Chapter 416

That man also possessed Bandit Cultivator.

The moment the two appeared, Ju Hongying seemed startled and quickly hid behind her brother.

Xiao Minghuang noticed that the little girl seemed extremely afraid of the immortal woman.

"The innate wood and fire spiritual roots were the first wood and fire elements born in the primordial chaos at the beginning of the universe. They intertwined and merged to evolve into the innate wood and fire spiritual roots, which later generations called the Fusang Divine Tree."

Li Hongsheng said softly, as if explaining to others, "My father's roots originated from the Fusang Divine Tree, which is called the Li Yan Divine Tree."

"Those beings that have survived since the beginning of the universe are extremely rare, and even those that have survived to this day have undergone several major changes in their form."

The immortal man gazed at the true form of the Li Yan Immortal King, his eyes filled with a hazy light.

"Just like the five realms of the Demon Race today, although their celestial venerables all claim to be the Five Spirits of the True Lineage, in fact they all evolved from other beings and were not born immortals."

The immortal man added, then walked towards Xiao Minghuang and the others, and said with a gentle smile, "I am Chu Yang, from the Yuliang Great World. Greetings, fellow Daoist!"

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Chu. My surname is Xiao, and my Daoist name is Ziwei."

Xiao Minghuang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"So it's Ziwei Fairy." Chu Yang nodded, then turned to Ju Hongsheng and smiled, "To pay my respects to the Fairy and to meet such an outstanding person is truly an honor."

Ju Hongsheng didn't pay much attention, only giving a faint "hmm".

He then introduced Xiao Minghuang, saying, "This is Immortal Lord Yuliang. He introduced himself, so I won't go into details."

Ju Hongsheng pointed at the immortal woman again, about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted.

"Phoenix Dance, Sanming Great World!"

The woman spoke coldly, seemingly showing extreme dislike for Ju Hongsheng.

Even Xiao Minghuang was secretly surprised that the Li Yan Immortal King's offspring were disrespected within his own world.

However, Ju Hongsheng did not show any displeasure and continued, "I was in a hurry on the way and did not have time to explain in detail to Ziwei Fairy. The reason for this summons from the Immortal King is that a great world in the Lan Que Star Domain under the jurisdiction of my Li Yan Heavenly Kingdom is about to perish, and he asks the three of you to go and collect the Heavenly Dao Source of this world."

"If you can retrieve the origin of this realm, the Celestial King will grant you one request within the Li Yan Heavenly Kingdom, within the Immortal King Court's authority, that will not violate the laws of the Supreme Heavenly Court."

Being able to collect the primordial Heavenly Dao Source is indeed a desirable task.

Generally speaking, the celestial realm is for special matters, and messengers are specially dispatched to a certain place in the universe to carry out missions. They are not subject to the World Patrol Order or the deity of the star field where they are located, but are only responsible to the Immortal King Court or the Heavenly Venerable Palace that issued the mission.

Therefore, it is reasonable for them to seek some additional, reasonable benefits once they have completed their mission.

For example, collecting the Heavenly Dao Source when it is about to perish.

Since the Heavenly Dao Source is about to perish, it means that this world is about to be destroyed.

Therefore, all living beings within this realm are those who are about to die, all resources within this world are things that are about to be annihilated, and even all the laws of the Heavenly Dao contained within the Heavenly Dao Source are at your disposal.

Don't underestimate these resources.

The beings in a realm can fill a small world, greatly promoting the evolution of their own Great Dao.

Resources from one realm can also be transplanted into a smaller world, which will similarly promote the evolution of the Great Dao.

As for the laws of the Heavenly Dao of a realm, they can directly supplement the complex evolution of one's own Great Dao.

The combination of these three factors would make it possible for a Celestial Lord to advance through dozens of tribulations!

As for the long-term benefits, they are countless.

Moreover, according to Ju Hongsheng, completing this task will also earn him a promise from the Li Yan Immortal King, which is even more valuable.

This is the promise of the Celestial King!

Xiao Minghuang was unaware of these matters before and had been pondering them.

Chu Yang and Feng Wu clearly knew this beforehand, and it seemed they had arrived here quite some time ago. They both nodded, indicating that they had no objections.

However, Xiao Minghuang was somewhat curious as to why Li Yan Immortal King would allow three outsiders to obtain such a good position.

Hand it over to one of our own people...

For example, one's own offspring.

Wouldn't it be better to have Ju Hongsheng, or even a younger Ju Hongying, standing before us?

Xiao Minghuang obviously couldn't ask such a sensitive question.

However, she could ask a less sensitive question.

"Young Master Ju, wasn't it said that the Celestial King summoned you? Why has the Celestial King not yet arrived?"

Xiao Minghuang asked in confusion.

Upon hearing this, Ju Hongsheng smiled slightly and pointed to the towering crimson divine tree in the sky.

"The Celestial King has been here all along, watching over us."

Xiao Minghuang subconsciously looked up, but could only see a ball of crimson light.

Nothing was seen.

Just as she was about to look away and ask Ju Hongsheng some questions about the details of the mission...

Within that crimson mass, a streak of blood-red light seemed to pierce through the void and enter her brow.

Instantly.

A new piece of information appeared in her mind.

"Kill Feng Wu and Chu Yang, reclaim the Origin of the Realm, and I will grant you the title of Immortal King."

In an instant.

Xiao Minghuang was stunned.

But in the next moment, her expression returned to normal.

All she saw Ju Hongsheng staring at her with a deep, dark look in his eyes, as if he knew what he had just said.

"Young Master Ju?"

Xiao Minghuang asked tentatively.

"The Celestial King has high hopes for you; do not disappoint Him."

Ju Hongsheng suddenly spoke seriously, seemingly unaware of everything that had just happened.

But Xiao Minghuang felt that, just a moment ago, the other party seemed to have seen right through her.

This feeling made her very uncomfortable.

However, Li Yan Immortal King suddenly uttered such a seemingly random statement, she certainly couldn't just attack Feng Wu and Chu Yang.

She was waiting for the Li Yan Immortal King's next move.

"By the way, the Lan Que Star Domain seems to be adjacent to the Cangming Star Domain. When Ziwei Fairy returns, she can use my token to take over the Cangming Star Domain, or move the Ziwei Great World to the Li Yan Heavenly Kingdom. Regardless of the ownership of the World Origin, it's all acceptable. What do you think?"

As he spoke, Ju Hongsheng took out a token and handed it to Xiao Minghuang.

Since the other party offered such favorable terms, and it was right under the nose of the Celestial King, Xiao Minghuang had no choice but to accept the token, cupping his hands in greeting and saying, "It is my greatest honor!"

"Whether to take over the star field or relocate to the Heavenly Kingdom, please allow me to consider it."

"Alright, I will now tell you about that great world. Please listen carefully."

Ju Hongsheng coughed and then said, "The Lan Que Great World is located in the Lan Que Star Domain and is the main world of the Lan Que Star Domain. Not long ago, the Lan Que Department Master Lord perished in a level three Cosmic Storm. The Lanque main world shared its fate with him. Because the event happened suddenly, the fusion between the Lan Que Department Master Lord and the Lan Que World was not severed. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao of the Lan Que World was severely damaged, and the Epochal Annihilation is imminent!"

"The Lan Que Great World is extremely large, enough to support several Immortal Lords, and it has more than ten companion worlds, each capable of supporting an Immortal Lord. The number of other True Immortals is probably no less than a hundred. They will not stand idly by while the Immortal King Court collects the World Source."

"Besides these, other great world lords, ancient beings wandering the universe without affiliation, and Innate Being may also covet the Origin of the World."

"The Celestial King's only requirement for you is to retrieve the Origin of the Realm. Everything else is irrelevant. You'd better behave yourselves!"

Ju Hongsheng spoke slowly. After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath, glanced at the people present, and then waved his sleeve. A crimson light enveloped Xiao Minghuang and the other two, and they disappeared.

After the three left.

Little Ju Hongying ran out from behind her brother.

With a hopeful glint in her bright eyes, she said, "Brother, can I go with big sister?"

Ju Hongsheng knew, of course, that the elder sister his younger sister was referring to was Ziwei Fairy, not Immortal Lord Feng Wu, but he still asked knowingly, "Which elder sister? Is it Immortal Lord Feng Wu?"

Ju Hongying frowned, pouted, and remained silent, seemingly disliking being asked such a question.

"No, no, no! That Immortal Lord Feng Wu is too strange and terrifying. The last time I saw her, she suddenly said she wanted me to have her child. I definitely don't want to talk to her!"

Ju Hongsheng smiled and ruffled Ju Hongying's hair, comforting her, "Don't worry, she won't appear in front of you again."

Ju Hongying looked confused, not understanding what he meant, but she believed that her brother was right.

She nodded obediently, then asked, "Can I go find the older sister?"

Ju Hongsheng asked her with a smile, "Aren't you worried that she'll end up like Immortal Lord Feng Wu?"

"Big sister is a good person."

Ju Hongying's little face was full of seriousness.

Why did you think she was a good person the first time you met her?

Ju Hongsheng asked again.

"I just know that the older sister is a good person. If you're good to her, she'll be good to you."

Ju Hongying spoke, her little feet touched the ground. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then added, "Hmm! I'll go help! Big sister will like me!"

526. The older sister is beautiful and kind-hearted.

After saying that, she skipped away.

"Why..."

Ju Hongsheng watched his sister's retreating figure, then shook his head with a wry smile.

If an ordinary person said such a thing, he would definitely not take it seriously.

But since these words came from his sister Ju Hongying, he had no choice but to believe them.

Nothing else matters.

Simply because Ju Hongying was born with Eye of the Heart.

This physical condition allows her to perceive the inner changes of all living beings.

To harbor good intentions, or to harbor evil intentions.

She only needed one glance to know everything.

This is something more mysterious and profound than any great path.

Ultimately, all great principles are essentially about observing and describing what has already happened.

Even the great Dao, which describes things that have no substance and are ethereal, such as time, space, causality, and destiny, is still based on the fact that the things it describes and observes are definite and real.

But seeing through the mind is something that has never happened in the past, present, or future; it only exists within the faint fluctuations of countless Primordial Spirit.

Ju Hongying feared Immortal Lord Feng Wu because she sensed a deep resentment emanating from her.

The opposite is true for Xiao Minghuang.

It was a profound kindness, like a clear and tranquil spring, without a trace of malice.

This is the most precious and valuable aspect.

Ju Hongsheng ascended to the Li Yan Divine Tree and bowed with her hands clasped.

"Father, Ziwei, Fengwu, and Chu Yang have already set off, and Xiao Ying has also left the royal court, presumably to catch up with Ziwei."

A moment later, an aged voice came, "Hmm, you did very well. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to get through this ordeal safely."

"Father, there is still one thing I do not understand."

Ju Hongsheng hesitated and said, "Immortal King Qingyang is indeed powerful, but why can't we unite with other heavenly kingdoms to fight against him together? Why do we have to support an outsider? What if she turns the tables on us later? Wouldn't we be doing all the work for someone else?"

This was the part that puzzled him the most.

Although the Li Yan Heavenly Kingdom ranks only in the middle of the Longevity Heaven Realm, it is still considered to have good interpersonal relationships. Even though the Immortal King Qingyang is the chief disciple of the Heavenly Venerable and has great strength, it is impossible for him to wage war against several heavenly kingdoms at the same time.
