Qing Di Bao Feng Xi sighed and continued, "The Net of Darkness has appeared, which means the seal we nine laid down can't hold for much longer."
Ye Ling Yuan said with a grave expression, "Is there no way to resist the invaders from beyond the domain?"
Qing Di Bao Feng Xi shook his head and said, "There are ways, but this venerable being can't guarantee success."
"What ways?"
Ye Ling Yuan's eyes lit up as he asked.
Sitting idly by and waiting for death was not his style, so as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would strive for it.
"After the nine of us made our sacrifices, we each retained a trace of our true spirit and sent it into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
This can be considered our last contribution to Azure Blue Star as children of the Ancestral Gods!"
Ye Ling Yuan impatiently said, "Just tell me what I need to do!"
The situation was dire, and he didn't want to waste a single moment.
Qing Di Bao Feng Xi said with a wry smile, "It's not what you need to do, but what you all need to do!"
"Us?"
Ye Ling Yuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood Qing Di Bao Feng Xi's meaning.
He said displeasantly, "Does Lin'er have to be involved?"
Qing Di Bao Feng Xi nodded and said, "Once the invaders from beyond the domain descend, when the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact?
Moreover, this is her destiny; she cannot escape it!"
"Destiny? What do you mean?" Ye Ling Yuan asked in shock.
"What is called destiny is the reason for her arrival in this world.
This, this venerable being cannot tell you too much for now.
What you need to do now is to travel to Tian Ci Continent and Shen Yi Continent to find the reincarnated bodies of the other eight!
Only when the reincarnated bodies of us nine are gathered can Azure Blue Star have a slim chance of survival!"
After Qing Di Bao Feng Xi finished speaking, he once again fell silent within Ye Ling Yuan's soul.
No matter how Ye Ling Yuan called out, he did not utter another sound.
"Damn it!"
Ye Ling Yuan cursed under his breath and then angrily went to make arrangements for their departure.
He hadn't expected that after just returning and not settling in, he would have to leave again.
Ye Ling Yuan didn't consider himself a savior, but as Qing Di Bao Feng Xi said, when the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact?
Therefore, he had no choice but to resign himself to finding the reincarnated bodies of the other eight guardians.
As for himself, when Qing Di Bao Feng Xi first appeared in his consciousness, he already knew that he was the reincarnation of Qing Di Bao Feng Xi.
Ye Ling Yuan spent a full month arranging all matters in the Tian Yuan Empire.
Zi Lin Ling had also made arrangements for the Zi family and the King's Mercenary Group.
The Zi family, needless to say, was now the maternal clan of the Empress of the Tian Yuan Empire, and no one dared to challenge them.
Moreover, Zi Lin Ling's title as the foremost alchemist on the Tian Yuan Continent was not just for show.
Who would be so foolish as to provoke an Emperor-level alchemist?
Similarly, the King's Mercenary Group had also risen in status.
The private mercenary group of the Empress of the Tian Yuan Empire was a golden signboard.
Of course, Zi Lin Ling had also instructed the high-ranking members of the King's Mercenary Group not to abuse their power. Any violations would result in immediate execution, and anyone who dared to harbor them would be considered an accomplice!
After arranging all matters in the Tian Yuan Empire, Zi Lin Ling and Ye Ling Yuan once again came to the spatial passage at the bottom of the Soul Severing Cliff.
"Ye Ling Yuan, we don't know when we'll be back this time. I'm a little reluctant to leave!"
Zi Lin Ling looked back at everything familiar, her eyes full of reluctance.
Ye Ling Yuan smiled faintly, "I am also reluctant, but we must go!"
Although he was smiling, he couldn't hide the complexity in his eyes.
Zi Lin Ling said with a wry smile, "I was just saying. Let's go!"
Ye Ling Yuan nodded and was about to activate the spatial passage to Tian Ci Continent.
"Wait for me!"
As the voice fell, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Ao Xiang and Zi Guo Chang appeared before them.
"Dad, Brother Ao, what is this..."
Zi Lin Ling looked at Zi Guo Chang and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Ao Xiang in surprise and asked.
A trace of sadness flashed in Zi Guo Chang's eyes, but it was quickly masked by a smile.
He pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'm going to look for your mother! I've searched the entire Tian Yuan Continent without finding her, so I suspect she's no longer on Tian Yuan Continent. Therefore, I want to go with you all to Tian Ci Continent or Shen Yi Continent to try our luck!"
Perhaps it was the emotional nature of the topic, but his expression became solemn.
However, Zi Lin Ling knew that Zi Guo Chang's search for her mother, Yue Wu Mei, was true, but his desire to protect her was also true.
It was just that he hadn't said it out loud because of Ye Ling Yuan.
As for the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Ao Xiang, he also gave his reason, "After a thousand years, I want to go back and see!"
He said it calmly, but a flash of killing intent flickered in his eyes.
Of course, this killing intent was not directed at Zi Lin Ling and Ye Ling Yuan.
Ye Ling Yuan and Zi Lin Ling exchanged a glance and did not refuse the two.
The spatial passage opened, and the four jumped in.
After an unknown amount of time, as their heads began to feel dizzy, a faint light finally appeared in the distance.
"We're here!"
All four rejoiced simultaneously, and the dizziness in their heads lessened considerably.
As their thoughts shifted, they felt solid ground beneath their feet.
"So comfortable!"
"Such dense spiritual energy!"
"My cultivation is increasing!"
"Roar~"
The four exclaimed in unison.
Shen Ci Continent was a higher-level continent than Tian Yuan Continent.
The spiritual energy here was even more abundant. Even if you didn't deliberately absorb it, your pores would involuntarily open.
Due to the overwhelming concentration of spiritual energy, their cultivations were all rapidly increasing.
Zi Lin Ling's bottleneck at the peak of the Saint King realm was instantly broken, and she directly entered the stage beyond the peak Saint King realm, just one step away from breaking through to the Emperor realm.
Ye Ling Yuan's cultivation directly broke through the bottleneck of the peak Lesser God realm and entered the Greater God realm, soaring upwards until it settled at the peak of the Greater God realm.
Zi Guo Chang's long-stagnant bottleneck was also finally broken, and he directly ascended to the late Greater God realm.
Although not as monstrous as Ye Ling Yuan, it was still enough to make a large group of people envious.
The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Ao Xiang was even more like a fish in water.
The dense spiritual energy cleansed his physical body, and the old injuries on his body rapidly healed.
At the same time, his cultivation also broke through to the late Greater God realm, the same as Zi Guo Chang.
However, due to the powerful physique of the Dragon race, it would be almost impossible for Zi Guo Chang to defeat him.
Dark clouds rapidly gathered in the sky, hovering above Ye Ling Yuan, Zi Guo Chang, and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Ao Xiang respectively.
"Bastard! How dare you try to cross the tribulation in the Spirit Cleansing Pool! Hurry and open the teleportation portal!"
An angry roar sounded.
Around the Spirit Cleansing Pool, three beams of light lit up, and Ye Ling Yuan, Zi Guo Chang, and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Ao Xiang were instantly teleported away.
