Great Yan Dynasty
Chen Zhen and the others were also surprised. They knew that the expert before them was indeed powerful, but would he really agree to let them become his disciples so rashly?
Besides, this powerful figure's origins are unknown. It's obvious he won't stay with their Dao Sect. If he takes your daughter with him, are you really comfortable letting her go with him?
Furthermore, a powerful individual possessing the Reincarnation Seal doesn't need to take anyone as their master. Once they regain their memories of the Reincarnation Realm, they will naturally become a super powerhouse.
As the reincarnation of the Ice Lord, Ying Huanhuan is the strongest being in the world besides the Symbol Ancestor. This powerful being might not even be as strong as her, so isn't it pointless for her to become his disciple now?
It would be better to destroy the Yuan Sect, which would both avenge the sect and provide Ying Huanhuan a stable environment to grow up in.
Chen Zhen and the others wanted to persuade Ying Xuanzi to change his mind, but the words stuck in their throats.
Ying Xuanzi waved to them, then cupped his hands to Xiao Ming and said, "My mind is made up about this matter. I beg you, senior, to give me another chance!"
"Alas, I never intended to take on disciples, but since I promised you a condition, I cannot go back on my word. However, could you tell me your purpose?" Xiao Ming was silent for a while before sighing.
"I would like to ask you to seal Ying Huanhuan's memories for a period of time, so that she can at least enjoy one last happy moment," Ying Xuanzi said.
"It's not impossible. The Reincarnation Seal is gradually unlocked. I can seal her memories, but in the end, at the moment of unlocking, she will remember everything."
That's enough.
"Alright, I agree. Go arrange the apprenticeship ceremony. I won't stay at the Dao Sect for long; I'll only stay here for two days at most before taking her away."
Two days later.
Xiao Ming left the Dao Sect, and the Sect Competition was held as scheduled.
Before the competition even began, Dao Sect was ridiculed by the Yuan Sect.
"I heard that your Dao Sect was attacked by a mysterious powerful figure who took away your sect's most treasured artifact, the Great Desolate Monument, yet you were powerless to resist. Has the Dao Sect's strength declined so drastically in recent years?"
"Heh, it's true that our Dao Sect is powerless to fight back, but if it were your Yuan Sect, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to withstand even a single finger from that lord," Chen Zhen, who came on behalf of the Dao Sect, sneered.
"It's actually true!"
When the people from other sects heard that Chen Zhen's tone didn't seem to be faking it, they immediately became excited. The strength of the Dao Sect was not weak. To be able to suppress the entire Dao Sect, it must be at least a Reincarnation Realm expert!
When did the Eastern Xuan Region acquire such a super strong expert?!
"Ahem, I wonder if Hall Master Chen Zhen could describe that senior's appearance? We would like to instruct our disciples not to offend him unnecessarily."
"Yes, our eight major sects are closely connected. Perhaps we can help each other next time we meet."
"..."
Hearing this, Chen Zhen inwardly rolled his eyes. Helping each other, huh? Having experienced Xiao Ming's aura firsthand, he knew just how terrifying it was. A single aura from Xiao Ming could render Ying Xuanzi, a cultivator at the Reincarnation Realm, immobile. These scruffy fellows might just get killed instantly!
The representative of the Yuan Sect looked at Chen Zhen, who was surrounded, and fell into deep thought.
"The Dao Sect's spy's words were actually true. Such a powerful figure has emerged in the Eastern Xuan Region. It seems that Ying Huanhuan, who is suspected to be the reincarnation of the Ice Lord, is also real. She was taken away by that unknown powerhouse, and we don't know his purpose. But once Ying Huanhuan grows up, she will definitely have an impact on our Yuan Sect's unification of the Eastern Xuan Region. Perhaps it is necessary to nip this danger in the bud..."
Thinking this, the Yuan Sect representative looked at Chen Zhen, who was surrounded, and sneered.
"Keep smug, because you won't be so smug for long! Not only Ying Huanhuan, but all the other geniuses from the Dao Sect in the Sect Competition will also be reaped by our Yuan Sect!"
The Sect Competition ended quickly, but the result was unexpected by the Yuan Sect representative.
Two of the Yuan Gate Three Little Kings were killed and one was injured by the Heaven Hall Senior Sister the Dao Sect. More than half of the other disciples were also killed or injured.
This prompted the Yuan Sect representative to curse him under his breath as a piece of trash, and he turned and left.
Beneath the Super Sect of the Eastern Xuan Region lie countless dynasties.
The Great Yan Dynasty was an insignificant one among these hundreds of dynasties, ranking in the middle to lower range in strength among the many kings and kings. It was an ordinary dynasty at the very bottom. Yet, within such a small and ordinary dynasty, there was an extraordinary legacy.
Within the Great Desolate County of the Great Yan Dynasty, there exists the ruins of the Ancient Times Great Desolate Sect, the Great Desolate Sect. In the past, the Great Wilderness Sect was even more powerful than the Super Sect of the Eastern Xuan Region today. However, because the Great Desolate Sect obtained the Devouring Ancestral Symbol among the Eight Great Ancestral Talismans, it was targeted by the Demonic Race, thus its lineage was severed, leaving only ruins.
The Great Yan Dynasty now has eight major powers, namely Five Great Clans and three major sects. Each of these powers has produced geniuses during the Hundred Dynasty War.
The Five Great Clans are Mo, Lin, Wang, Qin, and Huangpu, with the Mo Clan being the royal family. The three major sects are Heavenly Net Sect, Great Compassion Valley Sect, and Barbarian King Sect.
Great Yan Commandery was one of the counties of the Great Yan Dynasty, and its premier county.
The Great Yan Commandery, in fact, should be considered the most prosperous prefecture in the Great Yan Dynasty, as it is also known as the Imperial Commandery Great Yan Commandery. The Imperial Capital of the Great Yan Dynasty is located in this vast prefecture.
In terms of area, Great Yan Commandery may not be the most expansive county city, but it is the place where the strongest people in the Great Yan Dynasty are most concentrated. Moreover, some of the truly top forces in the Great Yan Dynasty are also located here. Great Yan Commandery has eight major cities, and each major force owns one city. To some extent, Great Yan Commandery can be considered the center of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The Imperial City, the most prestigious city in the Great Yan Dynasty.
Deep within the Imperial Palace stands a majestic and towering peak that pierces the clouds. This mountain is called Holy War Peak, and it is considered a forbidden area because it contains Teleportation Passage to Ancient Battlefield.
At the Holy War Peak, there exists a massive stone array. The boulder is carved with a magical rune, from which astonishing energy fluctuations constantly emanate, causing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Power) to tend towards boiling.
"Buzzing..."
Originally, this massive magic array was only activated during the Hundred Dynasty War, which took place once every twenty years. But for some reason, today the stone array suddenly trembled, and the runes carved on the stone array burst forth with brilliant light. A pillar of light slowly spread out from the center of the array.
This beam of light, like a blazing sun, caused quite a stir and naturally attracted the attention of the powerful figures within the Imperial Palace. A figure quickly arrived; it was a middle-aged man with black and white hair, and his dragon robe exuded a strong sense of nobility.
"Why is the Teleportation Formation activated? Could it be that a powerful figure from the Upper Sect is coming to our Great Yan?"
The middle-aged man gazed at the radiant magic array before him, his eyes filled with a mixture of surprise, uncertainty, and anticipation.
The beam of light slowly dissipated, and two figures, one large and one small, slowly appeared.
"I really don't understand why you brought me to this tiny Great Yan Dynasty. How can this place compare to my Dao Sect!"
The little figure mumbled as she walked out of the formation. She looked to be about ten years old, with a pretty face, a true beauty in the making.
"Dao Sect?"
The middle-aged man accurately grasped the key words and was overjoyed, realizing that it was indeed someone from the Upper Sect.
Behind the little girl, a young man who appeared to be in his early twenties also stepped forward with a smile.
"It's not as simple as you think."
These two were naturally Xiao Ming and Ying Huanhuan.
After leaving the Dao Sect, Xiao Ming took Ying Huanhuan to tour the Eastern Xuan Region, allowing her to experience the local customs and culture of the Tian Xuan Continent. Afterward, he took her to the Great Yan Dynasty.
Because Xiao Ming wasn't in a hurry, and also to allow Ying Huanhuan her cultivation, he didn't walk fast, and instead used teleportation arrays to cross regions.
