Chapter 492: Temple of the Sun (6)

“G.o.dhood?” Shen Yanxiao had never heard that word before. She did not believe that something so impressive would be found in her.

“The G.o.ds are divided into different levels based on their strength. The average G.o.ds do not possess G.o.dhood. Only those with ranking had G.o.dhood. There are four ranks of G.o.ds—the low-ranking G.o.ds, the mid-ranking G.o.ds, the high-ranking G.o.ds, and the ruling G.o.d. G.o.ds from these different ranks have different numbers of G.o.dhood, and the G.o.d of the Sun was a high-ranking G.o.d with seven G.o.dhoods. Only a G.o.d with G.o.dhood could trigger the magical array that he had set up,” Xiu explained.

“Xiu, are you a G.o.d?” After a long moment of silence, Shen Yanxiao finally found the courage to ask the question that weighed in her mind.

Shen Yanxiao had never had a clear idea about Xiu’s ident.i.ty. She only knew that he was very powerful, and the Vermillion Bird had mentioned that Xiu could be part of the G.o.d race. The G.o.d of the Sun had set up the magical array so that only a G.o.d with G.o.dhood could trigger it. All the evidence pointed to the possibility that Xiu was a G.o.d.

Was Xiu a G.o.d that had survived that ancient battle?

Unfortunately, Xiu did not give her a reply.

“Alright, let’s move on to another question. How do we get out?” Since Xiu did not like to discuss his ident.i.ty, Shen Yanxiao was smart enough to drop the issue.

Walls surrounded them in that palace; there was not even a chimney. Who would know where the G.o.d of the Sun had decided to seal the main hall?

She had obtained the Skeleton flow, but how would they get out of there?

“We’ll have to break through the magical array.” Xiu’s answer utterly astounded Shen Yanxiao.

They would have to break through a magical barrier that a superior G.o.d had set up?

…

Shen Yanxiao knew that it was almost an impossible mission to do that.

“That would be a problem.” Shen Yanxiao was depressed. She had tried to reach the Vermillion Bird, but their spiritual link was gone. Did the magical array have the ability to isolate one’s mental connection?

“That is not entirely impossible. It has been tens of millions of years, so the strength in that magical array would have greatly weakened. If I can recover a little more of my strength, I can give it a go.” Xiu was less troubled about their situation.

Shen Yanxiao’s face brightened when she heard his words.

She would usually look despaired whenever Xiu mentioned that he needed to recover his strength. However, she had all three ingredients then so Xiu could finally put them together and regain his power with the dark elements that the plants would produce!

Shen Yanxiao was glad that she had brought the Flames Gra.s.s and the Moling Plant with her.

She took all plants from her interspatial ring. There was just one problem…

She had all the items, but how was she supposed to cultivate them?

There was no soil within their reach.

“You can use your magical power and battle aura as a growth medium to plant them for now.” Xiu’s answer came at perfect timing to solve Shen Yanxiao’s problem.

Shen Yanxiao immediately put all the three plants in her hands and wrapped them in her battle aura.

The three plants quickly exhibited new vitality as barely-visible gray steam rose from the plants.

It had worked!

Shen Yanxiao was pleased. “Xiu, how long do you need before you can break through the magical array?” she casually asked.

“Two to three months.”

Once again, Shen Yanxiao was speechless. A gulp of blood surged in her throat in a moment of frustration. She felt as if she had fallen from paradise!

Two to three months!

The compet.i.tion between academies in the Longxuan Empire would commence in just two months!
