31: Chapter 31 Jiang Nianyang, Xie Wushang's son?

The child's mind sank into his Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment, a fragmented treasure mirror floated within his Sea of Consciousness.

The treasure mirror was missing a few corners, but the light on its surface was blazing, resembling a sun, occasionally bursting forth with blazing solar light.

This was unexpectedly an Emperor weapon. Although fragmented, its might was still no weaker than the Jiang Clan's tianyang emperor bead.

"Revered Master, I heard that whenever descendants of the Jiang Clan wandering outside return to acknowledge their ancestors and return to the clan, they all have to undergo review. Can I pass?" The child's mind manifested an illusory figure, looking at the fragmented treasure mirror in the Sea of Consciousness, and asked with some worry.

"After all, my maternal clan's Bloodline... is a taboo!"

"Rest assured, as long as your Jiang Clan Bloodline within your body is rich enough... and your Physique is strong enough, the Jiang Clan naturally won't care about these tedious formalities... Besides, with your Revered Master protecting you, do those younger generations of the Jiang Clan dare to rebel?" said the spirit of tianyang treasure mirror.

Then saw ripples spread across the treasure mirror, manifesting a nine-year-old boy wearing a fiery robe and a solar jade crown.

Behind him, there was also a sea of fire phenomenon floating up and down.

Within the phenomenon, a treasure mirror floated.

That was the manifestation of the Emperor weapon's phantom.

The boy before him looked young, yet he acted all mature and senior-like, utterly like an old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years.

"Since that is the case, why didn't Revered Master directly reveal your identity, instead letting this Disciple join the Jiang Clan by way of acknowledging ancestors and returning to the clan?"

The child asked.

"Your Revered Master was brilliantly talented in the past, but now he has barely recovered to the Emperor Realm after all. In all things, we still need to keep a low profile."

The boy wearing the crown said.

Now he could only unleash a single Great Emperor attack, so naturally he did not dare manifest himself in the world.

"Very well, with my, Yun Nianyang's, natural talent, I will definitely rise within the Jiang Clan and attain the Dao to become an Emperor."

"In this way, Mother won't have to be forced into a marriage alliance."

The child said with a confident expression.

His mother, Yun Shuyue, had encountered a Disaster King eight years ago in the Disaster Battlefield while fighting over the undying nine-leaf flower with eight other peerless Saintesses. She was poisoned and later rescued by a man of extraordinary strength, giving birth to him.

Because she instantly gave birth to two Prodigies who stepped into the Divine Ability Realm at the age of seven.

Furthermore, her mother had never been married, hence she was targeted by other Emperor clans who wanted to form a marriage alliance with her so they could borrow her womb to produce children.

After all, being able to produce two Prodigies possessing the bearing of a Great Emperor meant they could continuously perpetuate it in the future.

To prevent his mother from marrying another man's wife, Yun Nianyang decided to come to the Jiang Clan to help Revered Master recover his strength and to search for Great Emperor Opportunity.

"Little fellow, you must remember that your surname is Jiang; do not say your surname is Yun anymore. Your maternal clan's identity is a taboo after all."

The spirit of tianyang treasure mirror said.

"Yes! From now on, I shall be called Jiang Nianyang." The child nodded, and in an instant, he arrived outside the Jiang Clan's imperial formation.

From afar, two armored patrol guards of the Jiang Clan rode over on dragon-scaled horses, and an Aura of a half-step Saint swept outward.

"Who goes there!"

"This is the Jiang Clan's territory, please halt."

The two armored guards spoke with cold gazes and considerable majesty.

"Two big brothers, I am a direct descendant of the Jiang Clan wandering outside, and now I have specially come to acknowledge my ancestors and return to the clan." Jiang Nianyang cupped his fists and said.

"Acknowledge ancestors and return to the clan?" One armored guard was full of astonishment, sizing up Jiang Nianyang.

"Little fellow, you wouldn't happen to have heard that our Jiang family's Holy Lord had a grandson wandering outside who was brought back, and came here to try your luck as well, would you?"

The other armored guard said.

"What, you don't believe me?" Jiang Nianyang's gaze flashed, and a majestic look appeared in his eyes.

At the same time, flames surged within his body, and a mighty wave of Bloodline Power transformed into raging infernos, soaring straight into the sky.

In an instant, a sea of fire evolved around Jiang Nianyang's body.

"The Aura of the seventh realm..."

"At such a young age, to possess the Aura of the seventh realm—even our Jiang family's First Saint never had such strength when he was young!"

Seeing this, the two armored guards looked at each other in dismay.

You must know that they had Cultivated for a hundred years, yet they only had the cultivation of the eighth realm.

The child before them looked to be only seven or eight years old, yet he displayed the cultivation of the seventh realm.

Such a figure could only be rivaled by the sequential seeds heavily nurtured by Emperor clans.

Those people all came from noble backgrounds, being either the offspring of Great Saints or the offspring of quasi-emperors.

Yet the child before them claimed to be a Jiang Clan descendant wandering outside.

"Could it be that he is truly the offspring of some important figure in our Jiang Clan wandering outside?" The two transmitted voice messages to each other, pondering inwardly.

Such a Genius was destined to be honored as a Saint in the future; there was completely no need to come to the Jiang Clan to bluff and deceive.

Just as the two were incomparably shocked in their hearts, within that vast sea of fire behind Jiang Nianyang, a sun slowly rose.

The moment the sun rose, its light illuminated all directions, dazzling the eyes. The True Sun Fire it emitted burned the Void Realm until it warped.

The flames diffusing from within rippled outward, transforming into circles of ripples as if they could cleanse the universe.

That fluctuation impacted the two armored guards.

They only felt that the True Sun Fire ahead was about to melt their armor, and heat was rising from their Primordial Spirit.

As if they were about to be burned into nothingness.

"What a terrifying flame!"

"This Aura has already surpassed the eighth realm!"

The two were terrified in their hearts, immediately manifesting a flame light barrier on their bodies for protection, and retreating three zhang back-to-back.

Afterward.

They looked up at the slowly rising sun behind Jiang Nianyang, and a great fear and awe surged into their hearts.

This was the Bloodline phenomenon.

The Aura it contained was even greater than the Cultivator's own cultivation, and it could even suppress high-level Cultivators of the same source Bloodline.

"This... This is our Jiang Clan's Bloodline phenomenon 'Rising Sun over a Sea of Fire'!"

"This phenomenon only appears when the Bloodline reaches Saint-Grade!"

"No... The Aura in his phenomenon seems to surpass ordinary Saint-Grade."

"Quick, quickly report to the Holy Lord. A Prodigy of our clan has returned and wants to acknowledge their ancestors and return to the clan."

The two were shocked in their hearts.

One of them immediately turned around, intending to enter the clan personally to report to the Holy Lord.

The other person remained in place.

"Young Master, I am Jiang Min. Please wait a moment. Once this matter is reported to the Holy Lord, arrangements will be made for you to acknowledge your ancestors and return to the clan."

Jiang Min stepped forward, cupping his fists and bowing to the child before him, his tone and gaze both appearing incomparably respectful.

"With such a phenomenon, this child's future achievements will be boundless. At the very least, he has the chance to become a Saint King, or even a Great Saint."

"We must not slack off."

Jiang Min pondered inwardly.

A Great Saint-Grade powerhouse, placed within the Jiang Clan, was also a pillar of strength and could become the decision-maker of a lineage.

After all, Great Emperors were hard to come by.

Quasi-emperors also spent many years in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Emperor Realm, and rarely managed matters within the clan.

That decision-maker naturally would be an eleventh-realm Great Saint-Grade powerhouse.

"Very good! In that case, this Young Master shall wait here." Jiang Nianyang nodded quite satisfyingly, his childish tone full of majesty.

Clearly, he also possessed an extraordinary status within his maternal clan on ordinary days, and the sea of fire behind him had not converged.

The flames within churned, continuously stirring up heavy ripples in the air.

This attracted the sideways glances of countless passing Jiang Clan descendants.

"What a terrifying True Sun Fire!"

"Such a phenomenon... When did our Jiang Clan produce another Sun Holy Body?"

"At such a young age, to possess the strength of the seventh realm... In the future, he's probably going to be able to compete for the position of Holy Lord!"

"Indeed! It seems Young Master Tianxing's son has a competitor."

"You mean Young Master Wushang? He is nearly thirty, and his Dantian is shattered; how could he compare to the little Young Master before us?"

The passing Jiang Clan descendants discussed animatedly among themselves.
