“That is right. Aren’t the Three Middle Realms capable of communicating with the Three Lower Realms now? Transmit this news to them.” Jiang Chen informed Mu Xuan of everything he knew and asked the Flying Dragon Dynasty to deal with it, because he was taking a trip back to the Nine Heavens Realm.
…..
After Jiang Chen went back to the Nine Heavens Realm, he didn’t alert anyone and just went toward the Alien Battlefield’s channel. This channel was rarely used by the Nine Heavens Realm’s people, and, according to what Jiang Chen knew, it was only Taoist Priest Skywind and Jiang Qingyu who had ever used it.
It could be imagined how great would be the destruction caused by the demons and celestial demons if they managed to come to the Nine Heavens Realm through this channel. Many things needed to be done in the Nine Heavens Realm. He couldn’t do much, but he still spent a large amount of time setting up several great formations around the channel. He fused ancient formations and modern formations to increase their might. The Demon Clan members, who had limited wisdom and knowledge, wouldn’t manage to destroy the formations in a short time.
After Jiang Chen finis.h.i.+ng dealing with this matter, he went back to the True Force Realm. There were only several days left until the appointed battle between Jiang Qingyu and the Holy Wings Clan’s emperor.
Jiang Che then proceeded toward the Three Middle Realms through the Desolate Lands and started gathering Desolate Spirits there. He didn’t find such a task challenging—it was even boring. It was because the Desolate Spirits possessed limited destructive power and they were afraid of lightning.
Meanwhile, the Three Middle Realms became bustling with noise and excitement. A man from the Three Lower Realms was going to challenge the emperor of the Three Upper Realms’ Holy Wings Clan. They would fight in the Three Middle Realms, and it would surely be a dramatic battle. The Three Middle Realms’ people didn’t care about what happened in the True Force Realm, but, as some people made inquiries about it, people learned Jiang Qingyu’s true ident.i.ty. He was unexpectedly Jiang Chen’s father!
Such news gave rise to a great commotion. There wasn’t anyone in the Three Middle Realms who didn’t know the name Jiang Chen. Now his father was coming to the Three Middle Realms to fight the Holy Wings Clan’s emperor, and everyone wanted to see what kind of great man could have given birth to an outstanding son like Jiang Chen.
Besides this, there was still another matter that caught people’s attention. A woman from the Heavenly Martial Arts Realm was challenging genius experts everywhere. She came from the Holy Land of All Beginnings, and it was rumored that she was its saint. She had started from the Spirit Realm, before coming to the Nine Territories and pa.s.sing through the Ten Prefectures. She would always challenge the strongest expert in every land she went through, and she hadn’t suffered a single defeat until now. When she fought the Ice Spirit Clan’s Xue’er in the Spirit Zone, their battle ended in a draw.
There were some people who said that she came here to strengthen herself and acc.u.mulate enough fighting experience. The reason she had come to the Three Middle Realms was that there were powerful members of the Ancient Race, Alien Clans, and evil Kin here. If these people hadn’t been present, she wouldn’t have come to the Three Middle Realms.
“With the Three Middle Realms’ current standards, it would be better for it not to partic.i.p.ate in the Wizard Clan’s banquet. That’s especially the case for the Human Clan as they will just disgrace themselves.” After the saint got an easy victory in the Tenth Prefecture, she was disappointed, and that was what she said in response. The people present noticed that she wasn’t targeting anyone in particular. She just stated that the Three Middle Realms were trash. People from the Three Middle Realms were obviously infuriated, but they didn’t have any way of dealing with her because she possessed lots of power and could act arrogantly if she wanted.
“If Jiang Chen was still here, he would surely manage to defeat her easily,” someone said.
“Don’t make jokes. She is an expert among Star Venerables, and, even though I admit that Jiang Chen is powerful, he has a divine body and it would be impossible for him to break that curse.”
“It is reasonable. It’s only the demonic Jiang Chen who can defeat her.”
The Three Middle Realms’ people revered and wors.h.i.+ped Jiang Chen for a long time. However, it had lasted so long that some people couldn’t accept it any longer, and they believed that Jiang Chen managed to flaunt his power only when he turned into a demon. As a matter of fact, his true fighting prowess was limited to just the Celestial Venerable Realm, and it was obviously too low in this era where myriad clans had appeared. So, if he faced the Seventh Realm’s saint, he would not be a match for her.
However, there were still some who couldn’t accept this, and they stated that if Jiang Chen was still alive, he would probably manage to break the curse.
The Three Middle Realms’ people argued over this ceaselessly, and there were even some who fought because of it. However, this matter didn’t affect the saint’s campaign, and, after she defeated the Ten Prefecture’s genius, she unexpectedly ran into the Desolate Lands.
According to what she had said, she was going to defeat the whole Three Middle Realms. Now, she wasn’t far from achieving that goal because the strongest in the Desolate Lands were just at the Celestial Venerable Realm. So how could they obstruct her?
At this moment, Jiang Chen was traveling through a Forbidden Land among the Desolate Lands and was collecting Desolate Spirits on the way. They were only a few here, but even little drops could form a great ocean. He continued for half a day without resting, and if the life force of the Desolate Spirits collected by him was converted into life span, it would have reached several years. However, it was still low in comparison to what Jiang Qingyu needed. Jiang Chen pondered whether he should go to the Nine Territories’ Forbidden Lands. There were probably more Desolate Spirits there. After he came up with this idea, he immediately decided to carry it out, and he rushed toward the Great Desolate Land.
A s.h.i.+p that had planned to pa.s.s through there and go to the Ten Prefectures ended up running into him. When they were about to enter the Forbidden Desolate Land, Jiang Chen was just exiting, and they collided. Their s.h.i.+p wasn’t something the s.h.i.+p bought by Jiang Chen at random could rival, which was why Jiang Chen’s s.h.i.+p was destroyed. However, the other s.h.i.+p still swayed intensely, and the pa.s.sengers almost fell down.
“What is going on here?”
“Lad, why don’t you take a look at the road ahead of you? You unexpectedly ran into our s.h.i.+p!”
“Where did such a little child come from?”
The people in the s.h.i.+p went to the bow angrily, and, when they witnessed Jiang Chen’s destroyed s.h.i.+p, they didn’t apologize at all. Instead, they started cursing him.
“In the Forbidden Desolate Lands, the people inside can’t see the outside world, while the people outside can see several hundred feet into the Forbidden Desolate Land.”
Jiang Chen spoke coldly, “This is common knowledge in the Three Middle Realms, and one must let the other leave before entering it. It is you who slammed into me, and it is you who are in the wrong.”
Upon hearing this, the people on the s.h.i.+p were taken aback. They didn’t know whether they should laugh or cry.
“Lad, do you know who we are?” A graceful woman said, “Does your family know that you are talking to us in such a tone?”
Jiang Chen curled his lips. He had already noticed that the people on the s.h.i.+p were anything but simple. They were all Star Venerables. Moreover, since they didn’t even know such simple rules, they must be from higher realms.
“You are from a holy land or a divine sect? ” Jiang Chen asked earnestly.
“Well?”
The youngsters on the s.h.i.+p looked amused. They didn’t expect that even the Desolate Lands’ people knew about them.
“Lad, how did you manage to recognize us?”
“It’s because you are all horrid,” Jiang Chen said.
Upon hearing this, the people in the s.h.i.+p didn’t laugh any longer, and anger appeared on their faces. However, since Jiang Chen was just a brat, they didn’t know how they should deal with him.
“Aren’t you afraid that you will invite disaster upon your family?” A horse-faced man spoke coldly. He a.s.sumed that Jiang Chen was an ignorant and arrogant young master of an influential family in the vicinity, and that was why he dared to provoke them.
“You have slammed into my s.h.i.+p, yet you are still threatening me?” Jiang Chen said.
“You are really reckless and ignorant!” The people didn’t expect that even a brat would dare to act that arrogantly. They all wished to give him several slaps.
“Enough! Why are you quarreling with a little child? Aren’t you afraid of becoming laughingstocks?”
It was at this moment that a tall woman walked over slowly. She was wearing tight clothes with a thin white cloak draped over them. She was a graceful and elegant woman!
