Houtu immediately bristled, her face filled with disbelief. Ling Xiao had actually rejected her and even declared that he would enter the Divine Hall through his own efforts.
Contrary to her expectations, why did Ling Xiao refuse to come?
"Is it because he's cautious, afraid we might harm him?"
Houtu calmed down slightly, a thoughtful look appearing in her eyes, then suddenly looked at Paper Kite and asked with a stern face.
Didn't you mention me to him?
It must be because the Paper Kite didn't mention her, Ling Xiao didn't know his own identity, nor did he know that the so-called Second Divine General was an old friend, that he was unwilling to come.
"I did mention it, and I specifically emphasized that the Divine General greatly admires him and wants to personally assess him."
Paper Kite nodded repeatedly and hurriedly explained.
After hearing this, Houtu became even more puzzled. With Ling Xiao's intelligence, he should have been able to guess her identity.
Did she overestimate Ling Xiao's intelligence, and he failed to guess her identity?
"Did you tell him my real name?" Houtu pressed on, unwilling to give up.
"Of course, he also asked you, sir, whether you are male or female, and when you joined the Divine Hall," Paper Kite said.
"Did you tell the truth?" Houtu pressed.
"I told them everything, without hiding a single thing."
Hearing this, Houtu's expression grew even more unpleasant. Since Ling Xiao had asked these questions, it meant he had already guessed her identity.
Now that he knows his identity, why is he unwilling to come?
Houtu was somewhat broken down, and could no longer deceive herself. Even though Ling Xiao knew her identity, he still refused to come.
What does this tell us?
There's so much to explain.
At least her words had no effect on Ling Xiao; they were utterly ineffective.
Furthermore, from the Paper Kite's words, we learn that Ling Xiao wants to enter the Divine Hall through his own efforts.
This shows that Ling Xiao doesn't want to rely on her, much less be subordinate to her.
"Hmph, even at a time like this, you're still acting impulsively. For the sake of that laughable bit of pride, you dare to refuse my kindness."
Houtu's gaze gradually sharpened. Ling Xiao's unwillingness to come was simply for the sake of that laughable pride, wanting to prove himself.
But the situation is fraught with danger. This guy has been targeted by the Realm Lord and could lose his life at any moment. Coming to the Divine Hall is the safest option.
If Ling Xiao comes to the Ling Xiao Avici Divine Hall, with his talent, he will soon become a divine general and gain the recognition of the Mysterious Heaven Realm, at which time he will be much safer.
To her surprise, Ling Xiao rejected her good intentions.
"By the way, sir, the True Demon Palace is also involved. The Blood Moon Demon God intended to take Ling Xiao as his disciple, but he refused. In a fit of anger, the Blood Moon Demon God took Ling Xiao to the Mythic Battlefield."
Paper Kite continued, recounting in detail what happened next.
"Ling Xiao was taken to the Mythic Battlefield by the Blood Moon Demon God?"
Houtu was startled, then smiled helplessly.
This effectively hastened Ling Xiao's death.
Having been in the Origin True Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, Houtu has a thorough understanding of everything here. The Mythic Battlefield is the most dangerous and terrifying place in the Origin True Realm.
It spans twelve realms.
Let alone Ling Xiao, even if she entered the Mythic Battlefield, she might not be able to return safely.
That is the source of evil. All the heavens, myriad realms, countless planes, and multiverses, all negative matter originates from there.
Even with the suppression of the True Realm and the constant efforts to eliminate the evil there, it is impossible to eradicate it completely; it continues to emerge endlessly.
There, evil spirits and dark matter from the Primordial Taiji realm are everywhere, and there are even quite a few at the half-step Great Dao level.
It is said that there are also Dark Lord who can rival the realm lords.
In short, once you get there, you might encounter all sorts of evil spirits; it all depends on luck.
"My lord, what should we do now? This is a task assigned by the Palace Master, and I've messed it up," Paper Kite said with a bitter face.
"It's alright. Just say that Ling Xiao is worthless and has already been sent to the Mythic Battlefield by the True Demon Palace."
Houtu thought for a moment and said, "From this point on, Ling Xiao will probably disappear completely from the river of history."
In this way, she no longer had to fulfill the will of the Father God Pangu and serve Ling Xiao.
For a moment, Houtu's heart was filled with endless sighs and complex emotions.
Ling Xiao, once a powerful overlord of the Primordial World, has fallen to the status of a prisoner, marking the end of an era of glory.
At this very moment, in the Mysterious Heaven Earth Realm, the True Demon Wings carried Ling Xiao and the others through one bizarre and wonderful place after another, and the places they passed through became increasingly prosperous.
The colossal divine city, the ancient immortal mountains suspended in the void, and the dense nebulae, all closely connected, resembled palaces of vast worlds.
Compared to these places, the Snow Heaven Clan appeared exceptionally poor.
From Ling Xiao's perspective, he came from the countryside to the "big city".
Soon after, they arrived at a huge divine city.
This divine city is enormous, terrifying in its own right, with countless buildings and worlds connected together, deeply rooted in the void.
The various mysterious formations are densely packed together, and the castles are connected one after another. Even if Daluo Golden Immortal to enter, he probably wouldn't be able to reach the end and explore it all even if he flew for a lifetime.
"This is Heavenly Capital City, which is under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Divine Hall. We'll probably have to take a teleportation array from here to our next destination."
Tianxue Yaoyue explained to the bewildered Ling Xiao.
"Teleportation array?" Ling Xiao was quite surprised, thinking that such a thing existed for the first time.
He had naively thought that he could rely on the magical beast he was riding to fly to the Mythic Battlefield.
That was too hasty!
"The True Realm is boundless, beyond comprehension and immeasurable. Ordinary methods of travel are insufficient for long journeys, but teleportation arrays can perform large-scale spatial shifts, saving a great deal of time."
"These teleportation arrays were built by the Twelve Divine Hall, which opened up teleportation points between various places and established coordinates. They can directly reach ancient lands and the gaps between realms, making it extremely fast to travel from one realm to another, in the blink of an eye."
Tianxue Yaoyue explained.
"Then why doesn't your Snow Heaven Clan have one?" Ling Xiao nodded slightly and asked casually.
He could understand the concept of the legendary array, since the Origin True Realm was simply too vast and its space was very stable, making it impossible for ordinary cultivators to perform spatial teleportation.
This is where the teleportation array becomes essential.
Tianxue Yaoyue an awkward smile and said, "Our Snow Heaven Clan has not yet reached the point of building teleportation arrays. Only more powerful forces are qualified to set up teleportation arrays."
"The Mysterious Heaven Realm is filled with numerous teleportation arrays, but due to its vast size, many remote areas remain unreachable, including the Snow Heaven Clan."
"Learn!"
Ling Xiao laughed. Simply put, a teleportation array is like a high-speed rail station; a remote place like the Snow Heaven Clan doesn't even qualify for one.
Next, after several twists and turns, and several teleportations, the journey continued.
Ling Xiao and his group left the territory of the Mysterious Heaven Realm.
"Hehehe, we've finally crossed the boundary. Soon we'll reach the Mythic Battlefield, and then..."
The Blood Moon Demon God looked at Ling Xiao and the others and let out a piercing, eerie laugh.
