At night.

Within a hall in the residence of Imperial Wind Clan, Imperial Wind High Mountain, Housekeeper Tong, and the three Clan Elders of the Imperial Wind Clan, including the brothers Imperial Wind Lei and Imperial Wind Jin were gathered here.

“Master, Third Lady has returned.” An expert came into the palace hall and announced respectfully.

The eyes of Imperial Wind High Mountain, Imperial Wind Lei, Imperial Wind Jin, Housekeeper Tong, and the three Clan Elders brightened. Imperial Wind High Mountain even ordered: “Alright, you retreat first.”

They had been waiting.

Waiting for Imperial Wind Qing Yin to return. They even ordered for someone to let her in the moment Imperial Wind Qing Yin returned.

“I wonder what are the thoughts of Senior Flying Snow.” Housekeeper Tong mumbled.

“I hope he will choose to continue his stay in High Mountain City.” Imperial Wind High Mountain was slightly nervous. The entire Imperial Wind Clan was in great jubilation after crossing through the calamity. And Imperial Wind High Mountain also began having ‘ambitious thoughts’. If an expert with a combat strength at the Late Stage God Emperor was willing to remain in High Mountain City, it would be greatly beneficial to their Imperial Wind Clan.

Footsteps could be heard coming from outside. Imperial Wind Qing Yin came in. When she saw her father, brothers, and the Clan Elders gathered here, she could not help but falter.

“Qing Yin, hurry up and come in. Have a seat first.” Imperial Wind High Mountain ordered with a smile.

“Yes, father.” Imperial Wind Qing Yin sat down nervously.

“Third Sister, Senior Flying Snow has done a great deal for our Imperial Wind Clan. Has he given any orders on what we Imperial Wind Clan should do as repayment?” Imperial Wind Lei asked.

Imperial Wind Qing Yin shook her head: “Nope. Teacher hasn’t asked the Imperial Wind Clan to do anything for him.”

“Has Senior Flying Snow considered leaving our High Mountain City?” Imperial Wind Lei continued with another question. Imperial Wind High Mountain and the others became nervous when this question was asked.

If he saved their Imperial Wind Clan and then leaving after that!

Then the future for Imperial Wind Clan would not be so different from now. Their High Mountain City would remain as one of the many small and desolate cities across the vast Divine Realm, and it would remain as unremarkable as ever! According to their deduction, the probability of God Emperor Flying Snow leaving was high. Firstly, such experts would usually have their own goals and ambitions like resources or treasures. Few would ever live in a small city. Secondly, God Emperor Flying Snow had remained low-profile and lived in seclusion before. He should not be someone who liked dispute. This time, after killing ‘Devil Heart Cultist Master’, his name would definitely spread across the whole Divine Realm. By then, it would definitely cause some dispute regarding his raking. And once he left the High Mountain City, he would likely find some other cities to live in seclusion so as to prevent others from finding him. The Imperial Wind Clan had at least tried before. They could not trace down this ‘God Emperor Flying Snow’ at all. According to the intelligence, it was practically impossible for one to trace an Ascendant God Emperor at all.

“Nope.” Imperial Wind Qing Yin looked at his father and others with bewilderment. She shook her head, “Teacher hasn’t said he will be leaving!”

At that moment, Imperial Wind High Mountain and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

“Teacher has only mentioned that he dislikes disturbance. He has asked me to inform Father and you guys not to disturb him if there’s nothing important.” Imperial Wind Qing Yin added.

“That should be the case!” Imperial Wind High Mountain revealed a grin, “Cultivation is incredibly important for Senior Flying Snow. Given his identity, not everyone is qualified to meet him. All of you hear this carefully, if there is nothing important, don’t go over and disturb Senior Flying Snow.”

“Yes.” Imperial Wind Lei and the others acknowledged.

Imperial Wind High Mountain smiled even more vibrantly.

Disliked disturbance?

As long as ‘Senior Flying Snow’ remained in the High Mountain City, various sects from the surrounding cities would have to treat his Imperial Wind Clan differently! It would also be much easier for their Imperial Wind Clan to do trade with other cities.

‘This Senior Flying Snow dislikes disturbances. But there will always be some everyday affairs that have to be handled. Since he doesn’t have any attendants, the most appropriate ones to send some would naturally be from our Imperial Wind Clan.’ Imperial Wind High Mountain felt more delighted in his heart.

“Qing Yin.” Imperial Wind High Mountain asked, “Senior Flying Snow doesn’t want others to disturb him. But it should be fine for you as a disciple to meet your teacher right?”

“I can meet Teacher anytime.” Imperial Wind Qing Yin replied.

“Alright.” Imperial Wind High Mountain chuckled, “Qing Yin, your teacher, Senior Flying Snow, has done a great deal for our Imperial Wind Clan. This favor is something that we have to remember deep in our hearts. Understand?”

“Mn, I understand.” Imperial Wind Qing Yin nodded.

…

It was clear that the Imperial Wind Clan wanted to board the ship of ‘God Emperor Flying Snow’!

And on this night.

The Eastern Wood City had received this news too.

“Mn?” Eastern Wood City Master sat alone on the peak of a mountain in his city. He was constantly fusing with this world as one entity. Wearing a green robe, his aura was vast and distanced just like the great world. Opening his eyes, he revealed astonishment, “A Middle Stage Ascendant God Emperor actually appeared in that little High Mountain City? And his strength is comparable to Late Stage God Emperors?”

“God Emperor Flying Snow?”

Eastern Wood City Master slightly frowned.

Talking about this, the Eastern Wood City was the strongest sect over a large swathe of area around him! A little city like the High Mountain City had to look up at the Eastern Wood City with bated breaths. But now, an expert with a combat strength of a Late Stage God Emperor actually appeared within this region! One had to know that Eastern Wood City Master was merely a Late Stage God Emperor.

‘He could injure God Emperor Devil Heart in one single move and shatter his body in three. This strength is definitely that of a Late Stage God Emperor’s. Fortunately, judging by his personality, he doesn’t like competition. He has been living in seclusion within High Mountain City without exposing his strength.’ Eastern Wood City Master nodded slightly, ‘I have to send a team of emissary to visit this God Emperor Flying Snow.’

No matter what, he had to send over some goodwill.

Eastern Wood City Master was someone who did not like fighting too! It’s just that cultivating the Ancestral God bloodline had harsh demands on resources and treasures! In addition, the entire Eastern Wood Clan relied on him. Hence, Eastern Wood City Master had to compete for various resources too.

…

Those with relatively good sources of news would know of Devil Heart Cultist Master’s fall in just one or two days. And they understood that an additional overlord had emerged in this Divine Realm! Fortunately, that expert was located in a region covered by Eastern Wood City Master, and his influence to experts in other regions could be be neglected.

******

High Mountain City, Flying Snow Residence.

Located high up a pavilion.

Xue Ying sat cross-legged by himself. He was pondering over his Chaotic Origin Refinement Body.

Even though he had come out with several versions that could increase the strength of his body to that of a Middle Stage God Emperor, they were all unstable! It would either increase the strength of his arms, or his legs, or his abdomen and back… Xue Ying had yet to find a way to strengthen his entire body while maintaining stability.

‘Who would have thought that my strength is made public because of my disciple’s matter.’

‘It’s fine too! If some trouble comes, perhaps it might allow me to experience more tribulations.’ Xue Ying was fully confident. Actually, even if his strength was made public, reaching his level, few would come seek him for trouble!

‘Wait until the God Emperor Ranking List changes… my name will then be broadcast far and wide. If Great Emperor North River is in this world, he would find out about this.’ Xue Ying smiled and looked forward to it.

The world that Great Emperor North River had been transported to should most likely be this world as well.

He had an enmity with North River.

‘I wonder how will North River react.’ Xue Ying remained indifferent.

And this indifference stemmed from his strength.

Just by relying on his Dao of Void, even though his Chaotic Origin Refinement Body had yet to be stable, he could still maintain the strength of a ‘Late Stage God Emperor’ for an hour. This was comparable to a Great Emperor’s strength in the Broken Teeth Mountain Range!

He even had his Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm that could influence ‘Grand Perfection God Emperors’––that was also comparable to Supremes in the Broken Teeth Mountain Range!

When he dealt against the Devil Heart Cultist Master, Xue Ying had never cast the ‘Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm’ at all.

If he were to release his full strength.

With the Dao of Mirage and Illusory Realm coupled with the strength of a ‘Late Stage God Emperor’ rendered using his Dao of Void, Xue Ying could even fight with Supremes! Even if he were on the disadvantaged end… survival was no issue. Even if he had other trouble in this Divine Realm, he had his ‘Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique’! It was because of his strength that Xue Ying could continue living in seclusion within High Mountain City despite killing Devil Heart Cultist Master.

“Master.” A protector came over to the bottom of the pavilion, announcing, “Xing Pavilion Master from the Heaven’s Will Pavilion has come to pay a visit.”

“Oh, let him in.” Xue Ying ordered.

“Yes.” The protector rapidly withdrew.

Soon.

Xing Pavilion Master began climbing up to the pavilion. When he saw that white-robed young man seated there, he bowed respectfully: “God Emperor, the newest God Emperor Ranking List is out.” Saying that, a scroll appeared in his hand.

Xue Ying chuckled. Waving his hand, that scroll began flying over: “It is fine for you to send a subordinate over for such a minor matter. Yet you, a Pavilion Master, has come personally?”

“God Emperor shouldn’t be teasing me! I am merely a pavilion master for the Heaven’s Will Pavilion in High Mountain City. It is my honor to pass this scroll to God Emperor.” Xing Pavilion Master said.

Xue Ying smiled and began unscrolling it. He began looking through the changes made to the God Emperor Ranking List because of him. Every single time the God Emperor Ranking List changed, a new version would be released.
