In a building halfway up Wenzhu Peak, the room that had originally been decorated for the wedding theme had been returned to its simple, refined state.

Ji Shanhai was brewing tea with a beautiful smile on her face. Xi, having taken off the phoenix crown and cape, was back in her long, plain dress. They had heard from Lin Xun about everything that had happened in the Ji Clan. After the initial shock, they both became relaxed.

Still, they would occasionally look at Lin Xun with complex emotions that could not be calmed in a short time. The two sisters really hadn't expected his combat strength to have grown to this point. All by himself, he was able to dominate an Eternal Divine Clan!

Even their father, Ji Wangtu, hadn't been able to believe it when he had first heard the news. He had flown into a long trance before finally processing that the Ji Clan had undergone a complete ‘cleansing’! That was also when Lin Xun had handed the jade ruler back to him.

While those who opposed Ji Wangtu's branch had been weeded out from the clan, the situation remained a chaotic mess. Since Lin Xun was too lazy for the trivial tasks, it was only appropriate to leave the rest to Ji Wangtu who, at the end of the day, was still the leader of the Ji Clan.

“Senior, after we handle the Taihao Clan's bride-escorting team tomorrow, I will head to their lair and deal with them once and for all,” whispered Lin Xun who sat casually in the chair, enjoying the tea that Ji Shanhai had personally brewed.

Currently, only the Yang Clan and Ji Clan had been dealt with. There were still ten other Eternal Divine Clans in the Ninth Heaven Domain, and Lin Xun refused to let them off the hook.

“Now that you are Origin Clarity Pavilion Master of the Origin Sect and an existence on the Eternal path, you can stop calling me ‘Senior.’” Xi's voice was cold as usual, but her expression was much softer for once. Her stunning face glowed under the lamplight.

After the brief pause, she smiled ever slightly. “Moreover, it doesn't feel right for you to address me as such when you're on equal footing with my little sister. Moving forward...just call me by my name.”

Lin Xun agreed with a smile, but his emotions were much more complicated than he appeared. He had been calling Xi a senior since his teenage years. Now that he was being asked to change it after so many years of habit, it was hard to describe this strange feeling he had.

It was as if he had grown to surpass the towering mountain that he could only look up to in the past, so feeling this way was unavoidable.

“While we can still relax, why don't you tell me about what you've gone through during these years?” suggested Xi softly. She had only heard rumors of Lin Xun, so she wasn't clear on how he had gotten here from the Ancient Nebula Road.

Lin Xun nodded, his eyes gleaming in reminiscence as he slowly recounted his experiences. The room was tranquil and quiet except for his voice, and the two sisters became mesmerized as they listened.

He went on until it was late at night, when a fatigued Ji Wangtu appeared. He had pacified the clansmen, but only temporarily. It would take much more time to completely stabilize the situation.

“Senior, if I may offer my opinion, it is no longer suitable for the Ji Clan to stay in the Ninth Heaven Domain,” said Lin Xun.

Ji Wangtu was Xi's father, so Lin Xun was obliged to address him as his senior.

“I know.” A dispirited look crossed Ji Wangtu's face.

In just a day's time, the mighty Eternal Divine Ji Clan had fallen from its pedestal. Ji Beifeng had been captured, Ji Xiaoyun had ended himself, and a group of high-ranking personnel had been purged in a bloody manner. The blow was so severe that it could be called unprecedented.

As a result, Ji Wangtu didn't know how he should feel when he faced Lin Xun. To the Ji Clan as an entity, Lin Xun was undoubtedly an enemy, but to Ji Wangtu personally, his two daughters would have suffered along with his branch if Lin Xun hadn't stepped in to help.

Now, although the Ji Clan had received a heavy blow, it still had its Divine Rank law and its members, which was already a blessing out of their current misfortune.

However, it was just as Lin Xun had said, and Ji Wangtu knew it. The Ji Clan could no longer remain in the Ninth Heaven Domain.

Even if Lin Xun had the ability to wipe out the rest of the Eternal Divine Clans, the Ji Clan would still be in danger if those terrifying existences of these Eternal Divine Clans ever returned from the Kunlun Dominion! The biggest headache for Ji Wangtu was that even the ancestors of his own clan there would not let it slide either!

All in all, although the Ji Clan was now in the firm control of Ji Wangtu, there were still too many hidden dangers.

“I was thinking, why don't you take your clansmen and leave the Ninth Heaven Domain with me? You can settle down first in the Origin Sect,” proposed Lin Xun.

“To the Origin Sect?” Ji Wangtu was stunned.

“Yes.” Lin Xun nodded.

Right now in the Eternal True Realm, if there was any organization at all who could offer shelter to the Ji Clan, it would only be the Origin Sect. Lin Xun believed that Ji Wangtu also knew this better than anyone else!

“You are right!” In the end, Ji Wangtu gritted his teeth and agreed. As long as the Divine Rank law was in his hands, the Ji Clan would eventually find the opportunity to rise again!

The matter was thus finalized. While Xi and Ji Shanhai didn't say anything, they were grateful in their hearts. How could they not know that Lin Xun had done this for their sake?

......

The night gradually faded into the first light of day. Under the horizon where Origin Divine Mountain was, a treasure ship as massive as a continent sped through the air.

Shrouded in colorful haze and mist, the treasure ship was imposing and moved like a rainbow. Along the way, it raised countless cries of astonishment and awe, for this was a treasure ship of the Taihao Clan, carrying their bride-escorting team!

“According to the elders’ inference, Ji Xi will sooner or later step onto the Eternal path with her aptitude and resources. By marrying her, Young Master, your chances to inherit the position of patriarch will be much higher.”

On the treasure ship, Taihao Wu was speaking leisurely.

“Not to mention, Ji Xi was once famously the number one goddess of the Ninth Heaven Domain. Few can top her outstanding appearance and temperament. She's worthy of standing next to you.”

He was a peak Law Transcendence relic of the Taihao Clan. Dressed with taste in addition to having a handsome face and snow-white, waist length hair, he possessed a unique elegance.

“I can't agree more, Ancestor.” Taihao Zhi nodded. He looked imposing and full of spirit with a large and tall build that was clad in a fiery red outfit. Standing with his arms on his back, his bearing was noble and dignified.

“Young Master, look over there. That in front is Origin Divine Mountain.” Taihao Wu pointed to the distance where the outline of a massive mountain range became clear. It was none other than the Origin Divine Mountain, basked in a brilliant auspicious glow.

Taihao Zhi couldn't help but picture a silhouette in his mind. She had jade skin, unmatched grace, and was as beautiful as a far-fetched dream. His heart rate went up in excitement. He had heard about Ji Xi a long time ago, never thinking that so many years later in the future, he would be able to marry such a goddess who was renowned throughout the Ninth Heaven Domain...

The treasure ship was lightning fast, landing before the gate of Origin Divine Mountain extremely quickly. Taihao Zhi, Taihao Wu, and a group of their clan's members got off the ship, only to be stunned by what they saw.

Today was the big day of the Ji Clan and Taihao Clan, but at the moment, the mountain gate area was unusually deserted. There was no red carpet covering the ground, no crowd of people to welcome them in, and not a sign of a joyful and bustling scene anywhere.

Only a handsome figure stood there alone. He wore moon-white clothes and had his hands on his back, seeming to have been waiting for a while now. The peculiar sight struck the Taihao Clan's bride-escorting team dumb.

“You're finally here. I have been waiting.” Lin Xun spoke up with a slight smile, to their shock.

“Lin Xun!” Taihao Wu immediately recognized Lin Xun, and the look in his eyes turned serious. “How... Why are you here?”

As someone who had never expected that he would see Lin Xun in the Ji Clan's territory, his shock could be imagined.

“He is Lin Xun?” Taihao Zhi was also taken aback and revealed a look of disbelief.

The entire bride-escorting team broke into a hubbub. In today's world, who didn't know the name Lin Xun? It was just that they similarly had never expected that he, who the Eternal Divine Clans regarded as a thorn in their side, would show up here. It threw them off.

“It’s actually a coincidence. I only just arrived at the Ji Clan yesterday, and only afterward learned that you all would be coming today, so I deliberately waited here,” Lin Xun said as he maintained a smile.

Taihao Wu snorted and scanned the entire Origin Divine Mountain. “Don’t tell me...the Ji Clan has colluded with you?”

It was hard not to have this kind of doubt, considering they were in front of the Ji Clan's entrance gate! Furthermore, the whole world knew that their clan was coming to conduct the marriage today. Under these circumstances, who wouldn’t be suspicious of this strange happening?

“I wouldn't say so, no. It's just that the Ji Clan is no longer what it was yesterday.” Lin Xun paced forward. “And unfortunately, it's no longer possible for Miss Ji Xi to be married into your Taihao Clan as a pawn.”

“Ridiculous! When do you get to decide the affair between us and the Ji Clan?” Taihao Zhi said coldly.

Lin Xun smiled faintly. “Sorry to disappoint you, but this matter specifically is indeed up to me. It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not.”

With that, he waved his hand.

Boom!

The atmosphere between heaven and earth abruptly shifted, quickly being covered by an unimaginably powerful Eternal aura. The clouds in the ten directions crumbled and the planets beyond stopped shining.

“Young Master, careful!”

Taihao Wu's expression changed drastically. The first thing he did was shield Taihao Zhi behind him.

Rumble!

He emitted silver-colored Eternal radiance, which surged to resist that unimaginable force. However, he still took a blow so powerful that he wobbled and almost coughed up blood. At the same time, a series of miserable screams resounded around.

“NOOO...!”

The other Taihao Clan experts present were also big names, with the weakest of them being Nirvana Spirit Immortals. However, they had all been blown to bits. In the splashing blood, their primordial spirits were destroyed one after another. Not a soul was spared!

“You have really set foot on the Eternal path!” Taihao Wu's face had never been this unsightly, and his eyes filled with gravity.

Behind him, Taihao Zhi was as white as a sheet, fear uncontrollably taking over him. This Lin Xun...actually certified eternity like the rumors said!
