"After listening to you, I'm even more interested in meeting those three little fellows." The green-clad woman's eyes brightened in excitement when she heard the red-clad woman's words.
"Then, let's not waste any time. Let's go!" The red-clad woman said.
"Let's go!" The green-clad woman said before her body that was seated on the main seat in the great hall vanished without a trace.
In the next moment, the red-clad woman disappeared as well.
Silence descended on the great hall instantly.
...
At this moment, Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White who were in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone were unaware of the impending danger. They did not know that if they were discovered by a Supervisory Envoy of the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, they might lose their cultivation bases, if not die! Naturally, they were also unaware that someone had been sent to take them away as well. As danger crept closer to them, they were only thinking about meeting Duan Ling Tian and Ke'er.
…
Every Devata Realm had a Beyond Heaven Pavilion, and there were 81 Beyond Heaven Pavilions since there were 81 Devata Realms.
Beyond Heaven Pavilions were transfer stations between a Devata Realm and various Beyond Heaven Secret Zones. Great Overarching Golden Celestials had to register here if they wanted to go to a Beyond Heaven Secret Zone to leave their inheritances behind. After registering, they would be able to enter a Beyond Heaven Secret Zone through a Transporting Formation in the Beyond Heaven Pavilion. According to the rules, when they leave their inheritances in a Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, they also had to leave heaven-rank and earth-rank treasure vaults in the secret zone.
Similar to Beyond Heaven Secret Zones, Beyond Heaven Pavilions were usually managed by Heaven Emperors' people. Since there were many people involved in managing a Beyond Heaven Pavilion, it was only natural that there were good and wicked people.
Some of the unsavory characters would even sell information from Beyond Heaven Secret Zones for their personal gains. For example, when someone from the Beyond Heaven Pavilion discovered Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White had violated the rules of Beyond Heaven Secret Zones, that person was supposed to notify a Supervisory Envoy to mete out punishment. However, that person did not notify a Supervisory Envoy, instead, he informed the force that owned the inheritance that the three little fellows received. Incidents like this were very common, and those informers would be greatly rewarded from the various forces.
...
In an enclosed room, a middle-aged man who seemed to be dressed in some kind of uniform pointed at two Mirror Images that showed three people. His uniform had the words, 'Beyond Heaven Pavilion', embroidered across his chest. He said deferentially to a red-clad woman, "Lord Meng, it's these three people!"
In one of the Mirror Images, a golden-clad little girl could be seen rushing to an unknown location. On the other Mirror Image, a black-clad little boy and a white-clad little girl could be seen in a human-rank treasure vault, easily passing the challenges in there.
The middle-aged man continued to say, "I accidentally discovered the black-clad little boy and the white-clad little girl. I realized when they attacked, both of them have a crescent Blood Moon Mark between their brows. That's how I know they're from the Blood Moon Ridge Clan. Since I discovered both of them, I decided to do a check on those people in that Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, and that's how I found the golden-clad little girl. Similarly, when she attacked, a Blood Moon Mark appeared between her brows as well."
The red-clad woman nodded her head, clearly satisfied with the middle-aged man's actions. "You've done well… After I retrieve them, I'll send you a token of appreciation from the Blood Moon Ridge."
"Thank you, Lord Meng." The middle-aged man smiled so wide that his eyes almost seemed close. He had given Blood Moon Ridge this piece of information in exchange for the token of appreciation after all.
At this moment, the green-clad woman who had remained silent suddenly spoke up as she watched the Mirror Images. "They're from the dragon clan?"
One of the Mirror Images, showed the black-clad little boy and white-clad little girl reverting to Eight-clawed Divine Dragons, which were also their true forms.
The green-clad woman looked at the red-clad woman and said decisively, "Meng Yao… I want both of them!"
"Elder sister, it's not a big deal if you want them. However, it's better if you get the Noble Patriarch to inform our master about it." The red-clad woman did not seem surprised by the green-clad woman's demand. She had a forced smile on her face as she continued to say, "Otherwise, if my superior makes an inquiry, it'll be difficult for me to explain myself."
"Alright." The green-clad woman nodded as she turned her eyes back to the two Eight-clawed Divine Dragons in the Mirror Image.
The middle-aged man who was standing at the side could not help but ask the red-clad woman curiously, "Lord Meng, may I know who this person is?"
"She's my elder sister, Ji Xiang," the red-clad woman replied.
"Ji Xiang?" The middle-aged man furrowed his brows. The name seemed familiar but he could not recall where or when he had heard it.
"My elder sister is from the dragon clan," the red-clad woman said.
"Dragon clan?" The middle-aged man suddenly jolted when he heard the red-clad woman's words. He turned to look at the green-clad woman and asked in a trembling voice, "I-is she Elder Ji Xiang, the youngest elder in the dragon clan in our Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven?"
"Yes," the red-clad woman replied with a nod.
"It's an honor to meet you, Elder Ji Xiang!" The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Please forgive me for being rude and not knowing who you are earlier. Please forgive my ignorance!"
Although the current Heaven Emperor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven was not from the dragon clan, the force of the dragon clan was only second to the force under the Heaven Emperor. Even a strong force like Blood Moon Ridge was still inferior to the dragon clan.
The green-clad woman, Ji Xiang, the youngest elder in the dragon clan in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven, did not deign to reply to the middle-aged man. She glanced at him indifferently and said, "Activate the Transporting Formation that leads to that Beyond Heaven Secret Zone!"
"Yes, yes..." The middle-aged man, naturally, did not dare to delay when he heard Ji Xiang's words. He quickly activated the Transporting Formation just as Ji Xiang had ordered. How could he not be afraid? Although this Beyond Heaven Pavilion belonged to the Heaven Emperor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven, the middle-aged man knew very well that the Heaven Emperor would not care even if thousands of people like him were killed by Ji Xiang.
Swoosh!
As soon as the Transporting Formation was activated, Ji Xiang disappeared into it in just a flash. The red-clad woman followed closely behind.
Just like this, the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone gained two newcomers; Elder Ji Xiang from the dragon clan and Meng Yao from the Blood Moon Ridge.
As soon as Ji Xiang arrived in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, she extended her Divine Consciousness that encompassed a large area of the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. Based on this, one could see how strong Ji Xiang, the youngest elder in the dragon clan in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven, was.
"Hm?" Ji Xiang was just about to withdraw her Divine Consciousness when she discovered her two targets were not in range when she suddenly sensed something. "This is..."
Through her Divine Consciousness, Ji Xiang watched as a Celestial Sword shot out of the hand of a purple-clad young man as more than five sword rays followed closely behind. When the sword rays merged with the sword, it boosted the power of the sword immediately. It did not take long before the purple-clad young man killed a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!
Ji Xiang muttered to herself, "This Sword Wielding Art looks like..." She closed her eyes as scenes from many years ago appeared in her mind.
At that time, a genius Sword Celestial came to the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven to challenge the patriarch of the dragon clan. That battle was truly shocking.
Ji Xiang was only an ordinary disciple in the dragon clan at that time. However, since her parents were guardians of the dragon clan, she had a chance to watch the battle. During that battle, the patriarch whom they revered like a God, was defeated by the genius Sword Celestial. She had found it difficult to accept the outcome of the battle at that time.
Ji Xiang could clearly remember what the patriarch had told that man after his defeat. "I accept my loss. Based on your strength, if you take another step forward, it won't be difficult for you to challenge a Heaven Emperor and win! At that time, you'll become a Heaven Emperor!"
After a while, there was news from the Solitary Destructive Heaven, one of the 81 Devata Realms. Someone had challenged the Heaven Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven and killed the Heaven Emperor! And thus, the man who killed the Heaven Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven became the new Heaven Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven!
Ji Xiang remembered being shocked when she learned that the new Heaven Emperor of Solitary Destructive Heaven was the genius Sword Celestial who had defeated the dragon clan's patriarch. She did not expect the patriarch's words to come true!
