Chapter 315: Not the Patriarch, but a Saint!
On the Desolate Ancient Continent, from ancient times to the present, countless Emperors had been born. So many, in fact, that many beings of the Desolate Ancient Continent believed that the land beneath their feet was the very center of the world itself.
While alive, many Emperors had established magnificent powers.
Some had even founded Imperial Clans.
However, as the long years passed, one imperial clan after another was submerged in the river of time.
While those Emperors had been peerless geniuses, unrivaled in their era, that did not necessarily mean their descendants would be the same.
Even with Imperial Scriptures and Imperial Weapons in hand, it was not guaranteed that every generation would produce an outstanding genius. Over time, decline became inevitable.
And in this cruel cultivation world, decline was synonymous with annihilation!
Because other factions would inevitably covet their Imperial Scriptures or Imperial Weapons.
Today, across the entire Desolate Ancient Continent, there were very few imperial clans that still retained their former glory. A large portion of them had chosen to withdraw from the world, becoming hidden clans.
By no longer interacting with the outside world, outsiders could not determine whether these imperial clans had declined or not. Since their true strength was unclear, few powerful factions dared to harbor ill intentions toward them.
A clan like the Xiao Clan, which still bore the title of an imperial clan without having fallen into decline, was exceedingly rare, one could count them on one hand across the entire Desolate Ancient Continent.
And the Jiang Clan was one of the very few imperial clans that could rival the Xiao Clan.
The Jiang Clan's ancestor was the Flaming Feather Emperor. This emperor had passed away only around a million years ago, making him an Emperor of the current era.
His descendants were still relatively capable.
In every generation, one or two exceptional talents would emerge, leading the Jiang Clan to stand firm upon the Desolate Ancient Continent, ensuring that many factions dared not underestimate them.
Today, the Jiang Clan was suddenly thrown into commotion.
Across the thousands upon thousands of divine mountains floating in the void, figures could be seen moving back and forth, every one of them wearing expressions of excitement.
"Have you heard?"
"Heard what?"
Two young members of the Jiang Clan flew outward while chatting.
"Li Xun!"
A young man in white robes said excitedly. "The elders announced today that Li Xun, the Profound Sun Holy Son, will be visiting the Jiang Clan! The Patriarch personally gave the order that the Jiang Clan must not show the slightest discourtesy!"
"Hiss—!"
The other young man sucked in a cold breath and said in disbelief, "You mean the Li Xun who wiped out the Spirit Clan not long ago?"
"Who else could it be?" The white-robed youth said gleefully. "Other than him, who would be worth such serious attention from our Jiang Clan?"
That was Li Xun!
With only Divine Palace Realm cultivation, he had led a Saint King to annihilate the vast Spirit Clan. Looking across the entire world, how many people could accomplish something like that?
Upon hearing the news of Li Xun's arrival, the entire Jiang Clan erupted into excitement. Countless geniuses of the younger generation all wanted to witness the bearing of this acknowledged number one among their peers.
Half a year had already passed since the destruction of the Spirit Clan.
As the matter continued to ferment, everything that had happened within the Abyssal Demons Burial could no longer be concealed. While factions such as the Star-Moon Divine Sect and the Great Chu Dynasty were enraged, others, however, were completely indifferent.
After all, those who had died in the Abyssal Demons Burial were not members of their clans.
On the contrary, many of them enthusiastically bestowed upon Li Xun the title of Number One of the Younger Generation, listing his past achievements one by one. As for this title, a great many people accepted it wholeheartedly.
"All of our Jiang Clan's younger-generation geniuses actually came out in full force."
The two Jiang Clan youths arrived at the mountain gate and were stunned by the sight before them.
It was a sea of people as far as the eye could see, the people who had gathered here numbering at least several thousand.
And this was only counting the more outstanding figures within the Jiang Clan. If ordinary clan members were included, the number would likely exceed ten thousand.
What's more, among this crowd, they even spotted several elders at the Divine Palace Realm!
From this alone, one could see just how seriously the Jiang Clan regarded Li Xun.
"The person at the very front—if I'm not mistaken—should be Jiang Lingsheng, right?"
The youth accompanying the white-robed young man said in shock.
Jiang Lingsheng was the most outstanding genius of the Jiang Clan's younger generation. It was said that several years ago, he had already reached the mid-stage of the Life and Death Realm.
By now, he should still have been in seclusion.
Yet unexpectedly, he had appeared here today.
Perhaps Jiang Lingsheng's cultivation was nothing special compared to Li Xun's, but among the rest of the younger generation, he was far stronger than most.
After all, the majority of geniuses were still lingering around the Life and Death Realm. There were only a handful who had reached its peak, and as for the Divine Palace Realm, there was only Li Xun!
Of course, this was also because most people had no idea about Jiang Taixuan.
Jiang Taixuan was simply too low-key. Even though the potential he now displayed was already astonishing, very few people had ever heard his name.
"Jiang Lingsheng is the eldest son of the current Patriarch. He represents our Jiang Clan, so of course he has to come out to receive the guest. And as far as I know…"
At this point, the white-robed youth lowered his voice mysteriously and transmitted his words secretly, "Li Xun's arrival today isn't being greeted only by Jiang Lingsheng and a few elders."
"Oh?"
The other youth raised an eyebrow, curiosity rising in his heart.
"Could it be that the Patriarch himself will come out to welcome him?"
If the Patriarch were to personally receive him, that would already be rather inconceivable.
After all, the Jiang Clan was an imperial clan, while Li Xun was merely a genius of the younger generation. If just Li Xun's visit required the Patriarch to step forward, then what if the Holy Lord of the Profound Sun Holy Land came?
Wouldn't that require a Saint to come out?
And if the Grand Elder of the Profound Sun Holy Land arrived, wouldn't that demand a Saint King?
If so, the Jiang Clan would, invisibly, be lowering itself.
Although all the younger members of the Jiang Clan greatly admired Li Xun, they still did not want to see their dignified imperial clan groveling to please a mere junior.
"Not the Patriarch, a Saint." The white-robed youth spoke in an exceptionally solemn tone.
"A Saint?!"
The young man beside him let out a startled cry upon hearing those words.
He had already thought the Patriarch personally coming out would be exaggerated enough, but never in his wildest dreams did he expect that, just to welcome Li Xun, the Jiang Clan would send out a Saint.
That was simply too shocking!
