Chapter 1282 - Azurecloud Divine Tree
Tianming shot a glance at Long Longlong; the youth that had been so dissatisfied with how things turned out was completely stupefied at the sight of the Sky Palace stigma on his forehead. His will was already crumbling. His mother had just consoled him that he was far superior than Tianming in terms of talent and would be able to surpa.s.s him one day, but the Sky Palace had changed everything.
"Master," Tianming and Yu Ziqian greeted Jiang Qingliu. Tianming noted the gentle and beautiful woman that stood beside him. Though she stood out from the others with her beauty, she didn't act cold at all. Her smile actually seemed particularly pleasant, especially with that dimple. The gaze with which she looked at him was also rather mystical, as if she was looking at a treasure she deeply cherished.
"Ziqian, Tianming, congratulations on joining the Sky Palace! The Azuresoul Palace is proud of you! Youve also made your master unbelievably proud." Jiang Qingliu felt like he was dreaming. This was the best outcome that could have happened, and he was completely relieved.
The four Dragon Imperials that were present looked at one another. It was a decent outcome, and they definitely benefited greatly from it. Not to mention, with two Sky Palace members in their ranks, they would be able to securely hold the Ninedragon Imperius.
"According to the rules, the two of you can serve your sects before you reach five hundred years old. However, I'm afraid the Azuresoul Palace can no longer accommodate your cultivation needs. The Xuanyuan Dragon Sect can give you far better cultivation resources, so before you came out, I already discussed it with the Whitedragon Empress. If you agree, you can be brought to the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect for a joint nurturing program between our two sects. At the same time, the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect will also support the Azuresoul Palace. What do you think about this arrangement?" Jiang Qingliu said, going to the point.
Tianming knew that Jiang Qingliu had only survived up to now thanks to the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect.
"What do you think?" Yu Ziqian asked.
"If we didn't manage to join the Sky Palace, we would've needed to carefully deliberate this. But now we can just go wherever the resources are more plentiful," Tianming said.
"Makes sense!"
Additionally, the Azuresoul Palace would fare much better with outside help. That would be Yu Ziqian's contribution to his sect.
As they were discussing it, Jiang Qingliu came to them. "Ziqian, honestly, I suggest you go with them. As for Tianming, its your own decision to make."
Tianming was a decisive person. He looked at the Whitedragon Empress. Feng had already explained what happened before they left the pillar to him.
"Come with us. I promise you well make sure you're well taken care of. If there's anything you need, you can come to me," Long Wanying said.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Whitedragon Empress. Well go along with the plans," Tianming said. The fact that she had fought to defend him even before it was known that hed joined the Sky Palace made a good impression on him. He wouldn't let her down, knowing that.
"How decisive!" She shot him a thumbs-up. "That's great," she said, relieved. Everything had gone according to plan.
......
"Let's disperse!"
"There's no point in staying here."
"Jiang Qingliu had been planning this with Long Wanying, and she immediately started working on their case. It's only natural that Li Tianming and Yu Ziqian would join the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect."
"She made the right bet."
"The only faction stronger than the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect is the Dreamless Celestial Nation, but since they have no affiliation with them, there's no way they'll go over to them."
"Looks like our sects aren't even comparable to the Azuresoul Palace. Let's forget this."
"There'll be no fight now. Let's leave!"
Thanks to the two Sky Palaces stigmas, the brewing storm dissipated and all was well. The resolution was far calmer than anyone could have imagined. The countless elites there left disinterestedly after seeing the outcome.
"Come. Let's return to the sect."
"This Voidsky Skirmish seemed rather pointless. It's like it was only for the Sky Palace and top five factions."
Though most people had even more complaints, they didn't dare voice them.
"The warG.o.deans and Blueblood Starocean brought so many people in preparation to fight. They must be stupefied by the outcome."
People turned to look at the two factions and saw that they were oozing with animosity. The warG.o.deans were fierce fighters to begin with, and the cultivators of the Blueblood Starocean held much pride thanks to being totem users. Their arrogance made them rather hard to approach. Though they had a.s.sembled an army, it was all for naught. Things couldn't get more awkward than this. They stayed there even as everyone else began leaving. It took until a deep, low voice barked an order for the warG.o.deans and Blueblood Starocean to give up and disperse, further setting the current status quo in stone.
"Disperse!"
The folks of the Supracloud Sanctuary were just as shocked. This result meant the Azuresoul Palace would completely dominate them and they wouldn't be able to resist at all. Their fate was to be trampled.
"Jiang Qingliu... Gujian Qingshuang...." They all hatefully ground their teeth when they looked at the two Sky Palace disciples.
"Brother Yun," someone called out from behind.
Yun Tianque turned back and saw the Tumulus Pill G.o.d and Lan Sha waving at him. Though most of the warG.o.deans and Blueblood Starocean members had left, these two top figures and some elites remained behind.
"Brother Lan! Pill G.o.d!" Yun Tianque respectfully hurried toward them.
"Based on the latest reports, that thing in the Azurecloud Continent is about finished growing, right? Once it matures, itll take another year, more or less. Youd better go back to prepare," said the Tumulus Pill G.o.d with a sly, chilling smile.
"Yes, it'll mature any time now!" Yun Tianque said.
"If its maintained for more than a year, I wonder how many precious 'fruits' we'll be able to harvest for refining pills.... I really envy you. The divine tree on your continent is truly a miracle. The Supracloud Sanctuary must only be able to dominate the continent thanks to your ancestors foresight. And given the agreement between the Myriad Solar Sects and the Sky Palace, I'm sure it's hard for others to take it as well," Lan Sha said.
"Gentlemen, please listen to what I have to say," Yun Tianque said with a solemn look. "There's no way my sect can enjoy the benefits of so many resources. The divine tree is simply so miraculous that we have much left over to offer others. Hence, I've decided to extend my invitation to the warG.o.deans and Blueblood Starocean to help with the harvest. I wonder if youll agree to help me with this little endeavor?"
"Since Brother Yun needs help, then Blueblood Starocean wont hesitate to offer it. Since we came by your invitation, we wouldn't be violating the existing agreement with the Sky Palace," Lan Sha said.
"What about the warG.o.deans?" Yun Tianque turned to the Tumulus Pill G.o.d.
"Since a friend needs help, we warG.o.deans won't hesitate to offer it."
"Thank you, gentlemen!"
