The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1315: Chapter 390: The Divine Beast That Fell in the Desolate Forbidden Land

A month passed quietly.

Facing the imposing authority of Inspector Su Minghe, everyone held their breath and composed themselves, speaking and acting with a measure of reverence, fearing to disturb this distinguished figure.

During this time, Lu Yaoyao woke up twice, each time lightly knocked unconscious by Zhou Qing.

"Fellow cultivator, my prior actions have been disrespectful; I mistook you for someone else," Zhao Muye’s voice suddenly sounded beside Zhou Qing’s ear.

Zhou Qing gave him a faint glance and nodded slightly.

"That’s straightforward, brother!" Seeing Zhou Qing hold no grudge, Zhao Muye smiled broadly, changing his address from "fellow cultivator" to "brother."

"I noticed your partner seems unfit to handle the teleportation? There’s more than five months left on this journey. Constantly knocking her out might not be wise. I have a calming pill that will let her sleep peacefully..."

As Zhao Muye spoke, he was about to retrieve the medicine bottle from his storage bag, but Zhou Qing adamantly refused, "It’s not necessary."

Startled, Zhao Muye was about to speak further when Yu Yan, seemingly aware, quickly grabbed his sleeve to stop him.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Muye angrily glared at the meditating Yama, reluctantly putting away the medicine bottle.

He conveyed silently, "Forgive me, brother, it was my oversight; I nearly brought trouble upon you."

Indeed, this brother before him was merely in the early stage of Spirit Severing Realm, and his partner had only Divinity Transformation Realm cultivation.

But Yama was notoriously narrow-minded; if by chance his well-meaning gesture earned their ire, it would truly be a great misstep.

Zhou Qing shifted his gaze slightly to Yu Yan.

This woman’s unique essence and meticulous actions were notable.

If she accompanied Zhao Muye regularly, much trouble could be avoided.

Yet a chance presents itself now.

"It’s alright. By the way, what is the origin of this senior?" Zhou Qing asked, taking the opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Muye’s spirits lifted immediately. He first glanced stealthily at Su Minghe, then conveyed, "The Dynasty Alliance and the Cultivation Alliance both stationed three inspectors each in the Celestial Fate Sacred Dynasty..."

With Zhao Muye’s explanation, Zhou Qing finally understood Su Minghe’s origin.

It turned out he was a direct member of the Dynasty Alliance, no wonder he had an exceptional presence.

He suddenly recalled when he discussed this matter with Sikong Yan, who mentioned the Dynasty Alliance was founded by unparalleled experts from several seventh-level cultivation countries.

Its members, at the very least, hailed from sixth-level cultivation countries.

Back when Old Emperor Xuanyuan Chong broke through to Spirit Severing Realm, an envoy from the Dynasty Alliance descended.

They allocated numerous surrounding third-level cultivation countries to the Holy Martial Dynasty and commanded these countries not to invade.

In this case, isn’t the person before him from the legendary sixth-level cultivation country?

Seeing Zhou Qing lost in thought, Zhao Muye understood: This brother is definitely not from the Celestial Fate Sacred Dynasty.

If he were a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator from a fifth-level cultivation country, he would already know these secrets.

"What’s his cultivation level? And where exactly is the Starry Battlefield?" Zhou Qing hesitated slightly before asking.

Zhao Muye lowered his voice, "A Celestial Venerable! All inspectors have Celestial Venerable cultivation."

"Celestial Venerable?" Zhou Qing was startled.

"Indeed," Zhao Muye explained, "if one in Spirit Severing Realm can overcome the Supreme Tribulation, they can ascend to Supreme. After Supreme, there’s Earth Venerable and further to Celestial Venerable."

"However, with each minor realm advancement beyond Supreme, one must endure increasingly terrifying celestial tribulations."

"Countless promising talents have perished under these thunderous tribulations. So being able to cultivate safely to Celestial Venerable truly inspires awe."

Zhou Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.

Limited by the views of a fourth-level cultivation country, these secrets concerning Supreme were indeed unheard of.

Moreover, he underwent the Supreme Celestial Tribulation while ascending to Spirit Severing.

At that time, the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown phenomenon protected him, blocking all tribulation lightning and tempering his body, making his control over the Power of Thunder increasingly refined.

But later Shen Hanyi told him that the Supreme Celestial Tribulation he experienced was merely one percent as powerful as an ordinary Supreme Tribulation, already severely weakened.

More bizarrely, ancient texts have never recorded a Divinity Transformation Realm ascending to Spirit Severing inducing the Supreme Celestial Tribulation.

Even Three Flowers Gathering at the Top figures from legends aren’t exceptions.

Seeing Zhou Qing’s interest, Zhao Muye simply continued, "In a fifth-level cultivation country, the strongest is only an Earth Venerable."

"If a dynasty can produce three Celestial Venerables, or local forces can produce ten Celestial Venerables, inspected by the Dynasty Alliance or Cultivation Alliance, they may ascend to the sixth-level cultivation country, granted broader territory and supreme resources."

By this point, Zhou Qing had some understanding.

Apparently, the criteria for promotion in different cultivation countries vary.

Back then, his Old Emperor’s solitary breakthrough to Spirit Severing allowed the Holy Martial Dynasty to ascend to the fourth-level cultivation country.

"Someone like Elder Su, such an unparalleled expert, if recruited into his ranks, the resources and connections would be unimaginable."

Zhao Muye’s eyes shone with longing, "As I mentioned about the Starry Battlefield, it’s said opportunities are abundant there. If one could wander there, wow..."

"Where exactly is the Starry Battlefield?" Zhou Qing pursued further.

Zhao Muye shook his head, "That I do not know. However, it’s virtually inaccessible to ordinary people. Without Star Gate passage, it’s impossible even to consider going."

Zhou Qing exhaled deeply, wondering whether Inspector Su acquainted with Grand General Zhongli Bo and Elder Master Xuanqing.

"By the way, I am Zhao Muye, may I know your name, brother?" Zhao Muye suddenly remembered, conveying his question.

Just as Zhou Qing was about to respond, the entire passage violently trembled!

"Boom——"

A deafening explosion erupted in the void, and the passage’s outer walls suddenly bore several menacing cracks.
