Chapter 643: Another Son Is Born
Chu Hao settled the people around him and decided to search for Great Emperor Yishi.
Now, he had cultivated all the Laws to the level of Sub-Level Great Perfection. His combat power had increased manifold from when he first fought Great Emperor Yishi. He was fearless and brimming with confidence, ready to battle Great Emperor Yishi and even achieve ascension to become a Great Emperor himself in the midst of the fight, thus unlocking the gates to the Heavenly Emperor.
The problem was, how could he find Great Emperor Yishi?
The universe was vast, almost without end. To find Great Emperor Yishi in this boundless expanse of stars was as difficult as reaching the heavens.
After some thought, Chu Hao decided to first seek out the Purple Embryo Realm Master.
Whether it was Moonless and the other Three Great Realm Masters, or Great Emperor Yishi himself, they all found him because of the messages spread by the Purple Embryo Realm Master. Therefore, to find Great Emperor Yishi, it seemed simplest to first find the Purple Embryo Realm Master and then get the answer from him.
After all, from the spreading of messages by the Purple Embryo Realm Master to the arrival of Great Emperor Yishi, it took a total of nine hundred years. Nine hundred years— even if it took Purple Embryo Realm Master seven hundred years to spread the message and Great Emperor Yishi two hundred years to make the journey, considering the speed a Great Emperor can travel, how many domains could he have crossed in two hundred years?
Chu Hao didn't want to search for a needle in a haystack; finding the Purple Embryo Realm Master should be relatively simple. Then it would be easy to track down Great Emperor Yishi from there; otherwise, he might spend tens of thousands or even millions of years.
After repairing the teleportation array on Sky Martial Star, he returned to the Great Sorrow Realm, and then found some antiques to inquire about the location of the Purple Embryo Realm. Knowing the approximate direction was enough for him.
It took nearly a month, and then Chu Hao started on his way to the Purple Embryo Realm.
Now, he was even faster.
Merely six months later, he arrived at the Purple Embryo Realm, on Tianma Star, the main star of the Purple Embryo Realm Master. It was a first-class star, a spiritual power star capable of nurturing a Realm Master.
However, the Purple Embryo Realm Master seemed to be in seclusion, as his presence was undetectable everywhere.
Chu Hao walked on this planet, subtly releasing some of his aura as a challenge to the Purple Embryo Realm Master. But he controlled the intensity of his aura, suppressing it to the level of a Low Tier Realm Master so as not to paralyze the Purple Embryo Realm Master with fear and make him too frightened to meet him.
Entering a restaurant, he ordered good wine and food and began to eat, passing the time.
Even if the Purple Embryo Realm Master was in deep seclusion, he should react within a few days.
"Look, look, Miss Wang of the Wang Family has arrived." The diners suddenly stopped their actions and turned their gaze toward the entrance of the restaurant.
A woman with a graceful presence entered the restaurant, followed by a maid who was pretty in a delicate and delightful way; however, compared to the woman in front, she paled in comparison.
This was truly a stunning beauty, almost on par with Su Wanyue and Luo Qingyan, with her every step like a blooming lotus and her swaying figure intoxicating to any onlooker. She found an empty seat and sat down gracefully and captivatingly.
The maid stood behind her, hands on her waist, showing great breeding.
"Wang Ruyun, the most outstanding talent of this generation in the Wang Family. She's only nineteen yet already has the cultivation of a War Emperor, bound to achieve greatness in the future!"
"I heard that next year Wang Ruyun is going to join the Daixian Sect."
"The Daixian Sect? One of the Four Great Sects?"
"Which other Daixian Sect? A superpower with a Star King at its helm. It's just a pity that they only accept female disciples; otherwise, even I would wish to join."
"Pfft, even if you were a woman do you have the qualifications with your talents?"
The people whispered among themselves, but of course, with Chu Hao's hearing, he caught every word clearly and nodded inwardly. A nineteen-year-old War Emperor was astonishing, and it seemed she was progressing even faster than he had.
Chu Hao was a bit lost in thought. Although only a little more than ten thousand years had passed in the universe, to him, it was already a million years ago, so distant that it almost couldn't be recalled.
Of course, during those times, Sky Martial Star was in a period of martial arts warming, and the overall strength was not impressive; it wouldn't be fair to make a direct comparison.
Although Wang Ruyun was as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, not many dared to keep staring at her. After all, she was a War Emperor, unattainable for most, merely to be looked up to.
Chu Hao, naturally, would not be distracted by such thoughts. He simply drank and ate, waiting for a reaction from the Purple Embryo Realm Master.
Dong dong dong, more people came upstairs. First was a young man, handsome enough but with a lecherous grin on his face, as though he wished he could write 'I'm a scoundrel' across his forehead.
Such people usually have powerful backgrounds, and indeed, behind the young man came a tall, elderly figure. He seemed very ordinary, but Chu Hao did not even need to glance at him. A mere sensing revealed the truth—the elder was a fifth-tier Domain Lord.
The young man scanned the room and, upon seeing Wang Ruyun, his eyes lit up, and he walked over to her table. Without an invitation, he sat down opposite her and said, "I heard Miss Wang was as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, and it's indeed true. My trip here was not in vain."
Wang Ruyun showed a look of disgust and did not utter a word, only gesturing with her hand, indicating that he should leave.
The young man was not upset and said, "My name is Linggu Xuan. I heard about Miss Wang's famed beauty two months ago and made a special trip to see it for myself, and indeed, it does not disappoint."
Wang Ruyun grew even more displeased, her fingers waving even faster.
"Hey hey, Miss Wang, can't you speak?" Linggu Xuan laughed out loud, "No matter, I have an abundance of Miraculous Pills and Elixirs, even if you were born mute I could make you talk."
"My lady told you to scram!" the servant girl scolded, never having seen someone so shamelessly thick-skinned.
Linggu Xuan didn't care and just kept staring at Wang Ruyun, the more he looked, the itchier his heart felt, unable to resist, he reached out to touch Wang Ruyun's pretty face, completely devoid of any fear.
Wang Ruyun finally grew angry. She had seen lecherous men before, but none were as brazen as this. She immediately struck out with her palm, sending a blast of energy towards Linggu Xuan's wrist, intending to sever his hand.
But the energy burst had just erupted when it vanished without a trace. Wang Ruyun was shocked and quickly leaned back, evading Linggu Xuan's evil grasp.
She looked at the elder standing behind Linggu Xuan in surprise. It was he who had merely lifted his hand slightly and had negated her attack so effortlessly.
So strong!
An expert could be recognized the moment they take action. The opponent had casually resolved her attack, clearly much more powerful than her.
She composed herself and said, "I am a disciple of the Daixian Sect, and my master is Fairy Baidai!"
Since her own strength was no match, she had no choice but to use her sect to intimidate them. The Wang Family, though somewhat renowned, had only a War God as its strongest member, certainly not as influential as the Daixian Sect.
Linggu Xuan burst into loud laughter, stroked his chin, and pondered, "Fairy Baidai? Seems somewhat familiar... Hmm, she met my father a few years ago. She's really pretty; if she weren't so old, I'd really like to take her to bed for some fun."
Wang Ruyun's pretty face turned a shade. What kind of background did this person have that not even a Star King was regarded in his eyes! No, no, this wasn't about disregarding anymore; this was outright humiliation.
Either this person was insanely arrogant, or his background was frighteningly vast, and if it was the latter, then she was in danger.
"Are you the son of Purple Embryo?" Chu Hao suddenly interjected, truly surprised that the Purple Embryo Realm Master had really had another son? Quite capable indeed, to have one in ten thousand years.
But this son was still unworthy, his martial arts talent couldn't compare to Linggu Ren, yet his arrogance seemed to surpass him.
"What thing are you to dare call my father by his honored title?" Linggu Xuan was outraged, jumping up and pointing his finger at Chu Hao's nose.
Chu Hao smiled faintly and said, "I advise you to retract your hand, or Purple Embryo will be another son short."
"I—" Linggu Xuan wanted to say more but was blocked by the elder behind him, which greatly displeased him.
"What may I call you, sir?" asked the elder solemnly.
"Me?" Chu Hao thought for a moment and replied, "I should probably be the person Purple Embryo wants to kill the most, because over ten thousand years ago, I slaughtered a fellow named Linggu Ren—your brother, I presume?"
The last sentence was addressed to Linggu Xuan.
"Are you that cunning human?" Linggu Xuan exclaimed, "You used the Heavenly Tribulation to force my father back; otherwise, even ten thousand of you combined wouldn't match my father!"
He'd occasionally heard the Purple Embryo Realm Master speak of Chu Hao and because of Chu Hao, his father had sternly warned him not to leave the Purple Embryo Realm. Thankfully, he was only fifty-seven years old, hadn't yet traveled all over Tianma Star and wasn't in a hurry to leave the realm for fun.
The Realm Master also reacted, asking, "You are Chu Hao, the Domain Lord?"
This guy is a Domain Lord?
Everyone was shocked. How young he looked! Although the higher the cultivation, the slower the aging, even so, Chu Hao's apparent age must be extremely young; otherwise, how could he maintain such an appearance?
Chu Hao smiled faintly and said, "I've come to see Purple Embryo. Go inform him."
"Hmph, leave Purple Embryo Star immediately, or you'll surely die!" barked Linggu Xuan with confidence. He certainly didn't fear Chu Hao, who was just a Domain Lord, and moreover, the Purple Embryo Realm Master had said several times that he could kill Chu Hao with one move—were it not for the fact that Chu Hao could summon Heavenly Tribulation, preventing him from making his move.
"Young master!" The Realm Master advised further, noticing that Chu Hao's aura was unfathomable. Perhaps after ten thousand years, he had grown incredibly powerful. Since Chu Hao had come here, it was better to let the Purple Embryo Realm Master deal with him personally.
The Purple Embryo Realm Master would likely prefer to kill Chu Hao with his own hands.
Linggu Xuan thought it over and decided it was best not to conflict with Chu Hao, after all, this was someone capable of bringing about Heavenly Tribulation.
"Hmph, I'll let you go for now!" His gaze fell upon Wang Ruyun as he said, "Beautiful lady, come with me," his mood sour, in need of a beauty to help him relax.
Wang Ruyun's pretty face soured, knowing well that not she, the Wang Family, nor the Daixian Sect could stop Linggu Xuan—only the man before her could.
"Elder, save me!" She sought Chu Hao's help.
