Chapter 1647: Public Young Master Xiang

Jiang Fan genuinely knew very little about the various realms. He cupped his hands and respectfully asked for guidance: "Please enlighten me, senior."

Yun Wanxiao chuckled in surprise and said, "You're too polite. This is just common knowledge, hardly 'guidance'."

"How much do you know about the Heavenly Realm?" he first posed a question to Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan recalled, "I only know that ten thousand years ago, the Heavenly Realm split into four parts due to the invasion of ancient giants."

"The Southern Heavenly Realm was occupied by ancient giants."

Yun Wanxiao nodded slightly: "No wonder you have this question."

"The Heavenly Realm indeed split into four parts, but it wasn't just the Southern Heavenly Realm that was occupied."

"The Eastern and Western Heavenly Realms were also occupied at the same time. Only our Northern Heavenly Realm managed to hold its territory."

Only then did Jiang Fan realize that three of the four Heavenly Realms had been occupied by ancient giants. He began to faintly understand something.

Yun Wanxiao continued, "Whenever the Millennial Catastrophe is unleashed, the ancient giants from the Eastern, Western, and Southern Heavenly Realms will each launch attacks on our three realms."

"Specifically, the Southern Heavenly Realm invades your Central Land."

"The Western Heavenly Realm invades our Northern Heavenly Realm."

"And the remaining Eastern Heavenly Realm invades the Underworld Realm."

"Of course, occasionally, an ancient giant from one of the Heavenly Realms might be powerful enough to attack two worlds simultaneously."

So that's how it is! Jiang Fan was secretly awed; the power of the ancient giants was far greater than he had imagined.

However, he grew puzzled again and asked: "But isn't our Central Land blocking the Underworld Realm from above?"

"How do the ancient giants from the Eastern Heavenly Realm bypass our Central Land to descend into the Underworld Realm?"

Yun Wanxiao smiled, and a wisp of sacred power flowed from his finger as he casually pointed into the air. A three-dimensional map appeared in mid-air. It showed three flat continents. They were stacked on top of each other.

The topmost layer was split into four parts, clearly the Heavenly Realm! The middle layer was very small, not even as large as a fragment of the Heavenly Realm, undoubtedly the Central Land, pieced together from parts of the Underworld and Heavenly Realms. The bottom layer, similar in size to the Heavenly Realm, was naturally the Underworld Realm.

The Central Land was directly beneath the Southern Heavenly Realm. Its small area couldn't completely obscure the vast Underworld Realm. The Eastern Heavenly Realm could easily replicate the method, using sky-reaching black pillars to descend into the Underworld Realm.

Jiang Fan suddenly understood. Looking at the Central Land, which was only one-twentieth the size of the Heavenly or Underworld Realms, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "I knew the Central Land was small, but I didn't realize it was this small."

Yun Wanxiao smiled faintly and said, "The strength of a world isn't determined by its size, but by the number of powerful individuals it possesses."

"Over the past ten thousand years, countless large worlds, whose territories were no weaker than our Heavenly or Underworld Realms, have been destroyed by the three ancient dark beings."

"Yet, the Central Land, a small world, has stubbornly endured until now. A thousand years ago, it was even on the verge of a great victory, almost wiping out the giants of the Southern Heavenly Realm. Based on that alone, no one would dare call the Central Land 'small'."

So, the Central Land was somewhat renowned among the various realms? Jiang Fan felt greatly honored. This status was earned by his ancestors with their blood.

He said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Yun Wanxiao chuckled, "I told you, no need to be so formal. Just call me Brother Yun."

Jiang Fan remained polite, saying, "This junior wouldn't dare."

There was a reason he maintained a polite distance from Yun Wanxiao. Firstly, in the Primeval Hunting Ground, anything can be hunted, and anyone can become another's prey. Even familiar acquaintances might turn against each other, let alone someone he had just met. Secondly, he hadn't forgotten that the 'Six Sections of Heavenly Thunder' he cultivated was a domain used by the Angel Race to control slaves. Once cultivated, it would integrate into his body, allowing any powerful angel to control him through this domain. Just like when he was in the Myriad Calamity Sacred Palace, his body was uncontrollably drawn into the stone cone space by the white-robed skeleton. Therefore, he maintained a safe distance from Yun Wanxiao.

Yun Wanxiao smiled, a look of appreciation in his eyes: "No wonder you can represent the Central Land here. With such vigilance, you indeed have a chance to survive until the end."

"My offer still stands. Follow me after the great battle, until you are safe."

Jiang Fan said, "Thank you, senior." If the other party's intentions were truly benevolent, Jiang Fan would reciprocate, but he would still remain vigilant.

Liu Bianhuang glared at Yun Wanxiao in annoyance: "You meddling fellow!"

"Hopefully, the ancient giants will devour your last remaining Northern Heavenly Realm!"

"May all of you become homeless and die in the tide of darkness!"

Yun Wanxiao smiled calmly: "You should worry about yourself."

"The ancient blood demons are no less a threat than the ancient giants."

Liu Bianhuang was about to retort when he suddenly sensed something and sharply looked towards the horizon. The calm smile on Yun Wanxiao's face also faded, and his expression turned serious: "They have arrived too?"

Qiqi also turned her head to look into the distance, her grape-like eyes flickered, and a hint of surprise crossed her face. Jiang Fan sensed something and looked curiously into the distance. Who could make the three Great Venerables of the Five Decays of Heavenly Beings present so solemn?

In his line of sight, a dazzling white light guided a young man to descend onto the bronze land. He was tall and slender, his dark long robe fluttering in the wind. His left hand rested on his lower abdomen, his right hand on a long sword at his waist, and he wore a nine-stringed imperial crown. His gaze was fixed forward, his demeanor majestic and imposing, like an emperor surveying his dominion.

Jiang Fan was slightly stunned. For a moment, he thought he was looking at the Human Emperor statue from the 'Brahma Saint True Spirit Art' he cultivated. Apart from their faces, all other aspects of the two overlapped perfectly. This gave Jiang Fan the illusion that he was seeing the Human Emperor himself.

As the Primeval Token melted and formed a crown layered over his diadem, a line of text clearly appeared.

"Gongzi Xiang of the Divine Capital."

Jiang Fan was surprised. Divine Capital? The name of this realm was a bit overbearing, to presume to call itself the Divine Capital. This person's name was also very unusual, having no surname, only prefixed with "Gongzi" (Prince/Young Master) as a substitute for a surname. At least in the Central Land, he had never heard of such a naming convention.

Liu Bianhuang was startled and said, "Gongzi Xiang's Imperial Body?"

"Your true body is already in the Sage Realm, why are you coming to the Primeval Hunting Ground?"

Yun Wanxiao's expression also grew solemn: "The Divine Capital has never suffered invasions from the three ancient dark beings, so it has no need for the rewards of the Primeval Hunting Ground."

"Why have you come here?"

Jiang Fan listened, secretly astonished. The person before him was actually a partial body of a Sage Realm expert? Just like the Twin Sages of the Central Land, who could split their bodies into two Great Venerables, Filth and Red Demon, each traversing the world independently. The young man before him was the Imperial Body of a certain Sage. His cultivation was also that of a Great Venerable in the Five Decays of Heavenly Beings.

Jiang Fan felt like spitting blood. It was one thing for people like Liu Bianhuang and Yun Wanxiao, who suppressed their cultivation and could break through to the Sage Realm at any time, to come. But for a Sage to even send an Imperial Body to participate! Was this simply not giving ordinary participants a chance?

Gongzi Xiang, like an emperor, swept his gaze over the two, his voice crisp and authoritative: "Why should I explain my actions to the likes of you?"

His mighty imperial prestige pressed down, making many world representatives on the bronze land gasp for breath, their bodies swaying precariously. Even Liu Bianhuang and Yun Wanxiao felt immense pressure and and had to resist with all their might. Only Jiang Fan, with a surge of multicolored clouds emanating from his body, easily blocked his suppressive aura.

Gongzi Xiang seemed to sense something and turned his gaze towards him. Noticing the multicolored clouds around Jiang Fan, a slight ripple appeared in his gaze that had been surveying heaven and earth:

"Who is the Primeval Saint of Clouds to you?"
