Chapter 734: Chapter 733: Mysterious Yellow Skin Book, God Emperor Bai Qian

Mu Ran looked at Han Youran, who was full of charming smiles, and Ye Piaoran let out a light sigh.

"I’ve already been through reincarnation, and I’m not the Ye Piaoran you know."

Han Youran was momentarily stunned by these words, as she sized her up and down with a laugh, saying in a half-joking manner.

"Since you believe and say so, Sister Piaoran, I won’t say more."

After saying this, she added with a suggestive tone.

"Regardless of the type of cultivation, it’s all about personal fate. Each person’s path is different, I hope Sister Piaoran you can find your own way in this life."

Ye Piaoran didn’t speak, only sneered disdainfully.

Li Jing, on the side, watched the two exchanging words and didn’t feel anything particularly unusual.

It was clear that Han Youran and Ye Piaoran were the leading figures of their generation. It was quite normal for them to have some stories between them. What slightly concerned Li Jing was the fact that Ye Piaoran was expelled from Yaochi due to someone’s trap.

However, pondering about this was meaningless.

Being outstanding attracts envy; Ye Piaoran, as the talented Saintess of Yaochi of the past, was already considered the designated next Yaochi Divine Emperor in that remote era.

However, a top faction like Yaochi wouldn’t place all their hopes on one person alone.

Internal competitions were inevitable.

Ye Piaoran surely had a lot of competitors.

Being the best among them, she was the primary target of all competitors, whether it was in open or hidden contests.

Her being framed and dethroned couldn’t be called unfair.

Possessing brilliance invites envy.

So, who cared about her glory back then?

Who framed her wasn’t important.

The important thing was that she couldn’t withstand it and became a failure.

Yaochi would not care about a failure, no matter the potential they possess.

Failure meant elimination.

Going deeper, Yaochi gave Ye Piaoran hope for a return, essentially exploiting her desire to return to Yaochi, after the incident.

The worth of a failed saintess wasn’t great.

At most, she could probably be "useful" in the upcoming grand scheme of the immortal realm.

Without giving it too much thought, Li Jing spoke out.

"So, Miss Youran, why were you waiting for me here? Given your noble status, I doubt you were instructed by the Demon Taoist Holy Emperor to be my ’send-off’."

Confronted with the question, Han Youran responded with a charming smile.

"Heaven Respect Jiu, I was ordered by my teacher to follow you temporarily in the hope that I could get some experience."

?

Li Jing paused and raised a question mark.

Ye Piaoran next to him also frowned.

This lady...

How thick is her face?

Or does the Demon Taoist Holy Emperor think his is bigger?

Temporary follow to get some experience?

Would Li Jing agree to this?

Seeing the strange looks from them, Han Youran’s smile remained unchanged as she respectfully placed her hands together.

"My teacher said, since Heaven Respect Jiu has been accepted into the true Demon Heart Questioning method, he can be regarded as my senior in the Demon Dao. And since you are a man of great deeds, following you will surely benefit my future cultivation."

With that, she continued.

"My teacher knew that you wouldn’t agree to take me, a junior, along for nothing, so he asked me to bring some sincerity on this journey."

As she spoke, Han Youran pulled out an antique-looking yellow book.

"This object was obtained by accident by my predecessor of the Demon Taoist. It is a mysterious yellow parchment written in ancient text that is difficult to interpret, containing complex contents. It is said that the Eight ’Little Worlds’ in the ’Nine Heavy Heavens’ were created during the ancient times by a group of powerful beings from different factions of the Nine Heavy Heavens. They interpreted this yellow parchment, and with collective effort, spent hundreds of millions of years to create them all. The unique methods for dealing with the Divine Objects found in each ’Little World’ are also derived from this mysterious yellow parchment."

Hearing Han Youran’s discourse, Ye Piaoran furrowed her eyebrows.

She had never heard of the notion that the ’Little Worlds’ within the Nine Heavy Heavens were artificially created.

Her initial reaction was...

Han Youran was spouting nonsense...

But she didn’t believe that Han Youran and the Demon Taoist Holy Emperor behind her would try to deceive someone with such a foolish statement.

Subconsciously looking at Li Jing, Ye Piaoran was astounded.

At that moment, Li Jing’s face was surprised, without any hint of doubt.

Could it...

Could it be true?

Li Jing was indeed surprised at the moment.

He had anticipated beforehand...

That the Eight ’Little Worlds’ existing among the Nine Heavy Heavens were artificially created, and they were related to the ’technology’ of the Eternal Divine Kingdom that spread to the Universe Great World.

But he was not planning to look for this...

Not to mention that Han Youran had unexpectedly delivered it to him...

What was more surprising to him was...

This thing, it was actually in the hands of the Demon Taoist faction...

This matter...

Perhaps other factions were not aware of it yet?

Admittedly...

The Demon Taoist lineage is considered a forceful type everywhere.

But in the Upper Three Realms, the real dominant forces are still the Three Major Factions who hold the throne of God Emperor, namely Divinity Taoist, Taoism and Monster Path.

The three God Emperors and the Five Sacred Emperors, essentially, lean more towards being spokespersons for power.

Likewise for Demon Taoists, while they might not lack ’young generation’ figures of Sacred Emperor level to be pushed forward, the key is that their depth cannot be compared with the three major powers that hold the God Emperor’s positions.

Han Youran bringing out this yellow parchment is significant.

Not only does it involve the ’technology’ of the Eternal Divine Kingdom, but it also concerns the secrets behind the Eight ’Little Worlds’ in the Nine Heavy Heavens.

If others know that the yellow parchment is in the hands of the Demon Taoist, it may not be kept safe.

Taking over the yellow parchment and taking a glance, Li Jing made his conclusion immediately.

This object certainly belongs to the Eternal Divine Kingdom.

The difficult text and the subtle rules hidden within were exactly the same as the mysterious stone tablet he found in the Star Nebula Great World.

Upon closing the yellow parchment, Li Jing opened a space rift with a wave of his hand and tossed it into the void.

!!!

Han Youran.

???

Ye Piaoran.

How valuable the yellow parchment was, Han Youran couldn’t be clearer.

Ye Piaoran, on the other hand, guessed from someone’s just-revealed expression that the yellow parchment hid a big secret.

But neither of them expected...

Li Jing would directly throw the yellow parchment into the void...

With this throw...

That thing might be lost forever!

Facing the astonished looks of the two women, Li Jing smiled indifferently.

"Don’t ask too much about this. There are some secrets that it’s better for the both of you not to know."

Having said that, he glanced at Han Youran.

"I’ve received the sincerity of the Demon Taoist Holy Emperor, but he’s also left me a hot potato, even though he might not even know what the yellow parchment truly hides. You can follow me for now, but you must obey me. Moreover, don’t mention what you’ve just seen to anyone, including your master."

Against such words, Han Youran’s expression was a mixed of surprise and hesitation, eventually nodding.

"Although I don’t know what’s happening, since you say so, Sky Respect Jiu, I’ll keep my mouth shut from now on."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing smiled and bowed his head slightly, conjuring a Spirit Soldier flying sword beneath his feet. With Han Youran and Ye Piaoran on board, they shot forward, entering the Little World in front of them.

Having been brought into the Little World with someone, Han Youran looked oddly at the Spirit Soldier flying sword beneath her feet, which was purely condensed from Spiritual Qi. She then stared at the person in question, her expression one of wanting to speak but refraining.

Seeing her expression, Li Jing spoke indifferently.

"Don’t make needless guesses, I am a human, not a monster. The Empress Jiu Li is merely my alter ego."

"..."

Han Youran.

In regard to Li Jing not being a monster, the Extreme Taoist Demon Palace had already made guesses.

After all, he had practised the True Demon Heart Questioning Skill in front of nine Demon Taoist elders, which was clearly not something a monster would do. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

It was just that Empress Jiu Li was too "deep-seated in their hearts", and they did not want to believe she was actually a human cultivator.

Seeing Han Youran’s speechless expression, Li Jing chuckled.

"It’s good enough that you know this. If the people in the Nine Heavy Heavens believe I am a monster, let them continue to believe so. There’s no need to deliberately correct them."

Han Youran showed a wry smile upon hearing this.

The identity of Li Jing did not matter that much.

What mattered was.

He possessed terrifying strength at the Heavenly Respect level.

However, over the years, the prejudice of the various forces in the Nine Heavy Heavens was somewhat powerful.

Regardless of other factions.

Even though the Demon Taoist faction had guessed from Li Jing practicing the True Demon Heart Questioning Skill, even her master, the Demon Taoist Holy Emperor, did not want to believe that the former was a human cultivator.

Turning to glance at Ye Piaoran, who seemed reluctant to interact with her, Han Youran looked at Li Jing and asked curiously.

"So, what is your real name, Jiu Heavenly Respect?"

"Li Jing."

Li Jing smiled, then continued with a playful tone.

"By the way, the face you see right now is my real face."

Han Youran stayed silent.

Good heavens.

Turns out that Li Jing did not hide his real identity when he came to the Upper Three Realms at all. He didn’t simply use his real name to register, but he went about his business with his real face uncovered.

And yet, all the inhabitants of the Nine Heavy Heavens had been fooled...

She really did not know what to say at this moment.

What was crucial was that Li Jing didn’t intend to deceive anyone when he came to the Upper Three Realms. It was the factions of Nine Heavy Heavens that collectively acted foolishly.

...

In a short while.

Li Jing brought Ye Piaoran and Han Youran to the exit of the Little World, going straight through to the Eight Heavens.

Just as the trio stepped out of the passage, a grand scene unfolded.

In the deep sky outside the exit of the passage, tens of thousands of monsters were stationed there, surrounding a massive carriage borne by the combined force of nine Jiao Dragons.

At a glance, Li Jing’s eyes lit up.

This Eight Heavens...

It seemed like it also planned to defy common sense and collide with him?

The scale of the scene was extraordinary.

Looking out.

Tens of thousands of monsters, either in human form or showing their original bodies, formed a huge queue, all with Cultivation levels no less than the Thirteen Realms.

If he could crush such an army, could he level up?

Just as he was pleasantly surprised, the tens of thousands of monsters on the opposite side collectively knelt down in the air.

"We welcome our Monster Race ancestor, Jiu Heavenly Respect."

Li Jing’s mouth twitched at the sight.

Even his pants were off.

And all of these guys had knelt down.

This had caught him completely off guard.

With the Spirit Soldier’s flying sword paused below his feet, Li Jing looked displeased.

Behind him, Ye Piaoran and Han Youran both focused their attention on the luxurious palanquin in the center of the caravan, their expressions slowly turning strange.

Just as the two women were gazing.

The golden curtain of the palanquin was lifted, and a woman dressed in a palace dress, seductively attractive, slowly stepped out, respectfully saluting Li Jing.

"Monster Path God Emperor Bai Qian, I welcome the esteemed Fox Clan elder, Jiu Heavenly Respect."

"..."

Li Jing.

The God Emperor himself came.

This was beyond his wildest expectations.

But on second thought.

His cultivation level had been "exposed" in the Seventh Heaven as at the Heavenly Respect level, so it was entirely reasonable for the Eight Heavens to pay special attention to him, considering the news had probably already spread throughout the Nine Heavy Heavens after such a long period.

The entire Nine Heavy Heavens all viewed him as a Fox Demon.

And the Eight Heavens was under the Demon Race’s rule...

The Demon Race had a Heavenly Respect level powerhouse.

Even if he wasn’t inherently a part of the Eight Heavens, he was part of the Demon Race, wasn’t he?

Looking at the demons, each of them has more fanatical gazes that the other. Bai Qian, the God Emperor of fox demon lineage, even flirted brazenly with him, Li Jing’s mouth twitched slightly as he rode his flying sword forward.

In response, the formidable demon troops spontaneously cleared the way, allowing him to approach the palanquin guarded in the middle of the large formation.

Bai Qian on the palanquin, taking the posture of a junior, stepping aside, giving up her place for a certain person to "get on" the palanquin.

Faced with this situation, Li Jing reluctantly gave in and got on the palanquin.

Upon reaching the palanquin, Li Jing looked amusingly at Bai Qian, who maintained a bowing posture.

"Well, both of us are from the Fox Clan, God Emperor Bai, there’s no need for such formalities."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qian looked up, smiled slightly, rose and then gestured a "please" sign.

"Since Heavenly Respect Jiu says so, this junior won’t stand on ceremony. It’s windy outside, Heavenly Respect Jiu, please come inside and speak. By the way, while on our way to Ten Thousand Demon Valley, I have arranged a banquet to welcome and dust off for Heavenly Respect Jiu."

Faced with Bai Qian’s words, Li Jing was speechless, ultimately nodded without a word, and headed into the palanquin.

Seeing this, Bai Qian nodded at Ye Piaoran and Han Youran courteously, then followed silently like a lotus step.

Seeing this, the two women exchanged glances and followed silently as well.

Bai Qian, the Demon Race God Emperor.

She was no ordinary character.

In her presence, the two of them dared not to be reckless.

But seeing Bai Qian turning into a "flattering fox" like a little wife following Li Jing, the two of them were having a hard time putting on a straight face.

Bai Qian personally welcomed Li Jing, no need to mention the degree of importance the Eight Heavens attached to him.

If they learned that Li Jing was not a Fox demon or even a monster, what would their reactions be?

...

Following Li Jing, Ye Piaoran and Han Youran basked in the reflected glory as well.

If it were usual.

Given their cultivation level and identity, they would not even have the chance to speak with someone like Bai Qian, let alone sit in the same palanquin.

Not to mention Bai Qian.

In fact, both of them had not spoken much to their own God Emperor or Sacred Emperor.

Ye Piaoran, who was once a Saintess but not a disciple of the Yaochi Divine Emperor, let alone.

Although Han Youran was the chief disciple under the Demon Taoist Holy Emperor, she had only met the Demon Taoist Holy Emperor in person when she became his disciple. Afterwards, the teachings and directives of the master’s path were carried out unilaterally across the Void space.

Usually, she would not even have the opportunity to retort.

Whatever the Demon Taoist Holy Emperor said, she listened.

Class consciousness.

It was deeply ingrained in the Upper Three Realms.

The Three God Emperors and Five Sacred Emperors were equivalent to emperors in a feudal dynasty.

Unless they held important posts, they had no chance to meet them without a lucky coincidence.
