Chapter 488: What is Saint’s Remains
Xia Feng didn’t actually need to absorb the honey, but he still had to act the part, so he buried his head and began to speed up his absorption.
At the same time, he noticed he had grown a little taller, and his bone age had increased by one year.
From now on, he estimated he would age one year per day until he recovered to the physical state he was in when he committed suicide in the Calamity Demon Sea.
“Stand up straight.”
Jiang Qiue knelt in front of him, wiped the honey from the corner of his lips, changed him into a new set of clothes, and tidied his black hair and tied his tie, making him look like a young noble.
But this was not the main point. The main point was that Xia Feng realized this fox demon seemed to be treating him like a collectible doll she was raising.
Her gaze at him became more and more satisfied, even containing anticipation. He didn’t know what she was anticipating.
While Xia Feng was contemplating, Jiang Qiue gently placed the black fox mask on his face.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to see an old acquaintance.”
Xia Feng followed the woman in the green dress out of the castle. A dark hovercar was already parked outside. A blonde youth was lounging against the car, casually tossing a lighter into the air and catching it.
However, when the blonde youth saw Jiang Qiue, he immediately put away his lighter and stood up straight, but then he paused.
He looked thoughtfully at the boy following the Saintess, who had an extraordinary aura. “Who is this?”
“Mu Feng, an artificial life,” Jiang Qiue said, without further explanation, and got into the car.
Yesterday, Saintess Qiue had registered the brief information of the artificial life in the Holy See’s database, so Yuji Pao was aware of it. He just didn’t expect that this artificial life seemed to possess such high intelligence.
A maid was in the driver’s seat, and Yuji Pao sat in the passenger seat, glancing at the rearview mirror.
The boy was looking down at his phone screen, seemingly browsing various related information within the Black Moon Holy See. His expression was hidden by the fox mask he was wearing.
“What’s going on with the quota for Bei Qiu Abyss?” Jiang Qiue’s calm inquiry pulled Yuji Pao back to his thoughts.
“Originally, the quota for entering Bei Qiu Abyss this year belonged to You Lina. However, Saintess Lina died in Sector 51 at the hands of the Peach Organization a year ago, so this quota became vacant. Now, according to the discussions of the various Cardinals, the strongest of the three Saintesses will obtain the quota.”
Yuji Pao paused, and said hesitantly, “This means that you might have to fight the other two.”
He paused here, and said with displeasure and a cold laugh,
“This is obviously favoring Olivia. Olivia is the earliest Saintess, and she has already reached the Venerable Second Realm. She is a super genius on par with those from the Ye Li Clan and the Golden Sparrow Flower. Who can defeat her?”
Jiang Qiue’s gaze was calm, and she fell into contemplation.
Xia Feng was also somewhat surprised. He didn’t expect the power gap between the four Saintesses of the Black Moon Holy See to be so large.
Xia Feng had naturally met the deceased You Lina. It was her guardian knight who caused the Dragon God to awaken unexpectedly.
Xia Feng remembered that You Lina only had a Third-stage cultivation, right?
As for Cha Nai Xue, she was close to breaking through to the Fourth-stage a year ago, so she should be a Fourth-stage Spirit Master now.
Speaking of which, Cha Nai Xue was actually a genius. A Fourth-stage Spirit Master at the age of 21. Such talent was considered top-tier in the Empire.
However, to determine if a Spirit Master is a super genius, one must also consider the speed at which they learn A-class Spirit Robes.
Many geniuses could quickly raise their cultivation to the Pu Wu stage.
But from Pu Wu to True Martial was a seemingly insurmountable threshold. The speed of promotion for most geniuses would plummet at this stage, delaying them by more than ten or even decades. And from True Martial to the Venerable Realm was another terrifying threshold, blocking the path of most geniuses.
Only those who could become Venerable within a hundred years, after much sifting, were true super geniuses.
For example, Olivia, whom Yuji Pao had just mentioned. According to Xia Feng’s search on the Black Moon Holy See’s internal network.
This Saintess successfully broke through to the Venerable First Realm at the age of 86, becoming the strongest Saintess, and is now in the Venerable Second Realm.
Her subordinate forces, the Knights Legion, were therefore the largest, and many Knights Legion were willing to follow this Saintess.
The reason for such a huge difference, and why Cha Nai Xue, Jiang Qiue, and the weakest You Lina could still become Saintesses was that the four of them had a very high compatibility with the S-grade Spirit Robe – Moon God Domain.
As for what this “compatibility” meant and how the standard was set, Xia Feng could not find related information on the internal network.
“Teacher, don’t you think the opening of Bei Qiu Abyss this time is a little off?”
Yuji Pao spoke again, asking, “In the past, when Bei Qiu Abyss opened, usually only our three Holy Sees would send people in.”
“But this time, not only the three Holy Sees, but also the Seven Great Clans of the Empire, the Ye Li Clan, the Golden Sparrow Flower, and even the Burning Heaven Sacred Hall are making moves.”
“Did something rare and precious appear in Bei Qiu Abyss?”
Hearing his question, Jiang Qiue raised her eyes and said calmly, “Didn’t your father tell you? Clues to the location of the Saint’s remains have appeared, and they are within Bei Qiu Abyss.”
Saint’s remains? Yuji Pao was somewhat surprised. After a moment of thought, he gave a low laugh:
“These years, various forces have used all sorts of means to compete for the Saint’s remains and the Sumeru Throne. I didn’t expect that the final battle for the Sumeru Throne hasn’t started yet, but the Saint’s remains have already shown signs.”
Xia Feng listened silently from the side, while his fingers tapped away, secretly entering ‘Saint’s Remains’ and ‘Sumeru Throne’ into the Black Moon Holy See’s internal network to search for related information.
As an artificial intelligence like the Bee Swarm Will, it naturally needed to input a large amount of external information to expand its knowledge base. Therefore, Jiang Qiue would not suspect his thirst for knowledge. She would even actively help him understand the world.
Of course, Xia Feng was still a little worried that if this woman asked him questions and asked him to analyze something, he might actually reveal himself.
Soon, Xia Feng used his Saintess authority to find information related to the Saint’s remains on the internal network.
Xia Feng quickly browsed through it and generally understood.
Among the gods in the Astral Realm, after a god fell, their authority could become a God Relic, their Godhead shattered, and they would perish.
But the Three Saint Star Gods were different. After They fell, their Godhead remained intact and could be inherited by other living beings! To become the new Three Saint Star Gods!
They were also the only Star God whose Godhead could be inherited.
And the Saint’s remains were the key to inheriting the Godhead!
Of course, there were many restrictions to inherit the Godhead, one of which was that one needed at least Sage-level strength.
But regardless, it was terrifying enough.
The Godhead of the strongest Star God! As long as it was inherited, one would directly become invincible in this era!
No wonder the clue to the location of the Saint’s remains appeared in Bei Qiu Abyss, and all the major forces rushed to it.
It was just puzzling to Xia Feng that if the Three Saint Star Gods were the only inheritable Godhead, then how did Gong Changyi inherit the Eternal Day Godhead?
Xia Feng recalled the incident at Willow Manor. That mysterious Doctor Liu, Liu Zheng’en, did he have some special method?
