Chapter 328: Have They Already Become So Arrogant?

Within the Jiang Clan.

Inside a secret chamber, a tall and imposing man with disheveled hair slowly opened his eyes. His aura was powerful, filling the void and inspiring awe in anyone who beheld him.

Yet deep within his eyes, there was a trace of frustration.

Not long ago, the destruction of the Spirit Clan had spread Li Xun’s name across the Desolate Ancient Continent. At the same time, news that Xiao Chen intended to fight Xiao Fan and Li Xun had also circulated widely.

But aside from these two events, there was another matter that could not be ignored.

That was—the strength of the Xiao Clan’s patriarch, Xiao Tianzheng, had already reached the Saint realm!

Not only Xiao Tianzheng—there were even rumors that the Divine Emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty had also secretly become a Saint. In fact, it was said that he had achieved sainthood even earlier.

As soon as these events came to light, many Holy Lords and Divine Emperor–level figures began to feel a sense of urgency.

In this increasingly turbulent era, the Northern Yu Divine Emperor chose to undergo tribulation. What he drew was a sixfold Saint Tribulation, and he successfully became a Saint. This news, like a hurricane, swept across the entire Desolate Ancient Continent.

Now, figures of the older generation were all beginning to attempt sainthood.

Those who still couldn’t even sense their Saint Tribulation began to grow anxious. After all, others had already become Saints, while they themselves remained stuck in place.

Aside from being inferior, outsiders could think of no other explanation.

The Jiang Clan’s patriarch was precisely in this situation.

The moment he heard that Xiao Tianzheng had become a Saint, he immediately went into seclusion. Yet even now, he still hadn’t sensed his own tribulation.

When others delayed their tribulation, it was to solidify their foundations.

But when he delayed—it was because he simply couldn’t trigger it at all.

Just as the Jiang Clan patriarch was secretly growing anxious—

Suddenly, a terrifying thunderclap shook the void. At that instant, the entire ancestral land of the Jiang Clan seemed to tremble, and countless divine mountains quivered.

An unknown number of people turned their gazes outward in shock.

At the end of their sight, an endless mass of dark clouds gathered. Countless thunder dragons pierced through heaven and earth, striking fear into the heart.

Even from such a great distance, and with formations blocking the view, it still gave the overwhelming sense of impending catastrophe.

"A Saint Tribulation?"

The Jiang Clan patriarch’s face darkened.

He, the dignified leader of an Imperial Clan, was still stuck at the peak of the Divine Palace Realm. Yet now someone else had become a Saint again—this was no different from another slap to his face.

However, his expression quickly calmed, and even turned to joy.

A tribulation occurring near the Jiang Clan—if nothing unexpected happened, it should be one of the Jiang Clan’s elders. After all, no outsider would dare casually undergo tribulation near the Jiang Clan.

The Jiang Clan’s reputation was no joke.

If someone were to accidentally harm a member of the Jiang Clan, even if they had become a Saint, they still wouldn’t be able to withstand the clan’s wrath.

"I wonder which elder has become a Saint?"

The Jiang Clan patriarch felt curious.

He was certain that among those of his generation in the Jiang Clan, no one had greater talent than him. After all, if someone more talented existed, they would be the one sitting in the patriarch’s position—not him.

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t come up with an answer. So he stopped thinking, rose to his feet, and walked outside.

The birth of a new Saint in the Jiang Clan was a major event. As the clan leader, he had to step forward and preside over the situation.

Before long, the tribulation would come to an end.

At that time, many powerful figures from various forces would likely come to offer their congratulations. If he, the patriarch, did not appear, it would be somewhat inappropriate.

...

Tens of thousands of miles away from the Jiang Clan.

An elder from the Heavenly Profound Holy Land arrived first.

He appeared to be a young man, but his eyes were filled with the weariness of ages, as if he had witnessed countless changes of time. He had traveled tirelessly to arrive ahead of everyone else.

There was no helping it.

In recent years, the Heavenly Profound Holy Land had declined severely. Decline alone would have been manageable—but the real problem was that they bordered the massive Jiang Clan.

This made them constantly worry that one day, the Jiang Clan might simply wipe them out.

Now that another Saint had appeared in the Jiang Clan, whether he came to offer congratulations or to gauge the strength of this newly ascended Saint, he had to arrive early.

"A ninefold Saint Tribulation?"

The elder from Heavenly Profound Holy Land had just reached the outer edge of the tribulation when his heart sank heavily—almost to the bottom. He was completely stunned.

The Jiang Clan was already powerful, and now another person undergoing a ninefold Saint Tribulation had appeared. This was practically pushing the already declining Heavenly Profound Holy Land to the brink of destruction.

Given the Heavenly Profound Holy Land’s current weakened state, once this Jiang Clan individual successfully passed the tribulation, they would likely have the power to destroy the Heavenly Profound Holy Land immediately.

After all, the one or two Saints remaining in Heavenly Profound Holy Land were only One-Tribulation or Two-Tribulation Saints—completely incomparable to a Ninth-Tribulation Saint.

At this moment, the elder from Heavenly Profound Holy Land even found himself hoping that the person undergoing tribulation would fail.

But judging from the current situation, that hope would likely be dashed.

Although he couldn’t see the tribulating person’s face clearly, he could see that figure standing within the tribulation, without any form of defense, directly enduring countless bolts of lightning with their physical body.

Such a shocking and unheard-of scene was actually unfolding right before his eyes—how could he not be astonished?

If someone could already withstand lightning with their flesh alone, then passing the ninefold Saint Tribulation should not be a problem.

"I wonder which figure of the Jiang Clan is undergoing tribulation..."

The Heavenly Profound Holy Land elder descended from the void and first glanced around at everyone present. He saw quite a few Jiang Clan elders—but notably, the Jiang Clan patriarch was nowhere to be seen.

This made his heart tremble.

Could it be that the one undergoing tribulation was... the Jiang Clan patriarch?

Thinking of this, his emotions became mixed and complicated. With a solemn expression, he cupped his hands toward Jiang Yunzong and said:

"I am Feng Suishan, representing Heavenly Profound Holy Land. I have come to offer my congratulations to all fellow Daoists."

"Hm?"

Jiang Yunzong and the others all turned their heads, looking at Feng Suishan with surprise. For a moment, they didn’t know what to say.

A Nine-Tribulation Saint!

They, too, wished that Li Xun bore the surname Jiang instead of Li—but unfortunately, that was impossible.

"Have they already become so arrogant?"

Feng Suishan’s expression turned bitter.

He had taken the initiative to greet them, yet they responded with indifference. Could it be that the Jiang Clan already believed Heavenly Profound Holy Land was no longer worthy of standing on equal footing with them?

Although he felt deeply uncomfortable, Feng Suishan still endured it and continued:

"Today, the Jiang Clan patriarch has astonished the world. Perhaps in a thousand years, the Jiang Clan will give rise to another Emperor. Such a figure is a blessing for the entire Desolate Ancient Continent."
