Qin Feng took a long time to recover from the shock over his 17th brother’s sudden advancement from a super Sage to a Sage King.
Ancient Sage Jing Tian sighed, “So, the Minister hadn’t displayed his true cultivation level back then. I didn’t expect him to have hidden it so well. Even I cannot compare to him.”
In the Dharma-Ending Age, it was already difficult enough to become a Sage, not to mention becoming a Sage King. How heaven-defying would that be?
Qin Feng’s mouth twitched. He really wanted to say, “If you knew that he’s a member of the Qin imperial clan and my younger brother who’s not even a hundred years old, I’m afraid that your eyes would fall out.”
Of course, regarding Qin Chen’s true identity, unless it was a last resort, Qin Feng would not disobey his brother’s will and reveal it. He only said softly, “Great ancestor, the roc imperial clan will definitely be enraged this time. The Great Qin Dynasty must protect the Minister no matter what.”
“Don’t worry, ” Ancient Sage Jing Tian replied, “The elder king is the Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty and the Sage King of the human race. Nothing will be allowed to happen to him. So what if it’s the roc imperial clan? Hehe, we’re also the descendants of the Qin Shihuang.”
In the Ice Palace, Ancient Sage Bing Xuan exclaimed, “I didn’t think that the elder king of the Taiyi Holy Land would hide his strength during the All Races Banquet. To think he’s already a Sage King! What a formidable junior!”
Ancient Sage Ming Jian sighed as well, “The human race now has a Sage King!”
The world was shaken.
At this moment, everyone knew that the human race had a Sage King and would thus no longer be the pushover they could easily bully.
However, the roc Imperial clan was furious.
The mysterious human Sage King was truly bold. To think that he would suppress Ancient Sage Peng Wei. Was he trying to intimidate the roc imperial clan?
Many ancient races did not like the human race, to begin with, especially now that the human race had a Sage King. The human Sage King had even exterminated the space race and the whale race, two powerful ancient races.
No one knew when this human Sage King had found them an eyesore. If he suddenly attacked them, it would truly be a disaster.
One had to know that when the ancient race had first reappeared, they had all targeted the human race and had even done things as cruel as the whale race.
This human Sage King was like the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. They would not be able to live without fear if they did not kill him.
Thus, many of the ancient races took this chance to speak up and persuade the roc imperial clan to take revenge on the human race.
Only the ancient imperial clans had the right to punish the human race.
The world was shaken, and a storm was brewing.
This time, a Sage King from the roc imperial clan who had lived for over ten thousand years personally came forward and gave the order to hunt down the human Sage King. He even told the human race that if they did not hand over Ancient Sage Peng Wei and the human Sage King, the roc imperial clan would declare war on them.
The many ancient races expressed their support.
In short, they were threatening the human race.
However, the human race wasn’t the same as they were in the primordial age. In the face of the threat, the four immortal divine dynasties and the other emperor inheritances stepped out to warn the roc imperial clan that it was no longer the primordial age and that the ancient imperial clans couldn’t continue to be high and mighty while commanding the human race.
This infuriated the roc Imperial clan, and a Sage King immediately stepped out, summoning the ancient Sages of the ten thousand ancient races to head to the human race and demand justice.
However, the only thing that puzzled them was that no one seemed to really know who the human Sage King who had annihilated the space race and the whale race was. After all, the other party had never revealed his true body, and what they only knew was that he had the energy of chaos in his body.
Even the divination of the roc Sage King didn’t work.
The news only reached the Taiyi Holy Land when the world was in a frenzy.
The Holy Land’s upper echelons were dumbfounded because only now did they know that the elder king had silently broken through to the Sage King level.
Naturally, they were very excited. After tens of thousands of years, not only had a Sage finally been born in the Taiyi Holy Land, but he had also become a Sage King. The future of him becoming a Supreme Sage seemed within reach as well.
One had to know that a Holy Land with Sage Kings and Supreme Sages was a world of difference from a Holy Land with only Sages.
If the elder King became a Supreme Sage one day, even if the ten thousand ancient races or the ancient imperial clan came, they would still have to be respectful toward the Supreme Sage and not dare to offend him.
But on the other hand, they also felt their scalps go numb.
This was because they had only just found out that the elder king’s roc mount was actually a super Sage of the roc imperial clan, Ancient Sage Peng Wei. It had been suppressed and tamed by the elder king.
Although the upper echelons of the Holy Land were shocked by the elder king’s cultivation, they were also fearful of the roc imperial clan. Once the other party knew the truth, they would spare no effort in coming to suppress the elder king and the Holy Land. The danger was heading straight at them.
Naturally, they went to the elder king to immediately discuss the countermeasures.
They respected the elder king as always and did not dare to criticize him, whether it was because of the elder king’s cultivation or because of his indelible achievements in the Taiyi Holy Land.
Ancient Sage Peng Wei looked at the trembling upper echelons of the Taiyi Holy Land before turning to look at Qin Chen. Although he didn’t understand why Qin Chen was unwilling to reveal his true identity, he still took the opportunity to ask, “Sage Chen, I also think that it’s better for you to let me go as soon as possible. Now that the roc imperial clan is looking for me, it’s better for everyone if you do that. I can swear that the roc imperial clan won’t take revenge on the Taiyi Holy Land.”
“Really?” One of the grand elders said excitedly. To the people of the Taiyi Holy Land, Ancient Sage Peng Wei was more like a hot potato than anything else. They would not touch him if they could.
“Elder Xia!” Lu Xuan shouted. His expression darkened, and he immediately cupped his fists at Qin Chen and apologized, “Elder King, Elder Xia did not do it on purpose.”
The grand elder, who was called Elder Xia, also quickly apologized, because the one who held the power of the Holy Land was not them, but the elder king.
Even if the elder king had never been willing to wield power, he was still the one who made the final decision.
No matter what decision the elder king made, they had to follow it unconditionally.
Qin Chen knew the purpose of their visit, and he was very worried. After all, the various races of the primordial era and the ancient imperial clans were too powerful. They were too much of a threat to the human race.
“There’s no need for all of you to worry too much. At the moment, the roc imperial clan still doesn’t know that I’m the one who has tamed Ancient Sage Peng Wei,” Qin Chen consoled the higher-ups of the Holy Land, “Furthermore, the roc imperial clan will not start a war so easily. This can be considered a gamble. There will naturally be ancient sages of the human race who will come forward to negotiate with the roc imperial clan and the ten thousand ancient races.”
When it came to the higher level, the higher-ups of the Holy Land who were all Liuhe realm grandmasters or even Qiyao realm Kings didn’t have much say in the matters. Only Sage-level experts could truly negotiate with the ten thousand ancient races.
The elder king before them who was a Sage King must be one of the Sages who would go forward.
On second thought, the elder king was not only from the Taiyi Holy Land but also the Great Qin Dynasty’s Minister. The Great Qin Dynasty would not allow its Minister to be targeted by the ancient imperial clans.
Therefore, they did not need to worry too much about the Minister at all.
Soon, Qin Chen received Qin Feng’s message. First, his 9th brother congratulated him for becoming a Sage King with words filled with sincerity. However, to keep Qin Chen’s identity a secret, even the message did not reveal his true identity. Immediately after, he also told Qin Chen not to worry too much. The Great Qin Dynasty and the other three immortal divine empires had come to a consensus to deal with the ancient imperial clans together.
Qin Chen was not surprised by this.
He soon found out that Ancient Sage Jing Tian in the Great Qin Dynasty knew that his status was not high enough, so he invited a slumbering ancient Sage King from the ancestral grounds to make a trip to the roc imperial clan with the ancient sages of the other three immortal divine dynasties.
Qin Chen stood with his hands behind his back and looked to the west as he muttered to himself, “If the roc imperial clan continues to be stubborn this time, then I’ll personally make a trip there. I’d like to see just how strong an ancient imperial clan is. I do wonder if the Desolate Pagoda can kill the ancient race’s Supreme Sage.”
