Chapter 99: You're Looking for Me
This Supreme Elder asked cautiously; back at the Qing Emperor's Tomb, a Great Demon on par with him was cleaved into blood mist by a single sword strike from Jiang Xuan, and that keen sword tip still leaves him with lingering fear to this day.
The rest of the people were also all curious.
"Counts as Dragon Transformation." Jiang Xuan spoke; he did not interweave Dao and principle, but judging purely by realm, it indeed corresponds to the Dragon Transformation realm of the secret realm system.
"Dragon Transformation!"
"Dragon Transformation?!"
Sect Master Li, the four Supreme Elders, and the numerous elders all changed countenance drastically, looking at Jiang Xuan in disbelief.
Dragon Transformation! Dragon Transformation!
This realm is the fourth major realm of cultivation; even in the Yaoguang Holy Land it is an existence of high status and weight, an existence that countless Donghuang cultivators, countless nations, and sects must look up to.
It can be said that as long as Jiang Xuan wishes, the emperors of the hundreds of surrounding nations would scramble and fight to send their princesses to Jiang Xuan's side as maidservants.
This is the terrifying momentum of a Dragon Transformation Great Figure, overlooking the Eastern Wasteland land; only legendary Great Powers can suppress one.
Now that they actually heard Jiang Xuan has entered the Dragon Transformation realm, shock, astonishment, incredulity, and other emotions filled their hearts.
Sect Master Li took a deep breath and said: "Shallow water cannot hide a flood dragon; Jiang Xuan, how can a flood dragon describe you? You ought to be a true dragon!"
"I originally thought that in the vast Donghuang, among the direct descendants of Sacred Land Families there would be none who could match you; now it seems, what Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, what Divine Bodies and King Bodies, compared to you they are mere children!" Sect Master Li's face flushed red with excitement; in his early years he roamed Donghuang, traveled a hundred nations, and had considerable experience.
"I was originally mundane, yet the Cave Heaven took me in and bestowed cultivation methods upon me; now that I have passed by my master's sect, how could I not repay the kindness?" As Jiang Xuan spoke, the Eight Trigrams Furnace's shadow enveloped the entire grand hall, divine fire surging; strangely, it did not burn a single brick or tile.
Jiang Xuan threw out several thousand jin of Source, then tossed in several dozen Great Medicines; under the blazing fire they turned into rolling life essence qi, filling the entire grand hall.
The power of heaven, earth, mountain, marsh, water, fire, wind, and thunder surged forth; endless profundities emerged, emitting the sound of the Great Dao.
Everyone immediately sat in meditation, striving to absorb this endless essence qi; the incomparably rich essence qi was utterly pure and clean, requiring no refining at all — it was directly absorbed, causing their cultivation levels to instantly rise a stage, equivalent to several decades of bitter cultivation.
Even several elders who had hit bottlenecks had a flash of insight and directly broke through their realms.
After a long while, the essence qi dissipated.
Everyone finished cultivation, their expressions joyful; all had gained greatly, but more than that was sighing — they saw that with a wave of Jiang Xuan's hand, countless Sources were refined for them to absorb.
It can be said that with this operation by Jiang Xuan, their Lingxu Cave Heaven's strength directly crushes the other Five Great Cave Heavens.
Source — that is something that can serve as a trump card; in a lifetime they accumulated at most two or three pieces of Source, yet with a wave of Jiang Xuan's hand those innumerable Sources directly piled up half the grand hall, and several dozen Great Medicines emitting rich medicinal fragrance turned into streams of medicinal liquid that directly entered their bodies; instantly they felt their physical bodies as if shedding mortal body and exchanging bones, and they even became ten years younger.
Their Lingxu Cave Heaven — how fortunate, to have been able to instruct Jiang Xuan for some time.
Jiang Xuan's fingers tapped repeatedly, and streams of scriptures entered everyone's minds; those were obtained from the Northern Domain's Rilihuo Sect and Qingxia Sect, techniques more profound than those of Lingxu Cave Heaven.
Of course Jiang Xuan also has Emperor Scriptures, but he cannot bestow them on Lingxu Cave Heaven; it is not stinginess, but because virtue does not match position — disaster will surely follow.
Bestowing Emperor Scriptures would only cause Lingxu Cave Heaven to be destroyed.
"Those fellow townsmen of yours — a few went out to travel on their own, the rest are cultivating peacefully in the Cave Heaven; do you want to go see them?" Elder Wu Qingfeng said.
"No need; it's fine as long as they live normally."
Jiang Xuan did not meet these classmates again; everyone has their own road, and his appearance is not necessarily a good thing for these classmates. Jiang Xuan entrusted them, hoping Lingxu Cave Heaven could treat these classmates with a little more favor; that would be enough.
Finally, Jiang Xuan left behind some resources; these resources would neither make Sacred Lands and Great Sects covetous, yet could truly enhance Lingxu Cave Heaven's foundation and strength, and once again everyone was moved.
Bidding farewell to everyone, Jiang Xuan led Xiao Nian Nian by the hand, took a single step, and vanished.
……
Donghuang, Northern Domain.
During the time Jiang Xuan was in closed-door cultivation in the Fire Domain, an earth-shattering major event occurred in the Northern Domain.
The Taichu Ancient Mine in the Life Forbidden Zone stirred; Divine Source appeared in the world, shaking the entire Donghuang.
Sacred Land Families all moved upon hearing the news, erected Domain Gates, and crossed the Void to the Northern Domain; for a time, the Northern Domain became the center of Donghuang.
"Someone saw the Ancient Desolate Holy Body appear in the Holy City; it is said he has a cauldron cast from the Source Root of Mother Qi of All Things, and countless cultivators are searching for him."
"The Yaoguang Shengzi has been silent for two years, and now appears in the Northern Domain, with one hundred and eight strands of divine radiance around him — simply like the Sun God descending to the mortal world."
"Someone saw the Ancient Ji Family's Kylin Son, the Divine Body Ji Haoyue, also appear in the Northern Domain; blind wandering bandits blocked his way, and with a casual wave a bright moon pressed down — over a hundred wandering bandits all perished."
"Heavens, these two Heaven's Prides of Donghuang are finally going to meet?"
The Yaoguang Shengzi and the Divine Body Ji Haoyue — both are the absolute pinnacle figures of Donghuang's young generation, destined to reach the peak, attracting the gaze of ten thousand people; many very much want to know which of these two peerless Heaven's Prides is stronger or weaker.
Miaoyu Nunnery's current wandering An Miaoyi also arrived, appearing in the Holy City, drawing countless cultivators to flock to her; many arrogant yet refined cultivators even hoped to become intimate with her and become her honored guest.
The Holy City was already famous in the Northern Domain; two years ago Jiang Xuan cut out four kinds of divine medicines and immortal treasures in a single day, making the Holy City even more a focus of attention, turning it into a place where winds and clouds converge; many firmly believe there are still many many treasures within the Holy City.
Some claim to have seen the Zifu Saintess, innately connected to the Dao, purple qi pervading; some claim the Yaochi Saintess also appeared in the Holy City, moon flowers veiling her body, indistinct, hazy and vague, yet seemingly like an immortal flower pistil blooming, tall and graceful...
"If we speak of the number one Heaven's Pride of Donghuang, I believe the Yaoguang Shengzi must be first; the Hunyuan Yaoguang Technique illuminates the nine heavens, divine might unrivaled; the Yaoguang Shengzi has been silent for two years, and this time he enters the world, he will surely be even stronger." A gossipmonger said, nodding sagely.
"Ji Haoyue has cultivated the Ancient Era's strange phenomenon Sea Rising Bright Moon; I feel Ji Haoyue is strongest."
"The Qing Di Descendant Yan Ruyu — once the Demon Emperor's Sacred Soldier comes out, who can contend for the front?"
"Why does no one think that Jiang Xuan who rose meteorically is strongest?" Someone retorted.
As soon as these words fell, the scene fell into a silent hush.
After a good long while, someone said uncertainly:
"Does Jiang Xuan count as the young generation?"
Just then, a sharp voice rang out: "That Jiang Xuan — if he is truly as formidable as the rumors say, let him come out and fight me! I say he has an undeserved reputation!"
Everyone looked over, only to see the newcomer with a pair of incomparably sharp eyes, fair complexion, golden hair draped over shoulders, brilliant as sunlight, truly heroic.
"Heavens, the Yao clan's Heaven's Pride Jin Chi Xiao Peng Wang — he actually came to the Holy City too? Could it be he is also here seeking the Holy Body?"
"But he says that Jiang Xuan's name doesn't match the reality — that's going too far; Jiang Xuan's ferocious might was witnessed by all in the entire Holy City; for Xiao Peng Wang to speak so, isn't he saying we are all blind trash?" Someone was displeased, muttering softly.
"Then let him come out and fight!"
"Little bird, you're looking for me?" A vast voice came from the nine heavens, shaking space.
