Capítulo 1177: Chapter 1174: Breaking Off the Engagement?
The ‘Immortal’ and ‘Xuan’ characters, these two ancient characters have constantly been on Ye Xuan’s mind since they entered the Emperor Soul.
Every moment, he thinks about deciphering their mysteries.
However, after leaving the Dao Chu Ancient Land, Ye Xuan has been plotting, yet unable to unravel their secrets.
Now, he wonders if by using the Enlightenment Tower, any new changes might occur.
Upon reaching the highest level, Ye Xuan finds the prepared cushion, sits down, and enters a state of emptiness.
Ye Xuan does not actively make contact with the two ancient characters but empties himself, waiting for changes.
Within the Emperor Soul.
The ‘Immortal’ character remains as usual, pushed to the side.
The ‘Xuan’ character, however, stands as an overlord, occupying the central position.
As Ye Xuan enters the empty state, the two ancient characters faintly emit a trace of light.
The trace of light emanating causes Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul to slowly recover.
Ye Xuan’s Invincible Emperor Soul has never reached its peak state.
The nine thousand years of slumber and the betrayal from nine thousand years ago left him wounded and asleep for such a long time.
Up until now, Ye Xuan has been awakened for less than two years.
Such a brief period is naturally insufficient to restore the Emperor Soul’s power to its peak.
By this stage, it is difficult to rely on external forces to recover, and Ye Xuan can only gradually restore himself bit by bit.
The process is extremely slow.
However, now, as Ye Xuan enters the empty state, the power emitted by the two ancient characters significantly accelerates the recovery speed of Ye Xuan’s Emperor Soul.
Apart from this, there seem to be no other changes.
The “Sleeping Spring and Autumn” operates automatically.
Ye Xuan gradually enters the land of dreams.
The recovery speed of the Emperor Soul becomes faster and faster.
The Emperor Soul power consumed in the battle against the Evil God Sect Saint King is also rapidly being restored at this moment.
……
The stronghold of the Ji Family.
The matters of the battlefield have been mostly taken care of.
Ji Ziqing begins handling the internal affairs of Floating Mountain.
But at this time, Dou Su Saint and others return.
Accompanying them are many more powerful individuals.
Leading them is an elder with a youthful face and white hair, full of Essence Qi Spirit, walking with the stride of a dragon and a tiger.
“I heard that Ms. Ziqing has ascended to the position of Saint Master of Floating Mountain, congratulations!”
Before even stepping into the hall, this elder speaks with a hearty laugh.
The group steps into the hall.
Without waiting for Ji Ziqing to speak, they automatically sit in their seats.
Ji Ziqing watches the scene, a glint of coldness in her beautiful eyes.
“So it is the Primordial Saint True Person.”
Ji Ziqing smiles indifferently as she sets down the Jade Scroll, speaking softly: “May I ask why the Primordial Saint True Person has come such a long way?”
Regarding the battle with the Evil God Sect, Ji Ziqing did not mention much.
Although these guys came to the rescue.
The role played by Dou Su Palace in the entire battle was minimal.
Especially the Primordial Saint True Person and others.
Why did they arrive so slowly?
Simply because they wanted Floating Mountain and the Evil God Sect to fight to the death, then appear as saviors to claim more benefits from Floating Mountain.
Ji Ziqing had long seen through this.
Including the aim of the Dou Su Saint, she was also clear.
As for why the Guardian Gods of other states have not arrived.
Naturally, she sent people to notify the Guardian Gods of those states that the crisis of Floating Mountain had already been resolved with a big victory, so they need not come.
This result would also prompt those entities to reassess the current strength of Floating Mountain.
And they would not dare to underestimate Floating Mountain anymore.
The people of Dou Su Palace did not leave but came here because the Dou Su Saint was still here.
And because of the so-called engagement issue.
Ji Ziqing is very clear, more than anyone else, but she simply doesn’t mention it!
Yet, equally, the Primordial Saint True Person and the people of Dou Su Palace are aware of this matter.
The Primordial Saint True Person sips tea unhurriedly and says leisurely: “I heard that Floating Mountain was in trouble. Since we are all Guardian Gods of Nine States, we should join hands to fight against enemies. So we hurried to Floating Mountain as quickly as possible. Seeing Floating Mountain unharmed, my heart is greatly comforted.”
Ji Ziqing appears suddenly enlightened and says, “So the seniors of Dou Su Palace came to support Floating Mountain, but you arrived a bit late. Floating Mountain has already achieved a great victory.”
“It’s truly regrettable that the seniors of Dou Su Palace couldn’t witness the victory of Floating Mountain.”
Ji Ziqing shows a hint of regret.
The corner of Primordial Saint True Person’s mouth twitches slightly; this little girl’s words are indeed highly targeted.
The Primordial Saint True Person lets out a hearty laugh and says, “Floating Mountain having such power is indeed reassuring, but I heard that there were some issues with Ms. Ziqing’s engagement with the Saint Heir of my house. Could you clarify this issue?”
Ji Ziqing looks puzzled and says, “Issues? I am unaware of any.”
After she speaks, Ji Ziqing looks at the Dou Su Saint.
Dou Su Saint remains calm, speaking slowly: “Shortly after the battle ended, you were recognized by the “Zhou Yi Book,” becoming the new Saint Master of Floating Mountain. Then you said my engagement to you doesn’t count. Isn’t that an issue?”
The Primordial Saint True Person and a group of powerful individuals from Dou Su Palace all fix their gaze on Ji Ziqing, waiting for her response.
If this matter truly spreads, Dou Su Palace’s reputation will be ruined.
The dignified Dou Su Saint being jilted?
Who could bear such a thing if it got out?!
Ji Ziqing blinks, feigning innocence, and says, “I never said I wanted to marry you, so what is this matter, and where does this so-called issue come from?”
“You…”
Dou Su Saint is furious.
The Primordial Saint True Person also frowns, speaking in a deep voice: “So, it seems Floating Mountain doesn’t intend to acknowledge this marriage?”
All the strong individuals from Dou Su Palace frown at this moment, showing dissatisfaction.
If it weren’t for this matter, they wouldn’t have come all the way to Daozhou and Floating Mountain.
“Grandmaster Primordial Saint must be joking; Ziqing has made it clear. From the beginning to the end, I never agreed to this matter.”
Ji Ziqing speaks softly.
Bang!
The Primordial Saint True Person directly crushes the armrest and says coldly: “This matter was spoken by your previous Saint Master Ji Wenchang personally. If you do not acknowledge it, then summon him!”
Ji Ziqing calmly says, “Do you people not understand human language, or what? This is a matter between me and Dou Su Palace. How can anyone else’s words count?”
The Primordial Saint True Person squints and says, “The command of parents and the words of matchmakers are the decree of heaven!”
Ji Ziqing suddenly laughs: “Grandmaster Primordial Saint, despite being a Supreme, how can you bring mundane reasons here?”
“If Grandmaster Primordial Saint enjoys reasoning, then Ziqing can give you some recommendations.”
“After all, the three major Confucian families are all in my Daozhou.”
Although Ji Ziqing speaks in jest, her tone carries a tinge of coldness.
“Very well!” The Dou Su Saint stands up suddenly, facing Ji Ziqing, and says coldly: “I see it clearly now; you don’t intend to marry me because you’ve taken a fancy to that Ye Xuan!”
These words indeed carry some of Zhao Yulong’s handiwork.
