Chapter 1390
Fu Yun frowned slightly, recalling the scene when the head of the God-Slaying Guard came to the tribe to deliver a message.
The original quote is:
"If you dare to continue torturing my disciple Jiang Linglong, I will trigger the Soul Devouring Curse and torture your three tribal prodigies day and night."
"If you dare kill my disciples and slaughter my clansmen, I dare to slay three of your prodigies and exterminate the entire Nalan clan. I will extract their souls and refine their spirits, ensuring they are never reincarnated!"
He was present at the time and heard such threatening words. The Azure Sky Ancestor went berserk on the spot. If he hadn't been wary of the person's identity, he probably would have immediately taken action to suppress the messenger, the head of the God-Slaying Guard, and forced him to reveal who delivered the message.
Unfortunately, they dared not. To openly capture or kill high-ranking members of the God-Slaying Guard would be tantamount to challenging His Majesty the Emperor's authority, and the Emperor would have sufficient reason to use the machinery of violence to completely eliminate the Nalan clan.
After some deliberation, the clan chief Fu Yun nodded and ordered, "Send a message to the Nalan mining area to temporarily drive the demon dragon's fifty million clansmen to the mainland to await their fate."
"As for that demonic dragon, it secretly swallowed our clan's sacred medicine and forcibly transformed from a carp spirit into a three-clawed white dragon. With such a tremendous opportunity, how could our Nalan clan let it go unpunished?"
After pondering for a moment, Fu Yun instructed, "Continue to use true fire to temper her and force out the unrefined Dragon Transformation Elixir from her body. However, remember, do not damage her soul."
"Yes, clan leader!" The young man immediately bowed and then left the clan hall.
For this operation, the Nalan clan directly dispatched five immortals, along with a hundred primordial spirit cultivators, many of whom were outstanding earth immortals with already renowned reputations.
The hundred Nascent Soul Daoists are also the backbone of the Nalan clan, although they have tried their best to conceal their whereabouts.
But tens of thousands of years ago, a certain feudal lord secretly cultivated a large army of cultivators, and then openly rebelled. Subsequently, His Majesty the Emperor led a group of immortals from the Immortal Slaying Hall to crush and annihilate them.
Learning from this lesson, His Majesty the Emperor immediately began to make arrangements.
Now, tens of thousands of years later, the three God-Slaying Guard branches in the three cities of Nalan, and the three Wanbaoshan estates within the cities, are like six nails driven into various locations in the Nalan clan's fiefdom.
Any slight movement by the Nalan clan's top combat force would be detected.
This time was no exception. Five powerful Loose Immortals led a hundred Nascent Soul Realm cultivators out of the three cities. This news was reported by the head of the Slaughter God Guard in Nalan's fiefdom to the headquarters of the Slaughter God Guard.
Of course, this news eventually reached the hands of the Celestial Fox Ancestor.
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is not only His Majesty the Emperor's personal spirit beast, but she is also a celestial being herself. The department she is in charge of is almost as important as the God-Slaying Guard, namely the Myriad Treasures Mountain in the Three Thousand Kings City. It is a pure intelligence department and a money-making department.
Upon receiving this information, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox immediately informed His Majesty.
However, since it was only five Loose Immortals and a hundred Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who were dispatched, His Majesty simply said, "We can keep an eye on their movements," and said nothing more.
"Master, compared to the Nalan clan's petty tricks," the Heavenly Fox Fairy said softly, massaging her master's shoulders with some concern, "Ever since you announced the Immortal Destiny Conference, several small and medium-sized star dynasties near our Xuanxiao Star have also been selecting young geniuses at various levels."
Inside the study of the imperial palace, Xuan Xiaomo, dressed in a golden robe, was intently studying a tattered ancient book in his hands. Upon hearing the words of the spirit beast Tianhu'er, he asked, "Has any news come?"
“Naturally, there is some information worth noting.” Tianhu’er smiled and transformed into a nine-tailed fox, landing on His Majesty’s shoulder and rubbing against His Majesty’s cheek. “Xuanwu Star, Qinglong Mountain, and Baihu Star, these three mid-level stars, are said to have each selected a young person with great fortune. Their strength seems to be quite strong, comparable to the top ten of the Qing Ranking in my Xuanxiao Great World.”
"The List of Outstanding Individuals?" His Majesty the Emperor was clearly unaware of this so-called List of Outstanding Individuals.
Upon hearing this, Tianhu'er chuckled and said, "The so-called 'Green List' is simply a ranking of the younger generation's strength among the thousand princely cities near the capital. It's just a pastime for the younger generation, so His Majesty naturally wouldn't know about such trivial matters!"
"Hmm, who are the top ten on my Xuanxiao Qing Ranking?" His Majesty asked, clearly showing some interest.
"The last time the Ranking was updated was thirty years ago," Tianhu'er said with a smile. "The first place is naturally the contemporary genius of my Xuanxiao clan, who is said to be a direct descendant of His Majesty, named Xuanxiao Ziling."
Upon hearing this news, His Majesty rarely showed a smile, saying, "If the descendants of my Xuanxiao clan can live up to expectations and win first place in this grand gathering of immortals, that would be the best outcome."
"Master, rest assured, ever since the Holy City envoy arrived and I learned that the Immortal Destiny Gathering was being held to select talented individuals to train on the frontier, I have already begun investigating this matter," Tianhu'er said with a smug smile.
"This young Ziling was born with the arrival of heaven and earth's colorful light. At the age of three, he cultivated the first-class Crimson Bright Divine Body with the help of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram. Now, after less than two hundred years of cultivation, he has already broken through to become a Nascent Soul. With the support of my royal family's foundation and the Pure Yang Qi Refining Method, as well as many supernatural powers, he is now in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. He is only one step away from transforming his Nascent Soul into a Golden Lotus Nascent Soul."
"Ancestor Wuxin further deduced his future achievements and determined that this child was born to face a calamity, and his future achievements were limitless. That is why he was able to be bestowed the Pure Yang Dharma by Ancestor Wuxin at the age of three," Tianhu'er said calmly.
"Oh? Born to face calamity? Could it be this border crisis?" His Majesty seemed to have some thoughts on the matter, and asked, "Who is Ziling's master?"
"Naturally, it was Ancestor Wuxin who personally accepted him as a disciple." Tianhu'er also greatly admired Ancestor Wuxin and continued to report, "I never imagined that Ancestor Wuxin's casual remark would come true two hundred years later. This junior Ziling might just be the great opportunity for our Xuanxiao royal family to soar to the heavens with the help of a powerful Immortal King."
Tianhu'er seemed to have thought of something and said with some emotion, "The profound mysteries of the Great Dao are truly unimaginable."
Upon hearing that it was his great-uncle Wuxin who personally accepted him as a disciple, Xuan Xiaomo shook his head and smiled. "Ever since the rebellion of the feudal lords was quelled, my great-uncle has been intentionally or unintentionally selecting geniuses from the three thousand fiefdoms. I wonder what kind of outstanding disciple he has received in the past thousand years?"
“Yes, I have a master,” Tianhu’er said, as if she had thought of something.
"Really? Your high standards, Uncle, have found a new disciple. Who is it that has caught your eye?" Xuan Xiaomo asked with a smile, clearly concerned about the matter.
“I’ve seen that little girl before,” Tianhu’er recalled with a smile. “She should be the daughter of the current Qingtian Marquis of the Qingtian Clan, the lord of a remote fiefdom, a little girl named Qingtian Yu’er.”
"The Qingtian Clan?" Xuan Xiaomo recalled for a moment and immediately thought of a very outstanding subordinate when the world was divided up. "He's actually a descendant of him?"
"Yes, Master, times have changed. Those who followed His Majesty in conquering the four directions have also died under the tribulation. However, it is unexpected that, 100,000 years later, one of his descendants was born who caused the celestial phenomenon of 'the blue sea tides appear and the starry sea and bright moon rise' at birth."
"The blue sea tides reveal itself, the starry sky and bright moon rise?" Xuan Xiaomo repeated the sentence lightly, nodding slightly. "He's a promising talent."
