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

Dreamwake could no longer stay silent. “Misunderstanding? Was what happened when we jumped down the cliff also a misunderstanding? Your Demonic Change State is able to produce wings that allow you to fly. How could you possibly be so terrified when falling down a cliff?”


Zhou Weiqing was a grandmaster at finding excuses. He said reasonably, “That was a different situation. It all happened to suddenly. Besides, everyone has a fondness for beautiful things. You were right next to me, so I unconsciously clung to you in my fear. By the time I recovered my senses, I was already holding onto you. If I released you then, it would look like I was just pretending to be honorable, right? That’s why I just kept on hugging you. You can’t blame me! It’s your own fault for being so comfortable to hug.”

Dreamwake was nearly enraged to the point of laughter. This scoundrel was clearly in the wrong, but insisted on trying to argue his way out of it. He had clearly taken advantage of her, but now he was making it sound as though he had suffered a grave injustice. She had been feeling a bit nervous at the prospect of facing the Terror Sea Dragon, but Zhou Weiqing’s nonsense actually resulted in her relaxing slightly.

“I can’t be bothered with you. Just know that you’ll have to watch out for yourself later, because no one else will,” Dreamwake said irritably.

Zhou Weiqing chortled. “Does that mean you aren’t mad anymore? Y’know, you’ve been avoiding me for so many days that I really was heartbroken. I missed you so much I could hardly sleep.”

Dreamwake said angrily, “Shut your mouth. Every day and every night, you ‘busy’ yourself with your wife. Miss me so much that you can’t sleep? Do you take me for a fool?”

Zhou Weiqing stuttered, “Uh, well… I can miss you while being frisky with my wife, right?”

His voice was quite small when he said this, and Dreamwake was already in a fine rage. As a result, she somewhat misheard his words. She angrily turned to glare at him and said viciously, “You bastard! You actually dare to think about me when you are being frisky with your wife?!”

“Uh, t-that’s not what I mean,” Zhou Weiqing hastily replied.

None of the rest could hear what they were saying, but as absolute powerhouses everyone who was seated on the Tenebrous Demon Dragon’s back was able to tell that the two were engaging in a mental conversation. When they saw Dreamwake turn her head to glare at him with an embarrassed look on her face, the various elders couldn’t help but reveal rather odd looks.

Everyone was able to tell that something ha been going on between the two of them ever since Zhou Weiqing arrived. It was especially obvious when the two of them were together. The supreme powerhouses of Xuantian Palace were all wily old foxes. Although their faces remained impassive, it was hard to judge what they thought of all this.

Given how Zhou Weiqing was a handsome and talented youth, as they saw it he would be a good match for Dreamwake in a few years once he grew stronger. The problem was, he had come with a wife in tow!

Zhou Weiqing immediately lowered his head after Dreamwake glared at him, putting on show of being honest and aggrieved.

This was the first time Dreamwake had seen such a look on this fellow’s face. She couldn’t help but stare in shock. In her mind, this bad man was always proud, arrogant, and self-confident! She couldn’t help but soften when she saw him look like this, and so she let out a snort and then turned back, no longer paying him any attention.

By now, the Tenebrous Demon Dragon was flying over the deep ocean. The surface of the sea beneath its feet had transformed into a deep blue color, while the tenebrous demon clouds around it had suddenly vanished. It wasn’t because of how dense the atmospheric water energies were; rather, it was because the Tenebrous Demon Dragon had voluntarily dispelled it.

What is it up to? Zhou Weiqing was intrigued.

They continued to fly for an hour, venturing even deeper into the ocean before the Tenebrous Demon Dragon slowly began to come to a halt. All of the Xuantian Palace experts on the Tenebrous Demon Dragon suddenly retracted their auras as well, as though by unspoken accord.

Zhou Weiqing hadn’t taken part in the discussions over how to handle the Terror Sea Dragon, and so he didn’t know what they were going to do. All he could do was watch.

The Tenebrous Demon Dragon said in a rumbling voice, “Let’s begin. I can vaguely sense its aura. I will mask your energy ripples as best as I can, but you need to move quickly.”

Xuantian Palace Lord Dong Fang nodded, then led the others in rising to their feet atop the Tenebrous Demon Dragon’s back. Zhou Weiqing rose to his feet as well. He asked the Palace Leader, “Palace Leader, what do you need me to do?”

Dong Fang replied, “Just wait for us here. Once the battle erupts shortly, retreat and just watch from afar. We don’t need you to get involved.”

“Alright.” Zhou Weiqing immediately agreed. Watching as dragons fought from afar was quite a pleasing experience.

The many Xuantian Palace experts began to move in unison. The weakest was at least a Heavenly King, and the thirteen of them flew separately towards different directions. They each flew nearly a thousand meters before slowly landing on the surface of the sea. From Zhou Weiqing’s perspective, they had all transformed into tiny black dots.

The Tenebrous Demon Dragon hovered motionless at its original location, a strange spiritual ripple spreading out from its body. Heavenly Gods truly were impressive. Almost instantly, its powerful spiritual ripple completely covered all of the powerhouses of Xuantian Palace.

Streaks of black light simultaneously rose up off in the distance. Although Zhou Weiqing’s visual acuity was incredible, they were still too far away for him to tell what the Xuantian Palace powerhouses inside those beams of light were doing. All he could sense was that they were emanating ripples of incredible power.

“Senior, what are they doing?” Zhou Weiqing asked curiously.

The Tenebrous Demon Dragon clearly had a favorable impression of him. “Preparing to deal with that Terror Sea Dragon, of course. Terror Sea Dragons are incredibly powerful, and we’re fighting it in the ocean. If we simply try to clash against it head-on, even if we win we will suffer enormous losses in the process… and we can’t avoid the possibility that it might end up escaping. What they are doing right now is setting up a Tenebrous Demon Sealing Formation. It is an ancient formation which requires twelve powerhouses who are at or above the Heavenly King level and who have the Tenebrous Attribute to establish. Once this formation is established, not even a Heavenly God who enters it will be able to escape. All of the people who created the formation will have to be slain in order for the trapped person to break free. Within the Tenebrous Demon Sealing Formation, all types of Attributes aside from the Tenebrous Attribute will be forcibly kept at bay. We’ll do our best to lessen the amount of energy Terror Sea Dragon can borrow from the sea.”

Zhou Weiqing finally understood. “So they spent all this time preparing for this formation! It seems this grand formation requires an enormous amount of materials to establish.”

The Tenebrous Demon Dragon nodded. “This formation can also increase my power. For the sake of dealing with the Terror Sea Dragon, Xuantian Palace has brought out over half of their complete stockpile of Tenebrous Crystals. During the past month, they’ve been carving the formation onto the Tenebrous Crystals and linking them to their own bloodlines. Only by doing this can they cause the power of the Tenebrous Demon Sealing Formation to rise to its maximum power. Later, you should fly away and stay out of the range of the Tenebrous Demon Sealing Formation. So long as you remain outside, you shouldn’t be hit by the shockwaves.”

“Thank you for the guidance, Senior,” Zhou Weiqing said respectfully.

The Tenerous Demon Dragon suddenly let out a low chortle and then whispered to Zhou Weiqing, “Hey kid. Have you fallen for that lass, Dreamwake?”
