Above all spirits

Chapter 227 Divergence (Part 2)

Yang Tianxiao's face immediately darkened.

Ice Maiden, also known as Xue Qingwu, the current Palace Master of Ice Cloud Palace, possesses extraordinary talent. Before she was even a hundred years old, she had already reached the peak of the Saint Body realm. More importantly, she passed the inheritance test of Ice Cloud Palace at the peak of the Saint Body realm and condensed the Extreme Yin Emperor's Will. Ordinary pseudo-innate supreme experts are no match for her at all.

He knew that his nephew liked her, and even rejected the imperial will of the Xiaoyao Sect for her sake, searching everywhere for another imperial will that matched it, the Extreme Yang Imperial Will. However, there was still no news of the Extreme Yang Imperial Will. He had been searching for five years, turning almost the entire human realm upside down, but there was not a trace of it.

It's unclear how much of his cultivation time was wasted, but he only recently gave up and opted for the equally masculine Thunder Emperor's Will.

It's one thing for Bing Nu to say that, but Ye Changfeng, you should consider the occasion when you speak. Your own uncle is right here. You two haven't even started dating yet, and you're already siding with outsiders.

Yang Tianxiao coughed twice on purpose, just about to speak.

Ye Changfeng, however, showed no mercy and asserted.

"Alright, Uncle Yang, I really don't want to delay the time for condensing the Thunder Emperor's Will. I also need my father's guidance during this time, but he can't get away. The Free and Unfettered Sect will not participate either."

He disappeared immediately after saying that.

Yang Tianxiao's face turned even darker, like coal, and he could only manage to utter three words.

"Stinky boy."

Ming Wansheng muttered something after he left.

"Your dear nephew!"

In the end, after some discussion, the remaining five people decided that only the Ming Clan, the Yang Clan, and the Hundred Flowers Palace—three forces with deep ties to the Demon Clan—would join forces.

The Ling Clan stated that Han Tian of Canglan Star was also the teacher of a junior member of their clan with extraordinary talent. Since the Heavenly Demon was destined to be with his teacher, the Ling Clan would no longer interfere. In fact, if Han Tian were involved, the Ling Clan would even extend a helping hand out of consideration for the junior.

The junior he was referring to was none other than Han Tian's other disciple, the Azure-Clad Sword Saint, Ling Wuque.

Seeing that most forces were unwilling to intervene, the Su family eventually withdrew as well.

As for the Samsara Sect...

Mind your own business with the Samsara Sect.

The remaining three representatives looked at each other and gave each other a wry smile. After some deliberation, they decided not to make a big show of it. The Hundred Flowers Palace decided to send a pseudo-innate supreme expert with imperial will, while the Ming and Yang families would be represented by Ming Wansheng and Yang Tianxiao.

Two pseudo-innate beings with imperial will and one pseudo-innate being with emperor's will—if even they couldn't defeat a newly born Heavenly Demon, the Star Alliance had no choice but to give up.

...

After bidding farewell to Su Xiaoqian, Gu Yun and his group immediately returned to Canglan Star.

The teleportation array had resumed operation. Regardless of external pressure or internal needs, the teleportation array was always a top priority for a star kingdom.

Shang Wenqing stepped out of the teleportation array first, his expression somewhat solemn. His gaze slowly swept over the once prosperous imperial capital, which was now a scene of ruins everywhere.

Although things are gradually recovering, there is still a visible sense of desolation.

Shang Wenqing sighed deeply and muttered to himself.

"It's only been a few days since I came back, but it feels like a lifetime has passed. It's hard to imagine what kind of impact Canglan Star went through before."

He then bid farewell to Gu Yun.

"Master Gu, I've returned to the Shang family ahead of you. Zhan'er returned before me, which is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. Almost all the younger generation of the six major families went to Crimson Flame Star to watch the Star Realm Tournament. Fortunately, the future was saved."

"I will come to the capital to find you after I have settled the merchants."

Gu Yun nodded and beckoned to the two women behind him.

"Daisy, Daisy, you two can go with Uncle Shang. Just follow his instructions."

"It's a pity that the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will - Eternity can only affect oneself, otherwise your curse might have been lifted."

Gu Yun sighed softly, and a ball of purple flame suddenly appeared at his fingertips, a hint of sorrow appearing in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Dai Ling quickly waved her hand and bowed to Gu Yun to express her gratitude.

"Ah, it's alright. You can take the Water of Life on time as long as you want. You don't need to worry about it too much."

"Then my daughter and I will take our leave first."

After Gu Yun watched the three leave with a smile, Ji Ning also bid farewell to Gu Yun and went to the Ji family.

These lively characters left.

The surroundings suddenly became much quieter.

Xiao Li and I rarely spoke to each other, and Ling was practically mute. Only Ye Ying'er remained, but it takes two to tango.

"Brother, are we heading to the capital now?"

Bai Qing'er held Xiao Li's fingers tightly and asked Gu Yun softly.

She wouldn't have said that in the past; she would have just followed silently. But perhaps because they had been apart for so long, she wanted to talk to Gu Yun and couldn't help but ask.

Gu Yun rubbed Bai Qing'er's head and said.

"Yes, let's go. The new Emperor Canglan, who is about to ascend the throne, is the former Second Prince. We've basically taken care of everything. We're all on the same side, so it's fine."

"You all should take a rest then. I also need to use this time to consolidate my strength and make some breakthroughs."

Gu Yun was referring to his own breakthrough in soul level and some application of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will.

"Oh!"

Gu Yun patted his head, as if he had thought of something. He took out the White Soul Sword and the Spirit Sealing Lock from his spatial ring, took a few steps away, and called Xiao Li over. At the same time, he transmitted his voice.

"Xiao Li, don't you have one more in-depth appraisal left?"

Xiao Li's mind stirred, and he made a few movements in the air before nodding and transmitting his voice in return.

"Yes...that's right."

"You said you were saving it for me because it might be useful, so I didn't touch it. I almost forgot about it until you mentioned it. It's almost refreshed the count."

"It was almost a waste."

Gu Yun looked at the two objects in his hands, frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. At this stage, he still needed some offensive means. He had personally experienced the Spirit Sealing Lock and its effects were probably pretty much what he knew. There was no need to force himself to know everything about it for the time being.

Finally, a flash of white light appeared in his hand, and he chose to retract the Spirit Sealing Lock, handing the White Soul Sword to Xiao Li and transmitting his voice.

"Help me do an in-depth appraisal of this sword. The previous Blood Spear was damaged to a certain extent and cannot be used for the time being. This sword is quite extraordinary, perhaps even a bit outrageous."

"Even I couldn't withstand the power of the stars in the state of Wuji Yijie, yet it remained completely unharmed."

Although Xiao Li couldn't understand some of what Gu Yun was saying, he didn't ask any more questions. He nodded, accepted the White Soul Sword, and started the system's in-depth appraisal.

Anyway, he only needs to do the identification, isn't it better to just lie down and ride a rocket?

This is not.

Thanks to the shortcut provided by the Soul Crystal, not only did Gu Yun make a breakthrough, but I myself am also about to break through to the sixth level of the Overlord Body.

The sixth level of the Overlord Body has already achieved deep exploration; I wonder to what extent it can reach.
