Chapter 1588

Two and a half days later, they used the Eternal Life Sect's spatial grand formation to cross the boundless, distant starry sky, arriving near the Jade Pool Imperial City.

This time, the matter was given importance by other branch sects of the Eternal Life Sect.

It was naturally not because of the woman in plain clothes, nor because of the man in white robes.

No one thought the tiny Azure Cloud Star Sea could stir up much trouble; the Eternal Life Sect's powerhouses cared about Chi Yao Xianzi.

Know that Chi Yao Xianzi has been secretly in contact with the Eternal Life Sect, studying Gu creatures.

The Eternal Life Sect's powerhouses had long discovered that Chi Yao Xianzi harbored hatred toward Empress Yao Xi and the Old Madman in her heart.

This time, dealing with Chi Yao Xianzi naturally would enhance relations with the Gu Clan.

Within the Eternal Life Sect, they had always wanted to win over Chi Yao Xianzi!

Therefore, the matter concerning Yang Tianming was merely a connecting rope; by doing so they could give Chi Yao Xianzi more Gu creatures.

"No one can resist the allure of Gu creatures!"

The Eternal Life Sect's powerhouses were very confident.

However, those Dao Transformation Realm powerhouses did not act, which made things seem somewhat deliberate.

At this moment.

Several elders of the Azure Cloud Star Sea stood firm in the depths of the void, looking down upon the imperial city's center.

A huge imperial city lay between heaven and earth, possessing the might of heaven and earth, eternal and unchanging; its ancient azure walls towered high, emanating a mighty divine aura.

The imperial city stretched a hundred million li across the void; though it appeared to be a city, it had long since become a world of its own.

Gazing outward, one could also see the Jade Pool like a crystal-clear lake fallen amidst heaven and earth.

The Jade Pool Star Region naturally earned its name from the Jade Pool.

The Jade Pool seized the world's creation; it is the essence that bears the star region, its Dao Resonance abundant, like a pearl, like a giant's tear, entirely a precious gem.

Possessing such an innate Dao site as the Jade Pool is why the Jade Pool Dynasty has been able to stand firm forever.

Several elders stared fixedly at the Jade Pool Imperial City and the Jade Pool, their hearts filled with fervor.

If the Jade Pool Dynasty were to defect, the pattern of the Jade Pool Star Region would completely reverse.

A black-robed elder said, "That old madman and Empress Yao Xi are loyal to the Butterfly Moon Ancestor; only Chi Yao Xianzi has a weakness."

Another elder said, "Naturally, if the Jade Pool Dynasty defects to our side, capturing the Jade Pool Star Region is just a matter of time."

They had already secretly contacted Chi Yao Xianzi via covert correspondence.

Soon.

A woman wearing a black cloak appeared in the depths of the void.

The one who came was none other than Chi Yao Xianzi!

Although wrapped tightly in the black cloak, her curvaceous figure could not be concealed, forming a perfect line, her breasts and buttocks prominently displayed, her hips high and lifted.

Moreover, a faint fragrance emanated, like a blooming, tempting flower.

Even several Gu Clan elders, who abstain from worldly affairs, felt a surge of inner heat.

That seductive aura, even through the black cloak, could be fully exuded.

"As expected of Chi Yao Xianzi, truly a worldly beauty!"

The black-robed elder examined Chi Yao Xianzi up and down, speaking without restraint.

Chi Yao Xianzi was indeed somewhat angry; her breasts rose and fell more intensely, waves rippling across her body beneath the black cloak as she bit her jade tooth and let out a cold snort: "If it weren't for you elders telling me there was a secret letter, you ants of the Dao Substantial Realm would not even be qualified to see my true self."

She is, after all, a lofty princess, and her cultivation has even stepped into the Dao Transformation Realm.

Sure, she has business with the Gu Clan, but it's not that a few petty Dao Substantial Realm cultivators can see her.

She has her own pride and dignity.

The black-robed elder hurriedly apologized, slapping himself hard across the face: "Sorry, Chi Yao Xianzi, my words offended the fairy; I am punishing myself! Though Chi Yao Xianzi's grace is unmatched, I am merely a Dao Lord Realm cultivator, and seeing her for the first time, I simply couldn't help myself."

Smack!

That slap, he really put his all into it, splitting his own lip.

This move was certainly not him being frivolous toward Chi Yao Xianzi; it had been planned all along.

Everyone knows Chi Yao Xianzi treasures her beauty above all, once proclaiming herself the number one beauty of the Jade Pool Star Region.

Whenever a peerless beauty appears anywhere, Chi Yao Xianzi must go and compete with her.

Thus, although this act seems to offend Chi Yao Xianzi, it actually lets her let down her guard.

"All right, all right." Chi Yao Xianzi waved her jade hand, "Speak, what happened in the Azure Cloud Star Sea?"

The black-robed elder produced an ancient azure jade slip, feigning hesitation as he said, "Chi Yao Xianzi, your fiancé Yang Tianming..."

Chi Yao Xianzi immediately rebuked, "Yang Tianming is not my fiancé; I have no relation with him whatsoever!"

But she still snatched that ancient azure jade slip, unleashed her divine sense, and probed inside it.

In the next instant, she saw Qing Qiu's figure—Qing Qiu in a plain white dress, standing tall upon the Chen River; the stars overhead seemed to dim beneath her peerless bearing, her form absolutely stunning, her visage like that of a heavenly immortal, pure and icy, utterly beautiful, she does not eat mortal food, utterly beyond words.

Even Chi Yao Xianzi, upon seeing her, had her pupils constrict.

"Who... is this woman?"

She never imagined that there could still be such peerless beauty in this world!

The black-robed elder said, "This woman is the one Yang Tianming is having an affair with..."

Then the black-robed elder embellished the tale of what had happened in the Chen River and told it to Chi Yao Xianzi.

Upon seeing Qing Qiu, Chi Yao Xianzi already felt a nameless anger rise in her heart.

There is someone in this world even more peerlessly beautiful than she, and she cannot tolerate it!

The world is vast, gorgeous flowers countless, but she can only tolerate the existence of one celestial blossom like herself!

Even if Qing Qiu has nothing to do with Yang Tianming, she will still find a chance to destroy her.

Chi Yao Xianzi's heart burned with jealousy; she even took off the black gauze on her head, revealing a face full of jealousy, gnashing her jade teeth as she spoke.

Although that Yang Tianming is merely a good-for-nothing, unworthy to be my fiancé, my father the emperor has issued an edict, which does give us some nominal status; I will absolutely not allow a mere person from the ancient Dao lineage to come and sully my reputation.

Killing intent appeared on her face: "This plain-clothed woman must die!"

The black-robed elder hurriedly said, "In that case, we'll take our leave."

They merely made contact and then did not linger.

But Chi Yao Xianzi blocked them and said, "This time, did you not inform the other branch sect elders? Where is the youth-preserving Gu I asked for?"

Youth-preserving Gu, as its name suggests, preserves youth.

However, the Gu Clan does not pursue any extraordinary beauty, so they have no need for it; on the contrary, Chi Yao Xianzi was the first to raise this request, and she also expressed her wish to cooperate, saying that this Gu must be developed.

Furthermore, her demands are higher: she wants Dao Resonance to suffuse her face, so that her beauty truly reaches the highest in the world, capable of overturning all beings and bewildering the masses.

The black-robed elder hurriedly said, "We have heard of the youth-preserving Gu; this Gu fairy's demands are too high, and we are also researching it."
