Chapter 1 Awaiting

Seeing his wife off, Qiao Moke finally felt relieved. He casually flicked his sleeves, sat cross-legged outside the Heavenly Prison, his expression calm.

Only in his lowered eyes did a hint of solemn light flicker.

"Whether this person is friend or foe, whether they truly harbor ulterior motives, I must make some preparations early..."

Qiao Moke murmured in his heart, his divine will re-entering the Divine Court Heavenly Net.

Gazing at the boundless night sky, akin to a sea of stars, Qiao Moke no longer hesitated. He directly emptied his Dao power and exchanged it for a Tier 3 god, the ‘Western Extremes Broad-Eyed’ god seed.

Various Dao insights flowed into his heart, and information about the ‘Western Extremes Broad-Eyed’, its divine abilities, and cultivation methods, circulated before his eyes.

The uses of a god seed were endless.

It could be activated as a template in times of crisis, or it could be studied step by step to refine all kinds of divine powers, or even refined into ‘pills’ or ‘magical treasures’ for cultivation or protection.

And at this time, he was going to refine this Tier 3 god seed into that ‘Crimson Dragon Binding Cord’ which could bind gods, capture immortals, and seize dragons.

Although this ‘Crimson Dragon Binding Cord’ was not as good as the Tier 4 secret treasure ‘Immortal Binding Cord’, once it was refined, he would at least be safe…

Qiao Moke did not have to wait long. In less than half a day, the prison door opened again, and Lin Boxun slowly walked out, and Qiao Moke wondered if it was his imagination.

Qiao Moke clearly sensed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

It was the satisfaction of a hungry old glutton after feasting on delicacies, but this was clearly a Heavenly Prison…

"You are very smart, you didn't try to escape."

Lin Boxun glanced at Qiao Moke, feeling even more satisfied. This trip was worthwhile, not only allowing him to accumulate a large amount of source power but also gaining such a proud son of luck.

Qiao Moke remained silent.

Lin Boxun didn't mind. He casually flicked a pill to the pale-faced old warden behind him before saying:

"I still have to stay in Prisoner City for some time. Find a place to wait, and after a few days, follow this young master back to the Imperial Court."

After speaking, he ignored Qiao Moke and walked towards the next Heavenly Prison.

Watching Lin Boxun's figure gradually fade away, Qiao Moke's heart was filled with deeper dread and a greater sense of alarm.

"This person's aura seems to be even stronger..."

…

Flying was prohibited in Lingquan Dao, hence, it had the widest and straightest official roads of Da Zhou. If someone looked down from a high place, they could see:

Official roads running across all directions, like dragons, straight and orderly. Where there were rivers, bridges were built; where there were mountains, tunnels were dug. There was absolutely no place that needed to be bypassed.

A carriage pulled by strange beasts sped along the official road, the scenery on both sides flashing by quickly. Its speed was extremely fast.

"Don't let anything happen..."

Inside a carriage as large as a house, Xi Yingqing gently caressed her lower abdomen, her heart filled with worry. A sword cultivator's mind was clear, and they could often sense unusual auras.

At this time, looking at the gloomy Heavenly Prison Prisoner City, which was like a crouching beast, she vaguely felt an extremely greedy gaze watching her.

Making her feel a little chilled.

Because she sensed the danger, she did not hesitate to leave Prisoner City, not wanting to burden Qiao Moke, but she was still worried in her heart.

She wanted to contact Qiao Moke, but after thinking about it, she gave up.

The Divine Court Heavenly Net had been open for twenty years. Relying on this Divine Court, even if they were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, they still had means to communicate with each other.

"Hmm? It's him..."

Xi Yingqing was worried, and could not help but lift the curtain of the carriage to get some fresh air. After casually glanced around, she suddenly frowned.

On the official road not far away, there was a slightly crude carriage. The carriage had no roof, and was empty like a flatbed. At this time, a ragged fat man was squatting on the flatbed, sighing.

The fat man was extremely tall, even when sitting, he was about ten feet tall. His body was even more bloated, and his thick neck was comparable to the strange beasts pulling the carriage.

Such a conspicuous figure naturally attracted more than just Xi Yingqing. Passersby all looked at him, whispering and giggling behind their hands.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen such a handsome young man before?"

The fat man was already in a bad mood, and when he was laughed at, his fat face suddenly darkened, and his voice was like thunder as he rebuked the passersby.

Looking around, he suddenly saw Xi Yingqing, and was overjoyed: "Sister-in-law Qiao? You haven't left yet?"

The fat man exclaimed, and his movements were also extremely smooth. With a flip, he landed on Xi Yingqing's carriage.

Roar~

The four strange beasts pulling the carriage all wailed, almost being crushed to the ground.

"Liu Dachan?"

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Xi Yingqing looked at the tall fat man in front of her, her heart filled with surprise and doubt: "How did you escape?"

This fat man was named Liu Dachan. Like her and Qiao Moke, he was also a person with a god seed, and also one of the people captured by the Jingye Si (Night Watch Division).

"Escape? The Prisoner City Heavenly Prison has a Yuanshen (Primordial Spirit) great cultivator guarding it. I don't have the ability to escape. It was the Jingye Si who released us."

The fat man shook his head repeatedly, his fat face also carrying a hint of hesitation: "I heard that two days ago, a great figure from the Imperial Court spoke and released us..."

"Two days ago?"

Xi Yingqing was even more surprised.

Da Zhou had extremely strict control over the people. Non-approved cultivators were not allowed to establish sects, and spreading non-approved sacrificial gods was also not allowed.

It was just that compared to the former, the latter was slightly more lenient.

Who could have spoken to release them all?

Moreover, if they were released so early, why weren't she and Qiao Moke released together…

"No matter what, now that we're out, the Jingye Si shouldn't be able to catch us again..."

Liu Dachan patted his belly, his face relaxed: "After this Heavenly Sacrifice Assembly, let's ask the Imperial Court for a place to establish a sect, away from this Lingquan Dao, so that we don't have to be so restrained in spreading our teachings..."

Seeing an old friend, Liu Dachan was in a great mood.

The reason why he stayed in this Lingquan Dao was for the Da Zhou Imperial Court's ‘Ten Thousand Laws Converging’ ‘Heavenly Sacrifice Assembly’.

In fact, cultivators within Da Zhou, whether they were Jindan (Golden Core) or Yuanshen, regardless of whether they wanted to establish a sect or spread their teachings, they absolutely could not bypass the Da Zhou Imperial Court.

If not, he would never have been willing to stay in this Lingquan Dao.

"I hope so."

Xi Yingqing sighed. That was what she had originally thought, but…

"By the way, Sister-in-law Qiao, where's Brother Qiao?"

Liu Dachan belatedly realized that Qiao Moke was not in the carriage, and was immediately surprised: "Brother Qiao used to be inseparable from you, how come you're about to give birth, and he's not by your side to serve you?"

"He has other things to do, and told me to go to the Imperial Court to find his master first..."

Xi Yingqing forced a smile.

"Brother Qiao's master!"

Liu Dachan smacked his lips, full of curiosity: "Is Brother Qiao's master one of us? I wonder what tier god the senior has cultivated?"

Although Qiao Moke was unknown in Da Zhou's cultivation world, he was very famous among them.

His Great Dragon Elephant Divine Power was extremely fierce, and coupled with his ‘Giant Spirit God Seed’, it was not only fierce, it simply had the aura of the legendary ultimate Yang and ultimate firmness.

Wouldn't his master be a big, thick thigh?

"Shouldn't be…"

Xi Yingqing first shook her head, but when she thought of the divine shadow that frightened away the Wuchang Palace that day, she nodded again: "Perhaps? What tier god, I don't know…"

"Perhaps it's the legendary Tier 4 god?"

Liu Dachan tentatively guessed: "I heard someone say before that the one codenamed ‘Crown Prince’ in the Great Wilderness Dao has already collected the Divine Sharp Fire-Tipped Spear, the Immeasurable Universe Ring, and the Seven-Foot Mixed Sky Silk, and only needs the invincible Wind Fire Wheels to cultivate the Tier 4 god ‘Three Altar Sea Society’..."

Saying this, Liu Dachan was full of envy. That was almost his greatest desire.

Within the Divine Court Heavenly Net, gods were almost endless, but after twenty years of exploration, they still had some understanding.

The endless god seeds were all in this huge network from Tier 0 to Tier 7.

Among them, Tier 0 was the lowest, such as Earth Gods and Mountain Gods. Although they had divine power, they had no divine abilities, and often their divine power could only be used in specific locations.

Tier 1 was just the height of initial involvement in cultivation.

Tier 2 gods were the strongest, already comparable to Jindan Nine-Turn great cultivators, and also the stage where most Shendao (God Path) cultivators were now.

Qiao Moke's Giant Spirit God, Xi Yingqing's Azure Bird, and his Treasure Delivery Boy, were all Tier 2 gods.

As for Tier 3 gods, they only knew a few, but each one was extremely powerful. For example, the great god codenamed ‘Crown Prince’ was rumored to have used the ‘Divine Sharp Fire-Tipped Spear’ to defeat three Yuanshen great cultivators in one breath.

And in an extremely disadvantageous situation, he nailed one of them to Qiongming Mountain, a battle that shook all Shendao cultivators.

As for higher-level information, there was only a little bit gained when receiving the inheritance of the ‘god seed’.

Such as ‘Three Altar Sea Society’, if the ‘Crown Prince’ himself had not spoken, no one would have known its inheritance.

But some people guessed that it must have surpassed the Yuanshen realm, perhaps, it was the legendary realm of immortality!

"It's just a rumor, don't believe it."

Xi Yingqing just shook her head, greatly disbelieving.

She came from a sect after all, and knew more than this fat man. The Yuanshen realm was almost the peak of the human world. Most of the legendary existences were only at this realm.

Even the founding emperors of the three great dynasties of Da Zhou, Da Liang, and Yuhua, only took half a step above Yuanshen, and did not truly set foot in ‘Creation’.

Although the Divine Court Heavenly Net had all kinds of divine abilities, the ‘Crown Prince’ was only comparable to three Yuanshen a few years ago. How could he have reached that step in just a few years?

Qiao Moke had also exchanged several god seeds for her, and she had also opened the Divine Court Heavenly Net ten years ago.

"Where is it a rumor? I heard that the ‘Crown Prince’ has also come to Lingquan Dao. This information has all been confirmed by a great god!"

Liu Dachan shook his head repeatedly, his tone filled with great emotion: "Tier 4 god, if I could cultivate it…"

"I'm a little tired, go away."

Xi Yingqing was a little tired, put down the curtain, and stopped talking to the fat man.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Liu Dachan didn't care that Xi Yingqing didn't want to talk, and smiled and twisted his body to sit down: "Don't worry, sister-in-law! I, Da Liu, have always been righteous, I will definitely send you to the Imperial Court safely!"

Saying that, he reached out and patted the buttocks of the four beasts pulling the carriage heavily.

Roar~

The beasts were startled and immediately accelerated, speeding away.
