Chapter 823: Chapter 823: A Chance Encounter with Feng Chuan, Instant Rapport, Sudden Surge in Numbers
Yin Rurong admitted that she had thoughts of betrayal.
In her mind, countless terrifying thoughts flashed by, making her gaze turn ice-cold and ruthless.
“Without Sacred Arms, my path injuries are impossible to recover.”
“Of course, I could wait for the return of the Old Saint Masters; their strength would surely be able to eliminate my path injuries.”
“However, the problem is that the Old Saint Masters have been out for thousands of years, and I cannot wait another few thousand years.”
“So, if I want to quickly erase my path injuries, there is only one way, that is… to betray Shenzhou and join the Celestial Clan.”
“They control the Thunder Pool Grand Hall, and if I can enter it, I can undergo tribulation and become a saint.”
Yin Rurong’s gaze turned cold.
After much thought, she made her decision.
Betrayal!
“Shenzhou doesn’t even have a Supreme Saint, while the Celestial Clan has Saintly Venerables who can burst Heavenly Dao, even a fool knows where to stand.”
“But the current problem is, how do I find the upper echelons of the Celestial Clan, like the Destiny Empress and others?”
Yin Rurong was caught in a dilemma.
“Right!”
“I can go searching in the deep sea, I heard that the surviving Celestial Reincarnators have all fled to the deep sea, if I can meet a reincarnator, they can message transmission for me.”
“Find Destiny Empress, and everything will be easy to talk about.”
Yin Rurong made her decision.
Using some methods, she obtained a Crimson Moon Compass, tore through the void, and arrived at the depths of the Boundless Seas.
It didn’t take long for Yin Rurong to make a discovery.
“Found it!”
With a wave of her wide sleeve, she tore through the void again, and when she reappeared, she was on an island.
“I must say, the Crimson Moon Compass is quite useful.”
Yin Rurong sneered.
Divine Sense swept out.
She immediately locked onto a Celestial Reincarnator hiding on the island and healing, with a Triple Peak Divine Origin Realm cultivation level, whose left arm had been chopped off and could not regenerate.
Swoosh!
Yin Rurong appeared in front of the person, who was a white-robed woman, and immediately grabbed her neck.
“Yin… Yin Rurong?!”
This Celestial Reincarnator was so frightened that her eyes nearly popped out, she gave a miserable smile, “What good deeds have I done to have the Tianmiao Holy Land Saint Master come to capture me?”
“You indeed aren’t worthy!”
Yin Rurong sneered, “Tell me how to contact Destiny Empress, I have words for her.”
“You want to ambush our Empress? Heh! Dream on!”
The white-robed woman’s gaze was resolute, and in the next moment, she detonated herself in a booming explosion, but it did no harm to Yin Rurong.
“This… this is quite speechless!”
Yin Rurong’s mouth twitched.
She was genuinely asking for directions, but who could have thought, this Reincarnator thought she wanted to ambush Destiny Empress, causing a misunderstanding.
With no choice, Yin Rurong had to continue searching.
Effort pays off.
Half an hour later, Yin Rurong found a second Reincarnator, grabbed her by the neck, and inquired about the whereabouts of Destiny Empress.
Boom!
The result was the same.
That Celestial Reincarnator also self-detonated, very decisive and very brave, stubborn as iron.
“Have their brains malfunctioned?”
Yin Rurong cursed under her breath.
She could only continue searching.
In a blink of an eye, several days had passed.
By a stroke of unexpected events, Yin Rurong reached deep within the seabed, looking at the Tree of Life of the Celestial Reincarnators growing underwater, and was stunned.
What made her even more incredulous was that Feng Chuan was also here!
Yin Rurong’s eyes moved upward, looking at the fruits of the Tree of Life nurturing those Celestial Reincarnators, and her expression changed drastically.
“Is this the place where Reincarnators are nurtured?”
Yin Rurong couldn’t help exclaiming.
Under the Tree of Life.
Feng Chuan was issuing orders to the matured second-generation Reincarnators but suddenly heard a woman’s voice, got scared, and turned around.
“Yin… Yin Rurong!”
Recognizing the comer, Feng Chuan’s face turned pale.
Done for!
I can’t believe I’ve been discovered by Yin Rurong, the Tianmiao Holy Land Saint Master, isn’t this going to be bad?
His face turned as pale as snow.
“Aren’t you Feng Chuan, the Saint Heir of Wanzong Holy Land, how come you are here, and moreover, mixed up with the Celestial Reincarnators?”
Yin Rurong asked, her voice as cold as frost.
“Run!”
Feng Chuan didn’t dare talk much, turned around, and ran.
“Stay!”
Yin Rurong stretched out her hand, grabbed through the air, and Feng Chuan was fixed in place.
She slowly walked over and found that the Crimson Moon Compass couldn’t detect the traces of those nearby Reincarnators, which she found strange.
“Tianmiao Holy Master, have mercy, I know nothing, I was just passing by!”
Feng Chuan was very cowardly and quickly begged for mercy.
“Answer my questions honestly, if there’s half a lie, you will be annihilated on the spot!”
Yin Rurong spoke coldly.
“Yes, yes, I will definitely tell the whole truth,” Feng Chuan nodded repeatedly.
“What are you doing here?”
“I…”
Feng Chuan wanted to hide the truth, but thinking over, if he didn’t speak sincerely, he would definitely be killed, so he could only tell the truth, seeking a ray of hope.
Upon learning that the Tree of Life was nurturing second-generation Reincarnators that could avoid detection by the Crimson Moon Compass, Yin Rurong was extremely surprised.
Later, upon learning that Feng Chuan had betrayed Shenzhou and connected with Destiny Empress, Yin Rurong was overjoyed.
“So, you are my noble savior!”
Yin Rurong laughed, her eyes filled with joy, and let go of Feng Chuan’s neck.
Seeing this, Feng Chuan was petrified in place.
Noble savior?
How did I become a noble savior?
He couldn’t fathom.
“I was just looking for Destiny Empress, you, quickly contact her for me,” Destiny Empress didn’t bother talking much to Feng Chuan; she demanded in an ordering tone.
Feng Chuan clenched his teeth.
To save himself, he could only take out the communication order and contact Destiny Empress located at Suspended Mountain.
Half an hour later.
Rip!
Above the Tree of Life.
A tear in the void appeared, revealing the world behind the crack, which was the mysterious Suspended Mountain.
“Are you looking for me?”
The Destiny Empress stared across space at Yin Rurong and with a slight inhale, countless currents of air enveloped Yin Rurong, transporting her to Suspended Mountain.
Then, the spatial crack closed rapidly.
Feng Chuan was left under the tree, looking bewildered.
Suspended Mountain, Lotus Pond.
Yin Rurong knelt on one knee before the Destiny Empress, hands on the ground, pleading through gritted teeth:
“Empress, Ye Feng will not let me live, so I’ve decided to defect from Shenzhou and pledge allegiance to you…”
Yin Rurong laid out all her grievances, striving to gain the Destiny Empress’s sympathy.
“So that’s what this is all about.”
The Destiny Empress was pleased.
She had already heard about the conflict between Yin Rurong and Ye Feng. On the occasion of the star-rising celebration in the Misty Sect, the City Lord of Tianmiao Holy City had deliberately sent someone to challenge the disciples of the Misty Sect on Yin Rurong’s suggestion.
All things considered, Yin Rurong and Ye Feng were enemies, making her a suitable figure to subdue and use, fostering her into an important pawn placed in Shenzhou.
In turn, this would benefit the development of the second-generation reincarnators.
“Empress, please take me in! Just help me erase my Dao injury and let me ascend to sainthood; thereafter, I will do whatever you ask.”
Yin Rurong pleaded sincerely from the ground.
The Destiny Empress walked slowly towards Yin Rurong, squatting down, she hooked Yin Rurong’s chin with her hand.
The next moment, their eyes met.
“You are really quite remarkable!”
The Destiny Empress chuckled and kissed Yin Rurong, causing her to widen her eyes in shock.
After a long time.
On a jade platform.
Yin Rurong sat beside the Empress, dressed in new clothes, and discovered that the Dao injury in her palm had completely vanished.
“Apparently, that act was incredibly effective!”
Yin Rurong was extremely surprised.
The Destiny Empress lay sideways on the jade platform — supporting her head with her hand — a satisfied smile on her face.
“I am the Daughter of Destiny from the great world of the Celestial Clan; I can naturally ignore any Dao injury curse. That double cultivation-like method was to transfer the Dao injury from you to myself, and then erase it.”
Having said this, the Destiny Empress sat upright.
She stretched out a hand, once again hooking Yin Rurong’s delicate chin.
“Moreover, during that process, I have infused you with a millennium worth of cultivation, greatly enhancing your strength and even granted you the mark of our Celestial Clan.”
“From today onwards, you will be our Celestial Clan’s greatest undercover agent placed in Shenzhou.”
“Next, I will take you to the Thunder Pool Grand Hall.”
“Saintly Venerable has placed a seal there; you can undergo your tribulation directly inside the Thunder Pool Grand Hall without being detected by the people of Shenzhou.”
“Once you become a saint, you can then return to Shenzhou.”
The Destiny Empress said, her face suggestive.
Yin Rurong looked at the other’s face that was even more delicate and perfect than her own, and nodded.
“Yes, Empress.”
…
Shenzhou Mainland.
Ye Feng was unaware of what was happening on Suspended Mountain.
He was even more clueless that Yin Rurong had healed her Dao injury and arrived at the Thunder Pool Grand Hall to face the Saint Ascension Tribulation imminently.
At this very moment.
Ye Feng had just finished his deducing.
“Phew!”
He exhaled a breath of turbid air, piercing through the void and revealing a crack leading into the depths of the starry sky.
“Finally sorted it out.”
Ye Feng slowly stood up.
It had taken several days, but he had finally deduced the “Heavenly Tribulation Descent”, a peerless Divine Skill, to a flawless state.
“This Divine Skill is quite remarkable.”
“Once executed, it forces the target to face the Saint Ascension Tribulation with a power ten times the normal strength.”
“In this scenario, the target is undoubtedly doomed.”
“Even if they miraculously survive, I can take the opportunity to strike.”
Ye Feng muttered quietly.
“Sect Leader, I’m so bored!”
Seeing Ye Feng emerge from seclusion, Hu Feifei immediately ran over, throwing her arms around his arm, but he swiftly pulled away.
“What kind of behavior is this?”
Ye Feng scolded with a serious expression.
“It’s been several days; I wonder how the construction of Whitefloat City is going, and also, within the Nine Cities Star Cloud, a portion of people should be ready, right?”
Having said this, Ye Feng soared into the sky.
He looked down at Whitefloat City, discovering that after Shi Lei obtained Ma Liang’s Brush, which surpassed the Spiritual Treasure level, the construction speed skyrocketed.
In just a few days, he actually constructed dozens of new districts, surrounding the old city of Whitefloat City numerous times.
Currently, the architectural area of Whitefloat City spanned an area of five hundred square miles, incorporating Thirty-three Layers, three thousand Floating Gardens, and dozens of small Stone Peak Mount Sumeru Worlds, sufficient to accommodate two to three hundred million people.
“We can start expanding the population.”
Ye Feng was overjoyed.
He tore through the void and descended upon the Nine Cities Star Cloud.
“Sect Master Ye, you’ve arrived.”
Star River Quasi-Saint saw Ye Feng and immediately led him to the True Dragon Realm, where on a vast grassland, he saw over a hundred million people gathered.
Among them, ten percent were cultivators.
The remaining ninety percent were their families.
“Sect Master Ye, we have identified over one hundred ten million people who meet the criteria and are ready to move to Whitefloat City at any time.”
Star River Quasi-Saint reported.
“Let’s start the relocation then!”
Ye Feng formed seals with his hands and pointed to the sky.
In an instant.
Dozens of vortexes appeared in the sky, and ladders made of clouds descended, spiraling up this vast crowd of people and vanishing from sight.
Whitefloat City.
Rip!
The void was suddenly torn apart, drawing the attention of countless people.
They turned towards the sound.
They saw dozens of cloud pathways descending from the sky, and countless strangers stepped out, standing bewildered on the streets of Whitefloat City, clearly unsure of their current whereabouts.
“The Sect Leader has actually brought over a hundred million people!”
City Lord’s Mansion, Gong Qingqiu heard the news and her face changed drastically as she soared into the sky.
