Chapter 421 Another Ascended Person Appears
Bringing a team of several hundred people back to the Great Thousand World from the Dou Qi Continent temporarily solved the manpower shortage problem in Zi Xiao City, allowing the old Dragon Emperor, Gu Yuan, and other supreme experts to free themselves from their tedious affairs.
As for the management personnel needed in the future, they can be trained and selected gradually, so there is no need to rush.
And so, as arranged by Chen Xiao, apart from Jinglian and Huangquan, the Old Dragon Emperor and all the other Earthly Sovereigns were relieved of their miscellaneous duties and received an even more important task.
That is, to escort Zi Yan, Xiao Yi Xian, and others to various continents in the Great Thousand World to receive their inheritances.
For example, Chen Xiao has already deduced that there is a lineage in the southern part of the Great Thousand Worlds called Xuanyou that is extremely suitable for Little Fairy Doctor.
In ancient times, there was a remarkable woman named Yaozhu who possessed extraordinary skills in using poisons.
With her mastery of the "Three Elements Corrosion of the Dao" technique, she roamed the world with terrifying power, and even ordinary Heavenly Sovereign experts dared not provoke her easily.
Chen Xiao only learned that the so-called "Three Elements Eroding Miasma" was actually a kind of deadly poison after consulting countless ancient books through the help of the False World and True World.
However, it is by no means an ordinary poison; it is neither liquid nor powder, but a strange miasma born from chaos, which is said to have three parts that corrode the Dao and return to nothingness when united.
Simply put, this miasma can be divided and combined. When divided into three parts, it becomes a miasma that erodes essence, a miasma that erodes spirit, and a miasma that erodes qi, each with its own unique uses. When combined, it becomes a terrifying substance that even the most beautiful goddess dares not easily touch, and its power is boundless.
What's even more remarkable is that, like the strange fire of the Dou Qi Continent, it is inexhaustible. As long as its origin is refined, it will become stronger and stronger with each refinement, and it will be endless!
That Yaozhu was therefore revered as the Yaozhu Malarial Mother.
Moreover, apart from the Three Elements Erosion Miasma that made her famous, this person's other poison techniques are also incredibly powerful. Her heritage must be perfectly compatible with Little Fairy Doctor!
Chen Xiao also spent a lot of effort to pinpoint the exact location of the remains.
Coincidentally, there is also a ruin on the Holy Abyss Continent.
Its owner is named Lingdie Danxian.
As the name suggests, this is a top expert who is extremely skilled in alchemy.
Compared to Yaozhu Zhangmu, this Lingdie Danxian is undoubtedly closer to the present era. The many mysterious elixirs she left behind are still famous in today's world.
Take the Holy Spirit Pill, for example. It is said that this pill can enable a half-step Earthly Supreme Great Perfection expert to take that step and advance to the Great Perfection!
For example, the Sublimation Pill is the masterpiece of the Spirit Butterfly Pill Immortal. It can randomly raise the level of the supernatural power cultivated by the person who takes it by one level. Even ordinary peerless supernatural powers can be raised!
In the original timeline, Mu Chen had already enjoyed such an opportunity.
Without a doubt, the legacy of the Spirit Butterfly Immortal is a perfect match for Cao Ying, who is devoted to alchemy. This legacy is enough to help her reach the pinnacle of alchemy.
Not only Xiao Yi Xian and Cao Ying, but also Cai Lin, Xun Er, Qing Lin, Zi Yan and even Qing Huan and Xing Yao, Chen Xiao found suitable opportunities for them, so that they could reach a higher level before Zi Xiao Palace officially established itself.
For others, the path of inheritance is fraught with unknown dangers, but for Chen Xiao, it is slightly different.
The masters of those inheritances were at most at the Heavenly Sovereign level during their lifetimes. After their fall, the methods they left behind were no longer what they used to be, and most of them could be easily dealt with by the accompanying Earthly Sovereigns.
Moreover, these powerful figures left behind their relics to continue their legacy, not to kill their descendants.
Besides, Chen Xiao has left many life-saving trump cards on Little Fairy Doctor and the others. No matter where they are or what danger they are in, he can come to their aid. It is foolproof and there is absolutely no need to worry.
Qing Yanjing's side was the simplest, requiring no arrangements from Chen Xiao at all.
She was already only one step away from becoming a Heavenly Sovereign. With Chen Xiao imparting all his knowledge to her every day without reservation, her progress towards becoming a Heavenly Sovereign was undoubtedly greatly accelerated. Before the Purple Cloud Palace officially established its position, she would definitely be able to succeed in one fell swoop and advance to the Heavenly Sovereign realm!
And so, the powerful figures of Zixiao Palace each remained in their positions and performed their duties, quietly keeping to themselves busy.
Time passed quietly amidst this orderly busyness, and in the blink of an eye, only one month remained until the ten-year deadline set by Chen Xiao.
South of Daqian lies the vast and boundless Nanzhao Continent.
The endless, towering peaks pierce the clouds, and among the peaks stand magnificent palaces, their gilded roof tiles reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight. This is the headquarters of Shenjian Mountain, one of the top powers in the Southern Zhao Continent.
At this moment, inside a grand hall atop the mountain, a figure leaned against the main seat, his flamboyant golden robe revealing him to be none other than an old acquaintance of Chen Xiao.
War Emperor!
.
He had two stunningly beautiful maids in his arms, and although he was casually twirling plump, glistening grapes between his fingers, feeling the firm texture of the flesh through his fingertips, a deep melancholy lingered between his brows, showing no sign of contentment.
As the official establishment of Zixiao Palace draws ever closer, the topic of True Emperor Chen Xiao and Zixiao Palace is once again attracting more and more attention throughout the world.
Especially within the Divine Sword Mountain, discussions about it are endless.
Because here, there happens to be a very important figure who must be mentioned when discussing the True Emperor.
That's right, it's the War Emperor!
Now, he has been a guest at Shenjian Mountain for several years.
Over the past decade or so, the War Emperor has changed his flamboyant personality, becoming so low-key that he seems like a completely different person. He has never made a move, focusing all his attention on two things.
One of them was to survey the Nanzhao continent and its surrounding continents.
Although he suffered a setback at Chen Xiao's hands back then, his desire to create his own power never died out.
With the idea of getting as far away from Zixiao Palace as possible, the War Emperor found that the area south of the Great Thousand Worlds seemed more and more pleasing to the eye. Although the surrounding continents were full of powerful forces and had Heavenly Sovereign experts in charge, the War Emperor was confident that he could gain a foothold here and even stand out!
As for the second thing—
That would mean expanding his harem.
As the saying goes, nothing is perfect, and no one is without flaws; this is just one of the War Emperor's little hobbies.
Many people secretly criticized him for this, but the War Emperor never felt there was anything wrong with it.
After all, he had worked hard for so many years and gone through countless life-and-death tribulations to reach the Heavenly Supreme Realm. Now he was a powerful figure. Shouldn't he be allowed to enjoy himself?
Moreover, with his supreme physique, he is not lacking in strength. Even with three thousand beauties in his harem, he can still manage to have his way with them as long as he wants. At most, he will simply show more favoritism to those he likes.
At this moment, the War Emperor was slumped in his seat, but all the movements on and off Divine Sword Mountain were under his perception.
He kept hearing the disciples discussing Zixiao Palace and mentioning him frequently, which inexplicably made him feel irritated.
However, he was, after all, a Heavenly Sovereign, so why would he bother with these lowly ants?
That kind of behavior is extremely degrading.
After a moment's thought, the War Emperor quickly made a decision. He immediately withdrew his hand, pushed aside the two maids who had already returned to Nantian, and with a flick of his wrist, a jade slip as smooth as jade appeared in his palm.
"True Emperor, so what if I avoid your sharp edge for another ten years? I don't believe this storm will continue after ten years. Perfect, I'll go and do some work with the Ice Spirit Clan first—"
Just as the War Emperor decided to temporarily leave the Southern Zhao Continent, in an inconspicuous inn in a city tens of millions of miles away from Divine Sword Mountain, a figure was also preparing to set off.
He was dressed in a black outfit, without any luxurious decorations. The tailored cut accentuated his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and upright posture.
His face was angular and sharp, with lines as hard as if carved by a knife. His eyes were deep and cold like a pool, filled with a fortitude and vicissitudes that did not match his age. Although he looked like a young man, he was surrounded by a calm aura of someone who had experienced the world, which made people not dare to underestimate him.
With a creak, the wooden door of the inn was gently pushed open, and the young man stepped out, standing on the threshold.
He didn't move forward immediately, but instead tilted his head slightly, staring silently at the horizon, as if searching for something far away.
past.
His gaze pierced through the thin mist above the city, and a hint of melancholy appeared in his resolute eyes, as if he were looking at a long-forgotten past, or as if he were searching for a vague and elusive figure.
"Huanhuan—"
"Where are you?" The deep voice, with a hint of hoarseness, faded away in the morning breeze.
This murmur, filled with countless worries and unwavering devotion, made his tall figure sway slightly.
He stood there blankly in front of the door for a long time, until the sun rose high in the sky and golden light shone on him. Only then did the young man slowly withdraw his gaze. The melancholy in his eyes faded away and was replaced by an almost stubborn determination. His eyes were sharp and frightening, as if they could pierce through layers of fog and reach the destination.
"No matter where you are, I will find you!" he murmured to himself, his tone as firm as a mountain.
"And Qingzhu, Qingtan, wait for me—"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man did not hesitate any longer and strode down the steps of the inn.
His steps were not fast, but each step was steady and powerful, as if he were carrying a thousand pounds of weight, or as if he had a do-or-die determination.
Then, expressionless, he merged into the bustling crowd on the street. His black figure was inconspicuous among the colorful robes. Passersby either hurried along or stopped to chat, and no one noticed the young man's unusual behavior.
Or to be more precise, nobody cares.
His figure stretched further and further away, eventually shrinking in size.
Until it completely disappeared at the end of the street, as if it had never existed.
..
On the Purple Cloud Continent, auspicious clouds swirl and auspicious energy rises.
As the official announcement of the establishment of Zixiao Palace draws ever closer, Xiaoyixian and the others who had previously scattered throughout the world in search of opportunities have all returned, except for the playful Ziyan, to help with the preparations for the grand ceremony.
Not only them, but also some of Chen Xiao and Chen Lin's friends from outside, and even Mandala from the Tianluo Continent, had arrived early, just to offer their sincerest congratulations and send their heartfelt wishes when Zixiao Palace was officially established.
And today, Zi Yan, whom Cai Lin had mentioned many times, has finally returned.
However, when Zi Yan appeared in their sight, a hint of surprise flashed across the faces of Chen Xiao and the others.
Because, in Zi Yan's entourage, besides familiar faces like the Old Dragon Emperor, there was a strange, beautiful figure among them.
She was a woman who looked extremely young, wearing a pure black long dress that trailed on the ground. The hem of the dress was embroidered with subtle dark patterns that swayed with her steps, like flowing ink-colored light in the dark night.
She had a beautiful face, her eyes were like a cold pool filled with mist, and her deep pupils seemed to be able to devour all light. She was surrounded by a cold and mysterious aura.
His aloof and distant temperament made him seem like he belonged to a completely different world when he stood next to Zi Yan, creating a stark contrast.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the group passed through auspicious clouds and landed steadily in front of the Zixiao Palace.
Zi Yan immediately noticed the surprise in Chen Xiao, Cai Lin and the others' eyes. Following their gaze, she looked at the woman in black beside her, grinned, and familiarly put her arm around the woman's shoulder.
"What's with all those looks? You all look like you've seen a ghost. Let me introduce you."
She lowered her hand, grabbed the woman in the black dress by the wrist, and stepped forward, her tone carrying a hint of smugness: "Her name is Tan Qingqing. I rescued her by chance half a year ago. At that time, she was in a bad situation, being chased by a group of spirit beasts all alone. If I hadn't happened to run into her, the consequences would have been hard to say."
As she spoke, Zi Yan quickly introduced Chen Xiao and the others to Tan Qingqing.
As Zi Yan finished speaking, Tan Qingqing also raised her hand and bowed slightly to Chen Xiao, Cai Lin, and the others.
Her movements were gentle yet orderly; the hem of her dark skirt swayed gently with her slight bow, the dark patterns appearing and disappearing in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Perhaps because she trusted Zi Yan quite a bit, her gaze towards Chen Xiao and his group, though carrying a hint of unfamiliarity from being a newcomer, did not show any strong sense of vigilance. However, her deep, dark eyes remained calm and serene.
"Tan Qingqing greets the True Emperor and all the ladies."
Her clear, light voice was like a mountain stream, cool yet distinct. After saying this, she said nothing more, stood back beside Zi Yan, lowered her eyes, and appeared to be a man of few words.
Seeing this, Zi Yan immediately took over and added, "Qingqing ascended from a lower plane. When I met her, the spiritual power and another energy within her were in turmoil, and she couldn't unleash her full strength, which is why she was threatened by those spirit beasts."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao, Little Fairy Doctor, and the others suddenly realized why Zi Yan was so smug.
Those who can ascend from lower planes, unless they are the kind of people who are brought up along to enjoy the benefits, can all be said to be top-tier powerhouses in reserve.
Zi Yan was able to bring back such a person. If we could bring this woman under our command, it would indeed strengthen the foundation of Zixiao Palace and be considered a great achievement.
Noticing the change in everyone's expressions, Zi Yan smiled even more smugly. She patted her chest and said, "I helped her complete the spiritual energy conversion. Later, when we talked, I found out that there were two other people who came to the Great Thousand World with Qingqing. One was her brother, and the other was her sister-in-law, but they were separated."
"So I thought, since Qingqing had nowhere to go and no clues about her brother and sister-in-law, I would bring her back with me first, and then slowly inquire about information later."
Upon hearing this, Tan Qingqing glanced at Zi Yan, a faint warmth passing through her eyes, before quickly lowering them again. She didn't say anything more, only nodding gently.
It's clear that she is quite grateful to and trusts Ziyan, but she doesn't seem to be very good at communicating with people.
After hearing the whole story, Xun'er and the other girls nodded slightly.
The Dragon Emperor did a very good job in this matter.
I thought it was just one person ascending from a lower plane, but I never expected there were three!
This is quite a pleasant surprise; even if we can't bring them under our control, it's still a good thing.
Thinking this, Cai Lin stepped forward first, a gentle smile on her face: "Since you are a friend brought by Zi Yan, then you are a guest of our Zi Xiao Palace. Miss Qing Qing, please don't be shy. Just stay here and feel at ease. If you need anything, just ask."
Upon hearing this, Tan Qingqing looked up again, nodded slightly to Cai Lin, and said softly, "Thank you."
It was just two simple words, but they conveyed a sincere sense of gratitude.
What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Chen Xiao was somewhat taken aback after hearing Zi Yan's account.
Three people ascended to the Great Thousand Worlds, and their relationship is quite something—
This script looks so familiar!
Without hesitation, Chen Xiao immediately asked, "Miss Qingqing, what are your elder brother's and sister-in-law's names?"
The women around also looked over. After all, this was the most basic thing to do when looking for someone. It would be best to have more clues, such as appearance and personality.
Otherwise, finding two people in this vast world would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Upon hearing this, Tan Qingqing hesitated for a moment, first giving Zi Yan an apologetic look before speaking, "I'm sorry, Zi Yan, my name isn't actually Tan Qingqing, my real name is Qing Tan—"
"My brother's name is Lin Dong, and my sister-in-law's name is Ling Qingzhu!"
