Chapter 238: Exalted Sacred Daughter Yao Tan

“Greetings, Exalted Sacred Daughter Yao Tan.”

Several disciples with extraordinary bearing flew out from the Venus Ruins Domain, casting a mysterious glance at Xu Disheng before respectfully bowing to Yao Tan.

“Rise,” Yao Tan said, lightly waving her sleeve. Just as she was about to head into the Venus Ruins Domain, she noticed Xu Disheng was still observing the Venus Water Mirror that spanned the sky of the entire Yuluo Realm. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and also looked off into the sky. “This mirror was discarded here by Greater Lord Hong Yao to suppress the aura of the Yuluo Realm,” she explained, emphasizing the word ‘discarded’.

“Exalted Sacred Daughter Yao Tan, is this young man Soul Suppressor?” A man in purple robes floated out from the Domain of Taibai. His aura, at the peak Divine Core stage, surged around him. His tone was inquisitive, but he was fixing a piercing gaze on Xu Disheng.

Yao Tan frowned, releasing a red light to suppress the man’s aura. Her voice turned colder as she said, “Purple Sun Spirit Master, Soul Suppressor is soon to be named a Shangqing Sacred Son and is my future husband. How dare you act so presumptuously?”

Purple Sun Spirit Master’s face revealed a trace of unwillingness. As he gazed at Yao Tan, his eyes were filled with salacious desire. “This young man is merely at the Dao Foundation stage. Apart from his good looks, what merits does he have to be worthy of you?”

He looked at Xu Disheng with a mocking expression and said snidely, “Soul Suppressor, do you only know how to hide behind a woman? Do you think you’re worthy of the title of Shangqing Sacred Son?”

“Purple Sun!” The look in Yao Tan’s eyes turned icy. She flipped her fair, slender hand, and a blood-red sword with an imposing aura appeared. The sword vibrated incessantly, emitting a deadly droning noise.

“Exalted Sacred Daughter Yao Tan, don’t try to take out the Spirit Exterminating Blood Sword to try and intimidate me. Do you truly dare to attack me outside the Domain of Realm Master Kunxu?” Fully aware of the current circumstances, Purple Sun Spirit Master was fearless. His peak Divine Core stage aura rose again, pressing down directly on Xu Disheng.

In his mind, Soul Suppressor Sacred Son was merely at the Dao Foundation stage. Even if he possessed a Profound Treasure, he was no match for his peak Divine Core stage cultivation.

Yao Tan bit her lip, the vibrating of the Spirit Exterminating Blood Sword in her hand intensifying. Echoes of screams and roars seemed to echo out from within, its red halo becoming even more vivid.

BOOM!

Before Yao Tan could decide whether to act, Xu Disheng floated into the air. The Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda cast forth thousands of rays of light, not only dispersing the weight of Purple Sun Spirit Master’s suppressing aura, but also manifesting a giant hand of profound light that shattered the man’s protective profound qi shield. The collision resulted in a deafening explosion, scattering rays of profound qi light everywhere.

Merely a brief moment after activating the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda, Xu Disheng was already a match for a peak Divine Core Spirit Master!

Xu Disheng’s expression was cold, his Soul Force was rotating at full power. The light emanating from the Black Sky Yellow Earth became even more intense. Even though he was facing a peak Divine Core Spirit Master, he still chose to act decisively!

To his surprise, Purple Sun Spirit Master suddenly withdrew all his aura, revealing a mysterious smile. “Exalted Sacred Daughter Yao Tan, Soul Suppressor has violated the sect rules by attacking a Spirit Master of the Divine Core stage without reason. I will report this to Realm Master Kunxu!”

Purple Sun Spirit Master was extremely sinister and cunning. He had merely released his aura indiscriminately. If one really tried to split hairs, it couldn’t be said that he had been specifically targeting Xu Disheng.

“Yao Tan, bring Soul Suppressor inside.”

An elderly voice, devoid of emotion, echoed outside the Venus Ruins Domain. Both the previously arrogant Purple Sun Spirit Master and Exalted Sacred Daughter Yao Tan, along with the several other genius disciples present, immediately lowered their heads in respect.

“Yes, Realm Master Kunxu.”

Yao Tan sheathed her sword and shot a glare at Purple Sun Spirit Master, “You must feel disappointed. Unfortunately for you, Realm Master Kunxu doesn’t care about your ridiculous act.”

Purple Sun Spirit Master snorted coldly. He had only wanted to suppress Xu Disheng with his aura, taking advantage of the fact that he had not yet been officially named Shangqing Sacred Son, to teach him a lesson. However, he hadn’t expected that Xu Disheng would act so boldly and directly attack with his Profound Treasure, nor that Realm Master Kunxu would have no intention of pursuing the matter.

Could this really not be changed? Purple Sun Spirit Master’s face darkened further. He possessed a noble status, being a direct bloodline descendent of Realm Master Biqiong and having been named as a Sacred Son when he was at the Dao Foundation stage. He was a top genius with a Rank 4 Spiritual Root, and in only a little over 200 years, he had reached the peak of the Divine Core stage.

Even though he was truly outstanding, he still wasn’t able to reach the level of prestige characteristic of a Shangqing Sacred Sons. He heard that Greater Lord Mingxin had passed down a command to the three Realm Masters, not only ordering them to bestow Xu Disheng with the title of Shangqing Sacred Son, but also to have Yao Tan, the Shangqing Sacred Daughter who had risen to great heights in the past century, betrothed to him as cultivation partners. And apparently, all of this was simply because of Xu Disheng’s extraordinary profound law foundation!

Purple Sun Spirit Master had always had special feelings for Yao Tan, but due to her status as a Shangqing Sacred Daughter and her direct bloodline relation to Greater Lord Mingxin, he couldn’t force anything. Now, a mere Dao Foundation stage Sacred Son was about to take both things he had always longed for. It could be imagined just how intense his resentment and jealousy was towards Xu Disheng because of this.

The title of Shangqing Sacred Son was not only extremely noble but also rare. Even in the vast Shangqing Sacred Sect, there were only a little over ten at the moment.

Ordinary Sacred Sons were only at the Sea of Qi or Dao Foundation stages, but a Shangqing Sacred Son represented the potential to reach the Clone Avatar stage Greater Lord. In terms of status, the title was comparable to an ordinary Primordial Lord at the Primordial Spirit stage. This extremely noble status would last until their lifespan was expended or until they broke through to the Clone Avatar stage!

Xu Disheng put away the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda and gave Purple Sun Spirit Master a dismissive glance before following Yao Tan into the Venus Ruins Domain.

However, the killing intent in the depths of Xu Disheng’s soul only grew more intense.

Not just towards the Purple Sun Spirit Master who had just tried to humiliate him, but also the Zhao Clan of the Mountain of Law, and even… the Zhao Clan’s Patriarch, Spirit Controlling Primordial Lord.

As soon as they entered the domain, Yao Tan turned her head to look at him, her voice tinged with concern, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Xu Disheng glanced at her nearly perfect, fair face and hesitated for a moment, “Thank you for just now, Spirit Master.”

Hearing this, the icy exterior that Yao Tan had put on outside the Venus Ruins Domain melted away like snow, revealing a beautiful, radiant smile. Her eyes, shimmering like sunset waves, were fixed on Xu Disheng, “We are soon to be cultivation partners, there’s no need for thanks.”

“Greetings, Exalted Sacred Daughter Yao Tan.”

Before Xu Disheng could respond, a handsome young man riding a beam of green light flew up and greeted Yao Tan. After bowing to her, he looked directly at Xu Disheng, “This is… Soul Suppressor Sacred Son?”

Xu Disheng nodded slightly, and the handsome young man laughed, “Patriarch Kunxu mentioned to me earlier that our sect has birthed another genius with the potential for the Clone Avatar stage. Seeing you now, it seems to be true.”

Even though his words contained a hint of flattery, it felt incredibly natural and not awkward in the slightest.

This handsome young man referred to Realm Master Kunxu as his patriarch, clearly indicating that he was a direct descendant. Moreover, he was at the peak of the Dao Foundation stage. Xu Disheng didn’t act arrogantly in front of him and said, “Realm Master Kunxu is too kind.”

“Exalted Sacred Daughter Yao Tan, let’s go see Realm Master,” said the young man, leading the way on his green beam of light. Xu Disheng followed, taking in the sights of the Venus Ruins Domain.

Dozens of floating land fragments of varying sizes were suspended in the Domain of Taibai. The larger ones spanned thousands of meters, with palaces and misty clouds, appearing grand and luxurious.

Even the smaller ones were hundreds of meters wide, each with differently-sized palaces erected on them. Clearly, these palaces were where the many disciples in the Venus Ruins Domain practiced cultivation.

Upon reaching the largest piece of land, the handsome young man stopped and said with a smile, “Realm Master Kunxu is currently in Venus Spirit Hall. Exalted Sacred Daughter Yao Tan and Soul Suppressor Sacred Son, you may go in directly to meet him.”

“Junior Martial Brother Jingyuan, thank you for your trouble,” Yao Tan said gently, thanking him. Then, she led Xu Disheng into the Venus Spirit Hall..

The hall was incredibly spacious, with several extremely powerful auras present. As soon as Yao Tan and Xu Disheng entered, several gazes immediately turned towards them.

“Yao Tan pays her respects to Realm Master Kunxu.”

“Soul Suppressor pays his respects to Realm Master Kunxu.”

“Rise, Soul Suppressor. Come closer,” said Realm Master Kunxu, an elderly-looking man dressed in a black and white Daoist robe. With a wave of his sleeve, a divine light swept out, and Xu Disheng felt his vision blur. When his eyes refocused, he found himself in the very center of the hall.

“Soul Suppressor, you must have heard about Yao Tan. Were you surprised?” A somewhat familiar voice resounded in Xu Disheng’s ears. He looked up to see a handsome young man in black standing beside Realm Master Kunxu, his eyes teasing a hint of mischief as he looked at Xu Disheng.

This young man was none other than the Peak Master of Clearheart Peak, at the half-step Primordial Spirit stage, a genius known as Chen Xunming.

“Peak Master,” Xu Disheng acknowledged.

Chen Xunming flicked his sleeves and said, “You are about to be bestowed the title of Shangqing Sacred Son. In terms of status, you would be higher than me by one level. You would be on equal footing with Primordial Lords, so there would be no need to pay me your regards.”

The divine glow radiating from Realm Master Kunxu’s black and white Daoist robe was sufficient to illuminate the entire hall. He waved his sleeve, causing a tapestry of golden embroidered silk to appear above his palm, where it floated in midair.
