Earth-Shaking News

Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna traveled together, leaving Dragon Island and flying towards the Sea of Zhurong...

Legend has it that in Ancient Times, the Fire God Zhurong and the water god Gonggong a decisive battle, which caused the collapse of Buzhou Mountain, the pillar of heaven, resulting in the sky tilting to the northwest and Fire God Zhurong earth sinking to the southeast. In the end, the fire god Zhurong died, and all his Essence Blood transformed into a vast ocean in the Immortal Realm. The sea water is as red as fire and contains endless essence of Flame. As the territory of the Phoenix Clan, the divine bird of fire, it resides on the Sea of Zhurong.

However, Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna had only been away from Dragon Island for a little over half an hour, and had not yet flown out of the Heavenly River Region, when they sensed a very powerful aura approaching from behind. The familiar aura made Zhuge Xiang stop.

"Black Water Profound Dragon? Why did he chase after it?" Zhuge Xiang stopped, his brows furrowing slightly, feeling puzzled.

"Why bother thinking about it? He'll know when he gets here," Mo Lingna said with a smile, seeing Zhuge Xiang's thoughtful and bewildered expression.

"That's right, look at me, why waste my energy?" Zhuge Xiang laughed self-deprecatingly. It's true that he likes to use his brain, but it's not right to have to get to the bottom of everything and think things through so clearly.

Since Zhuge Xiang had sensed the Black Water Profound Dragon's aura, it was clear that the Black Water Profound Dragon had already approached him and quickly caught up. "What's wrong? Has something happened to Hong Lian's father again?" Zhuge Xiang, seeing the Black Water Profound Dragon rushing towards him.

"No, it's something that should be very important to you, but I forgot to tell you," the Black Water Profound Dragon shook its head and cut to the chase, saying, "That day, when you entered the Dragon Tomb, I was deceived by a villain and became your enemy. You should still remember that person, right? (There are many words involved.)"

"Ying Qianshan," Zhuge Xiang thought with a sudden realization. Back when the Black Water Profound Dragon was still the Black Water Mysterious Snake, it was instigated by Ying Qianshan to enter the Dragon Tomb and become his enemy. How could Zhuge Xiang forget this?

"Of course I remember," Zhuge Xiang asked, his gaze falling on the Black Water Profound Dragon, not understanding why he would bring up Ying Qianshan out of the blue.

"A while ago, I met someone in the Immortal Realm. Can you guess who it was?" Black Water Profound Dragon asked after hearing Zhuge Xiang's answer.

"Could it be Ying Qianshan?" Upon hearing this, Zhuge Xiang understood the meaning behind the Black Water Profound Dragon's words.

"Indeed, it is him." Black Water Profound Dragon nodded in reply.

"Ying Qianshan? He's in the Immortal Realm? What's going on?" Zhuge Xiang was completely baffled. Wasn't the Great Qin Empire's Imperial Clan Cultivation World, led by Ying Qianshan, currently at war with the forces formed by his Master and the others? Why would Ying Qianshan appear in the Immortal Realm at this time?

Could it be that Ying Qianshan broke through the final barrier and ascended to the Immortal Realm? If that's the case, why didn't I know anything about it? But if it wasn't ascension, how did he get here? Did he come through another passage, like me?

"You're wondering why Ying Qianshan came to the Immortal Realm, aren't you? There are quite a few words," Black Water Profound Dragon guessed what Zhuge Xiang was thinking at this moment, seeing Zhuge Xiang's furrowed brows in deep thought.

"Indeed, do you perhaps know something?" Zhuge Xiang nodded and asked the Black Water Profound Dragon. Since he knew that Ying Qianshan had been to the Immortal Realm, perhaps he knew something else?

"When I first met Ying Qianshan, I also found it strange, thinking he had ascended to the Immortal Realm. However, when I got to know him, I realized that he was far different from what I had imagined."

Black Water Profound Dragon, his gaze serious, uttered a piece of news that, in Zhuge Xiang's eyes, was nothing short of a bolt from the blue. "That Ying Qianshan doesn't recognize me at all, and after some investigation, I discovered that he actually ascended to the Immortal Realm thousands of years ago and is currently serving under Erlang the Emperor Yang Jian."

"Ascended to the Immortal Realm thousands of years ago? That's impossible!" Upon hearing the news about the Black Water Mysterious Snake, Zhuge Xiang exclaimed in surprise. Ying Qianshan, hadn't he always stayed in the Cultivation World? If he ascended to the Immortal Realm thousands of years ago, then why is he back in the Cultivation World?

"How is this possible?" Not to mention Zhuge Xiang, even Mo Lingna was shocked and turned pale upon hearing the news.

It has to be said that the news about the Black Water Profound Dragon was extremely shocking, throwing Zhuge Xiang into a state of confusion. Could it be that after Ying Qianshan ascended to the Immortal Realm, he still had a way to go to the Cultivation World? Impossible. Even a Great Sage level expert might not be able to resist the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao and forcibly descend to the Cultivation World. How could Ying Qianshan possibly do that?

But if that's not the case, how do you explain this situation? Is Ying Qianshan from the Cultivation World a Clone from the Immortal Realm? Or are they actually two different people?

If the Ying Qianshan of the Immortal Realm and the Ying Qianshan of the Cultivation World are two different people, then the question arises: if the Ying Qianshan of the Cultivation World is real, then who is the Ying Qianshan of the Immortal Realm? Why would someone ascend to the Immortal Realm under the identity of Ying Qianshan? What unknown secrets lie behind this?

But let's consider an even bolder idea: if Ying Qianshan from the Immortal Realm is the real one, then who is Ying Qianshan from the Cultivation World?

Numerous thoughts surged through Zhuge Xiang's mind like a dense meteor shower; the news about the Black Water Profound Dragon momentarily overwhelmed Zhuge Xiang.

In the Cultivation World, Master and others are engaged in a fierce battle with Ying Qianshan. However, they themselves haven't even figured out Ying Qianshan's True Identity. If there are any unknown secrets, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"When you fought with Ying Qianshan that day, I knew you would fight to the death. I knew this news, but I couldn't tell you. I didn't expect you to come to the Immortal Realm. It seems this is also the will of Heaven's will. Now I've told you everything I know. Investigate this matter yourself. If there's anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask." Seeing Zhuge Xiang deep in thought, Black Water Profound Dragon left after saying this. He knew the impact this news would have on Zhuge Xiang.

"Husband, what should we do? Should we still go to the Sea of Zhurong?" After the Black Water Profound Dragon left, it took Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna a long time to process this Human Heart news. Mo Lingna then asked Zhuge Xiang with a solemn expression, as she also understood the importance of this news.

"The trip to Sea of Zhurong is not urgent for now. We must investigate this Ying Qianshan thoroughly," Zhuge Xiang said solemnly. For Zhuge Xiang, nothing was more important than finding out the identity of Ying Qianshan from the Immortal Realm.

"Well, Black Water Profound Dragon just said that Ying Qianshan of the Immortal Realm is a powerful figure under Erlang the Emperor. In that case, let's go and visit Erlang the Emperor," Mo Lingna nodded in agreement with Zhuge Xiang's decision. After the two determined the direction, they flew towards Erlang the Emperor's residence.

Erlang the Emperor, also known as Erlang God, is a powerful being who existed before the Three Realms were divided. After ten thousand years of cultivation, he has already reached the Great Emperor Realm and is a powerful right-hand man under the Jade Emperor Great Sage.

Erlang the Emperor's residence was located within the area under the control of the Jade Emperor Great Sage, as was the Heavenly River. Therefore, it did not take Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna long to arrive at Erlang the Emperor's residence.

In the Immortal Realm, the residence of Erlang the Emperor floated above the celestial clouds, incredibly magnificent and imposing, clearly far more grand than any other building in the vicinity.

Upon arriving at the gate of the mansion, two guards from the Emperor Lord's Palace stopped Zhuge Xiang, scrutinizing him suspiciously and asking him what business he had come to the Emperor Lord's Palace.

Zhuge Xiang did not respond to the two guards' words. Instead, he took out the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow. The bow's magnificent aura was Human Heart. There was no need for the guards at the gate to announce its arrival. Zhuge Xiang believed that the power and aura of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow would be enough to attract the attention of the mansion's owner.

Sure enough, within moments, a man wearing a golden robe, wielding Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear, and with three eyes on his forehead emerged from the mansion. His imposing aura was on par with the Nine Great Emperor Zhuge Xiang had encountered in the Asura Path. Needless to say, this man was none other than Yang Jian, the Third-Eyed Divine General Erlang the Emperor, whose fame resounded throughout the Three Realms and Six Paths.

As Yang Jian stepped out of the mansion, his gaze naturally locked onto Zhuge Xiang. The divine eye between his brows flashed with light upon seeing the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow in Zhuge Xiang's hand. He then clasped his hands in a salute and said loudly, "So it is the Hou Yi's Divine Spokesperson Yang Jian. I am deeply sorry for not welcoming you properly, Mr. Zhuge, and for my lack of hospitality."

"The spokesperson for the Great God Hou Yi?" Upon hearing Yang Jian's words, several guards from the Emperor Lord's Palace came out to greet him, their expressions changing. They naturally understood what the title of "the spokesperson for the Great God Hou Yi" meant.

"You're too kind, Erlang the Emperor. Please don't blame me for coming uninvited," Zhuge Xiang said with a smile, putting away the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow. He secretly marveled at how useful the identity associated with the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow was in the Immortal Realm, where even Great Emperor level expert treated him with great respect.

"No, Mr. Zhuge, please come inside," Erlang the Emperor gestured, welcoming Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna into the mansion.

Upon entering the residence, after both sides, host and guest, took their seats, and then celestial maidens from the heart of the land served them celestial fruits and fine wine, Erlang the Emperor finally spoke, appearing quite forthright. "Earlier in the Lingxiao Palace, Your Majesty spoke of the appearance of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, which surprised me. I did not expect that Mr. Zhuge would suddenly visit. May I ask what important matter you wish to discuss? Please speak frankly."

"I wish to travel to the Sea of Zhurong, but I know little about it and my strength is weak. I wonder if the Erlang the Emperor has any capable subordinates whom I could lend to him?" Zhuge Xiang asked, getting straight to the point.

Although Zhuge Xiang came for Ying Qianshan, he naturally wouldn't directly reveal his intentions. Zhuge Xiang felt that it was best to investigate Ying Qianshan secretly, so he took a roundabout approach, wanting to use Ying Qianshan to accompany him to Sea of Zhurong, carefully observing and subtly probing along the way.
