The Infinite Mystery

Chapter 143 - Xu Shang

_Eternal World, Sky Palace_

The Eternal World was named "Eternal" rumor has it that the first God ever was born in this world.

Sky Palace was one of the largest power of the Eternal World.

Currently, inside the Sky Palace, Gods were discussing something when the sky suddenly darkened, darkening the entire Eternal World, and then the Eternal World was lightened up by the Golden Lightning that started rumbling in the sky, causing a huge commotion to stir up inside the entire Eternal World.

Deep within the Sky Palace, an old man was cultivating with his closed eyes but the moment Golden Lightning started rumbling, he opened his eyes and disappeared from the place he was sitting before appearing inside at the place where Gods were discussing something amongst them just a few moments ago.

The commotion in the sky and the change of the world caused them to stop discussing and they started to look at the sky from the windows and other open areas from the Sky Palace before suddenly, their legs weakened and they kneeled down on the ground with their head low.

"Ancestor Eternal!"

All the Gods immediately bowed down after seeing the old man suddenly appearing.

The old man didn't respond to them and kept staring at the sky. He also felt two large golden eyes staring at him.

"KING!"

The old man exclaimed, causing a look of shock to appear on other Gods' faces. They turned their heads and looked at the old man.

One of those Gods said, "KING? Ancestor, isn't KING already dead?"

The old man kept looking at the two large golden eyes in the sky before taking a deep breath and then he said, "KING is a Legend, and Legend never die!"

The old man again took a deep breath and this time, he looked at the God who asked the previous question and said, "KING's death was never confirmed. He just suddenly disappeared from the surface of the Universe. No one knows where he went and what he was doing all this while. Now that he is back, the Universe is announcing his return."

"Universe is announcing KING's return? Are you saying that the same situation as the Eternal World is in every corner of the Universe?" Another God asked.

The old man nodded his head and said, "Yes, the same situation is every corner of the Universe. The entire Universe is currently swallowed in darkness and Golden Lightning which is also the sign of KING's return is roaring at every single world of the Universe."

"I'll give you a piece of advice now. Stop whatever trouble you all are planning to cause. Now that KING has returned, you all should stay low-key. Also, send some people to search for KING's whereabouts!"

"We will do as the Ancestor said!" Other Gods saluted by bowing and agreed with the old man.

Just as the old man said, the entire Universe was fallen in darkness and Golden Lightning was rumbling in every single world. The Universe itself was announcing the KING's return.

Many powerful people from every corner of the Universe who knew what these Golden Lightning in the sky means, started to send their people to every corner of the Universe to search for the whereabouts of the KING.

And at this moment, KING, who caused all of this, was looking at the sky with its head high and after a while, it retracted back inside Qin Feng's body.

Qin Feng and the Mysterious Lady whose real name was Ye Zhiqui who was also from the Dark Angel race, both of them were still staring at the sky, and only when the dark cloud dissipated did they retracted their gazes and looked at each other.

"What just happened?" Qin Feng asked while looking directly into the eyes of Ye Zhiqui who was also looking at him.

"Sigh!"

Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhiqui again looked at the sky and said, "The Universe... It just announced your return to its every corner or should I say, both you and your Martial Spirit's return!"

"What?" Qin Feng exclaimed.

"Even if I'll explain, you'll not understand anything. You should go back now!" Ye Zhiqui said before disappearing.

Qin Feng wanted to say something but before he could ask, he saw the Mysterious Lady disappearing. He failed to ask. Since there was no need for him to stay here, he entered the Mysterious Space of the Infinity Symbol, and using the humongous door, he returned back to earth.

.....

Inside the castle, Ye Zhiqui was sitting on her throne and two beautiful ladies who were also her two disciples were standing at the right and left side of her.

"Little Shang!"

"Master?"

"Go and prepare yourself. I'll send you to the world where Qin Feng is currently staying. Your job is to keep an eye on him and protect him from the dark, ok?"

Ye Zhiqui looked at her disciple Xu Shang who was also the beautiful lady whom Qin Feng had seen with Ye Zhiqui inside the garden that was almost fully destroyed now.

Xu Shang frowned her brows but didn't say anything. She nodded her head and obediently agreed with her master.

Ye Zhiqui said, "Don't worry, with your current cultivation base, it will take you at least another five hundred years to make another breakthrough. And according to my calculation, It will only take about ten to twenty years for Qin Feng to reach the peak of the Forbidden Zone."

"The Law inside the Forbidden Zone is broken so don't cultivate there. You are already half-step into the False God Realm. Take these Divine Stones and use them to absorb the Divine Energy when needed. If you try to cultivate inside the Forbidden Zone, the Forbidden Zone will expel you outside because although broken, but the Forbidden Zone is now an independent Universe. It will not allow any outside powers to cultivate inside and will expel you out!"

"Yes master, I understand!" Xu Shang nodded her head and said. She never doubted her master's words because her master has never been wrong in the first place.

At first, when she heard her master telling her to go to the world where Qin Feng is and protect him from the dark, she wanted to tell her master not to send her there but after hearing that it will only take Qin Feng about ten to twenty years to become the strongest person inside the Forbidden Zone, she immediately agreed.

For someone like her, let alone twenty years, even a hundred years was nothing much.

What was more, it was the first time her master has given her permission to go outside the Castle and Garden. She didn't want to waste this opportunity by not accepting her master's orders.

Thinking of something, Xu Shang said, "Master, isn't this will be better if I directly appear in front of Qin Feng and live with him. This way, I can protect him more thoroughly."

"There is no need for you to do that. If by chance, Qin Feng saw you, then you can show up in front of him otherwise, stay hidden!"

Saying this, she waved her hand and a butterfly mark appeared on the back of Xu Shang's right hand, exactly at the same place where Qin Feng had the Infinity Symbol. Then she said, "If Qin Feng returned to the Profound Star "Continent, you should use the Butterfly Mark on your hand to go to that continent as well. With your strength, it'll not take you a single second to find out where he is!"

"Yes, master!" Xu Shang pouted and replied. Then she excused herself to say goodbyes to her senior sisters and friends.

"Master, I don't think Little Shang could do her job well while hidden. You know her, right, she is too mischievous. It will not be long before she'll reveal herself in front of Qin Feng." Another beautiful lady who was also the third disciple of Ye Zhiqui frowned and said.

"I know that!" Ye Zhiqui smiled and replied. She again said, "This is also why I send her to protect Qin Feng. Although her cultivation base is such high, she has never experienced a fight. She has never faced any danger, mainly the danger of death. And Qin Feng, as much as I know about him, even if he don't want to, trouble and danger will come to him with their hands wide open to hug him."

"Even if she'll reveal herself in front of Qin Feng, she still has to do the task I have given her. So, she will continue to face the same danger that Qin Feng will face. Although those kinds of dangers will be nothing to her, it'll still let her experience the cruelty of the world and the universe slowly."

"And with that Infinity Symbol on his right hand, I believe Qin Feng's strength will increase with an astounding speed. So the danger he will face in the future could even put a False God to put up their entire strength in order to deal with that danger. This kind of danger will be the ones truly meant for Little Shang."

The beautiful lady that asked this question nodded her head, indicating that she understood the purpose of her master sending Xu Shang to protect Qin Feng.. Her master wanted to not only protect Qin Feng from extreme danger, but she also wanted to train Xu Shang at the same time.
