145: Chapter 145: One person stirs up the situation in Kyushu!
In a city in Xuan Province, inside a tavern, geniuses who had rushed over from other provinces sat in twos and threes, drinking. Various discussions arose from different corners.
“I think the news that spread back then must have been false. What Young Emperor? It’s just the Cultivators of Xuan Province deceiving themselves, fabricating it,” someone loudly declared.
“Hmph! I think so too. After so long, not even a shadow of him has been seen. Those rumors now seem incredibly absurd! In a few days, This Young Master will return home. Only a fool would waste time here.”
In an instant, various voices of dissatisfaction rose within the tavern. Some Cultivators from Xuan Province heard these words, and their eyes were filled with mockery, “Tsk, a bunch of frogs in a well. How could they know the Young Emperor’s splendor? Just wait for the day their faces are slapped swollen.”
Just then, a Cultivator stumbled in, his expression exceptionally excited. He quickly grabbed a pot of wine from a nearby table and gulped down several mouthfuls, speaking incoherently, “The… the Young Emperor has appeared! The… the legends are true!”
“What! Where is he?” The crowd stood up one after another, asking urgently.
“In Xuan Province! All those rumors are true! Xuan Province Cultivators personally witnessed him use the Chaos Holy Body to destroy a Saint-Grade first-rate power!”
“Afterward, he even fought a battle with the Profound Plains Dao Child.”
Speaking of this, that person’s eyes were filled with shock, but he did not continue.
“What was the outcome of the battle? Hurry up and tell us!” The crowd immediately urged, “Damn it, you stop at the crucial part. Be careful your son won’t have an anus.”
“Bang!”
A Top-Grade Spirit Stone suddenly appeared on the table. A handsome young man smiled and asked, “What was the outcome?”
The Cultivator’s expression brightened. He quickly took the Spirit Stone in his hand and continued, “The outcome is that the Young Emperor, bare-handed, bare-handed, neutralized the Profound Plains Dao Child’s strongest attack!”
“Profound Plains Dao Child Ling Yu Fan marveled at the Young Emperor’s strength and chose to follow him!”
After he finished speaking, his heart was once again deeply shaken. Although he already knew, every time he spoke of it, it still felt unbelievable.
There was no sound around. Everyone was stunned by the news. It turned out that everything Xuan Province said was true! How ridiculous that they had just been doubting it.
Even a Dao Child was subdued. Compared to him, they were like heaven and earth.
The handsome young man next to him also had a look of admiration in his eyes. He truly wanted to meet such a person. Then, as if thinking of something, his expression became somewhat complex.
He secretly thought, “My aunt was once in Xuan Province too, right? I never imagined that so many Prodigies and Geniuses could be born there. One Xuan Province Dao Child, Desolate Heaven, wasn’t enough, and now there’s an even more terrifying Young Emperor. This momentum completely overshadows Divine Province!”
He truly lived up to the Golden Age. Although his Divine Province was the center of the continent, under the Great Age, it still had to be cautious. The Emperor Road of this generation might not necessarily be in his Divine Province anymore.
“Young Lord, since the news has been confirmed, should we return?” A subordinate stepped forward and asked, pulling the young man back from his thoughts.
The young man thought for a moment, then nodded, “Since that’s the case, we will return to Divine Province tomorrow.”
After speaking, a strong Battle Intent flashed in his eyes, “Young Emperor, I will wait for you on the Emperor Road!”
...At Yao Guang Holy Land, Yao Xin’s face was filled with complex emotions, with a hint of regret in her eyes. She never expected Jiang Xuan’s talent to be so terrifying, and he even awakened the Chaos Holy Body!
Such a Prodigy, when the Emperor Road opens in the future, will undoubtedly be the most hopeful candidate to become a Great Emperor. If she hadn’t hesitated so much back then, perhaps Yao Guang Holy Land would have gained a Great Emperor with unparalleled combat power as a backer, and her status in Yaochi Emperor Sect would have risen.
“Sigh.” Yao Xin sighed softly. Unfortunately, everything was too late. The current Jiang Xuan had grown to a point where she needed to look up to him.
Just then, in the Void Realm of the main hall, a spatial rift suddenly appeared, and a white-clothed woman walked out from it, her expression icy cold.
Yao Xin’s body trembled, and she quickly said respectfully, “Xuan Province branch, Yao Xin, greets the Emperor Sect envoy.”
The white-clothed woman handed an invitation through the air to the other party and said to Yao Xin, “Deliver this invitation to that Young Emperor. You must invite him no matter what, otherwise, you will be punished.”
Yao Xin smiled bitterly in her heart. It seemed the Emperor Sect also knew about this matter and was displeased with her decision.
Carefully taking the invitation, she bowed again, “Please rest assured, envoy. Yao Xin will handle this matter properly.”
The white-clothed woman gave her a cold glance, then stepped into the spatial rift and departed.
Yao Xin looked at the invitation in her hand, her mind filled with countless thoughts. After a long while, her voice echoed out of the hall, “Go, invite Saintess Meng Ling.”
...Supreme Beginning Holy Land
Saint Lord Peak
Wu Tian, Lin Wuyuan, and Yun Ya sat together, admiration in each of their eyes.
Wu Tian’s face was full of relief, and he laughed, scolding, “This brat, he secretly ran to Xuan Province and caused such a huge commotion. I’ll definitely teach him a good lesson when he comes back.”
Lin Wuyuan looked at Wu Tian’s uncontrollable smile and teased, “Alright, old man, you say that, but you’re probably overjoyed in your heart, aren’t you?”
Yun Ya also chimed in, “Exactly, your mouth is almost reaching the sky.”
Yun Ya was so envious in his heart. Why wasn’t he a Ninefold Mountain Disciple? Alas, it really benefited Supreme Beginning Holy Land.
For the past month, he had been running to the Holy Land every day, just to see Jiang Xuan earlier and bring him to Ninefold Mountain to receive the Legacy.
Now that he finally heard news of Jiang Xuan, it surprised him greatly, and he secretly marveled at the other party’s growth rate. If this continued, what would Ninefold Mountain have left to give Jiang Xuan? He wouldn’t even need it anymore.
As soon as he thought of this, he became anxious, “Wu Tian, has Jiang Xuan said when he will return?”
Wu Tian looked at his anxious appearance, feeling a little confused, and said warily, “I say, Yun Ya, you’re so eager for Jiang Xuan to go to your Ninefold Mountain. You’re not up to something bad, are you?”
Yun Ya’s heart skipped a beat. Was he that obvious? He forcefully suppressed his guilt and said righteously, “Look at you, getting anxious again, aren’t you? We’re on the same side now. What bad intentions could I have?”
Wu Tian looked suspicious. He always felt this old guy was planning something mischievous.
“Alright, alright.” Lin Wuyuan interrupted the two, saying, “Since news has already spread from Xuan Province, it means Jiang Xuan’s trip is nearing its end. I believe he will be back soon. We just need to wait patiently.”
A few days later, what Jiang Xuan did in Xuan Province intensified. Some praised his talent and strength, acknowledging his title as Young Emperor, while others were unconvinced.
Some Prodigies who considered themselves powerful declared that seeing was believing, and hearing was not. Unless they saw it with their own eyes, they absolutely would not believe they were inferior to Jiang Xuan.
Among the other Dao Children, some even accused Ling Yu Fan of not being worthy of the Dao Child title, disgracing their dignity as spokespersons of the Heavenly Dao.
For a time, various discussions and arguments spread to every corner. Of course, more and more Cultivators traveled to Xuan Province.
Among them were some of the continent’s top powers. With the Great Age descending, these major powers would stake their bets on a Prodigy. Now, it seemed Jiang Xuan was the best choice.
There were also some powerful forces relying on Legacy. They would not stake their bets on an outsider. Therefore, they would try to win Jiang Xuan over to their side, making a Heavenly Dao oath to pledge allegiance to the death.
If not, in this era of great contention, Jiang Xuan would be the biggest obstacle, and they would eliminate him at all costs!
At this moment, the entire continent changed dramatically because of Jiang Xuan alone!
