The Supreme Lord Donghuang

“Yes, I made a trip back.”

Zhou Donghuang seemed rather oblivious to He Mengxi’s change in facial expression. He nodded and spoke with an impassive look on his face.

“Does this mean that you met with the people of the Qi Dynasty, who were lying in wait there?”

Although Zhou Donghuang was clearly doing well, after hearing that her junior had actually returned to the Lightning Sword Sect after the sect had been destroyed, He Mengxi could not help but break out into a cold sweat.

This was because He Mengxi had received information that after the Lightning Sword Sect was destroyed, the Qi Dynasty had left representatives at the site to lie in wait for her junior, Zhou Donghuang.

It was undeniable that Zhou Donghuang was talented in the martial way. Nevertheless, against the Qi Dynasty, one still had to be careful.

“Yes, I met them.” Zhou Donghuang nodded his head as if he did not see He Mengxi’s face change once again.

“I originally wanted to use the galaxy teleporter to return directly to the sect. However, I realized that the galaxy teleporter was not responding, and instead I traveled to a galaxy teleporter that was near to the Lightning Sword Sect.

“At that point, after I had arrived, I realized that there were many people waiting near the galaxy teleporter of the Lightning Sword Sect… They were some disciples of our Lightning Sword Sect who were under the control of an ultimate Primordial Soul adept from the Qi Dynasty.”

Upon hearing this, He Mengxi’s eyes widened in shock.

She had not expected that the Qi Dynasty would send representatives to lie in wait at the galaxy teleporter of the Lightning Sword Sect. Furthermore, she had not known that survivors of the Lightning Sword Sect were under the control of the Qi Dynasty. It was not hard to guess that their purpose was to identify Zhou Donghuang.

“At that point, one of the disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect recognized me and reported my presence to the representative of the Qi Dynasty… Afterwards, the representative of the Qi Dynasty killed all the disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect as they were of no more use to him.

“Next, he tried to attack me.”

As he spoke to this point, Zhou Donghuang paused for a second before continuing to speak. “But he hadn’t expected to not be a match for me.”

“After killing him, I returned to the Lightning Sword Sect. I discovered that it had been destroyed and only rubble was left… After walking around, I could not find you, the Valley Head or Da Zhuang. I assumed then that all of you had fortunately survived this ordeal.

“Afterwards, two other ultimate Primordial Soul adepts of the Qi Dynasty appeared and tried to murder me. After killing one of them, the other was compliant and told me the details of what had happened. I then confirmed that the three of you were still alive.

“At the same time, I found out that Valley Head had been poisoned by that poison master of the Qi Dynasty and was in a critical condition.

“After killing the second representative, I thought hard and decided that the three of you had most likely come to my hometown, the Ziyun planet…

“So I rushed back home immediately after.”

Zhou Donghuang told his story from start to end with an impassive look as if he were talking about something unimportant.

After hearing Zhou Donghuang’s story, He Mengxi had on a dazed look of shock as if she were listening to divine words.

Her little junior brother had actually managed to kill several of the Qi Dynasty’s ultimate Primordial Soul adepts?

His powers had become so strong now?

How long had it been?

Furthermore, it was not just He Mengxi who had on a dazed look. Even Da Zhuang, who was pouring tea, was so shocked that he dropped and shattered the teapot in his hand. “Little brother… You managed to kill ultimate Primordial Soul adepts?”

“The two ultimate Primordial Soul adepts worked in tandem and were still killed by you?”

He Mengxi and Da Zhuang were visibly shocked, whereas He Jin had on a calm look and appeared unsurprised by this matter.

After He Mengxi had regained her composure, she realized this as well and spoke up. “Father, why do you seem so unsurprised by this news? Little brother left us not too long ago, but yet he is now able to kill ultimate Primordial Soul adepts!”

He Jin laughed and said, “A few days ago, when Donghuang was helping me get rid of the poison, I had already realized that his inner essential core was extremely strong, stronger than that of any typical Divine Transformation adept, in fact.

“With the power of his essential core, it must have been easy for him to kill those ultimate Primordial Soul adepts of the Qi Dynasty.”

Upon hearing He Jin’s words, He Mengxi glanced at Zhou Donghuang and could not help but cry out, “Little brother, you’ve already crossed over into the Divine Transformation stage?”

The Divine Transformation stage was beneath the Primordial Soul stage.

Those at this elite stage were extremely rare among those of the previous Lightning Sword Sect, and these adepts had all been really old.

As for her little brother, he was still young!

“Not yet.” Zhou Donghuang shook his head.

“I am still an ultimate Primordial Soul adept. It is only because the training method I’ve been using is strong, and it allows me to have powers that are stronger than any other ultimate Primordial Soul adept. In fact, I could fight with an early Divine Transformation adept.

“This is similar to Valley Head. Before Valley Head crossed over to the Divine Transformation stage, he had transferred to the Thousand-Star Sword technique and became almost undefeatable among the Divine Transformation adepts in the entire Hengliu galaxy.”

After Zhou Donghuang spoke, he turned to glance at He Jin.

“That is true.

He Jin turned to look at He Mengxi and nodded. “The strength of one’s training method can directly impact one’s impact in battle with someone at the same training stage. Although I am only an early Divine Transformation adept, however, by using the Thousand-Star Sword technique that Donghuang taught me, I can duel comfortably with any mid Divine Transformation adept.”

“That’s amazing.” He Mengxi smiled bitterly.

“It has only been a mere few months, yet little brother has managed to cross over into the ultimate Primordial Soul stage… As for me, I only just entered the Primordial Soul stage.”

At the start, when He Jin had first left the Guiyao planet with Zhou Donghuang and discovered that he had crossed over into the late Primordial Stage, he knew that this was a scandalous matter. He had not told anyone else about this matter, not even his own daughter, He Mengxi, as he did not want to invite any trouble.

This was why He Mengxi was much more shocked by this turn of the events than He Jin.

“Little brother, this is too much to handle!” Da Zhuang, who had been listening to the conversation, blurted out.

He Jin glanced at He Mengxi and Da Zhuang and smiled. “Now you know just how far you have to go before you can catch up with Donghuang! You two better train hard! At this rate, it’s possible that by the time the both of you cross over into the Divine Transformation stage, Donghuang here will probably already be at a stage where he can destroy the entire Qi Dynasty by himself!”

The Qi Dynasty.

As He Jin mentioned the Qi Dynasty, a cold look swept over his eyes.

The Qi Dynasty had almost killed his entire pseudo-family at the Autumn Valley. They had also almost entirely wiped out the entire Lightning Sword Sect, which was where he had grown up!

If Zhou Donghuang had not returned on time, at this point, he would already have died due to the poison of the Qi Dynasty.

Upon hearing He Jin’s words, He Mengxi and Da Zhuang’s faces now had on extremely solemn but determined looks.

In the end, it was still Zhou Donghuang who spoke up first to break the tension in the air. “This time, after leaving the sect, I managed to gain many treasures… Out of these, two should be of considerable use to Valley Head. As for the rest, most of it can be useful for Senior Sister and Da Zhuang.”

After he had found that divine spirit cub, Zhou Donghuang brought the black puppy along to travel with him for about two months. Within that period of time, he visited places that he recalled from his past life and gained many treasures in the process.

Other than a large pile of spirit stone veins, he had also obtained many precious spirit fruits and core drugs. Of course, out of these spirit fruits and core drugs, he had already used some to created spirit drugs.

“Donghuang, you should keep them for your own use,” He Jin spoke up. “These things are better used on you than on me… As for Mengxi and Da Zhuang, do not use those treasures on them unless they are useless to you.

“Among us all, your potential is the greatest, and it would be good for you to speedily develop yourself rather than waste the treasures on us and slowing yourself down.”

Humans were usually selfish.

However, Zhou Donghuang had previously saved He Jin’s life. Furthermore, he had taught He Jin the Thousand-Star Sword Technique, which had helped him greatly. He thus could not bear to be selfish in such a situation that involved Zhou Donghuang’s growth.

The words that he uttered now were from the bottom of his heart.

As their group grew together, it made more sense for Zhou Donghuang to develop himself first, even if it was at the expense of the growth of the others.

“Little brother, I agree with my father.”

He Mengxi had a similar mentality to He Jin.

“Yes, little brother, save the treasures for yourselves instead of wasting them on me… In the future, we are counting on you to help exact revenge on our brothers and sisters of the Autumn Valley,” Da Zhuang said with a smile.

Zhou Donghuang smiled as well and shook his head.

“Do not worry, for my training stage, whether or not I have these items will not affect me… The items that I’m giving you all are either useless to me or I have them in excess.”

It was only with Zhou Donghuang’s insistence that the other three hesitantly accepted a few of the spirit fruits and core drugs that he held out, as well as a large number of spirit stone veins that shocked even He Jin.

After the three received the spirit fruits and core drugs, they bade each other farewell and returned to their quarters quickly to train.

Clearly, seeing Zhou Donghuang’s massive upgrade in power had inspired not just He Mengxi but also Da Zhuang and He Jin.

“This time, I didn’t have a chance to see the others yet…”

After leaving the three, several figures popped up in Zhou Donghuang’s mind—Freezing Wind, Lu Qinghu, Zhou Han and Zhou Feng.

Furthermore, there were two other huge figures—Big Gold and Little Gold.

After he had left He Jin and Da Zhuang’s courtyard, Zhou Donghuang took to the skies and flew over the various areas of the Donghuang Peak without disturbing anyone.

As he observed these areas, a comforting smile appeared on his face subconsciously.

“At the very least, they have not been slacking off.”

The Donghuang Peak now was not as empty as before; now, it was bustling with activity.

After a few years of development and with the help of Zhou Donghuang’s name, the Donghuang Sect now had become sacred land on the Ziyun planet.

“Hm?”

Suddenly, a sound rang out past Zhou Donghuang’s ear, attracting his attention.

If it had been ordinary noise, he would not have paid attention to it.

However, this voice included the mentioning of a name: Hong Yunfei.

He was not unfamiliar with this name. Rather, one could even say that he was extremely familiar with it.

Previously, when Chen Dandan had betrayed his mother, Lin Lan, it had been to fly off with the young master of the Hong family. He was a part of the elite family of the Yunfeng prefecture.
