Chapter 866

The woodenly-stoic one, however, didn't understand what was going on, and could only force a few awkward laughs along with the crowd.

For a time, the plaza above was filled with cheers and laughter.

Master Xiaomeng was so embarrassed she nearly buried her head until her face was nowhere to be seen.

Fusu was also one of the clever ones; although neither Master Xiaomeng nor Zhang Daoling had ever said it outright,

Fusu could read between the lines—how could he not know that what Zhang Daoling meant was for Master Xiaomeng to offer herself and choose the Great Dragon Head Ximen Wudi as her companion?

By rights, with Master Xiaomeng's hidden ailment and the Great Dragon Head Ximen Wudi being a peerless figure under heaven, it was actually a decent solution.

But Master Xiaomeng was a Heaven's Way Gold List–level expert that the Daoists of Great Qin had spent tremendous effort creating for the Great Qin imperial house.

If after all that effort, the end result was simply delivering a woman to the Great Dragon Head Ximen Wudi,

not to mention anything else, even Hearing Ying Zheng would likely be utterly speechless.

Thinking of his old man's expression, Fusu dared not wait any longer and could only brace himself and say,

"Master Xiaomeng is, after all, a person of the Daoists, and also a mainstay of Great Qin.

May I ask the Fourth Dragon Head to instruct us—is there any other method?"

Senior Xiaoyaozi, hearing this, also couldn't help but stop laughing, gave Fusu a meaningful look, and then glanced at Master Xiaomeng again.

He saw that after Fusu spoke, Master Xiaomeng had slightly raised her head.

A trace of regret on her face, gone in a flash.

Senior Xiaoyaozi sighed inwardly—the Great Dragon Head truly has fine romantic luck!

Only this time, after all, it wasn't about finding the Great Dragon Head another companion.

He promptly gathered his thoughts, smiled, and said,

"Prince Fusu, you worry too much. This time, inviting you and Master Xiaomeng up the mountain is precisely to resolve the hidden ailment on Master Xiaomeng's body."

"Ah? That's wonderful. Fusu thanks the Fourth Dragon Head here."

Hearing this, Fusu was immediately overjoyed.

Originally, had the Qinglong Society been more forceful, Fusu could only have offered up Master Xiaomeng.

But who would have thought that Senior Xiaoyaozi, instead, made no such demand.

Master Xiaomeng, on the other hand, upon hearing Senior Xiaoyaozi's words, felt an inexplicable pang of loss in her heart.

"Then may I ask the Fourth Dragon Head, exactly how can Master Xiaomeng's hidden ailment be cured?"

Fusu asked impatiently.

Senior Xiaoyaozi no longer kept them in suspense, and suddenly flicked his hand through the air.

One could see the nearby heavens and earth change; the area around the plaza had originally been wreathed in clouds and mist.

With that single flick of his, the clouds parted and the mist dispersed.

Once the clouds and mist had cleared, several tall mountain peaks could be seen all around.

On the mountainsides, foothills, and even summits of these peaks, there were no few places with majestic palaces.

Even from very far away, the people of the various factions could sense it.

Those palaces were in no way inferior to their own imperial palaces.

Moreover, the scale of some of those palaces far surpassed their own imperial palaces.

The people of the various factions burst into exclamations and sighs of wonder once more.

Some said the Qinglong Summit was truly extraordinary; others said the Fourth Dragon Head's methods were heaven-reaching.

After a good stretch of uproar, Senior Xiaoyaozi finally raised his hand, signaling the crowd to be quiet, then pointed to a cluster of palaces in the north and said,

"That place is the world-famous Qinglong Society Elixir Pavilion!

So long as Master Xiaomeng takes one divine-grade elixir, her hidden ailment can be cured completely."

Elixir Pavilion?

Following Senior Xiaoyaozi's direction, the crowd immediately looked over.

They discovered that this Elixir Pavilion, though called a pavilion, was in truth a grand palace complex far surpassing their own imperial palaces in scale.

At that moment, near the Elixir Pavilion, quite a few celestial birds were dancing, as if it were a fairyland on earth.

Listening to Senior Xiaoyaozi's words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.

The Qinglong Society even has divine-grade elixirs—truly, its foundations are terrifying!

Since the one to the north is the Elixir Pavilion, then the other palace complexes are most likely the famous buildings of the Qinglong Summit:

the Mission Hall, the Divine Weapon Hall, and the Scripture Pavilion!

The crowd couldn't help but stare greedily.

"Then may I ask what conditions are required before the Qinglong Society will bestow a divine-grade elixir?"

Fusu turned his head back with difficulty and asked Senior Xiaoyaozi.

He naturally knew that divine-grade elixirs—even Great Qin had only a handful.

Whether they even had any at all, Fusu wasn't even sure.

The Qinglong Society's Elixir Pavilion was grand and majestic; clearly, it had no shortage of rare elixirs.

But no matter how plentiful, the Payebu Society surely wouldn't hand them over lightly, would they?

"Simple!"

Senior Xiaoyaozi no longer kept them in suspense, and directly spread his hand again.

One could see a ball of light and shadow floating above his palm.

Within this light and shadow, there was a hubbub of voices, a constant coming and going of people, to say nothing of

numerous carriages and horses, towers and terraces, and the like.

At first glance, it was as if one were looking at an entire city.

"Four Dragon Heads, what is this?"

Everyone pulled their gazes back from the distant palace complex and looked, intrigued, at Senior Xiaoyaozi's palm.

Even someone as aloof as Wu Zhao was, at this moment, looking over with a slightly stirred expression.

"This is an image of another world, displayed by a Dao-rhyme jade pendant bestowed by the Great Dragon Head."

Senior Xiaoyaozi truly held nothing back, explaining it openly to everyone on the spot.

Sure enough, the crowd discovered an ordinary-looking jade pendant in his other hand.

That jade pendant was almost identical to the one that had drawn them up to the Azure Dragon Peak.

It seemed this was indeed the handiwork of the Great Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi.

But an image of another world?

What is an image of another world?

Before the crowd could even ask, Senior Xiaoyaozi began explaining directly,

"Actually, starting from the Sword Realm, everyone should already know.

Although our Nine Provinces World is vast beyond measure, seemingly endless,

within the great myriad worlds, it is not the only one, right?"

Everyone present was from a major faction and naturally already knew something regarding the Sword Realm.

Hearing Senior Xiaoyaozi's question, they could not help nodding in unison in agreement.

"The Great Dragon Head said that in truth, the Nine Provinces World is not the only world.

In the vastness of the cosmos, there are in fact three thousand great worlds!

The Nine Provinces is merely one of them!"

Senior Xiaoyaozi's words would not stop until they had shocked everyone to death.

Once he finished speaking, whether it was Lord Qiye, or Seeing Lian Chengzhi, or even Wu Zhao, their expressions all changed drastically.

Wu Zhao came from another world and naturally knew worlds were not alone.

Only she had never imagined that within this cosmos, there were actually three thousand great worlds.

A world as vast and rich as the Nine Provinces was actually only one among three thousand great worlds!

"How could this be?"

At this moment, however, Lian Chengzhi felt his convictions somewhat crumbling.

Since becoming the Heavenly Locust of You Dongying, what he had tirelessly pursued was to lead You Dongying back to strike at the Nine Provinces.

At the very least, he wanted to take Yunzhou and achieve some great enterprise.
