God Of Immortals

Chapter 126: Dilemma Of A Demigod [II]

Lang Hai was well aware of the rules of the vicinity of the forsaken phantom palace. Who would, in their right mind, offend the Jade emperor. Still staring at Chu Shang Wu, he sent a mindvoice across.

"You'll see the light of Radar another day. I assure you."

He looked at the gathering golden cores before streaking off into the sky. 

After a moment, Chu Shang Wu was standing on a small hill, overseeing the plains of Ivory-Yonder. That was so close to a battle. He later realized that he wouldn't fare well against the blood cultivator. And the death-gaze, he still remembered the looks on the face of the rogue blood cultivator before he left. That was the look of a deadly predator. He would have to be on guard, always, to protect himself from such a dangerous cultivator. Snapping out of his troubled thoughts, his mind wandered back to the present.

Ah. The plains of Ivory-yonder. One of the places that used to be the homes of the ancient ivory magical beasts. The mighty white Mastodons and the powerful golden saber-toothed tigers. Beasts with immense strength to rival that of some land divine beasts. Of them, there was even an ancient mythos. That those beasts with ivory tusk, could only be found in places of abundant terran energy. That was the reason for their incredible body strength. A pity it was now a shadow of its former self.

But, who could've known that an entrance of the Jade emperor's forsaken palace, would be here. Why here? Though, he could sense traces of heavenly spiritual energy but not that much for any significant cultivation. Chu Shang Wu remembered that the after-sense of Zhang Xiu Ying's aura had indicated she had entered the forsaken palace. The mythical palace of fortune. How he wished for it to be opened again now. He looked around, at the many nascent souls waiting for the gates to appear and open for them.

They were still waiting, when he felt a faint familiar connection. Instantly, he sent out his mind voice.

"Lady Zhang ?"

"Yes it's me, Chu Shang Wu."

Quickly, he disappeared in the direction of the connection. Forsaken palace could wait, if it was still there. He would have to find her, to see if she was alright.

Not long after, he found Zhang Xiu Ying, standing under a mighty oak tree.

"Lady Zhang, Joyful heavens, you are alright."

"I guess I am, Chi Sheng Wu. Joyful heavens, indeed."

"I received your message as soon as I returned from my journey of self-enlightenment and came as quickly as possible. I guess it wasn't quick enough. I only saw traces of your divine aura, entering the forsaken palace."

"I came across the forsaken palace by chance. I was running from the blood cultivator while tracing the direction of my son and his friends."

"Oh, I see.  I had an encounter with one, possibly the same one. Blood aura and chaotic blood armor."

"Yes, he's the one. His name is Lang Hai. An ascendant with great powers and techniques. You should be more careful of him in the future. He's much more powerful than you think."

"Hm. I will do that. By the way, what are they doing this faraway from their sect? I mean your son and others."

"It's their luminary week, so they decided to go on an adventure. There was an elder with them also."

"Good enough. Glad you are safe and sound. I will probably join the other nascent souls at the Ivory-Yonder to wait for the next gate opening, lady xiu."

"No need to worry yourself, Cu shang Wu, the entrance is gone. It's no more."

"Very well then. Any thing you still want to take care of, lady Zhang?

"No, Chi Shang Wu. We're done here. I give my thanks, for coming."

"En. Nothing to it, lady Zhang."

Back at the Skyspring village, Zhang Xiu Ying's mind wandered back to the forsake palace. At the least, she would be needing the help of Chu Shang Wu, soon. Lord Luoyang would've been the obvious choice but he already left on a journey. Sooner than later, he would be having his ascension tribulations Order of the gathering of the gods and would take years for him to return at the least. Or, Adong, the other titan on the Kaifeng continent, if she would be available. Reena decided she would wait to see the best way to go about it when it would be the time. Maybe, lord Luoyang would have returned by then.

She hoped it wouldn't be a sorrowful taking.

Zhang Wang Jing was pacing restlessly, as she casted frequent glances at her husband who was standing with his sight set on the far distance. A look of anxiety and apprehension on their faces as they contemplated the situation on hand.

It's been over half a-day since they lost the contact with Zhang Xiu Ying. She always maintained her contact with her parents anytime she's outside, though she never went outside the Lijiang continent. Nothing on the other continent to warrant a voyage from her, away from her family. At the least, she would inform them of this if she planned on taking one. And they knew as a true demigod of the golden core stage, her mind connection could cover a great distance on Lijiang continent if stretched. Thus, the reason for the concern of the sudden disconnectionin of their minds contact with her.

What could possibly have caused the disconnection?

Zhang Li Qiang asked his wife while stroking his beard anxiously.

"It seems strange. Not like Xiu Ying."

"A demigod like our daughter wouldn't have lost connection like that."

Zhang Wang Jing uttered, pacing up and down.

"The distance was within her range, unless she's gone to another continent."

"Could she have done that without informing us?"

"I don't think so. Something seems off. I can feel it."

"What do you think of it?"

"I don't know what to think of it,

As Zhang Wang Jing and Zhang Li Qiang continued to conversed outside their cave, worried expressions on their faces, their connection to Zhang Xiu Ying was restored. They couldn't contain their joy as they shouted in chorus.

"Xiu Ying!"
