Eternal Sovereign

On the main peak, in a grand mansion, an old man frowned when he heard the news.    

In front of the old man stood several old men with powerful auras, including middle-aged men. Among them was an old woman who was leaning on a walking stick.    

These were all forefathers of the main peak.    

Don't look at how the Main Peak kept a low profile and didn't get involved in any faction battles. It stayed neutral from beginning to end, to the point where according to many people's impression of Ancestral Land, the Main Peak was a little weak to be bullied.    

However, the true higher-ups of the Ancestral Land all knew that the main peak's power was extremely terrifying, and could not be easily humiliated.    

Judging from Ancestor of Astral Deities Worship Stage's number, the Main Peak was the most important peak. The strongest of the Old Ancestor, the Sky Cloud Grandmaster, also came from the Main Peak, and was the Peak Master of the Main Peak.    

If the main peak was really going to fight against a certain peak, no one would be able to contend against it, not even Tianxiang Peak.    

The reason why the main peak kept a low profile was because the main peak was stronger than any other faction. However, it was only stronger than one faction and did not have the power to suppress all the factions.    

There were many factions within Chen Family and all of them appeared to be direct descendants. However, the only ones who truly belonged to the direct descendants of Chen Family Ancestor were the main branch.    

This also caused the main peak to have the tendency to suppress certain factions, which would cause a combined backlash from many factions.    

This was because these factions knew full well that in terms of status, they were inferior to the main branch.    

The main branch and the other factions seemed to be one, but they were also opposites of the other factions. Therefore, the main peak had kept a low profile all these years, otherwise, if the other factions joined forces, no matter how strong the main peak was, it would be finished.    

All these years, the main peak had always secretly nurtured the Heavenly Pride, hoping to nurture a Grandmaster.    

So now, although the main peak appeared to be low profile and maintained a neutral attitude on the surface, it was actually extremely cautious of the matter of the Tianxiang Peak fawning on them.    

The Heavenly Cloud Grandmaster frowned, "Why are Qin Sect Leader and the rest going to Hsingyun Peak?"    

As the number one person on the main peak, the Heavenly Cloud Grandmaster normally did not do anything, but went into seclusion to try and break through. Perhaps it was because he was old and had no more potential, so he was unable to break through.    

One of the ancestors stepped forward and said, "Maybe it was to force him?"    

"Oh? Who do you want? " The Sky Cloud Martial School's old ancestor looked at the old man in confusion. The other ancestors of the main mountain also looked at the old man.    

Back then, the matter of Chen Yi getting heavily injured by Chen Qiwen had turned into a huge mess. After all, it had angered Chen Yu, and he had even personally killed a Heavenly Pride who betrayed the Hsingyun Peak.    

After that, Chen Yi suddenly came back in good condition, which seriously injured Chen Qiwen and made him even more famous.    

However, most of the patriarchs of the Ancestral Land were cultivating in seclusion and didn't pay much attention to external affairs. Therefore, even though the matter of Chen Yi heavily injuring Chen Qiwen was causing quite a commotion, there were still many Patriarchs who didn't know about Chen Yi.    

On the main peak's side, the ancestor and the rest of the ancestors were puzzled.    

Fortunately, it was not as if the ancestor in charge knew nothing, so he told the Sky Cloud Grandmaster about what had happened recently.    

Patriarch Tianyun was shocked, "Such a monstrous genius appeared in the Hsingyun Peak? How about compared to Chen Yanbinn and Chen Yu? "    

The ancestor replied, "Although Chen Yanbinn and Chen Yu were too dazzling back then, many people are unwilling to admit that a Heavenly Pride would surpass the two of them. In addition to Chen Yi's background, there are even more stubborn people who are unwilling to admit that Chen Yi is on par with the two of them."    

"But after eliminating the influence of the halos of Chen Yanbinn and his companion, as well as the disadvantage of Chen Yi's background, according to the rational judgement of the onlookers, the talent and potential that he has shown is above Chen Yanbinn and Chen Yu!"    

The Heavenly Cloud Ancestor and the rest of the Patriarchs were shocked.    

They were well aware of how good Chen Yanbinn and Chen Yu's talents were. Yet, this Chen Yi was actually above the two of them?    

The Heavenly Cloud Grandmaster's talent could not be compared to Chen Yanbinn and the Chen Yanbinn. Sometimes, the Grandmaster would think that if he had talent like Chen Yanbinn and Chen Yu, he would have broken through to the Grandmaster Realm by now.    

Unfortunately …    

The Heavenly Cloud Grandmaster suddenly said, "Let's go, we're also going to Hsingyun Peak!"    

"Since his potential is even greater than Chen Yanbinn and Chen Yu, we can support him for a while. The Tianxiang Peak Faction won't be so big in the future."    

"Let Hsingyun Peak and Tianxiang Peak fight with each other, and also give our main pulse a chance to breathe."    

The old woman said, "Grandmaster Tianyun, are you not afraid of helping that Hsingyun Peak make that brat a Grandmaster in the future?"    

The old woman's heart trembled as she listened to Chen Yi's achievements. If Chen Yi was already twenty years old, he would at least reach adulthood. The old woman felt better.    

However, Chen Yi was still a minor.    

It was too much for a minor to have this kind of strength!    

Although the development of our Yunlan County is not the best, it is not the worst. At any rate, we are still in the middle ranks, but on the average, a Grandmaster would only produce one every two hundred years or so. "    

"The total number is always less than one palm."    

"No matter how talented we are, we only have so many resources in our Ancestral Land. Breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm is definitely not easy."    

"Of course, so what if you've broken through? "Today, we are not here to cause trouble, we are here to help. In the future, even if that kid is promoted to Grandmaster, because of today's friendship, he will have to be courteous to our main peak."    

"However, it's best if both sides suffer losses. Changhua, you have to work harder." Patriarch Tianyun looked at the only middle-aged man among all the Patriarchs.    

This person was called Ancestor Changhua. He was the youngest of all the ancestors on the main mountain. Apart from Patriarch Tianyun, he had the most potential to become a Grandmaster.    

Even though it was the most promising one, it was far inferior to Chen Yanbinn and Chen Yu.    

Changhua Ancestor said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Tianyun Ancestor. Junior will work hard!"    

The Heavenly Cloud Grandmaster flung his sleeves, "Enough with the nonsense, let's go!"    

At the peak of the main mountain, several rays of light flew out from a mansion and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.    

At the same time, Patriarchs from other peaks all flew towards the Hsingyun Peak.    

However, when Patriarch Tianyun and the other Patriarchs gathered at the Hsingyun Peak, they all revealed expressions of shock.    

At this time, the Hsingyun Peak was gathering into thunderclouds, and thunder roared. A terrifying force of nature pressured the Hsingyun Peak, and this frightening force of nature came from Leader of Empyrean Gods Sect, Qin Lia!    

The expression on the face of the Sky Cloud Grandmaster changed.    

Innate realm could only absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth from the world, but Master Stage could already use the power of the world to increase the strength of one's attacks by several times.    

Therefore, once Master Stage was used at full power, the scope of influence of the other waves would be extremely large and terrifying, far beyond what the Innate realm could compare with.    

It was even strictly forbidden for grandmasters to attack each other with all their might within the capital, especially in places without barriers!    

If he were to attack with his Master Stage at full power, he could easily destroy an area of fifty kilometers.    

Although Leader of Empyrean Gods Sect and Qin Lia were not able to directly control the energy of heaven and earth to increase their own strength in their attacks, they were already able to use the energy of heaven and earth to intimidate others. Obviously, they were not far from advancing to the true Master Stage.    

This made Ancestor Tian Yun's heart tremble. Was it really good to be enemies with a half-step into the Zongshi realm?    

As a result, the Heavenly Cloud Grandmaster, who had been preparing to assist Qin Lie, stopped in his tracks. The rest of the Patriarchs also stopped what they were doing.    

There was a huge difference between becoming enemies with an ordinary Half-Zongshi and a Half-Zongshi who was about to reach Half-Zongshi.    

Under the pressure of the Heaven and Earth powers, even if the Heaven and Earth powers were not inferior to the Heaven and Earth powers that a Grandmaster could use, they could only use sixty to seventy percent of their true strength.    

He had no chance at all!    

If a true Grandmaster were to unleash the Power of the Heavens and the Earth, it would be difficult for them to unleash even twenty percent of their power.    

They were only slightly affected by the force of the heaven and earth, yet the rest of the Hsingyun Peak had to face it head on. It must be very uncomfortable.    

However, when Patriarch Tianyun looked at Ancestor Ziyun and the rest, he was shocked to find that even though Ancestor Ziyun, Chen Yu and the other Yuan Combination Stage Elders had miserable expressions on their faces, their despair was different from what they had imagined.    

On the contrary, the corner of Ancestor Ziyun's mouth revealed a hint of a smile.    

On the other hand, Chen Yanbinn had an extremely furious expression. In their eyes, Qin Sect Leader and Qin Lia, who were extremely powerful, were also frowning as if they had encountered a difficult problem.    

As for the Peak Master of Tianxiang Peak, his expression was not much better than Chen Yanbinn's;    

Chen Yanbinn asked, "Are you treating us like monkeys? Even the weakest in Red Dragon Guard can only be at the Innate realm. That brat, a mere Acquired Stage, what qualifications does he have to become a Red Dragon Guard? "    

Ancestor Ziyun stroked his beard and laughed: "It's also because of that brat's good luck. When the time came, there were coincidentally three places in the Red Dragon Guard that were absent, and for some reason, the Lord County Duke wanted to pick out someone from the Acquired Stage. Thus, that brat was chosen."    

"If Qin Sect Leader and you want to capture him, go and capture him at the Red Dragon Guard Army Camp of Misty City. There is no one here for this old man."    

Chen Yanbinn's expression turned increasingly gloomy. He wanted to say that he didn't believe it at all, but he also knew that Ancestor Ziyun didn't need to lie about this matter.    

Forget about him not being Leader of Empyrean Gods Sect right now, he himself was only at Yuan Combination Stage. Even if he became Leader of Empyrean Gods Sect in the future and was a half-step Grandmaster, he wouldn't dare to threaten a duke so that they could hand over the person.    

"I hope what you said was true. If you dare to lie to me, Sect Leader, then your Hsingyun Peak will suffer the wrath of my Empyrean Gods Sect." On the other side, Qin Lia said with an indifferent tone.    

These words caused the expressions of the Heavenly Cloud Grandmaster and the others to freeze.    

Bearing Qin Lia's anger was different from bearing the anger of Empyrean Gods Sect. The former was a person, while the latter was the entire sect.    

Forget about Hsingyun Peak, even the entire Ancestral Land couldn't stand up to the wrath of these Empyrean Gods Sect.    

However, Ancestor Ziyun, Chen Yu and the rest of the Hsingyun Peak elders all had indifferent expressions. They didn't lie, so what was there to be worried about?    

This scene was naturally witnessed by Qin Lia. Qin Lia squinted his eyes and became more trusting towards Ancestor Ziyun's words.    

Qin Lia obviously didn't have any intention of provoking Commandery Prince of Yunlan. After all, Chen Qiwen wasn't his biological grandson, and Qin Lia himself hated the existence of Chen Qiwen.    

For a mere Chen Qiwen, it was not worth it to offend a duke.    

Thus, Qin Lia suddenly turned around and instantly disappeared into the air, completely ignoring Chen Yanbinn and the Peak Master of Tianxiang Peak.    

It was very obvious that Qin Lia was dissatisfied with Chen Yanbinn and the Peak Master of Tianxiang Peak. After all, just a little bit more and he would have offended an existence that he shouldn't offend for the sake of a junior he was a little disgusted with.    

Chen Yanbinn and the Peak Master of Tianxiang Peak panicked. Compared to finding trouble with Chen Yi, quickly eliminating the displeasure in Qin Lia's heart was naturally more important. Thus, the two of them left behind a cold snort as they flew back to Tianxiang Peak.    

The Heavenly Cloud Ancestor and the other Patriarchs looked at each other in dismay. Before this, they had all thought about the various possibilities, thought about the tragic state of Hsingyun Peak, but had never thought about this one.    

Qin Lia and the other two menacingly rushed over, but ended up ending up like a tiger with its tail between its tail.    

Thus, the Sky Cloud Grandmaster cupped his hands towards Ancestor Ziyun and left after saying a few words.    

Tianxiang Peak, inside the Tianxuan Mansion.    

Qin Lia refused to meet the Tianxiang Peak Peak Master and Chen Yanbinn. If Chen Yanbinn was his son-in-law, he would have had no choice but to give him face.    

Blocked from the door by Qin Lia, the Peak Master of Tianxiang Peak and Chen Yanbinn returned to the main hall to discuss how to deal with Chen Yi.    

The Peak Master of Tianxiang Peak said with a darkened face, "That old fool Zi Yun would not lie, but this matter is too inconceivable. This is the first time I've heard that Acquired Stage can also become a Red Dragon Guard."    

"Yan Bin, send someone to investigate it. Once we confirm it, we can think of another way. In short, we can't go against the Duke."    

Chen Yanbinn replied with a bit of grievance: "Yes."    

The killing intent towards Chen Yi in his heart suddenly rose to the extreme.    

If the killing intent towards Chen Yi before came from his son being seriously injured, then the killing intent now was truly pure killing intent.    

This was because he was very clear that this kid that he had never met before did not intend to let him off!    

Because of what had happened that year, the two sides had long been at death's door.    

The more outstanding Chen Yi was, the more attention the county, and Chen Yanbinn's killing intent became stronger. Chen Yanbinn never would have thought that casually crippling a side branch 20 years ago would bring about such an enemy.    

Chen Yanbinn did not regret his actions back then. He only regretted not getting rid of the roots. Otherwise, what would have happened today.    

"..."    

Yunlan County City, Red Dragon Peak.    

Almost two months had passed since the last time he went into closed door cultivation. It had been three months since Chen Yi went into closed door cultivation.    

On the Red Dragon Island, many gazes from the Red Dragon Guard were cast towards Chen Yi's Red Dragon Peak. They were all curious as to why Chen Yi still had not made the slightest movement.    

Lee Yunzi and Shen Feijia, who became Red Dragon Guard three months ago, had both become Innate.    

Out of the three Acquired Stage s that became Red Dragon Guard, only Chen Yi was left without a breakthrough.
