"Young Palace Master."
A fierce wind swept in as a powerful Earth Sovereign, shrouded in brilliant spiritual light, descended from the sky.
He was a young powerhouse dressed in a gray robe, with plain features.
Judging by his age, he was hardly any older than Mu Chen—clearly a peer.
"Senior Brother Qingyun."
By the lofty Heavenly Pool, a tall figure leaped down from the Cultivation Jade Platform suspended in midair. Smiling, he clasped his hands to greet the newcomer, his tone familiar.
Xiao Qingyun, the leading disciple under the Fourth Hall Master, held the Azure Dragon Token.
During the outbreak of the ancient calamity, he had helped his master, the Fourth Hall Master, defend the Northern Realm. He and a large contingent of elite troops had died together at a separate courtyard, after which evil energy had invaded his body.
This former Ninth Grade Perfection Sovereign had also seized the opportunity to reverse life and death and undergo the baptism of the continent's power, thereby advancing to the Earth Sovereign level and attaining the Lower Earth Sovereign Domain.
Of course, this was also because he had already accumulated enough power.
Back then, after Mu Chen used the Purification Spirit Array to free him, Xiao Qingyun had toyed with his feelings quite a bit before his consciousness faded. He had even left a message saying, "May my world endure forever."
Who could have imagined that they would meet again just three or five years later?
"I couldn't possibly be your senior brother, Young Palace Master. Just call me Qingyun."
After landing, the gray-robed Earth Sovereign hurriedly clasped his hands.
As if! As the Heavenly Emperor's successor and the Daoist Sect's handpicked closed-door disciple, Mu Chen held an extremely high position within the sect, second only to one and above countless others.
