Section 48

"Oh, stop arguing! If you ask me, when it comes to mystery, nothing beats First Longevity!"

First Longevity! The First Sequence of the Su Family, mysterious and unfathomable, seen by none. Some say he is the Clan Chief's illegitimate son, while others say he is Cultivating in an outer-Realm Holy Land.

The youth who had been acting familiar with everyone listened to their discussion, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"First hypothesis: They have guessed my identity..."

Three days passed in a flash.

With the opening of the Inheritance Grotto Heaven imminent.

All the qualified Families and Sects of the Divine Xia Empire rushed to Qingfeng Mountain.

In an instant, the originally desolate Qingfeng Mountain became extremely lively.

This solitary mountain, devoid of vegetation but filled with strange peaks, had a phantom image of an Immortal Cave flickering in mid-air, while a barrier enveloped the surroundings of Qingfeng Mountain, preventing anyone with a bone age over twenty from entering.

Many young talents gathered on Qingfeng Mountain, waiting for the Inheritance Grotto Heaven to open.

Princess Ji Ruoyun stood on high ground, looking down at the crowd of Prodigies, a slight smile on her stunningly beautiful face.

"Jinling Li Family, Li Ke, bone age nineteen, Nine Apertures First Layer!"

"Daocheng Liu Family, Liu Yinhua, bone age eighteen, Nine Apertures Fourth Layer!"

"Yunshan Sect, Ma Chenglong, bone age twenty, Nine Apertures Third Layer!"

She extended her fair fingers, and wherever she pointed, there were spirited youths, each with an indescribable arrogance between their brows.

They were clearly the Prodigy Disciples from various Sects and Families.

This event was not just about the opening of the Inheritance Grotto Heaven; it also involved the battle for the bestowed title.

The Divine Xia royal Family naturally could not place all their bets on others; they had their own trump cards.

Beside Princess Ji Ruoyun stood a youth with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in yellow robes, his expression indifferent.

"Not bad, but... ultimately not enough to look at." He said with an arrogant tone.

Princess Ji Ruoyun heard this and looked at him: "Xiaofeng, remember, your background is not as good as the Crown Prince, your Family influence is not as good as the Second Prince, and your financial resources do not match the Fifth."

"The Heavenly Han has come with ill intent, but..."

"This is also your only chance, you must not be reckless!"

"Especially towards those Families with a Celestial Star Expert in command, you must not be slighting... especially the Su Family, you should be extremely respectful, extremely."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince Ji Ruofeng nodded seriously.

He and Princess Ji Ruoyun were siblings by blood, and in the cold-blooded royal Family, they were each other's only reliance.

"Sister... is the Su Family truly this mysterious? A Family that has just risen for less than a year... just because of Liu Chengfeng's attitude..."

"Before you speak, use your brain..." Princess Ji Ruoyun interrupted him, speaking in a solemn tone.

"Liu Chengfeng has been to the outer Realms, witnessed the battle of the Wan Dao Academy, and has even stepped into the Holy Land. He once spoke while drunk that the Holy Land's Luck is like rain, while the Divine Summer's wild sparrows swallow dragons..."

"But only regarding this Su Family... even if I got him dead drunk, once the two words 'Su Family' were mentioned, he would immediately fall silent..."

"Do you know what this represents?" Princess Ji Ruoyun asked.

As a member of the royal Family, the Fourth Prince Ji Ruofeng was not a fool.

He naturally understood his sister's meaning.

However, the implication in her words made him somewhat disbelieving.

His eyes trembled slightly, and his palms clenched involuntarily.

It represents... the Su Family is far superior to the Holy Land??? But how is this possible...

"The Tian Han Empire... has arrived!!"

Rumble!!

Just as Princess Ji Ruoyun was thinking, bursts of roaring sounds interrupted her thoughts.

The ground of Qingfeng Mountain began to tremble continuously, as if some behemoth was approaching.

Everyone's gaze involuntarily turned toward the source of the tremor.

Then, everyone's pupils constricted sharply, and even Princess Ji Ruoyun and the Fourth Prince Ji Ruofeng gasped!

A giant horse, pitch-black all over and covered in scales, appeared before everyone. Black Qi continuously emanated from its body, causing some weaker mounts to wail in fear.

"A King Beast!!"

"A Half-Blood King Beast!!!"

"Which faction actually possesses a Half-Blood King Beast!!"

Everyone was shocked. A so-called King Beast is a beast whose species has once produced an existence in the Covering Sun Realm,

thus the entire species' Bloodline ascended, and beasts possessing King Blood are called King Beasts,

and a Half-Blood King Beast has half its Bloodline as King Blood; such an existence is not only magnificent but also possesses unparalleled combat power!!

To think the Tian Han Empire actually possessed such a foundation!!

Chapter 58: Arrogant Tian Han! Where is the Su Family!!!

Standing atop the King Beast were three youths. The one in the lead wore white, with a gentle smile on his face and a warm tone.

"Prodigies of the Divine Xia Empire."

"I am Liu Mowen, Fourth Prince of the Tian Han Empire. The two behind me are my Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother. It is a pleasure to enter the Inheritance Grotto Heaven with all of you; this is truly fate..."

His appearance was ordinary, and his tone was warm, but he stood upon the head of the King Beast, looking down at the Prodigies from a high vantage point.

While he spoke of it being a pleasure, deep in his eyes, he hid a trace of disdain.

The two behind him didn't even bother to hide theirs.

The Fifth brother crouched down and let out a huge yawn: "Hehe... Fourth Brother, you aren't mistaken, right... can these things even be called Prodigies??"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people from the Divine Xia Empire changed drastically. Everyone who could come here was a heaven-favored child of their respective clans and Sects; how could they tolerate such mockery!!

They all knew more or less the purpose of the Tian Han Empire's arrival, so they certainly wouldn't have pleasant expressions.

"Arrogant!!"

"The Tian Han Empire is truly this arrogant, not taking us seriously at all!!"

"Just because you brought a King Beast, you think you're so remarkable!!"

"You keep talking about a battle for the bestowed title, but maybe it's just an excuse to come to our Divine Summer Inheritance Grotto Heaven to freeload!!"

Listening to the criticism from the crowd, the smile on Liu Mowen's face grew even wider.

The King Beast beneath him seemed to have received some kind of order.

It let out an earth-shattering roar, and pitch-black Demonic Qi continuously overflowed, shattering even the drifting clouds in the sky.

At the same time, three extremely terrifying auras erupted one after another.

Hum!!

The tyrannical power seemed almost tangible, turning into ripples in the Void Realm and spreading out.

In an instant.

All the Prodigies of the Divine Xia fell silent.

An indescribable sense of suffocation emerged in their hearts; it was a total suppression in terms of Realm, an extreme crushing in terms of power.

It was thick True Qi that seemed almost tangible, nearly condensing into True Essence...

This meant that the Realm of these three youths before them had reached...

Half-Step External Scene!!!

Three Half-Step External Scene Prodigy youths!!

At this moment, all the Prodigies of the Divine Xia Empire felt their throats go dry.

No one had expected that the Tian Han Empire would have such Prodigies.

The strongest among them was at the Nine Apertures Great Perfection Realm, only a hair's breadth away from the Half-Step External Scene, but this tiny difference was as vast as the difference between clouds and mud!!

At this time, even the Fourth Prince Ji Ruofeng's expression turned gloomy.

His Realm was already at the Nine Apertures Sixth Layer; at this age, he did have the capital to be proud and crush the crowd of Divine Xia Prodigies, but in front of these three, he appeared so weak.

Princess Ji Ruoyun was even more shocked, her beautiful face drained of color. She had anticipated that the Tian Han would send extremely powerful Prodigies, but she had never imagined the gap between the two sides would be so immense.

"In this situation, we can only pin our hopes on the Su Family..." Princess Ji Ruoyun sighed inwardly.

Watching the Divine Xia Prodigies, one by one, rendered speechless by their intimidation.

The smile on Liu Mowen's face became even brighter.

"Before coming, my father told me to be careful of the Su Family... although I don't know which of you comes from that so-called Su Family... but forgive me for being blunt... everyone present here is garba..."

His tone was extremely mocking, looking down at the crowd, as if he were searching for something.
