Lord Xue Ying

Within Xue Ying’s residence, there was a pavilion 330 meters tall.

Xue Ying was seated by himself before a long table with a flask of wine he liked placed on it. He currently frowned as he cast his gaze past the railings onto the vast High Mountain City.

‘Of the many penetrative techniques, the Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique has the highest possibility of being used in this world.’ Xue Ying thought.

With guidance from the <Sky-Rending Void Sword Technique> scripture, Xue Ying was able to naturally understand the laws for the Dao of Void in this world at a quicker pace, especially after meditating on it for 2,000 years. Xue Ying’s current attainment in most of his Dao of Void techniques had reached the ‘peak stage God Monarch’ level on average! Even his Chaotic Origin Refined Body had once again been improved to the peak God Monarch level.

Nonetheless, he was still unable to grasp any void penetrative techniques!

‘This world is simply too overbearing. Everything is suppressed by it. Even the void has somehow become solidified, making it practically impossible to teleport.’ Xue Ying shook his head inwardly. If one said that the previous Origin Worlds he was in were like ‘water flow’ where he could easily teleport and penetrate through the waves of water, then the void in this world was like a completely solidified block of ice.

Teleportation? That was simply a dream!

‘The Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique is insufficient too.’ Xue Ying could peer through the essence of the void. As Xue Ying looked through the black fog spherical particles, he discovered that the other end of those holes were filled with terrifying golden lightning.

The violent chaotic golden lightning seemed to destroy everything it touched. When Xue Ying extended his consciousness through the black fog spherical particles, it was easily exterminated the moment he discovered the golden lightning just beyond.

It was too scary.

Since he could not even scout using the Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique, then it would be even less likely to open a path with it.

‘Great Void Movement? The void is solidified to this extent, making it impossible to move through.’

‘Even my Scarlet Cloud Domain could not distort the void at all.’

Xue Ying sighed inwardly.

Teleportation, Great Void Movement, void warp, Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique… all those techniques were inapplicable in this world.

This was also the reason why void penetration could only be executed by a handful of cultivators in the history of Divine Realm despite having so many experts.

‘What they executed should be a technique similar to the ‘Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique.’ Xue Ying guessed.

It was possible to achieve it via the Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique theoretically.

Because this was an apex penetrative technique. Its original purpose was meant to force a thin passage open through the vast Chaotic Origin World so as to move from an Origin World to another!

‘Even though the spatial suppression of this ‘Divine Realm’ is incredibly intense, its suppression is roughly comparable to the suppression in the Chaotic Origin Dimension. Since I could penetrate through the Chaotic Origin Dimension, it should be theoretically possible for me to do so here!’ Xue Ying thought, ‘The only problem is… the original ‘Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique’ made use of many laws and profound mysteries that are inharmonious in this world.’

‘I have to alter the technique.’

‘Using the profound mysteries for the Dao of Void in this world as the foundation, I shall re-create the Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique entirely.’

Xue Ying frowned.

This was not an easy task.

The Dao of Void was a complete law in other Origin Worlds! But it was chaotic and violent in this world, and its laws were incomplete in the first place! Which was why the Ascendants agreed that the ‘Great Dao’ was lacking.

‘Using an incomplete Dao.’

‘It is really challenging for me to recreate the Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique under this condition.’ Xue Ying began concentrating his attention on deducing out the new Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique. After all, he had grasped that technique when he was still a level-two Cosmos God, perfecting the Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique after reaching the final realm––Xue Ying could bring people through the Chaotic Origin Dimension. Currently in this world, Xue Ying was still confident at least in re-creating the simplified version of Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique.

******

At the same time when Xue Ying was deducing the Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Technique, bad news came within the Imperial Wind Clan.

Inside a luxurious palace hall.

Imperial Wind High Mountain sat at the throne. Imperial Wind Lei, Housekeeper Tong, and the three clan elders of Imperial Wind Clan were here too. They were also the core members of the entire Imperial Wind Clan.

“Jin’er sent a message from Eastern Wood City.” Imperial Wind High Mountain looked down and said.

“What did Second Brother say?” Imperial Wind Lei asked. The others felt their hearts tightening. The Divine Realm was huge. After 2,000 years of traveling, Imperial Wind Jin finally brought the team of emissaries and arrived at Eastern Wood City. They spent more than a hundred years in Eastern Wood City sending gifts and improving the relationship they had with various parties. They were even willing to marry Imperial Wind Qing Yin to that Ninth Prince of Eastern Wood City! But all the messages transmitted back were of failures.

“They failed.” Imperial Wind High Mountain voice was calm. But anyone could feel that he was suppressing his indignance and unwillingness amidst this calm veneer.

“Failed?”

“This…”

Everyone present felt their moods sinking.

Even though they had expected it since no good news ever came back before this, knowing the final outcome still made them panicky.

“Have we wasted all of our precious treasures by gifting them away?” A red-robed Imperial Wind Clan Elder could not help but roar angrily.

“Why? Do you think those greedy fellows in Eastern Wind City would ever return them? Hmph hmph, Eastern Wood City.” The eyes of Imperial Wind High Mountain flickered with frost. Sending gifts to various parties and roping them were done so that they could employ the help of others in Eastern Wood City. Nonetheless, everything fell apart in the end. Naturally, they would not be getting back their treasures.

“Master.” Housekeeper Tong frowned, “Why did Second Prince determine firmly that there is no longer hope?”

“Because Jin’er passed back news saying that Old Thief Devil Heart has already become a subordinate of Hidden Willow Valley Master.” Imperial Wind High Mountain answered, “Why would Eastern Wood City offend Hidden Willow Valley Master just because of our High Mountain City?”

Imperial Wind Lei, Housekeeper Tong, and the three Clan Elders were stunned.

Hidden Willow Valley Master?

Hidden Willow Valley…

There were many Chaotic Origin Lifeforms in the Divine Realm. ‘Hidden Willow Valley Master’ was someone that ranked in the top three. His original form was a bizarre and towering tree that was called ‘Hidden Willow’. When he stayed rooted there, even a group of God Emperors can’t injure him! His strength was something even the three Great Royal Clans had to respect.

Most likely only the three legendary Chaotic Origin Ancestral Gods could exterminate this Hidden Willow Valley Master.

‘Hidden Willow Valley Master’ had an incredibly high status.

Even if the master of High Mountain City, Imperial Wind High Mountain took the initiative to join Hidden Willow Valley Master, the other party might feel disdainful of this request!

Due to the huge improvement of Devil Heart Cultist Master’s strength––even getting ranked on the ‘God Emperor Ranking List’ by the Heaven’s Will Clan–––Hidden Willow Valley Master accepted Devil Heart Cultist Master in the end. As Hidden Willow Valley Master was ultimately a tree, he rarely moved. Nonetheless, he was still a terrifying existence ranked ’12th’ on the God Emperor Ranking List.

And all experts ranked top 30 on the God Emperor Ranking List were unfathomably strong.

“Would helping suppress that Devil Heart Cultist Master incur the wrath of that legendary Hidden Willow Valley Master? It is such a small matter!” A Clan Elder could not help but comment about it.

“If there is sufficient enticement, the Eastern Wood City Master might agree.” Imperial Wind High Mountain said indifferently, “But just some ordinary treasures and marrying my daughter to that Ninth Prince… isn’t something that Ninth Prince cares a lot about, muchless the Eastern Wood City Master.”

The Ninth Prince of the Eastern Wood City Master was an old hand at plucking flowers.

Women were simply women…

Even though the Ninth Prince once traveled to the High Mountain City and felt attracted by Imperial Wind Qing Yin, he did not wish to offend Imperial Wind High Mountain and force his way through. That was why the Ninth Prince chose to leave soon after. Clearly, the Ninth Prince did not place a huge importance on the matter of obtaining ‘Imperial Wind Qing Yin’.

“Now that Old Thief Devil Heart has joined Hidden Willow Valley Master, who out there could help us?” Housekeeper Tong mumbled.

“Why not escape! Let us run away from the High Mountain City.” A Clan Elder suggested.

“Escape?” Imperial Wind Lei sneered, “Some of the weaker clan members of my Imperial Wind Clan might survive if they escaped to other cities. But I doubt Old Thief Devil Heart would ever let us go. He would undoubtedly trace us down before killing us one by one.”

…

On that day.

Imperial Wind Qing Yin also received this news.

“Third Sister, there is no longer hope from the side of Eastern Wood City!” Imperial Wind Lei said to his little sister.

Imperial Wind Qing Yin was stunned: “Didn’t Second Brother arrived at the Eastern Wood City some time ago?” Even though she felt unwilling, Imperial Wind Qing Yin would still sacrifice herself for her clan. Without the protection of an expert, the entire Imperial Wind Clan might be wiped out! Even she as part of the direct line of the clan would not survive.
