He insisted again, "No matter what, if you want me to hand over the Child of Heaven and Earth, you must agree to my conditions. I will be a wise emperor worthy of heaven and earth."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately felt something was off. Jiang Bilong's expression darkened significantly, and his eyes became quite strange. He did not speak but looked at Guan Tian, waiting to see how Guan Tian would respond.
Guan Tian stared at Jiang Gong for a long time without saying a word. He was using the Child of the Earth to sense the situation but did not feel the presence of the Child of Heaven and Earth. His anger boiled within him; this Jiang Gong dared to play tricks on him! For his own selfish interests, he even refused to hand over the Wood Child. This person truly could not be an emperor; otherwise, his narrow-mindedness would lead to the demise of countless benevolent individuals.
Thus, Guan Tian said, "Jiang Gong, if you hand over the Wood Child, I will ensure your safety for life and protect you from poverty. As for your position as crown prince, that depends on your father. If your father does not depose you, I will protect you."
Guan Tian's words served as a conclusion. He paused and quietly watched Jiang Gong, waiting for his response.
Emperor Jiang Bilong felt immense disappointment in Jiang Gong after this experience. Many thoughts arose in his mind, but he remained silent, quietly waiting for Jiang Gong to speak.
This was not what Jiang Gong wanted. Truly, it was too far from his goal. However, with Guan Tian's interpretation, even his father began to have negative thoughts about him, which weighed heavily on his heart.
Fortunately, he still had the Treasure refined by the Southern Source Poor Scholar in his possession; others dared not easily provoke him. Since it had come to this point, there was no point in insisting further: ensuring his safety and wealth? Very well. Was he supposed to go against Guan Tian? After all, he was a disciple of the Southern Source Poor Scholar and might have means to deal with the Treasure.
Reluctantly, Jiang Gong had no choice but to have someone bring up his food box. He carefully took out the Wood Child from inside and solemnly handed it over to Guan Tian.
Guan Tian immediately felt a violent pulse from the Child of the Earth. He knew that this time Jiang Gong was sincerely handing over the Wood Child. However, in both Guan Tian's and Jiang Bilong's minds, Jiang Gong's status had already diminished significantly.
Guan Tian's next target was Jiang Tianlan. He truly despised Jiang Tianlan. This guy had targeted him for no reason and wanted him dead. Therefore, he had to deal with him before leaving Yongning Continent. He could not allow him to continue living freely; he must be held accountable for his actions against him back then!
Now it was very convenient for Guan Tian to find Jiang Tianlan; with one inquiry, he received a reply immediately: Jiang Tianlan was now serving as a court attendant for Crown Prince Jiang Gong and held a fourth-rank position in the Salt Department. He was specifically responsible for managing the crown prince's income from the salt industry—a lucrative position—living quite comfortably.
Since he was not by the crown prince's side, Guan Tian quickly had him brought over. When Jiang Tianlan saw Guan Yue, he erupted in fury: "Damn it, Guan Yue! Isn't it enough that you harmed me? You left me crippled for life and unable to cultivate, living under others' roofs and looking up at their noses every day! How much longer do you want this? Wasn't it just one attack against you? Are you done yet?"
Guan Tian smiled and said, "It will be over soon; there won't be another chance. You say it lightly—just one attack against me? That was an attempt on my life. Today I will kill you once; consider it settling the score."
Jiang Tianlan began to cry uncontrollably, saliva and snot flowing down: "Guan Yue, what do you want? What must I do for you to forgive me?"
Guan Tian laughed: "Do you still hold any value for me?"
Jiang Tianlan wiped his nose and weakly said, "If I tell you a secret, will you let me go?"
"What secret?"
"A huge secret. I'm not kidding you. This is a big deal for the Vast Empire, Dawson Empire, and Southern Source Empire." Jiang Tianlan added, "Aren't you collecting the Child of Heaven and Earth? That's aimed at you."
What could it be regarding the Child of Heaven and Earth? Guan Tian immediately said, "Go ahead. If it's such a huge secret, I'll let you off the hook."
Jiang Tianlan knew that Guan Yue was a person of his word, so he said, "In the Yongning Continent, over tens of thousands of years, there have been quite a few Little Ancestor Saints' Disciples who have not responded to the call to enter Upper Space, including some Disciples from the Supreme Divine Realm."
Guan Tian strongly agreed with Jiang Tianlan's statement, especially after this trip to Snowy Luo Peak, which made him aware of the dangers of Upper Space; indeed, some people were unwilling to enter Upper Space.
Jiang Tianlan continued, "Apart from the six Little Ancestor Saints who can openly stand out, there are more than twenty others who have formed an organization called the Holy Spirit Alliance. The purpose of the Holy Spirit Alliance is to prevent all Little Ancestor Saints from entering Upper Space and to establish Yongning Continent as an independent space where they can dominate."
Guan Tian scoffed, "The Holy Spirit Alliance? Do they really think they can dominate Yongning Continent?"
Jiang Tianlan awkwardly smiled and said, "I don't know how much power they have. But they are currently competing with people sent from Upper Space for something called the Heaven and Earth Treasure. I've heard that Upper Space has sent several people to search for the Heaven and Earth Treasure, and the Holy Spirit Alliance is also looking for it. Now it's just a matter of who can find it first."
"Is the Heaven and Earth Treasure really that important? Could it have any impact on Yongning Continent?"
"Yes, not only will it affect Yongning Continent, but it will also influence the overall situation of heaven and earth," Jiang Tianlan confidently stated.
Guan Tian immediately recalled when Guan Yue encountered Sea God Badalin at sea; when Guan Yue asked about the Heaven and Earth Treasure, Baldin had said, "Those are all lies; the real Heaven and Earth Treasure is at Snowy Luo Peak." This indicates that the competition for the Heaven and Earth Treasure has been ongoing for a long time; even Baldin knew about it. But why did Upper Space only send Lu Fang and a few others now? And they had lost their way home!
Jiang Tianlan continued, "I've heard that forming the Mother of Heaven and Earth is very helpful in finding the Heaven and Earth Treasure. Therefore, neither side will let you easily form the Mother of Heaven and Earth. If you forcefully do so, you'll become a common enemy of both the Holy Spirit Alliance and those from Upper Space. You could very well end up without a burial place."
Jiang Tianlan's words served as a great warning to Guan Tian. He had already come to believe Jiang Tianlan's words and trusted that the Jiang Family must have a member in the Holy Spirit Alliance. As for why he hadn't helped Jiang Tianlan strike against himself, it might be because Jiang Tianlan wasn't important enough. Perhaps this was the last trump card of the Jiang Family Dynasty!
Although Ouyang Shaohua had signed up for a special operations team, she had mostly been undergoing intensive training within her family.
Many legends about Guan Yue constantly motivated her to work harder; she didn't want to fall too far behind Guan Yue but instead used Celestial Wine and Five-Flavor True Water given by Guan Yue to continuously improve herself.
Additionally, her family, Ouyang Family, also had an old monster who dared not go to Upper Space—Ouyang Changsheng. He held high hopes for Ouyang Shaohua and devoted all his efforts to enhancing her cultivation.
Ouyang Changsheng often reminded Ouyang Shaohua: "Right now, the spatial barriers in Yongning Continent are weak; at any moment, it could attract beings from the heavenly realm who would come down to disrupt us. Especially since we old folks are prime targets for their purges. You must seize this time to gain some opportunity amidst future chaos; otherwise, you might get dragged down by me."
When news came that Guan Yue had teamed up with Lan Xunlei to fight against Three Little Ancestors, Ouyang Shaohua was anxious to rush to Guan Yue's side. However, Ouyang Changsheng firmly disagreed with her leaving and forced her to continue her training. After two years of relentless effort, Ouyang Shaohua laid an incredibly solid foundation.
Finally, Ouyang Changsheng sacrificed one-tenth of his power to help Ouyang Shaohua reach the peak realm of Eternal Realm. He then sighed deeply and said: "Our young generation in Ouyang Family finally has someone capable of facing this calamity in Yongning Continent. Old Man can rest easy now."
Ouyang Shaohua felt a secret shock; this ancestor of the Ouyang Family had lived for over ten thousand years and could always foresee events accurately to seize opportunities. That was why Ouyang Family could stand strong for thousands of years!
Ouyang Shaohua's grandfather was merely a superficial figure. Due to the influence of this elderly man, her grandfather still retained a hint of childlike innocence.
After Ouyang Shaohua reached the peak of the Eternal Realm and adapted for three months, Ouyang Changsheng finally allowed her to leave home and venture out.
Naturally, Ouyang Shaohua hurriedly made her way to Chunhua Women's Academy, as she was still a student there. Upon her return, she discovered that Naiqian had already participated in the battle against the Ancient Tomb Sect. Huangfu Jiayun had become unrecognizable; she was emaciated and her appearance was unrecognizable, though her spirit remained intact. When she saw Ouyang Shaohua, her gaze was evasive, unable to meet hers directly.
When Ouyang Shaohua saw Zihongfang, she noticed that Zihongfang was also nothing but skin and bones, with only her eyes still shining with an indomitable spirit.
Upon seeing Ouyang Shaohua, Zihongfang felt a sudden surge of determination within her; she had finally found another target!
Her twisted mind immediately locked onto Ouyang Shaohua. From a distance, she observed that Ouyang Shaohua's realm was much higher than hers. Dealing with Ouyang Shaohua could not be like dealing with Huangfu Jiayun, as Ouyang Shaohua had almost no intersection with her and would not share meals with her.
Zihongfang stared intensely with her bulging eyes, thinking hard. After gritting her teeth and stomping her foot, a malicious plan formed in her mind.
She wanted revenge; she wanted to make Guan Yue suffer and avenge Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian. She couldn't care less about anything else.
Ouyang Shaohua reaching the peak of the Eternal Realm quickly became major news at Chunhua Women's Academy, even Huangfu Jiayun came to congratulate her.
Seeing Huangfu Jiayun's current state filled Ouyang Shaohua with sorrow. She tried to ask Huangfu Jiayun if she was unwell, but Huangfu Jiayun's face showed distress, hesitating to speak. She simply could not voice it; now she had to rely on her connection with Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian just to survive.
Moreover, even if she spoke up, it would be useless because there was no antidote for Millennium's Last Love; this was common knowledge.
