Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Shennong’s words lingered in Lu Yuan’s mind. It felt strange, as though the old man had some great expectations of him. But logically speaking, the two of them had never met.

Of course, the elder certainly knew that he had assimilated with his blood essence and also acquired the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Tokens. Back then when he entered the secret realm of Immortal Guang Chengzi, Guang Chengzi himself had also noticed both things.

There was nothing strange about that. After all, Shennong was a true Human Sovereign and Celestial Emperor. Even if that was just a remnant of his will and not his true living body, he still possessed mysterious and mighty power.

Could all of this be because Lu Yuan had obtained the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token?

Thinking back, when Immortal Guang Chengzi saw him then, the elderly man had also cried out the word ”Emperor.”

Lu Yuan thought deeper and the only things on him related to ”Emperor” were only the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token and the Investiture Edict.

The Investiture Edict had also appeared only after he had gathered three pieces of Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Tokens.

But why had Shennong only wanted to speak with him? The man had even isolated his descendants out of the conversation, to the extent that Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong had no idea what had happened.

At first, Lu Yuan had not considered these things, but as he thought deeper about it, there were many things he could not understand.

”Since we didn’t discover anything, let’s look elsewhere if there’s anything strange,” Jiang Ningxian proposed.

She had absolute trust in Lu Yuan and naturally would not doubt his words.

She planned to investigate further and if there was really nothing to be found, they could then leave. After all, she only came here to pay respects to her ancestor.

As for Jiang Haokong, he had no objection either.

At once, the two siblings went to the sides of the altar and continued investigating.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan let out a sigh inwardly. Originally, he had not wanted to hide anything else aside from the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token.

Unfortunately, the old man had given the explicit instructions before leaving, so he had no choice. Thus, he could only temporarily pretend he knew nothing and investigate together with the two siblings.

Although there had been slight changes to the Shennong’s Altar, they were not that significant. The three of them investigated for a long time but found nothing.

In the end, Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong knelt at the very center of the altar and began to pay their respects.

Shennong was the progenitor of their Jiang Clan, and Earth could also be considered their true homeland. Now that they had returned and come to a place closely related to their ancestor, they naturally had to treat the place with solemnity.

Lu Yuan stood at the side; he was not in the urge to study the fourth Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Token.

Instead, he was thinking of a way to contact the Nine-tailed Fox King and determine her exact location. He needed to find that sixth Nine Tripod Cauldron.

When he found the sixth cauldron, he could once again increase his own strength and the strength of the entire Celestial Court.

”We are more or less done, and can leave now. How is it? Can you determine her location?” Jiang Ningxian asked, as she approached Lu Yuan.

Aside from paying respects, the other goal of this trip was to collect one of the Nine Cauldrons.

Unfortunately, Shennongjia was too special and different from the other famous mountains and great rivers. If they had no way to determine the location, things would probably become very troublesome.

”Still no response, so I cannot determine her location. But the general direction is not a problem.” Lu Yuan spoke. The last time the Nine-tailed Fox King contacted him, she had mentioned the rough direction.

He had originally thought that he would be able to determine the location after entering the place. Who would have known that Shennongjia was shrouded by that mysterious power?

So now, they could only search according to the information they had obtained before. Endlessly waiting was not a solution either.

”That works. Let us first go and see what the situation is.” Jiang Ningxian nodded, knowing that they could not keep waiting here forever.

Jiang Haokong naturally had no objection to this. Whatever the two decided, he would simply follow.

Immediately, Lu Yuan said nothing more and brought the two of them away from Shennong’s Altar.

They had known prior that it was very difficult to distinguish directions in this area. The same applied even for those in extremely high realms. That was the fundamental reason the three of them had been so cautious earlier.

However, these things were nothing to Lu Yuan. He had the Martial Dao Heavenly Eyes, and more importantly, he also had Fuxi’s Bagua Diagram. Both could allow him to determine direction.

After the three left Shennong’s Altar, Lu Yuan also confirmed the general direction and moved.

Shennongjia truly lived up to its name of being a forbidden land. Even with their realms and cultivation, they could not even use things like divine perception.

Of course, this did not matter much. Considering their cultivation realms, there was nothing in this world that could threaten them.

As Lu Yuan advanced, he also released that strand of Providence within him. He used it to investigate the location of that sixth cauldron.

After all, the Nine-tailed Fox King had already found it. As long as he found that sixth cauldron, he would be able to reunite with her.

”As the world continues to awaken, this place will likely become a true forbidden land. Look at those mutated beasts around us. Every one of them is extremely powerful, and some have terrifying bloodlines. Given enough time, there wouldn’t be any issues for them to reach the Sage Realm, or even give birth to mutated beasts comparable to immortals in the future.” Jiang Haokong, who had been observing their surroundings all along, could not help letting out a sigh after seeing those mutated beasts.

He could sense that the Heaven-Earth Energy here was much denser than outside.

Earth, which had only just awakened, had already surpassed almost every starfield in this regard. Yet Shennongjia was even stronger. How could Jiang Haokong not sigh over this?

If other starfields had the same conditions, how fast would cultivation and evolution become?

”Therefore, as long as there’s ample time, it won’t be an issue for the Milky Way Starfield to enter the top hundred of the entire universe again, or even the top ten,” Jiang Ningxian replied. She knew how special this starfield was.

As for Shennongjia’s condition, she had long been clear about it in her heart.

One had to know that this place was the origin of the Great Age of the entire universe. Jiang Ningxian even suspected that in the future, the Milky Way Starfield would become number one in the entire universe.

This was not a joke, but something that she, and even the entire Jiang Clan, had prophesied.

”Eh?” When Jiang Haokong heard the comment, he was taken aback. At the same time, he turned his gaze toward Lu Yuan.

He was very clear that cultivating and growing in the Milky Way Starfield would give rise to many Children of the Great Age.

Combined with the blessing of the Great Age’s Providence, cultivation and evolution would become much smoother.

Jiang Haokong’s current thought was simple. Lu Yuan was already so powerful at present. If Lu Yuan gained the blessings of the Great Age’s Providence in the future, how frightening would that be?

He was very clear that with Lu Yuan’s talent and strength, it would not be difficult for the latter to intercept that wisp of Great Age’s Providence.

In that case, the gap between himself and Lu Yuan would only grow wider and wider.

Involuntarily, an imaginary gloomy dark cloud began to form over Jiang Haokong’s head.

I really can’t compare to him.

Just then, he suddenly discovered that his sister and Lu Yuan had stopped.

Ahead, Lu Yuan stood still, his expression becoming solemn as he said softly, ”Finally, found it.”
