As expected of the Twin Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi, it indeed has a significant effect on his injuries.
The Vast Sea Saint King could clearly feel that his strength had recovered somewhat in the past few days.
Although few.
However, one day, little by little, it will add up.
and...
"With my strength, once I've exhausted the medicinal effects, you'll probably be able to return from that secret realm. At that time, even if I encounter Great Saint in this Taiyu Divine Dynasty, I can escape, making it easier for the two of us to act."
"And..."
As he spoke, a smile appeared on the lips of the Vast Sea Saint King, a smile tinged with regret and sadness.
"Tens of thousands of years have passed, and although things have changed and people are no longer the same, I don't even know if some of the old folks are alive or dead. This time, I've come to the Taiyu Divine Dynasty, and I also want to take this opportunity to visit some old friends... or their descendants."
I see.
Lin Xuan nodded slightly, knowing that the Vast Sea Saint King had made up his mind.
Moreover, if the Vast Sea Saint King were to increase his strength further, it would also benefit them.
He immediately said, "In that case, let's split up."
"If anything happens, send a message immediately; life is of utmost importance."
Lin Xuan gave very serious instructions.
The Vast Sea Saint King had no reason to stubbornly resist.
He nodded. "I understand."
Having been given a second chance at life, this time, apart from the Sword Pavilion, he had nothing to protect.
Naturally, there's no need to sacrifice one's life for the Holy Dynasty anymore.
Having shared life and death with the Holy Dynasty back then, he wasn't entirely without resentment.
Even if I'm unwilling, so what?
The Vast Sea Saint Dynasty was founded by him, his father, his grandfather, and others. Under his control, it flourished and prospered. None of the people of the Holy Dynasty retreated, and he would naturally fight to the very last moment.
But nowadays...
He is free.
Seeing that the Vast Sea Saint King understood the gravity of the situation, Lin Xuan felt relieved.
He wasn't worried about the life or death of the Vast Sea Saint King.
As long as the Vast Sea Saint King doesn't confront him head-on, he will surely survive.
After all, the two of them possessed a Saint Grade instant teleportation array disc that they had obtained from the Demon Saint.
Unless they are set up in advance with a trap, such as a formation specifically designed to prevent teleportation, even Great Saint cannot hold them back!
Besides, he was once... a Saint King!
Meanwhile, inside the princess's residence of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty.
The environment inside the mansion is serene and elegant.
Dongfang Muxue has a cold and aloof personality and dislikes extravagance; everything in the princess's residence is exceptionally cold and secluded.
Adding to the recent events, the entire princess's residence seems to be shrouded in ice and snow, eerily desolate.
Many of the servants in the princess's residence moved about without making a sound, their furrowed brows filled with anxiety and worry.
Everyone moved very quietly, afraid of disturbing the ice crystals on the branches.
This anxiety and caution stemmed from nothing other than the imminent arrival of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty's Mansion Competition!
The Mansion Competition" is not simply a competition among the Sixteen Princes' Mansions.
It is also a power struggle between the princess and the Eldest Imperial Prince!
Whichever side wins will gain the upper hand in this competition.
Just a few days ago, everyone in the princess's residence breathed a sigh of relief, and was even somewhat happy.
After all, the Eldest Imperial Prince had lost two late -Late Saint Realm!
This situation is quite advantageous to the princess's side!
but...
In the past few days, no one knows what the Eldest Imperial Prince has done, but he has actually recruited three more Saint Realm to join his side, filling the void left by the fall of two Late Saint Realm!
And that's not the most important thing.
Most importantly, a prodigy named Xue Yan, one of the Eldest Imperial Prince's subordinates, has emerged as a dark horse and actually broke through to the Saint Realm in one fell swoop!
Those three Saint Realm are unable to influence the battle between the princess and the Eldest Imperial Prince for the time being.
After all, they are over fifty years old.
All we can control is the final battle.
They merely filled the gap in combat strength on the Eldest Imperial Prince's side.
What truly made the people in the princess's residence feel insecure was Xue Yan!
Xue Yan was only Thirty-Five!
Those below fifty are eligible to participate in the Mansion Competition!
At the age of Thirty-Five, Xue Yan broke through to the Saint Realm. It can be said that none of the geniuses in the entire Taiyu Divine Dynasty could compare with him!
As a result, Dongfang Muxue's good mood vanished completely.
She had been anxious for many days, but finally made up her mind to go and ask the Great Saint who would protect her to open the Dark Orchid Secret Realm ahead of schedule!
The Taiyu Divine Dynasty contains countless secret realms.
The keys to eighteen secret realms are held by the royal family of the Divine Dynasty.
Among them, five secret realms are controlled by the Great Saint who protects Dongfang Muxue. Apart from one minor secret realm and three second-rate secret realms, there is this top-tier Dark Orchid Secret Realm.
The Dark Orchid Secret Realm takes its name from a peerless sword immortal from tens of thousands of years ago.
At that time, that sword immortal descended upon the Taiyu Divine Dynasty, and his Sword Intent was terrifying, almost capable of splitting the heavens.
That terrifying Sword Intent was something even the Great Saint of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty couldn't withstand, let alone get close to.
However, the Great Saint of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty was very polite, only entertaining the sword immortal from a distance and providing him with healing medicine. He did not overstep his bounds at all. After all, at that time, the Taiyu Divine Dynasty was still very weak and not strong enough, and there was another divine dynasty suppressing it from the side.
Therefore, they cannot afford to offend such a person.
The Great Saint?
Tens of thousands of years ago, the concentration of Spiritual Power in the Eastern Continent was far more terrifying than it is now.
What is the Great Saint?!
The Great Saint did the right thing.
He never actively provoked that sword immortal, but that doesn't mean everyone was as docile as him. At the very least, another divine dynasty next to the Taiyu Divine Dynasty had its eye on this sword immortal.
This secret story is still recorded in the imperial library of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty.
"... The Mingli Divine Dynasty coveted the Sword Immortal's divine blood and attacked. The immortal was enraged and destroyed Mingli with One Sword strike."
"The rules of the four directions transform into a sword, severing the fortune of the Divine Dynasty, Spirit Transformation Dynasty as its foundation, the sword immortal's Sword Qi transforms into a secluded orchid, and the secret realm is formed."
In other words, the peerless sword immortal was seriously injured, which attracted the covetousness of that divine dynasty. In a fit of rage, the sword immortal caused the entire divine dynasty to be annihilated in Sword Qi. Subsequently, the entire Mingli Divine Dynasty gradually transformed into a secret realm.
In addition, the Sword Qi unleashed by that sword immortal caused orchids to bloom all over the ground, hence the Taiyu Divine Dynasty named this secret realm the Dark Orchid Secret Realm.
Now, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the Sword Qi of that secret realm has only slightly dissipated. Six thousand years ago, the people of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty were able to enter and explore it, bringing back the treasures inside.
The reward for this Mansion Competition was brought out by the current ruler of the divine dynasty two thousand years ago.
It is said that...
Within the Dark Orchid Secret Realm, countless fortuitous opportunity abound, including not only the inheritance of Great Saint Sage, but even...
It contains treasures left behind by that sword immortal!
Dongfang Muxue did the right thing.
The moment the Dark Orchid Secret Realm opened, it instantly attracted everyone's attention.
All the prodigies in the princess's mansion were eager to try, focusing all their attention on exploring the secret realm.
After all, such fortuitous opportunity doesn't come easily. Some of them might just be able to step directly into the Saint Realm, or even higher, because of this chance!
However, a piece of news that followed felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on the princess's household.
According to custom, the strongest member of the Princess's Mansion should go on this trip to the secret realm. Given that the Mansion Competition is imminent, the strongest prodigy should go instead.
The candidate had already been chosen by everyone.
But in the end, of the three spots released, besides two that were universally agreed upon, there was one unfamiliar name...
The entire audience was in an uproar.
