“The decision lies with you. I won’t force you either way.” Palace Head Chen nodded.

Xue Ying hesitantly said, “Palace Head Chen, actually, the Deity warrior I am currently carrying is no longer required! Considering my current ability, I can survive even without it. I’ll first borrow this Deity Warrior for my disciple sister Jing Qiu to use. Is that alright?”

“It’s fine; it’s fine.” Palace Head Chen laughed. “I truly don’t know what to say about the two of you… if your disciple sister Jing Qiu becomes a Demigod in the future, I think her combat power won’t be any worse than yours! She might even surpass you if you don’t work hard enough in the future!”

“Oh?” Xue Ying was startled. “She’ll become stronger than me if I don’t keep working hard? Jing Qiu, she…”

He hadn’t noticed it.

Although Jing Qiu was quite talented in terms of cultivation, she couldn’t be considered particularly outstanding!

“As soon as she becomes a Demigod, she will be able to control the strongest clan protection treasure of my Xia Clan!” Palace Head Chen hid nothing from him. “At that point, her combat power will be enough to suppress any other Demigod. She might even match the might of a Deity!”

“The strongest clan protection treasure? Ancestor Snow?” Xue Ying was truly stunned this time. He had previously seen the Xia Clan’s records regarding their strongest clan protection treasure.

“Mn.” Palace head Chen nodded. “Therefore, one of the protective treasures I had previously given her was actually a Deity warrior as well! Though, Jing Qiu herself does not yet know of its existence.”

Xue Ying let out a breath of relief.

That was good.

The same way that a Deity Warrior was hidden within one of the treasures given to him by Palace Head Chen that year, Jing Qiu also had one with her.

“Ancestor Snow?” Xue Ying was still surprised by that.

He would depend on his comprehension of True Meanings in order to sweep through every other Demigod, reaching the pinnacle of the Xia Clan’s World! At that point, he might even have the combat power to match ordinary Deities!

Meanwhile, Jing Qiu would depend on the strongest clan protection treasure of the Xia Clan! With its terrifying power… she would similarly suppress anyone else for an entire generation!

“You must continue working hard; otherwise, you will just stand there ashamed as your woman overtakes you,” joked Palace Head Chen.

“It wouldn’t be shameful!” Xue Ying’s mood was quite pleasant at the moment.

“You should also help her and not delay her cultivation! Although my Xia Clan is secretly giving her plenty of resources, becoming a Demigod is still too difficult,” said Palace Head Chen. “She won’t be able to use the Deity weapon unless she becomes a Demigod.”

“I understand.”

Xue Ying was now truly reassured. With a Deity warrior secretly protecting her, she would no longer be in any danger while chasing after traces of demons!

“Palace Head Chem, I would like to learn more of the Black Wind Deity Palace as well as its owner!” Xue Ying suddenly asked. With his current combat power, he would have a greater chance of success. Naturally, he wanted to go visit the Black Wind Deity Palace.

“The Black Wind Deity Palace?” Palace Head Chen was stunned for a moment before reacting in a flash. “Oh. You mean the Black Wind Deity Palace that’s close to your Snowrock Castle? If I recall correctly, the place you fell into before becoming a Legend ranker was precisely the Black Wind Abyss, right?”

Xue Ying nodded.

“No wonder you are so curious about it. Why do you plan to break through the palace?” Palace Head Chen asked.

“I would like to try. I heard that even by now, no Transcendent has ever managed to succeed,” answered Xue Ying.

“Right.” Palace Head Chen continued, “There have been many Transcendents who tried their luck. Yet even after countless tens of thousands of years since its establishment by Ancestor Black Wind, not a single Transcendent has managed to succeed!”

“The arrays left behind couldn’t be broken by anyone even though he’s dead?” The Xue Ying of that year was quite ignorant. He now understood a bit more about how powerful the Black Wind Palace Head was! Even a Xia Clan Demigod mage could leave behind a set of arrays in a Deity Palace which would cause Transcendents to be helpless for a few tens of thousand of years.

Palace Head Chen laughed. “Although it is kind of humiliating, Ancestor Black Wind was indeed a very powerful Demigod mage! If he were alive now, he could also suppress any other existence for a generation. His combat power was much stronger than Mountain Lord He’s, and his achievements in many different areas such as spells, arrays and refiner puppets were very high. Still, you should try it. Then you will also understand how hard it is to break through the palace.”

“I have seen the records on Ancestor Black Wind, and he had only grasped hold of a grade three True Meaning. How could he be so powerful? Although, having read through it carefully, am I right to have noticed that certain aspects were only briefly noted?” asked Xue Ying.

“He was a mage. Even among True Meanings of similar grades, there are different levels of utilization of the Laws of Profound Mysteries in their spells, which results in displays of power at varying levels. Ancestor Black Wind was a truly capable mage! Only briefly noted? That’s because various miraculous opportunities in his life allowed him to attain a combat power that nobody could compete with. Still, in the end, he could not become a Deity. As a result, he did something truly crazy in an attempt to increase his combat power. But some of his actions relate to the secrets of our Xia Clan, so those parts were censored,” explained Palace Head Chen.

“And you can’t tell me about it?” Xue Ying asked.

“No,” said Palace Head Chen.

Xue Ying curled his lips.

He had done a truly crazy thing?

What exactly was it that even with his current status, Palace Head Chen would still not tell him?
