Wu Shattered Star River

The marriages of large family disciples are often not their own to decide. Concubines are insignificant, but the principal wife is usually assigned by the family.

For example, Xuan Yuanqing, the Seven Kill Marquis, and Jiang Lang, among others.

Marrying someone of equal social status is a long-standing tradition, not only among the human race but also among other races.

This involves the binding of family interests. When you marry a young lady from a wealthy family, the two families become bound together.

Deep ties and mutual support between large families are one of the reasons for their continued existence and growth.

Another point is to ensure the purity of the bloodline. The disciples of large families are all outstanding. Passed down through generations, with the survival of the fittest, their offspring will not be too bad.

Especially in this world where strength is respected, marrying an outstanding young lady from a large family can ensure that the offspring's talent will not be too bad.

If a phoenix is paired with a wild chicken, even if the wild chicken is excellent, will the offspring still be phoenixes?

This is why the disciples of large families attach so much importance to marriage.

But…

Jiang Han did not agree with this view, and he even disliked the rules of these wealthy families.

His parents were indeed extraordinary, but he had always considered himself a child of humble origins.

He was born in a small mountain village, and his parents disappeared when he was a teenager. Everything he has today has been earned through his own efforts, by fighting his way out of countless life-and-death situations.

He doesn't care about his parents' identities, and he doesn't really like the identity of the young master of the Yan Clan.

So, when Yan Qin said she disagreed, his expression became a little gloomy, and he asked, "Extraordinary identity? How extraordinary? Is he the Jade Emperor of Heaven? Even if he is the Jade Emperor of Heaven, so what?"

"Where was he when Jiang Li and I were being bullied? Where was he when Jiang Li was taken away? Where was he when I was being hunted down countless times and fell into desperate situations? Since he didn't care about me before, what qualifications does he have to care about me now?"

Yan Qin heard the resentment in Jiang Han's words. These words were directed at Jiang Henshui, but they were also directed at her. For a moment, Yan Qin didn't know how to answer.

She was silent for a moment, and said, "Your father has his own difficulties. His identity is higher than you can imagine. Looking at the entire Great World, he is also a famous powerhouse."

"Jiang Han… have you ever considered this? If one day you go to Heaven, because of your father's identity, a super-rich family might want you to marry their daughter, and then… secretly harm Si Li?"

"It's not that I don't like Si Li. I've heard about her and respect your love. I also thank her for everything she's done for you."

"But you can marry her as a co-wife. I think she wouldn't mind these things with her personality. If you find it difficult to say, I'll go and say it myself."

"No, I mind!"

Jiang Han said firmly, "Si Li is extremely important to me, and I don't want her to suffer any grievances."

"I'm here this time to discuss with my mother when to hold the wedding, not to discuss the matter of the principal wife or not. If my father doesn't recognize this daughter-in-law, then I can also not recognize him as my father!"

Jiang Han's attitude was extremely tough, and the underlying meaning was also very clear—if Yan Qin didn't support him, he would hold the wedding himself, whether Yan Qin came or recognized it, he would still hold it.

Yan Qin was silent again. She lowered her head, frowned, and pondered for a long time, sighing helplessly, "Alright, I support your decision. If I can meet your father, I will stand by your side."

"Thank you, Mother!"

Jiang Han felt relieved. He didn't want to have a bad relationship with Yan Qin, and he also wanted Yan Qin to attend his wedding. Hearing Yan Qin's compromise, his mood improved a lot.

He thought for a while and said, "Meet my father? Can we still meet? We can't go to the Upper Realm. He hasn't returned for so many years. Can he… still return?"

"You must believe in him!"

Yan Qin said firmly, "Your father is an extraordinary man. He is more legendary than you can imagine."

"He also went up step by step from below. He is also an amazing existence in the vast Celestial Court. So you must have confidence in him. He will definitely come back, definitely!"

"Okay!"

Jiang Han didn't want to ask about the affairs of the Celestial Court, because he felt that the distance was too far. Moreover, they couldn't go up, and the more they knew, the more troubles they would have.

He pondered for a moment, remembered something, and asked, "Mother, did you live in the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range back then? Is there a demon fox in the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range?"

Jiang Han forgot to ask about the little fox last time. This time, with a heart-to-heart talk, and Yan Qin having nothing to do, he naturally wanted to solve the doubts in his heart.

"Heavenly Fox Mountain Range?"

Yan Qin was stunned. She recalled carefully and said, "There was indeed a demon fox. Its strength was considered very strong in the Star Dust Realm, probably comparable to the seventh or eighth level of the Peeping Dao Realm. It followed me for a while, but was later killed by a Drought Demon Beast."

Jiang Han nodded slightly and asked, "Did that demon fox have offspring? I saw a little fox in the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range. This little fox followed me for a long time and is now following Jiang Li."

"Yes!"

Yan Qin nodded and said, "It gave birth to a daughter. The reason it was killed was also because it was particularly weak when giving birth."

"When we went there, it had already been killed. I raised its daughter for a while. I also suppressed that Drought Demon Beast under the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range. I don't know if it's dead or not."

"Oh?"

Jiang Han was stunned. He remembered something. He was chased by an assassin in the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range. He used the Earth Penetration Technique to enter the underground and saw an ancient golden coffin deep underground.

There was a foreign object in the ancient coffin. He had always wondered what it was. Could it be the Drought Demon Beast?

He quickly asked, "Mother, did you seal that Drought Demon Beast in an ancient golden coffin?"

"How do you know?"

Yan Qin was startled and explained, "Indeed, that demon fox followed me for a while, and I had some feelings for it. In a fit of anger, I suppressed this Drought Demon Beast, sealed it with an ancient coffin, and placed a restriction inside, making it wish it were dead."

"So that's how it is!"

Jiang Han was relieved. He used to think about solving this mystery when he was in the Star Dust Realm.

Now it seems that even if he went at that time, he would probably not be able to open the ancient coffin, after all, this was a restriction set up by Yan Qin.

Jiang Han remembered another thing and asked, "Mother, what did you mean by carving a portrait of yourself outside Tianluan City?"

"It didn't mean anything!"

Yan Qin explained, "I went to the Star Dust Realm, thinking that your father had awakened his memory, so I carved a portrait. If your father recovered his memory and combat power, he would easily get the news and come to see me."

"I waited in Tianluan City for a few months, but he didn't have any news, so I knew that his memory was still sealed, so I took the initiative to find him."

"Okay… one last question!"

Jiang Han paused and asked, "How strong was Father at his peak? If Huang Xiao can be compared to a Peeping Dao Realm level one warrior, what level could Father reach at his peak?"

"They can't be compared…"

Yan Qin sniffed and said, "Let's put it this way, if Huang Xiao is at the first level of the Peeping Dao Realm, my combat power at my peak should be comparable to the ninth level of the Peeping Dao Realm, your father at his peak… can be compared to the Dao Harmonization Realm, and the top level of the Dao Harmonization Realm!"

"This…"

Jiang Han's face showed surprise. The difference was a bit too big. This was simply the difference between a giant and an ant.

"That's not right—"

Jiang Han shook his head and said, "Mother, since you were so strong at your peak, and you have recovered the memories of your previous life, you should be able to easily suppress the current world with a little cultivation."

"It won't work!"

Yan Qin smiled bitterly and said, "The spiritual energy in the Lower Realm is too poor. The spiritual energy in the Upper Realm is completely different from that in the Lower Realm."

"More than a million years ago, the passage between the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm was destroyed, so the spiritual energy of the Upper Realm could not irrigate down, and the laws of the Great Dao in the Lower Realm also have defects."

"Cultivating to the end in this realm is only the combat power of Huang Xiao's level, and it is impossible to break through further. Therefore, for so many years, no strong person has shattered the void, ascended to immortality, or been conferred as a god."

Jiang Han became even more curious and asked, "What happened more than a million years ago? Why was the passage to the Upper Realm destroyed?"

"I don't know!"

Yan Qin cast her eyes towards the top of her head and said, "This should be a shocking secret. The specific reason can only be known by going to the Upper Realm and becoming a top-level existence…"
