Chapter 1536 - 1526: Borrowing Two Things

Chapter 1536: Chapter 1526: Borrowing Two Things

Deep within the Cloud Sky Palace.

In a dimly lit secret chamber, Xiao Qi sat cross-legged. She had now fully awakened the Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden Body. Her appearance hadn’t changed much, but her aura was increasingly sacred.

Any ordinary woman would feel inferior with just one glance.

She sat silently.

Slowly performing the Cultivation Technique.

It revealed a mysterious and profound atmosphere, causing the surrounding space and time to dim and lose their luster.

After an indeterminable period, Xiao Qi’s beautiful eyes slightly moved, slowly opening. Her eyes were as brilliant as the stars and radiated a terrifying aura, successfully breaking through the Three Knowledge Realm.

"Succeeded!"

Xiao Qi looked up at Dun Yi, speaking coldly.

Before her stood the Master of the Dao Book, who sacrificed her for extending time. She couldn’t muster any liking for him.

"Go out! He is waiting for you!"

Dun Yi’s expression didn’t change significantly, speaking softly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi turned and left directly.

"I’m...sorry!"

Dun Yi murmured.

His phantom body gradually faded.

At the same time, in the deep of boundless cosmos, Dun Yi’s true body, bound by chains, opened his eyes and gazed toward the direction of the Cloud Sky Palace, a flash of apology and heartache crossing his eyes.

He was once such a proud person!

Now, he had to sacrifice a young girl’s life.

His inner pain.

Who could understand it?

...

"Your Majesty, there are still two minutes; we should really go now!"

In the corridor, Yuwen Chengdu was utterly anxious, pulling on Qin Wudao’s sleeve, attempting to forcibly lead him out.

If Qin Wudao were trapped in the Cloud Sky Palace, then when he goes to the Qin Dynasty afterward, he likely wouldn’t have the face to stand his ground. No, by that time, the Qin Dynasty might be gone.

There was only the last ten thousand years left before the Age Clan cleansed the universe.

Without Qin Wudao as the backbone, could the Qin Dynasty defeat the Age Clan?

"Wait a little longer!"

Qin Wudao shook off Yuwen Chengdu’s hand, his heart, which hadn’t been chaotic for centuries, now in turmoil.

Xiao Qi, did something really happen to her?

In the last two minutes, could any miracle still occur?

Qin Wudao dejectedly lowered his head.

"Your Majesty, look quickly!"

At that moment, Yuwen Chengdu’s excited voice reached his ears again.

Qin Wudao hurriedly glanced up to see a woman in a sky-blue long skirt standing in the void not far away, smiling and waving to him.

"Xiao Qi!"

Qin Wudao was overjoyed, soaring across the void.

"Senior Brother, I’m back!"

After breaking through the Three Knowledge Realm, Xiao Qi was even faster. With a flash of her body, she threw herself into Qin Wudao’s embrace like a koala, clinging to him.

"Where did you run off to?"

Being hugged by Xiao Qi, Qin Wudao’s body stiffened. This was his first time touching a woman other than Jade Snow Gentleman, and his hands seemed unsure of where to place them.

"I obtained the legacy Dun Yi left in the Cloud Sky Palace!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Qi’s eyes darkened.

But due to their position, Qin Wudao did not see this.

However, Yuwen Chengdu noticed it, secretly wondering. Obtaining the heritage of a strong person should be a matter of joy, right?

"I also obtained a legacy!"

Hearing this, Qin Wudao was also happy for Xiao Qi. He set her down and pulled out a jade slip given by the Tota Heavenly King from his personal space with a smile, "Try it!"

"Okay!"

Xiao Qi took the jade slip, touched by his gesture.

"Your Majesty, Lady Xiao Qi, the Cloud Sky Palace will close in ten breaths; you should look once you’re outside!"

Yuwen Chengdu said urgently.

By this time, the barrier of the Cloud Sky Palace had already started to shrink. Delaying any longer, and they would truly be stuck inside.

"Let’s go!"

Qin Wudao’s expression slightly changed, pulling Xiao Qi as they flew out of the South Heaven Gate.

Yuwen Chengdu hurriedly followed.

After the trio left, the Cloud Sky Palace completely sealed.

And as soon as they appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of the present crowd. The Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect was the first to fly in front of Xiao Qi, examining her thoroughly. Only after confirming she was fine did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Was it you, boy, who caused my daughter to be delayed for so long?"

The Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect suddenly turned his head, accusing Qin Wudao, completely overlooking Yuwen Chengdu.

Qin Wudao smiled wryly.

He hadn’t expected the Azure Cloud Sect Master to be so doting on his daughter.

Qin Wudao did not retaliate because it was indeed he who had misplaced Xiao Qi.

"How audacious!"

"Dare to be disrespectful to His Majesty, courting death!"

On the other hand, Yuwen Chengdu could not refrain himself. In his eyes, royal authority was supreme, towering above all life, how could outsiders dare to call him ’boy’?

With those thoughts, a flicker of killing intent crossed Yuwen Chengdu’s eyes as he swung the Phoenix Feathered Golden Staff, slashing towards the Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect.

This attack was incredibly powerful.

Electricity flashed.

Thunder rumbled.

Split the starry sky apart.

Everything happened so quickly that by the time Qin Wudao reacted, Yuwen Chengdu’s attack was already closing in on the Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect’s head, about to fall.

"Stop!"

Qin Wudao shouted urgently.

But it was too late. The Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect, after realizing, showed anger, his internal energy circulating to his palm, blue light flickering, forcefully striking forward.

Boom!

The starry sky shattered.

An azure palm print cut through the void, covered in arcane patterns, only about ten feet in size, but it felt more radiant than the heavens, more solid than the earth, crushing everything.

In the next moment.

The attacks from both sides collided.

The terrifying aftershocks raged.

Yuwen Chengdu and the Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect simultaneously retreated, the former retreating several dozen miles, and the latter only a few steps back.

This demonstrated that Yuwen Chengdu’s combat strength was comparable to ordinary martial artists of the Cause and Effect Realm.

Seeing this scene.

Everyone present was secretly astonished.

"So someone was protecting him, no wonder it didn’t succeed!"

The Grand Elder of the hall glanced at Yuwen Chengdu, recalling his personal disciple Lin Yun dying in the Cloud Sky Palace, a flicker of coldness flashed across his eyes.

Next to him, the Second Elder’s expression was also somewhat grim.

Ever since opposing the Qin Dynasty, their Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall had never gained the upper hand.

"Nation of Destiny!"

Seated atop the nine-headed magic dragon, the Dark Lord glanced at Yuwen Chengdu and asked Luo Hou beside him, "Disciple, tell me all about the Qin Dynasty!"

"At once!"

Luo Hou was intently watching Qin Wudao. Upon hearing the Dark Lord’s words, he gathered his thoughts and spoke in a deep voice, "This Qin Dynasty started as a force within the Mortal Realm..."

Mortal Realm!

Upon hearing this, the Dark Lord’s body shuddered slightly.

His inner murderous intent surged once more.

"Misunderstanding!"

"It’s all a misunderstanding!"

Seeing Yuwen Chengdu and the Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect about to clash again, Qin Wudao and Xiao Qi hurriedly intervened.

"At your command!"

Yuwen Chengdu bowed, ceasing his attack.

The Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect wasn’t one to hold grudges. With a look of surprise at Yuwen Chengdu, he seemed to ponder why a mere Three Knowledge Realm martial artist could withstand his attack.

"Let’s go!"

The thought crossed the Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect’s mind as a blue cloud flying sword appeared at his feet, preparing to take the young talents who entered the Nine Heavens Palace this time back to the sect.

But just then, the distant Starfield began to boil, radiating a series of terrifying auras.

Coincidentally at this moment, Luo Hou concluded the brief recount of the Qin Dynasty’s development history.

The Dark Lord took a step forward, a monstrous aura erupting, locking onto Qin Wudao, calmly stating, "Qin Wudao, I wish to borrow two things from you!"
