Chapter 721: Spiritual Relationship!

After Yun Xiao gave the word, Divine Dawn, the Great Mother, and Pale Revenant finally released their grips on the White Emperor.

Before them lay the shattered, blood-streaked form of the White Emperor—his body seemed to have reached its demise, decaying and shriveling into nothingness. Bones and flesh withered away, turning into white dust.

Yun Xiao didn’t even have time to grasp the marrow from his sword bones.

This showed just how deeply aged he truly was.

"Is he dead?" Divine Dawn asked, her voice trembling slightly as she gazed at the crumbling corpse with complex eyes.

"Not entirely." Yun Xiao extended his hand, pulling the lingering spirit from within the remnants of the White Emperor. It was indeed him. Slowly lifting his head, his dim gaze met Yun Xiao and Divine Dawn. Free from the control of the Yaksha Ancestor, his spirit appeared drained, limp as a noodle.

As the White Emperor recognized the two young figures before him, his face twitched, as if he were crying. Spirits seldom wept, but his was a portrait of sorrow.

"Want to say something?" Divine Dawn asked.

"The four grand celestial treasures can control the Five Infernos Star Barrier. I feel... the grand celestial formation has returned..." the White Emperor said, his voice quivering.

"Why speak these words? Do you seek repentance? To entrust us with guarding the Great Dao Celestial Realm while you rest in peace?" Divine Dawn's voice was icy.

"I..." The White Emperor stared at her, speechless.

"Your theatrically timed repentance is but an insult to those you've slain. I suggest you cease, for you’ve been vile enough. Spare us further disgust at the end," Divine Dawn said, her voice fiery with scorn.

"Shen Xi, my daughter..." The White Emperor's spirit dimmed completely.

Shaking her head, Divine Dawn no longer wished to hear that name from his lips. She glanced at Yun Xiao and said, "Don't let him die too easily."

With that, she moved toward the four grand celestial treasures. As she turned, her eyes held nothing but resolve.

Now, only Yun Xiao and the White Emperor remained.

"Defeat Lu Fan. Make his death more miserable than mine," the White Emperor said.

"Sure, I’ve already thought of how to deal with him. When the time comes, I'll make you two despicable spirits inseparably linked," Yun Xiao replied coldly.

Disinterested in further viewing, he fetched a jade bottle and trapped the White Emperor’s lingering spirit within.

After sealing the bottle, he shook it slightly!

In that moment, the fervent eyes of millions of Immortals were fixed upon that jade vessel.

"He's been executed, what are you hesitant about? Must celebrations be so restrained?" Yun Xiao faced the masses and let out a laugh.

This declaration echoed across the heavens, initially met with a deathly silence. But then, at a certain moment, tears burst forth from everyone's eyes!

It wasn't that they were reserved; they feared the tyrant, the White Emperor, terrified that he might somehow still turn the tides of war through some connection with the Immortal Asylum.

For ordinary Immortals, accepting the White Emperor’s defeat and the capture of his spirit was no easy task.

To them, the White Emperor was like the high sun in the sky—how could he fall so easily?

Now, not only had he fallen, but he was also slain, leaving no corpse intact, by two young ones, including his own daughter!

After enduring oppression and suffocation, the confirmation of this astonishing good news was liberating.

"With the White Emperor dead, Lu Fan will surely stir up trouble. The decisive battle hasn’t ended; in fact, it's just begun," Yun Xiao declared.

The two exchanged a look, understanding each other well.

"Next, you take command and soothe the people, while I'll devote myself to tracking down Lu Fan," Yun Xiao stated.

"Agreed."

The division of tasks and their cooperation remained as seamless and natural as ever.

Even now, the Heavenly Palace, indeed the entire Great Dao Celestial Realm, was still in turmoil. But Yun Xiao believed she would handle it well!

"I need to take some time to absorb the gains from this battle," Yun Xiao said. He longed to wander freely with her, but the pressures of time were too pressing.

"Wait."

As Yun Xiao turned to leave, Divine Dawn called out to him.

"What is it?" Yun Xiao asked.

Divine Dawn clasped her hands, her head lowered, cheeks tinted with a blush. "It's... Lian Xi wanted me to tell you, she... she forgives you!"

Yun Xiao couldn't help but laugh softly. "You are Lian Xi."

"I am not, hmph." Divine Dawn pursed her lips, showing her small fangs, still pretending to glare fiercely at Yun Xiao.

"If forgiveness is in the air, how about a hug?" Yun Xiao naturally extended his arms, even under the watchful eyes of all.

"Wait." Divine Dawn lifted the Seal of Heaven, pressing it against Yun Xiao’s chest, her eyebrows archly raised. "Do you really like me?"

Her stance, and the sense of strangeness and caution between them, made it clear she was no longer Lian Xi.

She was now the Seventh Princess of the Celestial Court, who had just furiously pummeled her father to death.

"I do," Yun Xiao said simply.

"Alright." Although Divine Dawn said this, she didn’t lower the seal. Biting her lip, she told Yun Xiao, "Let's have a spiritual relationship then!"

"What's a spiritual relationship?" Yun Xiao couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"It means, don't ever think about touching me!" Divine Dawn declared seriously.

Her expression told Yun Xiao that their personalities were slowly merging. While they might display three different traits, their memories were blending.

This meant they both remembered the third time, which, for them, was not a good thing.

"Do we have to be so strict? I'll figure something out," Yun Xiao said.

Truth be told, Divine Dawn was the most beautiful and flawless, and Yun Xiao had been indulging a bit too much lately, truly craving her exquisite charm.

"No need to bother. It’s not necessary." Divine Dawn looked at him with a touch of coldness. "If you need to satisfy such base desires, go find your Cao Shuo, not me."

"..." Yun Xiao was speechless. Who in the world spread that rumor!
