Chapter 436

The old man looked down at the man with the purple crown, speaking indifferently, “Announce to the inner domain, anyone who holds the Jade Order, may enter the Ling Domain for a period of one month.”

“Yes, lord!”

The man in the purple crown was shaken to the core, hastily replying respectfully.

He was greatly shocked. Why would they suddenly open the Gate of Lingyu, allowing those who hold the Jade Order to enter?

What is a Jade Order?

At this moment, the man with the purple crown realized he seemed to have missed this crucial message. If he had held a Jade Order back then, would his circumstances have been different?

After issuing his decree, the old man, apparently disgusted by the thin spiritual energy in the inner domain, turned and went back to the Gate of Lingyu.

Only after the old man had entered the Gate of Lingyu did the man with the purple crown and others dare to stand and hurriedly disseminate the news around the Inner Domain via the Tianbao Pavilion.

As for what the Jade Order was, those who understood, would naturally understand, right?

…

On Canglan Island, Meng Chong was preparing for a breakthrough.

Two beautiful women of transcendent beauty appeared outside the island.

“Young Master Xu.”

Yun Miaomiao looked at Xu Yan, smiling gently in his direction.

“Miss Yun, what brings you here?”

Xu Yan was as straightforward as ever.

“Of course, there is an important matter.”

While Yun Miaomiao was talking to Xu Yan, Wushuang, the Great Grandmaster, frequently glanced toward Li Xuan, Xu Yan’s master, who looked so young and handsome.

Li Xuan raised his head, took a look at the beautifully adorned woman before him. If not for his clear state of mind, untroubled by outside distractions, he might have been affected by her beauty and charm.

“Wushuang greets senior.”

Seeing Li Xuan looking her way, Wushuang hurriedly greeted him.

“Hmm.”

Li Xuan nodded and looked away from her.

Nevertheless, Wushuang stepped closer to him. She was effusing a seductive aura at all times, and respectfully asked, “Senior, I have a question about martial arts, could you please enlighten me?”

Yun Miaomiao, who was having a conversation with Xu Yan, looked embarrassed. What on earth was her master doing?

Could it be that she actually intended to seduce Xu Yan’s master?

That was too shameful!

“What important matter has occurred?”

Xu Yan ignored Wushuang’s little movements, as someone of his master’s status, wouldn’t even bother to acknowledge her petty tricks.

Indeed, Li Xuan barely glanced at Wushuang. His gaze slightly shifted upwards, glimpsing at the snowy curves shown when she leaned forward, unintentionally or not.

“The rounded jade peaks, full of grandeur!”

He sighed silently.

His exterior was still tranquil and indifferent, not affected by her beauty.

He spoke lightly: “Seduction can be regarded as a trick of the heart. It can disturb one’s state of mind, ambition… If used properly, it can defeat enemies, but if used wrongly, it can cause one’s own downfall.”

Wushuang’s face turned red immediately, and she said awkwardly, “Thank you for your guidance, senior.”

However, she had thick skin and was extremely curious about Li Xuan, therefore, she naturally routed herself beside Li Xuan, simultaneously pouring tea for him and respectfully saying, “Senior is indeed a great man, I would be grateful for further guidance.”

Yun Miaomiao glanced at her master and chose to ignore her. Her master should know where to draw the line, right?

Gazing at Xu Yan solemnly, she announced, “The Gate of Lingyu has been opened.”

“The Gate of Lingyu has already been opened, I know that.”

Xu Yan was unimpressed.

He had already come back from a journey to Ling Domain.

“This time, it has been completely opened. Moreover, an announcement has already been sent out to the entire Inner Domain – all holders of the Jade Order can enter the Ling Domain for a duration of a month!”

Yun Miaomiao relayed gravely.

“So that’s how it is!”

Xu Yan was enlightened. He thought about Du Yuying – now that the Gate of Lingyu had opened, Du Yuying should be entering the Ling Domain, right?

“Miss Du holds the Taimiao Jade Order and the Taimiao Sect is one of the Transcendent Spirit Sects.”

Xu Yan had already gathered basic information about the major Transcendent Spirit Sects during his time in the Ling Domain.

The Taimiao Sect was one of them.

Du Yuying held the Taimiao Jade Order, and possessed the bloodline of the Celestials. This bloodline came from the powerhouses of the Taimiao Sect. She wouldn’t be of a low status once she entered the Ling Domain.

“Miss Yun, do you want the Jade Order?”

Xu Yan asked.

Yun Miaomiao had helped him refine his state of mind, and since he had a few Jade Orders, if Yun Miaomiao needed one, he was willing to give her one, in order to return the favour of her previous assistance.

“I have a Jade Order.”

Yun Miaomiao shook her head, her face filled with anticipation, “Young Master Xu, are you planning to enter Ling Domain? How about entering the Ling Domain with me?”

Just as Xu Yan was about to politely refuse, he suddenly looked up toward the outside of the island where two beautiful figures were approaching.

Du Yuying and Cui’er.

“Young Master Xu!”

Du Yuying greeted him with a beaming smile.

“Young Master Xu!”

Upon seeing Xu Yan, Cui’er blushed and greeted sweetly.

Yun Miaomiao’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked at Du Yuying, a hint of surprise written across her face.

It had been a while since they had last seen each other; Du Yuying had changed a lot, she now appeared heroic and stunningly beautiful.

“Miss Du, are you here for the Gate of Lingyu as well?”

Yun Miaomiao squinted as she asked.

“And what about Miss Yun herself?”

The corners of Du Yuying’s lips lifted slightly into a smile.

Xu Yan observed the two women and seemed to be deep in thought before finally speaking: “Both ladies plan to enter the Ling Domain. This place adheres strictly to a hierarchical system, and we are all from the Inner Domain. If possible, we should help each other so as to establish a strong foothold in the Ling Domain.”

Although both women held a Jade Command, they were, after all, people from the Inner Domain.

Even if the Jade Command in the hand of Du Yuying was the Supreme Jade Command, it might not necessarily save her from discrimination within the Taimiao Sect, despite her identity as a member of the Transcendent Spirit Sect.

“Young Master Xu is right!”

Du Yuying’s words conveyed her agreement.

Yun Miaomiao seemed a bit taken aback. As if she had realized something, she revealed a smile, “Miaomiao will listen to Young Master Xu!”

Cui’er glared at Yun Miaomiao, sighing with a huff.

Li Xuan was giving some advice to Wushuang. Occasionally, he threw Xu Yan and the two women a curious glance. He inwardly praised, his disciple was indeed formidable.

“Senior, the Gate of Lingyu is opening soon, those holding a Jade Command can enter. I wonder what Senior thinks of this?”

Wushuang asked curiously.

“Whether it’s the Inner Domain or Ling Domain, they are but corners of the world, I don’t hold any particular views.”

Li Xuan replied indifferently.

Wushuang was taken aback. To senior Li Xuan, the Inner Domain and the Ling Domain were just insignificant corners of the world. Within his eyes, the Ling Domain was probably nothing more than a remote place, wasn’t it?

The news that the Gate of Lingyu would open to those who possessed a Jade Command had spread all over the Dahua lands. Many major forces were speculating on what the Jade Command could be.

Some powers were doing everything possible to find the Jade Command and dig up information related to it.

As for those who already possessed the Jade Command, they kept their silence.

In the Wilderness Martial Arts Academy, Bai Yun Kong was frowning.

“By my calculations, it shouldn’t be time yet.”

“Has it begun earlier? Does our academy still have Jade Commands?”

Pang Yu asked.

Bai Yun Kong held out his hand, and three Jade Commands appeared.

“Should we give these to Xu Yan and Meng Chong, and then choose one more person?”

Pang Yu pondered before he asked.

“Xu Yan and Meng Chong should not need them.”

Bai Yun Kong let out a sigh, put away the Jade Commands and said, “The Seven-star Study Palace is now a thing of the past, these Jade Commands are no longer useful.”

“Moreover, the situation in the Ling Domain remains uncertain.”

Pang Yu fell silent.

Whether the force connecting the Seven-star Study Palace and Ling Domain still existed, and what had happened to the palace’s ancestors, was all still unknown.

The last time someone had visited, they revealed that the force affiliated with the Study Palace in the Ling Domain hadn’t been doing well.

“Xu Yan has gone to the Ling Domain. If he returns, he might be able to tell us whether the Ling Domain’s power, which is affiliated with the academy, still exists.”

Bai Yun Kong said heavily.

“Meng Chong should be going to the Ling Domain, ask him.”

Pang Yu suggested.

“Indeed!”

Bai Yun Kong nodded and the two set off for Canglan Island.

In the northern wilderness, martial artists were starting to appear, all of them headed for the Gate of Lingyu.

Although they didn’t have Jade Commands, it was a rare opportunity to visit the Ling Domain.

None of them have switched to studying the Wilderness Martial Arts before. Now they were contemplating: Does the Wilderness Martial Arts truly hold a brighter future?

Even if the Wilderness Martial Arts were stronger, wouldn’t it be even better if they could practice in the Ling Domain?

“Do you have a Jade Command?”

Inside the Gate of Lingyu stood two guards who, seeing the approaching martial artists, asked in a deep voice.

“We…we don’t.”

“So without the Jade Command, we aren’t allowed to go in?”

The crowd of martial artists all spoke up, drawing courage from their numbers.

“Those without Jade Commands shall not enter!”

Boom!

The aura of the Heavenly Martial Artist exploded, directly intimidating the crowd of martial artists.

“Disperse! If you gather to cause trouble again, you shall be killed without mercy!”

One of the guards declared coldly.

In that moment, the faces of the martial artists wanting to enter the Ling Domain turned pale. They felt their consciousness was being crushed by a giant mountain, causing their bodies to stiffen.

Was this the might of a Heavenly Martial Artist?

“The Gate of Lingyu is open. I do not wish to commit a massacre, but if you refuse to cooperate, do not blame me for being ruthless!”

One of the guards said coldly.
