"Oh? Late-stages of the Heaven Ascension realm? "
A strange glint flashed in Yi Yun's eyes. The late-stages of the Heaven Ascension realm was a full realm higher than him!
If it was the Tian Yuan world, an opponent a full realm higher than Yi Yun was nothing. For example, Yi Yun could easily kill the Sovereign of the Eventide without using his avatar or the Demon God puppet.
However, in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, a late-stages Heaven Ascension realm person was a full realm higher than him. What would happen if they really fought?
Yi Yun had no idea. He was confident in his own strength, but he was not arrogant. To him, the strength of a genius in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven was still unknown. He would not know unless he truly tried it.
At this moment, Yang Zishan had already entered the Fire Spirit Palace. It was Yi Yun and company's turn to register.
Seeing Yang Zishan leave, Man Dao said in a silly manner, "Junior Brother Yi, I'm really sorry for letting you see such a joke."
Losing to Yang Zishan in a bet was naturally not something to be proud of. Of course, this had to do with Man Dao's cultivation level being lower than Yang Zishan's.
Man Dao was a hot-tempered person to begin with. Previously, he had clashed with Yang Zishan and was goaded by him. In a moment of anger, he lost three World Stones in a bet.
This made Man Dao's heart ache for a very long time.
"Victory and defeat are common in war, so losing once is nothing. However, Senior Brother Man Dao just mentioned that our master, Fairy Black Bamboo, is at odds with Elder Heaven Scorpio?"
"Yes." Man Dao nodded. "Our master is only a few thousand years old. She became an Earth Fire Hall Elder in the recent hundred years, presiding over the Earth Fire Hall's examinations. Our master's examinations are strict, so the disciples she brings out are naturally not bad. However, as Master has only taken in disciples for a short period of time, not only are there few disciples, they also do not have much time to cultivate. In fact, they are quite weak in the Earth Fire Hall."
"Actually, it's all a factional struggle..."
"Factional struggle?" Yi Yun's heart stirred.
"That's right. Speaking of which, it has nothing to do with us trivial figures. It's a struggle between the Luo clan's royal family. You probably do not know, but in the past hundred years, the Luo clan fought a huge war. Back then, the war went all the way to the royal capital. The Luo clan was nearly annihilated, and although they won, His Majesty, Emperor Luo, was injured in the war. There are plans to pass down the throne. "
"The few princes that were favored the most were evacuated during the war. They were only summoned back near the end of the war. And the most qualified to inherit the throne are Prince Crimson Firmament and Princess Purple Spirit. They have established their own factions."
"My master is a subordinate of the prince, and the prince is a follower of Princess Purple Spirit. As for Elder Heaven Scorpio, he's with Prince Crimson Firmament, so he naturally won't be easy to deal with. "
Emperor Luo's succession, princes vying for the throne?
Yi Yun was taken aback when he heard this. "Senior Brother Man Dao, you just said that the princes that were eyed had been evacuated during the war. How many people were evacuated during the Luo clan war?"
"How many people can we evacuate? Only two." Man Dao said matter-of-factly, "It's not easy to choose a path of retreat. Besides, evacuating the heirs and preserving the bloodline is a matter of course, but if the entire royal family were to evacuate, how can we hope for the Luo clan's army to fight?"
What Man Dao said made a lot of sense.
Typically, before a mortal dynasty was destroyed, loyal ministers would protect the crown prince to break out of the encirclement. As for many emperors, they would stay in the royal capital to die for their country.
If an emperor were to flee together with the emperor's entire family, how could they hope for the soldiers under them to risk their lives?
"In that case, could Princess Purple Spirit be Luo Huo 'er?"
It was no wonder Fairy Black Bamboo had previously said that the royal capital's waters ran deep. Entering the royal capital would cause one to be swept up in the storm. With his cultivation level, he would be capsized if he was not careful.
So the princes were vying for the throne!
The position of Emperor Luo was extremely revered. It was a true overlord, and it was an overlord in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven. Compared to the lower realms, it was completely incomparable!
Ignoring the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, even a family clan in the Tian Yuan world needed to undergo a bloody trial to inherit power. It was even more so for the position of Emperor Luo.
As disciples at the bottom of the hierarchy, they would automatically be assigned to a faction because of their master. This was similar to how in mortal countries, the examiner would automatically become a disciple of that person if he or she was chosen by an imperial examiner.
"Then what's the situation with the vying for the throne? Who has the upper hand? "Yi Yun asked with a voice transmission.
He wanted to know what Luo Huo 'er's situation was like in this struggle.
Man Dao smiled and said, "I'm not sure either. It's not our place to concern ourselves with the matters of the princes. It's best we quickly enter the Fire Spirit Palace. "
Yi Yun gave up when he realized that he could not get anything out of him. On further thought, it was truly a coincidence. He had come to the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven and accepted Fairy Black Bamboo's assessment. By a freak combination of factors, he had managed to make contact with Luo Huo 'er.
However, Luo Huo 'er was now the heir to the throne of the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, while he was only a newly promoted disciple of the Earth Fire Hall. Furthermore, one of them was located in the Luo clan royal capital, while the other was located in front of the Earth Fire Hall's Fire Spirit Palace. They were separated by a great distance.
"Lord Mu Ao." Yun Qiao 'er shouted with a clear voice.
Yi Yun cast his gaze on the Spirit Hound and could not help but feel curious.
The Spirit Hound did not seem like a living creature. He could not sense any aura of life from it. However, its long silver fur and massive body made people involuntarily feel a sense of fear.
Mu Zishan and Yun Qiao 'er addressed the Spirit Hound as "Lord", but it was unknown if the Spirit Hound was a desolate beast or a member of the Fey race.
Just as Yun Qiao 'er's voice faded, Yi Yun felt a cold aura sweep across his body. In a trance, he seemed to see the Spirit Hound open its eyes, revealing a pair of eyes that had experienced the vicissitudes of time as it looked at him. However, when he focused his gaze, the Spirit Hound was clearly motionless. It did not even move its eyelids, much less open its eyes.
The cold feeling disappeared with that, but Yi Yun felt like there was an eye staring at him from above his head.
He could only vaguely sense the gaze, and he could also sense that the gaze was observing him.
"Alright, the registration is done. Let's enter." Yun Qiao 'er and company clearly had the same feeling as Yi Yun, but they were already used to it after coming thrice. Yun Qiao 'er was looking forward to mining fire, so she eagerly took the lead to walk in front.
"Junior Brother Yi Yun, you have to be careful!" Yun Qiao 'er's melodious voice came from ahead.
When Yi Yun stepped through the Fire Spirit Palace's door, he realized what Yun Qiao 'er meant by telling him to be careful.
From the outside, the Fire Spirit Palace did not look any different from a typical palace. However, after stepping through the door, there was a seemingly endless staircase that led straight down. The two sides of the staircase were lit with bean-sized lights that extended all the way down until it was pitch-black in the deepest depths.
Yun Qiao 'er's figure flashed in front of him, and soon, she disappeared into the darkness.
