Chapter 222 - Then I Go?Xiantian Supreme Treasure
"Your Highness, the Holy Son."
"Your Highness, the Holy Son."
As Chu Xiu arrived, the disciples and elders of Tai Su all bowed respectfully.
In the past, their respect for him stemmed from his identity and terrifying potential.
But now, Chu Xiu had earned their admiration through sheer strength.
Chu Xiu smiled and nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."
He then turned to an elder. "Elder Lin, when will the flying boat set sail?"
Hearing those words, the old man with the goat-like beard trembled with excitement. His eyes lit up, and his wrinkled face flushed red.
Elder Lin was responsible for managing the sundry affairs of the flying boat. He had never expected His Highness, the Holy Son, to remember the name of someone as insignificant as himself.
Straightening his posture, he stammered, "R-Replying to Your Highness, the flying boat will set sail in two quarters of an hour."
"Hmm~"
Chu Xiu nodded and smiled. "Thank you for your efforts."
With a casual wave to the disciples and elders, he placed his hands behind his back and slowly boarded the flying boat.
As soon as he left, the crowd broke into hushed discussions.
"His Highness, the Holy Son, is still so approachable."
"Of course! Though His Highness has a fearsome reputation, he is always kind to us."
"Exactly! I was one of the first disciples to enter the secret realm. If it weren't for His Highness's timely rescue, my body would still be lying inside that sealed domain."
"Hey, Elder Lin, why are you crying?"
A group of disciples noticed the elder standing to the side, wiping away tears. They exchanged puzzled glances before one of them asked.
Elder Lin quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and choked up. "I... I'm just moved. His Highness actually remembers my name."
The disciples looked at one another before nodding in understanding.
In a world where strength dictated one's worth, weak individuals were like weeds by the roadside—unworthy of even a passing glance from the strong.
But their Holy Son was different.
Back in the Holy Land, he never cared much for mingling with the powerful. Instead, he preferred to interact with those at the bottom.
His demeanor was like a refreshing spring breeze, winning him favor among the lower ranks of the Tai Su Holy Land.
His popularity even surpassed that of Tai Su Saint Bai Susu.
It was hard to believe that he had only been the Holy Son for less than half a year... yet he had already reached such a level.
Of course, to him, this was nothing.
Having struggled for centuries in the world, he deeply understood the hearts and minds of the lower class.
A strange smile appeared on Chu Xiu's face.
"You're holding the book upside down..."
Upon hearing this, Qi Mengdie was startled but quickly composed herself.
"I like reading books this way. I'm not used to changing the direction," she said, brushing it off.
At that moment, she turned to glare at the "traitor."
Her red lips parted slightly as she snapped angrily, "What's it to you?!!"
Chu Xiu simply shrugged.
Of course, he knew she was jealous again.
"Then I'll leave?" he said casually, turning to walk away.
Just as he was about to step out the door—
"Stop right there~"
The slightly irritated voice of Master Baby echoed behind him.
She expected Chu Xiu to pause, turn around, and come back to comfort her as he had done before.
However...
How could our Old Chu play by the rules?
Without even glancing back, he left.
...?
??
???
Swoosh~
Master shot up from the throne, fuming.
"You traitor! If you walk out that door, don't bother coming back!" she shouted angrily.
From a distance, Chu Xiu's voice rang out lazily,
"Perfect. My dad said he wanted to take a day off anyway. Thanks!"
Qi Mengdie: ...
She clenched her fists, fuming.
With a flick of her wrist, the palace doors slammed shut.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
In her frustration, she waved her hand and retrieved a small box from her storage space.
Click.
She opened it and pulled out a small doll—one made in the likeness of Chu Xiu.
Grabbing a silver needle, she began jabbing it fiercely.
Her anger was about to explode...
Meanwhile, Chu Xiu returned to his palace.
He closed the door and activated the restriction seal.
Heading straight to his practice room, he sat cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes.
His consciousness sank into his altar.
The altar was bathed in golden light.
Above his golden soul, a fist-sized golden mountain hovered, floating up and down.
Mount Xumi.
Somehow, it had been refined and entered his altar.
After leaving the secret realm, he had been too busy to examine it closely.
Now that he finally had time, he was eager to study this treasure.
His divine sense extended, wrapping around Mount Xumi.
Instantly, a stream of information surged into his mind.
At the same time, Tongzi responded.
[Hehehe... Let me take a look at what treasure the host has obtained!]
[Testing...]
[Testing...]
[1%...]
...
...
One hour later.
[100%]
[Testing completed...]
[However, the host's realm is too low. Some details remain incomplete.]
[Displaying available information:]
[Mount Xumi]
Type: Innate TreasureRank: ???Function: Infinite, indestructible, capable of breaking all laws. Its power scales with the host's strength.Note: In theory, only a Saint King can barely activate this magic weapon. However, the host is unique. With an exceptionally strong foundation, the host can barely use it after reaching the Great Saint level.Introduction: Originally an acquired magic weapon, a great human reforged it with supreme power, transforming it into an innate treasure.
After reading the introduction, Chu Xiu's eyes gleamed with excitement.
His mouth curled into an uncontrollable grin.
What a treasure!!
What a treasure!!
An actual innate treasure...
[Hehehe... What a treasure!! Drools]
[Host, hurry up and exchange it! With this, you'll never lack breakthrough points again!]
[Quickly now...]
Chu Xiu's eyelid twitched violently.
He cursed, "Get lost... you shameless bastard!"
[Hehehe...]
