Chapter 703: The Last Xia Immortal of Eastern Wanggu

Grandmother Sun's words made everyone at the banquet lower their heads, covering their expressions.

Because some people were taboos and could not be mentioned.

Princess Princess Anhai also had a strange light in her eyes. She understood her wet nurse, knowing that when she was young, she not only had wide connections but also possessed extraordinary means.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to be her wet nurse and also the wet nurse of the Fifth Imperial Prince.

It would be even more impossible to live in the palace until now and be rewarded by the Human Emperor to retire to her hometown.

This shows that the wet nurse possessed wisdom and was loyal to the Human Emperor.

Therefore, being able to say that sentence here, the meaning is naturally profound.

Princess Princess Anhai was lost in thought, couldn't help but look at the kind wet nurse beside her. The background of the other party before entering the palace couldn't be found in any traces, and she couldn't find it even if she checked.

She only knew that she once had a daughter, but she died young, and then was requested by her mother to be arranged into the palace to become her wet nurse.

And the royal wet nurse is not just about breastfeeding. There is also a special status.

To prevent the harem from interfering in politics and affecting the royal family's face, the royal family uses some methods to weaken the relationship between the prince and his birth mother, and the wet nurse is a part of this link.

They are responsible for the daily life, companionship, early education, and guidance of the prince and princess until they grow up.

They replace the mother's role, accompany them day and night, so the formation of the prince's outlook on life and values will be influenced by the wet nurse, and the wet nurse will directly affect the prince's future attitude toward doing things and the means of handling some things.

Therefore, in the royal family, the wet nurse is both a teacher and a mother.

Princess Princess Anhai was lost in thought when Grandmother Sun patted her arm gently. Princess Princess Anhai hurriedly looked up, a smile appeared on her face instinctively, looking at Xiang Ningyan.

Xiang Ningyan's expression was complicated.

Grandmother Sun's words made him think of his mother, followed by the melancholy in his heart and the memories buried deep in his heart.

Regarding his mother's appearance, he had already forgotten it.

And his mother's name had become a taboo in the Imperial Capital. No one dared to mention it. In his memory, this was the first time he heard someone mention it after his mother passed away.

Thus, Xiang Ningyan took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the front of Grandmother Sun, and bowed.

Grandmother Sun looked at Xiang Ningyan, her smile remained kind, and she summoned Xiang Ningyan to the other side of her.

She even put Xiang Ningyan's palm into her own hand.

But her heart was sighing. She naturally knew the purpose of Princess Anhai bringing Xiang Ningyan, but after she left the Imperial Capital, she didn't want to get involved.

After all, the death of King Tian-Lan, the Human Emperor's decree, the meaning contained within, didn't it imply that a storm of struggle for the throne was about to sweep through the Imperial Capital?

Another point was Xiang Ningyan...

The history that was suppressed in the past, the younger generation didn't know, but she had seen the rise of Xiang Ningyan's mother with her own eyes, and also seen her stunning talent, and even more seen the bloody tragedy overnight and the death of another prince.

That was Xiang Ningyan's twin brother.

Xiang Ningyan, from that day on, was deliberately alienated.

So she was cold to Xiang Ningyan and Xu Qing before, but didn't have malice, and they didn't interfere with each other.

But the arrival of the Spirit Mist Emperor made everything different.

Although she wouldn't bet everything, appropriate care was still necessary. Thus, there was the previous sentence and the current action.

Everyone in the banquet had intricate connections with the Imperial Capital behind them.

Her words and actions would likely be known by some interested people very soon.

This was enough.

Just like that, when the banquet reached the bright moon in the sky, the Spirit Mist Emperor stretched, stood up, and left. Xu Qing also stood up to say goodbye to Grandmother Sun.

Looking at Xu Qing, Grandmother Sun revealed a deep meaning in her eyes. After thinking for a while, she simply took out three jade slips and handed them to Xiang Ningyan on the side.

She asked Xiang Ningyan to send them to three old friends after arriving at the Imperial Capital.

Xiang Ningyan instinctively looked at Xu Qing. Xu Qing nodded slightly, so Xiang Ningyan took a deep breath and took them solemnly.

Afterward, they left.

On the way back to the teleportation array, under the moonlight, Xiang Ningyan was obviously stirred by the past, his emotions low, following silently beside Xu Qing.

Until they walked halfway, Xu Qing patted Xiang Ningyan on the shoulder.

"It's okay, no matter what, you are a Sword-Holder of Feng Hai County."

Xu Qing's words fell into Xiang Ningyan's ears. Xiang Ningyan felt warmth rise in his heart. After a long breath, he spoke softly.

"Thank you, Boss."

"Actually, it's nothing, just afraid of losing face for you. As a prince, I don't have any status in the Imperial Capital, I'm marginalized, and no one contacts me."

"I know the reason, because of my mother, she is a taboo in the Imperial Capital... In my memory, this is the first time I heard someone mention it."

"I originally had a brother. We were twins. His personality was more decisive than mine, his brain was smarter than mine, everything was better than mine. Although he was silent, it seemed like nothing could stump him."

"And he was very good to me. I was a bit cowardly when I was young, and he protected me, but he died too. The day after my mother died, he died. Dying with him were all the people in the mansion, except for the most useless me."

"And then I was in the Imperial Capital, lost and helpless, only able to be careful, alone."

"The vast Imperial City..."

Xiang Ningyan was bitter and shook his head.

"Until a few years later, I received an imperial decree from my father. He asked me to go to Feng Hai County, to hide my name there, and then silently record everything."

"Then, I met you, Boss."

Xiang Ningyan looked at Xu Qing. In the moonlight, in the wilderness, he revealed words he had never said to outsiders, because along this journey, unconsciously, Xu Qing felt more and more like his brother.

Xu Qing looked up at the firmament. No one knew who he was thinking of... After a long time, he raised his hand and rubbed Xiang Ningyan's hair.

"After going to the Imperial Capital, if you are unhappy, let's go back to Feng Hai County together."

"Hmm!" Xiang Ningyan nodded hard.

Xu Qing smiled and continued to walk forward.

In the moonlight, they walked further and further, until they disappeared at the edge of the sky.

A few days later, the ancient teleportation array of Tai'an County opened, Xu Qing and his group left in the teleportation array, and there were others with them.

That was Princess Princess Anhai.

She arrived before the array opened and went to the Imperial Capital Domain with Xu Qing and the others.

With the disappearance of the array light, three domains away from the Gray Sea Domain, on a vast land, in a huge array, light shone within.

The size of this array far exceeded all the ancient teleportation arrays Xu Qing had seen along the way, three times larger, and the materials were even more astonishing, all built with top-grade spirit stones, and there were countless giant stones around this teleportation array.

On each of them, runes were carved, emitting terrifying fluctuations.

Further away, there was a military camp.

Their duty was to guard the teleportation array, and there were human soldiers patrolling in all directions at all times.

And such an array was not just one on this land, each with different destinations, and there were many military camps here.

As for this land, it was ring-shaped!

It was like a ring, and its scope was similar to many smaller domains.

But here, it was only a part of the human Imperial Capital Domain.

Within this ring-shaped land, separated by a void sea, there was another ring-shaped land, and even deeper, such ring-shaped lands, one set inside another, totaled over a hundred.

And in the center surrounded by these hundred ring lands, there was a giant star, majestic and astonishing. Even from a distance, one could vaguely see its shadow.

It was not formed by soil, but gas!

Clouds and mist swirled on it, and occasionally a vortex would appear like a storm, accompanied by lightning, and the rumbling sound echoed in all directions.

This was a huge and soul-shaking gaseous star.

The star rings around the star were one ring-shaped continent after another.

And below this giant star was a pitch-black abyss.

"Here, is the Imperial Capital Domain!"

"The entire Imperial Capital Domain can actually be seen as suspended. Below the domain is an abyss, bottomless. Few people know what truly exists inside, but there is a legend that it leads to a place called Huangtian."

"And the appearance of the Imperial Capital Domain itself is a shocking gaseous star. It was refined by the Sister Emperor Xuanyou Ancient Emperor from outside the sky years ago, as his Ancient Emperor Palace, and is now the ancestral land of our human race."

"Even the royal descendants do not have the qualifications to step into the interior of this gaseous star. Only the Human Emperor and the future Crown Prince have the qualifications to enter the interior of the star to worship the ancestors."

"And the hundred star rings around this gaseous star are where the people of our race live. The one under our feet is the outermost layer. It looks like land, but it is actually formed after light is solidified by divine power."

"These star rings are from outside to inside. The closer to the gaseous star, the higher the requirements and level of living. As for the innermost layer... that is the Imperial Capital of our human race."

On the outermost ring of the gaseous star, with the shining of that teleportation array, the figures of Xu Qing and his group and Princess Princess Anhai appeared together.

The moment they appeared, Princess Princess Anhai's voice came out.

The group from Feng Hai County was also shocked by this vast scene. Even limited by their cultivation, they couldn't see too much, but Princess Princess Anhai's words spread a picture in the heart of every Feng Hai County cultivator.

However, the Captain curled his lips and didn't care. Purple Sister Xuan gazed at the shadow of the star, revealing confusion in her eyes.

Others, although shocked, quickly suppressed the turbulence in their hearts and recovered. Each was silent. Xu Qing also withdrew his gaze, glanced at Princess Princess Anhai on the side, and nodded slightly.

Princess Princess Anhai's expression remained as usual, but she was very surprised in her heart. She knew that the human Imperial Capital Domain was the first domain of Eastern Wanggu created by the Ancient Emperor, so it was different from ordinary domains. It was very difficult to be calm at the first perception. The Feng Hai County cultivators were also like this before, but they recovered too quickly.

But she quickly suppressed her surprise and continued to travel with them. Just like that, a few days passed. Under Princess Princess Anhai's arrangement, they traveled all the way and teleported toward the Imperial Capital in the innermost ring.

As they got closer and closer, that giant gaseous star became clearer and clearer in everyone's eyes.

I saw that on the star shrouded in clouds and mist, with the flow of clouds and mist, occasionally it would be like lifting a veil, revealing a majestic and astonishing statue of the Sister Emperor Xuanyou Ancient Emperor.

That statue sat cross-legged on this star. Although it was a dead object, its expression was realistic, and its momentum was heaven-shaking. ===== CHAPTER 704 =====

That statue sat cross-legged on this star. Although it was an inanimate object, its expression was lifelike and its momentum was heaven-shaking.
