51: Chapter 51 Amazing rewards, prepare for a breakthrough!
At the white entrance, a figure gradually emerged. Everyone turned to look, and it was none other than Jiang Xuan.
Yang Lin and the others were the first to step forward, their aged faces filled with worry, "Jiang Xuan, are you alright?"
Jiang Xuan smiled, "I'm fine." After speaking, he gave Yang Lin a look.
Yang Lin immediately understood that something must have happened to Jiang Xuan inside, but it couldn't be revealed to outsiders.
King Chu also walked over at this time, his tone concerned, "Jiang Xuan, it's good that you're alright. If anything had happened to you, it would have been a great loss for our Great Li Dynasty."
Jiang Xuan said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, King Chu." Afterwards, he secretly sent a message to King Chu.
Upon hearing it, King Chu's expression immediately changed drastically, but he quickly suppressed it. There were too many people here, and it was not the place to talk.
So, he ordered a return to the Royal Palace, and everyone dispersed.
Inside the palace, King Chu and Jiang Xuan were alone. King Chu looked at Jiang Xuan, his expression solemn. "You're saying that a Demon Race passage is sealed beneath the Dragon Transformation Pool?"
Jiang Xuan nodded, "That's right, it's absolutely true. But there's no need to worry too much; nothing should happen in the short term."
Jiang Xuan did not mention that he had re-sealed the ancient Restriction. It was too unbelievable, and even if he did, King Chu might not believe him.
After hearing Jiang Xuan's words, King Chu breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, he did not relax his vigilance.
"This matter is of great importance. Relying solely on soldiers to guard it is not entirely safe. This King will immediately dispatch five offerings to watch over it. No one is allowed to approach."
"By the way, besides you, who else knows about this?"
Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment and replied, "Also Director Yang Lin."
Yang Lin was one of his own, and had always treated him well. Such a big matter should be told to him. Moreover, the Jiang Family was in Donglin Prefecture, and if anything happened, Yang Lin could look after them.
King Chu nodded. He knew the relationship between Jiang Xuan and Yang Lin, and he was also aware of Yang Lin's character; he was an old man who was wholeheartedly devoted to the Great Li Dynasty. Therefore, he was not worried.
"Good. Besides the three of us, don't tell anyone else. I will immediately notify the Holy Land and see how they arrange it."
Jiang Xuan was slightly surprised in his heart, "The Holy Land?" Yes, for such a big matter, it must be reported promptly.
Coming back to his senses, Jiang Xuan asked King Chu curiously, "Junior doesn't know enough about the Demon Race. Could you tell me about them?"
He had only read about the Demon Race in books in Donglin Prefecture, but those only gave a general overview.
King Chu, as a King of a region, surely knew more.
Hearing Jiang Xuan's request, King Chu did not refuse and told him about the Demon Race.
The entire Zhou Tian Continent has three major races: the Human Race, the Yao Race, and the Demon Race. The Human Race is mainly distributed in the Nine Provinces of the continent, the Yao Race is in the Monster Realm, and the Demon Race lives in the Demon Realm.
It is worth mentioning that the Human Race and the Yao Race existed from the very beginning of the Zhou Tian Continent. Although the two races often had friction, it was all fair competition.
There are Human Race Cultivators in the Monster Realm, and similarly, there are Yao Beasts in the Nine Provinces. Just like the Thundercloud Mountains, whether one lives or dies depends entirely on one's own ability.
Just like the demon hunting squads, the Yao Race also has similar squads that hunt the Human Race. But these are all allowed by the high-ranking officials of both races, in order to improve their respective strengths.
The Demon Race is different; they are outsiders and do not belong to the Zhou Tian Continent.
One hundred thousand years ago, the Demon Race came from beyond the heavens. Each of them possessed powerful Qi. Wherever they passed, corpses lay scattered and bones piled high, like a living hell on earth. Both the Human Race and the Yao Race were reduced to blood sacrifices.
For a time, the two major races faced the danger of extinction. In the end, it was the two races who joined forces, exhausting their foundations, to drive the Demon Race to the Sea of Emptiness, which is now the Demon Realm.
Perhaps the prolonged war severely damaged the Zhou Tian Continent, and the Heavenly Dao, sensing this, isolated the Demon Race in the Sea of Emptiness, forming a barrier.
After years of cleansing, there are not many Demon Race left in the Nine Provinces. The remaining ones are just minor characters, specifically left for the younger generation to gain experience.
After listening to King Chu's explanation, Jiang Xuan fully understood, "So the Demon Race are outsiders. Could it be that there are other worlds beyond Zhou Tian?"
"It seems these Demon Race are still harboring ill intentions, trying to open the door to the Nine Provinces." A sense of urgency immediately arose in Jiang Xuan's heart.
He must seize the time to improve his strength. Only by being strong enough can he protect his family in times of disaster.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission, achieving first place in the Great Li Dynasty selection. Reward: 30,000 limit points."
"Current limit points: 38,000 | 30,000. Host can Breakthrough to the next Realm."
"Ding, reward host with a Saint-tier sword art, Heaven-Slaying Drawing Sword Art."
The mechanical voice in his mind pulled Jiang Xuan back to reality. Seeing the System's prompt, he was overjoyed. The rewards had arrived!
"This time, I have a full 30,000 limit points. Now, I can finally Breakthrough to the Spirit Connection Realm."
He was about to represent the Great Li Dynasty to participate in the Holy Land assessment. These rewards came just in time. As long as he Breakthrough to the Spirit Connection Realm, even a Dharma Aspect True Monarch would be no match for him.
According to King Chu, most of those participating in the assessment were at Spirit Connection Perfection. Only those few major forces would have individual Dharma Aspect Early Stage Cultivators.
Their impressive aspect was that each of them possessed a special Physique, with the lowest being a King Physique.
However, for Jiang Xuan, any Physique was useless in front of him. As long as they were in the same Realm, he was invincible!
Jiang Xuan then looked at the other reward, the Heaven-Slaying Drawing Sword Art! Hiss~ a Saint-tier sword art!
The System was very generous this time, actually rewarding a Saint-tier sword art.
After arriving in the Great Li Dynasty, Jiang Xuan also learned about the Realms after Dharma Aspect. After Dharma Aspect came King Conferment, which King Chu was in, followed by Emperor Conferment, Supreme, Saint, Great Saint, Saint King, Quasi-Emperor, and Great Emperor.
A Saint-tier sword art was something only Saints were qualified to Cultivate. Such a precious sword art was only available in the Holy Land, and even then, non-core members could not view it.
Now, he actually had a Saint-tier sword art in his hand, and he didn't even need to Cultivate it; he could directly receive it. It's just that if he used it at his current Realm, the power wouldn't be as great.
Jiang Xuan's heart was pounding. If the news of him possessing a Saint-tier sword art got out, even King Chu wouldn't be able to protect him.
"Hehe, after Breakthrough to Spirit Connection, combined with a Saint-tier sword art, killing a few Dharma Aspect Cultivators shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Holy Land assessment, huh? I'm a little excited now." A glint flashed in Jiang Xuan's eyes, and he muttered to himself.
His expression was excited, his eyes filled with light, and he asked King Chu, "Your Majesty, when will the Holy Land assessment take place?"
King Chu looked at Jiang Xuan's eyes and was startled in his heart. Why was this boy so excited? Although he was puzzled, he still replied, "It's in one month. At that time, an envoy from the Holy Land will come to take you to the assessment grounds."
"There's still a month, then I'll Breakthrough to the Spirit Connection Realm first."
