Just then, a clear, piercing dragon's cry echoed across the sky.
On the horizon, a Royal Spiritual Boat appeared. It was a hundred times more lavish than an ordinary Flying Palace Ship, its hull entirely inlaid with lustrous pearls and fine jade, and carved with the emblem of a four-clawed golden dragon.
The Spiritual Boat tore through the clouds and slowly descended.
Two figures stood at the prow: the true ninety-ninth Prince of Daqian, Xiao Dinglan, and the Vice Director of the Imperial Observatory, Su Xiaotai.
Seeing them, Qin Xuan's heart sank.
'Su Xiaotai… Why is he here so early!'
The Divination had said a Nascent Soul Peak Cultivator would arrive in half a month, but that time clearly hadn't come.
But wait, something was off.
After a moment of thought, Qin Xuan calmed down and immediately realized what it was: the Divination had specified Nascent Soul Peak.
