CHAPTER 625: CHAPTER 217 FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! (6K)

At this moment, upon hearing Zhou Qing’s inquiry, Second Elder slowly opened his eyes, looking somewhat unfulfilled.

"I haven’t really learned much about this. To the east of the Holy Martial Dynasty is a fourth-level cultivation country called Jiu Li."

"And this cultivation country contacts four other cultivation countries, one of which seems to border a fifth-level cultivation country."

He stroked his chin, trying hard to recall, "That fifth-level cultivation country seems to be called... let me think. Yes, the Celestial Fate Sacred Dynasty, that must be it. Anyway, it’s too far away for me to have been there."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.

"Celestial Fate Sacred Dynasty? It seems No. 6 must be from this cultivation country!"

Not long after the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, No. 6 mentioned this in the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace, but No. 4 and No. 5 didn’t believe it at all.

After all, even the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown was extremely rare, let alone the unheard-of Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown.

Moreover, there are several fourth-level cultivation countries between the Holy Martial Dynasty and the Celestial Fate Sacred Dynasty. Even if No. 6 were in the Spirit Severing Realm, it would be impossible to travel so quickly and hear of the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown.

It seemed that, at that time, she was either within the Holy Martial Dynasty or in a neighboring country.

Next time, it would be worth probing.

"Second Elder, what are you doing?" Zhou Qing’s curiosity was piqued by the repeated eerie laughter, and he couldn’t help but ask.

Second Elder waved his hand, looking mysterious, "Nothing much. Since that Xuanyuan youngster is coming, I won’t go to the banquet, I’ll just find an excuse."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Brother Zhou, the emperor and grandpa have returned, and they have now prepared a celebration banquet, inviting you over. By the way, is Brother Siyun here? His residence seems empty."

Xuanyuan Yichen’s voice came from outside the door.

Zhou Qing looked at Second Elder and shrugged helplessly before getting up and walking out of the room.

...

At the banquet, Xuanyuan Shuo was extremely pleased.

Ever since the Four-Color Array started to decline, he had spent every day in worry.

Any slight disturbance from the Three Great Demon Mountains would immediately put him on alert.

The Demon Emperor, Elder Feng of the Great Demon Mountain, acted mysteriously, often sneaking into the mainland, and Xuanyuan Shuo would secretly follow and monitor him.

He even resorted to seeking help from his brother, hoping to once again find that Level 4 Array Master to aid in repairing the array.

But the answer he received was that Level 4 Array Masters were elusive even in fifth-level cultivation countries, making them incredibly hard to find.

Out of desperation, he had no choice but to invite the two highest-ranking Third-level Array Masters in the dynasty—Su Lishan and Wu Tiangang.

He handed them the precious jade slips containing the array records without any reservation.

Unexpectedly, after more than five years of burning through resources and effort, not only did they fail to solve the problem, but they made the situation worse.

He had thought the array would just hang on in its weakened state, but to his surprise, Lin Daochen and Zhou Qing and their group came and repaired it completely in just three days.

What did this signify?

It signified that without identifying the root cause, all other efforts were in vain.

Su Lishan and Wu Tiangang appeared diligent in repairing the array, but in reality, they were merely performing superficial tasks, blindly carrying out some trivial repairs.

They even made mistakes and impatiently tried to blame others, nearly causing the entire array to collapse.

Now, with the array fully repaired, the immense weight in his heart was finally lifted.

At this moment, the banquet was brightly lit and bustling. The spacious hall was filled with delicious food and the aroma of wine.

Xuanyuan Shuo raised his wine cup, stood up, and his gaze swept over everyone present. His face was full of gratification and gratitude.

"Today, the array could be repaired all thanks to the efforts of Master Lin and our young friend Zhou Qing. Let’s toast to them!"

The captains of the nine legions, including Xuanyuan Shuo’s apprentices, the Ninth Prince and the princess, all stood up, raising their cups high in a toast to Zhou Qing, Lin Daochen, and their group.

Zhou Qing, Lin Daochen, and their group quickly stood up, full of humility.

Yan Xiaohu, who was also drinking, sighed as he watched Old Four substitute tea for wine.

Such a good young man, but he was ruined by Senior Brother Du Kui.

However, not drinking is good; it prevents problems, and it seems that Lu Yaoyao doesn’t like Old Four drinking anyway.

But it was different for him. He had long been accustomed to the cup, and probably wouldn’t change for the rest of his life.

"Brother Zhou, I am Lu Jinghong, the Left Vice General of the Dragon Soaring Army. I heard you defeated Jiang Pojun in less than half an hour? Is that true?"

After three rounds of drinks, a burly middle-aged man stood up, holding a cup and walking over with large strides.

Each legion had left and right vice generals, held by Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators, and Jiang Pojun was the Right Vice General of the Dragon Soaring Army.

At this moment, many who were unaware were shocked, including the Seventh Prince Xuanyuan Yichen, whose eyes were filled with disbelief.

Jiang Pojun was a Divinity Transformation Realm expert, practically invincible at the same level. How could Zhou Qing have defeated him?

Wait—

Realizing this, Xuanyuan Yichen quickly probed Zhou Qing, only to find that Zhou Qing’s aura was as deep as the sea, with no leakage at all.

"Could it be that he has already reached Divinity Transformation? How is that possible?"

A few years ago at the White Jade Taixu Courtyard, his progress was fast, but he was only at the Nascent Soul Realm. I even congratulated him on repairing his Golden Core.

It hasn’t been that long since then, and not only has he fallen behind his senior brother Ghost Mastiff, but now Zhou Qing has also left him far behind.
