Chapter 458 - Shocking Development (1/2)

Bai Yanqiong wanted to talk with Zhou Xuanji alone, so the two of them left Divine Cliff City and came to the peak of a mountain surrounded by fog.

They stood shoulder to shoulder as they looked into the distance, and there was silence at first.

Bai Yanqiong broke the silence and loudly laughed as he said, “Not bad. Back when I sensed that my daughter had formed a bloodline pact with someone, I immediately flew into a fit of anger. However, when I found out it was you, I was pleasantly surprised.”

In the current Nine Heaven Divine Snake Clan, there was not a single First Class Great Emperor.

He did not feel any pressure in leaving Bai Suwan to Zhou Xuanji, and the elders of the clan would not say anything.

Zhou Xuanji did not know what to say.

Why did it feel like Bai Yanqiong was marrying his daughter to him?

He did not have that kind of feeling towards Bai Suwan; he only treated her like a beloved pet.

Of course, he could not say such a thing.

Zhou Xuanji changed the topic and asked, “Where is the Nine Heaven Divine Snake Clan? I rarely hear about things related to your clan in the Center God Province.”

The Nine Heaven Divine Snake Clan could always be said to be a legend in the Center God Province, if not the entire Great Thousand World.

Bai Yanqiong smiled and said, “Above the 10th Heaven. If you have the opportunity, you can come to my clan as a guest. Your name has already spread to our clan, and many of our clanspeople want to meet you.”

Zhou Xuanji nodded calmly, but inwardly, he felt quite pleased.

He had reached such a level of fame?

“The Immortal Gods have built a god palace above the 9th Heaven. Soon, the Center God Province’s factions will be summoned by the Immortal Gods. Also, you must listen to that Heavenly Saint expound the Dao. If you’re able to, see if you can obtain an official position in the god palace,” Bai Yanqiong said as he glanced at him and said with a profound tone.

God palace?

Zhou Xuanji thought to himself.

He was wondering why the Immortal Gods had not appeared; so they were busy building a god palace.

He did not know if this god palace would be similar to the Imperial Court like in Chinese legends.

Following this, Bai Yanqiong talked to Zhou Xuanji about various things, such as discussing heroes of the world.

Zhou Xuanji also brought up the 18 Saint Swords.

Hearing this, Bai Yanqiong promised that he would help him find information on the 18 Saint Swords.

Only after two hours did they return to Zhou Xuanji’s residence.

Bai Yanqiong spoke with Bai Suwan for a bit before leaving.

Zhou Xuanji stood in front of the gate and thought to himself, “Rapid fluctuations? Is my luck turning around?”

Before, he had been suppressed by the Great Emperor Dao Court and the Demonic Emperor to the point that he could not breathe.

After the Heavenly Saint had appeared, he had gained a massive backer, and now he had also obtained the favour of the Nine Heaven Divine Snake Clan.

Now, he was comparable to the geniuses of the other factions and could fearlessly show his brilliance.

He could also stealthily take the Northern Wilderness under the Divine Cliff.

He started to miss his wife and daughter—especially Jiang Xue.

It was the first time that he had not seen her for so long.

That girl definitely also missed him.

Zhou Xuanji gave a faint smile, leapt onto the sea of clouds, and continued to cultivate.

In the past half a year, he had found a way to cultivate without being discovered by others.

Absorbing Heavenly Law Immortal Energy in the air was very dangerous, so he used Heavenly Law Immortal Energy to surround him, hiding his body and aura, becoming one with the heavens and earth. Even as a True God, Yang Yutian could not easily sense his existence.

…

If he could use this in battle, it would definitely become a killing move.

However, entering this state required time and focus. If he wanted to use it during battle, it would be suicide in his current state.

…

Above the Mysterious Tribulation Crater, the Dao Heaven Sect was just like it had always been, looking like an eternal kingdom in the sky.

A figure appeared on the cliff on the boundary of the Mysterious Tribulation Crater, looking up at the Dao Heaven Sect.

He was wearing a black robe with python patterns, and he wore a dragon crown with pearls on it. His figure was straight and tall, and his eyes were icy cold and bloodshot. As he looked up, he gave a vicious smile.
