Chapter 552: 247. Shock

That day, the White Tower Saint Master contacted Lin Qing again and invited him to have a face-to-face meeting with Marquis Yu Xue in a scenic private attached space.

In the lush garden, beside the White Tower Saint Master stood a tall, silver-haired woman with a cold demeanor, dressed in a cloak-like black coat, with peculiar ornaments hanging on her neck.

“Is this Marquis Yu Xue?”

Lin Qing discreetly examined her. After all, she was a Void Dominator, and a Void Dominator wielding one of the Seven-Colored Divine Artifacts, which is quite impressive among Void Dominators.

“Lin Qing,” the White Tower Saint Master communicated, “although Marquis Yu Xue hasn’t agreed yet, she also doesn’t want to offend you. So, she will probably propose some conditions. As long as you agree to them, she should accept.”

Lin Qing’s heart stirred, understanding that the White Tower Saint Master must have persuaded her and likely disclosed his uniqueness to her.

Otherwise, as a newly promoted Secret Realm Master who just became a Void Creature, Marquis Yu Xue wouldn’t be too wary.

“Lord of Mountain and Sea, Mr. Lin Qing.”

Marquis Yu Xue looked at Lin Qing and softly said, “Let’s skip the formalities. If you want Qiuyue to go to your place, I have three conditions. As long as you agree, I will consent.”

“Please, go ahead,” Lin Qing said.

“First, I hope Mr. Lin Qing can become an honorary consultant of my Yu Xue family.” Marquis Yu Xue added, “Normally, you just need to hold the title. If in the future, my Yu Xue family faces a crisis of annihilation, and Mr. Lin Qing has the ability to rescue us, I hope you will lend a helping hand. If not, that’s fine.”

Lin Qing pondered and said, “What is the second condition?”

“The second condition,” Marquis Yu Xue said, “Qiuyue is the genius I have the highest hopes for. She is very likely to inherit my position in the future. Now being taken away by Mr. Lin Qing, I fear there may be a gap in succession. If our White Tower Civilization ever has a chance to communicate with the Mountain and Sea Realm, I hope Mr. Lin Qing will look after the talents of the Yu Xue family.”

Lin Qing contemplated briefly and said, “Okay, what’s the third?”

“Qiuyue is a junior I am very fond of; she is the only bloodline she has.”

Marquis Yu Xue slowly said, “I have prepared an opportunity for her in a 2.9-level Civilization Ruins. Now she is still merging with the Teleportation Token of that ruin. In a few hundred years, she should succeed.”

The White Tower Saint Master beside her couldn’t help but glance at her and said, “Is it the Cangxue Divine Palace? You are really generous.”

“I truly like this child,” Marquis Yu Xue shook her head slightly.

She looked at Lin Qing again and said, “But that 2.9-level civilization was once destroyed by the Star Abyss Demon Clan. There is still a trace of the Star Abyss Monarch’s will remaining. Anyone attempting to enter the Cangxue Divine Palace will attract the attention of the Star Abyss, bringing in Void Demons.”

“Star Abyss Monarch? Will remnants?” Lin Qing frowned and said, “You mean Void Demons will target Yuanxue Qiuyue? How could she survive until now?”

As far as he knew, once a Void Creature lives for over 38 million years, it attracts Void Demons entrenched in the Star Abyss Eleventh Layer.

Afterwards, when someone lives through the next 38 million years, Void Demons from the Star Abyss Twelveth Layer will be drawn.

When they pass the third 38 million years, Void Demons from the Star Abyss Thirteen Layers are attracted.

And so on; for every additional 38 million years one survives, increasingly severe Void Demons from deeper in the Star Abyss arrive.

Every 38 million years signifies a threshold, a great tribulation.

Even Void Level Divine Officers typically only have lifespans of several hundred million years at most!

The most terrifying aspect is when Void Demons descend and attack. They can instantly draw their target into the Star Abyss World, leaving little chance for outsiders to rescue!

Yet Yuanxue Qiuyue, a primordial creature targeted by Void Demons, has surprisingly survived to this day?

“It is not as Mr. Lin Qing thinks.”

Marquis Yu Xue nodded and said, “Although Qiuyue is targeted by Void Demons, she won’t be dragged into the Star Abyss. The Void Demons attacking her are generally entrenched at most in the Star Abyss Fourteenth Layer, so our family’s Elders have always blocked them for her.”

Lin Qing suddenly understood.

As he knew, the Yu Xue family’s Elders are peak existences among Void Creatures, often capable of creating the Five Phases Divine Skill on their own, perhaps even possessing High Level Divine Artifacts, usually wielding the power of the Star Abyss Fourteenth Layer.

Given that they can handle the Star Abyss Fourteenth Layer, it’s only natural for them to deal with the Void Demons of the Star Abyss Fourteenth Layer.

“So, Mr. Lin Qing will need to wait a few hundred years.”

Marquis Yu Xue said, “Although Mr. Lin Qing is the Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm, you have only recently transformed into the Void, and your current strength is still insufficient to protect Qiuyue. The Mountain and Sea Realm doesn’t have such powerful figures yet, does it?”

She paused and said, “Alternatively, let an Elder from the clan accompany Qiuyue to the Mountain and Sea Realm and protect her for a few hundred years.”

Lin Qing comprehended her meaning.

Even for Secret Realm Masters, when the Star Abyss Will descends, the World Power of the Secret Realm will retreat, so the Secret Realm Master cannot use the Secret Realm to confront the Star Abyss Demon.

Otherwise, Secret Realm Masters, if cautious, would not fall.

But in reality, many Secret Realm Masters have fallen!

Even Secret Realm Masters can only rely on their own strength when facing Void Demons.

Usually, for a newly minted Secret Realm Master, their strength is among the lowest.

“No need.”

Lin Qing shook his head and said, “Our Mountain and Sea Realm Civilization is still developing, and it’s not convenient to allow outsiders to reside long-term for now.”

Of course, this was just an excuse.

In truth, Yuanxue Qiuyue was destined to undergo Primordial Realm cultivation, which would involve the secrets of some Vacuum Tombs. Naturally, he wouldn’t permit outsiders to peek in.
