The news that Jiang Yi was going to ascend in a month spread throughout the entire Stellarsky Domain in three days. All the great family clan heads and elders that received the news swiftly teleported to Jiang Thearch City. Although many ordinary martial artists near the Jiang Clan four regions did not have celestial stones to teleport, they all boarded Heaven Fate Ships or flew towards the Jiang Thearch City in a rush. Within ten days, all the inns in the city were full; the city plaza was filled with people.
After Jiang Yi had returned, he did not come out of the Jiang Castle anymore. Besides meeting the Buddha Thearch, the Xuan Thearch, and others once; he did not see anyone else.
He intended to use that month to accompany Yi Chan, Su Ruoxue, Yin Ruobing, Mo Yao’er, and the rest—or spend time talking with Jiang Yunhai and drinking with Qian Wanguan, Zhan Wushuang, Huangfu Taotian, and Situ Yixiao. He treasured his remaining month very much. Everyone also knew that this time there was a possibility that Jiang Yi might not return.
The Black Deity had arrived long ago. Using the demon race’s mystic arts, he and Jiang Yi made a soul spirit contract; and the Black Deity became Jiang Yi’s spirit beast. This mystic art was very special. The Black Deity’s soul spirit fused with Jiang Yi; Jiang Yi could easily kill him if he wished. His control over the Black Deity was even tighter than that of over soul slaves.
All of Jiang Yi’s women did not reveal too much unease or reluctance. They spent their days smiling and accompanying Jiang Yi while they took turns at night with him. Although Su Ruoxue could not completely remember the past, she had already accepted Jiang Yi deep in her heart, for Jiang Yi to be her husband.
Her special Astral Body also made Jiang Yi very content. Additionally, Tang Xue and Tang Yan—the two ladies from the Fairy Lady Race—possessed famed artifacts; they were also twins. The duo was clear about their status and pleased Jiang Yi very much.
The only regret that Jiang Yi had was… Jiang Xiaonu was still in seclusion. Jiang Yi had stayed in the Jiang Thearch City for almost a month; he was going to ascend tomorrow, but Jiang Xiaonu had not woken up.
“Big Brother, can I follow you to the Higher Domain?”
Xiao Fei kept on pestering Jiang Yi these few days. Qian Wanguan had long sent men to bring the Demon Empress to Jiang Thearch City; Xiao Fei would not be alone or bored. At this moment, she kept on pawing at Jiang Yi, her face full of reluctance as she spoke.
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi patted Xiao Fei’s head and said, “Xiao Fei is still young. The Higher Domain is very dangerous. You should stay in Jiang Thearch City and cultivate. I will be back in a few years. Once I have completed my mission, I will stay in the Stellarsky Domain forever to accompany you guys.”
“Really?”
Xiao Fei’s eyes glistened as she stretched out a tiny hand and said, “Then let’s pinky-swear. You cannot lie to me; if not, Xiao Fei will be very sad.”
“No way!”
Jiang Yi looked at all the women sitting in the central hall, nodded heavily, and said, “As long as I am done, I will return immediately. We will never be separated again.”
“Understood…”
Yin Ruobing, Mo Yao’er, and the others started to tear as they turned away from Jiang Yi; they did not want him to see their tears. Yi Chan was stronger. She looked at Jiang Yi and said, “Jiang Yi, rest assured. I will take care of things here at home. Don’t push yourself too much in the Higher Domain. Remember that in the Jiang Thearch City, a group of people is waiting for you to come home. As long as you are alive… nothing else matters. Also… you are not allowed to fool around. If not, you will never bed us again.”
“I know.”
Jiang Yi nodded as he smiled bitterly. He then took out the Mystic Divine Palace and a black-colored jade talisman. He channeled his heavenly powers around the Mystic Divine Palace as he injected half of the heavenly powers he had left into the Mystic Divine Palace. Only after that did he disconnect the mental connection between him and the Mystic Divine Palace.
He gave it to Yi Chan and said, “I do not have much use for this palace there. Furthermore, for someone at my level, the Mystic Divine Palace’s defenses are no longer effective. I will give this to you guys. I have injected some heavenly powers inside; even a nine-star formidable martial artist will have a very hard time breaking through. If anything was to happen, all of you are to protect yourselves using this!”
Yi Chan did not reject it. This was Jiang Yi’s desire. She quietly took over the palace and started to refine it. However, her refining took a while. Although Jiang Yi had already severed his connection with the Mystic Divine Palace, it was still a divine artifact after all.
Swish!
Jiang Yi walked over and injected a few wisps of heavenly powers into Yi Chan’s body. Her refinement speed accelerated, and within one hour, the Mystic Divine Palace had become Yi Chan’s.
“Little Sister Xiaonu is still in seclusion…”
Yi Chan opened her eyes as she sighed slightly. Jiang Yi would have to ascend tomorrow. If not, the passageway above the void was going to disappear. If Jiang Xiaonu still did not come out by then, she would probably not be able to see Jiang Yi for the last time.
“Forget about it; let’s not disturb her!”
Jiang Yi’s divine senses swept the Mystic Divine Palace and looked at Jiang Xiaonu for a while as he helplessly shook his head. None of the women present slept this night. They all accompanied Jiang Yi until daybreak, treasuring every last minute and second.
At daybreak!
The entire Jiang Thearch City was filled with excitement. When the sun rose from the east, the Jiang Thearch City was teeming with people. At least ten million people were present; almost all the formidable martial artists of the Stellarsky Domain had gathered.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Buddha Thearch, Xuan Thearch, Night Empress, Yin Thearch, Battle Thearch, Tang Shenji, and others all soared into the skies. The Buddha Emperor and others were closely following behind them. More than a hundred Demigods were standing in the high skies; they waited quietly for Jiang Yi to appear.
Roar!
A terrifying dragon-like roar resounded as a huge black dragon soared from the Jiang Castle. It growled a few times in the air and stayed in mid-air; the Black Deity had appeared.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Jiang Yunhai, Zhan Wushuang, Qian Wanguan, Situ Yixiao, Huangfu Taotian, Qian Gui, Yun Tianqing, and others also flew into mid-air with Heaven Monarchs leading them. Jiang Yiliu was there as well. They all waited quietly.
Swish!
Yi Chan, Yin Ruobing, Mo Yao’er, Su Ruoxue, Feng Luan, Qing Yu, Nangong Qiling, Tang Xue, Tang Yan, and Hu Danni all flew into the sky while Xiao Fei was being carried there by the Demon Empress. All of their dresses fluttered; all of them were beauties. Many young men watched dazedly at them. However, not one dared to have any lustful thoughts; those were Jiang Yi’s women.
Swish!
Jiang Yi finally arrived. He flew by slowly. Although no aura emitted from his body, his body contained a dominant and powerful presence that made everyone feel like bowing down in worship. The moment Jiang Yi appeared, all ten million people in the city genuflected and shouted, “Greetings to the Jiang Thearch.”
Jiang Yi did not say anything. His gaze calmly scanned the ten million-odd people beneath him; on the Buddha Thearch and company’s faces; on Jiang Yunhai, Qian Wanguan, Qian Gui, and the others; and finally on Yi Chan and his other women. He softly asked, “Xiaonu is not out yet?”
Yi Chan shook her head. Jiang Yi did not hesitate any longer as he flew on top of the Black Deity and roared, “Black Deity, let’s go! Everyone… wait for me to return!”
Roar!
The Black Deity howled loudly as his huge body shot towards the high heavens. Jiang Yi was back-facing everyone and did not turn back once. Yi Chan, Yin Ruobing, and the other women also bit their lips and did not utter a single sound. They were very clear that Jiang Yi did not wish to turn back because he was afraid that if he did, he would not bear to leave anymore!
Buzz!
At this moment, the restrictions on the Mystic Divine Palace that was in Yi Chan’s hand flashed. Yi Chan scanned and was elated. The Mystic Divine Palace lit up, and Jiang Xiaonu appeared outside; she had emerged from her seclusion at the last minute.
“Uh—”
Jiang Xiaonu appeared and immediately transformed. The instance she transformed, an aura comparable to Jiang Yi’s emanated from her body; even the Buddha Thearch felt suffocated.
She swept a glance and looked at Jiang Yi up in the sky. Her glance fell on Jiang Yunhai, Yi Chan, and others. She bit her lip, smiled, and said, “Grandfather, ladies, I have broken through. I am going to pursue Young Master and head up into the Higher Domain with him. Take care…”
Swish!
Jiang Xiaonu’s wings extended as she became a green light and shot straight towards Jiang Yi. Soon, she and Jiang Yi had both disappeared above the void.
“Farewell to the Jiang Thearch!”
An earth-shattering roar resounded from Jiang Thearch City and reverberated throughout heaven and earth for a long time.
Jiang Yunhai’s eyes were filled with hot tears as he looked up at the void above and listlessly murmured, “Lady Piaopiao, Young Master has finally done it. He can finally go and look for you. Wait for him; he will definitely rescue you and bring you back.”
The Buddha Thearch, Xuan Thearch, and Saint Empress exchanged glances; the three of them laughed out. The Buddha Thearch scratched his bald head as he sighed and said, “A True Dragon will never be trapped forever; he is destined to soar above the Nine Heavens. Jiang Yi, your new journey has begun. How far can you go this time? We… will wait with bated breath!”
