“No!”

On the Saint Spirit Mountain, Yi Buhui and Yi Tu were on their knees in the study. The Phantom King’s back was facing the two of them as he laughed mirthlessly.

The Phantom King paused for a moment and then continued tutting. “How many people has this bastard killed? So what if I do go? I have received news from the Demon-Buster Valley that all the great family clans’ young masters in the Heaven-Splitting Army have been killed by him. If he has the guts, he should bear the consequences. I can’t bring myself to stand up for him! I would offend many people by doing so. Why don’t you calculate the benefits and costs on your own?”

“I know!”

Yi Tu nodded somberly and continued, “Father, the impact of what has happened is big indeed, but you need to think of Little Sister as well. We failed to act, and Jiang Yi nearly died. He went through so much to survive the Purgatory Mystic Realm. If we still stand by and do nothing, and Little Sister finds out, will she… be able to live on?”

Yi Buhui began to kowtow and wail, “Grandfather, even if you look down on Jiang Yi, he is your grandson after all. He is my cousin! Blood is thicker than water, Grandfather! You know Aunt’s character full well! If Jiang Yi dies, she will not want to live alone. Are you going to watch as she dies in front of you?”

“Uh?”

The Phantom Race’s entire body trembled. He closed his eyes, pain and conflict evident in his expression. He kept silent for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “It’s not me being heartless. As the clan head of the Phantom Race, I need to think for my entire clan! If I step out and help this brat today, I will be pitting myself against countless other family clans. How did the Divine Yang Race get destroyed back then? Am I supposed to bury my entire clan for the sake of one Jiang Yi? Jiang Yi aside, even if both of you and Piaopiao’s lives were on the line, you would still not be worth sacrificing the entire clan for. Yi Tu, if you don’t understand this, you can never take my place. Be dismissed!”

“Sigh…”

Yi Tu and Yi Buhui exchanged a meaningful look and sighed. The Phantom King was right. The clan’s interests surpassed all of theirs. They had grown up listening to this lesson being taught over and over again. The Phantom King was this stubborn and harsh; he would never change his mind.

Their expressions dark, the two of them walked out of the study. Outside, an elderly man suddenly flew towards them. When he saw Yi Tu, he quickly handed him a letter and said, “Big Brother Tu, this is a message from the Earth Emanations Sovereign to Clan Head.”

“En?”

This message was written on paper and sent through the message transmitting secret formation. Yi Tu studied it curiously for a second, and his eyes became frighteningly bright. He quickly turned back around and charged into the study.

Once again, he walked towards the Phantom King and handed the letter to him. In a low voice, he shouted, “Father, you have to act now. Saving Jiang Yi will ensure the continuation of the entire Phantom Race. This would be very beneficial for our clan!”

The Phantom King raised his eyebrows, took the letter, and studied it for a couple of seconds. Then, his eyes lit up as well. Astonished, he mumbled, “Thearch-Ranked martial artist? The Earth Emanations Sovereign is not trying to take me for a ride, is he?”

Mo Lingqiu indeed delivered the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s message word-for-word. The Earth Emanations Sovereign said that Jiang Yi would be able to achieve great things and become a Thearch-Ranked martial artist in the future. To the Phantom King, this sounded like a joke because throughout the entire human race—including the Heaven Domain, there were only four Thearch-Ranked martial artists. The Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch appeared later on, but he unfortunately died.

In these hundreds of thousands of years, the human race had produced many King-Ranked martial artists, but only four Supreme Thearchs. Many formidable martial artists could only become King-Ranked even until they died of old age. There was only one more step between King-Ranked martial artists and Thearch-Ranked martial artists, but it felt like that step was as wide as the distance between heaven and earth!

How many King-Ranked martial artists like He Buyu have there been in the history of mankind?

The guardians of the Primitive Mystic Realm, Dao Heaven Mystic Realm, and Primordial Mystic Realm throughout history have all died as King-Ranked martial artists. Most of them sat in those realms for tens of years, but without exception, all of them died in those mystic realms. One could only imagine how difficult it was to become a Thearch-Ranked martial artist.

Thus, when the Earth Emanations Sovereign said that Jiang Yi would become a Thearch-Ranked martial artist, the Phantom King became very suspicious. Yi Tu was suspicious as well, but he pondered for a moment and said, “Father, how old is Jiang Yi? With his current standard of skills, he is already able to hunt Ren Tianfan down. How long has it been since the Earth Domain saw a talent like this? His talents are not far from the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch, right? If he really becomes the second Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch…”

“Alright!”

The Phantom King made up his mind and said in a cool tone. “I will make a trip there. Earth Emanations Sovereign, if you’re lying to me, I will not let you off. Yi Tu, watch over the Saint Spirit Mountain. I will make a move first. Get Yi Fu and the others to go near the Divine Yang Mystic Realm and wait for me to investigate further.”

Tsk! Tsk!

The Phantom King immediately cut through the void and disappeared into it in a flash. There were disturbances in the air in the study as the crack in the void slowly sealed back up.

“Alright!”

Yi Tu quickly summoned a few subordinates and passed down the Phantom King’s orders. His expression was filled with joy as he said, “Majesty Father and the Earth Emanations Sovereign are working together this time. Even… Heavenly King Wu and the others would not be their match, would they? As long as they can go and rescue Jiang Yi and hide him away—once Jiang Yi becomes a King-Ranked martial artist, nobody would be able to kill him. Jiang Yi, you have to hang in there. You have to wait for Majesty Father and the Earth Emanations Sovereign to arrive.”

…

Heavenly King Wu and Heavenly King You teleported over at almost the exact same time that the Earth Emanations Sovereign entered the void. This was a full twelve hours after Jiang Yi and the Little Eagle King entered the void and headed towards the Divine Yang Mystic Realm!

In the pitch-black void, there was not even a hint of light. A huge divine boat cut through the void, activating its restrictions and emitting a faint, green light. It was completely silent in there. The boat moved at top speed without any sound, making it look exceptionally frightening. It looked just like a huge beast traveling through the night sky, ready to swallow anyone in its way.

This divine boat was specially made. It was called the Chaos Divine Boat.

The boat was very expensive and fast, and its restrictions were powerful; otherwise, it would be crushed by the void immediately upon entering. Ordinary family clans would not be able to afford a boat like that even if they sold off all their possessions. It was even rare for great family clans to possess such a boat. The Chaos Divine Boats were typically used by the various domains to patrol the void and keep an eye on the little domains that they owned.

There was no one in the back cabin of that Chaos Divine Boat and five people in the front cabin. A green-haired young man sat cross-legged, recuperating his wounds. The other three green-haired formidable martial artists kept an eye on their surroundings to prevent any attempt at assassination from around the void.

A red-haired young man in black robes looked around anxiously. He could not sit still in the front cabin and kept pacing back and forth. After a long while, he finally asked, “How long more until we reach the Divine Yang Mystic Realm?”

“Lord Jiang, don’t be anxious!”

One of the green-haired martial artists answered. “If Young Clan Head did not miscalculate, we’ll probably arrive in an hour.”

“An hour…”

The red-haired young man frowned and continued to pace back and forth in the front cabin. At that moment, a golden light appeared in the east. They heard the piercing sound of something cutting through the void. The three green-haired formidable martial artists’ expressions changed at once as they steered the Divine Boat away from the source of that noise. They made an arc and flew downward.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

One by one, golden streams of light shot across overhead. They looked as beautiful as shooting stars and disappeared into the sky after a while. The three green-haired martial artists heaved sighs of relief. The turbulence in this void was pretty frightening. If they were hit by those shooting stars, the restrictions of the Chaos Divine Boat would have been able to withstand it, but a lot of energy would be consumed. If they were hit a second time after that, they would be destroyed for sure.

An hour was going to pass by very quickly. A bright light finally appeared in front of them, but there seemed to be very bad air turbulence near that bright dot. From afar, they could faintly see tens of eddies near that bright light.

“So many eddies?”

The three green-haired martial artists’ expressions darkened. They faced the young man who was seated cross-legged, and said, “Young Clan Head, there are many spatial eddies near the Divine Yang Mystic Realm. You cannot go and take the risk.”

The green-haired young man opened his eyes and scanned them coldly. “Are they not just spatial eddies? We’ll be alright if we’re careful!

“Jiang Yi!”

The green-haired young man scanned the red-haired one from head to toe and then said, “I can bring you into the Divine Yang Mystic Realm, but you have to promise that you will not be rash. You cannot kill the innocent. It’s easy to anger others by killing people. Then, no one will be able to save you.”

The red-haired young man nodded. “I have never killed the innocent. The people of the Divine Yang Race have done nothing wrong. If they don’t provoke me, I will not kill them. The You Clan’s people, however… are punishable by death!”
