In the next moment, with a slight movement, the empress appeared before princess Tai 'an as if she had teleported. Before princess Tai' an could react, she snatched the jade pendant from princess Tai 'an's hand and studied it carefully.
Even though the jade pendant was made from an extremely ordinary material, the exquisite patterns engraved on it made the empress' cold heart beat violently.
In particular, when the empress saw the two words' Xi Yu 'on the jade pendant, her hand could not help but tremble violently.
She was extremely familiar with the jade pendant. As a matter of fact, the appearance of the jade pendant, the exquisite patterns, and the two words engraved on it had already become an imprint. It had been deeply imprinted into the depths of her soul, making it unforgettable.
This was because when she and Xi Ziyun were hunted down by their enemies and abandoned their daughter out of helplessness, they had left a jade pendant like this on their daughter as proof of her identity.
Even though the jade pendant was not made from the same material as the one they had left behind, everything else was the same as the jade pendant they had left for their daughter.
"Xian 'er, this jade pendant … this jade pendant … where did you obtain this jade pendant from?" The Empress' eyes were glistening with tears. Her trembling voice was filled with urgency, mixed with excitement that anyone could hear.
At that moment, the empress' calm heart seemed to become an erupting volcano. Her emotions fluctuated violently, making it difficult for her to remain calm.
Over the past few years, she and Emperor Xi had been worried sick. They basically thought about their daughter at all times. They had even sent people to secretly search for her for two thousand years, but there was still no news at all. As time went on, their missing daughter had basically become a sore point for them. It was an eternal pain in their hearts.
This was because they had failed to find any clues in two thousand years. In this cruel world where the strong reigned supreme, they had no idea whether their daughter was still alive or not.
However, now that the empress, who had already felt some despair, suddenly saw the jade pendant she had left for her daughter, the flames of hope ignited in her heart once more.
Her daughter, who had been missing for two thousand years, suddenly had a clue. This huge surprise made the Empress extremely excited.
Princess Tai 'an stared at her aunt in a daze. She was completely bewildered. She was rather confused. She really could not understand. Wasn't it just an ordinary piece of jade? Why would her usually cold aunt react so intensely?
As for Bing 'er, she was even more dumbfounded. She stared blankly at the Empress, and her mischievous little face was filled with shock.
At this moment, she even suspected that the Celestial Empress she saw was an imposter.
This was because in her memories, the empress had always been cold and proud, keeping everyone at a distance. She would always be cold to everyone. Only when she saw big sister Great An would she show kindness.
But now, she actually saw tears in the Empress' eyes. She saw excitement on the Empress' face. This was an unbelievable thing in Bing 'er's opinion.
Even though princess Tai 'an was very confused, she still asked, "Aunt, do you remember when I said there was a supreme Overgod called Jianchen? In the past, the supreme Overgod gave Xian 'er an embroidered box and told Xian' er to personally hand it to aunt or uncle. This jade pendant was the only item in the embroidered box. "
"What? The thing in the brocade box was actually this jade pendant? "The Empress's face was filled with regret. She naturally remembered the brocade box clearly.
Back then, she did not care about an item given to her by an Overgod. However, she had never thought that the item in there would be clues to her daughter who had been missing for two thousand years.
"No, I have to tell Ziyun about something so important." The Empress completely vanished, leaving princess Tai 'an and Bing' er standing in the garden in confusion.
In the Xi dynasty, Emperor Xi sat on the throne in his nine dragons robes and presided over the affairs of state within a majestic discussion hall. Below him, officials stood in an orderly fashion. All of them were respectful.
"Ziyun, Ziyun …" At this moment, the Empress' voice rang out. She held the jade pendant in her hand as she flew over as a blur, attracting the attention of all the officials.
"Xuan 'er, why are you in such a hurry?" Emperor Xi sat on the throne and looked at the Empress. He was very confused.
"Ziyun, look," the Empress arrived before Emperor Xi and directly passed the jade pendant to Emperor Xi.
When the Xi Emperor saw the jade pendant, his eyes suddenly narrowed. He stood up from his throne out of reflex as an extremely terrifying presence radiated from his body uncontrollably. Like a surging wave, it wreaked havoc in the entire discussion hall, forcing all the officials back.
"Where did this jade pendant come from?" Emperor Xi asked. His voice trembled with excitement.
As the mighty emperor of the Xi Empire, he struggled to control his emotions at this moment.
The Empress explained the origins of the jade pendant in a few words.
"Let's go see Xian 'er." After learning the origins of the jade pendant, Emperor Xi was even more anxious than the Empress. He did not even bother with the affairs of state. He directly vanished from the discussion hall with the Empress, leaving behind all the officials looking at each other.
Princess Tai 'an and Bing' er remained where they were in the imperial garden. Clearly, the two of them had yet to recover from their shock.
At this moment, there was a flash, and the dignified Emperor Xi and the Empress appeared beside princess Tai 'an like they had teleported.
"Xian 'er, where is Jianchen who left behind this jade pendant right now?" Emperor Xi directly asked. His voice was filled with urgency.
"Ah, uncle!" Only now did princess Tai 'an return to her senses. She was stunned when she saw Emperor Xi suddenly appear before her, but she returned to her senses very quickly. She said, "Aunt, uncle, when Jianchen gave this jade pendant to Xian' er, he was still in the Xuandao Dynasty. Xian 'er cannot be certain whether he's still there or not."
"Let's go to the Xuandao Dynasty!" Emperor Xi was a decisive person. He immediately left the Xi dynasty with princess Tai 'an and the Empress, directly making his way to the Xuandao Dynasty.
Since Emperor Xi was travelling, he naturally would not be too shabby. As a result, two subjects of the imperial family who were also at the Primordial realm accompanied him.
After learning about his daughter's whereabouts, the Xi Emperor was clearly in a panic. He went as far as to personally take action, using his supreme cultivation as a Chaotic Prime to take everyone on the journey. A world with a single thought, and an illusion with a single step. In just five or six steps, he crossed a huge distance, directly arriving above the imperial capital of the Xuandao Empire from the Xi Empire.
Emperor Xi's personal arrival shook up the entire Xuandao Dynasty. All the Primordial realm experts in the Xuandao Dynasty emerged from seclusion and welcomed him politely.
Aside from Tian Shuang, there were two other ruddy old men among the Primordial realm experts of the Xuandao Dynasty. They bowed towards Emperor Xi as they felt uneasy inside.
In the past few years, Emperor Xi had made a name for himself through slaughter. As a result, the three Primordial realm experts of the Xuandao Dynasty were rather uneasy with Emperor Xi's arrival. They all thought back to whether they had participated in the hunt for Emperor Xi in the past.
"Is Jianchen in your Xuandao Dynasty?"
However, to the surprise of the three Primordial realm experts, Emperor Xi asked about a person called Jianchen as soon as he arrived.
The two ruddy old men among the three Primordial realm experts of the Xuandao Empire became doubtful when they heard that name.
A gleam of light flashed through Tian Shuang's eyes. She said after some thought, "Emperor Xi, Jianchen has already left our Xuandao Dynasty. If I've guessed correctly, he should be in a place called the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian in the southern region."
"The southern region, the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian …" Emperor Xi murmured before clasping his hands at Tian Shuang to express his gratitude. He immediately hurried off to the southern region with everyone.
Emperor Xi did not take a planar teleportation formation. With his cultivation as a Chaotic Prime, he moved even faster than teleportation formations on the Cloud Plane.
.....
A few figures flew through the air with lightning speed in the Dong 'an province of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. They directly entered the province and stopped above the Tianyuan family in the end.
The person at the front seemed to be in his forties. He wore purplish-golden robes and possessed a rather dignified bearing. He looked down at the Tianyuan family coldly from above.
The middle-aged man was the ninth prince of the eternal Blood Sun Empire.
He directly found the Tianyuan family through the information provided by the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect.
"Ninth prince, the Tianyuan family is only a small clan. Is the theft of the Flower of Ways really related to them?" A Divine King behind the ninth prince asked carefully.
The ninth prince hovered in the air as he stared at the Tianyuan family below emotionlessly. He said, "The person from the Earth Spirit sect told me through an anonymous jade slip that several decades ago, Jianchen assisted the soul of a Primordial realm expert in the Divine King Duanmu's dwelling. She obtained some items left behind by Duanmu and used them to recover her body. At that time, the Primordial realm expert who had just recovered her body was only an Overgod."
"However, recently, Jianchen was targeted by the commander of the ninth army of the Heavenly Demon Religion, Yaxi Lian. In the end, he was saved by a Primordial realm expert, and even Yaxi Lian was captured. It's extremely likely that this Primordial realm expert was the one who obtained some items from the Divine King Duanmu and recovered her body with Jianchen's assistance. "
The ninth prince stood with his arms behind his back and said slowly, "Even if she was a Primordial realm expert when she was still alive, it's impossible for her to recover so quickly unless she possesses extremely precious heavenly resources."
"The Flower of Ways just happens to be one of those extremely precious heavenly resources. As a result, I'm basically certain that the person who stole the Flower of Ways is the Primordial realm expert behind Jianchen. "
As he spoke, the Ninth Prince's face darkened. His eyes were filled with killing intent. He had already realised that the Flower of Ways had probably been devoured already, but he had to avenge it.
Without the Flower of Ways, the time it would take for him to reach the Primordial realm would be extended indefinitely. Even with his extraordinary talent, breaking through the bottleneck between Godhood and the Primordial realm would be anything but easy.
The more the ninth prince thought about it, the more furious he became. In the end, it turned into surging killing intent, and he directly threw a punch at the Tianyuan family below.
Boom!
With a great sound that shook up the entire province, the Divine King level formation that protected the Tianyuan family directly collapsed from the ninth prince's punch.
