"Nine Dragons pulling a carriage!?"
"What a grand and magnificent palace! Whose carriage is this?"
"That's... the emblem of the Everlasting Immortal Clan Jiang Family!"
On the Dao Discussion Platform, a sudden uproar erupted, with whispers of surprise and uncertainty rising and falling.
Everyone looked up, their eyes flashing with shock and awe.
Shen Lian also couldn't help but look up, his gaze firmly drawn to the magnificent scene, a feeling he couldn't name welling up in his heart.
Such a display?
What kind of important person could this be?
If he also had such status and background, why would he be subjected to such ostracization?
His heart was deeply moved, a mix of emotions, and a strange covetousness arose within him.
Guan Yunyao also showed a look of wonder.
Even with her status, it was impossible for her to have such a luxurious carriage.
Not to mention nine Saint Realm Dragons pulling it.
Although she was devoted to the Dao, that didn't mean she didn't care about anything.
"Dao Discussion Assembly? How lively!"
A voice as gentle as jade, like a breeze caressing one's face.
As the voice fell, a tall and slender figure traversed from the Void Realm, his steps light, like an Immortal descending to the mortal world.
As Origin Qi surged.
Many people reacted.
"This is a Void Divine Ability!"
"What fast movement!"
Jiang Ye, clad in a black robe with Dragon patterns, was imposing and handsome, his face like polished jade; every gesture exuded a natural nobility and composure as he slowly walked towards the center of the Dao Discussion Platform.
In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire Dao Discussion Platform suddenly solidified.
A man like an Immortal descended to the mortal world!
Perfect as a painting!
His face was so handsome it was almost demonic, yet he did not lack heroic spirit; his expression was casual and unrestrained, yet it made people feel an undeniable pressure.
Both men and women were somewhat dazed.
Either they showed looks of admiration, their eyes full of little stars, or they were envious and jealous, their faces full of displeasure.
"Why is he so handsome? How can we compare?"
"What's wrong with being handsome? Did he eat your family's rice?"
"Brother, look at me! I'm willing to give myself away!"
Amidst the commotion.
Qing Xuan and Hong Yan also appeared together, following closely behind Jiang Ye, like two blooming, peerless Immortal flowers, vibrant and captivating.
Everyone watched, dumbfounded, their eyes filled with even stronger envy.
"I heard that this Divine Son Your Highness is romantic and passionate, but I didn't expect his maidservants to be so stunningly beautiful."
"It's more than that, isn't it? Just their talent... is already not weaker than those chief Disciples in the Academy!"
Shen Lian, standing nearby, felt a surge of jealousy.
He had initially thought it was some important person, but it turned out to be a young man; this sense of disparity instantly made his heart unbalanced.
The other male Cultivators all had uncomfortable expressions.
Jiang Ye had already noticed Shen Lian, not only because the System had given a notification, but also because of the faint, sinister Aura within him.
He possessed the Radiant God King Body, inherently highly sensitive to evil and dark Auras.
Jiang Ye had almost pinpointed him from the crowd before even landing.
"Ding! The System has detected the Protagonist of Destiny... Guan Yunyao!"
"Ding! The System has detected the Protagonist of Destiny... Shen Lian!"
"Name: Shen Lian (31)"
"Realm: Dao Severing Realm First Layer (Eighth Realm)"
"Physique: Blood Soul Demonic Physique"
"Cultivation Technique: Blood Demon Devouring Art, Black Blood Slaughter Array, Poison Flame Refinement Technique, Demonic Shadow Step..."
"Treasures: Nether Soul Bell, Blood Fiend Pearl, Blood Moon Divine Ring..."
"Remaining Luck Value: 7000 / 7000"
"Ding! The System has detected the Protagonist of Destiny... Chu Nan!"
"Name: Chu Nan (29)"
"Realm: Unity Realm Eighth Layer (Sixth Realm)"
"Physique: Heavenly Secret Eye (Acquired Awakening)"
"Cultivation Technique: Three Lives Art (Three Fortunes Yi Dao Method), Origin Qi Heavenly Divination Canon, Enlightenment Zen Thunder Scroll..."
"Treasures: Heavenly Secret Ziwei Mirror, Qian Ling Plate (Emperor Weapon · Fragmented)..."
"Remaining Luck Value: 4500 / 6000"
Jiang Ye's eyes lit up, his Truth-Breaking Golden Eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.
But he still didn't see Chu Nan.
"Master, Chu Nan has just arrived at the Sacred Forest Land and is currently making his way up from the foot of the mountain."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye was relieved.
Unlike his journey using the Nine Dragons pulling a carriage.
In the Myriad Domains of the Heavens, crossing countless Star Domains to reach the Yu Chen Dao Domain, and then to the Sacred Forest Land, ordinary Cultivators would need to spend a lot of Spirit Stones and travel slowly on inefficient divine boats.
Chu Nan would take several days.
But Jiang Ye could easily arrive in just a few hours.
"As expected of Cloud Top Academy, two Protagonists of Destiny have appeared directly! And they're not minor characters like Ye Bufan or Lin Hongyan."
A look of great interest flashed in Jiang Ye's Truth-Breaking Golden Eyes, his lips slightly curved, and a hint of profound amusement appeared in his heart.
"This is going to be fun!"
His thoughts settled.
He quietly exchanged a tracking card in the System Mall, spending fifty villain points, and locked onto Shen Lian.
Suddenly.
A violent Void Realm fluctuation came.
An old man in a simple grey robe slowly walked out of the Void Realm.
The old man's face was slightly aged, covered with fine wrinkles, his Aura peaceful; he looked unremarkable, as if he were just an ordinary old man.
But the moment he appeared.
All the surrounding Disciples bowed in unison, showing extreme respect.
"Greetings, Grand Elder!"
"Greetings, Grand Elder!"
The voices rose and fell like waves, and the atmosphere instantly became solemn and dignified.
The old man slowly raised his head, his sharp eyes like a keen light falling on Jiang Ye, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, then he composed himself and showed a smiling expression.
He bowed slightly, his voice gentle and humble: "Divine Son Jiang, Cloud Top Academy welcomes your presence. This old man has come specifically to greet you; please take the honored seat!"
Jiang Ye nodded, leading the two women closely behind him, his Truth-Breaking Golden Eyes slightly narrowed.
The other party appeared respectful, but the fleeting scrutiny and wariness in his eyes were clearly discernible, and even in the corners of his brows, there was a subtle hint of displeasure and rejection that was hard to notice.
Although these micro-expressions were tiny, they would be ignored by ordinary people.
But Jiang Ye possessed the Truth-Breaking Golden Eyes.
He saw these tiny facial expressions as clearly as if observing a fire.
Presumably.
This old man was not from the same faction as his aunt.
Power struggles, well, they were the same everywhere.
The surrounding Disciples, seeing the Grand Elder's respect for Jiang Ye, couldn't help but exchange glances.
"As expected of the Longevity Immortal Clan! Even the Grand Elder is so respectful to him!"
"The son of Empress Hongye, who dares not be respectful? Look at what happened to Heavenly Dao Academy and Heide Dao Domain a while ago; do you dare to offend him and try?"
"Alas, comparing oneself to others is truly infuriating!"
Everyone whispered among themselves, exchanging remarks, their words barely concealing their jealousy and awe.
And Shen Lian below.
His gaze, like an eagle's, was fixed on Jiang Ye's figure, his brows deeply furrowed.
Not to mention the other party's immense background.
What surprised Shen Lian most was that he, a Dao Severing Realm expert, was considered a top talent among the younger generation.
Yet, he completely couldn't see through Jiang Ye's Cultivation Realm.
He only felt that the other party's Aura was overbearing, as if his mere presence was like a silent mountain, pressing down on him, making him unable to breathe.
Just by looking at Jiang Ye.
A deep sense of unease surged in Shen Lian's heart.
In a daze.
He even felt a trickle of cold sweat run down his back.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that this Divine Son of the Jiang Clan has a huge difference in Aura from me, as if we are naturally opposed..."
"What exactly is going on?"
Shen Lian's heart was filled with doubts.
Guan Yunyao, nearby, was also somewhat surprised; she, too, couldn't see through this Divine Son Jiang.
In her eyes, the other party's Aura was very restrained.
But from the temperament he exuded, if she were to face him in battle, her chances of winning would be extremely small.
However, Guan Yunyao didn't pay too much attention.
She disliked competing with others; a temporary win or loss proved nothing.
She was just inexplicably curious.
