Chapter 28 - New Moon Profound Palace

When Jean reached the New Moon Profound Palace, he stopped on his steps and looked at his watch.

Jasmine: What are you waiting f-

?: B-B-B… Brother-in-law!!??

Jean turned to left and found Xia Yuanba. He raised his arm and greeted him.

Jean: Yo! Yuanba!

Xia Yuanba: Brother-in-law, it really is you!

Xia Yuanba quickly rushed over with a face brimming with surprise and joy, Jean just sidestepped, avoiding a traumatizing spine-breaking hug. And then asked a question even if he already knows the answer

Jean: So, why are you here?

Xia Yuanba: I should be the one asking Brother-in-law this question. Half a year ago, I heard you were driven out of your clan. I searched for you for many days but I still failed to find you.

Phew, it's really good that you're alright. I thought that something had happened to you, and couldn't sleep peacefully at all during these past six months.

Jean smiled and said with confidence.

Jean: Rest ȧssured, my life is awfully tough, how could anything happen to me? Being driven out of the Xiao Clan was actually a good thing; the outside world is much more wonderful than the Floating Cloud City that we spent ten or so years of our lives in.

These past six months I've been continuously walking west from Floating Cloud City, and it was only today that I arrived at New Moon City. For you to be here…. You are a student?

Xia Yuanba: Of course. Class One is taught by Profound Department's Great Elder himself. The requirements to enter the Class One is the highest; you must either have enough talent, or… Hehe, have sufficient connections.

Jean: So your family is friend with the New Moon Profound Palace, huh?

Xia Yuanba: Hehe. Let's not talk about these things. Brother-in-law, were you always by yourself? Did you find a place to stay in New Moon City yet? What are you going to do from now on?

Jean: It will depend on the future. Is the Great Elder you spoke about Sikong Han?

Xia Yuanba: Eh? That's right. That's exactly Elder Sikong. Brother-in-law, didn't you just arrive at New Moon City? How do you know about Elder Sikong?

Jean: He and my grandfather had a relationship; before I left Floating Cloud City, Grandfather told me to come and find him.

Xia Yuanba's eyes immediately brightened at those words and excitedly replied.

Xia Yuanba: That's great! Elder Sikong's prestige is very high in New Moon City, and he also treats others very nicely.

If he and Grandfather Xiao knows each other, perhaps he can arrange a place for you to stay… Mn, it would be even better if he could arrange a place inside New Moon Profound Palace.

Jean: Then guide me to him.

Xia Yuanba: Ok, but it's not definite that you'll be able to see him today. Because today just happens to be the new Palace Chief's appointment day, and there's still a congratulatory feast in the evening.

I heard that all of New Moon City's well-known sects and clans with influence will all be there; Elder Sikong should be busy preparing for it.

Jean: It doesn't matter, if we can't see him today, then we will try tomorrow, let's try anyways.

Xia Yuanba: Oh, okay.

Then Xia Yuanba brought Jean to the main entrance, but they were stopped from a young gatekeeper.

Gatekeeper: Non-disciples of the Palace are not allowed to enter.

Xia Yuanba wanted to say something, but Jean put an arm in front of him and with a smile, he took out the wooden tablet that his grandfather gave him.

Jean: I wonder if this wooden tablet could possibly let me enter and see Elder Sikong right now?

Gatekeeper: This is…. Elder Sikong's Seven Profound Tablet? Oh, should've taken that out earlier, please enter.

When he finished speaking, he withdrew his extended arm, took a step back, and signaled Yun Che and Xia Yuanba to come in.

When they were inside, Xia Yuanba said with an astonished face.

Xia Yuanba: Brother-in-law, how do you have Elder Sikong's Seven Profound Tablet? Only the seven people closest to the Elder have this, and with this tablet, you could be considered a person of the New Moon Profound Palace, and can freely enter the New Moon Profound Palace as well.

Jean: I don't know, you need to ask my grandfather about it.

Then, while Jean was being brought at the Elder's Hall, Xia Yuanba told him what happened in these 6 months to him. And at that moment, Jasmine's voice attracted his attention.

Jasmine: This person, is your friend?

Jean: Yes.

Jasmine: How old?

Jasmine: 15 and half years old… This person, actually possesses the Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins!

Jean: Hooh?

Jasmine: His Profound Veins are very special, his vein width is more than twice that of ordinary people, and even the structure is quite different. These Profound Veins are known as the Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins. Even in the Divine…

Well, in short, it is an extremely rare profound vein, if it were in the place where I was born, people who have this profound vein would inevitably dominate a region, and be appointed as an emperor.

But for it to have appeared in this kind of place, what a wasted vein! The reason why his veins are excessively large is also because of his Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins.

With these veins, while it's not obvious at the Elementary Profound Realm, once he steps into the Nascent Profound Realm and his profound power mȧturės, he would have to put in at least ten times the effort of ordinary people for every level after!

Also, throughout his entire lifetime, he can only progress up to Nascent Profound Realm, and will never breakthrough into True Profound Realm.

Jean: But?

Jasmine: If you want to use them at their fullest capabilities, you need to pull a sort of "Trigger", to give them the heart of a tyrant, once his veins are awaken, it will take a single night to break into the Emperor Profound Realm, or possibly the Tyrant Profound Realm.

Xia Yuanba: Brother-in-law, we're here.

Jean looked at the door in front of them and Xia Yuanba tried to knock at it, but before he could, the door opened by itself and a man around 40 years came out.

Xia Yuanba: Elder Sikong, you're actually here. That's wonderful.

Sikong Han: Oh? Yuanba, do you need anything from me?

Xia Yuanba: It's my brother-in-law, he has some business with you.

Then Xia Yuanba moved at the side, letting Sikong Han look at Jean, who walked up and politely spoke.

Jean: Elder Sikong, Junior Dennell Jean came from Floating Cloud City in the east. I wonder if Elder Sikong is still able to recall an old friend from Floating Cloud City named Xiao Lie?

Jasmine: '...Dennell Jean? That was his name? Where in the Primordial Chaos Dimension did he pick that name from?'

Then he quickly grabbed Jean's shoulders with both of his hands and asked.

Sikong Han: Where is he? Could it be that he has come to New Moon City?

Jean: No. Right now, grandfather is still in Floating Cloud City. I'm here to find you in accordance to grandfather's wish.

After finishing speaking, he took out the Seven Profound Tablet and showed it to Sikong Han, he picked it up and let out a soft sigh.

Sikong Han: It's already been seven years; these past years, I had always wanted to visit him in Floating Cloud City but I could never do so. I hope that this time, I could at least slightly pay back his past kindness.
