Chapter 997: All Hail His Majesty —

Grand Secretary Fang promptly agreed to ask around for information on the broken star pieces.

"By the way, what cultivation level are you at now?" Feng Wu asked curiously. "The lightning tribulation this time was unheard of. If it wasn't for the Taiyi formation, both of us would have been killed."

Grand Secretary Fang gave it some thought. "Not counting those old reclusive buggers, I'm sure I'm now one of the top five cultivators in the Junwu Empire."

"Only top five?"

Grand Secretary Fang threw her a dirty look. "What do you mean by 'only'? Kiddo, there are more capable people out there than you can imagine. Before this breakthrough, I was only in the top twenty!"

Feng Wu's eyes lit up. "That's such a huge improvement!"

Grand Secretary Fang said proudly, "Of course it is! I'm more or less on the same level as Northern Feng General now."
