Chapter 474 - 474: Earth Walker’s Congratulations, Demon
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
The gathering included prominent cultivators from the Liang, Yun, and Yan nations.
As midday approached, a powerful earthy yellow sword light suddenly streaked across the sky towards Mount Mystic Tai. Its formidable aura was beyond anything a Golden Core cultivator could emanate, shocking all the cultivators already at Mount Mystic Tai.
Who could this mighty figure be? A sense of solemnity spread among everyone.
At that moment, two figures appeared before the crowd. They were Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, the protagonists of this state-establishing ceremony.
They watched the approaching sword light with a hint of a smile. Both flew up to greet the light, clasping their fists from afar, “So it is Daoist Earth Walker. You must be travel-worn. We apologize for coming out to receive you sooner.”
“Hahaha!”
A hearty laugh echoed in the air.
As the two sides drew closer, the earthy yellow light dissipated, revealing the familiar figure of Earth Walker. He greeted them with a smile, “I come to convey congratulations on behalf of the Hidden Sword Palace and Senior Brother Xuan Yang on your state-establishing.”
He then presented a six-sided crystal emitting an ancient aura.
“This is?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes narrowed when they saw Earth Walker’s item.
Earth Walker nodded, “This is a Level 5 Eternal Heaven Crystal. I heard your family was seeking information about it. It should be useful to you, so please accept it as my congratulatory gift.”
This gift was extraordinarily precious, especially since it was precisely what Jiang Chengxuan needed most urgently.
This was really difficult for him to reject.
Jiang Chengxuan cupped his fists at Earth Walker with a solemn expression.
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Earth Walker and Senior Xuan Yang.
This item is indeed of great use to us, so we will accept it without reservation.
Earth Walker smiled and nodded.
He immediately handed the Eternal Heaven Crystal to Jiang Chengxuan.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan led Earth Walker to the main seat.
On the way, Earth Walker sent a voice transmission to the two of them.
He told them that the reason why Perfected Lord Xuan Yang did not come personally this time round was to restrain the Golden Wolf Demon Emperor. At the same time, he also reminded Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan that even if the Golden Wolf Demon Emperor couldn’t personally come to trouble them, its subordinates might not be as well-behaved. He hoped they would be mentally prepared in advance.
If anything happened, as the spokesperson of the Hidden Sword Palace and Perfected Lord Xuan Yang, he would definitely not stand by and do nothing.
The meaning was obvious.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan felt deeply moved, knowing their achievements wouldn’t have been possible without Perfected Lord Xuan Yang’s overt and covert support.
They expressed their gratitude and assured Earth Walker that they could handle any Demon Emperor barring the Golden Wolf himself.
Soon, everyone took their seats, and the ceremony began. Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan stood up, facing the sacrificial altar and solemnly recited the oaths.
Upon finishing, they soared into the sky and, using the Level 5 spiritual vein of Mount Mystic Tai and their Dharmic power, began to draw the state-establishing seal in mid-air.
As they traced the outline of the seal, everyone present could clearly feel that, as if guided by an unseen force, a thick divine aura was beginning to converge onto that seal
The entire vast Cangnan region seemed to be subtly trembling.
In many places, previously broken or disconnected areas miraculously began to rejoin
Between heaven and earth, it seemed that a magnificent force was rapidly gathering, leaving everyone awe-struck.
“Is this the true might of establishing a state?” they wondered, feeling insignificant in the presence of such might.
They realized that witnessing such an event would deepen their understanding of the Dao and greatly benefit their cultivation.
It felt as if that immense force only needed a gentle press, and the Violet Palaces and Golden Cores would be instantly crushed into dust
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Just as the seal was about to be completed, a blinding white light burst forth, and scenes from all over the Cangnan region flashed by. There were scenes of mountains, rivers, plains, marshes, forests, and a myriad of other landscapes. These images transformed into colorful lights converging on the seal, intensifying its brilliance.
At this crucial moment, three terrifying demonic auras surged from afar, devouring the brightness and darkening the sky in a matter of seconds. Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s expressions hardened, and the Golden Core cultivators below showed terror. Unexpectedly, demon beasts had come to interfere.
Moreover, judging from the aura, they were obviously three Demon Emperors.
Earth Walker stood up from his seat.
His expression was grave as he observed the three figures shrouded in thick demonic Qi
Amidst the rolling demonic Qi, three figures were a huge black civet with nine tails on its back, a green flood dragon that was more than 5,00 feet long, and a golden eagle with swiring wind around its body.
Among the three demon emperors, other than Nine-tailed Civet, who did not have the bloodline of an ancient divine beast, Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor and Golden-Winged Demon Emperor all had the bloodline of an ancient divine beast.
Moreover, the cultivation levels of the two demon emperors had both reached the mid-stage of level 5, equivalent to mid-stage Nascent Soul. They were much stronger than Nine-tailed Civet and the Black Wind the couple had slaughtered previously.
However, even the Nine-tailed Civet was not an existence that was easy to deal with.
It was said that the nine tails on its back represented its nine lives.
Unless you cut off all nine tails on its back, it was almost impossible to kill it. They did not expect the Golden Wolf Demon Emperor to think so highly of them. This time, it actually sent out two demon emperors with the bloodline of ancient divine beasts, and they were even at the mid-stage of level 5-
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at each other.
At this moment, Earth Walker’s voice transmission suddenly sounded.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Shen, quickly complete the last step of establishing the state.
As for the three Demon Emperors, I’ll temporarily stop them.”
Transforming into a yellow sword light, Earth Walker charged towards the Demon Emperors.
Seeing that, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn’t refuse.
Although they did not know Earth Walker’s strength very well, However, they knew that Earth Walker was best at defense. With his ability, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to stall for a while. The most important thing now was to complete the last step of the state-establishing proccess..
