I Have A Bunch Of Saint Apprentices

The people of the Five Great Sacred Grounds were all a little stunned by the question.    

"You are... a great figure from the Upper Realm, a lord of my family's ancestor."    

Among the crowd, an elder of the Sacred Grounds shouted respectfully.    

This answer was no different from nonsense, but it was also reasonable.    

The five Immortal Lords were figures from the Upper Realm, so this lord must have come from the Upper Realm.    

As people who had spent their lives in the Azure Wood Continent, it was impossible for them to know this great figure.    

Hearing the elder's answer, Shen Jun smiled and continued to speak, "Eight hundred years ago, dozens of young geniuses with heaven-defying aptitudes suddenly appeared on the Azure Wood Continent. No one knew where they came from, and no one knew which force they belonged to."    

"At that time, you all sent out countless spies to investigate their origins, but in the end, you all found nothing."    

As Shen Jun paced around, he slowly narrated a very vivid story.    

Among the hundreds of thousands of people present, Sun Wufan was naturally the first to react.    

What Master said was clearly the story before his lifespan ran out.    

Those dozens of young geniuses who appeared out of thin air were naturally his brothers and sisters.    

And at this time, as Shen Jun continued to narrate the story, some people from the Five Great Sacred Grounds finally reacted.    

Eight hundred years ago, something like this had indeed happened on the Azure Wood Continent.    

Dozens of geniuses with exceptional talent had appeared out of thin air.    

Their cultivation was not high, but any one of them was enough to completely crush their personal disciples, whom they were proud of.    

The most terrifying thing about inheritance was the lack of successors.    

Especially for these peak Holy Lands, the quality of the next generation's talent basically determined their status for thousands of years to come.    

These dozens of geniuses who had suddenly appeared were undoubtedly a great temptation to them.    

Faced with the initiative of a Holy Land, as long as one was a normal person, they would basically not refuse.    

But the reactions of these dozens of geniuses were very surprising.    

Without exception, they all straightforwardly rejected the invitation of the Holy Land and repeatedly claimed that they already had a master.    

But the nine great Holy Lands had checked eight times, and they still could not find out where they came from, let alone the specific master.    

Then, the nine great Holy Lands formed a tacit understanding.    

That was to snatch!    

If the soft ones could not do it, then they would do it the hard way.    

No matter if you were willing to work for the Holy Land or not, you had to snatch the person back first!    

Of course, snatching was not so easy.    

In order to prevent the nine great Holy Lands from maliciously competing with each other, the higher-ups had specially set a rule.    

The strongest subordinates sent out could only be Half Emperor.    

After the agreement was reached, a grand escape that covered the entire Azure Wood Continent began.    

In a short few decades.    

These geniuses with exceptional talent hid themselves from the pursuit of the Holy Lands. At the same time, their cultivation rose like a rocket!    

When they met them once a month, their cultivation might be one or two small realms lower.    

After receiving the report from their subordinates, the upper echelons of the Holy Lands were even more excited.    

Even the personal disciples whom they had placed high hopes on and invested countless resources in were not half as fast as them!    

Under such circumstances, an even more intense battle for talents began.    

The various Holy Lands invested even more manpower and began to capture these geniuses.    

Furthermore, all the families put on an imposing manner as if they would not give up until they got their hands on them.    

The reason was very simple.    

For these transcendent existences like the Nine Great Holy Lands, their only competitors were the other Holy Lands.    

It was fine if they couldn't get these geniuses.    

But they couldn't let the other Holy Lands get them either!    

Thus, for those geniuses who were unwilling to join their own Holy Lands, they simply issued a death order!    

If they couldn't get them, they would directly destroy them!    

Originally, they thought that with this, even if these geniuses were stubborn, they should obediently surrender.    

But who would have thought that they would simply disappear into thin air!    

Even with the powerful intelligence network of the Nine Great Sacred Grounds, they were unable to find any clues.    

In the next eight hundred years, this group of geniuses did not make any movements.    

They came and disappeared in the same way.    

Thinking about it now, if those youngsters had not died in the past, but had grown up to this day.    

Then they should have reached the Half Emperor or the Emperor Sovereign Stage, right?    

If they were a little luckier, it would not be strange for them to break through to the Great Emperor.    

However, the higher-ups of the Five Great Sacred Grounds were a little confused. Why would this lord from the Upper Realm know about such a trivial matter?    

Why did he mention it at this critical moment?    

Could it be that the mysterious geniuses of that time had something to do with this lord?    

That was not right either.    

In their eyes, those youngsters were treasures, but in the eyes of the lord from the Upper Realm, they were just ordinary people.    

It was impossible for dozens of people to be related to this lord.    

Seeing the many higher-ups of the Five Great Sacred Grounds' faces looking at each other with puzzled looks, Shen Jun couldn't help but sneer again. "Eight hundred years ago, you didn't find out who the master of those geniuses was, right?"    

"I'll tell you!"    

"Those youngsters who were chased around the entire continent by you are all my disciples!"    

After a furious roar, the higher-ups of the Five Sacred Grounds were stunned.    

"Sir, you... You must be joking, right? How... How is this possible?"    

"That's right, sir. Don't joke around with us. You are a big shot in the Upper Realm. How could you have anything to do with those youths from eight hundred years ago?"    

"Back then, most of those geniuses were only at the Heavenly Profound Stage. Some of them were even at the beginning of their cultivation. Sir, with your strength, how could you have such a weak disciple?"    

The upper echelons of the Holy Land who knew about the chase from eight hundred years ago hurriedly laughed.    

They really felt that Shen Jun was joking with them.    

Eight hundred years.    

It sounded like a long period of time.    

However, in the eyes of cultivators, especially those at a high level, it was just a matter of a snap of the fingers.    

They didn't even say anything about the Emperor Stage and False Immortal Stage.    

Even if it was a Half Emperor, it was not strange for him to be in seclusion for eight hundred years.    

"Do you think that I would play with you guys?" Shen Jun's tone suddenly changed, becoming incomparably cold!    

His eyes narrowed, and he looked at the upper echelons of the Holy Land like a hawk, continuing to say,    

"Do you still remember that there was a young man at the Vajra Stage among those geniuses who killed many of your experts?"    

"Back then, you organized many assassinations against me."    

Buzz!!    

The upper echelons of the five great Holy Lands immediately felt their brains buzzing, and their clothes were instantly drenched in cold sweat.    

Of course, they remembered the young man at the Vajra Stage.    

As for the assassination attempts that targeted me?    

Could it be that the young man in front of me was the lord in front of me?!    

The upper echelons of the Holy Land, who were usually eloquent, could not say a single word at this moment.    

Shen Jun could not be bothered to waste his breath on these enemies.    

"All of you, make your move!"    

Shen Jun turned to look at the five Immortal Lords at the side and mercilessly gave the order to kill!
