Chapter 557 - The World Was Shaken. (1/2)
The depressed Wanshen Great Thousand was brightened up by Emperor Sword Court. Everyone had forgotten the wrath of the Heavenly Saints and focused on the Sword Emperor and his sect.
Help the world with the sword. Save all lives in the world with the sword!
The Sword Emperor promised to protect Wanshen Great Thousand. This was like a declaration of war against the Heavenly Saints. For most of the living beings in Wanshen Great Thousand who could not escape, he was their hope.
But the other factions did not think so.
More and more enemies attacked Emperor Sword Court to weaken Zhou Xuanji or kill him straight away.
But soon, they realized that Zhou Xuanji grew more powerful as he fought.
Not long ago, Zhou Xuanji broke through to Universe Heaven Level Sixteen in the eyes of all his disciples. He did not even have to overcome any heavenly tribulation, which awed everyone.
This became a legend among the people.
Most living beings thought that it was merely a rumor.
This day.
The Great Dao’s Voice continued, while Zhou Xuanji gave pointers on the Sword’s Way or Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, and the others.
As Emperor Sword Court grew more powerful, the initial disciples would surely be overridden. This is because many of the disciples that joined from the Great Thousand World had a greater foundation. Many of these disciples already had much higher cultivation than Xiao Jinghong and the rest when they joined.
Because of this, Zhou Xuanji tried his best to raise the older generation of disciples.
As for the new disciples, he had not arranged any duties to give the older disciples some time.
What he did made a good impression in the old disciples’ hearts.
Actually, these disciples were already very grateful toward him.
If not for him, these disciples may not even reach the Upper Realm during their lifetimes.
As long as they could follow Zhou Xunaji, they were alright with any treatment.
The worst treatment in the Upper Realm was better than the best in the mortal realm.
Dozens of Miles away.
Qiu Hu stood on a peak, gazing at Zhou Xuanji. With a tight frown, his body trembled slightly.
“What’s happening… Why does he make me feel dangerous? Could it be because of Demon God Tianwu?” he mumbled to himself with a peculiar expression.
He wanted to kill Zhou Xuanji straightaway. But as he drew closer to Zhou Xuanji, he instinctively sensed danger and dared not to go closer.
“Hold on. He has the aura of another Demon God… How could it be!”
Qiu Hu eyes widened, and he was aghast.
At this moment, Zhou Xuanji turned to look at him, which gave him such a shock that he disappeared on the spot.
Ten thousand miles away.
Qiu Hu landed on a hill and was greatly shaken.
He breathed rapidly and said with gritted teeth, “Foolish! Such a fool!”
He was not cursing Xuan Daoya but the leaders of Great Emperor Dao Court.
They allowed Zhou Xuanji to grow until now.
Fortunately, he was not reckless.
Taking a deep breath, he turned and left.
Fullspeed ahead, he disappeared in the horizon.
…
Seven days later.
Qiu Hu came to the old immortal’s temple.
He knelt before the gate and said, “Senior, I encountered someone called Zhou Xuanji. He is in possession of two ancient Demon Gods. Could you help me divine his background?”
His tone was respectful, totally different from the way he spoke to Xuan Daoya.
The old immortal’s voice came from the temple, “He’s destined to become a Saint. An Overlord Saint that I spoke to you about.”
These words shook Qiu Hu. His face was filled with disbelief.
Overlord Saint!
That was impossible!
Even the Ten Demon Gods could not do it, yet that brat could?
His heart sped up, and a chill traveled down his spine.
“At the same time, he’s also the person I’ve chosen to depart from the control of the Heavenly Law,” the old immortal said again. Qiu Hu looked up suddenly.
Zhou Xuanji was…
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
“I see,” he said with gritted teeth, “I know what I must do.”
After that, he bowed respectfully toward the temple and left.
…
The sky above the grass plain was clear and bright.
