Chapter 483: Chapter 483: The Enchantress Who Could Captivate Even Women

"Lingxiao Palace? What does that mean?" Emperor Xuan Xia asked for confirmation.

"Lingxiao Palace? Heh, that name isn\'t quite fitting now. Let\'s call it Tiangong instead. Since Tianlang Island can no longer connect to the earth, we\'ll make it rise into the sky, soaring above the clouds," Zhong Shan explained.

Hearing Zhong Shan\'s words, Emperor Xuan Xia took a deep look at him. "You are the most audacious emperor I have ever met. I will support you."

"Thank you!" Zhong Shan nodded. With Emperor Xuan Xia\'s support, it meant more than a thousand words.

Support from Emperor Xuan Xia? This was the second time he had expressed his approval. The first was when they signed the wolf clan contract; this was the second.

"Not long from now, Gushentong will attempt to create a new world. Will you attend?" Zhong Shan asked Emperor Xuan Xia.

"Create a new world? Whether it succeeds or not, I will naturally go. Not only me, but almost every Heaven Extreme Realm expert in Shenzhou will be there," Emperor Xuan Xia said.

"Everyone?" Zhong Shan\'s heart tightened, and he quickly understood everything.

Such a grand event—who could resist attending? Heaven Extreme Realm? The Heaven Extreme Realm experts of Shenzhou, it would indeed be a grand gathering!

After parting ways with Emperor Xuan Xia, Zhong Shan and his entourage returned to the Xuanying Imperial Palace.

In a grand hall, the Radiant Sun Sword, a powerful Ninth Grade magical treasure, was placed.

This was a treasure coveted by many. But to Zhong Shan, it was just something to be consumed.

Although not for his own consumption, if others knew Zhong Shan intended to absorb a Ninth Grade magical treasure, they would be mortified. Of course, they didn\'t know that long ago, Zhong Shan had already consumed a Ninth Grade magical treasure, the Three-Petaled Golden Lotus. This was just a continuation.

Ninth Grade magical treasures, the most powerful artifacts crafted by the strongest in Shenzhou, were limited in number. For Zhong Shan to consume them one by one was truly terrifying for those in the know.

That day, the Empty Spirit Beads were systematically collected by the experts of the Great Zhenn Empire, continuously filling the treasury. Zhong Shan didn\'t need to manage these trivial matters—officials would handle the accounting and final approval.

Zhong Shan watched the Radiant Sun Sword, waiting. Sure enough, two days later...

"Zhong Shan, is your Tianlang Island about to collapse?"

A voice filled with excitement echoed from outside the hall. Naturally, it was Hao Meili.

Hao Meili, carrying the small golden dragon and followed by the Western Poison Emperor, entered the hall where Zhong Shan was.

The moment the Western Poison Emperor entered, his eyes lit up. "What a magnificent sword!"

The Radiant Sun Sword, a Ninth Grade magical treasure, was indeed extraordinary.

"How did you know?" Zhong Shan asked Hao Meili.

Of course, Zhong Shan knew how Hao Meili had found out, but asking this way would give her more excitement. This was the art of conversation.

"How could I not know? Three days ago, there was a massive tremor on Tianlang Island, causing a huge tsunami in the East Sea. The Dragon King said something major had happened on Tianlang Island, so I rushed over. When I saw the sea frozen for thirty thousand miles, I knew your Tianlang Island was doomed," Hao Meili exclaimed.

"Yes, the earth vein has been severed," Zhong Shan nodded.

Hao Meili was feeling quite pleased with herself.

"What? The earth vein was severed?" The Western Poison Emperor\'s gaze shifted sharply to the Radiant Sun Sword.

The earth vein severed? That spelled disaster.

"This sword originally suppressed the Abyssal Spring. I pulled it out, and in doing so, the Abyssal Spring\'s energy shattered the earth vein," Zhong Shan explained nonchalantly.

The Western Poison Emperor looked at the Radiant Sun Sword, then at Zhong Shan. After a moment of stunned silence, he said, "You... you truly have guts!"

The Western Poison Emperor didn\'t know how to view Zhong Shan. This man was unbelievable. Just recently, he had caused an uproar in the Sacred Land, taking something so valuable that it left the place in disarray. Now, he had nearly destroyed the vast Tianlang Island. Was he the god of destruction?

"What guts? It\'s just an island," Hao Meili retorted, rolling her eyes.

Hao Meili\'s boldness left Zhong Shan and the Western Poison Emperor speechless.

"This is what I got for you from the Dragon Palace. I could only get one," Hao Meili said, producing the Millennial Dragon Pearl and handing it to Zhong Shan.

The Western Poison Emperor, seeing the Millennial Dragon Pearl, felt a pang of jealousy. Why did all the good things end up in the hands of outsiders?

"Thank you!" Zhong Shan said bluntly, accepting the Millennial Dragon Pearl under the Western Poison Emperor\'s envious gaze.

"Look on the bright side, senior!" Zhong Shan patted the Western Poison Emperor on the shoulder.

The Western Poison Emperor nearly exploded with frustration at Zhong Shan\'s "comfort."

A year later, Zhong Shan, accompanied by Mr. Corpse and Shui Wuhen, returned to the Ancient Holy Capital.

The Radiant Sun Sword and the Millennial Dragon Pearl were invaluable treasures. After bidding farewell to Hao Meili, Zhong Shan had the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tails refine them, collecting the residual energy for himself.

The Eight Extremes Heavenly Tails had grown significantly stronger after consuming so many top-tier treasures. When the Abyssal Spring erupted, it even formed a solid entity to protect Zhong Shan. Since it was connected to Zhong Shan\'s spirit, he treated it well. It was an incredibly powerful and rare treasure, and its true strength was becoming increasingly apparent.

The energy from the refined treasures propelled Zhong Shan\'s cultivation, raising him from the seventh to the tenth level of the Consolidation Stage.

However, he hit a bottleneck. Further advancement required more than just energy—it needed a fateful opportunity, an extraordinary chance.

For others, such opportunities were rare, but Zhong Shan believed in his ability to seize or even create them.

The Ancient Holy Capital was enveloped in an atmosphere of intense anticipation. In just six months, the Emperor of the Da Luo Dynasty would attempt to create a new world.

Numerous powerful individuals had already gathered around the Ancient Holy Capital, but none dared to act rashly. They remained on the outskirts, waiting.

The four Crown Princes were all stationed in the Ancient Holy Capital.

Openly, there were five known Emperor Extreme Realm experts: Righteous King, Great Mysterious King, Taizong King, Battle King, and the Grandmaster Illusion Dragon Slayer. The true number of hidden experts within the Da Luo Dynasty was unknown, but the dynasty\'s strength was undoubtedly formidable.

Moreover, other dynasties and sacred lands wouldn\'t tolerate any troublemakers.

Everyone was waiting for Gushentong to amass enough energy to create a new world.

It was a monumental endeavor. If successful, it would benefit not only the Da Luo Dynasty but also countless beings in this realm.

The morning court sessions of the Da Luo Dynasty continued as usual. At this moment, everything was running smoothly, and the sessions were swift.

When Zhong Shan arrived at the Ancient Holy Capital, he immediately sensed its unusual calmness. It wasn\'t unrestful; it was overly peaceful.

Upon arriving at the Eastern Mansion, Zhong Shan stopped abruptly. In front of the mansion stood a beautiful woman, Gu Qianyou.

Gu Qianyou\'s eyes were filled with joy and excitement.

Mr. Corpse and Shui Wuhen wisely slipped away through a side gate, leaving Zhong Shan alone.

"Qianyou!" Zhong Shan called out softly as he walked toward her.

"You\'re back!" Gu Qianyou greeted him with the happiness and excitement of a wife seeing her husband return home.

Holding Gu Qianyou\'s hand, Zhong Shan smiled contentedly and led her into the mansion.

Gu Qianyou had returned a month earlier and, finding Zhong Shan absent, had stayed at the Eastern Mansion, waiting for him. A month may not seem long, but when longing for someone, time drags on unbearably. Finally, Zhong Shan returned.

Zhong Shan understood Princess Qianyou\'s feelings. He put aside worldly concerns and spent two days alone with her, easing their longing for each other.

On the floating island, in a pavilion, Zhong Shan and Gu Qianyou drank fragrant tea while admiring the prosperous scenery of the Ancient Holy Capital.

"Did you meet the leader of the Seven Star Hall?" Zhong Shan asked.

"Yes, the leader of the Seven Star Hall is an incredibly charming woman. There are few in this world who can resist her allure," Gu Qianyou said in amazement.

"Oh? Is there really someone more beautiful than you?" Zhong Shan asked with a smile.

"Of course there is. Sister Bao\'er and Sister Ling\'er, for instance," Gu Qianyou replied, rolling her eyes.

"Them? Each of you has your unique charm, like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums. You are all the most beautiful in the world," Zhong Shan said immediately.

"Really? Can you arrange a grand scene with ten thousand phoenixes singing and millions of blessings just for me?" Gu Qianyou pouted, a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

Zhong Shan didn\'t blame her for being jealous. After all, jealousy comes from caring. Besides, in love, Gu Qianyou was still a woman.

"Of course I can. If you wish, I can arrange an unprecedentedly grand scene for you right now," Zhong Shan promised.

"Alright, alright, save the grand scene for the other women you\'ve tricked," Gu Qianyou said with a laugh.

Gu Qianyou was sensible and knew this wasn\'t the time for petty arguments.

"But speaking of the leader of the Seven Star Hall, she truly is extraordinarily beautiful. She doesn\'t fall into the usual comparisons. She surpasses all other flowers in the world. She\'s simply beautiful, so beautiful it takes your breath away. Anyone who sees her will be mesmerized, even women," Gu Qianyou remarked.

"Oh?" Zhong Shan was intrigued. Was there really such a perfect woman?

"I saw her by chance because she always wears a veil. Without it, it\'s hard to ensure no one would be fatally enchanted by her beauty," Gu Qianyou explained.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Zhong Shan asked in surprise. He knew Gu Qianyou wouldn\'t exaggerate.

"Do you know who she is?" Gu Qianyou asked, a surprising glint in her eyes.

"Uh? Could it be someone I know?" Zhong Shan asked curiously.

"You might not know her personally, but you have definitely seen her," Gu Qianyou said with a mysterious smile.

Seen her? Zhong Shan frowned. If Gu Qianyou said he had seen her, it must be true. But who could possibly match such a perfect description? Suddenly, a beautiful figure flashed through Zhong Shan\'s mind.
