The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 181: Ouyang Kuangsheng

After hearing Qin Wentian refer to him as his girlfriend, an expression of shame shone in the depths of his beautiful eyes. A sweet smile graced her face, showing that her heart had agreed and agreed to this relationship.

However, Mo Qingcheng also felt somewhat amazed, was he really in love with this man? If it had been a year ago, he would definitely not have felt this way.

Upon hearing his words, disappointment was seen blurring Yi Xiang's features. The reason she was looking for a way to befriend Qin Wentian was naturally because of Mo Qingcheng's beauty.

"I understand." Yi Xiang smiled with a nod, silently cursing the dog luck of Qin Wentian. What kind of background exactly did she have to cause Mo Qingcheng to fall in love with her?

As he thought about this, Yi Xiang tried to investigate further when he asked, “Don't Brother Qin know the reason we are here? Which state city in the nine continents is Brother Qin's origin? ”

"I really don't know, I'm not from any of the state's nine cities." Qin Wentian replied casually, unwilling to bother explaining in detail.

“As for why they named it Heavenly Lake Palace, this was due to the natural heavenly lake found within the palace. The lake was of great help to the cultivators under the Heavenly Angel Realm. There was a huge commotion all year round when Fairy Qingmei discovered the lake, with many powerful experts wanting to possess it. But what kind of character was Azure Emperor? He was ranked first among the 36 heavenly stars! Because of the Azure Emperor, even the various rulers of the nine continents had to give face, and not fight with Fairy Qingmei for the heavenly lake. ”

Yi Xiang explained, “After the news of the Azure Emperor's disappearance became known, many other powers started voicing their objections, not expecting Fairy Qingmei to have a heavenly lake by herself. The Qingmei Fairy then issued a proclamation allowing talented youths from the nine continents to come to visit at any time. As long as they could pass the test he designed, they would be able to enjoy the benefits of the heavenly lake. Only then did other powers stop their protests. After all, no one wanted to offend a long-lived celestial demon.

Only then did Qin Wentian understand. Demons were different from humans; the majority of demonic beasts had extremely slow cultivation levels. However, their lifespan is much longer than that of humans. Especially for demonic beasts that had broken through to the Big Dipper Heavenly Realm, after obtaining their human form, they would have an lifespan of around 5,000 to 6,000 years. With that consideration, the other powers would naturally not dare to push Fairy Qingmei too far.

"If that's the case, does this mean that all cultivators are here because they want to borrow the power of the celestial lake to help in their cultivation?" Qin Wentian glanced at the bustling streets, and indeed, young cultivators of both sexes flooded the area. They are around 25-26 years old and many have an outstanding attitude. None of them dared to come here without possessing a certain level of strength.

Far in the distance, a gaze was directed at Qin Wentian as he scanned the crowd., The audience laughed demonically; it was none other than the arrogant young man from before, the one who rode the Hawk Lion-eye.

Yi Xiang followed Qin Wentian's gaze, and upon seeing the young man, his face changed slightly. Speaking in a whisper, "That's the beastman named Shiki, from the Beast King Hall, one of the hegemonic powers of the Demon Continent."

"Beastman?" Qin Wentian's eyes blinked.

Yi Xiang ascended to Qin Wentian as he lightly said, "The Beast Lord King Hall is a demon lion in the Heavenly Dipper Realm. The king of beasts was very depraved, and had slept with many human wives and concubines. With demon and human blood flowing in their veins, their descendants were known as ferocious beasts. This Shiki was the descendant of the beast king himself.

"Hey boy, what are you muttering?" Shiki said coldly, glancing at Yi Xiang, causing him to shiver. Smiling, Yi Xiang quickly replied, "Just have a casual chat."

"Oh, is that right?" Shiki turned her gaze to the young lady behind Yi Xiang, licking her lips, as an expression of lust appeared in her eyes. For her actions, the young lady felt a strong rage seething in her heart; the descendants of the king of beasts were all extremely immoral in their shameless behavior.

At that moment, several white-clothed women walked out of the Heavenly Lake Palace to stand in front of the crowd, each of them looking as beautiful as an angel girl.

The crowd's attention shifted and saw a graceful silhouette wrapped in a muslin, where the majority of people lost their senses as they stared happily.

It seemed that the rumor that Fairy Qingmei only accepted very beautiful women because her disciples were right. In addition to obtaining permission to use the celestial lake, those who passed the test could also choose a female disciple to be their dao companion, provided that the female disciple agreed. This made many people happy, igniting their fighting spirit.

This rule has never been broken even after thousands of years. No one understood Fairy Qingmei's reason for doing this.

"Everyone, please, you can enter the Heavenly Lake Palace now." The angels led the way, as the crowd followed behind, stepping into the Heavenly Lake Palace.

The interior of the palace is very beautiful in its beauty. The cultivators entered a long hallway with pavilions located on the left and right. Each pavilion was graceful and unique, with each one already occupied by people. The majority of the crowd looked cold on their faces, after seeing the heads of the residents peering out. These people should be similar to them, coming here to take the test. The foolish dreams they had; the Heavenly Lake Palace was opened to the public once a month, and only a total of seven people could enter the heavenly lake each time.

And this month, there were many cultivators who came to try their luck, it would not be easy for anyone to stand on top of the others.

Qin Wentian contemplated the Heavenly Lake Palace, feeling astonished in his heart. Thinking that Fairy Qingmei's palace design would be so charming, the beauty of the scenery was similar to a dream-like quality. At the end of the long hallway, they arrived at an area filled with residential buildings, arranged in a beautiful mess. Located right in front, there was a staircase and at the end of the stairs, there was a celestial palace.

"Is Fairy Qingmei still around?" Qin Wentian pondered, he could already confirm that the location on the map of Dicang referred to this place, but did not know what to do after finding it.

Qin Wentian had a bold hypothesis, perhaps the Azure Emperor's greatest secret was not in the Azure Emperor's Palace, but was instead under the protection of Fairy Qingmei.

Naturally, Qin Wentian came to this conclusion just because he had the map Dicang. Back then, after the powerful freaks witnessed the Azure Emperor fight with Fairy Qingmei, it would never cross their minds the possibility of him guarding the Azure Emperor's greatest secret hideout.

"Shiki, are you not a human, not a demon who dares to come here as well? Are you not afraid that I, your father, will turn you into something that is neither human nor demonic? ”A loud and clear voice echoed, causing Yi Xiang to tremble in shock. Who was it that dared to humiliate Shiki in the Beast King Hall in public like this?

Turning his head, Yi Xiang saw a young man dressed in blue robes, about 18 years old. The young man had a squared face, with big eyes, and laughed out loud at Shiki.

"Ouyang Kuangsheng." Yi Xiang took a breath. The cultivators who come here will not have too high a cultivation level. Normally, youths below the 3rd level of Yuanfu would pay a visit to the Heavenly Lake Palace; most of them would be at the 9th level of the Artery Circulation, the majority of them would be at the 9th level of the Artery Circulation, wanting to borrow the mystical effects of the Heavenly Lake for a breakthrough to Yuanfu. The Yuanfu formed with the mystical effects of the celestial lake would be larger than usual, allowing cultivators to store more Astral Energy within it.

Ouyang Kuangsheng was also at the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation, and given his age, his cultivation base was still at the peak of the Arterial Circulation Realm not something to be proud of. In the nine continents, there were already many youths at the Yuanfu level. However, there were cultivators factions that placed more importance in consolidating the foundation, done by increasing their affinity level and sense ability first. Thus, in order to ease their cultivation path in the future, there were many who chose to condense the Astral Soul only after a long period of time, resulting in an older age to start cultivating compared to the others.

This Ouyang Kuangsheng belonged to the second type of cultivator. He paid no attention to the thoughts of others, and only started cultivating after the age of 16. Not only outsiders, even within his clan, there were many who looked down on him.

However, in one night, Ouyang Kuangsheng shocked everyone when he condensed the Astral Soul of the 4th Heavenly Layer. The entire Ouyang Clan was in an uproar, secretly admiring Ouyang Kuangsheng's resolution, having determined that he was a character worthy of nurturing.

Indeed, in the next two years, Ouyang Kuangsheng's cultivation was growing rapidly, quickly reaching the peak of the Arterial Circulation. Although he was slower compared to the others, the two Astral Souls he condensed came from the 4th Heavenly Layer. Thus, his combat prowess was extremely tyrannical and not many on the same level could defeat him.

Shiki was another tyrannical character; had it been another cultivator with a cultivation base at the 9th level of the Artery Circulation other than Ouyang Kuangsheng, he would have definitely massacred them for speaking to him in such a manner. However, he was not sure he was able to defeat Ouyang Kuangsheng.

"Ouyang Kuangsheng, remember what you just said," Shiki said coldly.

"You think as your father, I'd be afraid of you?" Ouyang Kuangsheng continued to laugh loudly when a beautiful young woman appeared beside him. Upon seeing it, an expression of extreme interest appeared on Yi Xiang's face. He too, accompanied Ouyang Kuangsheng.

It seemed that this time, the trip to the Heavenly Lake Palace was filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons, with rumors that Yao Sheng from the Skydemon Sect had also arrived earlier as well. He was also very difficult to deal with the character and on this thought, Yi Xiang gradually lost his trust, and felt somewhat depressed.

“First of all, will everyone choose where you live? you are all welcome to stay in the still empty pavilion. There were still a few more days before the test date, ”announced them from the Heavenly Lake Palace, and the crowd dispersed, choosing the pavilion they wanted to stay in.

"Let's stay there." Qin Wentian pointed to a pavilion, as he smiled at Mo Qingcheng.

"okay." Mo Qingcheng agreed, and together they walked towards and entered the pavilion. It was divided into two tiers; the first level consisted of a living room while the second level consisted of two bedrooms, large enough for the two of them.

Walking to the balcony outside the bedroom, Qin Wentian discovered that Yi Xiang and his friend chose the pavilion opposite to them, while Ouyang Kuangsheng chose a residence beside Yi Xiang.

"Hey son, where are you from?" Curiosity flickered in Ouyang Kuangsheng's eyes as he directed his gaze towards Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian was 17 years old, very handsome. His eyes had an incredible depth to them, possessing an aura of uniqueness.

"i'm from a very small country, I think you'll never hear it" Qin Wentian laughed. "What about you?"

Ouyang Kuangsheng stared blankly, but quickly recovered with a smile on his face. Yi Xiang in the next pavilion, suddenly added, "Brother Qin, this person is Ouyang Kuangsheng, the young elite of the Ouyang Clan of the Azure Continent."

As Yi Xiang made an introduction, he nodded his head towards Ouyang Kuangsheng as if he intended to express his good intentions. However, Qin Wentian had no concept of the strength of the Ouyang Clan, and had no idea who Ouyang Kuangsheng was.

"Azure Continent, Azure Emperor Palace should be there," Qin Wentian muttered to himself, and after hearing his words, Ouyang Kuangsheng was momentarily startled, before laughing solemnly. What an interesting kid. Although the Azure Emperor Palace was much more glorious in the past, their strength gradually faded over the years. How could they still be mentioned on the same terms as the Ouyang Clan?

Yi Xiang was also silent. Could it be that in Qin Wentian's eyes, the Azure Emperor Palace had a higher level of importance compared to the Ouyang Clan?
