Chapter 1926: The Vinegar of Lingge! The Patrol Envoy!
Blue Star, Magic Capital Manor.
The morning sunlight scattered, gilding the entire manor with a soft golden glow.
Flowers and plants flourished in the garden, spiritual mist swirled, and colorful butterflies fluttered about, like a fairyland.
At this moment, a slender figure in moon-white stood silently in the center of the garden.
She wore a moon-white long robe, its sleeves embroidered with faint gold star patterns.
Her bare feet were like snow, and a silver chain was tied around her right ankle, hanging with several small bells like stars.
This was Venerable Xiyue.
"Has Xu Jingming not returned yet?"
Venerable Xiyue's beautiful eyes swept slightly, her divine sense spreading like a tide, instantly covering the entire manor.
However, aside from a few Xu family guards, there was no one else in the manor.
She slightly shook her head, about to take out her communicator to ask again.
Suddenly, her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she looked toward the manor gate.
Only to see a streak of emerald light streak across the sky from the horizon, falling like a meteor before the manor gate.
The light faded, revealing a dignified and noble figure.
Silver hair flowed like moonlight, pointed ears crystalline, a pale silver long dress outlining a graceful figure.
This was the Sovereign of Lingge.
"Hmm? Lingge?"
Venerable Xiyue was slightly startled, looking at the newcomer with some surprise:
"How did you come to be here?"
The Sovereign of Lingge had obviously not expected to meet Venerable Xiyue here.
After a moment of stunned silence, she returned the salute:
"Venerable Xiyue."
She paused, her expression returning to its usual coldness, and said lightly:
"I came back together with Xu Jingming."
"You came back together with Xu Jingming?"
Venerable Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, even more puzzled:
"With your status, since you've come to Blue Star, why aren't you staying in the Divine Kingdom?"
"Divine Kingdom?"
Upon hearing this, the Sovereign of Lingge's moon-like eyes flickered slightly, and she let out a soft hum:
"Xu Jingming is busy taking care of his women, how could he have time to receive me?
Rather than stay there and bore myself, I might as well come to Blue Star."
She had thought her student Yueying would accompany her.
But after only a couple of hours, Yueying said Xu Jingming had summoned her, and then left.
She couldn't just stop her like before.
After all, Xu Jingming is stronger than her, and she doesn't want to get beaten again.
So she simply left the Divine Kingdom and came to Blue Star.
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Xiyue's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
How keen is she?
Almost instantly, she heard the unmistakable jealousy in Lingge's words.
But she did not expose it, merely smiling faintly.
At this moment—
"Hum!"
Above the manor, space rippled like a water surface.
Brilliant golden Lei Guang flashed, and a tall, upright figure stepped out of the void.
He wore black battle attire, his physique stalwart, his ink-black eyes deep as an abyss.
His aura was restrained, yet it carried a presence that made heaven and earth lose color.
This was Xu Jingming.
"Venerable Xiyue."
Xu Jingming landed in the garden, bowing slightly to Venerable Xiyue.
His gaze swept over Lingge beside him, somewhat surprised:
"Lingge, you're here too?"
"What, am I in your way here?"
The Sovereign of Lingge let out a soft hum, her tone carrying a hint of displeasure.
Xu Jingming was bewildered, what wind had this woman caught again?
But he also couldn't be bothered to argue, turning his head to look at Venerable Xiyue:
"Venerable Xiyue, what do you need from me?"
"Naturally, it's good news."
Venerable Xiyue smiled as she appraised Xu Jingming, her beautiful eyes full of approval:
"Xu Jingming, you're not bad.
The insect race has already released the videos.
You are merely at the Indestructible Sovereign stage, yet you surpass the Sovereign of Terminus in ability.
The morale of our entire human race has risen somewhat.
Thank you for the praise, my lord Xiyue.
Xu Jingming smiled faintly.
Upon reaching the Sovereign stage, unless one actively reveals their aura and strength,
even a Realm Venerable cannot discern the exact level.
Therefore, without seeing the scale of the divine kingdom,
Venerable Xiyue also does not know that he has already broken through to the Supreme Sovereign stage.
She only thought he was still merely an Indestructible Sovereign.
By the way, what about Frost Crown?
Didn't she come along? I left a message for her in the virtual universe, but she hasn't replied.
Venerable Xiyue asked with some doubt.
This time she came, she originally wanted to meet her niece.
But she didn't expect to be unable to get in touch.
"Ah..."
Xu Jingming cleared his throat, a faint trace of embarrassment flashing across his face:
"She is at a critical point in her cultivation, still in seclusion in her divine kingdom, and cannot meet for now."
Strictly speaking, Frost Crown Elder is now lying in the palace hall, rolling her eyes, her body so limp she can't even lift a finger.
Last night, Viya dragged her into special training all night.
Even though she is the Sovereign of Terminus, she now cannot get out of bed at all.
"Is that so?"
Venerable Xiyue glanced at him with some suspicion.
But she also knows that Xu Jingming just experienced a great battle, and Frost Crown just broke through to the Sovereign of Terminus.
This is precisely the time to consolidate her realm, so she didn't dwell on it further.
Upon hearing this, the Sovereign of Lingge beside them had her long elf ears slightly blush.
Although she hasn't seen that scene,
she knows without thinking what Xu Jingming means by "critical point."
'This bastard, daring to spout nonsense even in front of my lord Xiyue.'
Sovereign Lingge spat inwardly.
Fortunately, Venerable Xiyue did not pursue the matter, shifted the topic, and spoke solemnly:
"Alright, let's get down to business.
I came today to tell you.
After deliberation by my Eternal Star Alliance, I grant you the position of 'Star Patrol Envoy'."
"Star Patrol Envoy?"
As the words fell, Xu Jingming had not yet reacted.
But the Sovereign of Lingge beside him already let out a low cry of surprise.
Her eyes, like silver moon, suddenly widened, her exquisite face filled with shock.
"Star Patrol Envoy..."
Sovereign Lingge murmured these three words repeatedly, her heart stirred by tremendous waves.
That is the Star Patrol Envoy!
The highest position in the Eternal Star Alliance besides the alliance leader!
It can be called a high-ranking regional official!
"Star Patrol Envoy? What position is this?"
Xu Jingming looked doubtfully at Venerable Xiyue.
These years he has been busy with cultivation, and his understanding of internal affairs of the Eternal Star Alliance is indeed limited.
Venerable Xiyue smiled faintly and explained patiently:
"Star Patrol Envoy is, in my Eternal Star Alliance, the highest position besides the alliance leader.
Upon taking office, you will be responsible for monitoring the operation of the Eternal Star Alliance in one thousand high-level civilizations' cosmic nations.
At the same time, your authority in the virtual universe will also be raised to the highest.
By then, you may freely peruse the supreme-level martial arts scriptures stored by my Eternal Star Alliance."
She paused, then added:
"Of course, the supreme-level martial arts scriptures of other factions are also recorded in the virtual universe.
But those require a certain price to obtain."
"Star Patrol Envoy! Monitoring one thousand high-level civilizations' cosmic nations?"
Just hearing this title, Xu Jingming knew it was absolutely an extremely important position.
One thousand high-level civilizations' cosmic nations—what does that mean?
The entire human domain is only about ten thousand high-level civilizations' cosmic nations.
He alone would monitor one thousand of them!
But Xu Jingming pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly:
"My lord Xiyue, I fear I am not up to this position."
"You also know that my mind is now entirely on cultivation."
"If I take on this Star Patrol Envoy position, I fear I will have little time to fulfill my duties."
"By then, I would only be delaying the Star Alliance's important affairs."
Upon hearing this, the Rige Sovereign beside her could barely hold back.
She wished she could accept the position for Xu Jingming herself!
There is no way, this position is truly too important.
With this position, her breakthrough to the Ultimate Sovereign stage will be much easier.
Even, the entire elf race's status will undergo earth-shaking changes because she holds this position!
The Venerable Xiyue, however, seemed to have anticipated this, and upon hearing the words, merely gave a light laugh:
"It's fine."
She waved her hand and spoke gently:
"You still have two deputies."
"Deputies?"
Xu Jingming was startled.
"Hmm."
The Venerable Xiyue nodded, smiling:
"Under the Star Patrol Envoy, there are always two deputies.
You first attend to your own affairs, and when you have time, you may take up the post.
Moreover, after taking office, the vast majority of affairs can be delegated to the deputies."
She paused, then continued:
"Even, if you are dissatisfied with the current deputies, you can replace them.
Substitute them with people you trust, and it is equally acceptable."
"Can it really be done this way?"
Xu Jingming was truly stunned this time.
Is this really letting him become the Star Patrol Envoy?
This is clearly bestowing upon him a supreme title, along with two deputies to do his work!
"Of course."
The Venerable Xiyue chuckled lightly, her moon-white robe sleeve brushing gently, the silver star chains on her bare feet emitting a soft tinkling:
"This is the sincerity of my Eternal Star Alliance."
The Rige Sovereign beside her was now completely dazed.
Not only leaving the Star Patrol Envoy position vacant, but also promising so many privileges.
Even allowing Xu Jingming to replace the deputies, placing his own confidants!
How is this granting a position?
This is clearly asking Xu Jingming to come and be the grand old man!
My lord Xiyue's treatment of Xu Jingming is truly too good.
Of course, she also understands.
This is because Xu Jingming's talent and strength are truly too terrifying.
Terrifying to the point that even the colossal Eternal Star Alliance would spare no cost to win him over and bind him.
"In that case......"
Xu Jingming pondered for a moment, no longer declining, and spoke:
"Then I shall thank my lord Xiyue, and thank the Star Alliance for its kindness."
"Good."
The Venerable Xiyue nodded satisfactorily, the smile on her lovely face growing even softer:
"The appointment token will be sent to you in a few days.
At that time, your permission in the virtual universe will also be increased accordingly."
Xu Jingming nodded in acceptance.
But in his heart, he had already begun to calculate.
The highest permission in the virtual universe, allowing unrestricted browsing of supreme-level martial arts secret manuals......
This is, for him, no different than another cultivation treasure trove.
Especially the follow-up essence blood clues of the 《True Magic Treasure Canon》.
Perhaps he could also find some leads in the vast information database of the virtual universe.
