Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 594 - 327: Proclaiming to the World, Great True Monarch Snow Dragon Is Shocked!

Qi Chuan thought this inwardly.

Soon after, Qi Chuan turned around and walked toward the gate of his Tier Four Cave Mansion.

...

As Qi Chuan began to comprehend a new Sword Dao Divine Technique, the Sect Protection Array that had enveloped the Myriad Flowers Mountain Range for a year finally transitioned from full operation to a half-hidden, half-operational state.

In a fully operational state, the array’s power is maximal, but the consumption is exceedingly astonishing.

Over the past year, it has burned through countless resources of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.

In a half-hidden, half-operational state, the consumption is relatively low.

It still provides a considerable amount of protection, but naturally, it cannot compare to a fully operational state.

The moment the Sect Protection Array returned to normal, the hidden agents within the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect immediately sent messages to their main sects.

And this message, without exception, was about Qi Chuan’s promotion to the Realm of the Great True Monarch!

...

Snowfall State, Snow Dragon Mountain.

A towering, steep, and beautiful snow peak stands deep within the mountain range. At the summit, a majestic and atmospheric silver-white hall stands firm, enduring the heavy snowfall and howling winds, immovable like a rock.

This is the main hall of Snow Dragon Mountain.

At this moment, inside the main hall of Snow Dragon Mountain, an elderly man wearing a snow-white Magic Robe sits poised on a White Jade chair.

The old man’s body is robust, and although his hair and beard are entirely silver-white, his face is broad, his eyes sharp, and his cheeks rosy; his vitality is abundant, surpassing even many Nascent Soul Cultivators in their prime.

On the old man’s left hand, the sleeve of his snow-white robe slightly moves.

Soon after, the snow-white sleeve slips down, revealing the old man’s wrist.

Unexpectedly, on the old man’s wrist, lies coiled a two-finger-wide snow-white long insect. Its body is covered with intricately beautiful snow-white scales, each radiating a metallic chilly aura.

Suddenly, the coiled body of the snow-white long insect slightly undulates, and a single-horned flood dragon head, reminiscent of a snake’s head, slowly raises, its frost-snow cold, pale eyes gazing at the old man’s earnest, slightly lowered face, while its forked, blood-red tongue flickers menacingly, lowering the temperature within the hall significantly.

"Stop it, Xiao Bai."

While seriously working, the old man extends his right hand, patting the Frost Snow Spirit Flood Dragon’s head, pressing it down again, then gathers the Magic Robe sleeve to cover its body once more, making it hard to be seen.

Instantly, the temperature within the hall stops dropping and gradually returns to normal.

Subsequently, the old man resumes his concentration on dealing with various sect affairs in front of him.

These complicated sect affairs could be delegated to Nascent Soul Cultivators below if he wished.

However, today, having rare time and mood, the old man intends to handle all these affairs personally.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a hurried voice sounds from outside.

Immediately following, a series of footsteps approach, and a Snow Dragon Mountain disciple hastily enters the grand hall, then immediately kneels before the old man on the throne.

Within the grand hall, the old man’s brows knit tightly as he tosses the Jade Slips in his hand onto the Jade Table, his previously good mood disturbed.

"What is it?" The old man lifts his head, his expression somewhat displeased, staring at the reporting disciple, knowing that a significant message must have been received for them to rush into the main hall at this time.

One must understand that lightly disturbing him could be a capital offense.

"Reporting to the First Supreme Elder, within the nineteen states of the Celestial North Domain, another Great True Monarch has been born!" The reporting disciple announces solemnly, on the throne sits the First Supreme Elder of Snow Dragon Mountain, the Great True Monarch Snow Dragon, a rare top-tier expert in the world!

"Hmm?"

The Great True Monarch Snow Dragon, Fang Yi, immediately lifts his head sharply, eyes locking onto the reporting disciple.

Nineteen states of the Celestial North Domain, another Great True Monarch has appeared.

Such a realm is extraordinary.

Breaking through is extremely difficult, and for many years, no new Great True Monarch has emerged in the nineteen states of the Celestial North Domain.

The appearance of even one can alter the previously stable structure of the nineteen states of the Celestial North Domain.

It also signifies the emergence of another Peak Strong Sect.

This indeed is a matter that cannot be ignored!

Even he has to treat it with caution.

"Within these nineteen states, another Great True Monarch has newly emerged; I wonder, which state is it?"

"Yu Xiao State? Red Scale State?"

"Could it be the Celestial North State again?"

The Great True Monarch Snow Dragon murmured, his gaze falling on the reporting disciple.

"Replying to the First Supreme Elder, none of these!" The reporting disciple provided clear information.

"Hmm? None of them?"

Upon hearing this, the Great True Monarch Snow Dragon looked somewhat surprised at the reporting disciple, knowing these were the states he deemed most likely to produce a Great True Monarch in his impression.

But none of them are?

"Then which state is it?"

The Great True Monarch Snow Dragon appeared quite curious all of a sudden.

"It is... Beihua State!" The reporting disciple revealed the name of a state.

"What? Beihua State?"

Upon hearing this, the Great True Monarch Snow Dragon stood up abruptly: "Is it the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect with the Dual Nascent Soul Middle Stage?"

His swift inference to the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect was simple logic.

In Beihua State, there are only three forces at the Nascent Soul Level.

Among them, he had personally seen the Cangjian True Monarch of Cangjian Pavilion and the True Monarch of Yin and Yang from Yin Yang Mansion.

The Cangjian True Monarch once attempted to break through to the Great True Monarch Realm without sufficient Nascent Soul foundation, naturally failing and suffering severe injuries. Though partially recovered now, promotion to the Great True Monarch Realm is impossible for him.

As for the True Monarch of Yin and Yang, although still considered vigorous and strong, he does not appear to have the aptitude for the Great True Monarch, with a very low probability of advancement.

Thus, the only remaining candidate is the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.

"The First Supreme Elder is wise; indeed, it’s the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect!" The reporting disciple declared admiringly.

"It truly is the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect! Is it Qingyun True Monarch, or is it Qi Chuan? I would wager it’s likely Qi Chuan?" inquired the Great True Monarch Snow Dragon again.

To his knowledge, the Qingyun True Monarch, despite having reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage long ago, had shown nothing remarkable.

However, Qi Chuan seemed, based on some information, to possess exceptional cultivation and magical combat talent.

Between the two, if one could break through to the Great True Monarch Realm, he naturally inclined to believe Qi Chuan was the more likely candidate.

"The First Supreme Elder truly predicts like a god; yes, it’s indeed Qi Chuan!" The reporting disciple exclaimed in admiration, full of reverence for the First Supreme Elder.

"Qi Chuan, Qi Chuan..."

The Great True Monarch Snow Dragon paced back and forth, his expression fluctuating.

Previously, he visited Celestial Cold State, carrying his Frost Snow Spirit Flood Dragon, intending to hunt a Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beast.

To increase his success rate, he called the True Monarchs of Celestial Cold State, Celestial Desert State, and Beihua State to assist in hunting the Demon Beast.

However, the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, with Dual Nascent Soul Middle Stage, dared to refuse to come.

Moreover, when he later dispatched Quasi-Great True Monarch Ji Rui to exert pressure, his emissary was defeated in one move by an unknown Great True Monarch and sent back.

At the time, he suspected either the Great True Monarch of Five Poison or the Great True Monarch Profound Nether, and thus the matter was left unresolved.

Yet today, he learns of Qi Chuan’s promotion to the Great True Monarch Realm in the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect?

Is this a recent promotion?

Or was the person back then actually Qi Chuan?
