Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Jade Emperor

In the Spirit Pagoda, a middle-aged sat at a desk reading tales of this very intriguing event that had occurred several days prior.

He had very handsome features, with a high nose bridge and slightly small eyes. He emanated an imposing aura, showing the strength that he had.

This person was Qiangu Dongfeng, the current Spirit Pagoda's Head.

At the side, another handsome young man stood there as he awaited for Qiangu Dongfeng to finish reading.

He was tall and handsome with golden hair. He had a gentle appearance which complimented well with a tinge of elegance.

This person was Qiangu Zhangting, Qiangu Dongfeng's grandson.

At this moment, Qiangu Dongfeng put down the sheet of paper before a sigh emerged from his lips.

"Grandfather, what's wrong?"

Qiangu Dongfeng looked towards his grandson who had almost reached the stage of Titled Douluo.

"Our acquaintances in Nox have been wiped out completely."

"What? How grandfather?! They hold the rank of priests in Nox and are all strong in their own right! Even the Bishops would think twice before eliminating a—"

"Their King came…"

Qiangu Zhangting stopped.

"Apparently, he was at a level where even the Bishops were injured just from looking at him..."

At those words, Qiangu Dongfeng's face seemed to age several years in an instant.

A look of surprise appeared on his grandson's face.

"But that's impossible grandfather! That's not possible even for someone like Yun Ming!"

Qiangu Dongfeng's expression darkened when he heard those words before he opened his mouth to speak once more.

"It may be a being who has truly surpassed the threshold…"

Qiangu Zhangting paused for a while as the sheer implications of his grandfather's words sinked into his mind.

"A G-God?"

A nod was the reply that Qiangu Zhangting received.

"But that's impossible right? You said that there's no way that one could connect to the Divine Realm to become a God anymore!"

Another sigh erupted from Qiangu Dongfeng's lips.

"I know, and I don't really believe that it's a God myself. However, I'll definitely prepare myself for the worst just in case."

"Zhangting!"

"Yes grandfather?"

"The world is getting more and more dangerous nowadays. I truly hope that you can reach the level of a Titled Douluo quickly so you can protect yourself."

"In the future, I hope that you can quickly marry and have a fat boy for me to carry."

Complex emotions appeared on Qiangu Zhangting's face as he heard it.

"Grandather, why are you suddenly talking about this?"

Qiangu Dongfeng merely let out a wry smile, "I just have a bad premonition about the future… so please, just promise me."

Qiangu Zhangting kept silent for a few moments, staring at his grandfather.

It was only after a while that he had decided to speak.

"Grandfather, I promise. I'll definitely get Gu Yue to marry me."

Hearing this, Qiangu Dongfeng's smile became more genuine.

"Ah, Yaozhu's disciple. She's a very good choice. I approve of her…"

Qiangu Dongfeng was naturally very satisfied with his son's choice.

His grandson was bound to be a dragon amongst men in the future, and who else other than a phoenix like Gu Yue with her splendid beauty could match him?

"Grandfather, what is the name of the King of Nox anyways? I think I saw something in one of your files that stated that he had a title of sorts?"

Qiangu Dongfeng raised an eyebrow but relented to his grandson's question.

"The name of their King? Well, it's one that spawned from the jade light that he had used during his execution of our acquaintances in Nox."

"The Jade Emperor"

The same person that was being talked about at the moment was currently sitting in a lotus position in a bed.

Countless streams of faith energy in the surroundings entered Huang Yu's body as his cultivation rose like a rocket.

When a loud boom resounded through Huang Yu's ears, he let out a deep breath before he opened his eyes.

"You've broken through?"

Gu Yue's melodious voice entered his ears as her hands wrapped around him from the back.

A pair of soft mounds pressed onto his back whilst her hot breath tickled his ears.

"Yeah. I've managed to reach Rank 50 now."

Huang Yu had obtained many gains after his battle against the Dragon God.

One of them was the fact that he had managed to comprehend many laws during their battle.

During their battle, he had been constantly analysing the laws being used while trying to comprehend them.

Right now, he wouldn't say to be superior to the Dragon God in elemental control, but he was definitely a force to be reckoned with in it.

And since Huang Yu's conversion of his cultivation base was reliant on comprehending laws, this rocketed his conversion to Rank 49 immediately.

It merely took a bit more absorption of energy before he broke through to Rank 50.

Another one of Huang Yu's gains was the slamming of open gates in his head, giving his King's Wisdom another power.

To his surprise, it didn't completely incapacitate him from the influx of knowledge.

His cultivation manual had allowed him to sublimate the comprehension with exceeding ease.

As for which fundamental force that he had gained…

Well, that was a secret for now.

He turned around before his hands stretched out and hugged Gu Yue by the waist. He pulled her onto his ŀȧp before he lowered his head for a deep kiss.

Gu Yue was surprised at his sudden actions but she didn't fight it.

It was only after a few minutes and when they were hot and sweaty did they finally break apart their connecting lips.

With a flushed look on her face, Gu Yue whispered out, "Why the sudden action?"

Huang Yu laughed.

"Just felt like it."

Hearing this, Gu Yue had a look of exasperation on her face before she rolled her eyes.

Nonetheless, there was a smile on her face.

At this moment, there were no more secrets between them.

It just made her feel so liberated to be with him like this.

In a beautiful hallway, a breathtaking young girl was rushing through it.

She had incredibly exquisite features, making her easily one of the most alluring sights that one would ever see.

Her hair was crimson red, having hints of silver at the tips. Her large eyes shared the colour of her hair as it was a beautiful shade of red..

When the girl arrived at a giant door guarded by two soldiers decked out in pure golden armour, she stopped.

"Greetings to the Imperial Princess."

The girl merely gave a nod in return before the two soldiers opened the door for her to enter.

The room looked entirely spectacular, having been decorated with gems of all kinds. They gave off a bright ŀustre, giving the room an ethereal feel.

In the middle of the room however, was a giant crystal coffin.

If any God were to see this coffin right now, they would definitely be struck with great greed.

This coffin was easily equal to an Ultra-Divine Tool, containing limitless divine power and incomprehensible laws.

Nonetheless, this girl who had just entered the room didn't do that despite her own Godly heritage.

Instead, a look of sorrow entered her eyes as she approached this giant crystal coffin.

In front of the coffin, the girl suddenly dropped to her knees.

A melodious voice emerged from her throat. However, there seemed to be a sadness and hesitance to it as she spoke.

"Imperial Mother…"

The girl paused, not knowing how to continue.

She pondered briefly about it for a few moments before she let out a deep breath, her eyes fogging up slightly.

"Imperial Father… his Robe and his Cane are gone…"

"The entire Heavenly Realm is in chaos trying to find out where it went, but no one can find out its location…"

A tear slid down the face of the beautiful girl.

"But Imperial Mother, since you said that you have found Imperial Father…"

"And with his Robe and Cane disappearing…"

"Does this mean that he has finally returned?"

As the girl continued to speak, before she knew it, her entire face was already drenched with her tears.

Unfortunately for her, she did not receive a reply despite her tears.

"Imperial Mother, please!"

"Answer me!"

"I just want our family to be whole again!"

The girl continued to kneel there as she awaited an answer.

However, no matter how long she waited, she didn't receive any.

The girl gritted her teeth before she wiped her tears.

With both hands, she pushed herself back up to her feet before she was about to walk off.

Nonetheless, she still took a quick glance towards the coffin, innumerable emotions contained in her eyes before she finally left this room.

When the pair of giant doors to the room finally closed, the room remained silent as it was before.

However, there was one big difference.

Within the coffin, a pair of amethyst eyes opened up.
