Chapter 282 - Cloud Heart Palace
Chapter 282: Cloud Heart Palace
Boom!
A clear sound resounded throughout the palace.
A powerful aura radiated from Elder Tian Xuan’s body.
This aura far surpassed the peak of the Quasi-emperor Realm.
“Half-step Emperor?!”
Chu Yueli exclaimed.
She would never forget the aura of a half-step Emperor.
Back in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, Shi Shan, an elder of the Desert Sword Sect, had broken through to the half-step Emperor Realm.
It was the same suffocating majesty.
She did not expect that the moment Elder Tian Xuan’s hidden injuries were cured, a breakthrough in cultivation would follow.
Soon, the hall returned to its usual calm.
Elder Tian Xuan woke up from her meditation and felt the powerful aura in her body. She was ecstatic.
She walked up to Ye Changge and knelt down. She said respectfully, “Senior Ye, you gave me a new life, just like my birth parents did. If you need anything in the future, I, Tian Xuan will go through fire and water to help you achieve it.”
At this moment, the shackles that had troubled Elder Tian Xuan were finally resolved.
She had even successfully broken through to the Half-step Great Emperor realm. All of this was made possible by this senior.
She had no way of repaying this favor. She only had this life.
“Elder Tian Xuan, you’re being too serious!”
Ye Changge smiled and lifted Elder Tian Xuan up with his palm.
To him, this was just a trivial matter.
As he spoke, he looked at Bai Ao Xian.
Bai Ao Xian smiled and looked at the elders. “This senior has saved my Heavenly Snow Palace many times. I have decided to gift the Heavenly Inquiring Stone to you, and let this be the start of a good relationship with you.”
When she said this, the entire hall fell silent.
The Heavenly Inquiring Stone was a secret treasure of their sect. It was left behind by the founder of their sect.
It had an extraordinary meaning.
The sect master wanted to give it to Ye Changge?
The other elders looked at each other and nodded silently.
If it was anyone else, these elders would not agree.
But Ye Changge was different. He had a great favor for their sect.
First, he subdued the Taotie, then he solved the problem of Elder Tian Xuan’s constitution.
These favors were greater than the heavens. A small Heavenly Inquiring Stone was indeed nothing.
Moreover, they could not wait to do so. This way, they could establish a relationship with Ye Changge, and the value of a Heavenly Inquiring Stone would be much higher.
The elders looked at it and cupped their hands towards Bai Ao Xian. “Sect leader, you are wise.”
As they spoke, their gazes were still lingering on the two of them.
Their sect leader’s appearance was comparable to that of a celestial immortal, and Senior Ye was also like a dragon or a phoenix among men. If they could form a good relationship with him, it would be perfect.
However, such matters could not be rushed.
They still had to think long-term. The Heavenly Inquiring Stone was a very good start.
It was equivalent to a betrothal gift given to Senior Ye by the sect master.
Thinking of this, the elders all had smiles on their faces. They felt indescribably content.
Bai Ao Xian’s face turned red. How could she not see through everyone’s gazes?
Looking at Ye Changge’s indifferent expression, she said, “Big Brother Ye, the Heavenly Inquiring Stone is in the forbidden area of our sect. It’s already late. Why don’t I bring you to it first thing in the morning?”
“Sure!”
Ye Changge nodded.
There was no rush. Tomorrow would come soon enough.
When it did…
Under Bai Ao Xian’s lead, they walked towards the Cloud Heart Palace.
The Cloud Heart Palace was in the southernmost part of the sect. The mountains were tall and the water was beautiful. The birds sang and the flowers were fragrant.
It was a place to entertain special guests. It was usually not open to the public.
When they reached the square…
Many disciples were excited.
“This is the mysterious senior. He looks so young.”
“I heard that the Taotie was in the hands of the senior and couldn’t fight back.”
“He is so powerful. Even our sect master and the elders are no match for the Taotie. I wonder what his cultivation level is.”
“I wonder what his cultivation level is.”
They all knew that there was a mysterious expert who had easily subdued the Taotie.
One had to know that their sect master and the other elders were all at the peak of the Quasi-emperor Realm.
With the support of the array, they had spent more than a month’s time but still could not seal away the Taotie.
And this mysterious man had actually made the Taotie submit so easily.
One could imagine how terrifying this man was.
This was a true expert, a person who stood at the top of the world.
Then, the group arrived at the Cloud Heart Palace.
This palace was built against a mountain, and there were waterfalls left behind. The scenery was beautiful, and auspicious clouds lingered around.
“Brother Ye, rest well! I’ll bring you there tomorrow morning.”
After Bai Ao Xian finished speaking, he instructed the maids in the palace to take good care of Senior Ye.
Then, she left.
The maids nodded in agreement, their eyes shining brightly.
Even if the sect master had not said anything, they would still treat Senior Ye well.
They had also heard about the power of the Taotie. Even their sect master could not do anything about it.
If it were not for this senior’s arrival, the fate of their Heavenly Snow Palace could be imagined.
They would definitely be destroyed.
As for women, they adored powerful cultivators.
Moreover, not only was Ye Changge powerful, his appearance was also peerless. His body emitted an inexplicable temperament.
It was like fragrant nectar he exuded, and the maids were deeply infatuated with him.
The moment they met Ye Changge’s gaze, they quickly lowered their heads.
“Alright, we don’t need you here anymore. You can leave first!”
Ye Changge waved his hand and the maids left the palace.
“Master, you really don’t want to consider their sect leader!?”
At this moment, Ning Manman sat opposite him, pressing her palms to her cheeks as she stared fixedly at Ye Changge.
Bai Ao Xian’s looks were outstanding, and her temperament was excellent. More importantly, she was so pure and innocent when it came to love.
Where could she find such a good match?
Anyway, she felt that she was very compatible with her master.
“Ouch!”
Just as she was saying this, she suddenly felt a pain in her head.
She looked at Ye Changge with a wronged expression and said, “Master, you hit me again!”
“Nonsense!”
Ye Changge said helplessly.
Ning Manman’s mischievous behavior was sometimes useful to make everyone happy, but most of the time, it was like an explosive device that was chaotic and unpredictable.
Just like today in the main hall, her words were shocking.
Although he had already practiced maintaining the indifferent expression that made it look like thunder could not budge him, others were different.
Bai Ao Xian’s face had turned red several times throughout the entire process in the palace today, and the scene was so awkward.
However, she did not believe her master’s words.
If he did not like her, why was he still staying in the Heavenly Snow Palace?
In her opinion, the Heavenly Inquiring Stone was a ruse.
His master had taken a liking to her.
Ning Manman smiled meaningfully, thinking that she had truly seen the essence of the matter.
Ye Changge did not express an opinion.
He was thinking about the Heavenly Inquiring Stone.
