Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 665 - 312: It’s him! It’s him! It’s Wang Xiu!_1

Han Sancheng had a kind and amicable face. Any expression on it made it difficult to associate him with anything unpleasant. He was unassuming, neither tall nor sharp-eyed. With his head full of white hair, a long beard, and a stooped figure, anyone in a marketplace would assume he was just a little old man who loved basking in the sun. He seemed as harmless as could be.

Yet, the chaotic battle that had engulfed countless beings in this mountain range ceased because of him.

Upon seeing him, people from all the major powers stopped their actions in unison, even those who had been at a critical moment in their fight, sacrificing their longevity or detonating their Magical Treasures. The next moment, they all fell silent, like sleeping kittens.

They were utterly docile.

This was not only because the seemingly amiable old man was, in fact, a Heavenly Immortal who had survived sixteen Heavenly Tribulations. It was also because of the red jade plaque hanging at his waist.

Its hue was gentle and its texture cool, radiating a faint, warm light. But the two characters engraved on it, even in the darkest moment before dawn, remained dazzling and compelling, immediately capturing the attention of every powerful expert.

—Sky Monitor!

The Nine Heavens were filled with experts from countless diverse entities like ancient clans, great sects, and Di Clans. Even in the Yaoguang Heavenly Realm alone, there were colossal entities like the Dragon Clan, the Yi Clan, the Phoenix Clan, the Ji Clan, and the Xuan Yuan Clan.

Each of these forces had an extremely glorious past.

But if one were to ask who truly reigns over the Yaoguang Heavenly Realm, even a three-year-old child could confidently give the answer. There is only one: The Holy Land of Yaoguang!

The term "Holy Land" is held in the highest reverence in the Nine Heavens. What makes it special is not just its terrifying power and foundation, but also its unique status.

Unlike the usual great sects and ancient clans, the Holy Land is not merely a single power. It is the unified will of the most powerful beings that have existed in the Yaoguang Heavenly Realm since time immemorial.

Major forces like the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Ji Clan each had supreme beings who once walked the world. Some even had figures at the level of a Great Emperor. Yet, even those exalted beings never led their own clans or forces to replace the Holy Land. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Instead, they chose to integrate into the Holy Land, to join it. For reasons unknown, it seemed to have become a consensus that at the highest level, there should only be one voice.

This was less like a Celestial Realm filled with chaotic battles among warlords and more like a secular dynasty. No matter how dynasties changed, the nation remained the same. Only the person sitting on the throne changed.

* * *

In truth, there is no essential difference between the secular world and the Cultivation World, as all paths ultimately lead to the same Great Dao. The great worldly trend of division and unity doesn't just apply to mortals; it is the same in the world of Cultivators.

For countless years, the Holy Land of Yaoguang has seen the emergence of countless Great Abilities, Great Emperors, Supremes, and Ancient Emperors. They came from different races and held different beliefs, but in the end, they all merged into one.

There are many reasons for this. For example, the external threat of the Demon Race forced the beings of the Nine Heavens to band together for mutual protection. Another reason is that those who reach the pinnacle of existence possess a scope of vision and breadth of mind that ordinary people cannot fathom. In the face of the Dao, so-called racial divisions, grudges, and vendettas are trivial.

Whatever the reason, no matter who took charge of the Holy Land and became the supreme ruler of this sky, they seemed no different from their predecessors. The formerly bloodthirsty reined in their murderous impulses. The previously cold and indifferent began to consider the well-being of other beings living under the same sky. It seemed as if the position itself could subtly influence and educate anyone.

But regardless, after so many years, the status of the various Holy Lands within their respective celestial realms had long been as stable as Mount Tai, utterly unshakable.

The Holy Land of Yaoguang, as the supreme existence within the Yaoguang Heavenly Realm, was naturally mysterious. Its disciples mostly lived reclusively and seldom made public appearances. They seemed isolated from the world, as if the strife and contention of the mortal world were irrelevant to them, their hearts set only on pursuing the Dao.

But the Holy Land was not just a sacred place for cultivation. It also shouldered the responsibility of overseeing the world.

Thus, the Sky Monitor Division was established.

* * *

Compared to those in the Holy Land who single-mindedly pursued the Dao, the members of the Sky Monitor Division, despite being sufficiently low-key, appeared in the mortal world far more frequently. And so, they became well-known to the people. But the more one interacted with them, the more one understood the unknowable and terrifying nature of the Holy Lands, filling their hearts with awe.

At this moment, the powerhouses from the Nine Peaks Sect, the Taiqing Sect, and other great sects gazed at the amiable-looking Han Sancheng, groaning inwardly.

It seems the commotion last night was indeed too great. To think it even disturbed this esteemed individual.

"Gentlemen, that was quite a lively fight you had!" Han Sancheng said with a smile, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. An intangible pressure instantly descended upon them, sending a chill down their spines. "From ten thousand miles away, I could still hear the shouts of battle. They were truly deafening, as if an ancient battlefield had descended upon this place…"

"Elder Han, my subordinates were impulsive and got carried away. Please forgive us!" An elder from the Nine Peaks Sect stepped forward. His long beard reached his chest, his presence was majestic, and he was clearly a formidable Earth Immortal Realm powerhouse. Though usually high and mighty and revered by thousands, he seemed quite nervous at this moment.

"Yes, yes, it was all impulsive! Please forgive us, Elder Han!" the others chimed in repeatedly.

Han Sancheng said calmly, "You all know the rules of the Holy Land. If 'impulsive' was a sufficient explanation, why would I have bothered to make this trip?"

Hearing this, the crowd's expressions shifted slightly.

The Holy Land had its laws. In the Cultivation World, killing and plundering were common, so the Holy Land wouldn't normally intervene in ordinary skirmishes and contests—it had neither the time nor the inclination. But once a commotion grew too large and dragged in too many living beings, the Holy Land was forced to step in.

The battle last night, a chaotic melee between two or three dozen of the most renowned powers in the Yaoguang Heavenly Realm, had already caused a severely negative impact.

Looking down, the once lush and prosperous mountain range was now a scarred wasteland. Even some nearby towns had been caught in the disaster. Seeing this, the faces of everyone present turned grim.

Suddenly, a powerhouse from the Taiqing Sect gritted his teeth and said, "Elder Han, last night's events were truly strange. Someone must have been instigating things from the shadows!"

The others frowned upon hearing this. They hadn't had time to think during the fight, but now it was obvious. For so many powers to experience similar incidents simultaneously was far too bizarre. Someone must have been orchestrating it.

It wasn't hard to guess who. In this Yaoguang Heavenly Realm, very few dared to make enemies of so many powers at once.

After thinking it over, only one person fit the description: that Sanqing Wang Xiu, a newborn calf who fears no tiger, freshly ascended from the Lower Realm. He was the prime suspect!

Then they recalled the previous waves of people from the Sanqing who had come from the Lower Realm. Their deeds… were practically identical to Wang Xiu's!

"It must be him!"

"The scoundrel is simply outrageous!"

"Elder Han, you must capture that villain and punish him severely!"

Anger flared in their hearts. So many great powers, all played for fools by a wet-behind-the-ears youth. If word of this got out, we'd be an absolute laughingstock!
