Fighting is broken, but the heroine script.

Chapter 1239: Just dropping by!
Once you leave the wooden passageway, the world unfolds before your eyes.

The vast world appeared exceptionally prosperous. As far as the eye could see, there were magnificent pavilions and towers, scattered one after another, forming a towering structure. They surrounded countless branches and tendrils that connected heaven and earth behind them, disappearing into the sky above and stretching infinitely beyond this plane.

Those are the roots of the Jianmu tree. The Jianmu tree physically connects the Douqi Continent and the Endless Fire Domain, allowing beings from both worlds to travel between them without having to bear the heavy pressure of the boundary between the two worlds. This can be said to have greatly lowered the threshold for ascension.

"Is this... a region in the Dou Qi Continent called Zhongzhou?"

Looking at the reception area, which was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations in preparation for the celebration, Xiao Se couldn't help but ask.

"Indeed, the Empress's clan is not far from here. With the Emperor's son's cultivation level, he should be able to arrive soon."

Ya Fei explained, "Furthermore, this celebration is being held in the Spirit Crystal Land, the very place where Emperor Yan and Empress Xuan defeated the Devouring Spirit Saint King. They should still be busy preparing for it..."

“I know that my mother’s clan has many elders I know in the Medicine Tower.”

However, he didn't intend to waste any more time. After all, he hadn't been late, and it wouldn't be right to deliberately go somewhere else.

Having left the hub connecting the entire Dou Qi Continent to the Endless Fire Domain, Xiao Se was able to witness the numerous cities radiating outwards from the center of that receiving land. These were said to be newly established cities built over the past few hundred years.

It was not only established because the people of the Dou Qi Continent yearned for ascension, but also because many of them obtained what they desired in the Endless Fire Domain and then returned to their homeland to rebuild this paradise.

As the entire Dou Qi Continent became imbued with spiritual energy, the lifespan of all beings on the Dou Qi Continent was greatly extended. A time span of several hundred years was no longer an unattainable dream for ordinary people who had not cultivated to a higher level.

This is why the city of the Land of Guidance is called the Land of Sprouting.

"I never imagined that the Dou Qi Continent would be like this."

Although it is nominally still a lower plane belonging to the Endless Fire Domain, the concentration of spiritual energy here is no lower than that of the Endless Fire Domain itself.

"The plane of Dou Qi Continent is not very large to begin with. In addition, the roots of the Jianmu tree gather in the spiritual veins of the Sumeru Realm, making this place a fulcrum of the spiritual veins of the entire Endless Fire Domain. In a few hundred years, it will be enough to transform this place into a blessed land comparable to the Great Thousand World."

"However, even so, this place doesn't seem to be simply filled with spiritual energy."

Xiao Se opened his palm, gathering specks of shimmering light within. This was the life-giving radiance naturally emanating from the Jianmu tree, a blessing bestowed upon all things, and also the key to the transformation of the Dou Qi Continent.

It's no wonder that so many people yearn to obtain a divine tree seed after it has truly matured.

The closer one gets to the Spirit Crystal Land, the denser the crowds become.

Although it is an exceptionally important celebration for the Endless Fire Domain, it is essentially more of a commemoration of the past by the beings of the Dou Qi Continent. For this reason, the Endless Fire Domain did not actively invite other forces from the Great Thousand Worlds to participate in this celebration.

Even so, quite a few busybodies who are closely related to the Endless Fire Domain have come to the Dou Qi Continent through some special channels.

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Se?"

A pleasant voice came from afar, accompanied by the girl's lively shouts and movements, causing everyone around Xiao Se to be slightly taken aback.

Although the rules of the Endless Fire Domain are not as strict as those of the five ancient clans, at least the natives of the Endless Fire Domain and the Dou Qi Continent would never call the imperial prince by his name in public.

All beings are people who have received the Emperor and Empress's favor; even if they had just caused themselves trouble, they wouldn't do it this way. Could they be outsiders who have come to offer their congratulations?

Those who are qualified to enter the Dou Qi Continent but are not from the Endless Fire Domain are at least Heavenly Sovereign forces that can connect with the Endless Fire Domain, so why would they react this way?

With this question in mind, everyone looked up with Xiao Se and saw the somewhat familiar girl in the white dress waving at them.

Not far away, a graceful young woman in a white dress stood on the clouds, her face showing a hint of joy at meeting an old friend in a foreign land. After all, she didn't know anyone here at all, and although her mother had come with her, she was still somewhat bored.

I happened to run into an acquaintance here.

He stepped forward, but his overly calm reaction made the girl hesitate slightly: "...It really is you. Your reaction was so quiet, I thought I had mistaken you for someone else."

"How did you come?"

He naturally remembered the little princess of the martial arts realm, after all, in his knowledge, no girl was as unconventional as her.

“My mother brought me here. She said she saw that I was bored at home and not cultivating properly, so she simply brought me out to see the world.”

Lin Jing shrugged: "Who knew it would end up here with you? Speaking of which, where's your older sister? The legendary princess? If you, as the younger brother, are this powerful, then your older sister must be even more powerful?"

"My sister just returned and has fallen asleep again. Her constitution is special, and she still needs to integrate her bloodline. But speaking of which, did the Martial Ancestor have any objections to you when you went back this time?"

Under Lin Jing's slightly speechless gaze, Xiao Se posed the question that interested him most.

Has no one ever told you that you're actually quite good at making sarcastic remarks?

"No, it's just that I have a strong impression of this aspect, which is why I asked that question."

"...Don't worry, this will disappoint you. Everyone in the family pleaded for me, and Dad didn't really do anything to me...though he said it wouldn't happen again."

Lin Jing touched the strands of hair on her shoulder, subconsciously ignoring the stern gaze from Xiao Se, as if nothing had happened.

"Speaking of which, thanks to you, my father was at least willing to let me out this time."

"I?"

Xiao Se blinked. In his memory, the only relationship he had with the Martial Realm was with the little princess of the Martial Realm in front of him. As for the legendary Martial Ancestor, Xiao Se only knew that his father and mother seemed to have a good relationship with him.

"They said it was because we're of the same generation, we could exchange experiences and stuff..."

Lin Jing scratched her head. These words sounded quite serious coming from her father, but when she said them herself, they sounded rather strange.

This is really a headache.
