Ancient Yizhou
Great Yu Ancient Capital
Not long after the destruction of the Da Yin Dynasty, the Si Family also learned of the Yun Family’s fate.
After all, it’s difficult not to notice when the entire enormous Divine Capital is relocated.
In front of the now-vacant Baixi Residence.
Two figures gazed from afar at this tranquil little courtyard.
Si Zhengqing was full of emotions; the news about the Yun Family left the entire Si Family in disbelief.
After all, the Yun Family was one of the Eight Great Saint King Families, once ranking above the Si Family, and now it has perished.
And it fell at the hands of the Eastern Continent Emperor.
"Who would have thought the Yun Family would just vanish like this?!"
Si Zhengqing lamented.
Before him stood Emperor Yu, clad in bright yellow, donning a Dragon Robe and the Emperor’s Crown, surrounded by Emperor’s Qi and majestic Dragon Qi.
"The Yun Family, in the end, had a bit of bad destiny, coupled with intense internal strife over the years, their elites suffered unnecessary losses. Although they perished to an external enemy this time, it’s not entirely without signs!"
Emperor Yu sighed lightly.
"Our Saint King’s Family claims to be an immortal family, an unperishable inheritance, but where in the world is an unperishable inheritance? Even the supreme Saint Kings can’t stop the cycle of birth and destruction, the decay of heaven and earth, let alone us Saint King’s Families, unless one achieves the body of a Daoist Monarch, perhaps crossing the ruin, transcending heaven and earth!"
Si Zhengqing remained silent beside him, for attaining enlightenment and becoming immortal already stands as a barrier to countless cultivators and sages between heaven and earth, not to mention existing like a Daoist Monarch, standing proudly over the All Heavens Void, suppressing the boundless Path of Heaven and Earth.
"The Yun Family had terrible luck, provoked a calamity. Whenever the world changes, some ancient forces will always turn to dust, yet there will also be emerging forces rising with the opportunity!"
Si Zhengqing sighed, seeing the East Continent Zhang Family as an emerging force.
Emperor Yu’s expression remained unchanged. Unlike Si Zhengqing, as the patriarch of the Si Family, he had more comprehensive information. Combining the Eastern Continent Emperor Zhang Jian’s recent actions and numerous tactical inferences by the Si Family elders, he received many different feedbacks and possibilities.
Some possibilities, even Emperor Yu found shocking.
The biggest possibilities suggested by the Si Family elders included that the Divine Dao Emperor, the Eastern Continent Emperor was wielding a Tier Three Immortal Technique, or even surpassing the Tier Three Immortal Treasure, as referenced with Zhang Jian’s repeated exhibitions, and the Divine Gold Light and Divine Dao Authority detected by the Si Family’s experts.
Among them, the possibility of a Divine Dao Emperor was exceedingly high.
Besides, there’s at least wielding a Tier Three Immortal Technique, and various Tier Two Immortal Techniques.
Though the model data deduced by these simulations is merely a reference, the potential is enormous.
How could such power not unsettle Emperor Yu’s heart?
Some renowned powerhouses, who have cultivated for countless years in the Celestial Immortal Realm, might not possess such strength.
How long has it been since that Eastern Continent Emperor started his cultivation journey?
Fortunately, this mighty being is an ally of the Si Family, now even in-laws.
Before the great turmoil arrived, securing such a strong ally for the Si Family in advance is indeed a blessing.
Emperor Yu pondered for a moment, then smiled and said:
"This time, those old guys from the Ji Family might have trouble sleeping!"
Si Zhengqing’s eyes slightly wavered, and he followed up.
"They deserve it. For interfering when the Si Family arranged a marriage, they disrupted the rules, and all consequences naturally lie with them to bear!"
Si Zhengqing wore a slight smile.
Recently, the Ji Family has made frequent visits to the Great Yu Ancient Capital, hoping the Si Family would mediate.
But Emperor Yu declined to meet, citing seclusion.
In Si Zhengqing’s view, the Ji Family’s mediation could indeed happen, but such matters require the right timing. Meddling too early or too late may end up being unwelcome.
Si Zhengqing naturally didn’t want to carry that blame.
After some discussion between the father and son, Emperor Yu’s gaze returned to the Baixi Residence, sighing.
"Has there been any family letter from Li’Er lately?"
Si Zhengqing was momentarily stunned, his expression becoming serious.
He slightly shook his head.
"No, but I believe that with Li’Er’s wisdom, she should be able to gain recognition from the East Continent Zhang Family!"
His eyes revealed a bit of reluctance.
He had many descendants under his command, but only one possessing the Innate Dao Body.
From childhood to adulthood, he raised his daughter as if she were the firstborn son.
He just never imagined this daughter would eventually marry out.
Emperor Yu also felt a bit emotional.
Such as the Innate Dao Body, these True Seeds, the Si Family, with its innumerable years of heritage, didn’t have many.
These prodigies represented the future of the Si Family.
Most True Immortals of the Si Family were born from among them.
The potential for the Innate Dao Body to become enlightened and immortal exceeds other clan members.
Si Zhengqing’s gaze fluctuated as he said.
"The East Continent Zhang Family has not risen for long; their heritage probably doesn’t match ours. I wonder if Li’Er’s path to the Dao will be affected!"
Emperor Yu slightly smiled and said.
"Isn’t this where opportunities lie!"
He smiled serenely.
The East Family Zhang hasn’t been around long; precisely because of this, internal competition is rather less intense.
If the Si Family elders’ deductions are not mistaken, it’s actually an opportunity for Si Li’Er.
After all, the father-in-law is essentially a Divine Dao Emperor. With the potential of a Divine Dao Emperor, the future ceiling likely far exceeds other immortals.
When one person attains the Dao, the family ascends.
Perhaps the Si Family might also produce a powerhouse above the Celestial Immortal.
"The Second Ancestor indeed has far-reaching foresight!"
Emperor Yu thought to himself.
His eyes slightly flickered.
He remembered that the Eastern Continent Emperor has more than just one child, Zhang Zhao.
And the Si Family has many female cultivators of outstanding talent.
A Divine Dao Emperor is worth the Si Family investing more to draw closer.
