Chapter 1222 - Rumors of the Battlefield of the Domain Boundary

Snowy Skies City.

A Blacksmith’s workshop.

The Night Watchman’s disciple, A’Cheng, worked the bellows as usual, scattering sparks.

A mellow voice suddenly rang out. “Oh, that's somewhat interesting.”

A’Cheng looked over. He wasn’t sure when he’d gotten there, but there was now an elegant old man in long robes standing outside the workshop door.

A beautiful woman with pure, youthful features stood beside him, clad in a simple red dress. Her beauty left A’Cheng stunned.

A moment later, he grinned. “Customer, are you here to refine a treasure?”

The old man in long robes shook his head. “I’m here to see your master.”

A’Cheng was stunned, but just as he was about to say something, a cold, firm voice rang out. “A’Cheng, return to your room.”

The entirely unassuming, gray-robed Night Watchman emerged accompanying this voice.

“Got it!” A’Cheng scratched his head, turned, and entered the smithy.

“Are you here to flaunt your power?” The Night Watchman said coldly.

He recognized the Netherworld King at a glance, and realized that it was quite likely that the man in long robes had brought her from the City of the Wrongfully Dead.

The old man in long robes smiled warmly. “Don’t misunderstand. I’ve come here purely in hopes that you can pass on a message to Su Xuanjun.”

The Night Watchman was instantly solemn, and his brow furrowed. “Why not visit him yourself?”

The old man in long robes sighed, as if he found it a pity. “I’m acting on orders, and I cannot act without permission. I’ll just have you trouble you.”

After a moment’s silence, the Night Watchman said, “Speak.”

The old man in long robes smiled. “Please tell Su Xuanjun that the Supreme Leader of the Nine Heavens Pavilion wishes to meet with him in the Heavenly Prayer Star Realm within a year at the latest.”

The Night Watchman’s eyes narrowed. He was just about to say something, but the long-robed old man was already smiling and clasping his fist. A moment later, he led the Netherworld King away.

“What a terrifying cultivation base! He actually wasn’t subject to the power of Fengdu’s Laws!”

The Night Watchman’s heart churned. “Old Monster Su, when did you find yourself such a terrifying enemy?”

......

As they left the Netherworld, the Netherworld King finally couldn’t help but break her silence. “Heavenly LIbationer, why not visit Su Xuanjun personally?”

The old man in long robes said gently, “The Supreme Leader told me that all I needed to do was bring you back. I cannot complicate things by going off track.”

The Netherworld King’s eye flashed. “I’ve been trapped in the Netherworld for so long. Why did the Supreme Leader suddenly decide to bring me back?”

After a moment’s silence, the old man said, “I heard that your father has returned alive.”

It was as if the Netherworld King had been struck by lightning. She couldn’t help but blurt, “My father!? He... He... isn’t dead!?”

She’d obviously lost control of her emotions, and the look on her beautiful face shifted erratically.

The long-robed old man said gently, “A’Jiu, I don’t know the details either. When we return, all will become clear.”

Quite some time passed before the Netherworld King gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Heavenly Libationer, forgive my boldness, but... does the Supreme Leader intend to use my life to threaten my father again?”

The long-robed old man’s brow furrowed as he corrected her. “A’Jiu, you’re mistaken. No threats have ever taken place between your father and the Supreme Leader.”

The Netherworld King fell silent. She could sense that the old man was displeased!

And she knew that when he lost his temper, he was crueler and more cold-blooded than any demonic cultivator or heretic!

After leaving the Netherworld and shooting into outer space, the old man in long robes suddenly exclaimed, “Strange! The Laws of the Dark and Gold Star Realm were in decline, but now, they’re surging with newfound vitality. It seems they’re starting to recover?”

The Netherworld King’s heart shook. “You didn’t sense this when you arrived, Heavenly Libationer?”

The long-robed elder shook his head. “I arrived half a year ago. I spent that time in the Netherworld investigating your whereabouts. Now, it seems as if something has changed about the Laws of the Dark and Gold Star Realm.”

The Netherworld King mulled that over. “Why not seize this opportunity to investigate the truth behind the revival of the Dark and Gold Star Realm’s Laws?”

The long-robed elder took a deep look at her. “A’Jiu, I know you want to stall for time, but in the current Dark and Gold Star Realm, no one, not even Su Xuanjun, can stop me from taking you with me.”

The Netherworld King fell silent, a nigh imperceptible hint of somberness in her expression.

Before long, both of them disappeared into the boundless void of outer space.

......

The Grotto of Abstrue Force.

The outside world was in uproar, but Su Yi was enjoying a rare period of relaxation.

After returning from the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals, he disregarded worldly affairs. When he wasn’t cultivating, he went sightseeing with Wen Lingxue, Cha Jin, and Qing Wan.

Occasionally, he’d instruct Jing Xing, Wang Que, and the other disciples in their cultivation.

His days were leisurely and relaxed.

But these days of leisure were soon shattered when a letter arrived from the Night Watchman.

“They want me to meet with the Supreme Leader of the Nine Heavens Pavilion within a year?” Su Yi’s eyebrows rose. What kind of game is he playing?

He had the Temple Master’s memories, so he knew that the Supreme Leader of the Nine Heavens Pavilion was the type whose emotions didn’t show on his face. He was a deep, meticulous thinker with an unfathomable cultivation base.

“He even took the Netherworld King away. Does he plan to use her to threaten me? No, he wouldn’t do something so stupid. I’m sure there are secrets behind this.” Su Yi sank into contemplation, but he couldn’t quite wrap his head around it.

A while later, he shook his head. He couldn’t be bothered to give the matter any further thought.

It didn’t matter what the Supreme Leader of the Nine Heavens Pavilion was thinking. He’d soon visit the Heavenly Prayer Star Realm personally. When he did, all would become clear. contemporary romance

“He’s only giving me a year... it seems the old man is a bit frantic. But that just makes it more important that I don’t rush. We’ll see which of us does a better job keeping a cool head.”

Having reached this conclusion, Su Yi called Meng Changyun over.

“Has anything major changed amongst the stars in recent years?” asked Su Yi.

Meng Changyun thought for a moment, then said, “Your Excellency, I’ve always cultivated in the Thousand Opportunities Star Realm, and I haven’t heard of any major developments of late.”

“No, wait!” A moment later, Meng Changyun facepalmed. “About twenty years ago, rumors started circulating around all the major star realms, causing enormous uproar. Even peak factions were startled into action.”

“What kind of rumors?” asked Su Yi.

Meng Changyun hurriedly explained, “Apparently, the long-dormant Domain Boundary Battlefield is due to reopen, leading to enormous, unpredictable interactions between the Eastern Profound Star Domain and several other star domains!”

Su Yi’s eyes narrowed. Inwardly, he couldn’t help but be surprised.

The Domain Boundary Battlefield!

A place that had lain dormant for so long that the star realms of the Eastern Profound Star Domain had almost forgotten about it.

Rumor had it that the Domain Boundary Battlefield served as a tunnel between star domains.

There were also rumors that the Domain Boundary Battlefield was a remnant of the Immortal Realm, and that it hid secrets regarding the path of immortality.

To the rest of the world, these were all just rumors.

The Temple Master, however, had personally investigated the secrets of the battlefield, and in the end, he had reached a conclusion—

It really did exist!

The Domain Boundary Battlefield was like a bridge connecting star domains. Naturally, this made it a place the various star domains were sure to fight over!

But long ago, in ancient times, something changed in the Domain Boundary Battlefield, and it disappeared completely.

It hadn’t reappeared even once since.

“If the rumors are true, that really will be an unprecedentedly enormous development for the entire Eastern Profound Star Domain...” murmured Su Yi.

The Eastern Profound Star Domain encompassed over a hundred star realms, as well as countless worlds and planes both great and small. This included the Dark and Gold Star Realm.

After regaining the Temple Master’s memories, Su Yi knew that other star domains existed beyond the Eastern Profound Star Domain!

In ancient times, the Domain Boundary Battlefield had been like a hub connecting all of the different star domains.

However, after it disappeared, the connection between star domains had been severed, and they no longer had any interaction.

But now, there were rumors that the Domain Boundary Battlefield was about to reopen. If that was true, the Eastern Profound Star Domain really was in for unpredictable, dramatic changes!

After all, when the battlefield reappeared, it would give cultivators and factions of other star domains the opportunity to invade!

Of course, its reappearance had advantages too.

The peak factions of the Eastern Profound Star Domain would have the opportunity to fight their way into other star domains too. At the end of the day, it would depend on who managed to seize control of the Domain Boundary Battlefield!

“You’re exactly right, Your Excellency. Twenty years ago, when these rumors first spread, the various major star realms were in complete uproar. It caused a massive wave, and people are discussing these rumors even now,” Meng Changyun said with deep emotion.

“Rumors are ultimately just rumors. It’s still too early to comment.” Su Yi shook his head.

Lately, he’d been busy preparing to proceed into the stars. It wouldn’t be long before he set off.

After he arrived, he could naturally investigate news surrounding the Domain Boundary Battlefield in further detail.

Time slipped by. Before long, a month had passed.

During this time, Lu Yan came to visit the Grotto of Abstruse Force, and he showed Su Yi a complete set of new rules.

After flipping through it, Su Yi was quite satisfied.

Lu Yan and Kong Shen had decided to take him as their sovereign. They naturally had to act in accordance with the rules.

Strictly speaking, these were new rules for Lu Yan and Kong Shen to follow!

That aside, Su Yi took a trip to the Azure Continent and placed the Seed of the Azure back into the Origins of the Azure.

After half a year of cultivating in the Sea of Chaos, the Seed of the Azure had absorbed an enormous volume of chaos power. This had long since reawakened its vitality, giving it the potential to grow.

Su Yi was confident that as the Seed of the Azure awakened, the Azure Continent would be able to avoid the natural decline that was to come after its peak back in the day. The seed would grow into an all-new world source!

By doing this, he’d effectively kept his promise to A’Cang.

Furthermore, Su Yi brought the ancient, legendary experts' legacies back to the Grotto of Abstruse Force and set up a trial ground.

Anyone who passed them had an opportunity to receive the legacy of an ancient expert. And that actually meant "anyone"—cultivators of peak orthodoxies like the Nine Extremes Profound Capital and Little Western Paradise all had the opportunity to undergo these trials. Su Yi disdained keeping such things to himself. These legacies originally belonged to others, and it was only right that they went to those best suited to inherit them.

That very day, Su Yi called Jing Xing, Jin Kui, and the other disciples to his side and told them his decision.

“I plan to begin my journey into the stars tomorrow.”
