Chapter 780 - Title Palace
The news that Young Master Shenji had been killed spread quickly around the Three Middle Realms.
Like last time, it created a great disturbance, because it was a heroic undertaking that Jiang Chen, a Celestial Venerable in the preliminary stage, had killed one in the late stage, and he was also a follower of the Martial Sovereign.
It suddenly dawned on people why Jiang Chen was so great. A Martial Sovereign’s follower certainly had to be great.
Jiang Chen didn’t try to clarify this misunderstanding. He even preferred that others saw him this way. This way, he would have a justifiable reason if he exerted some method or secret skill in the future.
There were less than three months left to go until the Title Battle. Jiang Chen had just become a Celestial Venerable. Since he needed more time to get used to his new strength, he wouldn’t make any big improvements for the moment.
As a result, he wasn’t very confident about the Title Battle.
It wasn’t Jiang Zhe or his other future rivals that made him unconfident—he was just afraid that he wouldn’t be the most brilliant star in the Title Battle. Since his apprentice sister could show up, Jiang Chen needed this confidence, even if it was false.
However, for practitioners, the titles conferred by the Title Palace mattered more, like titles such as Sword King, Sword God, and Sword Saint. It wasn’t just for fun that people were so keen on getting these titles.
The force to which the Title Palace had belonged was the oldest and most powerful before the start of the Nine Realms. Its remains could still be found all over the Nine Realms.
Those who had those titles would get instructions similar to a map that would take them to explore the remains. The more advanced one’s titles were, the more detailed the instructions were.
All of the forces hoped their disciples would be titled, and the Eight Spirits even offered all kinds of privileges to titled practitioners.
Since the Title Palace existed to confer titles to up-and-coming youngsters, only people whose state was below great Venerable could take part in it. What Yang Jingchi told Jiang Chen was more or less the same as what he had already known.
However, Yang Jingchi thought it was thanks to him that Jiang Chen had learned about the Title Battle so well.
“If you can win a top-grade title, your name will be known throughout the whole Three Middle Realms. No one will doubt your abilities anymore,” Yang Jingchi said.
“Hopefully,” Jiang Chen said, smiling. However, he had as much wildness in his eyes as other youngsters.
