988 Meeting Of The Heavyweights (2/2)
Gao Lan stood proudly on the side with his hands behind his back as he overlooked the land of Beizhou. Han Guang stared up upon the skies with solemn eyes as if he was thinking about a very difficult problem, and beside them was a blue-robed priest sitting cross-legged. His face was smooth as his beard was half black and half white, he was the solemn and dignified Priest of Destiny. The Priest of Destiny who took in the Killing Priestess, Sa Ren Po Wa, the Priest of Destiny who saw that Meng Qi had the Five Colors Birth Chart!
”It has been a year since we last bade farewell. How are you, sir?” Meng Qi's aura suddenly became profound as if it had become innocent. He instantly broke free from Gu Erduo's Qi Ji as he moved in front of the Priest of Destiny.
”He also possesses the Dharmakaya?”
The Priest of Destiny shook his head and said, ”Not good at all. It is my destiny to be tired as I rush about everywhere.”
His tone was flat and calm, without any fluctuations as if he had experienced vicissitude and had finally seen through worldly affairs. His sharpness had been dulled as he reached a certain degree of tranquility.
”Sir, you are an extraterrestrial being, I thought you wouldn't be going to Golden Turtle Island,” Meng Qi said casually.
The Priest of Destiny sighed and said, ”It is destiny. How could I escape?”
Near them, Gao Lan returned his gaze and looked at Han Guang. He then said, ”The cloud stairways are connected, and the rays of light piercing through the clouds and the cluster of clouds correspond to each other, Golden Turtle Island looks like the work of the Celestial Ruler, the ambition is not small.”
Han Guang smiled and said in a self-ridiculing manner, ”The number of people interested in taking the Celestial Ruler's seat in the entire world is not limited to just me.”
He looked carefree as if he was not bothered at all.
...
When the Night Emperor Huo Lishang arrived on the fairy ship sent by Golden Turtle Island, he noticed that there were already three Dharmakayas on board.
On the left, Yin Master Xu Bei was completely covered in a black robe, his figure was blurry and distorted as if he would disperse at any time under the sun. On the right, the Red Emperor Su Chuci, who had fought with him once, was admiring the beauty of the seven seas happily. He wore a fiery long robe as he had a bright charm on his face as if the sun was rising in the East.
In the middle, a plainly dressed woman, with her back facing him, wore a dress that was fluttering in the wind as she looked just like a fairy that was about to fly away with the wind.
Upon seeing this woman, Huo Lishang's heartbeat beat a few beats faster. Ever since he became a Dharmakaya, he had only lost completely twice in the years he traveled across the seven seas. The first was given to him by Lord Taiyi Han Guang while the other was in the hands of this woman. He almost lost his Dharmakaya status and returned to being a common man.
Every time he remembered this, he would harbor more fear towards this plainly-dressed woman. Even if he really liked this type of beauty, he dared not get close.
The plainly-dressed woman was the lord of the Island of the Three Clouds, the leader of the five elders of the Heavenly Way Alliance, and a supreme being half a step away from being a divine fairy, the Primeval Deity Bi Jingxuan. Based on rumors, she had in her possession a frightening ancient magic weapon, but no one had ever seen her use it before.
Bi Jingxuan did not turn around as she seemed to be carefully assessing the cabin of the fairy ship. The Night Emperor walked past her from the left subconsciously.
”Childe Lishang, how have you been?” the Yin Master greeted.
Huo Lishang's smile was clean when he said, ”So far, I'm fine. It's going to be hard to say after the Golden Turtle banquet. I wonder if fellow Xu has anything to teach me?”
”You are a secret member of the Golden Turtle Island, you should have some inside information, no?”
Yin Master stared profoundly at the Night Emperor, ”Childe Lishang is strong and has achieved so much, you can turn rocks to gold with a touch, and you possess great might comparable to the legends, what is there to be afraid of?”
”The most mysterious person and the one who most requires attention for this operation is you!”
”That's not me…” Huo Lishang's smile was suddenly a bit stiff.
”How could I have such capability!”
”I wonder if I'll be able to meet him, Lord Taiyi Han Guang, again in the future?”
...
The fairy ship was embraced by clusters of clouds as it reached the Golden Turtle Island. The thick mist of the island dispersed as an ancient building appeared. The building had many totems of swallows drawn on it.
As the saying goes, ”The swallow of destiny descended and gave birth to commerce.”
