Chapter 1451: My Name Is Jiang Chen
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Jiang Chen looked for a tavern where he could reside, even though if he just entered Fengyu Tower swaggeringly, none would obstruct him due to his previous performance.
However, the members of the Spirit Sword Mountain and Divine Blade Manor let Jiang Chen get a bad impression of Fengyun Tower.
“This period’s martial-grade experts are all pompous,” Jiang Chen sighed once again.
Five hundred years ago, Xuanhuan Realm’s martial-grade experts had all gone through many trials and wandered near death’s door many times. It was only through this could they get outstanding achievements.
But now, becoming a martial-grade expert became easy, and that was why their style became different than before.
All of a sudden, Jiang Chen got second thoughts about this matter, and he felt like he still didn’t get over the past. Since Martial Emperors and Martial Saints weren’t rare anymore, Martial Sovereigns and Martial G.o.ds wouldn’t be extinct any longer.
In the current era, it was only people who could become Martial Sovereigns or Divine Kings that were true experts.
As Jiang Chen got over this matter, he felt more at ease.
It was at this moment that Keer and Diao Yang came to Jiang Chen’s room.
When they just started residing here, both women went to make inquiries about Ling Long Celestial Palace’s disciple recruitment.
Ling Long Celestial Palace was situated in a mountain range that stretched across a thousand miles, and it was perched high on Heavenly Awakening Plain. Absolute Sky Field was on its southern side, while a sea area was on its eastern side.
The mountain, where it was located, was called Tiger-Dragon Mountain, and if one flew at a high alt.i.tude, he would discover that the mountain’s outline resembled a dragon and a tiger that were fighting each other.
Tiger-Dragon Mountain was a spirit mountain and was suitable for founding a faction. But since the Heavenly Awakening Plain was previously a forbidden land, all great factions didn’t dare to set foot in it.
After this land wasn’t off-limits any longer, Tiger-Dragon Mountain became one of the Divine Martial Arts Realm’s few spirit mountains that weren’t occupied by a faction yet.
However, it was now Ling Long Celestial Palace’s domain.
Ling Long Celestial Palace was located in the depths of the mountain range, and many ridges and peaks could be seen there.
Tiger-Dragon Mountain Range was filled with abundant spiritual energy, and the flow of spiritual energy in it resembled the convergence of myriad rivers in a sea. The spiritual energy there was condensed, and it became like clouds and mist.
At this moment, the palaces and towers, which were recently established there, seemed like a part of a fairyland.
Ling Long Celestial Palace occupied nine peaks, and the main peak was Sky Reaching Peak, while the other eight peaks corresponded to the Celestial Palace’s eight branches.
“It’s rumored that every branch has lost techniques, and it’s rumored that Artifact Universe Peak’s members can teach people how to craft Immortal Artifacts.”
As the two women thought about their objective, they became excited. They wished badly to immediately join one of the branches so that their power could raise quickly, and so that they could get into the limelight.
“You should then work harder,” Jiang Chen said with a faint smile.
The two women responded subconsciously before they discerned that something was amiss. It seemed like Jiang Chen didn’t plan to join Ling Long Celestial Palace, was he?
“Did senior brother Jiang Chen come here to challenge them?” Keer and Diao Yang came up with an explanation, which dispelled their doubts.
“Since Ling Long Celestial Palace was founded, it has taken many disciples, while all factions’ best members came here after they got news of this matter, and they wanted to exchange pointers with the Celestial Palace’s disciples.”
“Anyone who wins a challenge will get a reward from the Celestial Palace.”
It was unavoidable that a new faction that appeared suddenly would be questioned by others. It was obvious that Venerable Hong Yun was powerful, but a faction’s prosperity depended upon all of its members.
After several hundred years pa.s.sed, Ling Long Celestial Palace might become a great ruling faction or a third-rate faction, and everything depended upon this batch of disciples.
Venerable Hong Yun was quite confident, and she didn’t just allow other people to challenge them. She even provided an appropriate reward to them.
“It’s quite interesting,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.
It was a pity that Jiang Chen didn’t come here to challenge the palace.
“I will first go take a trip outside, and I may come back. But it’s also possible that I won’t come back,” Jiang Chen said, before he flew out of the window, and rushed toward Tiger-Dragon Mountain Range.
Keer and Diao Yang didn’t expect that they would separate from each other so suddenly, and they were both at a complete loss. It was only when Jiang Chen flew far away that the two women came back to their senses. They were quite frustrated!
“We have probably reached our life apex in those two days,” Diao Yang muttered.
Women didn’t really have to become a legend, such as the Empyrean G.o.ddess. They could also become a legend’s wife and enjoy a great life.
But it was a pity that as Jiang Chen interacted with the two women in the two previous days, he always kept a calm att.i.tude. He wasn’t too cordial, but he also wasn’t too aloof and ice-cold. However, the two women still felt like they were separated from each other by a great indiscernible distance.
At this moment, the previous event was still discussed in Heavenly Awakening City, and none noticed that a dazzling sword beam flew into Tiger-Dragon Mountain Range.
A road leading to the mountains’ depth was built among the mountains, and an impressive arched door, as well as a plaza for receiving guests, was at the front of the mountain.
“Well? Is this an ancient formation?”
Jiang Chen wanted to fly inside, and go directly to meet Venerable Hong Yun, as if Ling Long Celestial Palace’s disciples or elders discovered that he was just a Martial Emperor, they wouldn’t let him achieve his aims.
However, a formation was set there, and its center was the plaza for receiving guests. It wasn’t a part of this era’s formations, and it resembled the ancient formations learned by Jiang Chen.
After Jiang Chen observed how complex was this formation, he could conjure that Venerable Hong Yun’s Sovereign Spirit had already awakened completely.
The Tiger-Dragon Mountain Range was great and vast, and a single formation wouldn’t be able to thoroughly prevent people from entering it. This was why they set up a detection formation at the outer surroundings, and once Jiang Chen intruded here, Ling Long Celestial Palace’s members would detect it.
As for what would happen after this, many unpleasant words would be exchanged.
This was why Jiang Chen just landed on the plaza for receiving guests.
There were several Ling Long Celestial Palace disciples clad in blue-clothes standing before the arched door. They were still at the Star Venerable Realm, but they wore an arrogant expression, and even when they saw a Martial Emperor like Jiang Chen, they still didn’t restrain themselves.
“I have a.s.sumed that you won’t come down,” a thin youth among those people spoke rudely.
It turned out that they had discovered Jiang Chen that was hesitating while still in the air, and they had already gotten ready to notify their senior brothers and sisters once Jiang Chen decided to intrude here without getting permission.
“Are all Ling Long Celestial Palace’s disciples so impudent?”
When Jiang Chen witnessed the youth’s current att.i.tude, he realized that treating those people politely wouldn’t be of any help. He released his aura as a Martial Emperor, and he still merged faint wisps of his murderous aura with it.
The expression of the Celestial Palace’s disciples changed drastically, and they moved back by several steps.
If a Star Venerable met a martial-grade expert, then he must call him ‘elder’ if there was a large disparity between their age. But if they were all youngsters, he should at least call him ‘senior brother’ or ‘senior sister’ respectfully.
However, those few disciples were disrespectful and overbearing. This was why Jiang Chen had to teach them a little lesson.
“You dare to insult our Ling Long Celestial Palace?” The thin youth kept standing strenuously, and he shouted angrily.
“You have a vile scheming mind.” Jiang Chen curled his lips. This guy wanted to turn this matter into a conflict between Jiang Chen and the whole Ling Long Celestial Palace.
“I’m a martial-grade expert, why you are still at the Star Venerable Realm. You are representing the Ling Long Celestial Palace’s honor, yet you don’t have any etiquette. Is this the att.i.tude of a great faction’s member?” Jiang Chen shouted.
The thin youth was left at a loss of words, and since he was facing the wave of pressure emanating from Jiang Chen, he didn’t dare to flare up.
“Recently, everyone is trying to trample upon our Ling Long Celestial Palace, and this is why my junior brothers let their imagination run wild due to their first impression of you.”
It was at this moment that a white-clothed woman appeared behind the gate.
“Senior sister Zhi Ruo!” When the thin youth saw the person who came, he called her respectfully.
“Sir, I wonder why did you come here? If it’s for challenging the Celestial Palace’s disciples, then it isn’t time for it yet,” the woman called Zhi Ruo questioned Jiang Chen.
“I have come to pay a visit to your faction’s master and supreme Venerable Hong Yun. I have something to discuss with her,” after Jiang Chen spoke, he added something else, “I’m acquainted with your faction’s master, and you should first notify him. Inform him that my name is Jiang Chen.”
When such words echoed, a confused and surprised look appeared on the face of the Celestial Palace’s disciples opposite to Jiang Chen, and it was the case for even the white-clothed woman.
