Chapter 454 (2/2)

Of the nineteen hundred participants, a total of five are like Jiu She in that they grasped hold of a grade one Deity Heart. Perhaps there’ll even be another two or three who were still concealing their strength? Xue Ying thought. I have no way of defeating any of those people. In most of the previous instances of the Myriad Flower Feast, people like them would always occupy the top few spots in the rankings.”

Alas, my goal is to become the disciple of a powerful existence, as well as accumulate some more experience and knowledge. If possible, I would also like to eat a Myriad Flower True Fruit. Xue Ying immersed himself in studying his opponents. Looks like the average combat power in this batch of opponents is quite high.

As he watched those scenes of past battles, he split the participants into categories according to their combat power. There were people he could not fight, some whom he could fight one-on-one, as well as a group of people he could easily defeat.

The Bloodshed God Palace would send every participant the intelligence reports on all of their opponents so that they would be aware of who they were about to go against. This would serve make the following battle that much more exciting. If a powerful expert were to go into a blind fight against a Deity with a grade one Deity Heart, their loss would simply be unfair.

“Xue Ying, Xue Ying,” a voice reached him from afar in the form of a transmission.

He turned over, only to see his wife walking over with a bald young man dressed in white robes. This youngster carried an exquisite aura about him, as if he could observe, and transcend, anything. His eyes were filled with endless might, as if they encompassed billions of worlds. Xue Ying instantly understood this person to be an ultimate expert on the same level as Monarch Mo Xue and the Calm Sea Prefecture Master.

“Disciple Brother Dong Bo.” The white-robed young man walked over to Xue Ying with a smile.

“Greetings, Disciple Brother Hui Ming.” Xue Ying stepped up to greet him.

“I’ve heard that, after teacher died, Crimson Rock Mountain fell into the Material World. It then conveniently received such a good disciple. Who could have known that you, Disciple Brother Dong Bo, would turn out to be this amazing,” the bald young man sang Xue Ying’s praises with a laugh. “Forefather Scarlet Flame let me know that, a while ago, you’ve used up half your soul for the sake of saving your wife. Even then, there’s still such great talent within you. The way I see it, it won’t be just one powerful existence who will want to receive you a disciple after the upcoming battle.”

“Disciple Brother is exaggerating,” Xue Ying replied humbly.

Jing Qiu stepped in, “Since Eldest Disciple Brother has come over to visit, I thought I’d bring him over straightaway.”

Seeing how both she and Xue Ying cultivated on Crimson Dust Island, they were naturally aware of Eldest Disciple Brother Hui Ming’s appearance.

“By the way, Disciple Brother, that enemy of ours who killed teacher is not a member of the Bloodshed God Palace, right?” Xue Ying asked. “Is there a chance I’ll accidentally become their disciple after the feast?”

“They are a powerful existence from the Temporal Island,” Hui Ming answered. “Had they been a powerful existence from the Bloodshed God Palace, Scarlet Flame would not have led you to participate in the Myriad Flower Feast.”

“Understood.” Xue Ying nodded.

The two of them continued chatting with each other, though an unseen undulation had enveloped their surroundings at some point.

These waves served to shield them from any spying or eavesdropping techniques, in a similar way to how that sack which Ancestor Black Wind obtained long ago prevented the Laws of Profound Mysteries from entering it. Powerful existences could transcend the Laws of the World, allowing them to easily refine such goods. Thus, it was not only Hui Ming or Xue Ying who owned such preventive treasures, but both of them.

Once they entered the influence of such treasures, not even the Temporal Temple could succeed in investigating their conversation. After all, the technique employed by the temple was ultimately just a reversal of time.

In the Deity world, when assassins kill, they would usually bring along such treasures so that others could not discover whom they were killed by.

“Teacher’s hatred concerns a powerful existence, so there’s no point in you thinking about it right now,” Hui Ming said. “It’s too distant a matter for you.”

“I understand. It’s not like teacher asked us to help him get revenge in any case.” Xue Ying laughed.

“Haha…” Hui Ming lightly nodded with a smile. “I envy you, Disciple Brother. Not only are you a Realm Lord, but you’re also accompanied by your true love. You even have your brothers and sisters following you along as you participate in the Myriad Flower Feast… Truth be told, I’m quite jealous of all that.”

Jing Qiu giggled from the side.

Xue Ying looked to his wife, and the two of them seemed to understand each other through their gazes. Both could feel the other’s love.

“I’m also very satisfied with my life,” Xue Ying said. What did it matter that one was unparalleled…if they were alone?
