Chapter 633: Divine Oracle Golden Order

High above the clouds over the Wu Family’s territory, two figures floated.

One of them wore a long, golden robe. His face was majestic, and his every move exuded a noble air. He hovered in the sky, looking down upon the world with an arrogance that suggested this was his rightful place.

The other was a tall, slender woman with an exquisitely beautiful face and long, thin eyebrows. However, a wisp of Evil Qi clung to her, lending her an unapproachable aura.

These two were none other than the Divine Lord and Meiying Venerable!

The pair had arrived the moment they sensed the disturbance in the Wu Family’s domain. They hadn’t intervened, however, because they wanted to see what Qin Ya was capable of.

“Heh, it seems he didn’t use that Saint’s technique you mentioned.”

“A few of my Inspectors once reported, after returning from the Demon Heart Valley, that Qin Ya possessed a technique to summon a great tower. With a single move, he destroyed the medium for the Demon Cave that even a Venerable couldn’t handle. Its power was said to be extraordinary.”

“But in this battle, he didn’t use it. Instead, he used the River Mountain Box, leveraging Xiao Jianfeng’s power to destroy the Blood Pillar. I didn’t expect him to be able to connect the Space within the River Mountain Box to the outside world. That was quite surprising.”

Meiying Venerable’s eyes flickered as she gazed down at the Blood Lake below, the corners of her lips curling up slightly.

Seeing this, the Divine Lord said calmly, “He has many secrets, and his strength is formidable. Controlling him would be no easy feat, so our only choice is to foster a good relationship with him. After all, the potential of a Saint’s Inheritor is beyond imagination.”

Then, as if a thought occurred to him, he added, “What interests me now isn’t his strength, but his skill in the Alchemy Dao. Can he truly cure Yen’er’s ailment? You know, even the Pill Kings of the Divine Capital were helpless.”

“The Pill Kings were helpless, but that doesn’t mean he will be,” Meiying Venerable said faintly. “Besides, he’s the most promising person we’ve found in years.”

“Sigh. One can only hope.”

Meanwhile, down in the Wu Family’s territory…

WHOOSH! Qin Ya shot out of the Blood Lake.

His True Essence circulated, and with a sudden jolt, he evaporated the blood from his body. He then looked toward Wu Xue, who was bound in chains, a mocking smile on his face.

“Well, well, if it isn’t Great Elder Wu. What’s all this then? Tied up here?”

Hearing this, Wu Xue nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood. He glared at Qin Ya with vicious eyes, the wrinkles on his face bunching together, making him look savage. Though bound by chains, he still tried to lunge at Qin Ya.

“It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be in this state!”

“I won’t let you go even if I die!”

At these words, Qin Ya’s expression turned cold. He walked right up to Wu Xue and, with a sharp SLAP, struck him across the face. “You won’t let me go even if you die? I imagine when you killed all those Celestial Humans, some of them probably said the same thing. The hatred in their hearts back then must have been quite similar to what you feel now.”

“You…”

The slap left Wu Xue stunned. His right cheek swelled up, turning a bruised purple-red, and trickles of fresh blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

“You bastard,” Wu Xue said, his face contorted with rage.

But Qin Ya acted as if he hadn’t heard and slapped him again.

Wu Xue tried to fight back, but Ce Tian pulled on the chains, holding him fast. Immobilized, Wu Xue could only stare at Qin Ya with eyes full of boundless hatred.

“For defying the Divine Intent and committing such an act that has incurred the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people.”

“I, Ce Tian, in accordance with the will of the Divine Lord… shall grant no mercy!”

As his words fell, Ce Tian’s True Essence surged. He unleashed his full power, channeling it into the chains. The chains erupted in a silver light, instantly grinding Wu Xue into a bloody mist.

With a SPLAT, a rain of blood fell into the Blood Lake, dissipating along with it.

The rest of the work was simple.

Ce Tian suppressed the remaining resistance within the Wu Family and confiscated all their wealth. The entire process took less than half a day.

However, what surprised Qin Ya was the sheer scale of the Wu Family’s wealth.

Setting aside everything else, they had nearly three billion Primordial Stones alone, not to mention the various Elixirs, Spiritual Artifacts, and other Exotic Treasures. The numbers were astronomical.

Qin Ya couldn’t help but marvel at this.

‘This is just one Celestial Nobility Family. What kind of resources would a Celestial Marquis, or even the Divine Palace, possess? It’s staggering just to think about.’

“Qin Tianjue, we have you to thank for your help this time,” Ce Tian said with a smile.

“It was nothing, merely the lift of a finger,” Qin Ya replied with a faint smile.

At that moment, many Half-Venerable Strong People approached.

“Heh, Qin Tianjue is truly a prodigious youth. To have such achievements at such a young age, he’s truly set a precedent in the history of our Divine Country.”

“That’s right. Qin Tianjue’s contributions to suppressing the Wu Family were indispensable.”

“Indeed, indeed. It’s truly made us see him in a new light.”

“Ha, in my opinion, Qin Tianjue should be considered the foremost of the Divine Country’s younger generation. To receive the honor of a Celestial Nobility at such an age is unprecedented.”

“Qin Tianjue, if you have the time, why not come visit my Lu Family?”

“I’m sure my Qian Family’s Celestial Nobility would also be delighted to befriend Qin Tianjue.”

“My Yun Family still has two unmarried young ladies, around the same age as Qin Tianjue. If possible, our two families could visit each other often.”

The people all around showed goodwill toward Qin Ya, expressing their desire to befriend him. Qin Ya responded to each one in turn. His smooth and socially graceful manner couldn’t help but make a good impression.

Soon, Qin Ya returned to the Divine Palace with Ce Tian and had an audience with the Divine Lord.

In the great hall of the Divine Palace.

“Qin Ya pays his respects to the Divine Lord.”

“Ce Tian pays his respects to the Divine Lord.”

“You may dispense with the formalities.”

The Divine Lord remained seated on the grand throne in the hall. He looked at Qin Ya and said, “Regarding the operation to suppress the Wu Family, Commander Ce Tian has just reported the full details to me. Qin Tianjue’s contributions were indispensable. I wonder, what reward do you desire?”

Qin Ya thought for a moment, then said plainly, “I have only just arrived and do not yet have a place to live. The Wu Family territory granted by the Divine Lord is temporarily uninhabitable due to the Blood Lake. If it’s possible, I would trouble the Divine Lord to bestow a residence upon me.”

“Oh?”

The Divine Lord couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

Not because the request was too much, but because it was too simple. The entire Divine Capital was his territory; bestowing a mere residence was the simplest thing in the world.

“Very well. I shall bestow the Divine Palace’s Shenxiu Pavilion upon Qin Tianjue.”

Qin Ya’s brow furrowed slightly. ‘Living within the Divine Palace… it seems the Divine Lord’s gesture has a hint of surveillance to it.’ But on second thought, he realized it didn’t really matter where he lived, so he agreed. “I thank the Divine Lord.”

“Think nothing of it, Qin Tianjue.” The Divine Lord gave a faint smile, then took out a Golden Jade Order. “This is the Divine Oracle Golden Order. With this order, you may move freely throughout the Divine Palace. I shall bestow it upon you as well.”

As he spoke, the Divine Oracle Golden Order landed in Qin Ya’s hand.
