178: Chapter 178: Familiar Breath, What is the Great Dao!

Shi Xingtian collapsed to the ground, his heart sinking to rock bottom. Who were these people in front of him? They were all either Dao Children or Young Emperors.

And him? He was just a Genius from a first-rate power in Lingzhou. Compared to these few people, he was nothing.

He could already foresee the end that awaited him. He had offended a Young Emperor, and in this vast world, there was no place for him to hide.

Beside him, Fairy Luo Hua, having regained her elegant demeanor, glanced at the surrounding Disciples and said faintly, "You may all leave."

"Yes."

After the Disciples had left, a hint of apology appeared on Fairy Luo Hua's face. "Young Master, I apologize. They failed to recognize the Young Emperor's true identity just now. If there was any offense, I hope you can forgive us."

Jiang Xuan waved his hand. "It's fine. The Emperor Sect Disciples were just following the rules."

In Jiang Xuan's opinion, this matter had nothing to do with the Emperor Sect Disciples. If anything, he was to blame for burning too quickly back then...

Fairy Luo Hua revealed a captivating smile and invited Jiang Xuan and the others, "Gentlemen, please. The grand event is about to begin. The other Prodigies have all arrived and are waiting for you."

After speaking, she invited Jiang Xuan and the others to the front of the white jade platform. Until they disappeared into the teleportation array, she didn't even glance at Shi Xingtian, as if he were transparent, like air, and she didn't care about him at all.

Shi Xingtian gave a self-deprecating smile. In front of Jiang Xuan, he truly didn't even have the qualifications to face him directly.

Feeling the mocking and disdainful gazes of those around him, Shi Xingtian tightened his hands, looking at the invitation card with its copper-wire trim, which felt incredibly glaring!

Recalling how he had proudly shown off the invitation just now, the humiliation in his heart could no longer be contained. He forcefully crumpled the invitation into a ball and left the place dejectedly.

From now on, he would become a Sect sinner, a laughingstock across the entire continent.

In the Yaochi Immortal River, colorful spiritual plants grew everywhere. Huge lotus Dao platforms were situated in the Void Realm of the Immortal River, adorned with various spiritual fruits and fine wines, each greatly beneficial to Cultivators.

The dense fog, formed from Spiritual Qi, enveloped the entire venue, making it resemble the Nine Heavens Immortal River, as if one had arrived in the Immortal Realm.

Man Dali was stunned by the sight before him, his heart eager to try. He said, "Boss, I think this Immortal River is quite beautiful. Should we make one when we go back? How grand that would be!"

Jiang Xuan nodded. It was indeed beautiful. He decided that in the future, he would thoroughly transform the Heavenly Realm, turning it into an existence like an Immortal Realm.

Not long after, Jiang Xuan and the others arrived at the largest lotus Dao platform in the center of the Immortal River. Above the Dao platform, more than a dozen figures were seated.

Seeing Fairy Luo Hua arrive, they all turned to look. When they saw Jiang Xuan behind her, the entire Dao platform space was instantly filled with various emotions: surprise, strong Battle Intent, and even hostility!

In the front row of seats, Li Tianming's eyes held a look of confusion. Strange, why did that Young Emperor have a familiar Aura and a faint pressure about him?

At the same time, Jiang Xuan also frowned, then looked towards Li Tianming. He asked Nangong Aotian and the others beside him, "Who is that handsome young man sitting in the main seat?"

Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Fairy Luo Hua also looked over, then explained, "That is Li Tianming of the Li Tian Emperor Clan, the current Clan Chief's son, and also the Li Tian Emperor Clan's number one Prodigy. He possesses the Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo, the second-ranked Physique among the Three Thousand Holy Bodies. He is one of the two Dao Children of Shenzhou."

After Fairy Luo Hua finished speaking, she felt a bit puzzled. Portraits of the various Dao Children, including Jiang Xuan himself, had long been circulated throughout the major states. How could this Young Emperor Jiang Xuan not even recognize the Prodigy ranked just below him?

She didn't know that Jiang Xuan had no interest in these so-called Dao Children at all and usually bothered to pay them no mind, unless their Holy Bodies reached Major Achievement, then Jiang Xuan might be interested.

After hearing what Fairy Luo Hua said, Jiang Xuan instantly understood. No wonder there was a sense of familiarity; it turned out to be someone from the Li Tian Emperor Clan. This person in front of him held a noble status in the Emperor Clan and should know his mother's whereabouts.

Just as he was about to go up and try to ask, a suddenly arrogant voice came, "You are Jiang Xuan!"

Jiang Xuan felt displeased. He looked in the direction of the voice, a flash of killing intent in his eyes. "This attire... an old acquaintance."

In another row of seats, two figures were seated, bare-chested, with large black greatswords on their backs that were particularly striking.

They were like the several Great Sages who had descended upon the Supreme Beginning Holy Land before, except these two had much higher cultivation. One of them had even reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Seeing the aggressive appearance of the other party, Fairy Luo Hua's willow brows furrowed. She knew that Jiang Xuan had an enmity with the Hei Ming Sword Sect, so she had specifically warned the other party before the conference not to cause trouble during the event. Looking at this, they hadn't taken her words to heart.

Thinking of this, she stepped forward, her tone becoming somewhat cold. "Dao Child Mo Yun, have you forgotten what you promised me? Don't forget, this is the Yaochi Emperor Sect."

Mo Yun smiled. "Fairy Luo Hua, don't misunderstand. This Dao Child just wanted to say a few words to the famous Young Emperor."

After speaking, he walked over to Jiang Xuan's side on his own, grinned, and said, "Young Emperor Jiang Xuan is now a celebrity on the continent. You should be careful. Our Old Ancestor is very concerned about the Young Emperor."

Jiang Xuan's expression was indifferent. He said coldly, "Don't worry, this Young Emperor will make a trip to the Sword Sect and let that old fellow Hei Ming wash his neck and wait."

Arrogant and domineering words came from Jiang Xuan's mouth. Then, without looking back, the few of them walked forward. When they passed Mo Yun, Man Dali glared at him fiercely, then put his hands behind his head and swaggered away.

This kind of trash, I can handle it. Provoking the Boss is simply courting death.

Seeing this, Mo Yun was immediately enraged. He didn't expect Jiang Xuan to be so direct, and a surge of killing intent instantly welled up in his heart. Daring to insult the Old Ancestor, Jiang Xuan, he would definitely make him pay!

He glanced at the figure beside his seat, his eyes showing apprehension. Then he sneered in his heart, "Hmph, Jiang Xuan, do you think you're invincible? There are plenty of people who can deal with you."

As Jiang Xuan and the others took their seats, the grand event officially began. Seven-colored lotuses drifted down from the sky, and the Emperor's Daughter, Fairy Luo Hua, flew up. Nine streams of light gathered around her from all directions of the Nine Heavens. The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth seemed to be drawn by these ten figures, transforming into a sky full of iridescent light.

"Those are the Saintesses of the Yaochi Emperor Sect's branch Sects in the Nine Great States!" Someone on the surrounding Yaochi Dao platforms exclaimed loudly, their eyes filled with admiration.

Around the Immortal River, every towering pavilion was packed with people. Everyone watched the largest lotus platform in the center with rapt attention.

When they saw the ten figures, like Nine Heavens Fairies, they let out wolf-like howls.

Fairy Luo Hua stood in the center of the Void Realm, a huge lotus bud behind her suddenly blossoming. In her left hand, she held the Yaochi treasure, the "World-Purifying Emperor Lotus," her gaze and demeanor as noble as an Emperor's daughter.

"Emperor Sect Grand Event, making friends through the Dao. Fellow Daoists, please."

"Clang..."

The entire Emperor City suddenly resounded with the sound of grand red bells. After nine chimes, Fairy Luo Hua's voice came again, like the immortal music of the Nine Heavens, directly entering everyone's hearts.

"What is the Great Dao!"
