#49 - Chapter 49: The Wrath of Taixuan Holy Land

Several days later.

Jiang Yunhe arrived at the ancestral land.

Dressed in a white swordsman's outfit, the valiant and spirited young woman happily ran towards the bamboo house.

"Brother!"

The young woman waved her jade-like hands excitedly, greeting her beloved brother.

Clearly, she was in a good mood.

Jiang Tiantai had finally been overthrown, and she could rescue her brother.

Jiang Ning wore a gentle smile as he personally went out to greet his sister.

His sister had almost lost her life to save him; how could he not be moved?

"Please, come in and sit down."

Jiang Ning personally brought a chair for his sister.

Xiao Li respectfully brought tea.

"Princess, please have some."

Jiang Yunhe, not bothering to drink the tea, quickly and happily said, "Brother, after discussions with the elders, they have chosen me to be the Great Xia Empress. The coronation ceremony will be held in three days."

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, "Congratulations on becoming the Empress. In the future, you will surely rule the eight wastelands and govern the Xuanhuang world."

Jiang Yunhe laughed, "Brother, don't tease me. I'm doing all this for you, I never thought about being an Empress."

"After I ascend the throne, I will release you in the name of the Empress, then take you to the Nine Absolute Sword Sect and beg my master to restore your roots. After that, I will abdicate the throne to you."

"You are the true emperor of my Great Xia Jiang clan. Your sister will always support you from behind and be your strongest backing!"

The young woman was youthful and vibrant, full of energy.

When she was young, her brother protected her.

Now that she's grown up, she will protect her brother.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning felt a headache coming on.

The ancestral land was such a good place for cultivation; he didn't want to leave.

Should he tell this girl that he had become a saint?

In the end, Jiang Ning decided to keep it a secret.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Jiang Yunhe, but she wasn't like Xiao Li and the little fox, who stayed by his side all the time.

When she's outside, she might inadvertently reveal something.

Now that he had offended the Tai Xuan Holy Land,

If his identity was exposed, it would bring danger to Jiang Yunhe.

For absolute safety, it was wisest to temporarily hide it from Jiang Yunhe.

Moreover, before he became invincible, the more mysterious the identity of the Jiang clan's saint was, the more fearful it would make people.

The enemies in the dark wouldn't dare to easily come looking for trouble.

He would have enough time to cultivate like crazy with the cheat.

Until he could be invincible without using the Qingtu cheat.

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, extended a hand, and placed it flat on the young woman's chest.

"Check my roots."

Jiang Yunhe looked at her brother in confusion, then placed her jade-white fingers on his arm.

She revealed a look of surprise, "Brother… your roots have actually recovered, and the energy emanating from your roots is so powerful!"

"The saint of my Jiang clan took action and helped me restore my roots."

"There's no need to go to the Nine Absolute Sword Sect and have the Wind Devil Sword Saint help me restore them."

Jiang Ning made up an excuse.

"Haha, that's great! Then come back to the imperial city with me and ascend the throne directly."

Jiang Yunhe laughed happily.

The reason she became the Empress first was because her brother's roots were crippled, making him unable to inherit the throne.

Now that her brother's roots had recovered, it wouldn't be so troublesome; he could ascend the throne directly.

"No, you should still ascend the throne and become the Empress. I want to stay in the ancestral land and cultivate with the saint of my Jiang clan."

"It won't be too late for you to pass the throne to me after I reach the Heaven-Human Realm."

Jiang Ning made up an excuse to buy time.

If he was invincible, it wouldn't matter if he became the emperor.

But now, he just wanted to stay in the ancestral land and cultivate until he was invincible.

He didn't want to step into the limelight and attract attention yet.

(In the future, I'll become the emperor, even build a Heavenly Court, and smash the myriad realms… but for now, I'll develop in secret, don't be reckless.)

"Is that so? Alright, then I'll temporarily take over the Great Xia Empire for you."

Jiang Yunhe had no choice but to say.

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, affectionately stroked the young woman's hair, and said gently, "Silly girl, brother and you are one and the same. It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor of Great Xia."

Jiang Ning felt a little jealous of the original owner.

He had a mother who loved him and a sister who cared for him wholeheartedly… How could Jiang Ning, who had been an orphan since childhood, not be envious?

However, now all of this belonged to him.

He was the abandoned crown prince of Great Xia, Jiang Ning.

The two of them were already inseparable.

"In my heart, brother is the emperor, the ruler of the entire Great Xia."

The young woman smiled sweetly and leaned gently into her brother's arms.

In front of her brother, she was completely different from her decisive and efficient self.

In front of her brother, she would unconsciously become obedient and well-behaved.

Just like when she was a child, she was a little tagalong by her brother's side.

Time passed quickly, and it was time for Jiang Yunhe to leave.

"Brother, I'm leaving. In three days, you must come to the imperial city to attend my coronation ceremony."

The young woman bid farewell reluctantly.

"Oh right, this is a gift from brother to you."

Jiang Ning handed the young woman two cultivation manuals.

"Whirlwind Four Swords… wind attribute!"

At first glance, the young woman completely fell in love with it.

"This is the Whirlwind Four Swords created by my Jiang clan ancestor Jiang Yasuo, who had an epiphany in the midst of a storm thousands of years ago."

"It's perfectly suited to your attributes. After cultivating it, your combat power will definitely increase greatly."

"The other one is the 'Empowerment Scroll' of the Mending Heaven Art, which can increase your talent after cultivation."

The Whirlwind Four Swords had long been modified by Jiang Ning.

Its power was no less than some minor divine abilities.

Moreover, in order to make it easier for the young woman to cultivate, he had made the most precise annotations on it, directly leading to the profound mysteries.

"Thank you, brother."

The young woman happily embraced her brother.

As for the origin of the manuals, she silently assumed that they were given by the Jiang clan's saint.

Afterwards, under Jiang Ning's gaze, she left the ancestral land.

The young woman's figure disappeared, and Jiang Ning didn't recover for a long time.

Xiao Li smiled, "Young Master, are you reluctant to part with the princess?"

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, "Having such a cute sister who cares for her brother, of course I'm reluctant to part with her."

Some things he had desperately desired in his previous life.

After being reincarnated and obtaining them, he naturally cherished them even more.

Afterwards, Jiang Ning went to cultivate.

He had to become stronger.

He not only had to protect his own life but also had to protect the people he wanted to protect.

...

Tai Xuan Holy Land.

Located in a towering, continuous mountain range that reached into the clouds.

Everywhere were straight, towering peaks, covered with towering trees, blooming flowers, and magnificent palaces.

There were rushing waterfalls that seemed like the Silver River falling from the nine heavens.

There were cranes flying with the setting sun, and the autumn water shared the same color as the long sky.

At a glance, it was shocking, and a sense of awe arose spontaneously.

This was the power of the Tai Xuan Holy Land.

Within the Holy Land, Saint Realm experts were as numerous as clouds, with tens of thousands of inner disciples and millions of outer disciples.

There were also countless dynasties, families, cultivation sects, and vassals of the Holy Land.

The power of the Tai Xuan Holy Land was frightening.

It was such a terrifying behemoth that was currently in complete rage.
