177: I'm coming clean: My father is the Holy King!
"Interesting."
Su Jue weighed the compass in his hand; the destiny needle on it was still spinning wildly.
He could feel that this thing seemed to be pointing in some direction.
But now was not the time.
"System, put it away."
[Ding! 'compass of destiny (Fragment 1/9)' has been stored in the dimensional universe!]
The gray light instantly retracted.
The entire Seventh Reception Star also stopped trembling.
Feng Qingyang, who was sprawled on the ground, finally gasped for air, looking as if he had been fished out of water.
The Taoist robe on his back was soaked with cold sweat.
That was too terrifying!
That aura just now... was even more horrifying than all the Great Sage Realm Experts he had ever seen!
And this Infant... could actually awaken that ancient artifact that had been slumbering for countless millions of years!
Feng Qingyang raised his head and looked at Su Jue, who was standing in front of the stone platform.
The Infant wearing animal onesie pajamas was currently tilting his head and looking at him.
"Old man, is there any other good stuff?"
Su Jue asked in a milky voice.
Hearing this, Feng Qingyang's mouth twitched.
More?
You almost flipped the entire planet just now!
And you want more?!
But he didn't dare say no!
"Excellency... Your Excellency, the most precious item in the treasury is the one you just took..."
Feng Qingyang's voice was trembling.
"The rest are all common items..."
Su Jue curled his lip.
Fair enough.
After consuming that wave, his [Chaos Unity] law had already risen to 4.2%.
His [Advanced Chaos Dragon Body] had skyrocketed from 30% to 38%.
His energy points had also surpassed the 5 billion mark.
Moreover, that [compass of destiny]... the system said this thing was a nine-piece set, and he had only obtained one piece now.
Where were the other eight pieces?
Forget it, he'd deal with that later.
"Fine."
Su Jue turned around and left.
Feng Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally got rid of this god of plague... wait!
Hold on!
He suddenly remembered something.
"Excellency! Your... your assessment..."
"Assessment?"
Su Jue stopped in his tracks.
"Oh, right, there's still that."
He almost forgot he was here to participate in the [Cosmic Temple] assessment.
He ended up being too focused on eating.
"Didn't I smash that broken pillar?"
Su Jue scratched his head.
"Can the assessment still continue?"
Feng Qingyang's mouth twitched.
Broken pillar?
That was a sacred object bestowed by the Temple Headquarters!
You smashed it just like that... and now you're asking if the assessment can continue?
"Cough, Excellency, don't worry."
Feng Qingyang gave a dry cough.
"This old man will personally write a recommendation letter for you and send you directly to the headquarters!"
"No assessment needed!"
He just wanted to send this great deity away as quickly as possible now.
As for the destruction of the [heaven-reaching divine pillar]... when the time came, he'd just say the pillar exploded on its own!
Yes!
It was just that the pillar was old and in disrepair, so it exploded!
What did it have to do with him, Feng Qingyang?
Su Jue's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
"That's an option?"
"Of course!"
Feng Qingyang patted his chest in guarantee.
"With Your Excellency's talent, let alone the Seventh Branch, even the status of a Core Disciple at the headquarters, this old man dares to guarantee it!"
He was telling the truth.
An existence that could make the [compass of destiny] take the initiative to recognize a master... let alone a Core Disciple.
Even becoming the Temple Master's disciple directly would be well within his rights!
"Alright then."
Su Jue nodded.
"I'll wait for your news."
After saying that, he picked up the already dumbfounded Capybara in his arms and turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Feng Qingyang suddenly called out to him.
"Excellency, you... which power do you belong to?"
He was truly too curious.
An organization that could cultivate such a monster... how many could there be in the entire universe?
Su Jue looked back at him.
"My dad is called Ao Yuan, and my mom is called Elizabeth."
"As for the power..."
"Does the Demon Dragon Star Domain count?"
The words fell.
Su Jue's figure disappeared into the treasury entrance.
Leaving only Feng Qingyang standing there alone, his entire body frozen.
Ao Yuan... Elizabeth... Demon Dragon Star Domain... Holy shit!
Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!
Holy shit, your dam!!
Feng Qingyang's head was buzzing.
He remembered!
Aren't those the legendary Starry Sky Demon Dragon Emperor and Life Dragon Emperor?!
Two supreme existences of the Saint King Realm!
And the Demon Dragon Star Domain... that was a forbidden land that the entire universe didn't dare to provoke!
"No wonder..."
Feng Qingyang murmured to himself.
"No wonder he could take out so many Saint King Level treasures..."
"No wonder he could make the [compass of destiny] recognize him as master..."
"So he's the Dragon Clan Prince..."
He suddenly felt that the decision he made today was so right!
Trading half of the treasury's collection for the goodwill of a Dragon Clan Prince... this deal was a massive profit!
Thinking of this, Feng Qingyang felt refreshed.
He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to heal.
His soul, which had been severely injured by that power of rules just now, was still aching slightly.
But he didn't care.
Worth it!
It was so damn worth it!
...Outside the treasury.
As soon as Su Jue appeared, he saw Yun Xuan still kneeling there.
The surrounding ruins had been cleared away.
Only those fragments on the ground served as a reminder of what had happened before.
"Great... Great One!"
Seeing Su Jue, Yun Xuan immediately kowtowed.
"This subordinate deserves to die! I failed to protect the testing equipment!"
"Please punish me, Great One!"
Su Jue glanced at him.
This guy... was quite loyal.
"Get up."
Su Jue waved his hand.
"It's none of your business."
Hearing this, Yun Xuan looked up abruptly.
His eyes were full of gratitude.
"Thank you, Great One!"
"Thank you for your mercy, Great One!"
Su Jue didn't bother with him.
He just wanted to find a place to rest now.
Although that wave of eating was satisfying, it was also a bit too much.
The powers of laws in his body were currently surging wildly.
He needed time to digest them.
"Find me a quiet place."
Su Jue said.
"This subordinate will arrange it immediately!"
Yun Xuan immediately stood up.
He was now extremely respectful to Su Jue.
Are you kidding?
An existence that could have the Guardian Envoy personally accompany them to the treasury... how could he, a mere King Realm, dare to be negligent?
Soon.
Yun Xuan brought Su Jue to the most luxurious hotel on the Seventh Reception Star.
"Great One, this is the best residence on this star."
Yun Xuan said flatteringly.
"This subordinate has booked the entire floor; absolutely no one will disturb you!"
Su Jue nodded with satisfaction.
He was quite sensible.
"Alright, you may go."
"Yes!"
Yun Xuan respectfully exited the room.
As soon as the door closed, Su Jue plopped down on the sofa.
The Capybara in his arms finally came to its senses.
It shook its fur, and a line of blood-red characters appeared on the Quantum Core screen.
[Boss... did we almost die just now?]
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Su Jue gave it a sidelong glance.
"With Ling here, who can kill me?"
Speaking of Ling... Su Jue looked at his hat.
The little golden person was still sleeping soundly inside.
Even such a large commotion just now hadn't woken her up.
She was quite the sleeper.
"Boss, that compass..."
Capybara asked cautiously.
[The system said that thing is very dangerous...]
"I know."
Su Jue nodded.
"But it's mine."
He said it very certainly.
From the moment he touched the compass, he knew.
This thing had a very deep connection with him.
As for what connection... he'd deal with that later.
The most important thing now was to digest the treasures he had just absorbed.
