Ao Yuexi stared blankly ahead. Ao Xuan had long since vanished.
Yet Ao Xuan's words still echoed in her ears.
"Destroy the Dao Yan Forty-Ninth Universe... Hehe... Lord Ao Xuan truly thinks highly of me."
"But this should be his last resort, shouldn't it?"
At that thought, Ao Yuexi shuddered in fear.
That final sentence had probably not been meant for her or the Dragon Clan that was about to arrive. It had been meant for himself.
If that was the case, then this was far too troublesome.
"It seems there is a great secret in the Lower Realm."
Ao Yuexi trembled with excitement. Secrets meant opportunities.
A Dragon King after ten thousand years, a Dragon Emperor after thirty thousand years—such temptation had deeply captivated her.
Suppressing the urge to contact the elders of her branch, she began pondering how to enter the Dao Yan Forty-Ninth Universe.
Naturally, she could not be like Chen Chen.
She wanted to preserve as much of her combat strength, cultivation, and realm as possible before entering the lower-realm universe.
"But Chen Chen should serve as a test subject first."
Ao Yuexi turned around and went to find Chen Chen again, telling him that everything was ready.
Chen Chen did not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately followed Ao Yuexi, preparing to enter the Dao Yan Forty-Ninth Universe.
Watching their little movements from the shadows, Chen Yanqiu had neither the intention nor the ability to stop them.
"Our paths differ; we cannot plot together." Chen Yanqiu shook his head and headed back toward his own courtyard.
Before long, he sensed movement. Chen Chen was no longer on the Immortal Ascension Road.
Perhaps he had succeeded. Even if he had failed, Chen Yanqiu had no intention of paying attention.
It had nothing to do with him.
