Chapter 335: Princess Pianxian’s Choice Is The Correct One
North Sea, Abyss of Despair...
A female dressed in blue stood beside the massive fish tank.
She stared at the half-bird, half-fish Kun Ming inside the tank, her eyes filled with anger.
She clenched her pink fists and harrumphed. “That despicable Divine Firmament Saint. He stole our most esteemed legacy and then caused Second Brother to deviate down the wrong path.”
The woman’s beautiful face was full of resentment. “And now, he wants our Triple Light Divine Water in exchange for the Kun Peng Dao. He has gone too far and is just trying to fleece us!”
Yes, this woman was the Great Void Kun race’s eldest princess—Kun Yu.
Before Kun Ming had been born, Kun Yu was the top prodigy amongst the Great Void Kun race’s younger generation. She had been on par with the Dragon race’s Fifth Prince.
Now that she was 700 years old, she was already at the Mighty Prowess realm and had become one of the top Heavenly Venerables across the five regions.
It must be pointed out that 700 years old was still considered in one’s prime to the Kun race. If pressed, one could still be considered a young prodigy.
Kun Yu’s talent and powers were universally acknowledged.
As a result, Kun Yu was a fairy who was obsessively courted and wooed by a vast number of prodigies from all over North Sea.
Countless demon prodigies hoped to win Kun Yu’s favor. They would never have to struggle again in life but could shoot straight up to the top echelons of the demon world.
But did you know how high Kun Yu’s standards were?
Those so-called ocean demon prodigies came in all sorts of bizarre forms and shapes. Octopuses with eight tentacles, turtles with shells on their backs, crabs that couldn’t even walk straight...
Otherwise, they were too weak and couldn’t even withstand a single “Great Void Vortex” move of hers.
Those fellows had no right to even stand in her line of sight.
...
In Kun Yu’s opinion, her partner should be more talented and more powerful than her.
Otherwise, how could he subdue her?
Just because he was a good kisser?’
“And that Mermaid Princess Pianxian. My brother is so handsome and so talented. It is her honor to be favored by you.
“But she went off and chose some so-called Divine Firmament Saint. She is really blind.
“Don’t worry, when that Divine Firmament Saint comes to the Abyss of Despair, I will seek justice for you!”
Kun Yu asked with concern, “Second Brother, how are you feeling now? Does your head still hurt?”
Kun Ming felt somewhat comforted upon feeling his biological sister’s concern.
He replied morosely, “I am fine. Big Sister, you agree that I am more suitable for Pianxian rather than that Divine Firmament Saint, right?”
Kun Yu hurriedly nodded. “Of course. My brother is the most powerful prodigy among North Sea’s younger generation.
“You are also tall and handsome, as well as father’s only son. You will lead the entire Kun race in the future.
“How can a mere Divine Firmament Saint compare to you? There’s no doubt that the Mermaid Princess is blind.”
At that moment, Kun Yu’s little conch vibrated.
Her gaze hardened. “Oh? The guards just messaged that the Divine Firmament Saint has already arrived at the Abyss of Despair’s borders.”
The liquid inside the fish tank started to churn. It was clear that Kun Ming was feeling very agitated.
If not for the fact that he wasn’t looking very good now and had an image to maintain, he would have charged out the door.
Kun Yu patted the tank to console her little brother. “Calm down. You still have me! He wants to take our Triple Light Divine Water? Hmph, not so easy. I will go find that little punk now to settle your scores for you!”
Kun Yu swaggered out of the palace and took out a Kun-shaped artifact. She sat on top of it and flew to the Abyss of Despair’s borders.
At the Abyss of Despair’s borders...
Shen Tian had arrived, led by a Heavenly Venerable of the Kun race.
The so-called Abyss of Despair was a great bottomless underwater abyss in the ocean.
This abyss was millions of miles in both length and width.
As for how deep it was, no one knew.
The deeper one ventured into the Abyss of Despair, the darker and colder it became, and the more intense the water pressure. As a result, it was filled with a dead silence and despair.
Even a Sage who had undergone tribulation would not be able to reach the deepest part of this abyss. They would have to turn back halfway.
It was said that tens of thousands of years ago, the Kun race had a Great Sage who couldn’t contain his curiosity. He had made multiple attempts to venture into the deepest regions of the abyss.
500,000 feet~
800,000 feet~
,000,000 feet~
...
On his eighth attempt, the Great Sage had managed to reach 4,500,000 feet.
According to him, there was no light at all at that depth. And every single drop of water felt as heavy as a mountain.
Even more scary was the suppressive aura. It was like there was a pair of eyes fixed on him from within the darkness. It was a spine-chilling feeling, but he could not find the source.
Curiosity was an addictive thing.
In the end, that Great Kun Sage had gone in for the ninth time.
That time, there had been no return. He had just disappeared into the Abyss of Despair’s deepest regions, swallowed whole by the darkness.
It had been tens of thousands of years, but there was still no sign of him at all.
As a result, any region more than 100,000 feet deep in the Abyss of Despair was declared a forbidden zone by the Kun race. No Kun citizen was allowed to go below that.
It was a place forbidden and full of mystery!
Of course, Shen Tian would never venture anywhere that deep. Nonetheless, he remained cautious.
After all, the abyss was the Great Void Kun race’s home. They were extremely powerful, and he had a bit of past conflict with them.
He could only hope that those older Kuns would not interfere with the bickerings of the younger generation. Otherwise, having thousands of giant Kuns charging at you was a spine-chilling thought.
“Divine Firmament Saint, welcome.”
The Heavenly Venerable Kun behind him invited Shen Tian to enter the abyss.
At that moment, Shen Tian felt like he was like a fly being invited to step on a spider’s web.
Well, as Buddha said, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” In order to save Kun Ming, I am willing to take the risk!
...
Just then, a blue light suddenly flashed in the abyss.
An almighty Heavenly Venerable-level aura engulfed the area. Even the veteran Heavenly Venerable beside Shen Tian couldn’t help taking several steps back.
“It’s Eldest Princess. Why is she here?”
The Heavenly Venerable Kun’s face changed. He still remembered his leader’s instructions—ensure the Divine Firmament Saint’s safety at all cost.
Now that the Divine Firmament Saint was here, and Eldest Princess had suddenly appeared... things were not looking good at all!
He could distinctly feel Kun Yu’s domineering aura. She was clearly not here to welcome the guest but to stir trouble.
Everyone in the Kun race knew that their Eldest Princess was very close to her little brother.
Apart from herself, no one else was allowed to bully him!
Since their Young Master had just suffered at the hands of the Divine Firmament Saint, their Eldest Princess must be hopping mad!
Now that the Divine Firmament Saint had come right to their doorstep, it was like a lamb heading in to slaughter.
The Heavenly Venerable Kun knew he was no match for the Eldest Princess, so he said in resignation, “Saint, you better take cover somewhere! I will help you stall the Eldest Princess. Contact our leader immediately, or there will be trouble!”
By then, the blue light was already arriving.
The Heavenly Venerable Kun held his forehead.
“Looks like we won’t be able to make it in time.”
“Where is the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian?”
A cold voice echoed from the abyss, and a massive Kun avatar burst forth.
In the midst of that terrifying avatar was a blue Kun-shaped artifact, and a lady dressed in blue was sitting cross-legged on top of that artifact.
She had short, blue hair and looked very beautiful and elegant, very much like a model in her 20s. At the same time, she exuded a ferocious aura.
This was clearly a young Heavenly Venerable!
...
Even Shen Tian could feel a faint pressure from that woman.
This woman’s power was quite extraordinary. Shen Tian would have to exert significant effort to hold himself against her.
The Great Void Kun race was indeed the Dragon race’s counterpart. Just a random woman from that race was already so powerful.
Truly unfathomable.
At that thought, Shen Tian took a step forward. “Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian. Greetings, Eldest Princess.”
The blue-haired woman sitting on the Kun-shaped artifact turned around.
Her gaze landed on Shen Tian, and her expression turned from cold and harsh... to soft and gentle.
Pfffttt!
This is the Divine Firmament Saint?
Robes as white as snow—pristine and untainted.
He is like a gracious deity who has just descended to earth. Like a dashing young Godking.
That face was like the Heavenly Dao’s most perfect work of art. Every single inch was heart-stirring like a fire had been lit within the heart.
How can there be such a gorgeous guy in this world?
In front of that face, “power” and “talent” seemed to pale in comparison.
At that moment, Kun Yu seemed to understand why the Mermaid Princess had chosen this Saint over her little brother.
Sigh... Compared to this Divine Firmament Saint, Second Brother is just not good enough...
Kun Yu was domineering, but she was not unreasonable. She could totally understand Yu Pianxian’s dilemma.
At the same time, she no longer bore a grudge toward Yu Pianxian.
After all, if Kun Yu were to put herself in Yu Pianxian’s shoes—would she still have feelings for Kun Ming after looking at this Divine Firmament Saint?
Ouuu~
Second Brother, there’s a very good reason why you lost!
...
Ahem, ahem!
Although the Divine Firmament Saint was very handsome, he was still here to take their family treasures.
As the leader of the Great Void Kun race’s younger generation, Kun Yu was definitely not the flighty kind of girl who became helpless before a handsome dude.
She stared at Shen Tian mildly. Her cheeks were slightly flushed as she had been rushing over. “Are you Shen Tian? The Saint who comprehended the complete Kun Peng Dao?”
Shen Tian went on the alert. “Yes, may I know why you are asking for me?”
Kun Yu nodded. “I heard that you are the number one most handsome guy in Eastern Wilderness. Looks like those rumors are no exaggeration.”
Shen Tian, “???”
This princess really knows how to change the subject!
After a moment’s thought, Shen Tian smiled. “Eldest Princess is too kind. It’s just my Eastern Wilderness brothers teasing me.
“Meanwhile, I have also heard rumors that Eldest Princess is beautiful beyond comparison and the most exceptional fairy amongst North Sea’s younger generation. I can see now that this is indeed true.”
One must always practice reciprocity. When someone called you handsome, it was only right for you to return the compliment.
Kun Yu blushed even deeper at Shen Tian’s “polite” words. “Do you really think I am beautiful beyond comparison?”
A smile appeared on her originally passive face. In an instant, it was like icy frost had melted and spring had returned to earth.
Kun Yu landed in front of Shen Tian. Her tall, slender physique was such that she was only about half a head shorter than him. “Come, let me bring you to meet my father.”
She pulled Shen Tian by the hand, led him onto her Kun-shaped artifact, and shot straight toward the Kun Palace.
Meanwhile, Kun Ming’s body shuddered inside the big fish tank. It was as if he had lost something very important.
...
Kun Yu’s Kun-shaped artifact looked very normal, but it was a Sage-level artifact. It possessed powerful defense.
It could even unleash the Great Void Kun race’s specialty moves, Great Void Freeze and Great Void Breakaway, when activated. These moves could lower an opponent’s speed and fend off their pursuit.
It had helped Kun Yu overcome numerous dangers during her many trials.
Shen Tian felt very comfortable sitting on this artifact. It was moving at high speed too.
In just a few short moments, he was already right in front of the Kun Palace.
“Inform my father that the Divine Firmament Saint has arrived!”
Kun Yu performed a hand seal, and the gates to the palace opened. A long hallway was revealed.
The two of them flew into the palace and soon arrived at a massive black hall.
A black-robed man stood in the center of the hall. He radiated with a faint glow all over.
He stood there nonchalantly as if he was one with the space around him but pristine and untouchable.
Even with the recent huge advancement in his cultivation level, Shen Tian could feel an unfathomable pressure from this guy. He was completely defenseless before him.
No wonder he was the leader of the Great Void Kun race. So powerful!
Shen Tian bowed respectfully. “My humble greetings Kun King. I am Shen Tian.”
Shen Tian, you are finally here?
Kun Xu trembled slightly, feeling somewhat worried.
Why did Shen Tian come together with Yu’er? I hope nothing bad happened!
That foolish girl... I hope she didn’t do anything impulsive toward Shen Tian!
She better not have done anything too reckless!
But those two look like they are getting along.
I don’t think they had any conflict!
The Kun King’s heartbeat sped up. He gazed at Shen Tian impassively. “Very good. Divine Firmament Saint, I have been waiting for you.”
With that, the Kun King gave a brilliant smile.
He said warmly, “To be honest, I have been good friends with your Master for hundreds of years.
“Sacred Leader Zhang told me that you are the most powerful prodigy the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground has seen over the past 10,000 years. I was very curious about you!
“Now that I have finally met you, you are indeed an exceptional man. If only I had a nephew like you!”
It must be said that this leader had a pretty high EQ.
The Kun King was a mighty Sage and the leader of a powerful race. Nonetheless, he behaved like a kindly uncle toward Shen Tian.
...
Worm your way into someone’s heart by flattering him.
Moreover, it was a “Great Sage” who was flattering you.
The Kun King was really buttering Shen Tian up. If the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had not spoken to him prior to this, Shen Tian would have just handed over the Kun Peng Dao then and there.
After all, Shen Tian’s providence would increase if he returned the Kun Peng Dao.
Shen Tian would still benefit even if he gave back the Kun Peng Dao without asking for anything in return.
However, since the Kun race was willing to give him the Triple Light Divine Water, he would not reject them. It was an extremely valuable item, after all.
Always glad to get a free lunch~
Shen Tian smiled. “Your Highness is too kind. I am not that great.”
The Kun King gazed at Shen Tian with glittering eyes.
“Since you are already here, I will come straight to the point.
“I heard that you comprehended the complete version of the Kun Peng Dao in the Chaotic Star Island domain.
“You must know how important the Kun Peng Dao is to us. On behalf of the entire Kun race, I express my gratitude to you for returning our legacy.
“The Sage-level artifacts and Triple Light Divine Water have already been prepared. I wonder if you can execute a few moves now for me to see?
“After I confirm that your Kun Peng Dao is the complete version, we will gladly hand over the treasures.”
The Kun King was being very forthright.
Kun Yu’s eyes also lit up. She had always heard that the Divine Firmament Saint was the number one most handsome man in Eastern Wilderness. He was also Eastern Wilderness’ most powerful prodigy.
Now that it was clear his looks were no exaggeration, what about his talent and power?
To be honest, Kun Yu was very curious and wanted to test his mettle.
Don’t be mistaken. She wasn’t just looking for an excuse to come into close physical contact with him through sparring. Nope, not at all!
Kun Yu looked at Shen Tian. “I am very interested in the Kun Peng Dao. I wonder if you are willing to spar with me?
“Of course, I will suppress my cultivation level to the Golden Body realm.
“What do you think?”
...
Spar? Fight?
Shen Tian frowned slightly as he returned Kun Yu’s gaze.
Could this Kun woman be trying to exert her authority over me?
Haha, dream on!
Shen Tian smiled and replied calmly, “Actually, you don’t have to suppress your cultivation level.”
At that, Shen Tian gradually unleashed his aura, which grew increasingly overpowering by the minute!
The smiles on Kun Yu and Kun Xu’s faces slowly stiffened.
This... How can this be considered the Golden Body realm!?
