Su Fan and Jiang Xueyi learned of the upheaval in the Desolate Domain

"Huh?? Is it that easy to tell? The two of us are indeed from the Desolate Domain!"

Hearing this, Su Fan and Jiang Xueyi froze despite themselves. They exchanged a glance, then nodded and said in surprise.

"No wonder you didn't know. According to my father, the five pinnacle factions of your Desolate Domain once sent disciples there every hundred years as well..."

"It's just that the cultivation of your Desolate Domain's prodigies really wasn't quite presentable... uh! Don't be angry! Their cultivation was just a little... low! They were eliminated early every time. Eventually, they really couldn't save face anymore, so they stopped sending disciples to participate. Counting the years now, your Desolate Domain hasn't participated for tens of thousands of years!"

"So never mind you two, even they themselves might have forgotten by now!"

Seeing their expressions, Shangguan Feiyue spread her hands and explained.

Shangguan Feiyue could understand it, too. The prodigies of the other domains were either in the Divine Body Realm or the Divine Power Realm, while those of the Desolate Domain were only in the Soul Infant Realm!

They simply weren't on the same level. Faced with endless mockery, endless ridicule, and endless contempt, who would still have the face to come?

"So that's how it is."

"No wonder we never heard about it in the Desolate Domain. Our Desolate Domain's prodigies truly can't compare with those of the other domains..."

Hearing this, Su Fan couldn't help nodding. It was indeed the truth. Leaving aside the other domains, among the prodigies he had seen in the Profound Domain alone, no fewer than three were in the Divine Power Realm, and there were countless more in the Divine Body Realm!

The Desolate Domain truly wasn't on the same level. Jun Wudao, hailed as the Desolate Domain's number one prodigy, probably wouldn't even make the rankings in the Profound Domain!

What, then, of the prodigy tournament in Heavenly Moon Commandery of the Central Heavenly Domain?

Hearing Shangguan Feiyue's words, Jiang Xueyi couldn't help nodding as well. That was indeed the case. No wonder he had never heard about it even in the Divine Sect. Perhaps they truly didn't wish to mention it!

"Let's go. With your cultivation, you two can definitely restore your Desolate Domain's good name. Hehe... you can come back with me, too."

Shangguan Feiyue smiled gracefully as she spoke.

"Haha! All right!"

"Then we'll trouble you, Miss Feiyue. Hehe, I happen to want to see just how splendid and colorful the magnificent mountains and rivers of the outside world are, and how the prodigies of the other domains differ!"

A gleam flashed through Su Fan's eyes, filled with intense fighting spirit. Naturally, he wanted to contend and exchange blows with those top prodigies from the various domains!

Seeing Su Fan like this, Jiang Xueyi couldn't help smiling as well. Naturally, she knew what sort of person he was!

Soon, they left the place!

A short while later.

Outside the Land of Divine Fall.

"Young miss! You've finally come out! Heavenly Moon Commandery was thrown into chaos just now. We were worried sick about you! Young miss, the next time you sneak away, could you take this servant along?"

The moment Shangguan Feiyue, Su Fan, and Jiang Xueyi stepped out of the Land of Divine Fall, they heard an exceedingly anxious woman's voice coming from the distant horizon.

Looking up, they saw a warship tens of thousands of zhang in size hovering in the distant void, spilling forth vast fluctuations of spatial power!

Ancient and slender, its entire hull shone a brilliant golden yellow. Shaped like a long shuttle, it seemed to be inlaid with countless sources of light, flickering incessantly like tiny suns!

A warship?

Truly worthy of someone from Heavenly Moon Commandery City in the Central Heavenly Domain!

Hum!

The warship tens of thousands of zhang in size slowly began descending from the sky. Surging spatial power swirled in every direction, producing a deafening hum.

Boom!

The moment the warship landed, a graceful figure leaped out and sped toward Shangguan Feiyue.

"Young miss! Young miss! I was worried sick about you! Just now, the whole world seemed to face the apocalypse. Sob, sob! I thought I'd never see you again!"

The graceful figure called out as she ran. Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet carried worry, anxiety, and joy. She was an extremely adorable young woman!

She wore a close-fitting blue-green maid's dress. Her features were youthful, but she was also exceedingly beautiful!

"Young miss! Sob, sob, sob!"

As a fragrant breeze swept over, the young woman was already standing before Shangguan Feiyue. She threw herself into her arms and hugged her tightly!

"Hehe... all right! All right, haven't I come out now? What was that apocalypse you mentioned?"

Shangguan Feiyue gently patted the back of her little maid, who had no sense of hierarchy, comforting her. Suddenly recalling her mention of an apocalypse, she couldn't help asking curiously.

Su Fan and Jiang Xueyi swept their gazes around and found no one from Thunder God Hall. They, too, turned curious gazes toward the little maid.

"Just a quarter of an hour ago, someone over in the Desolate Domain touched upon a taboo! It enraged the rules of heaven, bringing down a supreme heavenly will. Terrifying heavenly might enveloped all of Heavenly Moon Commandery, as though heaven and earth would collapse in the next instant!"

"In the end, it seemed to fight an unknown existence, and it appeared to have been annihilated by that unknown existence. Even in the Profound Domain, I felt the overwhelming terror of those dreadful aftershocks. By now, I fear the Desolate Domain may have already collapsed?"

Just then, a tall, white-haired old man wearing a black cloak spoke from afar. As his words rang out, he vanished from where he stood in a flash and reappeared before Shangguan Feiyue.

"Elder Mo!"

Seeing the old man, Shangguan Feiyue called out, her voice carrying respect.

Elder Mo was the Dao protector her father had assigned to her side to keep her safe. He looked about sixty or seventy, but his cultivation had reached the One Tribulation Human God Realm.

"Senior! What you just said... the Desolate Domain may have already collapsed?"

"Senior, is what you said true?"

Hearing Elder Mo's words, Su Fan's and Jiang Xueyi's hearts lurched, and a bad premonition instantly surged within them!

"Hmm?"

At this, Elder Mo immediately frowned, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes. He then shifted his gaze to Shangguan Feiyue, seemingly asking where these ill-mannered juniors had come from.

"Don't be angry, Elder Mo. There's something you don't know. These two friends of mine are both from the Desolate Domain. Was what you said earlier true?"

Shangguan Feiyue glanced at Su Fan and Jiang Xueyi. She could naturally see the shock, nervousness, worry, and fear on the two women, and promptly offered an explanation.

"Of course it's true, young miss! You have no idea how terrifying it was! That supreme heavenly might pressed down so hard that countless powerful existences knelt, trembling. It was as if heaven itself was furious, as if heaven and earth would be destroyed in the very next instant. I was scared out of my wits!"

The little maid, Xiao Tao, spoke up then, gesturing with both hands as she talked. She looked exceedingly adorable!
