Chapter 413. The Jiang Clan's Full Support, Plans for What Came Next
Compared to three months ago, the aura Jiang Ningxian gave off had grown even stronger. There were already faint signs that she was about to break into the Immortal Realm.
Of course, breaking through was not especially difficult for her. It was merely a matter of whether she was willing to do so.
The only reason she had not was because she had been restricted by this world. Now that the power of the Separation of Heaven and Earth was gradually weakening, Jiang Ningxian could also begin to draw upon her own foundation and advance toward a higher realm.
Honestly, as long as she was willing, she could break through at any time.
Back in the Dragon Penitentiary, Jiang Ningxian could have stepped into the Immortal Realm in one move as well. Just that, Lu Yuan had stopped her before she attempted to do so.
"How is the situation outside Earth now?"
Lu Yuan did not waste words and went straight to the point.
After all, he knew very well what he would have to face next. He needed to understand the movements of the Outer Cosmos beings to make arrangements in advance, and not be left completely unprepared.
"Because of the disappearance of the power of the Separation of Heaven and Earth, more and more powerful Outer Cosmos experts have arrived in the Milky Way Starfield. The top ten great clans are among them as well. I assume they are all preparing to descend at the first possible moment.
"However, some of them are not here to conquer this world."
Jiang Ningxian naturally did not hide anything from him. She told him the full details of the situation. In short, the Milky Way Starfield and Earth had now become the center of the entire universe. Everyone was paying attention to this world.
"If they are not here for conquest, then they must be here for that wisp of Providence of the Great Age, right?" Lu Yuan asked. He also realized the reason those Outer Cosmos beings had come here.
With this world's awakening, there were indeed many resources and fortunes. But at most, those could only attract some starfields that were not particularly powerful. For those ranked in the top ten, such as the Eternals, the Ji Clan, and the Jiang Clan, these things were not considered too important.
Otherwise, they would have taken action long ago. Jiang Ningxian was one such example. After descending, she had almost only focused on cultivating on her own and had not really done anything else. But for existences like them, the Providence of the Great Age was extremely important.
As long as they could obtain it, they would be able to defy the heavens and change their fate. This remained true even for the two Holy Sons of the Eternals and the Ji Clan.
As for the Providence of The Great Age, to put it another way, it could be understood as the mandate belonging to the child of destiny of this era.
Lu Yuan knew this very well. He also knew that after those Outer Cosmos beings descended, the entire world would be drawn into all kinds of wars. Although not all battles would be targeted at Earthlings, he still had to make plans in advance.
"In addition, my Jiang Clan should be arriving soon as well. This time, several of my uncles will personally lead the group. They are very strong, and after arriving in the Milky Way Starfield, they will also gather some allies to support Earth. To be precise, they will support your Celestial Court," Jiang Ningxian said with a smile. She knew that during this period, Lu Yuan had been doing everything he could to better prepare for the situation that would come in the future.
He had been continuously strengthening the Celestial Court, as well as the power of its members. Unfortunately, there was too little time. No matter what he did, there was a limit. It was impossible to expect everyone to be like Lu Yuan. Under such circumstances, external help was necessary.
The Jiang Clan was very powerful. Although it was not strong enough to stand against everyone, it had allies of its own. More importantly, not every great clan wished to conquer and suppress this world. Some had only come for the Providence of the Great Age.
In that case, the Celestial Court and Earth would have a chance. That was also why she was happy. At the very least, her clansmen had listened to her suggestion.
They were prepared to fully support Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan understood all of this very well too, so in the end, he looked at Jiang Ningxian and said, "Thank you."
This was the first time Lu Yuan had thanked her since becoming familiar with her. But unlike before, the gratitude in his words seemed to carry something more.
Jiang Ningxian seemed to hear it as well. A smile appeared in her eyes as she continued, "Actually, I was not able to persuade my father and the clan all on my own. It is because you are strong enough. Your performance has completely exceeded their expectations. You directly killed the projections of two Holy Sons. To them, your talent is in no way inferior to the strongest Rankers in the universe."
Her meaning was very simple. Lu Yuan's performance had made the Jiang Clan feel that he was worth investing in.
On the surface, it seemed a little like a transaction, an exchange of interests. But Lu Yuan understood their perspective. After all, this concerned an entire clan. They could not make decisions casually. Even so, he still knew that Jiang Ningxian had done a great deal throughout this process.
At this moment, Lu Yuan looked at her, and she seemed to sense something as well. She immediately wanted to say something.
But very quickly, Jiang Haokong walked over from the side. He seemed to have heard their conversation and said directly, "Lu Yuan, it wasn't just my sister. I also said many good things about you in front of Father and the clan elders. I told them that in terms of talent and strength, you are almost on par with me. When the time comes, you had better thank me properly," Jiang Haokong said, with traces of pride in his eyes.
He truly believed all of this had been his contribution.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan immediately smiled and was about to say something when Jiang Ningxian's elegant brows furrowed.
She looked at her younger brother and said loudly, "Weren't you in seclusion this whole time? Since when did this have anything to do with you? Of all places you could go, you insist on following me around. Didn't you want to defeat Lu Yuan? With the way you idle about all day, you think that's possible?"
She was indeed a little annoyed. She and Lu Yuan had been having a perfectly good conversation. Yet her tactless younger brother just had to come over and insert himself into it. Jiang Ningxian then let out a cold snort and left directly.
As for Jiang Haokong, the Holy Son of the Jiang Clan, he had no idea what had just happened. He stared blankly at Lu Yuan. In the end, he only managed to squeeze out one sentence. "Did I do something wrong?"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan only smiled without saying anything, then turned and left as well. He still had to give Zhu Qingyu and the others guidance on their cultivation and evolution today.
As for Jiang Haokong, his face remained painted with confusion.
In the following days, Lu Yuan continued as before. Aside from cultivating, he gathered information on the Nine Cauldrons. In addition, he was also trying to find out the whereabouts of the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token, to see if there was a next piece. Of course, more importantly, he was still paying attention to the movements of the various races in the starry sky.
He already knew that both the Eternals and the Ji Clan were prepared to eliminate him once and for all, though it remained unknown as to what methods they would use.
Even so, Lu Yuan was fearless. To him, these two clans were only trouble. They could not be considered actual enemies in the real sense. He only wanted to continue growing stronger and step onto the supreme path.
Then, he would deal with the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, the true calamity in every sense. Therefore, everything that came next was nothing more than a transition.
More importantly, Lu Yuan had another thought in mind. If there was a chance, he would use this opportunity to grasp all power firmly in his own hands.
