762 - 768

Chapter 762

However, they did not even have a chance to feel shocked as the Saint Energy Galaxia descended from the sky and continuously rained on them. It eliminated all the impurities in their bodies. With the support from the energy of the mysterious Star Reflection, the two ladies' cultivations increased at a shocking speed.

Because Shangguan Bing'er had followed Zhou Weiqing to the Mysterious Heavenly Mainland, her cultivation base was higher than Tian'er. However, her current cultivation speed was no match for Tian'er.

Followed by a soft moan from Tian'er, a faint starlight radiated from her body. Striking colors mixed with nebula energy also appeared on her chest. The striking starlight was circulating at a high speed. With every spin, it absorbed as much Saint Energy Galaxia in the air as it could. She had also absorbed a portion of the reddish golden energy released by Zhou Weiqing during his elevation process.

Long Shiya's jaw almost dropped when he witnessed the scene in the sky. He exclaimed, "Heavens! The two ladies are solidifying their Heavenly Nucleus Core. We've been living our lives in vain. If they succeed, there'll be three Heavenly King-tier powerhouses in their twenties."

He could see that Zhou Weiqing's condition had stabilized with Tian'er's assistance.

Demonic Emperor Wu Yunyue said bitterly, "It's not three Heavenly King-tier powerhouses. It's two Heavenly Kings and a Heavenly Emperor in his twenties. Heavenly Emperor! Do you know how much I feel like yelling at someone right now? What the f*ck! Why didn't I meet this youngster earlier? If I did, there's a possibility that he might wind up being my disciple instead."

Long Shiya spared a glance at Wu Yunyue and said gleefully, "You've no choice in this. I'm luckier, and I have a better eye for discerning people with great talent. Now, no one can snatch my beloved disciple away from me. On the mainland, no one else is qualified to be his teacher anymore. Wu, it's not yet time for us to rest. Ask your Heavenly King subordinates to leave. We'll protect the three of them. As long as they succeed in upgrading, we'll no longer have anything to worry about even if Blood Red Hell sends another batch of their men here."

Although Wu Yunyue was really jealous of Long Shiya, he was in high spirit at this moment. When he was looking at Zhou Weiqing who was about to evolve into a Heavenly Emperor, he came to a conclusion. He felt relieved after the decision had been made. It had been a long time since he was in such a great mood.

He said while laughing out loud, "Brother Long, what's your purpose of becoming a Heavenly Emperor or Heavenly King-tier powerhouse? Even if the Blood Red Hell has been concealing much of their powers all these years, they'll definitely be dealt a fatal blow this time. Moreover, since we've annihilated all of them, who knows how long it'll take for the news to reach them. Besides, I believe that even if Blood Red Hell has gotten hold of the information, they won't dare to send anyone here. The Heavenly Bow Empire is different from the Heavenly Demon Sect. Zhou Weiqing has good relationships with the Heaven's Expanse Palace and the Heavenly Snow Mountain. Blood Red Hell has already failed the first time. Even if they wish to invoke another battle, they have to take the power of those two Great Saint Lands into consideration as well."

As he was speaking, Wu Yunyue had already relayed his order to dismiss the remaining few Heavenly Kings. At the same time, he and Long Shiya guarded the place together as they observed the miraculous scene of Zhou Weiqing's breakthrough. At that moment, Wu Yunyue and his six Heavenly Kings had an odd feeling. All of the injuries on their bodies were healing at a terrifying speed. Apart from that, there was a faint feeling that their personal cultivation base was rising as well. Without a doubt, this was all due to the Saint Energy Galaxia that Zhou Weiqing released into their bodies. Due to the infusion of energy, their personal energy had improved significantly.

They developed a deep admiration for Zhou Weiqing and no longer had any doubts because of the wonders that Zhou Weiqing had demonstrated. Wu Yunyue believed that his decision would not encounter any obstacles at all. The starlight in the sky remained for a day and a night before it gradually dimmed. The first few whose glow started to dim were Zhou Weiqing and Tian'er. It took Zhou Weiqing a very long time to advance to the Heavenly King Tier back then. However, he had the Star Reflection's support in the sky this time. The fact was that this breakthrough was fueled by the Star Reflection energy that he had accumulated himself. That was the reason why the speed of his breakthrough was a lot faster. The most important factor was Tian'er. The mysterious energy that radiated from Tian'er allowed Zhou Weiqing to complete the qualitative changes of his own nebula in such a short period of time.

At that moment, the Starcrux Saint Nucleus Core in Zhou Weiqing's body changed. The ball of Starcrux Saint Nucleus Core had turned into an actual nebula. Although there was a nebula in his body previously, the Starcrux Saint Nucleus Core was the core while the Saint Energy Galaxia revolved around it. However, it was now a complete Starcrux Saint Nucleus Core that was in the form of a nebula completely. Apart from that, Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy Galaxia underwent the biggest change. Its original golden color had changed into a reddish golden color. The changes in color also signified the qualitative changes in his power as well.

Zhou Weiqing could not tell the extent of improvement the power in his cultivation base. All he knew was that if he was to judge in terms of energy strength, his current level was definitely not at the Lower-Level Heavenly Emperor Tier but at least at the Mid-Level Heavenly Emperor Tier. The reason why it rose to such a degree at once was due to the Star Reflection brought upon by Tian'er.

The benefits Tian'er gained were much greater than what Zhou Weiqing had gained. Initially, she still had a long way to go before reaching the Heavenly King-tier cultivation base. However, she managed to break through this time and upgraded instantly. The progress was so simple that even Zhou Weiqing was a little envious of her. Her breakthrough was even faster than the time Zhou Weiqing had his breakthrough on the Mysterious Heavenly Mainland.

When Zhou Weiqing regained his consciousness, he first looked at Shangguan Bing'er who was nearby. She was still in the process of upgrading. He also saw Shangguan Xue'er and Shangguan Fei'er but he had no idea when they had gotten here. At that moment, they were both being condensed within the Saint Energy Galaxia in the sky. After that, he started caressing Tian'er's tummy.

"Tian'er, how is it? Is our child all right?"

Upon hearing Zhou Weiqing's concerned voice, Tian'er instinctively looked at her tummy. To be honest, she did not think about it too much when she and Shangguan Bing'er came to rescue Zhou Weiqing. All she had on her mind was to rescue him and to help him complete his breakthrough. Tian'er had only realized the danger when Zhou Weiqing released a massive amount of Saint Energy into her body. What if the massive amount of energy that entered her body was harmful to the child?

However, Tian'er made up her mind at that moment. They could always conceive another child but she would never get her husband back if she lost him. Therefore, at that instant, Tian'er decided to bear the pain in her heart and stayed on. Something happened as soon as she made that decision. As if her body could feel the sadness in her heart, her tummy moved slightly and Saint Energy that was even more powerful than Zhou Weiqing's appeared. Tian'er was very sure that the changes in the nebula, as well as her tremendous breakthrough, came from the gush of energy in her tummy.

As she gently caressed her tummy, Tian'er was still stunned as she mumbled, "The child is fine. Better than before. The child seems to be absorbing a lot of Saint Energy Galaxia! I couldn't feel his life aura previously but I can feel it clearly now. If I'm not mistaken, the child may arrive earlier than the date father gave us."

Zhou Weiqing was relieved to hear that the child was fine. At that moment, he was so emotional that he was completely speechless as he hugged Tian'er tightly. The nebula in the sky was fading gradually, it was a sign that it was disappearing. Zhou Weiqing looked up at the sky, a reddish gold glow flashed in his eyes as a dazzling reddish golden starlight emitted from his body and enveloped the Shangguan Triplets within it.

Shangguan Xue'er and Shangguan Fei'er had arrived late. They were not here to take advantage of the situation but to the help them if something went wrong because they had Saint Energy in their bodies as well. Although Shangguan Xue'er could not fly yet, with the Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor's help, she could float in the sky temporarily. The two sisters were ready to inject Saint Energy into Zhou Weiqing whenever he needed it.

Perhaps it was true, no good deed goes unrewarded. Although they did not get the first course, they did not miss the main course. Taking in the powerful Saint Energy Galaxia in the air and the Saint Energy's reaction in their bodies, they naturally would not give up such a great opportunity because they were smart. The only downside was that they were late so it was impossible for them to break through to Heavenly King Tier now. Nevertheless, both of them had reached Maximum Level Ninth Jewel.

Under the protection of Zhou Weiqing's reddish-gold light, Shangguan Xue'er and Shangguan Fei'er soon woke up from their cultivation. They would not fall with the protection of Zhou Weiqing's reddish-gold Saint Energy. Zhou Weiqing found out that if before this he could control Atmospheric Energy and even the Atmospheric Energy that Heavenly King and Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouses were controlling when he was at Heavenly King Tier, then now he could directly control the Saint Energy within heaven and earth.

He could not feel it at all when he was at Heavenly King Tier. Breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor Tier had increased his perception immensely. His ability to sense became broader in scope and was more detailed. He could clearly feel all the energy waves in the air. He could even sense the trace amount of Saint Energy that existed on heaven and earth. The Saint Energy had been lingering in the air ever since the world was created. Its amount was one-thousandth of normal Atmospheric Energy. Even a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse would not be able to sense its existence. After Zhou Weiqing had broken through to the Heavenly Emperor Tier and his Nucleus Core transformed into an actual Nebula Saint Nucleus Core, he could finally feel the pure Creation Energy. The Perception would greatly benefit his cultivation in the future.

Chapter 763

Shangguan Bing'er needed some time to wake up as it was difficult to upgrade to the Heavenly King Tier after all. She did not have the extremely pure Saint Energy like Tian'er, hence she needed some time. Zhou Weiqing brought the three ladies down from the sky and he let out a long sigh after they descended to the ground. He held Tian'er tightly in his arms and kissed her softly on her forehead. If Tian'er did not get to him in time, he would have been badly injured even if he did not die. As soon as something went wrong with his soul, no matter how miraculous his Saint Energy was, it could have resulted in death for him. Although the Star Reflection was good, it also had to be used at the right time!

Although the upgrade was successful, Zhou Weiqing was exhausted at the moment. It might seem like he had everything under control in the battle today. However, the reality was he had expended a lot of effort. He could not afford to make any mistakes or else it would be disastrous. Especially in the beginning, if he did not bait them by surrendering as a whole, it would have been impossible for him to get the opportunity to fight one-on-one with the people from Blood Red Hell.

Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor Long Shiya and Demonic Emperor Wu Yunyue approached him together. Long Shiya's eyes were sparkling when he looked at his beloved disciple. He could not be more satisfied with him. Wu Yunyue smiled and bowed slightly to Zhou Weiqing, "Weiqing, thank you very much. I agree with the suggestion that you mentioned earlier."

Zhou Weiqing forced out a smile and said, "Alright, let's talk about it when we get back. I need to rest."

The three ladies around him felt sorry when they saw how exhausted he was. Shangguan Xue'er looked at Shangguan Fei'er and said, "Go back with Tian'er. We'll stay here to look after third sister."

"Alright." Zhou Weiqing nodded to them. At that moment, he felt like he could not open his eyes at all. The energy drain and the upgrade overwhelmed and exhausted him. All he wanted to do at that moment was to get a good sleep.

When he got back to the Heavenly Bow City, Zhou Weiqing fell asleep almost as soon as he went into his room. He slept for a day and a night. The Heavenly Bow Empire went to work immediately. They locked down all information regarding the battle earlier so that Blood Red Hell would only receive the news at a later time. At the same time, Shangguan Xue'er personally wrote a letter to the Heaven's Expanse Palace to inform them about what happened. However, it was hard to guess what Shangguan Xue'er's priorities were because she neglected to inform them of the most important news; Zhou Weiqing had broken through to the Heavenly Emperor Tier. Perhaps she had subconsciously treated him like family ever since he had helped in alleviating her stress.

Shangguan Bing'er's breakthrough was still ongoing. It had not ended even after Zhou Weiqing

had woken up from his sleep.

"That felt so good." Zhou Weiqing woke up from his sleep and stretched his body with all his might.

"Wait, that's not right." He hid his aura instinctively and looked at his surroundings. Tian'er who was lying next to him was woken up by his actions. She could not help but burst out laughing when she looked at Zhou Weiqing.

"Our bedroom might turn into ashes if you continue stretching a little longer."

Since Zhou Weiqing had just entered the Heavenly Emperor Tier, he had yet to have control over his aura. The simple act of him stretching had caused a rampage in the Atmospheric Energy where massive amounts of Atmospheric Energy rushed towards him. If he did not stop in time, the building might have collapsed directly from the overly rich and dense Atmospheric Energy.

Zhou Weiqing pulled Tian'er who was laughing into his embrace softly. "Thank you, Tian'er. If it wasn't for you the other day, perhaps…"

Tian'er rolled her eyes with annoyance, "Do we need to thank each other? Just don't leave me behind next time when you head out."

Zhou Weiqing then placed his hand carefully on Tian'er's tummy, "Is our child really alright?"

Tian'er nodded and placed her hand on top of Zhou Weiqing's. There was a motherly glow on her beautiful face.

"Not only is our child fine, it's a lot more active than before. It didn't move at all previously but now it'll move occasionally. What's with the Saint Energy the other day? How did our child release such a pure energy? It seems like it's even purer than your Saint Energy after upgrading to the Heavenly Emperor Tier."

Zhou Weiqing forced out a smile and said, "I've no idea but I'm sure if I can trade my Saint Energy with an energy so pure, I'll definitely surpass a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse. I've always thought that I'm talented but it seems like there's a huge gap between me and our child! This little fellow is already so powerful even before it's even born. Won't it surpass my ability once it's born?"

The both of them looked at each other, feeling confused. They found it hard to believe that a child that was just born would possess an ability that was beyond that of a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse. However, the extremely pure Saint Energy it gave off could not be simulated. Zhou Weiqing knew even his father-in-law, the Mountain Lord of Heavenly Snow Mountain, pure energy that the child released seemingly out of nowhere.

Zhou Weiqing lay down with Tian'er in his embrace. He started touching her as he lowered his head next to her ear and said, "My dear, I want to go inside and see our child."

"You're so naughty…" Tian'er was so shy that her face turned red.

"I'll be careful. Look, none of you accompanied me these past few days. I've been miserable! Come here…"

A faint scent of arousal was released into the air. A pregnant woman could get sexually aroused as well, in fact sometimes even more than a normal woman. Zhou Weiqing took her gently as the scent of arousal filled the entire room.

In the Heavenly Bow Empire Admiral meeting room, Zhou Weiqing instructed someone to get the Demonic Emperor Wu Yunyue to see him. The most important battle had ended so it was time to settle the other matter. Besides, that was also the main reason why Zhou Weiqing came back this time. What he said to Di Feng Ling was not a joke, it was his goal.

Although the Heavenly Bow Empire now possessed a powerful army, it was still a small country after all and the foundation was not deep enough. Zhou Weiqing was not greedy but he sure hoped that his homeland could grow. It was absolute, like how greatness was dependent on one's ability. If the Heavenly Bow Empire could have a Saint Land of its own, who would dare to casually invade in the future? Not only that, Zhou Weiqing wanted to build places like a Storing Palace and a Consolidated Pavilion in the Heavenly Bow Empire. Perhaps it would not instantly attract many Heavenly Jewel Masters here. However, it was crucial for a country's development.

Wu Yunyue was all smiles as he walked into the room and said to Zhou Weiqing, "Weiqing, you've gotten your rest? I hope all is well with you."

Zhou Weiqing chuckled, "My rest wasn't bad or I wouldn't have invited you here so soon."

The truth was Wu Yunyue had long noticed that Zhou Weiqing was up when he released a wave of Heavenly Emperor-tier energy as he woke up. This kid took almost four hours to get here, how was that considered soon?

Naturally, Wu Yunyue did not expose him. To him, this Zhou Weiqing kid had his share of flaws, being promiscuous in particular. However, in this world, every powerhouse had a companion from the opposite sex with them. It was the same in the Heavenly Beast world. The more powerful a Heavenly Beast was, the more companions it would have. Zhou Weiqing was undoubtedly powerful. Wu Yunyue would have found it strange if he only had one woman.

Wu Yunyue instantly cut to the chase as he said, "Weiqing, I've told you the other day that I agreed with your suggestion. Ever since we've defeated the Blood Red Hell, I've discussed this with everyone. Everyone agreed to you taking over our Heavenly Demon Sect."

Zhou Weiqing chuckled and said, "Sir, you're too kind. If that's the case, there's naturally no problem on my side. Regarding the new name of our Heavenly Demon Sect, do you have any suggestions on what we should change it to?"

Demonic Emperor Wu Yunyue smiled even wider when he heard Zhou Weiqing said the word 'our'. He had given up on managing the Heavenly Demon Sect, why would he still bother with the matter of who should rename it?

"Sect Master, it's better if you come up with the name. However, I'd love to be the Deputy Sect Master! Hehe."

Zhou Weiqing smiled secretly. It made sense that this sly fox still could not relinquish all of his power.

"I've thought about it before. I started off by depending on the Peerless Unit. It was then renamed as the Peerless Regiment. Although Physical Jewel Masters occupy most of the Peerless Regiment, the Peerless Unit is made up of Jewel Masters. Since we've decided to merge the Heavenly Demon Sect, let's just call it Peerless Sect. What do you think?"

"Peerless Sect?" Demonic Emperor Wu Yunyue sighed secretly. He knew that as soon as he gave his consent, the Heavenly Demon Sect would be history. However, he had no other choice now. He could at least keep some of his dignity and preserve the Heavenly Demon Sect's legacy if he collaborated with Zhou Weiqing. If he gave this collaboration up, the other Saint Lands might not show mercy to the Heavenly Demon Sect and Blood Red Hell might attack them.

Zhou Weiqing was calm as he watched the Demonic Emperor struggle with his emotions. Nobody would be happy to have a Saint Land of an entire generation change its name.

"Father-in-law, there's another matter that I need to discuss with you. Yuehan had given her body to me so I'll definitely take responsibility for that. Besides, I like her very much. All of my wives come from Saint Lands so I can't be taking sides. This is my plan. It won't be long until the next Saint Land competition. I'm planning to organize my wedding directly after the competition and marry all of them. They'll all be on equal standing. There won't be a ranking system and the matter of who comes first. What do you think?"

Chapter 764

Zhou Weiqing had completely awakened Wu Yunyue by addressing him as his father-in-law. Yes! This young man was his son-in-law after all. What more could he ask for since the heir of the Heavenly Demon Sect would be his grandchildren if he passed the sect down to Zhou Weiqing? Besides, even though this young man's future was unpredictable, he was sure that as long as Zhou Weiqing was alive, he would definitely surpass the Mountain Lord of Heavenly Snow Mountain one day and would need his guidance.

"Sure. It's all set then. My child Yuehan has her heart set on you since the beginning. Weiqing, please treat her well. I'll call you by your name in private but in public, I'll address you as Sect Master."

Zhou Weiqing chuckled and said, "Then our Peerless Sect shall be established today. Dear father-in-law, I know you feel sorry because this is something you've built throughout your life. I can guarantee that you won't regret the decision that you made today. Very soon in the future, the Peerless Sect will definitely become the most powerful in the Boundless Mainland. It would truly be the No.1 Saint Land."

Wu Yunyue's body shivered slightly and there was a sparkle in his eyes. He nodded to Zhou Weiqing and said, "I'll wait for that day to come. I'll get Ming Yu to pass you the name list of the members who survived. From now on, they're all your subordinates.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for fulfilling my wish." Zhou Weiqing then bowed at Wu Yunyue.

Wu Yunyue stood up and left after nodding at him. He needed time to heal the wound in his heart. It was a tough decision for him to make but he strongly believed that his decision was right. At least among the Saint Lands, he was the only one who merged with Zhou Weiqing. Perhaps since his daughter would only come after the rest of his wives, his sincerity was incomparable to the Heaven's Expanse Palace and Mountain Lord of Heavenly Snow Mountain. Perhaps things would prove itself in the Saint Land competition that was happening soon.

"The discussion is over?" Long Shiya's magnetic voice sounded. His plump body appeared in the room in a flash.

"Master." Zhou Weiqing greeted his teacher. He helped Long Shiya to the main seat as he chuckled.

"Why is it that I feel that your smile is very cunning!" Long Shiya teased.

Zhou Weiqing chuckled again, "How is it even cunning? Even if it is, I learned it from you! I'm your disciple after all."

Long Shiya said in an annoyed voice "Oh please, I didn't teach you this. Your mischievous behavior was taught by Mu En. I'm considered kind because I didn't teach him a lesson. Though I must admit, your father has a broad vision. Although you bastards are always doing embarrassing things, at least your survival skills will grow even stronger. Tell me, what do you need from me. Stop smiling at me like that. I'm scared."

Zhou Weiqing switched to a playful expression, "Master, you know me so well! Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that I think you're not young anymore. It's not good for you to wander around. I'll need to plan for your retirement as your disciple! Why don't you stay here? Don't leave anymore. I'll do my best to get my wives to give birth to some children to entertain you. What do you think of that?"

Long Shiya burst out laughing and said, "Oh, please. Don't think that I don't know what your plans are. You want me to support you in the Peerless Sect now that you've gotten the Demonic Emperor to hand the sect over to you."

Zhou Weiqing pretended to be shocked, "Master, can you predict the future? However, I don't expect you to manage the sect for me! All I want is to be filial. Please give me this chance. Moreover, what's mine is yours as well. As long as you're willing, you'll naturally be the Peerless Sect Master."

"Pfft, please. Aren't you taking away my freedom by asking me to be the Sect Master? I won't, and I don't want to do it. I've been enjoying freedom all my life. Why would I work for you, you little bastard? Especially when I'm already so old."

Long Shiya rolled his eyes and ignored Zhou Weiqing's begging. He knew this kid too well so he did not want to fall into his trap. The Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor was a free bird. Almost all of the Saint Lands had invited him but none had piqued his interest. Moreover, his disciple had matured now. He did not think he would be able to help even if he stayed. However, he was interested in the retirement plan that Zhou Weiqing mentioned. After all, he was not young anymore. Even though Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy had rejuvenated him, his mentality was no longer young.

Zhou Weiqing looked at his master and suddenly turned ferocious, "Master, please don't force me."

Long Shiya was stunned to see such an expression on Zhou Weiqing's face that seemingly came out of nowhere. He scoffed and teased, "Stop pretending. So what if I'm forcing you? I'll still force you no matter what."

"So you're forcing me to perform my ultimate move!" Zhou Weiqing was enraged.

Long Shiya then looked at him in shock, "What kind of ultimate move can you perform to make me obey you? Please show me! I'd love to see it. I don't believe anyone can threaten me. No one has been able to threaten me all my life. Bastard, could you be the exception?"

Zhou Weiqing then put away the rage on his face and sighed, "Alright then, seems like you're better than me. In that case, forget about it. I was planning to have one of my children take your family name Long and give it to you as your grandchild. But… since you're unwilling to stay, I think I won't be able to be filial to you. You can leave if you want to. Since you want your freedom, as your disciple it's not nice for me to stop you."

"That sounds about right." Long Shiya smiled gleefully. Suddenly, his face turned stiff. He turned around and grabbed Zhou Weiqing who was about to leave, "Wait, wait a minute. What did you say just now? What grandchild and grandfather. I didn't hear you clearly."

His head was clouded with happiness since he thought there was no way that Zhou Weiqing could threaten him. He did not pay attention to what Zhou Weiqing was saying, and now he was stunned when he recalled what Zhou Weiqing said.

Zhou Weiqing smiled happily and said, "Nothing, nothing. Since you're leaving, it doesn't matter if I tell you or not. It's alright if you didn't hear me. I still have things to do, Master."

"You bastard, how dare you mess around with me? Tell me now, or don't you dare blame me for hurting you. Hmph." Long Shiya showed him his plump fist. Naturally, even he himself did not think it was threatening. That aside, it was possible that he could not even handle Zhou Weiqing with his current cultivation base.

Zhou Weiqing turned around and faced his master. This time, he put away the smile on his face and kneeled before Long Shiya. He then said with utmost sincerity, "Master, I really hope that you'll stay. It's not that I want you to support the Peerless Sect. You're over 100 years old now and you've been a wanderer all your life. I wish to give you a home, please stay. It's safe to say that without you, I wouldn't have been able to achieve what I've achieved. You only have disciples but not children. I'm your son, and my children will be your grandchildren. Please stay so that I can serve you. You don't need to do anything. All you have to do is enjoy your life. I'll have one of my sons bear your family name. He'll be your grandson and inherit your family name. Can I do that?"

Long Shiya looked at Zhou Weiqing blankly. Naturally, he could feel that Zhou Weiqing was being sincere at the moment. He placed one of his hands on Zhou Weiqing's shoulder. Zhou Weiqing was shocked to find that Long Shiya's hand was trembling despite his cultivation base. He then looked up at him immediately.

"Master, are you alright?"

Long Shiya looked at him with tears in his eyes. His lips were trembling but no words were coming out from his mouth.

"Master, you're scaring me!" Zhou Weiqing got closer to him and patted Long Shiya's chest immediately as he carefully infused Saint Energy into his body.

Long Shiya shook his head, "Weiqing, you're not just saying that to make me happy right? Are you being serious?"

Zhou Weiqing did not know if he should laugh or cry as he said, "Master, since when am I so mean? I'm being serious. How can I be joking?"

Long Shiya said in annoyance, "You looked sincere when you were cheating the people from Blood Red Hell the other day and they were fooled by you."

"How can you compare yourself to them! Master, I'm really not joking with you. All I want is to serve you until you're old."

Long Shiya lifted both his hands and grabbed Zhou Weiqing's shoulders tightly. Tears were streaming down his face, "Thank you, boy. It's been almost 90 years since I last felt like I was at home. My old life shall depend on you now."

"Teacher…"

Zhou Weiqing was over the moon, and he gave Long Shiya a big hug.

Long Shiya seemed to have calmed down and he said after wiping his tears, "Go, your Junior Master Duan is looking for you. You're now a Heavenly Emperor. Finish the last Ringless Ground Purging Set as soon as possible."

"Junior Master is looking for me?" Zhou Weiqing let go and looked at Long Shiya who had calmed down and immediately said, "Master, then I shall leave now."

The respect Zhou Weiqing had for Duan Tianlang was not any less than the respect he had for his master. He did not dare to delay when he heard that his Junior Master Duan was looking for him since it was rare for his Junior Master to look for him. Long Shiya waved, motioning for him to leave. Zhou Weiqing turned around and heard an indescribable chuckle behind him as he stepped out of the door, "Hahaha, hahaha, finally I'll have grandchildren. I have an heir now. Hahaha."

Zhou Weiqing was stunned when he heard the sound but soon after, he revealed a genuine smile. He knew his master too well. Although Long Shiya desired to be free, not having a family and love had always been his biggest regret. As a disciple, it was only natural that Zhou Weiqing would ease the regret for his master! How could lack children when he had five wives? Moreover, even if the son bore the Long family name, he would still be Zhou Weiqing's son.

Chapter 765

"Junior Master," Zhou Weiqing stood in front of Duan Tianlang's door. He lightly knocked the door and said respectfully.

"Come in," Duan Tianlang said from inside his room, but his voice sounded like he was exhausted.

Zhou Weiqing was startled for a little. It was only several months ago that Duan Tianlang was rejuvenated with his Saint Energy. Even though his physique could not compare to his prime, he should still be full of life, not as weak as he is currently!

Puzzled, Zhou Weiqing entered the room.

As soon as he saw Duan Tianlang, Zhou Weiqing was shocked. "Junior Master, what happened to you?" he said as he dashed beside Duan Tianlang. Zhou Weiqing grabbed Duan Tianlang's arm and started transferring his reddish-gold Saint Energy into Duan Tianlang's body.

Duan Tianlang's condition at that moment could be described as horrendous. His face was in a tint of grey, his black hair turned white, and his face was crawling with wrinkles. His eyes were dull and without life, no matter how Zhou Weiqing looked at it, he was like an old man on the brink of death.

Receiving Zhou Weiqing, Saint Energy, Duan Tianlang's body trembled as his condition improved. His life force was restored, and under the cleansing of the Saint Energy, his physical functions started to rejuvenate from its waning state.

Zhou Weiqing was aghast as he healed Duan Tianlang. He could clearly feel that if his cultivation base had not been elevated to Heavenly Emperor tier, he could at most delay Duan Tianlang's imminent death for a few months with his Saint Energy Galaxia. Saint Energy was not omnipotent, there were things that cannot be reversed. Fortunately, his reddish-gold Saint Energy was purer than before and could save Duan Tianlang from death.

The effects of his Saint Energy was immediate, Zhou Weiqing could see that Duan Tianlang was slowly recovering. The dullness in his eyes was slowly replaced by a hint of surprise.

An hour later, with Zhou Weiqing's diligence, Duan Tianlang had finally recovered enough to compare to a few months ago when Zhou Weiqing last helped him.

"Weiqing, you've improved again. I really thought I was done for this time. However, I was not doing it on purpose, it's beyond my control! Haha, you're really my lucky star!"

Duan Tianlang laughed, but Zhou Weiqing was livid, he glared at Duan Tianlang angrily. He said angrily, "Junior Master, what have you done? I had just nursed you back to health, how could you take such bad care of yourself? What exactly did you do, your body had almost fallen apart!"

Listening to Zhou Weiqing's reprimand, Duan Tianlang scratched his head embarrassedly. He sighed, "It's an old problem. I can't help it, it's so ingrained in me. Once I entered the state of researching Consolidated Equipment Scrolls, I can't stop. I think this time around I have not slept for more than a month."

"What? More than a month? Without rest? You…" Zhou Weiqing was out of words.

When Duan Tianlang said he had not slept for more than a month, it was not only that he did not sleep, he had been awake every minute of the day for a month researching Consolidated Equipment Scrolls. If it were not for that, how would Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy have depleted so quickly?

Duan Tianlang said apologetically, "It's entirely my fault. However, Weiqing, let's not talk about this. Look at what I've done here."

As he was speaking, Duan Tianlang leaped up like a groom about to be married and pulled Zhou Weiqing to his work desk, on which a scroll with meter-long sides was spread.

On the unfurled scroll, the first thing Zhou Weiqing saw was grey lines interwoven tightly. These lines were outlined with a special pen, the scroll was made of good quality sheepskin, which is known for its durability.

Zhou Weiqing had wanted to talk to Duan Tianlang, however, when he saw the scroll, he was stunned.

In the eyes of normal people, those grey lines would give them dizzy spells. However, Zhou Weiqing was not normal people! As his cultivation base was raised to Heavenly King and then to Heavenly Emperor tier, he could finally be called a God Tier Master.

As the large scroll appeared in front of his eyes, the only emotion he could feel was a shock.

Yes, it was a design of a Consolidated Equipment Scroll, its patterns were more complicated than any other Consolidated Scrolls Zhou Weiqing had ever seen. There were many segments where it was slightly messy, but following the lines, Zhou Weiqing still squealed every once in a while.

Duan Tianlang stood beside him, reading along. The difference between him and Zhou Weiqing was that his eyes only exude fascination. It was as if he was looking at the most beautiful woman in the world, and occasionally, he even caressed the sheepskin scroll, he was practically living in his own world.

"Junior Master! Junior Master, you did it! My goodness, this is a miracle, it can only be called a miracle," Zhou Weiqing squealed, unable to hold back.

His head snapped up and looked at Duan Tianlang. Even though Zhou Weiqing was not as persistent as Duan Tianlang in creating Consolidated Equipment Scrolls, he was still a God Tier Master and an heir of the Strength Legacy. How could he not marvel at an epic creation like this particular Consolidated Equipment Scroll? He could not imagine how a scroll like this could actually be designed, some concepts in it could only be described as a masterpiece.

"Yes, I've succeeded. Even I didn't think I could succeed," Duan Tianlang murmured. "Perhaps, perhaps it was because I have walked to the edge of the realm of the Dead, I've kept my heart calm enough and brave enough to abandon everything else, that the Heavens finally presented me with such glorious achievement."

Even after finishing the Ringless Ground Purging Set, Duan Tianlang had not once mentioned the word 'achievement', but at this moment, pride was written all over his face.

"Junior Master, you've succeeded, you have! This, this is the design for the eleventh piece of the Ringless Ground Purging Set! If we could finish this piece of Consolidated Equipment Scroll, the Ringless Ground Purging Set could very well surpass the Boundless Infinitum Set, becoming the strongest armor set in existence!"

Nodding lightly, Duan Tianlang's tears were struggling to roll down his face, "In the past month, my inspiration had not stopped, and I barely ate, I never slept, but even if I knew I might die, I still wouldn't stop. Weiqing, I beg of you. No matter what, please create this scroll when I'm still alive. I have the power to design it, but I cannot build it. Only you, with your mastery over Time and Spatial Attributes, could build this piece of armor. If I'm not wrong, you are now a Heavenly Emperor tier, aren't you?"

Zhou Weiqing nodded enthusiastically and said, "Junior Master, don't you worry. I will definitely do my best in building this piece. Junior Master, I can say this without any worry now, you're the finest God Tier Master in the Strength Legacy, even more so than the ancestor who created the Ringless Ground Purging Set. At the same time, you are the greatest, strongest God Tier Master in existence, no one would be able to surpass your achievement."

"Hahaha, I think so too, hahaha!" Duan Tianlang laughed heartily. Usually calm and collected, he had finally shown his wild side.

Duan Tianlang's biggest dream had been to be able to see the design of the Ringless Ground Purging Set, it was Zhou Weiqing who helped him achieve that, and he even managed to build the legendary armor set. He was the first God Tier Master who had built both the Hiltless Sky Purging Set and Ringless Ground Purging Set in the history of the Strength Legacy. Not only that, he had actually designed the eleventh piece of armor for the Ringless Ground Purging Set. It could be said that this design was not only born of his talent but also external variables like luck. Duan Tianlang could say with confidence that if he were to do it over, he would not succeed in a hundred years.

With this eleventh piece of design, not even the three God Tier Masters from the Heaven's Expanse Palace could say they had the better achievement. Master Xing Tianyi only preserved what was created, while Duan Tianlang was creating. As soon as this design was finished, he had officially stepped onto the altar of Consolidating Equipment Masters. No one in the current generation could claim to be better than him.

"Weiqing, the next segment will be your part," Duan Tianlang smiled. "This design was finished, but I still need to do a little adjustment. I've already prepared the formula for the Consolidating Ink, we still have most of the ingredients we require from what you brought back from Heavenly Jewel Island, but there is one thing I need you to procure."

"Junior Master, what is the ingredient that not even Heavenly Jewel Island has?" Zhou Weiqing asked curiously.

Duan Tianlang said, "By the eleventh piece of legendary armor sets, there are too many required ingredients that clash with each other. To completely merge these ingredients without the clash, we need to use certain special materials to fuse them. Your Saint Energy could be a good choice, but it is still an external force. Even if we succeeded, it would affect the quality of the Consolidating Ink, which would then affect the scroll-making process. Therefore, we will not be using a pure internal energy as a blending solvent.

At this point, Duan Tianlang paused before continuing, "The blending solvent must have strong Attributes to it so it completely covers the other ingredients before it could succeed. So you need to look for the Elven Queen's blood. Not much is needed, three drops should be more than enough."

"The Elven Queen? Who's that?" Zhou Weiqing had not heard of this character, but with a title of 'Queen', she must not be a weak character.

Duan Tianlang smiled slightly, he said, "It's not unusual that you don't know about her, it takes hundred-year-old geezers like me to have heard of the Elven Queen. The Elves are an ancient race, they existed even earlier than us humans in this world. Eons ago, the rulers of the mainlands are the Dragons, the Elves, and several other extinct races. Humans at the time were still very primitive, suitable only to be their slaves."

"As time goes by, human intelligence and the ability to cultivate slowly developed. In addition, humans' reproductive abilities are stronger than the other races, so we slowly dominated the mainlands.The few races that had extinct almost always had something to do with humans. The Elves and the Dragons were still pretty close to us humans, especially the Dragons. Their reproduction was too slow. Therefore, for some time, they even treated humans as their spokesperson. However, the development of the human race had far exceeded the dragons' expectations to the point that they could not control anymore. By that time, the mainlands slowly belonged to the humans, and the original ruling races had either weakened or gone into seclusion. You've seen dragons before, how many would you say there were on this mainland? Far too rare, isn't it?"

Zhou Weiqing said, deep in thought, "That means, the Elves were pretty much the same with the Dragons? Did they go into seclusion too?"

Duan Tianlang nodded, saying, "It would be more appropriate to say that they have sealed themselves in. The Elves were the favored race of nature, they can merge with nature and easily use any ability of the Nature Attribute. They don't have Heavenly Jewels like us, only the power to control the nature. To avoid being taken over by the humans, The Twelve Elders of the Elves at the time combined their powers to isolate a space for them to live in on this mainland. The Humans at the time had also made an agreement with the Elves. The Elves would not leave the Sealed Land, and us Humans would not invade their space."

"This was a long, long time ago. After that, the Elves had actually withdrawn from the history of this mainland, no longer appearing in front of the Humans. This was also why you had not heard about this race at all. The Elves did not come into our world, but there were records of humans journeying into the world of the Elves. After many years of being in seclusion, the Elves had become much stronger than before. However, Time had diminished their wanderlust as a race, they don't even want to leave the Sealed Land, and they are friendly to the Humans. Some humans who had gained their approval could even gain many benefits from their visits."

"The Elves are the children of nature, the purest Nature Energy lies within the bloodline of the Elven Queen. If we could procure three drops of her blood, this final process to create the Consolidated Equipment Scroll would be as easy as pie, and the Consolidating Ink would be at its optimal capacity."

Zhou Weiqing scratched his head and said, "Junior Master, this mission would not be easy to complete! Do we even know where the Elves hid? Also, the Elven Queen is the leader of the tribe. It would not be easy to get her blood. If the Elves are strong even for you, it wouldn't be easy for us to carry out this task."

Duan Tianlang laughed heartily, "Other people may not be able to, but you're different, you have already created so many miracles by yourself. What comes next would be on you. As for the position of the Elves, it's even easier. You only need to ask those wives of yours, they must know about this. The Elves could be left alone for so long by the Human world, they would naturally have a connection here in the Human world. The one with whom they have the best relationship is Heaven's Expanse Palace. Did you think the Boundless Infinitum Set would not need the special blending solvent for their final piece? They did not need the blood of the Elven Queen, but it was also a precious item that was only produced by the Elves."

With Duan Tianlang's hint, Zhou Weiqing had finally understood a little better. The Heaven's Expanse Palace had a good relationship with the Elves, it would mean it was not impossible to ask the Elven Queen for her blood. 'If the Heaven's Expanse Palace could build a relationship with the Elves, why couldn't my new Peerless Sect do it?'

The Elves were an ancient race, if Zhou Weiqing could build a good relationship with them, it would be very beneficial to his Peerless Sect.

At the thought of that, Zhou Weiqing nodded and replied, "I'll do it, Junior Master. But promise me, before my return, please don't damage your own body again. If anything happened to you, I would seal this design up and will never touch it again."

Duan Tianlang smiled, nodding yet again, "I would not die before I witness the creation of this eleventh piece of Ringless Ground Purging Set, so don't worry about me and go. However, be careful, if it could not be done, don't force it. The Elves could be stronger than what I had imagined. Even though they didn't appear on this mainland, I'm guessing there are plenty of powerhouses among the Elves."

Zhou Weiqing grinned and nodded. He was not that worried about the powerhouses of the Elves. One's confidence would increase the stronger they get. Currently, Zhou Weiqing was no longer the original Zhou Weiqing, he had become a Heavenly Emperor tier powerhouse. With his reddish-gold Saint Energy Galaxia, there were not many people he would be scared of. If he had to rob her with his power, he would still be confident that he would succeed.

After leaving Duan Tianlang's room, Zhou Weiqing immediately left town. With his current cultivation base, the limitation of distance to Blink was pretty much nullified, he could reach anywhere immediately with just a thought about his destination, as long as his destination was within several thousand meters in displacement.

Shangguan Xue'er and Shangguan Fei'er had been keeping their eyes on Shangguan Bing'er who was cultivating in mid-air. It had been several days, but Shangguan Bing'er had been absorbing the Atmospheric Energy non-stop, her aura was also becoming stronger and stronger.

Chapter 766

However, Shangguan Xue'er and Fei'er could clearly feel that the Nucleus Core that Bing'er was about to solidify was most likely different from Zhou Weiqing's Starcrux Saint Nucleus Core. This was because even though the aura that Bing'er radiated was filled with the energy ripples of the Saint Energy too, it did not have the kind of purity that Zhou Weiqing possessed. It was apparent that there was some Wind attribute energy ripple mixed in with her Saint Energy.

This was obviously because she did not possess any Saint Attribute in the first place. It was impossible to form a true Saint Nucleus Core without any Saint Attribute in the body.

However, this did not mean that Shangguan Bing'er was not powerful at all. The nourishment that Zhou Weiqing gave her was not in vain. When she was solidifying her Nucleus Core, her body was entirely filled with the Starcrux Saint Energy that Zhou Weiqing transfused into her body. Just that alone would make her Nucleus Core far superior to the other Heavenly King-tier powerhouses.

In truth, as far as Shangguan Bing'er was concerned, even if her Nucleus Core was not entirely made from pure Saint Energy, it was still beneficial to her as long as she could solidify the Nucleus Core successfully. This was because after her Nucleus Core was successfully formed, she would be able to devour the Atmospheric Energy on her own to replenish her energy during her cultivation. There would be no need for her to rely on Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy anymore for her cultivation.

In other words, even if her Saint Energy was not entirely pure, it was at least still part of the Saint Energy. She could also solidify it by filtering the energies from the outer world. To a certain extent, Bing'er's Saint Nucleus Core was actually a sub-Saint Nucleus Core, and it was still far superior compared to the other ordinary Heavenly King-tier powerhouses.

Right at this moment, the space in front of the two girls suddenly distorted without any warning. Two huge hands appeared out of thin air and grabbed onto each of them.

Both Xue'er and Fei'er had already reached the Ninth Jewel Tier. Coupled with their originally mighty strength, they reacted almost instantly. Just as they were about to unleash their techniques to attack the offender, they suddenly realized that the space around them had abruptly collapsed. A powerful Spatial Energy bound them tightly, and it left them with no space to move at all.

Within seconds, a familiar figure stepped out of the distorted space and planted a heavy kiss on both of their red lips before he released the two women from the constraint. With a slide, that figure leaped a few meters away from them. Very quickly, the collapsed space immediately returned to its normal state.

At first, Xue'er and Fei'er were completely taken aback because they thought they had encountered a very strong enemy. The moment they finally caught a clear glimpse of the person, they were immediately filled with wrath. This thief who had just stolen their kisses was none other than that evil bastard — Zhou Weiqing.

Zhou Weiqing smiled cheekily at both girls as he asked, "Hi, ladies, why don't you properly welcome your husband?"

Fei'er snorted coldly, "Who's your wife? Stop being so full of yourself! Hmmph!"

Xue'er did not speak a word at all. Her face remained cold as usual.

Dejectedly, Zhou Weiqing came closer to them as he asked, "What are you two trying to do? Just tell me directly if there's anything that you feel unhappy about. Don't just keep it in your hearts. Yes, it's all my fault! I was too occupied recently, to the point that I've been ignoring you all. I'm willing to accept any punishment from you two."

Fei'er scoffed loudly, "Ignore us? You haven't only been ignoring us for one or two days, you know. Ever since you've established that Peerless Battalion, I've worked my ass off helping you to take charge! And you? You keep disappearing whenever you like! Fine, I won't hold you to that, but let me ask you, what the hell's with the issue of this Little Witch? And what's going on with that Heavenly Demon Sect? You better explain to us clearly. Otherwise, the three of us will return to the Heaven's Expanse Palace once Little Sis is done with her breakthrough!"

When Zhou Weiqing saw how enraged Fei'er was, he stepped forward to give her a hug. However, she pushed him away roughly with all her might. Although Xue'er remained silent, a look of doubt could be seen in her eyes.

Zhou Weiqing scratched his head. "Please let me explain, alright? The story about Little Witch is like this…" Zhou Weiqing was indeed smart. He knew very well that sometimes white lies were good, but at times like this, it would be better to just tell the truth. Otherwise, he would lose the love of the girls.

At that moment, he sincerely retold the story about him and Little Witch. Of course, he deliberately emphasized how deeply in danger he was during that ordeal, and how he was not in his right mind when he slept with Little Witch. Other than that, he more or less told them the truth regarding the entire incident.

"… Well, as you know, I'm not really a good person. But for the sake of my cultivation, or you can even say, my life, she did sacrifice a girl's most important thing for me. Not only that, Teacher was there as well during the whole process. So at the very least, I need to be responsible for the things I've done to her. This is all my fault. I'm to blame for not being able to find you all in time. Otherwise, there would've been no need for me to do that with Little Witch at all. That time, Teacher even told me that Lady Luck was on my side, and at least I got myself a good girl that day. Otherwise, he would have caught a sow to become my sacrifice."

The moment they heard Zhou Weiqing's last sentence, the two Shangguan sisters could not help but burst out in laughter. They just could not resist it when they imagined Zhou Weiqing being together with a sow. With just this laugh, the tense atmosphere between the three of them lifted almost immediately.

Fei'er snapped as she glared viciously at Zhou Weiqing, "You bastard! How dare you flirt as you like everywhere you go. See! There are already five! Let me be frank with you, if there's a sixth one, I'm going to castrate you without any hesitation!" She even made a furious slicing motion with her hand.

Horrified, Zhou Weiqing quickly covered his lower body with his hands. "Never again! Your Majesty! I'll never do that again!"

Creases formed between Shangguan Xue'er's brows. "Then what's going on with the Heavenly Demon Sect? We understand your action of joining forces with the Heavenly Demon Sect to fight against Blood Red Hell. However, you're now letting them stay at the Heavenly Bow Empire! Not only that, it seems like you're trying to be a part of the sect as well. Weiqing, even if you don't consider our position as people who were raised in the Heaven's Expanse Palace, you should at least know how bad the Heavenly Demon Sect's reputation is in the Boundless Mainland. None of the countries dare to formally take them in. Are you trying to make the Heavenly Bow Empire a common target for scorn and ridicule?"

Smiling faintly, Zhou Weiqing leaned forward and forcefully took Fei'er into his arms before he used another hand to wrap around Xue'er's waist. "What Heavenly Demon Sect? I did not agree to join them. If I join a Saint Land, naturally I'll join the Heaven's Expanse Palace! Three of my wives were all born there after all!"

Xue'er allowed him to hug her, yet the same expression remained on her face. "Weiqing, you really have to draw a line on this matter. Perhaps you don't care much about your reputation, but the Heavenly Bow Empire is totally different. I dare say that if the news about Heavenly Bow Empire accepting the Heavenly Demon Sect spreads out one day somehow, the Fei Li Empire will most likely stop supplying resources to us immediately. Not only that, we'll probably be shunned by the public as well."

Zhou Weiqing smiled. "The Heavenly Demon Sect will never exist in the Heavenly Bow Empire. Xue'er, I'm being serious about this. Oh yeah, there's something that I'd like to discuss with you two. I'd like to invite you two beautiful women to join me in my newly founded Peerless Sect and become the wives of the sect leader. What do you guys think?"

"Peerless Sect?" Xue'er looked at him with a puzzled face.

Zhou Weiqing nodded his head. "Yes, the Peerless Sect. Me, this useless guy, is the sect leader of the Peerless Sect. My teacher, the Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor, will be the Supreme Elder advisor of our sect. All of the original members of our Peerless Regiment who have a cultivation base of Sixth Jewel and above will become teachers in the Peerless Sect. Although we're still slightly lacking in terms of mighty powerhouses now, I dare say that once our Peerless Sect is established, it'll definitely become the Saint Land with the most Jewel Masters in this mainland."

Shangguan Fei'er's eyes lit up immediately. "Little Fatty, you want to establish a Saint Land? Seriously?Are you sure you can do that?"

Zhou Weiqing found what she said funny, so he planted a kiss on her nose. "As a man, how can I say that I can't do it? Don't forget that your husband is a Heavenly Emperor now. Not only that, with my Saint Energy cultivation base, no other ordinary Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouses can be compared to me. Why am I not qualified to set up a Saint Land? We'll have to slowly build up the history and heritage anyway. Oh yeah, there's another thing that I have to tell you. The Heavenly Demon Sect has already been completely removed from the world. From now on, there's no more Heavenly Demon Sect. All we have now is the Peerless Sect!"

Now that Zhou Weiqing had made it so clear, if the two women still did not catch his underlying meaning, then they were not worthy of calling themselves the descendants of the Heaven's Expanse Palace anymore.

Xue'er, who was always calm and composed, had her cherry-red lips wide open. Her face was completely filled with shock.

Zhou Weiqing stole a kiss from her soft pink lips. When he recalled how he was sent flying from her slap after he kissed the wrong person previously, a gush of warmth filled his heart immediately.

"Do you admire your husband now?" Zhou Weiqing chuckled.

Shangguan Xue'er stared at him. "D-Did you.. you really buy over the Heavenly Demon Sect? How could they possibly agree to it?"

Zhou Weiqing replied with a face full of triumph, "Well, I have the ability to do that. Do you know why the Demonic Emperor came to the Heavenly Bow Empire in the first place? At that time, I was not even a Heavenly Emperor yet, but he came with the purpose of asking me to join the Heavenly Demon Sect. Not to join the Heavenly Demon Sect per se, but to take over his position as the Heavenly Demon Sect leader instead. Just from his action, it's obvious that the Demonic Emperor is a lot more sincere than your uncle, you know. However, I didn't agree to his request at all. Well, the first reason is naturally that I was thinking for all of you, and the second one lies with the problems of the sect."

"In truth, I've long had a plan of setting up my own Saint Land. A man needs to have his own career after all. When everything on the mainland has gone back to being calm and normal, we should also have a home of our own. Marrying a Saint Lord would not be too bad for you all either."

When Zhou Weiqing saw that there were looks of slight disbelief on the two women's faces, he said in a slightly dejected voice, "Well, I guess it's normal that you all don't believe it. Even though the Heavenly Demon Sect has fallen, there's still at least one Heavenly Emperor and six Heavenly King-tier powerhouses. Do you find it hard to believe that I can command them with the power I possess now?"

Shangguan Xue'er did not say a word. Shangguan Fei'er, on the other hand, nodded her head without any hesitation. There was no need for her to hide anything from Zhou Weiqing.

Chapter 767

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!"

Chapter 767

Indeed, what he spoke of was the truth. Along with the elevation of his cultivation base, his body had completely evolved into the purest form of Saint Energy. It could be said that in some ways, he could no longer be categorized as a human being. Sleeping with him would definitely allow one to gain great benefits from him.

Shangguan Fei'er rolled her eyes at him, "Sister is right. Your mind is only filled with all those filthy and dirty things! I'll just ignore you!"

Zhou Weiqing chuckled and said to Shangguan Xue'er, "Xue'er, I've another thing to ask you. Do you know where the Sealed Land of the Elf Tribe is located?"

"Huh? What did you say?" Shangguan Xue'er did not catch on to his meaning. Not long after, her face suddenly lit up in surprise, "H-How do you know about the Elf Tribe?"

Fei'er and Bing'er who were both standing by the side appeared to be confused about their conversation. It was obvious that they did not know about the existence of the Elf Tribe.

Zhou Weiqing shrugged. He had no plans of hiding anything. "Junior Master was the one who told me that your Heaven's Expanse Palace has something to do with the Elf Tribe. Junior Master managed to come up with a design for the eleventh piece of the Ringless Ground Purging Set. However, we need the Elven Queen's blood, which is the most important ingredient, to make Consolidating Ink. That's why I'll have to make a trip to the Elf Tribe's Sealed Land and look for the Elven Queen's fresh blood. Xue'er, if you feel like I'm putting you in a difficult position, I'll make a trip to the Heaven's Expanse Palace and ask our father or uncle about it."

Shangguan Xue'er shook her head gently, "Weiqing, I can tell you where the Elf Tribe's Sealed land is but I wish that you won't go there."

"Why?" Zhou Weiqing asked in confusion.

She replied, "The Elf Tribe's Sealed Land is not dangerous but your purpose in going there is definitely dangerous."

Zhou Weiqing stared at her in surprise as he waited for her to continue.

She continued, "The Elf Tribe's reproduction cycle is quite similar to the Dragon Tribe. They're both very slow in reproducing. This is also why they're suppressed by human beings in the first place. However, now that many years have passed, the Elf Tribe has already regained their strength. It's true that the Heaven's Expanse Palace has some relations with the Elf Tribe but it's only for mutual benefits. We've given our words that we'll never allow any human nations to attack the Elf Tribe's Sealed Land. In return, we gained their friendship and to some extent, we also obtained some of their possessions. Still, this doesn't mean that the Elf Tribe has complete faith in us. They still remain slightly hostile towards human beings."

"The Elven Queen is the supreme being of the Elf Tribe. Every drop of blood from the Elves is an essence of nature, particularly the Queen's. On top of that, a part of the Elf's body is actually made of energy. This is why the blood in their body is extremely rare. The amount of blood in the Queen's entire body is most likely only around 100 drops and this was the result of countless years of accumulation. Wanting three fresh drops of blood from the Queen is equivalent to becoming an enemy of the entire Elf Tribe. Unless you can charge your way in ruthlessly and win against the Elven Queen, it's almost impossible to accomplish your mission."

Zhou Weiqing understood immediately why Xue'er had that kind of astonished and worried expression on her the moment she heard that he wanted to get the Elven Queen's blood.

"It seems like it'll be unlikely for me to obtain the Elven Queen's blood in a peaceful manner then."

Shangguan Xue'er immediately replied without any hesitation, "That's impossible. And if I bring you into the Elf Tribe's Sealed Land with my Heaven's Expanse Palace's identity, the Heaven's Expanse Palace and the Elf Tribe's friendship will most likely be destroyed. We'll most likely cause the Elf Tribe to be more hostile towards human beings. For this reason, you have to be extremely careful okay, Little Fatty?"

Shangguan Xue'er usually addressed him as Weiqing. With just these two words "Little Fatty", he immediately felt a sense of numbness all over his whole body. A smile instantly crept onto his face.

"Rest assured, I'm not a reckless person. Xue'er, with your understanding of the Elf Tribe, what do you think about the extent of their strength?"

After a moment of silence, Xue'er replied, "I'm not afraid to scare you so I'll just tell it to you directly. The Elf Tribe are the guardians of nature so they're naturally born with Natural Energy. Each of the tribesmen of the Elf Tribe is a born warrior. They're good in archery and they master at least four natural element energy — Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind. Some of the more powerful elves can even master the Light and Darkness attribute. There are at least several dozens of those elves who had mastered six different attributes in the Tribe. Can you imagine that? They have several dozen powerhouses who possess the same attributes as Senior Long. Can you imagine what their cultivation base is? As for the Elven Queen's cultivation base, even we have no idea how powerful she really is. However, in the ancient times, the Elven Queen had always been strong enough to fight against the Dragon Emperor."

After listening to Shangguan Xue'er's words, Shangguan Fei'er and Bing'er both were stunned. How powerful must she be to be able to be on par with the Dragon Emperor? A Heavenly God Tier? She had to at least be a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse right?

Zhou Weiqing's heart sank immediately. However, how could he possibly back out from the plan now? Naturally, it would be impossible.

Junior Master had spent a lot of effort to come up with the design for this Consolidated Equipment Scroll, to the point that he almost lost his life. It was indeed true that Duan Tianlang had sacrificed too much for him. If he could not craft this Consolidated Equipment Scroll successfully, Duan Tianlang's soul would not be in peace even after he died. This was his Junior Master's greatest wish after all. At the same time, Zhou Weiqing also wished that he would become much stronger. He had no other choice.

"I must go to this Elf Tribe. Xue'er, are you willing to tell me where exactly is the Sealed Land located?" A determined look could be seen in his eyes. It was obvious that he had already made up his mind the moment he said those words.

Shangguan Xue'er sighed. She knew that she would not be able to stop him from going.

As Shangguan Xue'er lifted her head up to look at him, she sighed again, "Weiqing, will you give me a few days to think about it?"

Zhou Weiqing did not force her. He gently nodded his head as he reassured her, "Xue'er, you don't have to put yourself in such a difficult position. If you really don't want to tell me, I won't force you at all. I'll just go ask uncle myself. It won't take long for me to reach the Heaven's Expanse Palace with my current cultivation base."

"No! You can't let uncle know!" Shangguan Xue'er quickly shook her head, "Otherwise, he'll definitely stop you from going. But, Weiqing, even if we really go to the Elf Tribe's Sealed Land, I hope that we'll try to resolve this matter peacefully and not rush into a battle straight away. Is that okay?"

Zhou Weiqing nodded his head solemnly, "I promise you."

Waiting for a few days was nothing to Zhou Weiqing. He needed time to consolidate the tenth piece of his Ringless Ground Purging Set anyway. As long as he had completed his last helmet, his Ringless Ground Purging Set could be considered as complete. As for how his set would look like once the eleventh piece was added on to it, it was not something he had to worry about for now. Being able to put on all ten pieces of his Ringless Ground Purging Set would definitely make his strength increase again.

In fact, even the Mountain Lord of the Heavenly Snow Mountain, Xue Ao'tian's God Vanquishing Heavenly Spirit Set only possessed ten pieces of equipment.

Zhou Weiqing was a little curious. When the three Shangguan sisters came back, they called Tian'er and Little Witch away with them. At first, Zhou Weiqing wanted to go with them but all of them pushed him away at the same time.

That kind of situation made Zhou Weiqing worried yet happy at the same time. Although he hoped that all five women would be able to get along well so that he would not have any trouble with them, at the same time, he feared they would gang up and go against him. How would he dare to mess with them? He did not even dare to mess with just one of them!

For this reason, Zhou Weiqing decided to spend his day cultivating to set up a firm foundation for his cultivation base and complete the tenth piece of the Ringless Ground Purging Set tomorrow.

…

When it was time for dinner, Zhou Weiqing had his dinner together with his five wives and their families. What shocked him the most was after their dinner ended, under the urging of the other four girls, Little Witch actually followed him all the way to his bedroom while she held onto the corner of his shirt with her head lowered.

Looking at Wu Yuehan's innocent and delicate face that was flushed with embarrassment as she closed the door after she had followed him into the room, Zhou Weiqing literally widened his eyes. The first thing that crossed his mind was, "Is this a test from the five of them?"

Since she came here, it was obvious that Little Witch was in the pink of health. Zhou Weiqing had used his Saint Energy a few times now to help nurse her back to health.

Her pink face was flushed with a crimson red. Among the five girls, Little Witch was the youngest. She was barely a few years older than Zhou Weiqing. With her cute and girlish features, the embarrassed expression on her face made her look even more enticing and lovely.

Zhou Weiqing asked tentatively, "Yuehan, what are you doing?"

Little Witch's head was hung so low that it was almost buried in her own chest as she muttered, "S-Sister Xue'er and Fei'er told me to take care of you."

Zhou Weiqing was a smart guy. She had already hinted at it so strongly, if he still did not catch on to her meaning then he was not worthy of being the descendant of a scoundrel and a drunken rogue.

Zhou Weiqing took a step forward and held her hands before he pulled her into his embrace. He chuckled as he asked, "Don't tell me that all of you have already discussed this and decided to take turns and have one person accompany me every night?"

"No, no!" Little Witch quickly shook her head. Looking at her right now, she no longer had that heroic and cheeky spirit that had almost destroyed the entire Fei Li Battle Team previously. Instead, she currently looked more like the shy little girl next door.

"What is it then?" Zhou Weiqing asked curiously.

Little Witch muttered in a very low voice, "S-Sister Fei Li told me to do some experiment or something."

At this moment, Zhou Weiqing finally understood what was going on. Shangguan Xue'er and Fei'er were trying to test the validity of the things that he had told them during the day. Could it be that if he really could help them make a breakthrough to the Heavenly King Tier, they would be willing to do that with him?

Even though his heart was filled with excitement, Zhou Weiqing's eyes turned a little colder than usual. It was obvious that he was somewhat displeased with the situation. It seemed like his charm was not as attractive as having their cultivation base elevated! This was not right! Even if Xue'er and Fei'er wanted to elevate their cultivation base, they should not act in this manner towards him. Based on his understanding of them, he was sure that Xue'er and Fei'er were not this kind of people. There must be something going on with them!

However, at this time, Zhou Weiqing did not give it another thought. After all, why would he reject a lamb that offered herself to him?

With a bit of an evil smirk, Zhou Weiqing put his arms around Little Witch and led her to the edge of the bed before sitting down. He pulled her body that was as light as a feather and as soft as a pillow down on his thighs. He chuckled, "Yuehan, do you know what kind of experiment they want you to do?"
