Chapter 215: Welcoming Chen Qiu to the Heaven Sovereign Throne!

Zhang Kui: "..."

July Cat: "..."

Little Moon: "..."

As the Sect Master of Ten Thousand Beasts Sect finished speaking, everyone in the room froze for a moment before reacting, and they all stood motionless.

Before going down the mountain, I had already used the Yin-Yang Inversion entry once.

So, before descending the mountain, he should have been a man?

July Cat, hiding under the table, was already tipsy, but her fox eyes shone with a sharp light. She took another swig of spirit wine, her ears standing erect.

This gossip was getting juicier.

She knew that as long as she lived long enough, she would get to hear some juicy gossip.

"..."

Zhang Kui's mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but his body remained stiff for a long time without uttering a word.

The atmosphere in the room turned silent again.

The Sect Master of Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's eyes turned red, and his voice was hoarse as he said, "Six hundred years ago, when I left the sect to train, I was in a playful mood and wanted to try wandering the world in a female form."

"I never expected to meet you."

"Your gentleness was something I had never experienced before. Many times, I even gradually forgot that I was born a man. Being with you, I felt a sense of security I had never known before."

"I truly enjoyed the days I spent with you."

"Many times, I even told myself that perhaps it wouldn't be so bad to spend the rest of my life with you in a female form."

"But..."

"In the end, I still failed."

"I'm sorry..."

"I made you wait for so many years, and I deceived you for so long."

"..."

"..."

Little Moon's mouth slowly opened wide, and she looked at her master in disbelief, feeling at a loss for words. The face was so familiar, yet today, for some reason, it seemed oddly unfamiliar.

Inside the room, the only sound was the occasional chewing coming from under the table. The entire room was so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping to the floor could be heard.

After a long while, Zhang Kui's voice turned hoarse as he looked up at Wang Qi, "Little Qi, tell me, is this all true?"

"..."

The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Elder lowered his head, unable to meet Zhang Kui's gaze. After a long silence, he said in a low voice, "It's true, I'm sorry, truly sorry, I..."

Before he could finish, Zhang Kui suddenly interrupted Wang Qi, his expressionless face calm as he said, "Look at me."

Wang Qi instinctively looked up.

Zhang Kui suddenly reached out and touched his forehead, and then his entire face seemed to shatter like broken porcelain, with cracks covering his cheeks. The entire face suddenly shattered.

Revealing another face hidden beneath this one.

A face so delicate it seemed like it could be broken by a mere touch, and quite beautiful.

Her long black hair flowed behind her.

While she may not be considered a peerless beauty, she had the allure of an experienced woman.

Then, in front of Wang Qi, Zhang Kui untied her robe and removed the cloth binding her chest, revealing her feminine features. Her voice became crisp, and her eyes, filled with complexity, looked at Wang Qi with a deep sense of gentleness.

"Actually, I deceived you too."

"I was born a woman, but soon after, my entire family was slaughtered. It's easier for a woman to face danger when wandering the world, so I used a secret art to change my appearance into that of a man."

"Over the years, I often asked myself if I truly loved you."

"And now, after learning that you were originally a man, I feel relieved."

"Wait a moment—"

Little Moon, expressionless, pinched her temples and closed her eyes, saying calmly, "Quiet, let me think for a moment."

"The situation is that my master was originally a man, and you are actually a woman, right?"

"Good, very good."

"I'm curious; since you're a woman, how did you manage to force yourself on my master back then?"

As her words fell, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Kui's face. She took out a jade dragon root from her embrace, "This... I've cherished it for six hundred years, and I occasionally use it myself."

"..."

The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Elder, who had been silent and expressionless, suddenly spoke up, "I said it hurt a bit back then."

"You let me touch you."

"I'm a bit dazed."

After a hundred breaths, Little Moon sat on the bench, holding the nine-tailed fox in her arms, looking at Zhang Kui, who was crying and hugging her master in the distance. She muttered in a daze, "It's good; although the process was a bit twisted, the outcome is right in the end."

"In the end, lovers become each other's companions."

She then looked down at the little fox in her arms, "What do you think, Little Fox?"

July Cat nodded her small head affirmatively.

"Wait a moment—"

Little Moon suddenly reacted, "Did I suddenly gain a master's wife?"

"Or the second female demon of the Xuantian Continent?"

"Or a top-tier Formation Cultivator?"

It's good.

With such a luxurious lineup, perhaps they could make a name for themselves in Cloud City, "Xuantian State," on the Vast Continent.

Xuantian Continent, Underworld.

Ever since Chen Qiu's last visit to the Underworld, where he almost wiped out the Demon Clan, including the Profound Void Ancestor, the Demon Clan in the Underworld lost its elite combat power and instantly became an easy target for everyone.

The cities that once belonged to the Demon Clan were quickly reclaimed one after another.

It was clear to any observant person that the Demon Clan in the Underworld was on the brink of extinction. Without Incarnation Realm experts, what remained were mostly weaklings. Unless a large number of Incarnation Realm experts emerged from the Demon Clan, their fate was sealed.

But how could that be possible?

Breaking through to the Incarnation Realm was not easy; how could they break through in large numbers?

However, as the saying goes, miracles do happen, but they may come in ways beyond your understanding! Just as the Demon Clan in the Underworld was continuously retreating on the battlefield...

A miracle occurred.

Hundreds of Demon Clan Incarnation Realm experts, exuding intense killing intent and with grim and unsightly expressions, suddenly appeared and launched a counterattack at the call of a young Demon Clan member.

No one knew where these hundreds of Incarnation Realm experts came from.

It was simply unimaginable.

But one thing was clear: the human race in the Underworld was about to be at a disadvantage again.

Unless the human race could also produce a large number of Incarnation Realm experts.

But how could that be possible? Breaking through to the Incarnation Realm was not easy, let alone doing so in large numbers.

Xuantian Continent, Central Province.

At this moment, many late-stage Divine Transformation cultivators on the Xuantian Continent had already passed through the "Vast Channel" to the Vast Continent. Only a portion of them chose to remain on the Xuantian Continent, unwilling to venture to the new land.

Three days later, Chen Qiu, who was sunbathing on the beach in Quzhou, suddenly heard a Heavenly Path Edict ringing in his ears.

"Heavenly Path Edict: The Heavenly Dao senses that in Quzhou of the Xuantian Continent, a human cultivator named Chen Qiu has unified the continent with supreme might."

"Having completed one of the Xuantian Continent's Milestone Tasks, a statue has been erected in the Central Heavenly Palace."

"Additionally, he is granted a Middle-grade Heavenly Dao Spinner."

Immediately after—

Another Heavenly Path Edict resounded in his ears!

"Heavenly Path Edict: The Heavenly Dao senses that in Quzhou of the Xuantian Continent, a human cultivator named Chen Qiu has completed eleven Milestone Tasks with unparalleled means."

"Having completed one of the Xuantian Continent's Milestone Tasks, a statue has been erected in the Central Heavenly Palace."

"Additionally, he is granted a Middle-grade Heavenly Dao Spinner."

As the two consecutive Heavenly Path Edicts rang in his ears, Chen Qiu, who was lying on the beach in Quzhou, couldn't help but smirk. He stretched contentedly, feeling satisfied.

Not bad.

With all twelve Milestone Tasks completed, the entire Xuantian Continent was fully illuminated.

"Annihilating an entire clan."

"Possessing both a Twelfth Rank Golden Core and a Twelfth Rank Nascent Soul."

"Ranking first on the Heavenly Dao Rankings five times."

"Being nominated by the Heavenly Path Edict once in both the mortal realm and the underworld."

"Accumulating three trillion Virtue Points!"

"Being nominated by the Heavenly Path Edict twenty times."

"Breaking through the limits of heaven and earth!"

"Triggering ten Celestial Phenomena."

"Ranking in the top 100 of any Heavenly Dao Ranking a hundred times."

"Divine Transformation of the entire sect."

"Unifying the Profound Sky."

"Dao Equal to Heaven."

All twelve Milestone Tasks were accomplished, and the continent was fully illuminated. Twelve statues had been erected in the Central Heavenly Palace, but he didn't plan to inspect them immediately; instead, he intended to do so later.

It was time to head for the Vast Continent.

Before completing these two Milestone Tasks, he already possessed two First Rank Heavenly Dao Spinners. After fulfilling the "Divine Transformation of the entire sect" Milestone Task, he was rewarded with two more Middle-grade Heavenly Dao Spinners.

Just now, he was awarded four more Middle-grade Heavenly Dao Spinners.

These Heavenly Dao Spinners had automatically combined.

Transforming into—

A Supreme Heavenly Dao Spinner and a First Rank Heavenly Dao Spinner.

At this moment—

Another Heavenly Path Edict resounded, but this time, it echoed throughout the entire Xuantian Continent!

"Heavenly Path Edict: The Heavenly Dao senses that the Sect Master of the Mock Heaven Sect, Chen Qiu, a human cultivator, Heavenly Dao Saint, Heavenly Dao Antagonist, Human Race Patron Deity, and Peerless Talent, has successfully completed all twelve Milestone Tasks of the Xuantian Continent with awe-inspiring methods that shook heaven and earth and moved ghosts and gods!"

"Such a talent is blessed with the Heaven Sovereign Fortune of the Xuantian Continent.

"Bestow upon him a strand of Heaven Sovereign Fortune. The commoners need not emulate this, merely observe in awe."

The next moment—

An unprecedented Celestial Phenomenon enveloped the entire Xuantian Continent. Celestial music filled the air, and countless golden fragments, like snowflakes, descended from the sky, drifting into the bodies of every cultivator.

Then—

A black hole appeared in the sky, filled with golden light, from which a Celestial Ladder composed of thunder arcs extended, reaching all the way down to Chen Qiu's feet.

And—

On both sides of the Celestial Ladder, countless fairy maidens formed by condensed spiritual energy knelt, bowing their heads and chanting celestial music.

Chen Qiu narrowed his eyes, gazing at the Celestial Ladder that had suddenly appeared before him. He intuitively felt that stepping onto this ladder would lead him to the Vast Continent.

As the golden fragments rained down like snowflakes and entered his body, he witnessed his Virtue Points skyrocketing.

His cultivation progress was also rapidly increasing.

40%.

60%.

Soon, he reached—

"Cultivation Progress: Divine Transformation Ninth Stage (99%)"

He was just a step away from the Divine Transformation Peak. After a year of arduous cultivation, his progress had been nearly stagnant, but this Celestial Phenomenon had propelled him to the brink of the Divine Transformation Peak!

This Celestial Phenomenon had a singular effect: it healed neither external nor internal injuries, solely advancing cultivation progress.

Whether one was at 70% of the third layer of Foundation Establishment or 0% of the fourth layer of Divine Transformation, they were all boosted to 99% of their respective stages.

Regardless of the starting cultivation progress or the current realm, the advancement was fixed at 99%.

It was evident that for those who had recently broken through, this Celestial Phenomenon had the most significant impact. For Divine Transformation cultivators with higher cultivation levels, the effect was still remarkable, as their progress was much harder to improve compared to Nascent Soul cultivators.

At this moment—

Ao Tian and the others rushed over. Upon seeing the Celestial Ladder, they instantly understood its significance, their faces filled with excitement as they looked at Chen Qiu.

"Let's go."

Chen Qiu turned to the group, smiled, and then, leaning on the Heavenly Clue Umbrella, he stepped onto the Celestial Ladder composed of thunder arcs.

Ao Tian, Fatty Dragon, and the others hurriedly followed, gazing at the Celestial Ladder beneath their feet, momentarily unsure of what to do.

Chen Qiu led the way, looking up at the black hole at the top of the Celestial Ladder, and took each step forward with determination.

Beyond that black hole lay the Second Rank Continent, the Vast Continent.

It was a brand-new world, full of untold stories.

He could vaguely sense it.

Within the Central Heavenly Palace, high above the nine heavens, after the twelve statues were slowly erected, a throne appeared, prepared especially for him.

This Celestial Phenomenon lasted for an entire incense stick's worth of time.

Everyone on the Xuantian Continent stared at the Celestial Phenomenon above, their expressions dazed. They had witnessed the birth of a legendary figure.

Chen Qiu, the Sect Master of the Mock Heaven Sect, responded to their unspoken question, perfectly demonstrating what it meant to be a true talent and a true legend.

Everyone knew.

Chen Qiu had departed for the Vast Continent, and countless sects breathed a collective sigh of relief. The towering mountain that had weighed upon them had finally moved, and they felt a sense of liberation.

In a corner where no one paid attention—

In Quzhou, near the Endless Snow Mountain, in the town of Death's Town, a middle-aged man with a full beard anxiously called out to his teammates, preparing to dig out a young man buried under the snow.

Another young man, thinly clad, ventures into the Endless Snow Mountain to risk his life.

"Wife, prepare some chicken soup to nourish this little brother!"

"Alright!"

After ascending the Celestial Ladder and entering the black hole, Chen Qiu only felt a flash of white light before his eyes. When his vision cleared, he found himself in a mountain gorge.

This place was the Second Rank Continent, the Vast Continent.

Chen Qiu took a deep breath; the spiritual energy here was indeed denser than in the Xuantian Continent. Even in this remote mountain gorge, the concentration of spiritual energy was already on par with that of Central Province.

He brought Ao Tian and the others into his miniature world.

As a newcomer, it was best to keep a low profile.

He planned to first visit the Heavenly Palace to check on his throne, and then take Ao Tian, Fatty Dragon, and the others to investigate the situation in this world.

Otherwise, a group of Divine Transformation experts would be too eye-catching.

Before that, he turned his attention to the two strands of golden light revolving around his Nascent Soul. This was the reward for completing twelve Milestone Tasks—the Heaven Sovereign Fortune.

"Treasure Name": A Strand of Heaven Sovereign Fortune.

"Acquisition Source": By completing twelve Milestone Tasks on a continent, you can obtain the corresponding continent's fortune.

"Usage Effects":

1. Significantly enhances the effects of the Transcend Reality Field.

2. .

6: .-

“.”

Chen Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing at the panel before him. The Heaven Sovereign Fortune had multiple uses, and the simplest one was to greatly increase the power of a spell.

The term 'significant' wasn't clearly defined, but it was undoubtedly substantial.

After all, the difficulty of obtaining this strand of Heaven Sovereign Fortune was extremely high, and it was common knowledge that the more challenging something was to obtain, the stronger it was.

Additionally, it could significantly enhance the effects of the Transcend Reality Field.

The primary attack method of Essence Condensation was also a field, an advanced version of the Soul Transformation Realm, but with even greater might.

Once the field was activated, the entire world would change.

However, the rank of the field was the same as the Soul Transformation Realm. It was just renamed after breaking through to Essence Condensation.

For example—

The Tenth Rank Transcendent Sage Domain could still absolutely suppress the Sixth Rank Profound Void Domain.

The strict ranking system didn't change just because one had broken through to Essence Condensation. During Chen Qiu's time in the Demon Race, he relied on his Thirteenth Rank Incarnation Field to completely suppress the Profound Void Ancestor's Transcend Reality Field, reducing it to nothingness. Afterward, he joined forces with the Demon Race Patriarch to send the Profound Void Ancestor to his demise.

One of the effects of this strand of Heaven Sovereign Fortune was to significantly enhance the effects of one of his Soul Transformation Realms, not by increasing its rank but by directly improving the Soul Transformation Realm's effects.

He had three Soul Transformation Realms:

"Boundless Spirit Energy", "Three Thousand Thunder Movement", and "Snow Births All".

He hadn't decided which Soul Transformation Realm to enhance, but among these three, he leaned towards enhancing the "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" Soul Transformation Realm.

With a thought, his body reappeared in the "Heavenly Palace".

Second Rank Vast Continent, Mystic Heaven State, Heavenly Palace.

At this moment, the Heavenly Palace gates were tightly shut, and only Chen Qiu stood alone inside. A red carpet was laid on the ground, and on both sides of the carpet stood six colossal statues, each several dozen zhang tall.

And each statue—

Was a highlight of his life in the Xuantian Continent.

Chen Qiu stepped onto the red carpet, his expression calm as he leaned on the Heavenly Clue Umbrella and walked towards the throne at the end of the carpet, passing by each statue.

The mysterious forces of heaven and earth seemed to guide him to relive the highlights of his past, as if they were being replayed, allowing him to experience those moments once more.

Before the massive army of the Evil Clan, the hidden rage beneath his heavily injured body.

Under the celestial phenomenon, the kindness on his face.

The sunlight shining on his face, his back against the darkness, the alternating light and shadow on his face.

The highlights flashed by rapidly.

When everything faded away, he had reached the end of the red carpet and the throne composed of thunder arcs."

Chen Qiu's expression was calm as he leaned on the Heavenly Clue Umbrella, standing silently before the throne for a long time before suddenly laughing and slowly sitting down.

The next moment—

The entire Heavenly Palace was suddenly bathed in golden light, and the heavens and earth rumbled incessantly, praising Chen Qiu's name.

The tightly shut Heavenly Palace gates slowly began to open outward.

Sitting on the throne, Chen Qiu's first sight was the countless complex-faced cultivators standing outside the Heavenly Palace, rooted in place, gazing at him.

These cultivators displayed various emotions: disbelief, confusion, astonishment, and envy. The faces of these people reflected the complexities of life.

Immediately following—

A Heavenly Path Edict resounded throughout the entire Vast Continent.

"Heavenly Path Edict": The Heavenly Dao senses that the Human Race's Mock Heaven Sect's Sect Leader, the Heavenly Dao Saint, the Heavenly Dao Antagonist, the Human Race's Patron Deity, and the Peerless Celestial Talent Chen Qiu, through unparalleled means, has become the Heaven Sovereign.

Congratulations on the birth of the Heaven Sovereign.

With supreme might, he has earned the title of 'Heaven Sovereign' and becomes the first in the Vast Continent to attain the 'Throne'.

A strand of 'Imperial Fortune' is bestowed in celebration, hoping that the commoners will follow this example.

As the Heavenly Path Edict echoed, the cultivators who had been standing outside the Heavenly Palace were suddenly overwhelmed by an unstoppable force of heaven and earth, causing them to kneel involuntarily, their faces filled with complex emotions, as they faced the inside of the Heavenly Palace where Chen Qiu sat on the throne.

Their voices, hoarse, shouted in unison.

"Welcome Chen Qiu to the Heaven Sovereign Throne!"

"Welcome Chen Qiu to the Heaven Sovereign Throne!"

In an instant—

Throughout the Vast Continent, within the Mystic Heaven State, everyone, regardless of cultivation, was overwhelmed by an unstoppable force of heaven and earth, kneeling on the ground, their faces contorted as they involuntarily shouted towards the direction of the Heavenly Palace.

“.”

On the throne composed of thunder arcs, Chen Qiu's expression was calm as he leaned back against the throne, gazing at the kneeling cultivators outside the Heavenly Palace gates.

Before sitting on the throne, a panel shrouded in mist appeared, clearly informing him of what he would gain and face upon taking the seat.

He was well aware of what awaited him after ascending the Heaven Sovereign Throne.

But.

He still sat down.

The reason was simple.

He believed that he was meant to be the Heaven Sovereign.

If he didn't sit. No one else in the world could.
