Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Heroes Gather at Lingyun

After the Cyan Cloud Saint Master, the Supreme Elder was also slain, body and soul annihilated in mid-air.

Such a scene undoubtedly caused every disciple within Cyan Cloud Valley to display despair on their faces.

They could never have imagined that the day’s outcome would conclude in this manner.

"Roar!"

Groups of demon beasts continued their wanton slaughter. By now, Cyan Cloud Valley was already littered with corpses, blood flowing like rivers.

Ji Chen stood in mid-air, gazing calmly at the scene below, like a god of death devoid of any emotion.

These disciples of Cyan Cloud Valley were not deserving of pity.

Over the past two years, relying on the backing of Cyan Cloud Valley, they had committed numerous evil deeds in the Celestial Martial, leading to the annihilation of many sects and families.

Finally, only when the last person within Cyan Cloud Valley fell did the groups of demon beasts calm down.

Ji Chen waved his hand, directly retrieving them into the Spirit Emperor Tower.

"Swoosh!"

With that, he stepped into thin air, swiftly moving toward the depths of Cyan Cloud Valley.

In just a moment, Ji Chen had scoured the places like the Martial Arts Hall, Pill Room, and Treasure Pavilion within.

He didn’t take everything, only selected the high-value items useful to him.

Such as ordinary Earth Tier martial techniques, Ji Chen couldn’t even spare a glance at them.

In addition, he obtained the Supreme Elder’s storage treasure and plundered a large number of spirit stones and holy techniques, including a cultivation formula for an Emperor Scripture, the unparalleled legacy of Cyan Cloud Valley.

Ji Chen naturally pocketed all of them.

There was also the shattered Separation Fire Pearl, an Emperor’s Weapon, which Ji Chen could not leave behind.

"Swoosh!"

Subsequently, under the gaze of many, Ji Chen ascended into the sky, transforming into a rainbow glow, and vanished into the distant void.

Shortly after his departure, the cultivators observing from all around couldn’t hold back any longer. They surged into Cyan Cloud Valley, eager to plunder its secret treasures and take everything they could.

...

After this battle, the entire Cyan Cloud Valley was wiped out. The Supreme Elder and the Saint Master, both Great Saints, were slain, all perished at Ji Chen’s hands.

Over ten thousand disciples were not spared, entirely slaughtered by the demon beasts he summoned.

The news spread within less than two days throughout Celestial Martial and the entire Daoxuan Star Realm.

The world was in shock.

The former young king had returned.

Two years ago, when he left, he was merely in the Void Realm, yet now he could fight two Great Saints alone and eradicated the once invincible Cyan Cloud Valley.

Such a matter, upon learning the news, no one could refrain from being astounded.

In the outer realm, forces like Hidden Dragon and Qing Ling Sacred Land immediately sent representatives to approach Ji Chen.

Because Hidden Dragon Saint Heir, Saintess Qing Ling, and others accompanied Ji Chen to the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion back then.

Now that he returned by himself, these forces naturally wanted to glean information about their disciples from him.

People from Jueyue Sect also arrived; Ning Bufan originated from here. Though the sect wasn’t strong, Ning Bufan’s name as the Banished Immortal made it quite famous throughout the Daoxuan realm.

On the third day after leaving the Southern Region.

Ji Chen returned to Beiyou, without pausing anywhere, heading directly back to Lingyun Sacred Land.

In the following days, people from Qing Ling Sacred Land and Jueyue Sect also arrived, seeking a visit.

To this, Ji Chen did not reject them, letting Fang Qingyao arrange their accommodation within Lingyun Sacred Land.

Kunlun, Jiang Family, Ye Family, Phoenix Race, Demon Race, Dragon Race, and other forces sent representatives, even some Ancient Kings and Saint Masters personally appeared, all focusing on Lingyun Sacred Land.

These Ancient Kings and Saint Masters, back when Celestial Martial was not yet connected to the outer realm, were dominant rulers within Celestial Martial. Though times have changed and they are no longer at the peak, they still hold considerable prestige.

Moreover, in these two years, due to the appearance of the Ancient Starry Path, a surge of spiritual qi has flooded Celestial Martial, greatly enhancing the cultivation of cultivators within this realm.

Especially these Saint Masters, most of whom successfully validated the Great Dao within these two years, consecutively stepping into the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Yet even so, compared to the powerful figures from the outer realms, they still fall short.

Not to mention anything else, just Cyan Cloud Valley alone had left the former heroes of Celestial Martial helpless.

Now, the Hongmeng Body king returns, singlehandedly destroying Cyan Cloud Valley.

Such an event undoubtedly causes these former dominant rulers to feel deeply shaken.

They are all well aware that Ji Chen today is different from the past when he alone can slay two Great Saints and destroy everyone in Cyan Cloud Valley. Such a person, looking across the entire Daoxuan, who else besides him can compare?

...

On this day, within a plaza in Lingyun Sacred Land.

Strong figures from Jiang Family, Kunlun, Qing Ling Sacred Land, and other forces gathered here.

Everyone was waiting because Ji Chen was to meet them here today.

"When he left two years ago, he had just broken through the Void Realm not long before. Unexpectedly, upon returning two years later, he has become an unparalleled strongman in Daoxuan."

"The Hongmeng Body of the past was already incredibly brilliant, but to have such immense advancement in just two years is indeed hard to believe."

"I wonder what kind of progress our Kunlun Saintess has made in the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion by now?"

In the plaza, aside from the older generation of strong figures, many geniuses from the younger generation of various forces also arrived, all engaged in discussion, focusing on Ji Chen and the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion.

"The Kunlun Saintess, Gu Family Dao Body, and others, although they are remarkable, were among the young kings in the past; compared to Ji Chen, their progress in the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion should have been considerably less. After all, in terms of talent, Ji Chen is undoubtedly unmatched."

"Not to mention anything else, just the fact that he possesses Nine Spirit Veins, such talent alone could tower over anyone in history. Compared to him, even the Ancient Emperor of the past was just so."

Everyone engaged in discussion, when mentioning Ji Chen, they couldn’t help but reveal a fervor in their eyes.

In this Age Without Emperors, having such a person emerge is definitely something everyone finds remarkable.

"Swoosh!"

At some point, when the sun approached its zenith, finally, in the distant void above the plaza, the space faintly fluctuated.

Without need for reminders, almost everyone immediately turned their gaze towards it.

And then, a figure appeared, clad in white, a young man seemingly in his twenties. To most present, his age undoubtedly marked him as a younger generation.

Yet the aura subtly emanating from the young man made everyone aware that this was an unparalleled king of the world.
