Chapter 273: Chapter 137: Reverence of the Strongest, This is Not a Tier Two Celestial Demon Bone!_2
"Even if Spirit Badge were to later advance to Eighth-Layer Perfection, to kill an Early-stage Tier Eight Marsh Python in the lake would still take at least a few days and nights of fierce battle!"
Everyone else also clasped their hands and praised. Han Li from the Thousand Swords Sect, who carried a longsword on his back, laughed and said, "Given time, Granny Guan will be ranked in the top fifty of the Great Xia Summer List once she reaches the Ninth Layer. Compared to some Mid-Ninth Layer top-notch powerhouses, her ranking won’t fall short!"
Guan Nanfeng, despite being praised by everyone, remained quite indifferent. Her eyes flickered as she glanced at Lin Xuankong, and she suddenly spoke:
"I was able to easily slay an Early Eighth-Layer Marsh Python only because of my higher realm. However, this Mr. Mu Shiba can control three Late Stage Seventh-Layer Great Demons! What’s more, among these three Spirit Puppets, two are Late Stage Seventh-Layer Corpse Scorpions with strange Demon Techniques. Even if Mr. Mu has a Sixth-Layer Cultivation, he could probably fight that Tier Eight Marsh Python! Such great talent, if he can advance to the Eighth Layer in the future, would definitely qualify to be a Tributor at the Princess’s Mansion of Great Xia!"
Numerous Martial Cultivators, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but look at Lin Xuankong. Among them, Tier Eight Powerhouses like Wang Linghui, Yang Luochen, and Yang Luofeng were all somewhat puzzled.
The Emperor of Great Xia’s wet nurse, a powerhouse at Eighth-Layer Perfection approaching the Ninth Layer, actually admired this Mu Shiba so much? It’s likely that once this news spreads, Mu Shiba will be known throughout the entire Six Prefectures of Nanjiang! Moreover, this Mu Shiba possesses three Spirit Puppets, including two Late Stage Seventh-Layer Corpse Scorpions as Spirit Puppets! The Poisonous Fog of a Late Stage Seventh-Layer Corpse Scorpion is enough to affect Eighth-Layer Martial Cultivators. Two Late Stage Seventh-Layer Corpse Scorpions can easily contend with Early Eighth Layer powerhouses! Such a powerhouse, even with only a Sixth-Layer Cultivation, cannot be underestimated!
But none of them had heard before of someone named Mu Shiba in the Southern Border, so they were naturally puzzled.
The Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er, hearing this, couldn’t help but show a trace of helplessness on her pretty face. She supported Guan Nanfeng’s arm and thought to herself: Granny Guan is good in every aspect, but her standards are too harsh and picky! What does it matter if Mr. Mu only has Sixth-Layer Cultivation? Can’t he be a Tributor of the Princess’s Mansion now? With his Cultivation Speed far surpassing my own, he could probably advance to the Eighth Layer within ten years or so! But Granny Guan doesn’t agree with him becoming a Tributor for my Princess’s Mansion because of his cultivation level! Hmm... she’s even being indirect about it, it’s truly a headache!
At this moment, while the Third Princess looked helpless, Lin Xuankong felt nothing. A Tributor at the Princess’s Mansion, is that something so appealing? I’m not even interested in being the Princess’s Consort, alright!
While everyone was sighing with emotion, Guan Nanfeng glanced proudly at Lin Xuankong. Then she looked towards the center of the valley at a Demon Qi Group, over one hundred zhang in diameter, semi-spherical, and pressed against the ground.
Lin Xuankong naturally had long noticed that Demon Qi Group. Under the influence of the Grand Array laid by Prince Yu’s Mansion, that Demon Qi Group was constantly shrinking, while inside it numerous bizarre phenomena were taking place!
In those phenomena, stars were falling to the ground, countless continents were crumbling, numerous planets were shattering into countless pieces, and countless suns were breaking into fragments of flames scattered across the universe. At the center of the phenomena was a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, meandering through the boundless starry sky. Wherever it went, the fallen stars returned to the sky, the crumbled continents reassembled, the shattered stars recovered, and the suns gathered again, radiating light and heat...
The most peculiar thing was that these phenomena were incredibly lifelike. Even when Lin Xuankong secretly used the Eye Power of his Celestial Eye to magnify the illusions countless times, he still couldn’t find any flaw. Under his magnified vision, the mountains and rivers on the shattered continents were revealed one by one! Lin Xuankong even suspected that if his Eye Power were enhanced by hundreds more times and he continued to magnify, he might be able to see the flying birds and roaming beasts on the shattered continents!
After observing for a while, Lin Xuankong was greatly shocked in his heart. Perhaps these aren’t illusions, but events that the Golden Dragon which left the Celestial Demon Bone truly experienced?
While he was silently contemplating, Guan Nanfeng, who was also watching the phenomena, said in a deep voice:
"All of the Celestial Demon Bones in the Great Xia Dynasty, Rakshasa Kingdom, and the Central Divine Dynasty are said to display this same phenomenon before being fused by Cultivators. Our predecessors speculate that these illusions may not be false. Perhaps all the Celestial Demon Bones on this continent come from the same Ancient Celestial Demon, and these illusions are merely what that Ancient Celestial Demon experienced and saw in its lifetime! If the truth aligns with the speculations of our predecessors, the abilities of the Golden Dragon that left this Celestial Demon Bone are indeed terrifying. It can shatter countless stars and suns and also restore all things!"
The maid Qiing, standing nearby, couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise upon hearing this:
"Guan Official Family, how can such a terrifying Celestial Demon exist in this world? If so, wouldn’t that mean that the Immortals of the Immortal Sects in the Central Divine Dynasty and even the legendary ancestors of the Human Race are not as powerful as this Celestial Demon! Moreover, if all Celestial Demon Bones come from the same Ancient Celestial Demon, why are they divided into Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three Celestial Demon Bones!"
Guan Nanfeng laughed and replied:
"Little girl, if these illusions are real, the strength of this Golden Dragon Celestial Demon cannot be compared to Great Demons, Demon Kings, or even Demon Emperors! As for the differentiation of tiers in Celestial Demon Bones, it is only because the size and location of the obtained Celestial Demon Bones differ, so their power and effectiveness vary. If one obtains only a sand-sized piece of Celestial Demon Bone, it’s naturally a Tier One Celestial Demon Bone. After nurturing it for two to three hundred years, the Secret Realm it can expand is only within a few hundred miles!"
