The ancestor of Chi Xiaodao’s grandfather was none other than the Overlord Immortal Lion King. He, too, had cultivated the Angry Immortal Dominating Body. In that era, some said the Overlord Immortal Lion King had created his own Supreme Immortal Body Technique, while other legends claimed he had obtained an ancient Immortal Body Technique for the Angry Immortal Dominating Body.
Li Qiye looked at Chi Xiaodao and asked, "Does your Lion Roar Sect have an Immortal Body Technique for the Angry Immortal Dominating Body?"
A Supreme Immortal Body Technique was something any sect or inheritance would covet. Even Emperor Immortal Gates yearned for such a treasure.
"Well..." Chi Xiaodao hesitated for a moment before finally saying to Li Qiye, "This is a secret of my Chi Family, but since Brother Li has shown me such great kindness, I can reveal a little. To be honest, I’m not entirely clear on the details myself. The Supreme Immortal Body Technique of my grandfather’s lineage has actually been lost. However, about ten years ago, my grandfather visited the Celestial Dao Academy. He was hoping to find some answers, since my maternal ancestor once cultivated there. After he returned, he immediately went into death seclusion and didn’t say much about what happened..."
"...My grandfather has an Innate Saint Body. Unfortunately, he was always held back in his youth because he lacked a suitable Holy Body Technique, so his Sacred Body was greatly limited. For this period of seclusion, my grandfather said that if he succeeds, he will achieve Saint Body Great Success. That’s why people in the outside world speculate that he recovered our ancestor’s Supreme Immortal Body Technique. It’s just that no one knows the real answer; otherwise, someone would have attacked us long ago."
At this, Chi Xiaodao couldn’t help but worry. After all, the current Lion Roar Sect was weak and no match for a behemoth like the Nu Xian Sacred Country.
Li Qiye smiled, understanding the situation. He asked, "The Lion Roar Sect’s Elders are all in secluded cultivation and security is tight. Is this to guard against outsiders trying to steal the Supreme Immortal Body Technique, or is there another reason?"
"I’m afraid it’s a bit of both," Chi Xiaodao said with a wry smile. "We’re also preparing in case the Nu Xian Sacred Country attacks. Ever since they came with the marriage proposal, my father, the Emperor, has ordered us to be on high alert. He himself doesn’t dare leave the Lion Roar Country and has been personally guarding the Imperial City to prevent any internal strife."
Li Qiye rubbed his chin and said, "When will your grandfather come out of seclusion? I’d like to meet him." He still had the Treasure Box from the Overlord Immortal Lion King, which was meant to be passed down to the Lion King’s descendants. The Lion Roar Sect’s Elder Ancestor, the Lion Roar Saint Emperor, who was also Chi Xiaodao’s grandfather, was precisely that descendant.
"That’s hard to say, I don’t know either," Chi Xiaodao said. "My father said that if Grandfather succeeds, it could be within three to five years. If he doesn’t... then it could be a very long time."
Hearing this, Li Qiye fell silent for a moment. ’My connection to the Lion Roar Sect runs deep,’ he reflected. ’The Chi Family’s ancestor was once a War General under my command, and I also share a karmic bond with the Overlord Immortal Lion King!’
"Brother Li," Chi Xiaodao looked up at Li Qiye, scratching his head. He asked jokingly, "What do you think of my sister?" He was trying to play matchmaker, as he genuinely believed Li Qiye was a perfect match for her.
Li Qiye simply smiled at Chi Xiaodao’s question and said nothing.
"I get it." Chi Xiaodao gave a bitter smile. Li Qiye had said that even a peerless figure like Bing Yuxia was only fit to be his maidservant. Although his sister was the princess of the Lion Roar Country, a lady of Golden Branches and Jade Leaves, she fell far short of Bing Yuxia in status, beauty, and talent.
In Li Qiye’s eyes, if even Bing Yuxia was only qualified to be a maidservant, his sister stood no chance.
"You have to come to the lecture this time, Brother Li," Chi Xiaodao said, his spirits lifting as he changed the subject. "The person giving the lecture is incredible. Perhaps she’ll be worthy of entering your Dharma Eye."
Li Qiye smiled. "And how is she so incredible?"
"The lecturer is Mei Fairy of the Long River Sect," Chi Xiaodao hurriedly explained. "She’s the greatest genius in the East Hundred Cities today—hailed as number one!" Just mentioning Mei Fairy made his expression turn solemn. In fact, anyone in the East Hundred Cities would be moved by the mention of her name.
"The Long River Sect," Li Qiye murmured, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Chi Xiaodao said solemnly, "Yes, the Long River Sect, the number one Great Sect in the East Hundred Cities. Mei Fairy is their successor for this generation, as well as their representative who has entered the mortal world to train."
The Long River Sect. In the East Hundred Cities, anyone who heard the name couldn’t help but feel reverence. For any Cultivator in the entire Human Emperor Realm, the name Long River Sect was legendary.
One Sect, Three Emperors! The Long River Sect was one of the oldest inheritances in the Human Emperor Realm. Across the entire realm, very few could stand on par with them. The only true peer was the legendary Qi Bamboo Mountain of the Southern Red Land.
One Sect, Three Emperors. What a terrifying existence! In the Middle Grand Realm, an inheritance like the Qingxuan Ancient Country, with its "One Sect, Twin Emperors," was already considered the most powerful of all.
The Long River Sect, with its One Sect, Three Emperors, was unfathomably profound. It was founded in the ancient Desolate Era and had persisted from the Desolate Era to the Pioneer Era, then to the Ancient Nether Era, through the Age of Emperors, and all the way to the present. The Long River Sect could truly be called one of the Human Emperor Realm’s oldest inheritances, having flowed through the long river of history itself.
For the Long River Sect to have endured through countless ages and still stand strong without any sign of decline—one could only imagine how powerful and terrifying it must be.
"A little interesting," Li Qiye said with a smile. ’The Long River Sect... yes. In that distant era, there were some things worth remembering there.’
Chi Xiaodao continued, "Mei Fairy is the successor of the Long River Sect and has entered the mortal world to cultivate. She has been traveling for a long time now and has given lectures to many geniuses. Over the years, numerous talented young cultivators have begun to follow her. This time, as she was traveling, she happened to pass by our Lion Roar Sect. My father, the Emperor, had to pull a lot of strings to persuade her to give a lecture here in the Imperial City."
"Once the news spread, it wasn’t just the young talents from within our Lion Roar Country," Chi Xiaodao said. "Even young geniuses from the many surrounding Inheritance Territories have rushed over, hoping to hear Mei Fairy’s lecture in person. My father can’t conveniently make an appearance this time, so he’s having my sister host the event."
Li Qiye smiled and shot Chi Xiaodao a look. "Is your father using this lecture to find a husband for your sister, or is he using it as a chance to get in with the Long River Sect?"
"Well..." Chi Xiaodao chuckled nervously. "Probably both. Young geniuses from our Lion Roar Country and even from the many surrounding Great Teaching Territories are coming to this lecture. My father hopes my sister can find someone she likes. If she really does get married, the Nu Xian Sacred Country won’t have a leg to stand on."
Li Qiye smiled and said nothing more. ’The Emperor of the Lion Roar Sect is certainly trying his best,’ he thought.
"My sister is hosting the lecture, and I’m just helping out," Chi Xiaodao said quickly. "Why don’t you lend her a hand too, Brother Li? I’m sure you could handle anything."
Even though Chi Xiaodao knew his sister had no chance and that he couldn’t play matchmaker for her and Li Qiye, he still spared no effort to create an opportunity for her.
"I’ll just watch from the sidelines," Li Qiye said with a smile. "You and your sister can handle a small matter like this." Of course, he knew exactly what was on Chi Xiaodao’s mind.
Chi Xiaodao said no more. From his time with Li Qiye, he understood that one had to seize one’s own opportunities. His sister had indeed missed her chance and failed to win Li Qiye’s favor.
The news that Mei Fairy was coming to the Imperial City of the Lion Roar Country to give a lecture caused a sensation. It shook the entire Lion Roar Country, and even the whole of the East Hundred Cities, sparking widespread discussion.
Hearing the news, countless Cultivators flocked to the city, drawn by her fame. The younger generation, in particular, was ecstatic, all hoping to witness the fairy’s peerless grace for themselves.
Mei Fairy, successor of the Long River Sect, the worldly disciple—Mei Suyao! All who had seen her said she was a beauty that belonged in the heavens, wondering what twist of fate had brought her to the mortal realm.
Countless Saintesses, Princesses, and ladies of Golden Branches and Jade Leaves had always been proud of their beauty and talent. Yet, rumor had it that after meeting Mei Suyao, they would all pale in comparison, feeling ashamed of their own perceived inferiority and never daring to compete with her beauty again.
But Mei Suyao was more than just the Long River Sect’s worldly disciple, and her fame wasn’t just skin-deep due to her peerless beauty. What was truly terrifying was the legend that she possessed an Innate Immortal Bone—an existence unmatched in this world and a rarity throughout the ages.
A Cultivator’s talent was typically determined by their Life Wheel, constitution, and Life Palace. Besides these three, few other factors had a direct impact on one’s cultivation. The Immortal Bone was one of these rare exceptions.
Furthermore, an Immortal Bone was an unparalleled and historic rarity. Legend said that anyone who possessed one would be invincible in their era. Some rumors even claimed that having an Immortal Bone was comparable to having an Immortal Body!
Of course, this was only a legend, and the truth was difficult for anyone to ascertain, as people born with an Immortal Bone had been few and far between throughout history.
Mei Suyao’s Immortal Bone, however, was said to be even more extraordinary. Legends claimed it was located between her eyebrows. This was a Forehead Bone, called the Forehead Immortal Bone.
It was rumored that the Forehead Immortal Bone might be the legendary First Immortal Bone. Whether this was true or not, no outsider could say. Nevertheless, the fact that Mei Suyao possessed a Forehead Immortal Bone was terrifying enough.
The Forehead Immortal Bone could turn the complex into the simple. This meant that no matter the Cultivation Technique—even an Emperor Technique or a Heavenly Destiny Secret Skill—as long as Mei Suyao glanced at it once, she could grasp its mysteries. She could learn anything in a single attempt.
But that wasn’t even its most frightening aspect. Rumor had it that Mei Suyao’s Forehead Immortal Bone far surpassed anyone’s imagination. It was said to be capable of communicating with the Celestial Dao and connecting with True Gods—an ability truly unmatched in this world.
As the successor and worldly disciple of the Long River Sect, Mei Suyao, with her Innate Forehead Immortal Bone, was unfathomably powerful. Forget the younger generation; even experts from the older generation grew pale at the mention of her name.
