Chapter 1497: Chapter 1470: I’m Not as Good as You!
Outland battlefield.
Azure Dragon Fortress.
Xiao Yi and his companions are gathered here.
Currently, the Southern State has become a Life Forbidden Zone, where all beings, from the Human Race to various demonic beasts, and even the grass and trees, have turned to ashes in the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Sacrifice Altar Formation.
And with the battle between Xiao Yi and Zhao Wudi,
the Southern State has been shattered, almost sinking into the endless ocean.
Thus, Xiao Yi and his companions can no longer remain in the Southern State.
At this moment,
in the sky fortress of the Azure Dragon Fortress,
Xiao Yi and Zhao Wudi are sitting upright on two golden thrones, as they are the only two Saint King Realm experts in the Qingtian Realm, which naturally reveres them.
However,
from Xiao Yi sitting on the left throne, it is clear that he is leading this time.
Even Zhao Wudi has no complaints.
In all honesty,
if he hadn’t secretly activated the full power of the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Sacrifice Altar Formation, the beings of the Southern State might not have perished entirely.
Even though he was dominated by the Heart Demon at that time and did these things,
everyone has not fully come to terms with it.
Zhao Wudi is naturally aware of this, so after agreeing to fight alongside Xiao Yi and protect the Qingtian Realm, he proactively made a request.
That is, after Xiao Yi reconstructs the Ancient Azure Sky Continent, Zhao Wudi will take the ancient Eight Clans’ experts to guard the outland battlefield.
After all,
with the coordinate pieces of Master Mingyue’s Primordial Spirit falling into the Chaotic Void, the location of the Qingtian Realm could be exposed at any time.
The Hall of Longevity and the powerhouses from the other eight worlds could descend at any time.
And their first stop upon descending to the Qingtian Realm will certainly be the outland battlefield.
Having him responsible for guarding the outland battlefield,
is indeed most suitable.
Xiao Yi is naturally pleased with this.
In the grand hall,
Fang Qingzhu sits on the side. Although she is Xiao Yi’s wife, in such a setting, as someone of merely the Sacred Venerate Realm, she is not yet worthy of having her own throne.
Figures like Fang Ru, Fang Tianchi, Fang Tianmiao, Buddha, Mother Buddha, the Bai Fa Sword Emperor, and Jin Wu Shuo from the Mysterious Realm also have their seats.
Arranged on the left and right sides of Xiao Yi and Zhao Wudi.
The atmosphere in the grand hall is not oppressive.
Yet no one speaks, not even breathing heavily, silently staring at the two sitting regally on the golden thrones.
Zhao Wudi said, "Brother Xiao, you mentioned before that to reconstruct the Ancient Azure Sky Continent, more preparations are needed. But today you summoned us; does this mean you are fully prepared?"
Half a month has passed since the battle of the Southern State.
In this half month,
the entire Qingtian Realm’s powerhouses have been in a state of recuperation.
After all,
the previous battle was too exhausting.
Even the experts of the Azure Sky Alliance were all injured, and if not for Xiao Yi’s timely appearance, perhaps today, only one-third of those present here would be as safe and unharmed.
Or even fewer!
Xiao Yi shook his head: "Reconstructing the Azure Heaven Continent is not that easy. Over the past half month, I have been researching the specific implementation methods, and after more than ten thousand simulations, I have finally determined the most suitable plan. But to carry out this plan, I would need at least five Saint King Realm experts to cooperate with me..."
"Five Saint King Realm experts to assist you? Counting myself, that means we still need four more Saint King Realm individuals; where do we find four Saint Kings..." Zhao Wudi said helplessly.
He is very aware of the Qingtian Realm’s shortcomings.
The Heavenly Dao is incomplete.
It’s extremely difficult to step into the Sacred Venerate, let alone reach the Saint King Realm.
Even as the chieftain of the Martial Clan, inheriting Martial God Zhao Wuji’s excellent genes, before the Hall of Longevity was destroyed, he only reached the Sacred Venerate Realm, and only by obtaining the corpses of the Supreme Yang Demon Beast and the Supreme Yin Demon Beast did he successfully reach the Saint King Realm.
To find another four Saint King Realm experts and accomplish such a feat, it would require trustworthy individuals.
Where would one find them?
Fang Qingzhu and others also showed a look of gloom.
If it were only the Sacred Venerate Realm, even the peak of the king-level, with Xiao Yi and Zhao Wudi’s current cultivation and strength, they would find a way to help them reach it.
But the Saint King Realm...
This does not only require resources and talent but also requires the right timing, geographical and human factors, nothing can be missed!
Otherwise,
even in the vast Unharmed Heaven Realm, strong as the Heavenly Tao Pavilion, God Slayer Sect, Feather Transformation Sect, and Supreme Sect, each faction has only a few Saint King Realm experts.
Xiao Yi indeed obtained many resources in the Unharmed Heaven Realm, but simply relying on these resources to create a Saint King Realm expert is extremely difficult.
Let alone four!
Zhao Wudi looked at Xiao Yi, smiling silently, and frowned slightly, suddenly a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.
He looked at Xiao Yi with burning eyes.
In today’s Qingtian Realm, wanting to break through to the Saint King Realm is indeed impossible, but what about Xiao Yi? When they met in the Mysterious Realm over a year ago, Xiao Yi was not a Saint King Realm expert yet!
How did he break through?
Zhao Wudi felt his breathing become rapid, remembering something he’d previously overlooked suddenly made his scalp tingle: "Xiao Yi, do you, do you have the means to help someone enter the Saint King Realm?"
Buzz!
As soon as these words were out, everyone tensed.
Gaze scorching as they stared at Xiao Yi.
Their eyes were filled with shock, uncertainty, and a deep sense of anticipation.
Xiao Yi glanced at everyone.
The less he spoke,
the more intense the anticipation in everyone’s eyes became.
After a moment,
under everyone’s gaze, Xiao Yi slowly opened his mouth: "You’re right, I do have a way to break through to the Saint King Realm."
Gasp!
The sound of sharp inhaling echoed throughout the hall.
Gulp!
Fang Tianchi swallowed hard, eyes burning: "Xiao, Xiao Hierarch, is what you say true?"
"Is there really a way to help someone reach the Saint King?"
"Can we also?"
As soon as Jin Wu Shuo finished speaking, he instinctively shut his mouth, showing a bitter smile of self-mockery.
The other Mysterious Realm experts also smiled bitterly.
After all,
to them,
they are outsiders compared to Fang Ru, Bai Fa Sword Emperor, and others who have always followed Xiao Yi; they are not as close to Xiao Yi as the Azure Sky Alliance’s powerhouses.
Xiao Yi took in the changes in everyone’s expressions and slightly shook his head, smiling: "Whether they are of the Azure Sky Alliance or people from the Mysterious Realm, if they want to strive to protect the Qingtian Realm, then they are one of us!"
"Brother Xiao, you..."
This time, even Zhao Wudi was so shocked he couldn’t speak.
His thoughts were the same as Jin Wu Shuo and others, believing that even if Xiao Yi truly had a way for people to enter the Saint King Realm, he would surely take care of the Azure Sky Alliance’s experts first.
After all.
In his place,
if he possessed such means, he would definitely first arm his direct subordinates and trusted confidants.
Zhao Wudi gazed at Xiao Yi, and after a moment he slowly rose. Tidying his clothes, he respectfully bowed to Xiao Yi and solemnly said, "Brother Xiao, I, Zhao Wudi, am in awe of you. From the bottom of my heart, sincerely, I am convinced; I am not as good as you..."
