Chapter 1499: Chapter 1472: Farewell
"My provisional choices are Little Lin, Wu Xingtian, Kunpeng, and Fang Tianchi!"
Xiao Yi announced the names he had long decided upon in his heart.
Zhao Wudi was taken aback.
Little Lin.
Although still in slumber healing, Xiao Yi had already administered a sacred healing elixir to him, and he could awaken within days.
Kunpeng and Fang Tianchi both possess king-level power.
As for Wu Xingtian, he is the chief of the Xuan Realm Witch Clan.
This man wields ancient witchcraft, his methods unfathomable, his power alone can rival a king-level master of eight thousand steps on the Great Way. Yet Wu Xingtian is a trusted strongman under Zhao Wudi.
Zhao Wudi did not expect Xiao Yi to include Wu Xingtian among them.
Xiao Yi detected his thoughts, smiled, and said, "Wu Xingtian is very powerful, and their Witch Clan has many methods, with many being exquisite. If he could step into the Saint King Realm, his impact would be no less than a master at the Fifth Layer of the Saint King Realm..."
Witch Clan masters.
Fathomless methods, perhaps combat prowess isn’t their strong suit.
But they have a remarkably powerful impact in many aspects.
For instance, the Gu insects nurtured by the Witch Clan, they are unavoidable, and the witchcraft mastered by a king-level Witch Clan expert can even threaten Saint King Realm masters. If it’s a Saint King Realm expert of the Witch Clan, the effect they can achieve is absolutely considerable.
Zhao Wudi nodded.
Xiao Yi continued, "Little Lin is an Ancient Sky-Devouring Dragon. Once he awakens, I’ll find a way to let him devour the origin powers of the Supreme Yin Demon Beast and the Supreme Yang Demon Beast, then he might not even need our help to step directly into the Saint King Realm. And Kunpeng..."
Zhao Wudi said, "I’m still aware of Kunpeng, he’s one of the Nine Longevity Beasts of the Hall of Longevity from ancient times. His speed is so fast, even a king level at their peak might not be able to catch him..."
Xiao Yi acknowledged with a hum.
Letting Kunpeng step into the Saint King Realm, his speed will undoubtedly see a greater enhancement.
By then, be it for intelligence gathering or information conveying, he’s the most suitable choice.
As for Fang Tianchi.
The Tiance Clan is proficient in the art of calculation, but now he’s restricted by his cultivation, unable to calculate the fate of Saint King Realm masters. But if he also steps into the Saint King Realm, then even the strong in the Saint King Realm, he could calculate somewhat.
For instance, where might the other sealed bodies of the Dead Spirit Palace Master be hidden?
Or when will the Hall of Longevity Master return?
As long as they gain the upper hand.
Their chance of victory will greatly improve.
Seeing Zhao Wudi’s expression, Xiao Yi understood he had no objections to the selection, but still confirmed, "Do you think these four candidates are feasible?"
Zhao Wudi shrugged and said with a smile, "These are the most suitable choices, letting them step into the Saint King Realm first poses no problem. However, since you have such means to let them step into the Saint King Realm, why not take a few more people along?"
Merely increasing four in the Saint King Realm would indeed allow Xiao Yi’s plan to reconstruct the Azure Heaven Continent to be perfectly implemented.
But for the Qingtian Realm, faced with the impending return of the Hall of Longevity and the covetous eight worlds, it might not be decisive!
Xiao Yi shook his head.
He, too, had once had similar thoughts, to take more people to the Unharmed Heaven Realm to help them step into the Saint King Realm.
But...
After several simulations, Xiao Yi still decided to take only four.
The most important reason is that he’s not yet enough to counter the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Tao Pavilion.
Though currently, he and the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Tao Pavilion are allies, and their relationship is very harmonious, who can assure that when the Pavilion Master sees the frequent emergence of Qingtian Realm Saint King Realm experts, he won’t harbor other thoughts?
Never harbor ill intent towards others.
But always be on guard!
Xiao Yi said, "Though I now have a good relationship with the Unharmed Heaven Realm, that place ultimately isn’t our own. If too many step into the Saint King Realm there, it might invite other troubles..."
Zhao Wudi suddenly understood and agreed with Xiao Yi’s view, "You’re right, those who aren’t of our kind are sure to have different hearts. I won’t accompany you to the Unharmed Heaven Realm, during this time I’ll guard the Qingtian Realm, there shouldn’t be any issues. Over there, I’ll leave it to you!"
"It’s what I should do!" Xiao Yi replied.
The next morning.
Xiao Yi stood in the void with Wu Xingtian, Fang Tianchi, Kunpeng, and the slumbering Little Lin, countless strong individuals in the crowd gazed at the four figures, their eyes filled with heat and envy.
After witnessing the power of Saint King Realm masters, who wouldn’t want to step into that realm?
Not to mention the terrifying ability to easily destroy the heavens and the earth.
Merely stepping into the Saint King Realm allows one to live for a million years, which makes many covet.
A million years!
As long as one doesn’t court death, and with some care in upkeep, they might live even longer, it could be said to live as long as heaven and earth.
Zhao Wudi glanced at the desolate Jin Wu Shuo and others, snorting coldly, "What kind of dejected appearance is this? Since the Alliance Hierarch has a way to let them step into the Saint King Realm, your turn will naturally come..."
The crowd’s eyes lit up.
Now Xiao Yi first elevates four to the Saint King Realm, for the reconstruction of the ancient Azure Heaven Continent.
But merely adding four Saints is definitely not enough for the Qingtian Realm.
"Zhao’s Deputy Alliance Hierarch is right; we still have a chance!"
"They’re just one step ahead; we’ll have the chance to catch up..."
"Even the Alliance Hierarch’s wife wasn’t selected, we just have to wait, it will be our turn..."
Amidst the whispering conversations.
Xiao Yi lightly coughed, looking at the now silenced crowd, he said, "During my absence, I entrust the Qingtian Realm to all of you."
"Please rest assured, Alliance Hierarch!"
"Entrust the Qingtian Realm to us, we shall guard it with our lives, and definitely not allow the creatures of the Foreign Domain to step into the Qingtian Realm even half a step!" All strived to leave a deeper impression on Xiao Yi, shouting with all their might.
Xiao Yi nodded in satisfaction, cupping his hands to Zhao Wudi, finally walking over to Fang Qingzhu.
He gently ruffled Fang Qingzhu’s hair.
Xiao Yi tenderly said, "I’m sorry to have to leave again just after returning!"
He felt profound guilt towards Fang Qingzhu.
The promise of a grand wedding kept being interrupted at critical moments by other matters, leading to an unfulfilled vow even now.
"Men have ambitions across the world, go with no worries!"
Fang Qingzhu carefully helped Xiao Yi straighten the creases in his clothes, softly saying, "There won’t be any issues at home with Vice Alliance Hierarch Zhao watching, I’ll wait for your return!"
"Once everything is settled, I will definitely make up for this wedding for us!" Xiao Yi declared.
"Mm!"
Fang Qingzhu nodded with a smile.
Which woman wouldn’t hope for a lively wedding?
But the burden on Xiao Yi’s shoulders was too immense.
She didn’t wish to become another burden for Xiao Yi.
She lightly hugged Fang Qingzhu.
Xiao Yi waved his large hand, taking Kunpeng and others into the Divine King Temple, even though their cultivation was at Saint Sovereign, they couldn’t withstand the chaotic currents of time and space. More crucially, the entrance to the realm passageway leading to the Unharmed Heaven Realm couldn’t be known to anyone.
The orange cat landed at Xiao Yi’s feet.
Golden light flickering, shaking its golden wings, gliding across the void, flying toward the entrance of the realm passageway...
