99: Chapter 99 Do you all dare to initiate the Immortal War?

Because there were remnants of the Dao Rhyme of the Great Emperor here, a single movement of the mind spreading across all directions allowed one to sense the dense Law of the Sun.

It was extremely suitable for comprehending the Dao here.

Precisely because of this, if not for the interference of the Cultivators of the Wang Clan just now, Jiang Nianyang would have already condensed the Law of the Sun.

When a thought stirred in his mind, the dense Dao Rhyme of the Sun nearby was drawn over, and Jiang Nianyang guided it into his body to condense it into the Law.

...

At this time, within a council hall of the Jiang Clan.

Jiang Daoran, Great Elder Jiang Yuyang, and six other Elders were seated in the main hall.

"Lord Saint, over ten Saints of the Wang Clan have been beheaded; I am afraid that clan will not let this matter rest easily." Jiang Xun bowed, his face filled with worry.

"Hmph, the Saints of the Wang Clan dared to ambush and kill the Divine Son of our clan. Do they think that the Great Emperor of our Jiang Clan has grown old and can no longer wield the heavenly emperor weapon?"

Great Elder Jiang Yuyang was furious, flames soaring behind him and turning into a raging sea of fire that swept outward.

He struck down with his palm, turning the nearby table into dust.

"A mere imperial clan actually dares to touch the Divine Son of our clan! Do they really think the heavenly emperor weapon is just for show?!" Jiang Daoran stood up in towering rage.

"Fellow Elders, what do you think should be done about this matter? Should we start an Immortal War?!"

His killing intent soared to the heavens.

Jiang Wushang, that was his grandson!

Jiang Nianyang, that was his great-grandson!

Dammit, the Wang Clan actually targeted his descendants for slaughter.

This was completely intolerable.

"This matter is indeed intolerable; we should send a message to have the Old Ancestor return," said the Second Elder.

"We should have Emperor Canghai come and preside over the overall situation," the Third Elder also nodded.

Currently, there was an Old Ancestor residing within the clan, but he had been in closed-door seclusion to heal his injuries year-round.

Emperor Xinghe guarded Outer Space, protecting the assets of the Jiang Clan out in the starry skies.

Old Ancestor Jiang Canghai had ventured outside to search for the immortal medicine that could extend Lifespan.

Only by finding him could he preside over the overall situation.

Jiang Daoran nodded slightly, "It is indeed time to have Emperor Canghai return!"

Yet as he spoke, there was a trace of sorrow in his heart.

Thirty thousand years had passed.

The Jiang Clan had only produced one Emperor Xinghe.

If Emperor Canghai and that secluded Great Emperor Liuyang were to pass away,

who else would there be to guard the Jiang Clan?

"The Wang Clan must have seen that our Jiang Clan is weak, which is why they want to behead the Divine Son of our clan and cut off our future path," said the Third Elder.

"Our Jiang Clan should also start an Immortal War. Otherwise, if the Divine Son of our clan suffers a calamity, it will be even harder to produce a Great Emperor in the future."

Jiang Yuyang nodded.

"If our Jiang Clan does not give a stance at this time, the various imperial clans will surely come to bully us in turns, and our Jiang Clan will be nibbled away little by little."

Several Elders spoke up.

In their eyes were worry and grief mixed with indignation; they could already foresee the future scene.

If things truly continued this way, the Jiang Clan would surely be annihilated.

They had no other choice left.

There was nowhere left to retreat!

Sometimes.

A single retreat...

Leads straight to an abyss.

"Strike out with one punch to avoid a hundred punches coming; let us of this generation fight out a prosperous age lasting ten thousand years!"

"We are old; it matters not if we bleed, but we cannot let the younger generation suffer!"

"We should start an Immortal War for our children and grandchildren, and fight for ten thousand years of peace!"

Several Elders nodded one after another, their gazes resolute as they revealed an expression of grim determination.

They were merely Saint Kings.

Before a Great Emperor, they were nothing more than ants.

Yet at this moment, they still did not fear. They unanimously agreed to summon the ancient emperor and start an Immortal War.

"Lord Saint... fellow Elders... starting an Immortal War is not urgent for now. Right now, we should send people to protect the Divine Son."

Jiang Xun said.

"Right now, Lord Divine Son is still in the Abyss of the Fallen Sun, and this general fears the Great Emperor of the Wang Clan might make a move..."

"If we hesitate even slightly, it will be too late for regrets!"

Anxiety filled his heart.

Starting an imperial war was a way for the Jiang Clan to display the heritage of a Celestial Emperor Family to the outside world.

But protecting the Divine Son right now was of the utmost importance.

Without the Divine Son, the Jiang Clan would have no future.

"Mhm!" Everyone nodded.

"In that case, Grand Elder, you go to the Forbidden Ground and use the imperial array to contact Emperor Canghai," Jiang Daoran said.

"Understood!" The Grand Elder nodded. He immediately stood up, bowed, and then his figure flashed, disappearing from the spot.

"Second Elder, you go to the Forbidden Ground and ask Great Emperor Liuyang whether his injuries have recovered and if he can still fight?"

Jiang Daoran looked at the Second Elder again and instructed.

"Understood!" The Second Elder also stood up and left.

"Third Elder, you go and recall the Saints of the clan who are outside."

"Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, you two gather the Saints of the clan to open the imperial array together and prepare to fend off enemies at any time."

Jiang Daoran spoke once more.

"Sixth Elder, you go respectfully invite the quasi-emperor out of seclusion, preparing to go to the Abyss of the Fallen Sun."

"Seventh Elder, you will accompany this seat to respectfully invite the emperor weapon, and go together to the Abyss of the Fallen Sun to escort the Divine Son of our clan back!"

Jiang Daoran issued several commands in succession.

"Understood!" Several Elders stood up one after another, bowed, and then left the main hall.

Seeing this, Jiang Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

With the Lord Saint making such arrangements, even if a Great Emperor of the Wang Clan awakened, their Jiang Clan would still be able to handle it.

In one breath, Jiang Daoran issued several orders.

The seven Grand Elders performed their respective duties and immediately went to execute the orders.

...

At this time, within a palace of the Wang Clan.

Wang Yichuan sat on the throne with a gloomy expression like water.

In the main hall below him, Wang Duan, a Saint of the Wang Clan, was bowing and reporting what had happened in the Abyss of the Fallen Sun.

"Old Ancestor, that Divine Son of Jiang is truly terrifying. In just a single day, he stepped from the eighth realm into the eleventh realm, successively slaying over a dozen Saints of our clan. I am afraid this kid has the bearing of a Great Emperor!" Wang Duan spoke with tears streaming down his face, his words full of dread.

He had witnessed with his own eyes the fall of the Saints of his clan in the Abyss of the Fallen Sun.

He had witnessed how terrifying Xie Wushang was.

"At such a young age, he is actually able to suppress Great Saints... This junior is indeed somewhat bizarre; I am afraid he is yet another Jiang Tianxing."

Wang Yichuan tapped his fingers on the armrest of the throne, sharp light flickering in his eyes as killing intent flashed.

"Wait for this seat to deduce and see what kind of special traits he actually possesses."

As he spoke, Wang Yichuan flipped his palm, and a precious mirror flew out from his palm.

Dao patterns bloomed on the mirror, and complicated Dao patterns were engraved on its frame.

With both hands guiding, he chanted incantations, formed a hand seal, and injected it into the mirror.

Immediately afterward, with a guide of his hand seal, the image of Xie Wushang manifested before him and was injected into the mirror.

"Using your form, observe past and present lives... Probe your future and reincarnation..."

Wang Yichuan whispered. The mirror rippled, evolving into a huge vortex like the surface of a lake, sucking the image of Xie Wushang into it. Soon after, the vortex disappeared, and the mirror surface revealed a hazy, gray region where human figures gradually manifested.

Wang Yichuan stared closely at the mirror surface.

He wanted to deduce the past of Xie Wushang to see what great fortune he possessed that allowed him to break through three major realms in a single day.

And even before thirty, he was able to suppress Great Saints.

You must know that Grand Commander Wang Zhaoyang possessed a quasi-emperor-grade forbidden weapon bestowed by him!

Below, Wang Duan looked at Wang Yichuan with a face full of anticipation.

He very much wanted to know what background Jiang Wushang actually had to be so terrifying to this extent.

However, the mirror rippled, and suddenly, black and white Qi stirred inside, as a terrifying power swept over furiously.

The black and white Qi seemed to turn into a black dragon and a white dragon, lunging toward Wang Yichuan.

"This is..." Wang Yichuan's heart grew stern. He immediately guided a hand seal, causing flames to soar before him and turn into two sharp swords that stabbed separately toward the two lunging giant dragons. At the same time, he slashed toward the center of his brows, and a vertical eye emerged there.
