The blood beasts were already regrouping. Since Ning Fan used up his magic power, it was difficult for him to instantly kill the other Void Refinement Realm blood beasts.
It’s not advantageous to continue staying here. It’s more important to return to the outside world and finish Senior Yun’s test.
If Ning Fan gets back late, he did not know whether Yun Tianjue would be considered to have lost the bet. Well, he did not want to witness Yun Tianjue’s wrath from losing his beloved sword.
By activating the token of the Rain Sovereign, Ning Fan’s figure gradually became illusory and eventually disappeared from the second layer.
…
The Rain Palace of the Middle State was in a state of bewilderment and astonishment.
In the ancestral temple of the Rain Palace, the giant statue of the rain ancestors that was worshipped by many with incense and joss sticks day and night had flared with a dazzling golden light.
The sky above the entire Middle State which was nearly tens of millions of li* (500m per li) was lit up with golden rays.
As a cultivator of the Middle State, it was certainly impossible to not know the meaning behind such a strange phenomenon.
The new generation of Rain Sovereign has been born.
But how is this possible?
The current Rain Sovereign has yet to pass away. Thus, how can it be possible for the new Rain Sovereign to be born?
“Who was it that has successfully condensed the sovereign qi? Was it Yun Xiaoxiang or Yun Tianjue?!”
The Rain Sovereign summoned countless experts of the Middle State and questioned each and every one of them as soon as he met them. Evidently, he also did not understand why such a strange phenomenon would happen to the statue of rain ancestors.
However, although he did not know the cause of it, he could guess that someone in the Rain World must have managed to condense the sovereign qi using the Sovereign Rain Primordial Art. Otherwise, the ancestral statue would never show such a strange phenomenon.
Who was it?
Yun Xiaoxiang was the second prince as well as the biological son of the current Rain Sovereign. If Yun Xiaoxiang was the one who condensed the sovereign qi, it would, of course, be a delightful matter to the Rain Sovereign.
But if it was Yun Tianjue… He was not the Rain Sovereign’s own son. He attained the status of being one of the sons of god by depending on his own strength and capabilities.
If he was the one who condensed the sovereign qi, he would without a doubt become the Rain Sovereign.
The Rain Sovereign might not say it publicly, but deep inside, he was certainly reluctant to allow the Rain Palace to fall into the hands of an outsider.
Yun Xiaoxiang had yet to return from his journey whereas Yun Tianjue seemed to be in the Dragon Determining Valley. If it was proven that Yun Tianjue was not the one who condensed the sovereign qi after their investigation, it would probably be Yun Xiaoxiang.
“Reporting to Father, the person who condensed the sovereign qi is definitely not Yun Tianjue. One month ago, I have just fought him. His strength has recovered to the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. He is extraordinarily powerful. However, when he fought, he still emanated a tremendous amount of baleful qi. It’s definitely not the graceful and refined demeanor of a sovereign… I can assure you that he definitely has no sovereign qi!”
Yun Jinghong cupped his fists and spoke. He was also the biological son of the Rain Sovereign.
There were still some injuries on his face. Without a doubt, they had been caused by Yun Tianjue using his Myriad Sword Style.
He was unwilling to see Yun Tianjue become the next Divine Sovereign. Thus, he would certainly do his best to prove that the latter had yet to condense the sovereign qi.
Even though he did not harbor kind intentions, what he said was not a lie. Yun Tianjue had indeed yet to condense his sovereign qi.
“If it wasn’t Tianjue, then it would be Xiaoxiang…”
The anxiety on Rain Sovereign’s face loosened a little.
If it is Yun Xiaoxiang, then it isn’t any disastrous matter. Instead, it’s a joyful thing.
“It wasn’t me!”
Just as the Rain Sovereign revealed a faint smile on his face, an ice-cold voice echoed across the hall. It was none other than Yun Xiaoxiang’s voice.
It wasn’t him? He wasn’t the one…?
His words made all the experts of the Middle State go blank for a second.
Could it be one of the four greatest Void Fragmentation Realm experts? Impossible. The four of them have unique identities but none of them has the innate potential to comprehend the sovereign qi. Even Chu Chang’an has only condensed half a trace of the sovereign qi. However, it had still been bestowed upon him by the past Rain Sovereign.
Among the six princes of the Rain Palace, no one else has the potential to condense the sovereign qi except for Yun Tianjue and Yun Xiaoxiang.
If it’s neither one of them, who could it be?
Could it be that the ancestral statue has made a mistake? Was it because the ancestral statue broke and that’s why it gave out a strange phenomenon?
No one dared to suggest that the ancestral statue had been broken… It was a disgraceful thing to say that was offensive to all established values of the Rain Palace.
All of a sudden, a brewing storm overwhelmed the Middle State and it was even spreading across the entire Rain World.
Who is the true Divine Sovereign of the world?!
