As Meng Die spoke, Bai Xiaosheng quickly took out a pen and paper and began jotting down notes.
"This is the first time I've heard of this. Since you know so much, you must be a member of the Heavenly Clan, right?
But now that the Immortal Clan has met with a calamity, logically speaking, their clansmen should have already gathered in the Boundless Heaven Realm. It is impossible for them to have only returned now, so you must have received the news recently. According to my understanding, the Immortal Clan does not have many descendants who have been lost in the outside world. From the looks of Young Miss, you resemble the recently deceased Immortal Clan Patriarch, Immortal Yuze. Immortal Yuze only had one daughter, who ran away from home about eight hundred years ago and disappeared without a trace. Could it be … Young Miss's name is Immortal Dream Butterfly?
Bai Xiaosheng exclaimed.
Su Chen furrowed his brows. "You know too much."
Su Chen's stare scared Bai Xiaosheng out of his wits. He hurriedly said, "I was just casually mentioning it. It doesn't count. But... if you really are Imperial Dream Butterfly, then I do have some information I can give you."
"Tell me," said Meng Die curiously.
"Cough cough...."
Bai Xiaosheng cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Half a year ago, Ye Guihong and Heavenly Yuze fought. It seemed sudden, but in fact, there were signs. 327 years ago, Spirit Mountain wanted to conquer the Boundless Sky Realm. At the time, Lady Providence sent Ye Guihong to negotiate with the Heavenly Clan. They wanted to develop spirit crystals together and cultivate a group of outstanding disciples for Spirit Mountain. However, Heavenly Yuze refused.
The Yutian Clan was ranked first among the Ten Great Clans of the Spiritual Mountain. Even though they were on the decline, they were still one of the Top Five Great Clans due to their size. They also had the protection of the Sky Realm, which was a dangerous place, so they were not afraid of the Spiritual Mountain. This was why the Yutian Clan dared to reject the Spiritual Mountain.
However, the soldiers of the Spiritual Mountain did not give up. Over the years, the Spiritual Mountain had gradually subdued a few other large clans, such as the Tantai Clan, the Tiangong Clan, and the Buzhou Clan. These old clans that were as famous as the Yutian Clan had basically successively submitted to the Spiritual Mountain. Coincidentally, these clans each occupied one of the Ten Great Forbidden Lands.
From what I've gathered, Spirit Mountain suddenly developed a strong interest in the ten great forbidden areas three hundred years ago. Lady Providence has been in charge of Spirit Mountain for seventy thousand years, but she's never had any ideas about the forbidden areas. Now that she's suddenly developed an interest in them, there must be some hidden reason.
Because of this, the destruction of the Yutian Clan had been destined since three hundred years ago.
Back then, Ye Guihong didn't act ruthlessly against the Heavenly Clan because he was afraid of Mount Meru's might. He didn't want to risk his life.
However, half a year ago, the Heavenly Clan experienced internal turmoil. Five of their Heaven's Equal Realm elders died one after another, greatly reducing the clan's fighting strength overnight. At the same time, the Heavenly Clan's teleportation formation was tampered with. Before it could be repaired, Ye Guihong suddenly paid a visit the next day and challenged Heavenly Yuze to a duel. The duel lasted only an hour before Heavenly Yuze suffered a crushing defeat and fell to Ye Guihong's divine sword. "
At this point, Bai Xiaosheng boldly speculated, "In conclusion, I seriously suspect that Spiritual Mountain has already planted a mole within the Heavenly clan. If the Heavenly clan hadn't been destroyed from the inside, Ye Guihong wouldn't have been able to destroy it so easily."
After listening to Bai Xiaosheng's long speech, Meng Die sank into deep thought.
When she heard the news of her father's death, she found it very difficult to understand.
She grew up in the Heavenly Clan, so she knew very well just how powerful they were. Especially when they were guarding the Overflowing Sky Realm, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It could be said that the Heavenly Clan was practically untouchable in the entire Spirit Mountain.
Unless a Saint Ruler personally came and attacked the Overflowing Sky Realm, no one would be able to shake the Heavenly Clan.
But what kind of status did Lady Providence have? She definitely wouldn't lower herself to personally attack the Yutian Clan. Doing so would only damage her lofty status in the Spirit Mountain and the Calm Province.
Ye Guihong was very powerful. He was a Godking and looked down on everyone.
But did the Heavenly Clan not have a Godking?
Although her father, Yu Tian Yuze, wasn't a Godking, he had long since taken half a step into the Godking realm. He could even put up a fight against a Godking.
Although the clan's ancestors were in seclusion all year round and their bodies were far from their prime, if the clan was in danger, they would definitely fight to the death. Not to mention Ye Guihong, even if the Spirit Mountain sent two Godkings to the Overflowing Sky Realm, they would definitely have to pay a heavy price to take down the Heavenly Clan.
Could it really be as Bai Xiaosheng said? That there was a mole within the Heavenly Clan?
No matter how impregnable the Heavenly Clan was, if it was disintegrated from the inside, the difficulty would plummet.
If Spirit Mountain were to make a move in the dark, it would not be difficult at all.
Su Chen thought for a moment, then said, "What else do you know?
I can use spirit stones to exchange for information. "
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, "I've already told you everything I know. By the way, the emissary sent by Spirit Mountain is estimated to arrive in Mystic Sky Realm in twelve days to incorporate Mystic Sky Realm. If you want to find out the truth, you'd better hurry up. Otherwise, once the emissary of Spirit Mountain arrives, you're doomed to be powerless."
"Why twelve days?
How do you know so much? "Su Chen asked.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled, revealing his white teeth. "I know a lot. I even know that the Spiritual Mountain emissary is called Zhong Li, and he's at the peak of the Heaven's Equal Realm. He's Ye Guihong's nephew, and Ye Guihong's sister in eleven days. Zhong Li's mother is celebrating her birthday, so Zhong Li will definitely stay at Spiritual Mountain to organize her birthday banquet. He'll only have time to leave the next day. Because Spiritual Mountain now controls the Yutian Clan's teleportation formation, they don't need to cross Mount Meru to reach the Yutian Clan.
Su Chen was somewhat impressed by Bai Xiaosheng. This guy really knew a lot of information. He lived up to his name.
He's a talent. If I can take him in, it would be perfect.
But now was not the time to think about this.
"Let's go. Time waits for no one. We have to get to the Heavenly Clan as soon as possible."
Meng Die nodded and immediately led the way.
Crossing Mount Meru was only the first step. The Heavenly Clan was located in the core area of the Overflowing Sky Realm, and Mount Meru was only the first line of defense. To enter the core area of the Overflowing Sky Realm, they still had to cross a long distance. This area was the real reason why the Overflowing Sky Realm was called a forbidden area.
This area had a terrifying name — the Great Burial of the Heavens.
It was said that the powerful expert who once lived in the Overflowing Sky Realm had cut off his own physical body before ascending to the Immortal Realm. His physical body turned into countless ferocious spirits that lived here for generations. This was the origin of the Great Burial of the Heavens.
