AGM 455 – Jun Yu
Qin Wentian’s request for the Ouyang Aristocrat n and Jiang n to battle, was actually because of the fact that despite his current strength, he was still helpless.
Right now, although the hidden Azure Faction was already reunited, they only had Fairy Qingmei, a single Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant. Evidently, his current strength was insufficient to sh head on against a top-tier transcendent power like the Great Sr Chen n. If not, why would Fairy Qingmei need to wait so many years? She would have finished things long ago, if she could have.
Hence, Qin Wentian needed the strength of the alliance to deal a critical strike to the Chen n, making it so that once they stumbled, they would be unable to rise again.
Also, Fairy Qingmei had revealed some secrets behind the Azure Emperor’s death to Qin Wentian. Back then, the Great Sr Chen n were the masterminds. And if it wasn’t for her timely appearance, the Hua n and Wang n would all have acted as well.
But of course, Qin Wentian wouldn’t force the Ouyang Aristocrat n into danger for him. He had already made some other arrangements.
Not only that, the power under him wouldn’t be part of the alliance between the Ouyang n, Jiang n and Mystic Moon Sect. The only reason why they appeared together was to deal with the Great Sr Chen n.
As for the nine ultimate arts of Grand Xia, this was thepensation for the Ouyang Aristocrat n and Jiang n. He also wished that these two powers could grow more powerful and in the future, be ranked above the Chen, Hua and Wang n.
In Ginkou, the number of experts that gathered here this year was greater than the previous Heavenly Fate Rankings three years ago. Especially for the Ouyang Aristocrat n which was one of the powers embroiled in the tempest of Ginkou, even their Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant had personally came over. One could only imagine how terrifying the storm is going to be.
The Chen n, Hua n and Wang n’s rtionship got visibly closer, as though they already had intentions to ally together for some reason. Xiao Han and the others from the Nine Mystical Pce were also mixed in but right at this moment, just as they were drunk on sess, a piece of news out of the blue caused them to feel as though their hearts had stopped.
Back then, Qin Wentian who had barged up the Pill Emperor Hall, hadn’t he already died? Why did the news say that a gigantic roc controlled the hidden factions of the Azure Emperor and allied themselves with the Greencloud Pavilion, thoroughly rooting out the Nine Mystical Pce?
After the news circted all over Ginkou, it was as though the air itself was covered by ayer of dark clouds. The various transcendent powers suddenly recalled the seclusion of the Pill Emperor Hall. Back then, there was an exceptionally powerful constetion that enveloped the entire Pill Emperor Hall. What exactly happened back then?
And after the first waves of shock, yet another tsunami-level piece of news circted throughout Ginkou. The Hua n in the Moon Continent found themselves under attack by the Azure Faction and had suffered drastically due to being caught unaware. Luckily, the Hua n Ascendant was there, which was why the Hua n had still survived. The ancestor of the Hua n wasn’t a match for Fairy Qingmei, however he still managed to survive with heavy injuries and led the rest of his n to safety.
As this piece of news hit Ginkou, those from the Hua n currently within Ginkou all immediately left, rushing back to the Moon Continent. There were no more doubts now. Right now, Qin Wentian was enacting his revenge. All the transcendent powers that had offended him before were now trembling with fear, wondering if they would be next.
Soon after, news of the Wang n in the War Continent under attack also circted here, the information causing people to be speechless.
Qin Wentian was truly still alive. In that case, the stories about him having a supreme power backing him must be real. Not only that, he represents the Azure Faction now and was treading the path of revenge. There was no doubt that his actions wouldpletely offend several of the other transcendent powers. Even if they wanted to make peace now, it was toote. War, was the only answer.
However, Qin Wentian had no ns to announce that he would establish his own power so soon. This was because having a stable base might incite attacks from others. This was also the reason why he had his followers don masks to hide their identity, able to melt away in the crowd, hiding from the eyes of those who meant them harm. In the meantime, the followers under him were all cultivating the nine supreme arts, and no one knew who they were.
Under the continuous onught of shocking news after shocking news, the Heavenly Fate Ranking battle finallymenced in the Venerate Heavens Sect in Ginkou.
Within the Venerate Heavens Sect, there was an extremely impressive arena that was surrounded by thirty-six viewing tforms in all eight directions. Behind the viewing tforms were the countless spectators that came to witness the new rankers today.
The ranking battle this time around wasn’t conducted in the ancient kingdom of Grand Xia. There was no beating of drums, crossing the river of life and death, no battle-robed opponents to battle. In that case, they would directly usebat to determine the rankings. Each of the transcendent powers wille up with a treasure to reward the thirty-six rankers.
But right now, the thirty-six transcendent powers has already been whittled down to thirty-five. In the viewing tform designated for the Nine Mystical Pce, only a few experts could be seen sitting there. Even they themselves felt extremely awkward, with their sect being destroyed, they were no longer a transcendent power. Right now, they could only live under the protection of others.
Other than this, the number of experts in the viewing tforms designated to the Wang and Hua n only had a few cultivators. They were all afraid that Qin Wentian would mount a sneak attack again, hence they could only return to their ns and increase their vignce.
On the grand viewing tforms, the spectators stared at the battles in the arena, yet no one was really paying attention to thebatants.
Compared to the chaotic currents flowing in Grand Xia now, the ranking battle of the Heavenly Fate Rankings weren’t that important. After all, this was merely a battle among the younger generations, considering the state Grand Xia was in now, would the geniuses that emerged from the ranking battle this time around even be able to rise up?
Those from the Chen n brought Bai Qing over. They hadn’t harmed Bai Qing, but were constantly on the lookout. Today, if the Sacred Royal Medallion didn’t appear, they would definitely kill Bai Qing to vent their anger.
Old Man Tianji sat in the main seat, his gaze peering down on the intense battle of thebatants below. A smile appeared on his face when he shifted his gaze onto a young man. “This seedling isn’t bad.”
“The sword arts of this young man are truly profound.” A spectator from the Venerate Heavens Sect nodded in agreement.
When Old Man Tianji nced around at those from the various transcendent powers, his pupils couldn’t help but to narrow. He felt as though these people weren’t here for spectating the Heavenly Fate Rankings, but were hatching schemes of their own instead.
Shaking his head slightly, Old Man Tianji could only sigh in his heart. He naturally understood what these people were thinking about. In such chaotic times, even transcendent powers could fall. How could these people pay attention to what was going on in the ranking battle?
“Sigh demon star, demon star, you truly flung the entire Grand Xia into chaos.
The vision he had back then, was graduallying true.
Qin Wentian, in the short span of a few years, had already caused so much chaos in Grand Xia. If he had ten more years to grow, what would the situation in Grand Xia be like then?
Considering the history of Grand Xia, ten years were just too short a time.
Right now, the ranking battle got increasingly intense. The Ouyang Aristocrat n, Jiang n and Mystic Moon Sect all sat together on one viewing tform. Their eyes were all flickering with sharpness, yet they seemed to be patiently waiting for something.
And finally, after a few days of battle, only twobatants remained. Excited roars resounded throughout the crowd,udingurels onto them, fully convinced that these two would definitely stand at the peak of Grand Xia in the future.
The twobatants were both respectively dressed in ck and white. The ck-robed young man was from the Shi n. In the earlier rankings three years ago, Shi Potian suffered miserably, but this time around, the Shi n could finally lift their heads up with pride, someone from the n finally obtained the position of the first ranker in the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
As for the person ranked second, it was actually someone from the Thousand-Jue Alliance.
Old Man Tianji finished engraving the Heavenly Fate Ranking scoreboard, as thirty-six names shimmered in the air. The new rankers on the Heavenly Fate Rankings had thus been born.
At this moment, it seemed as though everything has ended. But of course, everyone understood that this was just the beginning.
“I have to congratte Brother Shi. Esteemed Nephew Shi Hao’s talent is extraordinary, he is sure to aplish grand things in the future.” Only to see a powerhouse of the Chen n nce towards a man from the Shi n with a smile on his face. The leader of the Shi n lightly nodded and replied, “Hao`er still needs more training. Whenpared to the first ranker three years ago, he’s still a distance away.”
The eyes of the powerhouse from Chen n flickered with an unknown emotion when Qin Wentian was mentioned. He then casually added, “Now that so many experts gathered and the ranking battle has concluded, the Royal Sacred Medallion has not made it appearance. In that case, even I feel bad thinking of the humiliation that will soon befall that talented and beautiful youngdy from the Mystic Moon Sect.”
As the sound of his voice faded, he stood up and stared in the direction of Bai Qing.
“The Chen n lost the Sacred Royal Medallion due to their disciple’s inability. To think that they would vent their frustrations out on the disciples of my Mystic Moon Sect. Howughable.”
Only to see that opposite the Chen n, the sect leader of the Mystic Moon Sect personally spoke. Her eyes flickered with a terrifying light as she stared at the Chen n’s powerhouse.
“Who knows what is real? Maybe the medallion is in the hands of your sect?” The powerhouse from the Chen n icily spat out. He turned his gaze towards the alliance of three powers while coldlyughing in his heart.
Did the Ouyang Aristocrat n and Jiang n really have the guts to form an alliance with the Mystic Moon Sect to wage an all-out war against them?
“The Chen n truly did go overboard in this matter.” The Ouyang n lord calmly spoke, causing the expressions of the crowd to stiffen. The statement of the n lord indicated a single thing.
It seemed as though a tempest is iing.
The powerhouse from the Chen n nced in the direction of the Ouyang n, yet his expression was as calm as ever as he continuedughing coldly in his heart.
At this moment... a voice drifted over from afar.
“Old friends from the Pill Emperor Hall are here to pay a visit to Brother Tianji.”
The expressions of the crowd faltered as they stared in the direction of the voice.
Over there, there were three silhouettes, each projecting an extraordinary aura that was immeasurably deep.
“That’s the Pill Emperor, as well as the ancient elder at the Ascendant level. Is the Pill Emperor Halling out of seclusion?”
Upon seeing this scene, a sh of puzzlement shone in the eyes of the crowd. That young man who walked shoulder by shoulder with the two powerhouses of the Pill Emperor Hall, who was he?
Old Man Tianji turned his gaze onto the three neers, as a strange glow shed in the depths of his eyes. The expression on the faces of the experts from the Ouyang Aristocrat n and Jiang n all grew incredibly ugly at this moment.
Why would the Pill Emperor Hall appeared here?
“Ah noble nephew Jun Yu has returned.” Only to see that among the experts of the Chen n, one extremely old-looking man d in luxurious robes stood up. This was none other than the ancestor of the Great Sr Chen n. He wielded the highest amount of authority in the entire Chen n
Right now, seeing those from the Pill Emperor Hall arriving, the first person he chose to greet, was actually the young man? This actions caused countless people to be extremely surprised.
Jun Yu...Jun Yu? Could it be him?
Around thirty years ago, the personal disciple of the Pill Emperor, as well as the daughter of the Pill Emperor were both the pride and chosen of the Pill Emperor Hall. Jun Yu immersed himself in the martial path while Luo He focused on alchemy. Jun Yu was also once the top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings, but for some reason, after he entered Heavenly Dipper, his name disappearedpletely from Grand Xia.
And currently, this man had finally returned.
“Uncle Chen.” Jun Yu bow lightly with a smile on his face. His attitude was as though talking to someone of equal ranking. The ancestor of the Chen n didn’t find anything strange in it, he only nodded and continued, “I heard that noble nephew Jun Yu has already stepped into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and has an outstanding evaluation from that ce, now that you’ve returned, how could the Pill Emperor Hall fail to rise back to glory?”
Jun Yu only had a smile on his face in response. After that, the three of them sat on the viewing tform prepared for the Pill Emperor Hall amidst the endless cheering from the disciples of the Pill Emperor Hall.
The three Ascendants of the Pill Emperor Hall sat together, yet Jun Yu seemed tomand the greatest presence.
Old Man Tianji nced at this man as he silently spected in his heart. Jun Yu is indeed extremely powerful, as befitting of someone who went out of Grand Xia to temper himself, a holder of the Sacred Royal Medallion. In the past hundred years, Jun Yu was undoubtedly the one with the highest achievements. He wasn’t simply a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant. There were rumors that he had an extraordinary status over there, high enough to crush the status of anyone in Grand Xia!
