125: Chapter 125 Ninefold Armor! Arrival at the Imperial Capital, Dongzhou City!

Seeing that Ye Wushang and Ye Chen no longer declined, Jiang Wuji nodded with satisfaction.

When he took out those two pieces of Earth Rank top-grade armor, he had never intended to take them back.

Admittedly, Earth Rank top-grade armor was indeed extremely precious; the entire Mountain River Holy Land only possessed a mere five pieces.

But compared to those two pieces of Earth Rank top-grade armor, what he cared about more was the next generation of pillars for his Mountain River Holy Land.

Given Ye Chen's talent, he would surely reach a height in the future that he could not even imagine.

His limits would not be confined to the mere North Heaven Province; he was destined to go to a much broader world.

Their Mountain River Holy Land was merely one stop along Ye Chen's journey, only able to hitch a ride for a stretch of the way.

Only Ye Wushang was the true pillar of the next generation for their Mountain River Holy Land.

Ye Chen was the future backer of their Mountain River Holy Land, while Ye Wushang was the future leader of their Mountain River Holy Land.

Regardless of whether it was Ye Chen or Ye Wushang, neither of them could suffer even the slightest bit of harm!

At this moment, Xu Gu frowned slightly, and a low voice resounded within the assembly hall.

"However, Grand Elder, please be sure to act with caution during this trip to the Imperial Capital."

"I always feel that that old fellow from the Imperial family has ill intentions; after all, the Imperial Capital is their territory."

"Even though we have formed an alliance with the Wanxiang Holy Land, we must not be the least bit careless!"

Many Manifest Saint Realm true transmission Elders heard these words and nodded in agreement.

"That is correct, please be sure to act with caution on this trip to the Imperial Capital, Grand Elder!"

Until now, their Mountain River Holy Land only had one Grand Elder in the Saint Realm overseeing things.

If the Grand Elder were to suffer any mishap, their Mountain River Holy Land would truly fall to rock bottom.

Let alone maintaining the status of the Four Great Holy Lands, they wouldn't even be able to keep the name of a Holy Land!

Jiang Wuji glanced at everyone and smiled relaxedly.

"I am naturally aware of this, and I have long been prepared."

"Previously, I had already communicated with that old fellow from the Wanxiang Holy Land."

"Since we have already formed an alliance, we will naturally advance hand in hand on this trip to the Imperial Capital."

"With that old fellow from the Wanxiang Holy Land and me joining forces, the Imperial family will at most dare to probe us, they will not dare to truly start a war."

"After all, my Mountain River Holy Land and the Wanxiang Holy Land are not made of mud, to be bullied by others at will!"

As his voice fell, Xu Gu and the many true transmission Elders nodded in relief.

"The Grand Elder is wise!"

It was good that the Grand Elder was prepared; they were just afraid that the Grand Elder would be overconfident.

That was the Imperial family of their East State Empire, the Gu family, which had two Saint Realm powerhouses overseeing it.

Within the vast East State Empire, no Sect or aristocratic family dared to underestimate it!

Jiang Wuji glanced at everyone again, the smile on his face fading, and he said solemnly.

"Alright, I have already explained everything that needed to be explained, and it is time to set off for the Imperial Capital."

"Remember, after the three of us leave, immediately activate the Sect Protection Array; do not be afraid of wasting Spirit Stones."

As he spoke, he stood up and waved his hand gently toward the space beside him.

"Rip!"

In an instant, a massive spatial rift was torn open, revealing the black Void Realm inside.

Ye Chen and Ye Wushang saw this, and also stood up, walking to Jiang Wuji's side to stand.

Xu Gu and the many true transmission Elders took a deep breath and simultaneously bowed to the three of them, Jiang Wuji.

"May this trip spread the prestige of our Mountain River Holy Land!"

Jiang Wuji smiled, flicked his sleeves, wrapped Ye Chen and Ye Wushang in his power, and disappeared into the spatial rift.

"Hum!"

Under the operation of the laws of heaven and earth, the spatial rift slowly healed until it was completely sealed.

Xu Gu and the many true transmission Elders saw this scene and nodded to one another.

Without the slightest hesitation, they all tore through space and left the assembly hall.

The Grand Elder had already left with the strongest Prodigy of their Mountain River Holy Land.

Now it was time for them to do their part and contribute to the Mountain River Holy Land.

Not long after, the Mountain River Holy Land sent out various messages to the Mountain River Holy Land Disciples who were outside.

All the information in the messages was identical; it was an emergency recall for all Holy Land Disciples.

The Mountain River Holy Land Disciples who received the messages, regardless of where they were in the East State Empire, did not hesitate and immediately rushed back.

While these messages were being sent out, a massive protective barrier slowly condensed around the Mountain River Holy Land.

The Sect Protection Array was activated without any warning; people were only allowed in, not out!

The Mountain River Holy Land Disciples and powerhouses who were celebrating saw this, and although they were surprised, they did not pay too much attention to it.

They knew that the activation of the Sect Protection Array was likely because the North Heaven Province Assembly was about to begin.

It was just that they couldn't leave the Holy Land for a few days, which was no big deal to them.

Compared to this, what they cared about more now was celebrating the fact that their Mountain River Holy Land was gradually moving toward glory!

It was not just the Mountain River Holy Land that was like this; the same scene was also taking place in the Wanxiang Holy Land elsewhere.

A massive protective barrier had appeared around the four corners of the Wanxiang Holy Land, though it was unknown when it had emerged.

There were also messages flying out from the Wanxiang Holy Land, sent to various places in the East State Empire.

The powerhouses from various Sects and aristocratic families who noticed this abnormal situation all understood a little in their hearts.

The North Heaven Province Assembly was about to begin, and at this critical juncture, the Wanxiang Holy Land and the Mountain River Holy Land had even formed an alliance.

This had caused the ruler of their East State Empire, Gu Yuan, to personally go to the two Holy Lands to invite them to the Imperial Capital for a discussion.

Under these circumstances, it was understandable that the Wanxiang Holy Land and the Mountain River Holy Land were so cautious.

After all, what they were facing were the other two Holy Lands and the Imperial Gu family!

The sky of their East State Empire had finally begun to change, and the North Heaven Province would also stir up new conflicts.

It could be foreseen that the upcoming North Heaven Province Assembly would attract the attention of everyone in the entire North Heaven Province.

As for what the landscape of the North Heaven Province would be like in the next ten years, it would all depend on the North Heaven Province Assembly!

In the Void Realm.

Ye Chen and Ye Wushang were speeding along under the guidance of Jiang Wuji.

Feeling the Void Realm constantly being left behind, Ye Chen's expression was as calm as an ancient well.

In terms of speed alone, he could now reach this level of speed as well.

His Star God Shattered Shadow was no joke; with the accumulation and eruption of Chaotic Spiritual Power, he could obtain extreme speed far exceeding his cultivation level.

The only thing he lacked compared to a true Saint Realm powerhouse now was the gap in Divine Soul cultivation.

But he had the Demon God Transformation of the Immortal Demon Transformation, which could immunize him against all Divine Soul attacks.

This shortcoming had also been completely compensated for; he truly possessed the power to fight a Saint Realm powerhouse!

Beside him, Ye Wushang took out the Earth Rank top-grade armor, performed the master-recognition, and began to close his eyes to nurture it with his Qi.

The Earth Rank top-grade armor was of too high a grade; with his cultivation, he simply could not fully control it.

The only thing he could do was use more time to nurture it and bring himself closer to the armor.

Only in this way could he unleash more powerful might when activating the Earth Rank top-grade armor!

As for Ye Chen's Earth Rank top-grade armor, the master-recognition had already been completed earlier.

Inside his Dantian, he possessed a true Emperor Weapon.

Compared to that Emperor Weapon, the futu sword, this Earth Rank top-grade armor, called the Nine-Layer Imperial Armor, was far inferior.

It had only just completed master-recognition, yet it was already obedient and completely under his control.

Ye Chen knew that it was because the Emperor's might of the futu sword had suppressed and intimidated it.

Otherwise, with his current cultivation, wanting to fully master it would have required spending quite some effort!

At one moment, Jiang Wuji, who had been traveling without saying a word, revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth and spoke indifferently.

"Two little ones, we have arrived!"

"Boom!"

Before his voice had faded, the Void Realm was smashed open, revealing the scene outside.

A massive city, filled with endless majesty and incomparable grandeur, came into view.

On the city wall, a plaque was adorned with several vigorous and cursive characters, full of the charm of the Dao.

East State City!
