Chapter 352: The Arrogant Commentary on Personal Disciples, Unparalleled Assembly (Part 1)

"So bustling!"

"There are so many people!"

"It's much more prosperous than Hongwu Immortal City and the Southwest Imperial Capital," Wang Teng exclaimed in awe.

Three Saints City was incredibly vibrant.

Not only was it vast in size, but its interior was magnificent, and even the shops were as splendid as a palace.

The residential area in the distance was also extraordinary; one could tell at a glance that it was vastly different from the immortal cities in the Southwest Domain.

"Hmph!"

"Where did this country bumpkin come from?"

Hearing Wang Teng's exclamation, a passerby scowled, "The Southwest Domain is nothing compared to our Three Saints City. It's not even close, and the gap will only widen over the next million years."

The crowd: "..."

No one spoke, mainly because they were already accustomed to it.

Even the most hot-tempered and impatient Long Ao Jiao pretended not to hear, or perhaps she was just swatting away a buzzing mosquito.

Mainly...

The damn Three Saints City didn't allow random fights.

And this place was clearly not ordinary; otherwise, why would the Prodigy Grand Tournament, which almost stirred up the entire Immortal Martial Continent, be held within Three Saints City?

Therefore, even Long Ao Jiao couldn't afford to act recklessly.

She was impulsive, but not truly brainless.

She understood when to be rash and when to hold back.

However...

Everyone secretly remembered the appearance of this person.

Yes, it's not easy to make a move on you while we're in the city.

But what's wrong with remembering you? There will be a time when we leave the city, right?

Don't let us meet you outside the city, or we'll definitely make you understand why the flowers are so red!

Pfft!

...

"Extra! Extra!"

"How much do you know about Three Saints City?"

"Don't miss out, travelers from afar! For just ten Origin Stones, you can become an expert on Three Saints City!"

Not long after they walked away, a hawker's voice could be heard.

"Interesting," Wang Teng muttered. "I thought everyone in the Central Province looked down on us from the Eight Domains, but I didn't expect these merchants to have some brains."

"To do this kind of business, you have to kneel." Long Ao Jiao scoffed, "If it were me, I wouldn't do it like this."

"I would definitely stand and earn the money."

The crowd: "..."

Ah, right, right, right!

Su Yan stepped forward and gave the shop assistant twenty Origin Stones.

Just as he was about to ask, he saw the other party throw a jade slip at him.

"..."

He probed it with his divine sense and immediately understood.

"So that's how it is."

"This jade slip records the history and precautions of Three Saints City, which is indeed quite useful for outsiders like us."

"I guess it's because there have been too many people from the Eight Domains recently, and they've seen the business opportunity."

Long Ao Jiao snorted, "Do I even need to think about it? It must be like this!"

As they walked and stopped along the way, Su Yan narrated the history of Three Saints City.

At the same time, the group's attention-drawing rate was also quite high.

"Look at that group of people..."

"Hahaha, a bunch of country bumpkins carrying a coffin to attend the assembly? Do they know they're going to get beaten to death and have prepared a coffin in advance?"

"How interesting."

"A fishing rod and a coffin?"

"Wait! Look at that boy, that's..."

"Little Shi?!"

"Hiss! It's really him!"

"And the others are... the Moon Holding Sect's Heaven's Pride?"

"I've seen the intelligence. Previously, Shadow Sword-Lightning Shock spread the news that almost all of the Moon Holding Sect's Heaven's Pride were coming out, warning other Heaven's Pride to be careful..."

"Shadow Sword-Lightning Shock? Who does he think he is? Pfft."

"That's Long Ao Jiao!"

"This girl truly has the aura of an empress."

"It's said that her strength is also not weak!"

"Not talking about strength, but this appearance is undoubtedly my favorite!"

"..."

At first, Long Ao Jiao's face turned dark as she listened.

But gradually, her face became rosy.

She even slightly lifted her exquisite face, with a smile on her lips, feeling proud and content.

This girl is so beautiful~

Hmph!

...

"Three Saints City, the time of its establishment..." Su Yan held the jade slip in hand, Su Yan introduced, "In the beginning, it was just a gathering place for a few tribes."

"It is said that a long time ago, these few tribes often fought and clashed over hunting, resources, and so on, making it a very unstable place."

"In the end, only three tribes remained."

"And the strength of these three tribes was very powerful. Until one generation, each of the three tribes gave birth to a Peerless Heaven Tyrant."

"When these three Peerless Heaven Tyrants were young, they met by chance during an outing for hunting. Being still young, they didn't know each other's identities, or perhaps, being young at heart, they wanted to enjoy the rare peace."

"So, they didn't fight but played together without asking each other's names or identities."

"They fished and roasted fish together, lay on the grass and gazed at the starry sky, and even competed to see who could pee further. Later, they would also sneak away from their busy schedules to play and spar in secluded places."

"But good times didn't last. As they grew up, the conflicts between the tribes became more intense, and they were forced to step onto the battlefield, facing their childhood friends as enemies."

"..."

The crowd couldn't help but sigh.

Su Yan also paused before continuing, "On one side were their friends, and on the other were their tribes and families. They couldn't choose and could only fight for their clans under the trend of the times."

"Their hands were stained with the blood of their enemies."

"After that, even when they went to that secret base, they wouldn't speak anymore. Instead, they silently drank, and they even dared not drink the wine brought by the other."

"When the wine was finished, they left.

"Until... another decade passed."

"They had all become the backbone of their respective tribes, among the strongest few, and once again, a great war broke out."

"Another blood-soaked night."

"On that night, the bright moon hung high."

"Three young men, their hands stained with the blood of their enemies, once again gathered at the secret base to drink in silence."

"When they finished drinking, as two of them prepared to leave, the third one spoke up for the first time in all these years."

"He said, 'I want to change all of this.'"

"The other two stopped and mocked him, 'How can you change it?'"

"The chaos, the conflicts, the wars between tribes have been going on for who knows how many years, generation after generation. Every tribe has been stained with the blood of others."

"Change?"

"How easy is that?"

"I can't do it alone, but if we work together, nothing is impossible!"

"I... trust you. I believe that as long as we strive together, we can make it happen."

"As long as there is peace in this world, we can strive together to seize it and bring peace to our tribes."

"The wars between tribes have been going on for countless years, always the same. But is that how it should be? How many more years will it continue? Our ancestors, our children, our grandchildren... will they have to endure the same?"

"I don't want to be stained with the blood of your children, nor do I want to bury you with my own hands."

"Ridiculous."

"Naive."

"Do you trust me?"

"One of the youths scoffed and threw a jar of wine at him, 'Since you trust me, then drink this jar of poisoned wine. Drink it, and I'll believe you.'"

"But he didn't expect that the other youth would not hesitate and drank it all in one go."

"You knew it was poisoned, yet you drank it?! Too foolish, beyond help!"

"But in this world, there must be some fools, some naive people. Otherwise, would it really be like this generation after generation? There must be some changes in this world."

"..."

"Fool, truly a fool!"

"But I was moved by his words."

"You're a fool too!!!"

"Then... do you want to give it a try?"

"Unless you win, there's no other way."

"Haha, let's do it!"

"The three of them competed once more. This time, two of them, facing the wind, urinated three zhang away, showing their opposition. But the one who urinated with the wind ended up with a wet shoe."

"..."

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

Obviously, the youth's heart had been touched, but he stubbornly refused to admit it.

Otherwise, with his cultivation, if he didn't want to lose, how could he have urinated with the wind? It wasn't like he was an ordinary old man with insufficient internal energy.

"They're all such lovable people."

"Indeed, to remain clear-headed and pursue peace amidst generations of hatred, and to trust their 'enemies', they are truly lovable and naive."

"But obviously, they succeeded, otherwise, the Three Saints City wouldn't exist, right?"

Amidst the crowd's comments, Long Ao Jiao scoffed, "Nonsense!"

"In the end, they were still too weak."

"If I were one of them, why bother with such complications? With sufficient strength, I could forcefully suppress the three tribes. Those who disobey would be executed, and peace would naturally be achieved."

The crowd fell silent.

They rolled their eyes.

Alright, who else but you, Long Ao Jiao, could show off like this?

In this aspect, who could compare to you?

Su Yan played with the jade slip, "Indeed, the outcome is similar to what everyone expected."

"Those three Peerless Heaven Tyrants quickly rose to the core of the three tribes, and eventually became the tribal leaders, thanks to their talents and strength."

"After that, they performed many more acts."

"It was truly exhausting, but even so, the opposition within the tribes was strong. The records are a bit vague, as if they went through a dark period."

"Finally, the three tribes intermarried, and after a period of time, true peace was achieved."

"However, they soon realized that peace between the three tribes didn't guarantee overall peace, so the prototype of the Three Saints City gradually emerged."

"Then, in this region, large and small tribes heard their story, perhaps intentionally spread by them? In any case, more and more tribes were influenced. Thus, the Three Saints City rapidly developed and expanded, eventually becoming an absolutely neutral Immortal City that prohibited the use of force."

"Only then did the Three Saints City truly welcome peace. For countless years, there hasn't been a major war."

"The surrounding powers changed, the years passed, but the Three Saints City remained stable, solid as Mount Tai."

"Those three 'ancestors' were known as the Three Saints."

"Not only because of their strength, but because their strength transcended the mortal realm, all of them ascended to the immortal realm before reaching a thousand years of age."

"It is said that if they hadn't suppressed their cultivation, they would have ascended within a century."

"..."

"Ascension within a century?!"

Medusa Queen was surprised, "There are three such people in the world, and they all appeared in the same generation and from neighboring lands?"

Long Ao Jiao, who had been listening with her arms crossed, "..."

(^▽^) Yeah?!

Here's your chance to show off!

She smirked...

Ahem!

Why am I smirking? No, no! She coughed, "Ascension within a century, what's so hard to believe?"

"Look at me, if I want to ascend, do I need a mere century?"

"Fifty... no."

"Thirty years."

She raised three fingers, "I, will definitely ascend to the immortal realm within thirty years."

"Moreover, it's not just me."

She hummed, "I have a friend named Lu Ming, whose talent is only second to mine."

"And their Master." She pointed at Xiao Ling Er again, "Lin Fan's talent is extraordinary. Even I, the Young Heroine, must take him seriously. Compared to me, he's not far off at all."

Xiao Ling Er and the others: "..."

Ah, you're right.

Everything you say is correct.

Our Master is an exceptional existence, and you're not far off from her, which means you're just a little bit worse than her, right?

She's really full of it.

The crowd's mouths twitched uncontrollably, but at this moment, they didn't want to say much. After all, if they argued with Long Ao Jiao, it would only play into her hands.

The more they argued, the more excited she would get.

It's better to let her finish her boasting.

After all...

When someone boasts, if no one plays along, it's not that enjoyable. As long as it's not enjoyable enough, she'll eventually stop.

So...

Hmm, you continue.

Xiao Ling Er and the others were all feeling uncomfortable, each quietly watching her boast.

But Long Ao Jiao was in high spirits, her tongue as quick as a lotus blooming, "Not just Xiao Ling Er, even his other disciples..."

"Like Xiao Ling Er by your side, in my eyes, she could ascend to the Immortal Realm within fifty years."

Xiao Ling Er blinked: "..."

Huh?

Why am I being mentioned?

She was momentarily stunned, then let out a bitter laugh.

Long Ao Jiao really thought highly of herself.

But she herself didn't have that confidence.

Ascending to immortality within fifty years? When did ascending become so easy?

Fifty years... five hundred, five thousand, or even fifty thousand years, no, no matter how many years it takes, as long as she can ascend, that's good enough.

However...

She estimated that she should be able to ascend.

After all, in the 'Flame Emperor' written by her Master, Xiao Huo Huo also ascended in the end.

Ahem.

She was still pondering.

But Long Ao Jiao's mouth didn't stop, "It's not just Xiao Ling Er, hmm..."

She touched her chin, "Not only is he not showing off his abilities, but he indeed has the aura of an Emperor. Ascending to immortality is just a matter of time. Under the guidance of that bastard Lin Fan, this time will likely not be too long."

"Within a century, he should be able to achieve it."

Medusa Queen: "???"

What the hell!

So, is it true that I've been isolated from the Immortal Martial Continent for too long, and I don't understand the current world?

Or... is Long Ao Jiao just talking nonsense?

Before she could figure it out, Long Ao Jiao continued.

"Ya Ya, with the cultivation of the Eighth Realm, her combat power is comparable to the Ninth Realm. Even I have to look up to her. Ascending to the Immortal Realm, why wait a century? In my opinion, three to five decades is sufficient."

Medusa: "(⊙_⊙)"

"Qin Yu and Xu Feng Lai, although they don't show off their abilities, they are steadily moving forward. Within a century, I believe they will have no issues."

"Tian Bo and Song Yunxiao, these two are a bit strange, even I can't see through them. But with their good fortune, ascending within a century is not difficult."

"Jiang Li, Jiang Ni, and Huo Yun Er... these three are slightly inferior, oh, and that fool Jian Zi."

Jian Zi: "???"

Why am I being mentioned now?

He was speechless.

And you, Long Ao Jiao, go ahead and boast. You've made my Master and Senior Disciples sound so powerful, but why do you single me out and call me a fool?

It's simply absurd!

Jiang Li and Jiang Ni: "(▽) ..."

Huo Yun Er helplessly spread her hands, remaining silent.

They were quite curious to know how Long Ao Jiao would evaluate them.

But they heard Long Ao Jiao chuckle, "Their talents are slightly inferior, but they are still excellent choices, not bad at all."

"Within a century, it may be a bit difficult, but ascending is definitely not a problem. It just requires some time."

Jian Zi: "Pfft!"

Alright then!

Since you say I'll definitely ascend, I won't argue with you.

But Long Ao Jiao wasn't done yet, turning to Xiao Long Nu, "This girl isn't from Moon Holding Sect, but I can see her true self. With her extraordinary identity, ascending is certain."

Then it was San Ye's turn.

Long Ao Jiao's eyebrows furrowed, "This weed... I can't see through it either."

"But I've heard Lin Fan mention more than once that this weed could slay the sun, moon, and stars."

"Combining that with her previous performance, I must take her seriously."

"It's crucial not to underestimate her just because she's a mere weed."

After everyone had been evaluated, Shi Hao became anxious.

Why am I being left out? Why me?

Medusa was also curious.

After Long Ao Jiao's boasting, it seemed like ascending within a century had become commonplace.

Initially, she didn't believe it.

But considering that they had defeated that Ninth Level Old Fellow with a Ninth Level Circle Kick... and that Long Ao Jiao could fight against a Ninth Level opponent alone, her words did carry some credibility.

So...

Although it felt absurd, she was quite interested.

She wanted to know how Long Ao Jiao would evaluate Shi Hao.

"You..."

"You're still young, and your cultivation system is completely different from others. Moreover, the person I can't see through the most is you."

"Your future, your present, your past, I can't see through any of it."

"Even..."

Long Ao Jiao's face turned solemn, "You exist in chaos, in a state of nothingness."

"It's as if..."

"You don't belong in this world."

"No one can define your future."

Including Shi Hao, everyone who heard these words was dumbfounded.

Only Ya Ya trembled.

"This Long Ao Jiao..."

She whispered, "She does have some skills, to be able to see through Little Stone..."

"Is there really no one who can define his future?"

Everyone turned to look at Shi Hao.

Shi Hao was completely baffled, "What does that mean?"

Long Ao Jiao withdrew her gaze and shook her head slowly, "I can't see through it."

"Perhaps at that time, you'll understand it yourself."

Long Ao Jiao turned to look at Medusa Queen, "How about you?"

"Do you still think it's impressive to ascend to immortality within a century?"

"It's not uncommon, but it's also not that rare..."
