Chapter 5857
Kai’s spirits lifted; this was exactly what he needed.
“Palace Master, what kind of existence is the Divine Race? Why are they so arrogant and xenophobic? Just how strong are they? And what realm is their patriarch?” Kai asked several questions in a row.
The Palace Master composed himself and slowly began to speak:
“The Divine Race is not a single race, but a vast and ancient alliance.”
“They claim to be descendants of ancient primordial gods and demons, their bloodline imbued with divinity, naturally attuned to various laws, their cultivation speed far surpassing ordinary races, and their lifespans far exceeding theirs.”
“This has instilled in them a deep-seated sense of superiority, viewing other races as ‘mortals’ and ‘inferior beings.’”
“The Divine Race is further divided into many branches, such as the ‘Ice God Branch,’ from which I originate, specializing in ice-based laws; there are also the ‘Fire God Branch,’ the ‘Thunder God Branch,’ the ‘Wood God Branch,’ and so on, each with its own strengths.”
“The various branches jointly elect a ‘Divine Emperor’ to govern the entire race, under whom are established a ‘Council of Elders’ and a ‘Hall of Divine Generals.’”
“The current Divine Emperor is said to have reigned for over 30,000 years, his cultivation unfathomable, at least… at the Golden Immortal realm!”
Golden Immortal!
Kai’s pupils constricted.
Above the Celestial Immortal is the Upper Immortal, above the Upper Immortal is the True Immortal!
And above the True Immortal is the Golden Immortal.
That was a truly peerless powerhouse capable of dominating an entire realm and establishing a new lineage!
Kai’s head started to ache at the thought. With his current strength, even a mere Immortal could easily kill him!
He dared not even consider taking on a Golden Immortal?
He wouldn’t dare dream of it unless Mr. Shi could help him.
But regardless, he had to rescue Wan Jianxing in the end; after all, Wan Jianxing was a hall master of the Heavenly Dragon Palace.
“The reason the Divine Race is so xenophobic is partly due to their sense of bloodline superiority, and partly because they possess many ancient secrets and powerful inheritances, which they fear being leaked.”
“At the same time, they need to maintain the purity of their divine lineage, therefore strictly prohibiting intermarriage with other races, especially for a saintess like myself; the rules are outrageously strict.”
The Palace Master sneered, “The Sword Star incident is just the tip of the iceberg. Countless similar tragedies have unfolded over the past hundred years.”
“Then the Northern Underworld Divine Race…”
“The Northern Underworld Divine Race is actually a force I established after arriving in the Eternal Ice Plains, by gathering some Ice God branch members who were also dissatisfied with the Divine Race or frustrated within it.”
The Palace Master explained, “Nominally, we are still a branch of the Divine Race, under their control, but in reality, we have already become disloyal.”
“The Divine Race is aware of my intentions, so they have always been on guard and monitoring us. Your rampage here has likely already alerted the main Divine Race.”
Kai’s heart sank.
If this attracted the attention of the main Divine Race, the trouble would be immense. The Palace Master, noticing his worry, said calmly, “Don’t worry, the main sect of the Divine Race won’t easily intervene in the short term. They’re used to their arrogance and will only think it’s the Northern Underworld Palace’s incompetence.”
“Besides, I’ve been operating here for thousands of years, and I’m not without my trump cards. Even if the main sect of the Divine Race sends people, I have room to maneuver.”
“The most urgent thing is for you to improve your strength as quickly as possible. Your cultivation technique is extremely special, seemingly encompassing all things and possessing dragon might, with limitless potential. But your realm is too low; you’re still no match for the true powerhouses of the Divine Race.”
Kai nodded, “I understand. So after obtaining the Blood Lotus this time, I plan to go to the Eleventh Heaven to find the Earth Core Jade Marrow Milk, and also to seek an opportunity for a breakthrough.”
“The Eleventh Heaven…”
the Palace Master pondered, “It’s more dangerous there than the Tenth Heaven, and the competition for resources is even fiercer. However, with your strength and potential, it’s worth a try.”
“My Northern Underworld Palace also has several hidden strongholds in the Eleventh Heaven, which can provide you with some information and assistance.”
Saying this, she took out an ice-blue, rhombus-shaped token and handed it to Kai: “This is the Northern Underworld Token. With this token, you can obtain certain assistance at my Northern Underworld Palace’s strongholds in the Eleventh Heaven.” Kai
took the token; it was icy cold to the touch. The front was engraved with the character “冥” (Underworld), while the back was covered with intricate snowflake patterns.
He carefully put it away: “Thank you, Palace Master.”
Kai carefully put the token away. He knew that with the Palace Master’s strength, she could easily venture into the Eleventh Heaven, or even the Twelfth Heaven.
It seemed that staying here was an order from the main sect of the Divine Race, preventing her from wandering around.
“No need to thank me. You are the successor of Sword Star, just like my junior.”
The Palace Master’s tone softened considerably. “You will rest in this hall tonight. I will have someone bring you healing pills.”
“Tomorrow morning, I will take you to retrieve the Blood Lotus and tell you some precautions regarding the Eleventh Heaven.”
She stood up. “Rest well.” ”
Palace Master, I didn’t know beforehand that I had killed so many disciples of your Northern Underworld Palace. I…”
Seeing the Palace Master about to leave, Kai said apologetically.
“It’s alright…” After the Palace Master finished speaking, she gently waved her hand.
Inside a transparent light barrier, the disciples of the Northern Underworld Palace that Kai had killed lay one by one.
Even Han Yu, the Third Divine General, was there.
However, these people seemed to be asleep.
“Don’t worry, as long as they are within this icy plain, their souls will not be destroyed and will recover.”
After saying this, the Palace Master drifted away, leaving Kai and the other two in the quiet side hall.
