Chapter 637: Gaining Allegiance and Qing Tan’s Sovereign Celestial Body
The Black Dragon Sovereign was delighted when a powerful figure suddenly offered to save his homeland, yet he didn't let his excitement cloud his judgment.
As someone who had personally experienced that catastrophic event, he was acutely aware of the terror of the Fiend Race that had invaded their plane.
"Your Excellency, the Fiend Clan that invaded our plane was the Blood Demon Tribe. The Blood Demon King among them might very well be at the Perfected Earth Sovereign Stage, and there's not just one of them. They're not easy to deal with," the Black Dragon Sovereign said cautiously.
"Do not worry. My Master has already single-handedly eradicated a Fiend Clan on our continent. How much stronger can your so-called Blood Demon Tribe be?" Qing Tan, noticing the Black Dragon Sovereign's fear that her Master might not be strong enough, yet not daring to say it outright, openly shared Xiao Ming's accomplishments.
Her words naturally had a tremendous impact. Surprise nearly overflowed from the eyes of the Black Dragon Sovereign and Qing Yanjing.
They hadn't expected Xiao Ming to have such a formidable track record!
Let's not even mention the Black Dragon Sovereign who fled from the lower plane to the Great Thousand World. Qing Yanjing was a direct descendant of one of the Great Thousand World's Five Ancient Clans and was well aware that expelling a Fiend Clan from a lower plane was not as simple as one might believe.
The Fiend Clans enjoyed sacrifice the most. If they found themselves outmatched, they would resort to sacrificing their own people, and not just any members, but even their stronger members could be sacrificed. It could be said to be a display of utter madness.
It was this madness that gave the Fiend Clans an advantage in many past battles.
Even the powerhouses of the Great Thousand World found it difficult to withstand their onslaught. Thus, Xiao Ming's feat of single-handedly annihilating a Fiend Clan during his time in the lower plane was truly remarkable!
Xiao Ming could only smile modestly under their gaze.
Only one knows one's own affairs best.
The Yimo Tribe and the Blood Fiend Tribe were hardly comparable. The Blood Demon King from the Black Dragon Sovereign's plane wasn't just any ordinary Perfected Earth Sovereign; he was actually on the verge of reaching the Heavenly Sovereign Stage.
Only the Yimo Emperor held such strength within the Yimo Tribe, whereas the Blood Fiend Clan boasted six Blood Demon Kings.
Not to mention, a Blood Demon King was being nurtured within the Blood Fiend Tribe. Should they encounter any danger, the Blood Fiend Tribe would immediately perform a blood sacrifice to break his seal and ascend him to the Demon Emperor's strength level.
It could be said that this Blood Fiend Tribe was not something the Yimo Tribe of the Tian Xuan Continent could contend with. Of course, Xiao Ming didn't bother to explain any of this to the Black Dragon Sovereign.
After all, dealing with the Blood Fiend Tribe was merely a matter of expending a bit more effort for the current him; the real hassle was that the Blood Fiend Tribe could sway people.
However, he had no plans to take action just yet.
The Black Dragon Sovereign, nevertheless, was now fully convinced of Xiao Ming's intentions and abilities. He couldn't wait any longer and asked excitedly, "Your Excellency, when do we depart for our plane?
"There is no rush. We'll discuss it later."
Xiao Ming had no immediate intention of departing. He hadn't even successfully transitioned his cultivation yet, and hastily heading to the lower plane was not a wise decision. Contacting the Black Dragon Sovereign now was merely to secure his allegiance.
Although the Black Dragon Sovereign was somewhat disappointed by this response, he had no choice but to accept it.
"If that's the case, I'll do my utmost to fulfill any needs Your Excellency may have during your stay in the Northern Heavens Continent."
"I won't be staying long in the Northern Heavens Continent; I need to visit other continents as well."
"What about us..."
"I'll leave a jade slip when I leave. Keep it with you, and when the time comes, I'll naturally take you to the lower plane."
With this assurance, the Black Dragon Sovereign left. He planned to bring over the treasures collected by the Demonic Dragon Palace and instructed its members to avoid causing trouble.
After the Black Dragon Sovereign left, the City Lord of White Dragon also arranged a beautifully independent loft for Xiao Ming and his companions to stay in.
Qing Yanjing looked at Xiao Ming after the City Lord left the loft, and after hesitating for a moment, voiced the question in her heart.
"Does that plane really have a Dimension Fetus?"
"Of course," Xiao Ming didn't hide anything.
"Aren't you afraid that I might secretly take the Dimension Fetus for myself? You must know what the Dimension Fetus does, right? The Fiend Tribe poses no threat to me," Qing Yanjing said softly, her eyes filled with inquiry.
Xiao Ming paused for a moment and then casually waved his hand without any concern.
"If you want it, I can give it to you."
Even from a utilitarian perspective, Qing Yanjing was the most outstanding descendant of her generation in the Ancient Buddha Clan. As long as she didn't do anything out of line, she was likely to become the next Clan Leader or at least the Grand Elder. Giving her a Dimension Fetus to foster good relations was not unacceptable.
Moreover, the relationship between them had grown quite close at this moment.
Seeing that Xiao Ming did not even hesitate, Qing Yanjing felt her cheeks warm up again as she became more and more certain of her guess.
He likes me!
Otherwise, who would offer such a precious item to someone whose background is unknown?
For what?
For her beauty, of course!
It must be said that the three great illusions of life exist in every world, especially for a goddess of an Ancient Clan like Qing Yanjing. There really weren't many who wouldn't be attracted to her.
'A Dimension Fetus to marry the genius of an Ancient Clan? The old folks in the clan would never agree to that, and besides, I don't need any Dimension Fetus.'
Qing Yanjing thought to herself. She had a premonition that once her strength was restored, she would be able to step into the Heavenly Sovereign Stage. Thus, she didn't crave the Dimension Fetus. As for Xiao Ming's pursuit, she wasn't opposed to it. Of course, wooing her wouldn't be easy, especially with the existing betrothal she was bound to!
The thought of that betrothal made Qing Yanjing feel a surge of repulsion, yet it also made Xiao Ming's handsome face more and more appealing to her.
Xiao Ming, for his part, was left somewhat baffled by her reactions.
...
Xiao Ming spent two weeks in the Northern Heavens Continent.
He didn't go sightseeing during these days but rather began to study the cultivation system of the Great Thousand World. The Demonic Dragon Palace, having once unified the Northern Heavens Continent, possessed an extensive collection of books. Although these books weren't of the highest level, they were perfectly suitable for his research needs.
After finishing his research, Xiao Ming came out of seclusion only to discover that Qing Tan had already broken through to the Sovereign Stage, and even her Sovereign Celestial Body was fully formed!
"Didn't I tell you not to rush your breakthrough? Who gave you the method for the Sovereign Celestial Body?"
Since they had just arrived and lacked a suitable method for forming a Sovereign Celestial Body, Xiao Ming was waiting to thoroughly research the cultivation methods of the Great Thousand World to create a suitable one for Qing Tan himself. But just as he was making some progress, Qing Tan had already broken through?
Well, breaking through wasn't really the issue, but the Sovereign Celestial Body wasn't something to be taken lightly.
The effort required to switch cultivation methods at a higher realm was unimaginably difficult.
Qing Tan blinked her pretty eyes and said, "It was Sister Jing who gave me the cultivation method for the Sovereign Celestial Body. She said she stumbled upon it a while ago, and it's very strong."
Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow and asked Qing Tan to summon the Celestial Body.
Upon her summoning, a figure wrapped in a terrifying cold that could freeze anything emerged behind her. This chilling cold was so extreme that even one's Spiritual Energy would quickly freeze once it invaded one's body.
"This Celestial Body is quite powerful, isn't it?"
Qing Yanjing appeared near them at some point, smiling as she spoke.
Xiao Ming nodded. The Celestial Body was indeed as powerful as Qing Yanjing had mentioned. It complemented Qing Tan's Terminus Devil Body special constitution quite well.
"What's the name of this Celestial Body?"
"The Netherworld Celestial Body."
"This Celestial Body doesn't seem like something you could just stumble upon, especially since it even requires specific materials," Xiao Ming was well aware that even if one had a powerful Celestial Body cultivation method, one would still need the corresponding cultivation materials.
Of course, it wasn't something one could just find anywhere, Qing Yanjing thought. This Celestial Body was also highly ranked within her clan and could even advance to become the Great Netherworld Celestial Body, which was ranked 25th on the Sovereign Celestial Body Ranking.
Qing Yanjing kept these thoughts to herself and did not open her mouth to explain.
Xiao Ming didn't push any further either. He just kept it in his heart.
"It's time for us to leave."
"Where to?"
"To the Merchant Continent. I've almost fully grasped the Spiritual Energy System. I should be able to restore my strength there."
