Double Cultivation
regardless of what happens tomorrow
"Your Majesty, Divine Sword Master Zhong Chao Huang is waiting in the lobby. He also looked a bit anxious." A servant told Lord Xie about Elder Zhong's arrival.
"Senior Zhong? Did he leave anything? He was here a while ago." Lord Xie raised an eyebrow.
"Let him see me" he told the guard.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A few minutes later, Elder Zhong entered the room with a look of despair and bewilderment.
"Y-Your Majesty! There must be some kind of mistake! Why did 'he' become one of the participants?!" Elder Zhong asked him.
"Slow down.." Lord Xie was slightly overwhelmed by Elder Zhong's behavior and said, "What are you talking about?"
"That guy, Su Yang! Why is he one of the participants ?!" Elder Zhong asked again clearly. "There was no way that someone in the Heaven Spirit Realm could be qualified to become a participant!"
"Ah .. so you've heard the news." Lord Xie finally understood why he was acting so strangely.
"I know this may be a pill that is almost impossible to swallow, but Su Yang ... he is actually only 17 years old at the moment." Lord Xie revealed the truth to Elder Zhong, whose eyes and mouth widened in shock.
"*-*-*-Seventeen…?" Elder Zhong stuttered nonstop.
"Th-That's impossible! What kind of talent should one possess to reach the Heavenly Spirit Realm at that age when we are all over 100 years old?" elder Zhong said in disbelief.
Lord Xie shook his head and said, "Although he denies it, I believe that he has a Master from the mystical Central Sacred Continent. Otherwise, I can't even imagine how he achieved such a feat."
"A Master from the Sacred Middle Continent ..." Elder Zhong muttered.
Perhaps the reason why they were unable to comprehend Su Yang's talent was because he had someone from that place whom they were also unable to understand supporting him.
"If you still feel doubtful, he's the 2nd son of the Su Family." said Lord Xie.
"Wait .. 'The Su Family?" Elder Zhong looked at him in disbelief.
Lord Xie nodded and said, "Due to unknown circumstances, Su Yang has been missing for about a year. However, after some deeper investigation, it seemed that he had actually been expelled from the house and sent to the Blossom Sect as a disciple."
Elder Zhong fell silent. He had not expected Su Yang to have such a complicated background.
"Although it doesn't explain how he reached the Heavenly Spirit Realm, it will dispel most of your doubts about his identity" Lord Xie said.
Elder Zhong chuckled in a self-deprecating manner a moment later and said, "First Earth Pill, there is now a junior reaching the Heavenly Spirit Realm. It seems that a new cultivation era is approaching, and my cultivation is in vain. If only I had been born a little later. "
"If Su Yang really is only 17 years old, then it is safe to believe that this Hong Yu'er from the Blue Cloud Sect is also in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, right?" said Lord Xie.
"Hong Yu'er ..." Lord Xie sighed after hearing his name and said, "Maybe he also has experts from the Middle Holy Continent supporting him. It was too coincidental that she was also Su Yang's fiancee."
"Wait a moment.." Elder Zhong rubbed his temple with pressure and continued, "This Hong Yuer is Su Yang's fiancee?"
"According to the investigation, yes. I even sent some irresistible young men with strong backgrounds to approach Hong Yu'er, but they were all instantly shot down by him, who insisted that he already had a fiancee. I even investigated the Hong Family, and while they were trying to hide the facts, Hong Yu'er was indeed engaged to Su Yang from a young age. "
"Well, no matter their relationship, it would be nice to see what they would do once they were on the same stage." Lord Xie smiled.
Elder Zhong looked at him with a dissatisfied face.
When Lord Xie noticed it, he said, "i know what you are thinking, but regardless of who is against your Sect, the result will be the same. Unless you also have a Celestial Spirit Realm expert among the junior ranks."
"If I had someone like that, the whole world would know by now." Elder Zhong shook his head.
"It's a pity, but my students will fight in a battle that has been decided before it even begins" Elder Zhong said.
"Aren't you intending to tell them about Su Yang?" Lord Xie asked him.
"What use? Knowing about his strength would not change anything. In fact, it would only make them more depressed than the ones already with Fang Zhelan" Elder Zhong said.
"Haaaaa .. Thought the unshakable reign of the Divine Sword Sect would finally come to an end. Did I offend a god in a previous life to deserve this?" Elder Zhong sighed deeply.
"Nothing will last forever. In fact, in a few more years, I am confident that Su Yang will eventually surpass my father, who has reached the legendary Sovereign Spirit Realm. Once that happened, he might even become the next emperor of the eastern continent" Lord Xie said.
"However, a cultivator with an infinite future was always unpredictable. Who knows what he will do in the future when he grows up. He could remain in the Eastern Continent as a ruler, or he could travel to another continent. Seeing how his Master came from the Sacred Middle Continent, he might go there." said Lord Xie again.
"Whatever he might do, I'm sure it'll shake the whole world."
Some time later, Elder Zhong returned to his disciples.
"Is everything okay, Sect Master?" They asked with worried faces.
"Don't worry, nothing serious. By the way, regardless of what happens tomorrow, just focus on doing your best and try not to fool yourself." Elder Zhong said to them.
"By the way, I'm having a great headache now, so I'll take a break for today." After Elder Zhong disappeared into his room, the Sect Elders looked at each other with dumbfounded gazes.
"To make a Celestial Spirit Realm Expert experience a headache, it must be quite serious."
"But unfortunately, there's nothing we can do. Hopefully nothing is too bad and focus on getting through tomorrow without losing a lot of face."
