Chapter 650 - 348: Three-Way Pursuit (Part 3)

It seems a lot, but for the current Chu Ming, neither the Azure Ancient Juice nor the Azure Ancient Spirit Dew is of much use.

What he needs is a higher-tier spirit dew that can be beneficial to the Sea of Qi Realm, something the Ancient Tree Spirit currently cannot provide.

"However, through the spirituality of the High Willow Tree Spirit, there is indeed a new way to enhance the Wind Spirit Ancient Tree Spirit."

Originally, Chu Ming planned to expand the Wind Spirit Race as described in the "Cyan Cloud Secret Record," to strengthen the Ancient Tree Spirit through the prosperity of the tribe, but strengthening a tribe is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Though the Wind Spirit Race and the Spirit Contract Race have always been expanding, their enhancement to the tree spirit has been minimal.

Now, it’s better, the Ancient Tree Spirit can enhance itself by devouring other types of spirituality, pointing to a new direction.

The only issue is that it took three thousand years for the High Willow Tree to nurture even a weak spirituality, finding more spirituality for the Ancient Tree Spirit might similarly be very difficult.

Fortunately, he has recently killed many powerful adversaries and gained quite a few high-tier elixirs, which should last for a while, thus reducing the dependency on the Ancient Tree Spirit.

"It’s about time to explore the Seven-Star Kingdom."

Chu Ming flicked his finger, and the drop of Azure Ancient Spirit Dew flew beneath the lifeless old willow tree.

The old willow tree had given its spirituality to the Wind Spirit Ancient Tree Spirit, so maintaining its life with a drop of Azure Ancient Spirit Dew wasn’t a big deal.

...

Seven-Star Kingdom, Imperial City.

Unlike other countries where royal cities are filled with golden palaces, the royal city of the Seven-Star Kingdom has only seven halls.

The master of each hall is at least at the National Guardian Realm, and the first two halls exceed the National Guardian Realm, reaching the Seventh Realm Guiyuan Realm.

In other words, the Seven-Star Kingdom has a total of seven National Guardian Realms, the strongest being Xing Man and Han Court, who are at the Seventh Realm Guiyuan Realm.

However, two halls of the Seven-Star Hall are vacant because Xing Hong at Sixth Realm Perfection and Xing Rong at the mid-stage of the Sixth Realm were killed in the Yiyang Kingdom.

At this moment, in the First Star Hall of the Seven-Star Kingdom, the strongest individuals Han Court and Xing Man of the Seventh Realm were sitting atop, with three other National Guardian Realm experts at their sides.

Below them, over twenty strong individuals at the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm were kneeling.

"How’s the investigation going?" Xing Man’s brows furrowed, suppressing her anger between her brows.

"Report to the Second Star Lord," an elderly man with slightly white hair but sharp eyes hurriedly stood up, "the investigation shows that the Third Star Lord and Fifth Star Lord were killed by a young man in black."

The Seven-Star Lords of the Seven Great Star Palaces are known as Star Lords.

The speaker is the Fourth Star Lord of the Seven-Star Kingdom, named Xuan Jing, whose power is below that of Xing Hong at Sixth Realm Qi Sea Realm Perfection.

"This person not only killed the Third and Fifth Star Lords, but according to the investigation, Yiyang Yie and Yiyang Mountain from the Yiyang Kingdom, Yi Chentian from the Heavenly Inquiry Tower Yiyang Branch, and his senior brother Wu Dai, all died at the hands of the young man in black."

"And that’s not all," at this point, Xuan Yun, the Sixth Star Lord of the Seven-Star Kingdom, spoke up, "a few days ago, another earth-shattering battle broke out in the Yiyang Kingdom, suspected to be between the strongest of Yiyang Kingdom, Yiyang Lie, and the young man in black."

As the words fell, the hall plunged into silence.

On the stage, Han Court and Xing Man remained silent, their bodies emanating an aura of anger that sent chills down people’s spines.

"Two Star Lords, what I want to know is not that the young man in black destroyed the Yiyang Kingdom or his audacious acts of snatching the glory of the Heavenly Inquiry Tower; I want to know where this person is now!"

After a long while, the cold voice of the most powerful figure, Han Court, resounded in the hall.

Xuan Jing and Xuan Yun’s faces stiffened, afraid to answer.

The movements of the man in black were elusive; despite employing almost all forces available to the Seven-Star Kingdom, they still couldn’t trace his whereabouts.

"Star Master, Second Star Lord, we have already tried our best..."

Bam!

Before the words were finished, Xing Man’s golden chair exploded.

Xuan Jing, Xuan Yun, and the Seventh Star Lord Tai Xing hurriedly lowered their heads and bowed.

The three, who were amongst the billion-ranked National Guardian Realms of the entire Seven-Star Kingdom, could only submit before the mighty Seventh Realm experts like Han Court and Xing Man.

And the more than twenty Bone Marrow Cleansing experts below were kneeling on the ground, not daring to breathe heavily.

The atmosphere in the great hall was like a mountain pressing down on everyone’s heads.

"All of you, withdraw!"

In the midst of the heavy atmosphere, the strongest Han Court waved his sleeve, dismissing the crowd.

"Yes."

Xuan Jing, Xuan Yun, and others secretly sighed in relief, hurriedly saluting before retreating.

The great hall was left with only Han Court and Xing Man.

"Man’er," the enchanting young man Han Court gently stroked Xing Man’s long hair, "this person won’t escape."

"Brother Han?!" Xing Man’s brows immediately lit up with hope.

"This person is audacious enough to even dare to snatch from the Heavenly Inquiry Tower. What is the Heavenly Inquiry Tower? It’s not something one can just snatch from."

Smiling affectionately at Xing Man, Han Court said, "The Heavenly Inquiry Tower has branches all over the Ancient Profound Western Continent; their power is beyond what you and I can imagine."

"Chang Lu has a good relationship with a steward of the main tower of the Heavenly Inquiry Tower. According to Chang Lu, the Heavenly Inquiry Tower has already found traces of the young man in black."

"Where?" Xing Man eagerly asked.

But Han Court only shook his head: "This person stole treasures from the Heavenly Inquiry Tower, and they won’t let it fall into others’ hands, and despite Chang Lu’s many indirect inquiries, he couldn’t get an answer."

"However, Chang Lu said he will give me another reply before dusk today."

"Brother Han, what if Brother Chang Lu still cannot get the answer..."

"If Brother Chang Lu can’t get the answer, we can only use the True Intent Soldier Embryo as bait."

Han Court frowned slightly: "But this move is too risky, once the True Intent Soldier Embryo is leaked, even I might face death."

"Brother Han..." Xing Man’s expression turned gloomy upon hearing this.

"No worries, Brother Chang Lu has a good relationship with that steward, since he said he’ll give a reply, he surely has some assurance."
