He had reached the sixth layer of the Chaotic Body, but clearly, that was not enough to fend off the World of Forsaken Saints. Jianchen also understood that as his strength increased, the strength of his enemies might increase as well. Moreover, his final opponent was not Ouyang Yangwen but the Spiritking, who had reached Reciprocity and was no weaker than Godhood.
"Godhood …" Jianchen murmured. His eyes shone brightly as they were filled with yearning. He knew that it was extremely difficult for him to reach Godhood with the Chaotic Body in a lower world, but he had the Yinyang Saint Rock here. With the assistance of the rock, reaching Godhood was not impossible. He would just need quite some time.
Afterwards, Jianchen began to wait in boredom. However, Jianchen was unwilling to waste any time. Even if he could not absorb the energy from the rock, he would use the time to cultivate and comprehend the Way of the Sword as well as the various sword techniques that the sword spirits had passed on to him.
Today was the day that the patriarch of Changyang Prefecture in Lore City of the Kingdom of Gesun on the Tian Yuan Continent, Changyang Ba, would step down. He would pass the position to his third son, Changyang Ke. The matter of the new patriarch of Changyang Prefecture had caused an uproar on the Tian Yuan Continent several days ago. Basically everyone knew about it. Experts from the four races of the Tian Yuan Continent, the Beast God Continent, the sea realm, and the Wasteland Continent had all traveled tens of millions of kilometers to congratulate the new patriarch of Changyang Prefecture with heavy gifts.
A few experts had already arrived in Changyang Prefecture before the blazing sun had even appeared on the horizon. As time went on, more and more people from the four races gradually gathered in Changyang Prefecture. These people were all renowned figures in their respective territories. There were even quite a few Holy Emperors among them.
Basically all the Holy Emperors of the four races had broken through because of Jianchen's gift of Violet Cloud Peaches. As a result, all the Holy Emperor experts owed Jianchen a great favor. They would never be able to repay this favor to Jianchen, but they could repay it to his clan.
As a result, so many Holy Emperors had personally come to congratulate the replacement of the patriarch of Changyang Prefecture. All of this glory was because of Jianchen.
Very soon, Changyang Prefecture was filled to the brim. Because there were just too many people present, and many of them possessed great statuses, the hall in Changyang Prefecture was unable to accommodate so many people even if it had been expanded several times over. As a result, Changyang Ba arranged for the replacement ceremony to be held in the large courtyard. The Holy Emperor had already condensed a platform with earth-attributed Saint Force in the large courtyard. Right now, the platform was empty.
Many Holy Emperors and the leaders of large clans and organisations were still standing below. Before the replacement ceremony began, even though Changyang Ba was Jianchen's father, it was not appropriate for him to sit on the main seat before so many Holy Emperors and leaders of large clans and organisations.
"The Elven Queen of the Elves of the Wasteland Continent has arrived. She presents the greatest treasure of the elves, a hundred droplets of Dew of Life!" The host's voice constantly rang out. Every time it rang out, many people would cry out in surprise.
"A hundred droplets of Dew of Life. The Elven Queen sure is generous. The Dew of Life is the greatest treasure of the elves. It's said that only a single droplet is produced every hundred years. Although it can't increase strength, every single droplet is filled with tremendous life force. Even if you're on the brink of death, a single droplet of Dew of Life can easily save you. It's also said that the Dew of Life can change the constitution of people, allowing them to be reborn …"
"A single droplet of Dew of Life is a priceless treasure. It's difficult to measure its value because only the elves can produce something like that. The Elven Queen has actually taken out a hundred droplets this time. That's ten thousand years of stock …"
"The Dwarven Patriarch of the Wasteland Continent has arrived. He presents a hundred-thousand-year-old heavenly resource and five ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources …"
"The Peng Emperor of the Beast God Continent has arrived. He presents three hundred-thousand-year-old heavenly resources and ten ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources …"
"The clan leader of the Tiger Tribe from the Beast God Continent has arrived. He presents five hundred-thousand-year-old heavenly resources, twenty ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources, several thousand-year-old heavenly resources, one Class 9 Monster Core, five Class 8 Monster Cores, and one cub of the Tiger Tribe …"
As the Tiger Patriarch's gifts were announced, the people gathered in Changyang Prefecture immediately began to discuss. Many of them sighed in amazement. The Tiger Patriarch's gifts were actually more than the Holy Emperor of the Peng clan, Cangqiong. He had even given away the royal tiger cub, which was equivalent to gifting his descendants to Changyang Prefecture.
"The Tiger Patriarch has his own difficulties. Back then, the Tiger Emperor had offended the Winged Tiger and even tried to harm the Winged Tiger. It's said that the Winged Tiger's father was killed by the Tiger Emperor. The Tiger Patriarch is afraid that the Winged Tiger would vent his anger on the Tiger Clan, which is why he tried everything he could to climb up to Changyang Prefecture. He wants to use the power of Changyang Prefecture to protect his clansmen. After all, the Tiger Emperor had caused a great disaster back then. Even the extinction of the Tiger Clan would not be enough to make up for it," the Holy Emperor of the humans said softly. He looked at the Tiger Patriarch with a sliver of sympathy.
The Tiger Emperor's attempt to murder the Winged Tiger had nothing to do with the Tiger Clan. However, it was exactly because the Tiger Emperor was a member of the Tiger Clan and the king of the Tiger Clan that the Tiger Clan was implicated as well.
Among the humans, the entire clan would be wiped out if one wanted to kill the ruler of a country. However, the Tiger Emperor had tried to kill the ancient divine beast, the Winged Tiger. According to the traditions of the magical beasts, that was enough to wipe out the entire clan.
Although the Tiger Emperor was dead and the Winged Tiger had no intentions of doing anything to the Tiger Clan, the Tiger Patriarch still felt uneasy. He wanted to cling onto the great tree that was the Changyang Prefecture in a hurry. The entire Tiger Clan had put in a lot of effort to use the opportunity of Changyang Ke's ascension. They had basically given away everything of value in the clan.
"The ancestral emperor of the Felicity Empire has arrived. He has presented three Heaven Tier Battle Skills, one Saint Tier cultivation method, and three ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources …"
"The patriarch of the Tianmu clan has arrived. He has presented five ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources …"
"The great elder of the Tyrant's Blade School has arrived. He has presented …"
"The envoy of the Poseidon hall has arrived. He has presented …"
All the people of the four races had gathered for the succession of the provincial lord. Although the Sainthood experts of the sea realm were unable to come as they remained in the supreme divine hall, they had sent envoys to congratulate the new lord on behalf of their clans. Every single one of them had brought with them heavy gifts. There were countless heavenly resources, battle skills, cultivation methods, and so on. Just a single gift was enough for the Changyang Prefecture to receive an inestimable amount of wealth.
Changyang Ba and Changyang Ke also greeted everyone with smiles. As the only grandson of Changyang Ba, Changyang Ba had always doted on Changyang Xu. He had been nurturing Changyang Xu since he was young. Coupled with Changyang Xu's current accomplishments, Changyang Ba loved his grandson even more. Changyang Ba had brought Changyang Xu with him for this event. Whenever he greeted the guests of great status, he would always introduce Changyang Xu. His face was filled with uncontainable pride.
Changyang Xu had become a Great Saint Master at the age of twenty. Even on the Tian Yuan Continent, very few people could match his cultivation speed. Coupled with his background as Changyang Ba's grandson, the guests of great status praised him endlessly. There were even quite a few people who suggested that their great-granddaughters, who were of the same age as Changyang Xu, should be married off.
Changyang Xu's face became filled with uncontainable pride when he heard the praises of these people. Although he remained polite before these important people, he had already become arrogant before people of the same age. He even looked down on a few hermit clans. Changyang Xu did not care about the marriage either. His great background and talent made him extremely arrogant. In his opinion, although there were a few Holy Emperors among these people, their great-granddaughters were many generations removed from him. He had no idea just how many great-granddaughters they had. Perhaps there were several dozen or several hundred. After all, it was very common for people who had lived for several thousand years to have over ten thousand direct descendants.
On the other hand, he was the only son of the patriarch of the Changyang clan. How could the children of large clans, who were separated by countless generations, be worthy of him?
Moreover, these Holy Emperors had all broken through because of his uncle.
"Is he my grandfather? The person beside him should be my third uncle, Changyang Ke. Is the young man beside grandfather my younger brother, Changyang Xu? " Shangguan Aojian murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear as he stared at Changyang Ba and the others from afar.
Although Shangguan Aojian had once come to Lore City for training and had heard about his father's deeds, he had never personally seen his grandparents.
"That's right. Xiao Bao, that person is your grandfather, Changyang Ba. However, we've only heard about your third uncle from time to time. We've never seen him before. After all, your third uncle has always kept a low profile," Xiao Qian gently smiled beside Shangguan Aojian.
"Xiao Bao, do you want to go and reunite with your grandfather? Look at your third uncle's son. He's only a Great Saint Master, yet your grandfather loves him so much. If your grandfather knew that he had such an outstanding grandson like you, he'd probably be overjoyed," Xiao Yue also said. She used a communication technique to send her voice directly into Xiao Bao's ears. She did not want anyone else to hear her.
Shangguan Aojian shook his head, "My father isn't here, and neither is my mother. Under these circumstances, do you think anyone would believe me if I said that I was Jianchen's son? Moreover, no one knows about the relationship between my father and mother. I even suspect that even my grandparents don't know about this. "
