Chapter 124: Is the Protagonist Born?_1
Ji Yuanqing’s words led everyone to daydream, spawning various imaginations about Li Fan’s identity.
“Since both Alliance Hierarchs were able to pass down the edict from that senior, you must recognize the senior. That’s why I took the liberty of coming back; I really... really wish to meet that senior once!”
His words were filled with earnestness.
“Regarding this matter, we are not in a position to decide. We need to ask the senior’s opinion first...”
However, Fire Spirit spoke up, saying, “Please wait. If the senior is willing to see you, we will notify you then...”
Hearing this, Ji Yuanqing’s face showed a touch of urgency as he said,
“The Alliance Hierarchs are unaware that, according to the records of my ancestors, once the fragments of the First Heavenly Realm merge, the things hidden within each fragment world will attract each other, causing a tremendous upheaval. If that senior does not pay attention in time, it may lead to extremely terrifying consequences...”
“Before I came to XuanTianzhou, several forbidden areas in Huangtian State had already shown signs of disturbance...”
Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning exchanged glances.
At this moment, Yuanyang Holy Lord suddenly spoke up, “How about this? Take this Transmission Crystal, Brother Ji. If there is any response from Senior Li, we’ll inform you at once.”
“Also, you might want to take note of the coordinates of the teleportation array in Taiyan Holy Land, so you can reach us quickly in case of urgent matters!”
Hearing this, Ji Yuanqing could only sigh deeply and said,
“Alright, if that’s the case, I can only hope that the senior pays attention to the affairs of Huangtian State sooner rather than later. Otherwise... according to the classics left by my ancestors, I’m afraid it will lead to a massive mess...”
Having said that, he accepted the Transmission Crystal and noted down the coordinates for the teleportation arrays of Thaiyan Holy Land and also left the coordinates for Huangtian State’s teleportation array before turning to leave.
“Oh, right!”
At that moment, Ji Yuanqing suddenly slapped his forehead and turned around to say,
“I almost forgot. Alliance Hierarchs, according to the classics left by my ancestors, Huangtian State harbors a terrifyingly powerful treasure meant for those destined in the world. When the time comes, if possible, could you please make a trip there?”
“Both of you are favored by that senior. Who knows, you might also be able to obtain that legendary treasure!”
After speaking, he departed.
After he left, the few people in the main hall all showed pensive expressions.
“Yuanyang Brother, do you have doubts about Ji Yuanqing?” Saint Lord Lingchao asked.
Yuanyang Holy Lord shook his head, “No, not only do I not doubt what he said, but I actually believe it very much!”
The others were surprised to hear this.
“If that’s the case, Yuanyang Brother, why let him leave?”
Yuanyang Holy Lord replied, “Everyone, think about it. The Xuan Tian Realm has swallowed the Hundred Worlds and merged to form the Heavenly Realm. Who is behind this great undertaking?”
“It was orchestrated by Senior Li himself!”
He said wistfully, “What kind of person is Senior Li? Wouldn’t he know the connection between the Xuan Tian Realm and the First Heavenly Realm? The fact that he named the new world the Heavenly Realm is proof enough.”
“Since that’s the case, he surely must already be aware of the situation in Huangtian State.”
“If we were to bring Ji Yuanqing to see him, I fear it would displease Senior Li!”
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized the truth!
That explanation made perfect sense.
“Yuanyang Brother, you’ve thought this through thoroughly!”
“Mhm, we need to report to Senior Li first and act according to his wishes.”
“However, we can’t ignore the major event Ji Yuanqing mentioned is about to happen in Huangtian State...”
They spoke, and eventually, all eyes settled on Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit.
Mu Qianning immediately said, “We will go to see Senior Li right away!”
The news of the Four Great Alliances’ siege on Xuan Tianzhou, along with their subsequent retreat, spread quickly throughout the entire Heavenly Realm!
All were shocked.
“What? The Four Great Alliances joined forces and were still defeated?”
“Not just that, but two Golden Immortals died!”
“It is said that an incredibly powerful being in the Southern Territory descended an edict... it’s truly terrifying!”
The entire Heavenly Realm was stirred.
“Help you conquer this world!”
The voice inside him said indifferently, “Your constitution is too inferior. I shall first bestow upon you a gift!”
The next moment, Xiao Yan’s whole body trembled as a formidable Spiritual Power began to cleanse his body!
His entire body glowed, and his cultivation level soared, breaking through from the Qi Refinement Ninth Heaven, which he had struggled to advance from, directly into the Golden Core Realm!
“I... I’ve broken through to the Golden Core Realm?!”
Xiao Yan was in shock, finding it utterly unbelievable!
The leap was too terrifying, wasn’t it?
Now, he could stand shoulder to shoulder with some of the family heads in Qingyan City!
“Golden Core? As insignificant as ants. In less than a month, I will make you ascend to immortality, become an ancestor, and dominate this realm!”
The words of the “First Immortal General” Yang Miechen echoed within him.
In that moment, Xiao Yan had no more doubts, tears of gratitude welling in his eyes, he said, “Thankyou, Senior. Thank you, Senior!”
He clenched his fists, looked up at the sky, his eyes brimming with excitement and tears!
“Is this... my fortune?”
“I, Xiao Yan, am the true protagonist of this world!”
“Nalan Yanran, just wait for me, the era of Xiao Yan has come!” he cried out!
“Don’t get too carried away. If you want to become an immortal, you must listen to me!”
The “First Immortal General” inside continued to speak.
“Please give your command, Senior. Xiao Yan will definitely comply!” Xiao Yan now fully trusted this “First Immortal General”.
He firmly believed that this was his golden finger, that he was the unique protagonist of this world!
“Follow the stream upwards to an ancient battlefield, where a treasure is buried. Obtaining that treasure, you will dominate this realm...”
The words of Yang Miechen arose.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan momentarily froze, then asked, “Elder Yang... you mean to follow the stream upwards?”
“That seems to be... the Burial Immortal Mountain Range!”
Burial Immortal Mountain Range!
That was a forbidden place in the Huangtian Realm!
“Burial Immortal Mountain Range... the name does indeed fit. Indeed, many immortals are buried there...”
Yang Miechen chuckled coldly a few times and then said, “Just rest assured, I emerged from there. With me by your side, there’s nothing you need to fear!” “Once you obtain what lies within, I will teach you the method of integrating the Myriad Realms, allowing this realm and other Lower Worlds to merge. Keep searching—if you manage to gather certain items, there won’t be many in the Immortal Domain who could be your match!”
He was very composed!
But, Xiao Yan explained, “Elder Yang... The Huangtian Realm, a month ago, already merged with other Lower Worlds!”
“The new grand world that emerged is now known as the ‘Heavenly Realm’!”
Upon hearing this, Yang Miechen inside him was suddenly taken aback, exclaiming in disbelief, “What? This realm has already merged with other worlds and is named Heavenly Realm?”
“Impossible!”
He was no longer composed, and his words even carried a trace of panic.
“It’s true... the center of the Heavenly Realm now is Xuan Tianzhou. A few days ago, the upper echelons of Huangtian State followed the ‘Xuanzi Alliance’ to wage war on Xuan Tianzhou...”
Xiao Yan continued to explain.
Yang Miechen fell silent for a very long time.
“It seems that someone else has awakened before me...”
“He has already begun to search for those few items...”
“No, we absolutely cannot let the other party get there first!”
Yang Miechen murmured and then commanded immediately:
“Prepare to head to the Burial Immortal Mountain Range at once!!”
