191: Thousands of races

Wu Ning put away his Dao Sword, glanced at the sky, then said to Murong Haoyu, “Cousin, let’s go.”

“Oh, oh…”

Murong Haoyu nodded blankly, still in a daze.

The three immediately flashed away, and after meeting up with Wu Tian Ce and the others, the group headed towards the Central Region.

Countless people were left behind, discussing animatedly.

…

Tianxu Ancient City, Central Region.

After parting ways with Murong Haoyu, Wu Ning and his group landed in front of a magnificent manor.

The manor covered an extremely vast area, spanning millions of miles, with palaces standing in rows, divine light radiating everywhere, Immortal Qi misty, and an atmosphere of peace and harmony.

This was the Wu Clan’s territory in Tianxu Ancient City, where an Immortal Emperor expert was stationed.

As one of the Supreme Imperial Clans, the Wu Clan naturally had a Dao-proving Immortal Emperor in the All Heavens Battlefield, but he had been in seclusion in Tianxu Ancient City for many years.

After the Blood Beast Tide more than five hundred years ago, this Immortal Emperor Elder did return to Taichu Ancient City to understand the situation, but Wu Ning was still in seclusion at that time and did not meet him.

Soon, a large group of people came out to greet them.

“We respectfully greet the Dao Child!”

Hundreds of people saluted in unison.

“There’s no need for formalities, please rise.”

Wu Ning showed a warm smile and waved his hand to help them up.

The Elder leading the group couldn't help but exclaim, “I’ve long heard that the Dao Child’s talent is that of a Prodigy, unparalleled through the ages. Seeing it today, the rumors are indeed true!”

Several people beside him nodded in agreement, “The Dao Child is so young, yet his strength truly makes us feel ashamed.”

“Haha, our Wu Clan has successors, which is truly gratifying!”

“You all flatter me.”

Wu Ning chatted and laughed with them for a few moments, then entered the manor surrounded by them.

Wu Tian Ce asked the Elder leading the group, “Elder Rong, where is Elder Wu Long?”

“Elder Wu Long went to Tianxu Palace the day before yesterday, and he will probably return in a few days,” Elder Rong explained.

Wu Tian Ce nodded slightly and said nothing more.

The group escorted Wu Ning into a splendid palace in the core area of the manor, where Immortal Qi was rich, various exotic flowers and plants were planted, and the decor was extremely exquisite.

“Dao Child, this is your residence. Are you satisfied with it?”

Wu Ning nodded, “It’s very good, Elders, you’ve put in a lot of effort.”

“As long as the Dao Child is satisfied, then we won’t disturb your rest. If you need anything, just instruct the maids directly.”

Wu Rong said with a smile in his narrowed eyes.

They had inquired about the Dao Child’s preferences in advance, so they specifically arranged for several extremely talented and beautiful women to serve as maids.

Wu Ning saw his gaze and was speechless for a moment.

His previous premonition was indeed correct; this old fellow, what kind of person did he take him for?

“Alright, you may all withdraw.”

Wu Ning waved his hand, and the group quickly dispersed. Wu Tian Ce and the others were also arranged in other places.

Several beautiful maids secretly observed Wu Ning, their eyes gleaming with admiration. When they saw Wu Ning look over, they immediately demurely shifted their gaze away.

Wu Ning glanced at them and then retracted his gaze.

Good heavens, the youngest one was at least a hundred thousand years old; he had no interest whatsoever.

Turning around and walking into the highest pavilion of the palace, Wu Ning looked out over the entire Central Region.

The prosperity here far surpassed any place he had been before.

After all, this could be considered the core convergence point of the entire Myriad Realms.

In addition to the Human Race, Demon Race, and Asura Clan, one could also see many humanoid races here: God Race, Spirit Race, Yao Race, Sea Race, Innate Holy Spirits, Essence Spirit elemental races, Divine Beast races like the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kunpeng, Primordial Vicious Beast races, and numerous strange races, etc.

It could be said that myriad races stood here.

As long as a powerful race existed in the Myriad Realms, it could basically be seen here.

So many races gathered together naturally created an extremely prosperous scene.

This was also the first time Wu Ning had seen so many races, and he couldn't help but be extremely curious for a moment.

He had encountered obstacles in creating life in his Inner World and was planning to start from genes. With so many types of living beings, if he were to study all of their genes, he would surely gain a great deal, right?

…

Two days later.

Elder Wu Long returned from Tianxu Palace, and Wu Ning met this Immortal Emperor Elder for the first time.

“Dao Child, this is our first meeting, and you’ve already given me a huge surprise.”

Elder Wu Long laughed loudly, “Hahaha… I really didn’t expect that fellow Chi Lan would fall at your hands.”

“You don’t know, when I heard that news, I almost jumped out of my skin.”

In just two days, the news of the Wu Clan Dao Child slaying an Immortal Emperor with a single sword had already spread like wildfire.

It even overshadowed the news about the Blood Beast Tide for a time.

Everyone was speculating about Wu Ning’s true strength, and as for his statement, “I’m not an Immortal Emperor,” the vast majority of people expressed disbelief.

Although many people believed that the death of Immortal Emperor Chi Lan was related to that sword, instantly killing two Quasi Immortal Emperors was also impossible for anyone below an Immortal Emperor to achieve.

Even No Life, the number one on the Jueshi Ranking, could not do it.

Upon hearing Elder Wu Long mention this matter, the Wu Clan members immediately became excited.

Many younger clansmen looked at him with fervent admiration.

Wu Ning smiled in agreement, but he felt a bit strange in his heart.

This Elder Wu Long seemed to be laughing heartily and acting very close to him, but deep down, he harbored a hint of jealousy and dissatisfaction towards him.

This was something he could only perceive with his current cultivation.

They had only just met for the first time, so why was this the case?

Wu Ning’s mind turned, and he quickly understood the reason.

It was likely still because of the Great Luo Dao Sword.

How many people wouldn't covet a sword capable of slaying an Immortal Emperor expert?

Wu Long probably thought it was given to him by the Family, and he, a dignified Immortal Emperor, didn't even have the qualifications to obtain such a Magic Treasure, so his heart was unbalanced.

Of course, it also didn’t rule out the possibility that he was jealous of his own peerless talent…

Wu Ning smiled and didn’t take it too seriously.

It was only human nature; as long as he didn’t do anything out of line, it was fine.

After all, it was perfectly normal for him to be envied, jealous, and hated in his situation.

Subsequently, Elder Wu Long also ordered an Immortal Feast to be held, partly to welcome the Dao Child and partly as a celebration banquet.

Everyone immediately became lively, and this Immortal Feast lasted for three full days.

During this period, many people came to visit, and news about the Wu Clan also spread.

On the other side, in the territory of the Nine Li Divine Dynasty.

Crash—!

“Bastards! These curs, after killing Lord Chi Lan, they even dare to hold a grand feast; they’re simply going too far!”

A burly man, his eyes red, smashed things while cursing the Wu Clan.

Slap—!

“Damn the Wu Clan, they’re truly detestable!”

When he had almost finished venting, a seductive man beside him finally asked, “Big brother, what did the Divine Dynasty say about this matter?”

The burly man’s tiger eyes widened, “What else could they say? Naturally, we retaliate!”

“Nine Serenity King has already sent someone with a great killing weapon. When the time comes, we must skin that little Wu Clan bastard alive, pull out his Divine Soul, and torture him for billions of years!”

Boom!

As soon as his voice fell, a white lightning bolt suddenly descended from the Void Realm, striking directly on his head.

“Ah—!!”

The burly man only had time to let out a scream, and then he was instantly blasted into ashes.

“Big brother?!”

The seductive man’s eyes widened in terror.
