Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1600 - 710: Far Too Sudden (Part 2)

In my opinion, I’ve come from billions of miles away, and whether I can meet the Profound Void Immortal Venerable is not necessarily the decision of the Northern Celestial King!

In the Star River,

Whatever I, Yang Jian’an, want to do, I have always accomplished,

And whoever I want to meet, I have always succeeded in meeting!"

Yang Jian’an shot a glance at Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing, speaking rather unceremoniously.

Upon hearing Yang Jian’an’s words, Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing showed no expression nor appeared angry. However, the numerous Ghost Race cultivators of the Northern Celestial Kingdom and its generals and deputy generals all had their expressions change drastically, faces turning gloomy as they stealthily reached for the magical artifacts at their waists.

For thousands of years,

The North Celestial Palace has been renowned in the Star River, and the Ghost Race is ranked in the first tier among numerous cultivation organizations and clans.

As the master of the North Celestial Palace, Mo Liqing, aside from the seventh of the Nine Nether enemies, who has ever been disrespectful upon meeting her!

Even the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor of the Middle Celestial Palace was respectful and courteous to Mo Liqing, who has been kindly to him when he visited the North Celestial Palace...

The many Ghost Race cultivators were witnessing for the first time someone actually disrespecting Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing this way, how could they not burn with indignation!

While numerous generals and deputy generals of the North Celestial Palace felt a rising anger, the Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing maintained a calm expression. She raised her gaze to look at Yang Jian’an, the chief disciple of the True Immortal Emperor, and spoke indifferently:

"Oh, according to Yang Sect Leader’s words, it seems that here in the Northern Celestial Star Realm, in this North Celestial Palace, my words as Mo Liqing are ineffective?"

Although her expression was indifferent, a chill gleamed in her eyes.

If it weren’t for Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing recalling Lin Xuankong’s various arrangements and knowing that Lin Xuankong has always preferred a low profile, perhaps she would have already unsheathed her sword, even if not to slay Yang Jian’an who boasted in the Dragon Play Hall, she would have directly expelled him from the North Celestial Palace and the Northern Celestial Star Realm!

Yang Jian’an did not reply upon hearing this.

Standing beside Yang Jian’an, Southern Celestial King Fang Yunfeng quickly stepped to Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing’s side and whispered: "Northern Celestial King, there’s no need for this. The era is now different; today isn’t like yesterday! The Six Paths True Immortal Emperor has already ascended into the Tier Thirteen Immortal Venerable Realm, and this chief disciple of the True Immortal Emperor has long been a Tier Twelve Immortal Venerable, but we Kings are still Tier Eleven Immortal Venerables. Such substantial differences in power, what use is there in indignation?"

To the Southern Celestial King, who has had good relations with the Ghost Race, Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing harbors no resentment. Yet seeing this former dominating king of the Star River, this Old Celestial King who ruled the Southern Celestial Star Realm for thousands of years, suddenly appear cautious and on edge, Mo Liqing felt a touch of sorrow. Wrinkling her brow, she asked, "Why has the Southern Celestial King come to this.... where has the Southern Celestial King of old gone, the one who stood tall and proud in the Star River?"

Southern Celestial King Fang Yunfeng paused at these words, showing a guilty expression and uttered no reply, only able to sigh and shake his head as he returned to Yang Jian’an’s side.

Yang Jian’an merely chuckled coldly, shaking his head slightly as he said: "In the Star River, power reigns supreme. That is the rule of the cultivation realm, and the rule of this world. If one lacks strength, one should obediently bow down. Otherwise, only mockery and contempt will arise from troubles stirred! Those in tune with the times like the Southern Celestial King are the true heroes!"

Seeing Yang Jian’an speak in such a manner, the many cultivators of the North Celestial Palace present shifted positions, preparing to surround this chief disciple of the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor.

These Ghost Race cultivators, each brave and skillful in battle, have experienced countless fights in the expansion of the North Celestial Palace territories, long ready to face life and death. Seeing their own Celestial King being mocked in such a manner, where could they hold back!

The Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing suddenly began to laugh, her silver hairpin trembling, her sword ringing softly, as though she had witnessed something truly amusing!

Seeing Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing not only not get angry and fight despite being belittled, but rather laugh heartily, Yang Jian’an frowned and examined Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing carefully.

Those North Celestial Palace generals and deputy generals who were preparing to encircle this chief disciple of the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor, upon seeing their king suddenly burst into laughter, were even more surprised, each puzzled as they looked at their Celestial King Mo Liqing.

At this moment, Li Changming, standing beside Mo Liqing, seemed to sense something, circulating True Qi to carefully acutely feel out.

Instantly, Li Changming’s expression shifted, and he clapped his hands and burst into laughter, "Hahahahaha, interesting, truly interesting! I, Li Changming, have never seen something this funny before; am I to laugh until my stomach bursts after eating my fill?"

Seeing Li Changming, too, laugh aloud,

Yang Jian’an, the chief disciple of the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor, naturally felt that something was amiss. His expression grew stern as he scrutinized Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing!

Moments later,

Yang Jian’an suddenly furrowed his brow, revealing an astonished expression, incredulous as he spoke: "You... you have already...."

For a time,

This chief disciple of the True Immortal Emperor, who had previously been belittling Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing, was rendered speechless by the unexpected discovery!

Seeing this, Southern Celestial King Fang Yunfeng beside him hurriedly circulated his True Qi to examine Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing closely. Afterward, his expression also revealed astonishment as he couldn’t help but speak:

"Northern Celestial King, your True Qi is so finely honed, several times more refined than mine! Compared to Yang Sect Leader and Changming Immortal Venerable, there is no difference! This degree of True Qi refinement.... could it be that Northern Celestial King, you have also ascended to Tier Twelve Immortal Venerable Realm?

This this this.... it’s too sudden! Over a millennium, we’ve heard of your multiple failed attempts to advance to Tier Twelve Immortal Venerable Realm, even more than my failed attempts, and typically, each failure results in foundation damage, making subsequent breakthroughs even harder. It’s said that after failing four or five times consecutively, success becomes nearly impossible! Yet you’ve clearly failed seven times in breakthroughs, why could you still advance to Tier Twelve Immortal Venerable Realm? It’s illogical; too illogical!"

As Southern Celestial King spoke, staring at the breathtakingly beautiful Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing, he felt utterly complex in heart, with envy, anticipation, surprise, and disbelief!

At this, Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing put away her smile, ignoring Southern Celestial King Fang Yunfeng’s stunned expression, and instead looked at the speechless chief disciple of the True Immortal Emperor Yang Jian’an, softly saying:

"In the Star River, power reigns supreme. That is the rule of the cultivation realm and this world, Yang Sect Leader speaks truly.

However, Mo Liqing has now advanced to Tier Twelve Immortal Venerable Realm, and should not be afforded such disdain in front of some, should I?"

At this point, Northern Celestial King Mo Liqing couldn’t help but think about what happened in Lin Xuankong’s Meditation Hall, recalling silently: Had it not been for him using that strange method to suddenly grant me some unknown assistance, breaking through to Tier Twelve Immortal Venerable Realm, today as the so-called master of the Northern Celestial Star Realm, I would have been belittled and oppressed by this chief disciple of the True Immortal Emperor, right in front of all my countless Ghost Race brethren!

Thanks to him, even though the way he helped me left me puzzled and bewildered, he still greatly assisted me once, not only allowing me to avoid embarrassment but also fulfilling a thousand-year-long wish of mine, successfully advancing to a level in the Endless Star River that few can reach—the Tier Twelve Immortal Venerable Realm!
