Chapter 421: Four Zero Four Suppression_2

Nodding, Jiang Chen replied, "Being in the top ten is indeed not enough. There are many talents among the human race, and even more across the three realms. You can’t even rank first in Great Xia, and if you can’t compete with them in the future, I’m afraid the throne of Great Xia will be out of your reach."

Upon hearing this, Xia Zicheng fell silent.

Jiang Chen was right. Ranked only tenth, he really had no chance of inheriting the throne. Those who could inherit the throne were at least in the top three. Otherwise, how could he compete with the talents of other races?

Great Xia was just a corner of the universe and not the entirety of the three realms. The enemies of King Xia were not his subjects, but the powerful overlords of the Immortal Dao that controlled the Dongsheng Divine Continent, and the leaders of other races.

Therefore, the heir of King Xia must be strong. He should not only rank among the talents of the Xia Dynasty but also among the talents of the human race. Just like Jiang Chen at this moment.

Xia Zicheng knew very well that when it came to talents, Jiang Chen was the true top-tier talent in front of his eyes. After cultivating for just over a hundred years, he had already become one of the rare masters in the three realms, even King Xia dared not offend him.

He was truly the number one talent of this era!

Suddenly, Jiang Chen lifted his hand and sent out a divine light, which entered Xia Zicheng’s Sea of Consciousness.

What is this...

With surprise in his heart, Xia Zicheng was about to speak when he heard Jiang Chen say, "This is a strand of my Ancient Martial Arts Intention. If you can refine it, your strength will greatly increase, and you may even have the chance to break through to the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal."

"In that case, there will be very few in Great Xia who can best you."

After testing the Divine Intention, Xia Zicheng indeed felt a supreme will that allowed man to overcome heaven. Immediately, he thanked Jiang Chen excitedly, "Thank you for your generosity."

With this strand of Martial Dao Intention, his strength would undergo a transformation, and he would truly have the capital to fight for the throne. How could he not be excited?

On the other hand, Jiang Chen appeared very calm. He waved his hand and casually said, "There’s no need to thank. I’m simply seeing that you have potential, hence giving you a strand of Martial Dao Intention. If you were not capable, even if I gave it to you, you wouldn’t be able to comprehend it."

Giving Xia Zicheng a strand of Martial Dao Intention was a small matter to Jiang Chen. It was like a chess piece he effortlessly placed on the board, establishing a good relationship. If Xia Zicheng became King Xia one day, the rewards he would receive would be ample.

After waving his hand, Jiang Chen was about to send Xia Zicheng away. Suddenly, a commotion was heard from outside.

With an unhappy frown, Jiang Chen released his consciousness to look outside. He saw people from the ancestral land arguing with the guards, seemingly trying to force their way in.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen was filled with anger, and he shouted, "How audacious!"

As he spoke, a great force erupted from him, sweeping the people from the ancestral land into the hall.

There were a few thuds, and the people from the ancestral land fell from mid-air, landing ungracefully on the smooth floor.

Before they could get up, Jiang Chen coldly asked, "Is this how the rules of the ancestral land are taught? Entering someone else’s palace without the owner’s permission?"

Ignoring Jiang Chen’s question, the person from the ancestral land shouted back, "Jiang Chen, how dare you disrespect us? Do you know who we are?"

"We are the envoys of the ancestral land, representing its will. Disrespecting us is trampling on the majesty of the ancestral land."

Continuing the shouting, someone else chimed in, "Hurry up and apologize to us. Otherwise, we will report today’s incident to the higher-ups of the ancestral land and have them severely punish you."

"As for your reward, it’s gone. Consider it as a punishment for your disrespect towards us."

Hearing their ranting, Jiang Chen was dumbfounded, not scared, but shocked. He had long known that the envoys of the ancestral land had developed an arrogant attitude due to their high official positions.

Indeed, wherever they went, people fawned over and tried to please them. Over time, they gradually lost themselves, believing they were superior to everyone else.

However, he had not expected them to be so excessively arrogant.

Punishing Jiang Chen, confiscating his rewards? Did they really think the ancestral land was their personal property, that they could do whatever they pleased? Had their brains been eaten by monsters?

Such nonsense was truly ridiculous, to the point where he did not even feel like commenting.

Seeing their attitude, Jiang Chen was too lazy to continue arguing. He directly attacked, activating the Creation Pagoda, and let down a strand of divine light, intending to suppress them all.

The ancestors didn’t expect Jiang Chen to suddenly attack. They had been many places and never seen such a bold person.

Therefore, facing Jiang Chen’s attack, they were stunned at first. Only then did they realize what happened and immediately used their divine abilities to struggle desperately.

"Jiang Chen, how dare you attack us. Do you no longer respect the ancestral land and the human race?"

"If you dare to suppress us, you’re done for. The ancestral land will not let you go. Even if you’re a descendant of the Flame Emperor, a royal child, it won’t be acceptable."

"You will certainly pay the price!"

"Ah ah ah——"

Roars of anger came from the mouths of the people from the ancestral land. Their extreme rage distorted the void space.

Great Luo Golden Immortals, all six of these visitors from the ancestral land were Great Luo Golden Immortals. Powerful forces erupted from their bodies, continuously colliding with the divine light that enveloped them, trying to break away from Jiang Chen’s suppression and escape.

Unfortunately, their power, though strong, was still not on par with that of the thirty-three-day Creation Pagoda. Jiang Chen only needed one word, "Quiet!", to subdue them.
