Chapter 1376 Return to Cangxuan
That day when Zhou Yuan saw the elite army that prime sovereign Jin Luo selected for him, he unsurprisingly saw some familiar faces.
The army, headed by Chi Jing, consisted of Zhao Mushen, Wu Yao, Su Youwei and one hundred figures.
The number of people wasn’t a lot, but a dozen were at the Law Domain stage and the rest were at the pinnacle of the Nascent Source stage.
That formation of people could wipe out a territory in Hunyuan Heaven, let alone Cangxuan Heaven.
“I heard that junior brother, you, is returning to your hometown. As your senior sister, I am very curious to have a look at your hometown.” Chi Jing’s short burgundy red hair fluttered as she spoke. Her tall and slender body made her look even more heroic and some of the girls in the team couldn’t help but cast glances her way.
Zhao Mushen wore an indifferent expression as he said, “I’m also very curious to see what sort of place could raise a monster like you.”
Su Youwei exclaimed in a gentle voice, “I want to see the little courtyard in the Great Zhou City again.”
But Wu Yao kept quiet, because, in truth, Cangxuan Heaven was only filled with bad memories for her. She didn’t want to return there at first, but when Su Youwei persuaded her, she agreed without much argument. No one knew what the reason was.
Zhou Yuan smiled at them. “This trip to Cangxuan Heaven is a rescue mission. So, I will have to trouble you guys then.”
The one hundred people behind responded politely. They, who were either at the Law Domain or the pinnacle of the Nascent Source stage, were regarded as fierce characters in any place. However, when they faced Zhou Yuan, they didn’t dare to be disrespectful.
They stared at Zhou Yuan in awe.
Zhou Yuan’s t.i.tle as the strongest below the Saint stage was known to everyone in that past half a year.
If this was in the past, some Law Domain experts might challenge Zhou Yuan’s position as leader, but now, no one dared to even have such a thought.
When Zhou Yuan met his team, prime sovereign Jin Luo suddenly emerged above. Looking at everyone, he said, “I have already explained what your specific mission is. This trip to Cangxuan Heaven will be headed by Zhou Yuan.”
“Yes!” Everyone answered respectfully.
Not wanting to waste any time, prime sovereign Jin Luo turned and said to Zhou Yuan, “You can leave when you’re ready.”
Zhou Yuan peered into the distance and saw a graceful figure standing on a pavilion. Her clear and ethereal eyes were fixed on him. It was Yaoyao.
In her arms was Tuntun sleeping lazily. Zhou Yuan didn’t take Tuntun with him to Cangxuan Heaven to keep Yaoyao company in case she felt lonely.
The two looked at each other affectionately.
Zhou Yuan beamed at Yaoyao, forcibly suppressing his reluctance to leave her and said to prime sovereign Jin Luo, “We’re ready!”
Prime sovereign Jin Luo nodded and gently tapped the walking stick in his hand.
Boom!
The s.p.a.ce above All-Heavens City suddenly split apart and berserk spatial force roared out like an enraged dragon. However, that was no threat to a supreme sovereign. In just a few seconds, prime sovereign Jin Luo was able to locate Cangxuan Heaven’s position.
The spatial force surged and formed a s.p.a.ce portal.
Without prime sovereign Jin Luo saying anything, Zhou Yuan already took the lead and soared into the sky. He glided across the sky like a giant bird and threw himself into the s.p.a.ce portal.
The one hundred people quickly followed after him.
In just ten breaths, the entire team had entered the s.p.a.ce portal and the s.p.a.ce portal had vanished, leaving behind no trace.
Prime sovereign Jin Luo gave a nod in Yaoyao’s direction before he disappeared like an illusion.
Yaoyao paid no attention to prime sovereign because her gaze was fixed on where Zhou Yuan disappeared. While gently striking Tuntunt’s soft fur, she suddenly raised her eyes and peered in the chaos void’s direction.
A strange light flash across her starry sky-like Divine Eye, which was covered by her bangs.
“Sacred G.o.d…
“Are you about to awaken? Your disgusting aura is beginning to be felt in this world…”
...
Cangxuan Heaven.
The s.p.a.ce above the mountains rippled violently and gradually distorted, forming a vortex surrounded by bolts of lightning.
A pillar of light descended from the sky, causing the mountains to quake and created a huge crater in the ground.
Zhou Yuan stood in the huge crater, surveying the surroundings.
“The Genesis Qi in this world is much weaker than that in Hunyuan Heaven. Also, it contains chaos and disorder. This should be Cangxuan Heaven. We haven’t been teleported to the wrong place. No wonder prime sovereign Jin Luo is a triple lotus saint expert.”
Zhou Yuan smiled. He couldn’t perceive the difference in universe Genesis Qi back when he was in Cangxuan Heaven, but now that he was the strongest below the Saint stage and that he had been to Hunyuan Heaven and Wanshou Heaven, he was distinctly aware of the difference between Cangxuan Heaven and other heavens.
The chaos and disorder it had were perhaps due to the absence of a heaven master.
Zhou Yuan drew a deep breath while slowly opening his arms. A nostalgic smile lit up his face. “Cangxuan Heaven, I, Zhou Yuan, is back.”
After that performance watched by no one, he slowly drew out a golden bell and jingled it. A sound wave imperceptible to ordinary people rippled across the area. It was a signal to contact the rest of the team. They also each had a golden bell that would guide them to him.
With a flick of his sleeve, clouds scudded away.
The terrain ahead came into his sight.
“Huh?” Zhou Yuan cried out when he saw the terrain ahead, and he couldn’t help chuckling. The scenery filled him with nostalgia and reminiscence.
It was very familiar to him.
It was the Saint Remains Domain, which he came to when he was still a young boy and it was where he received the runes left by old ancestor Cang Xuan. Under his guidance, he went to Cangxuan Sect and started his journey to reach the top.
“Old ancestor Cang Xuan, it’s been a long time…” As Zhou Yuan muttered, three incense sticks appeared in his hand. He burned them and bowed respectfully in the Saint Remains Domain’s direction.
“I broke the Cangxuan Saint Stamp back then and brought chaos to Cangxuan Heaven, but don’t worry. I came back to clean up the pests in Cangxuan Heaven.” Zhou Yuan’s calm voice echoed on the mountain summit, and the terrifying murderous intent contained in his voice made all mountains deadly still and quiet.
Zhou Yuan exhaled deeply and his expression suddenly changed as he turned his head northwestward.
There, vast amounts of Genesis Qi were surging.
