Chapter 133: The Third Protagonist in Focus
As Ji Mingxiu and Mo Yu stepped out of the grand entrance of the Purple Heaven Grand Hall, the stationed disciples of the Purple Heaven Holy Land immediately erupted into ecstatic cheers upon seeing them.
"Ah, the Holy Lord has graced us with his presence!" one disciple shouted in awe.
"And the Supreme Elders, along with other high-ranking Elders, are all here too!" added another, his eyes gleaming with admiration.
Together, the disciples bowed deeply, their hearts swelling with joy and honor at the sight of these revered figures.
Wearing a satisfied smile, Ji Mingxiu gestured downward with both hands, instantly quieting the bustling plaza to the point where a pin drop could be heard.
"Today," he announced, his voice resonating with authority and solemnity, "as we gather for the grand assembly of the Purple Heaven Holy Land, we have two pivotal announcements."
Getting straight to the point, Ji Mingxiu declared, "The first matter is this: I have chosen Jiang Chen as my direct disciple!" He then turned his gaze back to the entrance of the Purple Heaven Grand Hall and commanded, "Step forward, Jiang Chen!"
As Ji Mingxiu’s words rang out, the previously calm plaza instantly erupted into fervent excitement.
"Jiang Chen!" a disciple exclaimed. "That’s the prodigy who teleported here just yesterday from the Starry Abyss Sect in the Everflowing Truth Northern Domain!"
"Exactly, that’s him!" another disciple confirmed, his voice tinged with awe. "It’s rumored that he’s only twenty years old and has already reached the Late-stage of the Heavenly Origin realm!"
"What’s incredible is that he achieved this under the harsh conditions of the Everflowing Truth Northern Domain! If he had been cultivating in our Purple Heaven Holy Land, he might have reached the Late-stage Heavenly Origin realm by the age of ten!"@@@@
"From what I’ve heard, there’s much more to this prodigy, Jiang Chen, than just an impressive cultivation base! He’s no underdog when it comes to combat prowess. He defeated Rong Liangcai, an older-generation disciple at the Late-stage Heavenly Origin realm, with just one move!"
"One move! It makes me wonder if Jiang Chen’s combat power has reached the Inquiring Journey realm!"
"I’d say if he hasn’t fully reached the Inquiring Journey realm, he’s certainly on the verge. He’s truly formidable! No wonder the Holy Lord wants to take him under his wing!"
"I’d say only Jiang Chen has the qualifications for the Holy Lord to personally make an exception and accept him as a disciple. Even Fang Yuan at his peak didn’t receive such an honor!"
"Stop talking and look, Jiang Chen is stepping out—oh my, he’s incredibly handsome, truly captivating!"
"Ah, I wish I could become Lady Jiang!"
In the plaza, the disciples continued their animated conversations, their faces reflecting their astonishment and admiration.
As Jiang Chen appeared, the female disciples in the crowd were instantly charmed, their eyes sparkling like distant stars at the sight of him.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Chen walked gracefully to Ji Mingxiu’s side. He first saluted Ji Mingxiu, then respectfully bowed to the other high-ranking officials, and finally nodded to all the disciples in the square.
Learning that Fang Yuan hadn’t truly lost his original cultivation base in the Heavenly Origin realm, but had only temporarily regressed to the Late-stage of the Spiritual Awakening realm, Jiang Chen wasn’t really surprised.
What truly caught his interest was Fang Yuan’s Heavenly Fate Value. ’Astonishingly, it’s nearing twenty thousand,’ he mused. ’Now I’m intrigued. What kind of heaven-defying trump card does Fang Yuan have up his sleeve...’
Jiang Chen decided internally, ’Let’s see if there’s something unusual about him.’ With that thought, his gaze furtively began to scan Fang Yuan thoroughly.
From the beginning, when he learned about Fang Yuan’s story, he felt it was all too familiar. Now, seeing the protagonist in person, he wanted to confirm if the conjecture swirling in his mind was correct.
Quickly, Jiang Chen’s attention zeroed in on a ring adorning Fang Yuan’s right hand. The ring looked incredibly antique, featuring a design unlike any Jiang Chen had seen before. ’There’s something fishy about this ring,’ he thought, his eyes narrowing with suspicion.
’Did I really guess correctly?’ Jiang Chen wondered, his heart skipping a beat. ’Could there be an old man’s residual soul hidden within that artifact, secretly guiding the protagonist towards immense power?’
Despite finding the idea almost unbelievable, he still attempted to focus his Villain Eye on the ring.
Suddenly, an event occurred that left Jiang Chen completely astounded as two information panels unexpectedly materialized before his eyes!
Jiang Chen stared in disbelief at the first information panel, which read:
[Name: Nangong Wan
Realm: Early-stage Soul Refining (Previously Peak-stage Void Tribulation)
Status: Heroine (Unpursued)
Intimacy: 0 (Indifferent)
Fate Value: 16368]
His gaze then shifted to the second panel that appeared:
[Name: Shangguan Ning
Realm: Early-stage Soul Refining (Previously Peak-stage Void Tribulation)
Status: Heroine (Unpursued)
Intimacy: 0 (Indifferent)
Fate Value: 15996]
