“That voice just now was… Celestial Lord Qinglan?” Someone said in shock.
“Ha! Celestial Lord Qinglan is a level 9 Quasi-Immortal Emperor-realm powerhouse. What could alarm him?”
“Search for the strongest Divine King? For what?”
“The Penglai celestial race dominates ten higher great worlds and one origin great world. Divine Kings are weaklings among weaklings. We can only go to those low-level worlds to find Divine Kings…”
The countless living beings chattered.
The people of the ten higher great worlds and the origin great world were all extremely confused about Xiao Qinglan’s search for the strongest Divine King.
Despite their bewilderment, they dared not disobey Xiao Qinglan’s order.
In the ten higher great words and the Tiancang Great World, countless powerhouses instantly began to move, frantically searching for the strongest Divine King.
At the same time, Xiao Qinglan’s sudden action alarmed the old monsters of the Penglai celestial race.
The central realm. Penglai Immortal Island.
This was the symbol of the Penglai celestial race and also the Immortal Emperor’s cultivating ground.
Now, the only Immortal Emperor of the Penglai celestial race lived on Penglai Immortal Island.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
When Xiao Qinglan arrived at Penglai Immortal Island and stepped into a grand and ancient immortal palace, powerful figures arrived one after another on celestial light.
These people were all Quasi-Immortal Emperors. The weakest was at level 8 of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.
At a glance, there were no less than a hundred people.
When they arrived at the palace, all of them looked at Xiao Qinglan in surprise.
“Qinglan, why are you looking for a Divine King?”
“It’s probably very difficult to find someone of that realm even in the ten higher great worlds, let alone in the Tiancang Great World, right?”
“Yeah!”
“Qinglan, 1 feel that you have changed a lot after not seeing you for a while. Hmm? Has your cultivation become much more profound?”
“Qinglan, has the forbidden substance been removed from your body?”
Everyone was surprised.
They were all Quasi-Immortal Emperors, so they were extremely sensitive to the changes in Xiao Qinglan’s body.
After not seeing him for a while, Xiao Qinglan’s aura had become purer and stronger.
This was something worth celebrating!
One had to know that Xiao Qinglan had been one step into the Immortal Emperor realm. If he hadn’t encountered a taboo and misfortune while advancing to the Immortal Emperor realm, he would have become the second Immortal Emperor of the Penglai celestial race.
In terms of strength, he was undoubtedly the number one Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
“Qinglan, did you encounter something amazing?” Someone asked eagerly.
Hearing this, Xiao Qinglan nodded.
“You can say that. I went out recently and met a benefactor. The forbidden substance in my body has been eradicated.”
After saying this, he ignored everyone’s shocked gazes and immediately walked to the highest point of the palace.
A moment later, he arrived at the ninth level of the palace.
“Greetings, Celestial Lord. The Immortal Lord is waiting for you inside.”
In front of the palace, a young man who had reached the peak of the Celestial King realm bowed.
“Yuanhao, 1 haven’t seen you for a while, but your cultivation has improved quite a bit. If this continues, you’ll have a chance of becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor in another thousand years,” Xiao Qinglan teased.
“Celestial Lord, you flatter me. It is all thanks to the Immortal Lord’s good fortune. By following the Immortal Lord and listening to the Great Dao at all times, even a cow can become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. I am still a little too weak.”
Xiao Yuanhao replied humbly.
In response, Xiao Qinglan smiled faintly.
“You’ve cultivated for less than ten thousand years, yet you’re already able to reach the peak of the Celestial King realm and have the potential to become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. In the entire Penglai celestial race, there are only a handful of people who can compare to you. Work hard. Strive hard to advance to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor within a thousand years. The opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared.”
Hmm?
Xiao Yuanhao was confused.
He vaguely felt that there was a deeper meaning in Xiao Qinglan’s words, but when he was about to ask more questions, the latter had already disappeared.
When Xiao Qinglan entered the ninth level of the palace, he saw a magnificent great world.
On the other side of the world, a middle-aged man with a refined temperament sat cross-legged. Dao rhythms circulated around him, and immortal light surged behind him.
Long rivers of laws appeared around him, seemingly having come from ancient times.
“Greetings, Immortal Lord!”
Xiao Qinglan looked at the figure on the other side of the world and bowed respectfully.
The other party was the only Immortal Emperor of the Penglai celestial race, Xiao Shoutian.
Eight epochs ago, he reached the Immortal Emperor realm and had since then relied on his powerful strength to protect the Penglai celestial race until now. He was the true stabilizing pillar of the celestial race.
“Qinglan, you’re here!”
Whoosh!
Along with a murmur, a ray of celestial light bloomed from the other side of the world, turning into a great path that spread under Xiao Qinglan’s feet.
Seeing this, Xiao Qinglan took a step forward and arrived in front of Xiao Shoutian in the blink of an eye.
Although the distance between the two of them seemed close, they were worlds apart.
“I heard that you’re looking for the strongest Divine King?”
“Yes. I just came back from the City of Heavens. A junior of the Supreme has encountered a powerful enemy and needs level 10 Divine Kings who can kill Sages. This is a good opportunity to get closer to Young Master Ren and we can’t miss it. The Penglai celestial race isn’t the only one helping him. The Ji family of the Azure Sky Great World and the Mu family of the Xuanhuang Great World will each look for an invincible Divine King.”
“Within a thousand years, the Imperial Lord will die and the destiny will reappear in the world. I feel that the Supreme wants Young Master Ren to participate in the great tribulation. As long as we maintain a good relationship with him, we’ll be able to be bound with the Supreme. With the protection of the Supreme, even if the Penglai celestial race only has one Immortal Emperor, we can still fight for destiny this time,” Xiao Qinglan pondered and said.
“I see. According to what you said, the Supreme must be far above the Immortal Emperor realm and has attained eternity. That has already surpassed the scope of our understanding. We must listen to his words. I’ll rely on you to maintain the relationship with the City of Heavens. If there’s a need, the Penglai celestial race will fully support it. In addition, now that the forbidden substance in your body has been eradicated, are you confident to advance to the Immortal Emperor realm within a thousand years?”
Xiao Shoutian’s illusory voice came from the other side of the world.
Hearing this, Xiao Qinglan shook his head.
“A thousand years might be a little difficult, but it’s not entirely impossible…” He sighed.
After all, he had stepped into the Immortal Emperor realm before. Compared to other Half-step Immortal Emperor powerhouses, he had a huge advantage.
Whoosh!
Just as Xiao Qinglan was sighing, a bright beam of celestial light suddenly cut through the void and turned into a jade box, landing in front of him.
“There is a chaos celestial root inside. I found it in the origin of the cosmic’s desolate three epochs ago. With its help, you might have a 50% chance of becoming an Immortal Emperor within a thousand years. If the Penglai celestial race has another Immortal Emperor, we will be more confident in the cosmic situation and the upcoming calamity. Therefore, you have a great responsibility.”
Although Xiao Shoutian’s voice was soft, it made Xiao Qinglan feel pressured.
Under the great calamity, all living beings were like ants.
In fact, even Immortal Emperors might not be able to protect themselves.
Whether it was for himself or the entire Penglai celestial race, an additional Immortal Emperor had incomparably great significance.
Xiao Qinglan knew this very well.
“I’ll do my best.”
He did not have much confidence in becoming an Immortal Emperor in one fell swoop.
“Since you’ve obtained the initiative from the City of Heavens, the Penglai celestial race must also make arrangements and preparations in advance. Next…”
Xiao Shoutian’s ethereal voice came from the other side of the world and echoed in Xiao Qinglan’s soul.
Soon after, the two of them began to discuss the various arrangements of the Penglai celestial race.
While they were discussing, Xiao Baiyi arrived at a low-level great world..
