While the Great Han Immortal Dynasty was plotting against the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty and the Purple Thunder Sect, Princess Han Yue, Yang Ying, who had left the Great Han Immortal Dynasty, followed Murong Yue and Xia Xinyu. After several spatial traversals, they entered the Danxue Mountain in the Fengzhou realm. They were highly valued and doted upon by Emperor Taixu Immortal and Emperor Shiyuan Immortal, who immediately conferred Yang Ying the title of the first Saintess. Possessing the True Phoenix bloodline, Yang Ying instantly became the most dazzling existence in the Fengzhou realm. The True Phoenix bloodline was an incredibly powerful bloodline, renowned throughout the entire Immortal Realm. The moment Yang Ying, who possessed the True Phoenix bloodline, appeared in the Fengzhou realm, countless eyes from myriad forces across the Immortal Realm watched this scene unfold.
Within days of Yang Ying entering the Fengzhou realm, Kong Xuan, known as the foremost individual beneath Immortal Emperors, and Jin Chi Da Peng Niao Yuyi both ascended to the Immortal Emperor realm. They were summoned by Emperor Taixu Immortal and Emperor Shiyuan Immortal and, three days later, directly entered the Ancient Star Road.
"This fellow has finally become an Immortal Emperor. Having occupied the title of the foremost Quasi-Emperor for so long, we have truly been suppressed."
"Yuyi has also ascended to the Immortal Emperor realm!"
"So terrifying!"
"Four Emperors from one lineage! Four Emperors from one lineage!"
"Since the Immortal Realm entered the Savage Era, when has there ever been a single lineage or clan that produced four Immortal Emperor powerhouses within two generations!"
"Is the curse of the Great Dao about to change?"
As the stairs leading to the Ancient Star Road vanished into the void of the Fengzhou realm, countless old and new Quasi-Emperor beings, gazing at the dissipating stairs, murmured to themselves. Kong Xuan was exceptionally formidable, even capable of contending with an Immortal Emperor who controlled an Emperor's Mandate, suppressing the entire Immortal Realm for countless years. Emperor Taixu Immortal and Emperor Shiyuan Immortal had collectively nurtured eight heaven-defying beings. First, Kong Xuan suppressed a multitude of Quasi-Emperors, followed by Jin Chi Da Peng Niao Yuyi, who challenged all Quasi-Emperor beings of the Dragon clan single-handedly. These two powerhouses illuminated the entire Immortal Realm, making the era of Emperors incredibly brilliant. Despite being Quasi-Emperor beings, they had already left a deep and terrifying impression on the Immortal Realm, forcing even newly ascended Immortal Emperors to temporarily avoid their锋芒.
"Saintess!"
As a stone door opened in a secluded area of Danxue Mountain, Murong Yue, the foremost disciple of Kong Xuan and a powerhouse in the Immortal Sovereign realm, bowed respectfully to Yang Ying. As Xia Xinyu was about to bow, Yang Ying held her up, her bright eyes blinking, and said, "Aunt Xia, you don't need to be so formal."
"Although Aunt Xia is not from my Great Han, she is on close terms with my father. If you are like this, my father will scold me again if he finds out."
"Huh? Why is Danxue Mountain so quiet today? What's going on?" Yang Ying looked into the distance. The usual scene of countless birds chirping was now as silent as a cold autumn night.
"Something has happened in the Fengzhou realm," Murong Yue said with a somber and angry expression, the fury in her eyes completely unconcealed.
"What happened?" Yang Ying, anxious, instantly moved beside Murong Yue, grabbing her arms and asking urgently. Since arriving in the Fengzhou realm, everyone in the realm had treated her with utmost respect and care, especially Emperor Taixu Immortal and Emperor Shiyuan Immortal. Both were peerless powerhouses and treated her with a common heart, guiding her on how to use and stimulate the power of her True Phoenix bloodline.
"Alas!"
Murong Yue sighed deeply. "The Immortal Realm is vast, having experienced the Era of Creation, the Ancient Immortal Era, the Savage Era, the Underworld Sea Era, and now the Era of Emperors. Since the Immortal Realm entered the Savage Emperor Era, no clan or lineage has consecutively produced three Immortal Emperors. The Immortal Emperor realm is a struggle against the Great Dao. Upon reaching the Immortal Emperor realm, the Great Dao will inevitably unleash a curse, forcefully stripping the fortune of its affiliated forces and races.
"And my Phoenix clan, with Emperor Taixu Immortal and Emperor Shiyuan Immortal rising in the early days of the Era of Emperors, and now my master and seventh martial uncle have consecutively ascended to the Immortal Emperor realm and entered the Ancient Star Road to contend for Emperor's Mandate. The consecutive emergence of four Immortal Emperor powerhouses within two generations is an unprecedented major change. The Phoenix clan has become a thorn in the eyes of all powerful forces in the Immortal Realm. And you! Though not a creature of my Phoenix clan, you bear the True Phoenix bloodline and, with the protection and guidance of Emperor Shiyuan Immortal and Emperor Taixu Immortal, are bound to attain the Immortal Emperor Dao."
"My master and seventh martial uncle have entered the Ancient Star Road, and with you, a True Phoenix bloodline bearer, the Zhao Yao Palace, which has deep grievances with our Fengzhou realm, intends to gather troops to attack my Phoenix clan. Emperor Zhao Yao has even allied with the Great Dao Palace and the Wu Shan Immortal Court. These three major forces have formed an alliance, intending to join hands during this opportune moment to destroy the foundation of my Phoenix clan."
"With the three major forces joining hands, and because my seventh martial uncle was impetuous in his youth and had deep grievances with the Dragon clan, the conflict is irreconcilable. It is likely that the Dragon clan will also send powerful forces to demand an explanation."
Xia Xinyu, standing nearby, added, "The three major forces have allied, and the Dragon clan's attitude is unclear. For their safety, Emperor Taixu Immortal and Emperor Shiyuan Immortal have entrusted us two to escort you back to Great Han. As long as you are given enough time, the bloodline and glory of the Phoenix clan will endure forever!"
"I will not go back!"
Yang Ying clenched her fists and said, "My father always told me not to provoke trouble, but also not to fear it. My Great Han Immortal Dynasty, from the lowest plane, has ascended to the Immortal Realm through bloodshed step by step, and not a single person has ever retreated half a step. Emperor Taixu Immortal and Emperor Shiyuan Immortal treat me like their own daughter. How can I abandon Danxue Mountain? I am the Princess Han Yue of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty, and every word and action of mine represents the Great Han Immortal Dynasty!"
"Emperor Taixu Immortal informed me the other day that Emperor Zhao Yao and Emperor Kuangshen must have used forbidden methods to divine the day my master and seventh martial uncle achieved Immortal Emperor status. Judging by the marching speed of Zhao Yao Palace, Great Dao Palace, and Wu Shan Immortal Court these past few days, they have likely planned this war in their minds for no less than a thousand times. The three major forces are advancing menacingly, and some core clan members are already being evacuated. Saintess, you absolutely must not act impulsively." Looking at the stubborn Yang Ying, Murong Yue still advised her earnestly.
"Zhao Yao Palace, Great Dao Palace, and that Wu Shan Immortal Court, are they really that powerful, to the extent that they make the two Immortal Emperors so wary?" Yang Ying, who had left the Great Han Immortal Dynasty for the first time to explore the Immortal Realm, felt like an insurmountable mountain blocking her path when she met the two Immortal Emperors. She personally felt that Emperor Taixu Immortal and Emperor Shiyuan Immortal represented the highest pinnacle of cultivation in the Immortal Realm, difficult to surpass.
"Zhao Yao Palace!"
Murong Yue turned slightly and gazed at the distant firmament, saying, "Emperor Zhao Yao's true form is a Xingxing. The Xingxing race possesses a special ability bestowed by the Great Dao, allowing them to know past events but unable to foresee the future. The bones of the Xingxing race are also excellent materials for refining Immortal Treasure warships, and warships refined from them possess speeds several times that of ordinary ones."
