After Becoming an Immortal, It Makes Sense to Have a Universal Treasure Pot

78: The shackles of national destinyXu Qi’an and the other person flew for several days without rest, finally returning to Yue Country.

And now, there was only a little over a month left until the deadline for the Nascent Soul Decree.

As soon as he entered Yue Country, Xu Qi’an brought Jiang Qiuhe to Floating Cloud Sect.

Noticing Xu Qi’an’s return,

Water Lingmiao and others were already waiting eagerly at the entrance of Floating Cloud Sect.

”Xu Qi’an, you’re back!”

Water Lingmiao’s eyes were full of smiles as she came forward.

Ying Kaihe, Shen Liang, and others also happily paid their respects.

Xu Qi’an nodded, then introduced Jiang Qiuhe to everyone.

”Everyone, this is the Jiang Family Old Ancestor, Jiang Qiuhe, and also our fifth Jie Dan Cultivator in Yue Country!”

”We have finally fulfilled the quota on the Nascent Soul Decree!”

At this moment, Xu Qi’an felt a long-lost sense of release in his heart.

Over the past ten years, various pressures had accumulated.

And all the effort and hard work, at this moment, had transformed into a ripe fruit.

Jiang Qiuhe was also extremely happy to see her fellow colleagues. Although she was a bit shy, she still said enthusiastically, ”I am Jiang Qiuhe, greetings, Fellow Daoists.”

”From now on, we are colleagues, and also friends who will assist the Sect Leader together to strengthen Yue Country!”

Jiang Qiuhe’s words were very well-spoken and instantly gained the goodwill of Water Lingmiao and others.

Even Ying Kaihe and Shen Liang were very approving.

They gave a very high evaluation of this beautiful female Cultivator before them.

At this time, Xu Qi’an called someone over.

It was Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was somewhat incredulous when she saw the beautiful female Cultivator before her, and she froze in place for a moment.

She had only seen the portrait left by her ancestor on the scroll in the Jiang Family.

But she didn’t expect the ancestor before her to be even more beautiful than in the painting, and that sense of kinship between Bloodlines made Jiang Li’s eyes well up with tears.

”Ancestor...”

”Junior Jiang Li, greetings, ancestor. Congratulations on achieving Dan Formation, returning to Yue Country, and returning to the Jiang Family!”

Jiang Qiuhe stepped forward and carefully examined this descendant who shared her Bloodline, a very gentle expression appearing on her face.

”You are Jiang Li?”

”Good name, and a good child. You must have suffered a lot of humiliation when the Jiang Family was destroyed. The Sect Leader has already told me.”

”As your ancestor, I feel ashamed!”

Jiang Li quickly shook her head: ”No, ancestor left the Family to seek the Dan Formation Opportunity, wasn’t that also for the Jiang Family?”

”Moreover, the Jiang Family’s revenge has been exacted, ancestor does not need to blame herself.”

Jiang Qiuhe wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled, ”Jiang Li, you are a good child.”

”But don’t keep calling me ancestor, it makes me sound so old, don’t you think?” Jiang Qiuhe then made a lighthearted joke, which just happened to shorten the distance between her and Jiang Li.

”If you are willing, you can just call me Aunt Qiu.”

Jiang Li also wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and happily called out, ”Aunt Qiu!”

”Good!” Jiang Qiuhe smiled very happily and took out some of her treasures from her storage bag to give to Jiang Li.

”The treasures aren’t particularly good, but they are a small token of my regard. Jiang Li, please accept them!”

Jiang Li originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Jiang Qiuhe’s expression, she still accepted the treasures.

”Thank you, Aunt Qiu!”

Xu Qi’an and the others smiled upon seeing this scene.

......

”So, this matter has actually been the Three Great Countries targeting us all along?”

Inside the main hall of Floating Cloud Sect, Jiang Qiuhe listened to Xu Qi’an’s account and the words of the others, and she understood everything.

Xu Qi’an nodded and continued, ”Although it’s said to be the Three Great Countries, it’s more accurate to say it’s Yuan Country; the other two countries are just incidental.”

”But according to the rules, there should be no attacks between Cultivation Countries of the same level. I had already achieved Dan Formation at that time, yet Yuan Country still caused trouble, which is really unreasonable.”

”Yuan Country?” Jiang Qiuhe thought of a hidden history.

”Hearing the Sect Leader say this, I did think of a hidden theory.”

”It’s called National Destiny Restraint!”

”Hmm?”

Hearing this term, Xu Qi’an’s curiosity was greatly aroused.

He only knew that cultivation could have talent restraints, but he didn’t expect that national destiny could also impose restraints on Cultivators.

”This National Destiny Restraint is extremely profound and mysterious, just like a Cultivator’s cultivation Bottleneck, generally very difficult to detect.”

”And the conditions for generating a National Destiny Restraint are extremely harsh. Legend has it that it only occurs when one country pushes another country to the brink of destruction, and it is generated towards the country about to be destroyed.”

”Even if that country on the verge of destruction later becomes strong again, even stronger than other countries, the restraint will not dissipate. Only after that country is completely destroyed will this kind of restraint dissipate!”

”This is the so-called National Destiny Restraint.”

”I speculate that it is precisely because Yue Country did something comparable to destroying Yuan Country a long time ago that a National Destiny Restraint was formed against Yuan Country, causing Yuan Country to always want to destroy Yue Country.”

”There is actually such a theory, it’s simply unheard of!”

Xu Qi’an and the others couldn’t help but look surprised, secretly marveling.

Jiang Qiuhe smiled and said, ”This theory is really obscure. I happened to see it in a book before. Because it was a bit outlandish, it left a deep impression.”

”Perhaps it’s not this reason, but something else is also possible.”

Xu Qi’an and the others nodded in agreement.

He then said with a smile, ”However, there’s no need to worry now. Our Yue Country has completed the quota on the Nascent Soul Decree, so we haven’t violated it.”

”Heavenly Dao Sect has always emphasized rules. Changing our Yue Country’s quota was already a violation in itself, and they would certainly not easily grant special privileges for Yuan Country again, so as not to damage Heavenly Dao Sect’s prestige.”

Everyone strongly agreed with what Xu Qi’an said.

”The plan now is to wait patiently for the ten-year period to arrive!”

”Everyone can also take this time to relax properly.”

”After that, we will have to prepare for the Extraterritorial Battlefield!”

Everyone nodded, then said goodbye to Xu Qi’an and left.

Jiang Qiuhe did not leave; she stopped, preparing to tell Xu Qi’an something.

”Sect Leader, could you please tell me your true cultivation level?”

”Hmm?” Xu Qi’an didn’t quite understand Jiang Qiuhe’s intention and didn’t answer for a moment.

”I was presumptuous,” Jiang Qiuhe said apologetically.

She then took an item out of her storage bag.

This item looked like a key, completely transparent, yet emitting traces of spiritual energy, quite extraordinary.

Xu Qi’an: ”This is?”

Jiang Qiuhe: ”This is the ghost king key, or more accurately, the Nascent Soul key. It can open a legacy left behind by a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator after death.”

”The location is in the Spiritual Cry Abyss, but I haven’t found the exact location of the Nascent Soul legacy yet.”

”Now, I want to give it to the Sect Leader.”

Xu Qi’an was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Jiang Qiuhe to be willing to give him this item.

However, Xu Qi’an did not refuse. If he could obtain the Nascent Soul secret treasure later, he would naturally use the Omnipotent Treasure Basin to gather treasures and give her the items obtained from it.

So he said with a smile, ”Fellow Daoist Jiang, the treasure you’ve given is truly too valuable!”
