Chapter 1045 - Formally accepting a Teacher; Getting bestowed with treasures (1/2)

Translator: Chaos_  Editor: Chaos_

The Southern Cloud Nation would be conferring a new King.

This was a huge affair in the nation. Many higher-ups from the Aristocratic Marquis clans were heading towards the capital. Even Conferred Marquis and Conferred Kings would send their true bodies or incarnations over.

On the day of the ceremony.

“Go. We will be meeting the King.”

Old Mother Ying Shan and Xue Ying were both seated on the carriage. There were a total of nine Black Magic Dragons pulling it. Every Magic Dragon was a Magic Servant that could unleash strength at the ninth level–they were all more precious than Magic Servant Zi Bai! A total of nine Magic Dragons pulling the carriage… only the king had the wealth to carry this out in the entire Southern Cloud Nation.

After all, a single Magic Dragon would require a Conferred King like Old Mother Ying Shan to sell all her treasures.

The King himself was even considered one of the wealthiest across the entire Realm Heart Great Land.

…

The King himself had personally sent his carriage to pick up Xue Ying. Both Xue Ying and Old Mother Ying Shan soon arrived before the royal palace and into the cultivation ground which the King usually meditated at.

Usually, only significant affairs would be held within the royal palace.

Ordinary private matters would be held personally in Southern Cloud King’s meditating cultivation ground. One could see that he had treated Xue Ying as his own people already.

“Hou~”

The nine Magic Dragons roared and charged down directly. They soon slowed down after reaching the ground.

Xue Ying and Old Mother Ying Shan left the carriage. The carriage then disappeared at the next moment as the dragons immediately swam away deep towards a mountain peak covered by a cold white fog behind Southern Cloud King.

“King.”

Xue Ying and Old Mother Ying Shan both respectfully bowed.

This was Xue Ying’s first time seeing the Southern Cloud King. The Southern Cloud King wore a luxurious golden gown. He was thin and sat cross-legged on the black grass field. Even though he was thin, he seemed to be of one entity with the surrounding void, causing others to feel reverence and subservient towards him.

‘He is truly a legendary character.’ Xue Ying understood that an expert who wasn’t part of the six great ancient nations could still cultivate to this stage without having any secret impartations and relied merely on a great secret treasure. The Southern Cloud King had even created a religion that was ranked in the top ten, spreading it across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. He was so rich that it reached a stage that the old ancestors from the six great ancient nations were green with envy. They once acted against the Southern Cloud King before, yet to no avail.

Of the ten great religions, eight came from the six great ancient nations.

And those that weren’t from the six great ancient nations, one was the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion, and the other was the ‘Sky Sword Sect’ that the Sky Sword King personally created.

Sky Sword King was also a legendary character that ruled an era. But he was not as firm and unyielding like the Southern Cloud King. Instead, a considerable amount of his cosmos crystals were presented to the Summer Wind Ancient Nation and Myriad Realms Ancient Nation. Only then could his ‘Sky Sword Sect’ spread so rampantly. Furthermore, the degree of its propagation was slightly more formidable than the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion. Ultimately, he was squeezed dry by the two great ancient nations, and his wealth was naturally incomparable to that of the Southern Cloud King.

That time, the Southern Cloud King could resist against waves of enemies targeting him before stabilizing his position. Over the long years, his foundation naturally became unfathomable. Of course, he had remained low-profile and befriended many other cultivators across the origin world. How powerful he was currently was still kept a mystery.

“I am curious why you chose me to be your teacher and not Ancestor Fan?” Southern Cloud King chuckled. There were also five other figures standing behind him now–they were the five disciples of Southern Cloud King. All of them were looking at Xue Ying curiously. Ancestor Fan wanted to take him as a disciple? Yet this Xue Ying declined the other party?

“I want to learn the avatar technique as soon as possible.” Xue Ying directly answered.

“Avatar technique?”

Southern Cloud King softly nodded.

The other five senior disciple brothers and sisters had differing thoughts when they heard this.

‘Avatar technique is also the most apex survival secret techniques in the entire Realm Heart Great Land. It is indeed not easy to learn it. Nevertheless, Teacher is willing to directly impart it to his disciples.’

‘He indeed has a cautious character.’

‘Is it because he is afraid of death? Hmph, I bet he is afraid he might die before becoming a Cosmos God within the Fan Clan and could not learn the avatar technique by then?’

They had unique thoughts.

But the Southern Cloud King was merely curious. He did not heed Xue Ying’s reasons. He was unlike that Ancestor Fan who would choose disciples based on his mood. Instead, the Southern Cloud King desired to have more capable subordinates. After all, stabilizing the Southern Cloud Nation or spreading the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion both required formidable experts.
