Chapter 475 - 475 475 Emerging Prominently

Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Emerging Prominently Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Emerging Prominently The battle drew to a close.

All the powerhouses of Fire Cloud Palace and Xuanmen Sect met with tragic deaths.

The Dragon God Palace emerged victorious, except for Feng Wuchen who was seriously injured, Yi Tianqing and the others merely sustained minor injuries.

This battle was of utmost importance to the Dragon God Palace. For one, it served to deter the forces around them itching to make a move, and secondly, it cemented the Palace’s foothold and even boosted its reputation.

The news of the battle spread from the Dragon God Palace like a plague.

As a nascent force, although considered third-rate, the spread of this news left the second and third-rate forces within hundreds of miles utterly shaken.

“All the hundreds of powerhouses of Fire Cloud Palace and the Palace Master were killed? How is that possible!”

“All the powerhouses of Xuanmen Sect were wiped out too! The Sect Master and the three great elders were all killed!”

“How can a newly established force possess such formidable strength? The Palace Master of the Fire Cloud Palace was at the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm! What on earth is the background of this Dragon God Palace?”

“It’s said that the Palace Master of the Dragon God Palace is only at the First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, yet he wields the terrifying power of the Fourth Layer, and he also possesses a treasure that suppresses cultivation. The Palace Master of Fire Cloud Palace met his death at the hand of the Palace Master of the Dragon God Palace!”

“That’s not all, the most terrifying thing is the grand formation of the Dragon God Palace. The Sect Master of Xuanmen Sect was grievously wounded by the formation, then later killed by someone from the Dragon God Palace.”

“Dragon God Palace must have some formidable background indeed! How else could they have such a mighty formation?”

For a time, many of the surrounding second and third-rate forces and cultivators engaged in heated discussions, each of them incredibly shaken.

The Dragon God Palace’s battle served as a deterrent, and some forces that had intended to make a move now abandoned the idea.

The Dragon God Palace was too powerful; they simply could not afford to provoke it.

The Sect Master of Xuanmen died, not to mention that the strengths of leaders from other forces were on par with Mu Xi.

Without sufficient strength, no one dared to provoke the Dragon God Palace.

Unless they were a major force, but then again, major forces wouldn’t bother with second or third-rate ones.

That was precisely why Feng Wuchen had planned to deter the second and third-rate forces with an overwhelming show of force, at least ensuring the people of the Dragon God Palace could cultivate in peace.

After the battle, everyone in the Dragon God Palace was overjoyed.

“Worthy of our teacher, I knew he would have a solution, and indeed he did!” Zhang Junlan laughed atop a mountain peak.

“I have never seen such a powerful formation before. Teacher’s strength is only at the Fourth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, but the formation he activated could severely injure someone at the Seventh Level. It’s truly unbelievable!” Yanran said with a face full of shock and disbelief.

“Let’s go down,” said Zhang Junlan with a smile, taking Yanran by the hand as they flew down from the sky.

“Big Brother Feng! It’s Zhang Junlan and Yanran!” Miao Qingqing suddenly pointed into the sky.

“Teacher!” They descended, greeting Feng Wuchen with respectful salutations.

“You sure have good timing, kid. The battle’s over, and here you show up!” Liu Qingyang said with a chuckle.

Hearing this, Zhang Junlan laughed, “Yanran and I arrived a while ago. We wanted to help, but it didn’t seem right.”

In the starry realm, who didn’t know Zhang Junlan?

Throughout the entire Wuji Domain, there really wasn’t a power that didn’t know of him.

“`

If Zhang Junlan were to show up, all the large and small forces would know that the Dragon God Palace is backed by the Zhang family. This, in turn, would indeed be beneficial to the development and expansion of the Dragon God Palace, but it would also mean fewer opportunities for toughening up.

“Little Zhang, have you found all the medicinal herbs?” Feng Wuchen asked with a smile.

Zhang Junlan nodded and said, “Almost, we only need a stalk of Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass. It wasn’t available at the auction, and despite days of searching, there’s been no news. The auction house later helped me inquire, and a Sixth-Grade Alchemist happens to have one.”

“Although the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass is an ingredient for refining Sixth-Grade Elixirs, it is indeed very precious and rare,” Feng Wuchen said, nodding in agreement.

Feng Wuchen could see at a glance that Zhang Junlan was facing a dilemma and then asked, “This Sixth-Grade Alchemist is unlikely to part with the Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass easily, right?”

“You’re right, Teacher. He wants to exchange it for an Immortal Artifact Pill Furnace,” Yanran replied.

“What? A stalk of herb for an Immortal Artifact Pill Furnace? That old bastard is really opening his mouth wide like a lion. Why doesn’t he just go rob someone?” Liu Qingyang burst out indignantly upon hearing this.

“Immortal Artifacts are treasures that everyone dreams of possessing. Not to mention Seven-Colored Bright Moon Grass, even materials for refining Eighth or Ninth-Grade Pills are far inferior to Immortal Artifacts!” Yi Tianqing said.

“Zhang Junlan, why don’t you simply send a powerful person to kill him and take it by force?” Luanshen suggested.

“This Sixth-Grade Alchemist is named Han Kun, and he holds some prestige in the Wuji Domain. At the alchemy conference five years ago, he defeated several Sixth-Grade Alchemists and was hailed as the strongest Sixth-Grade Alchemist. Killing him for the herbs would tarnish the Zhang family’s reputation,” Zhang Junlan said with a wry smile.

“Oh? The strongest Sixth-Grade Alchemist in the Wuji Domain?” Feng Wuchen replied, slightly surprised.

“Yes, he is the one most likely to break through to the Seventh-Grade Alchemist level!” Zhang Junlan nodded.

After a pause, Zhang Junlan continued, “Although my grandfather is able to refine Immortal Artifacts, it would take a lot of time. I am worried that Yanran cannot wait that long, so I had to seek Teacher’s help. With your skills in Artifact Refining, Teacher, refining an Immortal Artifact would be as easy as turning over one’s hand.”

“Where is this Han Kun?” Feng Wuchen asked.

“He said he’ll stay at the auction house for three days and leave the Wuji Domain after that,” Zhang Junlan hurriedly replied.

“We’ll go to the auction house tomorrow. Yanran’s condition indeed shouldn’t be delayed for too long. Instead of wasting time searching, it’s better to get it directly from Han Kun,” Feng Wuchen said calmly.

Feng Wuchen had been severely injured and, although he had taken an Elixir, he still needed time to heal.

“That’s great! Thank you, Teacher!” Zhang Junlan was overjoyed, and Yanran’s pretty face also showed a happy smile.

Early the next day, having fully recovered from his injuries, Feng Wuchen immediately set off for the star realm auction house with Zhang Junlan.

Feng Wuchen had been to the star realm auction house once before and had a very bad impression!

If it weren’t for Zhang family’s Qi Jade, Feng Wuchen probably couldn’t have bought that Blood Jade Bodhi.

The news of the Dragon God Palace’s defeat of the Fire Cloud Palace and Xuanmen Sect spread wider and wider until even some of the major powers heard about it, though they didn’t take it too seriously.

The Zhang family and the Immortal Tool Pavilion were already aware of this and had expected it.

In just one day, the news had also reached the auction house. As soon as they entered the city, they heard many people discussing the Dragon God Palace.

In a matter of days, the Dragon God Palace, as a newly risen power, was already making a name for itself.

“Teacher, it won’t take long for the Dragon God Palace’s renown to spread throughout the star realm,” Zhang Junlan said with a smile.

“That would be good. It gives them time to prepare mentally. The future overlord of the star realm will be none other than the Dragon God Palace!” Feng Wuchen said with a proud smile.

Zhang Junlan shrugged and teased, “Teacher, you’re already the overlord of the star realm; it’s just that no one in the star realm knows it yet.”

The Immortal Tool Pavilion had already submitted to Feng Wuchen, and the Pavilion Master had even taken him as his master. The overlord of the star realm would have to address Feng Wuchen as Master, naturally making him the de facto overlord of the star realm!
