Chapter 1060 Lost Legacy

As they made their way to the meeting, Senior Bai realized something, “Oh yeah, Lady Xu, I forgot to tell you. Yuan also wants to see if you can acquire any more information on the Heaven Refining Physique. He’s acquired the Perfect Physique, but his Heaven Refining Physique hasn’t been upgraded yet.”

“I will look into that after I acquire the soul cultivation technique,” she calmly said.

Senior Bai smiled and said, “Because you’re going to help him find a soul cultivation technique, my agreement with him is now useless. I guess I will have to find something else to give him.”

He’d promised Yuan that he’d help him find a soul cultivation technique if Yuan could injure him. But since Xu Jiaqi is also giving him a soul cultivation technique, he would only be wasting resources by giving Yuan another soul cultivation technique— one that will most likely be inferior to the one Xu Jiaqi will be giving him. Therefore, he decided to find something else to give Yuan.

‘He really resembles Father…’ Xu Jiaqi silently recalled Yuan’s appearance.

Now that Yuan looked more mature and even grew a little taller, his resemblance to the founder of the Celestial Overlord became even more clearer and obvious to her.

When she first met Yuan, she noticed that Yuan and her adoptive father had similar eyes, but everything else from his demeanor to his aura was completely different. This was the same during their second meeting.

However, on their third meeting just now, Yuan had changed so much that she almost mistook him for her father.

‘Why does he resemble father so much? Don’t tell me he’s one of my father’s true descendants? No… father never had a wife or childrens— at least not to my knowledge.’

Sometime later, they arrived at the meeting, where hundreds of individuals were gathered.

Each of these individuals emanated an unfathomable aura that only Immortal cultivators that have achieved the apex of cultivation could emit.

“How can you be this late when the Celestial Emperor himself had scheduled this meeting, Xu Jiaqi? Bai Linyu? We even had to contact you before you showed up.” One of the figures there said out loud when they arrived, her voice filled with contempt.

“You better have a good explanation for making the Celestial Emperor wait.” Another person said.

“How disrespectful to the Celestial Emperor. The Celestial Overlords are getting more arrogant by the day.”

Multiple people there expressed their disdain without any filters or fear for Xu Jiaqi. It was clear that she had some enemies within this place.

However, Xu Jiaqi remained tranquil and said, “Is this the right place for the meeting? I didn’t know dogs would be allowed to participate. Color me surprised.”

“Xu Jiaqi! You bitch! You dare call us dogs?!”

“I sure did. What are you going to do about it? Bite me? Go ahead and try it if you dare.”

“Settle down.” A calm yet authoritative voice suddenly resounded in the meeting room.

This voice carried a profound aura that made these Immortals that could destroy stars with a fist subconsciously lower their heads.

Xu Jiaqi turned to look at the person who just spoke. He was sitting at the end of the room and was looking down at them from a tall platform.

“Why are you late, Celestial Overlord Xu?” The voice returned.

“I had some important matters to attend first,” she calmly responded.

“Oh? A matter that is even more important than what is happening here? I’d like to hear it if you don’t mind.” The voice sounded genuinely curious.

And without explaining further, Xu Jiaqi suddenly released her cultivation, sending ripples throughout the area.

“W-What the hell do you think you’re doing in the Celestial Emperor’s presence?!”

“Have you gone mad, Xu Jiaqi?!”

“Stop it right now!”

The people there shouted when they sensed her indomitable aura, but nobody there actually dared to stop her, as they were all waiting for the others to move first.

As for the Celestial Emperor, he remained on his golden throne with a calm expression on his face, seemingly unfazed by the development.

A few seconds later, a massive golden avatar materialized behind Xu Jiaqi, shocking everyone in the room, as most of them actually recognized this technique.

“This is…” Even the Celestial Emperor couldn’t remain calm after seeing the God of War’s Astral Arts.

“This is why I am late. Do I need to explain myself any further?” Xu Jiaqi spoke a moment later.

“Is that technique what I think it is?” The Celestial Emperor asked her.

“God of War’s Astral Arts…” The people there muttered after hearing the Celestial Emperor’s question.

“Would you like to see for yourself whether this technique is real or not, Your Majesty?” Xu Jiaqi asked him with a daring smile on her face.

The Celestial Emperor chuckled, “As much as I want to entertain a beauty such as yourself, I will have to decline your offer. This place has history that goes all the way back to the Primordial Realm, so I would prefer it if we don’t make a mess here. Now if you’ll excuse me…”

The Celestial Emperor suddenly waved his sleeves in a casual manner, and the very next moment, the golden avatar behind Xu Jiaqi shattered into countless tiny fragments.

“Anyways, does this mean you have found the Founder of Celestial Overlord’s lost legacy?” The Celestial Emperor then asked her.

“…”

Xu Jiaqi remained silent, but not because she didn’t want to answer his question. In fact, she couldn’t, as she didn’t know either.

‘I was too hasty to acquire the technique and forgot to ask Yuan where he’d acquired the technique.’ She sighed inwardly.

After a moment of silence, she said, “I don’t know because I had to rush here right after acquiring the technique.”

“You don’t know? Then how did you acquire it?” The Celestial Emperor asked out of curiosity.

“I will not be sharing such information, considering how many people here covet my father’s legacy.” Xu Jiaqi calmly said as she swept the crowd there with a cold gaze.
