Side Story 1
In front of the unnamed secret realm in the Nine Provinces, cultivators were arriving one after another.
If you observed closely, you would find that all the cultivators heading here were prodigies, young in age but with cultivation levels far surpassing their peers.
The prodigies eyed each other warily, knowing that these were their future rivals. Only by defeating everyone could they succeed Lu, the old People's Emperor, and become the new People's Emperor.@@novelbin@@
"The Head of the Corpse Driving Sect's last disciple, Gui Banshan, the Dual Cultivation Sect's senior sister, Meng Youyou, and Xuan Yuan Gang, who shares the sword spiritual root with the Swordsman... all familiar faces."
The prodigies quickly recognized each other, all of them renowned in the martial world, each with unique skills, enough to dominate their generation.
They stood a little taller, confident they could defeat all opponents and become the seventy-second People's Emperor.
A distinguished young man in white, with a sword at his waist, drew the attention of many cultivators upon his arrival.
"Look, that's Bai Hongtu, the Taoist sect emissary. I knew he would be on the People's Emperor candidate list!"
"I heard he's hailed as the most outstanding prodigy of the Taoist sect in nine thousand years, proficient in array formations, alchemy, and artifact crafting, unmatched in swordsmanship. Recently, he shone at the Sword Tomb, sitting in meditation for three days. When he rose, his eyes shot out golden light, sword energy spanning thirty thousand miles, cutting six out of eighteen stone tablets. Even Xuan Yuan Gang of the Sword Pavilion conceded defeat!"
Bai Hongtu, with his handsome appearance and confident smile, was the object of admiration for countless female cultivators, truly deserving the title of the Taoist sect's most outstanding prodigy.
Soon, another cold and aloof female cultivator arrived, quickly drawing attention.
Her peerless beauty and unapproachable aura discouraged many who wanted to get close.
Bai Hongtu and the aloof female cultivator nodded to each other as a greeting.
"That's Yu Yin, right? The Tianyuan crown princess. I heard there's no one in the Tianyuan Empire who can match her among her peers, and she's even won against many from the older generation!"
Yu Yin heard someone discussing her and shot a cold glance, scaring the person into silence.
"Yu Yin, you're still like this. Be careful, or you won't make any friends," a newcomer said with a smile, witnessing the scene.
Most people hadn't seen the newcomer before. "Who is that? Do you know him?"
"Never seen him, but to be a People's Emperor candidate, his talent is unquestionable. If we haven't seen him, there are two possibilities: either he's a disciple hidden by some power, or he's a rogue cultivator. The latter is harder to deal with."
Yu Yin wasn't surprised by the newcomer's arrival. "Jiang Li, so you became a People's Emperor candidate too."
Jiang Li smiled. "The earth veins favor me."
"Jiang Li? I remember that name. I heard he was the top graduate of the Great Zhou Royal Academy. Many forces wanted to recruit him after graduation, but he refused, saying he wanted to travel the world. After that, no one knew where he went."
