Chapter 860: Chapter 384: The Descent of the Heavenly Silence Palace (Part 2)
…
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, more than three hundred years had gone by.
On this day, Lin Qing emerged from seclusion.
“Mr. Lin Qing came out so quickly?”
Marquis Star Refining couldn’t help but smile and say, “It seems he’s already digested the last battle spoils? Lin Qing’s Chaos creature avatar should be at the late immature phase by now, right?”
After killing Marquis Jue Yuan, Marquis Zangliu, and two Black Robed Saints last time, over ninety percent of the spoils fell to Lin Qing.
According to his estimation, even for the precious spiritual chaos creatures, this immense fortune was enough to cultivate Lin Qing’s chaos creature avatar to the late immature phase.
“Pretty much,” Lin Qing also smiled.
“Then I can rest assured.”
Marquis Star Refining also showed a slight relief, “Mr. Lin Qing, with that formidable ‘Illusion World Extinction’ in conjunction with a stronger spiritual will, the suppression power must be even stronger.”
At this moment, the Swallowing Flame Python, transformed into a small red snake, emerged from Marquis Star Refining’s sleeve, shook its little head: “If that’s the case, maybe even against a common Eternal Peak powerhouse, we can fight, good, good.”
It inherently had the strength close to an Eternal Peak powerhouse, and naturally had the confidence to battle if it faced an Eternal Peak powerhouse who could only exert a portion of their power.
“We still need to be cautious.”
Marquis Star Refining’s face was also more relaxed, but still cautiously said: “While facing a regular Eternal Peak powerhouse, we have some confidence, but encountering those truly formidable Eternal Peak powerhouses would be troublesome.”
“It shouldn’t be that way,” the Swallowing Flame Python muttered: “Such powerhouses were the mainstay even during the Divine Country wars, how could they act in a small state domain war?”
“Even so, who knows?”
Marquis Star Refining shook his head, looked at Lin Qing, and said, “Mr. Lin Qing, aren’t you continuing your seclusion and cultivation? The Divine Country war is imminent, it would be safer to achieve Eternity sooner, wouldn’t it?”
Lin Qing smiled slightly and said, “Just found out that several honored guests would be coming to the Marquis today, so I just came to have a look.”
“Honored guests?”
Marquis Star Refining knew that Lin Qing cultivated Future Rules and had an eternal-level chaos creature, and could even foresee futures involving Eternal powerhouses.
Suddenly—
“Is Marquis Star Refining present? I am the Heavenly Silence Palace Master, personally appointed by Emperor Ice to set a patrol order, why have you not yet greeted us with speed?”
A calm female voice transmitted through layers of space-time, and the Holy Star Origin and the space-time means arranged by Marquis Star Refining couldn’t obstruct it at all!
Marquis Star Refining also had a solemn expression, immediately looked up, eyes piercing through space-time, and saw countless flying palace formations outside the Star Refining Holy Star, couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Those countless palaces, larger than stars, floated in the void outside the Holy Star, resembling a sky full of stars, surrounding the central area with a thousand palaces that were thousands of times larger.
And at the center was a majestic temple towering billions of kilometers high!
That majestic temple was clearly a terrifying eternal treasure in form, its mere aura spread across the endless starry sky, making space-time revolve around it as the center.
Compared to the trillion-mile diameter Star Refining Holy Star, that majestic temple seemed a size smaller, but Marquis Star Refining had no doubt—
Were the Star Refining Holy Star to collide with this majestic temple, the final result might just be the Star Refining Holy Star shattering!
Even saints have limits, under the full might battle of Eternal Peak powerhouses, it is possible to destroy a holy star; even if a holy star has self-repair abilities, it would still take over a hundred million years.
And this eternal treasure in the form of a majestic temple obviously possesses the ability to destroy a holy star!
“Heavenly Silence Palace?”
Marquis Star Refining muttered: “Why would the Heavenly Silence Palace come here?”
The Heavenly Silence Palace is known as the strongest combat force under the Ice Emperor of the Ice Seal Empire, not only with tens of millions of elite high-level chaos creature soldiers but also thousands of eternal existences serving as sub-palace masters!
And the Heavenly Silence Palace Master is an Eternal Peak powerhouse!
Even in the various countries of the King Realm, the Heavenly Silence Palace is quite renowned and intimidating.
Such a large force personally arriving at his small Star Refining Holy Star?
Meanwhile, Lin Qing was quietly watching on the side, with layers of future reflections faintly appearing in the depths of his eyes, then he murmured to himself: “So that’s it, this must be something engineered by Master instructing the Ice Emperor…”
“Mr. Lin Qing.”
Marquis Star Refining couldn’t help but look at Lin Qing, “Is this Heavenly Silence Palace here for you?”
“Partially because of me.” Lin Qing said calmly, “Marquis, don’t worry, it’s a good thing.”
“That’s good.” Marquis Star Refining breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, “Mr. Lin Qing, would you like to accompany me to meet the Heavenly Silence Palace Master?”
Lin Qing thought for a moment and nodded slightly, “Alright.”
In fact, as a direct disciple of His Majesty Guang Wang, even if the Ice Emperor himself from the Ice Seal Empire came, he wouldn’t need to go out to greet him. It should be the Ice Emperor coming to visit him!
Not to mention just the Heavenly Silence Palace Master.
However…
His master wanted him to temporarily hide this news and pretend to be a high-level chaotic creature, so he naturally didn’t need to put on any airs.
An uninitiated high-level chaotic creature going to greet the lofty Heavenly Silence Palace Master, that was the norm.
Immediately, Marquis Star Refining activated the Holy Star Origin Power, taking Lin Qing across the Holy Star to the front of the vast palace complex like countless stars.
“Marquis Star Refining, please enter the hall for a discussion.”
As a tranquil female voice seemingly containing infinite power rang out, the towering temple at the center of the palace complex radiated boundless light, forming a space-time channel winding like a long staircase, leading straight into the temple’s interior.
Marquis Star Refining led Lin Qing along the long staircase for hundreds of steps, passing through the space-time channel into a spacious hall.
Inside the hall, a beautiful woman in a purple-gold battle robe was seated behind a desk on the platform, while on both sides below were placed exquisite desks, with an eternal being seated behind each, over a thousand in total.
Eternal auras filled the entire hall.
It was the Heavenly Silence Palace Master and the sub-palace masters of the Heavenly Silence Palace.
“Marquis Star Refining, pays respect to the Palace Master.”
Marquis Star Refining immediately bowed respectfully. According to the Ice Seal Empire’s hierarchy, the rank of the Heavenly Silence Palace Master was three levels higher than that of a lord of the state domain like him!
And Lin Qing had no official position, no nobility title, not even a citizen of the Ice Seal Empire, so he casually cupped his hands in salute.
Seeing this, quite a few eternal beings couldn’t help but take a few extra glances at him.
Even Marquis Star Refining had to be respectful, and this high-level chaotic creature following beside him, what background did he have to be so arrogant in front of the Palace Master?
In the presence of such a great figure as the Palace Master, even they, the eternal beings, had to be extremely cautious!
“Marquis Star Refining… and this must be Mr. Lin Qing?”
On the platform, the beautiful woman in a purple-gold battle robe, the ‘Heavenly Silence Palace Master,’ looked at Lin Qing with great interest, not caring whether Lin Qing was following proper etiquette.
A slight smile appeared on her lips, “I heard Mr. Lin Qing has an avatar of a spiritual chaos creature, and not long ago, using the Illusion World Extinction method, in a single thought, killed Marquis Cangliu and suppressed three Black Robed Saints of the Great Black Heaven Divine Hall and Marquis Jue Yuan?”
Upon hearing this, several eternal beings below were slightly taken aback, unable to help but feel some shock, clearly learning this news for the first time.
A high-level chaotic creature, having an avatar of a spiritual chaos creature and knowing Illusion World Extinction?
The background and heritage are obviously astonishing, and possessing such achievements, it’s no wonder he carries himself this way in front of the Palace Master.
“Luck.”
Lin Qing said, “Compared to the Heavenly Silence Palace Master, this is nothing, right.”
“How many years have you been cultivating? You’re not even eternal yet, how can you compare?” The Heavenly Silence Palace Master smiled, “No wonder His Majesty specifically sent me to lead the crowd to protect you. It’s indeed merited.”
Though she couldn’t say it publicly, she had also heard from the Ice Emperor that this Lin Qing was a peerless genius chosen by the Lord of the Heavenly Light Divine Country!
Even though he hadn’t yet passed the test of the Lord of the Heavenly Light Divine Country and couldn’t be considered a disciple, even if he didn’t pass the test, once he reached eternity, he would surely become a registered disciple of the Lord of the Heavenly Light Divine Country!
Even as a registered disciple of Guang Wang, his status would be much higher than hers, and the Ice Emperor would have to show some deference.
Moreover, demonstrating such strength even in the high-level chaotic creature stage was impressive enough.
“To protect me?”
Lin Qing knowingly asked, “Heavenly Silence Palace coming in such grandiose fashion, surely it’s not just to protect me?”
“That’s one aspect.” The Heavenly Silence Palace Master smiled, “The Ice Emperor knows that a Divine Country war will break out in our Ice Seal Empire. The Changyuan Empire, connected in space-time with our Ice Seal Empire and aligned with the Myriad Seas Divine Country, could launch an attack at any moment. Therefore… His Majesty decreed this place as the space-time fortress of our Ice Seal Empire!”
