Chapter 883 Taihe, Taikun, Taimiao_2
"We welcome the Ancestor!"
The Jiang Clan Leader and the Great Elders, each of them kneeling on the ground.
A majestic voice came from the statue, "The Domain is about to undergo some changes, once the Heavenly Ladder appears, there will be people descending into the Divine Realm, prepare yourselves."
"Yes, Ancestor!"
The Jiang Clan Leader and others said, their expressions filled with excitement.
"Now, what is the current situation in the Divine Realm, report everything."
"Yes, Ancestor!"
The Jiang Clan Leader and the Great Elders began to recount the changes in the Divine Realm, including the turmoil and the machinations of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow behind the scenes.
In the end, the Jiang Clan Leader said, "Reporting to the Ancestor, our Jiang Family has a rebellious junior, named Jiang Buping, who once had his Divine Soul tainted by Imperishable Qi. For some unknown reason, he did not lose his mind and has since recovered. His strength is far superior to others in the same realm, for he slays Immortal Realm Warriors with ease..."
"Oh, is that so?"
The voice from the statue sounded slightly surprised, then continued, "In that case, there might be a Supreme Sovereign hidden in the Divine Realm who resolved the Imperishable Qi for him, but why target the offspring of our Jiang Clan?
"According to what you say, Jiang Buping is exceedingly talented and attracted attention, which is somewhat understandable. You should handle this matter on your own, and as for the Supreme Sovereign behind him..."
Pausing for a moment, the statue's voice continued, "Supreme Sovereigns should not be offended lightly. Once the Heavenly Ladder opens, there will naturally be someone to speak with them. Before that happens, weigh your actions carefully."
The Jiang Clan Leader and others showed a trace of alarm. Even the Ancestor did not wish to rashly offend this so-called Supreme Sovereign?
But it seemed not that they could not offend, but rather they should judge based on the situation.
"Yes, Ancestor!"
The Jiang Clan Leader and others said respectfully.
"Ancestor, what is a Supreme Sovereign?"
The Great Elder of the Jiang Clan couldn't help but ask.
"The Supreme Sovereign Realm of Martial Arts," the voice from the statue stated flatly.
Then, it added another sentence, "Above the Immortal Realm is Heavenly Union, and above that is Divine Venerate. The realm for Divine Venerates in Martial Arts is the Divine Venerate Realm, and above Divine Venerate Realm lies the Supreme Sovereign Realm."
The Jiang Clan Leader and others were profoundly shocked. They only knew that above the Immortal Realm was the Heavenly Union Realm, but the realms beyond that had been unknowable to them.
In the past, the Ancestors never spoke of this, instructing them to simply focus on their cultivation, and when the time came, they would ascend the Heavenly Ladder and leave the Divine Realm.
Today, the Ancestor had actually answered this question. It must be that the Domain was about to undergo significant changes for them to reveal the answer.
"Heavenly Union is easy to achieve, Divine Venerate is difficult to climb, and Supreme Sovereign is even rarer, one in tens of thousands. As for what is above a Supreme Sovereign, there is no need for you to know. The entire Domain can count them on one's fingers."
After the voice from the statue finished speaking, it said: "That will suffice, make your decisions carefully, do not act rashly!"
"Yes, Ancestor!"
The glow of the statue disappeared, and the opened eyes closed. The trace of consciousness that had descended was gone.
The Jiang Clan Leader and others exchanged glances, all wearing grave expressions; they realized they needed to be cautious in dealing with Jiang Buping.
"What was the result of the attempt to kill Jiang Buping?"
The Jiang Clan Leader regained the dignity of the leader of the clan and asked in a deep voice.
"No news has come back yet!"
The Great Elder shook his head.
Looking to the Clan Leader, he said solemnly, "Jiang Buping will surely come to the Taikun Realm to demand an explanation. Jiang Tianming is undoubtedly a marked man. Do you, Clan Leader, intend to use all the clan's power to protect Jiang Tianming?"
The other Elders, too, watched the Clan Leader in silence.
Jiang Tianming, the Clan Leader's third son, was greatly favored and exceedingly talented.
However, now Jiang Buping's displayed talent surpassed even that, and Jiang Buping was also this Clan Leader's son, albeit born of a concubine and originally not shown favor.
It was only because of his extraordinary talent that the Elders decided to bring him back to the family, offering him the treatment of a genius. Who knew Jiang Tianming along with Yun Yan'er would plot against Jiang Buping behind his back.
The Great Elder personally investigated and, finding Jiang Buping broken, said no more, allowing him to be expelled.
Now, the Taikun outcast had risen dramatically, humiliating the Jiang Clan. Countless powers and mighty beings throughout the Divine Realm were waiting to ridicule them.
The rumour that Jiang Buping had been tainted by Imperishable Qi yet came out unscathed was spread by Jiang Tianming and Yun Yan'er. Without the tacit approval or even encouragement of this Clan Leader, it would have been impossible to reach this point.
Furthermore, several Elders and experts from the Yun Shang Sect were involved in the attempted killing of Jiang Buping this time.
Stay connected with empire
Clearly, Jiang Tianming was scared and sought outside forces, attempting to have Jiang Buping killed.
And the Clan Leader was obviously protecting Jiang Tianming, hence adopted an acquiescent attitude.
The Jiang Clan Leader looked at the Great Elder and others. Use all the clan's power to protect Jiang Tianming?
"We'll discuss it once there's an outcome to the battle."
The Jiang Clan Leader said indifferently.
"The Divine Realm is in chaos, and the Domain has undergone great changes. How can our Jiang Clan continue its legacy?" I hope the clan leader will think thrice!"
After the Great Elder spoke, he took large strides and left.
Within the Royal Family of the Da Yan Dynasty in the Da Yan Realm, the Emperor of Da Yan and several royal powerhouses were also awaiting instructions.
In the Taimiao Realm, within the Taimiao God Sect, an internal struggle had come to an end, with several elders of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable Realm successively falling.
At this moment, in a small garden at the core of the back mountain of the Taimiao God Sect, several present-day sect leaders entered this small garden.
Xin Mengrou was also among this group of people.
With her strength, she normally did not qualify to enter here, but because the Cultivation Technique she practiced was so special, she held an extraordinary status and thus was exceptionally allowed to come here.
"This is?"
Upon seeing the colorful and enchanting small courtyard, Xin Mengrou's heart trembled.
For a moment, she couldn't distinguish whether this was real or illusion.
After entering the small courtyard and under the Sect Master's leadership, they came to the base of an elegant pavilion.
"Greetings to the Upper Sect's envoy!"
The Taimiao Sect Master bowed respectfully.
The elegant pavilion, whose doors had been tightly shut, opened.
Upon entering the pavilion, Xin Mengrou glanced around hurriedly and noticed that inside the pavilion, there was only one seated statue.
The statue of the pure white and unearthly beautiful woman seemed both real and imaginary, exuding an elusive yet tangibly existing strange sensation.
The Taimiao Sect Master was the first to prostrate himself before the statue.
Seeing this, Xin Mengrou also hastily bowed down.
The statue's eyes seemed to come alive, looking over, and for some reason, Xin Mengrou felt that the statue's gaze seemed to be watching her.
"The strife of Taimiao is over. Whether it's the Illusionary Path or the Supreme Sovereign Path, they are all ultimately the Way of Taimiao. From today onward, there will be no infighting, and as people of the same sect, you should unite and defend against external enemies together."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The statue's voice came, cold and clear.
"Yes!"
The Taimiao Sect Master and the others hastened to respond with a stern expression.
Then, the Taimiao Sect Master reported on the matters of the Divine Realm and the issue of infiltration by the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, finally introducing the current situation of the Taimiao Illusionary Path.
"Heavenly Slaughter's reach is too extended, eliminate them."
The statue's voice was cold, showing no emotion.
"Yes!"
Next, the statue's gaze fell upon Xin Mengrou.
"The Taimiao Sect of the Divine Realm hasn't had such a talented cultivator of the Illusionary Path for a very long time. You are very impressive. From today, you shall take charge of the Taimiao Illusionary Path."
Xin Mengrou was startled, and hurriedly said respectfully, "Disciple's strength is insignificant, I am not worthy of..."
"You will seclude yourself here for some time, and I will guide you a little. You will be able to break through to the Immortal Realm soon. The Illusionary Path, after all, differs slightly from the normal Martial Arts Cultivation."
"Yes, thank you, envoy!"
Xin Mengrou was inwardly delighted and replied respectfully.
The Taimiao Sect Master and the others were all surprised. especially the current head of the Taimiao Illusionary Path who was even more astonished.
Could it be that Xin Mengrou's talent was even more extraordinary than she had anticipated, thus making her be favored by the envoy and directly appointed as the head of the Illusionary Path?
However, with Xin Mengrou taking charge of the Illusionary Path, especially as appointed by the envoy who was also prepared to personally instruct her, it was undoubtedly great news for the declining Illusionary Path.
Once the Taimiao Sect Master and others had left and only Xin Mengrou remained in the pavilion, a woman's phantom stepped out from the statue.
She was like a dream, extremely unreal, yet irresistibly mesmerizing.
Xin Mengrou did not dare look too much, standing with her head bowed respectfully.
"The Illusionary Path you practice is slightly different. Do you have any other insights?"
The woman asked curiously.
"A senior once gave me some guidance, hence the slight insights," Xin Mengrou replied respectfully.
"Is that so? What is the name of the senior you speak of?"
"I do not know!"
"I shall meet this senior you speak of if there is a chance, to see who they are that could guide my Illusionary Path."
Xin Mengrou bowed her head, her heart pounding fiercely. Could this woman be the founder of the Taimiao Illusionary Path, the Ancestor of Taimiao?
