56: Chapter 56: Is proving oneself an emperor more likely than giving birth to ten or eight divine bodies?

The Fire Dragon Fish Old Ancestor flew out from the Fire Palace.

Wherever it passed, the flames surged upward wrathfully, manifesting a huge blazing tornado that whipped up thousands of giant waves across the surrounding sea of fire.

The color of the heavens and earth changed, and fierce winds howled within the sea.

Yu Liuyan stood within the flames, its eyes resembling two scorching, dazzling suns as it looked forward with considerable majesty.

"Old Ancestor, it is those people."

Beside it, a Fire Dragon Fish looked towards Xie Wushang and the others at the end of the divine bridge ahead and said.

"Are they the ones?"

Yu Liuyan's gaze was like a torch as it looked at Xie Wushang and the others, yet it showed no intention of striking immediately.

"Let us see what kind of foundation they possess and how far they can break into the Divine Pool Lotus Sea."

Yu Liuyan whispered.

At this moment, Xie Wushang, Jiang Ruoxi, and Jiang Nianyang arrived at the edge of the towering suspended sacred mountain.

At a single glance, the sacred mountain appeared towering and majestic.

Near the jiuyang emperor pagoda, there were pavilions, grand halls, and cascading waterfalls.

Great Emperor array patterns were spread throughout the surrounding pavilions; if an ordinary person took a single wrong step, they would face a life-or-death crisis.

In front of the jiuyang emperor pagoda was a drill ground where an emperor monument stood.

In front of the monument was a huge divine pool covering an area of one hundred thousand meters in radius.

Flames soared upward within the pool.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine lotus platforms floated within, divided into ten rows.

Between each row of lotus platforms, an invisible Restriction light curtain cascaded down like a barrier, isolating them from one another.

At this moment, Jiang Clan descendants were already sitting cross-legged on many lotus platforms.

Xie Wushang, Jiang Nianyang, and the others arrived at the edge of the divine pool and looked at the lotus platforms inside the pool ahead.

"If you want to enter the jiuyang emperor pagoda... you must first pass through this Divine Pool Lotus Sea..." Jiang Lie said.

"The Divine Pool Lotus Sea... is it very difficult to pass?"

Jiang Ruoxi glanced at the lotus platforms ahead, turned her head, and asked Jiang Lie.

"This Divine Pool Lotus Sea contains Restrictions... The closer one is to the emperor monument, the stronger the imperial might contained within."

Jiang Lie said.

"There are quite a few Geniuses in our clan who tried to forcefully barge through the lotus platforms, and as a result, their bones and tendons were crushed by the imperial might, and their Primordial Spirits completely dissipated on the spot."

"This subordinate suggests that you first observe the emperor monument's Profound Truths on the lotus platforms after the seventh row, and continue moving forward after your strength improves."

He looked solemnly at Jiang Ruoxi, Xie Wushang, and Jiang Nianyang.

"Indeed, even a Saint would not dare to underestimate the Restrictions of the first three rows."

Jiang Zhao said with lingering fear.

Clearly, he had suffered losses there as well.

"Oh? Is it that powerful?"

Jiang Ruoxi's small eyes gleamed brightly, and she grew even more interested as she looked at the lotus platforms ahead.

"It is merely a sea of fire Restriction; how could it possibly stop this divine son's pace?"

Jiang Nianyang looked arrogant.

He looked at Xie Wushang, "Uncle Wushang, why don't we have a competition to see who can make it to the end."

His Battle Intent was fierce and imposing.

"Alright!"

Xie Wushang said in a clear voice.

Looking ahead, he also wanted to see what was so extraordinary about these fire sea lotus platforms.

While speaking, Jiang Nianyang had already strolled out and stepped into the divine pool ahead.

Ripples immediately appeared in the Void Realm of the divine pool, and a fire bridge condensed from flames manifested beneath Jiang Nianyang's feet.

He stepped on the fire bridge and advanced.

The fire bridge continuously extended forward.

"Interesting..."

Jiang Nianyang wore an excited expression and continued to stride forward.

"This..."

Seeing this, Jiang Lie frowned and reached out, wanting to give a few words of caution, but he saw Xie Wushang holding his daughter's hand and stepping into the air of the divine pool as well.

Ripples appeared beneath his feet, a fire bridge manifested, and they began walking forward.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Zhao looked at Jiang Lie and also strolled forward.

"I wonder how far several divine sons can go?"

The two exchanged glances and pondered inwardly.

They were also filled with anticipation.

Jiang Nianyang stepped forward, the divine bridge beneath his feet continuously extending.

On his left and right were lotus platforms ten zhang wide, each radiating a vast power of the fire Law.

Sitting cross-legged upon them allowed one to comprehend the Profound Truth of fire.

He quickly passed through four rows of lotus platforms and headed towards the sixth row.

Ripples arose ahead, and invisible waves of fire pressed down like a heavenly canopy, causing Jiang Nianyang's body to stagger backward.

Flames soared on Jiang Nianyang's body, erupting with a mighty force that directly broke through the fire canopy as he continued to stride forward.

"Divine Son Nianyang has actually broken through the Restriction power of the sixth row."

Behind him, Jiang Zhao was inwardly surprised.

"As expected of our clan's divine son!"

Jiang Lie said.

At this moment, Xie Wushang brought Jiang Ruoxi along and followed.

When heading towards the sixth row, a curtain of fire light also pressed down.

Flames soared on his body, evolving into a whirlpool.

The huge whirlpool directly devoured the fire power coming from ahead, allowing him to move forward with ease.

The divine bridge beneath his feet extended towards the fifth row lotus platform area ahead.

"Divine Son Wushang seems to be having an even easier time!"

Seeing this, Jiang Lie's gaze flashed.

"Let's go, let's take a look!"

Jiang Zhao immediately followed.

At this moment, he was filled with anticipation, wanting to see how far the several divine sons could ultimately go.

Boom!

Upon touching the fifth row, the pressure of the canopy was majestic in Aura.

Flames soared within Jiang Nianyang's body, directly bursting through the canopy as he continued forward.

Xie Wushang, carrying Jiang Ruoxi, closely followed and broke through the canopy, heading towards the fourth row as well.

"Who is this child? He is actually so ferocious, breaking into the fifth checkpoint!"

"You have been in seclusion for too long, so you wouldn't know! This is the newly emerged divine son of our Jiang Clan... At a mere seven years of age, he has stepped into the seventh realm, possessing the bearing of a Great Emperor..."

"What, a divine son? Our Jiang Clan has actually produced another divine son!"

When Jiang Nianyang and Xie Wushang were breaking through the checkpoints, the Jiang Clan descendants on the left and right lotus platforms who were comprehending Profound Truths were alarmed by the vast fluctuations emitted, and they cast their gazes sideways.

Upon seeing Jiang Nianyang's tender, young appearance, they were all incomparably astonished.

Afterward, they saw Xie Wushang.

"Who is that person? At such an age, he is only at the sixth realm!"

Upon seeing Xie Wushang, someone spoke with a look of disdain.

"No, how could someone in the sixth realm break through to here?"

But upon second thought, those who still wanted to ridicule Xie Wushang constricted their pupils.

The sixth realm...

They had all reached the fifth checkpoint only at the eighth realm!

Furthermore, every single one of them was a Genius, and their talent was second only to a Saint.

"This is the grandson of the Holy Master... the son of Young Master Jiang Tianxing... and he also possesses a divine body!"

"Another divine body? Is our Jiang Clan about to rise?"

"That is... didn't you see that little girl? She is Young Master Wushang's daughter, and she also possesses a divine body... It is said that Young Master Wushang has a total of three such children... The Elders in the clan are finding ways to have him bring the rest of his children back to the Jiang Clan."

Someone said.

"What! Having three children with divine bodies? Young Master Wushang... Is... Is this a divine body manufacturer?"

"That is... It is said that there are still Elders in our clan contacting various Holy Lands and imperial clans... wanting to arrange a marriage for Wushang, having him take ten or eight wives so he can give birth to a few more divine sons for the Jiang Clan..."

Among the nearby lotus platforms, the Jiang Clan descendants discussed animatedly.

"I think it works!"

"His children all possess the bearing of a Great Emperor; Young Master Wushang can completely focus on raising children!"

"Indeed, with such talent, why even bother to Cultivate? Just having children will make one invincible."

Many people nodded.

They also believed that Young Master Wushang could completely be left to specialize in bearing children.

Proving the Dao to become an emperor oneself.

How is that as probable as giving birth to ten or eight children to prove the Dao and become emperors?

"I wonder which checkpoint he can pass through!"

They looked at Xie Wushang, also filled with anticipation.

Boom!

Soon, Jiang Nianyang touched the canopy between the fifth checkpoint and the fourth checkpoint.

At this moment, the pressure ahead doubled.

Flames soared, transforming into a sun that pressed down on him, causing him to fly backward more than a dozen meters directly.

"As expected, with my current cultivation, wanting to break into the fourth row is still a bit too difficult."

Jiang Nianyang's gaze condensed.

"Divine body phenomenon... Open for me!"

He stabilized his figure, his gaze flashed, and flames suddenly surged wrathfully out from within his body.

A sea of fire manifested behind him, and a sun slowly rose from the sea of fire.

Wisps of true solar Qi transformed into soaring golden crows that orbited the sun, emitting bursts of cries.

In the air, sun flowers bloomed, accompanied by the Aura of the Great Emperor's Profound Truths.
