Chapter 1441 - 44: Great Omen, Great Calamity (Part 2)
Although he was the first to ascend to the Yang God Realm, he was willing to humble himself.
Whether it was Xuan Jin or Jiang Huang.
He was willing to give up the "Throne" position to them.
In Wu Jiu’s view.
Only a peerless genius, seen once in a millennium, has the right to sit on this supreme throne and lead the Heavenly Phoenix Palace to greater heights!
Obviously, the throne now belongs to Jiang Huang.
At this age, having reached the Twentieth Yin God Realm and mastering the two supreme Great Daos of "Karmic Fire" and "Lotus," Jiang Huang’s talent far surpasses his own. She is a figure with the potential for "Harmonization," and the Heavenly Phoenix Palace will spare no effort in nurturing her. Wu Jiu is also willing to risk his life to ensure Jiang Huang’s safety.
"Brother Wu Jiu."
Jiang Huang slowly stood up.
She glanced in Wu Jiu’s direction and smiled, "Why are you here? Where is Master?"
She was meditating in the Phoenix Fire Cave Heaven.
Most of the time, she was accompanied by the Great Palace Master.
Now, with a brief moment of peace in the north and south, the Great Palace Master rarely goes out.
This period of enlightenment lasted for nearly a month, and upon opening her eyes, she noticed the key figure missing from the Phoenix Fire Cave Heaven.
"Master had an urgent matter and went out briefly a while ago," said Wu Jiu.
"Urgent matter?"
Jiang Huang raised an eyebrow, smiling, "What could be so important that it would require Master to personally go out?"
At this point.
Wu Jiu’s expression suddenly became serious. He raised a finger to his lips, cautiously whispering, "Shh... Master has already returned. I heard that on his return journey, there was a grand commotion, and the first thing he did upon returning to the Heavenly Phoenix Palace was to visit Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s Taoist Palace. From several miles away, you could hear the huge noise coming from the Taoist Palace. Some say the Great Palace Master was furious."
"Oh?"
Jiang Huang was even more intrigued and chuckled, "What mess did Chi Fu Dragon Lord make... I must go see!"
"Hey hey hey!"
Wu Jiu’s expression changed; he didn’t expect his casual remark to backfire.
Without a second word, Jiang Huang rolled up her sleeves and transformed into a stream of light, ready to dart out.
"Sis, you’re going to kill me..."
Wu Jiu was in agony and quickly stopped this young lady, "This is not the kind of excitement you should join."
It’s said that even three or four talisman formations could not stop the huge noise from Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s Taoist Palace!
What exactly did the Great Palace Master encounter outside to be so furious?
At this time...
Who dares to touch the Great Palace Master’s or Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s bad side?
"That’s not quite right... What excitement in the Heavenly Phoenix Palace can’t I join?"
Jiang Huang laughed, indifferent, "Whether you join me or not, it’s rare to see the Great Palace Master so angry in a century."
Outsiders may fear the Great Palace Master, but she does not.
The Great Palace Master is decisive outside, slaughtering without hesitation.
But he is especially kind to Jiang Huang.
He holds her dearly, afraid to even scold her.
This is the future successor brought back with difficulty from the Da Chu Dynasty, truly regarded by the elderly as a granddaughter, and even reluctant to give a slight reprimand.
"This..."
A bit encouraged by Jiang Huang...
Wu Jiu showed some emotion on his face.
To be honest, he was very curious too.
Since awakening, he had never seen the Great Palace Master angry.
Practicing for centuries, having stood at the pinnacle for so long, what significant events hasn’t the Great Palace Master witnessed? Even when the Sun Eater Venerable fell, he remained calm and collected.
"Let’s go, let’s go."
Without further ado, Jiang Huang dragged Wu Jiu towards Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s Taoist Palace.
...
...
"Bang!"
A loud noise erupted outside Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s Taoist Palace.
Chi Fu Dragon Lord, who was refining alchemy, was startled and quickly went out to meet the visitor. He had planned to head south to Lushui Cave Heaven today, but didn’t expect to see such a scene.
Outside the Taoist Palace.
A bronze stone pillar plunged heavily into the ground.
Near this Taoist Palace, green bamboo was planted abundantly, and the primordial energy was abundant.
But with the fall of the bronze pillar, the bamboo forest shattered instantly, and a driving gust of wind swept over the hundred zhang around the Taoist Palace, causing the tall bamboo to bow down.
"Great Palace Master..."
Chi Fu Dragon Lord cautiously raised his head.
Atop the bronze pillar stood an overwhelmingly fiery figure like the great sun, emanating an aura of majesty.
"Smack."
The Great Palace Master, without expression, leapt down from the bronze pillar.
"Chi Fu."
He crossed his arms behind his back and coldly said, "Guess what I saw in the [Ruins]?"
A few days prior.
The Great Palace Master, using the origin from Phoenix Fire Cave Heaven, casually cast a divination.
Unexpectedly.
The trigram was extremely rare, half auspicious, half ominous.
Having led the Heavenly Phoenix Palace for years, even the Great Palace Master hadn’t seen such a strange trigram... The last time such a trigram appeared was when Mo Zhen reached the Yang God Realm, during negotiations with the Heavenly Phoenix Palace. For the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, successfully appeasing and recruiting a genius like Cui Zhen would be a great auspice.
Failing in negotiations, however, would cause many troubles.
This bizarre trigram, in the Great Palace Master’s view, indicated the existence of a once-in-a-millennium Great Creation.
A single person’s divination carries uncertainty.
Therefore.
The Great Palace Master sought Chi Fu, confirmed the direction of the trigram, pointing to the extreme west, the [Ruins].
Thus...
The scene of the sword slicing the heavens was born.
It can be said that the encounter between Xie Xuanyi and the Great Palace Master was partly by chance and partly by fate.
"Are you... injured?"
Chi Fu Dragon Lord never expected such a sight; he cautiously examined the Great Palace Master.
The aura around the Great Palace Master was unstable...
It seemed he had been in a fight!
Given this.
Cold sweat seeped from Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s brow, and his shirt was quickly soaked.
This matter was truly terrifying.
Chi Fu Dragon Lord had accompanied the Great Palace Master for many years and knew too well the Great Palace Master’s strength...
He is one of only two strongest figures in today’s Demon Country, far ahead of all Great Cultivators in the Yang God Realm. No one is fit to cause the Great Palace Master to lose any primordial energy.
Only a strongest can contend with another strongest!
Who on earth has the ability to cause the Great Palace Master to expend so much primordial energy and Taoist Intent?
"Could it possibly be Zhao Chunyang?"
Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s voice was hoarse; he had heard that Zhao Chunyang from Lotus Peak was dead.
But this tale was hard to believe.
In the past hundred years, he had heard it no less than ten times.
"Heh."
The Great Palace Master let out a cold laugh, "I am not injured, nor did I encounter Zhao Chunyang... but you’re quite close."
Chi Fu Dragon Lord was startled.
"I encountered Zhao Chunyang’s excellent disciple, Xie Xuanyi."
The Great Palace Master continued, "This fellow already has the strength to contend with Great Cultivators of the Seventh Heaven..."
"!!!"
Chi Fu Dragon Lord stared at the Great Palace Master in disbelief.
The Seventh Heaven.
Xie Xuanyi had ascended for just a year and already possessed the strength to contend with the Seventh Heaven?
That is to say.
The primordial energy fluctuations around the Great Palace Master were all because of Xie Xuanyi?
"He is now only at the Fourth Layer of Heaven, but seems to be at a breakthrough stage at any moment."
The Great Palace Master lowered his eyes, coldly speaking, "Once he breaks through, with the strength of a Harmonizer, he could indeed engage in a fierce battle with the Seventh Heaven."
"You fought him..."
Chi Fu Dragon Lord felt a chill running down his spine; he couldn’t help but think of a more terrifying possibility.
If that divination were true.
Then encountering Xie Xuanyi should be "Auspicious."
Forget about the new, young Sect Leader of Da Sui Sword Palace, even if he truly ascended to the Fifth Heaven, he would be far from the Great Palace Master’s rival. Ordinarily, meeting each other would instantly decide the outcome... The Great Palace Master would not hold back.
But now, there was no sign of Xie Xuanyi’s remains.
The Great Palace Master’s expression was as dark as water; there was only one possibility.
"You guessed correctly."
The Great Palace Master stated without emotion, "I fought him... and he got away."
