The Great Light Sovereign Deity chased after Gu Hai’s flying ship. However, he eventually lost the trail.
As the Great Light Sovereign Deity stood in the sky, he made an unsightly face.
“He’s gone? How did he disappear? Gu Hai can actually hide from me?” The Great Light Sovereign Deity showed an extremely sullen expression, sunk in utter disbelief.
However, there was no trace of Gu Hai in the vast sky, not even his aura.
“Consider yourself lucky. You won’t be so lucky if I see you again!” the Great Light Sovereign Deity said as he looked at the empty sky, feeling depressed.
Whoosh!
The angels in the distance also came this way.
The Great Light Sovereign Deity turned his head and looked at them sullenly. “Humph! Bunch of trash!”
His figure flashed, turning into a beam of azure light that shot away.
Lu Fa glared at the distant azure light and said, “The veritable lord’s guess is right. It is indeed the Great Light Sovereign Deity. He is colluding with Gu Hai. You go back quickly and report to the veritable lord.”
The Great Light Sovereign Deity flew to the blazing Eastern Monarch Palace.
“Reporting to Eastern Monarch, the Great Light Sovereign Deity seeks an audience!” a guard reported.
“Come in!” The Eastern Monarch’s voice came from the palace hall.
The Great Light Sovereign Deity stepped into the palace hall.
Now, the two columns of animal spirits frowned at the Great Light Sovereign Deity.
The Supreme Genesis and the Supreme Wa stood at the front.
The Supreme Genesis looked coldly at the Great Light Sovereign Deity, clearly blaming the Great Light Sovereign Deity for knocking out the two four-winged angels, which prevented him from rushing back in time and resulted in his two sons being held hostage.
On the other side, the Supreme Wa also looked coldly at the Great Light Sovereign Deity. The Supreme Genesis had immediately reported the matter to the Eastern Monarch when he returned. Although he believed that the Great Light Sovereign Deity was helping Gu Hai, she knew what the Great Light Sovereign Deity intended by doing that. The Great Light Sovereign Deity did not want her to know about Gu Hai being killed.
“Great Light Sovereign Deity, how capable of you!” the Supreme Genesis said coldly.
This slightly startled the Great Light Sovereign Deity. “Supreme Genesis?”
“Humph!” The Supreme Genesis flung out his sleeves, no longer looking at the Great Light Sovereign Deity. Instead, he turned to the Eastern Monarch, who was surrounded by flames.
“Eastern Monarch, Kong Xuan is your subordinate. It is not my place to deal with him. However, he caused my Revival Pool and my two sons to get captured today. Eastern Monarch, please get justice for me!” the Supreme Genesis called out loudly.
“Kong Xuan, is this the case?” the Eastern Monarch asked.
“Reporting to Master, I did stop two four-winged angels. However, I do not acknowledge any other accusations. It is all due to Yanxuan’s incapability, but he blamed it all on me,” Kong Xuan responded.
At the side, the Supreme Wa smiled coldly. “Hahahaha! Kong Xuan? You are becoming bolder. To think that your reach has extended to the Supreme Genesis Palace and the Supreme Wa Palace?”
The surrounding animal spirits did not dare to interject. The Supreme Genesis felt slightly startled. He is clearly causing harm to my Supreme Genesis’s line of inheritance. What does it have to do with your Supreme Wa’s line of inheritance? Then, the Supreme Genesis’s expression changed in the next moment as he understood everything. Then, he looked at the Supreme Wa in surprise.
The Supreme Wa had spoken in an icy tone with murderous intent radiating from her eyes.
On the throne, the Eastern Monarch immediately understood Kong Xuan’s intention. Kong Xuan had acted only to keep the Supreme Wa in the dark. Unexpectedly, things turned out like this.
“Supreme Wa, although Kong Xuan was wrong in this matter, he did it out of good intentions. Furthermore, this is not the time to talk about this. We need to fill those slots immediately. You had best make your preparations while it is early,” the Eastern Monarch said.
The Supreme Wa turned her head and narrowed her eyes at the Eastern Monarch, the Supreme Singularity.
“Oh? Given that, it means you agree with his actions?” the Supreme Wa said coldly.
The Supreme Wa’s back talk upset the Supreme Singularity.
“Supreme Wa, do you intend to forgo a slot by causing trouble at this time?” the Eastern Monarch asked coldly.
“Humph! I’m feeling upset. Even if you give me the world, I won’t care for it,” the Supreme Wa retorted coldly.
“How audacious!” the Eastern Monarch said coldly.
“Audacious? Well, my Supreme Wa’s line of inheritance does not want those slots. Keep them for yourself. Humph!” the Supreme Wa snorted coldly. Then, she flung her sleeve out and immediately flew out of the palace hall.
Several animal spirits in the palace hall promptly followed after her.
When the Supreme Wa argued with the Supreme Singularity, Kong Xuan’s expression turned stiff. He lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
“Humph!” the Supreme Singularity snorted coldly as he slammed his hand on the throne’s armrest in anger.
Boom!
The animal spirits in the palace hall did not dare to speak.
The Supreme Genesis took a deep breath but did not say anything.
Only after a while did The Supreme Singularity look at the Supreme Genesis and ask, “Supreme Genesis, what did Gu Hai ask for when he held your two sons hostage?”
Gu Hai’s request? He wanted Bing Ji safe. However, the Supreme Genesis did not want to blow up the matter. After all, his two sons were still in Gu Hai’s hands.
“Eastern Monarch, rest assured. I can deal with it,” the Supreme Genesis replied indifferently.
“Alright.” The Eastern Monarch nodded, clearly no longer concerned about the matter.
In an extremely dark valley in the Solar Divine Palace:
Many animal spirits stood around the valley, guarding a huge prison on the valley floor.
Bing Ji sat cross-legged in the prison.
Wisps of cold energy rose from her body. The cold energy hovered above her head, slowly condensing an ice crow.
Just at this moment, a yellow-robed man sauntered into the prison.
This man wore yellow Daoist robes and carried a large yellow calabash on his back as he strolled over.
“Salutations, Crown Prince!” the animal spirit soldiers in the surroundings greeted respectfully.
Ignoring the guards, that man went to the prison entrance.
The animal spirit soldiers immediately opened the prison and let him in.
The man’s eyes were cold, giving off an arrogant air at all times.
As he stood in the prison, he looked down at Bing Ji from above.
“Since you are already awake, stop pretending,” the man said indifferently.
Buzz! Bing Ji’s eyes opened. She looked coldly at the yellow-robed man carrying a calabash.
“Lu Ya? What are you doing here?” Bing Ji’s eyes widened.
Lu Ya said coldly, “Gu Hai came earlier.”
“What? You are lying.” Bing Ji’s expression changed.
“Lying? What’s there to lie about? Gu Hai caused a big commotion in Heaven City, capturing Yehua and Yanxuan to force the Supreme Genesis not to marry you off. Hah! It looks like this paramour of yours is not completely useless?” Lu Ya said indifferently.
“Why are you telling me this?” Bing Ji asked coldly.
“No reason. Both of us are Father’s children. I have no fetters because I am strong enough. You can only be taken advantage of because you are weak. Isn’t that right?” Lu Ya said indifferently.
“Humph! What are you trying to say?” Bing Ji said coldly.
“You are an abnormality in the golden crow’s line of inheritance. To think that you formed the frost crow, a lunar soul. The rest of us all have a solar soul. Although you have to cultivate differently, you have a special quality. Father does not care about you, but I do. Follow me, and I can bring you out of this prison. Heed my commands, and I can help your cultivation soar,” Lu Ya said.
“Heed your commands? Haha! Hahahaha! I listened to the Supreme Singularity because of Mother, doing things I do not like. What is the difference if I listen to your commands now? Can you bring Mother back to life?” Bing Ji said coldly.
“Back to life? That was the Supreme Genesis’s lie. You actually believed that? Father consumed your mother’s spiritual souls long ago, refining them into his body,” Lu Ya said indifferently.
Bing Ji bit her lips. Pain flashed in her eyes.
“Father used your mother as a hostage against you to make you do things you do not like? Hah! You are truly loyal and filial. I wonder if that Gu Hai can make you do that again?” Lu Ya said coldly.
“What did you say?” Bing Ji’s expression turned cold.
“I’m saying that if you do not obey me, I will kill Gu Hai. Do you believe that?” Lu Ya said indifferently.
Bing Ji’s eyelids twitched wildly. Cold sweat immediately appeared on her forehead.
Lu Ya did not rush her, waiting patiently.
“Why should I heed your commands?” Bing Ji asked as she bit her lips.
“The solar is extreme Yang, and the lunar is the extreme Yin. This is the great Dao of harmony between Yin and Yang, leading to the primal chaos. If I can figure it out, I can create another Solar Divine Palace,” Lu Ya said.
Bing Ji’s pupils constricted.
“Have you thought it through?” Lu Ya looked at Bing Ji coldly.
“I don’t trust you.” Bing Ji shook her head.
“Oh?”
“I don’t trust in your capabilities. If you can capture Gu Hai alive, I’ll heed your commands. What do you think?” Bing Ji said through clenched teeth as her eyes turned bloodshot.
“It is settled, then.” Lu Ya smiled faintly. Then, he turned and left the prison.
The surrounding animal spirit soldiers did not dare to say anything. They did not even dare to report Lu Ya’s arrogant declaration to their superiors.
Lu Ya was the sixth of the ten crown princes of the Solar Divine Palace. He was the most ferocious and ruthless golden crow crown prince. He once destroyed two imperial dynasties by himself.
After Lu Ya left, Bing Ji suddenly slumped to the ground.
“Your Majesty, it is not that this subject is sending a powerful enemy your way. Once Lu Ya targets someone, he will definitely kill them. Furthermore, he knows many strange techniques and is hard to guard against. I sent him to capture you, not kill you. That is so that I can give you a chance to acquaint yourself with him. You definitely can deal with him. I believe you definitely can deal with him,” Bing Ji said with clenched fists as worry filled her eyes.
The south of the Divine Continent was the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s territory.
In a lush mountain forest:
Xuan En led a group of Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples as they looked at a palace hall on the distant mountain.
Xuan En narrowed his eyes slightly. “Did you see right?”
“It was indeed right. Elder Xuan En, we did not dare do anything while you were in closed-door cultivation. One month ago, the Grand Mohist appeared like an ordinary person. Back then, a wolf spirit went crazy and pounced on the Grand Mohist. However, she did not fight it, falling over in a miserable fashion. If not for Holy Daughter Waner making a move, the Grand Mohist would have died to that wolf spirit’s claws!” one of the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples said.
“That wolf spirit was only in the Innate Realm. Just the Innate Realm. Even this disciple could have crushed it with my fingers. However, the Grand Mohist ended up in a sorry state before it. Elder, this…”
The few Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples recalled the various scenes that happened over the past month.
“Her Dao heart broke, causing her cultivation to plummet? The Grand Mohist? She is no longer suitable to be the Grand Mohist!” Xuan En said with narrowed eyes.
“Indeed. The Grand Mohist is no longer suitable to be the Grand Mohist. Elder Xuan En, did you improve further?” A cold glint flashed in the eyes of a Supreme Ascendant Dao disciple.
Naturally, Xuan En understood what that disciple was hinting at. However, he felt a chill out of nowhere as he suddenly recalled Gu Hai’s face brimming with murderous intent.
“Wait some more!” Xuan En clenched his fist.
In that palace hall on that mountain:
Fairy Waner looked at the Supreme Ascendant Dao’s Grand Mohist sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat.
“Master, how do you feel now?” Fairy Waner asked worriedly.
“I don’t know. The more I resisted, the faster I lost my cultivation. My cultivation nearly completely disappeared one month ago. Had you not helped me, Master might have…,” the Grand Mohist said with an unsightly expression.
“However, during the past two days, I seemed to have sensed that Master had cultivated to…,” Fairy Waner said in confusion.
“Indeed. I have recovered to the Golden Core Realm. Furthermore, I am quickly recovering more with each day,” the Grand Mohist said with a frown.
“Why?” Fairy Waner asked out of curiosity.
The Grand Mohist shook her head.
“Waner, go bring my zither over,” the Grand Mohist instructed.
“Alright.” Fairy Waner nodded and walked out of the palace hall.
This left the Grand Mohist sitting alone. As she looked at the vast, blue sky outside, she revealed a faint, bitter smile. “My cultivation is recovering quickly? I had already accepted my fate and stopped resisting that demonic image in my heart. However, why is it that when I stopped resisting, my cultivation returned? Could I have cultivated wrong in the past? Does the Supreme Ascendant’s indifference not refer to the Supreme Ascendant being emotionless and heartless?”
