Chapter 1502: Chapter 1501: The Zhao Family’s Night of Revelry

Peak-stage Primordial Human Immortal expert?

Zhao Tianzhao, being older, thought his ears might be failing him, thinking he misheard.

His eyebrows slightly furrowed, he asked:

"Mengxue, what did you just say?"

Zhao Mengxue no longer seemed like before, feeling her dignity and status insulted when asked to repeat herself.

Her brow furrowed, and she spoke with a somewhat serious tone:

"This Emperor is a peak-stage Primordial Human Immortal expert; do not think you can shout at me just because you’re my elder!"

"..."

Zhao Tianzhao and Zhao Ziyun were momentarily stunned.

At that instant, Zhao Mengxue felt like she was possessed, transformed into a different person.

As elders, understanding their juniors, they knew well that Zhao Mengxue was never such a person.

"Mengxue!"

Zhao Ziyun admonished, "How can you speak to your grandfather like this? Though Wanxian University terminated your studies, our family can afford to hire even more powerful cultivators privately to tutor you. A thousand years later, your future will be infinite; there is no need to give up like this."

Father Zhao Ziyun believed that his daughter had been hit hard, causing her to act erratically and incoherently.

Yet, showing disrespect, irrespective of the situation, is unallowable.

However...

Zhao Mengxue’s voice turned colder:

"This Emperor acknowledges you as grandfather and father to give you face..."

"How dare you!"

Hoo!

A faint energy suddenly surged like a gale toward them.

The gang qi surrounding Zhao Tianzhao instinctively formed to resist the wave.

But the energy seemed counteracted, and with a bang... Zhao Tianzhao retreated repeatedly.

Zhao Ziyun, with lower strength and cultivation, was even less a match and was instantly knocked back, flying four or five meters through the air!

He landed with a backward roll, retreating another three meters upon touching the ground.

Pff.

A mouthful of fresh blood was spat out.

Like plum blossoms decorating the ground, bloody traces dotted the floor.

The hall fell into silence.

Utterly tranquil and quiet.

Zhao Tianzhao looked at his granddaughter in shock, standing with hands clasped, calm and composed.

Zhao Tianzhao’s strength was also at the initial stage of the Primordial Human Immortal realm.

To defeat him meant that Zhao Mengxue’s cultivation was also among the Primordial Human Immortals.

"How... is this possible?"

Zhao Ziyun was even more bewildered.

He knew his daughter’s capabilities very well.

Without even lifting a hand, she made him vomit blood.

No primordial qi fluctuations, no warning signs, yet they were both pushed back like this.

The peak-stage Primordial Human Immortal, it was true.

"Mengxue... did you really break through to the peak of the Primordial Human Immortal stage? How... how is this possible?"

The two no longer cared about Zhao Mengxue’s impudence, instantly replaced by joy from such a transformation.

Beaming with delight.

"So wonderful!"

"Truly, heaven blesses my Zhao Family!"

"Mengxue, how did you achieve this breakthrough?"

To leap from the previous Heavenly Human Immortal stage directly to peak-stage Primordial Human Immortal, it was nearly impossible, almost a fairy tale.

Even now, it felt particularly surreal, like dreaming.

Zhao Mengxue knew they would ask and had prepared her response—

"I encountered a high master, whose cultivation was terrifying. Coincidentally, he mastered how to treat Qi Sea Wall issues. The high master’s time was nearing its end, and unwilling to let his lifetime cultivation sink into the earth, he transferred it to me."

Upon hearing this.

The two found it unbelievable.

The words sounded simple, but they understood how difficult it was to transfer cultivation.

Zhao Mengxue continued:

"I didn’t return for the entire night... the high master took me to a strange space where no one was around. I spent a millennium there! The high master also found top-grade Blood-Melting Grass, then transferred all his cultivation to me."

"The dangers involved... don’t even mention it."

Upon hearing these words.

Zhao Tianzhao was filled with turbulent waves of astonishment, nodding frequently, no wonder Mengxue’s character had become so cold and indifferent.

As it turned out, she spent a millennium in a time-altered space.

A thousand years, without proper methods to maintain one’s nature, it’s easy to lose oneself.

No wonder she treated her elders with such disrespect.

Zhao Tianzhao whispered a few words to Zhao Ziyun.

Telling him about the mentality problems from the millennium time, Zhao Ziyun came to a sudden realization, sighing endlessly.

"So Mengxue entered a millennium space, alas... if I had known this opportunity, I would have given you top-quality Heart-Protecting Pills."

Zhao Tianzhao said:

"That’s all in retrospect, who could have known this would happen? But... Mengxue’s return is already a blessing; why ask for more?"

"Father, you speak the truth."

Zhao Tianzhao immediately called out loudly: "Someone come."

A Zhao Family junior entered from outside the door.

"Master."

"Announce my order, for the next seven days, the entire Zhao Family, hang lanterns and streamers to celebrate!"

"Yes!"

Once the news spread.

The entire Zhao Family was jubilant.

Who would have thought Zhao Family’s genius, Zhao Mengxue, would have another fortuitous encounter, reaching the peak of the Primordial Human Immortal stage overnight.

This was destined to be a sleepless night.

Zhao Mengxue did not oppose celebrating; instead, she hoped her rise would reach Emperor Yu’s ears.

To let everyone know, I, Zhao Mengxue, even without Wanxian University, without your help, can achieve greatness and become a grand cultivator.

However...

Time was pressing.

The Abandoned Demon Heavenly Emperor gave not much time... Zhao Mengxue needed to claim the heads of three Primordial Human Immortals within a week.

"Celebration is fine... but for the remaining time, I need to cultivate. You all go ahead and celebrate." Zhao Mengxue said.

"Mm... you focus on your cultivation, the entire Zhao Family will fully support you."

"Alright."

Zhao Mengxue gave only a cold one-word response.

If they hadn’t known she spent a millennium in that space, the two really might not endure it.

As elders, they had to be tolerant.

...

The Zhao Family threw a grand feast.

For a while, it was lively and bustling.

All Zhao Family juniors, as long as they were in Jiangzhou, hurried to Zhao Mansion within two hours.

The Zhao Mansion courtyard was filled with banquet tables inside and out.

It felt like those ancient, simple banquets before a great disaster.

Though not grand or sophisticated, it was certainly festive.

The prosperity of the Zhao clan made Zhao Tianzhao beam with joy.

The ancestors are watching, in my generation, the Zhao Family thrives... the Zhao Family begins its rise to prominence!

Worthy of the ancestors.

...

After rounds of drinking.

Zhao Tianzhao, slightly tipsy, raised his cup to signal everyone to quiet down.

"Today, the Zhao Family gained a peak-stage Primordial Human Immortal expert. This is heaven’s favor... it won’t be long before Mengxue reaches the Ancestor Realm. By then... who would dare underestimate our Zhao Family?"

"Wanxian University’s Ding Chunqiu expelled my granddaughter, the Emperor Yu of Tiandu Mountain, his notice, I respect him as a hero, but I won’t sacrifice my Zhao Family’s future for him... I did nothing wrong! I gambled right!"

"From now onwards, the Zhao Family must fully support Mengxue’s cultivation. My Zhao Family... will surely illuminate all of Huaxia!"

Zhao Mansion was in exuberance.

The Zhao Family juniors raised cups to celebrate:

"Illuminate Huaxia!"

"Illuminate Huaxia!"
