Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1017 - 1015: Coordinates Obtained [First Update]
Chapter 1017: Chapter 1015: Coordinates Obtained [First Update]
"You must be cautious with every opportunity and choice, because you never know whether tomorrow or an accident will arrive first!"
The words of the Master were not heavy, but were heartfelt and sincere advice.
They buzzed incessantly in Xiao Yi’s ears.
Bits and pieces from his journey thus far began to surface in his mind...
Ever since he obtained the Eternal Ancient Tomb, his journey had been extremely smooth.
Even when he encountered numerous difficulties and obstacles, he had always managed to turn danger into safety in the end.
But.
Who could say for sure whether such smooth sailing, or rather "luck," would one day run out?
If there came a day when luck truly ran dry.
What should he do when facing danger and obstacles again?
Just as the Master said...
No one knows whether an accident or tomorrow will arrive first!
Even Fang Tianmiao, who was said to foresee ten thousand years ahead and calculate five hundred years into the future with no strategy omitted, did not foresee that after meeting Xiao Yi, he would suffer a heavy injury and nearly lose his life.
Now, doesn’t he need to return to his clan and use the source stones given by Xiao Yi to recover from his injuries?
Hu!
Xiao Yi exhaled a long breath, looking at the Master with a few extra degrees of respect for an elder.
Before this.
He had regarded himself as an equal to the Master.
After all.
He was the current Buddhist King, and Master Nantian, in terms of status, was on a par with the Buddha. Only now, through this contact, did Xiao Yi understand that although they were both strong beings of the Sacred Venerate Realm.
But Master Nantian truly regarded him as an excellent junior to be nurtured.
In contrast to the Buddha and the Buddhist Mother...
They were more concerned with weighing the interests of Buddhism and the deterrence brought about by Xiao Yi’s ability to build a Buddha Island in the Boundless Buddha Sea and gather the Supreme Holy Buddha Dharma Image!
This is probably why the Buddha and the Buddhist Mother never mentioned these matters to Xiao Yi!
At this thought.
Xiao Yi took two steps back, brought his hands together at his chest, and bowed to the Master with meticulous respect, saying, "Thank you for the Master’s guidance. Without your awakening, Xiao Yi might have taken many wrong paths!"
The Master waved his hand, feeling gratified that Xiao Yi understood his intentions, and chuckled, "You are still young, and there are many crossroads in life where you need to make choices. It is very normal to occasionally make the wrong decision. When I was young, I, too, took many wrong paths!"
Xiao Yi responded with a sound.
The Master smiled and continued, "Xiao Yi, have you decided now? Are you willing to become the second Master of Nantian Sacred Land?"
Xiao Yi shook his head slightly. Previously, he indeed felt that he was qualified to sit in the position of the second Master and be on equal footing with Master Nantian. But now, he had changed his mind: "Let’s wait a bit longer. When I achieve the Sacred Venerate, then I will ask the Master for the position of the second Master!"
"Oh?"
The Master was taken aback, looking Xiao Yi up and down seriously. His eyes shone with approval, and he laughed heartily, "Very good, very good, truly a hero comes from youth. Even knowing the difficulty of the path to sainthood, you still have such confidence. This is great news. However, I have said beforehand, if you miss this opportunity, and if Tian Huang reaches the Sacred Venerate Realm first, then you can only compete for the position of the third Master later on!"
Ge Tianhuang also raised an eyebrow at Xiao Yi, clenched his fist, and said, "I am about to go with the Master to the external battlefield. Who knows, maybe the next time we meet, I will have become a Sacred Venerate. Do you really have no regrets?"
"Well, let us see who reaches the Sacred Venerate Realm first!" Xiao Yi said confidently, smiling with his mouth wide open.
"Hahaha..."
The three exchanged smiles.
After a hearty discussion.
The Master looked at Ge Tianhuang: "Tian Huang, go back and take care of the matters in the Heavenly Realm first. Tomorrow you will accompany this avatar of mine to the external battlefield!"
"Yes!"
Ge Tianhuang cupped his fists towards Xiao Yi and then retreated.
Inside the Master’s mansion, only Xiao Yi and the Master remained.
The Master tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, looked up at Xiao Yi, and with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, asked, "Zou Shaolong said that you want to visit Heavenly White Jade Capital?"
"Yes!"
Xiao Yi made an acknowledgment and then informed the Master of the general situation between him and Fang Qingzhu.
Well...
The Master’s face stiffened.
He looked at Xiao Yi with an odd expression, also not expecting Xiao Yi to have such good fortune, to have met the widow of the illustrious master of Heavenly White Jade Capital in such an unlikely place, "This Master of White Jade Capital is also legendary. In the era after ancient times, if it weren’t for that person from the Endless Horizon Pavilion, he would have been the most astonishing figure. It’s just a pity that this person was too secretive and selfish; of the six Great Sacred Lands, only his White Jade Capital refused to dispatch Sacred Venerate beings to hold the fort in the external battlefield..."
When mentioning the Master of White Jade Capital, a clear dissatisfaction emerged on Master Nantian’s face.
However, thinking of Xiao Yi’s relationship with Fang Qingzhu.
Talking ill of one’s father-in-law in front of his son-in-law seems somewhat improper. The Master cleared his throat, and with a flip of his hand, he produced a white jade slip. Without a sound, he imprinted it with a set of coordinates using the power of his innate ability, "The coordinates to White Jade Capital are here, but there is one thing I must remind you of: the people of White Jade Capital are very insular. Even though you have the coordinates to find the place, you might not necessarily be able to see your wife..."
Xiao Yi carefully received the jade slip, absolutely seeing the reason in the Master’s reminder.
Initially, when he followed Fang Qingzhu back to Southern State, the Baiyu experts had already let him know what kind of people those high and mighty disciples from Baiyu really were.
If one says...
In the eyes of the creatures in Nantian Holy Land, the people on the land of Southern State are merely ants.
Then in the eyes of Baiyu people.
Apart from Baiyu, all else are ants!
After all.
That phrase "Heavenly White Jade Capital" isn’t just lip service!
Xiao Yi tightened his grip on the jade slip in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly curling up, his eyes narrowing into slits emitting cold light as he sneered, "This trip to Baiyu, I will not only see Qingzhu but also bring her back to my side. Anyone who dares to block my way shall be killed without mercy..."
He could never forget that prophecy Fang Tianmiao had made.
Three years later.
Fang Qingzhu ends up one body, two lives.
Xiao Yi consequently falls into deviltry.
Becoming a demon that plagues the Qingtian Realm.
He...
Can turn into a demon!
But...
Fang Qingzhu must absolutely not come to harm!
If the people of Baiyu truly dare to impede, then he won’t hesitate to embark on a massacre...
An incredibly terrifying.
Killing intent, powerful enough to move even a Saint Lord, flashed across him for a moment.
The Saint Lord swallowed and gazed deeply at Xiao Yi, worrying for Baiyu internally: "Baiyu... be careful with your actions!"
After bidding farewell to the Saint Lord.
Xiao Yi returned to the Qiu residence.
Qiu Yiyun was enjoying gifts sent to them by Zuo Xiong with Ning Delun, a pile of gifts of immense value. Ning Delun remarked with emotion, "It’s great to have the backing of a powerful supporter! Look... the patriarch Zuo, who used to disdain me, is now personally delivering gifts to me..."
Just thinking, he was close to a broken family and lost life yesterday.
Yet now, even the once formidable figure, the head of Zuo’s Business Firm, must humbly address him as Master Ning, hoping for a good word to be said on behalf of Zuo’s Business Firm to Xiao Yi.
Ning Delun’s emotions grew increasingly profound.
"What’s the big deal about that... As long as you follow Lord Xiao closely, let alone Zuo Xiong, even I would have to treat you with utmost respect in your presence!" Qiu Yiyun snorted. He had heard rumours that the Saint Lord intended to make Xiao Yi the next Saint Lord.
That’s the Saint Lord we’re talking about!
In front of Xiao Yi, even Zou Shaolong would just be a little brother!
"What are you chatting about? Sounds like fun?" Xiao Yi’s voice came from outside the door.
Both hurried to their feet and respectfully said, "Lord Xiao, you’ve returned?"
Xiao Yi hummed in response, indicating for both to sit, and as he looked at the gifts beside, he raised an eyebrow, "Who’s so generous to send such a slew of things?"
Qiu Yiyun immediately recounted the matter.
Xiao Yi chuckled: "Zuo Xiong has indeed been generous!"
He had just compensated fifty thousand yuan stones, and now he had spent a fortune to ingratiate himself with Qiu Yiyun and Ning Delun. Zuo Xiong was indeed capable of holding the seat of the head of Zuo’s Business Firm.
Ning Delun said, "Lord Xiao, I haven’t touched any of these gifts, please look at the list..."
"No need, since they’re gifts to you, you just keep them with peace of mind!"
Xiao Yi waved his hand; he didn’t care for these things and then turned to look at Ning Delun, "Old Ning, rest well tonight, we have to set off tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow? I understand!" Ning Delun nodded quickly.
Qiu Yiyun also knew about their journey to the North Sea to search for the dragon tomb. With a shift of his eyes, he said with a grin, "Lord Xiao, may I follow you on the trip?"
"You want to go too?" Xiao Yi was surprised.
He then understood that Qiu Yiyun was set on sticking with him!
Upon further thought.
After all, this guy was at the Peak of Earth Revered Realm and was quite familiar with him, and he was bound to take over the Nantian Holy Land in the future. Since that was the case, it wouldn’t hurt to start cultivating some support early on.
He then nodded his head.
Xiao Yi got up and walked towards the courtyard, speaking indifferently, "I’m going to rest, we’ll leave at dawn tomorrow!"
"Thank you, Lord Xiao!"
Ning Delun and Qiu Yiyun looked at each other with joy.
At this moment...
The two men had no idea that this decision made today would change their lives forever...
