Chapter 1485 - 359: Divine Palace

Chapter 1485: Chapter 359: Divine Palace

Demon-Subduing Division.

After leaving the Imperial Palace, Shen Changqing came directly here.

Because he was still borrowing the origin of Purple Cloud Saint, he did not enter the Demon-Subduing Division openly, but rather took other measures to quietly infiltrate.

Although the Demon-Subduing Division was heavily guarded, this was relative only.

If an ordinary Divine Realm infiltrated, it would definitely be detected, but for a strong figure like Shen Changqing, infiltrating the Demon-Subduing Division could only be described as effortless.

Returning to the Demon-Subduing Division.

He did not go elsewhere, but headed directly to the Martial Hall.

Currently, there were many people present in the Martial Hall, but as Shen Changqing subtly shook his Divine Sense, everyone inside fell into a slumber.

"Who goes there!"

The unusual action startled Wu Shu, who was deducing Divine Skills, and abruptly interrupted his deduction.

Just as he was secretly shocked, a stranger appeared before him.

Looking at the cultivator before him.

For some reason, Wu Shu felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity surge in his heart.

After a while.

He asked hesitantly, "Supreme?"

"It seems I couldn’t hide from you."

Shen Changqing smiled faintly, not denying anything.

Dao Arms recognition.

Even if he borrowed another cultivator’s origin, he couldn’t completely erase the connection between them.

Hence.

He wasn’t overly surprised that Wu Shu could recognize him.

"It’s truly the Supreme!" The page of the Martial Arts General Principle trembled, revealing Wu Shu’s form.

The figure before him appeared unfamiliar, and even the aura was entirely different from Shen Changqing’s. If not for some inexplicable connection between them, he would never have associated it with Shen Changqing.

Yet, precisely due to this ineffable connection, he confirmed the other’s identity.

Immediately.

Wu Shu’s expression became somewhat excited: "The Supreme has returned. Are you staying this time?"

"I just returned for some matters and will likely leave shortly after." Shen Changqing shook his head.

He returned to the Human Clan only to handle some issues temporarily, with no intention of staying long.

Wu Shu’s expression showed some regret.

"Then what matters bring you back this time, Supreme?"

"This is for you; refine it, and you should advance to the seventh grade." With a motion of Shen Changqing’s Divine Sense, several Divine Crystals appeared before him.

"These are—Divine Crystals!"

Upon seeing those Divine Crystals, Wu Shu’s expression suddenly changed.

He had seen Divine Crystals before but never those imbued with such concentrated power of faith.

Even without truly absorbing and refining them, he could sense the surging energy within the Divine Crystals just from his own feeling.

Shen Changqing said, "These are Divine Lord Level Divine Crystals, containing exceedingly concentrated Faith Divine Power, much stronger than the Divine Crystals you’ve refined in the past."

If comparing purely by the quantity of Divine Power, the Faith Divine Power within a single Divine Lord Level Divine Crystal is undoubtedly no weaker than the power possessed by a Divine King.

Five Divine Lord Level Divine Crystals.

Equate to the complete Divine Power of five Divine Kings.

Even the weakest Heaven and Earth Divine King, the power contained within is enough to be described as fearsome.

Despite the difficult advancement of Legacy Dao Arms, fully refining five Divine Crystals should pave the way to advancing to the seventh grade Dao Arms.

"Thank you, Supreme, for your bounty!"

When looking at those Divine Crystals, Wu Shu’s gaze changed.

Divine Lord Level Divine Crystals!

He had gained some understanding from Shen Changqing’s past remarks about the strength of Divine Lords, which was beyond what even a Divine King could muster.

Though a Divine Lord Level Divine Crystal couldn’t truly be equated to a Divine Lord’s power, the Divine Power contained within far exceeds that of ordinary Divine Crystals.

Refine them!

He was certain he could advance to the seventh grade Dao Arms!

An inner voice emerged in Wu Shu’s mind.

Shen Changqing said, "The Divine Crystals are now yours; after advancing to the seventh grade Dao Arms, focus fully on deducing the Laws, and do not disappoint me."

"Rest assured, Supreme, I will certainly give my all and not let you down!" Wu Shu responded earnestly and respectfully.

"That’s good!"

Shen Changqing nodded, and as his words fell, his figure had already vanished from the Martial Hall.

His return this time was primarily to help Human Clan cultivators shield from causality, then provide some Spiritual Medicine to enhance their strength, so that those who could leave the Human Clan could bolster their prowess.

Additionally, he handed over the Divine Crystals obtained to Wu Shu.

The importance of Legacy Dao Arms.

Shen Changqing understood this very well.

If he can ascend to the Seventh Grade level, the benefits in the future are self-evident.

When he appeared again, he was already in the Heaven and Earth Gang Wind Layer.

He took a step forward.

Shen Changqing directly crossed the barrier of the heavens and arrived in the Void Realm, then took another step forward, leaving the scope of the Void Realm.

Entering the Death Forbidden Zone again, he didn’t intend to stay, heading straight out of the Death Forbidden Zone.

This is not a place to linger; if he encounters the Death Tide again, it could be quite troublesome.

——

Cloud Dragon Divine Clan.

Inside the great hall.

Cloud Emperor and a group of Cloud Dragon Divine Clan elders were seated there, and beside Cloud Emperor sat a young cultivator.

Many elders, when looking at the young cultivator, showed amazement and doubt in their eyes.

"Has Saint Heir come for instructions from the Divine Palace, or is the Divine Palace intending for the Saint Heir to enter the heavens and participate in this contention for fortune?" Cloud Emperor glanced at him, with a faint smile on his face, showing no attitude of a Divine Lord.

Yun Zhou calmly said, "My entry into the heavens this time is mainly for two things. First, a Heavenly Demon has broken through the interception and mingled into the heavens among us, and we need to find it!"

Heavenly Demon!

Upon hearing these two words, Cloud Emperor’s expression visibly changed.

"A Heavenly Demon has mingled in!"

"Cloud Emperor need not worry too much, this is the heavens, not a place for a Heavenly Demon to be reckless. If he dares to reveal any trace, the rules of the heavens will deal with him. But I am concerned now if he chooses not to reveal his traces and just lurks somewhere in the heavens.

If so, he might cause future troubles.

Therefore, the Cloud Dragon Divine Clan must assist in finding him."

As Yun Zhou spoke, there was a discernible chill in his eyes.

Cloud Emperor nodded, "The task of finding the Heavenly Demon, our Cloud Dragon Divine Clan will certainly spare no effort, but does this Heavenly Demon have any distinguishing features?"

"In terms of appearance, the Heavenly Demon has no features to speak of, for those strong enough can naturally display thousand transformations abilities. To try pinpointing the Heavenly Demon based on physical attributes alone is impossible.

However, the Heavenly Demon carries a unique demonic aura."

As Yun Zhou spoke, he produced a blue bead in his hand and handed it directly to Cloud Emperor.

"Collected inside this bead is the aura of the Heavenly Demon; Cloud Emperor only needs to find someone with this identical aura to find the true Heavenly Demon."

Upon hearing this.

Cloud Emperor accepted the bead, nodding slightly, "Good, later I will send messages to various clans, urging them to gather the presence of the Heavenly Demon aggressively."

"If we can find the Heavenly Demon first, there will surely be rewards from the Divine Palace."

Yun Zhou smiled faintly and then shifted his focus.

"Apart from the Heavenly Demon matter, the second purpose as Cloud Emperor said is indeed to compete for fortune.

This era of fierce contention is extraordinary; not only is the Divine Palace keen to participate but others from different factions won’t stand idly by either.

Thus, I hope the Cloud Dragon Divine Clan, will fully assist me. If I gain from this, Cloud Dragon Divine Clan shall also benefit generously."

Cloud Emperor remained silent for a while.

Then.

He calmly said, "The Saint Heir represents the Divine Palace, naturally, I should assist with full effort, but our Cloud Dragon Divine Clan has proudly heavens of its own. If we were to help the Saint Heir completely, how should our own proudly heavens contend?"

"Cloud Dragon Divine Clan’s proudly heavens?"

Yun Zhou sneered disdainfully, revealing derision.

"Cloud Emperor wouldn’t assert that anyone can be called proudly heaven. If Cloud Dragon Divine Clan indeed has proudly heavens who can outshine mine, I will depart without complaint."

"Good!" Cloud Emperor nodded, "Given Saint Heir’s confidence, I indeed wish to see how strong Saint Heir is. Please rest within the Divine Clan for a few days; I shall summon back the proudly heavens and inform Saint Heir then."

"Please expedite this so as not to waste any time."

Yun Zhou remarked casually, and in the next breath, left the great hall directly.

Such action.

Made many elders within the hall have faces as dark as water.

"He is too presumptuous!"

"Merely a Divine King dares act wild before our Cloud Dragon Divine Clan!"

Since when.

Such a small Divine King dares boast shamelessly before the Cloud Dragon Divine Clan.

Simultaneously, an elder confusedly asked, "May I inquire to our Emperor, what is this Divine Palace he speaks of?"

Judging from the attitude of Cloud Emperor, it was evident this entity named Divine Palace was no small matter.

Yet throughout the heavens, Cloud Dragon Divine Clan was considered a top divine clan, what force merits such serious consideration from Cloud Dragon’s Emperor?

Cloud Emperor shook his head, "You need not yet know much about the existence of the Divine Palace, only understand its considerable might and the closeness of our relations. Although Yun Zhou speaks arrogantly, he is nonetheless the Saint Heir from the Divine Palace, and you must not be disrespectful."

The other elders, even if slightly dissatisfied, could only contain their feelings for now.

Then.

Cloud Emperor took out the blue bead harboring demonic aura, and with his divine sense, the originally palm-sized bead split into countless small beads, distributed among the elders.

"Pass my imperial decree, our Cloud Dragon Divine Clan and all subordinate races must gather the presence of the Heavenly Demon aggressively, ensuring his whereabouts are discovered promptly.

Anyone who finds him, if an outsider can earn a complete Divine Kingdom; if one of our clan, may enter the Bloodline Pool."
