Chapter 997 Identity (1/2)
Inside the azure Law Domain.
Somewhere in the Law Domain, Chi Jing stood with her hands clasped behind her back, with Zhou Yuan standing behind her.
“The top five forces have declared war on the Tianyuan Region?” Zhou Yuan couldn’t help quivering when he heard Chi Jing’s words.
He knew exactly what this meant: a war of a terrifying scale was about to begin.
He had never seen a war of such scale before. Although palace master Sheng Yuan had started the Cangxuan Saint Stamp War back in Cangxuan Heaven, the scale couldn't be compared to this time even though that war had also involved other sacred sects. If it weren’t for the fact that palace master Sheng Yuan possessed half-Saint strength, the Sacred Palace couldn’t compare to the Tianyuan Region at all.
The combined strength of the Tri-Mountain Alliance, Crimson Cloud Sword Sect, Venomous Dragon Palace and other forces wouldn’t be weaker than the Tianyuan Region.
As a result, the war was bound to be extremely tragic, and the entire Hunyuan Heaven would lose its brilliance because of it.
Chi Jing’s face was covered with frost as she said, “The Wanzu Region must have manipulated all this. Moreover, supreme sovereign Wan Zu has been preparing for this for a long time, if we consider how the Tri-Mountain Alliance and the other top forces had risen after our master’s disappearance.
“Therefore, supreme sovereign Wan Zu must have planned this day for a long time. Also, you just won first place in the nine regions tournament. If the Ancestral Dragon Lantern fell into the Tianyuan Region’s hand, the Tianyuan Region would possess terrifying means, and supreme sovereign Wan Zu didn’t want to see this happen. Therefore, he is beginning to reveal his plan.”
Zhou Yuan's face darkened, and he hissed through clenched teeth, “That old dog!”
He had worked incredibly hard for almost two years to win first place in the nine regions tournament. The Ancestral Dragon Lantern was almost in his hands, but supreme sovereign Wan Zu had suddenly appeared and obstructed him. How could he not be angry?
Chi Jing comforted, “There is no need to be upset. The Wanzu Region is still hindered by the rules, so it can’t take action and can only support the Tri-Mountain Alliance, Crimson Cloud Sword Sect and the other forces. Now that supreme sovereign Wan Zu has thrown out all his cards, as long as our Tianyuan Region can withstand this onslaught, he will have to hand over the Ancestral Dragon Lantern in the end.”
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said, “Supreme sovereign Wan Zu most likely wants to force the Tianyuan Region onto a road to death and make our master appear in Hunyuan Heaven.”
Chi Jing nodded. “If our master appears, he will fall into supreme sovereign Wan Zu’s scheme. For people of their levels, even a small flaw revealed could bring endless dangers.
“Therefore, we can’t let his plan succeed!
“I have sent a letter to several other grand elders. When we return to the Tianyuan Utopia, we will prepare for battle. The Tianyuan Region has to win this war!”
Zhou Yuan nodded. He pondered for a moment and explained the conversation he had with supreme sovereign Wu Shen in the Fallen Abyss.
“As I thought, it was supreme sovereign Wu Shen who interfered. But it’s a good thing. The Tianyuan Region’s situation isn’t too good, and we can’t anger the Wushen Region,” Chi Jing said apologetically. As Zhou Yuan’s senior sister, she couldn’t help him get justice.
Zhou Yuan smiled, expressing his understanding. Moreover, he still had a pretty good harvest this time. At the very least, he took back a part of the Sacred Dragon Blessing from Wu Yao. If he could find the time to integrate it, he most likely could progress further in the Ancestral Dragon Scripture.
Although he might not be able to increase his Genesis Qi to the grade-9 Galaxy Sacred Dragon Qi, it was possible to increase it from grade 7 to grade 8. Even so, his strength would no doubt skyrocket.
