Zhou Weiqing chuckled, “Well, that’s because the both of you underestimated your hubby’s strength too much. Do you know how many Blood Red Hell powerhouses we faced that day?”
Although he had told many people about the fight between them and the Blood Red Hell powerhouses, he did not mention the number of his opponents at all. Of course, he was unsure as well but he had a rough estimate. However, he feared his ladies would be worried to death about him so he decided to keep this to himself. During the battle, the bloodcurdling energy ripples that were released were so strong that Heavenly Jewel Masters who were below the Heavenly King Tier could not even watch in close distance.
“That day, four Heavenly Emperors from the Blood Red Hell were present during that battle. Their lowest cultivation base was at least at the Mid-Level of the Heavenly Emperor Tier and two of them were at the Maximum Level. Not only that, there were eight other Heavenly King-tier powerhouses and a few Heavenly Zong-tier masters.”
“As for the results, the both of you should know best since you all witnessed it yourselves. We won beautifully and naturally, the key player in that battle was none other than your husband, me!”
The moment they heard about the number of Blood Red Hell powerhouses who came for the battle, the two girls were completely stunned. Even though they had their own estimates regarding the number of people who came, it never crossed their minds that it would actually be this many. They did not put much thought into it after the battle had ended. After all, Zhou Weiqing and his group managed to achieve a beautiful win in that battle. They really thought that the enemies could not be that strong.
Zhou Weiqing smiled, “I also managed to achieve my Heavenly Emperor cultivation base after that battle. I’ll just be frank with the both of you, I might not lose even if I’m going against a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse now. So, do you still think that I won’t be able to suppress the Heavenly Demon Sect?”
Shangguan Xue’er gently shook her head. The shock in her eyes was gradually replaced with a puzzled expression. It was not that long ago when Zhou Weiqing was just a small unknown person, and she was the heir of the Number One Saint Land in the world. At that time, the gap between them was very huge. However, in just a few short years, he had already possessed the power to start his own Saint Land. The leap was so huge to the point that it shook her to the core.
Right now, Zhou Weiqing had reached a place where they had to lift their heads up just to look him. It was a position that was evenly matched with a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse. That was right! He was now qualified to start his own Saint Land. On top of that, the power of this Saint Land was not weak as well.
Even if one did not take into account the number of Jewel Masters in the Peerless Battalion that was at the Sixth Jewel cultivation base or higher and there was still a huge number of mighty powerhouses. They had the three great Heavenly Emperors; Zhou Weiqing, Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor and the Demonic Emperor. Apart from that, they also had the six Heavenly Kings who were originally from the Heavenly Demon Sect. Bing’er was also about to become a Heavenly King. Let’s not forget about Duan Tianlang, the God Tier Heavenly King. One could say that Zhou Weiqing’s Peerless Sect had already met all the requirements to create a Saint Land. Not only that, he also had the support of the Heavenly Bow Empire that had just expanded its territory into an area twice its original size. He could easily command and mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops anytime he fancied. In fact, the current Zhou Weiqing was gradually becoming one of the top powerhouses in the mainland.
Shangguan Fei’er was not as shy as Shangguan Xue’er. She wrapped both of her arms around Zhou Weiqing’s neck and said, “Little Fatty, I never thought that you’ll become so powerful!”
He gently stroked her delicate face as he replied, “Fei’er, thank you for working so hard in these few years. Don’t worry, I’ll use my remaining years to make it up to all of you. From now on, I won’t leave you all for no good reason. I’ve also worked equally hard in these few years. The Grand Tournament of Saint Land that’ll be held in six months time will be the Peerless Sect’s time to shine. I’ll leave it to you all to decide whether you want to remain in the Heaven’s Expanse Palace or join the Peerless Sect with me.”
Shangguan Fei’er chuckled happily as she said without any hesitation, “Of course I’ll join the Peerless Sect. I’m the wife of the sect leader after all. Not only that, I also want to become the chief instructor of the Peerless Sect. Can I?”
Zhou Weiqing laughed out loud. “Of course you can!” As he was answering Fei’er, his eyes fell on Shangguan Xue’er.
Shangguan Xue’er immediately understood what he was thinking. With a small sigh, she asked, “You’ve already won me over from my uncle so why are you asking me this now?”
Zhou Weiqing released Fei’er’s hand and walked forward to pull Xue’er into his arms. “Of course I have to ask you. I’ll never force you to do anything you don’t want to do. Even if you decide to inherit the Palace Master position in the Heaven’s Expanse Palace, you’ll still have my full support. However, if that’s really the case, then in ten years time, I’ll definitely lead the Peerless Sect over and take over the Heaven’s Expanse Palace so that you’ll once again return to my side.”
Arrogance could be heard in Zhou Weiqing’s last sentence. Shangguan Xue’er and Fei’er could feel a supremely powerful aura emitting from his body. He did not purposely emit the restrictive aura, it was an inherent trait. They would never doubt the veracity of Zhou Weiqing’s statement.
Shangguan Xue’er’s body trembled slightly as she glared at him speechlessly. “Aren’t you forcing me to follow your way now?”
Zhou Weiqing chuckled, “No, no, this is totally different! What I’m most concerned about now is when will the both of you consummate your marriage with me! Or, should we all do it together? Yes?”
“Go to hell!” The two women lifted their foot up at the same time and sent a certain someone flying with their kicks.
At this moment, a strong energy ripple could be felt coming from the sky. It prompted the three of them to look up at the same time.
An intense silverish white light mixed with a faint green light suddenly rushed towards Bing’er in a frenzy. A halo could be vaguely seen forming slowly as it emitted from the center of her chest.
The color of the halo was extremely strange. The center was silverish white but the outside was green in color. It looked a little similar to Zhou Weiqing’s Heavenly King-tier Starcrux Saint Nucleus Core. Instead of Saint Energy, the thing that was surrounding the Saint Nucleus Core was Wind Attribute Heavenly Energy. However, this Wind Attribute Heavenly Energy was also mixed with a silverish white halo. It was very beautiful and pleasing to the eyes. There was also a faint golden light in the center of the Saint Nucleus Core.
“Done!” Zhou Weiqing stepped out. And in the next second, he was already in mid-air, standing 100 meters away from Shangguan Bing’er. He did not get too close to her in fear that the aura from his body would affect her last absorption.
Shangguan Bing’er undoubtedly had also become a Heavenly King.
Zhou Weiqing silently breathed in the energy ripple that was radiating out of Bing’er’s body. Based on his knowledge of cultivation base and Saint Energy, he immediately knew what was going on.
After another 15 minutes, Bing’er who was hovering in mid-air slowly opened her eyes. A faint greenish and silverish sparkle could be seen gleaming in her beautiful eyes. At that instance, she looked as graceful as a fairy. It was as if her entire being had merged with the air, soaring freely in the sky.
The wings behind her retracted at once. Her delicate body swayed gently before she threw herself into Zhou Weiqing’s warm arms. She could not contain the excitement in her heart.
“Little Fatty! I made it! Yes! I’ve succeeded! I’ve also advanced now!”
Zhou Weiqing hugged her before he lowered his head to kiss her on the forehead. “Congratulations, Bing’er.”
The two of them slowly descended from the sky and landed next to Xue’er and Fei’er. Embarrassed, Bing’er quickly pulled herself out of Zhou Weiqing’s embrace.
“Little Fatty, my Nucleus Core seems to be a little peculiar. I have a feeling that I can merge with the air. What’s going on ?” Although Shangguan Bing’er had already succeeded in solidifying her Nucleus Core, she did not seem to understand much about it.
Zhou Weiqing chuckled, “Well, technically, it shouldn’t be called a Nucleus Core. Instead, it’s a Saint Nucleus Core. However, it’s not as pure as the real Saint Nucleus Core. You didn’t have any Saint Attribute in your body when you were solidifying it. It was all thanks to the Saint Energy I infused into your body. Your own attribute is not repressed by it, that’s why the Saint Nucleus Core that you have right now is a mixture of the Wind and Saint Energy that has evolved. For this reason, the Wind Attribute that you possess is no longer the conventional Wind Attribute but one that’s infused with the Creation Energy. To put it simply, at the very least, your Wind attribute will not be subdued by the Destruction Attribute of the Blood Red Hell. Not only that, the range and power of your Wind Attribute are also much greater than the average Wind Attribute Heavenly King. As for how you should use it, you’ll have to slowly explore on your own. Although it’s not a true Saint Nucleus Core, at the very least it has some of the traits of a Saint Nucleus Core. It’s something like a sub-Saint Nucleus Core. Since it has merged with your Wind Attribute, let us call it Wind Spirit Saint Nucleus Core.”
Bing’er obediently nodded her head. A gentle smile could be seen on her delicate face.
Both Shangguan Xue’er and Fei’er who were standing by the side was green with envy.
Fei’er leaned towards Zhou Weiqing as she grabbed onto his right arms and gave it a good shake, “I don’t care! I’m going to become a Heavenly King too! You must help me!”
Xue’er burst out laughing as she watched them. The coldness on her face immediately melted into a warm smile. “Silly girl, do you even know what a Heavenly King is? You think it’ll come so easily to you?
Zhou Weiqing chuckled, “Well, even though it won’t come so easily, breaking through to the Heavenly King Tier is not that difficult since we’re all a family. I have the easiest way for you to become a Heavenly King in the shortest time possible.”
Once he finished his sentence, let alone Fei’er, even Xue’er could not help but be interested as well. They blinked their wide eyes as they looked at him hopefully.
Zhou Weiqing replied solemnly, “Actually, this method is very simple. As long as you do THAT with me, you’ll break through almost immediately.”
“Go to hell!” Without warning, Fei’er gave him a hard shove. She wanted to fiercely push him away. However, Zhou Weiqing was no longer the Little Fatty Zhou that was easily pushed around by other people. He stood firmly on the ground without moving an inch.
Xue’er stared at him with a look of disdain as well.”Ugghh! You only have those dirty things in your mind all the time!”
Zhou Weiqing replied with an innocent face, “What dirty things? Why don’t you ask Bing’er whether it’s true that you’ll be able to elevate your cultivation base just by sleeping with me? Hey, I’m a Heavenly Emperor now, you know. As long as I take a little care when we’re doing that, I can transfuse the essence of my Saint Energy into your body in the most direct way. With the exchange between our Yin and Yang, you’ll really be able to make a breakthrough. I really am not lying to any of you! You can always give it a try, you know. And if this method fails, I’ll let you hit me any way you like.”
Just as Fei’er was about to agree to it, Xue’er suddenly pulled her over and whispered to her, “Should we even try? We’re just letting him take advantage of us if we agree to it!”
Shangguan Fei’er finally came to her senses. Embarrassed and slightly annoyed, she gave him a few hard punches.
Zhou Weiqing said helplessly, “Well, you can’t blame me for not helping the both of you then. Okay, how about this? I’ll ask Little Witch to give it a try first for your sake. After you’ve seen the results, you can always look for me anytime you want. Hehe!”
