Chapter 461: Chapter 382: Fame Shakes the Human Race, Sword Wails to the Heavens

The gazes of the Saints, filled with either astonishment or jealousy, were all sensed by Hong Yuan.

Even he himself was somewhat surprised by the magnificent Azure Lotus Tao Shadow that appeared behind him.

Fortunately, his temperament was steady, and he managed to conceal these anomalies without a change in expression, thinking to himself: 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"The anomaly is the ’Eternal Azure Lotus’; it seems my Sword Tao Incarnation must take the Blue Primordial Treasure Lotus as its Life Spirit Plant."

The next moment, Hong Yuan narrowed his eyes, looking ahead.

WHOOSH—

Multiple streaks of radiant divine rainbows attacked his position, trailing colorful plumes of smoke.

Among them was Master Eastward Flowing.

Master Eastward Flowing clasped his hands in congratulations, "Though it has only been a few years, it feels as if we’ve been separated by an entire cycle. Marquis of Dragon Sword truly is a Supreme Talent; every move you make is rich with Tao Rhyme. It seems that on the Nine Heavens Ancient Path, you will surely be able to break through, and even have the chance to reach the supreme realm of a unique Tao Achievement."

The Nine Heavens Ancient Path. It is said in the legends that those who triumph at its end may attain Tao and prove themselves as an emperor; hence, it is also known as the Emperor’s Path.

The Dragon Sun Emperor was a victor of such an Emperor’s Path rivalry!

It’s not to say that one must walk the Emperor’s Path to achieve Tao. However, the Emperor’s Path is a place of trials, the best arena for Supreme Talents to strive for supremacy and gain experience.

The Nine Heavens Ancient Path, containing endless Creation, ultimately leads towards Bai Heaven!

Bai Heaven, the ultimate place that contains the chance to become an emperor, is rumored to hold the secret of eternal life.

The Great Taoism comprises fifty; Heaven ordains forty-nine, leaving one for cultivators to pursue.

If the destinies of the Human Race and the Demon Clan are likened to direct admission, then walking the Nine Heavens Ancient Path is akin to self-study.

Cultivators who attain Tao by traversing the Nine Heavens Ancient Path face a slim possibility of success; it’s simply not very realistic.

"Hehe, such flattery, such flattery," Hong Yuan shook his head, firmly grasping the Heavenly River Sword that had changed its appearance.

Hearing these words, others quickly stepped forward with flattering compliments.

Wherever people gather, a complex social world with its own intricate dynamics invariably forms.

And "Bo Qing" had already demonstrated his potential.

If "Bo Qing" does not perish, then he will certainly have a place among the future leaders of the Human Race!

"Indeed worthy of being Marquis of Dragon Sword, truly a gentle and magnanimous character."

"Yes. Not only that, but that Azure Lotus Tao Shadow seems to be a manifestation of the Great Emperor Mark, what an exceptional talent! Give Marquis of Dragon Sword time to grow, and what would that insignificant Flood Dragon at Xuan Guangqiao amount to!"

"Such a pity, the Nine Great Dream Seeds have all made their appearance, otherwise our tribe’s Destiny could have possibly descended upon Qing. Clearing six layers of dream realms, such an achievement is too astonishing; you can imagine how exceptional Qing’s mastery in Dream Tao must be."

...

Listening to the Saints’ compliments, Hong Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly.

Indeed, the Human Race and the Demon Clan were no different in essence; they were fundamentally the same.

In the Demon Clan, he was praised by a group of Demon Saints for achieving the Destiny of the Demon Clan. Now, it was not much different.

AHEM.

Suddenly, someone coughed heavily from behind, interrupting the harmonious atmosphere.

The Saints looked towards the newcomer and quickly paid their respects. It was Mou Liang Great Saint!

In a certain sense, Mou Liang Great Saint is the will extension of the current Human Tribe Leader, East Supreme Saint.

Even without any added significance, merely the title of Wisdom Tao Great Saint was enough to overwhelm everyone present.

"Hehe, there’s no need for such formalities," Mou Liang Great Saint said with a gentle smile. He turned his head towards Hong Yuan, "Qing, the Emperor’s son has summoned you."

Hong Yuan’s heart tensed, but he had long been prepared to meet East Supreme Saint. After all, as one of only two who had ventured into the sixth scene of the mysterious Great Emperor’s dreamscape, it was only natural for him to be so highly regarded.

Not to mention, his breakthroughs were made outright and honorably, unlike East Supreme Saint who had expended his Life Span.

WHOOSH—

Two divine rainbows streaked across the sea of clouds, heading straight for the Central Palace.

"Has Bo Qing caught the eye of the Emperor’s son?"

"Isn’t that very normal? Even the Emperor’s son paid a heavy price to break through the sixth scene of the dream realm, but Bo Qing benefited from it instead."

"HISS... I feel like the Emperor’s Son will give Bo Qing a share of that inheritance leading directly to the Dream Tao Saint. In that case, wouldn’t Hua Menghuang have gained the upper hand in the battle for the Destiny of Great Dreams..."

The Saints looked at each other, their eyes measuring one another.

On this journey through the dream realm, "Bo Qing" truly had his fortunes turn, making a complete turnaround!

East Supreme Saint, the eldest legitimate son of Dragon Sun Emperor Dong Zheng Yang, was born divine, a rare Dragon Person in this world!

It is said that the life of the half-serpent, half-human Dragon Sun Emperor was fraught with continuous disasters and endless suffering. In contrast, the half-dragon, half-human East Supreme Saint was blessed with overwhelming heavenly favor and adoration from birth.

At his birth, immortal cranes came to offer congratulations, divine spears appeared in homage, and auspicious purple clouds stretched for three thousand miles.

His emergence even brought prosperity to Dragon Sun Emperor Dong Zheng Yang, enabling him to defeat a formidable enemy and to seize the Destiny of a myriad of tribes.

At the age of three, he could wrestle Flood Dragons; at five, he ventured alone into the long river of years to obtain Time Light Divine Water; and at seven, he entered the ancient forbidden land of demonic gods and brought back a Temporal Tao divine talisman...

All these achievements seemed like fables, beyond belief. Even when compared with many Great Emperors of the past, East Supreme Saint’s experiences were truly outstanding.

Moreover, compared to Dragon Sun Emperor, the Emperor’s son East Supreme Saint possessed more of a Great Emperor’s bearing, making him an absolute fit to be the protagonist of an era in the Human Race’s history.

That’s why the Human Clan Sky Palace has always had high hopes for East Supreme Saint.

The name "Supreme Saint" explains it all!

Such a formidable figure, born seemingly to counter my Demonic Body. Hong Yuan thought with some resignation.
