Chapter 648: Four Pillar Figures of Donghua Palace

Chapter 648: Four Pillar Figures of Donghua Palace

Donghua Palace, Changqing Mansion.

Four True God Disciples with powerful auras sat around the pavilion on the mountaintop, laughing and chatting merrily.

Aside from the master of this place, Duan Changqing, the other three were also prominent figures in Donghua Palace.

Although the number of Disciples in Donghua Palace was not too large,

there were over ten thousand True God Disciples, plus another one hundred thousand Disciples below the True God Realm.

Within the entire Sect, the total number was only around one hundred thousand.

However, those able to enter Donghua Palace were naturally people of outstanding talent.

Not a single one of them was a simple character.

Among them, these four were the most outstanding.

They were known as the Four Pillar Figures of Donghua Palace.

Duan Changqing, Wan Fenghai, Fu Feixue, and Sun Zhendong.

All four were veteran True God mighty figures, and they had long since advanced to True God Realm Perfection.

If one day they could further comprehend the Great Dao Rules to the Major Achievement realm,

then they would have a glimmer of hope to break through the Bottleneck and ascend to become a Supreme God King.

Aside from the three God King Palace Masters,

these four were the most powerful pillar forces of the entire Donghua Palace.

Whenever major events occurred in the Donghua Domain,

their figures could always be seen.

Having not seen each other for many years, at Duan Changqing's invitation, the four had gathered at Changqing Mansion at this moment.

Everyone chatted and discussed the Dao.

The atmosphere was extremely lively.

Wan Fenghai raised his wine cup, looked around at everyone, and said loudly,

"Since the dispute over the mineral vein with the Tianyang Domain last time,"

"the four of us Senior and Junior Brothers haven't met for nearly ten million years. We must drink a few cups properly this time."

"We will drink until we are thoroughly drunk, and won't return until we are wasted."

"Right, we won't return until we're drunk."

"Haha, with our cultivation, if we wanted to get drunk,"

"even drinking all of Senior Brother Duan's Jade Divine Brew probably wouldn't be enough."

"Why bother caring about so much? Let's drink first and talk later."

Wan Fenghai raised his wine cup and drained it in one gulp.

Then he picked up the wine flagon on the table and immediately poured himself another full cup.

He truly wasn't polite at all.

This made Duan Changqing, who was sitting next to him, twitch his eyelids involuntarily.

His Jade Divine Brew was no ordinary spirit wine!

This kind of divine brew required various precious Spirit Medicines and immortal fruits.

A single cup cost at least several thousand divine crystals.

Over so many years,

Duan Changqing hadn't stored up very many jars in total.

These three Junior Brothers truly didn't treat themselves as outsiders at all,

recklessly consuming it here.

Despite this,

Duan Changqing was still very happy.

Raising cups to celebrate with people present, how many confidants can one have in life?

Drinking with bosom friends was naturally a happy thing worth celebrating.

If the Jade Divine Brew was drunk dry, he could just slowly store up more in the future.

After three rounds of drinks,

Wan Fenghai suddenly asked,

"Senior Brother Duan probably has already comprehended the Lie Tian Rule to the Major Achievement realm by now, right?"

"Senior Brother Duan's accumulated Sect contributions over these years should also be enough."

"Just waiting for the First Palace Master over there to find a divine spirit flower,"

"and perhaps there will be a glimmer of opportunity to break through the Bottleneck right then and ascend to become a Supreme God King."

Fu Feixue and Sun Zhendong, who were sitting nearby, also chimed in,

"That is only natural."

"Otherwise, how could Senior Brother Duan have killed that Extra-territorial Evil God, He Rufeng?"

Hearing the flattery from his three Junior Brothers, Duan Changqing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He had known these people would think this way.

Everyone thought he had beaten He Rufeng to death with his own strength alone.

Everyone had ignored the role Zhang Yuhe played at that time.

In fact, that was only natural.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes,

even Duan Changqing would have found it hard to believe.

A Cultivator at the first tier of the Void God Realm could actually erupt with such terrifying strength!

Back when he finally killed He Rufeng,

Zhang Yuhe's grinding disc Divine Ability even directly imprisoned He Rufeng in place,

rendering him completely unable to move.

You must know,

that was a Supreme God King!

A Cultivator at the first tier of the Void God Realm was actually able to rely on the power of a Divine Ability

to directly imprison a Supreme God King in place.

How Xuanhuan was this?

If this were spoken aloud, probably no one would believe it.

Yet this was indeed true.

Duan Changqing was very clear about this.

Under the circumstance where the opponent had ambushed them in advance and set up a powerful sealing Formation,

if Zhang Yuhe hadn't been there,

let alone beating He Rufeng to death back then,

it would have already been considered quite good if he could have escaped with his own life.

As for talking about slaying a Supreme God King against the odds?

That was simply a fool's daydream.

Thinking of this,

Duan Changqing couldn't help but shake his head, then said helplessly,

"You Junior Brothers think too highly of me."

"Although I also want to advance the Lie Tian Dao to the Major Achievement realm earlier,"

"yet throughout these long years, I have never had any clues."

"Rules are difficult to comprehend."

Hearing these words from Duan Changqing,

everyone couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

That was impossible!

Back then, upon hearing the news that Duan Changqing had slain a Supreme God King against the odds,

their first reaction was that

Duan Changqing had finally comprehended the Lie Tian Rule to the Major Achievement realm,

once again taking a step ahead of them.

Otherwise,

on what grounds could Duan Changqing have beaten He Rufeng to death?

Originally, using True God power to slay a Supreme God King against the odds was already a very astonishing miracle.

If Duan Changqing hadn't comprehended the Lie Tian Rule to the Major Achievement realm,

that would simply be a myth.

To be able to slay a Supreme God King against the odds when the Rule hadn't reached Major Achievement—

this was simply impossible!

Just by comparing Divine Power auras, how could he possibly outmatch He Rufeng, this Supreme God King?

Could there be some other hidden mystery within this?

Everyone looked at Duan Changqing doubtfully.

Wan Fenghai asked in puzzlement,

"Senior Brother Duan, you aren't joking, are you?"

"Could it be that He Rufeng was already heavily injured to begin with back then,"

"and happened to bump right into your hands?"

Wan Fenghai racked his brains but couldn't think of the key to it.

Unless He Rufeng was severely injured,

otherwise,

he really couldn't think of any other possibility.

Duan Changqing shook his head, then slowly said,

"He Rufeng was not injured."

"At that time, he actively led people to ambush in the Chaotic Star Sea; how could he possibly have injuries on him?"

"If it really were like that, he wouldn't have come out to take risks."

Speaking up to this point,

Duan Changqing pondered slightly for a moment, then continued,

"This matter is a long story; actually, it is related to Junior Brother Zhang."

"If Junior Brother Zhang hadn't been there, how could I possibly have had the opportunity to beat He Rufeng to death?"

"To have successfully escaped would already be considered quite good."

"Junior Brother Zhang? Which Junior Brother Zhang?"

Wan Fenghai felt extremely puzzled.

Although it was said that Donghua Palace didn't have many Disciples, they couldn't be considered few either.

There should be quite a few Junior Brothers surnamed Zhang.

But the problem was,

he really hadn't heard of any powerful Junior Brother Zhang.

Just at this moment,

Fu Feixue, who was sitting nearby, suddenly asked,

"Could it be that newly joined Junior Brother Zhang who holds Lu Jiuzhou's guide token?"

They naturally knew about Zhang Yuhe joining Donghua Palace.

It was just that ever since Zhang Yuhe entered the Sect, he had never shown his face.

He truly lacked any presence whatsoever.

It was hard for everyone to deliberately pay attention to this newly joined Junior Brother.

Hearing these words from Fu Feixue,

Wan Fenghai and Sun Zhendong only reacted at this moment.

Back then, Duan Changqing was ordered to go out and welcome someone.

The person he welcomed was precisely Zhang Yuhe.

Under normal circumstances,

when the great battle broke out,

Zhang Yuhe must have been together with Duan Changqing.

Could the Junior Brother Zhang that Duan Changqing mentioned

be that newly entered Zhang Yuhe?

Everyone looked at Duan Changqing in unison, hoping he could resolve the doubts in their hearts.

Duan Changqing nodded, then slowly said,

"That's right, it is Junior Brother Zhang Yuhe."

"Junior Brother Zhang has supreme talent, and his personal strength far surpasses ordinary Void God Cultivators."

"I'm afraid even average True God Cultivators wouldn't be able to get any advantage from him."

"Back then, it was Junior Brother Zhang who executed two super-powerful Divine Abilities to directly imprison He Rufeng in place."

"That gave me the opportunity to execute him on the spot."

"Come to think of it, the primary merit of that great battle should rightfully belong to Junior Brother Zhang."

Hearing Duan Changqing's narrative, everyone couldn't help but gasp deeply.

This couldn't be fake, right?

Just what sacred personage was this Junior Brother Zhang?

How could he be so terrifying?

What kind of Divine Ability could allow a Void God Cultivator to directly imprison and suppress a Supreme God King?

What the hell, is this a joke?

It's simply impossible!
