Chapter 2172: Put All Karma Onto Me!
The Sovereign's Ascension
There were many saint elixirs growing on the Snow Mountain Abode within the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, decorating this place like a celestial realm. After the Blue Dragon Record came to an end, Mu Xueling had been meditating, sealing the Heavenly Dragonâs blood. This might be a droplet of the Heavenly Dragonâs blood, but the value was higher than a hundred divine bloods added together.
Divine blood was also precious, but every holy land had some stock of divine blood. But the Heavenly Dragonâs blood was different because the value was unimaginable.
It didnât take long for the Heavenly Dragonâs blood to be sealed within a golden crystal bottle, making Mu Xueling heave a sigh of relief. Next, she would have to find an opportunity to give it to Lin Yun. But the opportunity wasnât easy to find since there were many people with their attention on the Heavenly Dragonâs blood. The Blood Moon Sect might not dare to offend the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Mountain, but they would definitely go after Lin Yun if she gave it to him.
So she couldnât allow the Heavenly Dragonâs blood to go to waste. Right then, lute music resounded, echoing throughout the valley.
âMhm?â Mu Xuelingâs face changed as she turned around and saw a white-clothed youth walking over. This person had golden curly hair with unimaginably beautiful features. This person was Tian Xuanzi.
Seeing Tian Xuanzi, Mu Xueling squinted and immediately became alert.
âThe world is filled with woes, and itâs a pity that no one can walk with me. Weâre both filled with woes.â Tian Xuanzi sang as he played the lute, wearing a smile on his face. There was a white cat with a crimson mark on its forehead following behind Tian Xuanzi.
The white cat that looked noble had a pair of crimson eyes that looked eye-catching. Mu Xueling noticed that it was the Ancient Nine-Tailed Fox, possessing an ancient bloodline and incredible strength.
âThis place is really beautiful, but you must be lonely here. After all, ordinary people canât stay here for long.â Tian Xuanzi smiled as he came over. He sat before Mu Xueling, acting like an old friend as he casually placed the lute to the side and poured a cup of tea for himself.
âYour skills in playing the lute arenât bad,â Mu Xueling changed the topic while looking at the lute.
Tian Xuanzi raised the teacup, and smiled, âI once practiced it for a little, and I picked it back up after sparring with the Saint Elder back then. Why donât we have some fun?â
The purple flames on his right shoulder, which were illuminating his face, became dim, alternating between an angel and a demon. But regardless if it was a demon or an angel, it was an incredibly beautiful face.
âGo on.â Mu Xueling didnât hesitate to summon an ancient zither before her with a wave of her hand.
Tian Xuanzi smiled, before grabbing the lute. At the same time, a lute and a zither music echoed. They had both activated the saint tune to start off. When the two soundwaves clashed together, everything around them was destroyed with the snow being swept away.
In just one second, the ground became clean without a speck of dust with only the zither and lute music being played. Various phenomena soon appeared in the surrounding area. The zither music was a white-clothed swordsman, while the lute music was an army.
Very quickly, Mu Xueling discovered that she couldnât suppress Tian Xuanzi, no matter how she tried. No matter how much the white-clothed swordsman unleashed his sword aura, it couldnât break apart the army, so she changed to the Great Saint Tune, to which Tian Xuanzi calmly followed suit.
As the surrounding phenomena became even more intense, the valley became covered with various phenomena.
As the zither music became more majestic, Mu Xueling switched to the Saint King Tune, to which Tian Xuanzi briefly hesitated before following behind her. Those who could play the Saint King Tune could face experts at the Heavenly Origin Phase, and the Imperial Tune was above that, representing the Saint Realm.
Mu Xueling suddenly held down her zither as the music came to an end. Only the lute music remained, sounding like beads rapidly falling onto a jade plate or an arm galloping across the battlefield, and each horse had a black flag fluttering in the wind.
While Tian Xuanzi was surprised, Mu Xueling played the zither again and a dazzling radiance lit up the entire valley. When a golden soundwave swept past, the entire army was swept through and the strings on the lute snapped. They both stopped at the same time as the cold wind blew once more.
Tian Xuanzi said, âImperial Tune, itâs a pity that my lute is damaged. Saint Elder, you have to compensate me for it.â
When he raised his head, he wore a bright smile. But Mu Xuelingâs face was cold as she said, âI have already given you enough face. Donât take it too far.â
Tian Xuanzi smiled, âBut my lute is damaged. Shouldnât you give me an explanation for damaging my lute?â
âDonât beat around the bush. What do you want?â Mu Xueling looked at Tian Xuanzi coldly.
âThat droplet of Heavenly Dragonâs blood seems pretty good,â Tian Xuanzi said.
The Ancient Nine-Tailed Fox came to a stone mountain nearby, looking at Mu Xueling coldly.
Mu Xueling looked at Tian Xuanzi, and she said, âNo one can offend the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Mountain without paying the price, no one. Not even that Empress.â
âYouâre threatening me?â Tian Xuanzi sighed.
âI donât wish to repeat myself,â Mu Xueling said.
Tian Xuanzi said with a self-mocking tone, âThose from the Ancient Barren Domain know that I will do anything to achieve my goal. Iâm a bad person, and when a bad person comes to you wanting something, you better not take any chances.â
As he slowly stood up, he looked at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, and said, âThe scenery here is beautiful, and I believe many peopleâs hearts will be broken if this place is destroyed.â
âNo one will feel heartache in everyone's head.â The cat licked its paw and said coldly.
âSmart,â Tian Xaunzi smiled.
Mu Xueling took a deep breath to calm her anger. She knew that she wasnât Tian Xuanziâs opponent if they fought. The current Tian Xuanzi was stronger than a year ago, and he was even more unfathomable. A year ago, Tian Xuanzi was injured, and Mu Xueling wasnât able to block him, not to mention now that Tian Xuanzi had recovered and was even stronger.
Tian Xuanzi wouldnât be able to stop her if she wanted to leave, but she didnât hesitate to believe that he would slaughter everyone from the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion if that was the case. A long time later, after Mu Xueling calmed her emotions, she took out the golden crystal bottle containing the Heavenly Dragonâs blood.
âThank you, Saint Elder,â Tian Xuanzi smiled and reached out.
But Mu Xueling stopped him, and said, âYouâre bad, but youâre not stupid. Even those from the Blood Moon Sect didnât dare to offend the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Mountain. Are you sure that you want to offend the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Mountain and take this Heavenly Dragonâs blood away?â
âBack then, even the Nine Emperors couldn't do anything to the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Mountain even when they joined forces together, so why will I dare? But I have to take this Heavenly Dragonâs blood no matter what, and if thereâs any karma, just put it all on me!â Tian Xuanzi said as he took the crystal bottle away. He gave her a smile before he lowered his head to look at the zither.
âYour zither isnât bad. Actually, I also know the Imperial Tune.â Tian Xuanzi gently strummed the zither and a golden radiance soared to the sky with a boundless imperial pressure blooming from Tian Xuanzi that instantly enveloped the entire valley.
âLetâs meet again in the future.â Tian Xuanzi carried the white cat, and left while waving his hand.
Mu Xueling looked at Tian Xuanziâs figure while clenching her fists together.
Zhuge Qingyun and Qin Cang were waiting outside the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. When Tian Xuanzi came out with the cat in his embrace, he handed the cat to Zhuge Qingyun, and said, âHelp Lilâ Nine to scratch. Otherwise, I won't sleep well.â
âAlright.â Zhuge Qingyun smiled. This wasnât his first time scratching the cat for him.
Tian Xuanzi handed the crystal bottle to Qin Cang, and said, âGo to the Divine Dragon Empire and hand this to someone.â
Qin Cang was baffled as he looked at the crystal bottle. He took it, and couldnât help asking, âMaster, who am I going to give it to?â
âGive it to whoever asks you for it,â Tian Xuanzi said.
âOh, okay.â Qin Cang casually placed the crystal bottle in his clothes, but he wasnât in a hurry to leave.
âThatâs the Heavenly Dragonâs blood. Donât carry it this way. Put it in your interspatial bracelet,â Tian Xuanzi smiled.
Qin Cangâs face changed, before he staggered after hearing what Tian Xuanzi said.
âRelax. No one will think that the Heavenly Dragonâs blood will be in your hands. Go now,â Tian Xuanzi comforted.
âAh? Didnât we say that Iâll follow Master to weigh the entire Eastern Desolation?â Qin Cang asked.
âThis trip is dangerous for me, and thereâs no need for you to follow me. As long as the Radiant Sword Saint isnât back, donât come back,â Tian Xuanzi said.
âMaster is a peerless genius, and I believe that you will survive. No one in the Kunlun Realm has a talent comparable to Master in the past thousand years,â Qin Cang replied.
âEvery gift given by fate has a price tag on it, and Iâm not an exception. Leave now,â Tian Xuanzi sighed with a gentle smile.
Qin Cang still wanted to say something, but he knew that his master wouldnât change his mind after making a decision.
âSenior Brother, take care of Master,â Qin Cang turned to look at Zhuge Qingyun.
After Qin Cang left, Tian Xuanzi looked at his eldest disciple, and said, âZhuge Qingyun, thereâs no path of return once we make this trip.â
âI wonât turn back,â Zhuge Qingyun replied.
âAlright. Letâs not turn back, then!â Tian Xuanzi smiled. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The corner of Zhuge Qingyunâs lips twitched, before he said, âMaster, that direction is back to the Ancient Barren Domainâ¦â
âIs that so?â Tian Xuanzi smiled awkwardly, then he said, âWhich direction is the Myriad Thunder Peak? Forget it, you lead the wayâ¦â
