Upon hearing Cao Ya's words, Jiang Taixu was stunned on the spot, and then quite astonished.
The Heavenly Emperor's son is the biological son of an ancient emperor, possessing extraordinary bloodline. Before his birth, he received nourishment and assistance from a supreme treasure like the Eye of Creation. Even if he cannot become an emperor in the future, he will definitely achieve enlightenment in an unconventional way.
Because the imperial sons and daughters of the ancient Jiang family were all like this.
The children of emperors from powerful forces such as the Ancient Ji Family, the Great Xia Dynasty, and the Nine Li Divine Dynasty are also like this; imperial blood is both a constraint and a treasure.
The Emperor's son has such an unprecedented opportunity; if we don't take it seriously, it's hard to say what the future holds for him.
Therefore, Jiang Taixu was quite puzzled by Cao Ya's words. Even if Cao Ya, the Great Sage, was several realms ahead of the Heavenly Emperor's Son, he should not have ignored the Heavenly Emperor's Son so much. It was highly possible for someone with such bloodline talent to surpass the Great Sage, become a Quasi-Emperor, or become an unconventional Daoist.
Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor's son is hostile to the human race. As long as he does not die young, he will surely become a great enemy of the human race in the future.
"As far as I know, the Heavenly Emperor's son has almost been abandoned by the Immortal Emperor. With his temperament, let alone achieving enlightenment through unorthodox means, it would be very difficult for him to even become a saint," Cao Ya said. Compared to the Heavenly Emperor's son, the Five-Colored Divine Phoenix, who will be born in the future and is the Immortal Emperor's youngest son, is much more worthy of our attention.
Has the Crown Prince been abandoned?
Jiang Taixu was stunned for a moment, then greatly astonished, and said:
"Great Sage Cao Ya, you actually know even such a secret?!"
It's no wonder he acted this way. The secrets Cao Ya mentioned were among the most important in the world. Even the ancient races that served the Undying Emperor, or even the Eight Divine Generals who followed the Undying Emperor, probably didn't know these secrets. Where did Cao Ya learn such secrets?
The more Jiang Taixu interacted with Cao Ya, the more he could sense that Cao Ya had an unparalleled understanding of all things, past and present, as if he could read the lines on the palm of his hand.
Even though he is the God King of an ancient family with an intelligence system passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, he still seems to be no match for Cao Ya.
Has the Great Sage Cao Ya truly been sealed away in Purple Mountain for over two hundred thousand years? Could it be that he has unearthed all the secrets of Purple Mountain...?
Jiang Taixu suddenly realized that although they had both been trapped in Zishan for a long time, he was simply trapped, while Cao Ya Dasheng seemed to have gained a lot.
"Heh, sure enough, wherever the Heavenly Emperor goes, there are many cultivators of the Eight Divine Generals." Cao Ya chuckled. He thought to himself that the Heavenly Emperor must have been quite frightened during his last trip to the Divine Valley. Since then, he has summoned a group of Eight Divine Generals to accompany him on every trip to ensure his safety.
"There are also sages." Jiang Taixu murmured, also noticing that the ancient ancestral kings who followed the Heavenly Emperor were all concealing their figures and had not shown themselves directly.
As for the followers of Immortal One, Immortal Two, and Immortal Three, they appeared and stood behind the Heavenly Emperor Prince, accompanying him to Yaochi.
"What a grand display." Cao Ya curled his lips, not having time to care about a prince of the Heavenly Emperor. He then went to observe the surrounding void and suddenly realized that some unfamiliar auras were faintly emerging. Some of these auras even made him take them seriously.
“Great Sage!” Cao Ya said solemnly. At this moment, among the myriad races of the ancient times, a Great Sage has quietly appeared outside the Jade Pool, but has not yet made a public appearance, seemingly waiting for something.
“An ancient imperial weapon has arrived!” Compared to Cao Ya, Jiang Taixu’s expression was more solemn, because the Hengyu Furnace he carried with him trembled slightly, conveying a message that it had discovered other imperial weapons.
“As expected.” Cao Ya nodded and said, “The Great Saint of the Primordial Royal Family probably came with an ancient royal weapon as well.”
"Besides the Hengyu Furnace, the Western Emperor Tower, and the Devouring Demon Jar, our human race should also possess the Supreme Emperor Sword, the Void Mirror, and the Nine Li Diagram. However, the latter three supreme imperial weapons are hidden in the shadows and have not yet revealed their divine power." Jiang Taixu received the message from the Hengyu Furnace, then shook his head. Weren't he and Cao Ya also hiding in the shadows?
"Six supreme imperial weapons?" Cao Ya pondered, then asked, "How many ancient imperial weapons did you get?"
“Many!” Jiang Taixu said solemnly, “The Qilin Ancient Staff of Fire Qilin Cave, the Golden Mace of Golden Cave, the Ten Thousand Dragon Bell of Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, the Divine Silkworm Immortal Robe of Divine Silkworm Ridge, as well as the ancient imperial weapons of the White Tiger Royal Family, the Primordial Lake, the lineage of the Lord of Reincarnation, and the lineage of the Beast God, have all appeared.”
“Shencan Ridge should not make a move.” Cao Ya shook his head and said with a slightly gloomy face, “But the Primordial Myriad Races still have seven Ancient Emperor Weapons, one more than our six Extreme Emperor Weapons.”
"Among the human race, many forces have a bottom line and a conscience. At such a critical juncture, they will step forward without hesitation to protect the human race. But there are also some who only care about their own interests and do not care about the overall situation of the human race," Jiang Taixu sighed.
If all the major human forces mobilized, how could there only be six supreme imperial weapons?
Of course, the ancient royal family was not a monolithic entity; otherwise, there would be more than seven ancient royal weapons here.
Cao Ya looked quite serious, sensing that the situation was tricky.
Because the ancient races all sent out Great Saints who wielded ancient imperial weapons, while the human race not only lacked one Supreme Emperor Weapon, but also mostly consisted of Immortal Fourth Saints or Immortal Fifth Saint Kings. So far, only he is an Immortal Sixth Great Saint.
In this comparison, the human race is indeed at a great disadvantage.
Gai Jiuyou is definitely paying attention to the Yaochi Grand Gathering. He will appear when necessary, which could increase the strength of our human race. However... Gai Jiuyou has not yet attained Dao... Moreover, there are also immortal beings and monsters at the Quasi-Emperor level among the ancient races... and there is also the Undying Heavenly Blade...
When I destroyed the Valley of Gods, I sensed the Undying Heavenly Blade and rescued the Heavenly Emperor's son...
Cao Ya frowned. In the era when the ancient emperors passed away, the supreme beings of the forbidden zones had not yet appeared. Therefore, the ancient emperor weapons and the ultimate imperial weapons were the strongest things in the universe. Each additional weapon would suppress the other and gain the upper hand.
Moreover, such supreme treasures require an immense amount of vital energy, which even the sixth-level Immortal Saint finds strenuous and cannot be activated for extended periods. For the fourth-level Immortal Saint or the fifth-level Immortal Saint King, it would undoubtedly be even more difficult.
In comparison, the human race seems to be in a much more difficult situation.
Even Cao Ya, who was originally quite calm, couldn't help but have his face darken.
“Relying on the Hengyu Furnace, we sensed those powerful individuals who possessed Emperor-level and Imperial-level weapons. Similarly, they also became aware of our existence,” Jiang Taixu said.
Cao Ya nodded, racking his brains for a solution, but he couldn't find a way to break the deadlock.
Those who could come have certainly come, and those who couldn't come won't come no matter what. If things fall apart, we'll only create another major enemy, which will be even more detrimental to the overall situation.

As dusk fell, a commotion arose outside the Jade Pool. Although the divine bell did not ring, many people flocked there, eager to see what was happening.
The Emperor's son walked in, appearing very peaceful, but with each step he took, he seemed to be in harmony with heaven and earth, possessing a mysterious rhythm.
This was an exceptionally handsome man, whose appearance was enough to make any woman in the world envious. He was truly peerless in his beauty, his entire body sparkling and shimmering with rosy light. He was accompanied by a group of eight divine generals and several old servants who served as his personal guards.
During the last trip to the Divine Valley, the Heavenly Emperor did not allow the Eight Divine Generals to accompany him. As a result, he happened to encounter the Great Sage of the Human Race, Cao Ya, who launched an attack. He almost died under the Devouring Demon Jar.
However, after the Immortal Heavenly Blade rescued the Heavenly Prince, it also disappeared without a trace, and the Heavenly Prince could not find it.
But for the eight divine generals and many ancient races, it was an exciting event.
It's quite simple. Although the Undying Emperor was the supreme deity revered by all races in the ancient times, his existence was far too ancient, dating back to the early days of the ancient era. To the ancient races, the Emperor was gone, and the Heavenly Blade was nowhere to be seen. Even if they still held some respect for him, it wasn't particularly strong.
Even when the Undying Heavenly Blade reappeared, even if it was only for a fleeting moment, its effect was still enough to make many ancient clans revere and obey the Heavenly Emperor's Son.
Even ancient royal families must take this seriously.
