Chapter 2848: Rongrong’s Parents

Chapter 2848: Chapter 2848: Rongrong’s Parents

The Tianlin Star System has always presented a situation of three factions holding power.

Among them, the Sect Leader Mansion has two high-rank Divine King Realm experts stationed, making its overall strength the strongest.

The Bading Alchemist founded the Bading Sect, whose overall strength is slightly inferior to the Sect Leader Mansion but stronger than the Nourishing Essence Gate.

Consequently, the overall strength of the Nourishing Essence Gate is the weakest among the three major powers in the Tianlin Star System.

This time, the Great Might Divine King’s advancement to a high-rank Divine King Realm cultivation level is seen as a rare chance to surpass the Bading Sect by the Nourishing Essence Alchemist.

He hopes to leverage Fang Bai’s relationship with the Great Might Divine King to persuade the Great Might Divine King to become an Honorary Elder, thereby enhancing the strength of the Nourishing Essence Gate.

Not long later, in the sect leader hall of the Nourishing Essence Gate, the Nourishing Essence Alchemist gathered over a dozen senior members, along with the Great Might Divine King and Rongrong, for a grand banquet to celebrate the advancement of these three great experts: the Great Might Divine King, Fang Bai, and Rongrong.

During the banquet, the Nourishing Essence Alchemist expressed the hope that the Great Might Divine King could join the sect as an Honorary Elder, then eagerly looked towards the Great Might Divine King.

Fang Bai respected the Great Might Divine King’s thoughts and did not use his relationship to influence him.

Therefore, when the Nourishing Essence Alchemist brought up the matter, Fang Bai remained silent and did not express an opinion.

Rongrong glanced at Fang Bai and also held back, allowing her grandfather to decide for himself.

"This..."

The Great Might Divine King hadn’t expected the Nourishing Essence Alchemist to try to recruit him, and for a moment he didn’t know how to respond.

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist, seeing the Great Might Divine King hadn’t immediately refused, recognized this as a good start and quickly said, "Great Might Divine King, rest assured, it’s merely an honorary title; you won’t need to reside in the sect, and the sect’s rules won’t bind you."

The Great Might Divine King, decisive in his opinion, bowed his head in thought for a moment and then nodded to the Nourishing Essence Alchemist and said, "Both you and Fang Bai have shown kindness to me, and now Fang Bai has become your disciple; emotionally and logically, I should not refuse your invitation."

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist, unable to contain his joy, replied, "So, Great Might Divine King, you agree?"

The Great Might Divine King nodded and said, "Yes, I accept your invitation and will take on the role of Honorary Elder!"

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist laughed heartily, exclaiming confidently, "With your assistance, the Nourishing Essence Gate will certainly develop further!"

Although an Honorary Elder is a nominal title and not subject to sect rules, being a member means contributing efforts if the Nourishing Essence Gate faces trouble.

If this news spreads, other sects will be aware that the Nourishing Essence Gate has gained a high-rank Divine King Realm Honorary Elder, naturally making them more cautious and less likely to offend the Nourishing Essence Gate lightly.

Even other factions on Tianlin Star must show more respect towards the Nourishing Essence Gate in the future.

The Great Might Divine King becoming an Honorary Elder of the Nourishing Essence Gate doesn’t require any ceremonial entry; a verbal agreement is enough.

"You are my direct disciple, and one is an Honorary Elder of the sect. Why not let Rongrong join the Nourishing Essence Gate too? She can also become my direct disciple like Fang Bai."

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist finally suggested.

Rongrong looked at Fang Bai, somewhat tempted.

However, the Great Might Divine King refused with a smile, "In fact, Rongrong’s parents have a realm and cultivation level stronger than mine currently, they just aren’t beside her now. I hope that once Rongrong finds them in the future, she can follow them for cultivation. So, I can only accept your good intentions on her behalf."

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist’s brows raised in astonishment, asking, "Could Rongrong’s parents possess a Divine Emperor Realm cultivation?"

Now that the Great Might Divine King is at high-rank Divine King Realm, if Rongrong’s parents are even stronger, then they should be Divine Emperor Realm experts.

If not Divine Emperor Realm experts, they are at least at half-step Divine Emperor Realm, still unattainable by the Divine King Realm experts.

With such parents, no wonder the Great Might Divine King would decline his goodwill for Rongrong.

Fang Bai heard about Rongrong’s parents from the Great Might Divine King for the first time.

Previously, neither the Great Might Divine King nor Rongrong had mentioned this, so Fang Bai didn’t ask.

He couldn’t imagine that Rongrong’s parents were such formidable figures.

Realizing that Rongrong’s parents might both be Divine Emperor Realm experts, Fang Bai felt immense pressure, pondering how they would view him, a son-in-law with only mid-level Divine Venerable Realm cultivation.

"Although my cultivation level isn’t as high as Rongrong’s now, my potential is greater, and I believe Rongrong’s parents can see that and won’t oppose us being together."

Fang Bai thought to himself.

He then considered his other companions, wondering how Rongrong’s parents might react upon knowing, initially feeling a bit troubled.

"Who cares! As long as Rongrong and I both desire to be together, who could stop us? Not even her parents!"

Thinking of this, Fang Bai silently clenched his fist.

Upon hearing the Nourishing Essence Alchemist’s inquiry, the Great Might Divine King showed a flash of helplessness in his eyes, smiling wryly, "Though not Divine Emperor Realm experts, they’re close."

After a pause, he added, "Rongrong’s parents are remarkably talented and extraordinarily gifted. Several decades ago, they were half-a-step Divine Emperor Realm experts, only one step away from Divine Emperor Realm, by now they likely have advanced."

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist heard other meanings in the Great Might Divine King’s words, his brows raised, asking, "Have Rongrong’s parents been distant from her all along?"

On hearing this, Rongrong’s expression suddenly dimmed, turning sorrowful.

Fang Bai sensed her shift and gently put his arm around her shoulder, softly comforting her.

"Sorry, I haven’t told you about my parents before..."

Rongrong’s eyes redden slightly, whispering to Fang Bai.

Fang Bai warmly replied, "No rush. Share if you feel ready. Keep it inside if not. What matters to me is you, not your parents."

Rongrong nodded obediently.

The Great Might Divine King spoke half about Rongrong’s parents and didn’t continue on the topic.

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist, understanding the tact needed, refrained from further questions, yet felt slightly regretful when looking at Rongrong again.

If Rongrong joined the Nourishing Essence Gate and her parents appeared later, the gate would gain two half-step Divine Emperor Realm experts, becoming the strongest power in the Tianlin Star System. ℯ

However, it now seems impossible.

The Great Might Divine King seems determined to have Rongrong follow her parents to learn secret techniques and divine methods.

With that, the banquet joyfully concluded, and each expert returned to their abode for rest.

Fang Bai took Rongrong back to their residence, sensing she had something to share related to her parents, set up an isolation formation around their place, preventing their conversation from being overheard by other experts.
