บท 171: The Fourteenth Son of the Azure Sky
Days always pass slowly, just like playing chess, one move at a time.
Many things can't be rushed, and there's no need to rush either.
Just like playing chess, no matter how impatient you are, you can't play two turns in a row.
But as long as you're not impatient, your turn will come eventually.
As for the outcome, it's hard to say. But after all, the chess game has been played, and the process is there. Every move, big or small, represents a change.
It's impossible to only focus on the result, right?
Life is the same.
However, there are some exceptions. For example, Chen Xia insists on playing two turns, claiming it's like activating a trap card and skipping the opponent's turn.
This really confused Big Yellow Dog. It scratched its head and couldn't figure out what a trap card was. After a long while, it asked in confusion.
"Aren't we playing Chinese chess?"
"Yes, it's Chinese chess, but not the traditional kind," Chen Xia replied and casually controlled the cannon to fire twice.
Big Yellow Dog didn't understand but didn't ask any more questions. It just continued playing. Anyway, it couldn't play well and had never won.
One was playing dirty, and the other was slacking off, but they still had fun playing.
Time passed slowly in the Vast Heaven Sword Sea. Unconsciously, four hundred years had passed for this batch of preparatory disciples. In another hundred years, the competition for official disciples would begin.
Among all the cultivators, the most promising figure was naturally Li Yang, the only Great Emperor's seedling in this batch.
The other disciples who could be promoted to official disciples would be selected from among the Supreme Seeds and Mythical Seeds under him.
It's worth mentioning that this batch of preparatory disciples that Li Yang was in was the weakest in the past ten thousand years in the Vast Heaven Sword Sea.
Not only because there was only one Great Emperor's seedling, but also because there were fewer Supreme Seeds and Mythical Seeds under him, and their combat power was not high. They were not top-notch Supreme Seeds.
What's more interesting is that the strongest batch of preparatory disciples was adjacent to the weakest one, which was Chen Xia's batch.
The reason for being the strongest was simple. There were three Great Emperor's seedlings, and the Supreme Seeds and Mythical Seeds under them were also outstanding.
Moreover, there was Chen Xia, who could be said to be the fiercest Great Emperor's seedling since the establishment of the Vast Heaven Sword Sea.
Some cultivators even joked that there was no need for Di Du and Qiu Li, the other two Great Emperor's seedlings, or those Supreme Seeds and Mythical Seeds. Chen Xia alone was enough to claim the title of the strongest.
When this sentence was said, it sounded more like a joke at first, but people really couldn't find any angle to refute it.
After careful consideration, it seemed to be exactly the case.
However, there were also those who didn't like Chen Xia and insisted on refuting, "There can be five hundred people in a batch of preparatory disciples, each with their own responsibilities. Can Chen Xia do so many things alone? Obviously not."
Indeed, he couldn't. But Chen Xia could beat the five hundred people into submission and then make them do things.
This could also be called each doing their own part.
This was a small matter in the Vast Heaven Sword Sea recently. There was also a relatively big matter.
The Vast Heaven Sword Sea gave titles to the fourteen Great Emperor's seedlings in the sect, collectively known as the Fourteen Sons of the Vast Heaven.
This title was not simple. It would be recorded in the ancestral hall of the sect, and future generations would worship them when they saw it.
It was equivalent to the level of the past Supreme Elders and Ancestors of the Vast Heaven Sword Sea.
It's just that one could only reach this level after death. They were still a bit short now.
Since there were the Fourteen Sons of the Vast Heaven, there was naturally a ranking. Needless to say, the last one was without dispute.
Naturally, it was Li Yang, the Great Emperor's seedling of this batch. The ranking above was also based on the combat power of the official disciples. There were ready-made lists, and they could just apply them directly.
But when it came to the top two, there was a bit of a headache.
According to capital and status, it should be Jia Gao, who became an elder early and was now an even more exalted Great Emperor's seedling, ranking first.
Jia Gao was also the first Great Emperor's seedling recruited by the Vast Heaven Sword Sea in thousands of years. His realm was at the peak of the Overturning Sea Realm, and no one knew when he would be able to break through to the Mending Heaven Realm.
Logically speaking, Jia Gao should undoubtedly be the first.
But this was only logical. There was also an illogical argument.
That was Chen Xia.
He reached the peak as soon as he debuted. He was invincible among the Great Emperor's seedlings of the same batch. He beheaded Qiong Qi, the sixth-ranked Great Emperor's seedling of the previous batch, and imprisoned him in the sword prison for five hundred years. After being released from prison, he even crippled the Fourth Law Elder.
Any one of these deeds, if it happened to other Great Emperor's seedlings, would be a great honor and something they could brag about for half a day.
Chen Xia had done them all. Now he had even taken the position of the Fourth Law Elder. Compared with Jia Gao's status, he was not inferior.
This first place was really hard to rank.
Both sides had their own arguments and great capital.
So the first place of the Fourteen Sons of the Vast Heaven was left vacant for the time being. They would wait a few more centuries to see who between Chen Xia and Jia Gao could take the crucial step.
If Jia Gao broke through from the peak of the Overturning Sea Realm to the Mending Heaven Realm, the first place would undoubtedly be his.
Conversely, if Chen Xia's realm broke through again or his status rose further, he could also take the first place.
However, since Chen Xia was already the Fourth Law Elder, if his position rose further, it was really hard to say what his specific position would be.
After the Fourteen Sons of the Vast Heaven were established, there was naturally a coronation ceremony, which was a major event in the Vast Heaven Sword Sea recently. They even invited the seven surrounding major sects to watch.
For a while, ferries were densely packed around the Vast Heaven Sword Sea. Cultivators came one after another with respect and brought considerable gifts.
Although they said it was to invite them to watch, in fact, it was the Vast Heaven Sword Sea showing off its power.
These cultivators knew this, so they didn't dare to make trouble at all, for fear of being made an example of by the Vast Haoaven Sword Sea.
Among them, the Sect Master of Jade Terrace Mountain was relatively at ease, after all, he was "on good terms" with Chen Xia, the Fourth Law Elder.
Now that Chen Xia had become one of the Fourteen Sons of the Vast Heaven, he was naturally even happier. He almost blurted out the words "I know Chen Xia".
During this period, the Sect Master of Jade Terrace Mountain even came to look for Chen Xia once, using the pretext of looking for an old monster to say hello. In fact, he mainly came to give gifts to Chen Xia.
Chen Xia naturally accepted all the gifts, but he definitely wouldn't do anything in return.
The coronation ceremony of the Fourteen Sons of the Vast Heaven was held on a giant sword. There were as many as a hundred thousand cultivators watching, and they were all prominent figures in the star region. Those of a lower level didn't even have the qualification to watch.
Li Yang, the last one, came out first, wearing a golden silk feather robe, a white jade and rosy cloud crown on his head, with a hundred people dragging his golden skirt as he walked slowly onto the high platform, with arrogance in his eyes.
It was really a grand display.
And when the subsequent Great Emperor's seedlings came out, the display was only bigger and more magnificent.
This was specially instructed by the Vast Heaven Sword Sea. They wanted them to make their appearance as grand and magnificent as possible, the bigger the better.
So when Di Du and Qiu Li came out later, they were sitting on golden dragon bone thrones, with Mountain Moving Realm cultivators from their families carrying the sedan chairs as they made a grand entrance to the high place.
The appearance of the subsequent Great Emperor's seedlings was even more magnificent, with even dragons pulling the chariots and divine beast mounts.
But when it was finally Chen Xia's turn, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
A figure in a green shirt walked out casually, with nothing in front or behind him. He swung his sleeves and walked leisurely, and even quietly yawned during the process.
He just walked onto the stage like this, without saying a word, and stood directly in front of all the Great Emperor's seedlings, with a smile on his lips.
The a hundred thousand cultivators under the high platform were speechless and silent.
