Chapter 47 - Qin Ershi’s Invitation, The Gathering of Geniuses!

“Congratulations, Holy Son, on making another step forward and entering the Great Master Realm!” Yan Ruyu approached with a smile, her eyes alluring and her face full of joy: “With the Holy Son being so extraordinary, how can I ever catch up with you?”

“I thought I could keep pace with the Holy Son, but now it seems the gap is only widening! There’s hardly anyone in the world who can match the Holy Son’s talent!” This wasn’t mere flattery from Yan Ruyu, as Jiang Chen’s progress was incredibly rapid.

Reaching the Great Master Realm before the age of twenty was something unheard of in history, even surpassing ancient emperors! Generally, reaching the Great Master Realm by the age of one hundred was considered the mark of a peerless genius.

Jiang Chen, while holding Yan Ruyu’s cheek and stretching it into a round shape, chuckled, “The Great Master Realm is nothing special! And you shouldn’t underestimate the talents of this generation. They are formidable!”

“Though none are quite like me, there are those who have reached the Great Master Realm by the age of thirty. Moreover, how could you fall behind when I am here?”

To prepare for the upcoming Supreme Level slack-off, Jiang Chen planned to properly cultivate Yan Ruyu. She, who was already talented enough to be the saintess of the All Pleasure Sect, had now been further enhanced by the Innate Yin body, making her potential almost unimaginable.

‘If she’s well-cultivated, even though she may not reach my level, she won’t be far behind.’

“Only you, Holy Son, could downplay reaching the Great Master Realm like this,” Yan Ruyu said, her face covered in disbelief. Many aspire to reach the Great Master Realm, spending their entire lives without even glimpsing its vista.

“Others would announce it to the world if they were in your place. Only you, Holy Son, could remain so composed.”

“It’s just a process! The process isn’t important; the outcome is what truly matters. If one cannot become an emperor, everything else is in vain.”

“Which do you think is better, the outcome of the Eternal Emperor or the Limitless Sage? The Eternal Emperor was unknown for thousands of years, then against all odds became an emperor, shining through the ages. The Limitless Sage was known to all, feared and revered, but ultimately fell to the Eternal Emperor. Now, few remember him, while the Eternal Emperor is known to all.”

“Which is better?” Jiang Chen spoke with a smile. Although reaching the Great Master Realm at his age was astonishing, his mentality remained unchanged. For him, anything short of becoming a Great Emperor would be in vain.

“Why didn’t the Holy Son choose to follow the path of the Primordial Great Emperor?” Yan Ruyu asked with a playful smile, instead of directly answering.

The Primordial Great Emperor was a supreme emperor of the human race and the founder of the Primordial Holy Land. Unlike the Eternal Emperor, the Primordial Great Emperor was dazzling from the start, recognized as an unparalleled genius until the end, invincible in his era.

Every genius and prodigy of that time paled in comparison to the Primordial Great Emperor. Many eventually had their paths broken, fading into obscurity. Others sealed their divine essence to avoid confrontation with him, hoping to attain enlightenment in future eras.

The Primordial Great Emperor was a nightmare for countless people, be they enemies or allies. Anyone aspiring to reach the highest realms would pale upon hearing his name.

“If I had a choice, naturally I would choose the Primordial Great Emperor,” Jiang Chen said softly. “And I believe I can be like him. But this doesn’t mean we should underestimate others.”

Jiang Chen maintained his composure, knowing that there were numerous prodigies in this era yet to reveal themselves. The renowned geniuses of today might fade away, with only a few enduring to the end.

“Which thirty-year-old Great Master are you referring to? I haven’t heard of anyone reaching that realm at such an age,” inquired Yan Ruyu.

“There are quite a few who have achieved this,” Jiang Chen replied. “One of them is already well-known – Qin Ershi.”

“This individual, who prides himself as comparable to the Ancestral Dragon of the Great Qin, possesses exceptional talent, worthy of the name ‘Qin Ershi.\'”

Yan Ruyu expressed surprise, having heard rumors that Qin Ershi had only recently broken through to the Life-Death Realm. She hadn’t expected him to be concealing his true Great Master Realm strength.

As they were discussing, Wang Hu respectfully entered and said, “Holy Son, Qin Ershi of the Great Qin Dynasty has sent an invitation, inquiring if the Holy Son wishes to participate.”

“Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. What’s the matter?” Jiang Chen inquired.

“Qin Ershi is hosting a gathering of prodigies, inviting heroes from all over. Most of the top geniuses have been invited, including several formidable ones from various clans and even a few divine children from the ancient royal clans. It seems Qin Ershi has invited the Holy Son, likely aiming to increase the prestige of the gathering,” explained Wang Hu.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and then replied, “Tell them, I’ll go.”

Normally, Jiang Chen wouldn’t bother with such a gathering of prodigies. However, he suddenly remembered that there were a few things within the Great Qin Dynasty’s territory he wanted. These were opportunities originally meant for Dugu Yun, which Jiang Chen planned to use for Yan Ruyu to boost her growth significantly.

With the Supreme Palace event approaching, and Jiang Chen unable to refuse attendance, he planned to empower Yan Ruyu to step forward and sweep through those geniuses, potentially earning him the rewards for slacking off.

“It seems the news of the Holy Son’s breakthrough has spread,” commented Yan Ruyu with a smile. “Qin Ershi can’t sit still anymore. He probably wants to gauge how far the Holy Son has progressed.”

“The grand scale of Qin Ershi’s gathering isn’t just about me. He probably wants to assess the depths of various geniuses attending, like those divine children from the ancient royal clans. It’s uncertain if the Holy Son of the Ye family will attend, but if he does, it could be quite interesting,” Jiang Chen said calmly.

The Holy Son of the Ye family, one of the three great geniuses of the human race, was the most mysterious, having not appeared for many years and remaining in seclusion. In the original story, they appeared much later, and Jiang Chen wondered if his actions might prompt an earlier emergence. If so, that would indeed make things more interesting.
