Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 438 A Hidden Calamity

The news that Jiang Chen, the newly promoted prodigy of the Wuchang Sect, had become a disciple of the One Qi Overturning the Sea True Monarch spread quietly, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, shaking the entire sect.

Condensing a flawless Dao foundation, passing through the Dao Inquiry Tower, and crushing Xuan Jiaozi—each and every one of these achievements proves that Jiang Chen is a true prodigy. It is only natural that such a person would be valued by the sect's higher-ups and taken as a disciple. However, they did not expect that this person would be the One Qi Overturning the Sea True Monarch.

Although he is not a celestial being, he is extremely legendary, especially after the great battle five hundred years ago, when his influence reached its peak.

In the past, countless disciples of the Impermanence Sect had considered becoming his disciples, including many geniuses or those from prominent families, but they all failed in the end. Many people could see that True Monarch One Qi Overturns the Sea seemed to have no intention of accepting disciples.

That is why everyone was so surprised that Jiang Chen became a disciple of the True Lord of the Overturning Sea. However, some people thought it was only natural, since the True Lord of the Overturning Sea brought Jiang Chen back personally.

Of course, the event has already occurred, and what truly matters is the impact of Jiang Chen becoming a disciple of True Monarch Fuhai. The significance of a newly promoted prodigy is quite different from that of a prodigy with a True Monarch standing behind him.

The Golden Cave is a labyrinth of a hundred caves, winding and turning like an underground maze. It is a place where gold energy is hidden, making it both a dangerous and a treasure trove.

At this moment, inside the main cave of the Gold-Cut Cave, Xin Yi frowned upon learning that Jiang Chen had been taken in as a disciple by the True Lord of the Overturning Sea.

"Does True Monarch Fuhai intend to pass on his legacy to Jiang Chen before his death? If so, wouldn't all of my Dragon-Snake Society's previous schemes have come to naught?"

Thinking about the possible consequences of Jiang Chen joining the Fuhai Sect, some distracting thoughts arose in Xin Yi's cold Dao heart.

The reason why the Dragon and Snake Society was able to easily suppress Jiang Chen was mainly due to its power, the power of her as a true disciple of the Purple Mansion, and the power of Gu Lingxiao as the first true disciple. Unlike Xuan Jiaozi, she already had the qualifications to represent Gu Lingxiao.

However, with Jiang Chen becoming a disciple of the True Lord of the Overturning Sea, the so-called power of the Dragon and Snake Society naturally became a joke. Even if Gu Lingxiao personally intervened, it would be difficult for the Dragon and Snake Society to suppress Jiang Chen. After all, although Gu Lingxiao was a rare genius in the Impermanence Sect, he had not yet achieved the Heavenly Phenomenon.

"A swift and decisive approach is needed; it seems we need to speed things up."

Thinking of Gu Lingxiao's previous instructions, Xin Yi made up her mind.

At this moment, all distracting thoughts in her mind were extinguished, leaving only a chilling aura. In Gu Lingxiao's absence, she had a responsibility to ensure that Gu Lingxiao's plan proceeded smoothly, and all those who stood in his way had to die. In Gu Lingxiao's original plan, the inheritance of the True Monarch of the Overturning Sea was a very important part.

Just then, Xuan Jiaozi arrived.

"Master, Jiang Chen has become a disciple of True Lord Fuhai."

With a gloomy expression and a hint of unease, Xuan Jiaozi knelt before Xin Yi.

First, he was defeated by Jiang Chen with absolute power, and now he heard the news that Jiang Chen had become a disciple of the Overturning Sea True Monarch. His fear had reached its peak. One of the main reasons why he was supported by the Dragon and Snake Society was that the Dragon and Snake Society intended for him to obtain the inheritance of the Overturning Sea True Monarch.

But now that Jiang Chen has suddenly appeared, this goal is almost impossible to achieve. Under such circumstances, he is genuinely afraid of being abandoned.

Sitting in the main seat, looking at Xuan Jiaozi like this, Xin Yi's eyes flashed with a cold light.

Xuan Jiaozi's current performance is truly disappointing to her; he's a complete waste. If he weren't still useful to Gu Lingxiao, she would have killed him long ago, given her temperament.

"You don't need to worry about Jiang Chen's matter for now. Just focus on your cultivation. As long as you can achieve perfect cultivation, the Dragon and Snake Society might give you a chance to open your Purple Mansion."

"As for the inheritance of True Monarch Fuhai, as long as Jiang Chen dies, it still has a chance to fall into your hands."

With eyes like lightning, Xin Yi seemed to be pointing something. Upon hearing this, Xuan Jiaozi's mind jolted. For some reason, the thought of Jiang Chen inevitably filled him with fear, but the thought that Jiang Chen might die also excited him.

"Yes, real person."

He bowed in agreement. Xuan Jiaozi seemed to have grasped some kind of hope. At least judging from Xin Yi's current attitude, the Dragon and Snake Society had no intention of giving up on him completely.

Looking at Xuan Jiaozi like this, Xin Yi felt as if she were seeing a dog trying to please its master, and her disgust grew even stronger.

"You go down."

With a wave of her hand, Xin Yi gave the order to leave.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Jiaozi dared not say anything more and immediately retreated. In his battle with Jiang Chen, not only was his cultivated dragon nature scattered, but also his spirit.

The scattered dragon nature can be reassembled through cultivation, but the restoration of mental energy is not so easy.

"With the True Lord of the Overturning Sea as his backer, ordinary tricks are no longer enough to deal with Jiang Chen, and the more complex the plan, the more likely it is to go wrong."

As she watched Xuan Jiaozi leave, a variety of thoughts flashed through Xin Yi's mind.

Originally, she didn't really intend to kill Jiang Chen. After all, although Jiang Chen had some entanglements with the Dragon-Snake Society, it wasn't really a big deal. Most importantly, Jiang Chen was a genius valued by the sect. She could suppress him within a reasonable range, but she couldn't cross the line rashly. This was an unspoken rule.

However, after Jiang Chen became a disciple of the True Lord of the Overturning Sea, the nature of the matter changed, and he became an obstacle.

As Xin Yi's killing intent grew, heaven and earth resonated, and a series of sharp golden winds swept through the Shaojin Cave, exuding a chilling atmosphere.

The next instant, Xin Yi's figure vanished.

And just as she expected, as news of Jiang Chen becoming a disciple of the Overturning Sea True Monarch spread, the Dragon and Snake Society's suppression of Jiang Chen instantly collapsed. Those who had decided to distance themselves from Jiang Chen now regretted it, and those who had persisted were now overjoyed.

Jiang Chen was already exceptionally talented, and now with a teacher like Fu Hai Zhenjun, it seemed like a certainty that he would become a true disciple.

"Junior Brother Jiang Chen really gave me a pleasant surprise. I originally wanted to recruit him into Hidden Moon Pavilion, but I didn't expect him to quietly become a disciple of True Monarch Overturning the Sea."

Looking out over Diancui Mountain from Lancao Peak, Ge Ziling's face was full of surprise.

Back when the Dragon and Snake Society suppressed Jiang Chen, she had the idea of ​​bringing Jiang Chen into the Hidden Moon Pavilion. Although the Hidden Moon Pavilion was not as powerful as the Dragon and Snake Society overall, it was backed by the True Disciple and had a considerable foundation. With the help of the Hidden Moon Pavilion, Jiang Chen had a high chance of passing the True Disciple Trial.

It should be noted that Hidden Moon Pavilion did not accept male disciples before. She had been working hard for a long time on this matter, but before she could settle things, Jiang Chen resolved the situation himself.

"With wings added, Junior Brother Jiang Chen is really about to gain momentum. In that case, it seems that my previous actions were too slow."

Shaking her head, Ge Ziling descended Lancao Peak.
