"Yang Yutian, come, sit beside me. I don't have much time left. I can only live for a hundred years at most. To be able to accept a disciple like you while I'm still alive, I will have no regrets even if I pass away." The president's face was filled with melancholy. He did not have much time left, unless he could successfully break through to the eighth step.
Jianchen sat down beside the president.
The president looked at Jianchen and said, "Yang Yutian, other than letting you see the grand elder, I have another matter to tell you." The president's expression gradually became serious as he continued, "The Zaar family of the City of God is extremely ambitious. Not only do they want to swallow up the other two organizations, they even want to include our Radiant Saint Master Union in their list of targets. A few years ago, when the grand elder was out traveling, he was harmed by a group of mysterious people. Not only was he poisoned, he was also hunted down by many unknown experts. In the end, he only managed to return to the City of God after many twists and turns. He only recovered recently. We have always suspected that this was the doing of the Zaar family."
"Now that I'm here temporarily, they won't dare to do anything too overboard. However, once I leave in a hundred years, they will probably move against our union. Your existence is a huge hindrance to the Zaar Family. Although they don't place your current strength in their eyes, with your talent, you might reach my current realm in a hundred years. Hence, I'm afraid that the Zaar Family will make a move on you. During this period of time, you should stay in the City of God and don't go out. In the City of God, we can still guarantee your safety for the time being.
Jianchen's heart sank slightly. He said, "Yes, master. This disciple understands."
"Alright, I've already told you everything. You can go and prepare well. In the competition half a month later, you must enter the top ten. Only by becoming a seventh step Radiant Saint Master can you pose a threat to the Holy Emperor. Although the price is a little high, it is the only way to deal with the Holy Emperor." The president waved his hand and let Jianchen leave.
Jianchen stood up and bowed to the President before leaving the room.
After Jian Chen's departure, the grand elder looked at the president and said, "President, you don't have much time left. You need to speed up the plan. Once you become a Class 8 Radiant Saint Master, our union's strength will increase drastically."
The president gently sighed and raised his head to look at the ceiling. His expression was slightly mixed, and he said, "Ever since ancient times, there hasn't been a single Class 8 Radiant Saint Master on the Tian Yuan Continent. The past presidents of our union have thought of countless methods, but none of them have succeeded. Class 8 Radiant Saint Master is just too difficult, and I have a feeling that I might never be able to reach that level in my entire life."
"No matter what, this is still your only chance. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, you have to try," the grand elder said with a heavy voice.
"The battle between the three clans will probably begin after the saint artifact is opened. Let's wait for the battle between the three clans to end before we carry out this plan. If I fail in the end, I will use my life as the price to cast a forbidden technique and eliminate the threat of our union." A resolute light appeared in the president's eyes.
…
Jianchen already had a house of his own in the headquarters. After leaving the president's place, he returned to his own house. At this moment, he was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed as he silently pondered.
The Zaar clan wanted to move against the Radiant Saint Master Union, but he had become the greatest obstacle to the Zaar clan's control over the Radiant Saint Master Union. He had become their target of extermination. This was something that Jianchen had never expected. Now, the development of the situation had deviated from his expectations once again.
"No one knows my true identity anyway. At worst, I'll just wait until I reach the 7th Class and directly leave the City of God. I'll appear as a fighter. When my strength is enough to face the Zaar clan in the future, I'll reveal my identity as a Radiant Saint Master. At that time, even against the Radiant Saint Master Union, I'll have the ability to make them fear me." Jianchen thought.
At this moment, a series of knocks sounded from outside.
Jianchen's eyes narrowed and he immediately stopped thinking. He looked at the door and said, "Come in!"
The door opened and a white-robed old man walked in. He was the grand elder of the Radiant Saint Master Union.
Jianchen was slightly taken aback. He immediately stood up and bowed respectfully. He said, "Yang Yutian greets the grand elder."
The grand elder gently closed the door and stared at Jianchen with a strange light in his eyes. He waved his right hand gently and a gold medallion immediately flew out from Jianchen's Space Ring and landed in the grand elder's hand.
This scene immediately surprised Jianchen. The scene of the purple-gold medallion flashed through his mind and he immediately became vigilant.
The grand elder carefully stroked the medallion with his right hand. The strange light in his eyes became even brighter. He said casually, "Yang Yutian, may I ask where you obtained this medallion?"
"Grand elder, Yang Yutian found this on a rotten corpse in the Magical Beast Forest. Do you recognise it?" Jianchen asked carefully as he paid close attention to the grand elder's expression.
Jianchen could not help but think back to when he had obtained the medallion. The medallion had been gifted to him by a mysterious old man in a carriage. Jianchen did not see the old man's appearance, but he could sense an unfathomable presence from the old man. Afterwards, he guessed that the old man must have been heavily injured when he constantly coughed.
Now that he thought about how the grand elder had been poisoned a few years ago and was heavily injured, Jianchen was basically certain that the old man who had gifted him the medallion was the grand elder.
If his identity was exposed, his identity as a fighter would definitely be exposed as well. This would be extremely disadvantageous to him. At the very least, it was very likely that he would not be able to break through to Class 7.
The grand elder stared at Jian Chen with a smile that did not seem like a smile. He said, "Of course I recognize this item because it was mine in the first place." The grand elder slowly thought back to what had happened a few years ago.
Back then, he had been heavily poisoned before becoming heavily injured from the attacks of several powerful people. Although he managed to repel the people who had attacked him in the end, he was forced to suppress the spread of the poison with all his might, so he was unable to fly with Radiant Saint Force. In order to cover his tracks, he disguised himself as a merchant and hired some mercenaries to travel on foot. Only when he reached a safe place did he contact the Radiant Saint Master Union through the Psychic Jade. The president personally came to bring him back to the City of God safely.
Along the way, he came across a young man. Although the young man was very weak, he could sense that the young man would definitely be extraordinary in the future through his instincts. He was a dragon among men, which was why he had left behind a violet medallion. The violet medallion was a symbol of his identity, and it contained a sliver of his Radiant Saint Force origin energy. He hoped that they would meet again in the future if they were fated to meet again.
But now, not only had the grand elder discovered the violet medallion he had left behind in the past on Jianchen, but he could also see some of the young man's features from Jianchen's face.
Jianchen immediately became rather uneasy. He did not fear the grand elder, but he was afraid that his identity would be exposed and his plans would all be for naught.
"Grand elder, since the medallion is yours, I'll return it to you today," Jian Chen said carefully. He paid close attention to the changes in the grand elder's expression. Although Jianchen was filled with nervousness right now, he remained composed on the surface. Even the gaze he used to observe the grand elder seemed very normal.
The grand elder gently rubbed the violet medallion before looking at Jianchen. He said, "I've already given this away in the past. Since you've obtained it by coincidence, I can only say that you're fated to have this medallion. You should keep this medallion on you. It's not valuable, but it does contain a sliver of origin energy I left behind. Once you reach Class 7, you should be able to use it because the medallion has its own secrets. It can store a small amount of origin energy." The grand elder handed the medallion back to Jianchen before walking out with large strides. When he arrived at the door, he paused slightly and glanced at Jianchen again. He sighed gently, "Yang Yutian, I hope you don't forget that the president of the union is your master. Although the relationship between the two of you isn't deep, the president values you very much and has great expectations for you. He even sees you as the future pillar of the union. Don't disappoint me." With that, the grand elder walked out with large strides.
Jianchen's face immediately became uneasy. The words the grand elder had said before he left kept repeating in his head. He did not know whether the grand elder had seen through his identity or not, but the meaning behind those words made Jianchen's mind wander.
The next day, a middle-aged man in white robes found Jianchen. He said, "Esteemed master Yang Yutian, the patriarch of the Zaar family invites you to be a guest of the Zaar family."
"The Zaar family!" Hearing that, Jianchen frowned slightly. The light in his eyes flickered a few times. He said, "I understand. You can leave."
After the middle-aged man left, Jianchen's face immediately became rather gloomy. After a moment of thought, he said, "Although the Zaar family wants to harm me, we still haven't reached that stage yet. Moreover, the Zaar family is the true overlord of the City of God. They definitely can't be compared to the eight great clans. They probably won't harm me by inviting me to the Zaar family today. If I don't go, my relationship with the Zaar family might worsen prematurely. Whatever, I have no choice but to go this time. However, before I go, I have to talk to my master, just in case."
…
At the same time, in a mountain range several million kilometers away, five old men with disheveled hair sat cross-legged in a cave.
"God dammit, the four protectors of the Bloodsword sect really won't leave us alone. They've chased us for so long and still won't let us go." An old man cursed. His face was filled with anger. On his body, there was a ghastly wound.
"The four protectors of the Bloodsword sect have a very strong Baleful Yin Qi. Once they use it on us, we'll definitely die. We can't continue to be entangled with them. If this continues, we'll probably die at the hands of the four protectors of the Bloodsword sect before the Tiger King's mission is completed."
"We can't delay any longer. We have to find Jianchen as soon as possible. Once the Tiger King's mission is completed and we get the remaining two Class 7 Monster Cores, we'll leave this place."
"I have the blood of Jianchen's parents. Old man Situ, use this blood as a guide and use the Great Prophecy Technique to find Jianchen's location."
