BXBX NOVEL Chapter 728
“Ugh…” stretching her body with might, Dongfang Hanyue let out a soft moan. The powers in her limbs made her feel comfortable and expressions of enjoyment could be seen from her pretty face.
Pfft.?The dry food in Zhou Weiqing’s hands fell into the firepit; his eyes almost falling off from its sockets. Dongfang Hanyue’s stretching motions fully emphasized her alluring body lines. In addition to the attractive moan, it made the beast within a certain someone boil in an instant.
“Can you please not do this? You’re seducing people to commit crimes.” Zhou Weiqing said while swallowing his saliva.
“Nope,” Dongfang Hanyue rolled her eyes.
Dongfang Hanyue sat on the other side of the bonfire, her arms hugging her knees. Without sparing a glance at Zhou Weiqing, she mumbled, “Tell me stories of your Boundless Mainland, and yourself too.”
“Okay,” Zhou Weiqing responded. From his eyes, he seemed to be recalling his memories. He was not hiding, and there was nothing to hide either. He gradually started recounting his experiences.
“I was born in a small country named the Heavenly Bow Empire on the Boundless Mainland. In the beginning, I could never become a Heavenly Jewel Master, until one fine day…”
Even though he was only in this twenties, his experiences were so rich. Zhou Weiqing’s stories took four hours although it was already his summarized version.
It was now late night and the two had eaten much of the dry food. Zhou Weiqing had lost count of the times he had added the firewood obtained from the woods behind him into the bonfire.
“Why did you want our Spatial Transportation Stone then?” Dongfang Hanyue inquired with curiosity.
Zhou Weiqing had told almost all of his important experiences, including those of his romantic affairs. However, he did not see the need to explain his purpose of obtaining the Spatial Transportation Stone.
Zhou Weiqing shook his head, and smiled softly, “This is a secret. I’ll tell you if you give me the Spatial Transportation Stone.”
“Dream on,” Dongfang Hanyue replied with a grunt, “If you’re not telling, that’s fine with me too.”
The two fell into a momentary silence; only the crackling sounds of the fire could be heard.
“Compared to you, my experiences are far simpler. Aren’t you curious about how I got to possess the powers of a Heavenly Emperor or the reputation of being a God Tier Master?” Dongfang Hanyue asked in a low voice.
Zhou Weiqing nodded; he was curious indeed.
Dongfang Hanyue mumbled, “Actually, you don’t need to doubt yourself. Your talents are far superior to mine. I’m sure that if it was only self-cultivation, I would never possess powers the way you do, despite being several years older than you. Most of my cultivation is external.”
“External?” Zhou Weiqing asked in disbelief.
Dongfang Hanyue replied, “You should’ve noticed. The higher ranks of our Mysterious Heavenly Palace have all inherited the powers of Darkness Attribute. In fact, this is the Blackfiend Dagon Bloodline flowing in our body. The bloodlines of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace, especially for me as the Palace Master’s heir is a result of our ancestor being an offspring formed by the fusion of the Blackfiend Dragon and a human. So, in a sense, I’m not a pure human being, but a dragon-human hybrid.”
“My ancestor, transformed into a human being through the cultivation of the transfiguration technique, married a human woman, and then had descendants like us. Combined with the physique of Blackfiend Dragon as well as the wisdom and talents of humans, the foundation of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace was formed. This was how the Mysterious Heavenly Palace was built. There was also the Blackfiend Dragon’s protection along the way. This was how the Darkness Attribute came about.”
“Therefore, we call ourselves the Dragon Clan. Among the Dragon Clan, there’s an unwritten rule, one that has been passed down. When the former Palace Master is about to die, he’ll be able to channel his cultivation base to the next Palace Master. Although the complete cultivation base cannot be received,?with this inheritance, it allows the next Palace Master to possess the greatest power possible in the shortest amount of time. This inheritance is only possible within the purest bloodline of our Dragon Clan. I’m the inheritor of his generation. My father had forcefully made his way to the Heavenly God-tier but failed and gravely injured himself. Before he died, he channeled the cultivation base he had accumulated through his whole life to me.”
“This form of inheritance may allow me to promptly possess the powers of Heavenly God-tier,?but since it came too easily and I haven’t accumulated sufficient experience, I’m only limited to the cultivation base of a Heavenly God Tier in my life.”
At this point, Zhou Weiqing finally understood the origins of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace. The information Dongfang Hanyue had told him was the secrets of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace. However, she had revealed everything without hesitation.
“What about the Palace Master Dongfang? Who is he? Is he also a Supreme Elder?” Zhou Weiqing asked.
Dongfang Hanyue shook her head and said, “She’s my mother. My mother is ruling the Mysterious Heavenly Palace alongside me to aid me in holding down the elders. Nevertheless, I’m the key ruler. The first Palace Master you met was me, and the next was my mother as I was then required to show myself as the God Tier Master Meng Xing.”
Realization dawned on Zhou Weiqing, “No wonder I felt a difference the during the second meeting. It was because there was a change in the person I was meeting. Nonetheless, the mask of your Mysterious Heavenly Palace is magical indeed. I can’t even distinguish between male and female.”
Dongfang Hanyue’s eyes turned blurry, “For most people, the Mysterious Heavenly Palace is always an untouchable existence. What they don’t know is the loneliness of being a Palace Master. Your experiences can take up a few hours, but mine could just be summarized within these few sentences. Had I been given the choice, I’d rather become an ordinary human being.”
Zhou Weiqing said, “Destiny may have chosen you, but you can attempt to alter it.”
Dongfang Hanyue smiled bitterly, “Change? How? I’m responsible for ensuring the legacy of our bloodline and sustaining the ruling position of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace. All I can do is to let the Mysterious Heavenly Palace remain strong.”
At this point, all of a sudden, a surge of powerful aura exploded from her body, Dongfang Hanyue stood up slowly and directed her stern gaze at Zhou Weiqing, “My powers have now fully recovered.”
