Buzz!
In a big hall in the Earth Emanations Castle, a huge Teleportation Formation kept flashing nonstop. Jiang Yi and company slowly appeared inside the Teleportation Formation. Once the five guards in charge of the array caught a clear view of the people inside, they knelt down in a panic. “Greetings, Sovereign! Greetings, Lords!”
The Earth Emanations Sovereign waved his hand, gesturing for them to get back on their feet. He scanned Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu who were both still in a daze. Then, he said, “Jiang Yi, rest in Earth Emanations Castle for a couple of days. Huaisang, all of you should take good care of Jiang Yi and Young Mistress Mu!”
With that, the Earth Emanations Sovereign disappeared in a flash. Mo Lingqiu turned to glance at Jiang Xiaonu, his head hurting. Then, he turned to Jiang Yi. “Jiang Yi, why don’t you come and live with me for two days?”
“No, thanks!”
Jiang Yi thought for a moment and then shook his head. “I’ll go back to Divine Eagle City. It’s more comfortable for me there.”
“You decide then…”
Mo Lingqiu led the rest of the group out and then summoned Mo Shangxing, instructing him to escort Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu back to Divine Eagle City. Mo Huaisang and company wanted to go along with him, but Jiang Yi did not even spare them a glance. Since they were not thick-skinned enough, they decided not to insist. Di Ling’er, however, said, “Jiang Yi, can I go with you to play?”
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi agreed. He quite liked Di Ling’er. What’s more, he had destroyed Di Ling’er’s guqin; and he felt guilty about it. He was planning to buy a better one to make it up to her.
Mo Shangxing led the group to the Teleportation Formation and left Mo Huaisang, Xuanyuan Wudi, Jiutian Wen, and Qin Huan behind. The four of them exchanged stunned looks, at a loss for what to do. Then, Mo Huaisang sighed softly. She regretted looking down on Jiang Yi earlier and was slightly frustrated that the Earth Emanations Sovereign did not hint at her to treat him nicely. If she had, she would have forged good relations with Jiang Yi already.
The Earth Emanations Sovereign and Jiang Yi’s relationship aside, Jiang Yi’s divine song alone showed that he was a person with limitless potential. Mo Huaisang was indeed the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s granddaughter, but the problem was… the Earth Emanations Sovereign had a lot of other granddaughters. If she married Jiang Yi, her status in the Mo Clan would improve considerably.
Well, there was no turning around now!
Mo Huaisang could only feel the sorrow and regret in her heart. Suddenly, she wondered if the Earth Emanations Sovereign had not reminded her to get close to Jiang Yi because… he thought that she was not good enough.
Jiang Yi led the group back to Blue Eagle Prefecture, shocking Xiao Hong who immediately summoned men out to fetch them. When they saw Jiang Xiaonu and other formidable martial artists from the Ink Feather Race, he became more fearful. Were they here to cause trouble?
Jiang Yi decided to rest for one day in Blue Eagle City. He was feeling far too weak, and he needed to buy Di Ling’er a guqin. It would be difficult for him to find one in Divine Eagle City. Perhaps if he asked Jiutian Ze for help, it would be easier to find good guqins. What’s more, he needed one for himself. He had made progress on the Divine Sound Heaven Skill and merged it together with the Heavenly Springs Rhythm. Now, he had one more powerful mystical ability. At least among martial artists below Titled Battle Gods, he could remain undefeated.
The facts had proven it!
He could even fight Titled Battle Gods, but he needed some time to do that. Titled Battle God would not give him the chance. The moment he started playing his guqin, they would start attacking him for sure. He brought the group to see the yard that Xiao Hong provided for him. Then, he sent Di Ling’er to rest. Jiang Xiaonu waved her hand, letting the guards around her be dismissed. The two of them enjoyed quality time alone together.
“Xiaonu, are you living well in the Ink Feather Race? Are they good to you?”
Jiang Yi held Jiang Xiaonu’s hand. This was the first time he was speaking to Jiang Xiaonu since the seal on her memories was broken. Jiang Xiaonu shook her head slightly and said, “They are very good to me, but I’m not used to living without Young Master by my side. I’m not happy, hehe. He even dared to seal my memories; I’m not going back for the rest of my life.”
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi smiled bitterly, not saying anything in reply. The Green Eagle King and Eagle Empress were probably on their way over, weren’t they? He did not want to cause too big of a commotion this time, but if Jiang Xiaonu did not want to return, Jiang Yi was not going to force her to either.
He pondered for a moment and said, “Xiaonu, I will bring you to an auction later on to have some fun. I’ll buy you whatever you want! That’s right… let’s make a trip back one of these days. We’ll go and see Grandfather and the others.”
“We’re going back to Stellarsky Domain?”
Jiang Xiaonu’s eyes lit up. To her and Jiang Yi, Stellarsky Domain was their real home. If they could, Jiang Xiaonu would follow Jiang Yi and live in Stellarsky Domain for the rest of their lives. They would not come back to the Higher Domain at all.
“En!”
Jiang Yi nodded profusely. “I have divine roots now. I won the Wen Fight, and obtained fifty million divine roots! I can easily teleport back to Stellarsky Domain!”
“Alright!” Jiang Xiaonu smiled sweetly, her expression tender. While she was with Jiang Yi, even if they were not doing or saying anything—and even if she was just staring at him quietly, Jiang Xiaonu would always feel extremely blissful.
Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu chatted for a while and then retrieved a ring. It flashed, and black, beautiful battle armor appeared. There was even a pitch-black, six-legged tripod with it.
“A supreme-grade divine artifact battle armor! A Primitive Spiritual Treasure!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up. He scanned the battle armor, satisfaction evident on his face. With this battle armor, ordinary Demon-Killing Battle Gods would not be able to hurt him. Together with his Divine Sound Heaven Skill, he would probably be able to massacre groups and groups of Demon-Killing Battle Gods.
He kept the battle armor and then began studying the six-legged tripod. The tripod was dark, but there were mysterious patterns on it. Jiang Yi studied them and found that there were two Xiaozhuan characters at the base of the tripod: Shen Nong!
“What is this Shen Nong Tripod for?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes filled with confusion. He studied the tripod for a long time but could not find anything extraordinary about it. As he pondered, he began to activate his heavenly powers and refine the Shen Nong Tripod. There was no spiritual imprint inside the Primitive Spiritual Treasure. Jiang Yi only spent two hours to easily refine it. The six-legged tripod began to glow with a black light, as a mysterious aura emanated from within it. Many messages began to appear in Jiang Yi’s mind.
“Damn!”
Jiang Yi organized all of these messages and then cursed under his breath. “Yi Tu, that bastard. He gave me a piece of trash!”
“What’s the matter, Young Master?” Jiang Xiaonu glanced at the tripod and asked.
Jiang Yi heaved a long sigh and replied, “I thought this was a useful treasure, but this tripod is only used for refining pills.”
“…”
Jiang Xiaonu was speechless. Pills were worthless in the Higher Domain. Formidable martial artists did not need to rely on them either. After all, if one relied too heavily on medication, their bodies will begin to feel the side effects. Depending on one’s own battle skills was a true display of power. The real young masters and young mistresses of great family clans all had a chance to enter the Primitive Mystic Realm. They progressed very, very quickly by cultivating inside there. Was there really a need for pills to help them improve?
“Fraudulent!”
Jiang Yi rolled his eyes. He had thought that this treasure was going to be helpful for his attacks; he had not thought that it was merely a piece of trash. However, on second thought, if it was not trash; Yi Tu would not have given it to him so easily.
Once again, Jiang Yi studied the tripod. Finally, he tossed the Shen Nong tripod in his ring and did not bother about it any further. Instead, he decided to bring Jiang Xiaonu out to walk around. He was very apologetic towards this maidservant of his. After returning from Saint Spirit Domain, he was in a bad mood, too. He had to force himself to forget about Yi Piaopiao. Only then would he be able to quiet his heart down and realize quintessence.
He stood up and said, “Let’s go, Xiaonu. I’ll bring you to Crazed God Castle. I’m going to buy you a few beautiful robes!”
Jiang Xiaonu did not stand up but lowered her head instead. Jiang Yi caught sight of her flushed cheeks as she asked shyly, “Young Master, when I left back then, you said you would… give me the answer when we meet again!”
“Answer?”
Jiang Yi was astonished, but he quickly realized what Jiang Xiaonu was asking. When Jiang Xiaonu left the last time, she said that she did not want to just be his maidservant or little sister; she wanted him to marry her. However, at the time, he replied carelessly and said that he would give her an answer when they met again.
