Chapter 2207 God Monarch Lingxi

With a wave of her hand, Fairy Linglong tore apart the fabric of space to follow the golden board. The next moment, she was standing before a massive gate shrouded amid a layer of fog.

Sky of Freedom, Heavenly Palace of Freedom.

The gate was still tightly shut.

“Fairy Linglong of the Sky of Linglong has come to pay respect to God Monarch Lingxi!” Fairy Linglong lowered her body and waited patiently for the gate to open.

The term ‘Nine Skies Nine Monarchs’ made it sound as if the Nine God Monarchs were of equal standing, but only those who had reached the level of a God Monarch would know that the true master of the Firmament was none other than the person lording over the Sky of Freedom.

The surroundings were absolutely silent. There was no breeze or the calls of any beasts around.

The air in the area was so still that it felt suffocating.

Fairy Linglong continued waiting patiently amid this stifling environment, but on the inside, she was trying to figure out the reason behind this summon.

The other party had sent the golden board over to invite her there, but despite her arrival, the gate still remained firmly closed. There was no one to receive her, and there were no indications as to what she was supposed to do.

She did not recall doing anything that would have offended God Monarch Lingxi!

Fairy Linglong waited for a while longer, but there was still no response at all. So, she raised her voice slightly and announced her presence once more. “Fairy Linglong of the Sky of Linglong has come to pay respect to God Monarch Lingxi!”

It had been an hour since she arrived, and her posture had remained lowered the whole time. It was not that she could not stand upright; she dared not.

She waited for yet another hour after that, but the massive gate still showed no signs of opening. Just as Fairy Linglong was wondering if she should take her leave and return another day, a voice suddenly echoed from the depths of the Heavenly Palace of Freedom.

“This is a clone formed by a sliver of my will. I’ll give you three moves to defeat it!”

Weng!

Right after those words were spoken, a young lady appeared before Fairy Linglong.

The young lady was dressed in a simple but elegant white robe. She had an aura that seemed to meld into nature, making her presence nearly imperceptible.

Fairy Linglong’s eyebrows shot up in astonishment.

She did not recall doing anything to offend God Monarch Lingxi! Why did she have to defeat the other party’s will within three moves?

“Alright then!”

Even though Fairy Linglong was bewildered, she knew that she could not go against the other party’s will.

So, she straightened her posture and took a step back before abruptly charging forward to strike the young lady with a palm strike.

Tzla!

The surrounding space ripped apart as though it was as flimsy as a sheet of paper, causing a black dimension rift to appear on the young lady.

Yet, the dimension rift did nothing to faze the young lady at all. It was almost as if she did not exist in the world.

“One,” the white-robed young lady uttered nonchalantly.

Fairy Linglong was taken aback to see that her attack was not able to faze the other party. Biting her lips, she did not dare hold back at all. She lifted both of her fists and struck down on her opponent simultaneously.

In terms of strength and talent, she was ranked among the top few in the Nine God Monarchs. Even the Cloud Dragon Monarch would have to tread carefully around her.

With her fusing her entire strength into both of her fists, a destructive prowess wreaked havoc upon the world. Her assault did not just cause a dimension rift anymore; instead, the space that stood in her path was all disintegrated into fine dust.

Stable space was one of the foundations of life. The act of tearing down space was the act of destroying all life within that space.

However, the white-robed young lady still did not make a move at all. She allowed the destructive force to ripple through her body, but it did not even leave a trace on her.

“Two,” the white-robed young lady counted.

Knowing that this was her last move, Fairy Linglong extracted a droplet of blood from her glabella and set it ablaze. The next instant, her aura surged furiously.

Gathering all her strength into her palm, she struck down once more.

This time, her palm strike was at least two times stronger than her first attack, but instead of shattering or disintegrating, the space distorted this time around.

The palm strike landed squarely on top of the white-robed young lady, but the latter remained rooted to the spot, not affected by the offense.

A voice echoed by Fairy Linglong’s ear. “Three.”

Then, the white-robed young lady lifted her finger and flicked it.

Peng!

Fairy Linglong was immediately sent flying. Blood spewed from her mouth as she tumbled through the air before crashing heavily onto the ground with a pale face.

This single strike had left her with severe injuries.

It was obvious that the two of them were not on the same level.

Enduring her pain, Fairy Linglong gritted her teeth and rose to her feet. She lowered her head and said, “God Monarch Lingxi, thank you for your guidance… If I may ask, have I done something wrong?”

The God Monarch of the Sky of Freedom rarely summoned the other God Monarchs.

The fact that the other party had called her all the way here only to treat her in such a manner… it could only mean that she had done something that displeased the other party.

But the issue was that…

I don’t even know what I have done to offend you! Why don’t you at least tell me what I have done so that I can take note of it in the future?

You called me here and started pummeling me without telling me the reason…

What am I supposed to make of this?

“You need to work a lot harder if you wish to teach me a lesson. Your current strength… is still far from sufficient!”

Leaving those words behind, the white-robed young lady morphed into a droplet of clear water and fell to the ground.

To think that the opponent she had been facing all this while was a clone made out of a mere droplet of water!

The God Monarch of the Sky of Freedom was indeed on a different level from the rest of the God Monarchs.

While she was astonished by the prowess displayed by God Monarch Lingxi, she could not help but be baffled by the words of the other party.

Teach you a lesson?

Given your prowess, I wouldn’t dare to teach you a lesson even if someone were to inflate my guts by tenfold!

Wait a moment… It was right after I muttered to myself that I would teach the person whom Zhang Xuan likes a lesson that the golden board appeared and summoned me here… Could it be that…

A look of horror suddenly appeared on Fairy Linglong’s face.

If what she was thinking right now was really true, then Zhang Xuan was truly a terrifying individual.

To have such a tamed beast and such a girlfriend…

Was he really just a high-tier Celestial God?

It feels like nothing is going right for me these days. I really should try my best to steer clear of that fellow in the future…

Fairy Linglong was not sure whether her conjecture was right, and she dared not verify it. In any case, it was best to avoid trouble wherever possible.

Sighing deeply, she waved her hand and returned to the Sky of Linglong.

Shortly after she returned to her palace, a middle-aged lady suddenly rushed into the room and kneeled before her. “My deepest congratulations, Your Sovereignty!”

“Congratulations?”

A Conferred God King of hers had just been killed, but she had not been able to deal with the culprit, and just a moment ago, she had been summoned to the Sky of Freedom, only to get pummeled.

She could not think of anything that could lift her spirits at a moment like this.

Your Sovereignty, the two people whom you brought back from the Celestial Mountain have been cultivating in the Spacetime Mirror, and just a moment ago, they managed to reach God King realm pinnacle while clearing the trial,” the middle-aged lady reported.

“They’ve cleared the trial?” Fairy Linglong’s eyes widened in surprise before a delighted smile emerged on her face.

This was indeed the best news that she could have received heard after the day of setbacks.

She had picked out two talented cultivators from the Celestial Mountain, and she had devoted a lot of resources to groom them. With their breakthrough, the Sky of Linglong would be in a much better position in the upcoming Flood of Spiritual Energy.

At the very least, they would not be forced to take a passive position as they did previously.

“Let’s head over there to take a look,” Fairy Linglong said as she quickly made her way over to the Spacetime Mirror.

On the outside, the Spacetime Mirror appeared to be no different from an ordinary mirror. Concealed within it, however, was a dimension where time flowed ten thousand times faster than that of the Firmament.

In other words, several hundred years had already passed for those two cultivators ever since she brought them back from the Celestial Mountain.

It was truly an impressive feat for those two people, who had barely reached the God realm when she first brought them to the Sky of Linglong, to reach God King realm pinnacle within just several hundred years. Hu!

With a thought, she brought the two cultivators inside the Spacetime Mirror out.

They were two ladies.

One looked quiet and reserved whereas the other one emanated a frostily cold vibe.

Despite having spent hundreds of years within the Spacetime Mirror, it did not seem like the passing of years had left its mark on them. They still looked almost the same as they did when they first entered the Spacetime Mirror.

As soon as they appeared from the mirror, auras powerful enough to tear apart the fabric of space burst forth from their bodies.

Despite only being at God King realm pinnacle, the auras they emanated were already even more powerful than those of normal Conferred God Kings.

Be it their cultivation techniques or their temperament, they were indeed ideal candidates for conferment.

The more Fairy Linglong looked at them, the more satisfied she was with them.

She looked at them with eyes filled with anticipation as she said, “The two of you have already reached God King realm pinnacle, which means that you are strong enough to bear the power of conferment. Are you willing to become my Conferred God Kings?”
