Ma Jingcheng was filled with indescribable grief and rage, wishing he could imdiately make every mber of the Gu family pay.
When Emperor Yan Be Ge decided to take action, he had imagined all the miserable endings that the Gu family deserved.
However, Emperor Yan’s earth-shattering slap had not yet descended upon the insignificant Earth.
Not only were the cultivators on Earth, who were watching the drama, dumbfounded, even Ma Jingcheng was shocked.
It wasn’t until ten or so minutes had passed that the Gu Family Patriarch, Gu Weiting, seed to know the outco and said mockingly to the expectant Ma Jingcheng, "Don’t wait anymore, Emperor Yan has already left."
"That’s impossible!" Ma Jingcheng growled, "He is a great power in the Cultivation World, his word as solid as gold, he promised conditions with our family, he wouldn’t just leave like this."
"So things are irresistible." Gu Weiting was unprecedentedly confident, "Just like how no cultivator born on Earth till now has been able to break free from this barrier, even if he is Emperor Yan, he is insignificant in the face of the will of Heavenly Dao."
With that, as the main person who had killed the Jiang family back then, Gu Weiting used the Magic Artifact to extract Ma Jingcheng’s Taoist Body Primordial Spirit from his body, letting him experience the sa soul torture as Ma Jihua.
Ma Jingcheng’s prior confidence was shattered at this mont.
"No! Impossible!"
More than the tornt of his soul, he was more desperate about his situation. Unable to feign calm any longer, he begged toward Jiang Ruolin in utter despair, "Miss Jiang, please show rcy, now only I remain from the Ma family, I beg you to spare , I swear I will never appear before the Jiang family again, I will kowtow to you, I am willing to kneel and admit my wrongs in front of the ancestral hall of the Jiang family!"
Finally, Jiang Ruolin stood up from her chair, and Cui Lan imdiately supported her.
Approaching the painfully expressive Ma Jingcheng, Jiang Ruolin took the Magic Artifact from Gu Weiting.
Ma Jingcheng thought she had softened her heart to release him.
Little did he know, Jiang Ruolin imdiately intensified the Divine Sense in the Magic Artifact, causing Ma Jingcheng’s body to suffer even greater agony.
"Miss Jiang, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Ma Jingcheng’s pain escalated sharply, emitting a piercing wail.
Until his Taoist Body and spirit could no longer withstand the corrosion of the Magic Artifact and gradually dissipated like clouds.
After that, Jiang Ruolin finally handed the Magic Artifact back to Gu Weiting, then shifted away.
Cui Lan quickly followed her, feeling a shock and fear for the depth of the Gu Family.
The Ma Family, guarded by an Offerant of the Twenty-Five Layer Heaven, was exterminated!
Even bringing out Emperor Yan, ranked second in the Cultivation World, did not change the Ma family’s ultimate fate.
The Gu family’s recent series of actions demonstrated a dominance that far exceeded Cui Lan’s understanding of this family.
When she and Jiang Ruolin reached the backyard where the Gu Family Ancestor resided, Cui Lan stopped.
This backyard, even the Gu family’s own Patriarch, Gu Weiting, could not step inside without the Ancestor’s summoning.
Therefore, without waiting for the guards to stop her, Cui Lan dared not take another step inside.
By this ti, even the foolish would recognize the extraordinary nature of this Gu Family Ancestor!
She might have already guessed the background of Gu Feng.
But as Cultivators of later generations who were not very familiar with the Taoist Ancestor, they had underestimated the true strength of a Taoist Ancestor!
In the 20,000 years since the founding of Cultivation civilization, countless prodigies have broken through one barrier after another, creating countless realms and planets.
It seed that strong beings like Emperor Yan, a Great Emperor born once in ten thousand years, were omnipotent like Gods.
But a Taoist Ancestor, is always a Taoist Ancestor!
Emperor Yan had no choice but to admit it himself.
Jiang Ruolin walked into the courtyard unobstructed, and at this mont, she seed more cautious than before as she made her way to the pavilion.
In the pavilion, Gu Feng was lazily sitting in his white robe, fiddling with a ga of black and white Go and gave her a slight smile: "I never intended to keep it from you; it’s just that you wouldn’t believe that I am the Taoist Ancestor."
Jiang Ruolin gave a wry smile.
Gu Feng: "Are you curious why a grand Taoist Ancestor like myself would approach you?"
Jiang Ruolin nodded.
Gu Feng stood up and slowly walked down from the pavilion steps. "You’re right, a Taoist Ancestor isn’t so superficial as to fall for a pretty girl."
"So, the kindness you’ve shown is due to other reasons?" Jiang Ruolin’s eyes flickered with sadness. "But I still have to thank you, even though I don’t know what karma compels you to help ; I’m indebted to you, Ruolin, and I have no way to repay it."
She said this as she started to kneel towards Gu Feng.
But Gu Feng refused.
This made it so Jiang Ruolin, no matter what, could not kneel down.
"If I tell you now that you are the reincarnation of my original wife, Lin Yue, would you believe it?"
Jiang Ruolin was stunned, and pointing to herself, she asked: "?"
"Are you sure?" Jiang Ruolin found the idea of reincarnation a bit bizarre. "Is there really such a thing as reincarnation?"
Gu Feng nodded. "Ordinary cultivators, of course, can’t do it, but usually, those who reach the Emperor Level can reincarnate and cultivate anew."
He explained: "Seeking the Tao is neither unchanging nor perfect; many cultivators might not realize the Tao even after thousands to tens of thousands of years. If one’s lifespan is insufficient, the only option is to reincarnate and cultivate anew to make up for their shortcomings in Taoist Skills, though reincarnation is very dangerous. If you’re not careful, soone else might capture your Taoist fruits."
Jiang Ruolin: "But I rember Lin Yue’s seniority was forever stuck in the Sixth Layer Heaven due to her damaged Taoist Body and ran out of lifespan; how could she reincarnate then?"
Gu Feng: "Because I left a Divine Sense imprint on her body. This imprint protected her Primordial Spirit from harm, so no cultivator could damage or kill her; she could only die from her lifespan running out, but this imprint also preserved her Primordial Spirit."
"When the Gu Family moved from the ancestral ho, it might have disturbed Lin Yue’s Primordial Spirit drifting into the mortal world, hence your existence."
Jiang Ruolin suddenly understood.
Gu Feng joked: "You wouldn’t think that the descendants of the Gu Family and so presidents of the association calling you Ancestor Grandmother or Grandmaster casually, would you?"
"I was puzzled why they called that and I could feel their respect for wasn’t just because I was your concubine, but because of my past," Jiang Ruolin realized. "But why don’t I have any mory of it? Are you sure you’re not mistaken? Maybe you’re right about everything you’ve said, but is it possible that the reincarnation of your wife is soone else?"
Gu Feng gave a slight smile: "There’s a thod that could help you recall the mories of your forr life."
Jiang Ruolin: "What thod?"
Gu Feng: "If you break through to the Fifteenth Layer Heaven and comprehend the ’Past’ Law, then you’ll be able to rember."
Jiang Ruolin thought about how she had only just advanced to the Fifth Layer Heaven, feeling it might take at least a thousand years to reach the Fifteenth Layer Heaven: "I don’t even know if I can cultivate to the Fifteenth Layer Heaven."
Gu Feng: "It’s not that hard."
Jiang Ruolin: "You have a way?"
Gu Feng: "You only know that female cultivators, when used as Furnace Tripods, can bestow benefits to male cultivators; this only works when the power disparity isn’t large to add a combined strength. But if your dual cultivation partner is of significantly higher power, the guidance benefits the one of lower Realm."
Jiang Ruolin understood Gu Feng’s implication, her face instantly blushed, but she pretended not to understand: "What do you an?"
Gu Feng: "Haven’t you always wanted to know what realm my true strength can reach? You could try and see what height you could reach if you sleep with a Taoist Ancestor."
Jiang Ruolin blushed even harder.
