soul Clan incident.
Through Zhou Yan, Lee Ran was aware of this terrifying event.
Therefore, deviations in such plans were evident.
Yet, Lee Ran still agreed.
Because he had no other choice.
"Alright, I agree, but I hope you leave a way out for my brother!"
Lee Ran agreed with great ’humiliation’.
"Very well, rest assured in this matter, in any case, our Jiang family currently does not wish to escalate things with your Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas, it would negatively impact the higher-level plans of both our sides."
Jiang Xing laughed, and at this moment, he had become extremely cordial with Lee Ran.
