Chapter 994 - 79: Mu Qingge Favored!

Chapter 994: Chapter 79: Mu Qingge Favored!

"He actually climbed fifty-two steps on the Dao Guang platform!" Chu Nian’s calm face finally gave way to shock.

This time, she couldn’t help but be amazed.

During the discourse of the Four Divine Domains held in the South Divine Land, she once took first place, entered the Dao Guang, and used all her strength, but only reached thirty steps.

And in the record of the Four Divine Domains in the South Divine Land, no disciple has ever climbed fifty-two steps. The highest record was forty-eight steps, set tens of thousands of years ago.

In the Dao Guang, each step represents a different feeling.

This little God Emperor from the East God Land Huan Yue Domain actually managed to reach fifty-two steps!

"Father, if I am not mistaken, in the Four Seas Divine Land, no one has ever climbed fifty-two steps on the Dao Guang platform, right?" Chu Nian took a deep breath and asked.

The Wuhua God Emperor slowly nodded, "You are not mistaken. Therefore, this person’s talent is far beyond what we can imagine. No wonder the Huan Yue God Emperor would support him as a little God Emperor."

After saying this, he added, "In any case, his visit is an opportunity. If the interaction goes well, this might be the link between our Wuhua Domain and the Huan Yue Domain."

Chu Nian remained silent.

She disliked her father’s calculating approach to everything.

Even though he was already a God Emperor, why did he have to calculate gains and losses in everything he did? The East God Land Huan Yue Domain has always been a transcendent existence, indifferent to the affairs of the Four Seas Divine Land. Yet their transcendent status is supported by a deep and unfathomable strength that leaves those who disagree with them helpless to act.

Thus, she could understand her father’s calculations but could not agree with them.

The visitor is a guest, and she had no objection to being asked to entertain the little God Emperor from the Huan Yue Domain, nor did she feel anything was amiss. However, being asked to approach with a purpose, or rather with an intent to please, made her feel some resistance.

"Nian’er, fulfill this task well on behalf of your father." The Wuhua God Emperor, seemingly knowing what she was thinking, added a precautionary reminder.

While father and daughter were discussing Mu Qingge, she and Yin Chen were being led by the Wuhua Domain’s foremost disciple, step by step towards the Divine Emperor Palace.

On the way, Mu Qingge and Yin Chen appreciated the beauty of Wuhua Palace.

As for the Divine Demon Puppet, their consciousness originates from Mu Qingge, so what they see is equivalent to what Mu Qingge sees.

The foremost disciple of the Wuhua Domain showed great curiosity towards the Divine Demon Puppet, but since Mu Qingge did not take the initiative to explain, he dared not ask too much.

"Little God Emperor, please this way." Lu Ye showed great courtesy to Mu Qingge, with a kind of respect within that courtesy.

Of course, Mu Qingge understood well that the respect was not because of her, but because of the powerful background of the Huan Yue Domain behind her.

From Linchuan to the Middle Ancient Realm, she did not have much background to rely on.

The Mu Mansion in Qin Country’s Luodu was already shaky at her appearance, allowing her only the title of a minor lord and the Emperor’s apprehension to leverage. In the Middle Ancient Realm, she built her status entirely on her own abilities, relying on no one.

Now, having arrived in the Divine Land, she chose an advantageous path with powerful backing due to a single word from Zhuang Shan.

Her clarity of mind was so firm that she had almost forgotten if not for her efforts, the Huan Yue God Emperor would not have supported her to be the little God Emperor.

"Here is our Wuhua Domain’s Divine Emperor Palace." At the peak, Lu Ye said to Mu Qingge and the others as they stood in front of a grand and magnificent palace.

After his introduction, he saw a slender and tall figure standing outside the palace doors.

A flicker of admiration appeared in Lu Ye’s eyes, very apparent, but he carefully restrained it, not showing it again.

"Princess!" Lu Ye respectfully said.

His current respect was sincere, unlike his courtesy towards Mu Qingge, which was due to her status.

Lu Ye’s words turned Mu Qingge and Yin Chen’s gaze towards Chu Nian.

Seeing the rumored Wuhua Princess Chu Nian for the first time, the little God Emperor of Wuhua Domain, Mu Qingge, raised an eyebrow lightly, internally remarking, "She is indeed a beauty who transcends the mundane."

Yin Chen’s appearance was already top-notch, even when standing beside Mu Qingge, he did not seem lesser. His blood-colored eyes looked at Chu Nian with only a faint glance, then calmly withdrew.

It seemed that in his heart, no woman could compare to his master beside him.

Mu Qingge and Yin Chen’s looks were extremely exquisite, causing Chu Nian to appear somewhat dim in comparison. However, her beauty was not the flamboyant brilliance of Mu Qingge, nor the seductive charm of Yin Chen. Her elegance had a unique allure.

While they were observing Chu Nian, she was also evaluating them.

She was quite curious about what kind of person the little God Emperor from the Huan Yue Domain was. But at the first sight of Mu Qingge, she was momentarily stunned.

It seems she had never imagined that the Young God Emperor of Huan Yue Domain would be such a handsome and strikingly beautiful young man. Even the silver-haired, blood-eyed enchanting man beside her was equally outstanding. The two attendants behind them also wore stern expressions, their appearances handsome and fine.

Such people, even when silently standing there, would make one feel their presence brightly.

Suppressing the awe in her gaze, Chu Nian descended the steps and approached them, first addressing Lu Ye: "Leave the rest to me, you may go now."

Lu Ye lowered his eyes; Chu Nian’s approach made him somewhat reserved.

However, he maintained his composure well, responded calmly, and then withdrew.

After he left, Chu Nian finally gazed at the four from Mu Qingge’s group, letting her gaze roam over them before it settled on Mu Qingge, resplendent in red attire. "Welcome, Young God Emperor of Huan Yue Domain. I am Chu Nian."

Her introduction was succinct to the extreme, as if saying one more word was a luxury.

Luckily, Mu Qingge did not mind and, with a slight nod, responded to her: "Princess Chu Nian, I’ve heard much about you. I am Mu Qingge, from East God Land Huan Yue Domain."

"Your surname is Mu!" Chu Nian’s beautiful phoenix eyes flickered with an odd expression.

Aware of the sensitivity surrounding the surname Mu in Four Seas Divine Land, Mu Qingge had still decided not to conceal it. She smiled lightly, "Whenever I state my name, it always causes some surprise."

Chu Nian composed herself, returning to normal. With a faint smile, she said to Mu Qingge: "Please follow me, my father has been waiting for some time."

"I appreciate Wuhua God Emperor’s efforts," Mu Qingge replied.

Then, the four followed Chu Nian into the Divine Emperor Palace, proceeded through the great hall, and arrived beneath the elevated throne.

Mu Qingge raised her head, looking upwards at the figure perched on the throne.

This throne was constructed higher than that of Huan Yue Domain, compelling those below to look up in order to see the seated individual.

Mu Qingge gave a cold smile inwardly.

"This must be the Young God Emperor of Huan Yue Domain. Your visit to celebrate the emperor’s birthday is truly delightful," Wuhua God Emperor commented.

Mu Qingge offered a slight smile, humbly lowering her head, and calmly said, "Mu Qingge of Huan Yue Domain pays respects to Wuhua God Emperor."

"Your surname is Mu?" The moment he heard Mu Qingge’s name, Wuhua God Emperor’s expression transformed swiftly.

Mu Qingge raised her head, smiling as she said, "My name was mentioned in the decree announced by my God Emperor across Four Seas Divine Land. Why does it astonish God Emperor so much?"

Wuhua God Emperor fell silent.

Indeed, the decree did include names. But at the time, he had merely thought the matters of East God Land were irrelevant, especially concerning the transcendent Huan Yue Domain.

He merely knew there was a Young God Emperor in Huan Yue Domain, without paying attention to their surname.

Wuhua God Emperor’s facial expressions shifted several times before finally settling calmly. "Hmm, the emperor forgot momentarily." At that moment, his gaze fell upon the Divine Demon Puppet behind Mu Qingge, and he subconsciously squinted, surprised: "Divine Demon Puppet! This puppet requires someone at the High Rank Saint Realm or above to forge it; why do you have it?"

Without waiting for Mu Qingge’s answer, he mused to himself: "Could it be that the Huan Yue God Emperor crafted it for you to avoid difficulties on your journey?"

To have the Huan Yue God Emperor take blame for Elder Mo seemed fitting. In any case, Wuhua God Emperor wouldn’t personally go to East God Land to verify with Huan Yue God Emperor.

Therefore, Mu Qingge nodded smoothly, "Indeed. Recently, when the young emperor of South Divine Land’s Burning Sea Divine Domain encountered trouble, my God Emperor was concerned about potential threats during my travels, hence gifting me these two Divine Demon Puppets."

Her words came unruffled, while Wuhua God Emperor exclaimed in realization, "I see." Yet inwardly, he pondered: ’For the Huan Yue God Emperor to esteem this person so highly, their weight in Huan Yue God Emperor’s mind must be notable. One mustn’t underestimate and should surely treat them with care.’

After formulating his thoughts, Wuhua God Emperor instructed Chu Nian, "Nian’er, since the Young God Emperor Mu is in Wuhua Palace, for the next few days arrange appropriate accommodations; do not neglect the young emperor."

"Yes, father," Chu Nian nodded affirmatively.

Subsequently, Wuhua God Emperor said to Mu Qingge, "Young God Emperor Mu, since today is your first arrival, have Chu Nian accompany you for a tour. If there’s anything you require, feel free to inform Chu Nian."

Mu Qingge’s gaze sparkled, with a smiling nod, "I am grateful to God Emperor and Princess."

Originally, she intended to inquire about Wuhua Palace directly from Wuhua God Emperor post-meeting him. Unexpectedly, Wuhua God Emperor delegated Princess Chu Nian to host her.

’Unexpectedly, after going in circles, I’ve circled back to this princess again. Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll proceed as initially intended, to see if I can glean anything from this princess’s lips,’ Mu Qingge thought to herself.

Information relayed by Gu Ye suggested Wuhua God Emperor possessed portions of the Divine Strategy Lower Volume.

Divine Strategy has always been a coveted mystical book by the Divine Clan; should Wuhua God Emperor have acquired it, it might either be carried closely or hidden in Wuhua Palace’s most secretive and secure location.

Determining precisely where and the accuracy of this information must be finalized over the next three days.
