Chapter 1346
The Yancheng was still as calm as ever and nothing had happened.
An Zheng stood at the highest level of the stone tower by the lake in Weiyang Academy, and looked at the faint ripples on Weiyang Lake. The ripples on the surface of the water were just on the surface, and under Weiyang Lake, everything was calm and peaceful.
But An Zheng could not be at peace, at least not at peace.
Now that so many great powers had all come, the Nine Saint Sect was not even worth mentioning. However, this world was so big, and there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the cultivators. An Zheng was very clear on one thing, the goal of the Martial Arts Conference had long since changed for him.
The human world needed a leader. It needed a leader.
The Martial Arts Conference was originally a competition between the disciples of various powers. They were to select the most outstanding young people and obtain the resources provided by the various powers. In the past, the Martial Arts Conference would always fight until their heads bled because every single youth would dream of such an opportunity. Once they obtained it, they would not be willing to let it go even if they had to fight to the death.
Gu Chaotong stood behind An Zheng and said in a low voice: “According to the past rules of the Martial Arts Conference, the person who gets first place will each receive a secret treasure oop-level cultivation technique from one of the four sects’ three Monarchs. This was too much of an attraction, and to those young people, it was simply impossible to resist. If a young man were to obtain the top-tier cultivation techniques of the seven great powers, then as long as he is alive, he will rise above others in just a few decades. ”
“But.”
Gu Chaotong glanced at An Zheng: “What this subordinate has always suspected is that this irap set up by the Immortal Palace in order to eliminate the elites of the young cultivators. Why was the Martial Arts Conference always presided over by people from the immortal palace? Hadn’t the immortal palace always disdained the cultivators of the Mortal Realm? This subordinate shall make a guess. The Immortal Palace simply sent someone here to see which among these people is the most outstanding. ”
“On the surface, the young man who took first place will definitely receive the rewards from the four sects’ three Monarchs, and in order to express fairness, the rewards will definitely not be fake. But, this subordinate investigated a bit … ”
Gu Chaotong flipped open a booklet: “According to this subordinate’s investigations, the year that I can trace it to is not too short. Hundreds of years ago, the first place in Martial Arts Conference had records of it, and this record is in Ning Xiaolou’s storage room. “According to this record, your subordinate has sent someone to investigate the fate of all those who took first place in the past few hundred years …”
An Zheng nodded his head, “Of course they’re all dead.”
“Yes …” They were all dead, and all of them had died in an inexplicable manner, yet it was perfectly reasonable. Because the rewards they received were too enticing, more than half of the people who left the Martial Arts Conference were killed on the way and the rewards they obtained were unknown. A portion of the people were cautious and avoided the interception and pursuit of the Martial Arts Conference. However, for the next few years, none of them escaped. ”
An Zheng acknowledged: “Four Sect’s three monarchs, how could they possibly allow the treasure in their hands to fall into the hands of an outsider? Even if the people from the immortal palace did not intervene, the people from the Four Sect’s three monarchs would definitely not let them off. In the entire nine prefectures of the world, this was only the Jizhou … Among the four sects and three monarchs of the Jizhou, Nine Saint Sect is not even worth mentioning, and he was killed by me. What was left were the Kaiyuan Temple, the Red Cloud Valley, and the Swordlock Pavilion. Amongst the three Monarchs, only Mo Yang Jun, Li Moyang, and East Pavilion Jun, Le Shang Xiao, remained. If nothing unexpected happened, the heads of these five great forces had arrived at Yancheng. The reason they never visited me was because they all felt that I wouldn’t be able to live much longer. ”
Gu Chaotong said: “This subordinate has already sent people to spread the news that the’s Nine Saints have been killed by the sect master.
An Zheng said: “No matter who it is, they all say that I’m injured and that I don’t want to see guests.”
Gu Chaotong said: “This subordinate has already given such instructions.”
An Zheng said: “Your thoughts are very meticulous, I am at ease.”
Gu Chaotong remained silent for a while, before asking, “Sect Master, do we fight for the leadership of the Jizhou? In the entire Land of the Nine Prefectures, the Jizhou s were only one of a kind. And amongst the Nine Regions, the Jizhou s weren’t the biggest, they were only ranked in the middle ranks. The Mortal Realm needs a leader. Only with a leader can we truly fight against the Immortal Palace. ”
An Zheng laughed, “That’s right, I had no intentions of doing so at first, but since the situation has turned out this way, I won’t hypocritically say that I don’t want to fight for it. I am not a man without desires or desires. What I ask for is great. So, if we want to fight, we must not only fight for the leader of the Jizhou, but also for the leader of the Nine Provinces. ”
“A dangerous road.”
Gu Chaotong said worriedly: “I’m afraid every expert in the Nine Prefectures has thoughts of competing for the leader position in the Nine Prefectures. However, after all these years, no one dared to use this banner. The reason they didn’t dare to utter these words was because they were afraid that the immortal palace would target them. If anyone cried out these words, the immortal palace would immediately erase them. Think about it, to even erase the number one selected by the Jizhou, let alone the number one in the Nine Regions? ”
“Others do not dare to do this, so I do it. I’ve told you a lot, and you know almost as much as I do. So, you should be very clear, if the human world is still so chaotic, and the immortal palace’s control over the human world is still so terrifying, then when that faceless weirdo reappears in the future, no one can stop him. At least, there was me, Xiao Bai, and Purple Ivy back then, when I was at my peak. It can also change the time to delay the disaster for tens of thousands of years … And now? With Xuan-Yuan’s strength, he is simply not a match for faceless weirdo. ”
However, people like Qing Lian and Xuan-Yuan, they do not know what will happen in the future. Even if they did, they would not allow you to become the number one person in the Nine Regions, the leader of the mortal world who can contend with the Immortal Palace. Their sights were too short, even the immortal emperors were the same. They stood aigh position and weren’t far from where they were standing … (TL: Immortal-Emperor means Immortal Emperor-Emperor = Immortal-Emperor = Immortal-Emperor = Immortal-Emperor = Immortal-Emperor = Immortal-Emperor = Immortal-Emperor = Immortal-Emperor = Immortal-Emperor = They will naturally think of a way to deal with the future, but once you’re allowed to grow up, that will be a direct threat to them. ”
An Zheng nodded, “You are right. They are worried about the future, but more worried about the present. As immortal emperors, they definitely sensed something. However, they felt that they were still far away from this place, so they were not worried at all. (TL: Immortal-Emperor = Immortal-Emperor = Immortal-Emperor = Immortal-Emperor = Immortal-Emperor = Immortal-Emperor = Immortal-Emperor = Immortals) For them to be like this, let alone Li Moyang and the others, there was no need to talk about Li Moyang and Le Shang Xiao. Some people said thaine Saint Sect could make ten thousand miles worth of corpses lie in wait, while a Red Cloud Valley could make a Jizhou without any people. Swordlock Pavilion is a little fair and square in his actions, but after so many years of following the path of mediocrity, he has long since lost the will to resist the Immortal Palace. ”
“The Kaiyuan Temple is a unique existence. It can be considered a branch of the Buddhist Sect in the Jizhou, but unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the Buddhist Sect in the Western Regions. There were even some enmity between the native Buddhist Sect and Buddhist Sect in the Western Regions. However, the Kaiyuan Temple was the same as the Buddhist Sect in the Western Regions, they cultivated wholeheartedly regardless of external affairs. The people of the Mizar Temple could not be comrades. Fortunately, they would not become enemies. Amongst the remaining forces, the Kai Yuan Temple was the most uncertain. Speaking from cultivation level, Ning Xiaolou was the weakest out of the three Monarchs. After all, he had inherited the title of monarch, and was troubled by trivial matters, so he did not have the time to meditate and cultivate. His father left very suddenly, the old Bai Shengjun suddenly passed away, and he has yet to have any achievements in cultivation to accept this position. ”
“According to the rumors, the strongest person among the four sects’ three Monarchs is the one under the control of the Mizar Temple, but this person is completely at peace with the world. Next was Mo Yangjun, Li Moyang, and then Dongting Hall’s Jun, Le Shang Xiao. It had been a few hundred years since the pavilion master of the Swordlock Pavilion showed up in the martial arts world. Red Cloud Valley has seven strange people as its leader. The Valley Master’s strength is not comparable to the other few great figures. However, the Seven Stars Red Cloud Formation that the seven of them cultivate is rumored to be unbreakable. ”
An Zheng stood at the window and looked outside, his expression calm: “Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy is the best. To us, this world is a different world. In the beginning, I thought I must adapt to this world as soon as possible. But now, it seems, we can’t get used to it. This is because the people of this era do not allow us to adapt. “Then we only have one way left. Since we can’t adapt to it, we might as well change it.”
An Zheng turned around and looked at Gu Chaotong, “Gather all the spies from the Heavenly Awakening Sect s, investigate everything about East Pavilion Jun, Le Shang Xiao, Mo Yang Jun, Li Moyang, Red Cloud Valley, and Kai Yuan Temple thoroughly. I want to know these people’s weaknesses in the shortest time possible … It’s not the weakness of the leaders of these powers, but the weakness of these sects. ”
Gu Chaotong lowered his head and said: “This subordinate had sent someone to investigate this matter not long after arriving. After gathering the information that I have received, we installed half a room. The subordinate guessed that the Martial Arts Conference would be held in a few more days. It was postponed again and again, but it would still open in the end. These days, his subordinate had personally combed through the complicated information and come up with something of value. Sect Master, please give me one more day, I will be able to sort out all of this information. ”
An Zheng slightly curled the corner of his mouth: “The luckiest thing is, I have you all to help me.”
Gu Chaotong said: “For you, the world is a big matter. “It’s just a small matter. We’ll just be subordinates and do it.”
An Zheng patted Gu Chaotong’s shoulder, “Jizhou is just one of the Nine Prefectures, so I don’t just need to be number one here. Once we become number one in the Nine Prefectures, we will be able to directly fight against the immortal palace. I want to establish an order for the cultivators in the Mortal Realm in the shortest time possible. I can’t save all the living beings in this world by myself, what I can do is to let all the living beings in this world gather together, that power … “He will be invincible.”
At the same time.
Inside the Yancheng, inside Celestial Sovereign’s Yang Ji’s room, Mo Yangjun said as he looked at Yang Ji, “Looks like this An Zheng hauge map … What he wants shouldn’t be the first among the disciples of Martial Arts Conference, he also doesn’t want the top-grade treasures that we fake, he wants the entire Jizhou. This time, Martial Arts Conference is no longer a small dispute between disciples … ”
Yang Ji’s eyes grew cold. “Jizhou first? You have underestimated An Zheng... ”
He stood up and walked to the window, “I’m really looking forward to it. How long has it been? “The Mortal Realm has finally formed someone whose ambitions can’t even be contained in the Mortal Realm.”
