523 The Sovereign’s Questioning (1/2)
Zhao Feng had arrived even before Prince Jin and the others from the Canopy Great Country. Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye still were back yet.
As soon as Zhao Feng landed, Deputy Patriarch Tiemo came out.
“How was the Tea Party?”
Tiemo asked.
To help Zhao Feng deal with the Three Eyed Saint, Tiemo had given a summary of the Golden Sun family’s Sacred Eye bloodline.
“Not bad.”
A smile appeared on Zhao Feng’s face as he talked about what happened at the Tea Party.
Tiemo was overjoyed after listening, “I didn’t think that the title of the continent’s strongest eye-bloodline would change because of you.”
Zhao Feng suddenly remembered that the Head of the Golden Sun family and their First Elder had chased him and were killed by Elder Assassination.
__
_Should I tell that to Tiemo?_
Just as Zhao Feng was hesitating, a voice sounded next to their ears, “Zhao Feng. Tiemo.”
_Patriarch Hong._
Zhao Feng’s heart jumped. He had almost forgotten who the true ruler of the Iron Blood Religion was.
A while later, Zhao Feng and Tiemo met Patriarch Hong in the underground palace.
Patriarch Hong’s face was ruddy and his aura was unfathomable.
His every action and movement seemed to resonate with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, and his intent was many times stronger than that of a True Lord Rank.
“Zhao Feng, I didn’t think that you could have defeated the Three Eyed Saint and taken the title of the continent’s strongest eye-bloodline.”
Patriarch Hong praised.
The Patriarch and the Deputy-Patriarch were extremely satisfied with Zhao Feng. It could be said that the youth who stood in front of them was the most talented eye-bloodline genius in the continent.
Even the Ten Major Forces would do their best to raise such a prodigy.
“Patriarch Hong, is there anything else you need?”
Zhao Feng inspected Patriarch Hong and found that his injuries were mostly healed.
Once this Sovereign reappeared, there would be no other voice in the Canopy Great Country.
“70-80% of my strength has recovered and I’ll go to the Sacred Alliance in a couple months. Have you thought about what I said last time?”
Patriarch Hong smiled and asked.
_What he said last time?_
Zhao Feng soon remembered what it was.
“Zhao Feng, joining the Three Saint Palace will be beneficial to both you and the Iron Blood Religion. You need to understand that the islands nearby, including the Azure Flower Continent, are ruled by the Three Saint Palace.”
Tiemo warned.
Hearing this, Zhao Feng started to hesitate and struggle.
Patriarch Hong and Tiemo looked at each other.
“Zhao Feng, do you have something that you can’t say?”
Patrarich Hong asked.
Zhao Feng then told them about the situation with Liu Quixin.
After hearing Zhao Feng’s explanation, both Patriarch Hong and Tiemo understood. Liu Qinxin was Zhao Feng’s fiancée, so it was reasonable that he would try to find the Sky Saint Qin Inheritance in the future.
“This Zhao Feng places a lot of importance on relationships….”
Patriarch Hong and Tiemo looked at each other and sighed.
In reality, there was another reason why Zhao Feng couldn’t decide on joining the Three Saint Palace, and that was because of Zhao Yufei and the Purple Saint Ruins.
Furthermore, he was interested in the Eight Great God Eyes that the Sage had talked to him about.
All of that meant that Zhao Feng couldn’t be restricted by any force.
“Zhao Feng, we won’t interfere in your decision, but you must be strong enough to leave this place and enter the outside world. You at least need to reach the half-step Origin Core Realm before you leave.”
Patriarch Hong said.
“Thank you for your pointers.”
Zhao Feng gratefully thanked him.
The two didn’t want Zhao Feng to risk his safety outside. It would be better if he stayed in the two-star Three Saint Palace.
However, they respected Zhao Feng’s decision.
A Lord Prodigy who surpassed the geniuses of dozens of generations might be different from everyone else.
Next, Patriarch Hong taught some common knowledge to Zhao Feng.
“In theory, a True Lord Rank is enough to cross the ocean and enter the outside world. That’s the lowest requirement.”
Patriarch Hong paused.
_True Lord Rank?_
Zhao Feng’s heart moved. There was only a small number of True Lord Ranks in the Canopy Great Country, and a strong country only had one or two.
This also meant that many of the beings here were restricted.
Furthermore, True Lord Rank was just the minimum requirement.
“The danger a normal True Lord Rank faces when going outside is quite high. Usually, only by reaching the half-step Origin Core Realm will the risk lessen a bit. Sovereigns are quite rare in the outside world and can safely roam around.”
Patriarch Hong explained.
In reality, Sovereigns frequently travelled to other islands, but those at the True Lord Rank wouldn’t unless they were led by a Sovereign.
For example, Patriarch Hong occasionally went to other islands nearby when he was at his peak.
Three days later, Patriarch Hong shocked the world with his Origin Core Realm cultivation.
Within half a month’s time, the news had stunned the entire upper echelon of the Canopy Great Country.
On a certain day, Patriarch Hong even went to give the Imperials a personal visit.
The Imperials were silent and had no objections anymore.
“From today onwards, Patriarch Hong will be the country’s Grand Duke. The Iron Blood Religion shall be the country’s religion. Being the Iron Blood Religion’s enemy shall mean becoming the enemy of the Imperials….”
The Emperor helplessly made this decision.
