Chapter 319 – Earthbound Sword Monarch’s Compliments, Demon Emperor’s Attack
Just as the crowd in the arena was secretly envious and jealous of Hou Dongbai’s words, Zheng Beilong, who was located in the crowd, nodded his head in agreement at this time.
“I think that Pavilion Master Hou’s words are reasonable, and I also ask the two True Monarchs to make sure that they consider the matter of establishing a state.”
At this moment, whoever was present could not remain calm.
At that moment, they spoke out one by one, all expressing their agreement with Hou Dongbai’s proposal, suggesting that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan should hold the matter of statehood on a certain day.
Just kidding, things have been said to this extent.
If they reacted any slower, wouldn’t they not even be able to drink the soup?
How can that be?
It was necessary to let the two True Lords see their attitude.
Let them understand that their attitude is definitely in support of their statehood.
Not only support, but also full support.
On one side, Jiang Renyi, Jiang Rendao, Jiang Anran, as well as Shen Yuanlong and the others, obviously also did not expect that this time, the matter would end up in such a situation.
This caused them to instantly and uncontrollably glance at each other.
From each other’s eyes, they all saw a touch of joy.
At that moment, the group of people likewise stopped hesitating and opened their mouths to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan:
“Please also ask Old Ancestor to proceed with the matter of establishing a state!
For my Cangnan Domain’s millions of human races, open up a peaceful and pure land!”
Indeed.
Although the matter of establishing a state was able to gather a large amount of human race’s qi and gain supreme authority.
But likewise, it was also a responsibility.
Since you can reap great benefits from it, you naturally need to pay something corresponding to the benefits gained.
And that something is guardianship.
Otherwise, under the disorganization of people’s hearts, even if it is the gathering of luck, there will be a day of dispersion.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan naturally knew the reasoning behind this.
At this moment, the two of them looked at the people present, and already had a decision in their hearts.
Then he saw Jiang Chengxuan slowly get up, his eyes looked at the people present, then he gently nodded his head and said:
“We have already understood your intentions.
Since building a state and establishing a country will be more beneficial to the development of my Cangnan Domain, and will better guard the safety of my human race, then my lady and I will agree to your proposal.
In one month’s time, my Cangnan Domain will officially hold its statehood ceremony at my Jiang family’s Taixuan Mountain.
At that time, please make sure that you and the others are there.”
As the words fell, the spirits of everyone present could not help but be shaken.
Immediately, they saw all of them bowing to receive the order and replied in a loud voice:
“We will follow your orders!”
Half a month later.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan appeared on Empty Cang Mountain.
At their sides, there were clearly Shen Yuanlong, Jiang Rendao, and Jiang Renyi.
At this moment, they heard Jiang Chengxuan say, “How is it? Have all those Demon Kings within 100,000 miles of my Empty Cang Mountain, as well as the third-order demonic beasts, been evacuated?”
The moment Jiang Chengxuan decided to establish a state, the Jiang family had already sent a message to all the demon races around the Empty Cang Mountain, ordering them to evacuate within half a month.
After all, the land that was once here was their human race’s territory.
Now that their Cangnan Domain is about to establish a state, it’s almost time to reclaim these lost territories.
At this moment, when the crowd present heard Jiang Chengxuan’s words, they all nodded.
“Just seven days ago, all the Demon Kings located within 100,000 miles of my Khong Cang Mountain as well as the third-ranked demonic beasts, have all been evacuated.
Only ……”
As the words came to this point, Jiang Renyi, who was the head of the Jiang Family, couldn’t help but hesitate slightly with his expression.
But in the end, he still spoke to Jiang Chengxuan:
“According to the news I received from the various sects’ side, the Nine Beaver Demon Emperor located on that Nine Demon Mountain seems to have made quite a few moves recently.
If the guesses are good, that Nine Beaver Demon Emperor will most likely come to my Cangnan Domain to cause trouble on the day we establish our state.”
“Nine Beaver Demon Emperor?”
Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes immediately narrowed.
If he remembered correctly, this Nine Beaver Demon Emperor, it seemed that along with that Black Wind Demon Emperor that he had killed, were both subordinates of that Golden Wolf Demon Emperor.
What? Was this trying to avenge its companion, the Black Wind Demon Emperor?
Or is it trying to use this matter to give the couple a warning?
If the target was changed to its master, the Golden Wolf Demon Emperor, there might still be that possibility.
As for it ……
It wasn’t that he, Jiang Chengxuan, was arrogant.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that back when he hadn’t broken through to YuanYing yet, he had more than 50% certainty that he would be able to take its life.
Even if it was the Nine Ravens Demon Emperor who was known as the number one in life preservation.
Now, it would be even more so.
If it really dared to come, then there was no choice but to use the blood of the hallowed Fifth Order Demon Emperor as a sacrifice for their statehood this time.
With half a month left, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn’t go anywhere.
The two of them just stayed on the Xuanming Peak of Mount Taixuan.
Meditating and drinking tea every day was quite leisurely.
In contrast, the group of Jiang and Shen family cultivators were quite busy.
All sorts of arrangements, preparations, and inviting guests from all sides.
In short, in these days, there was almost no one who was able to be idle.
Soon enough, the day came when the state was to be officially established.
The day had just dawned.
In all directions of their Jiang Family’s Tai Xuan Mountain, there was a trail of recluse lights sweeping in one after another.
Within a short period of time, the entire Tai Xuan Mountain had already gathered many cultivators from all directions.
Among them were the Jindan of the major sects of Liang, Yun, and Yan.
When the time was almost noon, in the distant sky, there was suddenly an extremely strong earth-yellow sword light that was rapidly flying towards the direction of their Taixuan Mountain.
Looking at the might emanating from that sword light, it was simply not something that a Jindan cultivator could possess.
This also made all the various cultivators on Tai Xuan Mountain feel a surge of shock in their hearts.
Just what kind of god was that person?
For no reason at all, everyone’s faces couldn’t help but show a touch of gravity.
However, it was at this moment that two figures suddenly appeared in the eyes of the crowd.
It was the protagonists of this statehood.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
At this moment, as they looked at the earth-colored sword light that was getting closer and closer, on their faces, they couldn’t help but both emerge with a smirk.
Only to see the two of them fly forward in unison, and cupped their fists remotely at that earth-colored sword light, saying:
“So it’s Fellow Daoist Earthwalker who came all the way here, it’s really a loss to welcome you from afar.”
“Hahaha!”
Within the sword light, a loud and cheerful laugh immediately came out.
When the two sides drew closer, the earth-colored sword light dispersed, and it really did reveal the familiar figure of the Earthbound Sword Monarch.
Only to see him smiling and cupping his fists to the two, he said:
“I have come here on behalf of my Hidden Sword Palace and Senior Brother Xuan Yang to congratulate you two on establishing the state.”
With that, he saw him raise his hand and flip it over.
A crystal that appeared in a hexagonal shape and emitted a pale and distant aura throughout its entire body appeared in the center of his palm.
“This is?”
Seeing this item that the Earthbound Sword Monarch had taken out, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes couldn’t help but both condense.
Then they saw the Earthbound Sword Monarch nodded with a smile and said, “Not bad, this item is a fifth-order Eternal Heavenly Crystal, earlier I saw that your family’s people, seemed to be prying for news about this item, so I thought that this item should be useful to you, so I’ll take it as a congratulatory gift from me this time.”
It had to be said that this congratulatory gift from the Earthbound Sword Monarch was really quite expensive.
Not to mention that this Eternal Heavenly Crystal was currently a spiritual item that he, Jiang Chengxuan, was in dire need of.
This really made it somewhat difficult for them to refuse.
At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but hold his fist to the Earthbound Swordsman with a rather solemn expression.
“Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Earthbound and your clan, as well as Senior Xuan Yang.
This item is indeed of great use to me, so in that case, I won’t be polite with you.”
“Just as it should be.”
The Earthbound Sword Monarch immediately nodded with a smile.
At that moment, he handed over that one Eternal Heavenly Crystal to Jiang Chengxuan.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, on the other hand, also led the Earthbound Sword Monarch and went to the main seat.
It was during this process that the Earthbound Sword Monarch couldn’t help but send a voice message to the two of them.
Telling them that the reason why True Lord Xuan Yang did not come in person this time, for the sake of, was to hold back that Golden Wolf Demon Emperor.
At the same time, he also reminded Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan that even if that Golden Wolf Demon Emperor was unable to come personally to find trouble with them, those of its subordinates would not be so peaceful, so he hoped that they would be able to mentally prepare themselves in advance.
If there were any accidents at that time, as the spokesperson of Hidden Sword Palace and True Lord Xuanyang this time, he would certainly not stand by and watch.
This meaning was already very obvious.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s hearts couldn’t help but both be a little moved.
To be honest, if they hadn’t had True Lord Xuanyang’s explicit or implicit protection along the way, I’m afraid it would have been difficult for them to achieve what they have today.
This favor was by no means something that could be said in a few words.
At that moment, they similarly transmitted their voices to the Earthbound Sword Monarch.
On the one hand, they were expressing their gratitude, and on the other hand, they were also telling the Earthbound Sword Monarch that as long as that Golden Wolf Demon Emperor didn’t personally come, those other ordinary Demon Emperors were no longer able to cause any trouble for them.
Soon, the three people in the group had all gone up to the main seat.
Waiting for the Grand Ceremony to officially begin.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who were the main protagonists of this statehood, rose at once.
The couple faced the altar of heavenly worship in front of them and began to recite the corresponding vows in earnest.
When both of them finished reciting the vows, the couple’s silhouettes rushed into the sky in unison, and then, with the help of the fifth-order spirit veins on Taixuan Mountain, they began to outline the statehood seal in the air using their own magic power.
Along with their outlining of the seal, everyone present could clearly feel that in the underworld, there seemed to be a channel of rich humane qi luck that began to converge towards that one seal.
Throughout the entire vast Cangnan Domain, the ground seemed to begin to faintly vibrate.
In many invisible places, the original broken or already not connected areas, actually magically rejoined.
Between heaven and earth, there seemed to be a brilliant momentum coalescing at a rapid pace.
On everyone’s faces, a touch of shock could not help but spread.
Was this the true momentum created by establishing a state?
It was really too incredible.
In front of this kind of great power, one’s self was as small as a mole cricket on the side of the road.
It was as if that great power only needed to be gently pressed down, and these so-called Jindan Purple Mansions of theirs would be instantly crushed into pieces.
However, it is undeniable that witnessing the birth of such a scene will undoubtedly deepen their Dao, as well as their understanding of heaven and earth.
As long as they were able to truly comprehend a trace of it, then for their future cultivation, it would have irreplaceable benefits.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Right at this moment, above that seal in the air, an extremely dazzling white light suddenly erupted.
A picture also flashed by rapidly.
All of them were scenes from various places within the Cangnan Domain.
Mountains and rivers, plains and swamps, jungles, birds and beasts, and so on and so forth.
In the end, all of these images turned into colorful light and shadows, and began to surge towards that one seal.
The light on the entire seal also became more and more eye-catching.
Seeing that it was about to be completed, right at this moment, in the distance, there were suddenly three extremely terrifying demonic qi surging forth.
The heavens and earth seemed to have instantly lost their colors at this moment, becoming dim.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes instantly condensed.
The crowd of Jindan Purple Mansions under the field, on the other hand, were horrified.
They never expected that at the most critical moment like the current one, there would be a fellow from the Demon Race coming.
And looking at the might of the other party, it was clearly the three Demon Emperors.
The Earthbound Sword Monarch also stood up from his position at this time.
As he looked at the three figures in the distance that were wrapped in a dense demonic aura, his face couldn’t help but show some gravity as well.
Only to see that within the rolling demonic qi, the three figures were a huge black civet cat with nine tails on its back, a green-colored scaly dragon with a body length of more than 500 feet, and a golden eagle with golden whirlwinds around its body and a hint of the golden-winged roc bloodline hidden within its body.
The three Demon Emperors, except for that Nine Ravens Demon Emperor who didn’t have the bloodline of an Ancient Divine Beast, the Green Jiao Demon Emperor and the Golden Winged Demon Emperor all possessed the bloodline of an Ancient Divine Beast in their bodies.
Moreover, the cultivation levels of the two Demon Emperors had all reached the mid-fifth stage.
That is, the human YuanYing middle stage.
Compared to that Nine Ravens Demon Emperor and the Black Wind Demon Emperor that Jiang Chengxuan had killed earlier, they were simply many times stronger.
Moreover, even that Nine Beaver Demon Emperor wasn’t that easy to deal with.
It was said that the nine tails behind it represented its nine lives.
Unless all nine tails behind it were chopped off, it would be almost impossible to kill it.
Unexpectedly, that Golden Wolf Demon Emperor, really looked up to them, and this time, he even directly sent out two Demon Emperors that had the bloodline of an ancient divine beast and were still at the mid-fifth stage realm.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but look at each other.
At that moment, they heard the voice transmission of the Earthbound Sword Monarch suddenly come through.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Shen, you guys quickly complete that final step of establishing a state.
As for those three Demon Emperors, I will be the one to fend them off for now.”
As he spoke, the figure of the Earthbound Sword Monarch had already transformed into an earth-colored sword light and met those three Demon Emperors.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not push back at that moment.
Although they didn’t particularly understand the strength of the Earthbound Sword Monarch.
However, they knew that this person, the Earthbound Sword Monarch, his best skill was defense.
They thought that with his ability, delaying him for a moment or three shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
As a matter of urgency, they still had to complete the final step of establishing the state.
