Chapter 1327: Chapter 1339: Clash
The younger generation, who have been in prolonged closed cultivation, are unaware of Jiang Fan’s achievements, but the elders know all too well.
His journey to the Heavenly Realm shook the Nine States.
His exploits on the Heavenly Mountain Battlefield made his name renowned throughout the world.
Each of these accomplishments could become a legend, to be passed down through the long history of Taicang State.
In terms of merits, Jiang Fan had long surpassed the young generation and even most of the older generation.
"Do not be rude, and do not offend Jiang Sect Master!"
"You can watch the excitement, but don’t get involved lightly."
"You’ve been in seclusion for too long. If you knew some things, you wouldn’t say what you just said."
...
Several elders quickly admonished their juniors.
This instead sparked their curiosity and confusion as they all looked at Jiang Fan.
What could a mere nineteen-year-old do to be so extraordinary?
As part of the Taicang Eighteen Sons, they too once made their names known in Taicang State.
Who among them was inferior to Jiang Fan?
"Ha! What a joke! Do you not even know my adoptive father?"
The crowd parted.
The West Sea Crown Prince, with a bruised nose and swollen face, walked over with his arms crossed.
He looked quite battered, yet his posture was still quite proud.
The collision of these two extremes made him seem somewhat comical.
He strode over to Jiang Fan’s side, raising his head and puffing out his chest, exclaiming:
"Standing before you now is the number one person to explore the Heavenly Realm in the Nine States."
"He is the Great Yin Sect Master personally granted by the Heavenly Eye Sage."
"He is a close friend of the six great demon lords of the Great Wilderness State."
"He is the human clan envoy most respected by the Asura Clan!"
"He is my adoptive father, Jiang Fan!"
The entire venue fell silent.
Both the informed and the unaware were rendered speechless.
The same achievements, when spoken by the West Sea Crown Prince, seemed to elevate them to countless levels higher.
Terms like "number one in the Nine States," "personally granted by the sage," "six great demon lords," and "human clan envoy."
They sounded extraordinary, stirring a sense of grand world competition and human clan mission.
The Taicang Eighteen Sons were all stunned, their mouths agape.
Each of these titles sounded incredibly explosive.
In comparison, their accomplishments seemed like mere games played by children.
During the few years they withdrew from the stage of Taicang State, such a stunning talent had appeared?
Some were shocked, some were skeptical.
And some were envious.
Chen Jing spoke indifferently: "Those achievements were merely gained through scheming and deception."
"If I were in your position, I would have done the same!"
The West Sea Crown Prince eyed him disdainfully: "Then why don’t you try showing off? No one is stopping you from proving yourself."
Chen Jing raised his hand, clenching his fingers, causing the air to explode with a cracking sound:
"I have no regard for such tricks of the bad guys."
"I, Chen Jing, only believe in strength."
"This world may have once surged with storms, and eras may have changed."
"But one thing remains eternally unchanged."
"That is, strength is the respected!"
He clenched his fist, pointing it at Jiang Fan from afar:
"In any era, there is only one true king!"
"Since I have returned, you should take your leave!"
With those words,
he opened his palm, and a piece of golden talisman danced in his hand.
Forming into a line of large characters.
"Connect Heaven and Summon the Saint, Enter the Immortal Palace!"
The eight large characters flew from his palm, growing larger against the wind.
Soon, each character was like a mountain.
The eight characters flew together, descending with a majestic heavenly might.
The Pavilion Master’s face changed slightly: "Immortal Six Seals!"
When Chen Jing visited the continent back then, he used it against Jiang Fan, who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Its power could not be underestimated, but it was shattered by Jiang Fan’s full force attack as a Second-stage Nascent Soul.
Time has passed.
Now that Chen Jing has used it again, its power is incomparable to before.
Under the cover of the eight characters, the people of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion felt their bodies becoming light, and their souls uncontrollably drifting away from their bodies towards the Eight Character Seal.
It felt as if those words "Connect Heaven and Summon the Saint, Enter the Immortal Palace" were truly going to lead them into the Immortal Palace.
This seal was, in fact, a soul-level attack!
"There is righteous energy between heaven and earth, abundantly forming all things!"
In a critical moment, Jiang Fan’s voice, infused with soul power, steadied everyone’s souls which were leaving their bodies.
The Pavilion Master was secretly shocked, quickly saying: "Everyone fall back!"
The confrontation between Chen Jing and Jiang Fan was beyond what they could meddle in.
Chen Jing frowned slightly: "You’re actually unharmed!"
This seal was intolerable even for an Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul.
Yet Jiang Fan remained unscathed.
Jiang Fan squinted his eyes: "What a domineering Earth-level High Techniques."
Its power was not much inferior to that of the "Brahma Saint True Spirit Technique."
He decisively moved, his hands forming seals together:
"Divine Lord Vast Desolation!"
Behind him, a ten-zhang tall Eight-Armed Divine Statue clad in golden armor appeared,
all eight arms struck together, and the earth-shattering golden brilliance soared upwards, shattering the pressing eight characters "Connect Heaven and Summon the Saint, Enter the Immortal Palace."
The talisman exploded into mottled light, scattering away.
The Taicang Eighteen Sons looked on in shock.
"He can actually face off against one of Chen Jing’s Immortal Six Seals head-on!"
"The Immortal Six Seals is an Outer Heaven Technique, its power infinitely close to Heaven Level."
The elder truly wasn’t wrong, Jiang Fan’s strength can’t be underestimated."
"However, this is just the first seal. The following seals are progressively more powerful, Jiang Fan may not be able to endure."
...
Chen Jing was slightly surprised as well:
"Such strong Body Technique, no wonder you dare challenge me!"
"Very well, if you were too weak, even winning wouldn’t be worthy of the title return of the king."
"Divine Rainbow Descends from the Sky, Returns to the Human World."
In his palms, eight more talismans erupted, striking into the canopy overhead.
Suddenly.
The sky transformed into a spectrum of colors, and vivid rainbows, like beams of light, descended from the sky, shooting straight towards Jiang Fan.
Where the rainbow beams passed, space shimmered, creating long sparks.
If hundreds of these long rainbows simultaneously struck a person, the body of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator would explode on the spot.
Jiang Fan remained calm.
"All Things Begin!"
"The World Only I!"
Before him appeared a Human Emperor Statue, wearing a Nine-tassel Crown and holding the Emperor’s Sword.
Above his head appeared an ancient, mighty yellow Big Bell.
As the bell rang, the world froze.
The rainbows shooting from the sky froze like a painting.
The Human Emperor Statue raised the Emperor’s Sword, sweeping across the heavens.
The Thousand-foot Sword Radiance severed the skies and the rainbows were all cut down, scattering as colorful light spots onto the world.
Chen Jing’s face changed, once again forming a seal technique.
"Stars and Moon Gather, Manors Rise and Fall!"
The eight-character seal technique once again entered the sky.
High in the heavens, golden clouds gathered, and the phantoms of immortal palaces hidden within the clouds cascaded like meteors, madly falling towards the ground-bound Jiang Fan.
Each immortal palace carried majestic might.
Even before falling, they caused the sky to roar, and the earth to tremble.
Several elders watching this scene involuntarily swallowed hard.
"This attack possesses the might of a Nine Aperture Nascent Soul!"
"Chen Jing’s strength is undiminished from the past."
"This, is the return of the king!"
Jiang Fan gazed upward at the seemingly world-ending scene, battle lust rising in his eyes.
"Come at me!"
He was just about to test the invincible elegance of the "Brahma Saint True Spirit Technique" at the Nascent Soul Realm!
