76: Chapter 76 The Abyss of the Falling Sun

Xie Wushang locked onto the information regarding the Abyss of the Fallen Sun within the jade talisman.

"Wushang, do you have a target in mind?" Jiang Daoran looked at Xie Wushang and said, "The quasi-emperor-Rank 'Star-Patterned Gold' that the Heavenly Dao Auction House will be auctioning in a month is the easiest to obtain. When the time comes, Grandpa can pre-advance a sum of Spirit Stones from the clan to buy it for you."

"Pre-advance?" Xie Wushang said. "Do I need to pay it back?"

"It's fine, there's no interest, Grandpa can afford to pay it back." Jiang Daoran wore an awkward expression, then said earnestly.

"There is no need for that." Xie Wushang said, "A single piece of quasi-emperor-Rank 'Star-Patterned Gold' isn't very useful for me to improve my strength."

"Then how many do you need?" Jiang Daoran was somewhat embarrassed.

Although he was a Saint Revered Master, he stayed in the Jiang Clan year-round and rarely went out on adventures, thus lacking windfall wealth.

Compared to other half-step Great Saints, he was probably quite a lot poorer.

After all, other Great Saints could go to ancient ruins to seek Opportunity, and acquiring just a few Saint artifacts could sell for a substantial amount of Spirit Stones.

"A dozen or so, I suppose." Xie Wushang said.

"A dozen or so…" Jiang Daoran felt a toothache coming on, and he repeatedly took sips of wine to calm his nerves.

"I plan to go to the Abyss of the Fallen Sun…" Xie Wushang said, "Not only does this place have quasi-emperor-Rank sun gold stone…"

"Legend has it that there is also emperor-Rank sun crimson gold… If I can gain something there, it will save a lot of trouble."

Hearing that Xie Wushang wanted to go to the Abyss of the Fallen Sun, Jiang Daoran quickly put down his wine cup. "That Abyss of the Fallen Sun is an ancient forbidden zone that has existed for endless years."

"In the past, Great Emperors who entered its depths were also startled into retreating, and quite a few quasi-emperors perished there. It is inappropriate for you to go rashly!"

Jiang Daoran wore a worried expression.

"Indeed!" Jiang Mo said, "Half a month ago, it was said that a Saint King went to the Abyss of the Fallen Sun and was directly burned into nothingness."

He also had lingering fears.

"Oh, even Great Emperors who went inside were startled into retreating?" Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed.

"The Abyss of the Fallen Sun is indeed very perilous…" Inside the disaster prison bead, Ji Qianyue manifested and spoke leisurely.

"It is fine." Just at this moment, inside the disaster prison bead, flames surged, nine suns rose high, and the Jiuyang Great Emperor manifested.

He spoke with considerable majesty.

His aura had evidently become even stronger now.

"Revered Master!" Xie Wushang's Primordial Spirit bowed in salute toward the Jiuyang Great Emperor.

Jiang Jiuyang nodded slightly and said, "The Abyss of the Fallen Sun is indeed very perilous… There are ancient Great Emperors dormant within the depths."

"There really are ancient Great Emperors." Hearing this, Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed.

"However, this Great Emperor's Lifespan is coming to an end, and he has been slumbering for countless years… He will not easily make a move." The Jiuyang Great Emperor said.

Xie Wushang looked toward the Jiuyang Great Emperor.

"In the past, when this Revered Master was Undergoing Tribulation there, I once sensed this person's aura. It was very strong, yet already in its twilight years."

"Already in its twilight years, is it." Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed.

"A Great Emperor's Lifespan is also limited…"

"A twilight Great Emperor will suffer a loss of Lifespan every time he makes a move; as long as we do not provoke him, there is nothing to fear." Ji Qianyue nodded slightly.

"In that case, this place is indeed a good destination." Xie Wushang said.

"Naturally. Thirty thousand years have passed, and this Revered Master should also go retrieve the Emperor Realm Dao intent left behind from the past." Jiang Jiuyang said.

Back then, when he underwent tribulation in the Abyss of the Fallen Sun, the Great Emperor Dao intent leaked out, causing certain regions to directly transform into Great Emperor forbidden zones.

Even quasi-emperors would perish upon entering them.

One could imagine just how terrifying a Great Emperor's Dao intent was.

If it were retrieved, it would also be of tremendous benefit to Jiang Jiuyang.

Seeing that Revered Master had also spoken thus, Xie Wushang completely locked onto his target.

"Wushang, you also needn't be anxious. With your natural talent, after stepping into the Saint Realm, Grandpa can apply for the clan's resources for you."

Jiang Daoran said.

Although Xie Wushang was a Divine Son.

However, resources also had a Rank.

Different Realms were issued different resources; after all, there was more than one Divine Son in the Imperial Clan.

If everyone demanded emperor-Rank resources, even the Immortal Imperial Clan would find it difficult to sustain itself.

As long as he stepped into the ninth Realm, applying for quasi-emperor-Rank gold and stone wouldn't be difficult.

"It's fine. As long as I don't go to the core region, I suppose I won't encounter major trouble."

Xie Wushang withdrew his thoughts, took a sip of wine, and said.

"Since you have already decided, Grandpa will go to the clan to apply and have a quasi-emperor act as your Protector." Jiang Daoran said.

Seeing that his own grandson had already made a decision, it wasn't good for him to stop it.

"A quasi-emperor?" Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed as he thought to himself, "Now that my Immortal Golden Body Formula has reached Minor Achievement, my physique can already withstand a quasi-emperor's strike… If I fully urge the Law power of the disaster prison bead, even quasi-emperors won't be my match."

"What's more, Revered Master has already recovered his Emperor Realm."

"This trip out happens to give certain people an Opportunity."

"It is also time to make a clean break with them."

Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed.

His purpose for coming to the Jiang Clan.

First: to improve Revered Master's strength, which was already half-achieved.

Second: to avenge his father, which could now be put into execution.

"There is no need for that." Xie Wushang said, "If I am sheltered by others and undergo no tempering, how can I grow?"

"This…" Jiang Daoran hesitated.

"I must ask the Saint Revered Master to make arrangements and have the Jiang Clan members in the Abyss of the Fallen Sun lock onto a few regions possessing opportunities awaiting my arrival."

Xie Wushang said.

"Alright!" Jiang Daoran asked with a hint of concern, "Would you like Grandpa to accompany you?"

"There's no need for that. Just have Commander Jiang Mo follow me." Xie Wushang said.

"Very well." Jiang Daoran nodded slightly.

He also wanted to go.

But he could not spare himself within the clan.

After all, the Evil Spirit within his other grandson, Jiang Yaoyang, was becoming increasingly ferocious and required him to suppress it.

Otherwise, a slight misstep might result in mortal danger.

"In that case, Commander Jiang, let us set off!" Xie Wushang stood up.

"Yes!" Jiang Mo nodded.

"Jiang Mo, you must protect the Young Lord's safety well." Jiang Daoran said.

"Yes!" Jiang Mo said.

Yet as the words fell, Jiang Daoran felt something was amiss.

Not long ago, his own grandson had directly crippled a half-step Saint King in the Jiuyang Secret Realm!

Going to the Abyss of the Fallen Sun, would Jiang Mo really be protecting the Young Lord?

"Oh well, perhaps I am overthinking things. Wushang wields a quasi-emperor artifact; presumably, he has certainty before going to the Abyss of the Fallen Sun."

He thought to himself.

Jiang Mo flicked his palm, summoning out a Void Realm array disc.

The jade disc's radiance flashed and soared into the sky, manifesting a spacetime passage connecting to the Fallen Sun Mountain Range in the western region of Central Continent.

"Young Lord, please!" Jiang Mo bowed in salute.

Xie Wushang took a large stride forward, stepping into the void-shuttling passage manifested in the air ahead.

Within the Jiang Clan, inside Wang Zhiyin's sleeping palace.

Wang Linglong came to report with a joyful expression, "Great-aunt, Xie Wushang has set off. He is preparing to go to the Abyss of the Fallen Sun…"

"The Abyss of the Fallen Sun…" Wang Zhiyin's gaze narrowed. "Good, very good. Immediately notify the Wang Clan."

"Yes!" Wang Linglong wore a joyful expression and said, "Not only that, our people in the Abyss of the Fallen Sun have also discovered Jiang Nianyang."

"Oh!" Wang Zhiyin's eyes lit up, carrying a hint of ferocity and fanaticism as she said, "Heaven truly helps me… Both of these two possess divine physiques. No matter which one is captured, it can help Yaoyang expel the Evil Spirit Qi and forge a Great Emperor Foundation."

"Great-aunt, that Jiang Wushang has some background heritage; we must prepare well." Wang Linglong's gaze narrowed as she spoke.

"Rest assured, the Wang Clan has already sent word this time and will go all out." Wang Zhiyin hooked the corner of her mouth into a cold smile and said.

"Oh, my Wang Clan is actually being this kind-hearted?" Wang Linglong wore a look of astonishment.

"The Jiang Clan has produced several Divine Sons in succession, showing signs of recreating its ancient glory. How could other Imperial Clans sit still?"

Wang Zhiyin sneered.

Wang Linglong suddenly understood, "In that case, we can save a lot of trouble."
