Chapter 2205: Just What Is He Doing?

The old man’s name was Guliang Ting. He was from the Guliang Clan, one of the seven ancient imperial clans in Brahma Land Great World. He was a third level quasi-Emperor.

Before the Emperor Stage, Guliang Ting's combat power would be considered at the peak of the world, so he was a powerhouse in many people’s eyes.

However, as soon as he boarded the Grand Universe Ark, Guliang Ting's heart trembled and he involuntarily gasped.

"Grandpa, that big dog is eating so happily."

The girl next to him pointed at Big Yellow who was wolfing down food in the distance. Her voice was crisp and revealed a sense of tenderness and youth.

Guliang Ting instantly scolded her, "Luoluo, don't be rude!"

As he said that, Guliang Ting bowed to the big dog respectfully as the girl stared on with wide eyes, "Junior Guliang Ting greets Senior."

Big Yellow spat out the bones in its mouth, glanced at Guliang Ting, and then continued to eat voraciously.

To the dog, a small fish like Guliang Ting was obviously not worth paying much attention to.

Guliang Ting was not annoyed at all by the dog’s disregard, and his expression remained respectful. When he accidentally glanced at Xia Zhi who was sitting opposite Big Yellow, he began trembling again, and his originally bent figure became even lower...

The girl Luoluo was dumbfounded when she saw all of this. She was originally lively and innocent, but she suddenly became timid and dared not even breathe too loudly.

In her heart, her grandfather was already an extremely powerful figure, and people always treated him cautiously and respectfully wherever he went.

Now, it was the complete opposite!

Luoluo immediately realized that the man, woman, and dog on this ship were probably all extremely extraordinary experts.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't be so reserved. Feel free to sit down and relax."

Lin Xun walked into the cabin, took out some rare fruits and handed them to the girl who had become extremely reserved, and said with a smile, "Miss, try these fruits, they taste very good."

Luoluo looked at her grandfather, and Guliang Ting hurriedly said, "Luoluo, an elder’s gift cannot be refused. Hurry up and thank this senior."

Luoluo took the fruits with both hands, and then bowed her head obediently, "Thank you... Senior, big brother."

Big Yellow guffawed, "This girl is interesting."

Guliang Ting glared at Luoluo, "A senior is a senior, why are you also calling him big brother..."

Lin Xun interrupted with a smile, "It's just a form of address, no need to scare the girl."

Guliang Ting breathed a sigh of relief. Through this interaction he now knew that the young man in front of him who had an unfathomable strength was not someone who was difficult to approach.

Next, Lin Xun did not hide his curiosity and began to ask the old man about his questions related to the Luminous King Festival.

Although Guliang Ting felt it was strange, he still told him everything he knew.

The descendents of the Imperial Kong Clan were also known as the Luminous King’s lineage. It was rumored that before their ancestor, Demon-Beast Emperor Dutian, had certified his dao as an Emperor, he had a great connection with Buddhism and was also called the Luminous Peacock King.

Every thousand years, the Imperial Kong Clan would hold the Luminous King Festival. The purpose was to not only worship their ancestor, but also take the opportunity to select an ‘imperial son’ from the clan.

Guliang Ting explained, "The imperial son of the Imperial Kong Clan used to be Kong Zhao, who had been admitted to the Primordial Dao Court as a disciple. He was extremely talented and had an unparalleled background. He was regarded as a good seedling with the best hope of becoming an Emperor within the clan. However, who would have thought that he would be killed by Lin Xun, a disciple of Fangchun Mountain, in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone a few years ago?"

There was a trace of emotion in his voice as he described all of this.

Luoluo ate a spiritual fruit while interjecting crisply, "You mean Emperor Daoyuan! He’s the first supreme Emperor to be certified in the Ancient Nebula Road after nearly a hundred thousand years."

Her voice was full of admiration, and her large, beautiful eyes were shining.

Guliang Ting became embarrassed and shouted, "You have no right to interrupt when adults are talking!"

Then he said to Lin Xun, "Please don’t take offense, my granddaughter is young and ignorant, and she speaks without restraint."

In the current Ancient Nebula Road, Emperor Daoyuan was a feared existence. Although his rise had caused a sensation in the world, no one dared to talk about him in front of strangers, for fear of eliciting some unnecessary misunderstandings, especially from the forces under Heavenly Emperor Shi.

"It's okay." Lin Xun smiled, "Speaking of Emperor Daoyuan, the world's evaluation of him now...is not too good, am I right?"

Guliang Ting hesitated for a moment, but in the end he still sighed and gave his opinion, "In the final analysis, many believe that Emperor Daoyuan has committed too many sins, which makes many ancient dao lineages in the Ancient Nebula Road hate him and regard him as a calamitous terror."

After a pause, he continued, "But no one can deny that Emperor Daoyuan is indeed an unparalleled legend. His deeds have long been spread all over the world. Now, many young cultivators admire Emperor Daoyuan from the bottom of their hearts."

"Just like me." Luoluo interrupted, "In my heart, Emperor Daoyuan is the number one genius in the world, undisputed and unparalleled, and no one in the world can compete with him."

Lin Xun was startled and couldn't help from laughing.

It was truly a refreshing experience to hear others discuss him like this.

Guliang Ting glared at Luoluo fiercely, as if blaming her for being too talkative.

The Grand Universe Ark was very fast. In just half a day, it had entered the territory covered by the Tianhui Mountains.

The Tianhui Mountains were considered the number one mountain range in Brahma Land Great World and were regarded as a miraculous place by countless cultivators.

This was also the place where the Imperial Kong Clan was entrenched.

Before they arrived they could see from afar that there were many dazzling arcs of light whistling towards the Tianhui Mountains from all directions.

Some were on magical weapons, some were riding spiritual birds or flying beasts, and some were sitting in treasure ships like Lin Xun… The crowds there were densely packed, and it made for a spectacular sight.

According to Guliang Ting, not only did the major forces in Brahma Land Great World come with generous gifts, but there were also representatives from many ancient sects in the Great Primordial Chao World and other worlds. All had come to partake in the Luminous King Festival.

This clearly illustrated how powerful the Imperial Kong Clan was.

"Let's say part for now."

Outside Tianhui City, Lin Xun stored the Grand Universe Ark and said his farewells to Guliang Ting and Luoluo.

"Fellow Daoist, you can't go to the Luminous King Festival without an invitation. Why don't you come with me?" Guliang Ting couldn't help asking.

"No need. It's fine for us to have met in passing. However, if I really went with you, it would only bring undue trouble to you two," Lin Xun refused with a smile. Then, he took Xia Zhi and Big Yellow with him and soon disappeared.

"Bring trouble to us?"

Luoluo was startled and very confused by that cryptic remark.

Guliang Ting's expression shifted slightly as he had realized that something was off.

Could it be that this group has come to cause trouble for the Imperial Kong Clan?

If so, then they are really too bold!

"Let's go, let's go and take a look."

Guliang Ting grabbed Luoluo and hurriedly rushed towards the Tianhui Mountains in the distance.

…

The Tianhui Mountains were majestic and magnificent with an extraordinary beauty. There were many peaks scattered in a row, all bathed in divine rain.

The Luminous King Festival, which had attracted people from all directions to witness the ceremony, was going to be held at midday in front of the gate before the Tianhui Mountains.

At this moment, an ancient altar that was over a thousand meters long stood there. The area next to it was already crowded with important people from major forces.

Ordinary individuals were not able to get close at all.

Even if someone was powerful and famous within their local area, without an invitation from the Imperial Kong Clan, they couldn't even think of getting close to this area.

"Look, that's Battle Emperor Xuexing, a supreme elder from the Primordial Dao Court!"

"Sword Emperor Qilong of Purple Cloud Mountain is here too..."

"Look over there, the Kun and Xu Clans, both of which are primeval imperial clans, have also sent Emperors to observe the ceremony!"

There were discussions ongoing everywhere, and many people were amazed. The Imperial Kong Clan's lineup was really too big!

A ceremony to worship their ancestor and select their imperial son was actually this grand. In fact, many Emperors had come in person to participate, making it obvious that this was considered a top-notch event in the world.

The altar that was over a thousand yards long was already filled with all kinds of rare treasures that were dazzling and luminous. They were all the valuable gifts that were presented by those who had come to watch the ceremony. The value of each treasure was astounding and they had been piled up into a small mountain.

At the front of the altar, there stood a group of important figures from the Imperial Kong Clan, as well as a young man with great talents who was in high spirits. He had sword-like eyebrows and glittering eyes that paired well with an extremely outstanding appearance.

Seeing this grandiose array, the young man couldn't help but show a hint of pride.

His name was Kong Xian, and it was long confirmed that he was going to be the new imperial son.

Next to Kong Xian was a black-haired man in a purple robe with a dignified demeanor and a supreme aura. He was the seventh elder of the Imperial Kong Clan, Burning Snow Sword Emperor.

This time, he was going to be personally presiding over the Luminous King Festival.

Although he looked reserved at this moment, the pride in his eyes could not be hidden.

Burning Snow Sword Emperor stated slowly, "Kong Xian, are you seeing all of this? This is the influence of our Imperial Kong Clan. All the forces in the world that are friendly with our Imperial Kong Clan have sent people to watch the ceremony!"

Kong Xian was also very excited. This was the first time he had experienced such a grand event, and he felt particularly honored and proud.

"However, you should remember how the last imperial son, Kong Zhao, died!" Burning Snow Sword Emperor’s voice suddenly became low and cold, "As long as Lin Daoyuan is alive, he will be a great thorn in our Imperial Kong Clan’s side. This blood feud cannot be forgotten!"

Kong Xian's eyes flickered, and the joy in his heart was instantly replaced by a heavy pressure. Lin Daoyuan, the world-famous Emperor Daoyuan!

How could he not know of him?

Suddenly, someone asked, "Brother Burning Snow, speaking of this Lin Daoyuan, he has a deep seated feud with the Imperial Kong Clan. Now, no one in the world knows whether he is dead or alive. Brother Burning Snow, do you think that if he is still alive he will come to cause trouble?"

This question attracted the attention of other big figures nearby, and they all looked at Burning Snow Sword Emperor.

In the current Ancient Nebula Road, Emperor Daoyuan Lin Xun was the most popular topic. There were always people talking about him everywhere.

Burning Snow Sword Emperor frowned, and then he said proudly, "If this remnant of Fangchun Mountain is really alive, then my Imperial Kong Clan will never forgive him!"

After a pause, he put his hands behind his back, scanned the whole area, and said in a more indifferent tone, "I actually wish he dared to show up here, but the key is, does he…dare?"

His voice was full of arrogance.

This was Brahma Land Great World, the territory of the Imperial Kong Clan! Which Emperor in the world would dare to come here and act wildly?

If so, were they tired of living?
