Chapter 964: Geniuses Gather, A Grand Event!

~7 min read 1,376 words

Subsequently, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor reined in his joy, chatted briefly with everyone, and simply learned about the situation in recent days.

Apart from the destruction of the Heart Sword Sect and the Medicine King Valley, as well as the clan-wide sensation caused by Jiang Zhi being appointed as the Heavenly Sword Sect's envoy, everything else was almost no different from usual.

However, it was worth noting that.

Recently, many Heavenly Human sects that rarely maintained contact suddenly sent people to visit, wishing to establish a good relationship with their Heavenly Sword Sect.

Hearing this, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor's eyes flickered, and he instantly understood what was happening.

"It seems Clan Leader Jiang's recent move has frightened these people quite thoroughly..."

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor smiled.

One knows one's own affairs best.

Although his own strength was formidable, he was still far from qualified to prompt so many Heavenly Human powers to visit his door.

There was only one reason for this result, and it could only be one.

That was the clan leader of the Cangwu Jiang family... Jiang Daoxuan!

Since the other party could kill Zhou Tianhan, a limit-stage Heavenly Human, within a few moves, it meant that among all the ancestral elders of the clans and sects throughout the Moonlight Empire, not a single person could withstand a second strike!

Only Li Chenglong, a 'Monarch-level' expert blessed by national fortune and capable of unleashing Saint-level combat power within the Moonlight territory, had any hope of contending with him!

And experts of this caliber were extremely rare; in the entire Eastern Region, there were only three, corresponding to the rulers of the three great empires!

Therefore, under the circumstance that the three great Monarchs would not make a move, making the other party invincible in the Eastern Region.

The various major powers could not worry about anything else; they could only choose to curry favor and dared not choose to offend.

But those Heavenly Human powers that had old ties, or even deep friendships, with the Heart Sword Sect and the Medicine King Valley feared being implicated as collateral damage, triggering Clan Leader Jiang's displeasure and inviting disaster.

Thus, choosing a safer method to curry favor with the Heavenly Sword Sect was not surprising.

After all, his own disciple, Jiang Zhi, was a member of the Cangwu Jiang family and one of the Cangwu Eight Elites.

If they could successfully curry favor, they could also leverage this connection to establish ties with the Cangwu Jiang family behind her.

As an old monster who had lived for several thousand years, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor was naturally clear about all the twists and turns involved.

However, he did not care about any of this.

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor gathered his thoughts, looked again at the three people before him, and casually asked, "Apart from these matters, is there anything else?"

As soon as his voice fell, Jiang Zhi immediately stepped forward and said softly, "Master, I need to return home for a trip."

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Do you have an urgent matter?"

With a single glance, he saw that his disciple's return to Cangwu was for some specific purpose.

Jiang Zhi smiled, "Not long ago, I received news from the clan that Clan Leader my lord has ordered Clan Brother Jiang Chen, Clan Brother Jiang Yan, and Clan Brother Jiang Hao to establish our clan's academy on Cangwu Mountain."

"Calculating the time now, there are only three days left until the academy's opening; since this is a major event, I must return no matter what..."

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor's eyes brightened, and stroking his beard, he spoke slowly, "Establishing a clan academy is such a major event; how could I let you go alone?"

"Wait a moment while I prepare a proper gift, and then I will accompany you to Cangwu."

"It was thanks to your clan leader's assistance that I was able to successfully break through to Sword Saint; for such overwhelming kindness, only a personal expression of gratitude can demonstrate my sincerity..."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhi's originally cold expression finally changed.

Her face lit up with joy, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons, and she could not help but reveal a smile at the corner of her mouth, "Good!"

Being able to secure an extra gift for the family to benefit the clansmen, she would naturally not be foolish enough to refuse.

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor nodded, then looked at Nie Wushuang and Wang Yuhuan beside him, "Judging by the current reputation of the Cangwu Jiang family, once the academy is established, it will surely attract many powers to visit, and I imagine many geniuses will be present at that time."

"Such a grand gathering cannot be missed; you two shall accompany me as well..."

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.

Immediately, they bowed together to the Heavenly Sword Ancestor, "Thank you, Ancestor!"

Amidst his excitement, Nie Wushuang could not help but feel a bit of pity for Ning Zhengqi, who was busy in the sect's main hall far away.

"Senior Brother, oh Senior Brother, why are you so unable to see reason, willing to temporarily set aside your cultivation just to learn the art of managing the sect?"

"Sigh, in the end, the sect leader won't be you anyway, so why bother? It's truly effort with no reward."

"Now, do you realize what a wonderful opportunity you have missed?"

"Hehe, but it doesn't matter; when I return, I will describe my experience on Cangwu Mountain to you in detail, guaranteeing you will feel as if you were there..."

Nie Wushuang chuckled foolishly, feeling even more anticipation for the trip to Cangwu Mountain.

At the same time, the excitement and anticipation in Wang Yuhuan's heart were no less than Nie Wushuang's.

"To break through to the Sun Wheel Realm before reaching the age of twenty, master the Great Perfection of Sword Intent, and possess both an Innate Sword Body and Supreme Sword Intent—such an unparalleled monster destined to walk the path of invincibility is actually not the number one among the younger generation in the Cangwu Jiang family!"

"And then there is Jiang Chen, who makes one's heart tremble and unwilling to become an enemy just from a distant glance!"

"This person, relying solely on a magic treasure, can intervene in battles between Heavenly Humans with a Myriad Phenomena body; his strength is truly unimaginable."

Wang Yuhuan clenched his fists, unable to help but feel a sense of longing.

In his eyes, whether it was Jiang Zhi or Jiang Chen, placing either one in the outside world would make them invincible freaks capable of sweeping their peers.

Yet within the Cangwu Jiang family, they were merely two of the Cangwu Eight Elites.

Although he had been fortunate enough to see Jiang Yan and Jiang Beiye, who were also among the Cangwu Eight Elites, he had never seen the two truly make a move, which was indeed a bit regrettable.

But judging by the huge reputation Jiang Yan had built in Moonlight, one knew that every one of the Eight Elites possessed extraordinary strength and qualities far beyond ordinary people!

"Perhaps this trip to Cangwu Mountain will give me the opportunity to witness the splendor of the remaining Eight Elites."

The moment he thought about meeting so many powerful opponents, Wang Yuhuan became so excited he could not help but tremble all over!

He desperately wished time would pass even faster, even hoping to skip these three days and arrive directly at the day of departure for Cangwu Mountain!

At this moment, seeing Nie Wushuang and Wang Yuhuan act so excitedly, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor could not help but laugh helplessly.

But regarding the feelings of the two, he expressed understanding.

After all, even he himself felt a strong curiosity about those geniuses of the Cangwu Jiang family who had not yet walked the world.

"I wonder how Clan Leader Jiang manages to cultivate them, actually causing so many monsters to emerge within the clan."

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor let out a soft sigh.

Then he lifted his head and gazed into the distance.

"Three days from now — truly something to look forward to…"
