Chapter 1147 1148: Returning Home
At this moment, in the grand hall of the Divine Realm's Xiao Tian Divine Sect.
Ever since he annihilated the Five Emperors of the Immortal Realm, Xiao Tianyu returned to the Divine Realm and stayed for a while at the Xiao Tian Divine Sect. During this period, the Seven Emperors of the Divine Realm continuously came to visit, with a hint of flattery in their eyes.
Since the last battle at the Xiao Tian Divine Sect, Xiao Tianyu has been indisputably the foremost figure of the current era and is now called the Sovereign. Now that he has returned, it is only natural for the Seven Emperors to visit incessantly.
Of course, today is no exception.
"Greetings, Sovereign!"
In the grand hall of the Xiao Tian Divine Sect, the seven Great Emperors paid their respects individually.
Besides the Seven Emperors, in the grand hall also stood Qiao Zhenyu and Qiao Ling'Er from the Nine Heavens Divine Sect.
In principle, given Qiao Ling'Er's status, she was not qualified to enter the Xiao Tian Grand Hall. However, as Xiao Tianyu's sister, it was naturally different, especially since Qiao Ling'Er was adept at acting coy, following Xiao Tianyu around all day.
At this moment, seated at the head position, Xiao Tianyu gazed down, scanning the Seven Emperors with a piercing sharpness, causing their hearts to tighten abruptly. Did we make a mistake?
Then, Xiao Tianyu spoke mildly: "How goes the task?"
"Reporting to the Sovereign!" Fengming Divine Emperor stepped forward and addressed Xiao Tianyu: "The Sacred Path has been opened, and all checkpoints have been prepared. Wherever the Tianxuan Chosen goes, the checkpoints will open!"
"Where is the Tianxuan Chosen now?"
"In the Primordial Ancient Realm, Phoenix City!" Fengming Divine Emperor respectfully responded: "Recently, the Celestial Sword Wall at Phoenix City has been arranged. At this moment, the Tianxuan Chosen should be competing on the Celestial Sword Wall!"
"What about the others?"
"All is ready. I believe the Tianxuan Chosen will pass through the myriad checkpoints and may join a certain faction for cultivation. Although the world is treacherous, with the Nine Heavens Divine Emperor accompanying, the Tianxuan will likely be safe. Sovereign, you need not worry!"
"Am I worried?" Xiao Tianyu glanced at Fengming Emperor, rendering him speechless. He just wanted to ask, Sovereign, if you aren't worried, then why every few days when you convene court, do you always discuss matters about the Tianxuan Chosen?
Not only did Fengming Divine Emperor not believe it, the other Divine Emperors didn't believe it either. Although the Tianxuan Chosen is destined by heaven, Xiao Tianyu seems to mentioned it too frequently these days. Moreover, the movements of the Tianxuan Chosen are all within the Divine Emperors' scope of perception. Is it not safe enough?
"Big brother!" At this moment, Qiao Ling'Er beside Xiao Tianyu smiled lightly: "Big brother, it's written all over your face!"
"..." Xiao Tianyu felt at a loss for words. Actually, he wasn't as others thought. The reason he cared about Ye Qingcheng was merely to follow destiny. After all, Ye Qingcheng is the one chosen by the heavens, and it's reasonable for him to safeguard her.
Moreover, these days, Xiao Tianyu repeatedly pondered why Earth's Li Tian was kept in Eternal Hell for billions of years, enduring such solitude. Is there no other implication?
Furthermore, in the Primordial Universe, with so many gifted ones, why wasn't Li Tian chosen? Instead, Xiao Tianyu, from Earth, was sent into Eternal Hell to endure the cycles of reincarnation. Was it just because Xiao Tianyu is handsome?
There are naturally other reasons for this as well.
Also, Xiao Tianyu is convinced that with the emergence of the Tianxuan Chosen, there will surely be turmoil within the Primordial Universe.
Then, Xiao Tianyu shot Qiao Ling'Er a glance: "You talk too much!"
"I'm just being honest, okay!"
Qiao Ling'Er's beautiful eyes flickered. Is there also something wrong with being honest?
But Xiao Tianyu ignored her and directly got up, heading towards the hall's exit. Qiao Ling'Er teased: "Big brother, are you going to the Primordial Continent? Why not take me so I can see what this future sister-in-law looks like that makes you think about her day and night!"
"Who said I'm going to the Primordial Continent?" Xiao Tianyu turned to Qiao Ling'Er and said: "Earth!"
"Earth? What is Earth?" Qiao Ling'Er seemed confused, while Fengming Emperor flattered: "Young miss, Earth is a Particle World within the Primordial Universe with thin Spiritual Qi, rarely producing immortal cultivators!"
"I see!" Qiao Ling'Er lifted her beautiful eyes. Looking at the top of the grand hall, she mused: "The Primordial Universe is like this grand hall, encompassing many worlds. But beyond the universe, what lies there?"
Hearing this, Xiao Tianyu suddenly halted and said to Qiao Ling'Er: "What did you just say?"
"What, what…?" Qiao Ling'Er didn't get it.
"I'm asking about what you just said!"
"The Primordial Universe is like this grand hall, encompassing many worlds!"
"What about the next sentence?"
"But beyond the Primordial Universe, what is there? Is there a problem?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu looked up, glancing at the top of the grand hall and murmured: "We are all like planet-like beings encompassed by the universe, but if we step out of this grand hall?"
This was connected to thoughts during his time on Earth, recalling the people around Li Tian, bringing a slight tremor to Xiao Tianyu's heart. Each of their auras wasn't weaker than his own, yet they were merely Li Tian's subordinates.
And they referred to Li Tian as the Lord of Heaven.
Where did those people originate from, outside the universe?
It's no wonder Xiao Tianyu pondered this. After all, he is now a Sovereign who reigns over the universe, yet within the Primordial Universe, he has never encountered those subordinates of Li Tian.
Are they not within the Primordial Universe? Or are they, like Li Tian, hidden on some unknown planet?
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Xiao Tianyu lost in thought, Qiao Ling'Er was curious. Xiao Tianyu responded: "Nothing!"
"I also want to see Earth!"
"You..."
"I can't?"
"It's my birthplace!" said Xiao Tianyu.
"That makes me want to go even more!" Qiao Ling'Er's eyes sparkled with excitement. What kind of world could give birth to someone so powerful? She was very curious, and at this moment, Qiao Zhenyu addressed Qiao Ling'Er: "Ling'Er, don't be mischievous!"
After speaking, Qiao Zhenyu looked at Xiao Tianyu with some guilt: "Sovereign, it's my failure in educating this child, please don't blame her!"
"It's alright, if she wants to go, let her!" Xiao Tianyu waved his hand. Bringing Qiao Ling'Er along didn't matter, it would serve to alleviate boredom on the journey. Qiao Ling'Er was overjoyed, tapping her boots, tap tap tap~ and kissed Xiao Tianyu.
Seeing this, Qiao Zhenyu was shocked and immediately scolded: "Ling'Er, stop being mischievous!"
"It's okay!" Xiao Tianyu waved his hand. He liked Qiao Ling'Er's personality, and then took Qiao Ling'Er's slender jade hand and walked out of the grand hall.
In an instant, under everyone's gaze, Qiao Ling'Er and Xiao Tianyu turned into a stream of light and vanished from the hall's entrance.
Now, it has been almost three years since Xiao Tianyu left Earth. He has never forgotten his promise made three years ago.
Three years ago, he promised Shangguan Biyue and others that if their cultivation was successful in three years, he would come back to take them away from Earth.
Today marks the third chapter in a new book, with a headache from the bothersome new tasks!
