After observing for a while, Jiang Taixu nodded slightly and said:
“Great Sage Cao Ya, what you said earlier is indeed true. The Heavenly Prince’s temperament is flawed, unlike that of the Holy Prince and Ye Fan.”
The Emperor's son thought his schemes were brilliant, but in reality, his various methods were too superficial and could be seen through at a glance.
Moreover, he was accompanied by a large entourage. Was he afraid of someone and dared not travel alone? Or was it to display his prestige in front of the public?
Perhaps, it's a combination of both.
However, regarding the matter of the Holy Prince, he dared not personally engage in a direct battle with the Holy Prince, but only ordered his subordinates to recklessly pursue and kill him. Such behavior is hardly the behavior of someone who has the potential to become an emperor.
In comparison, whether it's the Holy Prince, Ye Fan, or other ancient princes and peerless geniuses of the human race, they all surpass the Heavenly Prince in terms of temperament.
"However, if the Heavenly Emperor's son can truly break through this level, given his bloodline and aptitude, he would indeed be a great enemy of the human race," Jiang Taixu added, still not daring to underestimate him because of his status.
The sons and daughters of ancient emperors and great emperors—such beings, due to their bloodline and aptitude, have an extremely terrifying future.
However, Cao Ya did not place such importance on the Crown Prince.
Although there are those who can overcome psychological shadows and obstacles to their Dao heart, and thus make rapid progress in their cultivation, Cao Ya felt that the Heavenly Emperor's son could not become that kind of person.
From the two options given by the Undying Emperor, he chose the first path, enjoying endless glory, countless protectors, and an abundance of divine medicines and rare treasures, instead of having nothing and only a Heavenly Blade to roam the universe. At that time, the Emperor's son's Dao heart was already flawed, and he was destined to have no hope of achieving the Dao.
The Emperor's son's current prestige is entirely due to the legacy of the Immortal Emperor.
However, in the struggle for the imperial path, the identity of the ancient prince does not frighten others. On the contrary, it fuels their fighting spirit, who are determined to defeat the ancient prince and prove their own path.
"Hey, the people from Shencan Ridge are showing up too." Cao Ya stroked his chin, suddenly laughed, and muttered, "This is going to be good."
He knew that the reason why the Fighting Saint Ape clan was at odds with the Undying Emperor was entirely because after the Fighting Saint Ape attained enlightenment, in his later years, he was ambushed by the Undying Emperor. This made the Fighting Saint Ape understand the Undying Emperor's path, which enraged him, and he overturned the Undying Emperor's Daoist temple.
The Immortal Emperor's path to immortality involves bathing in the divine blood of emperors and sovereigns, undergoing a complete transformation.
Therefore, in the later years of some ancient emperors and great emperors, as long as the immortal emperor was conscious at the time, they would all be attacked by the immortal emperor.
For example, the Fighting Saint Emperor and the Supreme Emperor.
Because of the grudges between the ancient emperors, the Eight Divine Generals and the Fighting Holy Ape Clan were also at odds, and the Heavenly Emperor's son and the Holy Emperor's son were also hostile to each other.
However, due to the extraordinary status of the Immortal Emperor, the ancient races gathered on the side of the Emperor's son were more numerous than those on the side of the Holy Emperor's son.
Moreover, because the Holy Prince never sought out any of his father's followers, not even his own uncle, the Fighting Holy King, he did not go to the Western Desert to find him. He focused solely on arduous cultivation and relentless training through bloody battles.
Undoubtedly, this move further highlights the Holy Prince's isolation and vulnerability, placing him at a significant disadvantage compared to the Heavenly Prince.
Otherwise, why would there have been a manhunt that lasted for months?
However, Cao Ya was also well aware that the Divine Silkworm Ridge and the Fighting Saint Ape Clan had always been on good terms, and the Divine Silkworm Princess was the Fighting Saint King's fiancée, known as the Fighting Saint Queen.
Shencanling was also a super clan that produced an ancient emperor, which dominated an era and had a huge influence.
In this struggle, there is no doubt that Shencanling stands on the side of the Fighting Holy Ape Clan.
In fact, the reasoning is indeed on the side of the Fighting Holy Ape clan.
The things the Immortal Emperor did were so despicable that they were utterly contemptible.
The Immortal Emperor is no better than those Forbidden Zone Supremes who cut off their own imperial status, relinquish their imperial power, and plunge into the Forbidden Zone of Life, occasionally instigating dark turmoil.
They both fell from being revered by all races to becoming enemies of the universe!
"With the Holy Prince and the Divine Silkworm Princess here, the Victorious Fighting Buddha of the Western Desert will probably also descend the mountain and come to the Eastern Wilderness." Cao Ya muttered to himself, quite curious as to why the Victorious Fighting King had turned to Buddhism and become the Victorious Fighting Buddha.
Jiang Taixu gazed at Yaochi, and like Cao Ya, did not rush to reveal himself.
Because the guys they needed to be wary of were also hiding in the shadows, none of them showing themselves.
They're probably all waiting for the right opportunity.
Meanwhile, outside the Jade Pool, numerous human cultivators and ancient beings gathered to watch the conflict between the ancient princes from afar, their faces showing expressions of anticipation.
They had all heard that the Holy Prince had been relentlessly pursued by the Eight Divine Generals for the past few months, his hair stained with blood and seriously injured several times.
As for the matter of the Fighting Saint Emperor overthrowing the Undying Emperor's dojo, it naturally spread among the two sides, given their irreconcilable differences.
However, they did not know why the Fighting Saint Emperor did that.
"Ancient princes vying for supremacy, hehe, this is going to be a good show." Many human cultivators were gloating, hoping that a great war would break out among the ancient races.
The ancient creatures were filled with awe and remained silent, like cicadas in winter; none dared to interfere or utter a word.
The ancient emperor's remaining power still lingers, awe-inspiring all the heavens throughout the ages.
However, Ye Fan, Duan De, and the Black Emperor supported the Holy Prince, making no attempt to hide their dislike for the Heavenly Prince.
"Brother Monkey, wanna go for it? I've been wanting to get my hands on that prince for ages, let's take him down!" Ye Fan said, rubbing his fists together, his blood surging, his black hair flying, and his eyes shining brightly.
"The timing isn't right. We should be outside and just smack him on the head," Duan De muttered. Smackling someone on the head was something he was an expert at.
“Great minds think alike,” Black Emperor nodded and said from the side.
He was quite regretful, sighing and lamenting that his focus on winning favor had backfired and caused him to miss out on important matters.
"It won't work. That guy is already a scaredy-cat. With so many Eight Divine Generals following him, we'll be in danger if we're not careful," Ye Fan said, shaking his head.
Clearly, he had also considered the idea of ambushing someone.
"..." The Holy Prince.
Although he had met these three guys quite a bit and had a good relationship with them, why did the Holy Prince feel that he was out of place with them?
The others also turned their heads frequently, looking quite astonished. However, upon seeing Ye Fan, the Holy Body, the Black Emperor, and Duan De, they immediately understood.
Those three guys were indeed full of bad intentions, making many people grit their teeth in hatred.
The Emperor's son and his followers stared at Ye Fan, the Black Emperor, and Duan De, their faces turning ashen.
Do they consider each other as nothing by talking so recklessly?
"It seems you are all courting death, defying the will of the Son of God," the Heavenly Emperor said grimly.
The ancient beings behind him all had cold expressions and sinister gazes as they looked at Ye Fan and his companions.
Nearby, in the distance, several other prodigies appeared. A young Taoist with disheveled hair, a prince wearing a golden nine-dragon battle robe, and a little nun in white clothes were walking together. They listened to the conversation between Ye Fan, the Black Emperor, and Duan De, and their expressions were quite interesting.
Among them was a little sprite, shaped like a small phoenix, dazzling and beautiful, flying around.
When the Holy Prince saw the young Taoist priest and the little elf, he smiled and nodded. He then nodded to the other two as well.
Ye Fan also recognized the three people. The disheveled young Taoist was the Divine Silkworm Taoist of Divine Silkworm Ridge, an ancient prince, the biological son of the ancestor of the Nine Transformations Emperor, whose status was extraordinary and whose seniority was higher than that of everyone else in the clan.
The man in the nine-dragon golden battle robe was Xia Yiming, the prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, while the little nun in white was Xia Yilin, the princess of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The Great Xia Dynasty is one of the four ancient dynasties in the Central Plains. Its ancestors also had an invincible emperor who was known as the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor Scripture he created was most effective in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm. Ye Fan had practiced the Supreme Emperor Scripture before.
