NOVPUB"The 3rd Prince? You mean Ji Zhaoyang?"
"Exactly!" Xu Guan could not help revealing a trace of proud color on his face.
In some of the 36 Territories where the influence of the Great Yin Imperial Family was weak, their influence was even less than that of several Grotto Heavens Sacred Lands.
But over the Jiu Province region, Great Yin unequivocally dominated, with both strength and prestige far surpassing the grotto heavens blessed land.
Shen Yuan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Great Yin 3rd Prince Ji Zhaoyang had crossed paths with Shen Yuan during the trials in the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.
Back then, Shen Yuan had broken through thirteen levels of trials and obtained the Seal of Blessing from the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.
The Seal of Blessing was of no use to Shen Yuan, so he gave it to the Great Yin 3rd Prince Ji Zhaoyang in exchange for a favor.
However, after the trial in the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, Shen Yuan had returned after tens of thousands of years, and no longer had any contact with Ji Zhaoyang; the favor owed by Ji Zhaoyang had not been repaid to this day.
Shen Yuan did not particularly care about this matter, viewing it merely as a casual good deed.
Yet the sudden appearance of this Nine Phoenix Guard, claiming that Ji Zhaoyang invited him to the Imperial Capital, somewhat exceeded Shen Yuan’s expectations.
A contemplative look flashed in Shen Yuan’s eyes.
After getting turned away at the major guilds within Chuyang City, Shen Yuan considered going to the main guilds of the various states to find the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Method, but he had never considered the Great Yin Capital City.
The Great Yin Capital City, being the very heart of the Human Emperor Dynasty, housed countless treasures and rarities, and surely possessed the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Method. Yet Shen Yuan felt an intense aversion to this place.
For ordinary cultivators, the Great Yin Capital City was indeed a rare treasure land.
But for Shen Yuan, who harbored many secrets, it was not a favorable place at all.
Within the Capital, the Great Yin’s Mortal Emperor was in charge, wielding the grand trend of the Human Path.
The present Great Yin’s Mortal Emperor’s realm did not seem particularly high, as he had only just barely ascended to the Taoist Doyen Stage a few hundred years ago.
But for a Mortal Emperor, realm itself was not of much significance. So long as he sat in the Capital and controlled the grand trend of the Human Path, he could exert strength far beyond his own realm.
Shen Yuan could not imagine the terrifying level the Mortal Emperor could reach during this far-ancient prime period of the Human Path when the fate of humanity from all realms was bestowed upon the Mortal Emperor of Great Yin.
Especially since Shen Yuan came from the future, he knew all too well that in a few decades, the contemporary Mortal Emperor of Great Yin gathered the power of an entire realm for the Great Schism, severing the connection between all realms and the Primal Chaos Realm.
This action preserved the Primal Chaos Realm for tens of thousands of years, protecting it from the calamities of all realms.
Such immense power, such audacity, surely did not belong to an ordinary person.
Even if someone claimed that the current Mortal Emperor of Great Yin had strength comparable to a Golden Immortal, Shen Yuan would not doubt it in the slightest.
Such an unfathomable Mortal Emperor might have some secret method to see through the concealment of fate by the Star Astrology Divine Power.
Once he noticed the grand trend of the Human Path within Shen Yuan’s body, the Mortal Emperor of Great Yin would certainly take action, as no Mortal Emperor would be content to share the grand trend of the Human Path they controlled with others.
In the Capital, Shen Yuan had absolutely no strength to confront the Mortal Emperor of Great Yin. If an accident occurred, his only option would be to return to the time tens of thousands of years before.
And what Shen Yuan feared was far more than just the Mortal Emperor of Great Yin. The Great Yin Imperial Dynasty had existed for tens of thousands of years, and the Capital was teeming with powerful beings; even Heavenly Immortals from the Upper Realm descended from time to time.
Nobody knew when a strange old monster with tens of thousands of years of lifespan might suddenly appear in some corner of the Capital.
Facing such an environment, the slightest carelessness on Shen Yuan’s part could lead to others discerning his secrets.
Even if the Mortal Emperor of Great Yin did not reveal the existence of the grand trend of the Human Path, if Shen Yuan’s own Heavenly General-Earthly Destroyer Divine Power were exposed, it would likely attract catastrophe.
With such significant risks involved, after careful consideration, Shen Yuan waved his long sleeve and rejected Xu Guan’s proposal.
"I have no plans to go to the Capital any time soon."
The Nine Phoenix Guard Xu Guan, upon hearing this, immediately showed a look of astonishment. He had not anticipated that Shen Yuan would outright refuse.
It might have been understandable in the 36 Territories, but they were now in the Jiu Province region, where the will of the Great Yin Imperial Family represented almost everything.
Although Ji Zhaoyang was only the 3rd Prince, his progress after the trials in the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda had brought him close to stepping through the gates of the Return-to-Void Stage, making him the foremost among his peers in the Imperial Family.
Such transcendent talent, coupled with the powerful backing of Ji Zhaoyang’s matrilineal family, resulted in him being considered by many within the court and the commonalty as one of the contenders to compete with the Crown Prince for the throne.
Once Ji Zhaoyang ascended to the position of Mortal Emperor, he would become the most revered existence in the whole Primal Chaos Realm, and even current life True Immortals and Masters of the Deities would have to bow before the Mortal Emperor of Great Yin.
Such a revered status, not even the True Monarchs and Taoist Doyens would refuse in the Jiu Province region, yet this newly famous Falling Clouds Taoist dismissed Ji Zhaoyang, leaving Xu Guan somewhat taken aback.
A hint of panic flashed in his eyes, and Xu Guan completely let go of the slight arrogance he had carried as an envoy of the 3rd Prince. He spoke again: 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
"It is my fault for not having conveyed the 3rd Prince’s intentions to Falling Clouds Taoist."
"The 3rd Prince once said that he owed Falling Clouds Taoist a favor during the trials in the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.
His invitation to the Taoist to come to the Capital is to repay that favor, and for this purpose, he has specially sought from the Mortal Emperor a spot in the All-Worlds Luotian Convention."
"If the Taoist enters the Capital, he can join the 3rd Prince in attending the All-Worlds Luotian Convention."
Shen Yuan’s eyebrows rose slightly, curious:
"What exactly is this All-Worlds Luotian Convention?"
