Chapter 14 The Truth

"War King, don't be anxious. What I mean is, we can't just advance without a single battle, and look outside, everyone is stirred up right now." The Celestial Immortal said, which made sense. Jiang Xuan's approach was indeed rogue-like. Advancing by this method might cause dissatisfaction.

"Fellow Daoist Luo Yu, His Majesty has entrusted you with the responsibility of the royal clan competition. Let Fellow Daoist decide on this matter."

After pondering for a moment, he looked at Luo Yu Celestial Immortal. Luo Yu Celestial Immortal was responsible for this royal clan competition, and he was the one with real authority. Others could at most offer suggestions, and whether or not they were adopted depended on him.

Luo Yu Celestial Immortal had a smile on his lips, his gaze seeming to reflect the scene within the Mountain and River Diagram. Finally, he slowly opened his mouth, "His Majesty has said that the royal clan competition is a comprehensive test of strength and luck. If Jiang Xuan can advance without a single battle, then I will naturally follow the rules."

The meaning was clear. He wouldn't change the rules because of this small matter. If Jiang Xuan didn't fight anyone until the end of the first round, that was his own skill.

The Celestial Immortal wearing the Flood Dragon Robe didn't say anything more. Since Luo Yu Celestial Immortal had already spoken, there was no need to interfere in such a small matter.

However, while these Celestial Immortal Ancestors didn't care, more and more people outside noticed Jiang Xuan, for no other reason than anger.

Everyone was waiting for him to be caught, to be eliminated by other prodigies, but every time Jiang Xuan seemed to be able to foresee the future. As soon as an enemy approached, regardless of whether the opponent was strong or weak, he would immediately slip away.

Countless people's emotions rose and fell with Jiang Xuan's actions. They were excited to see him about to be caught, but disappointed and angry when he ran away. Again and again, Jiang Xuan was never seen fighting anyone.

"Are those Chosen Ones blind? That guy is wandering around under their noses, how come they haven't caught him yet!"

"Damn it, he ran again! Can't he show a little courage and fight someone?"

"Damn it, I heard from a Yuanshen cultivator that this guy has probably activated his divine sense. Unless he encounters a Zifu cultivator who has also activated his divine sense, it's impossible to capture him with divine sense!"

"This... this is unfair! This is cheating! I want to protest!"

Too many people were watching this royal clan competition. The Mountain and River Diagram covered thousands of miles, reflecting the entire royal capital. Within the scope of the royal capital, the scene could be seen.

However, at this moment, the majority of people wanted Jiang Xuan to be caught and eliminated, far exceeding Jiang Xuan's expectations.

Several days later, the first round finally ended, and the top thirty-six of the three realms were determined.

On the wide, boundless square, three beams of light slowly descended. Within each beam of light were thirty-six people. Jiang Xuan leisurely walked out from one of them.

In the past few days, he had lived quite freely, with wine and meat. The only flaw was the lack of entertainment. Every day, he was either sunbathing or running away.

"Alas, it's all because I'm a pacifist."

He just wanted to cultivate properly, and then hug the thighs of his other selves in other worlds, steadily moving towards transcendence.

Fighting and the like, forget it. Anyway, someone will save this Three Realms, and someone will save this chaotic universe.

A certain future North Sea Supreme: ???

"Strange, why are these guys all staring at me? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Jiang Xuan touched his face. That was impossible. He always paid attention to hygiene in the small world, taking a shower with running water every day. How could there be something dirty?

Moreover, no matter how he looked at it, those people's eyes carried a strange emotion, like—resentment?

What the hell?

Jiang Xuan complained inwardly. He hadn't figured out what was going on. He had been so low-key in the small world, no one should have noticed him.

On the surface, he still maintained a calm and elegant appearance, with a faint smile on his lips, with an aura that everything was under his control.

Until, he saw his cheap father in this life. That small look was a hundred times more resentful than the resentment in other people's eyes.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Jiang Xuan asked through voice transmission. What was going on? Did Grandpa beat him again?

Jiang Jue's eyes suddenly widened when he heard the voice transmission, as if to say: You have the nerve to ask what's wrong?!

"Alas..."

Jiang Jue sighed deeply, and then replied through voice transmission: "Do you know that everything you do in the small world can be seen by the outside world?"

"I know, so I've always been very low-key and haven't exposed my strength." Jiang Xuan replied. Wasn't he low-key enough?

Even if he encountered a Zifu cultivator he was 100% sure he could beat, he would still walk around them. What else did they want him to do?

"Yes, truly low-key."

Jiang Jue looked at the sky speechlessly, but the voice transmission didn't stop: "Using Dao Domain ice to chill spirit wine, using the complete Dao to bathe, using divine sense to avoid enemies... I really can't find anyone more low-key than you."

Jiang Jue's voice transmission exploded in Jiang Xuan's mind. Thinking of the eyes of those spectators when he first came out, a thought suddenly arose in his mind.

"Father, you don't mean to say that everything I did was seen by these spectators, right?" Jiang Xuan asked cautiously through voice transmission.

Jiang Jue shook his head, but before Jiang Xuan could breathe a sigh of relief, he transmitted his voice again: "Not just them, I estimate that half of the royal capital knows."

Rumble...

In Jiang Xuan's mind, thunder rumbled, all sounds were silenced, as if there was Pangu creating the world, as if there was darkness destroying all living beings...

At this moment, he was completely stunned. Half of the royal capital knew?

How big was the royal capital? This was the royal capital of a Great Chiliocosm, vast and boundless, stretching for millions of miles, with a population of trillions. Half of the royal capital knew, how many people was that?

Jiang Xuan only felt dizzy, and everything in reality seemed to be separating from him.

"Tired... let's destroy it!"

His image, the beautiful image he had maintained for more than ten years, was all gone at this moment.

Looking at the eyes full of resentment in all directions, Jiang Xuan only felt hopeless in this life.

He knew that someone would definitely see him, but he was either running away or resting in the small world. These monks shouldn't like such a boring thing, shouldn't they be watching the battles of the Chosen and the competition of the prodigies?

Why were they watching him camping?

Why were they watching him only run away?

When did your tastes become so strange?

This wasn't Xuanhuan at all.

Everyone was poisonous!

Jiang Xuan complained inwardly. Although he knew that these people were jealous of him, there were too many people. He inexplicably gained thousands of trillions of fans, all of whom were haters, which was a bit stimulating.

"Alas, I can only be a pacifist after all."

I am kind and only want to cultivate immortality, longevity, transcendence, and eternity. Who asked you to be idle and go watch my escape career, ruin my image, and force me to reveal my true colors? This is all your fault!

In Jiang Xuan's heart, this idea gradually became firm.

Since he couldn't maintain his gentle, calm, and noble image, he could only choose another path: to use strength to shock the world!

To make everyone, at the moment they mentioned his name, think of full of awe, instead of today's unreliability.
