The 33rd Celestial Court, Celestial Emperor Palace.
Thousands of auspicious clouds surged, and misty immortal Qi floated in the palace. The immortals and demon kings stood on both sides. Ziwei Tian Di sat on the Emperor's Throne, and beside her were Ye Xuan and the Empyrean Fairy.
"A Worthy Younger Brother, are you really leaving?" Ziwei Tian Di asked with a heavy expression.
"That's right. You've become a Heavenly Sage and can control the Three Realms. With you in charge of the Celestial Court, I can rest assured. From now on, I will pursue my own Dharma and Dao, and improve further," Ye Xuan said softly.
Today, everyone from the Celestial Court gathered at the Celestial Emperor Palace. It was also Ye Xuan who was bidding farewell to everyone. He had done what he had to do. With Ziwei in charge of the Celestial Court, he could rest assured. His obsession with improving his cultivation also made Ye Xuan want to leave.
And he was leaving the Celestial Court today because he had something important to do. This matter had been hanging in his heart for a long time, and now he finally had the time to do it.
The immortals tried to persuade him to stay, but the demon kings were reluctant. When Ye Xuan announced that he was leaving, everyone from the Celestial Court tried to persuade him to stay. Unfortunately, they also knew that Ye Xuan had made up his mind. Even if they tried to persuade him to stay, it was useless.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a jade slip quietly appeared beside Ye Xuan. Then, Ye Xuan caught it in his hand.
"Hmm?"
Ye Xuan was slightly stunned. This was his contact with Gu Beichen. He had told Gu Beichen not to use the jade slip unless there was something important.
Ye Xuan sank his consciousness into the jade slip. Suddenly, scenes of Luo Hou and Luo Hou's conversation appeared. He also saw the terrifying power of the God-Slaying Spear in Luo Hou's hand.
At this moment.
The Celestial Court was solemn. No one dared to disturb Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan's expression was slightly cold. After a full ten breaths, he withdrew his consciousness from the jade slip.
"This is getting more and more interesting."
Ye Xuan casually crushed the jade scroll. His lips moved slightly as he transmitted a message to Gu Beichen. Then, he directly looked around at the Celestial Court and said, "Everyone, there's no need to send me off. From now on, Brother Ziwei will be in charge of the Celestial Court. Everything will be under Brother Ziwei's control."
Chi!
Ye Xuan took a step forward and disappeared before everyone's eyes. This made everyone in the Celestial Court sigh. They didn't know when they would be able to see Ye Xuan again after today.
…
Heaven and earth were clear and bright as the clouds flew by.
Ye Xuan strolled in the boundless sky. His expression was neither sad nor happy. There was a lonely aura around him. The scenes that Gu Beichen transmitted to him kept replaying in his mind.
"God-Slaying Spear? Deliberately mystifying? Is he trying to buy time for himself? "
Ye Xuan muttered to himself. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Intimidation. Blatant intimidation. This was Luo Hou's blatant intimidation.
From the jade slip that Gu Beichen sent, Ye Xuan wasn't frightened by Luo Hou. He also heard the other party's words. But to Ye Xuan, this was just a show that Luo Hou was putting on.
Bewitching people's hearts and threatening them with false words.
It could be said that Ye Xuan admired Luo Hou's abilities more and more. Luo Hou's words were both true and false. His goal was to get Gu Beichen to send him a message.
Luo Hou said that he could kill him. Actually, this was a joke. The God-Slaying Spear was indeed terrifying, but it wasn't at the level where it could kill him.
If Luo Hou could really kill Ye Xuan, the two of them wouldn't have to go through so much trouble when they met. They could have just attacked Ye Xuan directly.
Luo Hou didn't take out the God-Slaying Spear in front of Ye Xuan. Instead, he used Gu Beichen to pass it to Ye Xuan. His goal was probably for Ye Xuan to see through his trick.
Deliberately mystifying and mysterious. Luo Hou had always portrayed himself as an unfathomable person. Ye Xuan couldn't see through him.
And the scene he displayed in front of Gu Beichen just so happened to confirm Ye Xuan's guess.
"Luo Hou, oh Luo Hou. You are really too smart for your own good. If you didn't make a move, maybe I would have to be wary of you. But you were too impatient. You took out the God-Slaying Spear to threaten me. This is where you failed the most." Ye Xuan sneered and muttered.
The God-Slaying Spear couldn't be used by Luo Hou!
A simple sentence revealed the truth. It also revealed that Luo Hou was extremely guilty.
The reason was simple. Ye Xuan had the Nirvana Armor and the Heaven Destroying Halberd. The God-Slaying Spear and these two treasures were both items of chaos.
Luo Hou's cultivation was indeed higher than his. But even he, Ye Xuan, couldn't control the Nirvana Armor and the Heaven Destroying Halberd. How could Luo Hou control the God-Slaying Spear?
Besides, if Luo Hou could really control the God-Slaying Spear, he wouldn't have had to endure for so long. He could have used the God-Slaying Spear's power to settle the score with Hong Jun.
So, Luo Hou was deliberately mystifying in order to intimidate Ye Xuan. And he obtained the Boundless Secular Technique to buy time for Ye Xuan. When he could completely cultivate the Boundless Secular Technique, he would attack Ye Xuan immediately.
Sinister, sinister, and crafty. These words fully explained Luo Hou's character.
Unfortunately, there was a saying that went too far was as bad as falling short. Luo Hou wanted to perform perfectly. He wanted to play Ye Xuan in the palm of his hand. But he went too far and exposed a fatal flaw, allowing Ye Xuan to see through his trick.
"If I can use the Tribulation Transcender Technique to devour Luo Hou's cultivation, can I directly enter the Heavenly Dao's Six Tribulations?" Ye Xuan's eyes flickered. His voice was eerie and strange. A bold idea suddenly emerged in his mind.
"He wants to cultivate the Boundless Secular Technique. This Boundless Secular Technique is not inferior to the Undying Immortal Scripture. He has to go through the Nine Tribulations of the Secular World. At this moment, he must pass the first tribulation. If I can take advantage of the time to kill him, maybe I can succeed." Ye Xuan said to himself.
"No!"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan denied this matter.
"I know he has the Nine Tribulations of the Secular World, and he also knows that I have to cross the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao. I am scheming against him, but he will also scheme against me." Ye Xuan whispered. He was not blinded by greed.
Luo Hou's mind was very shrewd. If Ye Xuan could think of something, he would also think of it. Obviously, this matter would not be so easy to succeed. Luo Hou was also on guard against him.
"So, he is deliberately mystifying today to buy time. How should I deal with him?" Ye Xuan fell into deep thought. He was constantly scheming in his mind. After all, Luo Hou's cultivation was higher than his, and he also had the God-Slaying Spear. If the two of them were to clash, he would definitely be the one at a disadvantage.
Ye Xuan walked slowly in the sky, but he still could not think of a way to deal with Luo Hou. This made him temporarily put this matter aside. After all, Luo Hou was by his side. He could only let nature take its course and see what Luo Hou would do next.
The Void Shift was so close, yet so far.
Ye Xuan temporarily put the matter of Luo Hou aside. This was because he had something extremely important to do now. This matter was related to the Candle Dragon and Dijiang.
Ye Xuan had never forgotten one thing. His future self was proficient in the Power of Time and Space. He even went against the flow of time and returned to the present from the future.
And now, he was already at the Fourth Tribulation of the Heavenly Axiom. However, he knew nothing about the Power of Time and Space. Hence, his top priority was to find the Candle Dragon and Dijiang. He had to devour the Gifted Divine Powers of these two Ancestors of Sorcerers. This would also allow him to control the Time and Space talents.
If it was just Luo Hou, he would be a great threat. However, Dijiang and the Candle Dragon were the top priority. Luo Hou could not be compared to these two people at all.
The Power of Time and Space!
These were powers that surpassed the Heavenly Axiom. If he could control these two powers, he could completely reverse time and return to the past to make up for some of the regrets he had experienced.
Furthermore, this was not the most important thing. If he could return to the past, he would definitely be able to find out who Yuan Ling was. He would also be able to understand many of the secrets in the world.
Hence, Dijiang and the Candle Dragon were too important. No one and nothing could compare to this matter.
However, Fatso Huang had been searching for these two people for many years, but he could not find any clues at all. This also made Ye Xuan realize that it would be extremely difficult to find these two people.
However, there was nothing absolute in the world. As long as these two people were still alive, Ye Xuan would find them even if he had to dig three feet into the ground.
Ye Xuan already had some clues to find Dijiang and the Candle Dragon. This clue was from the Sorcerer Tribe, and it was an old acquaintance of his.
Houtu!
Yes, it was Houtu.
Houtu was now a Sage, but she was also one of the 12 Ancestors of Sorcerers. Ye Xuan was very confident in his judgment. If there was anyone who could find Dijiang and the Candle Dragon, it would definitely be Houtu.
Heaven and Earth Shifting, So Near, Yet So Far.
Ye Xuan was heading for the Sorcerer Tribe's Ancestral Land. He had learned from Fatso Huang's report that Houtu had been guarding the Sorcerer Tribe since the Heaven-mending Feast and had not been outside the 33rd Heaven at all.
In the past, Houtu had dared to attack Ye Xuan at the Heaven-mending Feast, which had created a bad karma for him. Whether it was Dijiang, the Candle Dragon, or Houtu who had attacked him, Ye Xuan had to meet this Sage Houtu in person.
