CHAPTER 907: CHAPTER 363: PROMOTION

"I was originally worried that my junior brother would be lured by this inheritance and wealth onto the crooked path, but unexpectedly, my junior brother let it go just as he said he would. It shows my junior brother’s Dao heart is firm, not an average person at all. I admire him,"

thought Chu Xisheng, who silently mused, "Who said I gave up?"

With all that wealth in the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace, and the Decree Divine Artifact Chu Yunyun mentioned, how could he possibly let it go?

He still had to compete.

It’s just that the contestant was someone else.

The treasure of the Divine Turtle Wanderer, falling into the hands of Lu Luanli and Chu Yunyun, was it not equivalent to falling into his own hands?

Otherwise, why would he have had Luanyi suppress her cultivation a few months ago?

Originally, Chu Xisheng had placed his bet on Lu Luanti, but didn’t expect the changes in the rules of the Cloud Sea Heavenly Palace, giving Chu Yunyun hope of seizing the Heavenly Palace as well.

However, these little thoughts of his didn’t need to be explained.

Chu Xisheng then pressed down on the center of that basin-shaped magic artifact.

Instantly, the basin-like artifact unfolded.

The layers of metal sheets bloomed like a flower, ultimately revealing a cup of purplish-red medicine liquid before Chu Xisheng.

The medicine liquid didn’t look very appealing, and its color seemed somewhat strange.

Bubbles kept rising above the medicine liquid, and each time a bubble burst, slight illusions appeared before Chu Xisheng’s eyes.

Simultaneously, a clear medicinal fragrance quickly spread throughout the entire hall.

—This was precisely the Fifth Rank Lower secret medicine prepared for him by the Formless Divine Sect.

All the materials, including the main ingredient, were top-notch and already perfectly concocted.

Chu Xisheng did not consume it immediately.

He first took a drop to confirm that the secret medicine indeed contained the highest quality materials, then picked up the copper cup, drinking the entire medicine.

In just an instant, the secret medicine dissolved within his body.

Countless blood flames erupted from his five senses and seven orifices, even from every pore.

His blood marrow also began to burn.

The power of the secret medicine was impacting and destroying the seals and curses deep within his blood marrow.

During Chu Xisheng’s breakthrough, Chu Yunyun was gazing at the stele before her, lost in contemplation.

These two magic techniques are not as simple as Ji Qianqian described.

Just like the ’One Word Becomes a Proverb’ technique, it’s certainly not merely the word-spirit decree.

The word ’Proverb’ contains the meaning of admonition and advice, also reads as ’Needle’, meaning stitch and seal. As the name implies, it integrates word-spirit, decree, and sealing skills.

And the ’Heavenly Punishment Thunderstorm’, which appears to be a retaliatory technique accompanying ’One Word Becomes a Proverb’, contains the force of the Heavenly Cutting Dao. As long as they cultivate their magic to Fourth Grade, they can use the Heavenly Punishment Thunder to sever everything.

These two techniques, besides sealing, also contain powerful decree Dao. It is unknown whether they are related to that Divine Artifact within the Immortal Palace?

Chu Yunyun couldn’t help but shake her head.

This ’One Word Becomes a Proverb’ and ’Heavenly Punishment Thunderstorm’ are rooted in decree and punishment, forcibly incorporating sealing skills.

The entire magical technique’s structure is somewhat forcibly pieced together.

However, the Divine Turtle Wanderer’s expertise in magic is unmatched. Not only did he merge them, but he also made considerable improvements.

At least these two spells don’t show any apparent flaws to her.

However—

A glimmer of light flashed through Chu Yunyun’s ice-blue eyes.

She could improve and perfect them further, having confidence in amplifying the divine might by an additional twenty percent on the existing foundation.

At this moment, no one noticed Ji Qianqian, already seated in a corner of the great hall, staring at her sleeve with a complicated gaze.

Hidden within her sleeve was a small triangular flag about a foot long.

Just now, the triangular flag had been gently vibrating.

The bitterness in Ji Qianqian’s eyes gradually faded, and her gaze turned cold and sharp.

She lifted her head, looking towards the silhouette of Chu Xisheng.

※※※※

At the same time, outside the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace.

A lean and tall youth, clad in black and with his face covered, stood upon the ice, looking up at the illusory Immortal Palace above.

Behind him stood seven other individuals, all similarly masked and dressed in black.

One among them, a rotund white fat man, whose belly was as round as a ball, sighed in admiration, "This One Sword Overturning City indeed lived up to once being a match for the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord. Look at the ice here; it shows no signs of melting. She is almost deriving the Eternal Dao through the Cold Ice Skill.

Why has such a brilliant and exceptional figure yet to break through to super-grade? Is the super-grade truly that difficult? And that Divine Turtle Wanderer is no ordinary person either. If not for the interference of the Chan Sect, no one in this era would know that the treasures coveted by the Heavenly Gods are hidden within his Cloud Sea Immortal Palace."

He then looked at the lean and tall youth, "Well? Have you made contact?"

"We’ve made contact,"

the lean and tall youth raised his hand, revealing a compass held in his palm to the others behind him.

"She told us to stay calm and wait for the right moment."

"Wait for the right moment?" one of the black-robed individuals snorted coldly, "Their team has only one at Fourth Grade Upper. The rest, including Chu Xisheng, have cultivation levels not up to Fifth Grade. We might as well go in and kill him now. Why wait for a moment? This woman isn’t being wooed by that pretty face, unable to make a move, is she? Speaking of which—"

The black-robed individual paused, rubbing his chin, "Can this woman be trusted? That pretty face looks quite handsome. This woman has been by his side for nearly a year. Could she have been enamored by that pretty face?"

"It’s quite possible,"

the white fat man chuckled, "That Chu Xisheng has most likely awakened Luo Hou’s Blood, making him charming and otherworldly. However, this woman should be trustworthy. I’ve checked. Her real identity is the junior sister of the Heavenly Jinyi Guards Commander, whose master is the current court’s Grandmaster, the ’seven generations of Shangfu’ Dugu Shou.
