Chapter 339: Great Emperor Wang Teng
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
On the East Barrens, from ancient times until now, many great emperors had been born. As a result, many living beings in the East Barrens believed the land under their feet to be the center of this world.
Many great emperors established their own glorious factions during their lifetimes. Some great emperors also founded undying imperial clans. However, over the long years, one imperial clan after another was drowned in the river of time.
Those great emperors were certainly brilliant when alive, overshadowing their era. But that might not hold true in the epochs after them. Even wielding the Emperor’s Scriptures and imperial weapons, not every generation had dazzling prodigies emerge. As time passed, they declined. And in this cruel cultivation world, decline equaled destruction! Because the other factions coveted their Emperor’s Scriptures and imperial weapons.
Today, on the entire East Barrens, the number of still glorious emperor-level forces was not many. A large portion chose to become hermit forces. This way, they did not venture outside, so the outside world did not know if that imperial clan had declined or not. Since they could not ascertain the other’s circumstances, few powerful factions would harbor ill intentions towards them.
Apart from clans like the Qin family upholding the prestige of an imperial clan without having declined, in the entire East Barrens, it was hard to find even a few others. Even in the Central Plains, there were scarcely any.
The Wang family was one of the rare imperial clans that could compare with the Qin family. The Wang family’s ancestor was Great Emperor Wang Teng! This Wang Teng had passed away only about a million years ago, so he was a contemporary great emperor.
The descendants he left were quite capable – every generation produced one or two prodigies who led the Wang family to stand tall on the East Barrens. This made many forces not dare look down on them.
Today, a commotion suddenly arose within the Wang family.
On the thousands of divine mountains floating in the void, people were coming and going. Excitement was visible on every face.
“Have you heard?”
“Heard what?”
TWo Wang family’s youths discussed as they flew out.
“Su Chen!” the young man in white robes said excitedly. “Today, the family elders said the Great Mystery Holy Son will soon come to visit our Patriarch. He even personally told the Wang family not to lose etiquette.”
“Hiss!” The other young man gasped in disbelief. “That’s the Su Chen who destroyed the Spirit Race some time ago?”
“Other than him, who else is worthy of our Wang family treating the matter so seriously?” the white-robed youth said elatedly. “That’s Su Chen! With just Quasi-Saint Realm cultivation, he brought a saint king to annihilate the massive Spirit Race! In the whole world, how many people could accomplish that?”
After hearing Su Chen was coming, the entire Wang family was in an uproar. Countless young prodigies wanted to witness the glory of this number-one figure of the younger generation.
Half a year had passed since the Spirit Race’s destruction. As this matter fermented, everything that had happened in the Demon Slaying Altar could no longer be concealed. While the Infinite Demon Sect, Dashang, and other powers seethed with rage, the rest did not care. After all, the people who had died in the Demon Slaying Altar were not their clansmen. On the contrary, they even excitedly bestowed on Su Chen the title of number one of the younger generation. Many were convinced after reviewing Su Chen’s past achievements.
“All the outstanding younger generation prodigies of past years have come!” The two Wang family’s youths arrived at the mountain gate and were shocked to see the scene outside. Looking around, it was simply a sea of people! At the very least, no less than thousands. And these were just some of the more outstanding members of the Wang family. If you included ordinary clansmen, there were probably over ten thousand.
Among this group of people, they even saw a few Quasi-Saint Realm elders. This showed how much importance the Wang family placed on Su Chen.
“The person at the very front, if I’m not mistaken, should be Wang Wenxuan, right?” said the one who had rushed over with the white-robed youth, shocked.
Wang Wenxuan was the most dazzling figure of the Wang family’s younger generation. It was said that a few years ago, he had already reached the middle stage of the Nirvana Realm. Until now, he should still have been in seclusion. However, they didn’t expect him to actually appear here today.
Perhaps Wang Wenxuan’s cultivation was nothing compared to Su Chen’s, but compared to the other members of the younger generation, he was much stronger. After all, currently, most prodigies still lingered in the Nirvana Realm. Not many had even stepped into the peak stage of the Nirvana Realm. As for the Quasi-Saint Realm, there was only Su Chen.
Of course, this was also why many people were completely unaware of Cao Yun. Because Cao Yun was too low-key. Even though the potential he revealed was already shocking, not many had heard of his name.
“As the current Patriarch’s eldest son, Wang Wenxuan represents our Wang family, so of course he has to come out and welcome them! Moreover, according to what I know…” At this point, the white-robed youth lowered his voice mysteriously and transmitted his voice in secret. “The people welcoming Su Chen today are not just Wang Wenxuan and some elders!”
“Oh?” The other youth’s eyebrows rose as curiosity grew within him. “Could it be Patriarch will also come out to welcome? It would be a bit odd if Patriarch came forward to respond!”
The Wang family was an imperial clan after all, while Su Chen was just a young prodigy. If the Patriarch had to come out just because Su Chen arrived, then what if the Holy Lord of the Great Mystery Sacred Sect came? Wouldn’t that require a saint to come out? And if the Great Mystery Sacred Sect’s Supreme Elder came, presumably a saint king would have to come out!
This way, the Wang family would be losing face. All of the Wang family’s younger generation deeply admired Su Chen, but they didn’t want to see their prestigious imperial clan act so obsequiously to please a junior.
“It’s not the Patriarch, but a saint!” the white-robed youth said gravely.
“A saint?” Hearing this, the young man beside him couldn’t help but cry out strangely.
He had thought the patriarch coming out was exaggerated enough. But he absolutely didn’t expect for Su Chen’s arrival, the Wang family would actually send out a saint to welcome him. Wasn’t this too shocking?
“Shh! Quiet!” The white-robed youth broke out in a cold sweat from fear. He hurriedly said, “It’s fine for them to chat about the saint in private, but if talked about publicly, it’s too presumptuous!”
If the Wang family’s saint learned of this, he would probably be displeased. To earn a saint’s displeasure… One could imagine how difficult their future days in the Wang family would become..
