Against the Gods Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 60: New Moon Palace, Sikong Han



Yun Che was stunned by the voice. He turned around and looked at the tall man in front of him in a daze... No, it was a boy! But just looking at his body shape, no one would believe that he was only fifteen years old. He was two meters and twenty-three meters tall, and his body was surprisingly strong. His muscles bulged high, and he looked like a small mountain when he stood there.

“Yuanba! Why are you here?” Yun Che asked in amazement. This incredibly tall young man was Xia Qingyue’s younger brother, and also his only best friend since childhood—Xia Yuanba!

“Brother-in-law, it’s really you!” Seeing Yun Che’s face clearly, Xia Yuanba’s voice became even louder, and he rushed over with a look of surprise on his face. As he ran, the ground was faintly shaking. Looking at Xia Yuanba’s posture, he might give him a bear hug. Yun Che couldn’t help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp, and he subconsciously took two steps back… If he was hugged, a broken bone would be the least of his injuries.

“Stop, stop, stop, stop!” Yun Che waved his hands hastily, stopping Xia Yuanba from hugging him excitedly. He looked him up and down, and asked again: “Yuanba, why are you here?”

“I should be the one asking my brother-in-law.” Xia Yuanba’s face flushed with excitement. “Half a year ago, I heard that you were kicked out of the house. I looked for you for many days but couldn’t find you. Phew, I’m so glad you’re okay. I thought something had happened to you. I haven’t slept well for half a year.”

Xia Yuanba’s surprise and concern came completely from the heart. In this world, apart from Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi, the only one who truly cared about him was Xia Yuanba, who had grown up with him. Yun Che was touched and stepped forward to pat his strong arm: “Don’t worry, I’m very lucky, nothing will happen to me. Being kicked out of the Xiao Clan is a good thing. The world outside is much more exciting than Floating Cloud City where we have stayed for more than ten years. In the past six months, I have been walking westward from Floating Cloud City and arrived at New Moon City today. You are here... Could it be?”

Yun Che glanced sideways and glanced at the eye-catching sign of the New Moon Profound Palace.

“Hehe, my brother-in-law is really smart. I am in the New Moon Xuanfu now.” Speaking of the New Moon Xuanfu, Xia Yuanba showed a little pride on his face: “I came here half a year ago, and I was admitted to the first class of the Xuanfu.”

"Class One? Is it hard to get into this class?" From Xia Yuanba's tone, this "Class One" seemed very impressive.

“Of course.” Xia Yuanba nodded and said proudly, “Class One is supervised by the Grand Elder of Xuanzhi Mansion. The threshold requirements for entering Class One are the highest. Either you must have a good enough talent, or... hehe, you just have enough connections.”

Yun Che remembered that Xia Yuanba was at the fourth level of the Elementary Profound Realm half a year ago. At this age, this level can only be called mediocre, and has nothing to do with "good enough talent", so it can only be the latter. Yun Che looked suspicious and asked: "Does your family have a connection with the New Moon Profound Palace?"

Xia Yuanba smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Oh, actually, when my grandfather was young, he often went to Xinyue City and met a very good friend in Xinyue City. Later, my grandfather's friend became one of the deputy masters of Xinyue Xuanfu, so I entered Xinyue Xuanfu directly without taking any tests, and even joined the first class."

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Brother-in-law, have you always been alone? Have you found a place to stay in New Moon City? What are you going to do next?” Xia Yuanba asked anxiously, his concern evident in his words. He was too familiar with Yun Che. He had an average physique and had never been out of Floating Cloud City before the age of sixteen. Most importantly, his profound veins were crippled and he didn’t even have the ability to protect himself. It was hard for him not to worry.

“The great elder who personally supervises your class is called Sikong Han, right?” Yun Che did not answer Xia Yuanba’s question, but raised his head and asked. He was not short, but standing in front of Xia Yuanba, he felt like he had walked out of a small country.

“Uh, yes. It’s Elder Sikong. Brother-in-law, didn’t you just arrive in Xinyue City? How do you know Elder Sikong?” Xia Yuanba asked, touching his head.

“He and my grandfather had a connection. Before I left Floating Cloud City, my grandfather asked me to find him.” Yun Che said.

Hearing Yun Che say this, Xia Yuanba’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: “That’s great! Elder Sikong has a high prestige in New Moon City, and treats people very well. If he knows Grandpa Xiao, maybe he can arrange a place for you to stay... Well, it would be even better if he can arrange it in the New Moon Xuanfu.”

Yun Che smiled: "Then take me to find him."

In fact, Yun Che had no plans to stay in New Moon City for long. Under the vast sky, there were places for him to gain experience everywhere. However, he did not want to waste his grandfather's efforts, and also wanted to try to see if he could get some opportunities from Sikong Han.

“Oh, OK.” Xia Yuanba nodded immediately, but suddenly his expression paused and he stretched out his hand to scratch his ear: “However, it seems that I may not be able to see him today. Because today happens to be the day when the new palace master takes office, there will be a celebration banquet in the evening. I heard that the famous sects and forces in Xinyue City will be there, and Elder Sikong should be busy preparing.”

Yun Che thought for a moment and said, “In this case… let’s go to his place. It would be best if we can see him. If not, we can wait until tomorrow.”

"Oh, okay."

At that moment, Xia Yuanba led Yun Che to the gate of the New Moon Profound Palace. At the gate, the two of them were stopped. The young man guarding the gate stretched out his hand to block Yun Che: "Only disciples of this palace are allowed to enter."

Xia Yuanba hurriedly said, "Brother Zhan, he is my brother-in-law. If you have anything to ask, please come and see Elder Sikong."

The man Xia Yuanba called "Senior Brother Zhan" had a stern expression on his face and said solemnly, "Normally, disciples in the mansion can bring one person in, but not today. There will be a banquet in the evening to celebrate the new mansion master, and the elders are busy with other things, so it is inconvenient to see guests. If you have anything to do, come back tomorrow."

“This…” Xia Yuanba could only look at Yun Che helplessly.

Yun Che thought for a moment, then took out the wooden sign that his grandfather had given him, and said, “I wonder if this wooden sign will allow me to go in and see Elder Sikong right now?”

"Senior Brother Zhan" glanced at the wooden sign casually, and just as he was about to speak, he glanced back fiercely and frowned, "This is... Elder Sikong's Seven Mysterious Signet? Oh, you should have taken it out earlier. Please come in."

After saying this, he retracted his raised arm, took a step back, and motioned for Yun Che and Xia Yuanba to go in.

Yun Che just tried it casually, but he didn't expect it to be successful. After entering the New Moon Xuan Mansion, Xia Yuanba said in surprise: "Brother-in-law, how come you have Elder Sikong's Seven Profound Card? This card can only be possessed by the seven closest people to each elder. With this card, even people from the New Moon Xuan Mansion can enter the New Moon Xuan Mansion at any time."

"This plaque was given to my grandfather by Sikong Han back then, perhaps to make it easier for my grandfather to go to New Moon Xuanfu to find him." Yun Che explained. He thought to himself: Sikong Han actually gave such a plaque to my grandfather, it seems that the favor my grandfather gave him back then was not just an ordinary small favor.

At that moment, Xia Yuanba led Yun Che and headed straight towards the direction of the New Moon Profound Palace Elders’ Hall. Along the way, he introduced the New Moon Profound Palace and his experiences over the past six months to Yun Che.

At this moment, Jasmine’s strange voice suddenly came into Yun Che’s mind: “Is this person your friend?”

“Yeah. What’s the problem?” Yun Che couldn’t help but feel surprised that Jasmine actually asked about Xia Yuanba.

"How old are you?"

"Fifteen and a half."

“Fifteen and a half years old…” Jasmine pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: “This person actually possesses the Overlord Divine Vein!”

“Overlord…divine vein?” Yun Che paused for a moment and frowned, “What do you mean?”

"His Profound Vein is very special. The vein is more than twice as wide as that of an ordinary person, and even its structure is very different. This kind of Profound Vein has a name called Overlord Divine Vein. Even in the God... Humph, in short, it is an extremely rare Profound Vein. If it were where I was born, a person with this kind of Profound Vein would definitely dominate a region and be crowned as an emperor. But in this place, it is a useless vein! The reason why his body is so tall is because of his Overlord Divine Vein. Possessing this vein is not obvious in the initial Profound Realm, but once you step into the Profound Realm and your Profound Strength matures, you will have to put in at least ten times the effort of an ordinary person to upgrade each level! And for the rest of your life, you can only step into the Profound Realm and will never be able to break through to the True Profound Realm."

Yun Che: “…”

"Brother-in-law, we are here."

When Yun Che was about to continue asking, Xia Yuanba had already pulled him back and stood in front of an elders' hall.

"I'll go see if Elder Sikong is here."

Just as Xia Yuanba was about to knock on the door, it suddenly opened by itself, and a man in his 40s or 50s, wearing a dark robe, walked out. Seeing him, Xia Yuanba hurriedly went to greet him: "Elder Sikong, I see you're here. That's great."

This person was exactly Si Kong Han whom Yun Che was looking for this time, but he looked younger than Yun Che had imagined. Seeing Xia Yuanba, he smiled gently: "Oh? Yuanba, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

“It’s my brother-in-law. He wants to see you.” Xia Yuanba moved aside, allowing Sikong Han to see Yun Che, who had been completely blocked by his huge body.

Yun Che walked forward and said politely, “Elder Sikong, I am Yun Che, from Floating Cloud City in the East. I wonder if Elder Sikong still remembers an old friend named Xiao Lie from Floating Cloud City?”

"Xiao Lie? You mean Xiao Lie?"

Upon hearing this name, Sikong Han showed a reaction far beyond Yun Che’s expectations. He walked over quickly and grabbed Yun Che’s shoulders with both hands: “Where is he? Did he come to New Moon City?”

Yun Che shook his head: “No. Grandfather is still in Floating Cloud City. I came here to find you according to Grandfather’s wishes.”

After saying this, Yun Che took out the Seven Mysterious Plate and placed it in front of Sikong Han.

Si Kong Han picked up the sign, sighed, and said, "It's been seven years. I've always wanted to go to Liuyun City to visit him, but I've never been able to do so. I hope that this time, I can repay some of his kindness."
