Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 585 - 431
Afterward, he slowly shared his speculations with Lin Bu Jing.
The more Lin Bu Jing listened to Elder Dan's conjectures, the more he felt an immense pressure weighing on his shoulders.
When he briefly put himself in Hong Yuan's position, it didn't take long for him to feel so pressed by the heavy burden that he could hardly breathe.
Even Qiu Wuxi noticed that something was off with Lin Bu Jing.
Concern painted Qiu Wuxi's face, "Bu Jing, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I'm fine," Lin Bu Jing shook his head, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and stared intently at the Rainbow Fire Peak, where Hong Yuan was.
Hong Yuan, was the burden you carried always this heavy?
Suddenly, Lin Bu Jing felt that his previous struggles with Hong Yuan were somewhat petty.
After a moment of silence, the fire in Lin Bu Jing's eyes reignited, his face set with determination:
"Fire, can never be completely extinguished!!!"
...
BOOM!
RUMBLE!
「That night.」
The sky above Phoenix Creek Sect was a riot of fireworks, weaving into various shapes.
One moment it was a blue lotus, another a red phoenix, and another a white rabbit...
The fireworks were exceptionally beautiful, drawing gasps of admiration from everyone.
Atop the Rainbow Fire Peak.
Hong Yuan's Water Tao avatar stood silently in a mountain pavilion, quietly watching the magnificent scene of fireworks.
Behind Hong Yuan, Mo Yue'er, Lin Yiru, and others waited in silence.
The descendants of Master Lin Daoyan's family, the offspring of Zhu Wushang's bloodline, the sons and grandsons of his good friend Le Congsheng...
A vast crowd of people!
It seems I have already become an ancestor-level figure.
Gazing at the still brilliant fireworks in the dark sky, Hong Yuan was reflective, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
Indeed.
Hong Yuan had experienced complexities in the "Bloodline Dream Realm of Han Jiuming" and "Eternal Azure Lotus Dreamland" that were almost beyond the imagination of others.
But in reality, on the side of the Human Race, he had always been steady and solid, with the immense pressure of being under the Martial Saint Supreme Elder.
However, once the Dragon Sun Emperor's Child wreaked havoc on the Divine State of the Eastern Wilderness, cutting it off from heaven and earth, figures of the Martial Saint Supreme Elder level had all but disappeared.
And he, Hong Yuan, had suddenly become an ancestor-level figure!?
Now he was merely holding a simple birthday feast, yet it had already stirred up significant attention within the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent—it was quite unbelievable—
Times do make heroes~
It's not that I, Hong Yuan, have achieved great things among the Human Race, but that I, Hong Yuan, can now steer the currents of the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent!
Master, Elder Brother, if you knew of my achievements today, you would surely be proud of me.
On the path to eternity, I will go on, always!!!
Snowflakes fluttered down, the frosty moon filled the sky.
Hong Yuan stood alone amidst the swirling snow, gently catching a snowflake drifting from the sky, a slight smile on his lips.
...
...
「Two days later.」
Hong Yuan's birthday celebration, which had drawn the gaze of most in the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent, finally commenced within the Phoenix Creek Sect.
The movements of various powers stirred, as they made their way to Phoenix Creek Sect.
The hostile ones wanted to probe the military strength and geographic position of the Sect Alliance.
The neutrals were eager to see just how remarkable this so-called foremost commoner, Hong Yuan, really was. They wanted to understand how he could so thoroughly oppress the younger generation of the Human Race.
The allies wanted to flex their "muscles." Their aim was to show the Heavenly Talents from Southern Border, Central Region, and other Divine Continents that the Sect Alliance was not to be trifled with.
Whether Hong Yuan liked it or not, he had attracted too many gazes.
The title of the foremost commoner was too burdensome, too heavy!!!
"In my past, to and fro, the willows were tender."
"Now as I return, the rain and snow are harsh."
On a cold winter night, Phoenix Creek Sect was bustling, brightly lit.
Army Chiefs and envoys from powers like Qinglu Taoist Temple, Mythical Sound Pavilion, and Dragon Flame Sect, carrying extremely precious gifts, walked step by step from the mountain gate towards Rainbow Fire Peak.
The mountain streams were frozen, the snowy winds dry and cold.
Between the bamboo groves, icicles hung heavily. On the steps of the mountain, snow was piled high.
Yet despite such harsh conditions, these visitors maintained their smiles, compliantly following the guidance of Phoenix Creek Sect's disciples to Rainbow Fire Peak. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
This was because their Sects had been defeated and lost territory to emerging Heavenly Talents from other Divine Continents. It was Hong who had rescued them, giving them a final refuge.
"Ah, I thought my mastery of fire techniques was exceptional, second only to Hong. But I didn't realize that as soon as the scion of Fire God Palace took action, I was completely suppressed, hardly able to move," Dragon Flame Sect's Army Chief Chen Hao said with a sigh, shaking his head.
The Army Chief of Qinglu Taoist Temple, Li Qiyuan, had an even more bitter expression, "Even when the Holy Artifacts could hardly exert much power, those foreign Heavenly Talents still use them to fight."
"Fortunately, the last Illusion Cloud Flood Dragon was controlled by Hong, otherwise I would certainly have lost it along with the Taming Demon Ring Holy Artifact."
Hearing this, the other Army Chiefs fell silent, not knowing what to say.
They had always thought, aside from Hong Yuan, that they were the most formidable in the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent.
After killing the West Dream Tiger, reclaiming their lost land and breaking through Daxuan Palace seemed like easy tasks just within reach!
The truth was indeed so; in the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent, these Army Chiefs were extremely formidable.
But the problem was that for some unknown reason, the Four Great Divine Continents such as Southern Border and Central Region suddenly sent extremely powerful Heavenly Talents to invade the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent, fighting them for territory.
If it hadn't been for Hong Yuan's presence, their Sect Alliance—pitting the essence of half a continent against that of four—would have had its territory completely stripped away.
