The Supreme Lord Donghuang - Chapter 196
Chapter 196: Traversing the Galaxies
As the leader of the Divine Light Sect, Tuo Jin’s mental capacity far surpassed that of any ordinary person. If the young man in front of him had wanted to eliminate the person who had wanted to avenge Lin Hantian, he would have also killed Lin Jue after killing his two disciples.
Why spend so long toying with Lin Jue? With his power, it was easy to just kill Lin Jue. But, he had waited until the other two Golden Essence elders of the sect had appeared before he had made a move. Furthermore, he had challenged the three of them at once… and in the end, he had only killed Lin Jue.
What did this mean?
It signified that the man wanted to demonstrate his power in front of all of them. By challenging the three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect, it was simply for him to shock the whole sect. The man was definitely not here just regarding the death of Lin Hantian.
“Sir, you have come to our Divine Light Sect… surely it is not just to find out who wishes to avenge Lin Hantian?” Hearing their own sect leader ask Zhou Donghuang this, the highest ranking persons in the sect, including the Left and Right Shield of the sect, all turned to look at Zhou Donghuang.
“Mm.” Zhou Donghuang nodded as he replied, “Seeing who wants to avenge Lin Hantian was just a whimsical idea of mine. I am here today to discuss something with the Divine Light Sect.” Zhou Donghuang went straight to the point.
“May I ask what it is regarding?” Seeing the power of the young man before him, Tuo Jin, the leader of the Divine Light Sect, did not dare to put up a front. He even brought himself down and asked respectfully.
“Your Divine Light Sect shall move out of this area around the spirit stone quarry… I want this place,” answered Zhou Donghuang flatly.
The Divine Light peak on which the sect was built was the biggest quarry of spirit stones in the whole Ziyun planet. It was because of that that the forefather of the sect had opened a path through the mountains and founded the sect here.
Zhou Donghuang had come to get the Divine Light peak from the sect. Before leaving the planet, he wanted to find a good place for his family to stay. The Divine Light peak was clearly the best spot on the planet.
After Zhou Donghuang spoke, the whole place was quiet.
In a moment, Tuo Jin regained his senses as he stared at Zhou Donghuang in shock, his voice trembling as he asked, “Sir… you… you must be kidding?”
“I, Zhou Donghuang, do not have the time to joke with you,” responded Zhou Donghuang. In that instant, his eyes turned fierce, showing his seriousness.
In that moment, the faces of all the highest-ranking persons of the Divine Light Sect turned dark, including the sect leader Tuo Jin, the sixth elder, Tuo Kong, and the twelfth elder, Chen Yan.
The young man in front of them had really asked the whole sect to leave their Divine Light peak and hand over the base of their sect, on which they had been founded a thousand years ago, to him?
…
Luohe galaxy, Tianxuan planet.
“Granny, Father, you don’t have to take me any further.” In the skies above the Luo family household, a young girl in a long dress with beautiful features stood beside a woman in a long black robe, whose expression was stone-cold. She spoke to an old woman and a man in front of her.
The old woman was dressed in a billowing green robe, her figure shriveled. She looked at the young girl, her eyes filled with unwillingness. Her mouth trembled as if she was about to say something, but finally, she did not say a word.
“Qinghan, be careful out there, don’t be too careless.” The old man was in a flowing silver robe, his features upright and clear. He looked handsome and had a royal air. This was none other than the chief of the Luo family, Luo Wuchen.
“Granny, Father, once I enter the sect and familiarize myself with the environment, I will find time to come back,” said Luo Qinghan as she nodded to the old woman and the man. She then turned to the woman beside her as she said, “Senior, we can leave now.”
“Mm.” The woman nodded, then brought Luo Qinghan and the other people behind her as they flew away from the Luo family household.
Luo Qinghan did not dare to turn back. She was afraid that if she saw her granny, she would regret her decision and back out. But she was well aware that if she continued to stay on Tianxuan planet, her progress would be limited.
A year ago, a group of people who claimed to be from faraway Hengliu galaxy had descended upon Tianxuan planet. They had claimed to be recruiting disciples for the premier sects in Hengliu galaxy.
They had just one condition: an ultimate Primal Core adept who was less than thirty years old, or a late Primal Core adept who was less than twenty-five years old.
Of course, this was purely on a voluntary basis.
As long as anyone fulfilled the condition, they could register and before leaving, someone would arrive at the door to personally fetch them from Tianxuan planet, leaving Luohe galaxy for Hengliu galaxy.
“Tianxuan planet is too small, and Luohe galaxy is also too small.” Tianxuan planet had not had a Primordial Soul adept in more than a thousand years, despite the fact that Tianxuan planet was among the most resource-rich planets in Luohe galaxy.
If one did not leave the galaxy, no matter how talented, one would find it difficult to enter the Primordial Soul stage. Although Luohe galaxy had a Primordial Soul adept currently, it was still extremely rare.
But in Hengliu galaxy, any ordinary Primordial Soul adept was as common as a dog, while stronger Primordial Soul adepts were rather common too. Even early Primordial Soul adepts were plentiful. In the sects of Hengliu galaxy, an ordinary Primordial Soul adept could not even become an elder. But in Luohe galaxy, any ordinary Primordial Soul adept was regarded so highly that they were considered supreme in the whole galaxy.
Hence, Luo Qinghan had taken this opportunity to leave Luohe galaxy while she was still young. The woman who had fetched her was just one among the group that had arrived from Hengliu galaxy. Some other adepts had recruited many others from the planet.
“Yuan Zheng!” As the woman led Luo Qinghan to meet with the others who had been recruited from the planet, Luo Qinghan saw a familiar figure.
It was none other than Yuan Zheng, the youth sect leader of the Yunzhou Sect.
Back then, her close friend had drugged her and tried to sell her to Yuan Zheng. If she had not managed to escape then, her whole life would have been ruined! So, now, seeing Yuan Zheng, Luo Qinghan’s expression turned cold. A murderous glint flashed deep within the recesses of her eyes.
At the same time, Yuan Zheng also noticed her. His eyes lit up as he came towards her, saying, “Miss Luo, you are also going to Hengliu galaxy?”
Luo Qinghan did not pay him any attention. Although she was confident that she was no weaker than Yuan Zheng was, but it was extremely difficult for her to kill him right then. Furthermore, even if she had the ability to kill him, she would not be able to do anything right then. If she had made a move, it would have been taken as a form of disrespect by those from Hengliu galaxy, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.
All she could do was to ignore Yuan Zheng for now. Eventually, once she grew strong enough and surpassed his level of skill, it would not be too late to take her revenge then.
“Miss Luo, I hear that there are many premier sects in Hengliu galaxy… why don’t we enter the same one? Then, the two of us from the same hometown can look after each other and improve together.” Seeing Luo Qinghan ignore him, Yuan Zhen was not only not infuriated, but seemed to take it as normal, as he smiled and spoke.
“Scram!” Luo Qinghan glared at him as she muttered lowly. Her voice was sharp enough that it attracted the attention of many others around her.
No matter how thick-skinned Yuan Zheng was, when he was faced with the stares of the group of people, his expression faltered slightly. As he looked at Luo Qinghan, there was a murderous glint in his eyes that made Luo Qinghan feel as if she had caught the eyes of a poisonous snake.
“Since Miss Luo does not wish to be disturbed, I will not disturb you.” On the surface, Yuan Zheng was smiling gleefully, as if he was entirely unaffected. Of course, this was nothing more than a facade. Inside, Yuan Zheng was furious as he muttered quietly, “Luo Qinghan, you had better pray you do not end up in my hands… otherwise, I will rape and kill you!”
“Let’s go.” Soon, after the group had gathered, they had made their way towards the galaxy teleporter and planned to teleport away from Tianxuan planet towards one of the transit planets along the way to Hengliu galaxy.
“We’ll be leaving Tianxuan planet soon.” On the way to the galaxy teleporter, Luo Qinghan could not help but feel a tinge of unwillingness, as if she could not bear to leave. After growing up for so long, this was the first time that she had left Tianxuan planet and traveled out of Luohe galaxy.
As for the time where she had been mistakenly sent by the teleporter to Ziyun planet, that was nothing more than an accident and could not be considered a long journey to her.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the depths of Luo Qinghan’s memory. A young man in white, his features sharp and handsome, his aura extraordinary. This man had appeared many times in her dreams and had once again appeared without warning in her memory.
“Based on his age and level then, he would be bound for nothing much on Ziyun planet… now, he probably has already married and started a family, leaving a simple but happy life?” said Luo Qinghan to herself. Although she did not understand why but whenever she thought of that, there was always some kind of despair that emerged strongly within her, as if she had lost something especially important to her.
She took in a deep breath to shift her attention. “Who knows… what kind of sect I will enter in Hengliu galaxy?” There were many resource-rich planets in the galaxy and many sects that she could possibly enter. The recruiters had come from an alliance that had been hastily assembled by the many premier sects of Hengliu galaxy.
The alliance had been distributed across many different galaxies that were not as resource-rich as Hengliu galaxy, and they intended to recruit people who were interested in joining the premier sects of Hengliu galaxy and bring them back. Then, after bringing together the hundreds and thousands of adepts from across the galaxies, the premier sects would then evaluate them together.
