Chapter 438: The Girl and the Spirit Light God Pool
The mysterious conditions of these young people from the Divine Kingdom along with the two Divine Kings, of course, made all the martial artists from the lower realm curious.
"Who is that Little Provincial Princess?"
"How did she get two great Divine Kings to wait for her?!"
Many martial artists murmured to themselves.
Next to Ye Chen, Fang Hua was even more startled and promptly sent a telepathic message to Ye Chen, "Brother Ye Chen, do you remember when I previously mentioned that I had heard the descendant of a formidable figure would come here?"
Ye Chen nodded, "Could it be this Little Provincial Princess?"
Fang Hua indeed had said before that a descendant of a great figure would come, and he also mentioned it was a beautiful girl.
Considering Fang Hua's current expression and the words of the two Divine Kings, Ye Chen immediately guessed that the person Fang Hua referred to might well be this Little Provincial Princess.
Fang Hua nodded repeatedly, his voice trembling as he sent his message, "Previously I had no idea whose descendant would come, but to think it's the daughter of the East Territory King! Good heavens, with a status so exalted, why would she come here!"
"Who is the East Territory King? Why are all of you so shocked?" Ye Chen asked Fang Hua.
Ye Chen's knowledge of the notable figures from the Divine Kingdom was extremely limited; he had never even heard of the East Territory King. Explore stories on empire
Fang Hua's voice shook as he replied, "Brother Ye Chen, our Wanmu Mountain Divine Kingdom is divided into four provinces and the Divine Capital, making up five major sections. The Divine Capital is personally overseen by the Divine Kingdom's ruler. The four provinces, on the other hand, are each bestowed upon four kings. The East Territory King governs the vast East Province of our Divine Kingdom, ruling over innumerable celestial continents within the East Territory!"
"With such a great being, who even has countless Divine Venerable powerhouses at his beck and call, tell me, isn't that terrifying! It's rumored that his realm even surpasses the Divine Venerable Realm, a realm that we can't even begin to imagine!"
Heaven.
The words of Fang Hua deeply shocked Ye Chen.
Ye Chen had once heard about the Wanmu Mountain Divine Kingdom from the nine Ice Guardians, a colossal entity that ruled over the vast expanse of the Wanmu Mountain Star Region and countless celestial continents!
In comparison to countless other lower realms like the Minor Spirit Realm and the thirty-three continents, Wanmu Mountain Divine Kingdom was a behemoth.
This colossal entity was divided into five parts, and the East Territory King governed one of them! The power of this East Territory King was certainly among the highest in the entire Divine Kingdom!
Such a figure, surpassing the Divine Venerable Realm, naturally astonished Ye Chen!
Ye Chen finally understood why the two Divine Kings were treating the Little Provincial Princess with such solemnity and why the young people from the Divine Kingdom had become so quiet and well-behaved upon hearing the words "Little Provincial Princess".
The daughter of such a being must possess an extremely prestigious status.
However, Ye Chen was also curious, with such a figure available to instruct the Little Provincial Princess, why would she come to the Minor Pole Sky secret realm for cultivation?
Filled with curiosity, Ye Chen, like everyone else, waited with the two Divine Kings for the arrival of the Little Provincial Princess.
This wait turned into a lengthy half-day.
Many martial artists from the lower realm became a bit anxious, but the two Divine Kings showed no sign of impatience, still waiting quietly.
With the two Divine Kings looking like this, no one else dared to say much, and they could only continue to wait.
About half an hour later, a strange spatial fluctuation suddenly emanated from above the side hall of the Infinity God Temple where everyone was located.
Waves upon waves of ripples spread across the top of the side hall.
Then, amidst an outpouring of endless divine light, two figures stepped directly out of the space at the top, appearing within the void of the side hall.
This Infinity God Temple was built by a Divine Venerable, so being able to appear directly from the hall's ceiling rather than entering through the entrance suggested that the person employing this method might be a Divine Venerable powerhouse!
When the ripples in the void appeared, Ye Chen turned his gaze straight toward the two figures.
He saw that one of the figures was a woman in red, with a spider-shaped mark between her eyebrows.
The woman's face was hazy, impossible to see clearly, and when Ye Chen looked at her, he felt as if her presence contained a vortex of space and time hidden within, which nearly pulled Ye Chen's Divine Soul into it at a glance!
This feeling of his Divine Soul being ensnared was even more intense than when Ye Chen had previously looked at the plaque outside of the Infinity God Temple!
This woman obviously possessed tremendous power!
Very likely, she was even more formidable than the strong being who left behind the "Infinity God Temple" plaque!
Startled, Ye Chen quickly moved his gaze away from the red-robed woman and looked at the other figure.
Ye Chen saw that the other figure was a pretty little girl in white, about twelve or thirteen years old.
To call her a little girl was actually more like saying she was a little loli!
The girl was only as tall as Ye Chen's shoulders, clearly not yet fully grown.
Although she hadn't fully grown, one could already see the immense potential for beauty in this girl. What caught Ye Chen's attention the most, though, were her spirited eyes. The girl's bright eyes were turning around as she looked at the crowd in the great hall below, appearing to be quite lively and mischievous.
When the girl's gaze met Ye Chen's, he even perceived a sense of curiosity and probing in her eyes.
Spirited! Intelligent!
That was Ye Chen's first impression of this pretty little loli.
"Could it be, this little loli is the Little Provincial Princess? She's so young?" Ye Chen pondered in his heart.
While Ye Chen was sizing up the two sudden arrivals, two Divine Kings directly knelt on the ground towards the two figures: "Greetings to the Little Provincial Princess! Greetings to 'Divine Venerable Hong Zhu'!"
When he heard the words "Little Provincial Princess" and "Divine Venerable," Ye Chen's heart shook: "This little loli, is indeed the Little Provincial Princess! Divine Venerable? The red-clothed woman accompanying her, Divine Venerable Hong Zhu?! A major power of the Divine Venerable Realm?!"
This was Ye Chen's first encounter with a character of the Divine Venerable level!
As Ye Chen was in a daze, more than thirty youths of various Divine Kingdoms also knelt on the ground: "Greetings to the Little Provincial Princess, greetings to Divine Venerable Hong Zhu!"
It was only the warriors from the lower realm who either hadn't realized what was happening or were in a daze, that did not kneel to greet them.
However, the two figures in the void did not seem to blame them.
The Little Provincial Princess giggled and said to the crowd below, "Don't be so polite, get up quickly. I'm here to cultivate, no need for so many formalities."
With a giggle and a flutter, the Little Provincial Princess moved and arrived on the ground.
The curious little loli looked toward the Spirit Pond in the center of the great hall, which was emitting streams of spirit light, and began to circle it: "This must be the 'Spirit Light God Pond' of the Infinity God Temple rumored to generate Spirit Light Children, who accompany us in our cultivation and assessment in Minor Pole Sky!"
Seeing the Little Provincial Princess's curious demeanor, Divine Venerable Hong Zhu in the void also smiled and shook her head. Without a visible action, she directly appeared beside everyone.
"All of you, rise," Divine Venerable Hong Zhu said to the two Divine Kings and the thirty-some young people from the Divine Kingdoms who were kneeling on the ground.
Seeing that both the Little Provincial Princess and Divine Venerable Hong Zhu were allowing them to rise, the two Divine Kings and the young people from the Divine Kingdoms dared to stand up.
At this moment, Divine Venerable Hong Zhu's gaze turned to Ye Chen and the other more than eight thousand warriors from the lower realm and she smiled and nodded lightly: "Are these the warriors from the lower realm this time? Heavenly Cloud Venerable has really done a great favor for warriors of the lower realm."
Although Divine Venerable Hong Zhu was of the Divine Venerable Realm, there wasn't a hint of arrogance about her, which made the warriors of the lower realm feel quite a favorable impression towards her.
And to think this person was of Divine Venerable standing.
This time, many warriors reacted and were taken aback in their hearts, sincerely bowing to her in greeting: "Greetings to Divine Venerable Hong Zhu!"
"Alright, alright," Divine Venerable Hong Zhu waved her hand, smiling as she spoke to the two Divine Kings, "I have brought the Little Provincial Princess here. The arrangements for cultivation are up to you. There's no need to make special exceptions, just follow the normal cultivation process. Although our Little Provincial Princess is young, she doesn't need any special care."
"Yes, yes!" Hearing Divine Venerable Hong Zhu's words, the two Divine Kings nodded repeatedly.
The Divine King responsible for the first cultivation site even inquired of Divine Venerable Hong Zhu: "Then Divine Venerable, shall we start the practice at this first site now?"
Divine Venerable Hong Zhu glanced over at the Little Provincial Princess, who had circled the Spirit Pond and was now leaning over the edge, examining it, then looked toward the direction outside the side hall, and said somewhat helplessly: "Let's wait a bit longer. There are a few youths following the Little Provincial Princess here. They should be arriving shortly."
More people coming?
The two Divine Kings were startled but dared not ask outright who the young ones following the Little Provincial Princess were.
But thinking about it, those who could come following the Little Provincial Princess were probably either children or descendants of some big figures.
At that moment, the Little Provincial Princess, who had been examining the Spirit Pond for some time, upon hearing Divine Venerable Hong Zhu's words, looked outside the great hall as if sensing something.
She muttered to herself: "Those annoying hangers-on, I sent them to Heavenly Profound Star to find 'Spirit Wind Grass' for me, yet they managed not to lose them and arrived so quickly! To follow me all the way from East Province to here, really, they're so annoying it could kill me!"
Her eyes flickered as if she was contemplating some mischief.
If Ye Chen had noticed the Little Provincial Princess's look and knew about her pranking the boys following her, he would surely have another word to describe the Little Provincial Princess: tricky!
Meanwhile, not long after Divine Venerable Hong Zhu had spoken, at the entrance to the side hall, four youthful figures flew straight in. Their clothing and accessories were even more precious than those of the thirty or so youths from the various Divine Kingdoms, clearly of significant status.
However, at that moment, all four of them were covered in dust, obviously having hurried here without even a moment to tidy themselves up.
This appearance caught the attention of everyone in the great hall.
When the two Divine Kings saw the four boys, they too were taken aback: "Aren't these the four young descendants of the four generals under the East Territory King!"
"They've actually come here too!"
As soon as the four youths entered the side hall and saw that the cultivation had not yet begun, they relaxed. Then seeing that the Little Provincial Princess was there, they beamed and rushed over to her, all four speaking at once: "Little Provincial Princess, the 'Spirit Wind Grass' you wanted, I've found it!"
