Chapter 627: The Problem of Address

The Void Supreme was both shocked and angry. That grandson Jiang Ping'an is truly not a thing; you've already become an Immortal, and you still have the face to propose a duel?

Duel your grandmother!

Yun Zhi hadn't been sitting on the Imperial Throne for long when she saw the Void Realm shatter, and the Void Supreme was beaten into an unrecognizable state by Jiang Ping'an.

Abilities like limb regeneration and blood-drop rebirth all failed at this moment. The Void Supreme's injuries increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, unable to heal.

Thump.

The Void Supreme was thrown to the ground. Jiang Ping'an let out a long breath, wiping the non-existent sweat from his forehead, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle.

"Void, this time I didn't cheat. We had a one-on-one duel, relying on real skills. This time you should be convinced of your defeat, right?"

Since becoming an Immortal, Jiang Ping'an hadn't had a chance to show off to acquaintances, waiting for this opportunity for 100,000 years. He never thought it would be realized today.

Comfortable.

If the Void Supreme weren't in so much pain that he couldn't even stand, he would have loved to pounce and bite off Jiang Ping'an's neck.

"This chair is not bad. Who did you have refine it?" Jiang Ping'an noticed the Imperial Throne Yun Zhi was sitting on. If he weren't advocating a simple life recently, he would have wanted to build such a majestic Imperial Throne too.

"A specialty of the Demon Domain, a gift from my Little Junior Brother."

"I remember your Little Junior Brother is named Lu Yang?" Jiang Ping'an rarely paid attention to outside matters, only hearing it mentioned when chatting with Yun Zhi.

"Yes, I think highly of him. He has already brought me many surprises. For example, catching the Void Supreme this time is partly his credit. In the future struggle of the Great World, he will definitely have a place."

Jiang Ping'an smiled: "I have never heard you give such a high evaluation to anyone."

Hearing that it was Lu Yang who helped catch the Void Supreme, Jiang Ping'an developed a good impression of this little cultivator he had never met.

"There is actually one more person whose future is destined to be extraordinary."

"Who?"

"A Junior Brother sent by the Meng family."

Jiang Ping'an clicked his tongue in wonder, feeling envious: "Why can't our Jiang family produce such talent?"

Excluding him, the old ancestor, the most talented in the Jiang family currently is the First Prince, Jiang Qun, who is at the Integration stage before the age of a thousand, but he is still far from receiving Yun Zhi's "extraordinary" evaluation.

Hearing the two talking, the Void Supreme suddenly remembered the Meng family descendant he saw in Chunjiang City.

Is it him?

What kind of luck does Meng Junzi have? His character isn't great, yet he has such an outstanding descendant.

At the time, he only noticed that Meng Jingzhou was a descendant of the Meng family and didn't pay attention to anything else. Listening to Yun Zhi's evaluation, one could imagine that this Meng family descendant must be a cultivation genius, at the very least a Half-Immortal like him.

"How do you plan to deal with Void?"

"His heart is not upright. Releasing him would be like releasing a tiger back to the mountains, with endless future troubles. I plan to strip his physical body and suppress his soul at the Prison Peak."

Unlike Half-Immortals like the Immortal Fairy who have no criminal record and have a heart of repentance, the Void Supreme is only temporarily submissive to power and cannot be let go.

Jiang Ping'an nodded. He had no opinion on Yun Zhi's handling method; if it were him, he would have made the same decision.

The Void Supreme is determined to oppose his rule. Releasing him into the outside world would easily cause more trouble, making the national fortune turbulent and giving other factions an opportunity.

"There is one more thing I need to hear your opinion on, Daoist Jiang."

"Let's hear it?" Jiang Ping'an was a bit surprised. He noticed that when Yun Zhi said this, her brows furrowed imperceptibly, a situation that had never happened before.

"I have a friend named Yun Mengmeng. Recently, she learned that she was not born of her parents, but that an Immortal with the ability to nurture life created an immortal object, and Yun Mengmeng's mother gave birth to her through this object. How should she address this Immortal?"

Jiang Ping'an hissed. He had lived for 100,000 years and had never heard of such a thing.

"I don't know either." Jiang Ping'an thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how to address them.

Having achieved the purpose of coming to the Imperial Palace, Yun Zhi didn't linger, carrying the Void Supreme back to the Congwendao Sect's Prison Peak. She still had to interrogate these two Half-Immortals.

Especially the Nightmare Supreme, a Half-Immortal from the end of the Great Qian Dynasty, who must know many unknown secrets. Not to mention anything else, just the situation of the Twin River was something Yun Zhi didn't know before.

Jiang Ping'an waved goodbye: "Take your time, I won't see you off! If there's a chance, I'll go visit the prison!"

Seeing Yun Zhi return to the Prison Peak, the atmosphere among the prisoners became tense again.

Yun Zhi didn't speak, pressing both hands on the foreheads of the Nightmare Supreme and the Void Supreme. With a light pull, the two felt their bodies lighten as their souls and bodies separated.

The Child Ancestor smiled and dragged away these two empty corpses; they were good materials for refining magic treasures.

Yun Zhi looked at the two coldly: "Now you have two choices: either tell me the information you know truthfully, or don't even think about keeping your souls. It just so happens they can be used to refine magic treasures. Using the soul of a Half-Immortal as material to refine magic treasures can be considered a contribution to the artifact refining world."

Both had seen countless people and could tell at a glance that Yun Zhi wasn't scaring them.

"We will confess everything."

Yun Zhi nodded, very satisfied with their attitude, and locked them in separate small rooms isolated from the outside world for individual interrogation.

She interrogated the Nightmare Supreme first.

"Where did you learn the information about the Twin River?"

"I saw it in an ancient book. It recorded not only the Twin River but also the Child-Mother River. But I only knew the location of the Twin River and didn't know where the Child-Mother River was."

"Where did you get the ancient book?"

"After I led my army to break through the Great Qian Imperial Palace, I found it in the Imperial Study."

History books record that the Nightmare Supreme broke through the Great Qian Imperial Palace, declared himself Emperor, and fought for the world under the pretext of punishing rebels, eventually being defeated by the rising star, Emperor Yu.

The Great Qian was the dynasty closest to ancient times. The ancient books in the Imperial Study were likely more than all the ancient books in the world today combined.

"Where is the ancient book now?"

"It was... after I memorized it, I burned it." The Nightmare Supreme was very nervous.

"Hmm?" As expected, Yun Zhi wasn't too satisfied with this answer.

The Nightmare Supreme hurriedly explained: "It's true. My subordinates can testify. At that time, I thought even if I failed to fight for the world, the knowledge would be in my head, and my opponents would have to keep me alive for this information."

In fact, Emperor Yu and the State Preceptor considered this, which is why they didn't kill him when fighting the Nightmare Supreme, giving him a chance to escape.

"What was the cultivation level of the first Emperor Yu and the first State Preceptor?"

"When they fought me, they were definitely Half-Immortals, but whether they became Immortals later, I don't know."

"What do you mean?"

"After I survived the great war, I didn't go directly into a deep sleep but hid in the shadows, watching how Wu Yao became Emperor step by step."

Wu Yao, the first Emperor Yu.

"Wu Yao presided over the founding ceremony. During the ceremony, the wind and clouds changed, various heavenly phenomena erupted, thunder roared continuously, and the world was illuminated by the thunder tribulation. Although historians recorded that it was a sign of Wu Yao's brilliance and the establishment of the Great Yu Dynasty in accordance with Heaven's will, I suspect it was the Immortal Tribulation recorded in ancient books!"

The second update is at 11 o'clock.
