Chapter 1503 - 495: The Exalted One
After separating from Fang Xuanxuan, Huang Xiaolong flew back to Dragon Tiger Palace.
Fang Xuanxuan stood there, watching Huang Xiaolong leave, and only when his figure disappeared, did she feel an inexplicable sense of loss.
Her eyes were full of complexity.
A few minutes later, she too took flight.

Not long after Fang Xuanxuan and Huang Xiaolong left, several people flew out of a distant palace, with the leader being none other than Sun Shihai. Behind him were Liu Qin, Fu Feiyu, Zhou Wen, and a few other Inner Sect disciples of the Creation Emperor Palace.
Sun Shihai looked in the direction Huang Xiaolong left, his eyes somewhat gloomy.
Although the apprentice ceremony had passed for over a decade, the scenes from that day remained vivid in his memory, rather than fading.
Whether it was being defeated by Wang Yongsen in one move during the ceremony, or Huang Xiaolong transforming into an Ancient Divine Dragon to defeat Wang Yongsen, or the congratulations Huang Xiaolong received from the powerhouses of the Emperor Palace, it was all a humiliation to him!
"I didnât expect that Huang Xiaolong has already broken through to the Ancestor God Tenth Order Late Stage Peak," Fu Feiyu said with emotion, looking in the direction Huang Xiaolong left.
He remembered that during the new disciple assessment, Huang Xiaolong was only at the Ancestor God Early Stage Peak.
And now, just over a decade later.
This speed! Truly worthy of being the Supreme King!
Upon hearing this, Sun Shihaiâs face turned even sourer.
Liu Qin nudged Fu Feiyu and then flattered Sun Shihai, saying, "That Huang Xiaolong only cultivated so quickly because of the Creation Divine Fruits and the resources of the Creation Emperor Palace. Iâve heard that the palace he stays in within the Creation God Country has the highest concentration of spiritual energy. If not for that, he probably wouldnât even be at the Ancestor God Tenth Order Late Stage now. His so-called Supreme King is nothing special compared to Junior Master Sun."
Fu Feiyu realized his mistake and quickly added, "Yes, yes, even if heâs at the Ancestor God Tenth Order Late Stage Peak now, for him to break through to the God King Realm, I reckon itâll take five to six hundred years. By then, Junior Master Sun would have already broken through to the middle-level God King."
At these words, Sun Shihaiâs expression finally improved a bit.
"You really donât know how to flatter me. Huang Xiaolongâs speed in cultivating from the Ancestor God Tenth Order Early Stage Peak to the Late Stage Peak in just over a decade is indeed extraordinary, something I canât achieve," Sun Shihai said calmly. "However, I will definitely break through to the middle-level God King before he reaches the God King Realm!"
He vowed!
By then, he would definitely erase the shame!
"With Senior Brother Sunâs Supreme Talent, breaking through to the middle-level God King is a simple matter, probably just a matter of two or three hundred years,"
"I heard that the Heaven battle is going to be held earlier this time. If it takes place two or three hundred years from now and Huang Xiaolong hasnât broken through to the God King Realm yet, he wonât even qualify to participate. Our Creation Emperor Palace will still have to rely on Junior Master Sun to win the competition."
The other Inner Sect disciples all chimed in.
"Alright, I need to see my master, you all go back to cultivate," Sun Shihai waved to Liu Qin and Fu Feiyu.
They responded and left one after another.
Sun Shihai flew back to the Creation God Country, heading to Zhou Chenâs cultivation palace. Every few days, Sun Shihai would visit Zhou Chenâs palace to pay his respects.
Zhou Chen looked at Sun Shihai standing in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. Over the past decade, he had noticed Sun Shihaiâs efforts.
Subsequently, Zhou Chen asked about Sun Shihaiâs recent cultivation progress, correcting and advising him one by one, and sharing his own cultivation experiences.
Finally, Zhou Chen said, "The Heaven battle this time will probably be advanced by a thousand years. In this thousand years, you must strive hard in cultivation. I will do my utmost to help you break through to the Sixth or even Seventh Rank. If you perform well in the Heaven battle, both I and the Creation Emperor Palace will reward you handsomely."
Sun Shihai respectfully agreed.
"How are things with Peng Xiao now?" Zhou Chen asked with a smile.
Both were revered as golden children, both Supreme Geniuses. In Zhou Chenâs eyes, they were a match made in heaven, and he naturally hoped they would be together.
Upon hearing this, Sun Shihai hesitated for a moment and said, "For the past decade, Junior Sister Peng Xiao often went to Dragon Tiger Palace with the second young miss, hardly paying attention to me." Here he paused.
Zhou Chen frowned.
Dragon Tiger Palace?
Isnât that Huang Xiaolongâs palace compound?
Although Sun Shihai didnât explicitly state it, Zhou Chen could sense his resentment towards Huang Xiaolong.
Zhou Chen sighed inwardly.
At this moment, Sun Shihai spoke again, "Master, that Huang Xiaolong, relying on his status, actually brought his woman from the branch directly to the Creation Emperor Palace and blatantly had her arranged in a palace compound. If this gets out, how will people view our Creation Emperor Palace? And how will the other disciples of the Creation Emperor Palace perceive this?"
Zhou Chen understood Sun Shihaiâs implication. He shook his head and said, "This matter was personally approved by the Sect Leader, so I cannot hold Huang Xiaolong accountable for it. Besides, you should also understand Huang Xiaolongâs current status and position in the Creation Emperor Palace. I know you harbor resentment toward Huang Xiaolong. If youâre unsatisfied, then outdo him in strength and suppress him. Therefore, I hope that during the Heaven battle, you will outperform him and be more dazzling."
Sun Shihai was startled for a moment, then his eyes filled with determination: "Yes, please rest assured, Master."
A while later, Sun Shihai saluted respectfully and left.
Not long after Sun Shihai left, suddenly, a gigantic face appeared above Zhou Chenâs palace. This massive face emanated radiant light, obscuring its features, but exuded immense power, enveloping Zhou Chenâs entire palace.
Zhou Chen was taken aback, then respectfully bowed: "Greetings, Supreme One!"
The enormous face nodded slightly and said, "How is the task I assigned you progressing?"
Zhou Chen replied respectfully: "To report to the Supreme One, for these years, Fang Qian has always carried the Creation Divine Artifact with him, so I havenât had any opportunity to use it." Saying this, he appeared somewhat anxious.
"Then continue to handle it, remember to be cautious and not expose your identity, at least not now." the giant face instructed.
Zhou Chen felt relieved and responded respectfully: "Yes, rest assured, Supreme One." After a pause, he added, "Supreme One, should we...?" accompanying it with a gesture to eliminate.
The giant face shook its head: "Iâve heard about that Huang Xiaolong too, we donât need to act. The Evil God Emperor Palace will, even if the Evil God Emperor Palace doesnât take action, Huang Xiaolong poses no threat to our clanâs plan in two or three thousand years, he still wonât be able to grow sufficiently."
"Yes, Supreme One." Zhou Chen responded respectfully, then said: "Currently, there are rumors that this Heaven battle will be advanced."
The giant face sneered coldly: "That Heaven Emperor thinks that advancing the Heaven battle and recruiting geniuses can deal with our clan? Ridiculous. However, it seems heâs somewhat sensed our clanâs upcoming actions, which is why heâs advancing the Heaven battle. Nonetheless, whatever he speculates makes no difference, he canât change anything."
Subsequently, the giant face gave Zhou Chen some further instructions before disappearing.
Zhou Chen relaxed entirely. (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, youâre welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
