154: Chapter 154: One move shocked the world!

Not getting the result he wanted, Jiang Xuan withdrew his Divine Sense, and the moment the Great Dao of Space-Time disappeared, Li Tianyang and the other man regained their freedom.

Their brows furrowed slightly; they felt as if they had forgotten something, but couldn't recall what it was.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan said to them, "I know why you've come. This Young Master can tell you directly: I have no intention of joining any force. You should return whence you came."

"This… Young Emperor…" Li Tianyang and the other man grew anxious and were about to speak.

Jiang Xuan gave him a cold look, his tone indifferent, "What? Was what I said not clear enough?"

The two were startled, and simultaneously said, "Yes, then we shall not disturb you. Farewell."

Outside the Supreme Beginning Holy Land's mountain gate, Li Tianyang let out a long breath. For some reason, he always felt a thrill of fear in front of Jiang Xuan, who seemed to harbor great hostility towards him.

After leaving Tiandao Mountain, Xuan Yuan Changqing said with lingering fear, "I only heard about it before and thought there was some exaggeration, but now it seems this Jiang Xuan is even more terrifying than the rumors suggest. He is definitely a dangerous individual."

Li Tianyang nodded in agreement. He truly didn't know how such a figure could be born in the small Barren Province. Not only was his strength formidable, but his Heart-Nature was nothing like that of a twenty-year-old; he was more like an old monster who had cultivated for many years.

The two sighed inwardly. Regardless, their mission was finally complete, and they could now return to report. They were only responsible for inquiring about Jiang Xuan's intentions; as for the clan's decision, that was not something they could worry about. The two only hoped that they would not become enemies with Jiang Xuan in the future.

In the main hall of the Gu Imperial Clan in Divine Province, roars of anger echoed. The servants outside trembled in fear, worried about being caught in the crossfire.

"Bang!"

Gu Zhongtian, the Gu Clan Chief, shattered a nearby chair with a single palm strike, stood up, and roared, "What a Barren Province Young Emperor! What a Chaos Holy Body!"

"Does he truly believe that with a bit of talent, he can disregard my Imperial Clan? To so brazenly kill my Imperial Clan's envoy, he must have eaten the guts of a bear and a leopard!"

Gu Zhongtian's expression was furious. For how many years had no one dared to be so presumptuous towards the Imperial Clan? His expression hardened, and killing intent gleamed in his eyes. If he cannot be used by my Gu Clan, then let him completely disappear from this world! A dead Genius is nothing!

"Elders, who among you is willing to make a trip and bring back the corpse of that Jiang Xuan child?" Gu Zhongtian asked, looking at the six powerful figures seated on either side.

A gloomy-faced old man in a black robe slowly rose, his back hunched. A faint Emperor's might permeated his surroundings. "Clan Chief, let this old man make the trip. The Chaos Holy Body's corpse still holds great research value."

Gu Zhongtian looked at the old man and nodded. The Fifth Elder, Gu Zhaoming, was a genuine Quasi-Emperor, more than enough to kill Jiang Xuan.

"Then I shall trouble the Fifth Elder. Without further ado, you shall depart immediately for Barren Province and eradicate Jiang Xuan and all those associated with him! Hmph, to dare oppose my Gu Imperial Clan, I will make him regret ever coming into this world!"

"Yes, this old man shall depart now."

A sinister and terrifying smile appeared on Gu Zhaoming's gloomy face. "A Chaos Holy Body, ah. This old man loves killing Geniuses the most. You will be this old man's most perfect specimen."

...At Tianxuan Peak of the Holy Land, Jiang Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground. A powerful Saint King's pressure gradually emanated from him.

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Xuan's eyes snapped open, a sharp glint flashing within them. A joyful smile appeared on his lips. "Excellent, I have finally stepped into the Limit Realm Saint King. Below the Great Emperor, I am unrivaled."

Now, even against a Quasi-Emperor, with the blessing of Limit Realm Power, combined with his Holy Body and Progenitor Dragon Bloodline, Jiang Xuan was completely fearless!

With Barren Province now unified and no threats remaining, it was time to complete the mission issued by the System.

He called Man Dali and the other man aside and said to Ling Yu Fan, "Yu Fan, you are the Profound Plains Dao Child, a spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao. For now, you don't need to stay by my side. The Golden Great Era has arrived, and the Dao Children of other Great Provinces are constantly vying for Opportunities to improve their strength, preparing for the opening of the Emperor Road."

"You, too, should walk your own path. Only then can you help me on the Emperor Road in the future."

Ling Yu Fan nodded. Although he felt reluctant, Jiang Xuan was right. The gap between him and Jiang Xuan was too vast. As his follower, he couldn't afford to disgrace Jiang Xuan in the future.

Ling Yu Fan respectfully bowed to Jiang Xuan, his eyes filled with determination. "Yes! My Lord, this subordinate will definitely strive to improve his strength and clear obstacles for My Lord one day."

Jiang Xuan solemnly patted his shoulder. "Still the same words: always prioritize your own life."

Ling Yu Fan clasped his hands. "I will not fail My Lord's high expectations!"

Jiang Xuan then turned his gaze to Man Dali. "Dali, tomorrow we will set off for Man Village."

Man Dali gave an honest smile, his eyes filled with joy. "Yes, Boss. It's been a long time since I've been back, and I really miss the village."

Jiang Xuan smiled and nodded. The Man Village where Dali lived was in the most remote Sand Province of the Nine Provinces, where the environment was extremely harsh, with yellow sand everywhere. Because Cultivators in Sand Province lived in extreme environments year-round, often facing life-and-death trials, their strength was relatively stronger.

Coincidentally, the clue for the Metal element in the five elements emperor bone, rewarded by the System, was precisely in Sand Continent.

The next day, Jiang Xuan and Man Dali appeared outside Tiandao Mountain. This time, he did not allow the Holy Land to conceal his whereabouts; instead, he deliberately had people spread the news that he was going to Sand Continent.

Jiang Xuan had just killed an envoy of the Gu Clan, and the Imperial Clan certainly wouldn't let him off so easily. As soon as the news of his trip to Sand Continent spread, those who wanted to deal with him would surely go there or choose to ambush him along the way.

To be safe, he secretly sent Long Yin to the Supreme Beginning Holy Land using cross-realm teleportation. With a Demon Emperor there, he felt much more at ease.

At worst, he could teleport back across realms and bring everyone into the Heavenly Realm. In short, everything was foolproof.

Before leaving, Jiang Xuan gave Wu Tian a Saint Dao Fruit he had obtained in the Ancient Secret Realm and injected a trace of his Limit Realm Power into Wu Tian's body. With these two, Wu Tian would surely Breakthrough to Supreme Saint.

Jiang Xuan had secretly vowed back then that he would one day enable his Revered Master to also embark on the path of the Supreme Dao.

His own Limit Realm Power was even stronger than the Supreme Dao of this continent, so this matter posed no difficulty for him.

Having arranged everything, Jiang Xuan and Man Dali embarked on their journey to Sand Continent.

Meanwhile, throughout the Nine Provinces, Jiang Xuan's every move was one of the most closely watched matters. Upon learning that he was going to Sand Continent, countless Prodigies set off, heading to Sand Continent to witness the demeanor of the Nine Provinces' number one Prodigy. Of course, there were also those who, unwilling to accept his fame, went to challenge him, hoping to make a name for themselves by stepping on Jiang Xuan.

Because of Jiang Xuan's imminent arrival, Sand Continent, which was originally sparsely populated and half of which was covered in vast yellow sand, suddenly began to bustle with activity.

Large numbers of Prodigies poured into the cities, and every inn was fully booked. Inn owners, watching the continuous flow of Spirit Stones into their pockets, beamed with joy.

On the other side, Gu Zhaoming, who was originally heading to Barren Province, received news of Jiang Xuan and sneered inwardly, "Hehehe, fine then. I'll go to Sand Continent to deal with you first, and then make a trip to Barren Province to send everyone connected to you into Reincarnation!"
