Heavenly Jewel Change Volume 7 (Chapter 208-Chapter 258)

…


“Weiqing, are you in?” A knocking sound rang from the door as Dreamwake’s gentle voice came from outside.

Ever since they had met the Tenebrous Demon Dragon a few days ago, Zhou Weiqing had not seen Dreamwake since. Originally, he thought she was angry with him, but currently from her tone, he could not hear any of that.

Shangguan Bing’er walked to open the door, greeting: “Consecrated Dreamwake, please enter.”

Dreamwake smiled as she shook her head, saying: “I won’t be entering now. We are about to go against the Tenebrous Demon Dragon soon, and I am here to invite Weiqing to come discuss our plans with the others.”

At this point, Zhou Weiqing also walked over. He did not know why but when he saw the gentle smile on Dreamwake’s face, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

“Is it necessary for me to be there for the strategy discussion? Anyway, I am just there to watch.” Zhou Weiqing scratched his head awkwardly.

Dreamwake laughed heartily, saying: “How could you say that? In our eyes, you are a genius unparalleled in history, and will remain unmatched in the future. Furthermore, as you said, you are going there to learn and experience, so this strategy meeting will be of good use to you too. Come on.” As she said that, she turned to leave.

Zhou Weiqing gave Shangguan Bing’er an assuring glance before following behind Dreamwake.

Dreamwake walked at the front, not speaking to him at all. Very quickly, both of them arrived at the teleportation formation of the sixth storey.

Zhou Weiqing thought to himself: Could I have guessed wrongly? Are we really going to the Heavenly Hall to have a meeting?

Dreamwake continued her silence, and before Zhou Weiqing could think further, the twisting light of being warped flashed, and their figures vanished instantly.

However, very quickly, Zhou Weiqing realised something was wrong. When they reappeared once more, it was not in the Heavenly Hall like the previous time. Instead, it was in a broad open space.

The floor seemed to be paved with asphalt, but there seemed to be a strange illusory quality to the entire area, though it seemed so vast that even Zhou Weiqing could not see an end.

No good! I’ve been tricked! Zhou Weiqing’s heart gripped. Towards Dreamwake’s true power, he did not have a good grasp. Furthermore, in this new spatial zone, he did not know how to leave. If any problems arose, that would be extremely troublesome.

Having reached her destination, the smile on Dreamwake’s face had vanished, her gaze turning cold.

“Zhou Weiqing, die!” An abrupt pressure, as massive as a mountain smashing down upon him, burst forth from Dreamwake’s body, accompanying her right palm striking forward, a thick Heavenly Energy reverberation descending from the skies like a massive palm down towards his head.

Oh crap, has she discovered my identity? This was the first notion in Zhou Weiqing’s heart. This palm strike from Dreamwake was clearly far beyond what a six-Jeweled Heavenly Jewel Master could withstand.

A silver flash of light, as Zhou Weiqing activated his Blink Skill, appearing more than a dozen metres away from his original position. In a massive explosion, the place he had been standing at a split second ago exploded with a loud bang, the resulting shock waves actually causing him to fly back further.

“Dreamwake, what are you doing? Are you crazy?!” Zhou Weiqing yelled in shock and fury. The acting was perfect, voice, tone and even the expression on his face. At the same time, his mind and heart was spinning like crazy as he tried to think of a solution as quickly as possible.

The first thing he needed to judge was whether or not Dreamwake really knew about his identity. If that was the case, then this was a fight he could not avoid. The only thing he could do then was to capture Dreamwake; that would be his only ticket out of the entire situation. Furthermore, Bing’er was still in the XuanTian Citadel!

Dreamwake’s first attack had failed, but she instantly launched a second one. A thick white Heavenly Energy coalesced itself into a longsword in midair, the tip of the sword lancing towards Zhou Weiqing’s chest in a flash of white light.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Weiqing had made a resolute decision instantly. Shouting angrily: “Come kill me if you want!” He actually stood there, not even attempting to dodge any further.

The white sword glare reached his chest instantly. In that moment, Zhou Weiqing’s heart had risen up to his throat. Even if he did not make any attempt to dodge or block it, he had the confidence that this sword strike would not kill him outright, or even critically injure him. However, if that really happened, then it meant his worst fears had come true, and Dreamwake had discovered his identity and was adamant on killing him. This would greatly affect his entire plan. As such, this could be said to be one last key bet that would influence his entire quest to the XuanTian Continent.

In a flash of light, the sword abruptly stopped just half chi away from his chest, the keen sword qi even causing goosebumps to appear on his chest area. The Immortal Deity Shield was already gathered at his skin level; if not for Zhou Weiqing suppressing it with his Saint Energy, it would have already erupted out to protect him automatically.

“Why aren’t you dodging anymore?” Dreamwake said coldly.

Zhou Weiqing said angrily: “You are at least at the Heavenly King stage or higher. Being able to dodge once is already a miracle, but can I keep dodging? Furthermore, this is in a Spatial area of your choosing… no matter what, the final result is death, right? In that case, I might as well die in a straightforward fashion instead of wasting time. Come on then, kill me.”

Closing his eyes with his head held high, hands behind his back, Zhou Weiqing looked the picture of a heroic martyr accepting his death bravely.

Dreamwake said coldly: “Don’t you want to know why I wish to kill you?”

Naturally, Zhou Weiqing would not fall for such a tactic. His eyes remained close as he retorted: “Dying is dying, what is the point of knowing all that? Hurry up, make it quick and painless.”

Suddenly, the stabbing pain on his skin vanished. Zhou Weiqing opened his eyes once more, only to see that the sword-light in front of him had vanished without a trace.

Dreamwake stared at him hatefully. “Zhou Weiqing, you bastard. You dared to molest me! Even if I can’t kill you, I’ll definitely make you pay a price for what you did. Don’t say I gave you no chance at all. I’ll only use the six-Jeweled cultivation level to fight you. If you can beat me, I’ll send you out of this place. Otherwise, I really will kill you.”

Zhou Weiqing actually calmed down when he saw that angry look in her eyes. As he had thought, it was because of what had happened the other day. She hadn’t discovered his true identity after all. It made sense! He didn’t make any mistakes at all; how could she have discovered who he was?

“Then what if I win?” Zhou Weiqing’s eyes spun craftily as he said this.

Dreamwake said coldly, “If you win, then we’ll just forget about what happened the other day.”

Zhou Weiqing snorted. “If you only use the six-Jeweled cultivation stage, you probably won’t be a match for me. However… who can guarantee that you won’t cheat? Your cultivation stage vastly surpasses mine, after all.”

Dreamwake was enraged. “What type of a person do you think I am? I’ve never gone back on my words before!”
