43: Chapter 43 The Great Emperor Who Proved the Dao? Nothing compares to the fragrance of being by Father's side.

"Not a fish in a pond?" The spirit of tianyang treasure mirror said disdainfully, "Out of all the geniuses this seat has seen, how many have managed to Proclaim the Dao and become an Emperor?"

"I think he's just putting on an act. Who knows how excited he is inside."

It wore a look of utter contempt.

"Hehe, Wushang, both of you have undergone the Awakening of the Sun Divine Body... From now on, you are the contemporary Divine Son (Divine Daughter) of our Jiang Clan."

Jiang Daoran stepped forward and stroked his beard as he said,

"A Divine Son!" Xie Wushang held his daughter and looked at Jiang Daoran.

"A Divine Son can enjoy the highest-grade resources of our Jiang Clan, and his status surpasses even that of Elders and Holy Revered Masters." Great Elder Jiang Yuyang said with a smile.

"Indeed, after stepping into the corresponding Realm, a Divine Son can enter the Jiang Clan's emperor Forbidden Ground and imperial treasury at any time. That is a privilege not even Holy Revered Masters possess!" said the Second Elder. While Elders like them could also visit the Forbidden Ground and treasury, there was a limit to the number of times.

Once a Divine Son reached the corresponding Realm, there would be no limits on the number of visits.

This meant the clan's resources would be open to them without restriction.

All for the sake of nurturing an Emperor.

"That is for the best." Xie Wushang nodded slightly.

His purpose in coming to the Jiang Clan was to help his Revered Master, Jiang Jiuyang, recover his strength.

If he could enter the imperial Secret Realm at any time and use the Emperor-grade Opportunity within to assist, he figured his Revered Master would recover his Emperor Realm in no time.

"If we can get an Emperor Herb, Revered Master's cultivation can truly be consolidated at the Emperor Realm." Jiang Nianyang's eyes lit up.

Though the spirit of tianyang treasure mirror had recovered to the Emperor Realm, it was not stable and could not be considered a true Emperor Realm expert.

Boom!

At this moment, within the Jiang Clan territory,

a beam of Sword Qi soared into the sky.

A peerlessly elegant woman dressed in a floral-patterned fire skirt and wearing a jade hairpin soared upwards, standing in mid-air.

An ocean-vast imperial might permeated the air, enveloping the entire Jiang Clan territory.

"Imperial might... This is our clan's Quasi-Emperor Qinghong!"

In Emperor Stele Valley, the Grand Elder's gaze flashed, and he quickly looked up at the peerlessly elegant female quasi-emperor high in the sky.

Jiang Daoran and the other six Elders also looked up.

"Quasi-Emperor Qinghong is only nine hundred years old, yet she has already stepped into the Sixth Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Emperor Realm. She has high hopes of becoming an Emperor in the future. I never expected her to come out of seclusion." The Second Elder looked up at Quasi-Emperor Qinghong with a face full of respect. When Emperors did not appear, Quasi-Emperors were the highest combat strength.

"A Quasi-Emperor!" Xie Wushang's gaze flickered as he looked at Quasi-Emperor Qinghong with a calm expression.

At this moment, Quasi-Emperor Qinghong cast a disdainful glance downward toward the drill grounds of Emperor Stele Valley.

She instantly locked her eyes onto Jiang Ruoxi in Xie Wushang's arms.

"Not bad, entering the Divine Ability Realm at the age of seven. Truly worthy of being a Divine Daughter..." Quasi-Emperor Qinghong nodded with considerable satisfaction.

"Little girl, I am Quasi-Emperor Qinghong. Would you be willing to take me as your Revered Master?" Quasi-Emperor Qinghong said to Jiang Ruoxi with imposing Aura.

"Take a Revered Master?" Jiang Ruoxi blinked her jewel-like eyes, glanced at Quasi-Emperor Qinghong, and then looked back at Xie Wushang.

"This little girl is looking for her daddy's opinion?" whispered several Elders. "She truly is an obedient daughter."

"Wushang has raised a good daughter!" Jiang Daoran stroked his beard and smiled.

"Whether you want to take a Revered Master is entirely up to your own will." Xie Wushang said.

"Okay." Jiang Ruoxi nodded, then looked at Empress Qinghong.

"Empress Big Sister, if I take you as my Revered Master, will I have to Cultivate every day?" Jiang Ruoxi asked.

"With your natural talent, as long as you Cultivate diligently under your Revered Master, you can step into the Great Saint Realm within thirty years." Empress Qinghong said.

Jiang Ruoxi didn't care much about becoming a Great Saint. She blinked her eyes and asked, "Cultivate diligently? Does that mean I won't be able to play at all?"

"Play? With such natural talent, how can you waste time? If you have the Opportunity, it is not impossible to step into the Emperor Realm at the age of six hundred." Quasi-Emperor Qinghong said.

"Then I won't take you as my Revered Master." Jiang Ruoxi pursed her small lips and lowered her head.

"What! This little girl actually refused to take Empress Qinghong as her Revered Master?" Seeing this, the nearby Jiang Clan disciples were extremely shocked.

"Empress Qinghong is a Sword Cultivator, and her 'Great Sun Burial Domain Sword Classic' is close to Perfection. Her combat strength is so strong that she is practically invincible among peers."

"If she can obtain her true teachings, she will surely become a supreme figure in the future. The Divine Daughter actually refused?"

"Perhaps the Divine Daughter is still young and doesn't know how strong Empress Qinghong is." Everyone discussed among themselves.

"Ruoxi, would you like to reconsider? Empress Qinghong is the contemporary Number One Empress of our clan... Her Sword Dao is peerless." The Grand Elder said with a smile.

Ruoxi was a girl, so it was most fitting for Empress Qinghong to teach her.

"Once her 'Great Sun Burial Domain Sword Classic' is unleashed, within a thousand miles, gods and demons must retreat, and she is invincible among peers!"

"Think about it, if it were you, a single sword strike would bury and destroy the enemies of an entire Domain... How majestic would that be?"

Mentioning the 'Great Sun Burial Domain Sword Classic', Great Elder Jiang Yuyang was also filled with reverence, light shining in his eyes.

That was a sword classic created by an ancient emperor of the Jiang Clan, and its might was earth-shattering and unprecedented.

"'Great Sun Burial Domain Sword Classic'?" Jiang Ruoxi tilted her head and looked up at Empress Qinghong in the high sky.

Empress Qinghong stood loftily and refined in mid-air. Without saying much, a strange phenomenon suddenly rose from her body.

Flames surged, transforming into a vast sea of fire Domain hanging high above.

Within that sea of fire, a sun slowly rose.

Looking closely, the sea of fire was practically like a world of its own. Inside, waves of fire rolled, and the true Qi of the sun whistled, transforming into swords of flames that roared out from the sea of fire, hovering and vibrating around the giant sun high in the sky.

Flames also surged within this sun, which was like a world of its own, seemingly condensing endless swords of flames that were ready to strike. Merely the sound of the swords humming and the dazzling Sword Qi made people's scalps tingle and their hearts split with terror.

It was not difficult to imagine what kind of world-destroying might would be unleashed if the swords within that phenomenon roared down.

Boom, boom!

Sword Qi shook.

All the Jiang Clan Cultivators in the air immediately retreated.

Even Saints did not dare to stand within ten miles of her.

"Such terrifying Sword Qi!"

"This is simply a Domain of swords!"

"As expected of the 'Great Sun Burial Domain Sword Classic'... I feel as though hundreds of millions of swords are ready to strike."

The Jiang Clan Cultivators drew in cold breaths. Just taking a look at those dense giant swords of flames was enough to chill one to the bone.

They did not dare to face their sharp edge.

"If this sword strike were to be unleashed... even Great Saints would be annihilated." Jiang Yuyang whispered, feeling his scalp tingle.

"Ruoxi, this 'Great Sun Burial Domain Sword Classic' is indeed very strong. If you like the Dao of the sword... you can take Empress Qinghong as your Revered Master." Jiang Daoran advised.

High in the sky, Empress Qinghong wore an arrogant expression, looking calmly at Jiang Ruoxi without speaking further.

She believed that as long as the little girl before her had heard of her reputation, she would definitely agree to take her as a Revered Master.

"The 'Great Sun Burial Domain Sword Classic' really looks very strong..." Jiang Ruoxi blinked her spiritually charming eyes and looked at Empress Qinghong.

A curve appeared at the corner of Empress Qinghong's mouth. She seemed completely confident, knowing that the girl before her would definitely be moved by her.

Several Elders also stroked their beards. "With Empress Qinghong teaching her, Ruoxi will surely step into the Quasi-Emperor Realm sooner."

However, just as everyone was overjoyed, Jiang Ruoxi's childish and innocent words continued, "Compared to Cultivating, Ruoxi wants to stay by Daddy's side every day."

Jiang Ruoxi said, "So, I'm sorry, Empress Big Sister, I cannot take you as my Revered Master."

She muttered inwardly to herself.

"Proclaim the Dao and become an Emperor? How can that compare to staying by Daddy's side? I ran away from home secretly, and who knows when Mother might catch me and drag me back. As for the 'Great Sun Burial Domain Sword Classic', I've already obtained the 'Taiyin Sealing Heaven Sword Classic' of the Ji Clan."

"That is also an Emperor-grade sword classic."

She muttered inwardly. The little girl was not short of Emperor classics at all.

Whenever she wanted to learn, she could also take a Quasi-Emperor of the Ji Clan as her Revered Master at any time.
