Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 837: Earth-Shattering Opportunity

"This person's strength is extraordinary."

Wu Yi's expression was solemn as he looked at the old man and said, "The Da Xia Dragon Sparrow Knife was severed by his sword, even with the power of Emperor Weapons, but his own strength is absolutely comparable to that of a Deity. Father, do not underestimate him."

This old man was none other than Wu Yi's father, the former king of Yin Shang "Geng Ding," named Zi Xiao.

During his reign, he was already a Saint King.

Now, he had become a Deity.

"Zi Qu need not worry." Zi Xiao's expression was calm, and with seemingly everything planned, he said lightly: "As long as one holds the Emperor Holy Weapon, a weakling is just a weakling; even if comparable to a Deity, he is ultimately only comparable."

He did not consider that Qin Heng could harm a true Deity. The power at this realm level had already far exceeded any previous two realms' disparity.

The distance from a Saint King to a Deity is farther than the distance from a mortal to a Saint King!

Qin Heng was merely Innate.

In Zi Xiao's view, he was simply an ant; the disparity is too great, truly too great, with no comparability at all.

"Father, my worries aren't without reason." Wu Yi, however, still maintained a solemn expression, saying, "This person has a mysterious background, seemingly appearing out of thin air, even receiving courtesies from the Taiyin Star God Palace. It's likely that he harbors considerable secrets."

"Taiyin Star God Palace?" Zi Xiao raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, his snow-white eyebrows twitched, and he said, "Such an Ancient Divine Sect would not court an Innate level boy solely for his strength."

"This boy might have an identity and background that we do not understand." Wu Yi nodded, saying, "For this reason, we absolutely cannot be careless; no one can be certain if he has prepared other Secret Techniques.

Father, if that boy possesses Secret Techniques and erupts suddenly, even you and I might not remain unscathed, and might even face injury or the risk of death."

Wu Yi had once truly faced Qin Heng in battle and clearly felt the power Qin Heng possessed.

It seemed to be a completely different force from traditional Martial Dao, appearing merely at the peak of Innate, yet powerful to the extreme, not at all weaker than a Great Saint, especially with the Emperor Holy Weapon, making him comparable to a true Deity.

"Then we'll see whether he arrives tomorrow as promised." Zi Xiao was not worried, lightly smiling as he spoke, "If he comes, it would be walking into a trap and seeking death, not seeing reality, unable to accurately gauge his own strength, a worthless fool.

If he does not come, it means Zi Qu you're mistaken; he lacks true strength, hiding in Guanghan Palace earlier, for such a minion, we don't even need to act ourselves, he will self-destruct."

Wu Yi was briefly silent, then sighed slightly, saying, "This person..."

"No need to say more." Zi Xiao waved his hand, stopping Wu Yi from continuing, and said, "Begin organizing the ritual; I'll be waiting on the side, as long as that spawn dares to show himself, I'll kill him with a palm strike!"

Confidence!

Absolute confidence!

Zi Xiao never once considered Qin Heng a threat, viewing him as nothing but a tiny ant.

Insignificant, trivial!

He could crush him effortlessly!

...

"What!?"

Shao Ying's beautiful eyes widened, looking at Qin Heng in disbelief, saying, "Mr. Qin, what did you just say?"

Earlier, Shao Ying had excitedly informed the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace after receiving Qin Heng's assurance that he wouldn't step out of Taiyin Star God Palace, and then the Palace Master asked her to accompany Qin Heng for a chat.

Clearly still worried, fearing Qin Heng might head to Chaoge on his own.

But just now, Qin Heng suddenly proposed a suggestion that left Shao Ying extremely shocked, completely stunned and feeling utterly incredulous.

"For you and the Palace Master to visit Chaoge and witness the ceremony." Qin Heng smiled lightly, saying, "Wu Yi's ritual, which involves the entire Da Shang's fate and momentum, awaits the descent of the deity, you two will gain great fortunes, great opportunities."

"Mr. Qin, you're joking, right?" Shao Ying said with a bitter smile, "Didn't you promise earlier not to leave Taiyin Star God Palace, and now you're changing your mind?"

Shao Ying knew well that the deity Wu Yi's ritual awaited is Qin Heng, and Qin Heng expressing this clearly indicated he intends to respond to Wu Yi's ritual and descend there.

This would simply be walking into a trap!

"You tell your master." Qin Heng said plainly, "This time, it might let her directly enter the realm of Saint King, and similarly allow you to instantly reach the Nine Heavens of the Great Saint."

"What!?" Shao Ying was shocked by Qin Heng's words, for a moment feeling parched and said tremulously, "Instantly reaching the Nine Heavens of the Great Saint, I, I am only at the Semi-Saint level, and Master just recently achieved the Great Saint, how could she directly enter the Saint King? This, this..."

She was almost incoherent.

Qin Heng's words were truly too shocking, extremely incredible.

"You seek out your master, she will understand." Qin Heng waved his hand, speaking no more.

Shao Ying had no choice but to find the Palace Master of Guanghan and relay Qin Heng's words verbatim, awaiting the response from the Palace Master.

Directly entering the realm of Saint King!

Such temptation, even with the Palace Master of Guanghan's rationality, is hard to resist.

The question remains: is Qin Heng speaking the truth?

"Master, do you believe this?" Shao Ying saw the Palace Master of Guanghan's excited expression, seeming somewhat moved, and couldn't help but worry.

"The method to directly enter the Great Saint realm is exaggerated, but Mr. Qin is the reincarnation of an ancient mighty figure; he should not deceive me, nor need to." The Palace Master of Guanghan briefly closed her eyes, reflecting, then said after a moment: "Shao Ying, you stay in the palace; I'm heading to Chaoge."

"Master!?" Shao Ying was suddenly alarmed.

"The Taiyin Star God Palace needs a Saint King!" The Palace Master of Guanghan said firmly, her eyes resolute.

"Then I'm going too." Shao Ying took a deep breath, saying, "Together with Master."

The Palace Master of Guanghan was momentarily silent, finally sighed deeply, nodding and saying, "Alright!"

...

Chaoge City had by this time restored its former grandeur and magnificence.

Even the previously shattered city walls by Qin Heng were restored to their original state, even more robust, fortified by the divine formations enhanced by Zi Xiao, the Deity.

It was midday, with the sun hanging high.

Within the royal city, solemnity prevailed as King Wu Yi of Shang followed the ritual's guidance, coming to the altar in Chaoge City's center, ready to conduct the sacrificial ceremony, kneeling to welcome the deity's descent.

Zi Xiao was among the crowd, his eyes half-closed, with an indifferent demeanor, completely unconcerned with Qin Heng's impending arrival.

The Palace Master of Guanghan and Shao Ying were also in the city but at a distance. Upon seeing the commencement of the sacrificial ceremony, their hearts were tense, questioning if Qin Heng's words would come true.

The sacrificial ceremony completed, Wu Yi knelt before the altar.

Three hours quickly passed!

Buzz!

Suddenly, the world trembled, winds and clouds changed, and the sun, which had been gradually setting in the west, suddenly became radiant and scorching, even more powerful than at noon!

Simultaneously, in the east of the sky, a round moon rose, pristine as jade, pure and immaculate, like an incomparably perfect warm jade suspended high in the sky!

Moonlight is often gentle, no matter how bright it is not blinding.

But this time was different; at the moment the moon rose, everyone had an illusion that the moonlight seemed even stronger than the noon sun!
