Chapter 1050: Jadeleaf King
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: StarveCleric
The Otherworldly Demon's height and aura paled in comparison to the Stoneleaf King, but there was a look of utmost coldness in his eyes . His skin was smooth like jade, and the intervals between his breaths were extremely long—a sign of his deep cultivation .
"Young Master, he's the Jadeleaf King!" the Violetleaf King anxiously sent a telepathic message to Zhang Xuan with a quivering tone . "He cultivates the Broken Jade Technique, and not only does he possess a powerful physical body, his Primordial Spirit wields frightening strength as well . His cultivation has also reached Half-Leaving Aperture realm…"
"Half-Leaving Aperture realm?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback . Turning his gaze back to the Otherworldly Demon who had just arrived, he noticed that there was an inconspicuous gleam at the other party's glabella . It seemed as if the other party was just a step off from freeing his Primordial Spirit from the constraints of his body .
Saint 5-dan Leaving Aperture realm; the term 'Leaving Aperture' referred to the Primordial Spirit fleeing from an aperture in the body and soaring freely in the heavens . In such a form, a cultivator would be more closely aligned with the world, allowing to draw forth more power from his surroundings to exert far greater fighting prowess .
The gap between Primordial Spirit realm and Leaving Aperture realm was a major demarcation line . Take the current Zhang Xuan for example, if he could catch a Primordial Spirit realm expert off guard, he would still stand a chance to slay the latter . However, if he were to encounter a Leaving Aperture realm expert, the only viable course of action he could take was to flee as far as he could .
Even a breakthrough to Saint realm wouldn't grant him the strength to face Leaving Aperture realm experts!
While Half-Leaving Aperture realm cultivators had yet to wield the devastating strength that true Saint 5-dan experts possessed, they still weren't existences that could be killed with simple physical attacks .
It was no wonder why the Violetleaf King was so fearful of the Jadeleaf King . Even in comparison to the Stoneleaf King, the strength that the Jadeleaf King wielded was frightening .
"I miscalculated . I should have relayed information regarding the Qingtian Ten Great Kings to the Qingyuan Conferred Empire Master Teacher Pavilion and have them dispatch more powerful master teachers over…" Zhang Xuan sighed deeply .
Given that he had killed quite a few Otherworldly Demon Kings himself, and considering the fact that the seal had been closely guarded by the Master Teacher Pavilion, Zhang Xuan thought that it should have been impossible for Otherworldly Demons to enter the ancient domain . Thus, he didn't think much of the matter .
The most powerful experts they had at the moment was Wu shi, Guild Leader Han, Mu shi, and Feng Xun . However, even they were a far distance away from matching up to a Half-Leaving Aperture realm expert .
It could be said that the overall prowess of their expedition team was on a different level from that of the Ten Great Kings . . .
If only he knew that there were such powerful enemies lurking in the ancient domain, he would have definitely requested for the Qingyuan Conferred Empire Master Teacher Pavilion to dispatch more powerful master teachers over .
While it was only a branch, they should have quite a few Saint 4-dan pinnacle master teachers .
"Forget it, it's too late for regrets now . I should focus on what's before me now…" A moment after the thought surfaced in his mind, Zhang Xuan tossed it aside decisively, not allowing it to bother him .
There was no point thinking about what he could have done better back then . In any case, he did manage to kill six out of the ten of them . If he were to work a little harder than before, the remaining four should still be doable!
"There's an urgent matter which I require your help on . " the Stoneleaf King stepped forward and said .
"Hm?" the Jadeleaf King looked at the Stoneleaf King questioningly .
"It's like that . According to the sources we have received, that human lying over there is said to be a very noble existence amongst mankind . Thus, we hope that you can help us verify his true identity!" the Stoneleaf King pointed to Feng Xun and said .
The Stoneleaf King decided not to speak about the matter concerning the Celestial Master Teacher first . At the current point in time, it was best not to reveal too much first .
"Verify his true identity?" the Jadeleaf King asked as he turned his gaze upon Feng Xun . "Judging from his clothes, he should be a combat master . Does he possess some other identity? Also . . . Violetleaf King, why are you here?"
After saying those words, the Jadeleaf King turned a piercing gaze towards Zhang Xuan .
"It's like that…" Zhang Xuan repeated the same lie that he had told the Stoneleaf King . However, he also chose neglected to mention the words 'Celestial Master Teacher' as well .
"You are saying that in order to track down that noble existence amongst mankind, you chose to blend in together with them so as to lure the other party here?" the Jadeleaf King asked with a frown . A moment later, he nodded slightly and said, "Very well then . Let me see just what kind of existence this human is for you to go so far for him . If he is really as noble as you put him out to be, I will help you report this matter to His Majesty on your behalf and beseech him to reward you generously!"
After saying those words, the Jadeleaf King whipped out an altar . It was different from the one which Zhang Xuan had procured from the Violetleaf King . Bronze and large, it was filled with many bizarre inscriptions that could send one's head spinning with just a look .
"That is the Immaculate Jade Altar that only the Jadeleaf King possesses . Of the Ten Great Kings, the Qingtian Emperor only bestowed it upon him . . . Through this altar, one can summon the Spirit God to ascertain a person's true identity and verify the authenticity of their words!" the Violetleaf King informed Zhang Xuan telepathically .
"The Qingtian Emperor bestowed it only to the Jadeleaf King?" the Jadeleaf King was neither the strongest or the weakest of the Ten Great Kings . Why would the Qingtian Emperor make such an exception for the other party?
"The Jadeleaf King lords over the Hall of Crime, and he is in charge of interrogating and punishing all criminals of the Qingtian Lineage…" the Violeleaf King explained .
Hearing those words, Zhang Xuan nodded in realization .
As one who was in charge of interrogation and punishment, it was important for the Jadeleaf King to possess such an ability . Otherwise, it could cause great disorder in their judicial system .
Taking a closer look at the altar, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little confused . Somehow, he just couldn't make the association between the ability to discern a person's identity together with an altar .
His confusion didn't remain for too long .
In the next moment, the Jadeleaf King whipped out a couple of tributes and placed it on the altar . The altar released a dim glow which consumed the tributes with a blazing flame . Following which, a sacred white glow suddenly fell upon him and Feng Xun .
Seeing how the Violetleaf King was covered amidst the glow as well, the Jadeleaf King frowned .
The Stoneleaf King's complexion wasn't too good either, and he bellowed, "Violetleaf King, we are in the midst of verifying the identity of that human . You should step aside for the moment . "
"Don't worry, my presence here won't affect the results . I caught this fellow with my own hands, so I want to see for myself just who he is…" Zhang Xuan replied .
He wasn't too sure how the other party's verification technique worked, but if one thing was for sure, Feng Xun definitely wasn't a Celestial Master Teacher . If he were to step away from the glow, there was no doubt that the white glow wouldn't be able to pick up anything at all .
Standing within the white glow could potentially reveal his identity, but Zhang Xuan was confident in his ability to maintain his disguise while revealing the presence of the Celestial Master Teacher amongst them .
