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

If someone had previously told Zhou Weiqing that they would be able to travel from one continent to another in just half a month, he never would’ve believed it. Now, however, it had just happened in front of him.

The Sea Emperor Shuttle gradually slowed down. Zhou Weiqing hadn’t simply been trying to travel fast, he also wanted to familiarize himself with his Astral Saint Core Nucleus. The better he understood it, the more stunned he became. He was now certain that after gaining the Astral Saint Core Nucleus, he was definitely amongst the powerhouses of the Boundless Mainland.

They finally reached the shore. Zhou Weiqing sent the Sea Emperor Shuttle rising back to the surface, then popped the lid open. He took a deep breath, inhaling the moist air of the seashore. Both of their spirits were invigorated.

This had been a much shorter trip, and the sense of loneliness didn’t really set in as much. Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing’er leapt onto the sand with his arm around her shoulders. He waved his right hand, causing a wave to push the Sea Emperor Shuttle to him. It flashed as it entered his Sumeru Ring. This feeling of having complete control over Heaven and Earth was absolutely marvelous.

Two balls of fire suddenly burst out of Zhou Weiqing’s chest. Accompanying the dense Fire Attribute energies were the great dragons Hui Yao and Duosi, who appeared next to Zhou Weiqing.

“I really didn’t imagine we’d be back so soon. Even if we flew all the way, we wouldn’t have been any faster. Weiqing, your Saint Attribute is truly marvelous!”

Despite Hui Yao’s power, he couldn’t help but let out a congratulatory sigh. In his heart, Zhou Weiqing’s status rose even higher.

Zhou Weiqing chortled. “Seniors, what do you plan to do next?”

Hui Yao said, “I’m extremely grateful for you having released us from the Luster Spatial Realm, but we cannot continue to stay by your side. We can vaguely sense where our children are, and we need to go find them. Take this.” Hui Yao opened his draconic mouth, shooting out a streak of red light towards Zhou Weiqing.

Zhou Weiqing lifted his hand up and accepted it. He lowered his head, seeing that it was a dark-red scale.

Hui Yao said, “This scale contains my Bloodline Aura. This is how you use it…” His voice disappeared as he instead mentally transmitted the method to Zhou Weiqing.

Zhou Weiqing nodded. “Thank you, senior.”

Hui Yao shook his head. “We should be the ones thanking you. Alright, let’s part ways here. I trust we’ll meet again in the future.” After finishing, he sent his great bulk soaring into the skies and disappeared.

Duo Si nodded towards Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing’er, then flew after her husband.

Zhou Weiqing watched as the two dragons vanished, then said, “Bing’er, let’s go.”

Shangguan Bing’er said, “Where should we go first?”

Zhou Weiqing said, “We naturally need to return to your Heaven’s Expanse Palace first. We need to tell my father-in-law the good news, that we’ve already summoned the great dragons back. Then we’ll head straight to Heaven’s Bow. It is time to save my parents.”

He had finally broken through to become a Heavenly King and consolidated his Astral Saint Core Nucleus. Zhou Weiqing was tremendously confident in his chances of rescuing his parents. The sooner he saved them, the sooner he could relax.

While chatting, he pulled Shangguan Bing’er into the sky and began to fly forwards. Given his current cultivation level, he no longer needed to rely on horses. Flying didn’t consume too much of his energy, and they didn’t even need for Bing’er to use her Wings of the Wind God.

A gentle breeze brushed past the two of them. As they rose into the air, they began to hasten westwards. To prevent others from noticing them, Zhou Weiqing even summoned some clouds to cover them. They flew forward above the clouds, almost like Immortals or Gods.

Even though Shangguan Bing’er had already experienced how powerful Zhou Weiqing had become while they were riding the Sea Emperor Shuttle, she was stunned once again as they flew. The wind seemed to have become their servant, supporting them, pushing them, and even covering and protecting them. The wind seemed to have become part of Zhou Weiqing’s body, and even high in the air they could still clearly see just how fast they were travelling judging from the land below them.

It only took a few days to go from the eastern seas to the Zhongtian Empire. Just a few more days after that, they saw Heavenly Jewel Island and Heaven’s Expanse Palace appear in the distant horizon.

Given Zhou Weiqing’s cultivation, he could’ve led Shangguan Bing’er to head inside directly. There were now very few people, even in Heaven’s Expanse Palace, who could stop him. This might incite some squabbling, but it wouldn’t cause any real problems.

However, Zhou Weiqing didn’t do this. For some reason, after his level had increased his entire mindset seemed to have changed as well. Simply put, he had become much more peaceful and calmer. His spirit had been upgraded, allowing him to reach a brand new level. Compared to the previous him, instead of growing more arrogant he actually became much more reserved.

Shangguan Bing’er had noticed this the most. If Zhou Weiqing previously shone like a dazzlingly sharp sword, he was now like a treasured blade hidden within the sheath.

The two landed outside Zhongtian City, following the Heavenly Pillars upwards. Shangguan Bing’er’s face was more effective than any writ of passage. Everyone knew the three Shangguan sisters! Besides, Zhou Weiqing himself did have a writ, and so they were unimpeded as they reached Heavenly Jewel Island.

As soon as they reached the island, the two were shocked. There were now two people waiting for them there. It was the mother and father of the three Shangguan sisters, Second Palace Lord Shangguan Tianyue and his wife Tang Xian.

However, it looked as though Shangguan Tianyue still had yet to fully win his wife’s heart back. Tang Xian stood four or five meters away from him, but when she saw Shangguan Bing’er she charged out like a gust of wind and pulled her daughter into her arms.

When parents had many children, even when they strove to be fair they couldn’t be completely impartial. Without question, of the three Shangguan sisters, Tang Xian doted on Bing’er the most, as she had viewed Bing’er as important as her own life for many years. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to wait here alongside Shangguan Tianyue as soon as she heard the news.

“Mother…” Shangguan Bing’er’s voice caught in her throat as she threw herself into her mother’s arms like a baby sparrow.

Shangguan Tianyue stood off to one side, watching them with eyes filled with warmth and gratification. He then turned to look at Zhou Weiqing.

“I didn’t expect you to succeed after just a bit over a year. Huh?” Shangguan Tianyue’s eyes lit up, and the way in which he gazed at Zhou Weiqing changed a bit.

Zhou Weiqing said curiously, “Milord father-in-law, how did you know that I completed the mission?”

Shangguan Tianyue didn’t answer. Instead, his gaze grew increasingly stunned as he stared at Zhou Weiqing. “Kid, your cultivation…”

Shangguan Tianyue felt as though Zhou Weiqing was nothing more than an ordinary person. The kid didn’t even seem to be a Heavenly Jewel Master, and didn’t even seem to have any Heavenly Energy ripples emanating form his body. But how could he possibly an ordinary person? If he was, how could he have so easily and calmly ascended the towering Heavenly Jewel Island? If he didn’t lose his cultivation, then… the answer had to be the exact opposite.

Shangguan Tianyue was a Heavenly Emperor, after all. If even he couldn’t see Zhou Weiqing’s true level, how could he not be surprised?
