The Divine Wilderness, which spanned hundreds of thousands of miles, was sparsely populated. In the depths of the Divine Wilderness, the Desolate race and desolate beasts coexisted peacefully. No one knew where they were, and almost no human had ever stepped into the Desolate race's territory.
But today, an altar in a valley suddenly lit up with a gentle light.
After the light disappeared, a large group of figures appeared on the altar. These people were men and women, old and young. The moment they appeared, many people immediately looked around nervously and curiously. They were the people from the Lin family.
At this moment, there were many people from the Desolate race standing below the altar.
From afar, Yi Yun saw Jiang Xiaorou. She was dressed in a red robe and held a bone staff in her hand. There was a cinnabar dot in between her eyebrows, making her look like a queen. And behind Jiang Xiaorou was Chen Fei, who had previously presided over the Skyfox array.
The Desolate race dressed differently from humans. Many of the men were bare-chested, and their bodies were covered in tattoos and runes. Their necks and hands were adorned with beast teeth or beast bones.
As for the women, they were dressed in white fur, with feathers in their hair. Their eyes were intelligent like a fox spirit, and they were beautiful and filled with a wild charm.
"Yun-er!"
Seeing that Yi Yun was fine, Jiang Xiaorou was overjoyed.
"Sis Xiaorou." Yi Yun went forward and held Jiang Xiaorou's hand.
"My mother is waiting for you in the grand hall. She has something important to tell you." As Jiang Xiaorou spoke, she turned towards Lin Xintong. "Miss Lin, please settle down with my people first. I'll be right back with Yun-er."
"Alright." Lin Xintong nodded gently. As for Jiang Xiaorou, she began to arrange for the Lin family to stay with the Desolate race.
The Lin family was originally worried that it would not be easy to live under the Lin family's roof, but the Desolate race treated the Lin family with great courtesy. They specially arranged for a palace to be the Lin family's residence, and also sent a few Desolate race guides to serve the Lin family.
After the Lin family settled down, Jiang Xiaorou led Yi Yun to the Desolate Queen's grand hall. Chen Fei and company followed respectfully behind them. All the members of the Desolate race were very respectful towards Yi Yun and Lin Xintong. The Desolate race worshipped the strong. Yi Yun and Lin Xintong's performance at the Soul Tomb had already spread throughout the Desolate race. Towards these two, the Desolate race, especially the younger generation, respected them from the bottom of their hearts.
Yi Yun followed Jiang Xiaorou onto another teleportation array. Chen Fei controlled the array as he chanted a mysterious and difficult incantation. Like the howling of the wind, the altar emitted a beam of light that enveloped everyone.
With a flash of light, Yi Yun and Lin Xintong arrived in front of a grand hall. The hall was simple and solemn. Amidst the strong wind, Yi Yun saw that not far from the hall, there were a few primordial desolate beasts that were as large as mountains. These desolate beasts emitted a powerful aura. Without a doubt, they were Primordial True Spirits.
They were the guardians of the Desolate race's grand hall.
The Human race had many legendary figures at the Heaven Ascension realm. In comparison, the Desolate race had fewer experts at the same level. However, with these Primordial True Spirits, the Desolate race's top strength exceeded that of the Human race.
Walking into the grand hall, Yi Yun saw Jiang Xiaorou's mother.
She was dressed in a bluish-purple robe and she was sitting on a throne. Beneath her feet was a tiger. Of course, it was not an ordinary tiger, but a powerful desolate beast with a pure bloodline.
This woman was elegant and dignified. Time did not leave a single mark on her. She and Jiang Xiaorou looked like a pair of sisters.
"Junior Yi Yun greets senior." Yi Yun bowed towards Jiang Xiaorou's mother. The Desolate race had once saved his life from Shen Tu Nantian. Although the Desolate race had other intentions in doing so, Yi Yun still remembered the kindness they had shown him.
The woman looked at Yi Yun and sized him up with a smile. She looked at Yi Yun for about ten seconds before she said softly, "So you are Yi Yun. You are indeed a dragon among men. In the past decade or so, I have heard Xiaorou mention you several times. I originally did not want Xiaorou to have anything to do with you, but from the looks of it, I was wrong back then …"
Jiang Xiaorou gave a knowing smile when she heard the former Desolate Queen's words. She was naturally happy from the bottom of her heart for being able to change her mother's attitude towards Yi Yun. In the future, she would be able to accompany Yi Yun.
Yi Yun said, "Thank you senior. This junior has gone through thick and thin with Sis Xiaorou. No matter what happens in the future, this junior will face it together with Sis Xiaorou."
Yi Yun did not blame the Desolate race for forcefully separating him from Jiang Xiaorou. To the Desolate race, humans were indeed not to be trusted.
The former Desolate Queen smiled slightly before sighing. She said, "The Black-armored Demon God's appearance has stirred up a bloody storm in the Tian Yuan world. Although the Desolate race and the Human race are enemies, this matter is also a disaster for our Desolate race … The reason why I met you today is also because of this matter …"
"I believe … you should know the approximate strength of the seven Demon Disciples, and even know that the Black-armored Demon God has been seriously injured. His life force and spiritual energy are no longer stable, right?"
"Yea." Yi Yun nodded. He also wanted to obtain some revelations from the former Desolate Queen. He wanted to know what this powerful woman, who was in charge of the Desolate race, was planning on doing in this calamity.
The former Desolate Queen said, "Yi Yun, the reason why I called you and Xiaorou here today is not to give you any advice, but to tell you about Xiaorou's background. In other words, it's about Xiaorou's father. The reason why I made Xiaorou sever all ties with you is actually related to Xiaorou's father …"
The former Desolate Queen's tone changed, stunning Yi Yun.
He originally thought that the woman would discuss with him how to deal with the Black-armored Demon God, but he never expected that she would mention Jiang Xiaorou's father.
Yi Yun did not know anything about Jiang Xiaorou's father. In fact, he had previously wondered why Jiang Xiaorou's surname was Jiang.
Back in the Lian tribe, Yi Yun had heard Jiang Xiaorou reminisce about her childhood. In the past, Jiang Xiaorou seemed to have been born into a large family clan. He had never heard Jiang Xiaorou mention anything about having desolate beasts as companions. As such, Yi Yun guessed that Jiang Xiaorou's father was a human.
However, all these years, Yi Yun had never heard of any large family clan with the surname Jiang in the Tian Yuan world. There were a few smaller family clans, but they did not seem to have any connection with Jiang Xiaorou.
Yi Yun looked at Jiang Xiaorou's mother, waiting for her to continue.
The woman sighed, as if she had recalled some past events. She felt mixed emotions.
"Yi Yun, speaking of Xiaorou's father, let me first ask you. After you entered the Great Empress mystic realm and learned of many ancient secrets, have you ever considered leaving this world?"
Leave this world?
Yi Yun was stunned. He knew that the so-called leaving this world was referring to heading to the 12 Empyrean Heavens!
In fact, after Yi Yun and Lin Xintong obtained the Great Empress mystic realm's heritage, the two of them had previously discussed the idea of heading to the 12 Empyrean Heavens.
The more they learned of the ancient secrets, the more they felt how tiny the world they lived in was. Lin Xintong was never a person who was willing to be ordinary. She had a firm martial heart, so when she learned of the 12 Empyrean Heavens and the 12 Supreme Great Dao, she was filled with yearning. As for Yi Yun, he had also thought of going to the 12 Empyrean Heavens to take a look when his cultivation in the Tian Yuan world reached its peak.
Yi Yun nodded silently.
The former Desolate Queen was not surprised as she said, "I did not get you here today to discuss how to face the Black-armored Demon God. First, I want to tell you of a path that leads to the 12 Empyrean Heavens. It is also a path of retreat …"
A path that leads to the 12 Empyrean Heavens?
Upon hearing Jiang Xiaorou's mother's words, Yi Yun was alarmed.
Yi Yun knew that the world the Tian Yuan world resided in was actually a sealed land. Even the Tian Yuan world itself was a gigantic enchanted treasure that was used to suppress the eternal whirlpool.
Back when the Azure Yang Lord came to the Tian Yuan world, it was also a chance coincidence. And because of the Azure Yang Lord, the Tian Yuan world's primordial enchantment was destroyed.
This world was connected to the outside world, to the 12 Empyrean Heavens.
However, Yi Yun did not know how to go from the Tian Yuan world to the 12 Empyrean Heavens.
