The Location of the High-Heaven Immortal Domain
Bai Zhengli spoke sarcastically, raising his hand to point at Song Wen.
"In this world, 'sincerity' is the most useless thing. Besides, we don't even know if your 'sincerity' is genuine or not."
"Senior Bai, I know that no matter what I say, you won't trust me. But time will tell. Please give me a chance. In time, my sincerity will be proven." Song Wen said.
Bai Zhengli remained silent, his eyes fixed on Song Wen.
Song Wen remained calm, as if he were not facing a powerful figure who could take his life at any moment, but simply an ordinary father who was dissatisfied with his daughter's sweetheart.
As for Bai Jinge, he held Song Wen's hand tightly and looked at his father with an arrogant expression.
The atmosphere became somewhat somber and unusually heavy.
"Good!"
Bai Zhengli suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
"Extreme Yin, remember your words today. If one day you ever hurt Jin Jinge, I will make you wish you were dead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhengli's figure suddenly disappeared, turning into specks of white light.
The surrounding gray fog also dissipated.
Song Wen found himself still standing on the bustling street, surrounded by a cacophony of conversations.
People around seemed to be going about their business as usual, clearly unaware of Bai Zhengli's presence.
Song Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
The pressure Bai Zhengli exerted on him was simply too great.
Fortunately, everything went as he expected. No matter how dissatisfied Bai Zhengli was with him, with Bai Jinge's favoritism, Bai Zhengli had no choice but to grit his teeth and compromise.
"Extreme Yin." Bai Jinge's concerned voice came from beside him, "Don't worry, with me here, I will never let Father harm you in the slightest."
"Jinge, don't say that. Your father is just worried about your daughter and afraid that you will be deceived by me. Besides, your father has just given his consent regarding our matter," Song Wen said.
"Extreme Yin, you are so understanding." Bai Jinge's tone was somewhat self-reproachful. "It's all my fault. If I weren't Father's daughter, but just an ordinary female cultivator, our affairs wouldn't have gone through so many twists and turns, and you wouldn't have had to face Father's threats time and time again."
Song Wen gently patted Bai Jinge's head, his tone full of pity.
"Jinge, since I chose you, I naturally have to face these things. Your father's attitude, the sect's rules, the opinions of others—these are all things I have to bear when I'm with you. If I can't even face these things, how can I say I'm truly devoted to you? Besides, you've always protected me, and today you even stood in front of me. If we're talking about hardship, you've had it harder than me."
Bai Jinge was perhaps moved by what was said, for her eyes reddened slightly.
"Alright," Song Wen's tone changed, "There are too many people around here, this isn't the time to talk about this. Let's continue shopping."
"Mm." Bai Jinge nodded emphatically.
The two then continued shopping.
Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually darkened.
Song Wen's purpose for this trip had not yet been achieved, he naturally would not return to Bamboo-Hidden Ravine. Instead, he found an Inn and asked for Detached Courtyard to stay in.
Bai Jinge also entered the Small Courtyard.
After the two sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, Bai Jinge said.
"Extreme Yin, there's something I forgot to tell you."
"What is it?" Song Wen asked.
"Do you remember when you asked me to investigate the Fengdu Poison Sea?" Bai Jinge asked.
"Of course I remember," Song Wen said. "What's wrong? Has something unusual happened at Fengdu Sea?"
Bai Jinge nodded.
"There are rumors that the southern part of the Fengdu Poison Sea has already merged with the Source-Qi Death Domain."
Song Wen frowned, his face full of surprise.
Neither the information provided by Bai Jinge nor Jiang Wanyue's side mentioned this point before.
"Although the Source-Qi Death Domain is constantly expanding outwards, it is not very fast. If the two were to intersect, news should have already spread. Why are we only hearing about it now?" Song Wen asked.
Bai Jinge, "The Fengdu Poison Sea is vast, spanning hundreds of billions of miles. It is located in a remote area on the southern edge of the border, and its poisonous miasma is extremely potent. On the other side of the Fengdu Poison Sea lies Endless Desert, devoid of any life. Therefore, almost no one goes there on ordinary days, and even fewer people detour to avoid the Fengdu Poison Sea to check on the other side."
"It was only a little over a decade later that the miasma in the Fengdu Poison Sea was about to weaken, attracting many powerful Immortal Realm to covet the heavenly materials and earthly treasures within. Only then did some people go to the trouble of bypassing the Poisonous Sea to check the situation on the other side, and thus learn that the Source-Qi Death Domain had already devoured the Endless Desert and was heading towards the Purple Star Immortal Domain."
"The Endless Desert was originally the dividing line between the Ziwei and High-Heaven Immortal Domain, but later, a Source-Qi Death Domain emerged in the northern border of the High-Heaven Immortal Domain. With its continuous expansion, the northern border of the High-Heaven Immortal Domain has almost completely fallen. However, unexpectedly, even the Endless Desert was swallowed up by the Source-Qi Death Domain."
"If this continues, the Purple Star Immortal Domain will likely never have a peaceful day again, and will gradually be devoured by the Source-Qi Death Domain..."
Bai Jinge's voice continued, but Song Wen had no heart to listen anymore.
To the south of the Purple Star Immortal Domain lies the High-Heaven Immortal Domain.
These two Immortal Domain are actually adjacent to each other.
Gu Que and Jing Chen both come from the High-Heaven Immortal Domain.
At the beginning of his ascension, Song Wen had inquired about the location of the High-Heaven Immortal Domain; however, at that time his strength was limited, and the place he was in was remote, so he could not get any useful information, and he eventually put it aside.
Only today did I realize that the High-Heaven Immortal Domain was located south of the Purple Star Immortal Domain; it was just that the Source-Qi Death Domain separated them.
Song Wen waved his hand, pretending not to care.
"Jinge, my initial inquiries about the Fengdu Poison Sea were merely to repay a debt of gratitude. I don't care about the intersection of the Poisonous Sea and the Source-Qi Death Domain. However, I am somewhat interested in the High-Heaven Immortal Domain. Could you elaborate on it?"
Bai Jinge said, "I remember I mentioned to you the Immortal Emperor Xi Ling of the High-Heaven Immortal Domain. His cultivation has already reached the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal, and his strength far surpasses that of my father. However, the High-Heaven Immortal Domain is one of the earliest immortal Immortal Domain in the entire Immortal Realm to have Source-Qi Death Domain. If it weren't for the Immortal Emperor Xi Ling's extraordinary abilities, the High-Heaven Immortal Domain would probably have been completely swallowed up by the Source-Qi Death Domain long ago, just like the Jade Blossom Immortal Domain. Even so, the High-Heaven Immortal Domain is still in grave danger, with half of its territory already invaded by Origin Qi and becoming the territory of the Void Demon Clan."
"Is there a way to reach the High-Heaven Immortal Domain?" Song Wen asked.
Bai Jinge once said that the reason why the Purple Star Immortal Sect was searching everywhere for the person who ascended to heaven on the fifth day of the seventh month of the Renxu year was because Bai Zhengli was entrusted by Immortal Emperor Xi Ling of the High-Heaven Immortal Domain.
Therefore, there must be some connection between Bai Zhengli and Immortal Emperor Xi Ling.
In other words, there should be a way for the two places to communicate.
Bai Jinge said, "The two Immortal Domain are adjacent and used to have frequent exchanges countless years ago. However, due to the appearance of the Source-Qi Death Domain, not only was an insurmountable chasm built between them, but many Teleportation Array were also destroyed. Now, only my Purple Star Immortal Sect has a Teleportation Array that leads to the High-Heaven Immortal Domain and directly to the High-Heaven Immortal Sect's headquarters. However, this Teleportation Array is of utmost importance and is not usually opened easily."
