74: Chapter 74 What will I do now that I've stolen my son's opportunity?

"Divine Son Wushang most likely cultivated a Body Refining Cultivation Technique, which is why he needs high-grade gold stones." Great Elder Jiang Yuyang muttered in a low voice.

At this moment, he also understood why Divine Son Wushang had previously used a Great Saint Weapon to exchange for the quasi-emperor grade longyan gold stone.

"Uncle Wushang has come out?" Jiang Nianyang also raised his head and looked over.

"Eh... The emperor aura within this kid's body seems even denser, and it's even stronger than mine." The spirit of tianyang treasure mirror's gaze flashed.

He looked at Xie Wushang, gnashed his teeth, and thought silently, "It must be Brother Ji who refined all the emperor flames in the Jiuyang Secret Realm."

"Detestable Brother Ji, truly despicable! He actually activated the jiuyang emperor array to suppress this seat while eating alone. Once I recover my strength, I will definitely teach you a lesson!"

Grief and indignation filled his heart.

The Opportunity in this Secret Realm was something the spirit of tianyang treasure mirror had been yearning for and planning for a long time ever since its awakening.

He had planned long ago to use this to consolidate his Foundation in the Emperor Realm, and then slowly plot his way to recover his Peak strength.

Who would have thought that at the very first step, someone else would pluck the fruits of his labor.

Stepping out of the passageway, Xie Wushang saw the Jiang Clan disciples who were suppressed by nine suns and kneeling on the lotus dais one by one.

"These people... have been kneeling here all along?" Xie Wushang touched the bridge of his nose and was slightly stunned. When his powerful Divine Sense was released, he discovered that not only was this divine pool lotus dais area filled with kneeling people, but even at the entrance of the Jiuyang Emperor Valley, many people were kneeling on the ground.

Those people had not yet appeared when he entered this place; they were obviously later arrivals.

Xie Wushang immediately fluttered down onto the lotus dais he had left from. With a wave of his hand, he formed a fire hand-seal and infused it into the lotus dais.

Instantly, ripples spread across the lotus dais, and the Formation patterns once lit up by the Jiuyang Emperor extinguished.

High in the air, the light patterns of the nine suns dimmed, transforming into nine streams of sun Qi that merged into nine directions of the Secret Realm.

In this way, the emperor pressure that could suppress the eight desolate realms vanished, allowing all living beings within the Jiuyang Emperor Valley to catch their breath.

"The emperor pressure has finally disappeared."

Jiang Lie, Jiang Zhao, and the others stood up, stretched, and let out a soft breath of relief.

Although under the scouring of the Jiuyang emperor pressure, all of them had improved and a Breakthrough was within sight,

being suppressed like this all the time was no solution either!

Jiang Daoran hurriedly flashed his body and flew toward Xie Wushang.

The Grand Elder followed along as well.

"Wushang... How is it? Where did you go just now?" Jiang Daoran asked with a face full of concern.

"I went to a Secret Realm..." Xie Wushang said.

"Oh, a Secret Realm!" Jiang Daoran's gaze tightened.

"There is a Legacy left behind by the Jiuyang Emperor there." Xie Wushang said.

Hearing this, Jiang Daoran wore a joyful expression. "Did you make any gains?"

"I refined some Jiuyang True Fire!" Xie Wushang said, "And I also obtained the Legacy of the Jiuyang Emperor."

"The Legacy of the Jiuyang Emperor?" Great Elder Jiang Yuyang and Jiang Daoran looked at each other.

"What kind of Legacy is it?" the two asked.

"The Jiuyang Emperor said it cannot be spoken of to outsiders." Xie Wushang said.

"The Jiuyang Emperor said?" Great Elder Jiang Yuyang thought to himself, "Could the manifestation of the Jiuyang Emperor's true spirit just now be because of Wushang?"

"My grandson truly possesses the bearing of an Emperor. Otherwise, how could the true spirit of an Emperor who has been dormant for tens of thousands of years suddenly awaken to impart the Dao to him?"

Jiang Daoran nodded slightly.

Jiang Lie, Jiang Zhao, and the others nearby were all shocked in their hearts. "So the manifestation of the Jiuyang Emperor's true spirit was because of Divine Son Wushang."

"Divine Son Wushang naturally possesses the bearing of an Emperor, and now that he has also obtained the Emperor's Legacy, his future achievements are simply unimaginable!"

Jiang Lie and the others looked at Xie Wushang with expressions of respect.

"Hehe, an Emperor's Legacy is no trivial matter and indeed cannot be spread outside." After pondering for a moment, Jiang Daoran smiled and asked, "Where is Ruoxi?"

"She is still comprehending the Profound Truth of the Sun, so I did not disturb her cultivation." Xie Wushang said.

"Entering the place of the Emperor's Legacy is not easy... She indeed must not be disturbed." Jiang Daoran said.

At this time, on the neighboring lotus dais, Jiang Nianyang activated the Formation Restriction, manifesting a spacetime passage connecting to the Jiuyang Secret Realm.

Jiang Nianyang's body turned into a streak of flame and entered it, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The passage vanished along with him.

"Nianyang has also entered the Legacy Secret Realm?" Jiang Daoran's gaze flickered.

"As expected of our clan's divine son." Great Elder Jiang Yuyang stroked his beard and nodded.

In merely a few breaths, the spacetime passage manifested again, and Jiang Nianyang flew out from within.

"Why is it so fast?" Seeing this, both Jiang Daoran and Great Elder Jiang Yuyang looked at Jiang Nianyang with astonished expressions.

At this moment, Jiang Nianyang looked at Xie Wushang with an extremely strange gaze.

Jiang Daoran and Great Elder Jiang Yuyang also looked at Xie Wushang, looking puzzled.

Xie Wushang touched the bridge of his nose with an awkward expression, thinking to himself, "Did I somehow steal my son's Opportunity?"

His gaze swept across, secretly glancing at Jiang Nianyang, feeling quite embarrassed in his heart.

"Detestable Brother Ji, you didn't even leave a single wisp of emperor flame for me, odious!" Within Jiang Nianyang's Sea of Consciousness, the spirit of tianyang treasure mirror gnashed its teeth, wishing it could come out and have a fight with the so-called Brother Ji, but refrained only because it hadn't fully recovered yet.

"Sigh, Revered Master, please don't be angry with Uncle Wushang. Who asked us to be inferior in skill? Next time we'll just take the lead a step earlier. There are so many opportunities, we aren't lacking this single one." Inside the Sea of Consciousness, Jiang Nianyang sighed and comforted his Revered Master.

"Inferior in skill! What inferior skill, he cheated alright! He actually activated the jiuyang emperor array left behind by the Revered Master to suppress this teacher, while going to refine the Jiuyang Emperor Flame himself... Detestable! However, what you said is right; let's immediately go to other dojos to avoid having this kid pluck the peaches again. But where should we go?" The spirit of tianyang treasure mirror stroked its chin and muttered in a low voice.

"If we rashly head to the other ancient emperor Secret Realms of the Jiang Clan, it will easily expose our identity, which would not be good." The spirit of tianyang treasure mirror pondered.

"Right, there is a place that also has a great Opportunity." The spirit of tianyang treasure mirror's eyes suddenly lit up as it looked at Xie Wushang. "There happens to be sun gold stone there... I can use that to reshape my mirror body, and if Nianyang enters it, he will also gain immense benefits."

"Hehe, Brother Ji, once I recover my strength, I'll settle accounts with you."

With a thought, the spirit of tianyang treasure mirror said, "Nianyang, let's go!" It raised its head and once again looked majestic.

Jiang Nianyang nodded slightly, stepped out, and walked toward Xie Wushang.

"Congratulations to Uncle Wushang on obtaining the Emperor's Legacy." He cupped his hands and bowed to offer congratulations.

Although his Opportunity had been snatched away, for some reason, he still felt full of favorable impression toward this Uncle Wushang.

"Nianyang, I'm really sorry for stealing your Opportunity. Next time, Uncle will definitely let you go first." Xie Wushang patted Jiang Nianyang's little head and said with a smile. Seeing the latter's obedient and sensible look, he felt a twinge of guilt in his heart.

A dignified father actually stealing his son's Opportunity?

If they recognized each other in the future, how was he supposed to handle this?

Would he be resented for a lifetime, and after having a son, not even raise him properly?

"Hehe, it's fine. The heavens and earth are vast with countless opportunities; it's impossible for them all to happen to coincide for us."

Jiang Nianyang said with a smile.

He remained full of confidence.

Besides, even without refining the emperor flame, he had the confidence to prove the Dao and become an Emperor.

Xie Wushang also smiled slightly, "Let's go, let's head back first!"

"Mn!" Jiang Nianyang nodded and walked outward together with Xie Wushang.

Seeing the harmonious appearance of the two, Jiang Daoran stroked his beard and nodded slightly, "Fortunately, fortunately. Looking at this appearance, Nianyang does not blame Wushang for taking his Opportunity. However, if he finds out that Wushang is his father, I wonder if they'll end up fighting in the future?"

Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

Several Elders of the Jiang Clan unanimously believed that Jiang Nianyang originated from Jiang Daoran's lineage.

The more Jiang Daoran looked, the more he felt this little fellow was his own descendant.

Based on his deductions, he believed it was even more likely that Jiang Nianyang's father was Xie Wushang.
