Chapter 1296: Chapter 440: When the Stars Shine (Last Day for Double Monthly Passes!)_2
This voice is ancient, vast, as if it had flowed through endless eons, and it seems to encompass all of the present world.
It is close to the ear, yet far on the horizon.
"Jiang Wang!" Jiang Wang responded loudly.
The voice asked again: "What do you wish to do?"
Jiang Wang said: "I have claimed the champion title and ascend to raise the flag!"
"Indeed!"
A sigh, then no more sound.
Jiang Wang looked up again and found that he had reached the end of the stairs of gleaming light, before him stood a circular flag platform.
It looks...
Very much like the Guanhe Platform, only many times smaller.
The round hole left in the center was surrounded by six pillars.
Jiang Wang stood the flag in his hand upright, inserting the pole into the platform’s round hole, grabbed the flag with his right hand, and unfurled it high up! frёewebnoѵēl.com
There, the regal and supreme purple flag fluttered in the sky.
A purple Divine Dragon on the flag soared proudly, its scales and claws fully revealed, its eyes emanating divine light, with its head and tail forming a complete circle.
In the very center of the circle encircled by the Divine Dragon was a bright purple star, supremely noble, illuminating the whole world.
This is the Purple Micro Middle Heaven Emperor Flag that represents the Daqi Empire!
At the moment when the Purple Micro Middle Heaven Emperor Flag fluttered on the flag platform,
Within the World Stage, people could see that on the wall erected by the Dharma Phase of Emperor Qi, the pattern of the Purple Micro Middle Heaven Emperor Flag had also appeared.
The entire enclosure of the Pillars of the Six Unions all had blank walls with only a faint flowing light. Only the wall representing Eastern Qi at this moment was covered with the flag of the Daqi Empire.
This is an immense honor!
Every Qi denizen present stood up and paid their respects to this particular wall.
Cao Jie spoke loudly: "How magnificent is our Great Qi!"
All People of Qi echoed: "How magnificent our Great Qi!"
Meanwhile, at the end of the Heaven Stairs, Jiang Wang who had raised the Purple Micro Middle Heaven Emperor Flag, saw a spot of light descend from an obscure and unknowable place, settling upon his forehead.
What was this?
He didn’t have time to ponder; the next moment, he was back on the World Stage.
By then, the Heaven Stairs had vanished, and all around was silence.
The Purple Micro Middle Heaven Emperor Flag representing the Daqi Empire fluttered on the Guanhe Platform!
Jiang Wang faced the direction of the people of Qi and smiled, saying: "I have not failed your expectations!"
What greeted him was the prolonged cheering of the People of Qi.
Among the various nations of the world, countless geniuses after more than ten years, only these three champion titles have emerged.
This session even saw just two!
One has been claimed by Qi Country!
An honor and glory that is difficult to surpass in this world!
In the annals of Qi Country, it will be recorded thus—In the fifty-fifth year of Yuan Feng, on the twelfth day of the seventh month, Jiang Wang, a young man from Green Sheep Town of Qi Country, attained the champion title at the Guanhe Platform in the Inner Court, and thus raised the flag for his nation!
Set aside the reactions of the Qi people and the champion himself.
One honor after another.
Yu Xi, as the host of the Yellow River Gathering, announced at this moment: "The champion title of the Inner Court has been decided. Let us await tomorrow to continue the Gathering of the Greats! Everyone, please..."
"Permission to report, True Monarch Yu!"
A voice suddenly fell.
Jiang Wang on the platform turned around abruptly!
This voice was like a sharp sword that streaked across the sky, cutting through heaven and earth, cleaving into the hearts of men.
It was too sharp.
It cut through people’s still boiling emotions over the decision of the champion title with ease.
It mercilessly slashed into the ears of everyone present.
As for Jiang Wang, this voice was all too familiar!
How many times it had shrieked in his memories!
How many times it had echoed by his ear!
All eyes followed the sound, only to see—
From the entrance in the northeast direction, a young man in white walked in.
His brows, eyes, nose, lips, even his long hair, all gave one an extreme sense of sharpness.
And his gaze, lukewarm, indifferent, yet naive!
Such a contradictory and complex sensation was hard to believe coming from the same pair of eyes.
But this person just walked in, and said to the True Monarch Yu Xi, "Why wait for tomorrow?"
What did he mean by that?
Everyone was astonished and puzzled.
Under these circumstances, this posture, these words, everyone had a vague guess, but no one dared to confirm it!
It was too preposterous, too unbelievable!
"Li Yi!" The Golden Crown Priest Namo Duo, showing a look of shock for the first time today, spoke out loud from his place at Mugu’s preparation area: "You are actually Tai Yu?"
Utterly devoted to the sword, utterly devoted to the Way; Li Yi, the representative of the highest achievement of the current era’s Art of the Way of the Sword, how could he not know him?
The Art of the Way of the Sword has already replaced the once glorious Art of the Flying Sword that dominated an era, but till now, the Art of the Way of the Sword has also begun to fade, becoming a niche, which is another evolution in the history of cultivation. And Li Yi, he was once regarded as the only possibility that could lead to a resurgence of the Art of the Way of the Sword’s splendor.
He and his sword, both exceedingly sharp, held many splendid feats.
Even the esteemed Golden Crown Priest Namo Duo, who had met him inadvertently on Taoist paths without engaging in battle, recognized him. freewebnoveℓ.com
But Li Yi, who clearly originated from a small nation that had long perished, when did he become a citizen of Jinguo?
"Indeed!"
Li Yi did not speak himself, but Xian Nankui, the Divine Strategy Army Commander of Jinguo, standing in the preparation area, asserted loudly and passionately: "Jinguo’s Li Yi, whose Taoist name is Taixu Real Person! Five days ago, he was conferred the title on Daluo Mountain!"
Being conferred a title on Daluo Mountain, Li Yi’s origin was beyond doubt.
The man had once wandered alone in the world, seemingly without affiliation, regarded as a True Man of the Age. But now, it seemed that he was a hidden piece planted by Jinguo across the world.
Jinguo had forsaken both the Outer Building and Inner Mansion competitions, and their representative hero under thirty had yet to appear. Throughout the entire Yellow River Gathering, the haughty People of the Jing Nation had been silent. From beginning to end, Xian Nankui sat alone in the preparation area with virtually no presence.
But the moment he spoke out, it shocked the world!
Displaying the domineering and powerful spirit of Jinguo!
A True Man!
A True Man who had been conferred a title on Daluo Mountain!
He turned out to be representing Jinguo in the unrestricted competition for heroes under thirty at the Yellow River Gathering!!!
