Chapter 616 - 618: Little Emperor

Chapter 616: Chapter 618: Little Emperor

Alas, the disparity between people can truly be vast—the Little Emperor, merely a God’s Descendant, seemed unable to wait to plaster all the glory onto his own face, while this big brother with lost memory, a Divine Chosen, was so low-profile and approachable.

Thus, Mi Rong grew even more disgusted with the Little Emperor.

“He saved my life last night, I believe in him,” Mi Rong said earnestly.

“Oh, then I misunderstood; it turns out he is the one who saved my little sister. Thank you for taking care of her. But my little sister is the sole disciple of the Holy Monarch and also a Descendant of the Xuan Ge Deity. No matter what your cultivation base is or how exalted a person you are, you will never have a chance to reach the realm she occupies. Please, don’t try to reach above your station,” the bushy-browed man said.

“Big brother, you are beyond help. He is my life savior, and if you say another disrespectful word to him, I… I will immediately sever our brother-sister relationship!” Mi Rong was so angry she stamped her feet, even resorting to the threat of cutting blood ties!

“Alright, alright, I misspoke; I’ll apologize to him. If it really doesn’t work, then this young brother can come with us and protect you—I suppose that’s acceptable, right? Sigh, you don’t trust your own kin or clansmen, but you believe an outsider,” the bushy-browed man said.

It was clear that Mi Rong would not agree.

The person was a Divine Chosen, and the deity backing him could well be higher than the Star God of Xuan Ge. How could she possibly ask someone, to whom she was indebted for her life, to be her guard!

“That works; I have nowhere to go anyway. I’ll join you and wander around; maybe I’ll find the memories I lost,” Zhu Minglang accepted gladly.

I’ve been waiting for you to say just that!

They were off to collect Star Moon Jade Glass; even if they hadn’t brought it up, Zhu Minglang would have found a way to follow.

As for the offensive words said by Mi Rong’s big brother, hmph, he will punish them by taking all their Star Moon Jade Glass—that would be enough justice for now; there was no need to make a fuss about it!

“Really… you’re truly willing to join us?” Mi Rong could hardly believe it.

“Of course,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

“Alright, it doesn’t matter. The team already has a few burdens; one more won’t make a difference. Let’s get moving; if we delay any further, it will be hard to find our way,” the bushy-browed man said.

After he spoke, several young men and women at the back of the group gave awkward smiles; clearly, those ‘burdens’ were them.

…

Before leaving the Bone Temple, without any surprises, the people from the Xuange Divine Clan took the opportunity to beat up Shang Zhuang and his group, who were headed to the Que wolf divine city.

If it weren’t for pressing time, the Xuange Divine Clan would personally escort him to the Xuange Divine Country.

Shang Zhuang was beaten until his skin split and bled but did not dare to fight back, rolling on the muddy ground.

He got up, filled with unspeakable grief and indignation!

Among the three he had thrown out, one was a Divine Chosen, and another a God’s Descendant…

Thinking back to when he haughtily declared, “I am one of God’s people,” he felt intensely ashamed.

Of course, on top of being ashamed, he was also incredibly annoyed and resentful; why was his own status so low!

Despite possessing extraordinary talent, if he had a higher status, he would surely surpass those God’s Descendants!!

In terms of cultivation base, Shang Zhuang was indeed among the higher ranks, but he didn’t dare retaliate because the other had a deeper background.

“Supreme Court, I must enter the Supreme Court!”

“Once I obtain divine favor, the humiliation of today—I, Shang Zhuang, will certainly retaliate!!”

“All of you just wait!”

Shang Zhuang gritted his teeth.

…

Seven Stars Divine Resentment

Thirty-two Positive Gods, Sparrow Wolf God, Xuan Ge God…

Zhu Minglang now had a general concept of the divisions within the God Territory.

Unlike the Supreme Court Empire’s dominant position, the vast majority of people here care about their statuses, belonging to which god.

“The Xuan Ge God, is that the deity you worship?” Zhu Minglang quietly inquired of Mi Rong.

“Mhm, mhm,” Mi Rong nodded eagerly; the mention of their deity sparked an unmistakable look of reverence in her eyes.

She had clearly seen the True God of Xuan Ge.

“All these people, they are God’s Descendants?” Zhu Minglang glanced at the others in the group and couldn’t help asking.

Mi Rong shook her head and explained patiently to this big brother with memory loss, “Only my elder brother and I are God’s Descendants, all the others are God’s people.”

“Ah, no wonder Shang Zhuang didn’t dare to retaliate,” Zhu Minglang suddenly understood.

Among Shang Zhuang’s group, it seemed that only he was one of God’s people; the rest were commoners.

And in the group with Mi Rong’s big brother, just a casual identity was already equivalent to Shang Zhuang’s.

“Shang Zhuang is still very strong. For a God’s Descendant like me whose cultivation base is not as high as his, encountering him in the wilderness usually means more danger than luck,” Mi Rong said.

After all, status is just a status. When it really comes down to a fight, status doesn’t provide any practical combat strength, but it often determines the height a person can reach. It’s quite normal for those higher up to look down on those below them.

This is probably why Mingji and those with the surname Bai always seem to speak with disdain for the citizens of the Supreme Court.

“Why do they need to find you to set off in search of the Star Moon Jade Luili? Oh, what exactly is the Star Moon Jade Luili? I almost forgot to ask—is it delicious?” Zhu Minglang continued his barrage of endless questions.

Mi Rong was already completely accustomed to this, and with a gentle smile, he said, “Star Moon Jade Luili is a kind of heavenly essence which cannot be naturally produced in any territory. It is only when a star from beyond plummets, burning intensely in the Sky Dome and colliding fiercely with the earth, that it may emerge from this massive and unique impact—it is a very rare cultivation treasure.”

Zhu Minglang nodded, only half understanding.

“The Holy Monarch informed us that a fragment of a continent has fallen in these Four Desolate Regions, and a new Star Continent will also descend here. Whether the shattered remnants of the continent or the intact Star Continent that falls, there’s a high chance of finding heavenly essence. I am a Star Observing Master, and when I see a shooting star, I can roughly estimate where it will fall,” Mi Rong explained.

“Star Observing Master? Can you see things that are going to happen in the future?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“That’s the work of a Prophet. Star observing is just a branch of prophecy. My current realm is not high enough to practice prophecy. If I knew the Prophecy Technique, I wouldn’t have ended up being thrown out,” Mi Rong said.

Zhu Minglang opened his mouth to speak, but then hesitated.

Miss Xinghua…

Her divine skills are above even those of the God’s Descendants of this God Territory!

Could it be that during his journey, Miss Xinghua has been using her powerful prophetic abilities to help him avoid countless dangerous situations?

And furthermore, entering the Ancient Relics and receiving the True God’s grace also seemed to be arranged by Li Xinghua. Mingji, who was so desperate for that grace, turned out to be one step behind Zhu Minglang.

In that case, Miss Xinghua left the best things for him.

Upon his return, he must repay her properly.

If she can even predict the grace of a True God, that indeed surpasses Mi Rong’s star observing abilities by several realms.

However, Mi Rong’s star observing divine skills are still quite impressive right now—at least they can ensure the robust growth of his Bai Qi, the Little Dragon God!

…

Traveling together, Zhu Minglang had already gained a preliminary understanding of this world. The next step was to figure out how to plunder it!

The Spiritual Energy here was extremely abundant. Zhu Minglang’s Gathering Spirit effectiveness reached three hundred times its normal effect; it was like cultivating in some of the Spirit Veins of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, even though he was walking in a desolate wilderness with no Spiritual Root at all.

He wondered what the effect of the Spirit Veins here was, and whether it would enable his cultivation speed to reach a thousandfold level.

The sun was high, its warm rays tinged with hints of violet, reminding Zhu Minglang of the phrase “Purple Qi Coming from the East.” As he tried absorbing this purple qi from the God Territory’s sunlight into his Spirit Realm, Zhu Minglang found that his cultivation speed had improved again, reaching three hundred and fifty times the normal speed!

This was quite astonishing.

In the Supreme Court, his cultivation speed of over two hundred times was already considered very fast. Even a dragon that only matured after a thousand years could be cultivated in a short time.

But here in the Tianshu God Territory, even the sunlight contained violet Spiritual Energy!

And this was an aura that lingered directly between heaven and earth. The amount of Spiritual Energy that humans could absorb was actually very limited; those spirit plants that relied on sunlight for nourishment benefited immensely. He believed that even the crops grown on this fertile land were not ordinary grains.

For a moment, Zhu Minglang felt that the Tianshu God Territory was full of spiritual treasures everywhere.

…

Having reached a small plain, a stream flowed past lush with colorful river fish occasionally leaping up, seemingly delicious.

“Some matters have delayed us, making everyone from Hongtian Peak wait for a long time. I am quite ashamed,” Mi Zhongyun said.

Ahead was a group of people dressed in snow-white hemp robes. They were stern and humorless, but their eyes betrayed various emotions—impatience, indifference, irritability, tranquility, greed…

Those undisguised eyes were very familiar!

They were a group of practitioners of the Path of Extreme Desire, belonging to the same sect as those few from Black Heaven Peak??

“Where’s Little Rong?” The leading man, with an air of aloofness, paid almost no attention to Mi Rong’s other clan members, his eyes showing a hint of curiosity as he searched for Mi Rong.

Little Rong was hiding behind Zhu Minglang, not wanting to see the Little Emperor of Hongtian Peak, nor willing to have any eye contact with him, feeling a mix of fear and disgust.

“So you were there,” the Little Emperor said with a laugh. He was one of the few whose expression changed frequently. He then said, “My friend, you are obstructing my view. Please step aside.”

“This sunshine is too radiant. It’s blinding. Why don’t you ask it to sink down?” Zhu Minglang retorted.

The smile on the Little Emperor’s face gradually stiffened.

Before the Little Emperor could react, Mi Zhongyun quickly stood between the two and said, “This young friend saved my sister. He is a Loose Cultivator, unaware of the Little Emperor’s noble status. If he has said anything offensive, please forgive him.”

“Oh, ignorance is no sin. I must also thank the young friend for his assistance. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to see my Little Rong sister again,” the Little Emperor regained his earlier smile, and after a while, he added, “By the way, I practice the Path of Extreme Desire. Have you ever heard of it, young friend?”

“I’ve heard a little,” Zhu Minglang replied with a forced smile.

Heh, I’m also a practitioner of Extreme Desire—justice!
