Chapter 557: 310 Rise

The Peak Master of Azure Dragon Peak did not speak, his brow suddenly revealing a vertical eye.

This was the opening of the Dharma Eye!

The Dharma Eye was a deep azure color, its brilliance dazzling, much like the stars.

In the next instant, a faint azure light burst forth from the Dharma Eye, shining upon Fang Zhixing.

Fang Zhixing did not act rashly, allowing the Dharma Eye to inspect him.

...

...

Chiming City • Royal Mansion!

Zheng Bishou hurriedly fled from the Five Elements Sect, but did not immediately return to Da Xuan Sect, instead heading straight for the Royal Mansion to seek an audience with the Princess Consort.

It was well known that the Princess Consort of Chiming, Zheng Changxiu, enjoyed stargazing.

For this reason, the King of Chiming had constructed a majestic Star-picking Tower, nine layers high, just for her.

Zheng Bishou rushed to the Star-picking Tower in a panic.

Unfortunately, the Princess Consort was engaged in burning incense and bathing, and could not meet him immediately.

Zheng Bishou could only pace back and forth in anxiety, waiting for over two hours before he was finally summoned.

"Meeting the Princess Consort..."

Zheng Bishou bowed, displaying respect, though his actions were somewhat casual and perfunctory.

The Princess Consort sat behind a beaded curtain, giving only a vague silhouette.

But this shadow seemed to carry a thousand charms, inadvertently stirring the imagination.

"Uncle, what is the matter, why such haste?"

The Princess Consort responded slowly.

Her delicate voice wrapped around the listeners’ ears, gentle and melodious, plucking at heartstrings.

Zheng Bishou took a deep breath and began to explain.

"Just like that, An Baopu killed Ma Chengyun right under my watch..."

Hearing this, the Princess Consort fell silent for a moment, gently rubbing her hands as if digesting the information.

After a long while, she exclaimed in astonishment, "Ma Chengyun has been at the Yang Divine Realm for over a hundred years, right? He’s battle-hardened, how did he capsize in the gutter?"

Zheng Bishou declared gravely, "It can only be said that An Baopu is simply too malicious. He holds an Upper Grade Fifth Level Treasure Saber, enfolding formidable Thunder might, yet he kept it hidden, feigning weakness to allure, until Ma Chengyun showed a flaw, then struck fatally with one strike!"

"You could say, Ma Chengyun was killed underhandedly."

"If we had known from the start that An Baopu had an Upper Grade Fifth Level Treasure Saber, we wouldn’t have fought him at all."

Zheng Bishou explained, rather frustrated.

"Upper Grade Fifth Level?!"

The Princess Consort was visibly moved.

Even she, as a princess consort, possessed only a Low Grade Fifth Level weapon.

What is An Baopu, and why does he possess such a treasure?

A common man is blameless; possessing jade becomes his crime!

"Who exactly is this person?"

Zheng Changxiu pondered gravely, "I see now, no matter who An Baopu is, uncovering his full story is merely a matter of time."

Zheng Bishou nodded repeatedly.

This was also his purpose for reporting to the princess consort first-hand, hoping to achieve his goal.

Da Xuan Sect had been humiliated this time, having suffered a great loss, and it was not wise to provoke the Five Elements Sect further.

Only by asking the Princess Consort to take action was there hope of avenging their grievances.

And investigating An Baopu’s details was the first step towards revenge!

...

...

The Peak Master of Azure Dragon slowly retracted the Dharma Eye.

After a moment, he spoke, "An Baopu, will you inform this seat of your true origins?"

Fang Zhixing pondered briefly, vaguely saying, "Blood on my hands, mud on my feet."

Having said this!

The Peak Master of Azure Dragon fell silent for a moment, seemingly understanding something, and slowly said, "With today’s battle making your name well-known, where do you plan to go from here?"

Fang Zhixing spread his hands, "To tell the truth, I just want to engage in a small business to gather some resources for cultivation.

I intentionally created an identity as an outer disciple of the Five Elements Sect, thinking it would be cool to shelter under a big tree.

Only, I didn’t expect that apparently, this identity wasn’t as useful as this level of power."

The Peak Master of Azure Dragon chuckled, "It seems you’ve also noticed the problem.

Concealing one’s light and biding one’s time, keeping a low profile, is only suitable for playing at lower stages.

At higher stages, every movement stirs up a storm, and nobody can hide.

Since hiding is not an option, let us all put our cards on the table and play openly."

Fang Zhixing raised an eyebrow, "Above the Hundred Cows Realm, isn’t there a higher realm known as the Thousand Armies Realm?"

The Peak Master of Azure Dragon laughed, "Secular world’s stream, standing one’s ground is already full of hardship, fighting alone against a thousand enemies might be harder than reaching the heavens."

Fang Zhixing fell into contemplation.

The Peak Master of Azure Dragon fell silent for a moment, seriously saying, "If you want resources for cultivation, my Five Elements Sect can satisfy any of your needs."

Fang Zhixing interjected, "If I wanted to join a sect, I wouldn’t have waited till now."

The Peak Master of Azure Dragon laughed heartily, "Joining the fray secures half the victory.

From the moment you killed Ma Chengyun, whether you are in the Five Elements Sect or not, you are already one of us.

You could easily walk away, but the Five Elements Sect cannot afford to not acknowledge you."

Indeed...

Fang Zhixing smiled, "In that case, how do you plan to arrange for me?"

The Peak Master of Azure Dragon countered, "Answer me, do you harbor ill will or hostility toward my Five Elements Sect?"

Fang Zhixing spoke earnestly, "Never have."

"Good!"

The Peak Master of Azure Dragon, invigorated, announced, "From this moment forward, you are a Guest Elder of my Five Elements Sect, enjoying the status of the chief Elder of Azure Dragon Peak."

Then, he added, "If you have any other requests, just ask, and this seat will do its utmost to satisfy them."

Fang Zhixing spoke directly, "I want a Yin Yang Fruit of the Five Elements, and it would also be good if you could help me find some Netherworld Muddy Water. Additionally, my sister, Jun Yao, I hope the Peak Master can take her as a disciple."

The Peak Master of Azure Dragon pondered, "The matter of Jun Yao, I can agree to. Netherworld Muddy Water is also no problem, it’s just the Yin Yang Fruit of the Five Elements, I need to consult the Sect Master."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhixing knew there was hope, immediately asking, "What does the Five Elements Sect need me to do?"
