It had been a long while before Yun Shan looked at Yang Hao and spoke.
"No!"
Yang Hao didn't look up, continuing to gaze at the map, examining the terrain around Undying City.
In the not-too-distant future, this place would become a gathering ground for heroes, and the chaotic era of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces would begin its unfolding from here.
"Undying City!"
"It will open in two years!"
Yun Shan glanced at the location Yang Hao was focused on and said softly, "You possess a strong emperor's aura, you are at the Saint Lord realm, and outside are three top-tier Quasi-Supreme human beings!"
"Each with vigorous blood and long lifespans, they are the era's chosen among humans, capable of fighting beyond their level, it seems!"
Yang Hao looked up in astonishment. Yun Shan, unable to cultivate and unable to bear divine power, was after all a human prodigy who had once stepped into the Supreme realm.
She had keen eyesight!
However, what astonished Yang Hao was how Yun Shan, who had regressed to the Great Sage realm, could discern this.
"You don't need to be shocked!"
Yun Shan gave a wry smile, "Due to my own circumstances, and certain connections within the human bloodline, I can sense these things."
"The pattern of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces has long been established. Besides the Northern Nether, I truly cannot imagine any other place that could produce so many human prodigies!"
"You carry an emperor's aura, to which kingdom do you belong as an emperor?"
"Great Han!"
Yang Hao said softly.
"Great Han?"
"I've heard of it!"
Yun Shan glanced at Yang Hao, "You are Yang Hao, the Divine Emperor of the Great Han Divine Dynasty, aren't you!"
"Hmm? You?"
Yang Hao raised his eyes slightly.
"Five years ago, near Undying City, I met a woman named Xia Xin Yu. She noticed my physical deficiency and told me that if anyone in this dimension could help me repair my injuries, it would only be the Divine Emperor of the Great Han Divine Dynasty!"
Yun Shan's eyes fixed on Yang Hao.
"Xia Xin Yu!"
Yang Hao looked at Yun Shan, "I shall still dispatch people to send you back to the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty. Regarding your condition, I am powerless!"
"I would rather die than return!"
Yun Shan turned her head, her voice faint, "What use is a family that only values cultivation talent? My mother is dead, my title has been revoked. My current body, upon returning to the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty, would only lead to endless humiliation and waiting for death!"
"It's getting late, get some rest!" Su Dan Novel Network
Yang Hao looked at the map for a while, then stood up. As he left, he tossed a considerable amount of precious spiritual materials to Yun Shan.
"Your body has deficiencies, take these spiritual materials first and supplement your divine power when necessary!"
"Thank you!"
Yun Shan clasped the spiritual materials, her eyes welling up with tears. Since her foundation was damaged, she could no longer generate divine power when circulating her techniques. Moreover, every thousand years she would drop a realm. If not for the support of spiritual materials, she would have already perished.
Outside the grand hall, Yang Hao gazed at the heavens. In his hand was a drop of True Phoenix essence blood, though he intended to observe for a while longer.
"System, can you detect Yun Shan's condition?"
"Ding! Yun Shan, possessor of the True Phoenix bloodline, has activated the True Phoenix bloodline. However, due to the bloodline being too dilute, her physical body cannot support the awakening of the True Phoenix bloodline. Therefore, the decline in her realm is merely the bloodline absorbing her internal divine power!"
"Has it awakened already?"
Yang Hao turned back. No wonder Yun Shan's realm had been inexplicably falling. A failed awakening shouldn't lead to such a dire state.
"With such a body, the bloodline is diluted to the point of being very thin. It's unlikely to support the bloodline's awakening. This Yun Shan will ultimately end up with her flesh and blood dissipating, dying as mere bones!"
Yang Hao shook his head. The True Phoenix bloodline was immensely powerful. From ancient times to the present, such a long duration, the Yun Clan lineage had multiplied over countless generations. That sliver of bloodline had long since been diluted to almost nothing.
By Yun Shan's generation, wanting to awaken it was truly wishful thinking. Like Yun Shan, although she had activated it, she couldn't support the power of the True Phoenix bloodline. Even if she exhausted her flesh and blood, she wouldn't be able to awaken it.
......
On the second day of the fourth month, in the thirty-ninth year of Great Han.
Yang Hao and a few others walked out of the manor, heading towards the center of Holy City. Holy City was vast, more than three times larger than Chang'an.
Especially upon entering the streets, looking up towards the center of Holy City from afar, layers of grand formations pulsed, and boundless divine power flowed slowly in the sky. Those floating islands in the sky had long since vanished, replaced by exquisite pavilions!
They were arranged neatly and orderly, with countless banners flying above. These should be the observation platforms for this event.
Each pavilion represented a faction!
As they reached the main street, Gu Po, clad in official robes, had already been waiting for a long time.
"Divine Emperor of Great Han, please!"
Gu Po smiled and stepped aside.
"Those void pavilions?"
Yang Hao raised his eyes, looking at the pavilions suspended in the void.
"Divine Emperor of Great Han, my senior brother Xianyu Jianguo is proclaiming himself emperor. Naturally, all the top factions of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces have been invited to witness the ceremony. This grand event, apart from the eight great families of the Central Continent, all other factions have sent beings to participate!"
"Those pavilions correspond to different factions!"
Gu Po said indifferently, looking at the exquisite pavilions and palaces. They had prepared for this for a full ten years.
Today, at this grand ceremony, he firmly believed that the Zhulu Immortal Dynasty would ascend to the pinnacle of the world, becoming even more powerful than the Zhulu Sacred Sect!
Yang Hao smiled slightly, "Then I truly must take a good look at this grand ceremony. It is a rare opportunity to borrow your esteemed land and witness many powerful forces of the world!"
Yang Hao was inwardly startled. He had thought only the forces of the Western Frontier and Southern Marsh would participate. Unexpectedly, with the exception of the eight great families of the Central Continent, everyone else was present. To be honest, the Great Han Divine Dynasty still had a considerable distance to go to reach the top factions of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.
At the very least, if the Great Han Divine Dynasty had three or four human talents at the Heavenly Venerate realm, he would feel a bit more at ease.
"Divine Emperor of Great Han, we have arrived. This is your location for Great Han. The pavilions are numerous, and the forces are intricate. It is best for the Divine Emperor to move around less!"
Half an hour later, Gu Po led Yang Hao and the others onto a suspended pavilion. The pavilion's location was not ideal, essentially situated at the edge.
There was no other way, as the Great Han Divine Dynasty's foundation was still weak!
Gu Po bowed slightly to Yang Hao and then left the pavilion, stepping into the void towards the Imperial Palace.
"Divine Emperor, bringing the Great Han Divine Dynasty before the top factions at this time might not be opportune."
Yun Shan said softly, looking at the numerous floating pavilions.
"It matters not!"
Yang Hao sat at the head seat, scanning the entire Holy City, "Wherever I go, no one can stop me if I so wish!"
"Who dares to stop!"
"They shall all be executed!"
Yun Shan was shocked. Could these be the words of a Divine Dynasty's ruler? Yang Hao was merely at the Saint Lord realm, and the ones following him, Meng Tian, Wei Xiaokuan, and Dian Wei, though human prodigies, were only at the top-tier Quasi-Supreme realm.
This was still far from the Lesser Heavenly Venerate and Great Heavenly Venerate stages!
