Chapter 445: Cao Youqian: Tonight, This Holy Son Will Make the Sun and Moon Shine Together
The night was already very deep.
Tonight there was no moon, dark clouds shrouded Mad Lion King City.
Inside Mad Lion King City, it was pitch black and silent.
On the main streets, almost no human figures could be seen, only fireflies-like lanterns swaying in the darkness with the wind.
In the basement of an inn in the King City.
A sly figure slipped into the basement.
As soon as he entered the basement, a hoarse voice came out.
"Is the news that was previously transmitted true?"
That figure: "Reporting to Elder Xiong, the news is true. The Holy Son of Wendao Academy from Xuan Continent and two Great Sages from Giant God Academy have come to participate in this exchange meeting together."
Elder Xiong: "The Holy Son of Wendao Academy, I imagine his bloodline must be extraordinary. You must investigate all his information as quickly as possible."
That figure: "Elder Xiong, this is the Holy Son of Wendao Academy. If something happens to him, wouldn't we have to flee for our lives?"
Elder Xiong said: "The Holy Master is now just short of a supreme bloodline to break through to the saint realm in one go. Once he becomes a saint, our Fire God Cult can eliminate some weak border countries, and we won't have to hide like this in Giant Stone Mountain."
Hearing this, a fanatical expression appeared in that figure's eyes: "Your disciple will go investigate all his information immediately."
"Go."
Elder Xiong watched his disciple's retreating figure and muttered to himself: "What purpose does this Holy Son of Wendao Academy have in coming to the Barren Continent?"
The subordinate beside him said: "Elder, do you think he might be coming after us?"
Bang!
Elder Xiong turned around and tapped his subordinate's head: "What nonsense are you thinking, boy? Although Wendao Academy is strong in Xuan Continent, they can't control our Fire God Cult."
"As for those old fellows at Giant God Academy, they're always thinking about how to awaken ancient divine bloodlines. As long as we don't cause trouble for them, they won't notice us."
"In my opinion, that Holy Son must be here for some secret treasure. If we can capture him, there might be unexpected gains."
"Elder is wise!"
"Elder is truly one of the wise men of our Fire God Cult."
"..."
The cultivators in the basement began to flatter Elder Xiong one after another, making him somewhat smug.
"Rest assured everyone, when the Holy Master becomes a saint, you will all be credited with a great merit!"
The crowd shouted loudly: "We thank you, Elder Xiong!"

Meanwhile, the palace was exceptionally lively.
In the imperial garden, the lights were bright, wine cups were clinking, and there was singing and dancing.
Cao Youqian was someone who could become the center of attention in any situation. After a few drinks, who was already the focus, was now surrounded by admirers like the moon surrounded by stars.
Every cultivator present kept flattering him.
If it weren't for Cao Youqian experiencing countless flatteries over these years, he would probably have long been lost in the shouts of "Holy Son" and "awesome."
"Holy Son, we've heard that Wendao Academy claims to contain all arts of the world, and you are a prodigy among body cultivators. I wonder if today we could be allowed to witness your prowess."
Hearing this, Elder Babao said with displeasure: "What status do you people have to deserve the Holy Son taking action? Let me tell you, the Holy Son is invincible among those of the same realm. As long as no Great Sages appear in this world, no Marquis or King can defeat him."
If someone else had said this, no one would have believed it.
But Elder Babao was famously rigid and stern at Giant God Academy. For him to say this indicated that this Holy Son Cao was truly powerful.
"What a pity."
Mad Lion King said with a regretful expression.
In a place like the Barbarian Continent where strength is respected, everyone naturally reveres and yearns for the strong.
Hearing this, Cao Youqian smiled and said: "Uncle Babao, actually, without having to fight anyone, I can still let everyone witness my strength."
"Oh?"
Elder Babao obligingly showed an expression of curiosity.
The cultivators of Mad Lion Kingdom all cast expectant gazes toward Cao Youqian.
Especially the Mad Lion King, whose expression of regret completely vanished.
Cao Youqian looked up at the sky and said with a faint smile: "Tonight, this Holy Son arrived in this King City yet there is no moon to liven things up. Tell me, isn't the heavens being rather discourteous?"
Hearing this, Elder Babao quickly interjected: "Holy Son, watch your words. The gods watch above, such words cannot be spoken lightly."
Cao Youqian smiled and said: "What is there to fear? The ultimate goal of my body refinement path is to punch the heavens apart with a single fist, to tear open a path to the sky with my own hands. Even if divine punishment were to descend from the heavens now, I would not fear!!!"
Hisss...
The cultivators present subconsciously drew in a cold breath upon hearing this.
No one dared to echo Cao Youqian's words. These cultivators revered nothing more than the Heavenly Dao.
If the Heavenly Dao were displeased, wouldn't adding extra lightning during your tribulation be utterly disastrous?
How could Cao Youqian not see what these people were thinking? He slowly stood up and said: "Everyone, tonight this Holy Son will make the sun and moon shine together in this Mad Lion King City!"
"What?"
"Holy Son, you must be joking!"
"..."
All the cultivators present were dumbfounded, even the two Great Sages, Babao and Xuanjing, were too shocked to utter a single word.
One thought remained in their minds: Holy Son, we know you are arrogant, but isn't this going too far?
Just as everyone was still in a daze, Cao Youqian emanated a divine light.
The moment this divine light appeared, it shot straight toward the heavens like the rising sun.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the divine light dispersed the dark clouds in the sky.
The moon, which had been hiding behind the clouds, also emerged.
At the same time, Cao Youqian's oppressive aura gradually enveloped the entire palace and began to spread throughout the King City.
When his aura reached its peak.
The entire Mad Lion King City was enveloped by his oppressive aura. In the imperial garden, a series of clattering sounds rang out.
Some cultivators who were already somewhat drunk were frightened by this terrifying aura and directly fell beneath their tables.
The Mad Lion King finally understood why the two Great Sages had said that the cultivators in their King City were not worthy of the Holy Son taking action.
Even if all the Marquises and Kings of Mad Lion Kingdom were to attack together, they would not be a match for this man before them.
He quickly said: "Holy Son, please... please withdraw your aura. We are physically weak and cannot bear it!"
Cao Youqian grinned: "Do you all think this Holy Son is the kind of person who goes back on his word?"
As he spoke, a scorching aura emanated from his divine light, gradually transforming into a red sun that flew toward the sky.
The moment this red sun appeared, the darkness in the King City was gradually dispelled.
When the red sun rose into the sky, the King City transformed from night into dawn.
This sudden change terrified all the awake cultivators in the King City, making them tremble in fear.
"What kind of existence has Mad Lion Kingdom provoked?"
"Heaven and earth overturned, is Mad Lion Kingdom doomed to fall?"
"..."
In the inn, the Fire God Cult members hadn't been celebrating for long before they were scared to the ground by that terrifying aura.
"B-B-Bear Elder... such a terrifying existence."
Bear Elder's spiritual sense saw the red sun in the sky and stammered: "Don't speak. I'm afraid too."
Of course, among everyone in the King City, the most shocked were the cultivators in the palace who had witnessed everything with their own eyes.
The Mad Lion King wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered: "Holy Son's true intent is complete and perfect. This king is utterly awed."
"Very well, you have all witnessed enough. Now it's time to drink."
After speaking, Cao Youqian retracted his aura and sat back in his chair as if nothing had happened.
The cultivators responded to him with a deathly silence...
