The three thousand divine guards of the Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor scoured the entire Arclight Second Domain but could not find Mingzhi Tian. The Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor withdrew his divine sense: "He has entered the Hot Star Domain."
Outside the Hot Star Domain...
Lord Su Qianqiu, along with five thousand disciples at the God Emperor realm, first to second heaven, had been waiting for a long time, lined up in two rows, awaiting the arrival of the Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor.
Three thousand divine guards at the supreme God realm, second heaven, flashed into existence! "Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor arrives! All irrelevant individuals, step aside!"
Seeing the Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor arrive, Su Qianqiu stepped forward voluntarily and respectfully bowed: "Su Qianqiu of the Hot Star Domain, pays respects to the Heavenly Emperor!"
The remaining five thousand disciples also bowed in unison.
The Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor said, "Why are you all gathered here?"
Su Qianqiu quickly forced a smile: "Your Heavenly Emperor, please do not misunderstand. We are here to welcome Your Heavenly Emperor and assist in finding the culprit. I have also heard that Yun Jun Immortal was killed by that thief, one of the three great divine palaces. Your Heavenly Emperor's personal visit, thus I dare not neglect, and specifically come to welcome you. I beg Your Heavenly Emperor not to be polite. Our Hot Star Domain opens its doors wide, and we are determined to assist Your Heavenly Emperor in apprehending the thief soon and bringing justice to the Immortal."
It would be strange if he didn't say this. He knew that neither Qian Chenruyi of the Stone Ink Heavenly Domain nor Bei Mo Chang of the Arclight Second Domain were opponents of his Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor.
His Hot Star Domain, ranked only third, and his cultivation being merely at the fifth heaven of the Great Accomplishment Great Wheel King realm, was like an ant trying to shake a tree, a mantis trying to stop a chariot, or an egg crashing against a rock.
"Please."
The Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor did not stand on ceremony and entered directly.
The scene shifted. Mingzhi Tian was not having a good time. He had barely found his footing when he heard that the Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor had already arrived. My heavens, quickly run!
The divine guard respectfully bowed: "Reporting to Your Heavenly Emperor! This subordinate personally saw that brat run into the Fourth Domain, the Cloud Water Domain."
The Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor was enraged because Mingzhi Tian had wasted his time: "Search! Turn the world upside down! Dig him out if you have to!"
"Yes!"
Cloud Water Domain...
Jie Baihe led five thousand disciples to personally welcome him. The Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor, with his three thousand divine guards, moved swiftly, but they still missed him.
Floating Cosmos Beautiful Domain, Northern Marvelous Nether Sea Domain. The last two domains. The Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor opened his eyes upon hearing the reports from his divine guards: "Reporting to Your Heavenly Emperor! Nothing!"
The Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor looked towards a distant corner: "He must have entered the Eight Desolations. This brat is very clever. Such a person, if allowed to grow powerful, will surely be a major threat to me in the Cloud's Edge in the future. Transmit my command: Speed to the Eight Desolations. If you see this person, kill on sight!"
"Yes!"
"Wait! Heavenly Emperor! Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor...!"
A divine guard flew from behind and landed before the Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor.
The Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor frowned slightly: "What is it?"
The divine guard bowed respectfully: "Reporting to Your Heavenly Emperor! The Star Gate has sent someone to request an audience!"
"!"
The Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor had to temporarily set aside this matter and immediately led his three thousand divine guards back to the Cloud's Edge.
In reality, Yun Jun Immortal was pregnant. Mingzhi Tian had essentially destroyed two lives. What the Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor did not know was that a dark green hat had long been placed upon his head, for the child in Yun Jun Immortal's womb was the Book Emperor's.
...
Xiaoling Immortal Mansion—
The Star Gate had only sent a young man in white to demand the person. This happened once every hundred years, used for dual cultivation with the Lord of the Star Gate, and only females, beautiful ones. This was the rule between the Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor and the Star Gate for thousands of years.
This person was named Xing Jie. He was rather impatient. After waiting for the Hongxuan Heavenly Emperor for a long time without him appearing, he decided to choose the candidate first.
After a hundred-to-one selection among the immortal mansions of Kun Ji Immortal, Pear Blossom Immortal, and Xiaoling Immortal, he chose Xiaoling Immortal from Xiaoling Immortal Mansion.
