Chapter 1569 Divide
The instant Mu Lingzhu disappeared, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from the direction of the Hongmeng Mountains.
A figure sped towards him, riding on the chaotic currents, surrounded by the four physical phenomena that had not yet been fully subdued—chaotic energy condensed into clouds beneath his feet, the laws of spacetime twisted and rippled around him, threads of fate appeared and disappeared, and illusory stars flickered with his breath.
It was Wang Xian.
He had just stabilized his injuries in the Hongmeng Mountains when he sensed that the energy tide outside the boundary suddenly subsided, and the emerald green bamboo shadow that pierced through the heavens and earth also disappeared without a trace.
A strange surge of emotion welled up in his heart, driving him to rush over without regard for anything else.
Wang Xian immediately noticed the chaos in the center of the battlefield—the torn fragments of spacetime had not yet healed, the remaining celestial essence was still burning, and the figure in the blue dress had vanished without a trace.
Wang Xian suddenly released his divine sense, activating all four of his physical constitutions simultaneously. His divine sense swept across billions of miles of chaos like a tidal wave. But neither the golden light remaining from the illusory image of the Jade Pavilion nor the traces left by the bamboo sword cutting through the void could find Mu Lingzhu's aura, as if she had never existed.
"how come……"
Wang Xian's shoulders slumped, her eyes filled with disappointment; she had arrived too late after all.
"Hey, little guy, who are you looking for?"
Yao Yao's lazy voice came from the side.
She leaned against a chaotic crystal, the stains on her blood-red dress still fresh, but a smile of amusement played on her lips.
When Wang Xian rushed over, she and Ye Zu both thought the kid was looking for them. After all, they had just gone through such a big battle and wanted to know what happened next.
Judging from Wang Xian's erratic glances, he clearly had another target in mind.
Ye Zu also abandoned his healing posture, his cloudy eyes filled with inquiry.
What kind of existence is Mu Lingzhu?
She was one of the oldest Dao Lords in the Heavenly Realm, and might even have been the creator of the Heavenly Realm. How could Wang Xian know her?
Only then did Wang Xian notice Yao Yao and Ye Zu. He quickly concealed his aura and cupped his hands, saying, "Yao Yao, Ye Zu, that person in the blue dress just now..."
"You're looking for her?" Yao Yao raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement flashing in her blood-red eyes. "You know Mu Lingzhu?"
"Mu Lingzhu!" Wang Xian repeated the name. "It really is her!"
It was as if two clusters of dancing stars had fallen into Wang Xian's pupils, and her breathing suddenly became rapid.
He clenched his fists unconsciously, his knuckles turning white from the force, and the chaotic energy around him stirred, even the faint light emanating from his celestial body flickered.
The image of that exquisitely beautiful little girl uncontrollably surfaced in his mind—her hair was styled in two buns, with a dot of emerald green bamboo pattern on her forehead, her eyes would curve into crescents when she smiled, she always loved to tug at his clothes and call him "Daddy," and she would also complain to him in a childish voice about Mu Lingzhu, saying that Mu Lingzhu always hit her palm with a bamboo stick.
That was a treasure that he and Mu Lingzhu risked their lives to retrieve from the river of time.
At that moment, the long river surged, and countless fragments of the future shattered like broken glass. Amidst countless possibilities, they grasped that faint glimmer of life and used their respective fundamental laws to forge a "life anchor" for her, barely managing to protect her in the present world.
At that time, Mu Lingzhu endured the attacks of many powerful beings in the river of time and space to protect her, and suffered extremely serious injuries.
Even so, their daughter was nothing more than a 'shadow of time and space'.
However, Mu Lingzhu said there was a way to bring their daughter back completely, but it would require returning to the Heavenly Realm.
Wang Xian stared in the direction where Mu Lingzhu had disappeared, his Adam's apple bobbing twice, but he ultimately said nothing more.
Ye Zu's hand, which was holding the oil lamp, suddenly sank, and the flame of the wick flickered violently three times, illuminating half of his face with intermittent light and shadow.
For the first time, clear shock appeared in his cloudy eyes, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth tightened: "Young friend Wang Xian, what's wrong with your expression..."
Yao Yao took a half step forward, her blood-red dress fluttering in the chaotic air currents. She leaned closer to Wang Xian, her nose almost touching his forehead, her blood-red pupils swirling with disbelief: "That look in your eyes just now... it wasn't just a simple reunion with an old acquaintance. Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Mu Lingzhu?"
The crimson mist swirling around her fingertips became chaotic, transforming from solid mist into countless tiny snake shadows that swirled restlessly in her palm.
Do you know what kind of existence Mu Lingzhu is?
He is a figure standing at the pinnacle of the celestial realm, the most mysterious and the most formidable among the nine oldest Dao Lords.
Back then, in the struggle for "the authority of order," many supreme beings in the Heavenly Realm fought to the death, until Mu Lingzhu finally swung her sword and cleaved the chaotic laws back onto the right track.
At that time, not only Wang Xian, but even Wang Xian's previous incarnation had not yet been born.
Even if a human from another universe caused chaos in the Heavenly Realm in his previous life, it would be impossible for him to have any connection with Mu Lingzhu.
It's like saying a carp that has just leaped over the Dragon Gate is related to the Dragon King of the East Sea by marriage. It's so absurd that Yao Yao can't help but laugh, but the sincerity in Wang Xian's eyes makes her unable to laugh.
"Don't try to evade the issue."
Yao Yao touched Wang Xian's brow with her fingertip, and a faint demonic law probed into his sea of consciousness, but did not attack. She simply shook it gently. "At our level, lies are like bright flames in chaos, easily seen through. You either explain yourself clearly or shut up. But I can't guarantee that I won't be so curious that I can't help but dig into your memories."
Night Ancestor nodded in agreement, and a wisp of black smoke drifted out of the oil lamp. The smoke circled in the air and transformed into a "oath" rune: "I swear by the laws of the night that if you tell the truth, we will never tell outsiders."
He was genuinely curious about the relationship between Wang Xian and Mu Lingzhu.
Wang Xian looked at the serious expressions of the two men, then looked down at her own palm.
The heat from refining the Qilin Milk still lingered in his palms—the temperature of power. But what surged in his heart now was something even hotter than power: concern, guilt, and a secret he had kept hidden for a long time.
Wang Xian took a deep breath, the chaotic energy flowing down his throat into his lungs, and then slowly exhaled, as if expelling the hesitation that had lingered for countless years.
"She and I..."
Wang Xian's voice was a little hoarse. She paused for a moment before continuing, "We have a daughter."
"boom--!"
These words struck the chaos like a thunderbolt.
Yao Yao was suddenly thrown back ten feet, and the scales on her blood-red dress stood up instantly, each one flashing with a shocking red light.
She opened her mouth, but found herself unable to speak. She could only stare intently at Wang Xian, as if looking at a monster that had suddenly grown three heads. The oil lamp in Ye Zu's hand fell to the ground with a "crack," cracking the lamp, but he was completely unaware of it.
His eyes widened, and for the first time, Wang Xian's figure was clearly reflected in his cloudy pupils. His lips trembled, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "You... what did you say? You and Master Zhu... have a daughter?"
This is even more outrageous than saying that the celestial realm should submit to the eternal universe!
Mu Lingzhu!
That's someone even the Ten Venerable Ones would respectfully address as "Master Bamboo"!
Her path is like a solitary bamboo, a sword that pierces through illusions, and steel that would rather break than bend. How could she possibly have offspring with a human?
Yao Yao finally regained her voice, but it was as shrill as a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Impossible! Wang Xian, are you crazy? Who is Mu Lingzhu? Don't even mention having children, she can't even have a Daoist partner!"
As she spoke, she paced back and forth, crimson snake shadows swirling around her: "Do you know how strong she was at her peak? Even when Night Ancestor and I were at our strongest, we couldn't last more than a hundred moves against her sword! And you? A little brat who hasn't even stepped into the 'Immortal Realm,' what makes you think you can do this?"
Night Ancestor nodded in agreement, picking up the oil lamp from the ground, his fingers trembling: "Although Daoist Bamboo is powerful, if you really had a daughter, how could she have hidden her until now? With so many eyes in the Heavenly Realm watching, it would have been common knowledge long ago."
Seeing their excited expressions, Wang Xian calmed down and began to recount everything that had happened between him and Mu Lingzhu.
Yao Yao and Ye Zu fell silent as they listened, their shock gradually turning into disbelief. Yao Yao, in particular, suddenly stopped and slapped her forehead: "No wonder! No wonder Mu Lingzhu wasn't looking at the Eternal Universe before she disappeared!"
She recalled the scene from just now—Mu Lingzhu's last glance at the Eternal Universe. Where was the indifference in that gaze? It clearly concealed a very faint tenderness that even she hadn't noticed. The point where that gaze landed was precisely in the direction of the Hongmeng Mountains, which was also where Wang Xian was!
"She's looking at you..."
Yao Yao murmured, a complex light flashing in her blood-red pupils.
Night Ancestor sighed, and the flame in the oil lamp finally stabilized: "No wonder she attacked the celestial phantom."
Wang Xian gazed in the direction where Mu Lingzhu had disappeared, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
"When I get stronger..." Wang Xian clenched his fist, the aura of the four physiques slowly flowing within his body, "One day, I will fight my way into the Heavenly Realm!"
Wang Xian chatted with Ye Zu and Yao Yao for a few more minutes before they dispersed.
Before leaving, Ye Zu handed the cracked oil lamp to Wang Xian: "Although this lamp is damaged, it can still draw upon the power of the Dao Domain in times of crisis. If you encounter a powerful opponent, it can at least hold them off for a while."
Before the words were finished, his figure had already merged into the chaotic shadows, leaving only a faint trace of the laws of night, leaving a faint ripple in the void.
Yao Yao yawned lazily, her blood-red dress transforming into a streak of light as she pierced straight into Wang Xian's inner world.
Wang Xian could clearly sense that as soon as she entered, she went straight to the location of the Immortal Lotus, presumably to use the Immortal Lotus to help her refine the celestial phantom she had devoured.
He shook his head helplessly, turned around and flew towards the Hongmeng Mountains. The four physical phenomena around his body gradually subsided during the flight, leaving only the faint light of the Star Body flowing on his body surface.
When they returned to the Hongmeng Mountains, the cave had already collapsed in the previous battle.
With a wave of Wang Xian's hand, chaotic energy and stellar power intertwined, and a new cave dwelling instantly rose from the ruins. Four-colored Dao patterns flowed on the walls of the cave dwelling, which were the original imprints of the four major physiques.
Sitting cross-legged on the jade bed, Wang Xian began to carefully analyze the surging power. The four divine statues within his body slowly rotated, emanating an increasingly solid pressure.
Meanwhile, countless powerful individuals have gathered on the battlefield at the edge of the 'Eternal Universe'.
The high priest of the beast race leaned on his new bone staff, gazing at the ravine that stretched for hundreds of millions of miles across the ground. The residual fluctuations of law within the ravine caused the runes on his bone staff to flash frequently: "This kind of destructive power is at least equivalent to a collision at the peak of the Heavenly Emperor level."
The beast warriors behind him gasped in shock. The residual energy emanating from the edge of the battlefield alone made these powerful beings at the level of a tenth-rank Immortal Emperor feel a chill run down their spines.
The Demon Lord hovered atop his obsidian throne, the afterimages of the battle constantly replaying in the magic mirror: "The celestial phantom... the laws of night... and that blood-red serpent..."
The demonic energy at his fingertips suddenly condensed into a snake shadow, which trembled violently as soon as it appeared, as if it had sensed some kind of terrifying aura.
"She's still alive."
The old Taoist priests of the ancient realm huddled together, their fingers seemingly calculating something, but they shook their heads repeatedly: "We can't figure it out. We can't figure it out at all... Everything in this area has been severed."
Just as the powerful figures were marveling at the situation, a celestial general clad in golden armor suddenly spoke up: "Have you all forgotten about the Divine Firmament Holy Court?"
He pointed to the 'Eternal Universe', where the faint outline of a dilapidated palace could be seen.
Upon hearing this, the entire room was stunned.
The orc high priest's eyes lit up: "Indeed, how could we have forgotten about that place? Since everyone is here, let's have a proper discussion!"
A secret realm containing countless ferocious beasts at the level of 'Ten-Turn Immortal Emperor' and 'Heavenly Emperor', and the strength of the beasts is relatively weak compared to others of the same level. Such a large piece of the pie definitely needs to be divided up carefully.
Some powerful figures proposed to explore together, some advocated relying on their own abilities, and others secretly contacted allies. Clearly, they all wanted a share of this opportunity, and the biggest share at that!
"Should we invite Immortal Wang?"
A young Immortal Emperor asked cautiously.
The high priest of the beast race sneered: "He's just a lucky guy who got some good fortune. How could he possibly participate in the Divine Firmament Holy Court's Beast Secret Realm?"
The Demon Lord chimed in, "Once we obtain the opportunity, we'll share the scraps with him."
"The powerful figures on the other side of the Chaos Sea will probably also get a share."
The Orc High Priest sighed.
The powerful figures remained silent.
They genuinely didn't want to share the opportunity of the Chaos Sea cultivators, but if a real fight broke out, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat them. Therefore, they still had to share the opportunity of the Chaos Sea's Beast Secret Realm with the Chaos Sea, and in equal measure.
In the Hongmeng Mountains, Wang Xian, who was familiarizing himself with his power, suddenly opened his eyes. His Destiny Body trembled slightly, clearly transmitting the discussions from the outside world into his mind.
"Dividing up the Beast Realm..." Wang Xian's lips curled into a cold smile, "Trying to exclude me?"
For other cultivators, those ferocious beasts at the 'Tenth-Rank Immortal Emperor' level and the 'Heavenly Emperor' level might just be experience points, but for him, they were the most important nutrients needed to improve his [Immortal Body].
Therefore, no matter what, he couldn't afford to miss it!
Moreover, he has a large number of direct descendants in his inner world that need to be cultivated, and the origin of the ferocious beast can be said to be the most perfect resource!
Wang Xian took a step forward, and his figure appeared outside the Hongmeng Mountains. Then, through his inner world, he appeared directly outside the 'Eternal Universe'!
