"Qingxuan, Wuhuan, come with me. The Little Ancestor has summoned you." The Golden Crow Clan Supreme said. Wuhuan's face turned pale. The "Little Ancestor" mentioned by the Supreme was Wu Xiao.
They've only been separated for a short time, and yet they've already caused such a commotion. He feels like he's in deep trouble this time.
"it is good."
Xia Mangqing nodded without hesitation, and then left with the Supreme Being, along with Wu Huan, whose face was pale.
"I recall that the strongest successor of the Golden Crow Clan at the Escape One Realm seems to be from the 'Golden' lineage, while the one who guided this young friend Qingxuan is from the 'Crow' lineage. I'm afraid that before our strongest successor even has a chance to fight him, there will already be some internal strife and turmoil within the Golden Crow Clan."
The Pan family's supreme leader smiled calmly. He was somewhat curious about this spectacle, but unfortunately, as the Pan family's representative in the immortal realm, he needed to guard the area for a certain number of years before he could leave.
I'm afraid I'll miss the show.
"That young master of that clan also comes from the 'Gold' lineage, and is even the brother of the strongest successor at the Escape One Realm. Young friend Qingxuan, you certainly can't avoid this confrontation."
Old Kun chuckled, clearly enjoying the show.
"The one at the Escape One Realm is no match for young friend Qingxuan. As for that young adult, he would not bully the weak. The Golden Crow Clan would not allow it. If a real fight were to break out, it might be thousands or tens of thousands of years from now before we have a chance to see it."
The several supreme beings discussed with smiles.
The most intense competition in the realm of humanity is among the young masters of the various Immortal King lineages. The supreme beings of each lineage, and even many True Immortals, will pay attention and be curious.
The arrival of Xia Mangqing means that the Golden Crow Clan will no longer be quiet, and many interesting things will happen.
On the other side, led by that supreme being, Xia Mangqing and Wu Huan arrived at a valley. In the valley was a small courtyard, like a paradise, where two beings could be seen playing chess.
Xia Mangqing and the others stood outside the courtyard waiting, but they were not simply standing there. Their eyes were fixed on the chessboard, where they saw the clash of the Dao. It was not just a game of chess, but a contest between two great Daos. Invisiblely, peerless techniques were being performed, which was wonderfully unparalleled.
Xia Mangqing watched the game of chess and gained many insights.
"Huh————"
Inside the courtyard, a refined hermit sat opposite Wu Xiao. Sensing something amiss, he asked with some surprise, "Brother Wu Xiao, just who is your junior brother?"
Wu Xiao glanced sideways at Xia Mangqing, his expression a mixture of admiration and shock, before finally chuckling, "I don't know much either, but such comprehension is truly astonishing."
They played chess here, demonstrating the principles of Tao and Dharma. Xia Mangqing and the others benefited greatly from watching the game.
However, how much benefit they can gain is also closely related to their understanding and cultivation.
Among the three, Xia Mangqing and Wu Huan gained the least insight, but Xia Mangqing, not the Golden Crow Clan Supreme, benefited the most.
This situation is hard to imagine.
A supreme being, having comprehended the Great Dao of True Immortality, gained insights that were ultimately inferior to those of a young man at the Transcendent Realm.
It can't be that his cultivation level is inferior. There's only one possibility: Xia Mangqing's comprehension far surpasses that of the Golden Crow Clan Supreme, to the point that they're not even on the same level.
"This young man is indeed amazing. He has probably figured out the secrets of our game." The hermit-like immortal praised him. Although their game did not involve the most core and fundamental Dao and Law, it was simply unbelievable that a cultivator at the Escape One Realm could understand it.
"Hmm————" Wu Xiao was equally amazed. With Xia Mangqing's comprehension, even the young adult of the Golden Crow Clan was far inferior, and the gap was huge.
"A peerless genius has indeed emerged from the nine heavens and ten earths."
Wu Xiao thought to himself, then smiled and said, "The outcome is still undecided, fellow Daoist, let's continue."
"Hahaha, good, continue." The hermit laughed. He knew that Wu Xiao was trying to benefit his own descendants, but he didn't care too much and continued to play chess with him.
In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed, the game of chess ended, and Xia Mangqing and the others gradually woke up.
"Come in."
Wu Xiao's voice rang out, and Xia Mangqing and the other two entered the courtyard and then respectfully greeted the two True Immortals.
"You're quick to cause trouble."
Wu Xiao looked at Xia Mangqing as if questioning her.
"But I can solve it."
Xia Mangqing replied calmly, "Besides, I originally wanted to compete with the geniuses of the Immortal Realm. Even if today's events hadn't happened, I would still challenge some people in the future."
"Oh?" Both Wu Xiao and the hermit immortal became interested, and the former then asked, "Why?"
"I am not from the Immortal Realm. Just because they don't say certain things doesn't mean I can't sense them. Even Fellow Daoist Wu Huan treats me with arrogance and condescension," Xia Mangqing said frankly.
"I----"
"Shut up."
Wu Huan was about to explain when Wu Xiao stopped him, then looked at Xia Mangqing and said, "Continue."
Xia Mangqing nodded: "Just as I said, they look down on me who comes from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and I also think they are nothing special. This confrontation is inevitable and will break out sooner or later."
"Moreover, if I want to establish myself in the Immortal Realm and in the Golden Crow Clan, I must fight—fight against Heaven, fight against Earth, fight against humanity. Since that's the case, why worry about when conflicts and clashes will break out?"
"If an enemy comes to fight, I will naturally suppress them. What is there to fear?"
Xia Mangqing smiled calmly as she said this, "Moreover, the result was not unexpected."
"What do you mean?"
The hermit immortal asked with a smile.
"As I said, they are very weak."
Xia Mangqing said calmly, but Wu Huan's face turned ashen, because his strength was only about the same as those young people, which meant that he was also very weak.
This guy is really arrogant!
The Golden Crow Clan Supreme was equally surprised, because Xia Mangqing dared to speak so frankly in front of a True Immortal, which was truly astonishing. He even suddenly felt that his strongest successor was probably not qualified to be Xia Mangqing's opponent.
"Hahaha—" The hermit immortal laughed loudly: "Wu Xiao, your junior brother is extraordinary, his spirit is remarkable."
Wu Xiao smiled, but still cautioned Xia Mangqing, "Since you've made your decision, be prepared. What you said today will bring you many rivals."
"Mm." Xia Mangqing nodded.
The next day, Wu Xiao left with Xia Mangqing, while Wu Huan was left behind in the Immortal Sect to train. It was clear that Wu Xiao was not very satisfied with his performance.
"The Golden Crow Clan of the Immortal Realm has three lineages."
"The lineage of metal, the lineage of black, and the lineage of yang."
In an ancient realm, a galaxy stretches across the void. Amidst countless stars, Wu Xiao, carrying Xia Mangqing, journeys through time.
At the same time, he was also explaining some of the situation of the Golden Crow Clan to Xia Mangqing: "The ancestors of the three lineages all had Immortal Kings in charge, but now only the Golden lineage still has a King."
"Our master, Xuanzu, is of the Wu lineage, and you will also belong to our lineage from now on."
Xia Mangqing nodded. This was precisely the reason for the strength of the Golden Clan; their lineage's Immortal King was still alive, making them among the most powerful in the Immortal Realm.
One such situation exists, and it's normal for younger generations to be more assertive.
Of course, once you reach the level of a Celestial King, your vision cannot be limited to one lineage. At least in terms of the general direction, you must prioritize the overall interests of the Golden Crow Clan, otherwise the other two lineages simply cannot survive.
"Senior brother, given what I said yesterday, there are probably some people in the clan who would like to spar with me, right?" Xia Mangqing asked.
"What, are you scared?"
Wu Xiao smiled and asked in return.
Xia Mangqing shook her head: "I was just thinking, could we have them come together to avoid trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiao's smile widened: "Why not? I can grant your wish today. I hope you won't disappoint us."
"Alright." Xia Mangqing smiled. Coming to the Golden Crow Clan, it wouldn't be bad to first seize the title of the strongest successor. As for the young master, that will have to wait until he enters the Supreme Realm.
The void and the starry river receded as Wu Xiao, carrying Xia Mangqing, swiftly traversed this ancient realm. Finally, with the help of a teleportation array in a celestial city, they arrived at their destination—Golden Crow City.
This is one of the most magnificent cities in the Immortal Realm. Its origin and end are unknown. It is incredibly vast, one of the royal cities that has stood since ancient times. The sun, moon, and stars revolve around it, making it seem like the center of this ancient universe.
Golden light illuminated the boundless void, supremely masculine and powerful. The colossal city stood there, exuding invincible might and immortality, radiating a rich celestial aura, destined to endure through the ages and never perish.
This is a city of immortal kings, existing since ancient times. In fact, according to the legends of the Golden Crow Clan, this city existed as early as the era of the Emperor's Demise and is one of the origins of the Golden Crow mythology.
Xia Mangqing entered the city with Wu Xiao and could see many powerful beings, even sensing the aura of a Supreme Being.
In the center of the city stands a towering golden tree, seemingly reaching to the heavens. Its canopy seems to cover the entire city, exuding an immortal will and the ultimate mystery of pure Yang.
This is a Sun God Tree, and it seems to have undergone some kind of transformation, becoming a truly peerless immortal root. Even if it is not as good as the legendary Sun God Tree, it is still mysterious and extraordinary.
The moment Xia Mangqing entered the city, its aura was revealed, resonating with the seedling within its body.
Splash splash splash~
Just then, the Sun God Tree swayed, and a golden leaf, as red as divine fire, fell down. Countless creatures were astonished, but then the leaf landed on Xia Mangqing and immediately seemed to melt into his body.
"You're lucky."
Wu Xiao's eyes flickered slightly. These divine fire leaves were extremely special, formed from the essence of the Sun God Tree. They had many miraculous effects, but were extremely rare, and few living beings could obtain them.
"It must be related to the sapling of the Sun God Tree inside my body."
Xia Mangqing stated frankly that he had just felt wisps of power that first circled his limbs and bones before entering the seedling.
The sapling of the Sun Tree also grew and changed as a result.
"Hmm." Wu Xiao nodded, then looked at a branch of the Sun God Tree, where an ancient realm was supported, shrouded in celestial mist, hazy and vast, but the scenery within could be seen.
"Those people are already waiting for you in that ancient realm."
Wu Xiao said that he had previously promised Xia Mangqing that he would gather together the clan's geniuses and prodigies who were willing to fight him, and now he was fulfilling his promise.
Upon hearing this, Xia Mangqing looked over and indeed saw some young people, all of whom possessed extraordinary bearing and exuded a strong sense of pressure.
In addition, there are many "spectators," mainly those below the Supreme level, numbering in the tens of thousands, but there are also a few Supremes.
"That is Jin Fan, the strongest successor of our clan at the Escape One Realm. His elder brother is also a leading figure in the field of humanity in our clan today, standing at the pinnacle of the Supreme Realm, with cultivation far beyond your imagination."
Wu Xiao said that among those young people, there was a golden-haired, golden-eyed being with a golden sun hanging behind his head and his whole body shrouded in golden light. He was very extraordinary and much stronger than the other geniuses he had seen before.
The leading figures of the Immortal King clan in a certain era inevitably stand in the realm of supreme beings, each of them being unimaginably powerful and truly invincible.
"The people around him are all quite impressive as well."
Xia Mangqing said that besides Jin Fan, there are three other powerful beings whose auras alone are no less than Jin Fan's.
"Of course, they all once competed with Jin Fan for the position of the strongest successor, but unfortunately they were defeated by a few moves."
Wu Xiao said, pointing to a woman, "That's Wu Xi, the strongest genius in our lineage. Go easy on her."
In Wu Xiao's view, it's hard to say whether Xia Mangqing or his elder brother Jin Fan is stronger or weaker. After all, by the time Xia Mangqing becomes a Supreme, his elder brother Jin Fan will have been immersed in the Supreme realm for many years, always having the advantage of time. Xia Mangqing may not be able to win.
However, in the realm of Escape One, Xia Mangqing is indeed invincible. When he made his move before, he had been distracted and observed, and could see that Xia Mangqing had at least the combat power that was infinitely close to the Supreme Realm.
Moreover, he has not yet restored his cultivation. Once he does, he will surely be able to rival the Supreme Being.
Throughout history, the Immortal Realm may have produced some extraordinary figures capable of crossing such a formidable barrier, but these young people of the Golden Crow Clan at the Escape One Realm are definitely not among them.
Therefore, Wu Xiao knew very well that they had no chance of winning against Xia Mangqing.
"Don't worry, senior brother, I know what I'm doing."
Xia Mangqing laughed, then transformed into a rainbow and vanished into that realm.
The beings in the ancient realm immediately sensed an astonishing fluctuation. In the next instant, the rolling clouds were torn apart by golden light, as if a golden sun had leaped out of the sea of clouds, and a figure appeared.
"I've heard that you all want to fight me."
Xia Mangqing descended through the void, unleashing the power of heaven and earth with his Qilin Step, each step creating a new realm, aiming to suppress this world.
"Who's coming?"
Nine steps later, Xia Mangqing appeared in mid-air, as if he had transformed into the only light in this world. His intense and dazzling aura raged across the heavens and earth, terrifying beyond measure.
"How can he be so strong?!"
The void was sealed off, and 99% of the young people below the Supreme level were suppressed and unable to move.
This was only because Xia Mangqing dispersed his power. If it were targeted at a few specific beings, he could suppress all those below the Supreme level!
"Truly impressive—no wonder he was accepted as a disciple by the Xuanzu."
"Brother Jin Teng, once he enters the Supreme Realm, he may truly become your formidable rival."
In one area, several young supreme beings were watching the battle.
One of the young men stood with his hands behind his back, feeling the pressure emanating from Xia Mangqing, yet his gaze remained calm and indifferent.
He is Jin Teng, the "young master" of this era of the Golden Crow Clan, a true genius who now stands in the realm of supreme beings, looking down on his peers and chasing after the peerless existences of the older generation.
"To be my enemy? That's absurd."
Jin Teng's tone was calm, yet filled with arrogance: "I'll give him time, but he will never be my match."
The other young supreme beings beside him smiled without saying a word. Jin Teng had the confidence to say that, after all, he was one of the most powerful among his peers in the entire Immortal Realm.
"So, do you think he won or lost this battle?"
A supreme being spoke, from the Black Pulse, with a smile.
Jin Teng remained silent for a moment, but still said frankly, "It's good that Jin Fan suffered a defeat. With his talent and cultivation, he should have broken through to the Supreme Realm long ago. It's a pity that his temperament is a bit lacking."
"If we can overcome this defeat, we may be able to rise against the tide and officially enter the Supreme Realm."
Although he is Jin Fan's elder brother, it must be admitted that, in terms of Xia Mangqing's skill alone, there are very few young people below the Supreme level who can match him.
In his view, Xia Mangqing should be a peerless genius who is limited by his age. His understanding of the Dao and the Law is probably at the Supreme level. However, the Supreme level is an insurmountable barrier. Even if one's cultivation and realm are sufficient, it is difficult to cross it.
This is what is known as the five-hundred-year curse.
Moreover, five hundred years is just a minimum limit. In fact, even most Immortal Kings only achieve enlightenment and step into the Supreme Realm at the age of one or two thousand.
