The Void Battlefield was a mess at the moment. Due to the influx of Xuan Sea water and the terrifying world-destroying sharpness of the Sky-crushing Sword, the entire Empty Sea was stirred up by endless Void Storms that wreaked havoc.
On the Jade Capital Mountain, Xuan Li returned to the Dark Heaven Time Light Grotto-Heaven. Her expression remained unchanged, and she stood behind Lin Feng without saying a word.
Lin Feng sat with his legs crossed and leaned against the small Dark Heaven Treasure Tree in the grotto-heaven. He closed his eyes and said to Zhu Yi's Hao Yang clone, "You guys handle the rest."
Hao Yang's clone's face was pale, and his spirit was shaken. The image of the devastating sword light kept circling in his mind.
He calmed himself down and bowed to Lin Feng. "Yes, Master. I understand."
In the Void Battlefield, Zhu Yi controlled the Paramita Bridge and tried his best to stabilize himself in the chaotic void.
On the other side, Shi Tianhao, who was being suppressed by Ding of Shenzhou and Sky City, also stabilized himself. At the same time, he had to take care of Shi Zongmao, the King of the Great Qin Dynasty.
The waves in the Void Battlefield were too shocking. They had not been like this for many years. The scale and power were far greater than before. Even Shi Zongmao, who was at the Dao Integration Stage, had to be careful.
Without Shi Tianhao's help, even if he could protect himself, he would be swept away by the void turbulence.
On the other side, Shi Xingyun did not try to stabilize herself. Instead, she went with the flow and allowed the void turbulence to engulf her. She only paid attention to protecting herself.
She smiled and looked at Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, and Shi Zongmao. "Was that Sect Leader Lin's technique? Sect Leader Lin's cultivation base is astonishing. It's amazing. "
Zhu Yi's reply was neither humble nor arrogant. He said, "My master's technique is not something I can describe."
Shi Zongmao looked at Shi Xingyun with a complicated expression. "Xingyun, where do you want to go next?"
Shi Xingyun replied, "No matter how big the world is, there will always be a place for me to hide. The Dragon Race is a huge threat, but I've completely removed the mark left behind by the Kun Dragon King after my rebirth. If I keep a low profile, the Dragon Race won't be able to find me. You don't have to worry, Imperial Granduncle Gunyang."
"Consider this old man's previous proposal." Shi Zongmao sighed. "Or we can go back to West-Hill City first. You can take your time to think about it."
With Shi Xingyun's current strength, even if she were to return to West-Hill City, as long as she wanted to leave, the Qin Dynasty would not be able to stop her.
Hearing this, Shi Xingyun smiled, "Once my condition has stabilized, I'll look for an opportunity to return to see my mother, my brother, and Jing Yun."
Her mother was a concubine of Stonefeather. Although she was only in the Golden Elixir Period, she had lived for a thousand years and was still alive.
The brother Shi Xingyun was referring to was none other than the Crown Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, Shi Chongyun.
Although Shi Jingyun was born to another concubine of Stonefeather, Shi Xingyun had practically watched her grow up. The two sisters were very close.
Hearing that Shi Xingyun did not mention him, Shi Zongtang, or the other members of the imperial family, Shi Zongmao could not help but smile bitterly. He said, "West-Hill City will naturally welcome you back at any time."
"Imperial Granduncle Gunyang, you don't have to worry." Shi Xingyun said, "Just now, you tried to stop me from waking up and wanted to keep the Immortal Dragon City. I can understand that. After all, I don't know what I'm thinking, and I might even hate you. It's more beneficial for the Great Qin Dynasty to take back the Immortal Dragon City safely."
Hearing this, the complicated look in Shi Zongmao's eyes became even more intense.
Shi Xingyun continued, "I can understand that, and I won't hold it against you. However, I won't be returning to the Great Qin Dynasty. Please understand, Imperial Granduncle Gunyang, and help me convey this to His Majesty."
Hearing this, Shi Zongmao knew that Shi Xingyun had already made up her mind. At least, she would not change her mind in the short term. As such, he could only keep quiet and sigh helplessly.
For the current Divine Land, the Ancient Dynasty had Gu Jun, an Initial Tribulation Stage powerhouse, and the Longevity Lotus Throne, a creation artifact. The power of the Ancient Dynasty alone was superior to the combined forces of Great Zhou, Great Qin, and the Northern Militant.
With the Taixu Temple and the Mount Shu Sword Sect sealed their mountains, and Xuanmen Tianzong had no intention of directly interfering, it would be a lie to say that the Great Qin Dynasty did not feel pressured by the Ancient Dynasty.
If they could take back the Immortal Dragon City, the Great Qin Dynasty would at least have nothing to worry about when facing the Ancient Dynasty. All the pressure would be shifted to Great Zhou and the Northern Militant.
Now that there was no hope of taking back the Immortal Dragon City, they could only hope that Shi Xingyun herself would return.
Shi Zongmao was not making empty promises. Shi Xingyun was currently the most powerful person in the Great Qin Dynasty. If she returned, even if she really became the empress, the entire Great Qin Dynasty would accept her.
The only person who might have some thoughts would be the new Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, Shi Zongtang. However, with the current external environment and the immense pressure, it was more likely that Shi Zongtang would step down.
The succession of the empress in the cultivation world was more or less different from that in the secular world.
Of course, a Confucian scholar like Zhu Hongwu would never accept a woman taking over the throne. Even if the empress was more powerful, he would still oppose it.
However, for the Great Qin Dynasty, as long as Shi Xingyun was willing to return, they were willing to accept her ascension to the throne.
After failing to stop Shi Xingyun from awakening, Shi Zongmao almost instantly thought through the problem and communicated with Shi Xingyun, showing the greatest sincerity of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Purely from the perspective of gains and losses, returning to the Great Qin Dynasty was an excellent choice for Shi Xingyun. The Great Qin Dynasty was like a centipede that died but did not fall down. Even though its vitality was greatly damaged, its foundation was still there. It had all sorts of resources. If it could rest in peace and withstand the current pressure, it could still achieve great things in the future.
The abundant resources were also beneficial for Shi Xingyun's personal cultivation, and she could further increase her strength.
If she became the ruler of a country, she would be able to allocate these resources with greater ease.
However, what made Shi Zongmao sigh was that Shi Xingyun was still unwilling to return to the Great Qin Dynasty.
Most importantly, Shi Zongmao could tell that Shi Xingyun was not putting on airs to ask for more benefits. Instead, he did not want to do so. This made Shi Zongmao feel even more discouraged.
He was not afraid of demanding an exorbitant price, but he was afraid that he would not even have the mood to negotiate. He was not afraid of Shi Xingyun's harsh conditions, but Shi Xingyun did not want to negotiate at all.
At this moment, Shi Zongmao could only think about having a serious discussion with Shi Xingyun's mother, his brother Shi Chongyun, and Shi Jingyun after returning to West-Hill City. He would then try to communicate with Shi Xingyun when he returned to West-Hill City to visit his family.
Moreover, he needed to have a serious discussion with the current Great Qin Emperor Shi Zongtang.
Shi Zongmao, who had come to the Battlefield of the Outer Dimension with high spirits but returned in disappointment, could only comfort himself with a bitter smile, "At least the Dragon Tribe has suffered a heavy blow. The pressure from the Monster Tribe has been reduced once again. I don't have to think about it for the time being."
Shi Xingyun's Divine Soul sat cross-legged on the giant dragon's head. The giant dragon's body gradually disappeared into the void turbulence. She smiled and cupped her hands at Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao, "Thanks to your protection today, I was able to escape from the claws of the Kun Dragon King and the Shen Dragon King. Farewell, I hope we will meet again."
"I will personally visit the Kunlun Mountain Range to express my gratitude to Faction Leader Lin. I hope we can meet again then."
Zhu Yi said, "You're too kind, Brother Xingyun. We welcome you at any time."
Shi Tianhao smiled and said, "The most suitable place for you to cultivate is the Desolate Ancient Star Ocean."
Shi Xingyun smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare to dream of that. Please send my regards to your master, Senior Lin. We will meet again."
As he spoke, Shi Xingyun's Divine Soul, along with his dragon body, disappeared into the turbulence of the void. They instantly passed through the layers of the void and disappeared without a trace.
Zhu Yi turned to look at Shi Zongmao and said, "King Gunyang, please forgive us. It's not convenient for us to intervene in this matter."
Shi Zongmao nodded with a bitter smile and said, "Of course." He sighed and could not calm down for a long time.
When the void turbulence finally calmed down, Shi Zongmao said goodbye to Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao and quickly returned to the Divine Land of the Boundless World.
Although he had returned empty-handed, there was still hope. For the Great Qin Dynasty, the high-level cultivators needed to carefully plan how to develop the Great Qin Dynasty in the future.
Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao were not in a hurry to leave. Shi Tianhao's Ying Yuan and the Desolate God sat cross-legged in the void again. Silently, they recuperated and stabilized their cultivation base.
He had just successfully refined his Spirit to revert to the void, and he had immediately thrown himself into the battle with the Kunlong King. Now, he needed to stabilize his foundation and also organize the rewards he had gained from the battle.
In this way, his cultivation would be smoother and he would gain more rewards.
Zhu Yi stood Silently on the Paramita Golden Bridge to protect his Junior Brother. He looked at the battlefield in the void in front of him with rays of light swirling in his eyes.
He had already retracted his Void Restoration physique. However, a Yi Dao Talisman appeared in his eyes again.
Silently, the Yi Dao Talisman suddenly shot out a few golden rays of light. The rays of light streaked across the dark void in front of him and formed a light shadow.
The light shadow looked disjointed and incomplete. It looked very simple and crude. However, one could vaguely tell that it was a majestic and mighty True Dragon.
Zhu Yi's eyes flickered slightly. "The concept of the power of the Primordial Celestial Dragon is indeed profound. However, it is getting clearer and clearer."
He stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the golden dragon light shadow in front of him carefully. After a while, he shook his head slightly and the light shadow dissipated. He turned to look at Shi Tianhao.
Above the head of Shi Tianhao's Desolate God, twelve light shadows were constantly changing between the twelve Heavenly Generals' spiritual bodies and the twelve Golden Men. On the head of his Ying Yuan Body, there was an indescribably profound light tower that was constantly changing between the tower and the majestic city in the sky.
Abstruse concepts flowed out from Shi Tianhao's body. Desolation and Creation, Chaos and Creation. Between the changes, there was a mutual connection between them.
After a while, Shi Tianhao's Desolate God and Ying Yuan Body opened their eyes at the same time. Then, they stood up and took a step forward together.
The two of them stood side by side and both of them were walking forward. They were supposed to be absolutely parallel to each other and there was no possibility of them crossing each other. However, with this step, Shi Tianhao's Desolate God and Ying Yuan merged into one.
Even the city in the sky above his head and the twelve Heavenly Generals' spiritual bodies merged again, turning into a majestic city surrounded by layers of light shadows.
