Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 1117 - 1117 146 High Above

1117: Chapter 146: High Above 1117: Chapter 146: High Above The palace of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty was splendid with gold and jade, bathed in myriad shafts of rosy light, further enhanced by dragons’ energies spiralling upwards, making it resemble the heavenly abode of deities.

Inside the sleeping chamber of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty’s emperor, Commander Yan Ming had taken a long ti to calm his turbulent emotions and digest the profound words just uttered by his lord.

Now, he truly understood the real purpose of why the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty had opened up the ancestral lands.

“So, Your Majesty, you wish to use this trial in the ancestral lands to select the strongest and most exceptional talent to be a suitable partner for Princess Xidie, to ensure her safety in the face of the uncertain future,” Yan Ming said, grasping the painstaking intentions of the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

“The future is fraught with concerns.

The young man whom Xidie values is indeed extraordinary.

Unfortunately, the power behind him is rather too ager,” said the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

He had actually noticed Gu Chen and his companions as soon as they had entered the spiritual realm.

Moreover, though the supre treasure protected him, as a suprely powerful being, the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty discerned so extraordinary traits in Gu Chen.

Should the future hold no worries, and if Princess Xidie liked him, the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty would also agree to their union.

But now, with the empire on the brink of collapse and the entire upper realm facing upheaval or even destruction, it was natural for the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty to do everything possible to ensure his beloved daughter, Princess Xidie, remained unhard.

Thus, choosing a man with unparalleled talents and background as a suitable match for Princess Xidie was what the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty envisaged.

At least, with a strong alliance, there might indeed be a glimr of hope to protect Princess Xidie in the future.

Commander Yan Ming hesitated and said, “But Your Majesty, if that young man nad Gu Bai is so extraordinary, why not give him a chance?

Besides, I have heard that this lad has beco the successor of Qingyun Academy, relying on the dean; he should not be considered weak.”

The battle between the dean of Qingyun Academy and the Evil King Mountain in the East Profound Region was already well-known throughout the upper realm, known by countless people.

From this battle, the suprely powerful beings had also recognized the strength of Qingyun Academy’s dean, who should be ranked first among the immortal-level lineage.

The emperor, with a profound gaze, said, “Situ Yin’s strength is indeed formidable.

However, his temperant is too rigid, and his relations with the Holy Sect and the Forbidden Area of Life are very poor.

Once the great disaster cos, I fear he will be the first to be purged.”

Situ Yin, the na of Qingyun Academy’s dean, could only be spoken out loud by soone like the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, who was also a suprely powerful being.

Commander Yan Ming kept silent.

As a suprely powerful being himself, the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty was much more aware of the situations within the upper realm than he was.

“Given this, will you grant that young man nad Gu Bai an entry spot into the ancestral lands?” asked Yan Ming.

The emperor turned around, glanced at his commander and said, “Xidie personally requested it, even risking a rift with , how could I refuse?”

“You are most wise, Your Majesty,” Yan Ming quickly said.

After a mont of reflection, he added, “But Your Majesty, giving spots in the ancestral lands to other realms has already displeased many.

Our allocation of spots is now quite limited; if we add one more person, whom shall we remove?”

Every spot in the ancestral lands represented a powerful faction.

Although the Holy Brilliance Dynasty was strong enough to stand fearless, it could not act recklessly without causing widespread anger.

The emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty said indifferently, “Since those spots have already been distributed to outsiders, they cannot be revoked.

Just deduct one spot from those allocated to our own Holy Brilliance Dynasty for that lad.”

“I understand,” said Yan Ming, bowing with his fist in his palm, speaking reverently.

The emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty’s intention was clear.

As a colossal entity, his dynasty housed many outstanding figures but also nurous undesirables who sought to gold-plate their credentials through this opportunity.

And Gu Bai’s spot would be taken from among these individuals.

Even if the removed individual were an incompetent, the backing power and the person themselves would be dissatisfied, and they would inevitably cause trouble for Gu Bai.

But such minor issues were of no concern to the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, nor would he allow Princess Xidie to exert herself over them.

If they could not handle such a small matter on their own, what were they doing entering the ancestral lands?

“I am curious to see what’s so special about this man whom my beloved daughter holds in such high esteem, to the point of risking a rupture with her father she respects most,” said the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

His gaze, profound and piercing through all obstacles, seed to envision Gu Chen within Saint Hua City.

“Defeat all exceptional talents participating in the trial of the ancestral lands, and command a view as from a mountain peak?” A trace of a smile appeared on the august face of the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty as he said, “I am eager to see if my precious daughter’s judgnt is as sharp and discerning as mine was in my youth.”

anwhile, after the conversation with the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty had ended, Commander Yan Ming found Princess Xidie and relayed to her the emperor’s approval.

“This is wonderful!” Upon hearing this, Princess Xidie was overjoyed, and a great weight was lifted from her heart.

“Thank you, Uncle Yan.

I appreciate your help,” said Princess Xidie, her dimpled cheeks showing as she warmly thanked Yan Ming.

“It’s nothing, just a small matter, Princess.

There’s no need for such formalities,” Yan Ming said, waving his hand with a smile.
