Golden Court Mountain, Heavenly Decree Palace, Jade Room.
The Daoxing Tianzun yawned, a drowsy appearance. Sitting in front of her was a young woman in a yellow jacket. The woman’s features were beautiful, with an oval face complete with willow brows and thin red lips. Her facial features were exquisite, and her skin was white as snow. Those eyes in particular were particularly bright.
The young woman was currently in front of her, eloquent and glib, talking endlessly.
The Daoxing Tianzun had already forgotten what they were discussing, mostly likely something very trivial. Yes, the Daoxing Tianzun understood this little sister’s personality very well; she was most fond of lengthy chats and had a hobby of making new friends…Put more pleasantly, they were deepening their sisterly bond. Put bluntly, this was merely to share benefits. She had heard the Heavenly Decree Palace was harvesting the “Daydream” at the Thunder Swamp, and she had rushed over from the Eastern Continent without stopping.
“Elder Sister, what do you think about This Little Sister’s idea?” The young woman sipped tea, wishing to continue.
“Stop!”
The Daoxing Tianzun extended her hand. She was afraid that if she did not stop the young woman now, they would end up chatting for the night.
“Your meaning is that when This Tianzun picks the Daydream, you hope to also be present, to personally witness the results of the rumored Daydream, whether or not it may be able to predict the Register Of Deities?” The Daoxing Tianzun picked her ear.
“Oh, yes, Elder Sister. This Little Sister recently encountered a bottleneck in cultivation and was even injured capturing the ‘Tail Fire Beast’ not long ago. Elder Sister must help Little Sister.” The young girl batted her bright eyes, appearing very pure and innocent.
The Daoxing Tianzun was a bit vexed. She had but coveted this Daydream for a very long time and had waited with great difficulty for the time of the sun and moon’s phenomenon. It was for this reason that she made the Heavenly Decree Palace issue the Thunder Swamp kill order. No one from the Northern Continent’s Seven Great Sects or the Three Families was permitted to enter the Thunder Swamp, without exception. Otherwise, they would be killed without chance for reprieve. Of course, this so-called Heavenly Decree Order was a pleasant way of giving the sects and families’ cultivators a small way out; the Daoxing Tianzun had not plans at all to actually share.
These sects and families should also understand the ways of the world.
But…How could this little sister Divine Name be so clueless, or was this deliberate?
“Hao JIng, you are not forbidden from seeing this Daydream, but This Tianzun cannot guarantee that two people will be able to refine it.” The Daoxing Tianzun tactfully said.
“Ha, ha, I wish to see it. Elder Sister need not worry that I will compete for it.” The young lady pounded her chest in reassurance.
The Daoxing Tianzun sipped her tea, inwardly thinking, Your guarantee is as insignificant as your chest.
Just then, a disciple’s announcement came from outside the door.
“Reporting to the Tianzun, Commander Wei has something to report.”
“What trouble has she brought This Tianzun now, let her in.” The Daoxing Tianzun lowered her tone.
The girl beside her said with keen interest: “When Little Sister arrived, I heard that the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven had appeared and even killed some Divine Name of the Heavenly Decree Palace, Dulong, was it?”
Upon mentioning this, the Daoxing Tianzun’s expression instantly darkened.
“That monkey that caused a ruckus in the Heavenly Court back then has not only resurrected, she has even treated This Heavenly Decree Palace with extremely tyrannical contempt. She has contracted with a man, and that man, according to Wei Qing, is quite capable.”
“The Great Sage Equal Of Heaven has surprisingly contracted, huh. Hm, presumably that man must be exceptional, one in ten thousand. I really want to see him.” The girl’s eyes sparkled.
“This Tianzun will let Little Sister see his corpse.” The Daoxing Tianzun said disdainfully.
“Shall we report this to Elder Sister Yuanshi?”
“Now that the Register Of Deities is active again, the Three Doctrines are facing major tribulations. Elder Sister Yuanshi has other matters to attend to. There is no need to bother with something insignificant.” The Daoxing Tianzun refused, unable to stand the humiliation. She had been a powerful force in the Northern Continent for several thousand years, and she did not want her other sisters to learn she had requested for assistance. The Daoxing Tianzun had spent significant effort into expounding her sect to control the Northern Continent; she did not want her efforts to have all been in vain.
Hao Jing giggled, an indifferent appearance. “Now that I am here, I will definitely help Elder Sister.”
Wei Hu walked into the room and was slightly taken aback to see the sitting girl. Not daring to be discourteous, she respectfully said: “Wei Hu greets the Tianzun and the Zhenren.”
“How is the matter with sealing the Thunder Swamp that This Tianzun has tasked you with?” The Daoxing Tianzun asked.
“Everything has been very smooth. The Seven Great Sects and Three Families have already received information, and the lords of the Northern Continent’s kingdoms are aware of what they should do.” Wei Hu bowed: “The Heavenly Decree Palace will establish the ‘One Hundred Eight Law Protectors’ formation at the Thunder Swamp when the time comes. Any who enter without a Heavenly Decree Order will be killed without exception.”
“Then was is the matter now?” The Daoxing Tianzun flatly asked.
“Disciple has received information…The Great Sage Equal Of Heaven and her Divine Emissary have appeared in the Northern Continent.”
The Daoxing Tianzun snorted. That monkey dared to come here?
“Yes, she simply ignores the Heavenly Decree Palace and the Tianzun.” Wei Hu angrily said. “Why not go capture that monkey and cut her up right now.”
The Daoxing Tianzun was pensive, in no rush to use her orders.
“What is Elder Sister hesitating about?” Hao Jing asked.
“This Venerable has heard of Qi Lin. The Northern Primordial’s Xuanyuanshi has been coronated as the Yellow Emperor, and she battled against a certain Gonggong, shaking even the Northern Continent. And it is said that Qi Lin slayed the Divine Beast Fuzhu. His power is unfathomable, for even a tribal leader Divine King was willing to bless him.” The Daoxing Tianzun was not rash like Wei Hu. The woman played with a lock of her hair, which fell past her waist, pensive and deliberate.
Hao Jing was curious: “Can there be a man in Primordial World more outstanding than the Four Dukes?”
“To be able to sign a contract with the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven, does Little Sister Huanglong feel he is ordinary?”
Hao Jing nodded and rubbed her hands together, “Then This Zhenren must go see just how exceptional he is.”“Tianzun, can it be that we must let this Qi Lin tread into the Thunder Swamp, to ignore the Heavenly Decree’s restriction order?” Wei Hu was unreconciled. In the future, the Heavenly Decree Palace would lose prestige in the Northern Continent, which was very unfavorable for their proselytization.
“Now is the Invested Deities Star Era, how can This Venerable allow a man to challenge me?” The woman faintly grinned. The smile at the corner of her lips was especially sensual and captivating, as if everything was part of the plan.
“Issue an order to the Northern Continent’s Seven Great Sects and Three Great Noble Families. Have them dispatch Void Return cultivators to the Thunder Swamp. This Venerable shall allow it. If any of them are able to kill the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven and return with Qi Lin’s head, This Venerable shall confer unto them a ‘Daydream Petal.'”
The Daoxing Tianzun issued her command. The Northern Primordial wanted to borrow a knife to kill him, but she herself could make use of the Northern Continent’s sects.
“Why does Master Venerable send for Void Return cultivators? As far as This Disciple knows, these sects and noble families have many old hands at the Truth Return Four Symbols Realm.” Wei Hu was confused.
The Daoxing Tianzun smiled.
The Huang Long Zhenren sitting to the side giggled and answered for: “You simply do not understand. Truth Return Four Symbols cultivators develop Four Symbols abilities that are comparable to High Ancient Divine Realm. They are more likely to prevail over the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven, but this threatens the Daydream. Elder Sister does not want variables.”
“Besides, these sects and noble families all harbor ulterior motives. It is time to cull some elites and debilitate their power. This way, we can maintain the authority of the Heavenly Decree Palace.”
Wei Hu suddenly understood, “The Tianzun is wise. Disciple shall go take care of this.”
“Go.”
Northern Continent.
Fengqi Kingdom, Tiangui City.
Feng Clan.
Feng Canglan, head of the Feng Clan, received the information and several Heavenly Decree Writs that the Heavenly Decree Palace’s messenger had brought.
After reading the missive, Feng Canglan immediately summoned several of the clan’s important elders together for a meeting behind closed doors.
As one of the Northern Continent’s Three Great Noble Houses, the Feng Clan possessed an extremely high position in the Northern Continent. However, after the Register Of Deities activated, the Northern Continent’s nobility and sects all secretly competed fiercely against each other, to replace their counterparts. This time, in the face of the Heavenly Decree Palace’s command, Feng Canglan was also discussing countermeasures.
The Thunder Swamp was one of the Twelve Savage Regions from the Primal Chaos period. It produced precious materials as well as contained exotic beasts and plants. In particular, it would possess many magical flowers and grasses during the time both sun and moon were visible together. The Feng Clan originally had planned to use this opportunity to enter the Thunder Swamp and search for treasures to bolster the Feng Clan’s power, but they did not expect the Heavenly Decree Palace to issue an order that would ruin everything. Originally, several of the major noble families had quite a few complaints towards this kill order, but the Palace was too powerful. Now that the Register Of Deities was active, they could not afford to offend the Heavenly Decree Palace.
Originally, they had already planned to dispatch some disciples to retrieve whatever bits and pieces they could from around the Thunder Swamp, but they did not expect the Heavenly Decree Palace to issue another Heavenly Decree Writ.
This one commanded everyone to intercept and kill a cultivator named Qi Lin and the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven Sun Wukong; they may be able to obtain a petal of the Daydream.
The conditions were good, but…
“But what is the meaning behind the Daoxing Tianzun permitting only Void Return Cultivators to enter the Thunder Swamp?” An elder of the Feng Clan angrily said.
“How can such a Realm kill the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven.”
“Exactly. In any case, Great Sage Equal Of Heaven Sun Wukong caused a big stir in the Heavenly Court, and I heard that she also caused a commotion in the Northern Primordial and even killed the Fuzhu. I fear she is High Ancient Divine Realm.”
“The Daoxing Tianzun wants us to be cannon fodder.”
“Not necessarily. If the Great Noble Houses join forces, it is still possible to kill her.
The elders of the Feng Clan discussed.
“Shall we defer to the Ancestor for a decision?” An old man asked.
Feng Canglan said: “No, the Ancestor is in secluded cultivation. We cannot disturb him right now. Besides, informing the Ancestor is useless as the Heavenly Decree Palace makes clear only cultivators at Void Return Realm or lower can enter the Thunder Swamp.”
“We must go to the Thunder Swamp this time. If we do not, the other noble families will. Should they find some treasures in the Thunder Swamp at that time, then our Feng Clan will fall behind.”
“What Canglan says is reasonable, but these old bones have nearly broken through to Truth Return Four Symbols Realm. This Old Man has also happens to have reached a critical moment in cultivation.” An old man frowned. How could Feng Canglan not understand his implication. It would have been fine if they had gone to the Thunder Swamp during a normal time, but this was to go kill the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven. The old man was not very willing to go take a risk.
“We should send out an order and see which disciples are willing to go. We can also reward them.”
One elder’s proposal received approval. This way, their minds were at ease.
“Allow Huang’er to go.”
At this moment, an elegant voice entered the room.
The doors opened, and a young woman delicately walked in.
This girl was tall, and she wore a beautiful long skirt that exposed her shoulders and cleavage. The skirt featured the three colors of red, white, and yellow in a staggered gradient, appearing incomparably beautiful. The semi-transparent skirt trailed behind her like phoenix feathers, and peeking out from under the short skirt was a pare of beautiful jade-white thighs.
She wore a golden crown. Additionally, a phoenix emblem made of gold covered her chest while phoenix armor adorned her arms below the shoulders.
The girl appeared no more than sixteen or seventeen, yet her chest was plump and her gait graceful. She was imposing, beyond comparison with an actual empress.
Her appearance left the elders tongue-tied and staring. They were speechless.
This young girl was the Feng Clan’s number one genius, who was renowned throughout the Northern Continent. She was the belle pursued by countless young lords and the Phoenix Immortal Sword of the current “Four Immortal Swords” of Primordial World, Feng Huang’er.
