Celestial Maiden Tianlai felt a bone-chilling coldness, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
She was also a renowned Prodigy of the Nine Heavens, with extremely formidable strength.
If she were in the Immortal Realm, she would definitely be a top-tier Prodigy.
Yet now...
Jun Xiaoyao made no move.
Just that invisible Aura alone made Yun Tianlai, this Prodigy of the Nine Heavens, break out in a cold sweat.
"He's too strong! Young Master Jun's strength is definitely not as simple as he lets on!"
Celestial Maiden Tianlai exclaimed in her heart.
Such strength, even among the heroes of the Nine Heavens, was absolutely unique!
Even those top Forbidden Families' Young Lords, Emperor's Sons, and Goddesses on the Nine Heavens Dragon Phoenix Rankings might not be able to compare to Jun Xiaoyao, right?
Celestial Maiden Tianlai herself was also on the Nine Heavens Dragon Phoenix Rankings, making her a top-tier existence.
Yet, she was still intimidated by a wisp of Jun Xiaoyao's Qi.
Jun Xiaoyao was truly worthy of the title of the number one among the younger generation in the Immortal Realm!
"If you're joking, I don't mind," Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
"My apologies…"
Celestial Maiden Tianlai's eyes also held a hint of apology.
Previously, when she brought Jiang Luoli to the Nine Heavens, she had promised Jun Xiaoyao that she would ensure her safety.
Now, although Jiang Luoli was fine,
The matter of a marriage alliance had arisen, which was also a headache.
She knew what kind of relationship Jiang Luoli and Jun Xiaoyao had.
Back then, the reason Jiang Luoli could go to the Nine Heavens was because Jun Xiaoyao agreed.
Otherwise, Jiang Luoli would absolutely not have separated from Jun Xiaoyao.
"What? A marriage alliance? How could this be?"
Jiang Shengyi's expression also changed slightly.
She had known before that Jiang Luoli had been brought to the Nine Heavens.
At that time, she was happy for Jiang Luoli, as it was her Opportunity.
But now, such news suddenly came, which was indeed unexpected.
"Does your Immortal Mausoleum want to embarrass me?"
Jun Xiaoyao's tone completely turned cold.
"Of course not…" Yun Tianlai quickly retorted.
The current Jun Xiaoyao was unparalleled in power.
Even if she was a Prodigy of the Nine Heavens Immortal Mausoleum, she wouldn't dare to completely offend Jun Xiaoyao.
"I said, if you don't understand propriety, then I will teach you what propriety means."
Jun Xiaoyao's tone was still light, but it carried an invisible sense of majesty.
"The situation is not as simple as Young Master Jun thinks," Celestial Maiden Tianlai sighed.
"Xiaoyao, let her explain first, and clarify the matter," Jiang Shengyi said from the side.
She regarded Jiang Luoli as her own sister and knew how deeply Jiang Luoli loved Jun Xiaoyao.
It was impossible for her to simply enter into a marriage alliance with someone else; there must be a reason behind it.
"Speak," Jun Xiaoyao said.
He remained calm and composed.
Celestial Maiden Tianlai sorted out her thoughts before speaking.
"How much does Young Master Jun know about my Immortal Mausoleum?"
"It seems to have remnants of an Immortal Legacy, rumored to be an ancient Forbidden Zone formed by the descendants of Immortals," Jun Xiaoyao said.
He indeed didn't know much about the Ten Forbidden Zones of the Nine Heavens.
"That's just the outside perception. In fact, there are three founding ancestors who created my Immortal Mausoleum, known as the Three Immortal Ancestors."
"And the Dao Legacy left by the Three Immortal Ancestors, is also divided into three lineages."
"They are the Qiongxiao lineage, the Yunxiao lineage, and the Bixiao lineage," Celestial Maiden Tianlai explained.
"I see," Jun Xiaoyao said.
This reminded him of the Three Xiao Maidens in the Primordial Mythology.
"I am from the Yunxiao lineage, and the Yuan Ling Realm that Jiang Luoli inherited belongs to an ancient Fairy of the Bixiao lineage."
"So, Jiang Luoli belongs to the Bixiao lineage," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Exactly," Celestial Maiden Tianlai nodded, then continued.
"The reason the Yu Family had a bad attitude when they went to the Lower Realm to bring Jiang Luoli back was because they are a Forbidden Family belonging to the Qiongxiao lineage."
"Later, when the Immortal Extermination Sword attacked the Yu Family, severely injuring them, it also made the Qiongxiao lineage feel disgraced."
"Don't tell me it's because of this reason that Jiang Luoli is being targeted," Jun Xiaoyao frowned.
If that were truly the case, then the Immortal Mausoleum would be too neglectful of Jiang Luoli, the successor of an ancient Fairy.
"It's not that serious. In fact, over these years, among the three lineages, the Qiongxiao lineage is the strongest."
"My Yunxiao lineage is second."
"And the Bixiao lineage, due to the demise of that ancient Fairy, the Yuan Ling Realm's owner, is the weakest."
Hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered.
The demise of that ancient Fairy of the Bixiao lineage was probably related to a certain upheaval.
It was precisely because of this that the Yuan Ling Realm ended up in the Immortal Realm, and then was obtained by Jiang Luoli.
"In recent years, because of the prosperity of the Qiongxiao lineage, there is a strong tendency for them to become the main decision-makers of the Immortal Mausoleum."
"So my Yunxiao lineage and the Bixiao lineage decided to join forces to curb the Qiongxiao lineage and maintain balance in the Immortal Mausoleum."
Celestial Maiden Tianlai sighed at this point.
"Heh, it seems that even the high and mighty Life Forbidden Zone is no different from ordinary people," Jun Xiaoyao chuckled.
Celestial Maiden Tianlai said helplessly, "There's no such thing as true transcendence. Even Immortals probably have their own internal struggles and schemes."
"So why does Jiang Luoli have to be in a marriage alliance?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
Celestial Maiden Tianlai continued.
"My Immortal Mausoleum has always been dominated by females."
"As for the Legacy descendants, they all combine with outstanding heroes from other Forbidden Zones of the Nine Heavens."
"If a girl is born, she stays in the Immortal Mausoleum; if it's a boy, he belongs to the male's power."
Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand, "Stop. So what does this have to do with Jiang Luoli's marriage alliance?"
Celestial Maiden Tianlai sighed softly.
"Actually, in my Immortal Mausoleum, there is an ancestral land called Three Immortals Cave, which is a treasure trove of Opportunity."
"The opening time is uncertain, but each time it opens, it's a crucial point of contention for the three lineages."
"Because within it, there is something of paramount importance to the Immortal Mausoleum."
"And that item comes from the Immortal Mausoleum's founders, the Three Immortal Ancestors, and only a specific fated person can obtain it."
"Throughout history, no one in my Immortal Mausoleum has been able to obtain that item from the Three Immortals Cave."
"And in this generation, among the three lineages, three people have a chance."
"Liu Qiong Yan of the Qiongxiao lineage."
"The Yunxiao lineage is me."
"And the Bixiao lineage, naturally, is Jiang Luoli."
Celestial Maiden Tianlai slowly explained.
It could be said that these were all secrets of the Immortal Mausoleum.
However, Celestial Maiden Tianlai did not hide anything.
This also greatly alleviated Jun Xiaoyao's anger.
"So what is that treasure?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"Hunyuan Golden Dou," Celestial Maiden Tianlai stated directly.
"An Emperor Weapon?"
"No, it's an Immortal Artifact."
"The significance of the Hunyuan Golden Dou to my Immortal Mausoleum is equivalent to the heavenly emperor throne of the Immortal Court, or the Ten Halls of Yama of the Underworld," Celestial Maiden Tianlai said solemnly.
Jun Xiaoyao was also slightly surprised.
The Immortal Artifact left by the Immortal Mausoleum's founders, the Three Immortal Ancestors, was indeed an absolute treasure.
Moreover, this also indirectly showed how astonishing the foundation of a Forbidden Zone like the Immortal Mausoleum was.
"However, the Three Immortals Cave itself is also a difficult place, filled with various remnant arrays, predicaments, and dangers."
"And my Immortal Mausoleum is all female, so every time the Three Immortals Cave opens, the Immortal Mausoleum's females can enter with their Dao Companion or followers."
"And that Liu Qiong Yan is extremely strong, with countless heroes of the Nine Heavens falling for her."
"It is precisely because of this that the Bixiao lineage thought of having Jiang Luoli enter into a marriage alliance with a powerful hero."
"Firstly, it can consolidate the strength of the Bixiao lineage, increase allies, and reverse its decline."
"Secondly, it can increase Jiang Luoli's chances of successfully obtaining the Hunyuan Golden Dou."
Celestial Maiden Tianlai finally explained the reason.
"So that's how it is."
Jiang Shengyi also didn't expect the reason behind it to be so complex.
"So, who exactly did the Bixiao lineage find to form a marriage alliance with Jiang Luoli?"
Jun Xiaoyao's lips still held a faint smile.
Only, the curve of that smile was somewhat cold.
Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Celestial Maiden Tianlai's tone was uncharacteristically hesitant.
Thinking of the powerful Prodigy who was about to form a marriage alliance with Jiang Luoli, her eyes also held a hint of solemnity.
