Chapter 356: Old Ancient Sect, Legend of the Ye Clan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was now the 50th year of the Dingtian Era. In this year, the Heavenly Jing Empire was peaceful and the Heavenly Court was getting stronger and stronger.
Ever since the Scarlet Heaven Martial World gave up on the invasion, an endless stream of martial artists from the Scarlet Heaven Martial World had joined Heavenly Jing. Furthermore, the Heavenly Court had been selecting Heavenly Soldiers, Mountain Gods, Land Gods, and Fairies in the human world every year. Precisely because of this, the reputation of the Heavenly Court had spread wider and wider.
This year, Heavenly Jing welcomed guests.
An envoy from Guangtian.
Jiang Ziyu had also heard of Guangtian and had personally met with the envoy.
In the imperial study, Jiang Ziyu smiled at the three envoys and said, “I didn’t expect you to come so soon.”
The leader of the envoy was a man with a strong physique, but there was a scholarly aura between his brows. He forced a smile and said, “Your Majesty Heavenly Jing, we didn’t come early enough. I wanted to see you for a long time.”
After dozens of years of sailing, they had encountered many dangers along the way. Only they knew how many times they wanted to give up.
Jiang Ziyu smiled and asked, “May I know why you are here?”
The envoy replied, “I wish to make a deal with Heavenly Jing. I wonder if you can sell Heavenly Jing’s teleportation formation?”
Jiang Ziyu asked in surprise, “Teleportation formation? Do you still have the time to mess with this thing?”
The eunuch at the side could not help but laugh. He looked at the three envoys with pity.
The envoy frowned and asked, “Why do you say that? Your Majesty, do you know anything about Guangtian?”
He suppressed his anger. Before entering the palace, he was filled with a favorable impression and yearning for Heavenly Jing. He felt that Heavenly Jing was better than before, but the moment he entered, the gazes of Jiang Ziyu and the eunuch made him feel insulted.
Jiang Ziyu sighed and said, “It seems like you really don’t know. The Heavenly
Duke of Guangtian, Lin Hongchen, has been captured by the Emperor of the
Luo Hong Dynasty. I heard that his elites have also surrendered to the Luo Hong Sovereign Dynasty. Right now, Guangtian has fallen into internal strife and even the Emperor is dead. Right now, the throne is being snatched by the princes in turns.”
“That’s impossible. Why haven’t we heard of the Luo Hong Sovereign Dynasty?” The envoy was furious, and so were the other two.
Jiang Ziyu shook his head and said, “It seems like you really don’t know. In any case, you took decades to come from Guangtian. You should go back and take a look. However, this trip will take decades. I hope Guangtian will still be standing at that time.”
Lin Hongchen’s plight had already spread throughout the Mental Wander
Realm. After all, there were worshippers in Guangtian and the Luo Hong Sovereign Dynasty, and both sides had even argued and even fought because of this.
The eunuch at the side was also an incense believer, and he had also heard of this matter. He shook his head slightly and sighed for Guangtian. After all, Guangtian was once the most powerful Sovereign Dynasty in the endless ocean. Many believers of Heavenly Jing wanted to incorporate Guangtian, and the believers of Guangtian were also looking forward to this day. Unexpectedly, the Luo Hong Sovereign Dynasty appeared midway.
The three envoys’ expressions were gloomy. They were panicking. If they had only been away for a few years, they would still have the confidence to deny that claim. However, they had been away from Guangtian for decades. A lot of things could happen in a few decades.
Jiang Ziyu said, “Why don’t you stay? If you have some talent, I will not mistreat you. In another few decades, a large number of people from Guangtian will migrate over anyway. In any case, it will take you decades to return. So, why don’t you wait? You will know when the time comes.”
“Lai Fu, bring them out and settle them nicely.”
“Yes!”
The eunuch nodded and bowed before leading the three muddle-headed envoys away.
Jiang Ziyu looked at the paper on the table and recorded the information he had compiled about the Luo Hong Sovereign Dynasty.
“A single person can suppress Guangtian. Could it be someone from the outer world?”
Jiang Ziyu was deep in thought. He wrote down the name Ye Zhan. He had a premonition that Ye Zhan would be his formidable opponent in the future.
Above the starry sea, Divine Lord Zi Huan and her two maids stood by a cliff and looked down at the dazzling starry sky.
“After so many years, I wonder how the situation in the Lower Realm is.” Divine Lord Zi Huan said slowly with a complicated tone.
The white-robed woman said angrily, “They have indeed surrendered to the Dao Ancestor. They could still pretend in the past, but now, they can’t even pretend anymore. These scums actually appeared in the Chang Clan. How hateful!”
The woman in the green dress was silent and her eyes were filled with confusion.
She had personally selected those people, so how could they betray her? The last time she contacted them, she could sense that they were not controlled. Instead, they truly admired the Dao Ancestor from the bottom of their hearts.
As a result, she became curious about the Dao Ancestor. However, all of this would have to wait until the Martial World Competition ended.
The white-robed woman cursed for a while before she asked, “Divine Lord, recently, disciples of old ancient sects have appeared in Tian Xu, Moreover, a huge conflict also broke out there, affecting a part of the world.”
Divine Lord Zi Huan said, “The Divine Martial Realm will take care of it. What does it have to do with us?”
The woman in the white dress carefully asked, “Do you think the Dao Ancestor is a member of an ancient sect?”
Divine Lord Zi Huan frowned and shouted, “Don’t talk nonsense!”
The woman in the green dress hastily said, “What nonsense are you talking about? There are some things that cannot be said carelessly. Don’t forget the current situation of the Divine Lord!”
The woman in the white dress curled her lips and said, “It’s just the three of us. If my guess is right, shouldn’t we make preparations beforehand?”
“Think about the Dao Ancestor’s speed of growth and his strange ability to subdue people. The Great Wilderness Divine Lord said that he is an anomaly…” In the end, she did not dare to continue.
Divine Emperor Zi Huan was silent, but her expression turned cold. She said,
“Let’s not talk about these speculations anymore. Let’s wait for the Martial
World Competition to end. If he can withstand the pressure of the Ye Clan, the Eternal Killing Star, and the many experts in the outer world and break out of the encirclement, then Heavenly Punishment will naturally befall him.”
The woman in the white dress said nothing more as her mind drifted under the sea of stars.
The sky was high, and the sea of clouds was layered. Mountains stood on the ground like the tip of a knife, looking magnificent and boundless.
A red tower was flying in the air, and it looked ancient. Below it, there was a large number of blood-colored beetles, densely packed together to carry the red tower forward.
On the balcony of the second floor, two figures stood side by side. One of them was a man with devilishly white skin. He had an evil-looking face and black hair that draped over his shoulders. He was dressed in black with black feathers on his shoulders. His aura was similar to a demon in human form.
“Is the Eternal Killing Star in this world?”
The bewitching man asked. His eyes were like an eagle as he stared into the distance.
Standing beside him was an old man with a long beard that reached his abdomen. He had a scheming smile on his face as he said, “That’s right. In this world, his fate aura is extremely unstable. Evidently, he’s fighting.”
The bewitching man narrowed his eyes.
The old man with the feathered fan asked, “Young Master, are you sure you want to take down the Eternal Killing Star at this time? The reason why those guys did not attack is because they wanted to wait for the Eternal Killing Star to awaken.”
The bewitching man snorted and said, “If we wait for him to awaken, will we still have a chance? We can capture him first. The Bloodthirsty Insect Tower does not lack killing fields. We have shuttled through 43 martial worlds and finally found him. We can’t wait any longer.”
The old man felt that it made sense and smiled. “That brat from the Ye Clan is probably also aiming for the Eternal Killing Star. He is still too young. If he wants to awaken the Ye Clan’s bloodline, he can only rely on the Eternal Killing Star.”
“Hmph, Ye Zhan is just a waste. He is far inferior to his brother. Unfortunately, his brother was too talented. Back then, the Ye Clan was so powerful that their strength could contend against the entire Divine Martial Realm. Right now, only a few wastes are struggling at death’s door.”
At the mention of Ye Zhan, the bewitching man gnashed his teeth as if he had a deep hatred for him.
The old man with the feathered fan smiled and said, “No matter how powerful a clan is, it is only a single force. It cannot be compared to the Divine Martial Realm. The Divine Martial Realm resides in an immortal existence.”
The bewitching man snorted and said, “An immortal existence? I, Taishi Changce, don’t believe it. Forget it. Let’s not talk about those stubborn and disgusting existences in the Divine Martial Realm. Hurry up and capture the Eternal Killing Star.”
The old man nodded. Then, he closed his eyes and waved the feather fan. The feather fan stirred up waves of green light that floated forward.
A huge pit appeared among the mountains, and the edges of special silver stones emerged from it, like stars. Heavenly Soldiers and martial artists were collecting them.
On a mountain beside the pit, Jiang Shan was currently meditating with his eyebrows furrowed.
Hei Hou stood at the side and looked around with a frown.
Sitting under a tree at the back, Jiang Tianming crossed his legs and asked with a blade of grass in his mouth, “Old Hei, what are you looking at? Why are you
so nervous? Is there an existence in this world that a Martial God cannot suppress?”
Hei Hou answered, “Naturally, there are none in this world. I’m just afraid that there might be some from other martial arts worlds.”
For some reason, he had a feeling that he was being targeted for the past few days.
Jiang Tianming stood up and came to his side. “Old Hei, tell me about the
Xuanhuang Great World. The last time you mentioned that the prodigy of the Ye Clan broke into the Divine Martial Realm alone, what happened after that? Did he save the person he loved?”
Hei Hou said angrily, “How is that possible? The Ye Clan is now gone. How can there be so many miracles in the world?”
Jiang Tianming lamented, “Is that so? What a pity. Ye Shenkong killed a Heavenly Origin Extreme Martial Realm expert in the Imminent Divine Realm and even fought three of them alone. After that, he swept across his peers and won every battle. What a pity would it be if such an existence were to fall?”
“It’s because he’s too strong that the Upper Realm does not tolerate him. At that time, he could even overshadow the Eternal Killing Star.”
Hei Hou shook his head. Only the people from the Upper Realm knew how exaggerated the Ye Clan was when they were strong.
Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly felt something and turned to look at the horizon. He saw a red dot that was rapidly expanding.
“That is…’
Hei Hou widened his eyes and trembled.
Jiang Tianming turned around and frowned.
They saw a red building flying over from the horizon. It was the group of the Bloodthirsty Insect Tower that was looking for the Eternal Killing Star. The bewitching man who called himself Taishi Changce was looking at them from the balcony.
“Do you know them?” Jiang Tianming asked softly.
Hei Hou did not answer and merely trembled.
Very soon, the Bloodthirsty Insect Tower flew over and hung in the sky. The Heavenly Soldiers and martial artists who were working in the huge pit looked up one after another. None of them were worried. After all, with Hei Hou around, they were not afraid of any enemies.
Hei Hou’s face turned deathly white. He looked up at Taishi Changce on the roof of the Bloodthirsty Insect Tower and forced a smile. “Young Master Taishi, why are you here?”
Taishi Changce looked down at him from high above and said, “I seem to have seen you before, but that’s not important. A mere Martial God dares to get involved with the Eternal Killing Star?”
Hei Hou was moved and hastily asked, “Eternal Killing Star? Young Master, are you joking? I’ve never seen the Eternal Killing Star!”
Taishi Changce snorted.
The old man stared at Jiang Shan and sighed. “What a pity. If it were 500 years later, he would have awakened in this calamity.”
Hearing this, Hei Hou subconsciously looked at Jiang Shan and widened his eyes.
Could it be…
