Zhou Tanhua looked back and saw Mortal Sovereign standing three feet away from him, gazing at him quietly.

She was still surrounded by the red Qi, making it impossible for the others to see her true appearance.

​​

Zhou Tanhua took a deep breath and asked, "Why did you want us to stay here and cultivate? Can you tell us the reason?"

In his opinion, this matter is absolutely fraudulent.

Could it be that she wants to wait for us, mother and son to cultivate to the peak before eating us?

Zhou Tanhua couldn't help but shudder at the thought of this.

"It's too chaotic outside. You can only cultivate in peace here," replied Mortal Sovereign. Her voice was still cold as if she was devoid of any emotion whatsoever.

Zhou Tanhua furrowed his brow. He didn't know how to answer this.

Xian Xianghua suddenly opened her eyes and asked, looking at Mortal Sovereign, "Is the Celestial Demon Rebirth Technique somehow related to you?"

She discovered that the exercise taught by Mortal Sovereign was very similar to the Celestial Demon Rebirth Technique.

Back then, she ran amok in the Northern Wilderness relying on this technique.

She was invincible.

"The Celestial Demon Rebirth Technique isn't suitable for mortals, don't you know that?"

Mortal Sovereign replied. She paused a little before continuing, "Even in the Kunlun Origin Court, there are very few exercises that can completely retain bloodline, aptitude, artifacts, as well as memories after rebirth. The reason why you can do it is because of this Queen. Because this Queen has been governing the principles of the Celestial Demon Rebirth Technique. Your rebirth is because of this Queen."

"All the worlds in this universe could never escape from Mortal Qi."

The Mortal Qi had diffused to each and every plane in existence. It was definitely one of the most powerful principles.

Realization suddenly dawned upon Xian Xianghua. She sighed and stated, "It turns out that the Celestial Demon Rebirth Technique had such an origin. If I had delved into it back then, the situation might have been different."

Mortal Sovereign flew into the air before the Mortal Qi in the space gathered behind her, forming a red chair. After she took a seat on it, she said, "Actually, this Queen had chosen you a long time ago. This Queen has been protecting you since your birth. Otherwise, how could you survive till this day? Every genius is either supported by great opportunities, or a huge backing. You neither had an extraordinary past life nor an outstanding bloodline. Had you not been this Queen's successor, how could you go on to this day. This Queen has been watching you from the Northern Wilderness, the Great Thousand World, the Demon Real, to the Great Eliminations."

Zhou Tanhua's eyes widened in shock upon hearing this. Even Xian Xianghua was stunned.

Mortal Sovereign was indeed right.

For example, Zhou Xuanji could reach his current level because of his eighteen-star aptitude.

Ren Niming was destiny's reincarnation.

Ying Zhuge was the reincarnation of a powerful expert.

The rise of any genius wasn't ever a coincidence.

Zhou Tanhua couldn't help but ask, "What about when we have successfully cultivated? Can your Eminem let us go then?"

He used 'your Eminem' to lower his posture.

In order to save their lives, he had to bow his head.

Mortal Sovereign replied, gazing at him, "But of course. This Queen doesn't want to imprison you. But there are many people outside targeting you. You can only leave when your father arrives."

Zhou Tanhua's eyes widened as he asked in astonishment, "My father is alright!?"

Zhou Xuanji had been missing for over three centuries. He had already prepared himself for the worst.

"Naturally, he is fine. He is someone who will be the next Sovereign, how can he not be fine?" Mortal Sovereign replied, making Zhou Tanhua ecstatic.

The same went for Xian Xianghua. She beamed with joy. Nonetheless, she curiously asked, "Your Eminem has such confidence in him!?"

She could tell that Mortal Sovereign was also optimistic about Zhou Xuanji.

Considering Mortal Sovereign's strength, she hoped that Mortal Sovereign wouldn't be Zhou Xuanji's enemy.

"If this Queen says he can do it, then he can," Mortal God stated with a snort. Her tone was extremely domineering.

Xian Xianghua burst with joy upon hearing this. She beamed like the bright and sunny sky after the passing of a storm. The weight of Zhou Xuanji's disappearance had completely disappeared.

Zhou Tanhua, on the other hand, was immersed in his thoughts.

Mortal Sovereign gazed at Zhou Tanhua and stated, "You have perfectly inherited your father's Exterminating Divine Eyes. But you can't overly rely on them. Be like your father, the Exterminating Divine Eyes is just one of his cards, he even has other better abilities up his sleeve."

Zhou Tanhua was gobsmacked by the fact that his father still had cards stronger than the Exterminating Divine Eyes.

Xian Xianghua nodded and meaningfully added, "Don't forget what your father is renowned for."

Sword!

Zhou Tanhua suddenly remembered that Zhou Xuanji could always bring out a stronger sword.

Over the course of Zhou Xuanji's rising success, he was able to overcome all the obstacles and surpass an invincible enemy thanks to the endless legendary swords in his arsenal.

Could it be that...

Zhou Tanhua was shocked. Zhou Xuanji's image in his heart became extremely lofty and mysterious.

...

In the Void Boundary, Beast Sovereign had almost reached a full recovery.

Zhou Xuanji then asked, "Can you return by yourself?"

Looking at Beast Sovereign, his heart was assailed with emotions.

Beast Sovereign, who used to be overbearing, now looked so desolate.

Beast Sovereign forced a smile as he replied, "But of course. I should also go back and clean up the mess."

He no longer addressed himself as this Sovereign. It was proof of the change in his mentality.

After the two bid farewell, Beast Sovereign flew toward the Kunlun Origin Court.

Zhou Xuanji stood in his place, watching him leave until he had disappeared into the depths of the void. Only then did he finally turn around.

He was no longer in awe of Beast Sovereign as he was before. Now he was just repaying his past kindness.

Afterward...

BOOM!

Zhou Xuanji's momentum skyrocketed as surging Vital Energy flowed out of the Tianxia Map, pouring into his body.

He was preparing to break through to the Origin Fusion Divine Lord Realm in one fell swoop!

After killing so many creatures and absorbing the cultivation of more than one billion of them, he could have broken through a long time ago whenever he wished.

The Thunderclap Sword instantly appeared above his head out of thin air, waiting for the arrival of lightning.

He then took out Lesser Supreme Sword and summoned Little Sovereign to ask what he needed to pay attention to when breaking through to the Origin Fusion Divine Lord Realm.

"Relax, you just need to go with the flow. You have already achieved the Impenetrable Sovereign Physique. It will be a piece of cake for you to break through to the Origin Fusion Divine Lord Realm," Little Sovereign replied with a smile. Since Zhou Xuanji had acquired the Impenetrable Sovereign Physique, he had become extremely relaxed.

Zhou Xuanji nodded and waited for the lightning tribulation to arrive.

Soon, lightning clouds gathered above him.

Purple flashes of lightning illuminated the Void Boundary as a pair of scary eyes emerged out of the dark clouds, gazing straight down at Zhou Xuanji.

Zhou Xuanji, on the other hand, patiently waited. The lightning tribulation was biding its time while his cultivation began to skyrocket.

He couldn't help but look at Little Sovereign, giving a suspicious look.

Little Sovereign laughed and explained, "Didn't I just say it!? You have the Impenetrable Sovereign Physique, how could the lightning tribulation dare to strike you?"

His tone was filled with a little envy. Even when he was the Sovereign, he hadn't acquired the Impenetrable Sovereign Physique.

The Impenetrable Sovereign Physique was a result of chance and coincidence. The chances of getting it was smaller than becoming the Sovereign.

Realization immediately dawned upon Zhou Xuanji. The corners of his lips involuntarily rose into a smile.

So, no matter what level I advance to, I'm no longer restricted by the principles!?

I can advance without any worry!

"You actually came back!" A familiar voice suddenly came from the side.

Zhou Xuanji immediately looked toward the source.

It was none other than Tianyi Divine Range Master, Nanmu Tianyi!

This old bast**d!

Zhou Xuanji's gaze turned cold as killing intent filled his heart.
