The only one who followed him was a hellish demon dog that looked extremely ferocious and bloodthirsty. Its body was pitch black, with only four feet stepping on the snow-colored thunder, like a cloud covering the snow, the hair full of demonic power was mixed with golden spells, it was mighty and tall, almost shoulder to shoulder with the ancient beasts.
The master and servant were both terrifying.
In a few years, he had completely gained a foothold in the Demon Realm and became the only Demon Venerable in the Three Realms.
About this newly ascended Demon Venerable, whether it was the human race or the demon race, even the god race had his legend.
It was rumored that he was not a pure-blooded demon, but a human-demon hybrid.
There were also rumors that before he unified the demon clans, he was a very famous cultivator.
There were even rumors that when he was in the human world.
He actually married a mortal as his Dao companion.
That mortal was born ordinary, and his cultivation was also ordinary.
It was unknown how he caught the eye of the Demon Venerable. When he was in the human world, he regarded him as his precious treasure, and his temperament was also raised to be arrogant and willful by him. Even the three-year-old children in Chang’an had heard of the Demon Venerable’s domineering reputation for this mortal Dao companion.
Some people say that the Demon Venerable’s years of fighting in the south and the north were to actually look for the soul of the mortal.
He went up to the blue sky and down to the underworld, turned over countless treasures, and finally saw the forbidden technique of resurrection in an ancient scroll.
Of course, rumors were just rumors.
Two hundred years have passed, and no matter how much love and hatred, grievances and disputes, they have become thin pages of wild history legends with the passage of time.
Nowadays, the most important, busiest, and most watched event in the Three Realms.
That is, His Highness the Crown Prince of White jade Capital who has been in seclusion for two hundred years is about to come out!
Speaking of His Highness the Crown Prince, the rumors in the Three Realms are no less than that of the Demon Venerable.
Two hundred years ago, for some unknown reason, the Emperor suddenly announced that the little highness was going into seclusion.
And, no immortals were allowed to visit.
“Why aren’t people allowed to visit, turtle grandpa!”
The speaker was a dragon girl who had just turned a hundred years old today, the youngest daughter of the East Sea Water Monarch.
Next to her was a huge divine turtle, who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
At this moment, the divine turtle and the dragon girl were on their way to the White Jade Capital, to congratulate the crown prince on coming out from seclusion, on the orders of the East Sea Water Monarch.
The dragon girl was naive and lively, “Are there many immortals who want to visit this His Highness the Crown Prince?”
The divine turtle laughed, “Little princess doesn’t know, there are really quite a few immortals who want to visit this crown prince. It is rumored that the crown prince’s beauty is the first in the Three Realms, and he was raised by the Emperor like a pearl in the Qifeng Palace, and only few people have seen the crown prince’s appearance.”
The dragon girl was full of longing, “Is it so good-looking? Turtle grandpa, even you haven’t seen the crown prince?”
The divine turtle seemed to be lost in memory, slowly saying, “This old man also saw the crown prince at a glance at your eldest sister’s wedding. It was just a very, very distant look, and I felt that the crown prince was as brilliant as the sun and the moon, and his beauty was stunning. This old man has lived for tens of thousands of years, and apart from the Emperor, he has never seen such a stunning appearance, it really makes people…”
It really makes people forget to breathe for a moment.
The divine turtle laughed heartily, changing the topic, “But this time the Crown Prince is coming out of seclusion, we are fortunate to attend the banquet at Qifeng Palace, and we might even see that ancient artifact, the Divine Soul Lamp.”
Compared to the ancient artifact, the Divine Soul Lamp, the dragon girl was obviously more interested in the appearance of the Crown Prince.
The turtle and the girl quickly arrived at the heavenly palace gate of the White Jade Capital. After the divine servants checked the invitation, they sent the guests to Lingxiao Palace.
When the dragon girl stepped into the White Jade Capital, she suddenly felt her skirt flutter for a moment without wind.
It was as if someone had walked past her with big strides, she curiously looked around.
“Grandpa Turtle, did you feel someone walking past us?”
“Little princess, you might be mistaken. The defense of White Jade Capital is strict, who can enter the Heavenly Realm without an invitation, without the gods knowing or the ghosts noticing?”
The dragon girl nodded, thinking of the breeze just now.
The wind brought a faint woody cold fragrance, like the scent of a wutong tree.
It was probably her imagination.
After the dragon girl left, the place where she had just stood suddenly revealed the figure of a man.
This man was tall and handsome, his skin was pale but exuded a strange coldness. His face had a pair of peach blossom eyes that were clear and sparkling, but the bottom of his eyes was deep black, his nose was high, and his lips were thin and sharp. It was a face that was handsome to the extreme.
He was wearing a dark, thin, flowing robe, with a round collar and buttons up to the top of his neck. His long hair was half tied up with a simple wooden hairpin, and he only had a piece of hibiscus jade around his waist.
Although he was dressed cleanly and casually, it was not difficult to see that he was dressed in the style of a demon clan. Not to mention the temperament he had cultivated from being in a high position for many years, just the pressure brought by his cultivation all over his body was enough to make people terrified.
This man was none other than the current Demon Venerable of the Chaotic Sea Demon Realm, Qi Zhuoyu.
The words of the dragon girl just now were still echoing in his ears.
Qi Zhuoyu looked up, his eyes emotionless as they fell in the distance.
For two hundred years, he had fought in countless places in the south and the north, searching for the fragments of the Divine Soul Lamp in heaven and earth.
Unexpectedly, this Divine Soul Lamp turned out to be the natal lamp of the Crown Prince Feng Xuan of the Ninth Heaven.
It was truly a case of finding something without looking for it, and getting it without any effort.
It was a waste of his time to look for it. If he had known that the lamp was in the White Jade Capital, he would have killed his way into the Heavenly Realm a hundred years ago.
Qi Zhuoyu followed the dragon girl’s words and strode towards Qifeng Palace.
He, a big demon of the demons, was walking boldly in the White Jade Capital, and none of the divine servants passing by noticed him.
Before long, Qi Zhuoyu was standing outside Qifeng Palace.
Compared to the bustling banquet at Lingxiao Palace at the moment, Qifeng Palace seemed a bit cold.
He was about to take a step forward when he found himself blocked by a barrier.
And it was not an ordinary barrier, if it was not Qi Zhuoyu who had bumped into the barrier just now, if it was someone else, they would probably have been beaten to death by now.
Setting up such a strong barrier at the entrance of Qifeng Palace.
Was the Crown Prince of the Ninth Heaven in seclusion or healing inside?
But for Qi Zhuoyu, who was born to be a troublemaker, no matter how powerful the barrier was, it was useless.
He directly performed a hand-tearing barrier on the spot, and after tearing it, he cleverly repaired it, creating an illusion that no one had ever come in.
Inside Qifeng Palace was empty, it didn’t look like anyone had lived there in a hundred years.
Qi Zhuoyu kept walking deeper into the palace, the deeper he went, the more complex the formations and barriers of Qifeng Palace became, until in the end it almost became a terrifying degree of a killing formation if one took a wrong step.
Qi Zhuoyu couldn’t help but frown, he was also a bit confused.
Was Qifeng Palace uninhabited, setting up so many killing formations, one wrong step and one’s soul would scatter.
Rather than saying it was for people to live in, it was more like it was guarding something, that’s why it needed so many continuous killing formations to prevent outsiders from invading.
And Qi Zhuoyu’s guess was not wrong.
After he passed through all the killing formations, the illusion brought by the barrier suddenly dissipated in front of him.
What appeared in front of him was a towering wutong tree that he had never seen before.
The divine tree was lush and spread its branches towards all sides, the leaves were opened in clusters, and the spiritual energy was abundant.
All the divine power on the divine tree transformed into strands of spiritual mist, slowly gathering towards a soul lamp floating in mid-air under the divine tree.
The moment he saw the Divine Soul Lamp, Qi Zhuoyu’s eyes, which had been silent for two hundred years, flickered for a moment.
Then, his gaze shifted downward.
Under the Divine Soul Lamp, there was actually a person.
This person was half-leaning against the trunk of the wutong tree, his eyes closed in tranquility, as if he had been asleep for many years.
He was enough to be breathtaking even with eyes closed, it was unknown what stunning beauty it would be when he opened his eyes.
But all of Qi Zhuoyu’s gaze fell on that Divine Soul Lamp.
He strode forward, showing a satisfied expression, and without any hesitation, he reached out and grabbed the Divine Soul Lamp.
And at the same time he grabbed the Divine Soul Lamp.
The beauty who had been sleeping under the tree for a hundred years suddenly opened her eyes at this moment.
I’m holding my breath in suspense, omg.
