90: The destiny of the latent dragon is also a leek

Jiang Chen, the Saint of Hongtian Holy Land, emerged from half a month of seclusion with a greatly advanced cultivation.

Furthermore, he was about to represent the Holy Land, personally leading a group to Taichu Dao Academy to participate in the Ten Thousand Dao Tea Ceremony, held once every sixty years!

This news, like a hurricane, swept through the entire Hongtian Holy Land within half a day, causing a monstrous stir!

"What? The Saint is personally going to attend the Ten Thousand Dao Tea Ceremony?"

"Oh my heavens! That is the most top-tier grand event, gathering the young generation from the entire Eastern Domain, and even the other three domains!"

"If we can follow the Saint and witness his supreme demeanor as he overwhelms all the Prodigies, what an honor that would be!"

"Hahaha! Excellent! With His Highness the Saint personally taking action, he will surely sweep aside all Prodigies and win supreme glory for our Holy Land!"

"That's right! What Sword Child, what Divine Maiden, in front of our Saint, they are all mere insignificant beings!"

Countless Disciples, especially the younger generation, completely erupted the moment they heard this news!

In their eyes, flames of fanaticism and adoration burned.

The current Jiang Chen was no longer the Saint who needed his father's prestige to quell dissent.

During the Taiyin Ancient Tomb expedition, he, by his own power, swept away all enemies and seized the chaos dao fruit!

Outside the God Burial Valley, he even, in front of numerous forces, forcefully slew the Crown Prince of Tianyuan and slaughtered four Saints!

And he even threatened the Emperor of the Tianyuan Dynasty!

Each of these events had long since elevated him to a divine status!

He had already become the only True God in the hearts of the younger generation of Hongtian Holy Land, a symbol of invincibility!

For a time, countless Disciples flocked to Holy Son Peak, either offering themselves or pleading bitterly, all hoping to obtain a spot to accompany him.

To compete for those limited spots, fierce competition and contests even broke out among many Disciples, and the entire Holy Land was filled with a surging Battle Intent.

On Holy Son Peak.

Xiao Tiandu, Song Ningxue, Qing Linghe, and others had already been waiting for a long time.

They were also surging with emotion and excitement.

"The Ten Thousand Dao Tea Ceremony! I absolutely cannot miss such a grand event!"

Xiao Tiandu clenched his fists, his eyes resolute.

At the same time.

In several Elder Immortal Caves deep within the Holy Land, the atmosphere seemed a bit subtle.

Grand Elder Yun Wuzi and others, upon hearing this news, remained silent for a long time.

Make them oppose Jiang Chen's participation in the Ten Thousand Dao Tea Ceremony?

This was absolutely impossible.

This was not only the glory of the Holy Land but also a tradition of the Sect that had continued for countless years.

If they dared to obstruct him, without Jiang Shentian even needing to act, the spittle of countless Disciples within the Holy Land would be enough to drown them.

"Hmph, it's fine if he goes."

A self-muttering, tinged with coldness, came from Yun Wuzi's Immortal Cave.

"Taichu Dao Academy is not our Hongtian Holy Land."

"Prodigies gather there, Prodigies run rampant, and there are even old monsters beyond the Dao Integration Realm presiding."

"Without the protection of the Holy Lord and Jiang Jiu, let's see how arrogant he can still be!"

"Preferably, at that Tea Ceremony, he offends some existence he cannot afford to provoke, suffers a great loss, and lets him rein in that arrogant pride of his, unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth!"

They dared not do anything openly, but in secret, they harbored a hint of schadenfreude.

Hoping that Jiang Chen, this overly dazzling star, would fall hard on a larger stage.

Jiang Chen ignored all the various reactions from the outside world.

He was currently in the main hall of Holy Son Peak, personally selecting the list of Disciples to accompany him on this trip.

His criteria were very simple.

Strength, talent, and... loyalty.

"Xiao Tiandu, Song Ningxue, Qing Linghe, Wen Yan."

He took up his brush and first wrote down these four names.

These few people, from the Taiyin Ancient Tomb onwards, had always firmly stood by his side.

Then, Jiang Chen stepped out, appearing outside the hall.

When they saw Jiang Chen's figure descend from the sky, the four immediately came forward to greet him.

"Greetings, Saint!"

Xiao Tiandu and the other three bowed in unison.

"No need for formalities."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the three.

"Not bad, your cultivation has all improved."

He could see that these three had all gained considerable benefits in the Taiyin Ancient Tomb, and their Dao foundations were even more stable.

"You should already know that I am about to depart for Taichu Dao Academy to attend the Ten Thousand Dao Tea Ceremony."

"On this journey to Taichu Dao Academy, you four will accompany me, considering it a form of tempering."

Jiang Chen spoke directly, without any unnecessary words.

Xiao Tiandu and the others were momentarily stunned by this sudden good news, unable to fully process it.

"Saint, can... can we really go?"

Song Ningxue's beautiful eyes sparkled with brilliance, and her voice trembled slightly.

Qing Linghe and Wen Yan also had expressions of anticipation and longing.

"Of course."

Jiang Chen's expression was calm as he looked around at them.

"Yes! Saint!"

The four responded in unison, their faces alight with unconcealed excitement.

They were already Prodigies, so they naturally yearned for a grand event like the Ten Thousand Dao Tea Ceremony.

From another perspective, being able to accompany Jiang Chen was also their Opportunity.

Just as Jiang Chen was arranging everything, a communication jade slip quietly lit up.

It was from Nangong Mingyue.

There were not many words in the jade slip, only a few brief sentences.

"Ten Thousand Dao Tea Ceremony, heroes rise together, be careful in all things."

"I will also go."

"Wishing you peace."

Between the lines, there was unconcealed concern and affection.

Jiang Chen looked at the jade slip, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

She was also going to Taichu Dao Academy?

Perfect.

He replied with a sentence and then put away the jade slip.

Everything was ready.

Three days later.

The mountain gate plaza of Hongtian Holy Land was packed with people.

Numerous Disciples and a group of Elders led by Jiang Shentian had gathered there to see him off.

Rumble!

Accompanied by nine earth-shattering Dragon roars, the nine dragon chariot, symbolizing the supreme majesty of the Saint, tore through the sky and hovered above the plaza.

Jiang Chen, in a white robe, stood at the very front of the Dragon carriage, his expression calm, his gaze indifferent, looking down at everything below.

Behind him, Xiao Tiandu and the others stood tall and proud.

"Farewell, Saint!"

"Farewell, Saint!"

Shouts like a mountain tsunami echoed through the sky, lingering for a long time.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, saying nothing more.

His gaze shifted, looking towards the distant direction where Taichu Dao Academy was located.

His face was as still as an ancient well.

But in the depths of his profound eyes, a cold, playful killing intent flashed by.

Ten Thousand Dao Tea Ceremony?

Prodigies contending?

In his view, it was merely a leek harvest feast specially prepared for him.

That so-called number one Prodigy, that child of destiny with the Hidden Dragon fate, should still be in Taichu Dao Academy at this moment, dreaming of soaring to the sky, avenging his brother, and ruling the world, right?

What a pity.

Yuan Changfeng, this so-called Hidden Dragon, would not live to see the day he transformed into a soaring Dragon; he would be personally strangled by him in the shallows.

"Depart."

"Follow me, drink tea, seize treasures, and crush!"

Jiang Chen spoke indifferently.

The nine True Dragons let out a roar, pulling the magnificent Dragon carriage, transforming into a dazzling stream of light, tearing through the sky, and speeding towards the direction of Taichu Dao Academy.
