Villain : After Slacking Off, The Protagonist Collapse

Immediately, the entire Primordial Holy Land was alarmed, and countless disciples looked up in the direction of the Banished Immortal Peak, their eyes filled with shock and curiosity.

“Is the Holy Son about to break through?”

“What realm is he breaking through to? Is it the Great Master Realm?”

“Such a grand momentum definitely surpasses the Great Master Realm. This should be stepping into the quasi-Saint Realm!”

“Holy crap, is he about to step into the quasi-Saint Realm? I remember the Holy Son stepped into the Great Master Realm less than a year ago.”

“In total, it’s been less than eight months!”

“It takes me a year to break through a small realm in the True Spirit Realm, and the Holy Son is stepping into the quasi-Saint in less than a year from the Great Master Realm?”

“That’s not even comparable. How can we even be mentioned in the same breath as the Holy Son?”

“Even so, it is monstrous. Could the elders of the past achieve this?”

“Not at all. It is said that the elders spent hundreds of years stepping from the Great Master Realm to the quasi-Saint Realm, with only a few pausing for ten years or several years.”

“It’s rumored that the Holy Master and that Fairy Xue spent seven or eight years, and even then, they were considered extraordinary.”

“Then what does it mean that the Holy Son steps into this realm in less than a year?”

“How would I know?”

Many disciples were alarmed, their emotions and words beyond description. They felt powerless, somewhat numb as the speed of this breakthrough left them speechless.

On a mountain peak.

The high-level members of the Primordial Holy Land gathered together. Many elders and the Holy Master of the Primordial Holy Land stood among them.

Everyone looked in the direction of the Banished Immortal Peak, filled with surprise and amazement.

The Sixth Elder smiled and said, “I knew the Holy Son wouldn’t disappoint me. I thought back then that he would definitely step into the quasi-Saint Realm within a year, and sure enough, I was right!”

“When I saw the Holy Son step into the ninth level of the Great Master Realm, I felt it wouldn’t be long before the Holy Son steps into the quasi-Saint Realm.”

“Now, do you believe it?” The Sixth Elder smiled at the other elders beside him.

“We believe, we believe!”

“We originally thought that the Holy Son stepping into the quasi-Saint Realm in three years was already monstrous. Who would have thought he would break through in less than a year?” The Fifth Elder sighed.

“If you believe, then hand over the items. I haven’t forgotten the bet!” The Sixth Elder didn’t care about these things because they had once made a bet.

Now that Jiang Chen was about to break through, he naturally won. Naturally, he wanted these guys to hand over the items.

“Take it, take it!”

Several elders impatiently threw the items to the Sixth Elder.

The Sixth Elder didn’t mind and happily put the items away.

Almost simultaneously, the void split open, and several powerful auras emerged.

“Supreme Elders!” Seeing the elders walking out, except for the Holy Master of the Primordial Holy Land, the other elders saluted.

These elders were the foundation of the Primordial Holy Land. Once absolute powerhouses of the Primordial Holy Land, their lifespans were almost exhausted, sealed in divine sources to prolong their lives.

In fact, it wasn’t so much to prolong their lives; some Supreme Elders no longer cared about life and death but were concerned about the Primordial Holy Land, so they hadn’t died yet, living as the foundation.

Just to help the Primordial Holy Land when the time came. Because of the presence of these Supreme Elders. The Primordial Holy Land remained prosperous, for whenever there were major actions, these Supreme Elders would act, using their powerful strength to suppress the enemy.

It could be said.

The strength of the Primordial Holy Land was closely related to these Supreme Elders, and their contributions were indispensable.

Rising from youth, protecting the Holy Land in middle age, and still protecting it in old age. Some Supreme Elders had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

“I never thought our Primordial Holy Land could produce such an emperor-like figure! From him, I see the shadow of the emperors of the past!” A Supreme Elder said with bright eyes and a tone of surprise.

The appearance of Jiang Chen was like adding color to their gray lives, giving them a sense of expectation and joy.

This was unprecedented.

“How old is the Holy Son now?” The Supreme Elder looked at the crowd and asked.

“Just over twenty!” Dongfang Mingyue answered truthfully.

“Just over twenty?”

The Supreme Elders were stunned and somewhat unbelievable.

So young?

“Yes!!” Dongfang Mingyue smiled and said.

If it weren’t for being with Jiang Chen day and night, she would be equally surprised. Just because having such cultivation at this age was too heaven-defying.

Throughout the long years, there had never been such a thing.

“Good, good, good, with such a promising child, how could our Holy Land not prosper?”

“Fortunately, he is a disciple of our Holy Land, otherwise, we could only envy as usual!”

The Supreme Elder was extremely happy, looking at the Banished Immortal Peak with joy, as if seeing a treasure.

Like seeing a great beauty. It was an almost instinctive reaction, coming from the heart.

“In the past, I saw the extraordinary nature of the Holy Son and took him in! Now it seems my judgment was correct!” Dongfang Mingyue smiled and said.

As the discoverer and Jiang Chen’s teacher, she was happier than anyone else.

There was a sense of shared honor and disgrace. Praising Jiang Chen was like praising her. She had never been so moved by praise herself.

“Yue, you did a good job! Taking in Jiang Chen is the most correct decision of the Holy Land in tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years!”

Speaking of this, the Supreme Elder’s face turned serious and said, “But you must be careful to protect the Holy Son’s safety, not letting him be affected. Such a monstrous talent will be resented by others, and various forces will act!”

“Be it the foreign races or the human race, it’s the same!”

“Often, the human race strikes the hardest. In the past, our human geniuses didn’t die at the hands of the foreign races but at the hands of our own people!”

For the force where the genius was, the more monstrous the genius, the better, but for other forces, it was not the same.

The more monstrous the genius, the more resentful they became and the more forces wanted to strike.

For no other reason, just not wanting them to grow. Throughout the long years, countless geniuses had fallen like meteors, resented for being too monstrous.

“These disciples understand, we have already let Mu Jianxue be the Holy Son’s protector! With her protection, few in the Nine Heavens Realm can harm the Holy Son!” Dongfang Mingyue responded solemnly.

She knew this better than anyone, otherwise, she wouldn’t have let Mu Jianxue act as the protector.

“Quasi-Emperor stage one, not bad! But  it’s still not safe enough! In the future, let me join as well!”

“Anyway, my time is running out. Instead of continuing to linger on, I’d rather protect him, watch him grow, and hope to see him step into the Emperor Realm one day. Then I will have no regrets!” A Supreme Elder said lightly.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked as this Supreme Elder was a former supreme powerhouse, at the sixth level of the quasi-Emperor.

In the Primordial Holy Land, he was among the strongest and this elder was known as the Third Ancestor!

“Third Ancestor, are you sure?” The other Supreme Elders looked at the Third Ancestor and asked softly.

“Yes!” The Third Ancestor’s expression was calm, and he said slowly, “Instead of surviving in the divine source for a long time, it’s better to protect the hope of the Holy Land, act as a guardian, and watch him grow!”

“Moreover, with the Holy Son’s talent, if he were in the foreign races, even I wouldn’t be able to help but act. Do you think the old monsters of the foreign races wouldn’t act?”

“With only Mu Jianxue, it’s ultimately not stable enough! Besides the foreign races, the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain won’t just watch!”

Monstrous talents are resented.

This is not just talk.

If too monstrous, it’s not just the strong in the Nine Heavens Realm who will act. It’s very likely that some old monsters will act to completely prevent these monstrous talents from growing.

They can’t let them grow. Once they grow, the consequences are unimaginable. This counts as a man-made disaster, one that geniuses cannot escape and must experience.

“Feasible! If the Third Ancestor protects him, I will be more at ease!”

Several Supreme Elders thought for a moment and found it very appropriate. Because as the Third Ancestor said, if Jiang Chen were from the ancient imperial family.

Then they really couldn’t help but act.
