Chapter 15 Is It Him?!

"It's him?!"

"How is that possible?!"

At this moment, many creatures exclaimed in alarm. Some were ancient freaks who had entered the Immortal Ancient, while others were powerful figures of the current era, each no weaker than a Heavenly Deity.

Among these people were Di Xian and Xuan Yuan. As monstrous figures who had participated in the Immortal Ancient war of the previous era, they naturally recognized Jiang Xuan.

It could even be said that as the number one figure of that era, any living being who had experienced the last Immortal Ancient and was still alive basically knew Jiang Xuan.

Therefore, Jiang Xuan's appearance in this world, descending with an invincible aura, naturally shocked countless creatures.

In the void, Jiang Xuan was also filled with emotion, gazing into the distance. He could see all the old acquaintances hidden in this world, including Di Xian and Xuan Yuan, who had chosen to sleep until now, as well as creatures who had risen after that Immortal Ancient and were now great figures in various sects.

To Di Xian, Xuan Yuan, and the others, the last Immortal Ancient seemed like only yesterday, but to Jiang Xuan, it was more than two thousand years ago.

However, he was only lost in thought for a moment before he quickly regained his senses and looked down at the trembling great figures in the void below, slowly saying, "The borderlands are about to be in chaos, with flames of war everywhere, yet you only know how to engage in internal strife and display your power. Are you forcing me to cleanse the Three Thousand Provinces?"

Upon hearing these words, the hearts of the great figures were filled with fear. They knew that Jiang Xuan was an supreme existence. Many years ago, he had taken action, attacking a crippled immortal and suppressing hidden Supreme beings, stirring up the situation in the Three Thousand Provinces.

However, everything had calmed down later, and he no longer took action, so these great sects dared to stir up trouble again. Who could have expected that this Immortal Ancient war would actually attract him here as well?

A sect leader tremblingly stood out and bowed respectfully towards the void, "Supreme one, we are only trying to kill a single person. This person is fierce and tyrannical, and even more so a bloodthirsty person who feeds on myriad races, incurring the wrath of both gods and men. We only wish to suppress him and eliminate this scourge forever."

Jiang Xuan naturally knew who he was talking about. He smiled faintly, but his voice was extremely cold, "Deceiving this venerable one, do you know the consequences?"

A soft whisper carried the supreme will of heaven, as if the entire world was pressing down. As the words fell, the sect leader instantly lost his vitality, his entire body resembling eternal ice, as if even his primordial spirit and true spirit had been frozen.

Even if it was only an incarnation, Jiang Xuan was still a being standing at the pinnacle of the Supreme realm. It was easy for him to fight against a true immortal, let alone a small sect leader in the Three Thousand Provinces. A wisp of his aura alone could determine his life or death.

As for what this sect leader said, even if others didn't know, how could he not?

They were simply coveting the many opportunities on Shi Hao's body, and they already had a grudge against Shi Hao. They were worried that such a monstrous figure would grow up, so they wanted to kill him in advance and eliminate any future troubles.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with eating all kinds of spirits. As the number one foodie in this world, there was really nothing that Shi Hao dared not eat except for humanoid creatures. Jiang Xuan's deepest impression was the whole tonic soup made from the top ten young experts from the Foreign Lands.

There was nothing wrong with saying that he was brutal and deserved the wrath of both gods and men.

However, they could not possibly know this. Jiang Xuan erased a sect leader with just a single sentence. This kind of divine power made the great figures of each sect tremble. They finally experienced the great terror of not being able to control their own life and death. Which of them dared to jump out and say another word?

One had to know that in the original trajectory, it was because the Immortal Palace Supreme was present that these sect leaders dared to take action, but what about now?

The Immortal Palace Supreme had already been obliterated by Jiang Xuan, and forces like Sword Valley and Demon Dragon Dao Gate had been destroyed. Even the crippled sword immortal behind them had been killed. How many people dared to act rashly?

People cherish their lives. If they were facing a creature that was strong but still limited, they would naturally not be afraid, but Jiang Xuan was different. He stood at the pinnacle and had even killed crippled immortals,斩至尊 (Zhan Zhizun, Killed Supreme beings), and destroyed several great sects. This was the power that he had killed his way to.

Moreover, they had already seen from his earlier words that Jiang Xuan had no patience with them at all and could take action at any time, not caring about their life or death at all.

Jiang Xuan saw everything clearly. He originally wanted to kill these creatures, but thinking about the changes in the borderlands, he changed his mind and said, "Within the Three Thousand Provinces, all creatures who surpass the Heavenly Deity Realm must all go to the borderlands within ten years to fulfill the ancient covenant. If you dare to disobey, I will destroy your Dao lineage!"

Jiang Xuan did not give them any opportunity to consider and treated everyone equally. All creatures who surpassed the Heavenly Deity Realm had to go to the border gate to guard the imperial pass. A great war was about to break out there. Although he knew that these people would not be able to change anything even if they went, it was still better than letting them engage in internal strife in the Three Thousand Provinces.

Hearing what Jiang Xuan said, all the sect leaders changed their expressions. They did not know the specific content of the ancient covenant, but they all knew that all those who acknowledged the covenant and went to the borderlands never returned.

However, no one dared to speak out against him now. With their abilities, they could not stir up any waves in front of Jiang Xuan and could only be suppressed in the end.

Therefore, they could only endure it. Even if they wanted to disobey Jiang Xuan's decree, they needed to discuss it in secret to ensure that everything was foolproof before taking action.

However, they did not know that the ten-year buffer period that Jiang Xuan gave them was not to wait for them to resist, but more accurately, to wait for the crippled immortals and Supreme beings behind them to take action.

……

The sect leaders of the various great sects scattered in a disheveled manner. It was impossible for them to make things difficult for these monstrous figures who had left the Immortal Ancient. Whoever dared to take action would be met with death and the destruction of their Dao lineage.

The great war that was supposed to break out ultimately came to an end, but there were many cultivators in this area of the uninhabited region, most of whom were geniuses and monstrous figures who had returned from the Immortal Ancient ruins, their figures flickering.

Jiang Xuan looked at these creatures and did not say much. The Three Academies in the Nine Heavens were already preparing to send people to the Three Thousand Provinces to receive the geniuses into the Three Academies.

Therefore, he did not need to worry about these things. Instead, he took away a few young people, including old acquaintances Xuan Yuan and Di Xian, as well as Shi Hao and his senior brother, and a few friends.

Among the mountains of spiritual energy, Jiang Xuan personally brewed a few cups of tea. This was a spiritual tea from the Nine Heavens, and it was personally planted by him. It had miraculous effects, and even Supreme beings rarely had the chance to drink it.

"It's been a generation, and the two of you are even more elegant than before." Jiang Xuan said, looking at Di Xian and Xuan Yuan. Now they were both Holy Sacrifice, a very special realm that only peerless monstrous figures like them could step into.

Xuan Yuan smiled bitterly and looked at Jiang Xuan, as if recalling the scene from the past, he sighed with emotion, "Time is truly amazing, yet it is also helpless. Old friends from the past, meeting again today, are already in two different worlds."

Di Xian was also filled with emotion. He was ethereal, but not without feelings. After experiencing generation after generation, every time he woke up, he would see a familiar world and completely unfamiliar creatures. How could he not have any thoughts?

Now he saw an old friend reaching the pinnacle of the human path, standing in this realm and possessing invincible power. Beyond that was the unimaginable immortal realm. Even he could not remain calm.

"The paths you and I have chosen are different, so why care about being first or last for a moment?" Jiang Xuan chuckled, like an ordinary young man, not displaying his divine power, but making people revere him from the bottom of their hearts.

Xuan Yuan shook his head and said, "Even if I made the same choice as you, I would not be able to reach your current realm in less than three thousand years."

Di Xian also nodded and said, "Moreover, you are definitely not new to this realm. The time you truly stepped into the Supreme realm would only be shorter."

It was not that he was not confident, but that the Supreme realm was too far away. Since ancient times, countless geniuses had fallen before this realm, and no one dared to say that they could definitely enter this realm.

Xuan Yuan also nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something and smiled openly, "Now that I think about it, your sentence 'One life is enough' has really come true."

Jiang Xuan smiled faintly and did not say much. Instead, he looked at Shi Hao, Qin Heng, Yu Changkong, Cao Yusheng, Chang Gongyan, and the others beside him.

"What are your plans for the future?" Jiang Xuan asked. He intended to recruit a group of monstrous figures into the Heavenly Deity Academy to cultivate a certain part of the Dao and Dharma he had created.

After all, the Dharma he created was very complicated, containing the cultivation methods of many worlds. Jiang Xuan's original intention was to fuse them into one furnace and create a Dharma for all worlds.

However, he still thought too simply. It was too difficult to create a Dharma that was applicable in any world. Although he had obtained the power of Dharma transmission, it was not a true success in creating Dharma, not even a prototype. It could only be said that he had determined a direction.

According to his deduction, it would be heaven-defying if he could create a prototype in the Immortal King Realm. As for now, it could only be regarded as a pseudo-Myriad Worlds Dharma, which could only allow those who were personally taught the Dharma by him to cultivate the Dao and Dharma of other worlds.

"Continue to cultivate and move forward on this path."

Shi Hao gave his answer. Jiang Xuan's true body had transmitted the Covering Heaven Emperor Scripture to him, planting the seed of the Dao for him. Now, he possessed an invincible posture, but he knew that his Dao was neither the Immortal Ancient Dharma nor the Covering Heaven Dharma. However, he had already found the direction when he cultivated the immortal energy before, so he naturally had to continue now.

Of course, he did not know that the Covering Heaven Dharma was transmitted to him by Jiang Xuan. He only felt that this kind of Dharma was too suitable for him, as if it originated from himself, and there were almost no shackles in cultivation.

As for the others, they also gave similar answers. They were all geniuses of an era and had their own paths to walk, and would not be easily influenced by others.

Jiang Xuan did not want to change their minds, but said, "During this period of time, the Three Academies of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will come to the Three Thousand Provinces to recruit disciples. If you are interested, you can join them."

"Senior, are you also in these academies?" Cao Yusheng asked. They were all living beings of the current era, and Jiang Xuan's status was too high, so they were willing to call him senior.

"I am the dean of the Heavenly Deity Academy." Jiang Xuan did not hide anything, anyway, they would definitely know if they entered the Heavenly Deity Academy.

"Heavenly Deity Academy?!" Qin Heng was shocked. Yu Changkong and Shi Hao were also a little surprised, because they knew from the decree transmitted by Qi Daolin that Qi Daolin was now serving as an elder of the Heavenly Deity Academy.

Jiang Xuan also saw what they were thinking and said with a faint smile, "Your master was led into the Heavenly Deity Academy by me."

"So that's how it is." Qin Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and then seemed to think of something and asked cautiously, "Senior, then can we… directly join the Heavenly Deity Academy?"

Jiang Xuan laughed and said, "Don't worry, the academy takes immortal energy as the lowest standard. After that, you only need to pass one path to enter the Heavenly Deity Academy."

Qin Heng and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Taking immortal energy as the measurement standard was indeed not too difficult, after all, they had at least cultivated one strand of immortal energy.

But in fact, the standard will be lowered in the future, because according to the standards of the Nine Heavens, the Three Thousand Provinces of this era are somewhat weak compared to other ancient worlds. Although there are a few outstanding seedlings, there are too few and they cannot be compared with other ancient worlds.

Therefore, the academies of the Nine Heavens have also lowered their standards and relaxed a lot. It is not necessary to cultivate immortal energy to be qualified. After all, in ancient and modern times, there have been many Supreme beings who have achieved great things late in life and only began to shine after hundreds or thousands of years.

It is precisely because of this that the academies no longer add any restrictions. As long as they can pass that path and reach the imperial pass, then they will be considered successful and qualified to leave the Three Thousand Provinces and enter the Heavenly Deity Academy.

However, Jiang Xuan did not say anything, and it would be meaningless to tell them these things. Anyway, they have all cultivated immortal energy and have a great hope of reaching the imperial pass.

Not long after, the experts of the Heavenly Deity Academy descended and brought the Supreme Dharma decree, and also visited Jiang Xuan. After all, Jiang Xuan was also the dean, although he did not manage things all year round and most of the time Meng Tianzheng presided over the overall situation, this title was still there.

After the experts of the Heavenly Deity Academy descended, within a few days, the geniuses of all parties gathered again. They did lower the standard. As long as they could reach the imperial pass, they could join the academy.

However, although that road was relatively safe, it was not absolute. There were many dangers. If they did not cultivate immortal energy, the chance of falling into it was very high.

Of course, for the creatures of the Nine Heavens, they would rather raise a true dragon than spend resources to raise ten thousand worms.

After all, how glorious were the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in the Immortal Ancient era? Immortal Kings Wu Zhong, Samsara, and the Ten Vicious existed in the world, but they all died in battle, exhausting everything, and could only barely drive away the Foreign Lands.

Therefore, they do not lack geniuses at all, what they lack are outstanding people who can change the overall situation and surpass the glory of the Immortal Ancient. As for the others, in their eyes, they are dispensable, and even they themselves are nothing.

Because of this, they will not care about the life or death of these monsters if they want to break into that road. This is their own choice, and they will naturally bear all the consequences themselves.

Soon, the geniuses of the Three Thousand Provinces set off, entering the depths of the uninhabited area along the ancient road guided by the experts of the Heavenly Deity Academy. However, Jiang Xuan chose to stay. According to the rumors, he was going to urge the creatures above the Heavenly Deity of various sects to go to the borderlands to fulfill the ancient covenant.

However, not long after, other voices came out from the Three Thousand Provinces. Some people wanted to resist Jiang Xuan and formed an alliance, composed of the great powers of several great sects. There were also many old monsters who had survived from ancient times.

This alliance claimed to have received the guidance of the Immortal Homeland and was not afraid of Jiang Xuan. They wanted to suppress him and make him fall completely.

Jiang Xuan soon received the news and knew that the dark forces in the Three Thousand Provinces were finally ready to take action.

So he did not hesitate. According to what he said before, he crossed the endless mountains and rivers and went to this so-called alliance to suppress it and destroy the Dao lineage behind them.

It was also on that day that in the world, immortal drums rang, shaking the Three Thousand Provinces. A prosperous and flourishing divine court emerged, as if it was about to be born, as if there were hundreds of millions of heavenly soldiers roaring.

In an instant, in the most prosperous Heavenly Province of the Three Thousand Provinces, immortal light surged, with hundreds of millions of auspicious colors. Several strands of immortal aura covered the sky and earth, will rushed into the sky, and immortal brilliance shone on the world, shocking the world!

Countless creatures trembled. They thought of the ancient legends and had heard that there were still several crippled immortals in the Three Thousand Provinces. And today, they have truly appeared in the world. The Dharma decree swept across the sky, immortal brilliance tore apart the sky, and the zhengzheng sound was like the drum sound of the heavenly court, as if a true immortal was reviving, shaking the sun, moon, and stars.

Only Jiang Xuan could not help frowning, because he sensed two extraordinary forces in these several auras. They did not belong to the crippled immortals, but were truly flawless – true immortals!
