Chapter 1061: Chapter 1055: Journey to the Ancient Divine Palace

“Yes, Ancestor, although Huang Xiaolong has won first place in this Three Sects’ Inner Sect trial, it doesn’t mean he should be given the power and treatment of a Supreme Elder!” Zhuang Xuan spoke up as he saw Cao Yang speak, gathering his courage to advise.

“Chen Hao is our Barbarian God Sect’s chief disciple, yet even he only receives the treatment and power of an elder,” Huang Junfei cautiously stepped forward, “How can Huang Xiaolong, a mere core disciple, possess privileges and status higher than Chen Hao!”

Other Supreme Elders who supported Chen Hao also began voicing their opposition and advice.

Lv Zhuo furrowed his brow, a vast divine power surged upward from his body, and he said coldly: “Rules? Are my words not rules?”

Faced with Lv Zhuo’s terrifying pressure, Cao Yang, Zhuang Xuan, Huang Junfei, and others turned pale, hurriedly kneeling, repeatedly saying they didn’t dare.

“Alright, this matter is thus settled!” Lv Zhuo snorted coldly, leaving no room for doubt.

Cao Yang, Zhuang Xuan, Huang Junfei, and others dared not speak further.

Lv Zhuo turned his head to Huang Xiaolong, his previously stern face suddenly softened with a smile: “Xiao Long, take a good rest for the next couple of days. Soon, I will take you to the Ancient Divine Palace for cultivation and enlightenment.”

It was an abrupt change from before.

Huang Xiaolong and another top ten disciple, Deng Wei, respectfully acknowledged.

Then, Lv Zhuo allowed Huang Xiaolong to request two conditions.

For these two conditions, Huang Xiaolong requested a Third-grade Spiritual Vein and ten thousand Tenth Rank Heavenly God Divine statuses.

The Third-grade Spiritual Vein was for his own cultivation, and the Divine statuses were for the little girl.

The Barbarian God Sect might not have ten Third-grade Spiritual Veins to spare, but one was easy enough to provide. Thus, Lv Zhuo readily granted Huang Xiaolong a Third-grade Spiritual Vein and ten thousand Tenth Rank Heavenly God Divine statuses on the spot.

Shortly after, the reward ceremony concluded.

The crowd dispersed.

Half an hour later, within Chen Hao’s cave, there were roars and bellows of fury like those of a fierce beast.

Chen Hao’s eyes were bloodshot, frantically smashing everything within the great hall.

Even several stone pillars were shattered by his furious punches, and the hall seemed about to collapse.

Chen Xiong and the Heavenly Dragon Association’s deacon disciples were all too terrified to speak.

“Lv Zhuo, you old undead, I’m the chief disciple, yet only have elder’s power and treatment. Why does Huang Xiaolong get the power and treatment of a Supreme Elder!” Chen Hao roared.

“Why?!”

“Why?!”

Chen Hao’s unwilling roar kept echoing.

But no one answered.

In the great hall, Cao Yang, Zhuang Xuan, Huang Junfei, and others watched Chen Hao’s rage, frowning, but then shook their heads. Anyone in Chen Hao’s position, upon hearing this matter, would likely lose their composure!

“Alright, everyone leave,” Cao Yang instructed Chen Xiong and the Heavenly Dragon Association disciples.

Chen Xiong and others respectfully answered, hurriedly exiting the hall.

Cao Yang said to Chen Hao: “Lv Zhuo’s announcement today likely isn’t just because Huang Xiaolong won the first place in the Three Sects’ Inner Sect trial.”

Zhuang Xuan pondered: “We’ve suspected before that Huang Xiaolong’s Divine status is not just King-level Initial Stage. Now, it seems likely that Lv Zhuo has discovered Huang Xiaolong’s Divine status. Otherwise, he couldn’t have so publicly elevated Huang Xiaolong’s status and power.”

Chen Hao quieted down, his eyes glinting with a serpent-like cold light.

“Based on my assumption, Huang Xiaolong’s Divine status is likely King-level top!” Huang Junfei suggested.

“King-level top!” Cao Yang, Zhuang Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Hao’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

“Even if it’s not King-level top, it must be very close,” Huang Junfei said seriously. “Otherwise, he couldn’t cultivate so impressively. From my perspective, he might also possess a special physique, perhaps even in the top hundred special physiques.”

“Impossible,” Cao Yang was skeptical, “I don’t believe that kid could be that monstrous.”

Chen Hao said gloomily, “King-level top-level Divine status, a top hundred special physique, and he’s had great luck in obtaining Chaos Spirit Medicine—this indeed explains his terrifying rise in strength over just a few years!”

Cao Yang stayed silent.

“We can’t let this kid live, or once he grows, we’ll likely all die by his hand,” Zhuang Xuan warned, his face showing intense killing intent.

Chen Hao’s eyes gleamed with golden light, “Huang Xiaolong won’t live long, unless he never leaves the Barbarian God Sect.”

Cao Yang suddenly changed his tone, saying to Zhuang Xuan and Huang Junfei: “Five months from now is the Cao Family Young Master’s wedding banquet, I hope you both can attend.”

“The Cao Family Young Master’s wedding, of course, we’ll come to celebrate,” Zhuang Xuan and Huang Junfei laughed heartily.

“After killing Huang Xiaolong, we’ll have a few good drinks.”

…

With the reward ceremony concluded, Huang Xiaolong returned from the Grand Heaven Palace but did not immediately consume the drop of Ancient Divine Beast Blood Phoenix Essence Blood. Instead, he took out the ten thousand Heavenly God High Stage Divine Might Tiger-shaped Pills that were part of his reward, intending to consume them for cultivation but paused.

He then took out the Sumeru Divine Mountain, the Exquisite Treasure Tower, the Soul-breaking Pearl, and the God Capturing Ring.

Then, he asked the Golden Horned Little Bull about the origins of the Sumeru Divine Mountain.

To his dismay, the Golden Horned Little Bull raised its eyes and answered simply: “They’re all fake.”

“Fake?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes widened in disbelief.

The Golden Horned Little Bull nodded, “The universe indeed has the Sumeru Divine Mountain, Exquisite Treasure Tower, Soul-breaking Pearl, and God Capturing Ring, these Chaos Treasures, but each Chaos Treasure contains Chaos Qi and has a Chaos Innate Divine Array. The ones you have don’t even have Chaos Exhaust, let alone Chaos Qi.”

Huang Xiaolong looked through the four treasures in disappointment.

“However, though your four Divine Artifacts are not Chaos Treasures, they were crafted by Ancient God powerhouses as replicas and are quite powerful. The Sumeru Divine Skill that comes with your Sumeru Divine Mountain is also very formidable,” said the Golden Horned Little Bull.

Huang Xiaolong shook his head.

Divine Artifacts crafted by Ancient Gods might excite other disciples of the Barbarian God Sect, but for Huang Xiaolong, they didn’t mean much.

But if these four were just replicas, how powerful would the originals be?

He couldn’t help but recall the old man he encountered when he found the Sumeru Divine Mountain. Who was that old man? Was he an avatar of some powerful being from the Divine World?

Then, Huang Xiaolong remembered Fang Chu of the Creation Gate. After killing Fang Chu’s avatar, he wondered what status Fang Chu held in the Divine World.

Two days passed quickly.

During these two days, Huang Xiaolong consumed and refined the ten thousand Divine Might Tiger-shaped Pills, stabilizing his Heavenly God Fourth-stage Early Stage power.

As for the drop of Blood Phoenix Essence Blood, Huang Xiaolong planned to consume and refine it after returning from the Ancient Divine Palace.

There was no rush.

Two days later, the ancestor of the Barbarian God Sect, Lv Zhuo, personally took Huang Xiaolong and Deng Wei to the Ancient Divine Palace.

The Ancient Divine Palace was located on the Ancient Plains, where the Barbarian God Sect, Giant Whale Sect, and Primordial Image Sect meet. (To be continued.
