Chapter 573: Jiang Shengyi

The end of the Emperor Road in the Huangtian Immortal Domain, the eighteenth pass, is called Hangu Pass.

After exiting Hangu Pass to the west, one steps onto the starting point of the Ultimate Ancient Road.

And in the void a million li outside Hangu Pass, there is a vast and endless ancient battlefield.

Rather than a battlefield, looking at it, it looks like a wild continent floating in the starry sky of the universe.

It is rumored that this Huangtian Battlefield is an extremely ancient ruin, so it has left behind many great opportunities.

For example, the Immortal Embryo—this kind of heaven and earth rare treasure, which is almost impossible to appear elsewhere, can be discovered in the Huangtian Battlefield.

And at this moment, it has been a long time since the opening of the Huangtian Battlefield.

Many prodigies are competing within it.

Of course, there are also some prodigies who are watching from the outside and haven't entered, because they have been exhausted all the way, and their Dao hearts have been worn away.

Now they are just curious about who can obtain the Seal of Proving the Dao and step onto the Ultimate Ancient Road.

There is also the challenge between Ye Guchen and Jun Xiaoyao, which has also attracted many prodigies to come.

Even some indigenous living beings of the Emperor Road are gathering here to watch the excitement.

In the void, a middle-aged man wearing brilliant divine armor, carrying a Supreme pressure, subdued the entire arena.

He is the guardian of the eighteenth pass of the Emperor Road, Hangu Pass, Supreme Du Tuo.

The Huangtian Battlefield is the ultimate trial ground for the last pass of the Emperor Road and is very important.

Even Supreme Du Tuo has to take it to heart and has been guarding this place. 【57

"Tsk tsk, a Celestial Embryo; that is something that would even make me feel tempted," Supreme Du Tuo sighed.

A supreme treasure of heaven and earth like the Celestial Embryo could tempt even a Supreme like him, let alone those prodigies participating in the struggle.

To obtain the Celestial Embryo and cultivate Celestial Qi, there is nothing they would not do.

Fair one-on-one competition?

It simply does not exist!

"However, what puzzles me is why that little girl from the Jiang Clan, having obtained the Celestial Embryo, does not refine it directly?" Supreme Du Tuo shook his head, his eyes filled with confusion.

Although Jiang Shengyi has been targeted by all sides, she should have been able to find the time to refine the Celestial Embryo.

With her Innate Dao Embryo aptitude, if she refined the Celestial Embryo, she would definitely leap to become a top-tier forbidden prodigy.

But Jiang Shengyi did not do so.

At this moment, deep within the Desolate Heaven Battlefield.

On a desolate Gobi desert.

A celestial figure was streaking rapidly through the air.

She wore snow-white robes, had a head of white hair, and possessed a peerless celestial face that was pure and refined.

Her figure was graceful and flawless, her delicate body tall and elegant like a snow lotus left in the world, with jade-like skin and celestial bones, her temperament ethereal.

It was none other than Jiang Shengyi.

Only, at this moment, her condition was not very good.

Her exquisite, painting-like celestial face was pale and bloodless, and her snow-white robes were stained with specks of blood, like blooming blood plums.

Paired with her frost-like white hair, it gave her a kind of tragic, stunning beauty.

"Hold on, keep holding on... I must wait for him to come..." Jiang Shengyi wiped the residual blood from the corner of her lips with her jade hand.

During this time, she had been repeatedly besieged by prodigies from all sides, fleeing all the way.

As for the Jiang Clan members and Jun Clan members who wanted to help her, they had also encountered harassment and interception, unable to arrive in time.

After all, a supreme treasure of heaven and earth like the Celestial Embryo is enough to drive people mad; no one can resist such temptation.

What made Jiang Shengyi feel a sense of foreboding was that some minor giants seemed to have reached some kind of secret agreement to target her with all their might.

Just as Jiang Shengyi was pondering this in her heart, a figure suddenly appeared from the void ahead.

It was a graceful figure in green robes, sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform, her face covered by a white veil, shrouded in celestial radiance, revealing only a pair of clear, autumn-water-like eyes.

It was the Goddess of the Ji Clan, Ji Qingyi.

"Ji Qingyi, it's you." Jiang Shengyi's beautiful eyes revealed a look of caution, the power of her Innate Dao Embryo circulating within her body.

"Jiang Shengyi, Qingyi does not wish to declare war on you; I can exchange various rare treasures with you for the Celestial Embryo," Ji Qingyi said.

She had no killing intent and did not wish to strike.

"You know that is impossible." Jiang Shengyi shook her head.

How precious a thing is the Celestial Embryo; it is not something that can be exchanged for just any treasure.

Moreover, she had her own plans for the Celestial Embryo she obtained and could not hand it over to others.

"Then how about exchanging it for a Celestial Scripture?" Ji Qingyi smiled slightly.

"What, you have a Celestial Scripture?" Jiang Shengyi was truly surprised.

A Celestial Scripture is an incredibly rare thing, rumored to be a supreme technique left behind by true immortals.

Even among some immortal forces, there might only be some incomplete Celestial Scriptures.

"My Celestial Scripture is naturally not complete either, but I do have half of it, which is enough to cultivate celestial divine abilities," Ji Qingyi said.

Jiang Shengyi looked deeply at Ji Qingyi.

Ji Qingyi is not only the Goddess of the Ancient Ji Clan but also a celestial maiden of the Human Immortal Sect.

As a descendant of two major immortal forces, Ji Qingyi was actually very low-key, unlike Jun Xiaoyao, who is famous throughout the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.

But she is definitely the person who hides the deepest, to the point that even Jiang Shengyi cannot see through her.

However, Jiang Shengyi still shook her head.

Her Celestial Embryo already had an intended owner.

"Is that so? That is truly a pity; you have missed an opportunity to forge a good connection," Ji Qingyi sighed.

"Forge a good connection, with you?" Jiang Shengyi said.

"Not with me, but with the true descendant of the Human Immortal Sect, a being destined to become supreme. As for me, I am merely an assistant, and this Celestial Embryo is something I wanted to obtain for him."

Ji Qingyi tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with her jade hand, her tone as calm as water.

"The true descendant of the Human Immortal Sect?" Jiang Shengyi's beautiful eyes revealed a trace of surprise.

The dignified Saintess of the Human Immortal Sect, the unfathomable Ji Qingyi, is actually just an assistant?

"The Human Immortal Sect is not a local sect of the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, but like the Sacred Sect, it came to preach from other immortal domains."

"That being destined to become supreme is a heaven-defying descendant from the main lineage of the Human Immortal Sect who has been dormant for many epochs."

"His constitution is also one of the top ten terrifying constitutions among the three thousand constitutions, and his background is even more taboo."

"One could even say that his background is no worse than Jun Xiaoyao's," Ji Qingyi said.

Jiang Shengyi felt uncomfortable hearing this.

She did not like it when someone was compared to Jun Xiaoyao.

In her heart, Jun Xiaoyao will always be the man who stands at the very peak, looking down upon all living beings.

"You do not hand over the Celestial Embryo, yet you do not merge with it either. Could it be because you want to save the Celestial Embryo for Jun Xiaoyao?" Ji Qingyi guessed.

Jiang Shengyi's expression did not change, but her beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

Clearly, Ji Qingyi had guessed correctly.

"Such a precious Celestial Embryo—if you merged with it, combined with your Innate Dao Embryo, you could definitely achieve ultimate sublimation, and people like Long Xuhuang would have to taste defeat before you."

"And yet, you are willing to be hunted, besieged, and injured, just to save the Celestial Embryo for Jun Xiaoyao?"

Ji Qingyi sighed; she was truly surprised, as it exceeded her expectations.

A precious thing like the Celestial Embryo is enough to make siblings turn against each other and friends kill one another.

Jiang Shengyi risked her life to keep the Celestial Embryo, yet it was not for herself, but to save it for Jun Xiaoyao.

What kind of profound emotion could make a person choose to sacrifice themselves in such a way?
