Chapter: 162

"Hah! What a joke, Xuanyin! You are someone in the Divine Master Realm. Being alone for such a long time made your standards fall so low that you are now even willing to marry a junior who isn't even in the Divine Tribulation Realm. Even your disciple is stronger than him," Huo Rulie didn't miss the chance to throw a jab at Xuanyin. He hated her, even more, after she denied helping them. He couldn't wait to pull her down to the ground.

"Oh my, it seems like I am quite underestimated," Yun Che said while taking another sip from his tea. He turned his gaze toward Xuerong, an idea popping into his mind. "Rong'er, he is insulting your master and mistress, shouldn't you be teaching him a lesson?"

"... As you wish, my lord."

Slap—A distinct sound of a slap resounded all over the Ice Phoenix Sect.

Everyone's eyes widened, and a look of horror appeared on their faces, especially the two sect masters who stood beside Huo Rulie.

Huo Rulie had a blank expression. Not understanding the sudden turn of events, his mind was trying to process everything.

He raised his head and looked at the unbelievably stunning woman standing in front of him, her azure crystalline gaze staring at him, and an antiseptic expression adorned her face.

"This is for insulting my lord and his wives. Refrain from doing it again in the future, lest you want me to freeze your whole star realm into one giant ball of ice."

Huo Rulie's eyes widened, the reality finally sinking into his mind.

He was hit.

He was slapped directly on the face in front of the whole Divine Ice Phoenix Sect, his disciple, the disciple of the other sect masters, and the other sect masters.

Such humiliation, Huo Rulie had never faced in his whole life.

"You… dare—!" Profound energy burst out of his body in the shape of golden destructive flames, his face burned with fury and bloodlust.

Slap—Another sound of a slap resounded, the golden destructive flames that had taken shape out of his body extinguished as if they didn't exist.

"There are things that even I don't dare to do, but slapping you is definitely not included in them. Show such a pathetic display again and I will cut your tendons, rip apart your limbs, and feed you to the ice wolves. I am sure they will enjoy the meat of a Divine Sovereign a lot."

"S-Sect Master Rulie made a mistake, please quell your anger, Senior," Yan Wancang was a smart person. The fact that Xuerong could easily play with a Divine Sovereign like Huo Rulie told him that this woman was definitely not someone to be underestimated.

Xuerong turned her gaze toward Yan Wancang before she turned around and appeared behind Yun Che and bowed.

"My lord, I made sure to give him a lesson and a warning."

"I saw it. You did a good job, Rong'er," Yun Che smiled and patted her head, causing her to narrow her gaze.

She found it really weird how a simple action could make her feel so good and fluffy.

Bingyun looked at Xuerong with an astonished expression. Not only her, but everyone from the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect was looking at her with horrified gaze.

They didn't know that their sect had such an expert in it.

The only person with a normal expression was Xuanyin. As someone who knew the real identity of Xuerong, she found it quite normal for her to toy with Huo Rulie.

Yun Che turned his gaze back to red-eyed Huo Rulie, who glared at Yun Che as if wanting to eat his flesh alive, and curious gaze at Yan Wancang and Yan Juehai.

"I heard that your Flame God Realm doesn't have a Realm King. Is that right?"

"You are right… senior." Yan Wancang found it weird addressing Yun Che with such an address but he continued. "We have a tradition that whoever reaches the bottom of the God Burning Inferno Prison will become the Realm King of the Flame God Realm."

"Hm, I heard that." Yun Che nodded and took a sip from his cup of tea. "Actually, I feel like it is quite underwhelming to marry Xuanyin and Bingyun without having a title of Realm King for myself. Don't you think so too?"

A frown instantly formed on the faces of the three sect masters.

"What do you mean, senior?"

"It's simple actually." Yun Che raised his head and smiled. "If I reach the bottom of the God Burning Inferno Prison, according to your tradition, I should become the next Realm King, right?"

"That…" Wancang became quiet.

"If you are worried about me being an outsider, then fret not." Yun Che raised his hand, and two blobs of flames appeared over it, dancing and harmonizing with each other. "I have the bloodline of both the Phoenix and the Golden Crow, so I am partially a member of the Flame God Realm."

Wancang, Huo Rulie, and Juehai's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Bloodline of both Phoenix and the Golden Crow… But how is this possible?" Juehai muttered in astonishment.

Possessing the bloodline of Phoenix, he knew full well how the spirit of the Golden Crow hated to have her bloodline ever compared to that of the Phoenix.

It was not even a debate, since the Golden Crow's Flames were destructive while Phoenix Flames were not.

The Golden Crow was an arrogant and prideful Divine Beast that would never bestow her bloodline to someone who possesses the bloodline of Phoenix in them. The fact that Yun Che had the bloodline of both Phoenix and the Golden Crow was no less than a miracle!

"Not only that… It's pure…" Huo Rulie's eyes widened, staring at the golden flame dancing above Yun Che's palm. "It's the purest golden flame I've ever seen! You, how did you get the inheritance of both the Phoenix and the Golden Crow?"

"Where or how, that's not the current topic now, is it?" Yun Che smiled, and the flames above his hand extinguished.

A serious expression appeared on the three sect masters. All three of them looked at each other and nodded.

"Very well, if you can reach the depth of the God Burning Inferno Prison, we have no problem with you becoming the Realm King of the Flame God Realm."

The decision solely wasn't because Yun Che wielded the flames of both Phoenix and the Golden Crow. The main reason for their decision was, after all, the presence of Xuerong that stood behind Yun Che like a dutiful maid.

The fact that someone in the Divine Realm served Yun Che alone was a testament to his unique background.

And if Yun Che became the Realm King, as her maid, wouldn't Xuerong also follow him? That way, their Flame God Realm would have someone in the peak of the Divine Master Realm!

Something that has never happened before in the history of their Star Realm.

With the power of Xuerong, let alone the Ancient Horned Dragon, many other problems could be solved. So while they had some problems with Yun Che becoming their Realm King, they readily accepted it.

"Then you can take your leave. I will visit your Star Realm sometime in the future."

'Definitely not because I just found out that Caiyi and Xue'er are chilling at the bottom of the God Burning Inferno Prison. Really, what the Phoenix and the Golden Crow are thinking? Also, I really cannot be bothered with taking care of a star realm, so having Caiyi take over it would be more beneficial. She already knows how to run a Kingdom; running a whole Star Realm shouldn't be a problem for her.'

Especially with her prideful and arrogant nature, Caiyi was the best candidate to be the ruler of the Flame God Realm.

'If only I had the power to drag a whole-ass Star Realm to wherever I liked, I wouldn't have to go through so much bullshit so that my wives can have a safe haven in the God Realm. Either way, once Caiyi becomes the Realm King, I need to build a teleportation array that connects the Illusory Demon Realm and see if I can make a tunnel for the Profound Energy to travel from the Flame God Realm directly into the Blue Pole Star.'

In the end, no matter how strong he became, he still considered Blue Pole Star as his home. And now that he has become the Realm King of the Blue Pole Star, Yun Che found it disgusting to have it so weak.

He was planning to make the place around the Blue Pole Star strong enough to even give birth to a True God!

'Once I am done with the creation of the new barrier, I can isolate the Blue Pole Star and make it into a completely independent world with fully functioning laws and stuff.'
