Chapter 2471: Chapter 94: Spectacle of Yan Dao
Seeing that Jiang Someone was so oblivious, Si Yu’an’s displeased gaze swept over like a sharp sword.
Jiang Wang feigned ignorance and quickly turned his head away.
At this moment, his gaze happened to fall on that suspended Door of Mortal World.
In the Evil Sea, the Door of Mortal World seemed to reflect the human world’s smoke and fire. But from this world, one often saw the waves of the Evil Sea.
But at this moment, he inadvertently saw—
Amid the constantly shifting light and shadow, a massive silhouette of a monstrous creature flashed by. Its exact form was unclear, but its body bore countless, densely packed starry spots!
Jiang Wang was taken aback.
Too similar.
As if in a dream returning to the Floating Land’s Endless Earth Den, encountering the myriad Star Beasts once more!
But that gigantic silhouette was but a fleeting instant. Upon looking at the Door of Mortal World again, he only faintly saw the complex-colored waters of Saint Water flowing, occasionally glimpsing shadows of the Blood River Long River, with no other changes.
It seemed as if that prior glimpse was just an illusion.
But as someone as discerning as him, how could he harbor illusions?
Did the Door of Mortal World truly reflect the scenery of the Evil Sea?
Or was it the lingering influence of "Xu Ximing"?
Or perhaps... a prank by Si Yu’an, the Sword Dao True Monarch?
The Floating Land World was one of the worlds Jiang Wang experienced in the Secret Realm of the Seven Star Tower. Although he gained the greatest benefit from it, defeating Lei Zhanqian with a single star-powered strike, aiding the Qinghuo Tribe in acquiring the king’s authority totem, there were still many questions about that world that lingered in his mind.
The Floating Land World is a vast world with its own mythology and history, its own culture and cultivation paths. The way of totem is profound and unfathomable, and it seeks the principles of heaven and earth.
But what Jiang Wang remembers most is not about having vanquished Qinghuo Qiming’s Dark Heaven, but rather the Star Beasts that drifted within it.
He often recalled the young Wu Zhu who bestowed upon him the totem of the Burning Fire Bone Lotus.
Was what he just saw truly a Star Beast?
If it has nothing to do with "Xu Ximing" or Si Yu’an, and besides evil observations, Star Beasts truly exist in the Evil Sea, then what is the relationship between the Evil Sea and the Floating Land...?
While Jiang Wang was lost in these musings, Ruan Qin suddenly turned his head: "Marquis Wu’an and Marquis Champion are comrades from the battlefield. In your view, would Marquis Champion agree to the last wish of Sect Master Huo of the Blood River Sect?"
Kou Xuejiao waits for the attitude of Qi Country, whereas Ruan Qin, being one of the upper echelons of Qi Country, is still unwilling to take a stand, at least not until understanding the full situation. Qi Country certainly wants to eat the meat and is not afraid of it, but it must avoid eating it ignorantly.
Now he was inquiring Jiang Wang, just like before when he sent Jiang Wang to Sword Pavilion as a guest, both were of a similar nature.
Jiang Wang, of course, understood this.
Suppressing the questions about Star Beasts in his heart, he calmly said: "For such a major decision as becoming a disciple of a Sect, no one can make the decision for Marquis Champion. In my opinion, it would be best if Protector Kou himself went to Linzi to ask."
In his heart, he felt that with his understanding of Zhongxuan Zun, he probably wouldn’t agree.
But such things are hard to predict.
After all, it involves a major Sect worldwide!
The status of the Blood River Sect Master is much higher than that of Marquis Champion of Qi Country.
Achieving it would allow one to leap to the top of the world, equating to fellow great figures like Grandmaster of the Legalist Sect Wu Bingyi or the True Man of the Age, Chen Pu.
And a sect that has persisted for 54,000 years, what kind of terrifying power lies beneath it? How many stories extinguished in the river of history has the Blood River Sect witnessed? How many arts and secret techniques lost to time are preserved in the Blood River Sect?
Even in this ever-changing era, where the prevailing systems of modern states are mainstream, ancient sects still stand tall, with good reason.
The accumulation of time cannot be easily erased.
Even putting aside history, disregarding the formidable legacy of the Blood River Sect, Chongxuan Zun alone is at the Divine Arrival Realm, with only one True Man in the whole Zhong Xuan family, and the successor as family head already determined to be Zhongxuan Sheng.
Even Jiang Wang, coming alone to Qi, finds that the resources of the Champion Marquis Mansion may still not surpass those of the Wu’an Marquis Mansion.
If Zhongxuan Zun were to become Blood River Sect’s Master, how many disciples would rally under his banner, including at least four True Men of the Age? What an enormous disparity in resources!
Jiang Wang introspected, and when Si Yu’an joked about the Blood River Sect inviting him, Jiang Wang, to become its sect master, his heart skipped a beat.
It’s a simple and straightforward matter—though he is now honored as the Wu’an Marquis of Daqi, it’s still insufficient for avenging Zhuang Gaoxian. Qi Country’s resources may far exceed the Blood River Sect, but he’s only a part of this vast system. To command True Men to eliminate Zhuang Gaoxian, under current conditions, is impossible.
However, if he could become the sect master of the Blood River Sect today, he would immediately possess the capability to seek vengeance against Zhuang Gaoxian! Of course, success is another matter, given the protection of Jinguo and Jade Capital Mountain.
Being uncertain himself, he could not definitively conclude on Zhongxuan Zun’s stance.
If Zhongxuan Zun harbored unattainable ambitions, then the position of Blood River Sect Master would likely make realization easier. After all, it’s a step straight to the top.
Once Jiang Wang finished speaking, Ruan Qin continued: "What Marquis Wu’an said holds merit; ultimately, the decision rests with Marquis Champion."
Kou Xuejiao sincerely said: "As long as Zhenjun Ruan finds no fault, I shall head to Linzi and make the invitation."
