Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 254 254: Genius of Saint Family

*****

The Dragon Conference was an event held annually. It was an opportunity for many great clans to show off.

It was also an opportunity for youngsters to get closer to the Royal Family. Many Sects had fierce fights between their disciples for the slots to attend the Dragon Conference.

Although the Dragon Conference was still a few weeks away, the preparation in the Royal City had already begun. It wasn't just to welcome the Heirs of Various sects after all.

This time, the Dragon Conference was special. It was said that the King was going to attend personally.

If it was just the King, it would have been fine. But it was rumoured that someone from the Saint Family was also going to attend.

In the Immortal World, there were many Kingdoms. And above the Kingdoms were Empires. There were many powerful beings living in the immortal world, but there were only a few powerful organizations.

Almost everyone knew that this world had seven Holy Grounds. Five of them were Holy Sects. And two were great demon sects.

They were the ideal places that many dreamed of joining. But even now, no one knew how they could join a Holy Ground.

It was the biggest mystery in the Immortal World as none had ever heard about the recruitment by a Holy Ground.

Beyond the Seven Holy Grounds, there was also the Sword Mountain which was said to be comparable to a Holy Ground.

And lastly, there was a Saint Family. The Saint Family only had less than a hundred members, yet they were comparable to the Holy Ground or the Sword Mountain when it came to strength.

The Saint Family was respected all over the Immortal World. Even the Holy Grounds treated them with respect.

Many Empires and Kingdoms wanted to get into the good books of the Saint Family, but it was harder than climbing to heaven.

Although no one knew how the Holy Grounds selected their disciples, there was wide consensus on one thing.

It was that if the Saint Family wanted a member to join a Holy Ground, all the holy grounds would have formed a line to be selected.

Many great clans wanted to bribe the holy sects to have their heirs selected. But instead, the Holy Sects would have bribed the Saint Family to send a member to become a part of their sect.

It was easier to see a disciple of a Holy Ground than it was to see a member of the Saint Family who were said to be blessed by the gods.

That was the prestige of the Saint Family.

Along the way, Xu Shan had heard a lot about the Saint Family. And it was mainly because there was a rumour that a member of the Saint Family was going to make an appearance during the Dragon Conference.

No one knew how true the rumor was. But just the mention of the Saint Family was enough to raise interest.

Many nearby kingdoms had also started sending their spies to find out the reality about this rumor.

Throughout the weeks, Xu Shan had stopped at various cities along the way. But everywhere, only the Saint Family was being discussed.

Just to see a single glimpse of a Saint Family member, many people wanted to enter the Royal City.

Xu Shan didn't understand how a rumor like this spread. Did the Royal Family spread it themselves so everyone could know that they are able to invite people from the Saint Family?

It made sense that they would want to promote it if this was actually happening. Because of that, Xu Shan also felt that there was some truth to the rumours.

The only thing he didn't understand was why? Why did someone from such an influential family coming to this small Kingdom?

He had managed to find out a lot of things about this Kingdom. Although it wasn't a weak Kingdom, but it wasn't strong either.

It paled in comparison to the Empires in the Central Region. It neither had great resources nor any well known treasures. So why?

"I suppose it doesn't matter. I also want to see what the genius of this world is like."

Xu Shan had managed to enter the Royal City and find a room, thanks to the resources he had 'gathered' along the way.

As Xu Shan settled into his room in the Royal City, he couldn't help but feel excitemen of the citizens, including the people who worked at the hotel. Everyone was looking forward to the Dragon Conference.

The air in the city was filled with an electric energy, as people from all walks of life eagerly anticipated the upcoming Dragon Conference.

As the days passed, Xu Shan explored the bustling streets of the Royal City with Divine Empress.

Xu Shan's inquiries led him to a local teahouse, where he hoped to gather more information about the Dragon Conference and the rumored presence of the Saint Family member.

The teahouse was abuzz with conversations, and he overheard snippets of discussions about the upcoming event.

Sitting at a corner table, Xu Shan sipped his tea and listened attentively.

The teahouse patrons spoke of the Saint Family member that they believed was going to attend.

Many claimed that it was the heir of the Saint Family himself, who was said to be a reincarnation of the Heavenly Laws.

It was said that ever since he was born, he had never once lost any battle. He was someone who could master a skill just by simply glancing at it once.

He could also understand the mysteries of the world that should have been impossible without spending years.

And lastly, there was also a rumor that said the Saint Family heir had broken through to Celestial Immortal Realm with the help of the Heavenly Tribulation which he absorbed with ease.

While everyone used Celestial Energy, the Saint Family heir used the Heavenly Essence, a first for many.

"What absurd rumor! How can someone break through with Heavenly Essence? It is impossible!"

Many people also called it pure nonsense.

Sitting in the back, Xu Shan was quite intrigued by the rumours. There was someone other than him who had used the Heavenly Essence to break through?
