Chapter 1085: Extreme God Sundial
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The man’s low and clear voice reverberated throughout Tongshen Palace—everyone could hear him clearly.
It was completely silent.
Jiang Zhiyuan’s originally pale face became even more miserable as her body shook, and she almost directly fell to the floor.
Jiang Hetian hurriedly picked her up.
Seeing her depressed and dispirited appearance, he was enraged and anxious. He couldn’t help but look up and holler, “Your Highness, watch your words! Do you want to disregard the Sky-Cloud Empire and all the divisions by saying this?! How can a woman from outside the God Residence realm be the
princess consort?!”
If Rong Xiu had any sense of rationality left, he wouldn’t say such a thing in public! Everyone, including us, had thought that the princess consort could only be chosen from Fairy Water Mound a very long time ago. Now that this suddenly happened, what exactly is going on?! Where can we show our
faces?
Rong Xiu’s expression didn’t change, and he didn’t allow anyone to disobey him. “I said she can, so she can!”
“Your Highness!” Respected Elder Yu Jing cupped his fists, and his expression was cold and harsh. “Do you really want to be willful?!”
Rong Xiu suddenly laughed, and his sharp brows were raised slightly. “All these years, I have been willful many times. Respected elders, are you not used to it yet?”
Respected Elder Yu Jing was stumped and didn’t know what to say in such a short amount of time.
Rong Xiu wasn’t exaggerating at all.
His identity was very special. When the clan leader and the rest found him outside the God Residence Realm, he was originally supposed to be executed. However, 36 Respected Elder Ming risked his life to save him, and together with his strong bloodline power and talents, he barely managed to stay.
He had been in the Sky-Cloud Empire for more than ten years. Starting from the small brat that was bullied by anyone in the beginning, he was now stably sitting in the position of His Grace. This just showed how intelligent and tactical he was!
Now that the clan leader was in seclusion, he held great power and was even more unreasonable!
Now, he even wanted to marry a person from outside the God Residence Realm—to be his princess consort!
As expected, his bones do have lowly blood!
However, Respected Elder Yu Jing and the rest definitely didn’t dare to say this in public.
The current Rong Xiu was no longer the him from back then! For example, although this contest seemed lively, open, and fair, he had actually already chosen that woman long ago. Alll of this was just for show!
This was all to let her ascend the position legitimately!
He even disregarded how other people thought of him and openly exposed his motive! Who could stop him?!
“Your Highness, what you said makes sense. Ms. Dugu did pass the selection contest and took first place. It is reasonable for her to be the princess consort.” Respected Elder Jing Chen—who was standing behind Respected Elder Yu Jing—suddenly laughed and peacefully said, “However, you also know the
Sky-Cloud Empire’s rules. The princess consort must be someone who has the bloodline of the clans in the God Residence Realm. If not, she can’t pass Jishen Palace’s test even if we all agree, right?”
Chu Liuyue’s brows moved slightly. Jishen Palace’s test? Need to have the bloodline of a clan in the God Residence Realm?
Just as she was pondering over this, Rong Xiu’s calm and determined voice sounded. “In other words, you will acknowledge her identity if she can pass that stage?”
Respected Elder Jing Chen nodded. “Of course.”
Rong Xiu lightly laughed. “Okay.”
Chu Liuyue glanced at Rong Xiu in confusion. Okay? What’s okay? I don’t have the bloodline of a clan in the God Residence Realm! Even if I have a Tianjing Yuan meridian, I can’t possibly push my way through such a situation, right?
But Rong Xiu didn’t seem to see her doubts and worries as he extended his leg and directly walked down.
He was extremely tall and was dressed in a black robe, which outlined his waist in an even more perfect manner. His shoulders were broad and his waist tiny, and he stood upright.
‘When he walked, his steps were very fast with an unspeakable distinguished and imperious aura. It was as if he walked out from a painting in a distinguished and demonic manner.
Chu Liuyue watched him calmly and was dazed for a moment as she instinctively held her breath in.
This man before her was strange yet familiar. In the past, he always wore snow-white clothes and was gentle and leisurely like a deity. But today, he simply changed into black clothes and seemed like he had completely changed.
He was swift, decisive, cruel, and harsh. One could even smell a faint sense of blood in the air.
That was the aura of someone who regularly toed the line between life and death and controlled many lines.
He was Prince Li—Rong Xiu.
He was also His Grace—Rong Xiu!
But when she looked into his eyes, she felt that it was still him.
Such a gentle expression was left for her alone.
He walked over and stretched out his hand. “Yue’er, let me accompany you.”
He didn’t address himself in a superior manner. Instead, he said he would accompany her.
Countless gazes followed him, yet she was the only one in his eyes.
At that moment, Chu Liuyue felt something surging in her heart. She held his hand—it was warm and big.
“Okay!”
Jiang Zhiyuan bit until her lips broke.
The metallic taste spread within her mouth, but she didn’t feel the pain at all. At this very moment, her eyes only had the two people holding hands.
Everyone could clearly see that he was the one who willingly stretched out his hand.
In front of that woman, he wasn’t the high and mighty His Grace—he was just a man looking at the woman he loved. His eyes and heart were filled with elation.
He had never used such a gaze to look at her.
Seeing her expression, Jiang Hetian sighed in his heart and comforted, “Zhiyuan, don’t worry. She’s from outside the God Residence Realm, so she definitely can’t pass Jishen Palace’s stage. Not to mention others, even the ancestors of the Sky-Cloud Empire won’t agree to let such a woman randomly take
on the position of princess consort!”
Jiang Zhiyuan pressed her lips against each other tightly. “But… she has a lot of tactics. Who knows if she will—”
If this Dugu Yue really looks as ordinary as she does on the surface, how could she possibly have two legendary fiends?! Even in the God Residence Realm, I have never heard of a person who could do this!
Jiang Hetian sneered. “She can use such messy methods to win these challenges, but what kind of place is Jishen Palace? That’s the place where they pay respect to the Sky-Cloud Empire’s ancestors! No matter how capable she is, could she possibly change her own bloodline?”
People from outside the God Residence Realm are born to be inferior to the rest. It’s ridiculous to put them and the official clans in the God Residence Realm in the same sentence.
“Just watch. Later on, she’ll lose completely and will have to admit defeat!” Jiang Hetian raised his chin. “With Respected Elder Yu Jing and the others here, you’ll still be the princess consort!”

Jiang Zhiyuan then nodded uneasily.
Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue held hands and walked out of Tongshen Palace, arriving at a square outside.
Behind them, Respected Elder Yu Jing and the rest walked out gradually.
The other people in the palace also curiously followed them out as they stood around the square.
Rong Xiu raised his chin and looked at the mountain peak. “That’s Jishen Palace—over there, there’s an Extreme God Sundial. When we’re there, you just have to put your hand above and inject some force into it. Then, the Extreme God Sundial will point to different numbers according to the strength of
the bloodline power in your body.. One is the weakest, and twelve is the strongest!”
