Chapter 265: The Appointment at the Phoenix Palace

Within the Quest for Dao Palace.

Ice Mountain Tyrant Lady gazed at the sky, and suddenly, her eyes widened in surprise, "Why did the sun just flicker?"

Great Sun Flame Emperor was equally perplexed.

The two suns in the sky, weren't they the Golden Core of Origin Venerable?

The sun flickered but didn't fall towards the Canglan Realm as it did before.

This Stellar Golden Core... where did it fall?

"I'm not sure what's happening either," Great Sun Flame Emperor replied truthfully.

"Why are you all concerned about the sun in the sky?" Wind Lord spoke up, seemingly displeased.

At this moment, Bloodrobe Sword God and Thunder Family Four Generals were engaged in an intense battle within the Void Realm.

Yet, his grandson was preoccupied with whether the sun would flicker again.

Great Sun Flame Emperor was at a loss for words.

He couldn't very well tell his grandfather that the sun in the sky was Bloodrobe Sword God's Golden Core.

Even if he did, no one would likely believe him.

Moreover, it was best to keep Origin Venerable's strength a secret.

From a distance, Elder Seven Wounds' gaze was complex, "The battle... should be reaching its conclusion soon, and so will our fate."

At this moment, he really wanted to grab the Jade Slip and run.

After all, it was a Divine Art, a Divine Art that had given this old tree a new spring.

Many eyes were now fixed on the location of the Quest for Dao Palace, awaiting the outcome.

Suddenly, a ripple in space caught the attention of all the Grand Cultivators, who turned to look.

In the sky, a crack appeared, and a handsome man clad in a blood-red robe, emerged, his eyes sparkling with a brilliant smile.

Upon seeing this man, almost everyone's gaze froze in shock.

"It's him!"

"Bloodrobe Sword God has appeared!"

"Impossible! Thunder Family Four Generals are known to have defeated Crimson Flame Lord!"

Every Dark Deity's heart trembled.

This was beyond their expectations.

Thunder Family Four Generals, each of them, were Sky-Treading Six Steps existences.

For Bloodrobe Sword God to defeat them... it was unimaginable.

Elder Seven Wounds also narrowed his eyes, then chuckled lightly, "Fortunately, I didn't run."

A thousand miles away, Jasmine Great Venerable's eyes gleamed with curiosity, "How did he win?"

From within the Antique Mirror, a voice from the silhouette spoke, "He ended the battle in less than five hundred breaths; his strength is just so-so."

If he were a Mythic, he could have ended the battle in less than thirty breaths.

Regarding Bloodrobe Sword God's strength, he had a better understanding.

"But... his body... is quite alluring. I, too, desire to uncover his secrets."

"When will you obtain his corpse, Master? Playing with it might be quite interesting." Jasmine Great Venerable's seductive tongue licked her lips.

Living in such an environment had twisted Jasmine Great Venerable's personality.

"Wait for me for a few days..." The silhouette in the Antique Mirror murmured.

Jasmine Great Venerable's eyes sparkled with anticipation, "Bloodrobe Sword God's body, Master's spirit, what a supreme pleasure this would be!"

Unfortunately, Qi Yuan was unaware of her thoughts.

Qi Yuan could strike through the internet, but he wasn't omniscient. If he knew Jasmine Great Venerable's thoughts, he would have surely killed this subordinate.

At this moment, Qi Yuan looked at the members of the Quest for Dao Palace and spoke softly, "Thunder Family Four Generals have been taken care of. Martial Lord Venerable, please help me contact the other branches of the Quest for Dao Palace. Tell them... the Origin Spirit Sharing Society intends to unite the heroes of the world to gather all cultivation techniques, exterminate Dark Sun, and overcome the Great Calamity!"

Collecting cultivation techniques was still necessary.

Even the meat of flies is still meat; Qi Yuan wouldn't be picky.

Martial Lord Venerable's eyes lit up with excitement.

The outcome of this battle didn't come as a surprise to him.

Bloodrobe Sword God had combat prowess comparable to a Mythic, and defeating Thunder Family Four Generals was as easy as it gets.

"Agreed," Martial Lord Venerable replied.

With Bloodrobe Sword God's impressive record, the Quest for Dao Palace might change its stance and support the Origin Spirit Sharing Society.

At this moment, Elder Seven Wounds was a website that provides cultivation techniques and resources for cultivators. It offers a wide range of cultivation techniques, including both orthodox and unorthodox methods, to cater to various preferences. The website also features a dating section for cultivators seeking partners, adding a unique twist to the cultivation journey.

Elder Seven Wounds and Wind Lord stood together, their thoughts swirling.

Their gaze towards Qi Yuan had changed since the beginning.

Qi Yuan turned to look at Ice Mountain Tyrant Lady, Great Sun Flame Emperor, and others, and couldn't help but sigh, "I've realized that not only the atmosphere in the Canglan Realm needs to be rectified, but the Upper Realm as well."

"Huh?" Great Sun Flame Emperor was perplexed.

Elder Seven Wounds was also confused. The Upper Realm? For the people of the Canglan Realm, the Upper Realm was more of a legend.

No Dark Deity from the Canglan Realm had ever ascended to the Upper Realm.

Shen Wushen nodded seriously, "The atmosphere in the Upper Realm is indeed problematic. The aggression is overwhelming. Sometimes, I say something casually, and someone challenges me to a life-or-death duel."

The cultivators present were bewildered, especially Elder Seven Wounds, who stared at Shen Wushen with a puzzled expression.

Qi Yuan paused, "It seems our observations align. By the way, what did you say?"

"A few years ago, my senior brother's child was born, and I remarked that the child didn't resemble him but looked more like me. As a result..." He sighed.

Shen Wushen sighed.

The others were left speechless by his words.

After a long silence, Elder Seven Wounds finally spoke, "He deserves a beating."

Qi Yuan, on the other hand, was deep in thought. "The negative energy is indeed overwhelming, and he's being far too distrustful of his Dao companion."

Then, a realization struck him, "Hey, how's your relationship with your Dao companion?"

"It's great. She's my childhood friend. Otherwise, why would her child be by my side?" Shen Wushen replied honestly.

At that moment, Qi Yuan was rendered speechless.

This wasn't just a matter of trust anymore.

People with low emotional intelligence... should just stay silent!

Setting aside the facts Shen Wushen had revealed, the negative energy in the Upper Realm was indeed overwhelming.

"If I go to the Upper Realm, I'll definitely cleanse its atmosphere," Qi Yuan declared with determination.

"Fellow Daoist, since you can't go to the Upper Realm, why not pass your Dao lineage to me? I, Shen Wushen, will definitely ascend to the Upper Realm and carry out your will, cleansing its atmosphere," Shen Wushen said passionately, his face full of anticipation.

"Shut up!" Qi Yuan was furious.

A Dao technique landed on Shen Wushen, leaving him speechless.

Qi Yuan instantly became much calmer.

No wonder the old gentlemen liked covering their mouths; it felt so satisfying!

"Who says I can't cleanse the Upper Realm's atmosphere just because I can't go there? A disciple of Divine Radiance Palace was chattering incessantly, and what happened? He was still crushed by my two Golden Cores!" Qi Yuan raged at Shen Wushen.

The Martial Lord Venerable was stunned, his eyes wide. "Crushed by Golden Cores?"

He suddenly recalled that during the recent battle, a star in the sky had flickered.

So, that was Origin Venerable using Golden Cores to crush people.

"Just now?" The Ice Queen looked up at the sky, "Could it reach the Upper Realm?"

Wind Lord and Elder Seven Wounds were baffled by their conversation, having no idea what they were talking about.

"My Golden Cores can illuminate the heavens, so of course they can reach the Upper Realm," Qi Yuan explained earnestly.

The Ice Queen was speechless.

She had heard her grandfather say that illuminating the heavens was just that—illumination.

How could one grab stars and casually crush people with them?

"Give me a coordinate, and I'll strike through the internet."

Qi Yuan turned to the others, speaking slowly, "In three days, I'll go to the Dark Sky Region and personally annihilate the Dark Sun!"

At that moment, Qi Yuan announced another terrifying piece of news.

Elder Seven Wounds' face paled. "Fellow Daoist, you can't go to the Dark Sun... it's not worth it. There must be Mythic-level powerhouses within!"

He feared that Bloodrobe Sword God would annihilate the Thunder Family's Four Generals and then disappear.

So, he quickly emphasized the Dark Sun's strength.

"That's exactly why I'm going in three days," Qi Yuan said casually.

For him, the most important task at hand was to complete Shen Wushen's mission.

The Upper Realm's techniques were the most alluring to him.

The Dark Sun's techniques from the Canglan Realm came second.

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, his figure vanished.

He was off to continue Shen Wushen's mission.

...

In the Phoenix Heavenly Domain, all the Yin Deities felt rather awkward.

Firstly, Bloodrobe Sword God had effortlessly annihilated the Thunder Family's Four Generals, which was beyond their expectations. Secondly, within the Origin Spirit Sharing Society, a Divine Technique had appeared, stirring the hearts of these Yin Deities.

It was a Divine Technique, the legendary Divine Technique!

Even as Yin Deities, if they could obtain a Divine Technique to reference, they could undoubtedly enhance their strength rapidly.

A 1691 version without a single mistake!

During the Great Calamity, they would have some self-preservation power.

"Unfortunately, the Divine Technique is too expensive; we can't afford it!"

"Forget about exchanging, we don't even have Jade Slips!"

"I regret returning the Jade Slips to the Origin Spirit Sharing Society!"

The Yin Deities regretted their decision.

"Bloodrobe Sword God is about to embark on his journey to annihilate the Dark Sun. What do you all think?"

These Yin Deities now only dared to whisper among themselves, and none dared to confront Bloodrobe Sword God directly.

After all, Bloodrobe Sword God was a terrifying powerhouse capable of annihilating the Thunder Family's Four Generals. He was a ruthless killer, and they didn't dare to face him again.

"If Bloodrobe Sword God dies in the Dark Sun... that would be great," a Yin Deity said darkly.

If Bloodrobe Sword God died, they would only need to destroy the Origin Spirit Sharing Society to obtain the Divine Technique.

Many Yin Deities harbored different thoughts.

If Bloodrobe Sword God were an ordinary Yin Deity, they might have already ganged up on him and taken the Divine Technique.

Unfortunately, Bloodrobe Sword God's strength was too overwhelming.

A day passed, and Quest Dao Palace was as usual.

Shen Wushen was dejected and kept his mouth covered.

Martial Lord Venerable was contacting the various Quest Dao Palaces.

Elder Seven Wounds was in constant communication with his old friends, gathering techniques and exchanging for Divine Techniques.

(Chapter End)

At that moment, Long Can's figure reappeared, and he looked at the Elder of Seven Wounds with a complex expression in his eyes.

"Have you heard about the Phoenix Palace Gathering?"

"Hmm..." The Elder of Seven Wounds narrowed his eyes.

After the Bloodrobe Sword Deity defeated the Lei Family Four Generals, undercurrents began to stir in the Phoenix Heavenly Domain.

Suddenly, the Jasmine Great Venerable invited all the Dark Deities to gather at the Phoenix Palace.

According to the information the Elder of Seven Wounds received, these Dark Deities seemed to be preparing to unite and "force" the Bloodrobe Sword Deity to hand over his divine technique.

"They're quite bold. I'm curious to know who gave them such courage," the Elder of Seven Wounds replied truthfully.

The Dark Deities from the Origin Spirit Sharing Society, of course, would not attend the Phoenix Palace Gathering.

"I can't be bothered to go to this gathering either," Long Can said.

Being in the Phoenix Heavenly Domain, he had also received an invitation.

However, his current plan was to accumulate points with the Elder of Seven Wounds and exchange them for that divine technique.

As for the matters of the Phoenix Palace, he couldn't be bothered to get involved.

"Perhaps, the Jasmine Great Venerable will offer her Mythic Treasure and unite the other Dark Deities, paying a huge price to exchange for the divine technique," the Elder of Seven Wounds muttered, having thought of something, but said no more.

Three days passed quickly.

Qi Yuan stretched his body. The tasks Shen Wushen had given him were all completed.

After about a few hundred breaths, Shen Wushen appeared beside Qi Yuan.

"The tasks are done. Let's go back to the Upper Realm, and you can exchange a divine technique for me," Qi Yuan said eagerly.

For him, obtaining a divine technique was equivalent to condensing at least three Stellar Golden Cores.

With a divine technique to complement the insights from the Qi Yuan Scripture's Golden Core chapter, he could gain at least three Stellar Golden Cores.

In other words, he wasn't just searching for techniques; he was condensing Golden Cores.

"Why aren't you speaking? Don't you want to trade with me anymore?" Qi Yuan asked in confusion. "I even took the time to improve your technique a little."

"Hmm?"

"Oh... I forgot you can't speak."

Qi Yuan smiled awkwardly.

He immediately covered Shen Wushen's mouth for three days.

After a single Dao technique, Shen Wushen finally gained the ability to speak.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm about to return to the Upper Realm. Before I go, pass on the technique to me..." Shen Wushen had been silenced for so long, and now he couldn't stop talking.

"Shut up!" Qi Yuan quickly covered Shen Wushen's mouth again.

It was absurd that Shen Wushen was still alive.

"This Dao technique only lasts for three days. After that, it will be dispelled. The Jade Slip is here. Hurry back to the Upper Realm!" Qi Yuan didn't want to say more to Shen Wushen.

Shen Wushen took the Jade Slip, looking at Qi Yuan, wanting to speak but stopping himself. His heart was filled with sorrow.

If Qi Yuan died in the Dark Sun, it would be heartbreaking for such a connection to be severed.

However, Qi Yuan wouldn't let him speak, and Shen Wushen was powerless. He could only hope that Qi Yuan would survive this Dark Sun and that he could die after seeing him again.

Shen Wushen left.

Qi Yuan looked up at the sky, "Hmm, I should go and take a look at the Dark Sun."

Just then, the Elder of Seven Wounds transmitted his voice.

"Fellow Daoist, the Jasmine Great Venerable is hosting the Phoenix Palace Gathering today at the Phoenix Palace and has invited you to attend. She is currently waiting at the Pathfinding Palace."

Qi Yuan was slightly stunned, and a pleased expression appeared on his face, "Is she preparing to confess to me?"

"Fellow Daoist, be cautious. There might be a trap," the Elder of Seven Wounds said truthfully.

Qi Yuan shook his head, "What nonsense are you talking about? My left eyebrow has been twitching, which means good fortune is coming.

This means she's preparing to confess and give me her Mythic Treasure.

Sigh, it seems I misunderstood her. She's a good woman."

Qi Yuan sighed.

The left eye twitching meant fortune, while the right eye twitching meant disaster.

As he headed towards the Phoenix Palace, his left eye kept twitching.

If fortune was coming his way, wouldn't that be the Mythic Treasure? How could he obtain the Mythic Treasure?

It was simple. The Jasmine Great Venerable would give it to him.

Qi Yuan quickly understood the key point.

"What if the Jasmine Great Venerable confesses to me? Should I accept?" Qi Yuan asked the Elder of Seven Wounds.

He was quite conflicted.

He didn't want to accept.

But it seemed he had been urging the Jasmine Great Venerable to confess to him for a long time.

Wasn't he acting like a scoundrel, keeping the Jasmine Great Venerable hanging?

The Elder of Seven Wounds was speechless.

Just then, a charming voice sounded.

"Bloodrobe Sword Deity, if you have the time, I would like to invite you to the Phoenix Palace."

The Jasmine Great Venerable stood before the palace, wearing a golden yellow skirt. Her slender waist was adorned with hollowed-out silk, revealing her fair skin with a rosy tint around her navel, decorated with various exotic magical patterns.

Qi Yuan's figure flashed, appearing before the Jasmine Great Venerable, "Are you finally going to give me your Mythic Treasure?"
