Chapter 463: The Mad Mo Tianxue

Tianwu Kingdom.

“Your Majesty, Princess Mo Yu and Master Zhang have arrived in Xuanyuan Kingdom!” the Shadow Guard Commander reported, cupping his fist.

“Hmm!”

Nodding, Mo Tianxue seemed to recall something and couldn't help but sigh. “That girl is good at everything, but she’s too sentimental. All my efforts have gone to waste because of her!”

With Mo Hongyi’s powerful rise, Mo Tianxue worried about losing his throne. He had wholeheartedly intended to cultivate Mo Yu, the most talented of his children, to inherit his position. Yet, because of personal affections, the girl turned and left with Master Zhang, leaving Mo Tianxue both anxious and helpless. A grown daughter, indeed, cannot be held back. Master Zhang is a genius, unparalleled in the world; Tianwu Kingdom could certainly not retain such a person. Since there was no hope, why insist? It would have been better for her to stay in the kingdom, cultivate diligently, and swiftly enhance her strength to inherit the throne. Now that Mo Hongyi has become a two-star Master Teacher, his prestige is even greater. If she turns and leaves, how will she succeed him when the people eventually forget her genius? He truly didn't know what that girl was thinking!

“Although the Princess is willful, she is obedient to Your Majesty’s words. After escorting Master Zhang to the Myriad Kingdoms Alliance, she should return,” the Shadow Guard Commander said. As the King’s personal guard, he knew Mo Tianxue’s thoughts perfectly well. To smoothly inherit the throne, one needed not only strong power but also prestige. The King’s reluctance for the Princess to travel was precisely because he wanted her to gradually take on state affairs, accumulate achievements, and then confidently pass on the position. Instead, she just turned and left without a word, making his anger understandable.

“I hope so!” Mo Tianxue said with a bitter smile. “If she could truly capture Master Zhang’s heart, then escorting him wouldn’t matter. Unfortunately, Master Zhang is a dragon among men; he has no interest in her at all. Even traveling thousands of miles to see him off would be a waste of time!”

The Shadow Guard Commander didn't know how to respond. Although he had never directly interacted with Master Zhang, he had seen him secretly a few times and heard many of his deeds. He knew that the ambition of such a super genius could not be confined by romantic affections.

“Enough, let’s not talk about this anymore...” Dismissing the gloom in his heart, Mo Tianxue was about to continue speaking when he saw an old man hurrying towards him. “Your Majesty, Your Majesty…” Even before entering the room, the old man’s face was flushed, and he trembled uncontrollably with excitement.

“Elder Qu, weren’t you supposed to be watching the communication wall? Why are you rushing here so urgently?” Mo Tianxue frowned. Elder Qu, or Mo Qu, was an esteemed elder of the royal family. Just as the Lin family possessed a communication wall that connected to Xuanyuan Kingdom, the Tianwu royal family, as a first-tier kingdom, also had one. This allowed them to receive messages from Xuanyuan Royal City and learn of changes in the higher kingdom in advance, enabling them to respond accordingly. Elder Qu was responsible for managing this communication wall and its connections. Moreover, like Elder Qian of Tianxuan Kingdom, he oversaw the entire kingdom’s information transmission and circulation. This position involved gathering intelligence; usually, he would simply send younger subordinates to deliver messages. Unless a major event occurred, he would not come in person.

“Your Majesty, something… something huge has happened!” Stopping, Elder Qu’s face was flushed with excitement.

“Something huge?” Mo Tianxue looked at him. “What is it?”

“Master Zhang arrived in Xuanyuan Royal City, and today, he caused a great disturbance, killing Crown Prince Ding Mu!” Elder Qu reported.

“Killed Crown Prince Ding Mu?” Mo Tianxue’s face turned pale, and he nearly fainted. The Crown Prince of a Conferred Kingdom held an esteemed status, far beyond anything his first-tier kingdom could compare to… To directly kill him, was Master Zhang insane or simply tired of living?

“Yes, and not only that, but he did it during Crown Prince Ding Mu’s enthronement ceremony!” Without noticing the King’s darkening face, Elder Qu continued to explain, “The result was that Old Ancestor Ding Hong emerged…”

“Are you referring to Emperor Ding Hong, who was famous throughout Xuanyuan a hundred years ago? He… he’s still alive?” Mo Tianxue swayed. Emperor Ding Hong had reached Half-Step Transcendent Mortal over a century ago and was renowned worldwide. Mo Tianxue had assumed he was long dead, never expecting him to still be alive.

“Yes, not only is he alive, but he has also become a Transcendent Mortal realm expert…” Elder Qu replied.

“Transcendent Mortal?” Mo Tianxue’s voice trembled. “Then Master Zhang…”

He didn't finish his sentence, but his implication was clear: Master Zhang was likely in grave danger. If you run into someone’s home and kill their future king, how could their Old Ancestor possibly spare you? He knew Master Zhang quite well; although his strength at the pinnacle of the Master realm could kill a Half-Step Supreme, the gap between that and the Transcendent Mortal realm was too vast—it was the difference between a divine dragon and an ant. He feared that once this Old Ancestor, famous for a century, made a move, Master Zhang wouldn't even be able to escape and would be struck dead on the spot.

“Oh, Master Zhang is fine. He broke through to Half-Step Transcendent Mortal on the spot and crippled Emperor Ding Hong…” Elder Qu said.

“What?” Mo Tianxue nearly fainted.

Strength at the pinnacle of the Master realm, breaking through to Half-Step Transcendent Mortal? Are you not joking? Furthermore, even between Half-Step Transcendent Mortal and true Transcendent Mortal, there’s a huge difference. How could he cripple him?

“The message from the other side states this precisely; I have already confirmed it, there’s no mistake!” Elder Qu nodded. “And… and…”

“What?”

Elder Qu hesitated, recalling the content on the communication wall; he still seemed unable to believe it. “The main reason I came was to report this to you: after Master Zhang defeated Emperor Ding Hong, he had Miss Mo Yu ascend the throne as the new King of Xuanyuan Kingdom, becoming a Queen…”

“Ascended the throne as King? Of Xuanyuan Kingdom?” Mo Tianxue nearly fell off his throne. He had just finished lamenting that Mo Yu, being too sentimental, had run off with Master Zhang, thus forfeiting the chance to win people’s hearts and gain prestige. And now… she had become the King of Xuanyuan Kingdom! Could this possibly be true? Xuanyuan Kingdom was his higher kingdom, with over twenty subordinate kingdoms like Tianwu. To become King there… How could it be anything but a dream?

“Yu’er only has a cultivation at the pinnacle of the Tongxuan realm; how can she be the King of a Conferred Kingdom?” After the shock, Mo Tianxue hastily asked. When Mo Yu left, she was only at the pinnacle of the Tongxuan realm, not even a Master. With such low strength, it would be difficult for her to become King even in Tianwu Kingdom. To be King of Xuanyuan Kingdom, wasn’t that just seeking death?

“Well… Master Zhang also felt her strength was too low, so he performed an empowerment on the spot, allowing her to break through. Princess Mo Yu is now… a powerhouse at the pinnacle of the Supreme realm!” Elder Qu replied.

“Break through on the spot? Pinnacle of the Supreme realm?”

*Plop!*

Unable to sit still any longer, Mo Tianxue fell to the ground, his eyes wide and vacant. He didn’t even notice when he pulled out some of his hair. From the pinnacle of the Tongxuan realm, to break through on the spot to… the pinnacle of the Supreme realm, Master Zhang, can you tell me how you did it?

“Yu’er… truly has foresight…”
