Zhu Xi was taken aback. She had imagined that it would be ugly to have five colors mixed together, but now it seemed that it was not the case at all. Instead, it was beautiful, which made her very satisfied. What she did not know was that even her pupils had five colors at this moment. They were five concentric circles. The core was red, the second circle was green, then white, yellow, and purple. At this moment, her pupils were still rotating slowly around the center, like a five-colored vortex.
"Greetings, Divine Phoenix." The Divine Spirits of the Phoenix Race were still extremely excited.
"Get up, get up."
Zhu Xi was a little impatient. These guys were too formal. What was so good about kneeling down?
However, she discovered something that made her very happy. Her realm had already reached the Great Perfection Realm of the Godly King Realm. Moreover, she had gained many new abilities, some of which she hadn't even seen before. In terms of rules, the Phoenix Rule was still there. Then, there were five other rules that belonged to the Five Sacred Clans. Finally, there was a black rule that was a mysterious Dao Seal. Even she didn't know what kind of rule it was.
"Samsara." Zhu Xi touched it slightly and only got this information.
"Forget it. My head hurts. I need a good rest." Zhu Xi thought that no one could control what she wanted to do at this time anyway.
"Divine Phoenix, don't go. The Builder Tree Sacred Battle is in three days." The five Divine Emperors stopped her again.
"I know. I will definitely beat that Green Lightning Holy Supremacy into a sorry state."
After Zhu Xi finished speaking, she ran away like a wisp of smoke. However, seeing that she was running in the direction of her residence, the Divine Emperors were not worried anymore.
"This child …" The five looked at each other and smiled. They still did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Fortunately, she succeeded. Her future is limitless. We have succeeded."
"That's right. With the Divine Phoenix, we can obtain the Builder Tree Sacred Soul. Although we do not need it, it will be a disaster for us to let the humans have it."
… …
The third last day, the second last day, the first last day …
The last night.
Tomorrow, the five Empyrean Venerables would lead the 10 Saint Venerables and all the God King level powerhouses to the 'World Tree Heaven Sacrificial Altar' at the border of the two races to engage in the world-renowned World Tree Holy Battle.
The Holy War of the Builder Tree was the most important event in the whole world, even for the mortals. It happened once every 100,000 years, and the vast majority of mortals had never experienced the Holy War of the Builder Tree. This was a contest between the dominating gods of the whole world, and it was the final war between the Human Clan and the Phoenix Clan. The winner would obtain the soul of the Builder Tree.
The Builder Tree Saint Soul could ensure the prosperity of a clan for ten thousand generations. It had long been spread among the common folk.
Tomorrow would be the most exciting day for the entire Builder Tree. Even mortals might not be able to see the scene of the great battle, but they could understand from the sounds, the commotion of the battle, and the vibrations of the entire Builder Tree that the Builder Tree Sacred War was happening. It was even rumored that every time the Builder Tree Sacred War happened, a large number of mortals would be killed by the aftershocks of the battles between the gods.
As soon as the sun rose, the two armies set off for the official battle at noon.
Green Lightning Saint Venerable had already come to greet him. In another four to six hours, Long Chen would arrive at the entrance of the Builder Tree Divine Celestial Palace and gather with the five Empyrean Venerables and the other God Kings to head to the World Tree Heaven Sacrificial Altar.
In this vast night, Wan Qing was a little anxious. He asked Long Chen, "Saint Venerable Yang, tomorrow is the Holy War of the Builder Tree. If you help them obtain the Builder Tree Saint Soul, I guess … if you have no value to them, they will probably target you … After all, they still have some doubts about the deaths of the Blue Flame Saint Venerable and the Demon Saint Venerable. Otherwise, South Pole Fire Wood Heavenly Venerable wouldn't have used the Thousand-Eyed Fire Tree to test you."
In fact, Long Chen naturally understood what Wan Qing was saying.
He was now hoping that Long Chen would give him a chance. He couldn't bear to see Yu Yan's appearance every time. Seeing her eyes collapse and being tortured, yet she still had to stay by Green Lightning Saint Venerable's side and let him torture her. Wan Qing's heart ached every time.
There were still about four hours before the gathering time. Long Chen calculated and felt that it was about time. Lingxi was also almost done with her preparations.
"Is the sealed boundary settled?" Long Chen asked.
"It's done …" Lingxi nodded and replied.
The seven heavenly rule spirit techniques she had successfully cultivated were: Single Heart Technique, Heart Shattering Sword Finger, Heavenly Domain Quicksand, Green Snow, Soul Fission Technique, and Revolving Star Passage Technique.
There was also a heavenly rule spirit technique that Lingxi had never used before.
That was the 'sealed boundary'.
The sealed boundary was a completely sealed world. If one was imprisoned in the sealed boundary, it was equivalent to disappearing from the world. No information would be transmitted out. Long Chen had tried it before. If he was imprisoned in the sealed boundary, even the Three Lifetimes Emotion Thread would not be able to communicate with Lingxi.
Even the Three Lifetimes Emotion Thread would not work. If others were imprisoned in the sealed boundary, it would be even more secretive.
Of course, the defensive power of the sealed boundary was average and could be easily broken. It wasn't like Green Snow which was a complete sealing technique. However, the sealed boundary was silent and formless. If one didn't transmit information to the outside world, it would be hard to know that one was already within the sealed boundary.
Almost every single one of the seven heavenly rule spirit techniques had great effects. They could be used for offense or support.
For offense, there was the Heart Shattering Sword Finger, Heavenly Domain Quicksand, and Soul Fission Technique.
The reason why Long Chen placed Green Lightning Saint Venerable at the back and was so confident in Wan Qing, was because Lingxi knew the 'sealed boundary' heavenly rule spirit technique.
Letting Mo Xiaolang and Soyeon improve was just a preparation for the final battle. After all, this last 'hunt' should be the shortest and most difficult. And this time, it was for Long Chen himself.
"Wan Qing, your mission is here."
Long Chen suddenly said seriously.
"What?" Wan Qing looked at Long Chen agitatedly. His eyes were bloodshot.
"Don't be like this. It's just a small matter. Don't be so nervous."
Long Chen smiled and whispered in his ear, "Green Lightning Saint Venerable and the other God Kings are now with the five Heavenly Venerables. Yu Yan is at her original residence. Go find her and bring her away from the Builder Tree Divine Celestial Palace. The further the better. If she isn't willing, take her away by force. Of course, don't let others find out. The Heavenly Venerables are all discussing the Builder Tree Sacred War. No one will notice you."
"Take Yu Yan away? Why?" Wan Qing looked at Long Chen in shock.
Long Chen said, "This is the first step. As for the second step, I will tell you after you complete the first step. Don't worry. The further you bring her away, the more hope you have."
Wan Qing gritted his teeth and struggled for a while. Finally, he nodded. He naturally understood that he couldn't help much. Since Long Chen wanted him to take Yu Yan away, there must be a reason. He believed in Long Chen because Long Chen had already killed Blue Flame Saint Venerable and Demon Saint Venerable.
Others might not know, but he knew.
"I'll go."
"Remember to be more natural. There's no need to be anxious. There's still a lot of time. Your Builder Tree Divine Celestial Palace is insignificant. If you leave now, no one will care about you."
Long Chen patted his shoulder. Honestly speaking, he even used the Eye of Hope at this time. His goal was to let Wan Qing complete his mission. Now that things had come to this, without using any special methods, there was no way to make Green Lightning Saint Venerable leave the Builder Tree Divine Celestial Palace.
As for why he had to do it before the sacred battle, it was naturally to make sure that the five Heavenly Venerables couldn't leave.
"I'll go."
Wan Qing quietly left. He took a deep breath and headed towards Yu Yan.
"Big Brother Wan Qing, you … you better not come looking for me. Don't let Green Lightning Saint Venerable see you." Yu Yan panicked. She didn't want Wan Qing to leave.
"Yu Yan, there's something I want to tell you. Can you give me a chance? It seems like we've been together since we started cultivating." Wan Qing's eyes were filled with tears.
Seeing him like this, Yu Yan's heart shattered. She stared at Wan Qing in a daze and said, "Say it. Leave after you say it. It's impossible for us to be together anymore …"
"Listen to me …" Wan Qing moved over. He didn't think that he could bring Yu Yan away. Hence, when he neared, he used the power of laws to imprison Yu Yan, causing her to faint. He then tossed her into the divine nation. After all, he was at the peak of the Taiji Deity realm, a level higher than Yu Yan. Since she was defenseless, it would be easy for him to sneak an attack on her.
"Success."
Wan Qing's entire body trembled. He placed Yu Yan in the divine nation and stabilized his emotions. After that, he stealthily left and headed towards the Builder Tree Divine Celestial Palace.
"Wan Qing, the Heavenly Venerables have ordered that for safety's sake, no deities are allowed to leave the Builder Tree Divine Celestial Palace." The deity guarding the gate blocked him.
Wan Qing bitterly shook his head and said, "Brother, don't joke around. Those fellows are targeting Godly Kings. I'm just a small character. If I stood in front of them, they probably wouldn't even bother to kill me. In any case, I'm just a small character that no one cares about. I'd better go out and relax.
In fact, Wan Qing was also one of the deities guarding the gate. These people were his friends. In the past, Yu Yan was also with them. Back then, they were all extremely envious of Wan Qing for having someone he loved among the deities. When the Green Lightning Saint interfered, they also felt bad for Wan Qing.
"Brother, we understand your feelings … Ai, you're right. Even if we mysteriously die outside, the Heavenly Venerables probably wouldn't care. However, you should just relax. Don't go too far, go early and come back early. Honestly speaking, this Builder Tree Divine Celestial Palace is really too boring."
Just like that, Wan Qing left without any mishaps.
As soon as he left, he fled for his life. According to Long Chen's instructions, he fled in the direction of the Phoenix Clan. Long Chen gave him more than two hours to escape. With Wan Qing's speed, although the distance wasn't far, it was more than enough.
"Saint Yang, I … what should I do?"
Wan Qing's face flushed red as he said emotionally.
Long Chen said, "There's a tree talisman on Yu Yan's body. It's connected to the Green Lightning Saint. Take it out and tell him that you've taken Yu Yan away. In the future, you'll love Yu Yan more than he does and the two of you will be together for the rest of your life."
