"Senior, Iâll go meet my big brother right away and have him come greet you personally."
Just stepping onto the spaceport, Senluo eagerly prepared to leave first.
However, as soon as he lifted one foot, he was frozen in place.
The woman in the plain robe walked past him slowly and said:
"Why rush? Weâre already here, whatâs a little more time? Accompany me for a walk first."
"Let you both know, this place was once one of the holy lands of the Cangqing Divine System among the Five Pillars of the past, hmm..."
After taking just a few steps, she suddenly paused, looking somewhat surprised as she looked up and murmured:
"Itâs actually been unsealed?"
"This place is probably the first of the eleven ascension platforms to be unsealed, no wonder... that young man has already inherited three parts of the Heavenly Destiny."
She resumed walking with newfound ease, and Senluo and You Chengkong couldnât help but follow her.
The group left the spaceport and stepped into the Taian Metropolitan Circle.
The woman in the plain robe, with attire distinctly different from the Federationâs style, stood out in the crowd. But today is different from the pastâwith the influx of martial artists from the Nine States and various other realms, the citizens of the Federation were long used to it and generally avoided them due to such martial artistsâ identities.
Suddenly, the woman lowered her head.
The corner of her robe was held by a passing little girl, who looked at her curiously, reaching out with a chubby hand, seemingly wanting to touch her Daoist Crown.
The woman in the plain robe smiled, pinched the little girlâs cheek, and placed a blessing on her brow for this "fated" child.
This harmonious scene caused Senluoâs mouth to twitch uncontrollably.
When did this person become so kind?
During their forced journey to the Great Universe, they had witnessed her mercilessly slaughtering quite a bit.
"Sorry!" The girlâs parent hurried over, picked her up, and apologized, "Sorry for the trouble."
Faced with the woman in the plain robe, whose demeanor was otherworldly, there was a subtle wariness in the parent. After the apology, they quickly left with the child.
The woman in the plain robe wasnât bothered, waving back to the parent and the girl who was waving goodbye over the parentâs shoulder.
It is precisely for this reason, that among the countless beings, those who share a connection seem so precious.
She looked at invisible threads in her hand, recently drawn from the girlâs body.
Following these threads, her gaze penetrated the many layers of void, falling upon a specific Divine Temple.
"Letâs go." She spoke plainly.
Along the way, the three encountered many martial artists from other realms.
By now, it had been two days since Ji Jingqiu took action.
Because they were on the space route earlier, the three hadnât heard the latest battle updates, only learning about them from the roadside chatter.
"...Among the current Divine Prohibitions, Ji Jingqiu was the last to break through to Heavenly Person, initially thought to need more time for consolidation, but unexpectedly, as soon as he broke through, he caused a sensation."
"This Ji Jingqiu is indeed a heaven-sent genius, and this Yanhuang Federation is a treasure land. A millennium ago, there was He Donghuang and Ji Tianxing, and a millennium later, it gives birth to this one too. Is it the unending fate ordained by Heaven?"
The three walked past a roadside tavern, hearing someone curse:
"They want me to test Ji Jingqiuâs background? The higher-ups must be out of their minds! They think we can run ourselves ragged... lose our lives!"
"Heh, as expected, we are just expendable pawns."
"What if weâre pawns? Nobody considers a pawnâs life as a life? Who makes a Heavenly Person probe someone who seems to have Heavenly King combat power?!"
"Itâs just too bizarre... The higher-ups donât believe it, what can be done?"
"Alas, that person didnât finish speaking that day, was suddenly cut down."
"Shh, it was obvious someone didnât want them to continueâ"
"Has the identity of those people been exposed?"
"Haha, the Four Demons have all shown up, do you even need to ask? Naturally, they are Four Gods Sect of the Great Universe. By normal logic, daring to join forces to ambush Ji Jingqiu, these folks surely arenât just one Great Heavenly Position, the question is if thereâs a Heavenly Person Perfection among them."
"A Great Heavenly Position, still cut down in one strike?"
"To say so... can this child on the East Three Bright Star truly match a Heavenly King?"
"Hard to say..."
Upon hearing his elder brotherâs latest achievements, Senluoâs face broke into a smile, joy unmistakable.
The woman in the plain robe seemed to be deep in thought.
Even a Great Heavenly Position couldnât withstand a blade, coupled with the traces of battle left on this planet, and the subtle "presence" in Heaven and Earth.
Could this guy on the East Three Bright Star achieve an unconventional [Daluo Heaven] state?
And with already verified [Omnipresence], on the East Three Bright Star, this child is practically a miniaturized Heavenly King.
Though she hadnât met Ji Jingqiu yet, with the womanâs insight, she quickly discerned Ji Jingqiuâs current true situation, eighty to ninety percent correct.
If it were truly as she speculatedâ
The woman in the plain robe had an odd expression, realizing that Senluoâs expectations were indeed justified.
In such a Heaven and Earth, she really was no match for this "landlord" youngster and would be suppressed.
Under her lead, the three gradually approached the central Divine Temple.
At a corner.
Senluo saw a pair of conspicuous nostrilsâa guy with one nostril facing the sky, covered in an aura of "I have a background," approached them, then suddenly stopped, his expression changing drastically.
Kong Li suddenly stopped and upon seeing the Daoist Crown on the womanâs head, his expression changed dramatically.
The woman in the plain robe glanced at him, ignored this proud peacock, and led Senluo and You Chengkong past Kong Li towards the Divine Temple.
Behind them.
Kong Li widened his eyes, yet didnât dare to stare too conspicuously, only able to observe with the corner of his eye.
That Daoist Crown...
