Battle Through the Heavens: My Grandfather is a Six-Star Dou Sheng

Chapter 39 The Queen's Appointment

"Um?"

Zhu Kun, who was about to despair, suddenly raised his head when he heard Jiang Xing's unexpected turn of events.

"Could it be...?"

Jiang Xing stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "Uncle Zhu Kun, the strongest people on the three Dragon Islands are only three-star Dou Sheng, while my grandfather is a six-star Dou Sheng. I can ask my grandfather to help Donglong Island unify the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and make Zi Yan the Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan."

"real?"

Upon hearing that Jiang Xing could help unify the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, Zhu Kun was overjoyed.

As for making Zi Yan the new Dragon Emperor, Zhu Kun was not displeased that Zi Yan had taken his throne; on the contrary, he was quite happy.

"Of course, I have always regarded Ziyan as my own sister, so naturally I will help her unify Dragon Island and make her the Dragon Empress."

At this moment, Jiang Xing also made sure to win Zi Yan's favor.

Zhu Kun: "Alright, as long as you can help the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan unify, feel free to ask for anything in the future!"

"Uncle Zhukun, I do have two things I'd like to ask of you."

Zhu Kun waved his hand and said readily, "You've helped your uncle so much, so feel free to ask if there's anything you need."

"I have a fragment of ancient jade from Tuoshe, and I would like you to keep it safe for me."

"Huh? Since you have a fragment of the Tuoshe Ancient Jade, why don't you give it to the Soul Clan so they can gather all eight fragments?"

At this moment, Zhu Kun suddenly felt that his brain was not working properly.

"Uncle, I obtained this fragment of the Tuoshe ancient jade by killing someone. The person's sweetheart is very powerful. I am not strong enough now and dare not keep this ancient jade fragment on my person, for fear that his sweetheart will find out. So I want to leave this ancient jade fragment with Uncle Zhukun for safekeeping."

"But if I keep this ancient jade, won't the Soul Clan be unable to gather all eight fragments?"

Immediately, Zhu Kun realized what was happening, and his previously amiable attitude vanished instantly.

"You little brat, you don't want me to leave?"

"No, no, Uncle Zhukun, please don't misunderstand. I just feel that the ancient jade fragment is not safe on me, so I want to leave it here temporarily. When I have enough strength, I will naturally come here to take the ancient jade and give it to the Soul Clan."

Jiang Xing didn't want to lose Zhu Kun as a henchman, so he quickly explained.

Upon hearing Jiang Xing's explanation, Zhu Kun's expression softened considerably, but he still asked, "When will you take this ancient jade and give it to the Soul Clan?"

"Fifteen years. Within fifteen years, I will definitely take the ancient jade fragments and give them to the Soul Clan to help you get out."

Jiang Xing originally wanted to say twenty years, because twenty years should be enough time for him to cultivate to the advanced Dou Sheng level, at which point he would be able to open the cave.

Seeing Zhu Kun's expression, Jiang Xing realized that he might find twenty years too long, so he directly said fifteen years.

However, Jiang Xing was clearly overthinking it. Monsters and humans are different. Humans might think that twenty years is a long time.

But monsters have very long lifespans; twenty years might just be the time it takes for them to take a few naps.

Sure enough, Zhu Kun readily agreed.

"Okay, then I'll keep it for you for fifteen years, and I hope you'll keep your promise."

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhukun, I, Jiang Xing, am the most trustworthy person."

After saying that, Jiang Xing tossed the fragment of the Tuoshe ancient jade in his hand to Zhu Kun, who then caught it firmly.

"And the second thing?"

"When the Soul Clan opens their cave, I hope Uncle Zhukun can help me."

"No problem!"

Jiang Xing had helped him so much, so Zhu Kun readily agreed to the request.

"In that case, we'll take our leave now."

After finishing his business, Jiang Xing naturally didn't want to stay here with Zhu Kun any longer, so he pulled Zi Yan away.

After leaving the lava with Zi Yan, they asked Lin Shan to lead them away from Canaan Academy and back to the Serpent People.

After returning to the Snake-People tribe, Jiang Xing sent Zi Yan and Lin Shan away and went back to his room to cultivate.

Inside the cultivation room, Jiang Xing took out the fire pearl he had obtained from underground lava.

He had already obtained these fire beads when he was a Dou Huang. He originally intended to refine them to break through to Dou Zun, but unexpectedly, he accidentally entered the Gate of Life and Death.

The wind-attribute battle qi inside the Gate of Life and Death was already dense enough that there was no need for this fire bead.

He has already broken through to the Dou Zun level, so who knows how much more this fire bead can improve him?

Jiang Xing swallowed a Dou Zong-level bead. As soon as he swallowed it, that familiar burning sensation began to travel down his throat and into his body, and then his skin gradually turned red.

Five minutes later, Jiang Xing finally completely refined the fire attribute energy inside the bead.

The effect was quite good; refining a single Douhuang-level fire bead was equivalent to an hour of his cultivation.

He still had over a hundred Douhuang-level fire beads, nearly a hundred Douzong-level fire beads, more than ten Douzun-level fire beads, and one Bansheng-level fire bead.

As for fire beads below the Douhuang level, they no longer had much effect on Jiang Xing's cultivation, so he simply ignored them.

Jiang Xing planned to give those low-level fire beads to Zi Yan to refine. Zi Yan's true form was the Ancient Void Dragon, so she should also be able to refine these fire beads.

With these fire beads, even without absorbing strange fire, it would be enough for him to cultivate to the level of a nine-star Dou Zun.

Seeing that it was still early, Jiang Xing continued to consume the fire pearl and began refining it.

As for why we look at the sky?

Of course, it's because he has things to do tonight. Jiang Xing hasn't forgotten that he has an appointment with Queen Medusa tonight!

Cultivation is important, but the date with the Queen cannot be missed.

After refining twenty Douhuang-level fire beads, Jiang Xing's cultivation level finally broke through from two-star Dou Zun to three-star Dou Zun.

Jiang Xing wasn't surprised, after all, he had already reached the peak of the two-star Dou Zun level when he was at the Gate of Life and Death.

His breakthrough, achieved by absorbing twenty Douhuang-level fire beads, was exactly what he had anticipated.

After breaking through to the three-star Dou Zun level, Jiang Xing stopped cultivating.

It's getting late, time to go keep my appointment!

It wouldn't be good to keep the Queen waiting too long.

He left his own dwelling and headed towards Medusa's residence.

Jiang Xing did not rush, but walked slowly.

"Young Master, where are you going?"

Just then, a crisp sound came from behind.

Jiang Xing turned around and saw Qing Lin. He greeted her, "Qing Lin, you're still up so late?"

"No, I just couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk. Young master, are you having trouble sleeping too?"

"Yes, I also had some trouble sleeping, so I came out to find the Queen."

Jiang Xing wasn't lying; he really couldn't sleep.

If you have insomnia, go have a heart-to-heart talk with the Queen. Be honest with each other, and you should be able to fall asleep.

Qinglin asked in confusion, "Looking for the Queen? Isn't the Queen asleep?"

Jiang Xing patted Qing Lin's head but did not answer Qing Lin's question.

It's not good for children to know too much.

"Then you have a good time shopping, I'm leaving now."

Jiang Xing hummed a little tune and walked briskly to Medusa's residence.

I knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock!"
