The next morning, the cultivators of the Sea of Innocence didn't say any unnecessary goodbyes. All they saw was two streaks of black and gold light streaking across the sky.
Ye Zichen stood in front of his door, gazing up at the two streaks of light.
By his side, Pu Jingwan occasionally tossed raisins into her mouth. Xiao Yumei walked out of her room, her coat in hand, and draped it over Ye Zichen's shoulders.
"It's getting cold. Let's go back to our rooms."
"In the end, we still took this step."
Ye Zichen let out a soft sigh as he watched the black light gradually disappear into the sky. He turned his head abruptly and saw that the people in front of the door had all returned to their rooms.
The Great Sage and Yang Jian had left.
Now that they were back in Heavenly God City, they'd slowly push ahead with their plan to infiltrate the Xiao Family. Ye Zichen had only come up with this idea on the spur of the moment, and he didn't know if it was the right thing to do.
"Hm?"
The instant they entered the room, Ye Zichen and the others stopped and frowned at the window. Just now, they'd clearly sensed a seal envelop their room.
If they guessed right, the purpose of this seal was to prevent yesterday's incident from happening again. Furthermore, judging from the strength of the seal, it seemed to be the work of some great emperor.
However, it didn't take long before another restriction was laid down.
Then a third, a fourth ….
In less than an hour, Ye Zichen's room was surrounded by at least ten seals.
"The Xue Family really values you."
Pu Jingwan stared blankly for a moment, then grabbed another raisin and tossed it into her mouth.
These ten seals were no ordinary ones; they were all at the imperial lord-level. In other words, the great emperors who'd stayed with the Xue Family for a short time had set them up.
The seals intersected with each other. If you wanted to pass through them, never mind a living person ….
Even an ordinary grain of sand would not be able to escape their eyes.
However, Ye Zichen found it hard to believe. Were the great emperors really doing this to prevent yesterday's incident from happening again?
If that were the case, they should've set it up as soon as it happened. There was no need to wait until this morning.
"Here they go again."
After a short pause, the restriction outside the room came in quick succession. Pu Jingwan couldn't be bothered with them anymore. She walked up to the window, put on her headphones, and started singing.
However, her voice was truly demonic. It was far different from the Modern Realm Pu Jingwan Ye Zichen knew.
For the entire morning, the Restriction Formation outside had not stopped.
After leaving the Sea of Innocence, the Great Sage and Yang Jian still hadn't reached Heavenly God City, and there was no news of them in the group chat.
Ye Zichen leaned against the wall and sat in the most comfortable spot under the sunlight. At that moment …
"Yumei, do you know who that person is?"
In the sky above the Xue Family, several great emperors had been busying themselves in the sky. Suddenly, an old man about the same age as the Hermit Emperor appeared among them. When the other great emperors saw him, they all turned to look at him …
He bowed as a junior!
In the God Race, the division between seniors and juniors was very simple. It was the realm.
The Great Emperors in the sky were already the cream of the crop of the God Race, and each of them was in charge of a Divine Mountain. Yet, existences like them actually bowed to the old man as a junior.
Who was that old man?
Most importantly, Ye Zichen had no impression of the elder at all.
An old man who could make the Great Emperors act in such a manner shouldn't be a nameless nobody.
Where did this old man come from?
Great Void Temple?
Supreme Hall?
Or Great Freedom?
"I don't know him."
After a few glances, Xiao Yumei shook her head. Although she'd been on the Divine Mountains for far longer than Ye Zichen, she'd always lived in seclusion. She didn't necessarily know much more about the outside world than Ye Zichen, who'd only been here for a few years.
As far as she could remember, she'd never seen such a person, but judging by the other great emperors' reactions ….
"If I'm not mistaken, he should be from one of the Divine Mountains' holy lands. Judging from his clothes, he looks like someone from the Supreme Hall?"
"A formation master?"
When she mentioned the Supreme Hall, the only people she could think of were formation masters.
The Great Emperors chatted with him for a long time. Ye Zichen vaguely sensed that, as they spoke, their gazes fell on him several times.
Finally, the great emperors retreated, leaving behind only the Lord of the Big Dipper, Ye Rong, and the old man.
Instantly, heaven and earth rumbled.
A terrifying storm came from the void above. The few Great Emperors who had left the void were now in mid-air. Their divine power surged and weaved a net made of divine power in mid-air, blocking the storm in the void.
Before long, the Lord of the Big Dipper, Ye Rong, lit up with starlight and shot into the sky.
At the same time, an azure spiritual formation diagram appeared beneath the old man's feet.
"This is …."
Ye Zichen didn't know why, even though he didn't know much about formations, he had the vague feeling that he recognized this diagram.
The bright starlight was completely infused into the spirit formation, and the spirit diagram completely merged with the starlight.
The star diagram released countless beams of light, like a rain of starry swords. They fell irregularly on the ground or on the roof. As the swords fell, a miniature spiritual formation diagram appeared where they landed.
The diagram flickered and intersected to form lines that looked like the Milky Way.
"It's so beautiful." Pu Jingwan's eyes lit up.
"A Starry Sky Spiritual Formation!"
Ye Zichen abruptly called out the formation's name. The other great emperors glanced at him, then quickly averted their gazes.
"Zichen, you recognize it?" Ye Zichen shook his head. "I don't know either. I've never seen it before, but now that I'm looking at it, I don't know how I know."
Up in the sky, Ye Rong was still pouring starlight into the formation diagram. As starlight poured into it, the rain of swords never stopped.
However, Ye Rong's face was deathly pale, and she bit her lip so hard that blood seeped out.
The Xue Family's mountain peak was completely enveloped by the swords. The old man seemed ready to stop, but Ye Rong continued biting her lip ….
"Enough!"
Suddenly, Great Emperor Chao Feng's furious roar reverberated through the sky. He waved his hand and severed the connection between Ye Rong and her starlight. The instant he did, Ye Rong coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell into Great Emperor Chao Feng's arms.
Not long after the starlight dissipated, the diagram beneath the old man's feet disappeared.
However, the smaller diagrams remained proudly intact. Starlight intersected, making it seem like you were standing in the middle of the Milky Way. It was dazzling.
"Mom!"
When he saw Ye Rong cough up blood, Ye Zichen immediately took to the skies, but Xuan Ji blocked his way.
"Your mom will be fine. You don't need to worry about that."
