Chapter 1791: Chapter 1658: Competing Marriage Proposals
"In ancient times, sages were all lonely, only drinkers left their names. People like us probably have no chance of entering the Xing Kong Gu Road, we might as well just cultivate in this world," Hu Fei and Gu Hao lamented.
If they were born in the past, perhaps with their strength they could have entered the Xing Kong Gu Road for some trials, but not now. This is a golden era with geniuses of various constitutions emerging in an endless stream, their strength is simply not enough to be seen.
"As far as I know, all major forces will no longer recommend young strong people, but will completely open Xing Kong Gu Road. As long as one thinks they have enough strength, they can enter, but the consequences are at their own risk—the chance of coming back alive is too small."
Yaling smiled and said, this was a piece of news she inadvertently acquired.
"What? Doesn’t that mean anyone can enter the Xing Kong Gu Road?"
The crowd was shocked, this was absolutely a heavy news!
"Don’t think too beautiful, although the major forces no longer recommend the quota of young strong people, the entrance of Xing Kong Gu Road is at the Imperial Academy. Just now, the Quasi-Emperor Elder Lin of the Imperial Academy has set a rule, to enter Xing Kong Gu Road, at least one must defeat a Saint Heir to qualify."
Yaling said: "Xing Kong Gu Road is wrought with dangers, many extraordinarily powerful Heavenly Pride of past generations have gone and never returned. Without Saint Heir level strength, stepping on Xing Kong Gu Road is equivalent to sending oneself to death. The Imperial Academy setting such a rigid rule is also to protect those Cultivators who don’t know the height of the heavens from meaningless sacrifices."
"Then it’s over, I definitely have no hope."
Upon hearing Yaling say this, Hu Fei immediately became discouraged.
His talent is not bad, his strength among the younger generation is very strong, but still falls short compared to a Saint Heir.
"I want to try!"
Shi Ye scratched his messy hair that resembled a bird nest and said frankly.
"The Wild Man might indeed have a hope, he has a special constitution, possessing the bloodline of the Barbarian clan’s War God, he is not inferior to any Saint Heir."
Sikong Po said: "I also want to try, I want to see what special places the Xing Kong Gu Road, once walked by the Ancient Great Emperors, has!"
"Within half a year, the Xing Kong Gu Road will surely open, by then everyone can try their luck, even if unsuccessful it’s okay, at least one has tried, not leaving regret in the future." Yaling once again delivered a heavy message.
This news was still classified, the Imperial Academy had not yet announced it to the outside world, yet they knew it in advance.
However, the crowd also knew that the competition to enter the Xing Kong Gu Road would be extremely fierce, not only the Human Race’s Heavenly Pride would choose to tread this strongest trial road, the Demon Clan would as well, and once encountered on the Xing Kong Gu Road, there would undoubtedly be some collisions and frictions.
That night, they talked for a long time until everyone had a bit of hazy drunkenness before they each went to rest.
Early the next morning, Ye Fan received news from the Treasure Pavilion, asking him to quickly go to the City Lord Mansion in War City for there was a major event.
Ye Fan was startled, could it be that the Demon Clan tore up the agreement and was about to invade the Human Race’s territory in large numbers?
But then he thought it unlikely, the agreement was signed just yesterday, the Demon Clan couldn’t go back on it so soon.
But besides a Demon Clan invasion, what other major events could there be?
Xing Kong Gu Road!
Ye Fan immediately thought of the Xing Kong Gu Road they discussed while drinking yesterday, perhaps rules for stepping onto Xing Kong Gu Road were about to be disclosed?
With these thoughts, Ye Fan came to the City Lord Mansion and walked straight to the hall of the City Lord Mansion.
At this moment, for Ye Fan, it was not an exaggeration to say no one in the world did not recognize him. The Cultivators guarding the City Lord Mansion at the arrival of daylight did not stop him at all.
War City itself is formed by a Quasi-Emperor Weapon, not large but bursting with divine light, possessing a mysterious aura.
War City itself is not big, the City Lord Mansion naturally isn’t very large either. When Hu Fei walked into the courtyard of the City Lord Mansion, he immediately felt an extraordinary sense of energy.
The entire City Lord Mansion was filled with Cultivators from various major forces, the lowest Cultivation was at the Supreme Elder level, anyone below that did not qualify to stand in the City Lord Mansion.
Ascending the ninety-nine stone steps, Ye Fan entered the hall of the City Lord Mansion with full of suspicion, only to see the spacious hall already filled with Heroic Lords from various forces.
"The main character has finally arrived, we don’t need to contend any further, let’s gather his opinion!"
The Saint of Xie Yue Sect sitting at the door position stroked his beard and laughed.
"That is only proper!"
Several Heroic Lords responded.
At the same time, Ye Fan felt a powerful pressure, almost making him unable to step into the hall.
He understood, it was not intentional by the Heroic Lords, but naturally emitted momentum, causing him to be astonished.
Within the younger generation, he is absolutely the first person, but compared to these Heroic Lords, there is still a significant gap.
Slap!
Slap!
Slap!
Ye Fan’s expression remained unchanged, his whole body brimming with vitality, like rivers surging, like a raging sea, he moved step by step into the hall under the pressure.
Suddenly, the pressure lightened dramatically, the leaders purposefully retracted their aura, and then the Postnatal saint master stood up and said to Ye Fan: "Don’t blame us for pressuring you with our aura. If you can’t even pass this test, then there’s no need to discuss further matters."
Ye Fan nodded, then cast a puzzled glance at each of the leaders, discovering that the Imperial Academy Director, Monk Dao Yan, the Immortal Academy Director Old Immortal, Ancient Saint, the Eastern Domain Sikong Family’s Clan Leader, Purple Smoke Pavilion Master, and others were all present, he then used his eyes to inquire the Treasure Pavilion Master about what significant matter it was.
"Ahem..."
Treasure Pavilion Yayun Peak coughed twice, then said: "All the leaders wish to marry off their sect’s Holy Land genius daughter to you, and want to hear your opinion..."
"Uh..."
Ye Fan was stunned at the remark, his head buzzing instantly, looking at the leaders with a mixture of amusement and helplessness.
Ye Fan understood thoroughly, that seeing his performance in the battle against the Demon Clan, these leaders now wished to tie him to their chariot through marriage alliance.
Surpassing the younger generation, if nothing goes wrong, it’s highly likely he will prove Dao in the future, thereby offering protection to the allied family.
"Young friend Ye Fan, my clan has a pearl, she is my direct granddaughter, naturally beautiful, renowned in the world, even the Immortal Dynasty of the Central Domain has sent proposals, now I wish to marry her to you, what do you think?"
A white-haired, white-robed leader spoke, his deep eyes as vast as the star domain, staring intently at Ye Fan.
This was the Saint of the Northern Domain Xue Clan, in the entire Northern Domain, the Xue Clan is undeniably a highly ancient clan, if not the longest standing surname, at least close to it, immensely prosperous, fully capable of contending with Holy Lands, even the Di Clan.
"Old Monster Xue, are you truly thinking about marrying your direct granddaughter Xue Bingbing to Ye Fan?" asked another leader.
"Why not?" Xue Clan Saint replied significantly.
"Hiss~"
A sound of inhalation instantly echoed throughout the hall, showing how extraordinary the Xue Clan’s pearl Xue Bingbing truly was.
The Xue Clan’s pearl Xue Bingbing, revered as the number one beauty of the Northern Domain, spotless and pure, overshadowing frost and snow, coupled with exceptional talent, astonishing at fifteen years old she independently created a secret technique, shocking numerous people.
The Immortal Dynasty of the Central Domain indeed sent a proposal, wanting to ally through marriage with the Xue Clan, but was refused.
Knowing this, Ye Fan was speechless, feeling it’s all too surreal.
Once upon a time, none of these leaders from various large forces would even spare a glance at him, yet now, everything has come so unexpectedly!
"Ye Fan, I know you have a good relationship with my granddaughter Zi Yan, if you are willing, I am willing to marry Zi Yan to you, hope you consider carefully." Zi Yan Pavilion Saint also spoke.
"Ye Fan, you and Yue Bai once fought side by side, slayed human race menace human-shaped creatures, and I also noticed, Yue Bai holds strong feelings towards you, you cannot break her heart!" Yuehua Dynasty Saint also spoke.
"My Jiu Mao Saint Earth wishes to marry the Holy Maiden to you..."
"My Demon Sect **** dazzling among the crowd, proficient in dual cultivation methods, and is still a virgin, if you could dual cultivate with her, guarantee your strength will rise rapidly."
The people from the Western Region Demon Sect also spoke, extremely rarely.
"I..."
"I..."
The leaders all opened their mouths, wanting to tie Ye Fan to their forces’ chariot, the offers made were alluring.
With the peerless snow clan’s pearl and the emotional cards played by Zi Yan Pavilion, Yuehua Dynasty, other forces naturally had to present sufficient chips for competition.
"Why, why, you see all of you suddenly jumping out now, where were you before? When he was still very weak, what help did you give him?"
Treasure Pavilion Yayun Peak became anxious, stood up and rebuked the leaders, then changed the topic, said: "Stop fighting, my Treasure Pavilion proposed early on, and my Treasure Pavilion has provided him with selfless help, his relationship with my granddaughter Yaling is also very good, what can you compete with?"
"Your granddaughter Yaling is much older than brother Ye Fan, being siblings would work, but as partners might be troublesome?" a Saint standing out unconvinced said.
"Cultivators live for hundreds or thousands of years, what does being older matter?!"
"..."
At once, all leaders wanted to marry their clan’s pearl to Ye Fan, the entire hall was noisy, there was a trend of a fight breaking out if disagreements arose.
"Enough, stop fighting, we’ve presented our offers, let him choose. No matter whom he chooses, we will have no objection and will not damage harmony."
The Xue Clan Saint’s statement quieted everyone immediately, countless pairs of eyes gazed sharply at Ye Fan, filled with anticipation.
The feeling was as if saying: As long as you nod, my family’s pearl’s legs shall open for you...
