Chapter 1279

: Jiang Thearch

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Wu Clan, the Jian Clan, the Tu Clan, and the last of the traitors who depended on Heaven Nether Sect were all killed—as long as they were above the Vajra Realm.

These orders were Jiang Yi’s, and the people who carried them out were the Tang Clan. The remaining people of Heaven Nether Sect were all killed, and Netherworld Mountain was flattened. A few of their scouts who had been in hiding were also being chased down and killed one by one.

The calamity in the continent was finally over. The leader became the devil, and the traitor of the human race—Jiang Yi—became the hero!

Life was always that amazing. As the various clans intentionally spread the news, news of Jiang Yi’s ‘heroic acts’ spread throughout the Stellarsky Domain in just three days. Ao Lu was vindicated, and the North Thearch, the Sword Thearch, the Beast Thearch, and Xing Mo became the ten more incorrigible demons. What’s more… the thirteen clans of Sin Island who had been wiped out became heroes as well.

History was always written by the victorious. No matter whether Jiang Yi wanted it to happen or not—as he stood at the pinnacle of the Stellarsky Continent, many people who wanted to gain his favor helped him boost his reputation. They edited the stories as they liked to make him sound more amazing and heroic, so that he would sound more impressive. Some clans even suggested creating a kingdom and making Jiang Yi the thearch of it. They wanted him to become a thearch like the Mystic Thearch, one who would go down in history!

Jiang Yi and company did not spread the news of the Stellarsky Domain’s danger. Fewer than twenty people were qualified enough to hear this news. These twenty or so people understood the weight of this problem and were prepared to bury the secrets deep in their gut. Otherwise, they were at least prepared to wait until the Big Heaven Wheel Formation broke apart and the Netherworld Realm’s army came before they announced it!

As for establis.h.i.+ng a kingdom, Jiang Yi had no interest at all in it.

His lack of ambition aside, he had no interest at all in becoming a thearch. Even if he did become a thearch, how long would he be able to keep his position? Even if he could not ascend, he expected that he would only remain as the thearch for ten years at the very most.

Jiang Yi discussed the situation with the Buddha Thearch and company and decided to establish a Stellarsky Domain Alliance. There would be no leader; there would just be ten thearch venerates.

Jiang Yi, the Buddha Thearch, the Xuan Thearch, the Saint Empress, the Yin Thearch, the Night Empress, Tang Shenji, the heads of the Xuan Clan and the Mo Clan, and the new Battle Thearch would act as the thearch venerates.

They would vote on every decision. On important matters, at least seven votes would be required for a decision to be made. What’s more, all ten positions could not be inherited. People had to prove both their authority and their skills in order to take over the position. Similarly, seven votes were required before a new person would be allowed to take over. Of course, this arrangement was only temporary. None of them could be sure of what the situation would be like in ten years’ time. If Stellarsky Domain perished, there would be no use in having an alliance.

n.o.body from the She Clan was allowed to act as a thearch venerate this time. No one even suggested such a thing, because it was well known that the She Clan was at odds with Jiang Yi. At that moment, the new Evil Thearch was still living in fear and panic, afraid that Jiang Yi would take revenge on the She Clan.

The Zhan Clan and Jiang Yi were not on good terms either, but Zhan Wushuang acted as the bridge between both sides. The Battle Thearch was also killed by the North Thearch; thus, they had no reason to support Xing Mo. Thus, the Zhan Clan was fortunate enough to have a position among the thearch venerates. The new Battle Thearch was also good at reading the situation. The day after he was offered the role, he made Zhan Wushuang the Young Clan Head.

After confirming who would take leaders.h.i.+p of the domain, it was time to split the land!

A few thearchs were already gone. This time, countless clans also perished and fell in battle. A lot of lands were now freed up. Many big and small clans alike eyed those freed-up pieces of land like wolves. Jiang Yi did not want to get involved in these things so he asked Tang Shenji, the Buddha Thearch, the Yin Thearch, the Xuan Thearch, and the others to take care of them.

The Wu Clan’s four territories became the Jiang Clan’s four territories, even though Jiang Yi did not really care for them. He only accepted them because he considered the Qian Clan, the Zhan Clan, Jiang Yunhai’s family, and other people who were following him from the Stellarsky Continent. He had little choice but to take over those territories and stick to his old method of doing things: he asked Qian w.a.n.guan to distribute the land while he focused on bigger things.

His wedding!

He owed Yin Ruobing, Yi Chan, and Mo Yao’er a big wedding. He also owed Su Ruoxue a wedding. Although he still could not get rid of the talisman poison in Su Ruoxue’s soul spirit for now and that he had no way of helping her recover her memories, he had not much time left. He could not afford to delay these things any longer.

After he settled his wedding, he wanted to go to Death G.o.d’s Dense Sea and seclude himself inside until he breaks through the True G.o.d Realm!

As for becoming a True G.o.d, he did not have much confidence. At least for now, n.o.body could be sure how much time he would take. The first thing he needed to become a True G.o.d was for his essence force to congeal into a divine core. The second thing he needed was to realize and fuse an ultimate dao pattern. The third thing was to congeal a divine soul. As long as he had not achieved any of these things, he could forget about obtained a divine body and transcending the spatial zone.

He asked the mysterious elder about the first point before the elder fell asleep. It sounded easy to achieve. He only needed to transform his eighth star sphere before his essence force would become comparable to a True G.o.d’s. If he could use the Mystic Divine Palace to train himself inside Death G.o.d’s Dense Sea, he would achieve a hundred-thousand-time training speed. Then, he would likely only require a year to achieve this.

The third thing—getting a divine soul—was easy to achieve as well. Each clan already possessed countless spirit herbs that could nourish one’s spirit soul. They were going all out to help Jiang Yi congeal his divine soul. What’s more, there were countless four- or five-star martial artists who went into various mystic realms to search for more spirit herbs that could nourish his spirit. With the combined efforts of the Stellarsky Domain on his side, Jiang Yi guessed that he would form a divine soul within a year as well.

The second thing was the hardest. In order to fuse an ultimate dao pattern, he needed three supreme dao patterns. He had the Fury of Thunder and Divinity Slayer already. Logically, he would only need one more supreme dao pattern before he would be able to fuse these three together.

However, things like dao patterns were different from battle skills. One could not obtain them just by working hard. If one was lucky, they might be able to realize a dao pattern in seconds. However, if one was unlucky, he might need ten or a hundred years. There were Heaven Paintings in the Mystic Divine Palace. Jiang Yi guessed it would not be too difficult to realize another supreme dao pattern. The most difficult part would likely be… fusing them!

In more than seven hundred thousand years!

Countless amazing and frightening talents have walked through Stellarsky Domain. The Nine Thearch Clans’ heads across the ages were all incredibly talented. Which one of them was able to fuse an ultimate dao pattern? Not one of them. Even Xing Mo was only spiritually strong; he did not manage to fuse an ultimate dao pattern. Thus, not one person managed to ascend in these seven hundred thousand years or so.

Would Jiang Yi have the chance?

Sure he did!

He knew this because Yi Piaopiao’s blood was flowing through his veins. He was a descendant of one of the strongest races in the Higher Domain. Everybody was pinning their hopes on Jiang Yi, but who could guarantee that Jiang Yi would break through in just one or two years? If Jiang Yi only managed to breakthrough in ten years, then everything would be finished.

Thus, the ma.s.ses were more nervous than Jiang Yi was. On hearing that Jiang Yi would only go into seclusion after getting married, the Buddha Thearch and company discussed the situation for a day and a night without stopping. Finally, they decided to hold the wedding in ten days. Countless clans were activated to organize Jiang Yi’s wedding for him. They had to come together to organize the grandest wedding of all in just ten days.

In these few days, Jiang Yi asked people to help him build a Memorial of Heroic Souls to be placed on the Jiang Thearch City’s city plaza.

The Saint Emperor, Long Qu, was the first name on the list. Ao Lu was second. Situ Ao, Lei Banxian, and other names were recorded as well. Every martial artist who died in this battle was named. They would be remembered and wors.h.i.+ped by descendants for generations to come.

Ten days later!

The grandest wedding ceremony in the history of the Stellarsky Domain had begun. Every great family clan head in the continent was present. Even the Saint Empress came all the way from the Snow Region despite being injured. There were four brides: Su Ruoxue, Yin Ruobing, Yi Chan, and Mo Yao’er.

Jiang Yi meant to marry Feng Luan, Qing Yu, and Nangong Qiling as well. However, the three of them were very mature and understanding. They requested to be Jiang Yi’s concubines instead. Tang Xue and Tang Yan requested the same as well. As for Hu Danni, she did not even want to be named as his concubine. She instead wanted to just be his lover. Jiang Yi was the Jiang Thearch now after all; it would not be good for him to have a bad reputation.

At twenty-six years old, Jiang Yi became the Jiang Thearch—the unrivaled king of Stellarsky Domain—and married several most beautiful women of the entire continent!

In the eyes of bystanders, Jiang Yi was a legendary man, comparable to the Mystic Thearch. His life had reached its climax. However, only Jiang Yi, Yi Chan, and other people closest to him knew that his journey was just beginning.

He was carrying the greatest burden of all time. The weight of billions of lives in the Stellarsky Domain lay on his shoulders. People could only see his superficial glory and honor. Who could understand the hard work and pain that he had to put in to get here?
