Chapter 1047: Chapter 132: That Shameless Old Man (4 Updates)

"The two of us didn’t ascend through tribulation, it was purely accidental," Yao Xinghai said, revealing something that shocked Mu Qingge.

Seeing Mu Qingge’s shocked expression, Yao Xinghai rarely joked, "To see you so surprised, our encounter this time was worth it."

Mu Qingge collected her surprise and asked seriously, "What happened?"

In theory, Si Mo personally acted to block the connection between the Divine Demon Continent and the Middle Ancient Realm, preventing anyone from the Divine Land from entering the Middle Ancient Realm to cause trouble, so there should have been no issues. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

So why did Yao Xinghai and Xi Qianxue still accidentally arrive at the Divine Demon Continent?

"Two years ago, it was said that another anomaly appeared at the ruins of the Divine Hall. Qianxue lived in the Xi Family, and just happened to conclude her cultivation, so she went to investigate. And I... was chasing after the ancestor, which brought me to the Central Continent and then to the ruins of the Divine Hall," Yao Xinghai recounted slowly.

"Lian Qiao!" When Yao Xinghai mentioned the ’ancestor,’ Mu Qingge murmured.

She suddenly realized, Si Mo had sealed the possibility of people from the Divine Land entering the Middle Ancient Realm. Unless the Divine Emperor personally tore through space to enter, there was no other way. This, in essence, unsealed Lian Qiao.

She no longer had to remain in the Alchemy Institute, relying on the Big Array to conceal her aura, worrying about being detected by those from the Divine Land, which could be detrimental to her.

"Did she run out?" Mu Qingge asked.

Yao Xinghai nodded, "After the ancestor couldn’t sense the power of the Divine Land, she ran out from the Alchemy Institute. I was ordered by my master to bring the ancestor back. But the ancestor headed straight for the Central Continent, entered Sky City, and went into the ruins of the Divine Hall. That’s where I met Xi Qianxue while pursuing her."

Yao Xinghai paused before continuing, "Thinking back, it’s my fault that she got involved. It should have been me alone chasing the ancestor, but when she heard I was looking for someone, she offered to help. We searched the ruins but found no clues. Suddenly, another anomaly appeared at the ruins, and we sensed it came from somewhere, so we rushed over to see. We discovered an ancient well, from which a rainbow light erupted, very eerie."

Mu Qingge’s eyes slowly narrowed. She had visited the ruins of the Divine Hall but had not found the well Yao Xinghai mentioned, suggesting it was indeed extraordinary.

"Faced with such a thing, we naturally had to investigate. Besides, I could feel the ancestor’s aura, seemingly in the well. But unexpectedly, a mutation occurred. As we approached the well, before we could see what was inside, a tremendous force pulled us in and we kept falling... falling... We didn’t know how far we were absorbed, but when we finally fell out, Xi Qianxue and I ended up in the West Divine Land," Yao Xinghai finished, his face turning bitter.

Mu Qingge listened with wide eyes. She could hardly imagine there was a mysterious well hidden in the ruins that could make one ascend directly to the West Divine Land.

Wait!

Suddenly, Mu Qingge remembered.

Previously, Mu Tianyin issued false orders to the Divine Hall; he had been active in the West Divine Land, so to transmit false orders, they must have been sent from the West Divine Land. Also, during her decisive battle with the Divine Hall, those two envoys from the Divine Land were also said by Si Mo to be from the West Divine Land. Coupled with the experiences of Yao Xinghai and Xi Qianxue... Mu Qingge seemed to have an eighty percent certainty that the power controlling the Middle Ancient Realm’s Divine Hall was from the Divine Domain on the West Divine Land!

The only thing unknown is, to which Divine Domain does the Middle Ancient Realm’s Divine Hall belong!

Mu Qingge’s thoughts spun in her mind. Meanwhile, Yao Xinghai continued recounting their experiences.

"Suddenly finding ourselves in the West Divine Land, Xi Qianxue and I were very shocked. At that time, I completely lost the ancestor’s trace, unsure if she was also sucked in and ended up in the West Divine Land. Because neither of us completed the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, our strength was low, and we could only blend into mortal cities to plan our next steps."

Yao Xinghai spoke simply, but Mu Qingge could imagine the hardships both of them endured at that time.

"Later, when we realized we couldn’t return, we couldn’t just survive aimlessly in mortal cities. Luckily, we had Spirit Roots and Divine Status, so after discussing, we decided to cultivate in the Divine Domain. Coincidentally, the Purple Light Domain was recruiting disciples, so we went there together."

Yao Xinghai laughed wryly before continuing, "Originally, the two of us were not accepted. But I revealed my Alchemy Skill, and we were then accepted into the Divine Domain. Initially, everything was fine as we started as the lowest disciples, focusing on cultivation every day, ignoring external matters, with the sole intent to raise our cultivation level to the standards of the Four Seas Divine Land."

"How long have you been in the Purple Light Domain?" Mu Qingge asked.

Yao Xinghai answered directly, "A year and a half. We stayed in the Mortal World for less than half a year."

He sighed and said with emotion, "It took us a year and a half to enter the Spirit Void Realm. Yet, such cultivation is still too weak among the disciples, too weak to protect ourselves. We’ve been keeping a low profile, but what was meant to happen, happened."

Hearing this, Mu Qingge knew that Yao Xinghai was finally getting to Xi Qianxue’s story. Why was she noticed by the Purple Light God Emperor and forcefully married?

"One day, I finished refining elixirs to be distributed to various places. Xi Qianxue had just come out of seclusion and volunteered to help me. I didn’t think much of it and let her go. Unexpectedly, not long after, she came rushing back, looking very upset. I asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn’t say. The next day, someone came and forcibly took her away. Soon after, news spread from the Divine Emperor Palace that the Divine Emperor was to take Xi Qianxue into the palace," Yao Xinghai said through gritted teeth.

A hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, visibly remorseful over the incident.

Perhaps he believed that if he hadn’t let Xi Qianxue deliver the elixirs, the subsequent events wouldn’t have occurred.

Bam!

Yao Xinghai’s fist suddenly slammed onto the table with a loud crash. He said with hatred, "The Purple Light God Emperor already has two hundred and eighty-nine wives and concubines, yet he won’t spare Xi Qianxue!"

"What!" Mu Qingge stood up in shock. She hadn’t expected the Purple Light God Emperor to have married so many wives already! "That old scoundrel!" she couldn’t help but curse.

He’s simply a lecherous beast; how could she let Xi Qianxue fall into a wolf’s den?

"In the past half month, I’ve tried everything but still haven’t seen Xi Qianxue. Later, I bribed someone who served her and found out she fiercely resisted but had her divine power sealed by the Emperor, kept under strict guard. I wanted to rescue her but couldn’t. Just then, I heard news of you, so I came," Yao Xinghai finished, lifting his head with eyes full of hope looking at her.
