Chapter 1339

What you gave me, I don't want! I want the throne I strive for myself!

Chi Yao Xianzi spoke these words, her body trembling from excitement.

In the dark, Chen Zhangsheng frowned slightly, 'I didn't expect the two sisters to be at odds? And this Chi Yao Xianzi is actually walking the path of the Longevity Sect's cultivation.'

Cultivating with gu creatures, few can resist the temptation of merging gu into the body.

Chen Zhangsheng did not continue to spy on Chi Yao Xianzi's jade body.

But he knew that Chi Yao Xianzi had already set foot on this path; sooner or later she would merge gu into her body just like the Azure Abyss Emperor.

Once gu is merged into the body, one becomes half a member of the Gu Clan.

In fact, Chi Yao Xianzi has now stepped onto the opposing side of humanity.

It seems Yang Tianming's dislike for Chi Yao Xianzi may be because he already knows this secret of hers.

How could one be together with a future enemy?

Chi Yao Xianzi's path has already gone astray!

Chen Zhangsheng thought to himself, this is actually a good thing for Yang Tianming.

He continued to turn his gaze toward the two women.

The Jade Pool Empress's gaze had softened, emitting another kind of light; her jade finger lightly pointed into the distance as she spoke earnestly.

"Now the Butterfly Moon Ancestor and the Longevity Ancestor are locked in battle; the war flames have already spread to my Jade Pool Star Domain. My Jade Pool Star Domain cannot afford a mistake—look at that Jade Pool, seemingly eternal, yet before the great trend it is fragile."

"Likewise my Jade Pool Dynasty is the same! Though it appears as the hegemon of the Jade Pool Star Domain, other hegemons eye it covetously—the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect, the Ten Thousand Longevity Pavilion of the Longevity Clan, and the Longevity Sect's lackeys all wish to see my Jade Pool Dynasty crumble and be destroyed at once."

"When the great trend descends, even the father emperor trembles with reverence. My Jade Pool Dynasty seems unrivaled, yet countless eyes watch it. Chi Yao, you must absolutely not make a mistake."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yao Xianzi turned her beautiful eyes toward the distant Jade Pool.

The Jade Pool stretches boundlessly, like a limitless azure sea fallen into the starry sky; above it emanates azure Divine Light, a vast expanse of jade-green, the profound Dao Resonance and stellar power flow from its waters, transforming into fragrant mists that drift and swirl, clouds rising and rosy hues glowing.

Gazed from afar, it is magnificently splendid and brilliantly radiant, like a bright mirror, like a painted scroll.

"Hiss—hiss—hiss—hiss!"

Above the Jade Pool, myriad heavenly and earthly phenomena arose invisibly, containing fearsome Dao patterns; faintly, the silhouettes of powerful beings appeared and then vanished around it.

The Dao Resonance there was so intense that even Chen Zhangsheng felt a secret shudder of alarm.

If one could obtain even a thousandth of the Jade Pool's water, it would be enough to revive the World Tree, eradicate all its flaws, restore its vitality, and even aid its transformation, breaking the shackle of the Dao Sovereign Realm.

This Jade Pool is truly terrifying!

This is exactly the foundation of the Jade Pool Dynasty's standing!

But Chen Zhangsheng would naturally not steal the Jade Pool's water—such karmic consequences are too great.

Moreover, he is merely a passerby, observing past echoes of time; should he interfere, he would alter the flow of the river of years, producing an irreversible effect on the Butterfly World.

He still does not know his master's attitude.

He dare not do such things.

Just as Chen Zhangsheng was pondering, a tall man in yellow robes slowly emerged from the void; his aura was restrained, yet the lingering menace he leaked remained terrifying, his cultivation surpassing that of Yao Xi.

This man's visage was stern, a 'guó'-shaped face, with a hint of righteousness between his brows; his every gesture bore the lofty air of a superior.

"Father Emperor!"

"Father Emperor."

The Jade Pool Empress and Chi Yao Xianzi both bowed to the tall man.

"Good." The tall man nodded.

It turned out he was the old emperor of the Jade Pool Dynasty, nicknamed the Old Madman; in battle he is extraordinarily valiant, overbearing and tyrannical, ferocious and dreadful.

But at this moment, before his two most beloved daughters, he restrained that sharpness, appearing like a kind old father; he narrowed his eyes, turned his gaze to Chi Yao Xianzi, and spoke.

"Chi Yao, in a few days go to Observing Profound Star to see Yang Tianming. Now the Jade Pool Star Domain is engulfed in war flames; the Azure Cloud Star Sea is no exception."

"Yang Tianming's sharpness has just emerged; he also bears an ancient legacy, likely to draw many eyes. The Longevity Sect has many branches; their underlings' hounds are countless, and they will surely act against Yang Tianming."

"Yang Tianming is a student of the Cloud Cliff Academy, and the Cloud Cliff Academy is also our ally; you only need to appear before the Observing Profound Star for a moment, and you can intimidate those petty villains!"

Hearing these words, Chi Yao Xianzi's fury made her peaks undulate, her jade foot incessantly father emperor, "I refuse to go see Yang Tianming that country bumpkin! Yang Tianming is merely an ant who got dog shit luck! The Yang family is even a tiny clan that has fallen to utter ruin; I could blow a breath and annihilate them as a minor force. I will not go!"

The old madman continued, "Chi Yao, I am doing this for your own good. If you think Yang Tianming merely got dog shit luck, you are wrong. The fortune on Yang Tianming's person is great enough to uphold the two words 'Heaven's Mandate'."

The Queen Mother of the Jade Pool also said, "Father Emperor surely did this for your own good. From childhood to now, when has Father Emperor ever restrained you?"

Chi Yao Xianzi grew even angrier, "For my own good! You all keep saying it's for my own good, elder sister, you go and marry that Yang Tianming! I'll yield him to you!"

A hint of resentment appeared on the Queen Mother of the Jade Pool's face, "You..."

Chi Yao Xianzi then turned her gaze to the old madman, "Father Emperor, you admire Yang Tianming so much; why not just adopt him as your foster son? Why bother letting him have an engagement with me?"

"My beloved must be a peerless hero; one day he will step on seven-colored rosy clouds to marry me, not Yang Tianming this country bumpkin!"

In the dark, Chen Zhangsheng actually had no words to respond.

The old madman said, "Chi Yao ah, this is the opportunity I have found for you. Your elder sister and Yang Tianming have no affinity; I have not yet found her opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yao Xianzi again stomped her foot in anger, "Father Emperor, you are meddling in the mandarin duck's register!"

The old madman said, "You and Yang Tianming have a connection in that ancient legacy; that is why I forcibly betrothed you two. You should seize this opportunity."

Chi Yao Xianzi snapped viciously, "Yang Tianming looks like a short-lived person at first glance; such talent in my Jade Pool Star Domain is as numerous as the sands of the Ganges—only those who grow up count as geniuses! Moreover, even if Yang Tianming grows up, I still look down on him; he's just a country bumpkin."

"If you let me marry Yang Tianming, I would rather die!"

The Queen Mother of the Jade Pool glared at Chi Yao Xianzi, then asked the old madman, "Father Emperor, you are versed in the Great Dao of Time; could it not be that you have glimpsed a corner of the future, which is why you betrothed Chi Yao and Yang Tianming?"
