The Domain Lord, the ruler of an entire domain!
All the major sect leaders in each domain are qualified to contend for the position of Domain Lord.
The struggle for Domain Lord is straightforward.
It’s simply a matter of who is the strongest, for they will become the Domain Lord!
After all, how can one protect a domain if they’re not superior in skill?
Now, within the Eastern Domain, only two major sects remain.
The Burning Flame Sect and the Star Pavilion!
Therefore, the Domain Lord will emerge from either Ye Tianjun or Liu Xiao.
Liu Xiao summoned Ling Chen and Shen Xing over.
"Ling Chen, did you say the person you found is a Heavenly Destiny Master from the Heavenly Destiny Sect?"
Liu Xiao’s expression was solemn.
Ling Chen nodded and said, "Why, is this Heavenly Destiny Master very famous?"
Hearing this, Liu Xiao nodded earnestly, "Indeed, extremely famous! The Heavenly Destiny Sect is said to be a very secretive power in the Central Domain. They only recruit Divine Thought Masters and do not take in Cultivators!" Latest content published on novel⦿fire.net
"They don’t engage in Artifact Refining, Alchemy, or cultivate Spirit Arrays; instead, they practice a peculiar art called the Heavenly Destiny Technique. It’s renowned throughout Qing Province! It is said that even the State Governor holds this sect in high esteem!"
"What exactly is this Heavenly Destiny Technique? Why have I never heard of it before?"
Even in the Central Province, he had never heard of such an unusual technique.
Liu Xiao said, "The Heavenly Destiny Sect has only risen for a hundred years. It’s normal for it to be unheard of in Central Province. I’m not clear on what exactly this Heavenly Destiny Technique is, but I’ve heard that this technique has the power to defy the heavens and change destiny!"
"The fact that they could locate your whereabouts shows that this technique is no trivial matter!"
"Therefore, with our current strength, it’s best not to provoke this sect!"
Liu Xiao paused and continued, "I know you two are young and bold and definitely cannot let go of this enmity. But you must understand, even the State Governor doesn’t dare to underestimate the Heavenly Destiny Sect. It’s not that their strength is formidable—there will always be a day when the two of you could catch up. What’s terrifying is the unknown. No one knows what kind of formidable power they truly possess!"
"So, I hope you can just keep this in mind for now. Wait until your strength surpasses that of Qing Province, then you can make a move against this sect!"
Both Ling Chen and Shen Xing nodded.
The Heavenly Destiny Sect helped the Burning Flame Sect locate them, such enmity naturally could not be easily forgiven.
But, as the Pavilion Master said, the unknown was the most terrifying thing!
Liu Xiao exhaled, smiled, and said, "All right, go on with your cultivation, I’m also going into seclusion. Seven months from now, it will be our time to battle the Burning Flame Sect!"
In the competition for Domain Lord, Liu Xiao, of course, would not give in.
Ling Chen and Shen Xing left.
"Mr. Shen, I’m heading to the Dragon Vein to attempt breaking through to the World Realm."
Ling Chen said with a smile.
"Then I offer my early congratulations, Young Master Ling!"
Shen Xing said with clasped hands.
Once, his cultivation had been above Ling Chen’s, but now Ling Chen was in the later stages of the ninth level of the Palace Mansion Realm, while he had just reached the ninth level only.
However, his main strength lay in his physique, relying on the Star Divine Body.
To him, spiritual power was, in the end, just a supplementary path.
Moreover, the Star Divine Body’s cultivation mainly drew on the power of stars, so naturally, Shen Xing wouldn’t continue to cultivate in a place like the Dragon Vein, where one couldn’t see the sun.
Seeing Ling Chen return, Qing Luan was particularly happy.
It pounced directly into Ling Chen’s arms.
"Young Master Ling, you’ve finally returned."
Xiao Qing said with a smile.
She gazed at Ling Chen with eager eyes.
"I think you just want to drink, right?"
Ling Chen chuckled, took out a bottle of Alcohol Immortal effortlessly.
Xiao Qing’s eyes lit up immediately.
She tipped her head back slightly and, with a wave of spiritual power, poured the Alcohol Immortal directly into her mouth.
Soon, a whole bottle had been consumed.
After finishing, she still licked her lips with an unfilled desire.
Xiao Qing laughed sheepishly.
Ling Chen didn’t mind and took out a few more bottles, giving them to Xiao Qing.
A man and a bird drank together.
"Oh right, this time, I came to tell you some good news!"
Ling Chen said with a smile.
Xiao Qing asked curiously.
"Remember how I asked you for essence blood last time and mentioned our Star Pavilion was under siege? Now, our enemies have been repelled!"
Ling Chen declared with a grin: "From now on, you can soar freely between heaven and earth."
Xiao Qing immediately showed an excited face.
Ling Chen boasted confidently: "Didn’t you see whom you’re following!"
Xiao Qing looked disdainful: "You, a king?"
However, its gaze fell upon Ling Chen and it suddenly froze.
"Palace Mansion Realm Ninth Layer Late Stage?"
Xiao Qing exclaimed in disbelief.
It was now a middle-tier level 9 King Spiritual Beast.
It thought that this time, it could easily surpass Ling Chen.
But unexpectedly, Ling Chen was still ahead!
You see, it had uniquely favorable conditions for cultivation.
While Ling Chen had been occupied with other matters outside.
"Hehe, kiddo, now you know how right you were to follow me, right?"
Ling Chen said arrogantly: "That’s right, I am a king, but nearly twenty emperors have already perished at my hands!"
"This is too much of a blow for this phoenix!"
Xiao Qing looked all puffed up, instantly appearing cute.
Ling Chen laughed heartily: "Don’t rush, there’s even more shocking news! I’m about to break through to the World Realm!"
Xiao Qing was shocked once again.
After a long while, it spoke: "Is the Night Moon Saint Body that incredible?"
Ling Chen replied with a smile: "Oh, and the honorable task of catching Spiritual Fish is now yours!"
"Get lost, I need to cultivate!"
Such a blow to the bird.
It was a Divine Beast, after all!
How could it be so suppressed by a human?
But, curses aside, Xiao Qing still became Ling Chen’s free labor and caught Spiritual Fish for him.
Ling Chen, on the opposite bank of the Spiritual Energy River, was eating the Spiritual Fish while saying, "Good job, in the future, I’ll take you out for a good time!"
Soon, Ling Chen entered into a state of cultivation.
Activating the Night Moon Saint Body, he refined the Spiritual Energy entering his body.
Only at the late stage of the Palace Mansion Realm Ninth Layer did he understand the difference between the Spiritual Energy in the Spiritual Fish and that in the river.
Previously, he felt no difference.
Now, he discovered an odd energy within the Spiritual Fish.
This strange energy followed the flow of Spiritual Power into his Palace Mansion.
At this state, the Palace Mansions had already evolved to the utmost extreme.
Yet, this marvelous energy could further evolve his Palace Mansion.
Moving from the Palace Mansion Realm to the World Realm, the most crucial step was to evolve the Palace into a small world!
The ponds and streams in the Palace Mansion had to evolve into lakes and rivers in the small world!
The gardens in the Palace Mansion had to become forests in the small world, and so on.
Only can one truly create a world.
A world of one’s own.
Such evolution would normally be incredibly difficult.
But with the energy from the Spiritual Fish, all these processes were slowly progressing.
It was as if he already had the blueprints and framework, and all that remained was adding bricks and tiles.
Now, what he needed was time.
This was also why the people of the Star Pavilion could advance to the World Realm in a short period of time!
