334: Meet Emperor Jiang and go to the Merit Hall to receive the mission
[master of fate: Jiang Yi]
[Cultivation: Fifth Level of the Heavenly Realm]
[Physique: Pseudo-Chaos Body]
[Cultivation Scriptures: "Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Heavenly Scripture", "Longevity Emperor Scripture", "Great Yin Ancient Scripture", "Netherworld Black Lotus Diagram (Incomplete)", "Indestructible Golden Body", "Phoenix Heaven Ancient Scripture"]
[Techniques: Phoenix Nirvana, Eternal Emptiness, Reincarnation and Rebirth, World in Palm, Within Reach, Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram, Golden Crow Precious Technique...]
[Lifespan: 5500]
Jiang Yi glanced at the panel; although his Lifespan had increased,
it was still insufficient to cover his expenses.
He needed to look around for some opportunities to harvest resources.
...For example, the Merit Hall!
Wasn't it said there were missions? Where were those wicked Cultivators hiding?
He could replenish his Lifespan and, at the same time, perform some good deeds!
He would increase his Karma and be a good person!
As the saying goes—
If there are no enemies, then go find some!
As for that cheap Revered Master of his, it seemed that aside from their first meeting,
at any other time,
there wasn't even a trace of him!
He was being raised completely in a free-range manner, but—
this actually suited his preferences perfectly!
It wasn't bad at all!
Fortunately, Nangong Yao had shown him the way before, so he knew where the Merit Hall was.
Jiang Yi went alone, without taking the Golden Horned Horse with him!
Nangong Yao treated it quite well!
She had obtained a Cultivation Technique from an ancient alien race from an Elder who raised Spirit Beasts.
It was for the Golden Horned Horse to Cultivate!
If it reached a profound Realm, it could be comparable to the Great Power Realm.
It might even evolve and return to its ancestral roots, with the hope of transforming its Bloodline!
Shedding its single horn and replacing it with dragon horns!
To become a true Dragon Horse!
...
Inside the Merit Hall!
Jiang Yi was dressed in white, with a tall stature and handsome features, his face possessing sharp, well-defined contours.
Within the Huangtian Ancient Sect,
he was now a figure known to everyone, with no one unaware of his existence.
Many Disciples of the sect saw him!
They one after another cupped their hands in greeting.
They even proactively made way for Jiang Yi to pass.
There were also some female Disciples!
Their eyes sparkled with brilliant light, appearing shy yet frequently looking towards him—
constantly casting flirtatious glances.
The bolder ones even dared to step forward with small, hurried steps!
First, they performed a curtsy!
Then, their red lips parted slightly as they spoke in soft, sweet, and delicate voices!
Or perhaps—
with a charming look and a dainty manner, they whispered softly,
"Greetings, Emperor Jiang!"
"Mmm-hmm~~~"
This caused the other Disciples to gnash their teeth; both men and women secretly cursed them as vixens.
However, the former group added a line in their hearts, silently shouting,
"Let go of Emperor Jiang... let me!"
Jiang Yi nodded slightly to each of them in response, his expression calm!
His heart... was the same!
He remained unmoved!
The Elder guarding the Merit Hall was an existence at the level of an old Celestial!
He didn't put on any airs, but watched Jiang Yi with a smile.
His eyes were full of kindness!
"I wonder what brings Emperor Jiang here today..."
Jiang Yi cupped his hands and bowed slightly to the Elder before him.
He spoke truthfully,
"I have come to accept a mission!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing his words!
The Elder's sparse eyebrows twitched slightly, appearing somewhat surprised.
As far as he knew!
Emperor Jiang had only returned to the sect about half a year ago.
There shouldn't be any rush!
He could have waited a year to come, or one might even say—
it would be fine if he didn't come at all!
Rules were rules, but people were flexible. For True Disciples,
as the descendants or direct successors of the clan's Great Powers or even Giants,
they didn't have to come here to accept missions at all!
Instead!
They could just focus on cultivating within the sect!
Even if they needed some form of tempering, their Revered Master would arrange it for them.
Or they would often just head out on their own!
A place like the Merit Hall was usually for the majority of the sect's Disciples.
What he hadn't expected was!
The one acclaimed to have the potential of a Great Emperor, Emperor Jiang, with his extraordinary feats,
had actually run over here to accept a mission!
So this was what surprised him, the Elder of the Merit Hall.
Could it be that Elder Chi Yuan hadn't made any arrangements?
Quickly!
He pulled his thoughts back; that Great Lord was not someone he could gossip about.
He looked at Jiang Yi and asked gently and with some curiosity,
"I wonder what Emperor Jiang's current Realm is..."
"Late Stage True Venerable!"
Jiang Yi replied calmly; he did not reveal his true cultivation.
Otherwise!
With his current cultivation, it would be somewhat shocking!
"True Venerable... Late Stage?"
The Merit Hall Elder nodded subconsciously, but in the next moment!
It was as if he had come to his senses!
His mouth hung open!
He looked completely shocked.
Surely...
He hadn't misheard!
Although he could be considered an old Celestial, it didn't mean he was truly "senile."
After all, his entire cultivation Realm was right here!
He had heard clearly, it really was—
Late Stage True Venerable!
This cultivation speed seemed a bit too fast. If one added in his—
Saint Body suspected to be a Chaos Body!
Didn't that mean he could defy the heavens and slay immortals, and was capable of fighting a Celestial?
Someone at his own level!
Immediately, the Merit Hall Elder regained his composure and thought for a moment.
He spoke,
"Emperor Jiang can go up to the fourth floor to take a look. The missions there
correspond
exactly to the True Venerable Realm. Perhaps there is something suitable for you..."
"Thank you for your trouble, Elder!"
Jiang Yi nodded, then turned to head up the pavilion stairs nearby.
As for the Merit Hall Elder, he watched his retreating figure and shook his head,
sighing repeatedly!
Comparisons really are odious!
Thinking back to his youth!
He too had been a Prodigy of his generation. Stepping into that True Venerable Realm
had taken him a full—
three hundred and fifty years to successfully break through to that Realm.
But the Emperor Jiang before him!
Judging by his age, he didn't even seem to be thirty yet. Even if he was,
he certainly wasn't over sixty!
However!
He had already advanced to the True Venerable Realm!
Comparing the two, it seemed all those years of his had been lived in vain!
The difference between a Prodigy and the ordinary
was already like the distance between clouds and mud, no less than the gap between heaven and earth.
What he hadn't expected was!
Even among prodigies, there were also gaps, and this gap
was likewise like the difference between clouds and mud!
Between the two!
It was as if they were separated by a natural chasm!
Compared to Emperor Jiang, he was just an ordinary Prodigy, while the latter—
was a Prodigy among prodigies.
He could be called—
a peerless genius, a monstrous figure!
Jiang Yi arrived on the fourth floor. Compared to the first and second floors,
there were only a few scattered Disciples here, almost countable on one hand.
He scanned them briefly; in terms of cultivation Realm, they were all at the True Venerable level!
When those Disciples saw him, their faces invariably showed a hint of surprise.
They seemed somewhat astonished that Jiang Yi would come here!
