#375 - Chapter 385: Reactions from all parties, Lingxi is forced to marry
Inside the Desolate Heaven Dojo.
Countless Ascendants and their descendants.
After hearing that Jiang Ning had killed the Xuan Ancestor, they were all excited.
"One of us Ascendants produced a Jiang Ning, haha, let's see if those thieving dogs from the Immortal Realm dare to bully us again."
The Ascendants all laughed.
In the Mortal Realm, everyone wanted to ascend to the Immortal Realm and reach higher realms.
Initially, the Immortal Realm's attitude towards Ascendants was relatively friendly, and they could coexist peacefully.
However, as the number of Ascendants increased, and each of them possessed terrifying talent, they quickly reached the peak of the Immortal Realm.
Seizing the cultivation resources of the Immortal Realm beings.
Therefore, the major forces of the Immortal Realm began to join forces to make things difficult for the Ascendants.
Believing that Ascendants from humble origins were not worthy of competing with them for resources.
Thus, they hunted down Ascendants, sealed the Immortal Path, and cut off the path to immortality from the Mortal Realm.
Fortunately, a Desolate Lord emerged.
Although the Ascendant camp lived a difficult life, they were not driven to extinction.
The Desolate Ancestor, with his own strength, sheltered the entire Ascendant camp.
In the endless chaos.
A looming, majestic palace floated.
It was the mysterious Chaos Limitless Palace.
"Senior Brother, Jiang Ning's strength exceeded our expectations, I... we were unable to take his life."
Facing a strange black mist, Dao Ancestor Cang Jiu said.
"Master, I have disappointed you."
Dao Ancestor Mo Yan said with shame.
"For the time being, do not provoke that Jiang Ning. The implementation of the 'Darkness Without Light' plan is the most important."
"When darkness descends and the master is born, taking Jiang Ning's life will be as easy as flipping a hand."
After a moment of silence, a majestic voice echoed from the strange black mist.
"Yes."
Dao Ancestor Cang Jiu and Dao Ancestor Mo Yan accepted the order.
"Yan'er, this is a Demonic Seed condensed by the master at the cost of his cultivation."
"After you refine it, you will be able to completely recover your past life's cultivation. Do not let the master down."
A dazzling demonic light, like black flames, flew towards Dao Ancestor Mo Yan.
Dao Ancestor Mo Yan received the Demonic Seed.
"Master, rest assured, this disciple will certainly not let you down."
Returning to the peak of his previous life was something he had dreamed of for countless years.
As the progenitor of the Demon race, the strength he possessed was self-evident.
A certain mysterious place of darkness without light.
"Jiang Ning?"
"A monster even more powerful than Huang..."
"Interesting, interesting."
In the endless darkness, a pair of terrifying scarlet eyes appeared.
Emitting a chillingly evil laughter.
The laughter was extremely eerie, making people tremble with fear.
Within a certain ancient cave dwelling.
There was a chessboard.
There was an ancient and upright tree.
Beneath the ancient tree, three ancient beings sat cross-legged beside the chessboard.
Suddenly, they opened their eyes.
"Unexpectedly, a junior killed that old fellow Xuan Ancestor."
"We haven't entered the Immortal Realm for endless years, and unexpectedly such a terrifying monster has appeared."
In the Immortal Realm, countless dojos heard about Jiang Ning killing the Xuan Ancestor.
"The Ascendant camp has produced a Jiang Ning, this is a disaster for us in the Immortal Realm."
"The strength of the Ascendant camp is about to greatly increase."
"The emergence of a Desolate Lord was already troublesome enough, who would have thought another Jiang Ning would appear."
"Had we known this, we shouldn't have cared about our status and should have taken action to strangle Jiang Ning when he first ascended to the Immortal Realm."
Some Dao Ancestors of the dojos, after hearing the news, fell silent.
Regret filled their hearts.
Wa Imperial Palace.
Located on Nine Lotus Immortal Mountain, one of the thirty-six heavens.
The entire immortal mountain is shaped like a blooming lotus flower.
At the heart of the lotus is a magnificent palace.
The surrounding mountain peaks, like lotus leaves, form a powerful array, guarding the Wa Imperial Palace.
In a small pavilion.
A slender, graceful, and incomparably beautiful goddess stood within.
"Jiang Ning, he... actually killed the Xuan Ancestor."
"In that case, the hope of entering the Imperfect Sky has greatly increased."
After hearing this news, Immortal Ling Xi revealed a look of joy.
The Imperfect Sky was a different dimension created jointly by Ancestor Pan, Empress Wa, Emperor Xi, and Emperor Dong.
It was rumored that the Imperfect Sky contained the ultimate secrets of the Immortal Realm.
The lower volumes of the 《Mending Heaven Scripture》 and the 《Opening Heaven Scripture》 were also rumored to be hidden within.
"Jiang Ning, you must not disappoint me. Whether we can enter the Imperfect Sky depends entirely on you."
Immortal Ling Xi silently recited in her heart.
The Imperfect Sky concerned the hope of whether she could lead the Wa Imperial Palace to restore its former glory.
From the moment Immortal Ling Xi took action, revitalizing the Wa Imperial Palace became her lifelong mission.
"Ling Xi."
Just then, the voice of a middle-aged woman rang out.
A woman wearing a palace dress, still charming, walked forward.
"Greetings, Master."
Immortal Ling Xi quickly saluted.
It was the current leader of the Wa Imperial Palace, and also Qing Nu's master, Heavenly Venerable Seven Absolutes.
"Ling Xi, your... your master has something to tell you..."
Heavenly Venerable Seven Absolutes said hesitantly.
Immortal Ling Xi frowned slightly and asked, "Master, what is it?"
"You should be well aware of the current situation of our Wa Imperial Palace, it is far from the recovery of those years."
Otherwise, Bei Gongyu would not have dared to cross realms to pursue Immortal Ling Xi back then.
The current Wa Imperial Palace has declined to the point where its power is even inferior to that of the Immortal Palace of Immortality.
"Back then, your senior sister took action to save that Jiang Ning, offending the various sects."
"Out of respect for the Ancestral Master, although the various sects did not come to kill at the Wa Imperial Palace, they are secretly ostracizing us... Therefore, for the future of the Wa Imperial Palace, your master has arranged a marriage for you."
Heavenly Venerable Seven Absolutes said with some shame.
"What?"
"Arranged a marriage for me?"
"Isn't the Holy Maiden of the Wa Imperial Palace not supposed to marry?"
Immortal Ling Xi was very surprised to hear this.
"Times are different, for the future of the Wa Imperial Palace, your master must arrange that marriage."
Heavenly Venerable Seven Absolutes said helplessly.
"Who is the other party?" Immortal Ling Xi asked in a deep voice.
"The Son of the Heavenly Phoenix, Peacock Mingzun."
Heavenly Venerable Seven Absolutes said.
The Ancestor of the Heavenly Phoenix was a powerful existence like the Xuan Ancestor.
One of the Ten Ferocious Beasts of Chaos, possessing terrifying strength.
"Do you still remember that you obtained the Heavenly Phoenix Bib at birth and cultivated the Heavenly Phoenix Treasure Technique?"
"Although it is not complete, it is a simplified version of the Heavenly Phoenix Treasure Technique."
"All of this was given to you by the Ancestor of the Heavenly Phoenix herself when you were born."
"I don't know why she wanted to bestow you with treasures and techniques."
"When my Wa Imperial Palace encountered difficulties, she appeared again."
"Specifically asking you to marry Peacock Mingzun, your master had no choice but to agree."
Heavenly Venerable Seven Absolutes said with some shame.
Firstly, the Ancestor of the Heavenly Phoenix could not be offended.
Secondly, the Wa Imperial Palace at that time did need the help of the Ancestor of the Heavenly Phoenix.
"I won't marry!"
Immortal Ling Xi roared unwillingly.
For some reason, a strong sense of resistance arose in her heart.
"The marriage has been set, if you don't marry, how could the Ancestor of the Heavenly Phoenix possibly let it go?"
"You can't be allowed to act recklessly."
Heavenly Venerable Seven Absolutes said helplessly.
The Ancestor of the Heavenly Phoenix was not someone the current Wa Imperial Palace could afford to provoke.
