Chapter 61 Farewell to the Jade Emperor

"Waaaaaahhhhhhh?" (Why are you covering my mouth?)

Yan Xiaoqi struggled wildly, waving his arms and legs.

"Alright, you little rascal, that man is accompanied by Qingxu, he's no ordinary person."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the masked cultivator. Although they could all tell that the masked man was strong, they did not expect him to be this strong.

And who is that yellow-robed man who has Qingxu by his side?

It should be noted that although Qingxu is no longer comparable to Yuxu, the leader of an ordinary sect is no more than this. He could be a deputy commander in the Divine Court Guard.

The fact that such a person was following behind the man in the yellow robe as a guard can only mean that the other party was of extraordinary status.

The Jade Emperor spent money like water, and his nonchalant attitude towards money naturally attracted many people's attention. Looking at the figures following the Jade Emperor away, Fang Xiu could only wish them good luck. These people were blinded by money and dared to chase after anyone.

Although it was an incognito visit, and in order to avoid being known by others, the Jade Emperor brought Qingxu instead of Chongxu. However, Qingxu, who could serve as the Jade Emperor's guard, was no ordinary Qingxu. He was a late-stage Qingxu cultivator in Buddhism, and his great summoning technique was unmatched among the Qingxu.

If his soul hadn't entered Shifang, and if he hadn't faced off against the necromancer's Nightmare Ancestor to protect the Jade Emperor, how could a dignified Qingxu cultivator have died so hastily?

"Let's go."

The Jade Emperor had bought everyone, so the auction naturally ended. Fang Xiu and his group followed suit. Fortunately, their destination wasn't far from here; they only had to cross two streets to get there.

A wooden sign for a fortune-telling shop hangs above the four-sided gate. On the right is written the four large characters "Telling the Secrets of Heaven," and on the left is another one, but it has been eroded by time and sand and is no longer legible.

Pushing open the door, they found that some people had arrived before them; it was the Jade Emperor and his guards.

"This is a matter of great importance. Do you really not know what has happened in the desolate wilderness?"

Sitting at the table, the Jade Emperor asked the diviner a question.

"I only know how to tell fortunes; I know nothing else."

The Taoist priest wearing sunglasses shook his head, insisting that he knew nothing and didn't want to say anything more.

Seeing that the Taoist priest was unwilling to say more, the Jade Emperor did not press him, but changed his words.

"Since that's the case, then please do me a divination to see if my future is auspicious or inauspicious..."

As they were talking, Fang Xiu and his large group of people rushed into the house, filling the small room.

"Huh? It's you! The uncle from earlier!" Yan Xiaoqi recognized the Jade Emperor at a glance, but what about the slaves the other party had bought?

"It's you guys, kids. You've been following me?" Just as Yan Xiaoqi had a deep impression of the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor naturally remembered Fang Xiu and his group as well. After all, how could he not remember a group of children who looked out of place in the desert environment and still possessed cultivation?

"Who would be following you?" Yan Xiaoqi looked around but couldn't see anyone else.

"What happened to those girls you bought earlier? What did you do to them?"

"Oh, you mean them?" The Jade Emperor, his mischievous side emerging, patted his stomach and said with a laugh, "They're all here. They taste pretty good."

"Beast!"

Yan Xiaoqi was furious and yelled as he was about to pounce on the Jade Emperor for a real 1v1 quick fight.

Cui Shao quickly grabbed Yan Xiaoqi, "I'm sorry, Xiaoqi didn't mean any harm."

The Jade Emperor shook his head. He wouldn't bother arguing with a child, but after being interrupted by Yan Xiaoqi, he lost interest in listening to the fortune teller and got up to leave.

The Jade Emperor stood up, and Fang Xiu sat down accordingly, immediately beginning to speak of the desolate wilderness beyond the desert.

"Could you please tell me if our trip to this desolate wilderness will bring us the fulfillment of our wishes?"

As expected, upon hearing that Fang Xiu was also going to the desolate wilderness, the Jade Emperor suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Fang Xiu was certain that this unassuming, seemingly ordinary fortune teller was no ordinary person. To be sought out by the Jade Emperor and even manage to deduce some of Xiao Hu's situation despite the Nightmare Ancestor's obstruction, he was most likely some highly skilled individual who lived a life of leisure.

Upon hearing Fang Xiu's question, the fortune teller immediately began to calculate with his fingers. At first, the other party remained calm, but as he continued to calculate, he realized that he could not see anything, and his eyes behind his sunglasses suddenly widened.

Calculating with my fingers once, twice, three times...

After several attempts, the fortune teller found nothing but chaos and could not deduce anything. Finally, he gave up. In this situation, either the other party was a powerful being with far greater strength than him, or the other party's fate was obscured by a powerful being.

The fortune teller immediately saw Fang Xiu's situation: he was at the tenth level of the Jade Void Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the Pure Void Realm. Logically speaking, with such cultivation at his age, why would he risk going out to take risks? He could have broken through by simply working hard and grinding away at his skills.

"Your journey is fraught with danger and uncertainty; whether you achieve your goals depends entirely on your own choices..."

Just because a fortune teller can't calculate it doesn't mean they can't make things up; they can just say things in a vague or ambiguous way.

After finishing their questioning and paying the divination fee, Fang Xiu and his companions went outside and saw the Jade Emperor and his companion waiting at the door.

"Hey! You despicable and filthy %＃%……"

Upon seeing the Jade Emperor, Yan Xiaoqi assumed that the other party was blocking their way because of what had just happened, so he rolled up his sleeves and started talking.

"How dare you! You dare to speak to His Majesty..."

"Forget it, why are you arguing with a child?"

Just as the masked guard was about to make a move, the Jade Emperor raised his hand to stop him. When the masked guard stepped forward, Yan Xiaoqi had already shrunk behind Fang Xiu, protecting him in front of him.

After coming out, the Jade Emperor, who knew that Fang Xiu was also going to the desolate desert, learned about the strength of Fang Xiu and his companions from his guards.

The masked guard possesses a spell called the Eye of Garan, which can be used for both offense and support. Once mastered, even without using it, their eyesight far surpasses that of cultivators of the same level.

With a quick scan, the masked guards were able to assess the strength of the group based on their auras.

The group of eleven children, judging from their auras, were mostly around the fifth level of the Jade Void Realm. Some of them even had a stronger aura than the others, though not quite at the sixth level.

There are only two exceptions. One is the one from the Yama family. As a guard of the Jade Emperor, the masked guards still recognize Yan Xiaoqi. Not only Yan Xiaoqi, but also several other sons of the gods, such as Yang Zichen, who can be identified at a glance as Erlang Shen's son.

Compared to others, Yan Xiaoqi's aura was much weaker, looking like someone who had just started cultivating, merely at the first level of the Jade Void Realm.

The other is Fang Xiu. If Yan Xiaoqi is too weak, then Fang Xiu is too strong. As a cultivator who has also gone through the Jade Void stage, the masked guard knows very well that the children who are traveling with Fang Xiu are already among the best in their age group.

In this world, there are people who have cultivated for more than ten years and are still stuck in the middle stage of Jade Void Realm. These children have cultivated to the fifth level of Jade Void Realm at such a young age. It is no exaggeration to call them geniuses.

In the eyes of the masked guards, Fang Xiu was like a giant fireball, dazzlingly bright and possessing a perfect aura. He was a cultivator at the tenth level of the Jade Void Realm, only one step away from the Pure Void Realm.

Moreover, in the eyes of the masked guards, Fang Xiu's aura was so stable that he was definitely not the kind of guy who could reach the tenth level by taking drugs.

"you……"

Just as the Jade Emperor was about to say something after stopping the guards, a voice called out from behind him.

"Owner!"
