Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1814: Welcome

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The Swordsaint Mountain was an ancient peak power in the Mystic Region. During its beginning, it had a heavenly deity who had the title of Sword God.

After Jian Junlai rose up, his title was Sword Monarch instead of Sword God because, in the past, there already was a heavenly deity with the title Sword God.

The disciples from the Swordsaint Mountain naturally had extraordinary sword arts. Their world hearts and heavenheart mandates were all based on the source origins of sword laws as their foundation. There was no need to doubt how strong their combat prowess is.

On the Heavenly Dao Ranking, there was a ranker named Jian Chen. His sword arts have defeated many world overlords before and even killed hegemonic-level world overlords. The Swordsaint Mountain has waited for so many years and finally, a supreme genius with potential high enough to become a heavenly deity finally appeared. He was the Swordsaint Mountain’s hope of being restored to their former glory.

As to why this Jian Chen came to the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy to cultivate instead of joining the hegemonic powers like the Ziwei Divine Court, etc, it was because once he joined them, even if he became a heavenly deity, all glory would belong to the hegemonic power he joined and not the Swordsaint Mountain. Everyone would only think of the sect he is in now and not where he originated from.

The sacred academy was different. Even if one became a heavenly deity in the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, they are still considered independent of the academy. He would still be a heavenly deity of the Swordsaint Mountain and everyone would only be filled with admiration at the ability of the sacred academy to transmit the dao. This was the difference between the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy and the Ziwei Divine Court.

Hence, although the three hegemonic powers of the Mystic Region was very attractive, even more supreme experts with outstanding talent would choose to head to the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy to seek their dao and cultivate.

At this moment, the young man sitting in the pavilion was none other than Jian Wuxin, he was the supreme genius that similarly hailed from the Swordsaint Mountain, a descendant of the Sword God.

As the descendant of the Sword God, he was naturally prideful and arrogant.

“So you are someone from the Swordsaint Mountain. I’ve been lacking in my etiquette.” Somebody clasped his hands towards the young man. Another person then spoke, “I wonder what is sir’s relationship with Jian Chen?”

“He is my uncle.” Jian Wuxin calmly spoke, his sharp eyes flashing with arrogance. It was as though the name Jian Chen should inspire awe from everyone and he should be part of the glory because Jian Chen was his uncle.

“Jian Chen’s talent is dazzling. There’s somebody who claimed that if the ten rankers were to be ranked based on their potential, Jian Chen would be able to rank within the top five. Since sir is Jian Chen’s nephew, your talent is most likely extraordinary as well. Who would have thought that a pair of supreme geniuses from the Swordsaint Mountain would both choose to come to the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy to seek the dao.”

“Brother Jian, since you are already here, you must have obtained the recognition of the sacred academy already, right?” Someone asked.

“Naturally. My uncle has already said that tomorrow, he will get the people from the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy to welcome my elder brother personally, leading him into the academy for cultivation.” A beautiful young lady at the side spoke. She was Jian Wuxin’s younger sister.

“Having people from the sacred academy to personally come and welcome you. Such preferential treatment is truly extraordinary. Sir’s talent must definitely be very outstanding.” Someone sighed in admiration. If not, despite Jian Chen’s extraordinary status in the academy, it wouldn’t be too good for him to order people from the sacred academy to personally welcome Jian Wuxin. The only exception was that Jian Wuxin’s talent is extraordinary high. If not, if the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy personally went out to welcome someone of mediocre talent, wouldn’t they be slapping themselves?

“Blowing your own trumpet.” A mocking voice rang out. The expressions of everyone froze. The person who spoke was none other than Jun Mengchen. After he learned of the identities of Jian Wuxin’s group, he actually still dared to say such a thing. Seems like this group of people also had extraordinary statuses, they might be from a peak power.

“Before you guys are famous, all of your tones are already so arrogant, brazenly disregarding the talent of others, sullying them in order to elevate your own statuses. The group of you have inferior temperaments, before this, when you all forcibly snatched the courtyard we initially booked, I can already tell your true characters.” Jun Mengchen spoke in a mocking voice. “As to your boasting of your own talent level, the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy would naturally verify it. I’ve attended the convention this time around and know what sort of person the Qingcheng Realmlord is. In the future, he will be cultivating in the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, the same as Jian Chen. You guys will learn who is the superior one between them sooner or later.”

“What a joke, you thought that because you attended the convention, you already know all geniuses under the heavens? Sadly, you are just a frog in the well, unable to see the greater world around you.” Jian Wuxin coldly replied as he calmly sipped his wine. It was like he felt his status was superior and had no need to be angered because of Jun Mengchen who was a lowly bug. As a descendant of the Sword God, he naturally needed to have a fitting demeanor.

“Mengchen.” Qin Wentian smiled and shook his head at Jun Mengchen, lifting his cup to him. Jun Mengchen initially wanted to speak but seeing how unbothered Qin Wentian was, the anger in his heart dissipated as well. That’s right, why should he lower himself to Jian Wuxin’s level? What’s the meaning in sparring verbally? In the future, everyone would know that his senior brother was superior. Qin Wentian was magnamious enough to give that courtyard up. Now, he also couldn’t be bothered to argue with this group of people.

Qin Wentian truly couldn’t be bothered. He had received his fair share of doubts as he walked on his path. Now that his name has shaken the Mystic Region, this was an unexpected surprise for him and it wasn’t something he really wanted. A competition between whose talent was higher? There was no meaning to this. Or more accurately, it was too boring. Only one’s strength is the foundation of everything.

The Violetjade Fairy smiled and glanced at Qin Wentian with an expression of interest on her face. However, the glory today still belonged to Jian Wuxin. Many people continued on with their fawning behavior, wanting to get acquainted with Jian Wuxin. Qin Wentian’s group chatted a while more here before they departed, returning to their own courtyard.

…

During the second morning, the news about Jian Wuxin, a descendent of Sword God that was currently staying in the Daoask Lodge, would go to the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy to cultivate soon began to circulate. Many people paid a visit to him, wanting to get acquainted with him, and there were even some characters from the major powers here in Daoask City among them. From what Jian Wuxin’s younger sister has said, “Today, Jian Chen would send someone to welcome Jian Wuxin to the sacred academy for cultivation. Such treatment was truly extraordinary, Jian Wuxin’s talent was undoubtedly very high but it was just that he has not displayed his brilliance in the Mystic Region before.

Hence, there were many people gathered in the Daoask Lodge today. Regardless of the guests or experts from the major powers, all of them were here. There were some waiting in the lobby of the Daoask Lodge and some waiting outside, all wanted to see the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy personally welcoming Jian Wuxin.

And as expected, the people from the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy truly did arrive. A group of people with extraordinary auras appeared, all of them clearly were world overlords. The moment they arrived in the Daoask Lodge, someone among the crowd immediately walked up to pay his respects as he asked, “Seniors, are you guys from the sacred academy?”

“Mhm.” One of the people in the group smiled. After that, many serving girls of the lodge instantly served up some food in welcome but that expert from the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy waved his hand in dismissal, “There’s no need to be polite, we will leave soon after.”

The Violetjade Fairy appeared at this moment in the lobby. She smiled, “Are you all here to welcome someone?”

“That’s right.” The experts from the sacred academy nodded, they were indeed here to welcome someone. The eyes of everyone in the surroundings gleamed sharply. As expected, the sacred academy actually sent out so many world overlords to welcome Jian Wuxin? Was this because of Jian Chen’s authority?

Although Jian Chen had outstanding talent and was a ranker on the Heavenly Dao Rankings, he was ultimately someone who came here to seek the dao. The Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy actually sent out such a powerful group of experts to welcome his nephew? From this, one could really tell that Jian Wuxin’s talent was undoubtedly extraordinary.

Did another supreme genius just appear in the Swordsaint Mountain? In that case, would they really be restored to their former glory?

At this moment at the staircase, many people walked over. The person in the center was surrounded by many and exuded an imposing aura. This young man was naturally none other than Jian Wuxin. Many of those who came to visit him were guests who drank in the pavilions last night, wanting to become acquaintances with Jian Wuxin. Now, when these people saw the group from the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, someone laughed, “Seems like Jian Wuxin is truly supreme. I’ve never seen someone getting such preferential treatment before.”

“Indeed, the world overlords of the sacred academy coming as a group to welcome a person? It’s truly extremely rare.”

“After Sir Jian enters the academy, you can rest assured about your family. I will arrange for them to stay in a courtyard at the second level from the top level.” A manager of the Daoask Lodge laughed. Yesterday, he was the one who made the decision to let Jian Wuxin’s group take the upper third-level courtyard over Qin Wentian’s group.

Other than managing the daily activities of the lodge, managers were supposed to form network connections with people that have powerful statuses. This has always been the method of their Daoask Lodge.

“Many thanks.” Jian Wuxin smiled. A look of arrogance could be seen on his face, he walked towards the experts from the sacred academy only to see his younger sister moving before him. His younger sister came to the front of those experts and said, “Thank you to all seniors for coming here to welcome my brother!”

The world overlords from the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy glanced at her before turning to Jian Wuxin. One of them then asked in a puzzled manner, “Is your brother him?”

“Yes. Jian Chen is my uncle, this young man is my older brother, Jian Wuxin. Are you guys not the entourage my uncle sent here?” The young woman asked.

The world overlords glanced at each other before laughing, “Oh, so you are someone from the Swordsaint Mountain. You have to cultivate well now that you are going to join the sacred academy. However, we are not sent here by Jian Chen, we are also not here to welcome your older brother.”

“Oh?” The young woman’s gaze froze. Jian Wuxin’s steps also halted, and that manager from the Daoask Lodge had a strange look on his face.

Even the eyes of the Violetjade Fairy had some puzzlement. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with her information, right? But it’s true that the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy sent out a group of experts to welcome someone.

“Are you sure?” Jian Wuxin’s younger sister asked.

“Little miss, how can we not be sure of our purpose here?” That world overlord laughed. At this moment, another two people walked into the lodge. These two were at the empyrean realm and when they saw the group of people from the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, they instantly bowed, “We pay our respects to seniors.”

“Oh, so it’s you guys.” The world overlords of the academy understood after seeing the two of them. The world overlord who spoke earlier than spoke to Jian Wuxin, “These two are the people cultivating in the same courtyard for Jian Chen. They should be the people that are welcoming you.”

“Senior Jian Chen did ask us here to welcome Young Master Wuxin.” The two of them nodded. Right now, Jian Wuxin’s younger sister felt extremely embarrassed. If she didn’t speak up earlier, things would still fine but they actually were mistaken about the group of world overlords. How awkward.

Jian Wuxin also had an embarrassed look on his face. His younger sister glanced at the world overlord and asked, “In that case, seniors, who are you all welcoming?”

That world overlord wanted to reply but at this moment, a group of people walked over. Their gazes turned in that direction as smiles appeared in their eyes. One of them then called out, “Brother Qin!”

Qin Wentian bitterly smiled when he saw the group of world overlords. He has met these people before, they were none other than the world overlords from the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy who had also attended the convention. However, there wasn’t much communication between them at the time. He didn’t expect that the group the old man was sending, were actually these people. This made him feel somewhat overwhelmed by favor.

“How would I dare to trouble brothers to make a trip here for me.” Qin Wentian clasped his hands.

“Haha, it’s what we ought to do given Brother Qin’s talent. Old senior has repeatedly told us we have to do so.” A world overlord laughed. When the people around here heard his words, they naturally understood that Qin Wentian was the one they were waiting for. The group of people from the Swordsaint Mountain all had awkward and embarrassed expressions on their faces. Qin Wentian’s group was none other than the group of people they mocked yesterday, even calling them frogs in a well!
