Chapter 366: The Northwest Region Sect Conference
After hearing Wu Tian's explanation, Yun Yun naturally gave up on her initial idea.
Nalan Yanran's talent was considered exceptional in the Jia Ma Empire, but once she stepped into the Black Corner Region and Jia Nan Academy, she was nothing special.
Her strength barely qualified her to enter the Inner Academy, after all, the true geniuses of the continent were not something a mere small empire could produce.
After the discussion, Wu Tian took both Medusa and Yun Yun by the hand and led them to the room.
They had an important matter to "research."
…
Compared to the harmony on that side, elsewhere, someone was walking happily through a bustling street.
This person wore a black robe, carrying a giant ruler on his back.
His imposing aura made the people on the street instinctively keep their distance.
This man was Xiao Yan, who had left the Xiao Clan of Jia Ma Empire.
After being tied to the clan's entrance by his own two brothers, left to be pelted with vegetable scraps and eggs, he had long abandoned any lingering attachment to the Xiao Clan.
The family bond he once cherished had been completely erased by that day's humiliation.
After experiencing the tragedy at Yun Lan Sect, he no longer understood what it meant to be hopeless but rather, he understood what it meant to survive.
More than dying, he wanted to live.
Only by becoming a top tier powerhouse could he make everyone acknowledge him.
He had to lie low, grow stronger, and one day shock the world!
However, what frustrated him the most was the ancient looking ring on his hand none other than Yao Chen's soul bound ring!
Facing this terrifying existence, Xiao Yan had no means to resist, so he simply chose to ignore him.
After all, Wu Tian hadn't killed him, which meant he still had value.
Understanding this, he left the capital that very night.
What he didn't know was that as soon as he stepped out of the city… he lost consciousness.
At that moment, Yao Chen took him straight to Wu Tian.
Wu Tian immediately understood why Yao Chen had come.
He was pleased with how Yao Chen had followed his orders.
So, he took out Yun Shan's corpse and handed it to Yao Chen, along with several precious medicinal ingredients.
Seeing these rare materials, Yao Chen was overjoyed, thinking Wu Tian was about to help him restore his physical body.
However…
Wu Tian calmly told him "I'm giving these to you, but from now on, you and your beloved disciple will roam the continent together. Once he collects enough Heavenly Flames, you can have him refine your body for you!"
Yao Chen was dumbfounded.
What?! You mean… I have to work again?!
Work, work, work… My soul is bound to eternal labor!
To fully restore his body, he needed multiple Heavenly Flames.
And Xiao Yan had none.
Which meant…
It could take decades!
Despite his inner complaints, when Yao Chen saw Wu Tian's smiling yet intimidating expression…
He reluctantly accepted his fate.
And so, Xiao Yan and his dear teacher set off on another journey.
Their new path would be filled with hardship, because to find more Heavenly Flames, they had to leave the Northwest Region and step into the broader world!
…
Jia Ma Empire, Capital City.
At the top floor of Cai Lin Pavilion, a group of powerful figures was gathered for an important discussion.
Due to Cai Lin Pavilion's influence, Jia Xingtian himself had joined the organization.
Even Queen Yao Ye had personally come to participate in the meeting.
"Elder Hai, Yun Lan Sect has perished. This is both a blessing and a problem for the Jia Ma Empire. Although Cai Lin Pavilion has taken its place, it will take time for the common people to fully accept this change."
Sitting at the main seat, Hai Bodong nodded.
"Yes, these things take time. But… the Northwest Region Sect Conference is approaching. According to our Pavilion Master's orders, Cai Lin Pavilion will represent Jia Ma Empire in the competition!"
"We're participating in the Sect Conference?"
The room fell silent.
The Northwest Region Sect Conference was a major gathering where the most powerful sects of the Northwest Continent came together.
Every year, this conference attracted countless strong cultivators.
However, Jia Ma Empire had always been at the bottom, mocked and humiliated by the surrounding nations.
Especially the neighboring empires, who took every opportunity to belittle them.
Yun Shan himself had once been so ridiculed that he desperately allied with the Hall of Souls, hoping to prove that Yun Lan Sect was still a dominant force.
Unfortunately…
He placed his bets on the wrong side.
Everyone had assumed that Jia Ma Empire wouldn't even bother participating this time after all, Cai Lin Pavilion was too powerful to care about such a small event.
A Dou Zun powerhouse surely wouldn't waste time with a mere sect competition, right?
But now…
Not only was Cai Lin Pavilion participating, but they were representing Jia Ma Empire.
This shocking revelation made everyone excited beyond belief.
With Cai Lin Pavilion's involvement…
The Northwest Region's sects were doomed.
It felt like a beaten down warrior had suddenly become unstoppable.
Even Hai Bodong felt immensely satisfied after all, he had endured years of humiliation at these conferences.
Now, with Wu Tian backing them, the entire Northwest Continent was about to tremble!
Wu Tian's reason for participating was simple
He planned to use this conference to unify the entire Northwest Continent!
This was a mission given by the system, and the rewards were far too generous to ignore.
His ultimate goal was to make the Serpent Race a legendary name across the entire Dou Qi Continent!
Unlike Jia Ma Empire, where power was divided among various factions, most empires in the Northwest Region followed a "Sect as Nation" system.
Meaning, one powerful sect ruled over an entire empire.
The Sect Master was equivalent to an emperor.
This system allowed greater control and development, unlike Jia Ma Empire, where different powers were always wary of each other.
Now that the Hall of Souls' branch had been wiped out, no one could stop Wu Tian.
So, once all the sects gathered at the Sect Conference…
With just a flick of his fingers, he would bring the entire Northwest Continent under his rule!
Absolute strength required absolute dominance.
That was why Hai Bodong had received the order to participate.
"Haha! Finally, I'll get to put those bastards in their place!"
Jia Xingtian slammed the table, his face full of excitement.
Sitting beside him, Fama, the President of the Alchemist Association, quickly swallowed a calming pill.
"Damn it, old Jia! Do you have to be so loud?! I nearly had a heart attack!"
Jia Xingtian rolled his eyes. "Are you serious? A mighty Dou Huang like you, scared by my voice?"
Fama snorted. "Bullshit! Look at yourself you're already a Dou Zong now! If I die of shock, who else would I blame?!"
Jia Xingtian paused, then slapped his forehead.
"Ah… right! I totally forgot I became a Dou Zong!"
The entire room stared at him in silence.
They all knew
This old monster just wanted to brag.
