Emperor Xia's City was now the true core of the Xia people's rule.
Hua.
Dongbo Xue Ying appeared in the air above Emperor Xia's City, looking down at the new city, which was even more majestic than the Xia capital. In the past, they had retreated to the Infernal Realm time and time again, which was why the Xia capital had become the core of the Xia people. Now that Dongbo Xue Ying was a Lord of a material plane, the headquarters of a race naturally could not be hidden in a Transcendent Realm forever.
"Chao Qing." Dongbo Xue Ying took a step forward, arriving outside a simple and unadorned palace. Outside the door was the bald, skinny old man, Chao Qing.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry. There's something important," Chao Qing said hurriedly. "Violet Thunder is looking for us."
According to the customs of the Xia people, after becoming a God, they would all treat each other as equals. After all, there was a difference in age between each generation of Deities. For a group of Xia people to treat each other as their seniors … everyone would feel that this was too pretentious. Since they had all become Gods, they should treat each other as equals.
"Oh?" Dongbo Xue Ying did not dare to tarry, and immediately entered with Chao Qing.
Within this simple and unadorned palace hall, there were many statues. These statues were the ancestors of the Xia Clan who had become Deities. These statues had originally been placed in the Infernal Realm, but now they had all been moved here.
One of them was a statue of an amiable old man, the Violet Thunder Emperor. Its mouth moved. "Dongbo."
"What is it, Violet Thunder?" Dongbo Xue Ying said.
"This time, I have something to trouble you with," Violet Thunder said. "I just found out about this, and I really can't think of any other way. That's why I came to ask for your help."
"If there's anything you need, just say it. Don't say anything, "Dongbo Xue Ying said hurriedly. These ancestors of the Xia people had all made great contributions to the Xia people. After becoming Gods, they had always cared about the Xia people. If he could help them, Dongbo Xue Ying would be very happy.
"It's like this," Violet Thunder said. "Recently, I tried to contact brother Yunhai, but I couldn't. Later, I sent someone to investigate … only then did I find out that the Sky Sword Sect that brother Yunhai was in had already been destroyed."
"What?"
Dongbo Xue Ying was shocked, "Isn't the Heaven Sword Sect where Yun Hai is from a World Deity? It was destroyed just like that? "
"Yes." The statue of the Purple Thunder Emperor continued, "The Sect Master of the Sky Sword Sect is indeed a stage one World Deity, but he was ambushed and killed by the Black Bone Mountain Lord. The Sky Sword Sect was also attacked, and many of its Deities were easily captured alive by the Black Bone Mountain Lord. Brother Hai Yun was also captured alive … and sent to a planet to work as a laborer in mining. Now that Brother Hai Yun's godly power has been sealed, he has to work as a laborer day and night. If we don't save him, I'm afraid he'll be tortured to death."
Dongbo Xue Ying and Chao Qing's expressions changed. Chao Qing knew that the situation was serious, but he didn't know that it was this serious.
Among the ancestors of the Xia people in the God Realm, there were only three who had reached the peak of the God Realm.
The Cloud Sea Emperor was extremely friendly towards the Xia people and helped the Xia people time and time again. However, he was now in a desperate situation.
"What should we do?" Chao Qing was incomparably anxious. "It's said that the Deity World is dangerous, and that many of the ancestors of the Xia people have died in the Deity World. Who would have thought that Yun Hai, an elder of the Sky Sword Sect, would …"
"Dongbo," the statue of the Purple Thunder Emperor continued. "I can't think of a solution right now. I've joined the Bloodshed God Palace, but I'm only a low-level member. Although there are benefits to joining the Bloodshed God Palace, I have to abide by the rules and not leave my post without permission … and with my current combat power, I can't save Brother Hai Yun. Thus, after thinking about it, I can only come to you, Dongbo. Dongbo, you're already a Material Realm Lord, and your status isn't ordinary. As long as you think of a way, even if you can't succeed in a short period of time, you'll definitely be able to save Yun Hai after spending a hundred thousand or a million years. "
"I understand." Dongbo Xue Ying nodded. "Yun Hai has put in so much effort for the sake of the Xia people. How could I just watch from the sidelines? Purple Thunder, please tell me all the details. Which planet is Yun Hai Yun Hai being escorted to? What dangers does that planet have … and how strong is the Black Bone Mountain? "
"Alright," the Purple Thunder Emperor said gratefully. "This time, it's really troublesome …"
"Purple Thunder, you and Yun Hai are of the same race, and so are I. You don't need to thank me," Dongbo Xue Ying said with a smile.
The Purple Thunder Emperor nodded lightly and continued, "Do you have any avatar techniques? Material Realm Lords usually cultivate avatar techniques. If you don't, you can buy one in the Deity world with Deity crystals or treasures. I can't afford it with my small salary, but it should be easy for you, Dongbo. You just need to send a Deity avatar to the Deity world, and I believe you'll be able to buy an avatar technique. "
Dongbo Xue Ying nodded. "Don't worry."
A Deity avatar was equivalent to a Qi avatar or a magic avatar.
After becoming a Deity, one could send a Deity avatar to act temporarily. Once the Deity energy was exhausted, the avatar would dissipate. At the same time, the strand of soul contained within the avatar would be lost.
… …
After receiving the detailed information provided by the Purple Thunder Emperor, Dongbo Xue Ying and Chao Qing walked side by side out of the ancient palace.
"Dongbo, are you really planning to go?" Chao Qing was slightly worried.
"Don't worry. I'll first obtain an avatar technique and cultivate it before going," Dongbo Xue Ying said. Although he had cultivated an avatar long ago, he had always kept it a secret. This was because the disciples of Crimson Rock Mountain who had not obtained a grade one True Meaning or become a World Deity were forbidden from cultivating an avatar technique. If he were to reveal that he had cultivated an avatar technique, he would not be able to explain himself.
Currently, only the weapon spirit Crimson Rock knew that he had cultivated an avatar technique.
"Cultivating an avatar, splitting one's soul into two, will have an impact on your cultivation." Chao Qing sighed. "Ai, but Yun Hai has been captured and sent to work as a laborer in the mines. We can't just leave him be."
Chao Qing still hoped that Dongbo Xue Ying could cultivate to a higher level.
Cultivating an avatar had caused his cultivation to slow down. Chao Qing felt that he owed Dongbo Xue Ying a lot. In fact, the Purple Thunder Emperor also felt somewhat guilty about this. It was just that … if he did not save Emperor Yun Hai, he would probably be tortured to death as a laborer.

"Are you planning to go to the Deity World?" Jing Qiu asked.
"I'm only going there with an avatar. I'll obtain an avatar technique first," Dongbo Xue Ying said. If he wanted to hide this, he would have to hide it from everyone. He had to let everyone think that he had sent a Deity avatar to the Deity World to obtain an avatar technique.
"My current strength is still insufficient. If I'm strong enough, I'll also cultivate an avatar technique and go with you," Jing Qiu said. "I'm not a disciple of Crimson Rock Mountain. I believe that your two senior apprentice brothers will be willing to teach me an avatar technique."
"With your strength, Jing Qiu, you should be able to become a Deity soon," Dongbo Xue Ying said.
That's right.
Mountain Lord He, Si Kong Yang, and the others had all failed to become Deities. He had reconstructed their bodies and sent them to the Crimson Rock Mountain World to continue cultivating. But Jing Qiu was different. Back then, when she forcibly controlled the Star Pagoda, she had consumed a large amount of her soul. However, the more she consumed, the higher her comprehension ability became! Even though she was saved later on, her comprehension was still extremely high. Currently, she had long since cultivated a grade two True Meaning to the peak of the stage three realm. Furthermore, she could faintly feel that she was about to break through!
"Mn. When I become a Deity, I'll cultivate an avatar technique and enter the Deity World together with you." Jing Qiu nodded with a smile.
...
The sun rose.
In the sky above the vast plains of the Xia people's world, a starry-blue robed Dongbo Xue Ying was looking down at the world.
"Enter the Deity World?" Dongbo Xue Ying was feeling somewhat complicated.
He had originally planned to quietly cultivate until the Bloodshed God Palace's Myriad Flower Feast was about to begin. Now, however, it had been brought forward by three hundred years.
"Let's see what the Deity World is like. I've heard many legends, but I've never seen it for myself. "Dongbo Xue Ying thought.
Weng!
He controlled the entire Xia people's world to expel this avatar of his. Instantly, a ripple enveloped him, and he felt as though he was being expelled from the world! It was as though the entire material world was sending him out.
The scene before his eyes changed, and a vast starry sky appeared before him.
"This is the Deity World?" Dongbo Xue Ying stood in the void of the starry sky, looking at the distant stars. The starry sky was vast and boundless, and only the rays of the sun were able to penetrate through the obstacles of distance and illuminate this place. On the opposite side, similarly far away, the cold radiance of the Moon Star shone down.
Dongbo Xue Ying stood alone in the void of the starry sky. According to his estimation, the closest star to him was at least five billion kilometers away. Furthermore, it was probably a desolate star with no one around.
"The Deity World is too big." Dongbo Xue Ying sighed inwardly.
Every starfield had trillions of stars, and the number of stars capable of nurturing life was extremely small.
