Chapter 1699: Not Worth It!

In Nine Yang City, the Teleportation Formation that led to the Earth Domain had been activated. This Teleportation Formation was the one that the Dao Clan had initially insisted be sealed. Now, the Dao Clan was personally instructing them to reactivate it. Thus, the people in charge of guarding this Teleportation Formation in Nine Yang City activated it at once.

After all, there was a significant number of people in the Heaven Domain that were from the Earth Domain. What’s more, many people from the Earth Domain and the Chaos Sea constantly teleported to the Heaven Domain to join the various armies.

Heavenly King Wei and the others were not too concerned by the reactivation of the Teleportation Formation. So much time had already passed. They thought that the Dao Clan was finally feeling embarrassed about their actions. They were probably afraid that keeping the Teleportation Formation sealed would likely cause many people to feel unsatisfied. The Heavenly Kings guessed that this was why they suggested undoing the seal on the Teleportation Formation. If the Dao Clan had not taken the initiative to do so, they would probably have done it first.

The Dao Clan’s people did not make any rash moves. Even the people from the various other clans stopped focusing on the Flying Feather Command. They told their spies not to do anything rash as well. This way, Heavenly King Wei and the others would slowly become less cautious.

After one month, Dao Leng secretly sent a voice transmission to the White River King, asking him to send people to spread rumors that Jiang Yi was trapped in the Heaven Domain’s Longtan Mystic Realm. The story was that he was trapped by an Array Formation set up by the Netherworld Race while he was out on a mission. Even the Flying Feather Command’s important characters did not know what to do. In three months, he would probably be demonized.

Of course, they could not just spread a single story. Together with this rumor, other stories of Jiang Yi’s brave acts in the Heaven Domain were spread as well. Stories were told of how he was surrounded by countless formidable martial artists in the Chaos Sea, how he took Dao Feng’s Divine Escape Talisman and escaped to the Heaven Domain, and how he killed his way out of surrounding soldiers from the Dao Clan.

At last, a mysterious person helped him to escape the Azure Region and join the Nine Yang Army. What’s more, he quickly rose through the ranks in the Nine Yang Army and gained the favor of Heavenly King Yun’s granddaughter, Yun Bing. Very easily, he became the Staff Captain of the Flying Feather Army.

Even what he did in Nine Yang City was spread. People said that Dao Nu and Dao Leng personally went to Nine Yang City asking for him, but because of Yun Bing’s protection, Heavenly King Yun and Heavenly King Wei stepped out to save Jiang Yi.

One rumor alone would definitely not be effective. There had to be lies mixed with truth before people would slowly believe the stories.

What’s more, it was not the White River King who instructed people to spread rumors. Several scouts from the Chaos Sea were the ones who spread them. This news had already spread throughout the Chaos Sea. Of course, it could not only have been spread within the Earth Domain. What if someone from the Earth Domain went to verify the information in the Chaos Sea? Wouldn’t they be exposed?

Jiang Yi was a well-known character in the Earth Domain. The news spread like wildfire throughout the Earth Domain. Even if one tried to contain it, they would fail for sure. In a blink of an eye, a commotion was created across the Earth Domain. Jiang Yi was from the Earth Domain. The fact that he could cause such a huge stir in the Heaven Domain was glorifying to them as well. Of course, many other people also wondered if the great family clans of the Heaven Domain would take their anger out on the Earth Domain.

The Earth Emanations Sovereign and Phantom King immediately sent people to find out if the rumors were true. The Phantom Race even sent his clansmen in the Heaven Domain to check on the authenticity of this news.

What they found out caused all of their expressions to turn ugly at once. The Earth Domain seldom received news from the Heaven Domain because most of the information was locked within the latter. However, it was a fact that Jiang Yi had stirred trouble in the Azure Region and that he finally escaped. The fact that he killed Dao Feng was also well-known throughout the Heaven Domain.

…

In Thoughtless Sea, on Nameless Island!

Mo Lingqiu flew into the island and bowed down before reporting everything he knew. He paused for a while before saying, “Sovereign, that Xuan Ye, the Poison Spirit, Zhan Wushuang, Mo Yao’er, and the others wish to see you. They say that they want to go to Heaven Domain!”

“Such willfulness!”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign’s expression darkened as he shouted in a cool tone, “Arrest them and lock them up! How dare they cause a scene at a time like this? With skills like theirs, are they planning to go to send themselves to the Heaven Domain to die?”

Zhan Wushuang had already ascended, together with Qian Wanguan, Mo Yao’er, Jiang Yiliu, Huangfu Taotian, Situ Yixiao, and the others from the younger generation. Even the little fox, Xiao Fei, had become a human and ascended.

Jiang Yi’s identity was special. Mo Lingqiu wanted to gain his favor. Naturally, he took care of these people from the Stellarsky Domain particularly well. He even sent them huge amounts of resources back then.

One needed to fulfill three conditions to ascend: essence force, laws, and soul spirit.

If one fulfilled the ‘essence force’ and ‘soul spirit’ criteria, it would be easy for them to ascend. Mo Lingqiu had sent tens of divine monuments to help them understand the laws. Looking at the monuments would help them understand laws better than when looking at Heaven Paintings. As long as they were not stupid, they would be able to realize at least one law. It was only natural that so many of them had ascended by now.

Everyone who ascended was sent to Jiang Yi Prefecture at once. The Poison Spirit watched over everything there and stabilized things on the back-end. However, when they heard the news about Jiang Yi, chaos started to descend on the Blue Eagle Mountain. The Poison Spirit was forced to think of a way to bring all of them to see the Earth Emanations Sovereign.

“Alright.”

Mo Lingqiu nodded. It was not clear whether Jiang Yi was dead or alive, and so he had to watch over matters here on his behalf. If the Poison Spirit and the others insisted on causing a scene, Mo Lingqiu would have no choice but to arrest all of them. After all, if he did not activate the Teleportation Formation, none of them could go anywhere.

“There’s no smoke without fire!”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign heaved a long sigh and turned to the sky overhead. Then, he mumbled, “Lord, your successor will not die so quickly, would he? Is it destined that he would face such calamity? Are we meant to go and save him?”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign mumbled to himself for a long time before he finally stood up. “I am going to make a trip out. I might even make a trip to the Heaven Domain. While I am away, you will watch over everything in the Earth Emanations Domain. Get Jiang Yi’s clansmen to move to Nameless Island and stay here. Tell them that I will bring Jiang Yi back safely. If they dare to do anything rash… arrest them all!”

“Yes!”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign had already made up his mind; there was no point for Mo Lingqiu to try and convince him otherwise. All he could do was follow the Sovereign’s instructions. The Earth Emanations Sovereign pondered for a few moments and said, “If I don’t come back, follow our initial plan and disperse from the Earth Emanations Domain! We cannot afford to make mistakes.”

“Sovereign…”

Mo Lingqiu’s face fell. Although he knew the Heaven Domain was dangerous, he did not expect the Earth Emanations Sovereign to leave behind instructions in case he did not return. This showed that the danger in the Heaven Domain far exceeded Mo Lingqiu’s imagination.

Tsk! Tsk!

The Earth Emanations Sovereign did not say anything else. Instead, he just cut across the sky and left. He did not teleport straight to the Chaos Sea, but he went first to the Saint Spirit Domain.

He was the top few people in the Earth Domain, and his battle skills were top-notch. However, this was the Earth Domain. In the Heaven Domain, he would count for nothing. Only the Green Eagle King would have a say in the Heaven Domain. The Green Eagle King moved too quickly. Once he transformed, even Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artists would not be able to keep up with him.

There was another person who could instill fear in formidable martial artists in the Heaven Domain: the Phantom King. His Art of Concealment was unique in the entire world. Once the Phantom King concealed himself, anyone below the Pseudo Thearch Rank would not be able to find him. Ordinary King-Ranked martial artists could also die in his hands.

Thus, the Earth Emanations Sovereign did not go the Heaven Domain immediately but went to the Saint Spirit Domain first.

The Phantom King was Jiang Yi’s grandfather. The Earth Emanations Sovereign was prepared to drag him to the Heaven Domain together. This would increase their chances of rescuing Jiang Yi.

He moved extremely quickly. In just a single Lower-Domain day, he arrived at the Saint Spirit Mountain. He did not enter the city to use the Teleportation Formation. Instead, he concealed himself and flew to Saint Spirit Mountain.

The moment he arrived at the Saint Spirit Mountain, he released his divine senses and discovered two people there. The Wintry Sovereign and Qi Qingchen were there. Yi Tu was waiting outside. When Yi Tu spotted him, he did not look surprised at all. Instead, he bowed and said, “Earth Emanations Sovereign, Majesty Father told me to wait here for you.”

“Keke!”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign smiled subtly and walked in, taking big strides. He glanced at Qi Qingchen and the Wintry Sovereign and then nodded slightly. At last, he turned expressionlessly to the Phantom King and said, “Phantom King, why do you look so upset? That is your grandson, not mine. Aren’t you going to the Heaven Emanations? If you’re not, I will…”

The Wintry Sovereign and Qi Qingchen exchanged a knowing look before they faced the Phantom King. The latter remained expressionless as he said, “Whoever wants to go can go ahead. I am getting old, and I cannot afford to fight anymore. If I go to the Heaven Domain this time, not even my bones will remain. You’re asking me to give up the Yi Clan’s accomplishments for a mere Jiang Yi? It’s not worth it!”
