Heavenly Jewel Change Volume 7 (Chapter 208-Chapter 258)

However, Shangguan Bing’er had a different interpretation when she heard this. A twenty-three year old Heavenly King! This was a speed of cultivation which was unequalled in past, present, and future in the Boundless Mainland… and the man who did it was her man.

A deep sense of pride pervaded Shangguan Bing’er’s heart. The feeling was quite marvelous. She spread her wings, discarding her embarrassment and throwing herself into Zhou Weiqing’s arms.

Zhou Weiqing held Shangguan Bing’er in his arms. He was every bit as excited as Shangguan Bing’er, but he didn’t reveal it. It seemed as though his mentality had transformed and grown just as much as his cultivation had.

Shangguan Bing’er nestled herself into Zhou Weiqing’s arms. She felt that he smelled extremely good right now. She couldn’t explain what he smelled like, but she felt that it was refreshing and comfortable.

Zhou Weiqing said to Hui Yao and Duo Si, “Seniors, I wasted quite some time. Let’s continue on our journey.”

Hui Yao nodded. He exchanged a glance with his wife, then the two transformed into balls of fire that flew into the Spatial Teleportation Gem around Zhou Weiqing’s neck.

Once they actually entered the Spatial Teleportation Gem, they discovered to their astonishment that the gem, which had teetering at the brink of collapse, had actually been fully repaired. Now only was it now extremely sturdy, its Spatial power had increased countless times over.

Zhou Weiqing hadn’t repaired it. Clearly, when Zhou Weiqing had made his breakthrough, the Spatial Teleportation Gem had been repaired by the energies he had emitted. One could simply imagine how marvelous Zhou Weiqing’s Attributes were!

Zhou Weiqing himself had the deepest understanding as to what had happened. To put it simply, only Heavenly King-level Saint Energy was ‘real’ Saint Energy.

The Sea Emperor Shuttle once more descended from the skies into the sea, with Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing’er hopping into it. They closed the lid, then Zhou Weiqing hugged Shangguan Bing’er and said with a smile, “Bing’er, I think we’ll arrive home a bit earlier.”

Shangguan Bing’er said, “Little Fatty, do you know how much time you used up after Devouring that thing and then breaking through?”

Zhou Weiqing shook his head, puzzled.

Shangguan Bing’er said, “Nearly two months.”

“WHAT?! That long?” Zhou Weiqing had thought that it had been half a month at most. He didn’t imagine that two months would have gone by in the blink of an eye.

“Then let’s hurry up and go back. The two seniors are waiting for us to return so they can rescue their children.” When he thought of coming back, Zhou Weiqing felt as though he needed to go home immediately. He had temporarily discarded everything else to come here, but in truth he needed to do many, many things. His most important task was to rescue his parents and the others, then re-establish the Heavenly Bow Empire!

Zhou Weiqing didn’t use his hand to press the crystal into the indent. Instead, he just willed it and the Sea Emperor Shuttle instantly shot forward like a bolt of lightning, diving into the sea and disappearing.

This sudden acceleration badly startled Shangguan Bing’er, even though her body didn’t suffer from it. Zhou Weiqing’s body glowed with a layer of faint golden light which captured her as well, sending the Sea Emperor Shuttle hurtling through the seas like an arrow.





Chapter 258: Saint Core? Astral Core? (3)


The water flowing past them turned almost illusory. None of it seemed real. Save for the hazy blue skies, she couldn’t see a thing in the outside world at all. What level of speed was necessary for something like this? This was probably far faster than when she was travelling with her Wings of the Wind God.

In truth, she didn’t need to try and connect to the outside world. Zhou Weiqing doing it was enough. Zhou Weiqing suddenly reached out stealthily with his thoughts. He wasn’t using his own strength right now at all.

His will was infused into the Astral Saint Core Nucleus in front of his chest, and a strange pulling force emanated from his body. He seemed to have become a true star, causing the energies of the sea to instantly transform into his subordinates. It was the powerful atmospheric energies of the sea itself which was propelling them forwards. Otherwise, how could they be going this fast?

In addition, thanks to the influence of Zhou Weiqing’s Astral Saint Core Nucleus, all sea creatures within a thousand kilometers fled in terror. Thus, nothing would impede their path.

Without question, the Astral Saint Core Nucleus was what had guided Zhou Weiqing to become a Heavenly King. He himself wasn’t sure just how strong he was after having condensed this Astral Saint Core Nucleus, but what he was seeing had proven a few things.

First, after gaining the Astral Saint Core Nucleus, he was able to truly employ Heavenly Dao Energy to control atmospheric energies. However, he was different from other Heavenly Kings. Any Heavenly Jewel Master, be it Heavenly Kings, Heavenly Emperors, or even Heavenly Gods, had their own domains which they were best suited for. These domains were determined by their Attribute.

Simply put, a Heavenly Jewel Master who had the Fire Elemental Jewel would definitely be able to summon the most atmospheric energies if he was in a place like the mouth of a volcano. The sea would naturally be most advantageous to Water Attribute Heavenly Jewel Masters, which was why Terror Sea Dragons were so powerful in the ocean.

Zhou Weiqing was different. He didn’t have the Water Attribute, but when he unleashed the aura from his Astral Saint Core Nucleus, he had an even greater control over the ocean than a Heavenly King who DID have the Water Attribute.

This essentially meant that his Astral Saint Core Nucleus would allow him to summon atmospheric energies in any situation, allowing him to use it as though he had that affinity. In other words, he could use atmospheric energies as he pleased. He would always be on ‘friendly terrain’, no matter where he fought.

What was even more important, however, was that the amount of atmospheric energies Zhou Weiqing was able to summon was somewhere between ten times to a hundred times greater than what an ordinary Heavenly King could use. As for exactly how much, he wasn’t sure yet. Most terrifying of all was the fact that the atmospheric energies could actually be converted into Saint Energy in the outside world and used to cast techniques. He no longer had to first compress it and convert it within his body.

This was Saint Energy, true Saint Energy. After gaining the Astral Saint Core Nucleus, Zhou Weiqing’s power had risen to an unprecedented level. Forget about Heavenly Kings, even ordinary Heavenly Emperors wouldn’t necessarily be a match for him.

The Sea Emperor Shuttle’s speed was raised to its truest heights. In truth, they were moving so fast that Zhou Weiqing could clearly sense that if he accelerated any further, this divine seafaring artifact which had been created from a Terror Sea Dragon’s core might end up damaged. Thus, he kept the speed within a manageable zone instead of really giving it his all.

What rendered Shangguan Bing’er speechless was… while they were hurtling through the seas at such a terrifying speed, Zhou Weiqing still had the presence of mind to ‘bully’ her. And… his body was now even more freakishly strong than before! Each time, he wouldn’t stop ‘bullying’ her until she repeatedly begged for mercy… and judging from the look on his face, he clearly wasn’t all that satisfied.

For the first time, Shangguan Bing’er began to think that having a few extra sisters might not be a bad thing.

This journey of tens of thousands of kilometers was completed in just half a month. They could now see the outlines of the Boundless Mainland.
