Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yin Ruobing’s powers were only equivalent to that of peak-stage Heaven Monarch before. She was a five-star martial artist who had already realized one three-star and one five-star dao pattern. Afterward, after studying one of the Mystic Thearch’s Heaven Paintings, she secluded herself for several months. Finally, she broke through.
The heaven and earth granted her three forces of star spheres. It showed that Yin Ruobing had already become a DemiG.o.d. Jiang Yi used his divine senses to scan inside the Mystic Divine Palace and found that Yin Ruobing had already congealed a G.o.d spirit. What was confusing, however, was that Yin Ruobing did not obtain any star sphere forces when she realized the Mystic Thearch’s Heaven Painting earlier. Could it be that she had also realized a supreme dao pattern?
No matter what, Jiang Yi felt genuinely happy for Yin Ruobing now that she had become a DemiG.o.d. After several minutes, Yin Ruobing finally absorbed all the forces of the star spheres. She opened her eyes, and immediately, Jiang Yi teleported her out of the Mystic Divine Palace. Aside from her, Jiang Yi also teleported Yi Chan out.
“Majesty Father!”
Once Yi Chan’s eyes fell on the Buddha Emperor, tears flowed down her cheeks; and she ran into his arms. The first person Yin Ruobing saw was Jiang Yi. Joy filled her eyes. Just as she started to say something, she caught sight of the Yin Emperor. Her expression became mixed with emotion. There were joy and fear. She paused for a while before getting down on her knees in front of him. She stuttered and said, “Your unfilial daughter Ruobing pays her greeting to Majesty Father.”
“Hmph!”
The Yin Emperor’s eyes were filled with mixed emotions as well. He had just escaped death and regained his freedom. Of course, he felt happy seeing his own daughter. Yet, he could not set his pride aside since Jiang Yi was around. All he could do was tut and turn his face away.
“Little Chan’er! Father almost could not see you again.”
The Buddha Emperor was trained in the heart of zen. He was very connected with his own desires and was not too concerned with his pride. There was pure joy on his face.
This made Yi Chan cry all the more. In front of the Buddha Emperor, she was no longer an arrogant, young girl. She was no longer a girl who held her nose up high and looked down on everyone. For this period while the Buddha Thearch and Buddha Emperor were missing and while Jiang Yi was in grave danger, she felt immense pressure. Now, seeing the Buddha Emperor, she could finally let it all out.
“That’s alright. There are so many people around here. Don’t cry!”
The Buddha Emperor stroked Yi Chan’s purple hair gently. At once, he sent a voice transmission to Yi Chan to find out what was happening outside. Once he found out that the Zi Clan had almost destroyed the Yi Clan, his eyes filled with hatred. A while later, he found out that Jiang Yi was the one who rescued the Yi Clan and got the Saint Empress to take care of them in the Snow Region. He turned to Jiang Yi, his gaze softening and turning warm.
Yi Chan told him about the war that almost broke out between humans and demons. The Buddha Emperor frowned, a hint of threat in his eyes. After hearing everything from Yi Chan, he looked down at Yin Ruobing, who was still on her knees. Then, he looked up at the Yin Emperor. Lastly, he turned to the awkward Jiang Yi. “Old Yin, all of us have already died once. Why are you still so close-minded? Since Ruobing has decided to follow Jiang Yi, just accept it. If you feel like it’s too difficult to put your pride down, I’ll allow Little Chan’er to marry Jiang Yi as well…”
“Uh!”
The Yin Emperor, Night Emperor, and Xuan Emperor’s expressions all flickered. Jiang Yi looked astonished as well. Yi Chan was so shy that she wanted to just dig a hole in the ground and bury herself. She tugged at the Buddha Emperor’s arm and said, “Father, what are you saying? Chan’er doesn’t want to marry…”
“Hahaha!”
The Buddha Emperor laughed, looking at Yi Chan mockingly. “You’re my daughter; do you think I won’t be able to see this? Jiang Yi, you are really somebody. You’ve stolen the hearts of the second and third most beautiful women in the world. You’re more powerful than I was back in the day.”
“…”
Jiang Yi touched his own nose coyly, not knowing what to say. This Buddha Emperor did not look in the least bit like a monk. Even if he was, he was a playful one. He did not even let his own daughter off with the teasing.
“Alright, alright! Let’s stop talking nonsense. Ruobing, get up. Let’s talk business.”
On seeing that Yi Chan was about to get angry, the Buddha Emperor quickly became serious. “Old Yin, stop giving Jiang Yi a hard time for now. The Yin Thearch and the grandfather of my clan still have to be rescued by him. Don’t belittle this boy. His powers are way greater than ours now. He has killed even the Evil Thearch. The new is replacing the old. You’ll just have to accept it.”
“What?”
The Yin Emperor and the others looked at Jiang Yi, shocked. The Evil Thearch was an eight-star martial artist, both formidable and powerful. In their hearts, all the Nine Thearchs were everlasting. How could Jiang Yi kill one of them?
“Is this true?”
The Yin Emperor asked in a low voice. Seeing the Buddha Emperor and Yi Chan nod, his expression changed. He roared, “This brat killed the Evil Thearch. Won’t he kill all of us as well? The Nine Thearch Clans are connected. Since he has killed the Evil Thearch, the Nine Thearch Clans will surely take him as an arch-enemy! Buddha Emperor, are you an old fool? You still want to let your daughter marry him?”
The Buddha Emperor waved his hand. “Don’t get carried away. With regard to this, I think… Jiang Yi did the right thing! As for why, I will explain it all to you later. The most important thing to do now is to save the old men.”
The Buddha Emperor did not bother about the Yin Emperor and the rest after this. He turned instead to Jiang Yi and asked, “Jiang Yi, do you know more about the old man of my clan?”
“Mei Ru, the Thearch of the Black Sea, said that the Buddha Thearch, Yin Thearch, Xuan Thearch, and Night Empress are stuck in the Death G.o.d’s Dense Sea. That’s the mystic realm in the middle of the Black Sea.” As if recalling something, Jiang Yi called out, “Mei Ru, come in!”
Swis.h.!.+
A black figure flew into the palace. Mei Ru got down on her knees respectfully. “Lord!”
“Jiang Yi, who is she?”
At the exact same time, both Yin Ruobing and Yi Chan sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi. There was curiosity in their eyes. Mei Ru looked too s.e.xy. Jiang Yi was a famous player. The two of them were understandably wary.
“Don’t misunderstand. This is the Thearch of the Black Sea. She’s a demon thearch. I have… controlled her to become a soul slave. Let’s talk business first,” Jiang Yi explained to both of them. In a serious tone, he asked, “Mei Ru, have the Buddha Thearch and the others entered the Death G.o.d’s Dense Sea? Tell me the situation.”
“En!”
Mei Ru explained politely, “A few months ago, a group of formidable martial artists came into the Black Sea. They seemed to be chasing after a DemiG.o.d. They killed many demons of the Black Sea. I wanted to go and fight them, but upon realizing that it was the Buddha Thearch, I decided not to. The Buddha Thearch is a nine-star formidable martial artist. My demonic arts would be useless against him. Later on, they entered the Death G.o.d’s Dense Sea and never emerged again.”
“The Death G.o.d’s Dense Sea?”
The Buddha Emperor frowned. He asked, “Have you entered that mystic realm before? Do you know what it’s like in there?”
“I dare not enter!” Mei Ru shook her head and said. “That mystic realm is very frightening. Throughout history, all the demons that entered that realm never emerged. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, one of the demons almost as powerful as I am entered, but… it did not emerge. That’s why most of the demons here dare not enter that realm!”
“That frightening?”
The Buddha Emperor and the others exchanged knowing looks. Each of them looked somber. Even someone as powerful as the Buddha Thearch did not emerge after entering that realm. It was beginning to sound much scarier than they imagined.
This concerned the various clan heads’ safety. The Yin Emperor and the others did not dare to give Jiang Yi a hard time anymore. This time, Jiang Yi saved both the Buddha Emperor and the Yin Emperor. If they still gave him a hard time and if he decided to wash his hands off the matter, who would go in and save the rest? With their powers, they could not even hope that they would emerge alive.
Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing fell silent as well. Yin Ruobing spoke to Yi Chan via voice transmission and was now caught up with whatever was happening outside as well. Still, she had no idea what they were to do now. What if Jiang Yi went in and never came back out?
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi’s laugh broke the silence. He scanned the group and said, “Buddha Emperor, Yin Emperor, please bring Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing back to the East Imperial Continent. I will go into the Death G.o.d’s Dense Sea with Mei Ru. Believe me: I will bring the old men back safely.”
“No way!”
Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing shouted at the exact same time. “I want to come as well!”
“Hahaha!”
The Buddha Emperor looked at the Yin Emperor mockingly and laughed. “Old Yin, see for yourself. Your daughter is all grown up, and you cannot control her anymore. Accept reality, or your daughter and your son-in-law will not acknowledge you anymore…”
