100: Chapter 100: The fame begins to show, Jiuyou clone
The Southern Barrens, which is the southern part of the entire Barren Continent, today saw an imperial decree issued from the Supreme Beginning Holy Land. Its voice resounded throughout the Southern Barrens.
"Today, our Supreme Beginning Holy Land establishes a Saint, named Jiang Xuan. We hope all great Sects are aware. Anyone who bullies the weak will be executed!"
"Three days from now, the Saint's enthronement ceremony will be held. At that time, Fellow Daoists of the Southern Barrens are welcome to visit the Holy Land and observe."
As soon as this imperial decree was issued, it instantly shook the entire Southern Barrens. It was incomparably overbearing, completely unlike the Supreme Beginning Holy Land of the past.
In the Great Li Dynasty, people cheered with joy, celebrating their god. The forces and citizens who originally belonged to the Eight Great Dynasties had no intention of resisting at this moment. Instead, they even felt a little secretly pleased. They now belonged to the Great Li Dynasty, and with such a powerful figure, their sense of security was full.
One imperial decree united the Eight Great Dynasties within the Great Li Dynasty, leaving no room for other thoughts.
Qinglin City was almost bursting at the seams. Helplessly, the new City Lord, with the approval of the Jiang Family, decided to expand it again.
On Ninefold Mountain, Yun Ya heard this imperial decree, and a mysterious light flashed in his eyes. Jiang Xuan should be arriving soon, heh heh.
Qiu Shang, who was beside him, clenched his fists, and Battle Intent surged. Jiang Xuan, next time, I will definitely not lose to you!
...Yao Guang Holy Land, another Holy Land in the Southern Barrens, only accepted female Disciples, each like a fairy descended from the heavens.
Unlike the Supreme Beginning Holy Land, which was gradually declining, it was filled with powerful Cultivators, and young Prodigies emerged one after another.
All of this was because Yao Guang Holy Land was merely a branch of an Emperor Clan, and its main Sect was a branch of the Yaochi Emperor Sect in the Barren Continent.
Inside the Holy Land's grand hall, a beautiful woman in palace attire listened to the imperial decree with interest. "The Supreme Beginning Holy Land finally has a Saint, huh? Haha, changing its usual low-key style, Lin Wuyuan, are you building momentum for him?"
"So high-profile, you must have a lot of confidence in your Saint."
The beautiful woman's Phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and her red lips parted. "Someone, prepare gifts. Three days from now, we will head to the Supreme Beginning Holy Land!"
...Floating Cloud Sword Sect, the Holy Land in the hearts of Sword Cultivators in the Southern Barrens. The entire Sect was filled with a chilling Sword Intent. An old man with black hair had sharp eyes, as if countless Sword Qi flowed within them.
"Tell Jian San to make a trip and see the Saint's level," the old man said to a young man with a sword on his back beside him.
"Yes!"
After the young man left, the old man muttered to himself, "Lin Wuyuan, I want to see what kind of person you are, for your Supreme Beginning Holy Land to create such a grand momentum."
In the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty, Xia Qitian paced back and forth outside the underground stone gate deep within the imperial palace, occasionally making clicking sounds with his tongue.
"I really didn't expect that little bastard Jiang Xuan to actually become a Saint. If this continues, when the Old Ancestor comes out of seclusion, will he still be able to deal with him?"
The thought of having to go and congratulate Jiang Xuan three days later made him feel as uncomfortable as if he had eaten excrement.
No matter what, the imperial decree of the Holy Land, his Great Xia Imperial Dynasty, as one of the four Imperial Dynasties under the Holy Land, must go.
For a time, the entire Southern Barrens was discussing this matter. The name Jiang Xuan appeared in their ears for the first time; they had never heard of it before.
There were laughs of mockery and sounds of doubt. In short, the outcome would be known in three days.
Cultivators gathered in groups of three to five, heading towards the Supreme Beginning Holy Land. After just one day, Tiandao Mountain was already bustling with people.
The crowd looked excited, waiting for the Supreme Beginning Holy Land to open its gates. Although they had secretly spread many bad rumors about the Holy Land's decline, it was, after all, a Holy Land, and they had never seen one before.
As the day of the ceremony approached, the number of people outside the mountain grew, dense and packed. Almost all the Cultivators from the Southern Barrens had arrived.
On Tianxuan Peak, Jiang Xuan was unaware of the outside situation. At this moment, it was a critical juncture for the Fusion of the Great Dao of Space-Time.
Golden and silver runes flowed around Jiang Xuan's body. The golden represented time, and the silver represented space. The combination of these two runic powers caused the surrounding space to emit 'cracking' sounds of tearing.
"Space-Time Compass, appear!" With a loud shout, a huge compass appeared behind and above Jiang Xuan. As the hands of the clock turned, the flow of time in the space where Jiang Xuan was located instantly accelerated!
Not long after, Jiang Xuan felt dizzy and nauseous. He quickly retracted the Great Dao of Space-Time and let out a long breath.
"It seems that with my current Cultivation and comprehension of the Great Dao of Space-Time, accelerating or stopping time for a few breaths is my limit."
However, Jiang Xuan was already very satisfied. In a battle between experts, a few breaths were enough to turn the tide of the battle.
He composed himself, then looked at the Three Purities Dao Derivation Method. Jiang Xuan had longed for this Clone method for a long time.
The Three Purities Dao Derivation Method, three parts unified, Dao derivation infinite. It splits a Clone spirit body from the main body's Divine Sense. The three Clones Cultivate simultaneously, and finally merge the power of the three veins, Breaking through the existing singularity, and becoming equal with the Heavenly Dao!
Jiang Xuan suppressed the excitement in his heart. The chaos stone tablet within him circulated, putting his mind into an ethereal state. Splitting his Divine Sense required no mistakes.
After a long time, Jiang Xuan no longer had any distracting thoughts. With a thought, a sharp sword appeared in his Divine Sense space. "Crack!" With one sword, he split his Divine Sense in two.
Immediately, intense pain came from Jiang Xuan's head. His teeth made a grinding sound, and bloodshot eyes filled his entire eyeballs.
He desperately circulated the Three Purities Dao Derivation Method. Beside him, a phantom slowly emerged. As the Dao method continuously circulated, the phantom slowly began to solidify.
After an unknown period, Jiang Xuan slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his throbbing temples.
Once he had recovered sufficiently, he looked at the Clone beside him and found that it was also looking at him. The Clone smiled and said, "You're awake."
Jiang Xuan felt a little strange, as if he had said that himself, talking to himself.
He suddenly rolled his eyes and said to the Clone, "Call me Daddy."
The Clone gave him a roll of its eyes. "Get lost."
Jiang Xuan's expression was playful; it was quite interesting. Then, he took out the nine nether demon heart and gave it to the Clone.
"Integrate it as soon as possible. Afterwards, I'll send you to the Demon Realm as an undercover agent."
The Clone nodded. "Then from now on, I'll be called Nine Nether."
Jiang Xuan nodded in appreciation. As expected of me, my naming is domineering.
Afterwards, the Clone entered the Heavenly Realm to integrate the demon heart. Jiang Xuan stretched, walked out of Tianxuan Peak. Three days had passed, and he only had one task left to complete: annihilating the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty.
Once he destroyed the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty, he would receive 100,000 limit points, and he would not be far from a Breakthrough.
He looked at the floating mountain in the distance, his eyes filled with Killing Intent. He thought, Nine Li and the other two must have already started their operation.
At this moment, Wu Tian flew over from a distance and smiled at Jiang Xuan, saying, "Disciple."
Jiang Xuan cupped his hands in greeting. "Revered Master."
"Haha, as soon as you emerged from the Sect, I sensed your aura, so I immediately came to find you."
Jiang Xuan asked, puzzled, "Revered Master, is something wrong?"
"Haha, did you forget what the Holy Lord told you before you went into seclusion?"
Jiang Xuan lowered his head in thought. "Is it about announcing to the world that I've become a Saint?"
Wu Tian nodded. "Not only that, but a succession ceremony has also been prepared for you, which will be held tomorrow."
Jiang Xuan felt a strange sensation in his heart. A succession ceremony, it's as if I'm about to ascend the throne.
Wu Tian continued, "At that time, the other three major forces and the various great Sects of the Southern Barrens will all come here. This is the momentum the Holy Land is creating for you, Disciple. You must seize this opportunity."
Jiang Xuan's eyes narrowed. He knew, without even thinking, that it would definitely not be so peaceful then.
"Don't worry, Revered Master, when have I ever disappointed you?"
After speaking, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes. Haha, it's best if no rotten fish or shrimp come to waste my time.
