483: Chapter 483 Awakening

"What do you mean? Old Ghost Yin, speak plainly."

Ruan Zhen detested people like Yin Zong who didn't speak clearly, always saying half and keeping the rest to themselves.

Yin Zong said, "Although he successfully broke through to the Ninth Realm, he was very weak; he was taken down by Xie Zhiyuan in just a few exchanges."

"Is it possible that Xie Zhiyuan is simply too strong?"

Yin Zong shook his head. "No."

"When Xie Zhiyuan fought Wang Wei, he had been in the Ninth Realm for less than three days."

"While Wang Wei had already been in the Ninth Realm for a year. If Xiao Weiqing hadn't shown such incomparable strength, I'm afraid the Yao Race would have launched a massive invasion long ago."

"I even suspect that the invasion of three Demonic Race Demigods at the Luojiang Demon Realm Entrance a year ago was a premeditated attempt to test Great Xia's strength. As it turned out, Xiao Weiqing's power exceeded everyone's expectations."

"So the Yao Race's offensive was delayed, and the Wang Family was not exposed at that time."

"That makes sense."

Ruan Zhen nodded in response. Although he didn't like Yin Zong, the man's mind was certainly sharp, and his analysis was quite logical.

"By the way, speaking of Xiao Weiqing, why hasn't he appeared after the Yao Race has been attacking for so long?"

As soon as Ruan Zhen asked the question, everyone realized that in the tense atmosphere of the war, they had all forgotten the anomaly of Xiao Weiqing's complete absence from start to finish.

Yin Zong said slowly, "I don't know. I once asked Great Xia, but they didn't give a reply."

After speaking, Yin Zong looked at Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu in the main seat.

The others did the same.

Everyone knew that their Empire's Palace Master Yun Shu had an unusual relationship with Xiao Weiqing.

As for what kind of relationship it was, they couldn't say for sure and didn't dare to speak recklessly.

But it probably wasn't as simple as just being ordinary friends.

Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu opened her lips slightly. "I don't know. However, when it's time for him to appear, he will definitely appear."

In fact, at the beginning, she really didn't know where Xiao Weiqing had gone. Before going to the Star Dome, Xiao Weiqing only told her that he needed to leave for a while.

Palace Master Yun Shu Yun Shu didn't expect that once Xiao Weiqing left, it would be for a year.

But now, she had guessed that Xiao Weiqing should have gone to accept a Legacy. After all, she was present when the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy informed Xiao Weiqing.

...

Inheritance Grounds.

Inside a Training Room.

Xiao Weiqing had been lying on the ground for a full three months.

At this moment, Xiao Weiqing's brow was furrowed, looking like he might wake up at any time.

Sea of Consciousness.

An endless storm of saber light had been raging for three months.

Now, under the guidance of the golden Divine Soul, it had finally calmed down completely.

The golden Divine Soul beckoned, and countless saber lights gathered, condensing into an unrivaled war saber that was pulled into the lotus.

"Ugh..."

With a low growl of pain, Xiao Weiqing, who had been lying on the ground for three months, slowly opened his eyes.

"You're awake?"

Finch said from the side.

Xiao Weiqing struggled to climb up and shook his head.

"Yeah. How long was I unconscious?"

"Three months, seven days, and eleven hours."

"Three months?"

Xiao Weiqing was startled and hurriedly called out, "Xue Yuan, Xue Yuan."

"I'm here."

Xue Yuan appeared behind Xiao Weiqing, the smile on her face uncontrollable. Xiao Weiqing's performance had truly surprised her.

"During the time I was unconscious, was there any news from Azure Dragon Island?"

Xue Yuan restrained her expression and said seriously, "Yes."

"Tell me quickly."

Seeing Xue Yuan's solemn expression, Xiao Weiqing's heart sank, and a bad premonition welled up.

"Don't be nervous. From the current situation, it's still within control. You can solve it once you go back."

Xue Yuan didn't waste words and told Xiao Weiqing that the Yao Race had launched an all-out offensive. A total of five Demon Realm Entrances had been invaded by Demonic Race Demigods, with more than 20 Demonic Race Demigods participating in the battles.

Among them, three entrances were in Great Xia, one in the Tianlang Empire, and one in the Vermilion Bird Empire.

Thanks to the Ninth Realm Nirvana Warriors left by Xiao Weiqing, all the entrances were currently barely holding, but the losses for each country were not small.

The only one, the Changyi Demon Realm Entrance, suffered the most severe losses due to the betrayal of the Wang Family, who actively led the Yao Race in. It was later retaken by Xie Zhiyuan, stabilizing the situation.

That battle also completely exposed the Star Lord Realm Nirvana Warriors.

However, the Fox Race Demigod escaped unscathed, without even being injured. It can only be said that the Fox Race Demigods are indeed different from other Yao Race Demigods.

"Xue Yuan, can I return to Azure Dragon Island now?"

"Yes."

"Take me there quickly."

Xue Yuan stopped Xiao Weiqing. "What's the hurry?"

Xiao Weiqing looked at Xue Yuan. "I've already learned that Starry Sky Ultimate Technique from Third Senior Brother, but I can't use it yet. Staying here is no longer useful."

"I'll come back to take the subsequent tests after I break through to the Star Lord Realm."

Xiao Weiqing could feel that he had mastered that absolute technique, but his current Mental Energy was far from enough; forcing its use would only injure himself.

Once he broke through to the Star Lord Realm, he would naturally be able to use that move as his trump card.

"I wasn't talking about the tests."

"Then what is it?"

"Don't you want the things from before?"

"And those corpses outside—aren't you going to loot them?"

Xiao Weiqing slapped his forehead. Putting the corpses aside for a moment, he couldn't not take the things in that room; there were many treasures and Divine Artifacts.

"Here, I've prepared everything for you. Take it."

Xue Yuan handed Xiao Weiqing a Wristband, identical in style to the one on Xiao Weiqing's arm.

"This is?"

"You can think of it as a Space Ring. It was specially made to match the style of your Wristband. The space inside isn't huge, about a hundred cubic meters, but it's enough for you."

"Thank you."

Xue Yuan snorted softly. "Now you know how good I am. Don't use that method of yours anymore; it's easy to be discovered. It's fine in the Incubation Ground, but in the Universe, it's no different from telling others your net worth."

Xiao Weiqing's eyes lit up. He had long yearned for the legendary Space Ring.

Previously, he had used ten thousand calamities as a sealed pocket to store things within his body, which was quite inconvenient.

ten thousand calamities could not split infinitely. Bringing ten Nirvana Warriors from Ruins No. 9 was already the limit. Now, hearing Xue Yuan's words, he wouldn't use that method in the future.

"Xue Yuan."

"Hmm...?"

Xue Yuan narrowed her eyes.

"Beautiful Queen Xue Yuan."

"That's more like it. Speak, what is it?"

Xiao Weiqing asked, "Can I really touch the corpses outside?"

"Why not? They've been dead for so many years, the bodies are stiff. You can go see if they have any good things left on them."

"Although they only had Star Lord Realm strength, the weapons and armor they used are not ordinary. You can go try your luck; maybe you'll gain something."

Seeing Xue Yuan wink at him, Xiao Weiqing immediately understood.

"Thank you, beautiful and lovely Queen Xue Yuan."

"Hee hee, you're welcome. Go on, go on."

Xiao Weiqing turned and walked out of the Training Room where he had stayed for over a year.

"This isn't very good, is it? Although they all committed mistakes, the dead should be respected," Finch said, looking at Xiao Weiqing's hurried figure.

"What does it matter?"

"They've been dead for so many years; it's good for them to make some contribution."

Xue Yuan had no good feelings toward those people at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let the corpses lie there for so many years.
