Chapter 1623

Chi Yao Empress bit her jade teeth and sneered, "Lu Xuan doesn't dare to appear, yet he dares to call himself what Dao Lord, Sovereign?"

Everyone fell silent.

Indeed, over tens of thousands of years, there has been no trace of Lu Xuan; this is somewhat strange.

The Elder of Annihilation asked, "Empress Chi Yao, has the Imperial Heavenly Surveillance detected any abnormality in the Chaotic Star Sea?"

Empress Chi Yao said, "Senior Youyou mentioned that someone has sabotaged his arrangements in the Chaotic Star Sea."

Everyone was stunned.

You know, Senior Youyou's mastery of many Great Daos has reached the Dao Fruit stage, so the one who acted must be at the Dao Fruit realm?

Suddenly, Empress Chi Yao recalled, "Tens of thousands of years ago, a few monstrous talents appeared in the Chaotic Star Sea, but later they vanished."

She was referring to the plain-clothed woman, Yang Ling'er, and a few others.

Back then, she secretly contacted the assassins of the Hidden Fragrance Pavilion, ordering them to kill the plain-clothed woman and the white-robed men; although the assassin failed, it ultimately led to the Hidden Fragrance Pavilion being destroyed by her father emperor, yet that plain-clothed woman and her companions disappeared like a fleeting blossom.

You know, back then Elder Ye Shuang was watching the Chaotic Star Sea!

The Elder of Annihilation asked, "Which few monsters could actually draw the Empress's attention?"

Empress Chi Yao said, "A plain-clothed woman, a sword cultivator riding a white donkey, a Buddhist cultivator from a branch of the Hehuan Sect, and a woman said to be born from the 《Hehuan Sutra》……"

Upon hearing this, Sword Tianye's body suddenly trembled.

He too has been searching for that plain-clothed woman and the sword cultivator riding a white donkey!

However, he intends to nurture them and then devour them.

Sword Tianye remained expressionless and silent.

But Yang Xuan, the Xuanji Holy Lord, and Fang Yuan were slightly taken aback.

It is obvious that Empress Chi Yao was referring to Qingqiu, Xiao A Liang, Wu Wo, and Yang Ling'er!

They secretly transmitted their voices to Lu Xuan, "Master, why is this? What happened to Qingqiu and the others?"

Lu Xuan explained with a smile, "No problem. The left and right worlds are not merely as simple as the Great Dao of Time; there is also the Great Dao of Causality, and a kind of 'momentum'."

"I left the left world, and the Hehuan Sect ultimately still lost, so Qingqiu and the others likely fell into an unknown 'momentum'. Because with their strength, they still cannot leave a deeper mark in the River of Time."

Hearing this, the Xuanji Holy Lord's beautiful eyes slightly furrowed; she gained a deeper insight into the River of Time.

"Master, this means the River of Time sweeps away the sand; whether cultivator or great power, unless they leave a trace within this 'momentum', they cannot be recorded in history, otherwise they drift away with the wind and later generations will never know."

Lu Xuan nodded, "Exactly. This is also how the Hall of Longevity monitors the heavens: they lay patterns in the River of Time, monitor fluctuations, and once a rebellious surge appears, they directly suppress it."

"Actually, saying that Qingqiu and the others have disappeared is not correct. Because the River of Time in the left world continues to flow, they have already opened a new 'momentum', a fresh future possibility, while what the Hall of Longevity monitors is still the old River of Time."

Yang Xuan and the others fell into contemplation.

"Master, this is also why Yang Tianming did not come back to life?"

Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Correct."

Yang Tianming's defiance of heaven to change fate inevitably involves great causality with many people; only by killing all those who slew him back then can his life-and-death situation be reversed.

At this moment, Elder Luo Chong asked, "Empress Chi Yao, you know Yang Tianming well; do you have any guess as to where the source of destiny is hidden?"

Upon hearing the three words 'Yang Tianming', the already calmed Empress Chi Yao's face darkened again; she bit her jade teeth and said.

"I don't understand Yang Tianming; I don't understand this trash at all!"

Her voice carried endless hatred.

Even though Yang Tianming is dead, she already hates him to the bone.

"If that trash Yang Tianming had leaked even a hint before his death, the source of destiny wouldn't have been lost for so long!"

"She told my dog of a father emperor, she told my sister Yao Xi, but she never told me, his fiancée!"

Empress Chi Yao clenched her fists, and even her eyes turned crimson.

"I hate my sister Yao Xi; I hate that dog of a father emperor!"

"Ahhh……"

Seeing Empress Chi Yao losing control, Elder Luo Chong and the others exchanged glances and quickly urged, "Empress Chi Yao, this matter can only be considered in the long run. After all, tens of thousands of years have passed, yet there has been no gain."

"However, this time the Chaotic Star Sea has shown fluctuations; perhaps in the ruins of this Yun Cliff Academy, the source of destiny may exist."

Empress Chi Yao's chest rose and fell like surging waves; she covered her chest, and only after a long while did she calm down.

In the eyes of the Xuanji Holy Lord and Fang Yuan, a hint of coldness appeared.

This Chi Yao is simply unreasonable!

That old madman and Yao Xi have done so much for her, yet now she hates them to the bone.

Yang Xuan cursed in his heart, "This Empress Chi Yao is truly a despicable person!"

The Elder of Annihilation dared not mention 'Yang Tianming' anymore, and instead said, "You said the last Ruthless Woman Emperor, in the Eternal Ancient Star Domain, in the ownerless land, the City of Unjust Death, plundered so many supreme treasures and celestial oddities—what exactly was she doing?"

Empress Chi Yao frowned, "Naturally, to restore her cultivation."

The Elder of Annihilation said, "I feel it won't be that simple. This time the Ruthless Woman Emperor seems to be plotting something great."

Elder Luo Chong's face showed worry, "The Ruthless Woman Emperor's power of reincarnation is heaven-defying; if her cultivation recovers again, who in the Chaotic Star Sea could stop her?"

Empress Chi Yao pointed to her head, "There are still strong ones at the Threefold Heaven Gate. What is the Ruthless Woman Emperor?"

The Elder of Annihilation said, "Ancestor Yueying seized many ancient Dao lineages from the ruins of the Reverse Flow River; do you think this Reincarnation Ancient Court might be his arrangement?"

Empress Chi Yao disdainfully said, "No matter how strong Ancestor Yueying is, he still had his source of destiny cut off and was suppressed by the Ancestor of Longevity and a few others; his era has long passed."

After a moment, Lu Xuan lightly shook his head.

From Empress Chi Yao and the others, no more important information could be obtained.

He slowly rose, concealed his form, directly activated his spatial accomplishment, and took the lead stepping into the ruins of the Yun Cliff Academy.

"Hiss!"

This branch institute likewise turned into ruins; the originally magnificent college buildings were split into five parts, the tall trial towers of the colleges toppled onto the starry sky, breaking into several sections; the once vast training field's Dao Resonance was completely obliterated, fragmented, with many severed limbs drifting above; the dozens of stars where the branch institute lay were all shattered, leaving only fragments of great domains floating.

Nevertheless, this place still retained a great deal of righteous vital energy, as well as the unique fist imprint of Yang Tianming.

Lu Xuan's thought moved, he directly began to seize, 'These can be handed over to Yang Tianming and Mr. Qi when we go back.'
