Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

The lord of Emperor Wu’s City did this intentionally. If he were to sneak in, any major disturbance would be too great. After all, this sealing was conducted by the rulers of the previous generation of the Sacred Lands, and multiple Sacred Soldiers were used.

If the various Sacred Lands came to break the seal, to deal with Chen Xilai and take the opportunities, he could take advantage of the chaos.

As he had expected, with Chen Xilai deprived of the Heavenly Evil Orb, the Sacred Lands did not place much importance on him, only sending a Divine Yuan Realm martial emperor to handle the matter and collect the opportunities.

This suited him. With his Tongxuan Realm cultivation, he could dominate the scene at that time. Of course, unless necessary, the lord of Emperor Wu’s City would not reveal his Tongxuan Realm cultivation level.

What he needed was Chen Xilai’s physical body, dead or alive, while the Divine Yuan Realm martial emperors of the various Sacred Lands were after the opportunities stolen from Chen Xilai, which he did not care for, hence the likelihood of conflict between them was very small.

Chen Xilai’s body, having been tempered by the Heavenly Evil Orb for a thousand years, would be a great asset if he could obtain it. Moreover, with his secret technique, he was very confident of finding the Heavenly Evil Orb again, as it had, after all, followed him for tens of thousands of years.

“Once I retrieve the Heavenly Evil Orb, I will have the confidence to attempt ascending to the Heaven Imperial Realm again. This life, I am determined to succeed,” murmured the lord of Emperor Wu’s City, his eyes cast down.

In Emperor Wu’s City, he had sat idly for eight hundred years under this identity; on the surface, his cultivation level had not advanced an inch, remaining forever at the True Martial Realm’s Sixth Heaven. No one would suspect him concerning the affairs of Dangyang Mountain.

After all, how could a mere mid-True Martial Realm possibly break the Formation restrictions laid down by several Tongxuan Realm experts wielding Sacred Soldiers?

Demon Region.

Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing traversed from the void to this place in a very short time.

This time, she did not make a grand entrance as she had in the Xuan Domain but concealed her presence. This was partly to avoid the enemy lurking in the shadows watching her, and partly to avoid being ambushed by the Demon Emperors of the Demon Region.

Some Divine Yuan Realm Demon Emperors who practiced demonic ways but retained their sanity naturally would not act rashly against her, lest it provoke a war between the two great Sacred Lands.

But within the Demon Region, there was a fellow whose sanity was nearly gone, acting insane and fearlessly on a regular basis. If not for the overlord of the Heavenly Demon Hall keeping him in check, he would have wreak havoc upon the entire Demon Region by now.

If she were to boldly transit through the Demon Region, she would likely be attacked by that demented Demon Emperor, putting her at a disadvantage. After all, she was being covertly observed by a powerful enemy. Xue Yueqing did not know if this shadowy foe had left, but she was not willing to take the risk.

With the Supreme Grade Divine Weapon, the Heavenly Moon Wheel, she concealed her aura and form and, with its help, moved rapidly towards Myriad Demon Mountain.

Crossing billions of miles within the Demon Region with the assistance of the Heavenly Moon Wheel, Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing took a much shorter time than on the outward journey by manyfold.

When she arrived at the border between the Demon Region and the Demon Domain, Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the enemy lurking in the shadows had likely departed, daring not to pursue her any further.

Yet Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing dared not let her guard down and was about to continue moving rapidly, aiming to return to Myriad Demon Mountain as soon as possible, where she would be absolutely safe.

She was about to move, but suddenly her expression drastically changed. Her movement was interrupted, and her figure stopped in place. One must know that this was teleportation assisted by a Supreme Grade Divine Weapon, not even a Tongxuan Realm power could interrupt it.

Before Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing had time to ponder, she found the environment around her change in an instant, entering a strange new world. This unexpected transition caused a surge of malice within her, making her, a Divine Yuan Realm demon emperor, feel a chill down her spine.

“Yue Ji, do you notice anything?”

Taking a deep breath, Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing, who had not detected any trace of the enemy and trying to remain calm, maintained her vigilance while inquiring the Artifact Spirit of the Heavenly Moon Wheel.

By now, the full prowess of the Artifact Spirit of the Heavenly Moon Wheel had recovered. Still, it could not shake the great Formation, and no disturbances could be communicated to the outside world.

“This is bad, Xue Yueqing, we might have encountered an Emperor Rank Weapon.”

The figure of a stunningly beautiful girl wearing a moon-white palace dress appeared within the round moon formed by the Heavenly Moon Wheel, looking like a young girl speaking anxiously to Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing.

Though powerful was the Formation, she was no pushover. Her true form was incredibly strong; at worst, they were of the same level. Any clash would usually create noise detectable from outside, but Yue Ji felt nothing.

This indicated that a more potent weapon enveloped this place, concealing all disturbances. It was not an Emperor Rank Weapon; it was a Quasi Emperor Weapon, many times mightier than her true form.

Upon hearing this, Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing’s heart skipped a beat, and her beautiful features hidden behind light gauze became extremely grim.

Despite all her precautions, she had been outmaneuvered. She did not expect the opponent to possess an Emperor Rank Weapon and lie in ambush at the border of the Demon and Devil Regions.

Such meticulous preparation by the other party meant that, even though she had not been the slightest bit negligent, she would still be unable to escape, inevitably trapped within this huge Formation.

“Yue Ji, please keep to your fully recovered state, stay on guard for any surprise attacks. If we make it back to Myriad Demon Mountain, I will replenish your energy,” Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing said with a grave voice, her own guard up to the highest level.

“Alright,” Yue Ji instantly agreed.

At this moment, she and Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing were in the same boat. She needed to give her all to possibly escape this dire situation.

Fully recovering for battle would deplete the energy she had accumulated, something she normally wouldn’t utilise, requiring Xue Yueqing to supply her with energy. Although she favoured Xue Yueqing, she was not about to make a losing deal.

After all, she belonged to Myriad Demon Mountain, not to Xue Yueqing. It was only once Xue Yueqing obtained her from the ruler of Myriad Demon Mountain that she would be able to serve Xue Yueqing wholeheartedly.
