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

“Alright,” Zhou Weiqing said. A reminiscent look appeared in his eyes. He didn’t lie, nor was there anything to lie about. He simply narrated his tale. “I was born in a small country known as the Heavenly Bow Empire in the Boundless Mainland. Originally, I wasn’t even supposed to become a Heavenly Jeweled Master, but then one day…”

Although he was only in his twenties, he had a very rich history. He compressed the story as much as he could, but it still took him four full hours to tell his tale. By now, it was very late at night, and the two of them had already eaten quite a bit of food. Zhou Weiqing didn’t even know how many times he had added more wood which he had acquired from the trees behind them.

“Then why do you need to take the Spatial Teleportation Gem of our Xuantian Palace?” Dongfang Hanyue asked curiously.

Zhou Weiqing had narrated almost all the important events of his life. He didn’t even hold back on the details between him and his female ‘friends’, but he hadn’t spoken of why he needed the gem.

Zhou Weiqing shook his head and smiled. “That’s a secret. If you give me the gem, I’ll tell you.”

“In your dreams.” Dongfang Hanyue snorted. “Forget it then.”

The two briefly fell silent. The only sound which could be heard was the crackling of the fire as it broke down the wood.

“Compared to you, my history is much simpler. Weren’t you curious as to how I gained the power of a Heavenly Emperor and also became a God Tier Consolidating Equipment Master?” Dongfang Hanyue said in a low voice.

Zhou Weiqing nodded. He was indeed extremely curious.

Dongfang Hanyue murmured, “Actually, there’s no need for you to doubt your own talent, because it far surpasses mine. I’m absolutely certain that if I had to train by myself, even if I was several years older than you I still wouldn’t have your current level of power. The vast majority of my cultivation base was given to me.”

“Given to you?” Zhou Weiqing’s eyes were filled with surprise.

Dongfang Hanyue said, “You should’’ve been able to tell that every high-level member of Xuantian Palace has a legacy which grants us Tenebrous energies. In truth, that’s because of the Tenebrous Demon Dragon Bloodline which flows through our veins. Xuantian Palace, especially its leaders like myself and my ancestors, is composed of the progeny of a human who joined together with a Tenebrous Demon Dragon. Thus, from a certain perspective, I’m not a pure human being. I’m a Draconian.”

“My dragon ancestor was able to take human form due to his transformation technique. He married a human woman, resulting in our lineage being created. We have the physique of Tenebrous Demon Dragons, but the wisdom and talent of humans. That was what the foundation of Xuantian Palace was built on, and so we were able to develop and thrive. We have always had the Tenebrous Demon Dragon’s aid. That is where our Tenebrous Attribute comes from.

“As a result, we named ourselves ‘Demon Draconians’. Our race has a special legacy technique. Once the previous Palace Master is about to perish, he can transfer his cultivation base to the next Palace Master. Although not everything can be transferred, this legacy is still enough to ensure that the next Palace Master will become extremely powerful within a short period of time. Only those of us in the direct line of descent have the purest Bloodline necessary to engage in this ritual. I am the legacy inheritor of this generation. My father heavily injured himself as he forcibly tried to break into the Heavenly God level, and before he died he transferred his cultivation base to me.”

“Although this transfer process allowed me to quickly gain the power of a Heavenly Emperor, it also came too easily. I didn’t need to go through the process of accumulating power, and so I shall be limited to the Heavenly Emperor level for my entire life.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiqing finally understood where Xuantian Palace came from. Dongfang Hanyue was basically telling him all of Xuantian Palace’s secrets without holding anything back at all.

“Then who is ‘Palace Master Dong Fang’? Is he also a Grand Elder?” Zhou Weiqing asked.

Dongfang Hanyue shook her head. “She, actually. She is my mother. In order to temporarily assist me in overawing the Elders, my mother and I are temporarily managing Xuantian Palace together. However, I am still the leader. The first ‘Xuantian Palace Master’ you encountered was actually me. After that, I only appeared in my position as ‘God Tier Consolidating Equipment Master Dreamwake’, at which point you only saw my mother.”

Zhou Weiqing finally understood. “No wonder I felt something was off after the second meeting with her. So it was a different person. However, that mask of yours is truly marvelous. I couldn’t even tell if ‘Dong Fang’ was a man or a woman.”

A dreamy look appeared in Dongfang Hanyue’s eyes. “In many people’s eyes, the Xuantian Palace Master is forever a lofty and exalted figure. However, they don’t know how lonely this position is. Your background took hours to narrate, but mine only took a few sentences. If I could choose, I would rather choose to be an ordinary person.”

Zhou Weiqing said, “Although destiny has chosen you for certain tasks, you can also choose to try and change destiny.”

Dongfang Hanyue laughed bitterly. “Change? How? I bear the burden of my entire Bloodline’s legacy and have shouldered the responsibilities of managing Xuantian Palace. All I can do is to ensure that Xuantian Palace remains powerful.”

Suddenly, an incomparably powerful aura swept out of her body. Dongfang Hanyue slowly rose to her feet, her gaze turning sharp as she stared at Zhou Weiqing. “I have already recovered completely.”





Chapter 253: Let The Storm Rage Harder (1)


“I have already recovered completely.” Dongfang Hanyue slowly rose to her feet as she said these icy words, and the awesome presence of a Heavenly Emperor instantly swept out to crush down upon Zhou Weiqing.

It could be said that Zhou Weiqing had been caught completely off-guard. He never would’ve imagined that Dongfang Hanyue would suddenly act against him at a time like this. As they had chatted, she had already completely recovered her Heavenly Energy.

Zhou Weiqing continued to sit there, not moving in the slightest. He could clearly sense that if he made even the slightest of movements, the response would be an absolute brutal, tempestuous attack from Dongfang Hanyue.

A hint of a bitter smile played across his lips as he looked at her. “Does this count as repaying kindness with treachery?”

Dongfang Hanyue snorted. “Have you shown me kindness? And even if it is repaying kindness with treachery, so what? This is a deserted island. Who would even see it?”

Zhou Weiqing said in an aggrieved, lamenting voice, “Alas! Being a good guy really isn’t easy. Still… I guess this counts as you giving me a chance and an excuse to seize the Spatial Teleportation Gem?”

Dongfang Hanyue stared at him, rather surprised. “You seem quite confident in yourself.”

Zhou Weiqing chortled. “So long as you have confidence in yourself, you’ll always have a chance. If you don’t even have confidence, how are you supposed to keep living?”

A powerful killing intent instantly burst out from Dongfang Hanyue’s body. The terrifying pressure actually caused Zhou Weiqing’s body to slowly sink down into the sand.

When Heavenly Emperor powerhouses released all of their power, they were quite terrifying. However. Zhou Weiqing was no longer maintaining the fa?ade of a six-Jeweled cultivation. He simply sat there in the face of Dongfang Hanyue’s pressure, staring at her composedly. He didn’t have the slightest bit of enmity in his gaze, which actually turned extremely gentle. It was like he was watching his wife throw a minor tantrum.

“I’m going to attack!” Dongfang Hanyue said viciously, taking a step forward as her aura grew even more threatening.
