Jiang He left everything to Jin Sidao to buy immortal crystals and strengthen immortal items.
The Immortal Ascension Feast continued.
On the other hand, Jiang He had a sip of wine and chatted idly with Wang Hou, Lü Dongbin, and the others. They talked about the celestial battlefield and the many races in the universe, and soon, the banquet reached night.
Jin Sidao then toasted the various immortals, with some of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's True Immortals helping to entertain them as well.
It was fortunate that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was now backed by Jiang He, and even if they did not treat certain Golden Immortals very well due to the large crowd, the Golden Immortals would not dare to say or complain.
In the evening, when the presentation was about to end, Wang Hou sent word to the elites of the various sects who were teaching and taking in disciples in the Hua Nation to discuss the matter of 'teaching'.
However …
Most of the experts from the various sects pretended not to hear, and some even found excuses to leave.
The Taixu Sect's Golden Immortal arrived with the Taixu Sect's chieftain and the Yuan Spirit Elder who was acquainted with Jiang He, smiling. "Minister Wang, Mister Jiang, could we have a word?"
"Not lending!"
Jiang He spoke, refusing with a straight face.
Nonetheless, Jiang He was not bothered to explain the meaning of the joke when he saw that the trio from the Taixu Sect were left dumbstruck. Instead, he turned to Jin Sidao and said, "Come, Jin Sidao. Let's discuss the specifics of buying immortal crystals and strengthening immortal items."
Jin Sidao quickly said, "This way please, Mister Jiang … I have my own courtyard in the sect, please come to my place."
"Eh … the Immortal Ascension Banquet isn't over yet. This isn't too good, right?"
"Don't worry, I will take care of everything."
Jin Sidao led the way and left with Jiang He in a hurry.
The meaning was clear.
Don't look for me for this.
The Taixu Sect Chieftain's lips curled into a bitter smile at the sight, while the Taixu Sect's Golden Immortal appeared rather gloomy.
He had deliberately brought along two people from his sect who were on good terms with Jiang He, intending to use Jiang He's reputation to have a good talk with Wang Hou about spreading Dao … after all, in the eyes of the various immortal sects, mortals were nothing.
Wang Hou alone?
If not for Jiang He's support?
With his abilities as a noble?
Could they suppress the major Immortal sects?
"Minister Wang …"
The Taixu Sect Golden Immortal forced a smile and said, "About the meeting before?
I heard that the Taixu Sect and the Hua Nation?
Always maintaining close cooperation?
I have already punished the disciple who made the decision on his own. "
"Minister Wang, about the matter of sending experts to wipe out the awakened powerhouses hidden in various places?
The Taixu Sect will support you fully! "
"After I return to the sect?
I will send a True Immortal and three Heaven Immortals to assist Minister Wang. They will be at his disposal. "
The Golden Immortal of the Taixu Sect was very humble.
Preaching the Dao …
It was a big deal.
For those Immortal Cultivators, Earth was their homeland and their "home planet". Although they had been fighting outside for many years, Earth was their home.
However, he still had feelings for Earth. Otherwise, he wouldn't have traveled hundreds of millions of light-years.
He had crossed countless galaxies and planetary regions to come back to protect the ancestral planet.
That was why it was important for these cultivators to leave their orthodoxies on Earth.
The major sects had sealed themselves off for more than 2000 years.
Now that the world's spiritual energy had finally recovered, they were going to open their doors?
Start recruiting disciples?
What if the inheritance of the orthodoxy … was really restricted?
In a few hundred years, it would be completely desolate.
"No need!"
Wang Hou was unmoved and refused, saying, "The Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Jiuhua Sect would send ten True Immortals and fifty Heavenly Immortals to sweep the world. Moreover, the Martial Arts Department (MAD) would send some elites as well, along with Jiang He's cat, dog, and monkey."
"With such a lineup, we could handle even the slumbering Golden Immortals. Why would we need the Taixu Sect?"
The Taixu Sect's Golden Immortal elder's expression stiffened, and he quickly spoke up, intending to fight for it. However, his expression darkened when he saw that Wang Hou remained unmoved, and his patience ran out as he gritted his teeth. "Don't go too far, young one!"
Even the way he addressed him had changed!
Wang Hou was not angered. Instead, he said with a smile, "Fellow Taoist, I'm in charge of the Hua Nation now. Firstly, you immortal sects have never contributed to the Hua Nation, and secondly, you've never paid taxes to the Hua Nation. Naturally, it's up to me whether you're allowed to preach or not.
"You severed the legacy of the Taixu Sect, and that is an irreconcilable grudge!"
The Taixu Sect's Golden Immortal said coldly.
Now that things had come to that, there was nothing to hide since they had already fallen out. Hence, the Taixu Sect's Golden Immortal sneered and stared at Wang Hou in disdain, saying, "Wang Hou, do you really think you're invincible just because you founded Martial Dao?"
"A martial artist is a martial artist. You're probably not that smart … if it wasn't for Jiang He, do you really think the elites of the other sects would care about a mere martial artist like you?"
"You might not know this, but the so-called Martial Dao … was slowly created from the immortal path after the Dao of the homeworld was sealed back then, making it difficult to cultivate the immortal path … Martial Dao is a mere Dao!"
The Taixu Sect's Golden Immortal's aura surged as he stared at Wang Hou and said word by word, "The immortal path rules on the homeworld. What is your Martial Dao?"
Beside them, the other Golden Immortals of the other immortal sects who had been paying attention to the commotion all turned toward him. Some agreed, some sneered, while others snorted and muttered, "Bleh! What are you?"
"Do you really think you're somebody now?"
"If it wasn't for Jiang He, who would care about you?"
The Golden Immortals and True Immortals led by Lü Dongbin all turned toward Wang Hou in confusion. The Ten Thousand Swords Daoist's expression changed, and he flew up to stand behind Wang Hou, saying somberly, "Brothers, Brother Wang Hou is now the ruler of the Hua Nation. Don't you think it's a little too much for you to speak so rudely?"
"Heh!"
"The ruler of the Hua Nation?"
"He's just a common monarch. Back then, did any common monarch not kowtow to us?"
"This has nothing to do with you, Wang Xiao 'Er!"
The group of Golden Immortals all turned toward the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist with hostile looks!
Wang Hou had allowed the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Jiuhua Sect to spread their teachings in the Hua Nation, which meant that he was standing against them.
It was not just the sects who attended Jin Sidao's ascension banquet. The immortals who came with the Eight Immortals were unaware of what was going on, and so frowned at Wang Hou after asking around.
Though they did not say anything, they all felt that Wang Hou was going a little overboard.
You're trying to cut off their Daoist orthodoxy!
Cutting off their legacies was no different from killing one's father or stealing one's wife.
Still, considering that Jiang He was close to Wang Hou, the many Golden Immortals communicated with their divine minds before Lü Dongbin rose to his feet and advised, "Brothers, why don't we each take a step back? It wasn't easy for the homeworld to have its current state … "
Even before he finished, Wang Hou shot him a cold glare and smiled fearsomely. "What does the homeworld's current state have to do with you?"
That retort left Lü Dongbin unsure what to say just then.
On the other hand, Wang Hou's frail demeanor was swept away, and a tyrannical aura burst out of his body.
His Martial Yuan Spirit rose to the skies with a resounding boom, his qi and blood surging like a rainbow, dyeing the skies beyond in a blood-red hue.
"After you were defeated, you sealed Earth, fleeing or holing up … but when the legion of the Sky Demons descended over six hundred years ago, there is no telling how many martial seniors sacrificed their lives and spilled their blood, using their own flesh and blood to seal the Stargate, and only then did the Sky Demons retreat!"
"After the Revival of Qi, Earth was in chaos, and the Sky Demons rose from the ashes … where were you then?"
Kaboom!
There was a dull sound.
It was the dull sound of Wang Hou's aura rising, causing the air around him to tremble.
He laughed out loud, his voice resounding as he said, "It's probably because I haven't fought for a long time, which is why everyone thinks that I'm useless …"
He extended his hand and grabbed at the Taixu Sect's Golden Immortal.
A giant hand that blotted out the sun descended from the skies.
In the void, there was a vague force descending, adding to Wang Hou's move.
The Taixu Sect's Golden Immortal paled in shock, and promptly invoked his mystic treasures and cast godly techniques to block it, but it was all futile …
He realized in shock that …
Wang Hou …
His cultivation was so frightening!
Most frighteningly, his move seemed to have invoked a certain power that was suppressing him, reducing him to less than a tenth of his power.
In the next instant …
Pow!
The Taixu Sect's Golden Immortal was directly shattered by a single palm strike.
His Yuan Spirit had just flown out of his shattered corpse when Wang Hou's Martial Qi surged, crushing and obliterating it.
After killing the Taixu Sect's Golden Immortal with a single strike, Wang Hou turned to attack the three Golden Immortals who had mocked him just now. They promptly took to the air and met him head-on. Lü Dongbin tried to intervene, but was repelled by Wang Hou with a single palm strike.
"That … that …"
Lü Dongbin could not help crying out in shock, "Grand Luo combat ability?"
Beside him, Iron Crutch Li rose to his feet and said somberly, "That person is certainly extraordinary to have come this far in martial arts. His own combat ability could probably match an average Grand Luo, and most importantly, he could draw upon the power of the Star Map …"
"What?"
The expressions of the many Golden Immortals present changed.
Average Grand Luo …
Modolo and the White Sky God King, for example, had combat ability that could match an average Grand Luo. Pinnacle Golden Immortals would be crushed against them, but neither Modolo nor the White Sky God King could kill them if they tried to flee.
And yet …
Drawing upon the power of the Star Map was frightening!
It was said that the disciples of the Three Sects had worked together to craft the Star Map, with the top disciples of the Three Sects participating in its creation. Those individuals were invincible beings barring Saints, and the Grand Mage of Xuandu, the top disciple of the Ren Sect, had even wielded the Eight Trigrams Map to fight a Saint.
Though the Star Map was an acquired soul treasure, its power had reached the level of innate soul treasures, and was even stronger than most innate soul treasures.
Wang Hou could draw upon the power of the Star Map …
Coupled with his Grand Luo combat ability, not even real Grand Luo Golden Immortals could defeat him on Earth!
In that very moment, the many Golden Immortals could not help having a thought …
Wang Hou's combat ability on Earth was probably even more frightening than Jiang He's!
Meanwhile, Jiang He was standing in Jin Sidao's yard in the distance, watching over the place.
There was a smile on his face, and he could not help chuckling. "I've always heard that Wang Hou was tyrannical without equal before I got to know him, and now that I've met him, it really is true … by the way, Jin Sidao … eh?"
Even before he finished, Jiang He suddenly froze where he was.
In his mind, there was a crisp sound of the system notification — — — — —
[Ding!]
"It has been a year since the Host obtained the system. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the annual gift package."
Jiang He: "…"
Annual Gift Pack?
Annual Gift Pack???
What the hell!
