Chapter 852: Indeed
Chapter 852: Chapter 852: Indeed Yuan Zhongqi was speechless.
Indeed.
Xu Qingfeng is a madman.
If he weren’t mad, he wouldn’t have carried out a bloodbath across the seventeen Holy Lands just before the fall of the Emperor Epoch.
While it can serve as a warning to others.
The greater the suppression, the greater the risk of backlash later.
Yet Yuan Zhongqi still couldn’t understand why Uncle Yuan Chao thought Great Emperor Qingfeng would make such a ’suicidal’ choice.
Life.
Is one’s own.
The Immortal Domain is not.
Why die for the Immortal Domain?
"The ancestor can see things clearly."
Yuan Zhongqi held his head in his hands and laid directly on the ground.
He didn’t care that this place was a shrine used by the Tian Gui Tribe to collect the power of incense fire, and that his actions were highly disrespectful to the Great Emperor Tiangui.
Yuan Chao remained silent.
Since a cycle ago, the Immortal Domain has been a place where people are swallowed whole, unchanged.
As long as eternal life can be achieved, the Great Emperors peering at the end of cultivation would even destroy the Immortal Domain and abandon everything they have.
But there are still a few outliers who wish to make the heartless Immortal Domain a bit better.
Yet they...
Failed utterly, even in death.
Among them was Xu Qingfeng, the Empress from the Yun Clan struggling at death’s door, and the Empress from the Star Tribe who inexplicably perished.
Counting them...
Yuan Chao turned his head to look at the wooden plaque on the table.
It bore four characters.
Tian Gui Yuan Yin!
This Quasi-Emperor of the Tian Gui Tribe’s Second Heaven knew he and his kin were just pawns in the ancestor’s hand, to be discarded at any moment.
The Other Shore behind the Realm Gate...
He.
Would probably never see it.
However, Yuan Chao harbored no resentment.
Because of the Immortal Domain.
It has always been this way.
Never changed.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz."
The wooden plaque buzzed continuously, with large volumes of incense fire gushing into the censer.
Yuan Zhongqi licked his lips, bloodthirsty: "Those several Great Emperors of Incense Fire from the Immortal Domain, with incense fire declining sharply over the years, I wonder how much strength they can still maintain."
"A starved camel is still bigger than a horse. You just stepped into the Seven Heavens, don’t dream big."
"If I remember correctly, you are only at the Second Heaven."
"..."
Yuan Chao didn’t respond.
Yuan Zhongqi suddenly sat up straight, eyes fixed intently on the incense wood plaque: "Yuan Chao, look."
"Look at what?"
Yuan Chao came back to his senses and entered the bone house, seeing the incense wood plaque slightly trembling, and immediately sneered.
The incense wood plaque not only collects the purest faith and incense of all beings, but also detects negative emotions like killing intent and hatred towards the ancestor from cultivators of the Immortal Domain.
These.
Are destabilizing factors that must be eliminated.
Low boundary cultivators would be handled by their believers.
High boundary cultivators were their task to silently resolve.
Based on past experience, the trembling of the incense wood plaque usually indicated that a Celestial Venerable pinnacle boundary or Immortal Venerable boundary cultivator harbored hatred or killing intent towards the ancestor.
"Overestimating themselves."
Yuan Zhongqi scoffed, too lazy to act on anything below a Quasi-Emperor.
"Notify Purple Star Palace—"
His words were cut short.
Yuan Chao suddenly remembered that Purple Star Palace and other Holy Lands had already been obliterated under the Heavenly Court’s army for months.
"What a pity."
Yuan Chao sighed, the knife of Purple Star Palace had been quite useful.
He dumped out a pile of jade slips from the storage space, each inscribed with the name of a different power.
There were the top-tier Holy Lands of the first echelon in the Immortal Domain, and major powers barely touching the threshold of Holy Land.
The number of jade slips was a staggering hundreds per set!
"Which one to choose?"
Yuan Chao casually waved his hand, two jade slips rose out of thin air, divine sense transmitted within.
"Something’s off."
Yuan Zhongqi’s expression grew increasingly grave.
Because the incense wood plaque was trembling more and more violently.
Yuan Chao remained calm: "No matter how off it seems, it can’t break. This was personally refined by the ancestor, existing since a cycle ago."
Before he could finish.
A crisp cracking sound was heard, a crack visible to the naked eye appeared on the incense wood plaque.
"..." Yuan Chao.
Yuan Zhongqi turned to glance at Uncle Yuan Chao.
Yuan Chao coughed: "No matter, it should not be the Celestial Venerable or Immortal Venerable, but a Quasi-Emperor between the Second and Fourth Heavens, just kill him, haven’t you dealt with Quasi-Emperors before?"
"Crack"
The crack on the incense wood plaque deepened further.
"Could it be a Quasi-Emperor above the Fifth Heaven? But that shouldn’t cause such a large crack, it’s unlikely to be the Nine Heavens of the Quasi-Emperor, right?"
Yuan Chao said seriously: "But then again, several Holy Lands like Purple Star Palace were in the Eastern Immortal Domain, could it be Fairy Qing Yuan has murderous intent towards the ancestor?"
"I don’t know, I only care about killing."
Yuan Zhongqi stood up and through the incense wood plaque saw that the location of the irreverent was...
The Eastern Immortal Domain!
Yuan Zhongqi’s gaze was fixed on Yuan Chao, Fairy Qing Yuan resided in the Eastern Immortal Domain.
"It should just be a coincidence."
In embarrassment, Yuan Chao saw the positioning of the incense wood plaque becoming increasingly precise, no longer targeting the entire Eastern Immortal Domain, but constantly drifting towards the most east.
Having completely drifted away from Fairy Qing Yuan’s Green Sect.
Yuan Chao wanted to say something.
Yuan Zhongqi’s forehead veins stood out: "Shut your crow’s tongue!"
Yuan Zhongqi was terrified, if the crack on the incense wood plaque grew any larger, the speed at which incense fire power was absorbed would greatly decrease.
If the ancestor were to blame, how could he bear it?
Yuan Chao was somewhat displeased.
Though his boundary was low, he was after all Uncle Yuan Zhongqi, and the younger generation nowadays had no respect for elders.
Besides.
He wasn’t at the Emperor Realm, how could his words come true?
Yuan Chao snorted coldly: "It’s like whoever I say it is, it is. I still think it’s Great Emperor Qingfeng with murderous intent."
The incense wood plaque showed no abnormalities.
Yuan Zhongqi was initially tense, then quietly breathed a sigh of relief; by now, the positioning was already extremely precise.
Their divine senses saw a star they had never seen before.
Covered by a formation circulating with countless starlights outside the star, annihilating every living thing approaching.
This is.
Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation!
Seeing the formation, Yuan Zhongqi inhaled sharply; Great Emperor Qingfeng truly chose the path of bearing the karma tribulation.
Wait a minute.
Could it be...
Yuan Zhongqi became vigilant.
"Though there is Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation, it should not be Great Emperor Qingfeng, otherwise the wood plaque wouldn’t only have a crack... right?"
Yuan Chao hesitated to speak.
The next second.
The incense wood plaque silently shattered into countless wood debris, with an imperial aura vaguely dissipating among them, fleeting.
"..."
Yuan Zhongqi looked expressionless at Uncle Yuan Chao.
Yuan Chao’s expression was marvelous, that imperial aura was not the ancestor’s, therefore...
It truly was Great Emperor Qingfeng???
"No wonder he is at the Emperor Realm, even the killing intent can explode the magic artifact refined by the ancestor."
Facing that somewhat chilly gaze, Yuan Chao softly said: "Don’t panic, though the incense wood plaque shattered, our location should not have been exposed, Great Emperor Qingfeng can’t find us."
"Whizz!"
Before he could finish listening.
Yuan Zhongqi directly turned into a stream of light and left the place, not daring to stay even a second longer.
Yuan Chao shouted at Yuan Zhongqi’s retreating figure: "This place is an absolute secret, aside from the safest quarters in Samsara Sea, absolutely no one can find it!"
"Indeed, but this old man has been searching for a full three months."
An elderly voice resonated throughout the entire star.
