96: Chapter 96 Returning to the Holy Land, the Selection of the Holy Son Begins!
Inside the Celestial Realm, seven Supreme of the Seven Star Hall stood respectfully in place. Jiang Xuan sensed their aura and nodded in satisfaction.
Now that the Celestial Realm had seven Supreme, some things could be done in advance.
"Fu You, you and Di Sha search the entire Southern Barren for traces of the Blood Demon Sect!"
As an assassin organization, the Blood Demon Sect would certainly not give up if their target was not eliminated. Jiang Xuan would not passively wait for people to come and kill him.
"Tian Shu, you and Tan Lang have no fixed objective. You can search for Heaven And Earth Treasure and Secret Realm in Barren State or other states."
"Can Hong, Po Jun, and Xing Yun, you three stay in the Jiang Family. Report any situation to me immediately!"
After this attack by the Eight Great Dynasties, Jiang Xuan understood that a powerful force was behind the Jiang Family. Whether it was the Li Clan Imperial Family or not, ordinary strong cultivators were no longer enough.
Having Can Hong and the other three Supreme guard the Jiang Family would prevent them from being too passive. Cross-realm teleportation could also be stacked, so Jiang Xuan could return to the Family at any time if there was any danger.
After arranging everything, Jiang Xuan chose to continue his seclusion. The Shi Mie Sword Art had five realms, and so far, he had only comprehended the second realm. Now, the hidden enemies were growing stronger, and he had to take the initiative into his own hands.
Seven days later, after the conquest of dozens of Kings, all Eight Great Dynasties were occupied by Great Li Dynasty. Those who surrendered did so, and those who resisted stubbornly were all purged.
The current Great Li Dynasty, under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Beginning Holy Land, had become an unprovocable major power, because behind them stood the Jiang Family, where Jiang Xuan resided!
At the location of the Xuan Mountain Jiang Family, all the prominent figures of Great Li Dynasty gathered. Today was the day Jiang Xuan was to depart.
Jiang Xuan looked at Jiang Yuntian, a hint of determination in his eyes, "Father, the day I return will be the day we step into the Imperial Family!"
Jiang Yuntian patted Jiang Xuan's shoulder heavily, with relief in his eyes, but more so reluctance. "Father believes in you and awaits that day. Be extra careful outside, and always prioritize your own life!"
Jiang Xuan nodded, then glanced at the crowd, flew onto the black eagle, and soon, became a black dot, disappearing into the sky.
In the crowd, Chu Yue, clad in armor, had a determined expression, "Take care."
...The Supreme Beginning Holy Land had been unusually lively recently. Inside the Holy Land, crowds constantly shuttled through the Void Realm, looking quite fatigued but inexplicably excited.
They were all Holy Land Disciples who had rushed back from various places to witness the major event three days later: the Saint selection!
The Supreme Beginning Holy Land had not produced a Saint for a long time, and because of this, they were often ridiculed by outsiders. Now, this situation could finally change.
They specifically rushed back to witness the birth of a Saint!
Nine sequences, plus the newly advanced tenth sequence Jiang Xuan, ten great sequences competing for the Saint position—this was the first time in many years, and the thought alone was exciting.
The entire Holy Land began to operate, and for several days, various discussions spread throughout the Holy Land.
Each sequence had their own supporters, especially Jiang Xuan. Almost all Outer Sect Disciple stood with Jiang Xuan. Ever since they witnessed Jiang Xuan's various performances within the Holy Land, they had blind trust in Jiang Xuan.
Whenever they recalled Jiang Xuan's invincible posture when he ascended the Holy Stele, the fanaticism in their eyes seemed to ignite the very air.
Just then, the crowd suddenly exclaimed, "Look, that is!"
They saw a black shadow appear from the Holy Land mountain gate, getting closer and closer. It was Jiang Xuan, who had been rushing to the Holy Land.
The crowd immediately cheered, "It's the tenth sequence, Young Master Jiang Xuan!"
"Young Master Jiang Xuan, keep it up! Besides you, we won't accept anyone else!"
Cheers rose and fell, instantly spreading through the surroundings. Jiang Xuan rubbed his nose and cupped his hands to the crowd, "Thank you, all Junior Brother and Junior Sister."
After speaking, he smiled slightly and headed towards Tianxuan Peak.
"Ah ah ah! Senior Brother Jiang Xuan spoke to me, and he even smiled at me! I can't take it, I'm going to faint..."
A beautiful female Disciple's eyes rolled back, and she fainted, a happy smile still lingering on her lips.
The male Disciple, on the other hand, watched their Senior Sister and Junior Sister warily, fearing they would corrupt Jiang Xuan.
In the distance, the nine sequences watched this scene from afar. The nine of them had fought each other for many years and understood each other well. The only variable was Jiang Xuan.
"Everyone, our Sequence Jiang Xuan has grown stronger again."
The Amorous Young Master Bai Yansheng said with a faint smile, but the gravity in his eyes indicated that he was not at ease.
Hearing this, the remaining few were secretly astonished. Last time he was in the Dharma Idol Realm, and in such a short time, he had become a King.
"I heard he recently went to Prison City and came out safely," one of them said in a low voice.
After Jiang Xuan left Prison City, the Holy Land no longer concealed his whereabouts, so it was normal for them to know.
It had to be said, putting everything else aside, just Jiang Xuan's courage alone earned their admiration. To dare to enter Prison City alone in the Dharma Idol Realm—if it were them, they might not be able to do it.
"Perhaps, that is the difference between us and him," a cold, emotionless voice came, shaking the hearts of several people.
"Is that so?"
The Amorous Young Master Bai Yansheng glanced at the cold woman and quickly turned his head away.
A burly young man holding a saber said unconvinced, "I admit he has unparalleled talent and extraordinary courage, but for me, Shi Teng, to admit defeat just like that, hmph, unless he can defeat the saber in my hand!"
The others heard this and Battle Intent appeared in their eyes. Then, three days later, they would see who was truly stronger!
As Holy Land sequences, their pride was higher than anyone else's. Unless they were beaten down, none of them would admit defeat.
Upon returning to the Holy Land, Jiang Xuan first visited his Revered Master Wu Tian, and also met Ji Wuhui at Myriad Law Peak.
The Great Xia Imperial Dynasty had been relatively well-behaved under the deterrence of the Holy Land during this period, and with Jiang Xuan also back in the Holy Land, there was no point for Ji Wuhui to block the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty's entrance.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Jiang Xuan returned to Tianxuan Peak, where he met Jiu Li and Xuan Yang at the entrance.
It turned out that after Jiang Xuan challenged the Extreme Dao Tower that day, the Holy Land rearranged an assessment, and all three successfully passed.
Jiu Li and the other two became Outer Sect Disciple of the Holy Land. That day, they wanted to apologize to Jiang Xuan, but coincidentally, Jiang Xuan had gone to Prison City, and they only saw him today.
Jiang Xuan did not make things difficult for them; he simply planned something with Jiu Li and the other two. As for what the plan was, it was unknown.
Three days later, a loud bell rang throughout the Holy Land.
"Dong ~"
The bell echoed throughout the Supreme Beginning Holy Land, making the excited hearts of the crowd tremble even more violently.
All Holy Land Disciples and Elder headed towards the central Dao Battle Platform of the Holy Land, forming countless streams of Spiritual Qi of different colors along the way, a magnificent sight.
At the top of Tianxuan Peak, Jiang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his lips. The four-colored DragonTattoo on his brow was faintly visible. With a thought, the Shi Jue Sword appeared beneath his feet.
"Partner, today we shall rule the world!"
After saying that, he rode his sword away. The position of Saint, I, Jiang Xuan, will surely claim it!
