Chapter 1839: Chapter 270: Promise

The sound of myriad ravines accompanies the celestial music, while a thousand peaks stand silently beneath the setting sun.

Considering the great battles that took place in Zhongzhou during the dark age, the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountain was a decisive element that could not be overlooked.

This was once the old nest of the Dragon Clan, home to the Yellow Dragon, White Dragon, Red Dragon, and Black Dragon branches. The scene of hundreds of dragons patrolling the nest in spring was a calamity unavoidable for countless tribes.

Even the Han Family faced repeated setbacks in their campaigns against the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountain.

But as the number of Human Race sages increased, the four Dragon Clan branches on the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountain could no longer withstand their relentless attacks and were forced to migrate.

As a renowned blessed land in Zhongzhou, the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountain housed a sect of the three races, each with a long and deep history.

Although the news of Longyuan’s resurfacing was intercepted layer by layer by the Dutian Heavenly King, within the territory of Ten Thousand Immortal Mountain, it was no secret.

The Ten Thousand Immortal Sect initially planned to tear open and absorb this Spirit Realm on their own, but unfortunately, the Divine Court arrived too quickly, forcing them to spit out the fat that could have been swallowed and discuss new distribution rules.

However, as the contents were still being discussed, a new force intervened, unexpectedly receiving the news, and the people from the Palace of Striking Swan also arrived.

In addition, the three forts of White Dragon, Red Dragon, and Black Dragon residing on Ten Thousand Immortal Mountain were also informed.

This made Ten Thousand Immortal Mountain truly lively, with everyone showing intense interest in the suddenly resurfaced Longyuan, determined to claim it at all costs.

If today, the Divine Court encountered an ordinary clan, Son of Yuheng, who led the team, would naturally set the rules of the game. But Longyuan happened to fall at this thorny place and meet that thorny fellow.

The Holy Child of the Palace of Striking Swan—Yao Gekuang.

An Yuheng looked at the man surrounded by the strongmen of the three forts and couldn’t help but think how troublesome it was.

If possible, he truly did not wish to encounter this guy so soon.

Good dishes should always be saved for last, much like how all prior Dao Children built their reputations; a warrior’s fame is wielded.

Even with an effective weapon like the Dutian Heavenly King patrols, no promotion could make those who truly understand begrudgingly admit that the Holy Land Dao Child is unrivaled.

Reality shows, no Holy Land has a Dao Child that could remain mighty generation after generation; mostly, it is a cyclical stage, where after one finishes singing, someone else steps up, a situation of ten years at the east of the river and ten years at the west.

Much like how the Four Little Saints of the previous generation were unmatched, yet currently, the Wang Family, Xu Family, Wuxiang Zen Temple, and Martial Saint Mountain have no outstanding warriors.

These years, visits between Superior Heavenly Sects and Holy Lands extensively illuminated the strengths and weaknesses hierarchy, with the most spotlighted being Yao Gekuang of the Palace of Striking Swan and An Yuheng of the Divine Court.

Among them, An Yuheng had a greater reputation, partly because the Palace of Striking Swan, though powerful, remained in a semi-reclusive state.

Additionally, due to An Yuheng having more supporters, those true disciples betting their lives on him spared no effort in promoting his fame.

The benefits of such efforts are evident, as a Divine Monarchy of one court mustn’t simply be a warrior; he must possess considerable abilities and means.

Even if truly reluctant to invest energy into these trivial matters, one must possess the skill of identifying and employing talents.

An Yuheng undoubtedly met all expectations of the elders in the Divine Court for the young ones, so in recent years, the Star Lords were happy to delegate public-facing tasks to him, enhancing his prestige.

An Yuheng did not disappoint the Divine Court; wherever he traversed these years, he achieved victory effortlessly. More importantly, this Divine Court Holy Child wasn’t merely domineering but was poised and gracious, leaving room for maneuver in all matters.

This conduct altered perceptions of the Divine Court’s tyranny among many noble families, further exalting this strong yet courteous Holy Child.

This was a deliberately crafted scenario by An Yuheng, as his goal is not merely to be a Divine Monarchy of one palace; he has greater ambitions.

And in his plan to establish prestige, Yao Gekuang is undoubtedly a crucial link.

Simply put, how long would it take An Yuheng to visit each Superior Heavenly Sect across West Xiehe with inefficient mountain-visiting methods?

But with Yao Gekuang, it would be different; this Holy Child of Palace of Striking Swan had a fierce demeanor, every strike was full-force.

By having him visit every Holy Land and Heavenly Sect in West Xiehe, stepping over all current Holy Children and Dao Children, then to personally defeat him swiftly and cleanly.

This way, not only saving time but also garnering immense fame, it’s practically a win-win situation.

Who would have thought that the top stepping stone in one’s eyes would appear before him at such an untimely moment?

Truly a fellow with no foresight.

Deep within the snowy forest, Boundary Masters of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect were sealing the Spirit Realm, for Zhongzhou, once dominated by Demon Kings, had never ceased researching the Minor Spiritual Realm.

Since Longyuan’s resurfacing, the Boundary Masters had accurately sensed from the void, preparing an earlier established formation, locked onto the Spirit Realm’s space. Though the news of Longyuan’s return was sealed, within a certain group, it was well known.

And the ownership of Longyuan would undoubtedly belong to one of the forces currently occupying the place.

With a tall and imposing figure and a carefree expression, An Yuheng greeted the approaching group: "Greetings, Holy Child Yao, greetings seniors, what teachings does your visit to Ten Thousand Immortal Mountain entail?"

The strongmen of the three dragon forts were originally the hosts of Ten Thousand Immortal Mountain, but now following Yao Gekuang like attendants.

The Holy Child of the Palace of Striking Swan slowly stepped forward, halting just a few steps away from An Yuheng.

"Mountain visit, challenge."

Returning the greeting plainly, Yao Gekuang straightforwardly declared his intent: "Seeing the Spirit Realm resurfacing, here to contest!"

Without any disguise, the Holy Child of the Palace of Striking Swan clearly stated his purpose, and it was this natural tone that made the strongmen following the three forts stand straighter.

In a world with few heroes, most people are verbally modest while hungering madly inside; someone like Yao Gekuang, consistent inside and out, always appeared exceptionally powerful.

So powerful that An Yuheng didn’t know how to respond; it was rather the envoy of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect who sighed and said, "Holy Child Yao, this Longyuan fell on the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountain. Now, it’s the Boundary Masters of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect at work opening the portal. This immediate declaration to contest seems too domineering!"

"Fifty years ago, the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountain domain opened a secret realm and obtained a peculiar stone called Star Moon, belonging to the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect. The sect leader pledged orally that if any future secret realms or Spirit Realms opened in the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountain domain, not a fraction would be taken."

Yao Gekuang glanced at the envoy of Ten Thousand Immortal Mountain who spoke and remarked calmly: "It’s time to fulfill that old promise!"

Zhongzhou is a dense network of connections. Every famous sect and noble house, tracing back a thousand years, were side-by-side allies.

This kindred bond persisted to this day, constituting an unbreakable iron line, shocking the envoy of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect.
