The Heavenly Emperor said, "Of all that has happened over these thousand years, what surprises me most is that Shushan has produced an Immortal Xuan Yi who can stand toe-to-toe with Demon Lord Chonglou.
"If Demon Lord Chonglou had not recently entered the Human Realm and invaded Shushan, provoking Immortal Xuan Yi into action, I would never have known that Shushan possessed such a powerful expert."
Red Dust smiled. "Your Majesty flatters me. I have always guarded the Demon-Locking Tower, so even when I act, few in the outside world know of it."
"Oh? Immortal, may I ask what brings you to the God Realm this time?
"If you are willing to take up a post in the God Realm, I would be delighted."
Red Dust shook her head in refusal. "Then I fear I must disappoint Your Majesty. I came to the God Realm for two reasons. First, to see the God Realm for myself.
"After cultivating for so many years, I have only set foot in the Human Realm among the vast Six Realms.
"Second, that thing came from Shushan after all. Only by witnessing its destruction with my own eyes can I rest easy."
"Immortal, you are truly compassionate!"
Before long, Xu Changqing carried the box on his back and headed for the Heavenly Pool. Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian learned that the Water Spirit Pearl was in Xiyao's hands and went to find her.
As for Red Dust, her words sounded noble, but she did not care in the slightest.
After exchanging for a piece of ten-thousand-year meteorite iron with the Heavenly Emperor, she vanished from the God Realm.
Not long after Red Dust left, Jing Tian and Xuejian found the goddess Xiyao.
But at that moment, Chonglou came to the God Realm once more.
