Chapter 1404 - 644: One Old, One Young

Chen Xuan’s words shook the heart of the mysterious man sentence by sentence.

Once the words were spoken!

He felt his whole body go limp, no longer daring to harbor any dissent.

"This incident isn’t just about Jidao Mountain; top-tier sects from the Upper Domain have all participated."

The mysterious man slowly began to speak.

"And we... the ten races, were activated due to a contingency plan left behind. In truth... we are beings pieced together to form life!"

Piecemeal?

Isn’t that just a half-breed?

But this method... creating life, made Chen Xuan deeply shocked.

"The one contacting me this time is from Jidao Mountain."

"Ten races, ten totems, representing the ten sects of the Upper Domain."

"Find the weak points of space nodes and inscribe the totems."

"Activating the ten totems simultaneously will allow us to resonate with the ten sects of the Upper Domain. Although we can’t break through the space barrier between the two realms directly, we can greatly weaken it."

"When that time comes, they can reach the Lower Domain much faster."

"Then what is their objective? What in the Lower Domain interests them?" Chen Xuan asked.

Even if he had killed an Elder Zhan of Jidao Mountain,

it’s troubling that all ten sects are involved.

"The Supreme Domain has treasures to repair the World Tree, but I don’t know the specifics."

Upon hearing this!

Chen Xuan’s heart skipped a beat, wasn’t this treasure the World Tree itself?

But how did the Upper Domain know about it?

"Also, the Upper Domain seems to be in a hurry! But this is just my speculation!"

Given the situation, the mysterious man decided to share his guess as well.

"In a hurry?"

Chen Xuan murmured, if true, the Upper Domain’s situation should be similar to the Supreme Domain’s.

"The World Tree is truly in big trouble."

"Oh right!"

He asked again, "How are you communicating with the Upper Domain?"

With space barriers between the two domains, sending messages from the Upper Domain is as hard as climbing to the heavens.

"On the fifteenth full moon night, when Yin energy is at its peak, I can connect with the Upper Domain through bloodline, this should be another contingency left behind."

How exactly it’s done, he wasn’t sure either.

But at that time, the Upper Domain would contact him.

"The fifteenth, huh..."

....

Ten people were confined in a large hall within the Imperial Palace by Chen Xuan.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan had his doppelganger erase the spiritual blood from all the activated space nodes.

"Solved!"

In just a few hours, the doppelganger returned to the Imperial Palace.

"Hmm!"

Chen Xuan nodded, it was indeed dangerous this time. If not for Chen Sheng and the others noticing the anomaly, and his coincidental return from seclusion, these people might have succeeded.

According to the mysterious man, the millennium timeframe was projected to at least be halved, at a minimum!

This would be an apocalypse for the Supreme Domain.

"Father, what’s next?"

Chen Yunze, after learning about this, was terrified, absolutely terrified!

When Chen Xuan told him, he, a master of double eight skills, found his limbs cold, even his breathing paused briefly.

That was the Upper Domain!

"There’s still three days until the fifteenth full moon night; let’s see if the Upper Domain contacts him then!"

...

Three days quickly passed.

Chen Xuan stationed himself directly in the great hall where the ten were confined; Chen Yunze wanted to join but was driven away by him, told that he needn’t worry about these things, as his father was handling it all.

He was to focus on managing Great Chen well.

After all, natural disasters were rampant on the Eastern Continent, needing his presence.

As the sky gradually darkened, the mysterious man opposite Chen Xuan inexplicably grew tense.

"No need to be nervous."

"You know what to say when contacted; as long as you obediently listen, your lives will be spared!"

Chen Xuan spoke calmly.

"Yes!"

The mysterious man replied softly, though made, he was now a living being and certainly didn’t want to die.

So now his only path was collaboration with Chen Xuan.

It was that simple.

The night sky.

The cold full moon reached its zenith, and the mysterious man in the grand hall suddenly trembled all over. He focused his gaze, nodding at Chen Xuan.

The next moment!

His eyes flickered with silver light, combined with his originally blood-red pupils, creating an exceedingly strange appearance.

Chen Xuan carefully sensed.

Indeed, a spectral force was descending slowly from the sky, eventually entering the mysterious man’s body.

And at this moment, he closed his eyes.

The scene changed correspondingly.

In the mysterious man’s sea of consciousness, a strand of spiritual power adhered to his soul.

A moment later.

A silver phantom, the size of a soybean, slowly appeared.

"How goes it?"

An elder’s voice resonated within the mysterious man’s sea of consciousness.

"Reporting to the lord, half of it is completed!"

"Only half?"

Clearly, the owner of the elder’s voice was displeased, and at this time, an elder’s visage appeared on the silver phantom.

"There are ten of you, why has only half been achieved after so long?"

He scolded harshly.

"Great Chen has caught wind of it, to ensure safety, I intentionally slowed the pace."

This was all what Chen Xuan had instructed beforehand.

"Hmph!"

The old man snorted coldly, but did not further reproach him.

"Get it done quickly!"

"Once it’s completed, within a hundred years we can descend to the Lower Domain, you’ll be well rewarded then."

He didn’t forget to paint a rosy picture for the mysterious man.

"Thank you, lord."

The mysterious man replied immediately, then probed, "Isn’t descending to the Lower Domain with the Heavenly Dao’s suppression too dangerous for you, lords?"

"There are now two Emperor Realms in the Supreme Domain."

"Heavenly Dao?"

The old man sneered, "It’s barely hanging on, how can it still manage us!"
