47: Chapter 47 Four Great Emperors, Two Dead and One Wounded

"Good!" Seeing Xie Wushang's serious expression, Quasi-Emperor Bayang was slightly stunned before speaking like this.

The anger in his heart diminished a bit.

"Could this little fellow truly possess the heart to seek the Dao? But his cultivation is far too weak! Very well, let us see how he seeks the Dao."

Quasi-Emperor Bayang calmed his emotions.

Then he looked toward Jiang Nianyang, "And what about you?" A smile covered his face.

Relying on his Divine Sense, he took in all the surrounding discussions and already knew that the little toddler before him had no Foundation in the Jiang Clan.

He thought that he would agree to take him as Revered Master.

After all, only with someone to protect him could he last long.

"This little fellow possesses seventh-realm cultivation at such a young age... His potential is far stronger than that Jiang Wushang. Taking him as a Disciple would be even better." Quasi-Emperor Bayang stroked his stubble, pondering inwardly as a smile surfaced at the corner of his mouth, completely devoid of his previous displeasure.

"Apologies, this Divine Son's only purpose in this life is to attain the Celestial Emperor Dao. Unless they are a Great Emperor, none are worthy of being my Revered Master," Jiang Nianyang said.

With his hands clasped behind his back and looking completely at ease, although his tone was childish, his words rang with strength and power, and his gaze was incomparably resolute.

As soon as these words were spoken, Quasi-Emperor Bayang's body trembled, and he almost plummeted straight down from high in the sky.

"Unless they are a Great Emperor, none are worthy of being my Revered Master?" Quasi-Emperor Bayang's gaze condensed, the light within looking like sharp blades as he looked at Jiang Nianyang.

The Grand Elder hurriedly stepped forward, "Divine Son! It is a joyous occasion that you possess the heart to seek the Dao... However, the Great Emperors of our clan are all in seclusion and likely have no time to teach you. Quasi-Emperor Bayang's strength is also among the peak existences of the quasi-emperors; his guidance will be quite enough."

"Indeed! Once you step into the Quasi-Emperor Realm, the Great Emperors of our clan will naturally emerge from seclusion to teach you." The other few Elders also accompanied with smiles.

"There is no need." Jiang Nianyang waved his small hand and said, "I do not need anyone to teach me; I can naturally claim the title of Emperor on my own."

"This..." The several Elders wore awkward expressions as they looked at Jiang Nianyang and then toward Quasi-Emperor Bayang.

For a moment, none of them knew how best to speak.

"Good, good, good. Since that is the case, this seat would like to see how you attain the Emperor Dao in the future." Quasi-Emperor Bayang wore a displeased expression.

Afterwards, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave. With a single step forward, he had already appeared a thousand meters away.

"Hmph, a bunch of yellow-haired brats. Throughout the long ages, the various Great Emperor Families have produced countless Divine Sons, yet how many have claimed the title of Emperor?"

"There will be a time when you regret this."

Jiang Bayang muttered inwardly.

Only a Great Emperor could act as a Revered Master.

But where would a Great Emperor find such leisure to instruct others?

One must know that Great Emperors also have enemies and desire to advance even further.

Ever since the Jiang Clan's Great Emperor Jiuyang perished thirty thousand years ago, Jiang Liuyang was severely injured.

The Great Emperor in Outer Space, Jiang Qiyang, was also ambushed and perished by enemies.

Out of the Jiang Clan's four Great Emperors, two directly died and one was injured.

The remaining ancient emperor, Jiang Canghai, burned his Origin power to resist formidable enemies thirty thousand years ago, and his Lifespan was nearing exhaustion.

In recent years, in order to prolong his life, Jiang Canghai traveled far to other realms to search for the Undying Emperor Herb, wishing to live out another lifetime.

It was also six thousand years ago that Jiang Xinghe successfully attained the Emperor Dao.

The Jiang Clan still had a heavenly emperor weapon holding down the fort.

Otherwise...

The Jiang Clan would likely have already met with a catastrophic disaster.

With Great Emperors having enemies, the matter of instructing younger generations naturally fell to the quasi-emperors.

Yet right now, these few toddlers had ambitions higher than the heavens and actually rejected him, Jiang Bayang.

"Alas!" Jiang Bayang sighed. Ripples emerged around him, and a Void Realm passage materialized. He stepped directly into it and vanished.

"Old Ancestor..." Seeing Quasi-Emperor Bayang leave, Jiang Daoran reached out, wanting to speak, but the other party had already vanished.

"Alas..."

The other few Elders let out long sighs.

"Now that our clan's Great Emperors are in seclusion... who is going to teach these few children!" The Third Elder wore a worried expression.

They had successively angered two quasi-emperors and driven them away.

The remaining quasi-emperors of the Jiang Clan naturally would not come to court this trouble and lose their own face.

Because of this, without a quasi-emperor to instruct them, could they possibly count on Saints like themselves?

Even if they were willing, the little fellows would likely look down upon them!

The seven Elders looked at Xie Wushang and Jiang Nianyang, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Jiang Nianyang raised an eyebrow, thinking inwardly, "Regret? My Revered Master once followed the Jiang Clan's contemporary number one emperor, Great Emperor Jiuyang. His experience on the Emperor's Road far surpasses that of ordinary Great Emperors... Moreover, this young Revered Master has awakened the Demon Race's 'Primal Heavenly Demon Pupils'. Whether it is a Divine Ability or a forbidden technique, I can learn it with just a single glance. Do I still need a quasi-emperor like you to teach me?"

It was precisely because he possessed such Foundation that Jiang Nianyang had the arrogance to seek the Celestial Emperor Dao.

"Saint Lord, what do you think?" The Third Elder looked toward Jiang Daoran.

Jiang Daoran looked toward Xie Wushang, wanting to say something, but upon catching sight of Jiang Ruoxi's pure and adorable expression, he shook his head and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes and misfortunes; let them be. Perhaps the little fellows really can walk out on their own Dao?"

"Very well." The Third Elder nodded slightly. He looked toward Jiang Ruoxi and Jiang Nianyang, pondering inwardly, "These two little fellows are young, so a few years can be delayed... But Wushang, if he does not strive to catch up, he is likely to waste this inherited Emperor Blood!"

The Elders in Emperor Stele Valley were in low spirits.

The surrounding Jiang Clan Disciples high in the sky were all clicking their tongues in wonder.

Two Divine Sons and a Goddess refused to take a quasi-emperor as Revered Master.

Placed in the Jiang Clan, this must be the very first time!

"Heh, Xie Wushang's brain has water in it; he actually refused to take a quasi-emperor as Revered Master." Wang Linglong was overjoyed inwardly.

"And that Jiang Nianyang, without any Foundation, even if you are a Divine Son, how can you gain a foothold in the Jiang Clan?"

"Truly, heaven is helping me, heaven is helping me."

Carrying a face full of excitement, Wang Linglong immediately flew toward Yaoyang Heavenly Palace.

Discussions buzzed throughout the Jiang Clan, yet Xie Wushang wore a completely calm expression.

Jiang Nianyang likewise did not care about others' thoughts.

Jiang Ruoxi was eating a lollipop. Seeing the Grand Elder look over as if wanting to speak, she flipped her palm, and a lollipop appeared in her hand, "Grand Elder, do you want to eat one? I'll give it to you. It's made from Saint fruit syrup, oh, it's super delicious and can even enhance cultivation."

Hearing the little girl's previous words, the Grand Elder's heart felt warm; this lass was quite considerate after all.

But hearing the words that followed, his eyelids twitched, and his whole being felt unwell.

"What, using Saint fruits to make syrup? Isn't this far too extravagant? Saint fruits—even for the Saints of an emperor clan, they can only receive one a month!"

"To actually use Saint fruit syrup to make lollipops as snacks to eat, no wonder this lass entered the seventh realm at such a young age."

"Her maternal clan must also be a Celestial Emperor Family." Several Elders had fluctuating thoughts.

"Alas, one cannot compare, one cannot compare! With this lass's Foundation, stepping into the Quasi-Emperor Realm is nothing short of effortless."

In the end, they thoroughly let go of their worries.

Her maternal clan was a Celestial Emperor Family.

Her father was also of a Celestial Emperor Family. If the resources of both clans were accumulated, as long as she had a bit of fortune, this lass could step into the Emperor Realm.

So what if she didn't take a Revered Master? Let her be.

When that day truly arrived, would they have to worry about not having a Great Emperor to instruct her?

What the Jiang Clan should be worrying about was the matter of her identity's allegiance!

"These are your Divine Son tokens..." Jiang Daoran flipped his palm and took out three tokens.

After carving their names onto them, he flicked his palm, and the tokens flew separately toward Xie Wushang, Jiang Ruoxi, and Jiang Nianyang.

The three of them received their tokens.

"Heh, Nianyang, since you have no relatives in the Jiang Clan, why not first be adopted into this old man's lineage?" the Grand Elder smiled and said.

"No!" Jiang Daoran refused.

"Nianyang is obviously my descendant; how could he be adopted out to someone else?" he pondered inwardly.

"I see that he looks somewhat similar to my son Tianxing. How about he first moves into Tianxing Palace together with Wushang?" Jiang Daoran said.
