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

Devouring the Heavenly Energy of a Heavenly Jewel Master was completely different from devouring that of a Heavenly Beast. Even the most powerful of Heavenly Beasts would have a hint of impure bestial elements in their Heavenly Energy, no matter how vast and distilled it was. After absorbing it, he would have to repeatedly filter and expel all of those impurities. In addition, Heavenly Beasts trained in a completely different way. Thus, after their Heavenly Energy was filter out only a small fraction would be available for Zhou Weiqing to use.

Dreamwake was different. She was a genuine Heavenly Jewel Master who had reached the Heavenly Emperor stage. The Heavenly Energy within her body was so pure, Zhou Weiqing had to sigh in awe. Although it was of a different Attribute from Zhou Weiqing’s Saint Energy, after he Devoured it he didn’t need to filter it at all. He simply needed to convert it into a replenishing source for his Saint Energy.

[1] The ‘real name’ of this technique is ‘Titty-Squeezing Dragon Claws’. It comes from an old Hong Kong quasi-satirical martial arts TV series that had some really ridiculous techniques in it.





Chapter 248: Dragon Claws… (2)


In addition, Zhou Weiqing had only Devoured a tiny part of her energy. He hadn’t actually affected Dreamwake’s core essence. Dreamwake would only need a few days to recover, as her core essence would allow her to quickly reach her normal peak power.

If he truly managed to devour a Heavenly Emperor’s Heavenly Energy and core essence then convert it into Saint Energy, Zhou Weiqing’s cultivation base would probably instantly skyrocket into the Heavenly King stage.

But of course, this was a virtually impossible task. First of all, his body might not be able to endure it, and more importantly there was no way he could resist a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse.

Even so, he had benefited enormously from today’s battle. After completely transforming the Heavenly Energy he had Devoured from Dreamwake into Saint Energy and then fusing it into his own Saint Energy, Zhou Weiqing realized that he had saved at least three months worth of hard cultivation.

In truth, if Dreamwake had immediately acted to employ her Heavenly Emperor energy to resist Zhou Weiqing, the latter would’ve only been able to employ his Devour skill for a brief instant. However, she had a bet with Zhou Weiqing! She had also been thoroughly shocked by the perverted Zhou Little Fatty using his ‘Something Something’ Dragon Claws. Not only had this resulted in her ‘allowing’ him to Devour her energies for an extended period of time, she had nearly lost control over herself from the provocations to her body. She had wanted to take revenge on Zhou Weiqing by challenging him to this fight, but instead the one who came out the worse was herself, a Heavenly Emperor.

After this day, Zhou Weiqing didn’t see Dreamwake for the next month. It was for the best. That way, he wouldn’t be beaten again. He had to suppress his energy when he fought her and he couldn’t even use his Saint Energy, which was a miserable feeling. He thus chose to instead stay in his room and continue to cultivate alongside Shangguan Bing’er.

Although it wasn’t as effective as when he cultivated with Tian’er, the Saint Energy in his body had after all already formed a complete circuit. He still improved quite quickly… but after reaching the nine-Jeweled stage, each breakthrough required an enormous amount of Heavenly Energy. To break through from the thirty-seventh level to the thirty-eighth level required an enormous accumulation of energy.

Zhou Weiqing also obliquely scouted about for information. Ever since they had met and spoken with the Tenebrous Demon Dragon, the entire Xuantian Palace had been in a state of bustling preparation. All ships that had been preparing to go out to sea were temporarily grounded, as the entire Xuantian Palace leapt into high gear.

“Consecrated Zhou.” A familiar voice rang out from outside. It wasn’t Dreamwake’s voice.

Zhou Weiqing opened his door, welcoming in his fellow God Tier Consolidating Equipment Master, ‘Nie Han’.

Nie Han glanced at Zhou Weiqing, then chuckled. “Consecrated Zhou, you are very good at enduring boredom! Ever since you entered Xuantian Palace, you have yet to leave a single time. You usually don’t even go outside. It is rare for young people like yourself to be able to endure boredom and train so hard. No wonder you’ve reached your current level of accomplishments.”

Zhou Weiqing smiled. “Compared to yourself and the various Elders, I’m still far from being a match. How can I not train hard?” But in his heart, he actually thought something different. What’s the point of leaving? To simply make Xuantian Palace’s people follow and spy on me? Compared to the Boundless Mainland, the Xuantian Continent is quite lacking. If it wasn’t for the Spatial Teleportation Gem, who would be willing to come to this place? Besides, I might end up needing to fight these powerhouses of Xuantian Palace at a moment’s notice. If I don’t train hard, how am I going to be able to safely survive all these dangers?

“Consecrated Nie, are you prepared to go hunt the Terror Sea Dragon? I’ve been eagerly looking forward to it. We’ve been preparing for quite some time,” Zhou Weiqing said.

Nie Han said, “I’ve come to notify you that five days from now, we’ll head out to hunt down that Terror Sea Dragon. The Palace Lord’s opinion is that it is best for you to stand guard at home.” Although Nie Han didn’t say it aloud, Zhou Weiqing could tell that they were worried that he was too weak.

Zhou Weiqing chuckled. “Chances like this come once in a lifetime. That senior, the Tenebrous Demon Dragon, promised to protect me. If I chose to retreat at a time like this, how would that senior view me? I’m definitely going to go. Don’t try to dissuade me, Consecrated Nie. However, my humble wife won’t be accompanying us.”

Nie Han nodded. “Very well. I came to notify you of what is about to happen. Since you have made up your mind, make your preparations. We are heading out in five days. I need to go discuss our strategies with the other Grand Elders.”

Zhou Weiqing watched as Nie Han left, then closed to door. His eyes then flickered briefly. Finally. They had waited for so long, but the day had finally come.

Shangguan Bing’er walked over to Zhou Weiqing. She took his large hand into her own, then sent mentally, “They seem to think very little of you. They aren’t even inviting you into their discussion as to how to handle the Terror Sea Dragon. Little Fatty, I keep on having a bad feeling about this. I think you shouldn’t go with them.”

Zhou Weiqing wrapped his arms around her, placing a tender kiss upon her red lips. “Silly girl. So many powerhouses will be present. If push comes to shove, I’ll just avoid taking part. Do you really think that your husband isn’t even strong enough to protect himself?”

Shangguan Bing’er raised her head, staring at him earnestly. “Little Fatty, I need you to remember something. If you die, I definitely won’t live on by myself.”

Zhou Weiqing’s heart clenched hard. His grip around Shangguan Bing’er instantly grew a bit tighter as well.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. On the morning of the sixth day, Nie Han personally came to summon Zhou Weiqing. All of them headed to the cliffs outside Xuantian Palace.

Shangguan Bing’er came to send them off as well. Often times, men would make decisions that their women couldn’t stop. Even though she felt rather uncomfortable about this, she didn’t try to dissuade him any further. She too believed that given Zhou Weiqing’s cultivation, it wouldn’t be too hard for him to extricate himself.

The others who had appeared at the cliff included the powerhouses of Xuantian Palace, including Palace Lord Dong Fang, the four Grand Elders, and the twelve Elders. Dreamwake, who Zhou Weiqing hadn’t seen for many days, naturally was present as well. However, Dreamwake didn’t even seem to recognize him. She didn’t so much as look at him. Given how many people were present, Zhou Weiqing couldn’t exactly run up to her and greet her either.

After seeing that everyone was ready, the Palace Lord said in a low voice, “Give the signal.”
