Cao Ya and his group paid attention, and later other ancient royal families arrived, such as Blood Phoenix Mountain, Primitive Lake, Golden Cave, and Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
These are all ancient royal families, with illustrious and incomparably noble status. Their ancestors all had ancient emperors who were unparalleled in an era of antiquity.
Even though the ancestral kings of the ancient royal families, who were at least at the level of Immortal Saints, had not yet made a move, many of their powerful members were still worthy of the ringing of the Jade Pool Divine Bell. The leaders of the major sects and the experts among the ancient beings all had to personally come out to greet them.
In contrast, the human race's situation is quite awkward.
Now, only the Barbarian King can still keep the situation in check; there are no other Immortal Three Dao Slayer Kings.
As for the Saint Lords at the second level of Immortal Realm, it's fine for them to flaunt their power on ordinary days, but in such a grand event, they seem rather ordinary. Many young people have already cultivated to the second level of Immortal Realm, and some, like Ye Fan, have even reached the peak of the second level.
Of course, so far, no one at the level of the Four Immortal Saints or above has made an appearance.
However, both Cao Ya and Jiang Taixu could sense that deep within the void outside Yaochi, there existed some life forms with profound and terrifying auras.
Cao Ya and Jiang Taixu noticed them, but those people did not sense them in return.
Because Cao Ya and Jiang Taixu's cultivation was profound, they were far beyond the reach of ordinary saints. Cao Ya's combat power was equivalent to the high level of the sixth-level immortal saint. Not to mention that, even Jiang Taixu, who proved his Dao in an era that did not allow sainthood, still lived a second life. His cultivation was undoubtedly among the top experts of the fourth-level immortal saints, and he was incredibly powerful.
If someone were to actively trigger the divine forbidden domain, or even be able to reverse the course and attack a Saint King at the fifth level of the Immortal Realm, it is not entirely impossible.
Jiang Taixu, the white-robed god-king, also possessed an unconventional aptitude and understanding for achieving enlightenment. As for his Dao heart, the numerous trials and tribulations he endured made it as firm as iron.
"On this Beidou Burial Emperor Star, the human race still needs time," Jiang Taixu murmured.
There's no other reason than that the world had just undergone a change, allowing the attainment of sainthood. Many of the great cultivators that the human race had accumulated before needed to adapt before they began to work towards sainthood.
The ancient races are different. Those ancestral kings became saints directly in the ancient era and have been sealed in the divine source ever since. They have come to the golden age predicted by the emperors. Ancient legends and the path to immortality that has always only appeared in mythology will also emerge in this golden age.
Cao Ya glanced around and secretly shook his head.
The morale of the human cultivators was too low and they lacked confidence, making them appear weaker than the ancient races and at a clear disadvantage.
Of course, Cao Ya also knew this, and they couldn't be blamed.
Because there were very few great human cultivators who arrived, only the Barbarian King of the Southern Ridge Barbarian Clan, the divine bell rang and all the powerful figures came out to greet him. On the other hand, when the ancient royal family arrived, all the heroes came out to greet them. Some powerful ancient royal families also had a group of experts to greet them. The sound of the Yaochi Divine Bell resounded through the sky.
This was only the day before the conference, and the situation was already so difficult. Tomorrow, when the grand gathering of all races officially begins, it is easy to imagine that some ancient great races, such as the royal family and the royal family, will definitely have their ancestral kings personally come to the Yaochi Holy Land.
However, how many saints does the human race have in this era?
"Only Cao Ya Dasheng alone."
"That's enough! Great Sage, one of you is enough to suppress the four seas and eight wastelands and intimidate everything."
"Hehe, you're overthinking it. That's the Great Sage, not the Great Emperor!"
"No matter what, the Great Sage is definitely stronger than a Sage or a Sage King, and by a great deal!"
Many humans were discussing this, trying to cover up their current predicament. They felt utterly insecure, as if they couldn't hold their heads up high, feeling inferior and unable to look directly at the ancient beings.
"As far as I know, there are still quite a few human saints on the Big Dipper," Jiang Taixu transmitted his voice. "There are saints like those from the Tianxuan Ancient Holy Land, the Taixuan Sect, and even among the Thirteen Great Bandits and the Assassin Dynasty, there are saint-level experts."
“In the Central Plains, Southern Ridge, Western Desert, and Northern Plains, among those ancient holy lands and aristocratic families, as well as those great sects and powerful clans, and even some independent cultivator groups, saints have also emerged. However, they have not made public appearances, so it is difficult for outsiders to know about them.”
Upon hearing Jiang Taixu's telepathic message, Cao Ya nodded and replied:
“I also know some top-tier super cultivators, but that person probably won’t act rashly.”
"A super cultivator? Who is it?" Jiang Taixu asked. To be praised like this by a Great Sage, that person must be no weakling, at least a Great Sage.
Although Jiang Taixu knew many hidden Saint-level experts, most of them were Immortal Fourth Saints, and occasionally there were Immortal Fifth Saint Kings. As for Immortal Sixth Saints, so far he only knew of Immortal Sixth Saints Cao Ya and the Old Madman Saint of Tianxuan Ancient Holy Land.
“He’s a very powerful being. As soon as he appears, you’ll definitely think of his name,” Cao Ya said with a smile via telepathy.
He was referring to Gai Jiuyou, an ancient being from ten thousand years ago, who was extremely powerful. If it weren't for the fact that the Azure Emperor's Dao Law still existed, suppressing all paths and not allowing future generations to become emperors, Gai Jiuyou's strength would certainly have enabled him to defy the heavens and become an emperor in this post-ancient era.
However, reality has no hypotheticals. The fact is that the Azure Emperor had not been gone long—in fact, he was in the desolate tower, attempting to evolve the Immortal Realm and become an immortal in the mortal world by his own power—the residual power of the Emperor's Way was still there. No matter how talented Jiu You was, he could not become an Emperor.
At this point, Gai Jiuyou was probably on the verge of death, so he would not easily make a move.
With the arrival of a great era, the path to immortality will begin. If a dark upheaval breaks out, Gai Jiuyou will have to preserve his remaining body to fight against the supreme beings of the forbidden zones.
For a moment, Jiang Taixu couldn't figure out who Cao Ya was talking about. At the same time, he was curious: Cao Ya was an ancient saint from the era of the Devouring Emperor. How could he know so much about the affairs of the world?
But the white-robed god-king did not ask any further questions. Everyone has secrets, and those who can become saints have even more secrets. Not to mention the great saint Cao Ya, even he himself had many opportunities and secrets.
"Hey, that guy must be the Heavenly Emperor's son, the eldest son of the Undying Heavenly Emperor." Cao Ya suddenly saw someone. This was the first time he had seen the Heavenly Emperor's son. Last time when he pacified the Divine Spirit Valley, he only had a sense of him. In the end, the Heavenly Emperor's son was rescued by the Undying Heavenly Blade.
"The Heavenly Emperor's Son, the biological son of the Undying Heavenly Emperor, the power of his bloodline is probably beyond imagination. I heard that in Purple Mountain, the Heavenly Emperor's Son also obtained a Creation Source Eye to nourish his origin? If that's true, this Heavenly Emperor's Son will be a great enemy of our human race!" Jiang Taixu said. The Undying Heavenly Emperor was the supreme god of all ancient races, and his offspring could not be valued too much.
Most importantly, everything the Heavenly Prince did after his birth was aimed at the human race.
Clearly, this was an ancient prince who was hostile to the human race.
Such figures naturally aroused the killing intent of human powerhouses. However, the Heavenly Emperor's son was protected by the descendants of the eight divine generals under his father and possessed many treasures. Even if a saint were to ambush him, it would be almost impossible to kill the Heavenly Emperor's son. Instead, it would be easy to give others a handle and fall into a situation where they were in the wrong, causing the Heavenly Emperor's son's subordinates to riot. The ancient races also took the opportunity to launch an attack.
Last time, when Cao Ya used the Devouring Demon Jar to annihilate the Divine Spirit Valley, the Heavenly Emperor's son happened to be in the valley. Cao Ya was aware of this but didn't care and pretended not to know. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to kill the Heavenly Emperor's son, but the sudden appearance of the Undying Heavenly Blade made his plan fall through.
However, Cao Ya also knew that the Undying Heavenly Blade wouldn't appear every time, especially when fighting against opponents of the same realm. The Undying Heavenly Blade simply ignored them because the Heavenly Emperor's choice had already disappointed the Undying Heavenly Emperor.
Last time, it was only because the Supreme Emperor Weapon was deployed that the Undying Heavenly Blade did not stand idly by.
However, listening to Jiang Taixu's words, so highly valuing the Heavenly Emperor's son and considering him a future great enemy of the human race, Cao Ya shook his head and said:
You're overthinking it.
