Chapter 1265: Chapter 325: He Is Going to Ancient Nine Provinces

The Feng Gu Divine Emperor, esteemed as a God Emperor, stands above all.

Yet, even he shows a hint of caution when mentioning the Eight Pillar Immortals.

"The Eight Pillar Immortals? Son-in-law is inexperienced, I humbly request enlightenment, Father God."

Xi Jiuye’s heart stirred, realizing that what the Feng Gu Divine Emperor was about to speak of likely pertained to the survival of the Northern Territory.

Regarding Alchemists, Xi Jiuye had Artifact Refining and Alchemy Alchemists under him, but the highest level he could access was the Solid Rank Fang Venerate, like the former Fang Venerate Lady Gu.

Xi Jiuye recalled that it was the Feng Gu Divine Emperor and Lan Chuchu’s father and daughter who introduced Lady Gu to him.

If not for Lady Gu, perhaps he wouldn’t have...

Xi Jiuye’s heart sank, forcing himself not to dwell on the affairs of centuries past; what he should be focusing on now is the matter of the Northern Territory.

Ye Lingguang has been overly oppressive, his appearance erasing the rare shred of guilt Xi Jiuye held towards Ye Lingyue.

The people of the Eight Desolates Divine Realm claimed that without Ye Lingyue, there would be no present Northern Territory. Yet Xi Jiuye wanted to prove that no one could replace him; he was the true Supreme of the Northern Territory.

Taking advantage of the mood from the drinking, the Feng Gu Divine Emperor began to narrate.

In Ancient Times, there was a legend about the origin of the Three Realms, molded by a creator. Some claimed the creator was not a single individual but an Ancient Divine Clan, whose members refined themselves into the heavens and the earth and into all living things.

For unknown reasons, the Ancient Divine Clan eventually split into the ancestors of humans, gods, demons, and fiends.

These ancestors, upon their passing, documented their insights from creation.

These insights were eventually carved into the Ancient Inscriptions, preserved by the descendants of various clans, yet with time and war, these historical records were gradually lost. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Nevertheless, the legend of the cauldrons refining all things continued to echo across the Three Realms.

"Some talented Alchemists, by chance, acquired those records and, emulating the ancestors, created the Creation Cauldrons. Those in possession of the Creation Cauldrons earned remarkable status in the Divine Realm, hailed as the Eight Pillar Immortals. These Pillar Immortals possessed the ability to mend the heavens and rectify the earth. Their Creation Cauldrons could refine vast, fertile Divine Realms."

With a stroke on his clean-shaven chin, the Feng Gu Divine Emperor concluded.

Although he was a God Emperor, ruling millions of Main Gods and thousands of Divine Masters, in comparison with the Eight Pillar Immortals, it was uncertain how much benefit he would gain.

Fortunately, most of the Eight Pillar Immortals abstain from participating in Divine Realm affairs, living beyond the Three Realms in their own universe.

"So it seems, if a son-in-law desires a prosperous Divine Realm, one only needs to find a Pillar Immortal?"

Xi Jiuye couldn’t help but be captivated.

The ability to refine worlds was tempting to anyone who heard it.

The Northern Territory, though vast, was too frigid a region to become the strongest in the Divine Realm.

"In theory, yes. However, my dear son-in-law, you may have oversimplified the matter. The Eight Pillar Immortals are prideful and aloof. Even if approached by the Four Divine Emperors, their cooperation is uncertain. Moreover, you’re merely a Divine Master. However, I recently heard that in the borderlands between the Human Realm and the Divine Realm, in a place called the Ancient Nine Provinces, there was nearly a Pillar Immortal. Yet tragically, that Fang Immortal was imprisoned due to his lover at the last moment, and it remains a great regret of the Divine Realm.

The Feng Gu Divine Emperor had only heard of it.

The Eight Pillar Immortals were selected from among the Fang Immortals of the Divine Realm.

In the beginning, Hong Meng Fang Immortal had the greatest chance of becoming one of the Eight Great Immortals but withdrew at the last moment, leading to the current Eight Pillar Immortals.

The selection of a Fang Immortal was not something a God Emperor could interfere with, so the true reason for Hong Meng Fang Immortal’s withdrawal remains unknown to this day.

"Father God, since Hong Meng Fang Immortal did not become one of the Eight Great Immortals, why mention him?"

Xi Jiuye had never heard of Hong Meng Fang Immortal.

"You would not understand. Even among the Eight Great Immortals, Hong Meng Fang Immortal’s power would rank in the top three. If not for unforeseen events, he would undoubtedly be one of the Eight Great Immortals. His Treasure Tripod, a legendary creation cauldron with unique powers, shattered when he was imprisoned. Yet, possessing a spirit, it awaits the possibility of restoration, even in its fragmented state."

The matter of Hong Meng Fang Immortal’s Treasure Tripod was known only to a select few Divine Realm Supremes and Eight Pillar Immortals. If disclosed, it might well thrust the entire Divine Realm into chaos.

Not to mention the countless Main Gods without territories; even a Divine Sovereign Level existence would struggle to resist the allure of a cauldron that could refine a Divine Realm.

Xi Jiuye, having heard, understood the Feng Gu Divine Emperor’s intent.

"Thank you, Father God, for your guidance. Your son-in-law will set out for the Ancient Nine Provinces immediately."

This news from the Feng Gu Divine Emperor came like a timely rain to Xi Jiuye.

If the cauldron left behind by Hong Meng Fang Immortal could be found, the problem of the Northern Territory would be resolved effortlessly.

"Don’t be in such a rush. Even if you find the cauldron left by Hong Meng Fang Immortal, that’s not enough. You must also find the inheritor of the cauldron’s legacy; only with their help can you refine an endless Divine Realm. Furthermore, the disparity between the Human and Divine Realms is vast; there are age-old rules in the Divine Realm. Its gods are forbidden from meddling in the affairs of the Human Realm. Your descent to the Human Realm must conceal your Divine Power, and you must not reveal anything regarding Hong Meng Fang Immortal,"

the Feng Gu Divine Emperor advised.

"Understood, Father God. Thank you for your counsel."

Xi Jiuye nodded.

"As for Lan’er, you need not worry. She understands the bigger picture. Since she’s pregnant, it’s inconvenient for her to accompany you to the Human Realm. I’ve sent Main God Lan Cang to care for her. He and Lan’er grew up together, like brother and sister, and with his care, she will be fine. Go with peace of mind."

Upon hearing the name Main God Lan Cang, Xi Jiuye slightly furrowed his brow.

He had no favorable impression of Lan Cang, and Lan Chuchu rarely mentioned her elder brother.

It was remembered that his reputation in the Divine Realm was less than sterling; he had previously troubled the Feng Gu Divine Emperor due to misconduct towards a Goddess.

However, being Lan Chuchu’s brother, it should not pose any concern. With gratitude, Xi Jiuye departed swiftly with his Thirteen Riders for the Ancient Nine Provinces.

Yet Xi Jiuye had no inkling that due to a careless mistake, both he and the Northern Territory would be ensnared in endless anguish.

He could not anticipate encountering the one person he longed to see yet feared in the Ancient Nine Provinces.
