Shangguan Lingxiu's eyes darted around as she asked, "Elder Dong, are your original family members still around?"
"They're long gone …" Dong Qitian sighed.
Shangguan Lingxiu replied, "Oh … In that case, I have a suitable candidate here. Elder Dong, what do you think of Ping Zhanyue? Are they worthy of your discerning eyes?! "
Dong Qitian spat out a mouthful of blood. For a moment, he was dumbfounded and tongue-tied, speechless for a long time.
Dong Qitian almost ran away from Shangguan Lingxiu's words. It was only because he was worried about Yun Yang that he dared not leave. Otherwise, he would have run off to god knows where. He curled up in a corner, not daring to make a sound.
'Why is she trying to find me a wife with just a few words?'
'What the hell is this …'
'Come to think of it … Ping Zhanyue isn't too bad. She's already a saint now, so it's not too much of a disgrace …'
The spiritual Qi storm continued under the Palace of Nine Supremes' Celestial Luck Banner that had evolved into a golden luster.
Yun Yang, the tiny Residence of Nine Supremes, the purple jade flute, and Emmie's Divine Edge continued to absorb the spiritual Qi … Meanwhile, Jiji, who knew that it had caused trouble and could only hide in the main hall, was also swallowing the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth without restraint.
Dongfang Haoran revealed an expression of relief.
"Brothers, it looks like we can relax a little."
Ximen Fafu smiled and said, "After the series of changes, not only has the Holy Lord's combat strength been greatly damaged, even our Dao hearts have been damaged, and our strength has inevitably been greatly reduced. However, with the addition of a new force like the Residence of Nine Supremes, the battle against the demons may not be a sure win, but at least it won't be as difficult as we imagined. The Heavenly Dao is still on our side!"
Beigong Liuli sighed softly and said, "The addition of Yun Yang alone will greatly increase our luck. Perhaps we can wipe out the demonic plague with this battle …"
Mang Jiu chimed in coldly, "Wiping out the Demon Race is not an easy task."
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the Bound of Universe, there were humans, demons, and mystical beasts. The combined combat power of the demon race was the strongest, but because of the human race's talents and the mystical beasts' assistance, they had been able to compete for tens of thousands of years.
If the Demon Race was truly wiped out and the tripartite balance of the three races was gone, the humans would probably shift their focus to the mystical beasts. In the end, there might only be one race left in the world, and in the end, even this race would not survive. This was the foresight of the three races.
It wasn't that Beigong Liuli didn't know this, but in the countless wars between the two races, the humans had always been the weaker side. It was rare for them to have the chance to turn the tables on the demons. That was why she blurted out the words of exterminating the demons!
Dongfang Haoran laughed, "We'll discuss this matter later, later."
His laughter was particularly joyous. "In the past, we discussed more about how to defend, how to stabilize, and how to protect the border between humans and demons … But now, we are discussing whether there is a possibility of exterminating the demon race. Regardless of whether we succeed in the end, it is still a great improvement."
When the four Sovereigns heard this, they all smiled. This was indeed a huge improvement.
Dongfang Haoran looked at Python Nine and said, "Python Nine, you've fought with the Dragon Emperor and Phoenix Emperor. What do you think of them?"
Python Nine snorted and said, "Which one of us hasn't fought them before? Why are you only asking me? "
Beigong Liuli said, "The Phoenix Monarch and the Dragon Monarch have fought a few times, and their performances have fluctuated between strong and weak … At least in my opinion, it's hard to determine their strength. I even suspect that the two of them have already severed their true selves … "
Dongfang Haoran said with a frown, "This is also my concern. If it's a life-and-death battle, I'm not confident that I can withstand the Dragon Monarch. Of course … that's the most pessimistic situation. We have to face the enemy on the battlefield in order to determine which stage he has reached. Everything is evaluated with the worst-case scenario in order to ensure our safety. Even if there's an accident, there's still room to maneuver. "
Ximen Fafu looked in Yun Yang's direction and said faintly, "I've fought with the Falcon Monarch in the past. All of you should know about that battle. After I came back that time, I recuperated for thirty years."
"The battle three thousand years ago is still fresh in my memory … the Falcon Monarch's cultivation base then was already at the pinnacle of Half Saint, half a step away from Saint level. However, according to the information Yun Yang sent back, the strongest combat power that the Demon Race has shown now, including the Phoenix Monarch and Demon Monarch, is only at the level of Half Saint. It doesn't look like they're faking it either. It's strange that they're holding back. "
"Judging from the damage Yun Yang has caused to the Demon Race and the Phoenix Monarch's determination to kill Yun Yang, he definitely didn't hide his strength. At least, his ability back then was only at the pinnacle of Half Saint! But this is impossible, it doesn't make sense! "Dongfang Haoran said in a low voice.
Ximen Fafu said, "I've long suspected that the Dragon Monarch and the Phoenix Monarch might be cultivating a unique cultivation method … a true physical clone, which caused their physical state to be incomplete or even flawed. However, where exactly is their true form? This is a question that needs to be discussed. "
Speaking of the Demon Race's strength, the four rulers all looked worried.
It was said that with the participation of the Residence of Nine Supremes, the Human Race's chances of winning had increased tremendously, but the Demon Race's higher-ups were undoubtedly stronger than the Bound of Universe humans.
For so many years, the two races had been at loggerheads with each other. However, the four rulers, including Python Nine, were gradually unable to bear the burden. Recently, they had personally experienced the unfilial behavior of their successors. They felt sorry for their former comrades and heroes, and found it increasingly difficult to continue. If not for the appearance of powerful reinforcements, which gave everyone a shot in the arm, perhaps the war between the two races would have ended in mutual destruction.
Most of the time, surviving and persevering was the longest torture!
After the spiritual Qi storm in the Palace of Nine Supremes disappeared, the spiritual Qi storm that Yun Yang and the rest had attracted alone lasted for a full day and night before the variation came to an end.
The purple jade flute was the first to finish absorbing the spiritual Qi and vanished without a trace.
Then, the tiny Residence of Nine Supremes vanished without a trace.
After that, Emmie seemed to have reached its limit as well, returning to the deific consciousness space without a breath of life left.
After another hour, the Divine Edge finally stopped absorbing and fell back into Yun Yang's hands.
It was only then that the torment finally came to an end.
The spectators, including Dongfang Haoran, felt waves of exhaustion.
It had lasted for too long.
Even if one's body was fine, one's heart was tired!
…
Seeing Yun Yang walking down from above, full of energy and vigor, Dongfang Haoran could not help but feel an urge to lash out at him.
"You're finally done."
When Ximen Fafu said this, his tone was tinged with emotion.
"Yun Yang thanks the four seniors for protecting me," Yun Yang said sincerely.
"There's no need to protect me. We only asked to disperse the crowd, but this is necessary." Dongfang Haoran's face was dark as he said, "Everyone has their own secrets and trump cards. Yun Yang, you've used your trump card this time. Although it's a good opportunity to absorb spiritual Qi and increase the strength of your trump card, it's still a little unwise. The advantages may not outweigh the disadvantages!"
How could Yun Yang not know the advantages and disadvantages? He was a little annoyed about it as well. He chuckled bitterly and said, "When the spiritual Qi storm started, everyone was focused on their own matters. Who would pay attention to anything else? I thought it was fine since the battle was imminent. If I could increase my ability, I'd have a higher chance of winning. I didn't expect that after the spiritual Qi storm had ended, these fellows were still absorbing spiritual Qi, causing the situation to go out of control …"
Yun Yang was also helpless about this. He did not expect the situation to change so drastically.
Dongfang Haoran was speechless as well.
They had only realized it after the spiritual Qi storm had ended. If the spiritual Qi storm had ended, Emmie and the rest would have stopped as well. Even Dongfang Haoran and the others would not have noticed it.
"Alright, there's no need to mention this anymore." Dongfang Haoran said, "We've covered it up for you … Other than the four of us, no one else has seen it."
"That's great." Yun Yang nodded and thanked them again.
Actually, with Yun Yang's current cultivation base and ability, these trump cards might not be of much use. After all, Yun Yang had already reached the pinnacle of Half-saint pinnacle and was only a step away from entering the level of a Saint.
With this cultivation base, Yun Yang had nothing to worry about in the entire Bound of Universe, other than a very limited few people.
As long as he had the purple jade flute, Yun Yang felt that he could even go all out against a Saint. He might be able to handle it.
Besides, had his trump cards really been exposed?
Not necessarily!
Even if someone saw them, it would be hard for them to know what they were for.
This made the opportunity to strengthen these trump cards even more difficult to come by. While the pros and cons were mixed, Yun Yang was leaning towards the side where the pros outweighed the cons.
In spite of this, the thing that delighted Yun Yang the most was that his spiritual Qi, sealed by the Demon Race's Sky-Sealing Skill, was gradually breaking through the seal. As long as he channeled all his cultivation base and focused it on his face, a certain degree of recovery could be achieved …
However, the seal was far from breaking, so the time Yun Yang could see his face every day was only four hours at most.
In spite of this, it was already a huge improvement. The hardest part of breaking a seal was to have no progress at all. Once there was a flaw in the seal, it could be expanded bit by bit. With time and effort, the seal would naturally be broken completely. It was only a matter of time before he returned to being a pretty boy again!
As long as the seal was broken, his manifestation powers that he had not used for a long time could be restored. He could go anywhere in the world.
Besides, when he returned to being a pretty boy, Ji Lingxi could not, but Shangguan Lingxiu could …
"Heh heh heh …" Yun Yang could not help but chuckle wretchedly as he thought about it.
The four rulers gave him a sidelong glance in disdain.
"The rest of the Temple of Nine Supremes can go cultivate now. We have something to discuss with Lord Supreme Cloud."
…
Ji Lingxi and Shangguan Lingxiu were relieved to see that Yun Yang had woken up. They nodded and left while they did need to consolidate their skyrocketing abilities.
There was a huge difference between having a body that could withstand the current power and being able to merge with the power and move freely like one's own arm!
"Let's go to the study."
…
"Half a month ago, the three of us received news that the Demon Race has begun to descend into chaos." Dongfang Haoran looked at Yun Yang. "However, it was a crucial moment for the Temple of Nine Supremes, so we didn't want to distract you, so …"
"What chaos?" Yun Yang asked straightforwardly.
"The Fox Emperor and the Cat Emperor worked together and killed their way into the former palace of the Nine-lives Cat Clan. They retrieved the Nine-lives Cat's Immovable Soul from a secret place and recovered their peak combat power."
"The Dragon Emperor was enraged and declared the two Sovereigns to be the Demon Race's traitors and ordered the Demon Race to capture them."
"The Fox Emperor and the Cat Emperor worked together and fought their way out. They met up with the army that had been lying in ambush and returned to the territory safely. However, the Demon Race's war of rebellion erupted!"
Dongfang Haoran's expression was somber. "Now, the Nine-lives Cat Clan and the Fox Emperor's clan are trapped in the Fox Emperor's territory by the Demon Race's army of rebellion suppression. Although this is the old nest of the Fox Clan that has been here for countless years and has a strong foundation, the Demon Race's army is coming in endlessly. The prospect of their safety is not optimistic."
Ximen Fanfu sighed. "I think that if they didn't have other plans, the Fox Emperor and the Cat Emperor's timing is too early and too hasty …"
Yun Yang vaguely felt that something was amiss and said with a frown, "Even if the Cat Emperor is eager for revenge and is even eager to recover his peak combat power, the Fox Emperor has always been farsighted and farsighted. Why would he make such an unwise decision so hastily? I'm afraid there's more to this than meets the eye. "
"I think so too." Dongfang Haoran said, "Therefore, we need you to contact the Fox Emperor and see if you can contact him. After confirming the current situation, we can wait for an opportunity to act."
"Me?" Yun Yang pointed at his own nose, looking surprised. "Me and the Fox Emperor? How? "
"Supreme Cloud, there's no need to pretend. The Fox Emperor's blood jade pendant is the best medium of communication."
Dongfang Haoran said faintly, "Isn't that jade pendant in your hands? The Emperor's jade pendant must contain the emperor's blood. The Fox Emperor handing the Emperor's Blood Jade Pendant to you was a ploy, but he didn't take it back. He had the intention of long-distance communication. The Emperor's Blood Jade Pendant contains the Fox Emperor's spiritual imprint. Isn't it your method of communication?"
Dongfang Haoran did not know that if he had not mentioned it, Yun Yang would never have thought that it would be such a secret. Now that he heard it, he was a little dazed. Was there such a thing?
Was there really such a thing?
Yun Yang took out the Fox Emperor's jade pendant and injected his spiritual energy into it according to Dongfang Haoran's instructions, waiting for the changes. Not long after, the jade pendant glowed brightly.
As time went on, the purplish ring of light from the pendant grew larger and larger, gradually forming a door.
The Fox Emperor wore a crown on his head and an imperial robe on his body, exuding the aura of a sovereign. He appeared in the door with an amiable smile and guffawed. "Third brother, you must be a hero returning to the Bound of Universe with boundless glory. Why do you have the time to chat with me? Are you trying to kill me?"
