Volume 3 - Chapter 327: The Great Battle Begins - Part 2
At this moment, the Chu Emperor slightly cupped his hands in greeting.
Only then did everyone present learn the true name of the Chu Emperor.
“King of Chu, there’s no need for such courtesy.”
The figure seated upon the imperial throne spoke slowly. His voice was gentle, yet it resonated like thunder within the primordial chaos, making everyone feel a heavy weight upon their hearts, as if their Sea of Consciousness was rumbling.
This was the voice of an Emperor. Even a single phrase contained a profound Dao resonance, causing listeners to fall into fleeting illusions.
“It seems the destiny of Yan Chu has arrived. There are quite a few promising seedlings among this generation.”
The Emperor’s voice sounded again, this time with a note of praise.
The Chu Emperor smiled serenely and said, “Your Majesty overpraises them. They are but unrefined children. All of you, pay your respects to the Supreme Being.”
At his command, the royal family led the way, kneeling in reverence.
Except for the Chu Emperor himself, everyone else knelt like surging waves. Li Hao, seeing this, also followed the crowd in paying homage.
“Paying respects to the Supreme Being.”
Voices rang out, somewhat trembling and uneven, as they echoed together. The Supreme Being upon the throne waved a hand, and before them appeared a cluster of starlight. From it, emerald green rays of starlight shot forth.
These rays of starlight were like sweet dew, falling upon the assembled crowd and quickly seeping into their bodies. The immortal power within them felt as if it had been cleansed, receiving a small but noticeable boost.
Li Hao watched as the starlight merged into his body, sensing the abundant immortal power and unique laws of the Immortal Dao within it. Soon, his own immortal power grew a bit more refined and denser than before.
Li Hao’s eyes flickered—so this was the means of an Immortal Emperor. With a mere wave of his hand, he could enhance their cultivation.
For those at the level of Immortal Emperor, increasing one’s realm was as easy as eating or drinking. What was truly difficult was deepening one’s foundation.
Yet, this experience also made Li Hao realize that his immortal power could still be further compressed, meaning he had not yet reached the limit of the True Immortal Realm.
“The upcoming grand assembly will be a fierce contest between dragons and tigers. This small token is for you all. Each of you represents the hope of the Southern Domain’s future. I hope you will do your utmost and strive to earn a place in the Primordial True Realm.”
The Supreme Being’s voice was gentle and warm.
Simple words, yet they stirred the hearts of many of the young geniuses present, making their blood burn with excitement, as if they wished to declare an oath on the spot.
The Chu Emperor cupped his hands. “Many thanks for Your Majesty’s favor.”
“After such a long journey, let them rest first. Do not neglect these young talents of ours. King of Chu, you stay behind. It’s been a long time—we should catch up.”
The Supreme Being spoke.
The Chu Emperor cupped his hands. “I was thinking the same.”
Just then, a giant dragon coiled around an ancient bronze pillar soared into the air, transforming into a human form and addressing the crowd, “This way, please.”
The Chu Emperor gave a signal, and Chu Tianhuang understood, taking the lead to depart with the elder. The various elders and sect leaders of each sect followed after.
Once they exited the Celestial Palace, only then did the sense of fear and oppressive pressure begin to fade from everyone’s hearts, though the lingering awe remained, leaving them deeply shaken and with a subtle sense of devotion.
The giant dragon, outside the Celestial Palace, once again revealed its true form, leading the crowd away from the palace back to the ground. They stopped in a grand city tens of thousands of miles away.
“This is Yan City, prepared for you by the Supreme Being of Yan Chu.”
The giant dragon spoke, its voice booming and unconcealed, exuding its might.
The various sect leaders’ expressions shifted subtly. One after another, they released their own auras to shield their disciples.
The dragon meant no harm—he simply didn’t care to restrain his own presence. This left the elders and sect leaders feeling somewhat awkward, yet they dared not complain.
“Senior, may I ask when the Southern Domain Battle Assembly will begin?”
At the front, Chu Tianhuang’s expression shifted slightly before settling back to calm. His gaze was deep, with a faint golden vertical gleam in his eyes.
Within the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, they all usually restrained their auras, remaining modest and reserved. Yet here, continuing to suppress themselves would only make others look down on them. As a leader of the royal clan, he now chose to display a bit of his sharpness, unleashing the aura of a fourth-level Immortal Lord—a formidable presence indeed.
The giant dragon sensed Chu Tianhuang’s extraordinary nature but was not surprised. He simply replied, “It will be in seven days. Other immortal dynasties have not yet arrived, so you’ll need to wait a while longer.”
“In the meantime, don’t wander around, so as to avoid any unpleasant incidents before the assembly begins.”
“If you have any needs, seek out the city lord. He will be responsible for your living arrangements and cultivation matters in the coming days.”
With that, the giant dragon flicked his tail and soared away.
“These Dragon Scale Clan fellows are really arrogant,”
Beside the Great Dream Master, Yin Jingcheng muttered with some displeasure, his expression unhappy.
The Xuanyin Clan was also one of the hundred clans. Toward the Dragon Scale Clan, who were also one of the hundred clans, he felt no need to look up to them.
Seeing the giant dragon’s arrogance, he couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
“Say no more.”
