After more than a decade, Lu Lan saw the Nightfall Divine Lord again at the Misty Rain Tower and the Orchid Moon Pavilion.
It was the same familiar routine for Ye Muxuan: listening to songs, watching dances, and enjoying delicious food and wine. Amidst the singing and dancing, a servant led the Crimson Flame Divine Lord into the Orchid Moon Pavilion.
"Nightfall Divine Lord, you really have returned." As soon as Crimson Flame Divine Lord entered the room, he saw Ye Muxuan sitting in his seat and laughed heartily.
"Crimson Flame Divine Lord, please." Ye Muxuan gestured for him to sit down.
Yunyan, who was standing to the side, hurriedly made arrangements.
In the past, Crimson Flame Divine Lord would occasionally come by, and he was considered a decent customer. However, Misty Rain Tower wasn't the only place in Snowfield City for entertainment, and everyone patronized Nightfall Divine Lord Misty Rain Tower out of respect for Lord Nightfall.
As the price of information about Nightfall Divine Lord in the Yanfeng Hall continued to rise, the influence of the Misty Rain Tower, which he used to frequent, also increased significantly within the circle of Eternal True God.
Listen to music, enjoy dancing, fine wine, and delicious food.
Before long, Xuelite, dressed in a low-key manner, arrived at Misty Rain Tower.
After Lu Lan finished her song and dance, she saw Xuelite sitting in a seat in the main hall.
Being in the Misty Rain Tower, she naturally recognized the City Lord, but the City Lord didn't recognize her, so when he did, she was completely dumbfounded.
Seeing that the pink and blue flowers on Lu Lan's head were drooping and the petals were trembling, Yunyan realized that she could no longer continue singing and dancing in front of the city lord, so she had no choice but to ask her to step down and take the stage herself.
Following the arrival of Lord Xuelite, the Divine Lords in charge of the three largest families in Snowfield City also arrived. In the end, together with the leader of the strongest underground force, a total of five Divine Lords came.
Although there are five major families in Snowfield City, the other two are actually much weaker than the three. Therefore, the three major families and the City Lord Mansion, plus at most an underground force, truly control the discourse in Snowfield City.
As Yunyan began her dance, she truly lived up to her reputation Eternal True God who had built the Misty Rain Tower. Whether it was her dance moves or her illusions, she far surpassed Lu Lan and the others. Several Eternal True God looked on with admiration. At the same time, all sorts of delicacies from the Misty Rain Tower were served in a continuous stream. Yunyan had already given strict orders to serve these deities well.
Now that even the city lord has come, as long as we serve him well, Misty Rain Tower will have no trouble earning resources in the future.
After the dance ended, Yunyan led seven dancers, all Void True God, to serve the various deities. Among them, Lu Lan served the Nightfall Divine Lord.
"Did Nightfall Divine Lord gain anything from this trip?" Inside the main hall, it resembled a small gathering, with all the attendees being renowned Eternal True God. Treasure Wood, who was interspersed among them, appeared extremely inconspicuous, so he obediently stood behind Ye Muxuan.
Upon hearing the words of the Crimson Flame Divine Lord, the other five Gods present all turned their gazes to Ye Muxuan. The azure battle armor he wore was extremely conspicuous; many Eternal True God had seen it before. It was a treasure from the Dark Treasure Tower, a masterpiece of the Dark Edge Divine Lord during his lifetime.
Dark Edge Divine Lord's initial assessment was correct; this Nightfall Divine Lord is worth befriending.
This thought arose in the minds of all the Eternal True God.
While it may be impossible for me to do it, everyone hopes that the friends I make are the kind who value loyalty and righteousness, rather than the kind who will stab me in the back before I even turn around when there is a conflict of interest.
"This trip has yielded some results." Ye Muxuan put down his wine cup, raised his gaze, and landed on the six Eternal True God present. Having already investigated a great deal of information about Snowfield City, he naturally knew who the other five Divine Lords present were.
City Lord Xuelite, a member of the Great Sage Youxue's clan; Xueliyong, a branch of the Great Sage Youxue, has lived in Snowfield City for countless years; Weske, the head of the Weiss Family; Ice Moon Fei, the head of the Ice Moon Family, a female Eternal True God; and the last one is Red, the current leader of the strongest underground force in Snowfield City.
If we add the Nightfall Divine Lord present, it's fair to say that this small gathering could almost determine the power structure of the entire Snowfield City.
Of course, Crimson Flame Divine Lord was only half a filler, but he was a general of the city guard appointed by Great Sage Youxue, so his status was not low. As for Treasure Wood, he was a Void True God, but now he didn't even qualify as a filler. With the fall of Dark Edge Divine Lord, the status of Dark Treasure Tower plummeted.
"The Nightfall Divine Lord's trip has caused quite a stir." Sipping the fine wine brought by the Crimson Flame Divine Lord, City Lord Xuelite raised her eyes and looked at Ye Muxuan.
He had snow-white hair and pure white pupils without any other color. When he looked over, the depths of his pupils resembled an endless, desolate universe.
"It's just a minor skirmish." Ye Muxuan shook his head, not wanting to dwell on it any longer.
Several other deities then spoke up, openly and subtly trying to find out information about these Nightfall Divine Lords. However, Ye Muxuan showed little interest, and even when he did answer, his responses were completely watertight.
Not long after, Xuelite, feeling bored, had already left, leaving only Crimson Flame Divine Lord and Treasure Wood in the arena.
"Demonic Lord, is there something you need to tell me?" Crimson Flame Divine Lord munched on the precious fruits offered by Yunyan, like a cow chewing on a peony, while also drinking his own brewed wine, busy as a bee.
As Eternal True God and a general in the city guard, he was considered a high-ranking official in Snowfield City, so he naturally had no shortage of fruit. However, in the Universe Ocean before his journey through Reincarnation, he had a particular fondness for fine food and wine, especially gifts from others, which tasted even better.
"Treasure Wood, please sit down as well." Ye Muxuan raised his wine cup, took a small sip, and gestured to Treasure Wood beside him.
"Thank you, Divine Lord." Treasure Wood bowed his head, expressed his gratitude, and then found a seat.
"Please be seated, three divine lords. Yunyan will go and prepare a banquet for you." Yunyan, the mistress of the Misty Rain Tower, was also perceptive. She knew that the Nightfall Divine Lord had something to say to the other two, so she rose, bowed, and took her leave.
Ye Muxuan remained noncommittal. Treasure Wood glanced at Yunyan, while the Crimson Flame Divine Lord didn't even lift his eyelids, continuing to drink and eat fruit on his own.
The owner of an entertainment venue wouldn't have come so many times if it weren't for the fact that the Nightfall Divine Lord inexplicably liked this place. It wasn't necessarily because he disliked it; he also sought pleasure, he was just too lazy to come. Moreover, there were many entertainment venues in Snowfield City, and Misty Rain Tower was merely of average quality.
Seeing Yunyan leave, a Formation Disk suddenly appeared in Ye Muxuan's hand; it was the Muying Disk.
With the array activated, the Muying Disk directly sealed off a section of space-time, and combined with Ye Muxuan's own One Thought Universe Creation, the entire Orchid Moon Pavilion was instantly Lockdown off.
Unless he initiates it internally, only the Chaos Overlord could break it from the outside.
This is the third Chaos Realm move that Ye Muxuan comprehended, and it is also the First Form move Time Origin.
"Nightfall Divine Lord." Crimson Flame Divine Lord put down the fruit in his hand, looked up at Ye Muxuan, and then surveyed the sealed space-time.
He has a keen eye and can naturally perceive the power of this technique that seals off time and space.
"Divine Lord." Treasure Wood was also somewhat taken aback, staring blankly at Ye Muxuan. Something was wrong. If the Divine Lord wanted to attack him, why would he need to go through all this trouble?
Back then, all thirteen Eternal True God of the dark forces perished in one night. Everyone knew it was the God-King who did it, but there was no evidence and no commotion.
"Does the Crimson Flame Divine Lord possess Chaos Realm inheritance?" Ye Muxuan asked suddenly, looking at the Crimson Flame Divine Lord.
A flash of annoyance suddenly appeared in the Crimson Flame Divine Lord's three eyes as he stared at Ye Muxuan.
Those powerful beings who have Reincarnation the Universe Ocean to reincarnate are inherently weak, making it even more difficult for them to obtain higher-level inheritances. The fact that he was able to barely gain a foothold in Snowfield City is already a testament to the Great Sage Youxue's interest in his brewing techniques, but he would not grant him an inheritance at the Chaos Master Level.
Strictly speaking, True God and Eternal True God are the same major realm, while Chaos Overlord is a new realm because he needs to comprehend the Chaos Law and has begun to come into contact with a branch of the Origin Great Dao. Therefore, Eternal True God can still grind his way up through time and resources, but Chaos Overlord cannot.
Ye Muxuan waved his hand, and a crimson jade piece, as red as flame, slowly floated over, finally stopping in front of the Crimson Flame Divine Lord.
"What does this mean, Divine Lord?" The Crimson Flame Divine Lord did not take the flaming jade piece, but looked directly at Ye Muxuan.
Born in the Universe Ocean, he had once crawled out of the Blood Sea of Hushan in order to compete for some cultivation resources and Heavy Treasure Supreme Treasure. Naturally, he knew what this jade piece meant, and he knew what it would mean if he accepted it.
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
The Great Sage Youxue valued him and appointed him as a general in the city guard. However, there were more than ten generals in the city guard, and he did not have absolute power. Moreover, every ten cycles, he had to offer the finest wine he had ever brewed.
Of course, he's willing to give up these things for the sake of resources.
"Some time ago, I killed a Chaos Overlord the Shi Kingdom and obtained part of his inheritance. It just so happens to be suitable for cultivating the Source of Flame, and it contains some insights into the Chaos Realm Eternal True God. I think it's quite suitable for Crimson Flame Divine Lord." Ye Muxuan said. This was naturally not the original inheritance he obtained from that weak Chaos Overlord, but something he copied.
The insights gained from the Chaos Realm are valuable, even though they may not be suitable for him. However, among the True God humanity in the Primal Universe, Luo Feng's disciple Huo Qiong follows the path of the Source of Water and Fire, which can serve as a reference for him.
"What price does the Divine Lord require me to pay?" The Crimson Flame Divine Lord stared at the flaming jade piece, a fiery universe churning within its three eyes, though he managed to suppress it.
"If the Crimson Flame Divine Lord sees this inheritance, he will be on the opposite side of the Shi Kingdom. If you use this to enter the Chaos Realm, the cause and effect will eventually be discovered by those God Kings." Even if God King do not specialize in the Causality Origin Law, they are still involved in cause and effect. If they really want to investigate, it is absolutely impossible to hide it from them.
"Secondly, if I am not in Snowfield City, please ask Crimson Flame Divine Lord to keep a close eye on the Dark Treasure Tower."
"Is the Divine Lord about to leave Snowfield City?" The Crimson Flame Divine Lord frowned, shifting his gaze from the fiery jade tablet to Ye Muxuan, and asked.
"This trip has created many enemies with the Shi Kingdom. I plan to travel around and gain experience, so I won't stay in Snowfield City any longer." Ye Muxuan nodded. He only came back to deal with the Dark Treasure Tower's affairs before leaving again.
What's more, he's been followed by a tail that hasn't been dealt with yet.
"Alright—" Crimson Flame Divine Lord stared at Ye Muxuan with one eye and at the fiery jade piece with the other, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "—Transaction successful!"
"As long as I'm still in Snowfield City, I'll take care of Dark Treasure Tower. Even in the worst-case scenario, I'll protect Treasure Wood's life. If things really come to that, he can take refuge in my cave once."
If Treasure Wood enters the Crimson Flame Divine Lord's cave and someone still tries to assassinate him, that would be utterly disrespectful to the Great Sage Youxue.
After all, the Crimson Flame Divine Lord was appointed as the city guard general by the Great Sage Youxue.
"Divine Lord!" Treasure Wood, sitting to the side, trembled slightly.
"I've investigated your teacher's matter thoroughly." Ye Muxuan picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and the image of that burly man appeared before his eyes. This man was the first Eternal True God he had encountered on the Origin Continent, and also his first friend.
"Great Sage Yu Yi recruited him, but Dark Edge Divine Lord only wanted to continue cultivating in Snowfield City and refine Mechanical Flow Treasure, aiming to break through to the Chaos Realm along this path. Therefore, to prevent Liuyu Kingdom from purchasing excellent legion-type Mechanical Flow Treasure from Dark Edge Divine Lord, they simply killed him." During the thirteen epochs outside, assassinations weren't the only thing happening. Ye Muxuan also investigated some matters. Although the reason was far-fetched, this was the truth.
It can only be said that Dark Edge Divine Lord's skills are quite good, enough to make even some Chaos Overlord of the Shi Kingdom envious. However, since he cannot enjoy it all to himself, he will destroy it rather than let an enemy country get it.
The Wu Kingdom Inheritance represents the pinnacle of Mechanical Flow Treasure craftsmanship, a claim that remains undisputed even today. Even obtaining some remnants of this legacy could have created a Dark Edge Divine Lord.
"Yu Yi—" Treasure Wood's expression twisted into a ferocious grin as he uttered the name of the Chaos Overlord, "—Great Grand Saint!"
Those who can be called Grand Saint are at least at the Peak Chaos Realm! He, a mere Void True God ant, could only suppress his resentment no matter how unwilling he was!
"I've returned this time to settle things at the Dark Treasure Tower. I'll be leaving soon." Ye Muxuan looked at Treasure Wood, then at the Crimson Flame Divine Lord was putting away the Flame Jade Piece, and said, "I'll leave the Dark Treasure Tower in the care of the Crimson Flame Divine Lord."
"Don't worry, I've accepted the item, so I'll naturally bear the consequences." Crimson Flame Divine Lord nodded. He accepted the flaming jade piece, which meant he was on the opposite side of the Shi Kingdom. Of course, a kingdom like the Shi Kingdom, with its several God Kings, might not even notice a mere Eternal True God.
"While I'm away, avoid anything too high-profile," Ye Muxuan said, looking at Treasure Wood. "Also, focus on your cultivation; strength is fundamental."
"Yes, I will remember the divine lord's teachings!"
Within the territory of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, in a city where the royal family resided, a beautiful woman looked up at the palace where the current Emperor Lord of the Ancient Country was located, and after a long while, she looked away.
It seems impossible for that little guy to achieve the 100,000-fold divine body; he can probably only succeed by comprehending the bloodline of the Sector Beast.
Oh well, the Infinite Divine Body isn't bad either.
Let me become True God with Infinite Divine Body 99,999 times stronger. Among this generation of royalty, I am the most outstanding one.
Her name is Difu Xi. You could say she has incredible luck. After reincarnation, she was directly reborn into the royal family of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, and she is even a descendant of the current ruling Emperor Lord, Difu Lineage.
O
