I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 227

Chapter 227: You are what?!
Huh? Xia Shenyi was dumbfounded. “You mean some powerful people from the Astral Realm took the pendant?”

Freya Everglade gave a faint nod. “Yeah, your master tried to search you with the pendant and… people from Astral Realm found it and took it from your master.”

“They claimed it belonged to them.”

Xia Shenyi turned her eyes to Zhao Tian. “Now that it’s 100 percent confirmed, you are from the Astral Realm.”

This made Zhao Tian even more curious about his background—about his mom and dad. A woman from Low Star and a man from Astral Realm.

How did they even meet?

It must have been between the three years Zhao Ning went missing from her home.

Xia Shenyi turned her eyes to Shi Yixian. “Do you know anything about this?”

Shi Yixian shook her head “No, I don’t remember something like that. But, after staying inside that coffin for hundreds of years, I am slowly regaining my memories.”

Freya Everglade glanced at Shi Yixian and asked, “Shenyi, who is she?”

Xia Shenyi replied, “She is from Astral Realm; now she is a slave to Tian.”

Slave? Freya Everglade was surprised. “I see, that’s why she looks strong,” she muttered, glancing at Shi Yixian, who has a stoic face.

Zhao Tian looked at Shi Yixian and frowned. ‘I will ask about that later, personally.’

With a sigh, he wrapped his arm around Xia Shenyi “Shenyi, you still haven’t told me how you and Freya know each other.”

Xia Shenyi and Freya Everglade looked at each other and Xia Shenyi giggled faintly. “This Freya Everglade here is the second princess of the Eleven High Star.”

“Every 1000 years, there will be a Tournament held in Astral Realm, where young geniuses of many High Stars and even from Astral Realm will participate. The competition will be held in Astral Realm.”

Zhao Tian was quite surprised “You have been to Astral Realm? But know nothing about that place?”

Xia Shenyi shook her head “No, we were never told any information about Astral Realm. During the tournament, ships will be sent from the Astral Realm to all the stars that were participating.”

“I took the lead, representing my sect and star, with other disciples from my sect, and for Freya Everglade, she took the head of her Elven Star.”

“We board the ships and we will be directly taken to our rooms, which are close to Arena. We are not even allowed to go outside of the premises.”

Freya Everglade muttered with a sigh, “But the astral energy is richer and more dense than High Star. So I just cultivated sitting there.”

Zhao Tian turned his head toward Shi Yixian, curiosity etched in his voice. “Yixian, is the astral realm different from a high star? Why are they trying to hide it.”

Shi Yixian shook her head “No, My Liege… I don’t remember anything that could potentially need to be hidden from high-star people in the Astral Realm.”

“The Astral Realm is split into many dynasties and sects; there is nothing to hide.”

Zhao Tian squinted his eyes. “I see. Why is the tournament even held? Just show off?”

Xia Shenyi rolled her eyes “Yeah, just a show-off by Astral Realm people. They conduct this competition and in the end, a disciple from the Astral Realm is going to win anyway.”

“To show that they are more powerful than High Star people.”

Xia Shenyi glimpsed at Freya Everglade “Since I have dual elements, which is rare in high stars and Freya too, having dual elements made both of us rivals in the public’s eyes.”

“We also thought it was a good idea and fought each other. But she had Empyreal flame and Phoenix Ice, while I only had normal flames and water.”

“She overpowered me and I lost the fight.”

“Well, we became friends later, but damn bitch, she never allowed me inside her star and didn’t let me research any of their artifacts.”

Freya Everglade winked her eyes “Not only you, we never allow anyone in our star… you see, someone might try to steal the artifacts and there are many secrets there.”

Xia Shenyi’s lips twitched. “One day, I am going to rip that star apart and research all those highly advanced artifacts of yours.”

Hearing this, Freya Everglade chuckled and said, “Haha, you can’t; you already know there is a powerful barrier placed around the star. You can’t enter without my mom’s permission.”

Meanwhile, all the chuckling and bantering was happening, and Ning Xue stayed silent, listening to the conversations.

‘Powerful woman.’ She narrowed her eyes, seeing Zhao Tian casually draping his shoulder around Xia Shenyi.

She didn’t expect him to have a powerful and beautiful woman like Xia Shenyi as his wife. She took a deep breath, controlling her emotions as she leaned on his shoulder.

“Xue’er?” Zhao Tian called, softly caressing her cheek as she rested on his shoulder. “Tian, are you really from the Astral Realm?”

Freya Everglade squinted her eyes “Elves see more than others and that’s why I could easily discern that you are from the Astral Realm, but after hearing your talk, it seems that you yourself are unsure of where you originally belong.”

Zhao Tian let out a soft sigh and Xia Shenyi chuckled. “Hm, its quite a long story. So, let me shorten it… Tian has the Honoured One physique.”

Huh? Freya Everglade frowned at her eyebrows but then she realized and her eyes widened in utter shock.

“Honoured… One?” A mutter left her lips.

Hm? Ning Xue was confused hearing the name ‘What is Honoured One’s physique?’

Freya Everglade, still reeling from shock, narrowed her eyes. “Shenyi, do you know what you are talking about? That Honoured one physique? The one at the top?”

“Yeah…” Xia Shenyi gave a faint nod.

“This is not a thing to joke about, Shenyi. This joke would get him killed if he went to High Stars.” Freya Everglade spoke in a serious tone.

Xia Shenyi couldn’t help but chuckle. “Why would I joke, Freya? I don’t see any point in lying to you about this matter.”

“You know about my physique, right?”

Freya Everglade said, “The same as my mother’s constellation physique… this physique owner can see through other people’s physique.”

As she spoke, she paused and took a moment to realize. Seeing the shock in Freya Everglade’s eyes, Xia Shenyi spoke calmly “Even I was shocked to first see his physique.”

“Because it was too good to be true, the rarest physique that could overthrow the limitation of the heavens itself is near me.”

“The… rarest physique?” Ning Xue looked at Zhao Tian in amazement.

As the information sank in her mind, Freya Everglade was shaken to the core. The Honoured One physique? The young man in front of her?

But as Xia Shenyi said, she sees no benefit in lying this. Because she is under him now, and he can control her within this artifact.

Freya Everglade closed her eyes and took a deep breath. As she opened her eyes, she stood up and bowed her head. “It is an honor to meet you, the honored one.”

Huh? “Why are you bowing?”
