From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Although they are of advanced age, it\'s not impossible for them to break through two more realms in twenty years," said Jiang Ling.

"Bai Chaojin..."

Upon hearing this name, Fang Ren felt troubled. It was this old coot who had bound him and Bai Qi together, and now he even suspected that the original purpose of Bai Chaojin\'s arranging the marriage was not due to any debt of gratitude, but was a long-planned scheme to involve Bai Qi in the experiment more effectively.

"It doesn\'t matter which one of them it is, for our organization it would be a disaster." Jiang Ling continued, "However, I do have another question. If they have a Xuanyang realm powerhouse, why did they only send a group of Array Masters and one mid-stage Xuanyang realm expert to this crucial Indra Sky experiment base?

A Xuanyang realm powerhouse could easily wipe us out and ensure the experiment continues."

"Is it because they can\'t be spared from the Void war?" Fang Ren pondered then denied his own idea. "No, that\'s not right. There has never been a Xuanyang realm expert on the battlefield, otherwise, Hui Qing would have definitely informed me of such matters."

"So considering these points, if the Xuanyang realm powerhouse within Tianjiang is neither of them, who could it be..."

The two were entangled and unable to guess any probable answer for a long time.

"By the way, Leader Jiangling, since such a figure exists in Tianjiang, wouldn\'t I be discovered if you go there with me?" Fang Ren asked.

"It\'s fine. Both times this presence probed me were when I used my True Qi. It seems that even if their realm is stronger than mine, they still can\'t locate me when I\'m not using my True Qi," Jiang Ling replied.

"That\'s a relief."

Meanwhile, at the mountain peak behind the Tianjiang Fang Family\'s estate, an old man dressed in a black robe sat on a tombstone. His face was extraordinarily withered and gaunt, and the palms extending from his sleeves looked as if they were merely skin and bones.

On his aged skin, there were layers of grey-brown spots that resembled the mottled patterns of a corpse.

Standing beside the old man was a middle-aged man, who was none other than Fang Ye, the Fang Family\'s second elder.

"Grandfather, are you sure there\'s another Xuanyang realm expert in the world besides you?"

Fang Ye\'s face was filled with anxiousness, as not long ago, this skin-and-bones old man—his grandfather, the supposed long-deceased patriarch of the Fang Family—told him that he saw another Xuanyang realm expert appear on Earth.

This was a Xuanyang realm expert! For 200 years, Earth had not seen any; there was only the single, resurrected member of their Fang Family. So how come another one popped up out of nowhere?

"When Heavenly Tribulation descends, it surely signifies the emergence of a defiant being. There can be no mistake," the gaunt old man said, his withered eyes gazing into the distance without a hint of liveliness.

Fang Ye furrowed his brows tightly. This suddenly emerging Xuanyang realm powerhouse could potentially affect his future plans!

"Grandfather, do you know where this person is?" Fang Ye said, "Such a person, if a friend, would still be manageable, but in this vast Tianjiang, hardly anyone shares our aspirations. If we can determine his location, it\'s best to eliminate him sooner rather than later!"

"This person is currently on his way to Tianjiang, but he has concealed his aura midway, and I can no longer trace him," the gaunt old man continued, "What\'s certain is that there is a junior by his side who has just broken through to the Peak of Azure Sky. Keep an extra eye out; isn\'t there a pill competition coming up soon? It\'s most likely that he\'s here for that."

"Understood, Grandfather. I will investigate as soon as possible. If this person is an enemy, you have to come out of retirement to kill him as soon as possible," Fang Ye said.

"We must not rush this matter. Although this person is currently only half a step into the Xuanyang Realm, this body of mine is still too weak. It\'s hard to imagine the consequences of a battle with him. You must mass-produce the Blood Heart Pill quickly, otherwise, the recovery of my body will be too slow," the gaunt elder spoke.

Fang Ye frowned again, "Grandfather, this Blood Heart Pill… it\'s not because we lack the technology, but because its ingredients are too difficult to obtain."

"What kind of material can make our Fang Family admit difficulty?" the gaunt old man said with a sweep of his arm.

"Grandfather, it\'s not an issue of money or power, but the main ingredient of the Blood Heart Pill you need for recovery is the refined essence blood of our Fang Family\'s descendants. Using someone else\'s essence blood is completely ineffective for you."

"Essence blood?" the gaunt old man fiercely furrowed his brow, his aura suddenly surging, and he said coldly, "Are you telling me that the Blood Heart Pills are made from the lives of the Fang Family\'s descendants?"

Fang Ye was frightened into a cold sweat and quickly said, "Grandfather, please don\'t get agitated. These are the distant relatives of our Fang Family, and although related to you by blood, the connection is very slight. No matter what, I would never harm our own flesh and blood.

Besides, the Blood Heart Pill is only temporary, once we have acquired the research results from the Indra Sky, we will be able to utilize the essence blood of the Void beasts for your recovery."

The gaunt old man fell silent, but his deeply furrowed brows did not relax.

After all, suddenly learning that the pills he had been consuming for a long time were refined from the blood of some of his descendants was something he could not accept at the moment.

"Grandfather, regarding this matter, I hope you won\'t have too many reservations in your heart. You should think more about how all of this is for the future of humanity, that their sacrifices are worth it. Moreover, we will soon obtain the research results from Indra Sky and perfect your body," Fang Ye said, wiping off his cold sweat.

"Enough," the gaunt old man\'s aura subsided, and he said, "As you previously mentioned, my body is now filled with the aura of the Void, and I must not appear before people, or they will join forces to exterminate me as a being of the Void species. Therefore, many affairs in Tianjiang, and the organization in Indra Sky, will have to be dealt with by you all."

He had heard from Fang Ye that, in this era fifty years later, there was a lass named Mu Huanqing who had created a Large Formation to resist the Void. If the Formation were to operate at full strength, coupled with those old fogeys from the Central Area, there was a sixty percent chance they would annihilate him if they considered him a being from the Void.

However, all these speculations were based on his body not being perfected yet. Once his body was perfected, all such talk would be nonsense.

"Rest assured, Grandfather. You just focus on your cultivation here, and I will take care of everything outside. I guarantee that by the time you emerge, you will see the embryo of the world you envisioned," Fang Ye said.

With that, Fang Ye left the mountain and exited through a corner of the Formation.

This was the forbidden area of the Fang Family, previously accessible only to the important members of the family. However, now the Large Formation had been altered by Fang Ye\'s people, only he and the Patriarch of the Fang Family could come and go as they pleased.

Thankfully, none of this had been perceived by the others in the Fang Family, for that would have certainly led to a major incident.

After all, the Patriarch of the Fang Family, Fang Yun Zhong, who had been dead for fifty years and suddenly revived, was likely to be considered a Void species by most, given that he lacked the aura of a Human.
