Chapter 116 - I already know

Chu Yueli paused a bit before she continued. "The reason why she wants to meet you is not to harm you, far from it. I can ȧssure you that. If you can spare some time, why not follow us to our Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace?"

"Well, there is nothing wrong with it. I will go there in a month, I need to do some things here before going." He was talking about small things he didn't solved yet, that he either forgot or he couldn't do them.

"I hope you keep to your word… Qingyue, let's go." Chu Yueli started to fly away. Xia Qingyue's gaze stopped on Jean for a while before she followed her master.

[1/12/1997]

[A: "Almighty"]

Even if it wasn't precisely 1 month, Jean arrived at the Frozen Cloud Asgard using the dark-themed throne of Nahemah, the Tyrant Ruler.

After solving certain matters regarding the Soul Devouring Life Binding Parasite, he made a visit for people around him and kept searching for some scarce informations on Fen Juechen, who still hasn't returned.

About Xia Yuanba, he already reached the tyrant Profound Realm, and it seems that his power was still slowly increasing. So he decided something that Jean previously wanted to do, before the 1 year torture. He also went in a journey around the world to gain experience outside and help people…

...That guy has really a gold heart.

In the end, he spent most of the month with Cang Yue, and a month almost passed in no time.

While he was in front of the Frozen Cloud Asgard, he asked. "Jasmine, now that I think about it…"

"Yes?"

"You have anything else to teach me? Maybe some techniques, the last time you taught something to me was around 3 years ago, with the Sky Wolf Slash."

"There isn't anything to do about it, your foundation is still too weak. You must be at least at late Sovereign Profound Realm, then I will create my body and give you a drop of the 'Heavenly Slaughter Blood', which will let you practice my arts."

Jean whistled, it seems that he still has a long way…

At this time, Chu Yueli came out from the main entrance. "So you've come, also some days before the promised time."

Hopping down from the dematerializing throne/hoverboard, Jean nodded. "Yeah, I already did everything I needed to do."

Chu Yueli didn't show any reaction and said. "Palace Mistress is already aware that you've arrived. Follow me."

Jean followed after her and entered inside the asgard. The Frozen Cloud Asgard wasn't a place that had many visit, especially since their position is in the coldest point of the Blue Wind Empire.

Therefore, as Jean followed Chu Yueli inside the Frozen Cloud Asgard, along with the additional effect of his name "Jean," it immediately cause a lot of Frozen Cloud Asgard's disciples to gather around and "watch" him with attention. 

Their gazes were filled with intense curiosity towards this young man who was the nominal husband of their Young Palace Mistress, and the source of many rumours that made him a "Sovereign Profound Cultivator hidden as a Throne".

Later, when Jean saw Gong Yuxian, the Palace Mistress, he greeted with some respect. "Jean Dennell greets the Mistress of Frozen Cloud Asgard."

She nodded at the respect shown and quickly got to the point. "Jean Dennell, as you may know, my Asgard's Grand Mistress wants to see you. Follow me… Qingyue, you should also come along with us."

The Asgard was full of secret grounds, where disciples would cultivate, since it's rare that a disciple of the Frozen Cloud Asgard would leave. Meanwhile, the Grand Mistress would take full advantage of this and cultivate all year round.

So Gong Yuxian took Jean and Xia Qingyue in one of these secret grounds, where the Grand Mistress cultivated, and raised her voice.

"Senior Master, Jean Dennell has arrived."

In the next moment, a slightly elderly voice replied back. "Come in."

As the voice fell, the ice room's gate that was tightly closed slowly opened.

In the center of the ice room, a woman whose expression was really calm, with hair already half white, sat upright on a blue colored ice jade. The ice jade slowly emitted an ice cold fog, shrouding her entire body within this hazy fog of ice. 

When Gong Yuxian's group of three walked in, her closed eyes opened, radiating a gentle yet far-reaching gaze. And this gaze, directly fell onto Jean's body.

This was the previous Mistress, and the current Grand Mistress, Feng Qianhui.

"Disciple Gong Yuxian, greets Senior Master."

"Disciple Xia Qingyue, greets Grand Asgard Mistress."

The elderly woman raised her hand, and spoke lightly. "No need for formalities, have a seat… So, you are Dennell Jean?"

Jean nodded, not even intimidated in the slightest from her power of a 6th Emperor Profound Practitioner. He stepped forward and said. "Jean Dennell greets Grand Asgard Mistress."

Feng Qianhui remained silent for some seconds before her Profound Qi slightly surged up,, but before she could make any move, Jean's voice rang out.

"You want to test the rumours about my power by attacking me with several tens of ice crystals. If I dodged them, you would guide them towards me, if I broke them, they would have turned into ice lotuses, if I got injured by them, you would have considered this meeting already ended and kicked me out."

Feng Qianhui had a shocked look on her eyes, before her eyebrows twitched.

"You want to turn this room's temperature to incredibly low levels so it would be harder for me to move, then attack me with weapons made of ice that contain the 100% of your power."

In the end, nothing happened, because Feng Qianhui already understood what he was saying…

He already knew every single move of hers.

"I already saw more than 15 millions of futures with a small fight between us, in all of them, you lost." As soon as he finished to talk, a malignant and powerful aura spread out from the unexpected 6 pupils that Jean possessed, 3 for each eye.

"You might ask if I can see the future, the answer is yes. I revealed this because I don't feel the necessity of hiding it."

The meaning was clear even for Xia Qingyue and Gong Yuxian: [No matter what you do, you won't be considered as a threat. So you better hold your thoughts before things will get bad.]

"See the future…" This was the only Schrift that Jasmine didn't knew about. The only thing she knew is that he could absorb things and create a black shadow-like thing to aid him.

Seeing every future wasn't something to scoff at, it goes against the Heaven's way, peeking through what it wanted to do. Besides, how many futures Jean can see?

She started to see why it is was called "Almighty", but she couldn't help but to feel that there is something much more incredible.

Feng Qianhui remained silent, before she smiled. "It seems that the rumors are true after all, your power is incredible. Looks like being called the "Most Promising Youth in Profound Sky Continent" isn't just an exaggeration."

Jean's pupils turned back to their normal form and smiled. "I thank Grand Asgard Mistress for the compliment."

"There's no need to be so respectful, between us, I am the one who must be respectful. Please, have a seat." Feng Qianhui pointed to a seat in front of her.

Jean nodded and sat down. "This old woman's trivial name is Feng Qianhui, you may call me Granny Qianhui. With your current strength and fame, you could entirely ignore the request of this old woman wanting to meet you. You also seem to know the reason of my call. Why would you come to this far away extreme northern land to meet this old woman?"

"Well, despite knowing my wife Xia Qingyue for less than a month since we married until now, she is still my wife, so I avoided to put her in a difficult position for not coming. 

Also, the reason of the meeting interested me a lot, but looking into the future and listening in the present are two different things. It is for your same reason for thinking about testing me, I wanted to hear everything with my own ears.

Then, there is a certain matter that I would like to ask you about..."

"I understand. Then let's proceed directly to the reason why I wanted to meet you." She took a deep breath and started to ask.

"I heard that 2 years ago at the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, one of the Four Great Sacred Grounds, Mighty Heavenly Sword Region's elder Ling Kun, had taken the initiative in inviting you to join Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. 

You did not give an answer at the time, but had still kept Ling Kun's sound transmission imprint… I want to know, in the future, will there be the possibility of you joining Mighty Heavenly Sword Region?"

"Absolutely not, me and the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region have some things to solve that might require… Blood." Jean said in a calm manner, if he didn't see this question coming, he would have exploded in killing intent.

"Also, you should know that there is no way for us to collaborate since I became the "Demon's servant" in the eyes of everyone else outside Blue Wind Empire." He was warned about the posters on him outside Blue Wind Empire. The emperor already took the job of removing them all from the empire, but in every other places, he might have a bad reputation.

"That's great! Then I will continue with the meeting, 1000 years ago, they weren't the Four Sacred Grounds, but Five Sacred Grounds.

1000 years ago, other than Absolute Monarch Sanctuary, Supreme Ocean Palace, Sun Moon Divine Hall, and Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, the Profound Sky Continent still had another Sacred Ground level force; 

its name was 'Eternal Night Royal Family'. The five great forces, are altogether called the Five Great Sacred Grounds."
