“Xiao Qinglan, let me ask you something. What’s with the aura of heaven burial bronze coffin on you?”
The Supreme’s voice entered Xiao Qinglan’s ears.
Thump!
Hearing this, Xiao Qinglan knelt in front of the gate with fear and unease.
“The heaven burial bronze coffin?”
“The ominous aura in the deepest part of your celestial sense. It’s the aura of the heaven burial bronze coffin.”
Was it?
Xiao Qinglan was shocked.
At the mention of this, endless bitterness rose from the bottom of his heart.
That wisp of ominous aura had harmed him greatly.
He originally had the potential to reach the Immortal Emperor realm and had already embarked on the path of becoming an Immortal Emperor. Just as he was about to prove his Dao, he encountered a taboo. Thus, he was forcefully knocked down to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.
This matter had always been a pain in Xiao Qinglan’s heart.
“Reporting to the Supreme, when 1 was proving my Dao to reach the Immortal Emperor realm, 1 managed to catch a glimpse of the past through the Three Lifetimes Celestial Scripture that I cultivated. Unfortunately, just as 1 was becoming an Immortal Emperor, I happened to see an ancient black copper coffin. As a result, my celestial sense was contaminated by an ominous aura and I was unable to prove the Dao and reach the Immortal Emperor realm,” Xiao Qinglan answered truthfully.
Huh…
Hearing this, Lin Wudao was shocked.
“Are you saying that in the past, just because you saw the heaven burial bronze coffin, your celestial sense was contaminated?”
“Ye… Yes. That was three epochs ago. I only took a glance at the bronze coffin and was contaminated by an ominous aura. That copper coffin is taboo!”
At this point, Xiao Qinglan seemed to be reminded of painful memories from the past. A trace of sadness and helplessness flashed across her eyes.
He really only took a glance!
“Heh, looks like your luck is really bad. To think you b.u.mped into the heaven burial bronze coffin at such a critical moment when you were proving your Dao to become an Immortal Emperor. No wonder your cultivation has been unable to advance even an inch over the past three epochs,” Lin Wudao sighed.
His words revealed a hint of sympathy.
Xiao Qinglan was indeed quite unlucky.
Lin Wudao wasn’t too clear about the mystery and terror of the heaven burial bronze coffin, but he knew that even Immortal Emperors would die without a burial ground if they were to encounter it.
The copper was definitely something on the same level as the Supremes. Perhaps, it was even an eternal supreme treasure!
Thinking of this, Lin Wudao’s gaze fell on Xiao Qinglan who was outside. After pondering for a moment, he raised his hand and waved.
In an instant, the wisp of ominous aura that was hidden in the deepest part of Xiao Qinglan’s celestial sense returned to his hand like a swallow returning to its nest.
Then, it was absorbed by the heaven burial bronze coffin.
“Hmm? My body…!”
Xiao Qinglan immediately sensed the ominous aura disappear. He looked at his celestial body and celestial sense, and his eyes widened.
The strange substance that was rooted in the depths of his celestial sense and could not be removed had actually disappeared!
“Thankyou, Supreme!”
Sensing the great change in his celestial sense, Xiao Qinglan immediately kowtowed with utmost respect and devotion. His eyes were filled with surprise and grat.i.tude.
That strange substance had troubled him for a full three epochs. During this period, even the Immortal Emperor of the Penglai celestial race could not remove it.
He hadn’t expected to obtain the favor of the Supreme after coming to the City of Heavens today.
The surprise came too suddenly. For a moment, Xiao Qinglan couldn’t quite wrap his mind around it.
“Xiao Qinglan, I have helped you remove the ominous aura in your celestial sense, and in turn, you need to do something for me.”
“As per the Supreme’s orders.”
Xiao Qinglan listened attentively.
Being able to work for a Supreme was a supreme opportunity and good fortune. It was an opportunity that others could not even dream of. He naturally had to hold on to it.
“Tomorrow will be the cosmic tide that happens once every epoch. At that time, 1 will bring a junior here to broaden his horizons. When the time comes, bring him to the place where the cosmic tide erupts and let him temper himself. Remember, you are only allowed to bring him there. You are not allowed to help him obtain anything. Everything depends on himself. Do you understand?”
His grand voice shook Xiao Qinglan’s celestial sense.
“I will obey the Supreme’s decree,” Xiao Qinglan replied respectfully.
At this moment, he was already looking forward to meeting the Supreme’s junior.
“The Supreme’s junior is absolutely extraordinary. I wonder which race’s descendant he is… To think he can obtain the favor of the Supreme.”
He was envious.
Lin Wudao ignored Xiao Qinglan’s reaction.
After giving his orders, he immediately disappeared from the Nine Heavens Tower.
“Congratulations, Celestial Lord.”
On the eighth floor of the Nine Heavens Tower, Ji Ruyue came up to Xiao Qinglan and congratulated him with a smile.
From his appearance, anyone could tell that he had obtained a great fortune.
“G.o.ddess, how should I address you?”
Facing Ji Ruyue’s greeting, Xiao Qinglan put away his status and dignity as a Quasi-lmmortai Emperor and became very polite.
“Azure Great World, Ji Ruyue,” Ji Ruyue replied with a smile.
Azure Great World?
Xiao Qinglan murmured the name in his heart and memorized it.
“Celestial Lord, tomorrow will be the day of the cosmic tide eruption. At that time, there will be many shocking opportunities and great fortunes. I wonder if Celestial Lord is interested in entering the cosmic tide to search for treasures?” “Yes. Tomorrow, I will accompany the Supreme’s junior,” Xiao Qinglan answered with a smile.
What? The Supreme’s junior?
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyue was shocked.
Previously, Ji Wuya had once guessed that the reason why the Supreme had appeared in the City of Heavens was to train a certain junior and guide him in his cultivation.
To think it was unexpectedly true!
If they could build a good relationship with the Supreme’s junior, the Ji family would be able to stand with the Supreme.
At that time, even if they faced the era calamity, they would definitely be able to survive.
Thinking of this, Ji Ruyue couldn’t help but feel invigorated.
“Thank you, Celestial Lord. The Ji family is eternally grateful.”
“Heh, it’s just a small matter.”
Xiao Qinglan waved his hand nonchalantly. After all, he wanted to build a good relationship with Ji Ruyue. In the future, it would bring great benefits to the Penglai celestial race.
“Oh right, Celestial Lord, since you risked being punished by the Supreme to tell me such an important matter, the Ji family has to repay this kindness. Coincidentally, I also know a piece of news that will be of great help to the Celestial Lord’s Penglai celestial race.”
Oh?
Xiao Qinglan listened attentively.
Ji Ruyue was by the Supreme’s side. The information she revealed would surely be something that the outside world would not know, and it would definitely be great news for the entire Penglai celestial race.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qinglan’s curiosity was piqued.
“Celestial Lord, do you know that this time, it’s not only the epoch calamity but also the era calamity? This epoch is the last one of the current era. In the next thousand years, Immortal Emperor Taicang’s destiny will end. At that time, a new era will begin.”
What? Immortal Emperor Taicang was about to die?
Xiao Qinglan’s expression changed as soon as he heard that. His heart was in turmoil.
Not only was this piece of news important, but it was also an opportunity of fate. Just these words were enough to change the fate of a celestial race. From there, they could make preparations in advance and plan big things.
“Thank you, G.o.ddess Ji. This matter is too important. 1 have to return to the Penglai celestial race first.”
Xiao Qinglan left the City of Heavens as fast as he could without hesitation.
Whoosh!
After he left, Ji Wuya suddenly appeared in front of Ji Ruyue.
“Elder, will our action of telling Celestial Lord Qinglan this news cause a change in the cosmic? Although the Penglai celestial race only has one Immortal Emperor, it is barely qualified to fight for destiny. If there is a big mess at that time, then…”
Ji Ruyue looked worried. She was afraid that the Penglai celestial race would make too big a move and cause an accident. At that time, the Ji family wouldn’t be able to escape the punishment, having been the one who leaked the news.
“Don’t worry. The Penglai celestial race is a great celestial race after all. Since they have an Immortal Emperor, it’s impossible for them to not consider all factors thoroughly. When it comes to destiny, they are more cautious than anyone else. They know their limits,” Ji Wuya said in a deep voice.
At the level of fighting for destiny, every step contained great terror. It was impossible for the Penglai celestial race to act recklessly, neither did they dare to act recklessly either.
“Alright, there’s no need to dwell on this matter anymore. Our celestial race is too weak. We can’t partic.i.p.ate in the fight of that level like the Penglai celestial race. From now on, we only need to listen to the orders and will of the Supreme. There’s no need to worry about anything else. The Supreme’s junior will reveal himself during tomorrow’s cosmic tide. This is our opportunity, and we must seize it,” Ji Wuya said solemnly.
Hearing this, Ji Ruyue nodded heavily.
“I’ll go to the city gate and wait for the benefactor’s arrival.”
After saying that, Ji Ruyue immediately rode the celestial light and left the Nine Heavens Tower..
