463: Chapter 462 The Supreme Saint Emperor
Xiao Luowei nodded slightly, a strange light flickering in her clear, water-like eyes.
"Last time we met, I felt you were unfathomable and impossible to see through, at least comparable to a Martial Artist at the Major Achievement of the Heaven Realm. But now..."
Xiao Luowei hesitated for a moment. "I find that although your life Aura is powerful and far exceeds an ordinary Heaven Realm's, in terms of Realm alone, you shouldn't have reached the Heaven Realm yet? Could it be that your injuries were too severe, causing your Realm to drop?"
Hearing this, Chu Xuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.
When he last met Xiao Luowei upon entering, he already understood that the so-called "Heaven Realm Martial Artist" she spoke of was equivalent to a Transcendent after Rank-up.
Analogous to the Venerables of the Orcs and Elves.
And the "Guiyuan Realm" of this Cangyun World from countless years later.
No matter the name, according to Chu Xuan's understanding, these were all terms for classifying life levels within different worldviews and promotion Systems.
It was just that the System's classification of Transcendents was more concise and direct, defined only by numerical Ranks.
When he last saw Xiao Luowei, Chu Xuan was only Rank 10, so why did he seem comparable to the "Major Achievement of the Heaven Realm" in her eyes?
Chu Xuan gave Xiao Luowei a deep look, and his Eye of Insight was already activated.
As his spirituality value rapidly drained, Chu Xuan did not observe everything, consuming only 200 points of spirituality value to check part of her information.
[Name: Xiao Luowei
Species: Human
Rank: 12
health points: 1000/4000
stamina: 18 (real attribute)
Strength: 18 (real attribute)
agility: 20 (real attribute)
spirit: 25 (real attribute)
True Essence: 18500/30000

Chu Xuan's gaze narrowed slightly.
This was the Major Achievement of the Heaven Realm?
"Benefactor, are you probing my Realm?" Xiao Luowei showed a look of shame.
"I've made a fool of myself. My martial path is flawed, and my cultivation is not yet perfect. This year, I have only stepped into the Middle Stage of the Heaven Realm. Just now, I exerted strength comparable to the Major Achievement of the Heaven Realm at the cost of my life force."
"Don't belittle yourself; you have already surpassed me." Chu Xuan's expression was calm as he added, "My Realm hasn't dropped, and compared to our last meeting, I am much stronger now."
Xiao Luowei looked puzzled.
Chu Xuan continued, "In your view, only a year has passed between our meetings, and you've gone from just entering the Heaven Realm to its Major Achievement, but for me, only a single day has passed."
"Then the last time we met after two years?" Xiao Luowei gazed deeply at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan nodded slightly. "Only two days had passed."
A surge of killing intent suddenly erupted. Her waterfall-like black hair and crimson robes danced wildly, and her entire body emitted an incredibly sharp Aura. Xiao Luowei's Phoenix-like eyes suddenly narrowed, flickering with waves of cold, eerie light as she stared intently at Chu Xuan.
But in the next second, her cold gaze softened again, her expression full of confusion.
"That's right, you really are Benefactor... but how is this possible?" Xiao Luowei murmured. "Our first meeting was three years ago, and our second was last year..."
"The way I can come here is quite strange; it's complicated to explain."
Chu Xuan shook his head and didn't say more on the matter, speaking slowly instead, "The reason you see a change in my strength might be related to the fact that you've become stronger now."
"Is that so? Could it be because the flow of time in our two worlds is different?"
Xiao Luowei was lost in thought, but then she seemed to think of something and couldn't help but look melancholy. "If that's the case, when many years have passed and I am old and frail, you will still be young and in your prime..."
Chu Xuan chuckled. "Didn't you just say you wanted to reach the pinnacle of the martial path and shatter the Void Realm?"
Xiao Luowei sighed deeply. "That is a legendary Realm only mentioned in ancient texts. It's said one can challenge ancient gods with their fists, but I fear it's beyond my reach in this lifetime..."
She stared blankly at Chu Xuan, but then her tone suddenly shifted, becoming extremely firm. "I must step into that Realm in this life."
"The Peak of the martial path, shattering the Void Realm..."
Chu Xuan was secretly amazed, wondering if there were other worlds with even more stunning and brilliant promotion Systems.
People like Cai Hou and Fat Pig, who had long since stepped onto the Path of Salvation, must have entered various marvelous worlds to gain improvements that far exceeded ordinary Transcendents.
While the two were talking, the slaughter on the island was nearing its end. Many figures shrouded in Blood-red Baleful Energy gathered, standing below the mountain Peak and kowtowing in unison to Xiao Luowei at the top.
"Greetings, Saintess!!"
Immediately after, the crowd looked toward Chu Xuan and bowed again.
"Welcome, Holy Emperor!!"
The shouts echoed in all directions, piercing through the clouds and shaking the heavens.
"Holy Emperor?" Chu Xuan's brow twitched as he looked at Xiao Luowei.
Xiao Luowei explained, "Over the past year, starting from this Tianxing Sea Area, I founded the Wuji Holy Sect to gather the Martial Artists enslaved and oppressed by the Three Sects and Four Clans, all for the day when we can overthrow their rule."
"And you, Benefactor, have acted on my behalf several times. Your image has been spread throughout the world via recordings, shaking the four directions. I have used your name as our spiritual leader."
Chu Xuan chuckled and shook his head.
"Please do not take offense, Benefactor."
Xiao Luowei pursed her lower lip, then suddenly thought of something and laughed softly. "This is actually quite good. If I can overthrow the rule of the Three Sects and Four Clans over the world, I will ensure the Wuji Holy Sect lasts for ten thousand generations and enshrines your portrait.
Even if one day I die of old age, when you return here, Benefactor, these Holy Sects might be able to assist you if needed."
Not very likely...
Chu Xuan sighed inwardly.
Judging by the encounters of those Five Qi Guiyuan Sect Disciples he met in the Tianxing Mountains, the future Cangyun World was clearly severely eroded by The Gloom.
Chu Xuan had previously used his Heart-Confusing Skill to control one of the Disciples and ask about their origins, but he hadn't heard them mention the Wuji Holy Sect. Clearly, this so-called Holy Sect likely does not exist in the future.
As for his image being spread throughout the world?
If that were true, how could those people not recognize him?
But there was no need to say such discouraging things, and Chu Xuan also thought of another point: this was, after all, just his dream.
Whether actions within this dream could change the historical course of the Cangyun World was still unknown.
Looking at The Dragon Turtle, who was lying obediently on the ground by his feet, Chu Xuan couldn't help but think of the terrifying mountain-like Dragon Turtle he had seen not long ago.
The future Dragon Turtle still remembered him...
Chu Xuan's eyes were deep.
"Benefactor, you seem to have something on your mind?" Xiao Luowei asked probingly.
Chu Xuan retracted his thoughts and said after a moment of deliberation, "The Cangyun World is being eroded by the Dark World. The demons you speak of are likely Strange Creaturess from the Dark World..."
Chu Xuan told her what he knew about Strange Creaturess, then patted The Dragon Turtle's head and said meaningfully, "Especially you, you must never be eroded and lose your self-awareness."
The Dragon Turtle made a low, child-like sound. "Benefactor, don't look down on me. I've already become very strong, and I'll become even stronger in the future. I have growth potential comparable to a god!"
"That powerful?" Chu Xuan said softly. "But that's exactly why you need to be more vigilant. Otherwise, if the day comes when you are replaced by a Strange Creatures, forgetting me or even wanting to eat me, what should I do?"
"I won't." The Dragon Turtle's head shook repeatedly. "I will always remember you."
Chu Xuan smiled gently. Just as he was about to say more, a prompt suddenly came from the System.
"[The time limit for your Talent skill is about to expire. Spend 10 points of spirituality value to extend it for 1 hour? 10 seconds remaining...]"
Unknowingly, this dream was about to end.
"Benefactor, are you leaving?" Xiao Luowei noticed Chu Xuan's undisguised expression. "Will you come again?"
"[8!]"
"I will." Chu Xuan nodded. He planned to come back a few more times to understand the Cangyun World and continue trying to influence the current Xiao Luowei based on future changes, thereby reversing the course of the future.
"[7!]"
Just like with him and [Future Tang Zheng].
There were also many martial Cultivation Techniques and Divine Ability techniques in this Cangyun World that Chu Xuan wanted to see for himself.
Whether it was martial arts or Transcendent Skills, as long as they could be certified by the System to make him stronger, Chu Xuan didn't mind adding them to the System list.
He was especially interested in those Divine Abilities that could be recorded in teaching Jade Slips.
Xiao Luowei sighed deeply. "One day for you, one year for me. I wonder when you will next come here to perform a mission, and I wonder when I will ever be able to repay your kindness."
"[3!]"
"You no longer owe me anything..."
Speaking of which, Chu Xuan suddenly paused and blurted out, "Perform a mission?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the countdown ended.
"[1!]"
Bursts of white light swallowed heaven and earth, filling his entire field of vision as everything in the world dissolved.
The dream had ended.
