149: Chapter 149: Obtained the imperial weapon again, ready to unify!
Jiang Xuan's face showed some surprise, "How could Ancestral Master Shijue know my name? Could it be that millions of years ago, he already knew I was coming?"
With a question in his mind, Jiang Xuan opened the scroll and continued to read. The scroll stated, "You don't need to be surprised; this scroll and the other two items are all for you."
You must already know about the Demon Race's invasion of the continent. We swore to resist to the death and drove the Demon Race to the Sea of Emptiness. The Heavenly Dao, sensing this, set up a Restriction in the Three Realms, isolating the Demon Race outside.
That battle consumed too much of our Human Race's foundation and Luck. Less than one in ten Great Emperors survived. Just as the Human Race was recuperating, a Dragon Clan Senior in the Universe's Void Realm told us that the previous Demon Race was merely a vanguard for an invasion of our continent by forces from outside this domain. One day, the main force of the Demon Race would step into this world!
At that time, even Great Emperor powerhouses would be nothing more than cannon fodder. We asked that Senior if there was a way to break this situation. He told us that the solution to this calamity lay not in the present, but in the future.
Having obtained the method to break the situation, I and the other two Holy Land founders used our Great Emperor Luck and lifespans as a medium to activate the Great Destiny Art! We sought the person who would break the situation from the future.
In a corner of the future, we saw you.
All things in the world have Karma, and the one who would break the situation happened to be the Saint of my Supreme Beginning Holy Land.
Subsequently, worried about what the Dragon Clan Senior said, that even Great Emperors would be cannon fodder, we poured everything we had into creating the Heavenly Emperor Dao Law! If Great Emperors weren't enough, then we would surpass Great Emperors!
Unfortunately, before we could verify it, the Dao injuries from the Great Destiny Art erupted, and our lifespans finally reached their end.
These are what we left for you, hoping they will be of some help.
After finishing the contents of the scroll, Jiang Xuan's heart instantly understood.
"So that's how it is. I wondered how Ancestral Master Shijue knew of my existence. So it was like this."
This Great Destiny Art is truly terrifying, to be able to see a certain scene in the future so clearly. But the price... Jiang Xuan shook his head, a trace of admiration for the Old Ancestors rising in his heart. To willingly sacrifice their powerful Cultivation and lifespans to find a way out for the common people of this continent, perhaps this is what righteousness is.
Jiang Xuan asked himself if it were him, he might not be able to act as magnanimously as the Old Ancestors.
In Jiang Xuan's heart, there were only his family, the Holy Land, and his friends; what happened to others was none of his concern.
When that day truly arrived and the Demon Race attacked from outside the domain, he would slaughter the enemies clean, not for the common people, but for the warmth deep within his own heart.
Recalling his thoughts, Jiang Xuan put away the scroll and looked at the box in the middle. As soon as he opened a crack, three different kinds of Emperor might emanated from it.
Jiang Xuan was startled and opened the box completely. He saw three Dao Fruits of different colors emitting a faint glow, with Emperor Dao aura continuously flowing from their surfaces.
"Snap!"
With a soft sound, Jiang Xuan hastily closed the box, his expression astonished, "These are the Great Emperor Dao Fruits of the three Great Emperor Old Ancestors!"
Judging by their aura, they were far more powerful than the Yao Emperor Dao Fruit Jiang Xuan had obtained from the Dragon Clan.
These were three Dao Fruits of Great Emperor Perfection! They contained the life's achievements of the three Ancestral Masters.
Jiang Xuan's expression was complex. This gift was undoubtedly precious. With them, a Quasi-Emperor powerhouse could instantly step into the ranks of Great Emperors.
If news of such treasures were to spread, even with Jiang Xuan's high talent, he would face endless pursuit!
Putting away the Emperor Pills, Jiang Xuan thought for a moment. Only his Human Dao Clone, Desolate Heaven, was suitable. He wondered what Realm he would reach after Fusion.
Then he looked up at the last box, his eyes filled with strong anticipation. Jiang Xuan reached out and slowly opened it.
"Hmm? What is this?"
Jiang Xuan was a little surprised. The last box contained neither a treasure nor a Great Emperor Cultivation Technique, but a bronze key.
Holding the key in his hand, a cool sensation spread to his palm. Jiang Xuan examined it carefully but found nothing special.
He frowned, and a powerful Divine Sense surged into the key, then he furrowed his brows slightly. There was nothing there.
Seeing that he couldn't make anything of it, Jiang Xuan simply put the key away, "Never mind. I'll keep it for now. Since the Old Ancestor left the key until now, there must be a reason for it."
Seeing Jiang Xuan put away all the boxes, the white-haired elder spoke, "Since you have passed the thirtieth floor, my mission is complete, and the Extreme Dao Tower has welcomed its new owner."
As his voice fell, the white-haired elder's body instantly emitted intense light, and the entire tower began to tremble. A powerful Emperor might permeated the entire Supreme Beginning Holy Land.
"Young friend, this is the last gift the master left for you. The Extreme Dao Tower is infinitely close to an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon. Let it follow you from now on."
After speaking, the white-haired elder instantly transformed into countless light clusters, scattered throughout the Extreme Dao Tower, leaving only a white orb of light suspended in the Void Realm. He was originally the artifact spirit, and with his Fusion with the tower body, the Extreme Dao Tower would be complete.
Jiang Xuan felt the boundless Emperor might within the tower and cupped his fists towards the Void Realm, "Thank you, Senior! This Junior will not fail the name of Extreme Dao!"
After speaking, Jiang Xuan absorbed the orb of light into his glabella, and his Divine Sense instantly established a connection with the Extreme Dao Tower.
With a flicker of thought, Jiang Xuan's figure appeared outside the tower, holding the now miniaturized Extreme Dao Tower in his hand.
For a moment, his entire being looked exceptionally divine, like a deity holding a treasure tower.
The Disciples looked at Jiang Xuan, their admiration reaching its peak.
"Jiang Xuan, you passed the last floor?" Lin Wuyuan stepped forward, a hint of excitement in his eyes. As the Holy Lord of the Holy Land, he clearly knew the origin of the Extreme Dao Tower.
The last time the three major forces attacked Supreme Beginning, if they had the powerful Emperor Weapon, the Extreme Dao Tower, how could Jian Changsheng and the others have been so arrogant?
Unfortunately, it hadn't received their recognition, so it couldn't be used against enemies.
Hearing the other party's words, Jiang Xuan smiled and nodded.
"Good, good, good," Lin Wuyuan said excitedly, "With this, our Holy Land has another powerful Emperor Weapon."
At this moment, Yun Ya came closer, his expression somewhat impatient, "Jiang Xuan, ah, when do you think we can go to Ninefold Mountain? Those rascals have been waiting for a long time; they all want to meet the famous Young Emperor."
Jiang Xuan pondered slightly, a flash of killing intent in his eyes, then he spoke, "Senior Yun Ya, we still have unfinished business. The matter of the three major forces has not yet been resolved."
Before entering the Monster Realm, he had instructed the people of the Seven Star Hall of the Heavenly Realm to keep a close eye on the three major forces, not allowing anyone to leave their respective factions.
Some things, once chosen to be done, must come with a price!
Yun Ya nodded upon hearing this, his expression turning cold. The three major forces had become mortal enemies with Ninefold Mountain. If they weren't eliminated, who knew what trouble they might cause in the future.
Moreover... Yun Ya glanced at Jiang Xuan, his expression unreadable. With the arrival of the Golden Great Era, their Ninefold Mountain would certainly place all its bets on Jiang Xuan. They would prosper together or suffer together.
The Barren Continent where they were located was too complex in terms of forces; it was time to unify it so that their base camp could be forged into an impenetrable fortress.
Before, there was no one to lead, but now with Jiang Xuan, everything was not a problem. With his strength, who in the entire Barren Continent could stop him?
Thinking of this, he shared his idea with the others. Lin Wuyuan and the others' eyes flashed with brilliance, and they all expressed their agreement.
Seeing this, Jiang Xuan's mouth curved into a smile, his eyes revealing sharp intent, "Since that's the case, let's start with the three major forces and unify the Barren Continent!"
