Chapter 850: The Great Chaos is Still Ahead
Regarding Yang Haoran's question, Xu Meijing didn't even think about it and lightly shook her head.
"I only know that the person above is fighting tooth and nail to contend, but as for how far he has climbed now and whether he can surpass other Guardians to become the new Great Emperor Jingling, I don't know."
After Great Emperor Jingling fell, the position of the Great Emperor of the Jingling Continent was vacant, and naturally, it became an existence that other Guardians would fight to the death to contend for.
Before Great Emperor Jingling fell, other Guardians didn't dare to covet this position, even if they had thoughts in their hearts. They all hid their intentions very deeply and didn't dare to reveal even a hint, lest they invite disaster.
However, after Great Emperor Jingling fell, the situation was different.
"Do you think our superior has a chance to sit on the throne of the Great Emperor?" Yang Haoran asked.
"I'm not clear, I haven't had much contact with him, and I don't understand him. As for his strength, I know even less, so I don't dare to determine whether he can surpass other Guardians and become the new Great Emperor Jingling," Xu Meijing replied.
After thinking for a moment, she asked Yang Haoran, "Now that you've also opened your earth soul, with your current strength, can you compare it to his strength back then? Do you think he's stronger than you by how much?"
Xu Meijing asked this because Yang Haoran had contact with Luo Yao in the past, although she had also had contact with Luo Yao. However, Luo Yao always used the Sealing Technique to conceal his power, so she couldn't sense how strong he was.
"At that time, he didn't have a real fight with that great spirit master, but instead let him leave, so it's hard to say how strong he was. However, one thing is certain - his strength was definitely much stronger than ours now."
Yang Haoran didn't give Xu Meijing a definite answer, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't. He didn't know how strong Luo Yao was.
"Never mind, whether he's strong or weak, it's not something we can control. Even if we knew his true strength, it wouldn't mean much to us. Whether he can become the new Great Emperor Jingling depends on himself."
Xu Meijing was straightforward. Since she couldn't understand Luo Yao's strength, she might as well not bother. The most up-to-date version is on M(VLEMPY)R.
Yang Haoran chuckled and expressed his thoughts.
"Becoming the new Great Emperor Jingling isn't that simple. Our Jingling Continent still has seven Guardians, and to surpass the other six, you need absolute strength and methods. Moreover, this Great Emperor Jingling position might not necessarily be chosen from our Jingling Continent. Maybe Guardians from other continents will also intervene, making it even harder to become the Great Emperor Jingling."
Xu Meijing lightly nodded in agreement with Yang Haoran's view.
"However, if Luo Yao can become the new Great Emperor Jingling, we Underworld Envoys who follow him might gain some benefits, although it's not certain." Yang Haoran said.
"He has so many Burial Masters under him. Even if he becomes the Great Emperor Jingling, we two might not gain much benefit. After all, we're not close to him, and he doesn't value us. Even if he wants to give benefits, it might not reach us, and we might not gain anything at all." Xu Meijing laughed and said.
"That's the truth. I was just saying it, but I didn't expect to gain any benefits from the sky. However, apart from the Great Emperor Jingling position, our Jingling Continent still has two vacant Guardian positions. If the Great Emperor Jingling is born from the remaining seven Guardians in our continent, then three Guardian positions will be vacant, and the competition for these three positions will be even fiercer than the competition for the Great Emperor Jingling position."
Yang Haoran said, and he thought this way because not just anyone could contend for the Great Emperor Jingling position. The first choice would definitely be the Guardians.
The Yin Division has five great emperors, namely the Four Continents and the Underworld, known as the Five Emperors of the Underworld. Each great emperor has only nine Guardians under them, which means there are only 45 Guardians in the entire Yin Division.
Right now, two people have died, and there are forty-three Guardians left. Even if the new Great Emperor Jingling wants to select from all the Guardians, there are only forty-three candidates.
However, it's different for Burial Masters. Each Guardian has thousands of Burial Masters under them, and the total number of Burial Masters on the Jingling Continent is staggering. Currently, there are only two vacant Guardian positions on the Jingling Continent, and tens of thousands of Burial Masters are competing for these two positions, making it extremely difficult.
"Let's not think about the two Guardian positions for now. Although we've both successfully opened our earth souls, there are many people in the Burial Master team who have opened their Heaven and Earth souls. They just haven't had the opportunity to become Guardians, which doesn't mean they're weak. Compared to them, we're still too immature. Now that there are vacancies, they'll definitely come out to compete. Where would we even stand a chance? Even if we went, it would be a waste of time."
After a brief pause, Xu Meijing continued, "Moreover, our strength has increased rapidly, but it's still not enough to be seen in the light of day. Even if we have the strength to compete with other Burial Masters who have opened their Heaven and Earth souls, dare we do so? I don't know if you dare, but I don't."
Yang Haoran chuckled and shook his head, responding, "Ha ha, you know my personality. I'm not someone who takes reckless risks. This Guardian position may be extremely tempting for us Burial Masters, but I know what to do and what not to do. Let them fight for it. We can still make a fortune quietly. I brought this up not to compete for the two Guardian positions, but just to express my feelings."
Xu Meijing's smile grew thicker as she listened to Yang Haoran's words, and she asked with a smile, "What are you feeling nostalgic about?"
Yang Haoran chuckled and responded, "I'm feeling nostalgic because the Great Emperor Jingling has fallen, two Guardians have died, and the entire Jingling Continent's Yin Division is in chaos. But this chaos has just begun. Before the new Great Emperor Jingling and the two Guardians are born, the Jingling Continent's Yin Division will only become more chaotic."
Xu Meijing's face was filled with curiosity as she asked, "Is that all? Don't you have any other ideas, Yang Haoran?"
Yang Haoran chuckled and said, "Ha ha, of course I have ideas. If I didn't, I'd be a useless person. I want to take this opportunity to make a big move, push forward my plans, and try to gain as much as possible. If I can use this opportunity to make a fortune, that would be even better."
Xu Meijing smiled and said, "Ha ha, listening to you makes me feel passionate. I hope you won't disappoint me in the future."
Yang Haoran smiled and said, "Of course, I won't disappoint you. By the way, are you really okay after your injury?"
Yang Haoran looked at Xu Meijing with unconcealed concern in his eyes.
"I won't die. Although I haven't fully recovered, with the elixir Feng Xiao gave me, I just need to rest for a while to recover to my peak state. Feng Xiao is a talented girl, and having her is like having a reusable life-saving token. When I return to Ancheng, I'll also try to recruit an Alchemist to work for me. To achieve great things, I need an Alchemist. It's not possible without one."
Xu Meijing didn't have an Alchemist, but she had tasted the sweetness of having Feng Xiao's help and realized the importance of an Alchemist. If she had an Alchemist like Yang Haoran, her future path would be much smoother.
"My Alchemist is yours. If you need one, I can send Feng Xiao to help you at any time."
Yang Haoran smiled and said, but Xu Meijing refused, shaking her head.
"You should keep Feng Xiao by your side. She can still help you when you need it. As for me, I'll think of a way to find an Alchemist. If I don't even have this ability, I shouldn't have any ambitions."
