After the Heaven and Earth Altar was opened, the evil death Qi, blood Qi and death Qi that permeated Kunlun’s Field started to wither away.

To most of the creatures, they only saw some strange scenes, so they had no idea of what happened.

Only those who were standing at the top of the chain sensed the dangers.

The Crazy Alcoholic and Gu Songzi were relieved as they saw the blood Qi withering away.

When the blood Qi permeated the heaven and earth, even they felt that their saint souls were trembling, as that force was horrifying.

Gu Songzi took a look at Kong Lanyou who was standing at the top of the mountain. He jumped up, bowed toward Kong Lanyou and said, “Saint Elder, your cultivation is far superior to ours. Can you tell us what just happened?”

Kong Lanyou put her hands behind her back, and her white hair waved in the air. She stared at the sky and said, “A turbulence is coming, and no living beings in Kunlun’s Field can get out of it.”

Gu Songzi was confused, “Empress Chi Yao has already become a God. Nobody can rival her anymore. Ancestral Dragon Mountain, Nine Li Palace, or those beast emperors in Square Ocean Region? I don’t think they dare cause any chaos.”

Kong Lanyou shook her head. Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows a bit as she sensed someone.

“Take care of Zhang Ruochen. I’ll come back soon.”

Kong Lanyou moved her body and vanished from the mountain top.

At the next moment, Kong Lanyou was eight thousand miles away, landing on the shore of an ancient river. She stared in front of her, only to see Empress Chi Yao standing beside the water with her hands behind her back.

There were four beasts around Empress Chi Yao, and they looked like four pets. They lay on the ground. One of them looked like a dragon, one of them was a white cat with nine tails, one of them was a fish with wings, and one of them was a crocodile as large as a palm.

Kong Lanyou shot a glance at those four small beasts, and she was shocked.

Those weren’t just any four pets. Instead, they were the masters of the Savage Barren Secret Region and Square Ocean Region. She didn’t expect them to fall this low.

Kong Lanyou looked to Chi Yao again. She looked very cold and said, “Why did you hurt him again, Chi Yao? Why did you show up after hurting him?”

Empress Chi Yao was very nonchalant. She said with her back facing Kong Lanyou, “Are you really talking about hurting with me? Do you really know what it means to be hurt? I’ll ask you one question: would you feel more hurt by killing him or letting him kill you?”

Kong Lanyou was dazed as she didn’t know how to answer the question as she’d rather die than to hurt Zhang Ruochen.

Chi Yao looked very conflicted. She said, “My eight hundred years, eight hundred years. Each day felt like a year for me. As for him, eight hundred years is just like the blink of an eye. Do you really think you’re qualified to talk about being hurt?”

Kong Lanyou said, “But what’re you afraid of? Why didn’t you just meet him?”

Chi Yao closed her eyes and didn’t respond.

Kong Lanyou said, “What are you doing? What were you conspiring in the past? My cousin is way smarter than I am. He’ll be able to figure it out very soon. Should he kill you after he figures it out? Why did you torture him like that?”

“Death is going to be a release and a mercy to me. I’ve been waiting for that day to come. Being alive is cruelty and torture. If that day comes, I’ll definitely give him a perfect reason to kill me, but he has to have the power to kill me first, otherwise, he’ll be useless.”

Chi Yao said, “I let you live because you were also useless and not worth my energies, but now, you’ve already become a supreme saint. You can claim to be an emperor, so you’re becoming a larger threat to my First Central Empire. I can’t let you roam free.”

“Are you going to kill me?” Kong Lanyou asked.

The four little beasts on the ground all raised their heads and looked at Kong Lanyou with sympathy.

Chi Yao said, “You only have two choices. One, follow me and fight for a future that we’re not sure of. Two, I’ll kill you right now because you’re going to die anyway. At least this way you can die with dignity.”

Kong Lanyou didn’t know what Chi Yao was implying here, but she could still figure out something.

In the end, Kong Lanyou chose to leave with Chi Yao. She didn’t even go back to check on Zhang Ruochen as she didn’t want to see his vulnerability and loneliness, which would haunt her forever.

One year later.

Kunlun’s Field returned to being peaceful and prosperous.

The immortal vampires were crushed by the imperial government. Those who survived wouldn’t be able to do anything anymore.

The Death Zen Sect in the north retreated to the outer region, and Death Zen Elder gave an order that their followers would never enter Kunlun’s Field if the Empress was still reigning.

Fengdu Ghost City was conquered, and more than ninety percent of the ghosts were annihilated.

The savage beasts from Savage Barren Secret Region and Square Water Race all surrendered to the First Central Empire.

This was a time of prosperity unlike anything before.

All the previous talents had grown to be overlords.

Xue Wuye became the leader of Fragrance City, Monk Lidi became the leader of Brahma Way, Chi Wansui became a heavenly king, Ouyang Huan became the vice leader of Demonic Sect, and Sui Han became the leader of Zither Sect.

Everyone was writing their own legends, trying to become stronger.

However, that Time and Space Descendant, Zhang Ruochen, who used to be invincible among his peers, disappeared for a year. Everyone thought he was dead.

Gradually, people started to forget about him and talk about new legends.

“The spiritual root, Divine Phoenix Tree in the south is amending the loopholes of Heaven and Earth rules in Kunlun’s Field. I heard that many monks are rushing there.”

“It’s a spiritual root of heaven and earth. If someone refines with him, he’ll benefit a great deal. I heard many great beings from the imperial government keep sending refining resources there, hoping to be friends with him. I don’t think he’ll give a damn about you with your talents and cultivation.”

…

Among all the ancient races in Kunlun’s Field, Fire Race was no doubt the most prominent one.

Fire Race had been guarding the Divine Phoenix Tree. They were mysterious and low-key, and people thought that they might have died out. However, after the Divine Phoenix Tree was revived, everyone started to pay attention to Fire Race again.

Their power also started to show.

Fengdu Ghost City was conquered by the monks of Fire Race, and they suppressed the city leader, ‘Ghost King Shenchu.’ They annihilated more than ninety percent of the ghosts in the east.

Fire Race harnessed a great reputation after that.

Qiu Yu, Divine Phoenix Tree, also became a renowned leader after that battle.

One day, Qiu Yu arrived at Peakless Mountain, with four elders of the Fire Race. They were received by the leader of Demonic Sect himself.

The entire Moon Worship Demonic Sect was thrilled, and countless monks wanted to see the face of Qiu Yu.

“Qiu Yu used to be ranked first on the ‘Half-Saint Rank.’ Even Monk Lidi and Xue Wuye were only ranked the second and the fourth.”

“I heard that Qiu Yu was extremely handsome, at the same level as Xue Wuye.”

“Qiu Yu is Divine Phoenix Divine Tree, which means he’s a child of God. Chances are he can become a God in the future. If someone can be appreciated by him, his potential will surge.”

At dawn, there came a piece of news that Qiu Yu went to Peakless Mountain to propose, hoping that the leader of Demonic Sect would marry him with the saintess Mu Lingxi.

Many girls got jealous after hearing about it.

“Mu Lingxi is so lucky that she’s admired by Qiu Yu. Perhaps the vice hierarch needs to respect her now.”

“It would be great if Mu Lingxi marries you. We might be benefited a great deal.”

“The saintess has already finished refining her ice phoenix body, which matches perfectly with Qiu Yu.”

…

After they confirmed the marriage, a large group of monks from the fire race and Moon Worship Demonic Sect went to where Mu Lingxi lived.

QIu Yu wore a yellow robe. He was tall and handsome, but aloof. Female monks were all attracted to him everywhere he walked.

Qiu Yu then stopped walking and said, “Let’s go tell her after everything’s settled. She’ll definitely be very angry. I need to prepare a gift for her.”

Ouyang Huan, the vice hierarch of the demonic sect chuckled. “You saved Lingxi’s life before. There’s always been a strong bond between you two. She’ll be nothing but exhilarated, right, Uncle Yun?”

Yun Zheng was ecstatic after hearing Ouyang Huan call him ‘Uncle Yun.’

Before, Ouyang Huan would never call him Uncle Yun and he was a nobody in the sect.

However, with the wedding between Mu Lingxi and Qiu Yu coming, Yu Zheng’s status was changed completely as he was the father of Mu Lingxi.

Even the vice hierarch had to call him Uncle Yun now, which meant all the monks in the sect needed to venerate him.

Yun Zheng smiled and said, “It’s her honor to be liked by you, but she’s been rebellious for her entire life. If she offends you in any way, you need to discipline her. She needs to change her temper as soon as possible.”
