Saving the Chosen, Demanding Treasures in Thanks

Boom!!!

A tremendous explosion shook Everlasting Heaven, making heaven and earth tremble violently. In an instant, terrifying shockwaves spread outward, sweeping across the eight desolations and six directions.

Bang!!!

Immediately afterward, an incomparably heavy impact rang out as something crashed into the ground. Dust rose throughout heaven and earth, filling the entire space.

Then, the oppressive force between heaven and earth vanished without a trace. The entire space fell silent enough to hear a pin drop.

The previously ferocious Titan Giant had already turned into a pile of mush, completely collapsing onto the ground.

"We... didn't die?"

"What happened?"

Everyone was filled with confusion.

"It was Jiang Xuan and that woman!"

At that moment, someone shouted loudly, utterly thrilled.

"Jiang Xuan and that woman..."

Hearing this, the chosen geniuses all turned around. Before their eyes stood Jiang Xuan and Leng Lingshuang.

One was a man, one was a woman. The man seemed like an exiled immortal descending to the mortal world, while the woman resembled a fairy who had returned from hell. Standing together, they were like a breathtaking painting, making everyone feel as though what they saw was unreal.

For a moment, beyond their shock, everyone was left staring in a daze.

What a perfect match!

That was what they were thinking.

"Holy shit! Jiang Xuan and that woman actually erased the Titan Giant with a single strike??"

"Damn it, what kind of strength was that?! Those two are complete monsters!"

After that brief silence, everyone finally came to their senses. They stared fixedly at the pile of mush ahead, their astonishment beyond measure.

The Titan Giant that none of them could do anything against even when they joined forces had actually been so vulnerable before Jiang Xuan and Leng Lingshuang?

Wasn't that gap far too enormous?

...

The Everlasting Heaven Venerable's inheritance will most likely fall into Jiang Xuan and that woman's hands.

Many people thought this to themselves.

"Jiang Xuan, and that woman—just how strong are they?!"

At this moment, Wang Teng was somewhat shaken. His gaze remained locked on the two of them as he found it hard to believe.

Before today, he had never seen Jiang Xuan or Leng Lingshuang. He had never known that such monstrous chosen geniuses existed in the Northern Region.

Especially Jiang Xuan.

If the rumors were true, then in merely half a month, Jiang Xuan had transformed from a Dao Palace Realm ant into someone Wang Teng himself now had to look up to.

Just thinking about it made Wang Teng feel that it was utterly inconceivable.

Did such freaks truly exist in this world?

They were simply even more terrifying than the ancient Great Emperors recorded in ancient history!

"These two are truly anomalies. If I cannot deal with them, the Venerable's inheritance may truly have nothing to do with me..."

As Wang Teng looked at Jiang Xuan and Leng Lingshuang, this thought emerged after his shock subsided.

"I must find a way to eliminate these two. Otherwise, forget opportunities—the destiny of this great era will also slip through my fingers..."

Long Aotian was not the only one thinking this way. Wang Teng harbored the same thought as well.

They were both the strongest chosen geniuses of their respective factions, each favored by the Northern Region and the Eastern Wilderness.

This had long fostered within them hearts that yearned to contend for supremacy.

But now, Jiang Xuan and Leng Lingshuang's monstrous talent had clearly surpassed what they could accept.

If such monsters were not dealt with here in the isolated Everlasting Heaven, they would still have to face them in the struggle for this great era in the future.

And by then, Jiang Xuan and Leng Lingshuang would most likely become even more difficult to handle, perhaps even leaving them far behind.

Therefore, both of them were thinking of how to deal with Jiang Xuan and Leng Lingshuang, ensuring that they themselves could obtain the Venerable's inheritance.

And, at the same time, clear away two massive obstacles from their future paths to attaining the Dao.

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Jiang Xuan and this young lady for coming to our aid."

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Jiang Xuan and this young lady for coming to our aid."

At this moment, everyone stepped forward and clasped their hands toward Jiang Xuan and Leng Lingshuang in thanks.

"No need. I never truly intended to save you."

Facing the chosen geniuses' gratitude, Jiang Xuan spoke expressionlessly. After pausing, he added:

"If you truly want to thank me, then give me some treasures to show your sincerity."

Chaotic Divine Light flickered within Jiang Xuan's abyss-deep eyes as he swept his gaze across the crowd.

The weakest among those present had reached the Dragon Transformation Realm. They were the foremost chosen geniuses of the major factions in the Eastern Wilderness and Northern Region, individuals their respective factions had poured resources into cultivating.

They definitely had no shortage of treasures on them.

Huh???

Jiang Xuan's words instantly left the chosen geniuses present dumbfounded.

They had not even entered the Everlasting Heaven Secret Realm yet, and Jiang Xuan was already asking them for treasures?

If they obtained treasures within the Everlasting Heaven Secret Realm, wouldn't Jiang Xuan rob them of everything?

"Jiang Xuan, what do you mean by this? We thanked you and offered a token of appreciation, yet you still insist on pushing your luck?"

A young man in Daoist robes could no longer hold himself back. He stepped out from the crowd, stared straight at Jiang Xuan, and spoke in an icy voice.

The young man carried himself with exceptional bearing. His cultivation had already reached Dragon Transformation Second Heaven, the same as Jiang Xuan.

For a moment, all the chosen geniuses turned their gazes toward the young man, expressions of agreement appearing on their faces.

They were all top chosen geniuses from major factions. Wherever they went, they were normally the center of attention.

They had always been the ones seizing others' treasures. No one had ever dared to take treasures from them.

Jiang Xuan was the first.

Naturally, they were unconvinced inside. They simply did not dare to step forward and say so because of Jiang Xuan's terrifying strength.

Whoosh!

At that very moment, a boundless streak of white sword light flashed through the void and vanished in an instant. It was so fast that even space failed to react, as though that Sword Qi had never appeared at all.

"You... you dare..."

The cultivator who had stepped forward to oppose Jiang Xuan turned deathly pale in an instant. His lips trembled as though he wanted to say something.

But in the next moment, his body was suddenly severed at the waist. He instantly lost all signs of life and died on the spot.

Silence.

Dead silence.

Silence like the grave.

Quiet as cicadas in winter, still as a secluded valley.

At this moment, the expressions of every chosen genius changed, including Wang Teng and Long Aotian.

All of them stared at Jiang Xuan with slightly trembling bodies. They did not even dare utter a single word, afraid of angering Jiang Xuan and meeting the same end as that cultivator.
