Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

In despair, the Tongxuan Realm powerhouses of the various Sacred Lands were all trapped in the Qianyuan Divine Province, unable to leave, and the Saints from other Divine Provinces did not wish to enter.

Looking down at the Yuanming Divine State under her feet, Saint Ji Mingyue let out a soft sigh.

How glorious was the Qianyuan Divine Province in ancient times?

If it wasn’t for the plotting of grand schemes that led to the downfall of the Qianyuan Divine Province—where the Saints, Great Emperors, and Heavenly Immortals of various Sacred Lands all perished under the light of the Immortal Sword—it wouldn’t have declined to such a state.

Even the subsidiary Divine Provinces like Yuanming Divine State had been reduced to such dire straits.

Ji Mingyue could empathize somewhat, as the Huangyue Imperial Empire had also nearly fallen amidst the chaos. Fortunately, the Empress of Huangyue emerged, leading the empire to revival and its now revered status in the Endless Yuankun Domain as one of the strongest forces among the Eight Hundred Divine Regions.

Then, Saint Ji Mingyue began to take action, searching for the split soul of the Empress of Huangyue within the vast and boundless Yuanming Divine State.

The Empress of Huangyue had given her an item which, if it came within ten thousand miles of the Empress’s split soul, would produce a slight response; the closer it got, the clearer the response.

It was with this item that Saint Ji Mingyue felt confident in finding the split soul of the Empress of Huangyue.

As she moved through the Yuanming Divine State, she did not conceal her tracks. Naturally, the various powers in Yuanming Divine State noticed the figure of Saint Ji Mingyue but were extremely wary and dared not say anything.

Even the Saints within the Saint Abyss Realm Power were the same.

Saint Ji Mingyue represented the Empress of Huangyue, and she might even carry an Emperor’s weapon. If they were to obstruct her, they would offend the Empress of Huangyue.

Were the Empress of Huangyue to become enraged, the Yuanming Divine State would be razed, and all Saint Abyss Realm Powers would perish.

As Saints, they were acutely aware of the Empress of Huangyue’s domineering strength, being one of the mightiest in the Endless Yuankun Domain.

After searching for a month, Saint Ji Mingyue sighed. Yuanming Divine State had none.

In that month, she had explored Yuanming Divine State dozens, even hundreds of times, but failed to find the split soul of the Empress of Huangyue.

In the next instant, the figure of Saint Ji Mingyue disappeared from Yuanming Divine State and went toward the next Divine Province.

She could investigate each Divine Province in at most a month and in just over three years she would have explored all thirty-seven Divine Provinces thoroughly.

If she was lucky, she might complete the task assigned by the Empress of Huangyue after only searching a few Divine Provinces.

Failure to complete the task would lead to punishment upon her return, but success meant she would be richly rewarded by the Empress of Huangyue.

One month prior.

The Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing left from the Myriad Demon Mountain of the Demon Clan, carrying the Supreme Grade Divine Weapon, Heavenly Moon Wheel, and arrived in the Xuan Domain.

She did not conceal her form as her visit was to deal with a matter in the Xuan Domain and resolve the issue with Chen Xilai of the Heavenly Blade. The Four Great Sacred Lands of the Human Clan would not openly target her.

After arriving in the Xuan Domain, Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing immediately employed a Secret Technique to sense the contingency she left on the Female Demon King Bai Keqing.

However, Xue Yueqing failed.

“What’s going on?”

In the heavens, Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing’s brows furrowed slightly, her eyes flashing with a trace of suspicion.

She could not sense the contingency she left with the Female Demon King Bai Keqing, yet Xue Yueqing knew it was still intact, which surprised her.

There was only one possibility, Bai Keqing was in the midst of a grand formation, and the level of that formation was very high, at least at the peak of the Tongxuan Realm, so as to isolate her senses.

But how could that be possible?

Ye Fan, who had rescued Bai Keqing from the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm seven years ago, was merely at the peak of the True Martial Realm, and perhaps only had the combat ability of the peak of the True Martial Realm. How could he set up a grand formation that was at least of a supreme Divine Rank quality?

Even she, the Demon Emperor of Myriad Demon Mountain, could not set up such a formation, as the materials required were too costly, and she was not willing to part with them unless she utilized the resources of Myriad Demon Mountain.

Yet, Bai Keqing had disappeared.

Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing was certain that Bai Keqing was within the Xuan Domain, but at this moment she could not find her.

“Could there be deceit involved?” A trace of unrest flickered in Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing’s heart.

But very quickly, she dismissed this trace of unrest. A Wu Emperor at the peak of the True Martial Realm, even if he had broken through to the Divine Yuan Realm in these past few years, could not possibly be her opponent.

Not to mention, Xue Yueqing was carrying the supreme-grade Divine Weapon, the Heavenly Moon Wheel.

The Heavenly Moon Wheel resonated well with her, and they had already established a connection. With a mere thought from her, the Heavenly Moon Wheel would fully awaken and unleash the combat ability of the Saint Abyss Realm.

“Forget it, there is still time, I will search slowly.”

Giving Dangyang Mountain a glance, Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing sighed and decided to start searching.

With more than a year left, if she truly could not find her, then she had no choice but to temporarily give up. She could not afford to let the search for Bai Keqing delay the eradication of demons at Dangyang Mountain.

Now, Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing did not know if she could find Bai Keqing. Although the Xuan Domain was about half the size of the Demon Domain, it still spanned over five hundred million li.

The grand formation had blocked her senses, she would need to be within a thousand li, or even a hundred li from Bai Keqing to sense her location.

Casting aside distracting thoughts, Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing vanished on the spot and commenced her journey to find the female Demon King, Bai Keqing.

In another place, Chengsheng Mountain.

Han Li was standing on Chengdao Peak, thinking about the matter of Dangyang Mountain and how he planned to take advantage of the chaos to capture either Fairy Qingshuang or Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing.

Suddenly, he turned his gaze in a certain direction of the Xuan Domain, his eyes filled with surprise and joy.

It really was like speaking of Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing and having her show up on his doorstep.

Now, his Divine Sense was always covering the entire Daqian Empire, and he had no reason to deliberately extend it any further. It wasn’t needed.

But unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise.

His Divine Sense had just detected a powerful aura passing by the edge of the Daqian Empire. Swiftly, it left the borders of the Daqian Empire and entered the territory of the Da Jing Imperial Empire.

Han Li immediately expanded his Divine Sense, instantaneously covering a radius of twenty million li, locating the passing figure.

After just one observation, Han Li confirmed that the Divine Yuan Realm Wu Emperor was Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing from Myriad Demon Mountain.

It’s just that Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing did not conceal her figure and didn’t make too much effort to hide her aura either, her demonic energy was too strong, making it difficult for Han Li not to recognize her.

“Truly heaven helps the old ancestor!” Han Li’s face showed joy as he disappeared from Chengdao Peak.

Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing had delivered herself to him ahead of time, now he could capture her. When the incident at Dangyang Mountain erupted, Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing might have already borne him several children.

By then, capturing Fairy Qingshuang of Penglai Immortal Sect wouldn’t be so conspicuous.
