Chapter 3631: Daowei Chengqing
“I see. I can tell from a single glance that fellow Chang Yang is a dragon amongst men and one of the few supreme prodigies of this age. I wonder just which great organisation is fortunate enough to have someone as outstanding as you, fellow Chang Yang?” Daowei Chengqing also clasped his fist towards Jian Chen and smiled gently.
“You’re too kind, your majesty. Compared to you who is as prominent as the midday sun, I am only the fireflies in the night. I am nothing.” Jian Chen returned the gesture.
“Your majesty, Chang Yang is an independent cultivator. He wanders the world freely and is not tied down by any organisation.” Seeing how Jian Chen never stated his origins, Jiang Pingtian added from the side. It seemed as if he was afraid that Jian Chen would create some unnecessary trouble and displease the crown prince before him.
“An independent cultivator?” Daowei Chengqing’s gaze deepened. He smiled gently. “You’re actually born as an independent cultivator despite being a prodigy like this? That sure has surprised me. I was wondering if fellow Chang Yang would be interested in joining our Waymight clan, becoming a great elder of our Waymight clan?”
After hearing that, Jiang Pingtian immediately frowned slightly. He glanced at Jian Chen subconsciously and became rather stern.
The crown prince of the Waymight clan was renowned through the Immortals’ World. Despite still having not claimed a place among the ranks of experts of the world, his status had already reached heights that were unparalleled. If Jian Chen declined an invitation from someone like that, that could potentially spell trouble.
However, he never imagined that the crown prince of the Waymight clan would actually go out of his way to cast an olive branch to Jian Chen as soon as he met him.
After all, throughout all these years, he was the first person in history to emerge from the Hole of Reincarnation. According to the ancient rumours that had already become as old and immovable as time itself, Daowei Chengqing had already changed his fate in this lifetime a long time ago. He would possess unbelievable fortune and the talent to become a sovereign.
These people obviously were extremely difficult to impress. How could they just encounter someone and then try and rope them in?
“Your majesty, Chang Yang cultivates the Chaotic Body. He’ll struggle to reach Immortal Exalt in the future,” Jiang Pingtian said calmly.
“That’s not an issue. Even if he can’t reach Immortal Exalt, there will be very few Immortal Emperors that can rival Chang Yang.” Daowei Chengqing continued to smile, looking towards Jian Chen.
“Thank you for such a kind offer, your majesty. I was wondering if you could give me some time for consideration? Once I make up my mind, I’ll come to the Waymight clan for your majesty’s protection?” Jian Chen avoided giving a direct answer.
At this moment, the space suddenly twisted, and three old men in white clothes with white hair appeared there silently.
The three old men had nothing striking about their appearances. They were covered with wrinkles, but the three of them radiated with a tremendous presence that gave Jian Chen shivers.
Within their small, skinny bodies hid a terrifying force enough to destroy worlds.
Jian Chen shivered inside. He immediately realised that these three old men were probably rarely-seen experts. They definitely were not ordinary Immortal Exalts!
With the appearance of the three old men, Jiang Pingtian became stern as well. He stared straight at the three people before him and hid the deep shock within the depths of his eyes.
Together with the shock was a deep sense of disbelief and astoundment.
At that moment, Jiang Pingtian’s heart truly began to surge.
However, the three old men did not even glance at Jian Chen or Jiang Pingtian. They faced Daowei Chengqing and demonstrated undisguised respect. They directly bent over and bowed. “Master, princess Jing has returned!”
A gleam of light flashed through Daowei Chengqing’s eyes. There was excitement and anticipation. He said to himself, “This little sister of mine just vanished for over ten thousand years. She’s finally reappeared now. I wonder where she’s gone off to during all these years.”
“Master, will you be returning now?” the three old men said at the same time.
Jian Chen was immediately left quite shocked when he saw that.
Three Immortal Exalts of such strength actually demonstrated such respect and humility towards Daowei Chengqing, which was truly unbelievable.
That was because all Immortal Exalts were ancestors of extremely lofty status in all peak organisations. Even during the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ prime, it was no different. Apart from when they faced Grand Exalts, basically no one, no background, could make them show such humility.
Yet right now, something extremely unbelievable actually occurred with Daowei Chengqing.
“Since Jing’er has returned, I obviously have to see her,” said Daowei Chengqing.
After saying that, a special presence suddenly permeated the ninth floor of the sacred land, immediately filling the entire space.
When the presence appeared, everyone was immediately reinvigorated. A cool sensation filled their souls.
“Stainless Qi!” Jian Chen’s eyes immediately lit up brightly as he subconsciously looked over.
All he saw was a wisp of white gas above the only stone pillar, fading in and out. It was like a little fairy, circling around the pillar a few times, sometimes vanishing into thin air with nothing to be seen and sometimes appearing before them all, clearly visible.
Jian Chen was about to capture the Stainless Qi subconsciously when Daowei Chengqi opened his hand, directly extending it towards the Stainless Qi.
Immediately, the space on the entire ninth floor turned pitch-black. All of the light and colour was annihilated. As Daowei Chengqing extended his hand, it was like the splitting of the heavens from the earth, throwing the ways into disorder before any laws or order had taken shape.
Jian Chen narrowed his eyes. At that moment, he could sense that his control over all of the ways had become difficult. His battle prowess was severely affected.
Just by reaching out, Daowei Chengqing seemed to shatter all of the laws, sending the entire space into a chaotic, orderless state.
“This person is so powerful!” Jian Chen was secretly startled. This was the first time he had witnessed Daowei Chengqing take action. Just a casual extension of his arm actually left him breathless.
However, in a single instant, the orderless state of chaos returned to usual. Daowei Chengqing had already withdrawn his hand. He gripped the Stainless Qi firmly in his hand.
“It’s fate for you and me to meet here, so I’ll give this strand of Stainless Qi to you.” Daowei Chengqing passed the Stainless Qi over to Jian Chen easily. “You better not turn me down. If you turn me down, then that would be tarnishing my reputation.”
Daowei Chengqing had already said that, so Jian Chen obviously could not turn him down. After thanking him, he accepted the Stainless Qi decisively.
“Let’s go!” Afterwards, Daowei Chengqing was directly sent out by the power of the Observance Heaven City with the three old men.
“Sigh, I didn’t imagine that in just one hundred thousand years, even the three of them have reached such a realm of cultivation. Just what kind of fortuitous encounter did the crown prince of the Waymight clan receive in the Hole of Reincarnation?” Jiang Pingtian cried out, unable to remain calm.
“Senior Jiang, who are the three old men?” Jian Chen asked sternly. He had already sensed earlier that the three old men whose strength were nightmarish were actually completely subservient to Daowei Chengqing.
They were Immortal Exalts after all, and much more than just regular Immortal Exalts too!
“The three of them are servants that Daowei Chengqing found and accepted in a place of war when he wandered the Immortals’ World in the past. The three of them did not possess any astounding talent. In the past, it even took Daowei Chengqing a few precious heavenly resources and many years before the three of them reached Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal.”
“Before Daowei Chengqing reincarnated, the three of them were only Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal. They possessed no renown in the Immortals’ World. If it were not for the fact that their master’s reputation was just too great, no one would even pay any attention to them.”
“Afterwards, when Daowei Chengqing underwent reincarnation, no one paid any more attention to the three of them. They faded out of public view. I didn’t expect the three of them to actually have reached such heights upon meeting them again today. How unbelievable.”
Jiang Pingtian sighed in amazement. After meeting the three old men, he was deeply impacted as well.
