Zhou Muhuang nodded slightly after hearing what Ye Futian said and said, "I understand."
The mighty ones behind him looked at Ye Futian meaningfully. It would have been a pity for Ye Futian to have missed such an opportunity. After all, he was a man of exceptional talent and had a high chance of becoming a major figure in the future.
If he could have joined the Domain Chief's Manor to train, he would have been able to avoid many detours.
Most importantly, Ye Futian had a lot of enemies. For those geniuses, too many of them had perished along the way. If Ye Futian could enter the Domain Chief's Manor to cultivate and receive the protection of the Domain Chief's Manor in the Shangqing Domain, it would undoubtedly be a lot less risky for him. However, Ye Futian still chose Four Corner Village.
Zhou Muhuang looked up at the crowd and said, "Many of you here are the top figures in the Shangqing Domain. I'm afraid it's impossible for you to not take a look at the divine casket. If you do take a look, don't interfere with the others. Whether or not you can comprehend anything will depend on yourselves."
Everyone nodded. There was nothing else they could say after Zhou Muhuang had said so.
At that moment, Zhou Muhuang walked up to the sky above the divine casket and took a look inside. With just one look, astonishing will of the great path surged around him, yet those terrifying eyes of his continued to stare at the divine casket. He only closed his eyes after a while and backed away.
Many were amazed at what they saw. He was indeed a top-notch figure. While Zhou Muhuang's cultivation was only one level higher than Muyun Lan and Mo Ke's, the difference of one level was like a huge chasm. No matter how extraordinary Muyun Lan, Mo Ke, and the others were, if they were to run into Zhou Muhuang, they would not have stood a chance even if they worked together.
"So, this is what a great emperor is like," Zhou Muhuang murmured. Zhou Muhuang murmured to himself. His aura was ethereal, giving off a sense of transcendence. He felt that those ancient characters seemed to have broken away from the scope of the Great Path, or rather, they were the Great Path created by Shenjia the Great Emperor himself.
Many ancient characters were carved into his body. His body was the embodiment of the great path.
At that moment, a figure walked to Zhou Muhuang's side. It was a woman with stunning beauty and an air of elegance. She looked like a true Jiutian Goddess.
That woman was Zhou Muhuang's younger sister and the daughter of the chief, Zhou Lingxi.
Zhou Lingxi looked at Zhou Muhuang, who said, "You must be careful if you want to see it. The level that Shenjia the Great Emperor reached back then was already unfathomable to us mere mortals. Whatever powers we're good at are meaningless before him. You'll have to be mentally prepared if you want to see it," Zhou Muhuang said with a sigh.
"I want to see it." Zhou Lingxi replied with determination in her eyes. She was willing to pay the price, but she would not be satisfied until she saw the sacred remains with her own eyes.
"Let's see." Zhou Muhuang nodded and did not stop Zhou Lingxi.
Zhou Lingxi walked forward. She was shrouded in holy light, which made her look even more graceful and ethereal.
The princess of the Domain Chief's Manor was also an extraordinary and enchanting figure. She was a cultivation genius with a perfect Great Path of the Sixth Plane. With one more step, she could enter the high-level Renhuang plane. By then, how terrifying would the potential of the Domain Chief's Manor be?
Aside from the chief, her children were all outstanding geniuses as well.
Zhou Lingxi walked forward and took a look at the divine casket. There was no miracle. Even though she was the princess of the Domain Chief's Manor, she was still sent flying after just one look. Her eyes were bleeding, and her aura was in turmoil. She was sent flying, and fresh blood flowed down her cheeks. She covered her face with her eyes, looking extremely wretched.
Seeing a peerless empress in such a pitiful state, many people felt some sympathy for her.
Zhou Muhuang came to her side and looked at her without saying anything. Zhou Lingxi gradually steadied herself after a while. She moved her hands away, and her eyes were still bloodshot when she opened them. There was a hint of withered beauty in her eyes, as if she could pass away at any moment.
"Are you alright?" Zhou Muhuang asked.
"I'm fine." Zhou Lingxi shook her head. Wisps of mist appeared as she wiped the blood off her face, but her eyes were still bloodshot. It was apparent that the look just then had hurt her greatly. She was only at the sixth plane, after all. She was still much weaker than Muyun Lan and Mo Ke.
Many murmured, as if they were discussing something. Many looked at Ye Futian with admiration.
Zhou Lingxi's observation of the divine casket made it even more obvious how rare what Ye Futian had done.
He was compared to Muyun Lan and Mo Ke before, and he still did better than them. Zhou Lingxi's level of cultivation was also higher than Ye Futian's, and everyone saw what happened with their own eyes.
Zhou Lingxi's eyes turned and landed on Ye Futian. She walked towards him with light steps, causing Ye Futian's expression to change.
Zhou Lingxi soon stood next to Ye Futian and bowed slightly to him. Ye Futian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Princess Lingxi, what is the reason for this?"
"I'd like to ask you something, Sir Ye," Zhou Lingxi said. Ye Futian looked at her and said, "If there's anything you need, Princess Lingxi, please don't hesitate to ask."
"I was able to see what was inside the divine casket with just one look, and I was unable to bear it, which made me realize how extraordinary you are, Mr. Ye. However, I was able to see what was inside the casket with just one look. I'd like to ask why you weren't hurt by the sacred remains inside the casket, Mr. Ye," Zhou Lingxi said.
Many looked surprised when they heard what she said. Zhou Lingxi was not the only one who wanted to know; the others were curious as well. Mo Ke had asked about it before, but Ye Futian had no intention of answering.
But now, the princess of the Domain Chief's Manor, a proud daughter of heaven, was asking for his help so sincerely after being injured. Ye Futian would not have been able to turn her down, would he?
Ye Futian looked at Zhou Lingxi. He would not have been able to turn down the princess's request.
However, it was rather complicated for him to be able to see the sacred remains, and it involved the secrets of the World Tree. As such, there was no way he would have told her everything.
He was even wondering if Zhou Lingxi was genuinely asking for his help, or if she was deliberately using such a method to find out something.
It seemed like the former. She had tried it herself, after all, and was severely injured. Both Zhou Muhuang and Zhou Lingxi of the Domain Chief's Manor were very polite to him.
"If it's inconvenient for you to tell me, Mr. Ye, I apologize for my rudeness. Please forgive me, Mr. Ye," Zhou Lingxi continued when she saw Ye Futian looking at her. She then bowed slightly to him.
"It's not inconvenient. It's just that the reason I was able to see the sacred remains has something to do with the uniqueness of my own training. Furthermore, I had a fortuitous encounter in the Donghua Domain, which allowed me to resist it for a while. However, none of that means much to you, Princess," Ye Futian said.
"I see." Zhou Lingxi nodded. "If that's the case, it seems like I won't have the chance to see the sacred remains. Since you have the ability to do so, Mr. Ye, let's see if you can sense the will of the ancient gods from the sacred remains."
