Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Chapter 393: Chapter 198: The Evolution of Time-Sky Tower, Supreme Grade Imperial Arms! White Emperor City’s Zimiao Zhen! The Empress has given birth to a child?_5

“If not for Your Majesty’s favor, this treasure would not have come to Miaozhen.” Zimiao Miaozhen shook her head.

White Emperor nodded slightly, for that was indeed the truth.

In White Emperor City, there were countless Tongxuan Realm powerhouses, many of whom coveted this treasure, all lining up for it. Although Zimiao Miaozhen had contributed enough, in terms of seniority, she only ranked fifth.

At this moment, if White Emperor took a fancy to Zimiao Miaozhen, he could bestow the treasure upon her. Those ranked before her might feel discontent, but they would not say much, for after all, Zimiao Miaozhen was also qualified to receive it.

This was an unwritten rule known to all, it all depended on who garnered more of White Emperor’s attention.

If White Emperor did not have someone he particularly favored, then the distribution of the treasure would follow the order of seniority.

“Miaozhen, I have asked you to come because I need you to make another trip to Qianyuan Divine Province and handle a matter for me,” said White Emperor with a gentle tone.

Zimiao Miaozhen instinctively responded, “Is there a problem with that Great Emperor’s seal again? Impossible, I clearly reinforced it well…”

White Emperor shook his head slightly and said, “It is not his issue. A soul fragment from Empress Huangyue has fallen into Qianyuan Divine Province, and it seems there has been an incident. Empress Huangyue is quite upset.”

“She has already sent Ji Mingyue over. I was originally thinking of sending someone else, but since you’ve broken through to the Saint Abyss Realm, it would be better for you to go.”

Zimiao Miaozhen suddenly realized.

In the past decade, Empress Huangyue had been furiously upset twice—could it have been because her soul fragments ran into trouble?

“As Your Majesty commands, Miaozhen shall certainly not refuse,” Zimiao Miaozhen immediately promised.

This was good news for her. A trip to Qianyuan Divine Province would earn her a great deal of merit, whether she succeeded or not. If she were to succeed and White Emperor was pleased, he would value her more highly, bestowing upon her even more treasures.

“Ji Mingyue must have taken an Emperor Level weapon with her, so you should take one as well. If possible, bring back Huangyue’s soul fragment. If not, then just ascertain the reason for Empress Huangyue’s fury,” White Emperor instructed as he extended his hand and beckoned, summoning an Emperor Level weapon that flew toward Zimiao Miaozhen.

“Miaozhen will do her utmost not to disappoint Your Majesty’s trust,” Zimiao Miaozhen replied as she received the Emperor Level weapon, then left White Emperor Palace and returned to Zimiao Palace to get ready before heading out to Qianyuan Divine Province on her light boat.

Zimiao Miaozhen had been to Qianyuan Divine Province twice and was fairly familiar with it by now. She felt at ease, primarily because this mission was not difficult. If White Emperor had not favored her, he would not have entrusted her with this task.

Qianyuan Divine Province had long since declined, no longer as glorious and prosperous as before. The strongest there were only at Tongxuan Realm, and she could walk unhindered with an Emperor Level weapon.

Although the Sacred Lands had Immortal Grade weapons, they did not dare to awaken them rashly or act against her in the shadows; otherwise, White Emperor’s wrath would reduce the Sacred Lands of Qianyuan Divine Province to ashes.

Back in White Emperor Palace, White Emperor’s avatar turned around and looked toward Kunji Divine Province, his gaze seemingly crossing boundless time and space, reaching Empress Huangyue.

Empress Huangyue disrupted his gaze with a wave of her hand, prompting White Emperor to sigh softly.

“You’re still the same.”

Empress Huangyue, no, Empress Yuanchu, was plotting something—White Emperor was fully aware. He was engaged in the same endeavors, only taking different paths.

In the face of the imminent great calamity of Yuankun Domain and Xuanshen Sword Mountain, no Great Emperor dared to take it lightly. Anyone with a hope of becoming immortal was desperately amassing foundational strength and not rushing to make breakthroughs.

Huangyue must now be at a critical juncture, suppressing those separated souls; otherwise, with Huangyue’s disposition, she would have personally gone to Qianyuan Divine Province by now.

Among those separated souls of Huangyue, there are not a few who have achieved enlightenment and control over the Heavenly Sovereign Path; the Huangyue Empress desires to have all these souls completely submit to her, but naturally, those souls are unwilling as they have long been independent entities.

To confine and suppress these separated souls, the Huangyue Empress has been significantly distracted, and she doesn’t dare to act recklessly or step out of Huangyue Imperial City at will, worried that enemies might take advantage of her vulnerability. If these souls were to break free, the hope of recapturing them would become exceedingly dim.

Chengsheng Mountain, Han Mansion.

Han Li was in Yao Xi’s chamber, waiting for his beloved wife Yao Xi to give birth to their child.

Old Ancestor Han prayed quietly in his heart, hoping that his and Yao Xi’s first child would have a potential no lower than Fourth Grade.

His luck hadn’t been too good recently; he wondered if it was because he had obtained an Emperor Level Supreme Grade treasure from a treasure chest several months ago, that the subsequent chests had yielded no substantial rewards.

Although he now possessed First Grade potential, he had only been Second Grade when Yao Xi conceived. This child could not inherit his current potential.

Yao Xi might be the reincarnation of a powerful being, but she had not yet solved the mystery of her prenatal state, and her previous life’s potential had not returned. Currently, she possessed only Fifth Grade potential, and what the potential of the child she and Han Li would bring into the world was something Han Li was uncertain about.

It might be Fifth Grade, possibly Fourth Grade, and maybe even Third or Second Grade.

As for First Grade potential or a special constitution, Han Li felt there was little chance.

The likelihood of such events was extremely small; among his many descendants, only a rare few exhibited an unusual change in potential at birth, exceeding expectations, yet even the highest did not surpass Fourth Grade. It was far too difficult for a variation to result in First Grade or Immortal Grade potential.

As a wail broke the silence, Han Li collected his thoughts and strode into the room. After glancing at the child, he instantly probed its potential and his pupils shrank involuntarily.

Right as Yao Xi delivered the child, the Huangyue Empress in Huangyue Imperial City of Kunji Divine Province suddenly furrowed her brows, feeling unsettled.

It seemed as though something unfavorable had occurred.

The Huangyue Empress hastened to make an astrological calculation, but she failed to determine what had happened, which caused her to frown deeply.

Nowadays, Chengsheng Mountain is obscured by the Time-Sky Tower and the Void Bell, concealing the temporal and spatial landscape, blocking all probing attempts, so much so that not even a Heaven Imperial Realm Great Emperor or a Supreme Grade Imperial weapon could detect it.

Even wielding an Immortal Grade weapon would require significant karmic entanglement to barely conjecture anything.

After some thought, the Huangyue Empress still decided to use an Immortal Grade weapon, as this related to her own safety, and she dared not be the slightest bit negligent.

When the results became available, the Huangyue Empress was infuriated again. Had she not been preoccupied, she truly wished to go to Qianyuan Divine Province to capture that thief and subject him to severe punishment for a hundred thousand years.

He had actually impregnated one of her separated souls, and a descendant had just been born—this was an extreme violation of her dignity!

What angered her was that this thief possessed treasures capable of concealing fate and confounding time and space; otherwise, even if he were hundreds of Divine Provinces away, she could leverage this karmic connection to calculate his precise location.

But now, she could only discern a vague outline of the situation.

“I hope Ji Mingyue doesn’t disappoint me,” she murmured to herself, then closed her eyes, choosing not to dwell on the matter any further to avoid growing angrier.

The separated soul was connected to her, in essence, part of herself; was she, the noble Huangyue Empress, indirectly giving birth to someone else’s child?
