Chapter 3922: Chapter 3922: Heavenly Phoenix Blood (Part 1)
Within the Moon Soul Domain, on an Immortal Island shrouded by overseas clouds and mist, there stood a pavilion carved from White Jade. This Immortal Island was absent from the map of the Moon Soul Domain; indeed, most inhabitants of the Moon Soul Domain were unaware of its existence, including sect masters of many first-class forces!
This maritime area, also a secret realm within the Moon Soul Domain, was known as the Chenyue Sea. The concentration of spiritual energy here far surpassed that of all major spiritual roots throughout the Moon Soul Domain!
And within the Immortal Island was the Jade Pavilion, named the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion.
The Heavenly Imperial Pavilion was not a force of the Moon Soul Domain; in fact, it originated from the Heavenly Human Domain.
In the secret chamber on the top floor of the pavilion, a middle-aged man in a cloud-patterned Daoist robe sat cross-legged on the ground, cultivating some kind of cultivation method. Dao Integration suffused around him, nomological power fluctuated, and his aura was extremely terrifying! It seemed to have reached the middle-stage Qiankun Realm!
At that moment, there was a knock on the door outside the room.
The man opened his eyes and said, "Come in."
A handsome young boy entered the room, respectfully saluting, "Greetings, god from the heavens."
The middle-aged man asked, "What is it?"
The young boy handed a jade scroll to the existence addressed as a god from the heavens, then withdrew from the room.
The man placed the jade scroll against his forehead. After a moment, a glint flashed in his eyes as he murmured, "The Star Moon Palace has been taken? And the realm of this person is the Holy Ancestor Realm, yet their strength seems to have reached Qiankun level? They’ve subdued all the first-class forces in the Moon Soul Domain? And is the chief disciple of the now fallen Six Paths Sect from ancient times? This is rather interesting, yet these matters shouldn’t require the intervention of the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion, should they?"
He continued to browse through the information on the jade scroll, suddenly his expression changed, and he abruptly stood up!
Joy appeared in the eyes of the middle-aged Daoist as he said, "I instructed someone to watch for individuals possessing the Purple Phoenix Bloodline in the Dark Domain, and now there is finally news? Hahaha! It was worth my effort as the Jidu Divine Sovereign in guarding the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion in the Moon Soul Domain for tens of thousands of years!"
In the next moment, his figure moved, disappearing from the pavilion, transforming into a beam of white light, flying away from the Chenyue Sea!
...
With everything settled, Jin Shuhui temporarily returned to the Star Swirl Domain, and together with Lan Ying summoned back the disciples from the Refining God Peak. Su Wu and Su Yunyan were also handling the matter of merging the two sects.
At this moment, Ye Chen, who was consolidating his realm, suddenly opened his eyes. His figure moved, arriving outside the palace, where he saw a young girl in a purple robe holding a skewer of roasted snakes, standing there.
It was Xiao Rou.
Xiao Rou saw Ye Chen appear and spoke, "Ye Shitian, no... should I call you Ye Chen? Have you finished your business? Will you now return to the Dark Domain with me?"
Ye Chen smiled faintly, it seems that after the commotion at the wedding, Xiao Rou had learned his true identity.
Ye Chen turned his wrist, revealing a dark-colored jade talisman and said, "I need to stay here for a while longer; if there are any tasks, Gu Mansion Master will contact me through this jade talisman. Your identity in the Bright Territory is not safe for long; if you have nothing to do, you can return first, and I will go to the Dark Domain myself after a while."
Ye Chen intended to stay until the two sects completed their merger before leaving, to ensure that no unforeseen circumstances occurred.
Xiao Rou nodded slightly; she was born in the Dark Domain. It is said that during the ancient era when the Bright Territory and Dark Domain established a ceasefire agreement, a force named Heavenly Imperial Pavilion placed an extremely magical Primordial Origin Artifact (an item that surpassed Emperor Artifacts) in the Dark Domain. This Primordial Origin Artifact could record the aura of all those born in the Dark Domain who reached the Qiankun Realm, and if these individuals entered the Bright Territory, they would attract the attention of the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion.
That is also one of the reasons why the Dark Domain sought agents below the Qiankun Realm to operate in the Bright Territory.
However, Xiao Rou was not too concerned about it. The attention of the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion was mainly focused on the Yangzhen Domain, wary of those super Qiankun Realm powerhouses; for someone like her in the Qiankun Realm, generally, as long as she didn’t stay too long in the Moon Soul Domain, there wouldn’t be much trouble.
Moreover, she possessed the Purple Phoenix Bloodline; if she truly got targeted by the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion, escaping wouldn’t be difficult.
In the next moment, Xiao Rou’s figure moved, transforming into purple light, breaking through the air and departing!
Xiao Rou’s speed was incredibly fast, leaving Xuantian City almost instantly and in no time, arriving at the border between the Star Swirl Domain and the Moon Soul Domain.
With her Qiankun Realm strength, she naturally didn’t need to rely on the teleportation array of the Star Moon Palace to cross this border; as purple light intensified around her, she directly entered the void.
However, Xiao Rou didn’t know that just half an hour after she left, a beam of white light appeared here!
The white light condensed, forming a middle-aged man in a cloud-patterned Daoist robe, none other than the Jidu Divine Sovereign.
In his hand was a geomancy compass, and he murmured, "It seems that person just entered the Star Swirl Domain from here..."
With those words, white brilliance surged around him, and he also entered the void.
With a flash of purple light, it came to a halt above a certain wilderness in the Star Swirl Domain, and suddenly, that purple light froze, transforming into a purple-robed maiden, who expressionlessly gazed a short distance ahead.
The next moment, as waves stirred in the void, a middle-aged man in a cloud-patterned Daoist robe appeared in front of Xiao Rou, none other than the Jidu Divine Sovereign!
Xiao Rou glanced at the geomancy compass in the hand of the Jidu Divine Sovereign, her heart tight, and she coldly said, "Are you chasing me?"
The Jidu Divine Sovereign smiled and replied, "I am the Jidu Divine Sovereign of the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion. As a Qiankun Realm existence from the Dark Domain, you have recklessly entered the Bright Territory, thus violating the ceasefire agreement. I have the duty to bring you back to the pavilion for judgment; come with me."
Xiao Rou’s face turned a little grim...
Could it be that she was so unlucky, having run an errand for Ye Chen, and got targeted by the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion?
The most crucial part was, this person seems to have located her via the geomancy compass...
Although she had not fully exerted her speed earlier, it was roughly seventy percent of her full power, and yet, she was caught up by this person?
In other words, the escape speed of the Jidu Divine Sovereign was not beneath hers!
Moreover, he was a late-stage or even a peak-level Qiankun existence!
With Xiao Rou’s strength, she was not able to deal with this person at all!
On Xiao Rou’s fair face, a drop of sweat slid by, this situation was unfavorable...
Seeing that Xiao Rou remained silent for a long time, the Jidu Divine Sovereign said coldly, "If you are unwilling, then I must personally invite you..."
He gazed at Xiao Rou, a trace of extreme greed appearing in his eyes; years ago, a Purple Phoenix endowed with part of the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline entered the Outer Realm, sparking a tremendous wave of competition over the Heavenly Phoenix Blood throughout the entire Outer Realm.
