Two days later, Jiang Ye and his group set off for the Ancient Immortal Court in Central State.
The carriage slowly rolled across the sky, runes flowing like a river, and the cyan-gold divine carriage pierced through the sea of clouds, its might like a Dragon in flight.
This journey was not peaceful.
Among the various Heavenly Dao Domains, many major powers were secretly watching, speculating on why the Divine Son of the Jiang Clan was heading to the Ancient Immortal Court at this moment.
Especially with the situation becoming increasingly delicate, and the Dragon Vein Secret Realm about to open, the various Heavens were already surging with undercurrents, seemingly calm but in fact brewing a storm.
Upon learning of Jiang Ye's arrival, the Holy Lord of the Ancient Immortal Court showed extreme enthusiasm, proactively setting up a grand feast to welcome him.
After all, in recent times, the Ancient Immortal Court had lost its former glory and now faced the covetous gazes of various Heavenly powers, with war possibly breaking out at any time.
It was just that the time had not yet come, and the Dragon Vein Secret Realm was still more than a month away from opening.
The appearance of the Divine Son of the Jiang Clan was undoubtedly a buffer, causing many to temporarily put aside their restless thoughts.
The carriage traveled through the air, shrouded in clouds and mist, with divine light spreading out.
Jiang Ye's eyes were slightly downcast, his expression calm, but his mind was already turning over a thousand thoughts.
A divine talisman quietly appeared; it was a secret report sent back by the Heavenly Prison Division.
On the way to escort Granny Yun and Li Shou, they had encountered an attack by the Chaotic Star Bandits.
Fortunately, Jiang Ye had made preparations in advance, arranging for the Fourth Ancestor of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Chengtian, to escort them, which prevented them from being intercepted.
Su Qingmeng, who was sitting opposite him, leisurely crossed her legs and munched on a Golden Jade Immortal Fruit, then turned her head and sneered, "The Chaotic Star Bandits are just a bunch of marauders, a second-rate force. How dare they provoke the Jiang Clan? I don't believe there's no one behind them pulling the strings."
Jiang Ye's gaze was calm, but a strange glint appeared in his eyes: "It should be that mysterious person from Li Shou's memory, the power behind the Taiwei Star Palace, and most likely the one who tried to assassinate me."
"This move wasn't aimed at me, but at Li Shou."
"This was just a casual move, but the fact that they could accurately predict that I would secretly escort Li Shou shows they have some skill."
All of Li Shou's memories from the soul search had been known by Jiang Ye.
Thousands of years ago, when Li Shou was active in the Ancient Immortal Domain, he had noticed that the Spiritual Qi of the Ancient Immortal Domain's earth pulse was gradually recovering.
He followed the trail and discovered that Dragon Vein Secret Realm.
However, at that time, the terrain had not fully recovered, so he was not in a hurry to plan, only secretly setting up investigations.
But at that time, Li Shou had already intended to scheme for this Secret Realm Opportunity.
It was not until he exited the Dragon Vein Secret Realm that he encountered the mysterious person from the Taiwei Star Palace.
The Dragon Vein Secret Realm involved the innate immortal liquid, and if such an Opportunity was known to others, the first thing one would think of would undoubtedly be to eliminate the other party.
The two fought without a word.
Li Shou was defeated, but he had also called for reinforcements in advance.
Fortunately, Zhang Chaoxian appeared in time, stabilizing the situation, and only then did the other party propose a temporary cooperation.
Zhang Chaoxian was not very keen on getting involved in this matter, only stating that he could make a move at most once.
Li Shou, on the other hand, was assigned by the other party to find a special item called a "transformation dao stone."
It was that ancient stone in the Fan Family's treasury.
Li Shou had schemed for this for thousands of years, using various resources and clues.
It wasn't until Ye Qingyun appeared in Wangchen Village that he finally discovered that this transformation dao stone was within the Fan Family.
So, he set up a scheme to help Fan He, the Second Ancestor of the Fan Family, and arranged this marriage.
Regarding this.
Jiang Ye strongly suspected that it was influenced by Ye Qingyun's Luck.
Otherwise, Li Shou might never have found any trace of this transformation dao stone until his death.
Li Shou had kept this matter quiet, always playing along with the mysterious person while secretly trying to eliminate him and monopolize the benefits.
Of course, the other party was no exception and had the same idea.
Li Shou secretly investigated and discovered that the other party seemed to have close ties with the Ancient Immortal Court.
Li Shou speculated that the other party had probably planned many schemes, using the might of the Ancient Immortal Court to deal with their group from Fire Lotus City.
And the transformation dao stone was the "key" to the Dragon Vein Secret Realm.
Li Shou knew nothing about its specific function or the situation inside the Dragon Vein Secret Realm.
He only knew that this transformation dao stone was very important, regardless of whether it was the "key" mentioned by the other party.
Li Shou believed that as long as he obtained the transformation dao stone, he could gain the initiative.
But he dared not forcefully seize it from the Fan Family.
After all, such a big move would attract too much attention; the other party had been secretly observing his actions, and he was, after all, a remnant of Fire Lotus City, so he dared not make a big fuss.
Without Zhang Chaoxian's intervention, Li Shou was completely helpless against the other party.
Moreover, if Zhang Chaoxian were to make a big move in this Dark Ages, an Emperor's intervention would be too ostentatious and easily attract the attention of the various Heavenly Dao Domains.
So Li Shou had always been very cautious and had not exposed the Fan Family.
It wasn't until Jiang Ye appeared that the matter of Ye Qingyun, a Disciple of the Fire Lotus City remnants, marrying into the Fan Family came into the other party's view.
Jiang Ye lightly tapped the table and slowly said, "Now that I think about it, that person's assassination attempt on me at the time might have just been a smokescreen, and the real goal was to abduct Li Shou..."
"Later, when that failed, they went to the Fan Family to investigate, but were deterred by the Fourth Ancestor..."
"Now they've guessed that I would secretly escort Li Shou, so they made arrangements in advance to have him intercepted, but they didn't expect me to be too cautious and send the Fourth Ancestor as an escort, so now their efforts have again been in vain."
"Ultimately, everything is for this transformation dao stone."
Jiang Ye toyed with the transformation dao stone in his hand; its Dao rhyme was thick and profound, and its aura was rich.
He just hadn't figured out yet what exactly this transformation dao stone was for?
After all, in his eyes, this transformation dao stone was nothing special.
Jiang Ye wasn't even sure if this was the one that person needed?
At this moment, Su Qingmeng spoke, "This transformation dao stone... it's quite strange. I've lived for so many years, but I've never heard of any transformation dao stone. Maybe it's just a name that person made up to fool Li Shou."
Jiang Ye nodded; this explanation was quite reasonable.
Su Qingmeng pondered for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Actually, there's still one point that doesn't make sense. If the goal was to abduct Li Shou, Li Shou was right there that day, so why didn't they directly abduct him, but instead tried to assassinate you?"
Jiang Ye's expression was solemn, and after a long thought, he finally said, "This shows the immense magnanimity, planning, and cunning of this person! Far beyond what ordinary people can compare to!"
"At that time, you and my mother were there. Even if they had tried to abduct Li Shou immediately, it might not have been easy to succeed. If they had killed me then, he could have escaped through a Reincarnation body, leading you all to chase him. Losing a Reincarnation body doesn't seem like much to someone like him;"
"If it really came to that point, Li Shou and the others wouldn't matter anymore, and then his true body could appear, or another Reincarnation body could conveniently take Li Shou away, perfect..."
"Now, upon careful thought, this person is indeed not to be underestimated."
After hearing this, Su Qingmeng also said with lingering fear, "This person truly has excellent methods! It's a pity his cultivation is still too weak for now, unable to stir up any big waves."
Jiang Ye nodded, deep in thought.
If the other party had truly killed him, his mother would probably be enraged.
At that time, the entire Ancient Immortal Domain would be in chaos, and with his mother's personality, it was possible that the entire Ancient Immortal Domain could be destroyed.
Was the other party not afraid that the Dragon Vein Secret Realm would be directly destroyed?
Would the plan meticulously laid out for thousands of years simply fall through?
