Chapter 1779: Chapter 846: Upheaval in the Western Regions! Crisis Approaches! (Part 2)
After all, the Ten Great Immortal Sects are deeply ingrained in people’s hearts, and Spirit Mountain is undoubtedly at the top of them, with several Bodhisattvas and a Buddha at the Earth Immortal level.
It is an existence at the pinnacle of the human world.
How could such people die?
How can such people die?
Yet... the facts are right in front of us, Spirit Mountain... is destroyed, the Buddha and several Bodhisattvas are dead.
Such a huge change has left the people of the Central Divine Continent with varied expressions.
Some are excited, thinking that the downfall of Spirit Mountain is good, as it dared to attack the Central Plains before; this is the consequence, those who offend the Central Plains must be punished even from afar, and what of the Buddha, it gets killed all the same!
Some are terrified, believing that Chen Yuan is too murderous, and if he ascends to the throne one day, the Central Plains will never see a day of peace.
Some applaud, finding that today’s situation is just like a thousand years ago, when Chu’s Grand Ancestor dominated all directions, and envoys from all around came to the Great Chu Dynasty.
What a glory?
Now, Chen Yuan is the next Grand Ancestor of Chu.
Others count the ten Great Immortal Sects, and find that either they have submitted to Chen Yuan, such as Martial Emperor City, Shushan Holy Land, Taixu Immortal Palace, and Biyou Immortal Palace.
As well as Heavenly Demon Temple, Goddess Immortal Palace, and Wudang Immortal Mountain.
Seven out of the ten Great Immortal Sects have submitted to Chen Yuan.
The remaining three, Kunlun Immortal Palace is nowhere to be found, having sequestered itself many years ago, with its sect leader, Feng Yuan Daoren, falling out of favor in the Capital, leaving no trace since.
Seven Killings Demon Hall harbored resentment towards Chen Yuan and was directly exterminated.
Now, Spirit Mountain has also been destroyed.
It can be said that the rise and fall of the Ten Great Immortal Sects all seem related to Chen Yuan, those who submit to him survive, and those who offend him face destruction.
This realization makes people even more fearful of Chen Yuan.
What a strikingly talented figure is this?
In just a few short years, rising from obscurity to the peak, overthrowing a dynasty, establishing himself as king, and then Ascending, commanding heroes across the world, with none daring to disobey.
This is a true powerhouse!
Subduing Japan, exterminating the Western Regions.
If in the future, he wages war to the north against the grasslands and succeeds in quelling the demons to the south, his achievements will be forever recorded in history, surpassing even Chu’s Grand Ancestor, rivaling the legendary Martial Emperor!
...
Qingzhou, Ping’an County.
In a certain teahouse, it was bustling with people, numerous Jianghu Martial Artists fixated on the storyteller who was speaking eloquently, their eyes full of excitement, as if they were the ones who subdued the Western Regions.
"Bang!"
The elderly man in a blue long robe suddenly slapped the wooden block, his gaze sharply focused, and he loudly proclaimed:
"Behold as the void shattered, myriad lights enveloping the body, the Regent King in a black robe, wielding the Emperor Slaughter Saber, like a heavenly demon, crushed the void.
Instilling fear in the Spirit Mountain Buddha, he dared not continue the fight and hastily sought peace.
Yet, when he wished to make peace, the Regent King did not agree, pointing the saber at the Buddha and sternly shouted, ’Do you bald donkey remember the invasion of the thirty-six allied nations into the Central Plains in the past? Who will repay these numerous sins?’!"
"Good!!!"
The surrounding people immediately cheered loudly, their faces flushed with excitement.
The elder in the blue robe continued:
"Listing a series of transgressions made the Spirit Mountain Buddha too ashamed to show his face, attacking the Regent King in a dishonorable sneak attack, but faced with such peril, any ordinary person would have already been in complete disarray.
But the Regent King lived up to his name as the greatest in the human world, taking a single step, infinite starlight shining, enhancing himself, then with a reverse slash, this one slash.
Sliced through heaven and earth, tore apart the void, and also slew the Spirit Mountain Buddha...."
"Good, good indeed!"
"Haha, splendid!"
Silver Taels were tossed by everyone, thrown into the basket next to the elder.
Although they knew it wasn’t real, listening to such excitement, they weren’t stingy with these few pieces of silver.
The populace held a favorable impression of King Yan, but the best was the initial Jianghu Martial Artists, who have taken Chen Yuan as a target.
They have immense admiration for him, and everything he does wins accolades from many Jianghu Martial Artists.
Especially here in Ping’an County, where it goes beyond mere admiration.
This is because Chen Yuan was born here, in an obscure small town of Qingzhou, which has now become a few great cities, known as the Qingzhou Martial Arts Holy Land.
Where once Gang Condensation Realm Martial Artists were rare, now even Reach Profound Martial Artists are often seen in Ping’an County, a tremendous rise compared to before.
"King Yan truly is King Yan."
"Hahaha, Japan and the Western Regions have been exterminated, the next to be wiped out are the Southern Border demons, and we shall watch, surely within our lifetimes, we will see King Yan unify the human world and clear all obstacles for our Human Race!"
"Yes, King Yan, long live!"
"Regent King, long live!"
"Joyous, joyous...."
"Brother Yuan grows more powerful by the day." Now sitting as the County Magistrate, Wang Ping was amongst the crowd, listening to the storyteller’s tale, his heart filled with excitement.
What void, what myriad resonances, he didn’t understand, but he knew it was terrifying.
An Immortal’s methods.
Wang Ping often recalled wandering around with brother Yuan in the past, now it seems almost unreal upon reflection.
It feels like a dream.
"Lord Wang."
As Wang Ping mused, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ear, belonging to a martial artist he had just met a couple of days ago, immediately provoking a frown.
"Why are you here?"
The man, clad in a black robe, with deep eyes and a long figure, had an almost eerie appearance; his identity was unknown, as he had altered his form—it was none other than Fen Tian Demon Emperor.
"Haha, what a coincidence, I also like listening to the stories of the Regent King."
"Then we are brothers."
Wang Ping laughed heartily, patting the man’s shoulder.
"To be acquainted with you is Feng’s honor."
"Haha, here, let’s have a drink."
Wang Ping freely clinked glasses with him.
After a brief conversation, the man seemed to have business, and excused himself, but as he left, the previously smiling Wang Ping displayed a hint of gloom.
He’s no fool; this man had been intentionally asking about Chen Yuan’s past, arousing his suspicions, and now using ’coincidence’ as an excuse to approach him.
There’s something fishy about it.
With a hint of coldness on his face, Wang Ping pondered for a moment, found a secluded place, and lit a Sound Transmission Talisman to report the matter to Nanling Prefecture’s Green Envoy.
Then, he returned to his seat, face unchanged, continuing to cheer for the storyteller.
But he didn’t know that the eerie man had never left, always standing by his side, watching his actions with a chuckle.
Knowing that he was exposed, he gave Wang Ping a deep look and turned to leave, this time, departing from Ping’an County.
After arriving in the Central Plains, he had heard the most about the stories and legends of Regent King Chen Yuan, naturally piquing his interest, so he came to Ping’an County.
Seeking to learn more.
He had a premonition that if one day he unified the demonic race and advanced northward into the Central Plains, this person would be his greatest threat!
Unfortunately, Ping’an County didn’t seem to have anything special.
As for Wang Ping, in his eyes, he was like an ant, easily crushed, and he had no interest in such people, only treating it as a passing of traversing the world.
What truly interested him was Chen Yuan.
He had also heard some rumors that an expert from the Immortal Domain descended before, but couldn’t do anything to Chen Yuan, instead, they were sealed off for ten years, arousing his immense interest and caution.
This is why he hadn’t immediately gone to challenge Chen Yuan.
If the other party truly possessed the strength to contend with a Heavenly Immortal, going there would just alert the enemy.
...
Spirit Mountain, Secret Realm.
Chen Yuan, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. As the light around him gradually dissipated, his brow furrowed slightly, as during his healing process.
He inexplicably felt a touch of anxiety and unease.
As if some danger was looming over him.
A sudden inspiration!
This anxiety caught his attention.
However, what puzzled him was, with his current strength, in the human world... what existence could threaten him?
