Su Yu quietly looked at the princess of Jiuli, said nothing more, turned around, and used his great magic to transfer the four of them to the Illusory Spirit Sea.
The boundless spiritual sea rippled gently, and under the sunlight, it emitted a pale red mist, within which twinkled starlight, making it look incredibly beautiful, like a beach paved with pink diamonds.
The four traveled for a while, during which Su Yu showed kindness and comfort to the little princess of Great Xia.
Despite his grudge against Great Xia, Su Yu would not hold a grudge against Xia Yilin.
At the end of the road, Su Yu bestowed divine magic and spiritual liquid upon her. He then asked Princess Yue Ling if she would be willing to travel with him to the outside world. She was initially surprised, but then readily agreed.
Xia Yilin felt a pang of envy, but she also knew what Ling Mei had gone through in Great Xia. Although she felt a pang of sadness, she dared not say anything and could only watch silently.
Su Yu and Princess Yue Ling rode the wind away, a flash of Chaos light transporting Xia Yilin and Ling Mei back to Heavenly Spirit City...
The Ziwei Star Domain, the Eastern Region of the Northern Kuru Reed Continent.
"Father, what did you say?"
Inside the temple, Princess Yueshi was surrounded by a shimmering purple light, her figure slender and graceful. Her pupils constricted as she spoke in disbelief.
Behind her was a girl who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old.
Princess Xinggui had snow-white skin and a delicate face. Although her figure beneath her skirt was slender, it was also shapely. She looked timid and held her sister's hand tightly, as if she were a little scared.
" Yue Shi, although the Emperor Ancestor annihilated his enemies this time, he was also severely weakened. You and Xinggui's bloodlines have reverted to their ancestral state. As princesses of the Divine Dynasty, there are some things you cannot escape; this is your duty."
Sovereign Mingdao's tone was somewhat heavy, but extremely firm and resolute.
Seeing his daughter's extreme reluctance, he felt bad too, but Yue Shi would understand his good intentions in the future.
"This kind of thing..."
The black-haired woman's graceful body trembled slightly, her eyes instantly lost their light, and she became completely disoriented, muttering to herself.
Suddenly, Princess Yueshi's almond-shaped eyes flashed with a cold light, and she shouted, " The Imperial Ancestor Shenwu would never do such a thing. Which royal uncle spread these slanderous rumors?"
In her heart, the " Imperial Ancestor Shenwu " who saved the Ziwei Divine Dynasty was incredibly wise and would never do such a thing; it was probably her uncles who did it.
Sovereign Mingdao showed a hint of surprise at the opportune moment, but quickly regained his composure. There was a struggle in his eyes, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
The next moment, three middle-aged men dressed in dragon robes walked into the temple. They looked at Princess Yueshi with cold eyes and indifferent expressions.
The Third Imperial Uncle said sternly, " Yue Shi, do you want to destroy the entire Divine Dynasty?"
"Without our imperial ancestor's bloody battle against the Foreign Realm Saint, we would be nothing more than lambs to the slaughter. You have always been wise, why don't you understand this?" The second imperial uncle sighed and said disappointedly.
The Fourth Imperial Uncle was the most ruthless. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "The Imperial Ancestor is everything. If the Imperial Ancestor Shenwu's injuries worsen, the surrounding forces will definitely not let us go. At that time, everything will be annihilated, and the Divine Dynasty will be reduced to a pile of ashes. You will be the biggest sinner."
Sovereign Mingdao remained silent. He sighed, turned around, and stood with his hands behind his back, unwilling to force his own flesh and blood.
Seeing Xinggui's tearful expression and Yue Shi's tear-streaked face, it was clear that her three uncles had all come out, and what her father had said was probably true.
She gritted her teeth and said painfully, "You... I..."
The three royal uncles stared coldly at her, their gazes unfathomable, their intentions self-evident. In their eyes, as long as the Imperial Ancestor Shenwu could live, they would not hesitate to sacrifice even tens of thousands of royal blood descendants, let alone a princess.
Without the protection of Saint, the Ziwei Divine Dynasty is nothing but rootless soil, which will be destroyed by the winds and clouds in an instant, turning into ruins. They will perish along with it, and their end will be extremely tragic.
She then wiped away her tears and said bitterly, "For the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, I am willing to give everything. If the Imperial Ancestor is truly seriously injured, I am willing to give everything to save him, even if it means death..."
Although she was stunningly talented and had reached the Immortal Platform Secret Realm in cultivation, she was powerless to resist her elders and could only submit...
Finally, everyone left, and Princess Yueshi collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face, looking somewhat haggard.
She hugged her younger sister, a gentle smile on her face, her fair, Ruyu hands stroking the girl's hair, her eyes filled with doting affection.
" Xinggui, don't be afraid, your sister will always protect you."
The girl's delicate neck was as white as frost, and her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, contrasting with her snow-white skin. She looked pure and innocent, much like a legendary Angels, exuding an aura of holiness that made one reluctant to defile her.
She hugged Princess Yueshi, choking back tears, and said, "Sister, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault."
Sovereign Mingdao found her first, but she was terrified, so she ran to Princess Yueshi's bedchamber. Unexpectedly, her father followed her, along with several of her uncles.
The kind and amiable uncle I remembered has completely changed and become a stranger.
"Little Xinggui is so adorable, how could she be wrong..." Princess Yueshi kissed her younger sister's forehead and said softly.
Seeing the lingering tear stains on her sister's face, Princess Xinggui felt a lump in her throat and collapsed into her arms. She had just been married and had experienced two calamities in a single day, a burden she could not bear...
Chapter 371 The Resolute Will to Die
A night breeze stirred, and the bright Mingyue hung high in the sky. Its cool light spilled across the heavens, illuminating the crystal-clear celestial palace and refracting a beautiful halo, creating a breathtaking scene.
Before the palace platform, a tall and slender woman stood indifferently on the jade steps. She wore Nine Phoenix crown and a silver-threaded dragon and phoenix robe. Her temperament was aloof and cold, and she was surrounded by wisps of Yue Hua, like a fairy from the Moon Palace, unattainable.
Starlight spilled down, Yue Shi turned back, a hint of longing in her beautiful eyes, gazing towards the palace gates. Then, without looking back, she ascended the path of light, disappearing into the night with an imperial uncle...
A short while later, Sovereign Mingdao led the frail Princess Xinggui out of the Jade Palace.
"Father..."
The girl in the gold dress seemed somewhat intimidated, standing by the railing, hesitant to move forward.
She had long eyelashes and a slightly pale face, looking pitiful and charming as she gazed at her father with a hint of longing.
" Xinggui, you will understand your father's good intentions in the future. The Divine Dynasty cannot be without its imperial ancestor!"
The Ziwei Dynasty Lord sighed. With a wave of his dragon sleeve, nine thick Purple Dragon flew out from the sea of clouds, intertwining to outline a purple light portal.
Princess Xinggui walked forward, and as she stepped through the portal, she turned back, revealing two small dimples on her face. She smiled brightly and whispered, "Father, I won't let you down!"
The Ziwei Dynasty Lord nodded slightly, then stood quietly in place, watching the girl walk through the portal of light...
Nine thousand feet above the ground, Chaos surged, purple energy billowed, starlight and moonlight mingled, and a dark golden temple suppressed the boundless sky, radiating magnificent divine light.
The palace walls are crystal clear, radiating a metallic luster. They are engraved with ancient Daoist carvings depicting the Sun-Moon, mountains, rivers, oceans, fish, insects, flowers, and birds, as well as flying birds, beasts, and celestial bodies, creating a magnificent and boundless atmosphere.
Suddenly, a ray of silver light rose from below, ascended the ancient hall, and transformed into a woman in a white dress. She was stunningly beautiful, with only a touch of makeup, and looked breathtakingly gorgeous, possessing a divine aura.
Princess Yueshi looked up at the ancient carvings in the hall, her gaze cool and clear as she felt the astonishing Daoist charm emanating from the murals.
The next moment, her expression hardened, her eyes gleaming with a different kind of light, and she walked into the ancient hall alone.
Inside the ancient hall, an endless pale red ocean stretched before the eyes. Suddenly, a wisp of mist blew in, its radiance intertwined with the concepts of "Tao" and "Li," dazzling as a flower, carrying an aura of vicissitudes, as it lapped towards the woman in white.
Princess Yueshi looked surprised. She moved her hands and created large purple stars that hung above her head.
With the blessing of the Imperial Star Technique, the sea fog slowly dissipated, and the sun rose high in the sky. Under the Taiyang, the sea was covered with a thin layer of mist, dazzlingly beautiful...
Su Yu sat alone in the Ninth Heaven, his eyes closed and his expression calm. He sat on a Chaos lotus platform, with a dark starlight in front of him, dazzling and radiant, radiating lines of pitch-black Dao principles.
A series of chanting sounds suddenly arose, as if expounding the myriad principles of the world, causing the Void to rumble and the entire sea of red jade to surge and change accordingly.
In the dim starlight, a god-like figure emerged. He was tall and incomparably heroic, with stars flickering in his eyes, deathly still and profound, as if he were the embodiment of the night, carrying a chilling killing intent that sent shivers down one's spine.
However, the phantom quickly dissipated into the Void, engulfed by the Chaos energy.
In this situation, Princess Xinggui, who looked like a porcelain doll, appeared in the clouds, and she quickly spotted the " Imperial Ancestor Shenwu " before her.
Remembering her father's words, the girl in the golden dress pursed her lips, took light steps, and slowly walked to Su Yu. Then, she gracefully knelt down, her skirt twirling, and softly said, "Greetings, Founding Ancestor Shenwu!"
To be fair, as a descendant of royalty, she greatly admired this ancient ancestor, especially since he had annihilated the extraterrestrial Saint and saved the Ziwei Divine Dynasty.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Yu opened his eyes. His face was pale, and he looked utterly defeated.
Seeing the frail girl kneeling before him, a sense of relief filled his eyes. The vibrant light of his Life, which had been shining brightly, slowly faded and disappeared, giving off a sense of twilight.
The man in the star-patterned robe said softly, " Xinggui, come here, let your ancestor take a good look at you."
Seeing her royal grandfather so kind and approachable, Princess Xinggui felt relieved, but then a little nervous. She stood up, straightened her dress, and walked to Su Yu's side with small, quick steps.
Su Yu looked at his "descendant" with gentle eyes. He reached out and stroked the girl's black hair, then a trace of melancholy appeared in his eyes as he said sadly, "Perhaps Longevity is all an illusion. What could be more hopeful than seeing one's blood flow in the veins of future generations, full of vitality? Perhaps I should pass away, living on by the blood of my descendants. Would I still be myself then?"
Upon hearing the once invincible ancient ancestor utter such words, the girl in the golden dress felt a pang of sadness. Suddenly, a surge of fervent patriotism, a willingness to sacrifice herself for the divine dynasty, rushed into her consciousness. She embraced Su Yu, tears welling in her eyes, and sobbed, " Imperial Ancestor Shenwu... live on with the blood of the Xinggui."
"Silly child, how could I do such a thing?"
Su Yu shook his head. He extended his right hand, his five fingers slightly curved, condensing the starlight into a silver rune. Then, with a smile in his eyes, he said, "After I Return to the Ruins, you and Yue Shi should leave. Even though the Divine Dynasty has been destroyed, I hope you will not forget the glory of your ancestors. Perhaps, in the future, you will be able to rebuild the Ziwei Divine Dynasty!"
"No, Ancestor, my awakening is ordained by the Heavens. The bloodline of the Ziwei Ancestor has revived within me. Although I am not a celestial being, I possess the Ziwei King Blood. To dedicate everything to the Divine Dynasty is my mission!"
The girl in the golden dress was only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a touch of childishness on her face, but at this moment, her eyes shone with an astonishing light—the resolute determination of a martyr.
Before she arrived, her father showed her the tragic plight of the surviving descendants after the destruction of powerful forces. The once noble young masters were wantonly oppressed by minor sects, while female cultivators suffered even more, becoming objects of contention among other forces...
She had deep feelings for the Ziwei Divine Dynasty and would never allow such a tragic situation to happen, even if it cost her her life. For this, she risked everything.
Su Yu's expression changed, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said angrily, "That guy Mingdao, what exactly did he tell you? Did he tell you... cough cough..."
Before he could finish speaking, his face turned ashen, he spat out a mouthful of Black Blood, his expression grew increasingly weak, and it seemed his life was nearing its end, yet his gaze became even more "kind."
Seeing her grandfather cough up blood, Princess Xinggui was even more worried. She took out a silk handkerchief embroidered with landscapes and carefully wiped away the Black Blood from Su Yu. Then she threw herself on Su Yu and cried out, "Grandfather, Xinggui is willing, please take my lifeblood!"
Amidst the clouds nearby, Princess Yueshi's face paled. She gave a bitter laugh, feeling that all her worries had been in vain, never expecting that her imperial grandfather was truly seriously injured.
Chapter 372 The Birth of a Celestial Artifact
Those damned extraterrestrials, worthy of possessing the Eight Prohibitions Holy Lord and the Divine Prohibition Severing the Dao, even though that Saint is dead, he still inflicted fatal damage on the Imperial Ancestor Shenwu...
No wonder the Imperial Ancestor mustered his strength and appeared in the world with the appearance of a young man. He must have been trying to buy time for the Divine Dynasty. But the truth will eventually come out and cannot be hidden.
If the Founding Ancestor Shenwu Sect were to pass away, the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, with its foundations destroyed, would inevitably be divided up by other forces. Its vast lands and rivers would crumble, and hundreds of thousands of royal descendants would fall from grace, left only to eke out a living in the dust.
Thinking of all this, Princess Yueshi emerged from the mist and knelt before Su Yu.
"Sister!" Xinggui was nestled in Su Yu, also noticed Princess Yueshi.
Yue Shi ignored her younger sister. With a determined look in her eyes, she pulled a jade phoenix hairpin from her temple. Then, her hand shone brightly as she used her Immortal Platform power to activate the hairpin and plunged it into her chest, intending to extract her own Ziwei King Blood.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the founder of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty possessed the Purple Blood Physique. His Imperial Dragon Qi was unmatched across the four states, and he eventually founded the Ziwei Divine Dynasty. His physique was later known as the Ziwei Star Physique, which is said to be able to draw upon the power of the Ziwei Star, making him infinitely powerful and invincible in heaven and earth.
Unfortunately, in the hundreds of thousands of years, the Divine Dynasty has never produced a pure-blooded Ziwei Star Physique again. At most, they possess a few drops of ancestral blood, comparable to King Physique, and can be called Ziwei King Physique, but they cannot display the glory of their ancestors.
Of this generation, only Yue Shi and Xinggui revived their ancestral bloodline...
"Madness!"
Seeing that the other party wanted to commit suicide, Su Yu frowned slightly. He raised his hand and snatched the jade phoenix hairpin. Then, he pointed out with his finger, and countless Void lines flew out, binding Princess Yueshi's hands and feet in the Void.
Su Yu, without a hint of arrogance, drew Princess Xinggui into his arms and said in an icy voice, "I think Mingdao doesn't want to be the emperor anymore. There are some things you shouldn't know."
"Why do you say such things, Your Majesty? My father has done nothing wrong. I am willing to die for the Divine Dynasty!"
Princess Yueshi was bound in the Void, with shimmering black chains intertwining around her body, outlining her graceful figure.
