Chapter 199: Chapter 139: The Old Man Who Refuses to Let Go, He’s Here, He’s Here

"In that case, it really might be a tremendous opportunity."

All the older figures exchanged uncertain glances. The endless, majestic figures above had them surrounded but weren’t attacking, which seemed to prove they weren’t enemies.

As Wang Jiang finished speaking, the eyes he turned toward the high sky instantly filled with excitement and a sharp gleam. If there was anyone left in Xingyue City who was most likely to be favored by those world-shocking factions, he would undoubtedly be one of them.

"Lord City Lord, immediately summon all the top prodigies in our Xingyue City to ascend and receive our VIPs together.

"Also, if Lord City Lord and the seniors have no objections, I am willing to act as the leading figure for Xingyue City’s younger generation.

"Compared to everyone else, my meager talents as a Tier Two Eighth Grade Pill Master make me the most likely candidate to be chosen.

"If I, Wang, manage to enter a Holy Sect in the future, I certainly won’t forget you seniors."

As Wang Jiang spoke, his breathing seemed to quicken.

Many of the older Cultivators in Xingyue City didn’t object to this proposal. After all, a Tier Two Eighth Grade Pill Master of his age was indeed of considerable use. Even some sects would be willing to take him in and employ him as a Pill Master.

However, bringing this up couldn’t help but remind some Xingyue City Cultivators of a certain someone.

In the crowd, Li Qingyi subconsciously said, "If this really is an opportunity, it would be great if Jiang Hao were still a Cultivator of our Xingyue City’s Earth Realm."

If that young man were here, he would definitely be chosen. He was also the one most qualified to receive such a chance.

Yet, as soon as she said this, Wang Jiang’s brows instantly locked tightly together. Hearing that name again seemed to bring all their past grievances floating back to the surface.

"Hmph, Miss Li, you think too highly of that piece of trash. During that battle in the sky above Xingyue City years ago, he suffered such heavy injuries that it’s a miracle if he even survived.

"And so what if he survived? After offending the people from the Celestial Sword Sect, I’m afraid no faction would dare take him in easily.

"In this Cultivation Realm, it’s not just talent you rely on, but also luck. More than ten years later, who exactly is the chosen one remains to be seen."

Wang Jiang scoffed coldly as he spoke. Five whole years had passed since the battle at the ancient ruins.

By continuously exploring minor ruins over these past few years, not only had his Alchemy Realm skyrocketed, but his cultivation had also reached the Spirit Transformation Realm due to a heaven-shaking opportunity. He was now only a single step away from the Peak of Spirit Transformation.

This was a full minor realm stronger than the Jiang Hao who had returned a year ago.

He was confident that even if that person were still alive, he wouldn’t be much stronger than himself. He had only been suppressed by One Vein Many Transformations back then. But these things were not impossible to make up for later on.

"Jiang, if I ever see you again in this life, I now have the power to fight you. A hundred years from now, a thousand years from now, it is still unknown who will be the true king," he muttered to himself before taking a step forward and heading straight into the void.

Nowadays, he was considered a pivotal figure in Xingyue City, and the Wang Family’s prestige had grown alongside his rise. Over the years, the Ye Family had been completely isolated under his deliberate suppression. Even major gatherings like the Earth Realm assembly had been excluded to them simply because of a single word from him.

Watching Wang Jiang fly off to recommend himself and seek out the opportunity, everyone felt conflicted. Looking across all of Xingyue City, he was the only one left who still called that young man a piece of trash.

"Let’s also ascend and welcome them. We don’t ask for any opportunities, only to survive this ordeal safely."

Following the sentiment, countless Xingyue City experts soared into the sky, preparing to greet the arrivals proactively. They couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

However, just as everyone prepared to take flight, a faint figure appeared in the void. He stood ahead of the overwhelming lineup of countless Nanling prodigies, right in front of the entirely white-clad younger generation in the shedding-mortality stage.

It was a young man of similar age to the endless prodigies. Dressed entirely in white, his aura was as striking as a soaring swan. He stepped forward alone, slowly walking toward the ancient city in his memories.

The moment the young man’s figure appeared in their line of sight, the endless Cultivators of the Xingyue City Earth Realm were instantly dumbfounded. Especially when people got a clear look at his appearance, they all froze in place as if struck by lightning.

In the void, Wang Jiang, who was already flying dozens of meters in the air, shuddered violently. The look in his eyes underwent an earth-shattering change.

Between the boundless heaven and earth, uncountable majestic figures served as a backdrop, and densely packed prodigies stood in the void. In front of that awe-inspiring array, a solitary figure walked forward alone, as if all the experts had become nothing more than scenery to complement him.

The young man walked forward slowly, every step seeming to pull at everyone’s heartstrings.

"Is... is that...?"

"Jiang... Jiang Hao?"

"It’s Jiang Hao! Look, everyone, it’s Jiang Hao! That person is Jiang Hao!"

A Xingyue City Cultivator recognized the origin of that figure and was overjoyed, crying out subconsciously.

The arrival of endless experts had long since left all of Xingyue City living in constant fear. Yet, the instant that white-clad figure appeared, countless Xingyue City Cultivators shuddered, instinctively cheering with joy.

To them, seeing a familiar figure amid such an imposing lineup was undoubtedly like a drowning man clutching at a straw.

"It really is Jiang Hao! Father, it’s Jiang Hao!"

"Jiang Hao?"

Hearing this, more and more Cultivators looked up. When they saw that familiar figure, an inexplicable sense of joy washed over them all.
