CapĂtulo 1386: Chapter 1387: Return to the Nine Provinces
Saint Yuan raised the Xuanyan Staff in his hand, intending to block this sword.
But at this moment, the brilliant sword glow vanished instantly, and the tip of the Emperor Sword stopped less than an inch from the Xuanyan Staff.
The suddenly dissipated Sword Qi left everyone astonished.
âYou lost!â Lin Qian said calmly, sheathing his sword and lifting the Elemental Weapon Armament.
That sword didnât need to be struck down; Lin Qian believed the opponent already understood the difference in their strength.
Saint Yuan stood there stunned, then put away the Xuanyan Staff and sighed lightly, âIndeed, Iâve lost.â
He knew very well that if Lin Qian hadnât shown mercy just now, retracting his sword at the last moment.
He would be either dead or severely injured.
And no matter the outcome, he was undeniably defeated.
The elders of the tribes watching were already in shock.
They were well aware of Saint Yuanâs strength, being the strongest among them.
A Third Level Mixed Element Realm, one of the top figures on Lin Ancestorâs side.
He actually lost to Lin Qian, a First Level Saint Realm, and from start to finish, he had almost no chance to fight back.
The spectators also clearly saw that during the battle, Saint Yuan didnât hold back at all.
âSo strong!â Lin Ancestor couldnât help but exclaim in admiration, surprised by his grandsonâs brilliance, âAh Ying, did you see that?â
âNonsense, how could I not see my own grandson.â Beside him, Tang Ying said in a disgruntled tone while looking at Lin Qian with pride, âOur grandson is exceptional, truly extraordinary.â
Yuan Xiang at the side watched Lin Qian with his youthful vigor, momentarily recalling the first time he saw the remnants of souls.
He believed that Lin Qianâs future was boundless, and no ordinary being could compare.
âLooks like I didnât misjudge back then.â Yuan Xiang thought to himself, nodding silently.
On the side, Lin Di and Yun Yunyan were likewise shocked by their son.
They knew their son was formidable, but they didnât expect him to be this strong.
Lin Di also believed his son could surpass Saint Yuan, but didnât anticipate it to be this swift and decisive.
âA bet is a bet. I, Saint Yuan, vow my allegiance, serving the Huaxia Empire, serving Lin QianâŠâ Following this, Saint Yuan spoke without hesitation, making a vow of allegiance.
He kept his word; since he agreed before the fight, he wouldnât go back on it.
Other tribal elders also chuckled lightly, following Saint Yuan in making their vows.
This was a commonly accepted matter, naturally they wouldnât renege.
Yuan Jingtian and others watched on, brimming with emotions, who wouldâve thought their ancestors would become part of the Huaxia Empire.
Suddenly, spatial fluctuations attracted everyoneâs attention forward again.
They looked over there and found the jade platform had been completed, and on it stood a gate resembling an archway, engraved with a complex and mystical array.
The spatial fluctuations within the array were compelling.
This is the new array of the Huaxia Empire, a combination of teleportation array and portal technology, named âJade Gateâ.
âSetup is complete, letâs go.â Seeing the Jade Gate successfully built, Lin Qian spoke first, looking towards Lin Ancestor and others.
âThe Jade Gate is a fusion of the Huaxia Empireâs teleportation array and ancient portal techniques. As long as you pass through the gate, you will reach the destination.â
âThe destination on the other side has already been set, just follow along.â
After a brief explanation, Lin Qian took Ye Xin and walked directly up to the jade platform.
In the portal above the jade platform, faint golden light shimmered. As the two simultaneously crossed the light.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, the figures of Lin Qian and Ye Xin disappeared from the place.
Wei Ziliang and others in the Huaxia Empire frequently use the Jade Gate.
As officials of the Huaxia Empire, holding high positions, many matters require their direct handling, as swiftly as possible.
The Jade Gate is indispensable to reach destinations quickly.
Once Lin Qian and others, skillfully using the Jade Gate teleportation, departed, Lin Ancestor and others were left in mutual astonishment.
âLetâs try it, could my grandson possibly harm me?â Lin Ancestor said, stepping forward, but a figure already moved ahead.
That man was Ye Xuanyan, he moved past Lin Ancestor, arriving directly before the Jade Gate: âYou all are really not decisive at all.â
Teasing the crowd, Ye Xuanyan entered the golden light and vanished.
âThis old rogue!â Lin Ancestor exclaimed softly and also rushed to the Jade Gate, passing through the golden light.
Tang Ying followed closely, Lin Di and Yun Yunyan exchanged glances and joined them.
Saint Yuan and others came to their senses and quickly rushed to the Jade Gate, entering the golden light.
With the crowd entering the Jade Gate, they felt enveloped in a golden space, the world spinning around, only to be propelled forward by a force from behind.
With this force, they took two steps forward, and suddenly, everything became clear, and the scene before them unfolded.
At this moment, they found themselves on a grand square, behind them was a vast hall with the Jade Gate standing within.
They stood at the entrance of this hall.
On the whole square, one hundred thousand soldiers were stationed, their Realm at the peak of the Entering Dao Realm, standing motionless like they had no emotions.
The density of spiritual energy astonished them, enough to equal a tenth of the Upper Realmâs celestial level.
In the past, the lower realms were nowhere near a tenth, not even a thousandth of such density.
This alone already indicated that the lower realms had undergone tremendous changes.
âLook over there, isnât the sky peculiar!â Suddenly, Saint Yuan exclaimed, pointing afar.
The situation in the distant sky differed completely from their past impressions.
With their eyesight, they clearly saw various Soul Martial Artists flying back and forth in the distant sky, yet orderly.
Depending on the realm, the flying heights differed, and were traceable.
The power of arrays pervaded the sky, dividing into pathways.
In the higher sky, they also saw massive Cloud Boats flying back and forth swiftly, carrying varied energies of different races.
Simultaneously, Void Cloud Boats flew from afar, eventually landing gently in certain places.
Constantly busy and bustling with activity.
Even in the Upper Realm, it wasnât as lively as this.
âThis Huaxia Empire seems to be celebrating a festive occasion, hence the excitement?â an Illusion Clan elder spoke curiously, pondering the reason.
Saint Yuan also suddenly understood, nodding in agreement: âThatâs probably why theyâve all gathered here!â
ââŠâ Lin Qian and others heard their speculation and couldnât help but laugh.
