Chapter 633: Chapter 633: Immortal Emperor’s Honorary Title_1 Chapter 633: Chapter 633: Immortal Emperor’s Honorary Title_1 The identity of the young man in black was that of Shen Jianting, the most outstanding disciple of amongst the few major powers in the Ancient Martial World, the Sword Heaven Sect.
And his master, the white-haired elder, was the Supreme Elder of the Sword Heaven Sect, Shi Jingshi, a powerful being who had reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Venerable Realm.
“I have high hopes for you,”
Upon hearing his disciple’s words, Shi Jingshi nodded in satisfaction and said with a heavy heart,
“In the past three years, you have engaged in secluded cultivation at the Sword Tomb and have become a Martial King.
You have even grasped our sect’s defining martial art, Myriad Swords Unity, and have been acknowledged by as many as seven Divine Swords.”
“I estimate that among the younger generation, only Li Tianfan from the Shushan Sword Sect and Chu Wuya from the Kunlun Sect in the Western Regions can rival you, the rest are not worth mentioning.”
“But, you must not become arrogant due to your talent.
This world is full of emerging heroes, and there are many strong individuals.
Caution should always be your priority.”
“Disciple understands, and will keep the master’s teachings in mind!” Shen Jianting said with a light smile.
However, looking at his facial expressions, it seemed that he didn’t take this lesson very seriously.
Shi Jingshi naturally noticed this and sighed inwardly, choosing not to say anything more.
As for what kind of person his disciple was, he knew all too well.
Shen Jianting had exceptional talent for cultivation, worked relentlessly hard, and had a resolute character.
Unfortunately, he had one flaw, which was his arrogant and self-indulgent nature, always somewhat conceited.
Now that he had gained considerable strength from his recent period of secluded cultivation, he had been looking down on the experts of the world.
Beset by his repeated failure to correct this, Shi Jingshi could only hope that after experiencing setbacks and hardships, gaining a deeper understanding of life, his disciple would rein in his temperament and mature.
As for the journey to the Northern Border Ruins this time, he wasn’t very worried.
After all, there shouldn’t be many who could defeat Shen Jianting.
…
The commotion in this area of the sea continued for another fifteen minutes.

With most people having departed, only Xu Fan, members of the Flame Dragon Organization, and Zhu Yangyuan remained.
They were seated in the grand hall of the Flame Dragon Organization’s ship, and at a glance, one could see that they were all high-ranking members, essentially a gathering of a large part of the organization’s leadership.
Apart from Qin Qinglong, who had only reached the pinnacle of Martial Arts Grandmaster, the rest were Martial Kings or higher.
Each of them, if mentioned, would be a figure who commanded respect in their own right.
After taking a potent healing medicine and regulating his energy, Zhu Yangyuan had almost half recovered from his injuries.
Apart from being unable to fight, he seemed no different from a normal person.
Qin Qinglong followed closely behind Zhu Yangyuan, always bowing his head and occasionally glancing at Xu Fan with a complex expression in his eyes.
As the first amongst the younger generation in Yanjing, he was quite proud and even arrogant deep down.
Yet, all of that crumbled today, at the hands of Xu Fan.
The gap between him and Xu Fan was indescribable, to say it was as vast as the heavens and the earth would not be an exaggeration, and he surmised it was something he would likely never bridge in his lifetime.
“Xu Fan, I am very curious about you,”
With complex emotions, Zhu Yangyuan looked at Xu Fan and pondered before speaking, “Where do you come from?
Were you taken over by an immortal power?
Or have you awakened memories of a past life where you were an immortal of significance?”
He based his speculations around the word “immortal” because he had noticed several clues.
For example, Xu Fan’s manipulation of Spiritual Energy was extremely profound, and his combat experience seemed even greater than Zhu’s, combined with the various exquisite Martial Arts Techniques he used effortlessly, those techniques were not easily acquired even in the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.
Most importantly, all of this was exhibited by a young man in his twenties.
Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn’t suppress their curiosity and turned their gazes towards him.
Everyone had already been speculating, as Xu Fan’s strength seemed completely out of sync with normal cultivation progress.
His rise was simply too rapid!
“Could it really be this situation?”
Li Fuqiang also muttered to himself, the more he thought about it, the more he felt this was the truth.
He was certain that during his childhood and youth, Xu Fan was just an ordinary person with no cultivation base.
Having not seen him for about seven or eight years, Xu Fan had risen abruptly.
His strength underwent massive changes almost every ten or fifteen days, and now he had even become a Heavenly Venerable powerhouse, able to fight and defeat a Banished Immortal.
It was truly… truly inconceivable!
Seeing so many people staring at him, Xu Fan couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty, but he still pretended to be at ease and said, “Elder Zhu, you don’t mind me calling you that, do you?
I can only say, the people of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm have too much imagination.”
Xu Fan chuckled lightly and said nonchalantly, “There’s nothing so mysterious about it, I simply had a stroke of luck.”
“A little over a year ago, I accidentally stumbled into a cave dwelling of an ancient Immortal Emperor and was fortunate enough to obtain some of his legacies and teachings.
I remember explaining this to Uncle Li, those Six Superior Martial Skills are the proof.”
Li Fuqiang nodded and said, “Right, those Six Superior Martial Skills were offerings from my noble nephew to the organization, and they are now stored in the Flame Dragon vault.”
With this corroboration, everyone began to believe it somewhat and couldn’t help feeling envious.
An old man with a childlike face and white hair stood out, his countenance amiable as he gently asked, “Protector Xu, can you tell us the name of this ancient Immortal Emperor?”
Everyone’s expression turned solemn.
The history of Sea Blue Star had been long, and at the beginning, nature’s spiritual energy was abundant, the cultivation thrived and did not fall short of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.
Naturally, many powerful beings were born, establishing sects and creating cultivation laws…
Unfortunately, with the changes of the world and the passage of time, most of these histories have been buried under the dust of history.
The known historical fact is that due to the astonishing battle that sealed the deities five thousand years ago, many powerhouses faded into obscurity; afterward, the cultivation civilization of Sea Blue Star began to decline.
Therefore, later generations of cultivators were filled with intense fantasies and longing for the world before ancient times.
For the remnants of ancient times, like cave dwellings and ruins, they were sought after eagerly, seen as invaluable treasures.
It seemed that obtaining an ancient heritage would enable one to “command the world and unite the rivers and lakes,” becoming an unparalleled figure.
Xu Fan did not recognize this old man, so he looked towards Li Fuqiang.
The latter smiled and helped with the introduction: “Protector Xu, this is the Grand Elder from the headquarters, Fang Zhenwu.”
Xu Fan was very clear about the basic structure of the Flame Dragon Organization.
Below the Dragon head were four Elders, and below them were the eight Chief Stewards.
The strength of the Elders was all in the Heavenly Venerable Realm, and the Grand Elder was no ordinary individual, being a pseudo-Dongxu, the organization’s second-in-command.
Once he comprehended the Earthly Law Aspect, he would indeed be a top-notch powerhouse in the Dongxu Realm.
Xu Fan pondered for a few seconds before slowly replying, “That elder gentleman had the title of The Five Directions Immortal Emperor.”
“Immortal Emperor?!”
Fang Zhenwu was instantly moved and exclaimed in astonishment, “To bear the title of Immortal Emperor, he must have been an extraordinary figure, probably having surpassed the Dongxu Realm long ago.
He must have been a renowned magnate in the ancient times.”
Zhu Yangyuan, however, couldn’t hide his frown.
He thought that claiming the title of “Immortal Emperor” was overly arrogant and somewhat ignorant.
In the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, no one dared to claim the title “Immortal Emperor.” Could this ancient power possibly be compared with the five strongest rulers?
He subconsciously wanted to object, but then he remembered how Xu Fan, this ordinary mortal from the lower realms, became so formidable after acquiring the heritage of the Five Directions Immortal Emperor, and he immediately discarded that thought.
What do you think?
