Chapter 114 Saint Remains Domain (2/2)
Zhou Yuan raised his head and watched the streaks of light vanish into the distance. It was a long while later before he finally withdrew his gaze in a somewhat crestfallen manner. He looked towards the small clean courtyard as he recalled the first time he had sent Su Youwei home…
Back then, she had only been a dirty little girl, but now, her radiance had been revealed and no one knew just how far she would go in the future.
It was perhaps truly as the gray robed old man had said, the future Su Youwei would reach such a dazzling level that even he would not be able to come close.
“I wonder if things will be the same between us the next time we meet…” Zhou Yuan sighed softly.
Su Youwei had her own path to walk, while he likewise had to fight for his own destiny.
“I should work hard or it will be quite shameful if I end up unable to compare to her when we next meet.” Zhou Yuan chuckled as a radiance shined in his eyes.
He lowered his head and gazed at the map in his hands.
“It seems that the Saint Remains Domain… will be very exciting…”
“Wu Huang… is it finally time for us to meet…”
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly before walking out of the small courtyard, slowly closing the doors behind him. The people here had already left, who knew when these doors would open once again.
Su Youwei, I hope that your future will be amazing.
...
“What? You’re leaving the Great Zhou Empire?” In the royal palace, Zhou Qing and Qin Yu cried out in surprise when they heard Zhou Yuan’s plans.
Zhou Yuan nodded as he placed the map in front of them and pointed at the Saint Remains Domain. “Father, mother, all the geniuses from our continent will be vying for the greatest gift of the Saint Remains Domain, including the Great Wu Empire’s Wu Huang. If I miss out on this chance, I will probably regret it for the rest of my life.”
“The Saint Remains Domain huh…”
Zhou Qing sighed as he gazed at the map, evidently having heard of this place before. However, the Great Zhou Empire’s status was nothing like it had been in the past, and they were naturally no longer able to covet the Saint Remains Domain.
He never expected that Zhou Yuan would still come to know of it from somewhere else.
“Yuan’er, that Saint Remains Domain is extremely far away and your competitors will be the geniuses from all kinds of places.” Qin Yu seemed to be in pain. How could she not know just how many hardships one needed to face in the struggle for the greatest blessing.
Such struggled would likely be life or death battles.
“Does mother not believe in me?” Zhou Yuan smiled.
“Rebellious brat.” Qin Yu smiled bitterly. Her son was naturally unrivalled in her heart, but the thought of Zhou Yuan leaving them and bearing all that pressure alone still cut deeply into her heart.
Zhou Qing was silent. Moments later, he said, “Your choice is correct.”
He knew how significant this blessing was. If Zhou Yuan managed to obtain it, it would become an incomparably important aid to his future cultivation.
“But it will be very difficult to vie with the other geniuses.” Zhou Qing clearly understood that the young individuals who received the full support of their respective factions would be top tier amongst the younger generation.
Zhou Yuan was already a step behind due to the late discovery of his meridian channels. Hence, competing with others would naturally be an uphill challenge.
Zhou Yuan nodded as he grinned and said, “If it was easy, it would not be a worthwhile contest.”
He had long prepared himself for these handicaps. Although those geniuses were definitely extraordinary, they were in for a very bad time if they were to underestimate him.
Zhou Yuan said, “Father, you need to quickly and covetly send men to take charge of the Battle Puppet Sect ruins and obtain control of the battle puppet army within. The Great Zhou Empire needs to rapidly strengthen itself and this army will definitely be a huge help against the Great Wu Empire.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged for experts proficient in Genesis Runes to learn how to open the Genesis Rune Boundary from Yaoyao.”
“When are you preparing to leave?”
Zhou Yuan lifted his head and peered into the distance where clouds were beginning to gather.
“In three days.”
