Chapter 2287: Message from the Sindhu High Priest!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

Time flew by, and there was now one month until Wang Chong and Xu Qiqin’s wedding.

Early morning, in the main hall of the King of Foreign Lands Residence...

Buzz!

Wang Chong sat cross-legged in the hall, in a state of meditation.

Six or seven feet above him, a halo unleashed dazzling light and powerful pulses of spatial energy.

Flanking that halo were two Wang Chongs with somewhat different energies, their eyes closed as they floated in the air in a state of meditation.

By using Genesis Supreme’s halo divine tool to cultivate, one could absorb spacetime energy at ten times the usual rate. This was a surprising discovery Wang Chong had made.

Time was short, and Wang Chong was using this method to quickly bring up his Divine Embryos.

Wang Chong had previously used his three Divine Embryos to have his original body break through the bottleneck and enter the Grotto Heaven realm early, allowing him to fight against Genesis Supreme.

And now that Wang Chong was so much stronger and had so much more information on Grotto Heaven realm laws, he could do the same with his three Divine Embryos.

Compared to the Demonic Emperor Old Man and the Wushang Village Chief, the three Divine Embryos, with their astonishing talent and their natural connection to him, were far easier to boost.

If he could bring all three of his Divine Embryos to the Grotto Heaven realm, it would be a great boon to both Wang Chong and all of the Great Tang.

With four Grotto Heaven realm experts, joined with the other elite experts, even if all the remaining Supremes of the Celestial God Organization appeared together, Wang Chong would not be afraid.

In addition, when facing Heaven, Wang Chong would have a stronger basis to work from.

This was the most direct and most effective method Wang Chong had developed to deal with Heaven.

Boom!

A few moments later, the halo divine tool swelled with power, waterfalls of energy pouring out from it and splashing onto Wang Chong and the two Divine Embryos in the air.

As this energy poured down, a familiar figure could be briefly glimpsed within the halo.

It was Wang Chong’s earth clone!

Wang Chong had discovered some time ago that the halo divine tool contained its own dimension.

Thus, Wang Chong had placed the Earth Divine Embryo in the halo divine tool to act as an intermediary. By using the Earth Divine Embryo’s power, Wang Chong could more effectively extract spacetime energy using the halo.

With this method of cultivation, Wang Chong was able to gain unprecedented progress.

Spacetime energy continued to gush down, and in this baptism of energy, Wang Chong and the Divine Embryos grew stronger and stronger, and their bodies even began to pulse with spacetime energy.

After some time...

Whoosh!

Wang Chong exhaled, and as exhaustion crept into his mind, he slowly began to withdraw his energy and end his cultivation session.

Different from what martial artists imagined, the higher the level of the universal energy, the more taxing it was on one’s mind, will, and physical energy. One could not endlessly cultivate without rest.

Wang Chong had looked through Genesis Supreme’s memories and found that even an ancient expert like him would not cultivate for more than six hours a day. As for Wang Chong, he had managed to last for around ten hours, which was incredibly rare for Grotto Heaven realm experts.

Buzz!

The light faded as the halo divine tool dimmed, eventually becoming a hoop that dropped from the air and attached itself to the back of Wang Chong’s head.

Wang Chong’s two Divine Embryos rapidly shrank and entered the halo.

The hall returned to normal.

It’s about time to take a trip to the Xu Clan, Wang Chong remarked to himself as he stood up.

Their marriage was nearing, and though the exact details were being handled by the elders of the clans and the go-between in the Imperial Court, there were some things that he needed to personally handle.

Moreover... it was high time he went to meet with Qiqin.

Buzz!

Wang Chong had barely had this idea and was about to leave the hall, when...

Bang!

The earth rumbled, and a familiar voice rang out in his mind.

“Development in Sindhu! King of Foreign Lands, hurry to Hyderabad!”

The booming voice was tinged with weakness and anxiety.

The Sindhu High Priest!

After a moment of shock, Wang Chong recognized the voice and paled.

Though Wang Chong had not interacted with him much, he had left an incredibly deep impression on his mind.

Wang Chong was able to establish his renowned Wushang Cavalry because of the Sindhu High Priest.

All the Wootz Steel weapons were forged from Hyderabad ore.

But it had been several years since they had last met, and strictly speaking, Wang Chong had never even seen his face.

Wang Chong had never imagined that he would hear his voice at a time like this, carrying such an urgent tone.

Buzz!

Wang Chong suddenly thought of something and quickly took out the box the Sindhu High Priest had given him. As expected, the Sindhu High Priest’s voice once more came out of the box.

“This old priest doesn’t have many days left, but I have an important matter to relay to Your Highness... related to Heaven!”

The voice suddenly stopped speaking, and at the same time, the metal box in Wang Chong’s hand fell apart like it was made of sand.

Wang Chong looked at the pile of metal powder in his hand, his mind in turmoil.

Not many days left?

What did that mean?

What had happened in Sindhu?

Wang Chong felt extremely uneasy.

Wang Chong had been focused on the Central Plains this whole time, paying little attention to elsewhere. He had never imagined an incident like this.

The Hyderabad ore from Sindhu was closely linked to the Great Tang and Wang Chong’s future plans. Not only that, the Sindhu High Priest had mentioned Heaven in his message.

Wang Chong had met the Sindhu High Priest once, but he had never thought that the Sindhu High Priest was connected to Heaven. And what exactly had he meant?

Wang Chong stood in a daze for a while, one thought after another passing through his mind.

Everything had happened too suddenly, and he still needed time to digest it all.

Bang!

A few moments later, Wang Chong thought of something and shot out of the hall like a bolt of lightning.

......

As an ancient clan that had persisted through several dynasties and had its moments of glory, this was undoubtedly the most glorious moment in the Xu clan’s history.

The invincible and ever-victorious War Saint, the King of Foreign Lands who had made the Great Tang the strongest country in the world, had turned his favor on the Xu Clan, had been ‘cut down’ by their young lady. It seemed unthinkable.

Countless great clans in the capital were green with envy.

This was an enormous honor.

There had been countless talented heroes over the years, but all of them paled in comparison to the Great Tang’s King of Foreign Lands, and with the marriage between Wang and Xu, the Xu Clan would naturally share in his glory.

The Xu Clan Residence was brightly festooned, suffused with a joyous air that was on par with the Wang Clan.

But at this time, the rear garden of the Xu Clan Residence was quiet. All of the maids had been sent away, and even the patriarch had found some excuse to leave the residence.

All of this was because the Xu Clan’s son-in-law had just paid a visit.

Gurgle!

Within Xu Qiqin’s room, tea poured out from an exquisite teapot of red porcelain into an equally exquisite cup. The gurgling sound of water filled the room, paired with the fragrance of the tea.

“You plan on heading to Sindhu, right?” Xu Qiqin asked once she finished listening to Wang Chong.

She was graceful and composed, still that fairy from Wang Chong’s memories that could make one feel love at first sight.

“This...” Wang Chong hesitated a few moments before saying, “I’m still not decided.”

“My love, there is no need to worry about me.”

Xu Qiqin smiled, apparently knowing what Wang Chong was thinking.

Their wedding was nearing, and Wang Chong was clearly worried about her, leaving him unable to make up his mind.

“Hyderabad is extremely important to the Great Tang, and Sindhu is providing manpower for the Promised Land. No matter what, Chong, you should go.

“When the Sindhu High Priest gave you that metal box, it appeared to be a way to protect yourself against men in black in hiding, but it now seems that the High Priest expected this situation and was making arrangements.

“From this, we can see that the High Priest’s connection to the Celestial God Organization might be closer than we imagined. He must also have more information at his grasp than we imagined.

“Heaven’s location has always been a mystery, and even now, my love, you have not been able to get any information on him. At present, the High Priest is perhaps the only one who knows Heaven’s secrets.”

Xu Qiqin put down the teapot and calmly said, “This humble woman feels that Chong should go to Sindhu no matter what.”

“But... there’s only one month.”

Wang Chong hesitated.

After living through a life in which he had lost so much, he had become more keenly aware of how precious the people around him were. Wang Chong hoped to always protect Xu Qiqin and the important people around him until they were all white-haired and wrinkled. This was why he was so hesitant.

“Heh, dear Chong, with your cultivation, going back and forth won’t take that much time. Moreover, I know that if you don’t go, you’ll feel regret for the rest of your life!” Xu Qiqin softly said.
