Chapter 1829: Imperial Jintian Clan
There were hegemon-like existences even in the Ancient Nebula Road!
Moreover, Hua Dian wasn’t an ordinary quasi-Emperor. He was the Grand Elder of Ziheng Star Field’s number-one sect and was famous throughout Ziheng Star Field.
Yet, he had kneeled on his own sect’s ship!
It was undoubtedly a humiliating matter that would deal a heavy blow to the Heavenly Sound Pavilion’s reputation.
“First, the Primordial Dao Court experts were killed and now quasi-Emperor Hua Dian was forced to kneel and beg for his life. The Heavenly Sound Pavilion has suffered a huge loss of prestige.”
Numerous people secretly sighed.
Some also gloated and wanted to see the Heavenly Sound Pavilion make a bigger fool of themselves.
“To have made a quasi-Emperor kneel and beg for mercy, that youngster must have an unimaginable identity.”Many people were alarmed by the incident. They began to pay attention to the hemp-clothed youth and tried to guess his identity. However, no one could be certain.
After, all they had was the name he had given the ship, ‘Little Nine.’
“The most terrifying part is that old woman with him. She’s likely an Emperor existence.”
Of course, the old woman accompanying the hemp-clothed youth garnered far more attention. After all, even a mighty quasi-Emperor like Hua Dian had no choice but to lower his head before her!
Someone objected, “Impossible. An Emperor could easily traverse the cosmos and the many worlds without help. How can such an existence possibly travel in a ship like us?”
It was common knowledge that Emperors were akin to supreme hegemons in the Ancient Nebula Road and were all-powerful!
If quasi-Emperors were unattainable existences in the people’s eyes, Emperors were almighty legends that could illuminate the cosmos!
Why would such existences need to travel on a ship?
“Moreover, since when have you ever heard of an Emperor acting as an attendant for a youngster?”
Someone brought out an even better argument that won the approval of many others.
Which Emperor wasn’t an omnipotent individual who could astonish all of time? How could there be anyone in the world who could make them willingly serve as an attendant?
However, regardless of how they guessed and debated, no one managed to deduce the hemp-clothed youth’s and old woman’s background.
For a time, the master and servant pair grew increasingly mysterious in the eyes of the other ship passengers.
As for Yu Xuan, whom Lin Xun was disguised as, not a single person asked about him from start to end. It was as if he had no presence whatsoever.
Lin Xun was naturally more than happy to see this and hoped no one would pay attention to him.
After all, it was best for him to be low-key for now.
……
On the other hand, this felt like a nightmare for the Heavenly Sound Pavilion experts.
First, the Primordial Dao Court experts were murdered, causing panic on the ship.
Next, the terrifying master-servant pair of the hemp-clothed youth and old woman had left their Grand Elder Hua Dian with no choice but to kneel and beg for mercy.
These consecutive incidents dealt a devastating blow to the Heavenly Sound Pavilion experts.
The ship belonged to the Heavenly Sound Pavilion.
Yet, they were currently the most devastated and affected group on board!
It was said that after returning, Grand Elder Hua Dian immediately locked himself away and no one knew when he would emerge again.
The Heavenly Sound Pavilion experts were distressed.
They knew that Hua Dian had suffered too much emotional damage and didn’t dare to show his face.
“What do we do?”
For a time, the Heavenly Sound Pavilion members were filled with unease.
In the end, the other Heavenly Sound Pavilion Grand Elder, Liang Chuan, had to step forward to stabilize the situation.
Liang Chuan was also a quasi-Emperor with snow-white hair and a youthful appearance. Additionally, his foundation and cultivation were slightly stronger than Hua Dian’s.
The two quasi-Emperors, Liang Chuan and Hua Dian, were jointly in charge of the ship headed to the Great Primordial Chaos World.
In the main hall, Liang Chuan gathered the Heavenly Sound Pavilion higher-ups and gave them three orders.
“From today, no one is allowed to provoke that master-servant pair.
“Additionally, you are forbidden from even suspecting them as the culprits behind the murder of the Primordial Dao Court experts.
“As for the Liu Qingyan matter, I will not be interfering. However, no more internal conflicts are allowed before we arrive at the Great Primordial Chaos World.”
The first two orders were silently accepted without objection, or rather, no one had the guts to object.
After hearing the last order, however, Wu Yunlian couldn’t help but speak out, “Grand Elder, Liu Qingyan is the one who caught the eye of the Primordial Dao Court’s Young Master Kong Yu. There’s no way she isn’t related to the massacre of the Primordial Dao Court experts on the ship. Are we going to let her off just like that?”
“Yeah.” Several others nodded in agreement.
Liang Chuan frowned and said, “I’ve stated that I will not interfere in the Liu Qingyan matter. However, I will not forgive whoever causes internal conflict!”
After which, he turned around and left with a swish of his sleeves.
He only cared about seeking the dao and absolutely loathed such troublesome affairs and internal fighting.
If not for Hua Dian’s refusal to appear and take charge, Liang Chuan couldn’t care less about these matters.
After Liang Chuan departed, the crowd turned to each other.
Someone couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Sister Wu, what is Grand Elder Liang Chuan trying to say?”
Wu Yunlian took a deep breath and coldly said, “No internal conflicts means he won’t turn a blind eye to us dealing with that bitch Liu Qingyan. But it’s fine, as long as she stays on the ship, she won’t be able to escape once we reach the Great Primordial Chaos World!”
At this point, Wu Yunlian recalled something that caused her eyes to harden. She said, “Right, the ship will be entering White Emperor Star Field next where we will stop over for three days. For those three days, make sure to keep a close eye on Liu Qingyan. She must not be allowed to escape!”
Several people nodded.
With the Primordial Dao Court experts dead, if Liu Qingyan were to escape, how would the Heavenly Sound Pavilion explain things to Kong Yu?
……
As time passed, the atmosphere on the ship gradually calmed down.
Several people secretly breathed sighs of relief. At the very least, it showed that the culprit who murdered the Primordial Dao Court experts wasn’t going to continue his spree of murders on the ship.
Likewise, Lin Xun’s and Liu Qingyan’s lives became peaceful again.
Although Liu Qingyan still had some concerns, she was clearly more cheerful than before and would occasionally brew tea for Lin Xun.
Meanwhile, Lin Xun focused on his training, allowing him to make rapid progress in the World-Guarding Nine Cauldrons Scripture and the tempering of the five viscera spirits.
In his five viscera, green, red, black, yellow, and white lights coalesced into embryo-shaped forms that produced the unique pulse of life with each breath.
These were the Five Viscera Spirit Embryos!
The Grand Dao Yellow Court Classic was divided into four major stages, the Five Aggregate Stage, the Five Colors Stage, the Five Flavors Stage, and the Five Virtues Stage.
Previously, after cultivating the Five Viscera Spirit Embryos, Lin Xun had successfully reached the Five Colors Stage.
At this stage, the five True Spirits at the five viscera were able to materialize and display their respective ‘coloration.’
For example, the Green Wood True Spirit could display the coloration of ‘eternal greenery and longevity.’
At the Five Flavors Stage, the five True Spirits would emerge from their embryos with their respective ‘flavors.’ These ‘flavors’ were similar to the unique auras of each individual.
At the Five Virtues Stage, the five True Spirits would gain their own conscience and cultivation.
Presently, Lin Xun’s Five Viscera Spirits were on the verge of ascending to the Five Flavors Stage.
The Green Wood True Spirit at the liver area was especially close. It strongly beat with the pulse of life as if it would be born at any moment!
“Once I succeed in cultivating the Green Wood True Spirit, I will have a Green Wood dao clone. When that happens, even an Emperor wouldn’t be able to identify me if I infuse my cultivation into the dao clone.”
After his daily training was done, Lin Xun fell into thought.
He had a feeling that the hemp-clothed youth and the old woman had already seen through his ‘Yu Xuan’ disguise.
It made him feel slightly threatened.
After all, there would most definitely be Emperors in the Great Primordial Chaos World who could easily see through his disguise and expose him.
However, things would be different once he managed to cultivate the Five Viscera Spirits.
Even if someone managed to see through his ‘Yu Xuan’ disguise, they wouldn’t be able to guess his real identity.
The only thing that troubled Lin Xun at present, was that the hemp-clothed youth would often appear on the wall and try to strike up a conversation like a chatterbox who could never shut up.
However, the problem was soon solved when Lin Xun activated the courtyard array to isolate it from the outside world.
At that time, the hemp-clothed youth had resentfully clamored about wanting to break down the door like a bride who had been abandoned at the altar.
In the end, he didn’t leave his own courtyard and could only stand on the wall and look from afar.
One day passed.
The ship entered the White Emperor Star Field and stopped above a world called Jintian.
Many passengers hurriedly disembarked from the ship and engaged in trade with the local factions, trading goods such as cultivation resources and various specialty items.
Some of the passengers formed groups to tour Jintian Great World.
As the saying went, knowledge came from books and experiences from the world.
For cultivators, touring the many worlds of the cosmos was an invaluable experience to their cultivation. Likewise, the various events they encountered could also be viewed as a form of self-improvement.
Jintian Great World was the biggest world in White Emperor Star Field and was also the home of the Primeval Imperial Jintian Clan.
The Imperial Jintian Clan was the number one faction in White Emperor Star Field. Their founder was one of the famous Five Directions Great Emperors of the Primeval Era, Emperor Bai![1]
From how the world was named after Jintian and the star field was named after Emperor Bai, it was easy to imagine how powerful the Imperial Jintian Clan was!
In truth, the Imperial Jintian Clan was considered a titan even in the Ancient Nebula Road, and it wasn’t the least bit inferior to the Primeval Imperial Kun, Xu, and Yu Clans.
Lin Xun also planned to tour Jintian Great World with Liu Qingyan but they were stopped by a group of people the moment they left their courtyard.
1. If you recall, the white cicada back in called herself White Emperor in chapter 1452. The characters (白帝) used in these two names are the exact same, so we will be using the name Emperor Bai for this Emperor, but it does mean White Emperor. ☜
