The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 421 Divine Envoy: Fellow Daoist Murong [Part 1]

Several hours ago.

The South China Sea Illusion Continent, the Little Cloud Dream Immortal Marsh.

In a secluded pavilion in the middle of a lake, a scene as dreamlike as a dream, two hazy figures playing chess are reflected in the mountains, water, clouds, and mist, a scene as poetic and picturesque as a painting.

"Fellow Daoist Murong, how come you won again this round? Ugh, how boring, how utterly boring!"

On one side of the pavilion, a dignified and elegant woman with a queen-like demeanor rolled her eyes and let out a reproachful sound.

Immediately, she rested her left hand on half of her cheek, and with her right hand, she gently tapped the chessboard embedded in the pavilion table with her two jade fingers holding a black piece, looking utterly bored.

"Fellow Daoist Ghost Princess, you flatter me! I have troubled you greatly recently, so I will take my leave now. As for Old Ghost Illusion, please convey my message that the Ancient God Master prophesied in a dream: the realm where the Four Beasts perished—Miracle Mountain and Sea—will surely reappear within five years... I hope that in this era, the South Sea Illusion Continent can hold the Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Demons and Thousand Ghosts as is customary, to select outstanding talents and geniuses to help and support the Eastern Sacred Continent in the Miracle Mountain and Sea Secret Realm! I thank you in advance!"

On the other side of the pavilion, a woman named Murong truly lived up to her name. As she rose to bow and bid farewell, every smile and frown of hers embodied the harmony of the universe and the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars.

"Ring, ring!"

Murong was elegant in demeanor. On her exquisitely beautiful flowing cloud-like hair bun, a bright purple jade leaf hairpin shimmered with dazzling light. It swayed gently with her graceful figure, highlighting her noble status while maintaining an elegant temperament.

Looking at her from a distance, her flowing, snow-white, wide-sleeved gown made her appear as pure and flawless as a rare orchid in a secluded valley.

"Alas! Xuemo, I know that the fact that Beixi and Ximo used their clones to deceive you back then, while their true bodies underwent Nirvana in a dangerous place to undergo the Immortal Tribulation and perished, has always troubled you. You wish you could personally venture into the Miracle Mountain and Sea to find their scattered true spirits, but thousands of epochs have passed... Is there still any point in persisting?"

Beside the pavilion in the middle of the lake, a thick cloud of colorful smoke condensed into a human-shaped outline on the surface of the lake. Watching Murong Cixing's departing figure, Nan Huan sighed with a sense of vicissitude: "Moreover, the human heart is the most unpredictable! The opening of each Miracle Mountain and Sea requires a grand-scale competition among all races to gather fortune; the more fortune, the more slots for entering the realm, and correspondingly, the higher the upper limit of the realm that can be entered. But all of this will ultimately lead to bloodshed. Before the opening, the four continents, vying for entry slots and the upper limit of realms, first staged the first open competition in their respective continental competitions, and then..." After the grand competitions within each continent, a second round of covert struggles will unfold; and once the Miracle Mountain and Sea opens, a third round of open and covert attacks, and the killing of acquaintances for treasures, will take place within the secret realm! Almost every era, less than one in a hundred of the most talented and promising individuals survive the Miracle Mountain and Sea. In the last era, due to the entry limit reaching the peak of the Great Sage realm, only a handful survived. Even your reincarnation as the musician nearly perished in the encirclement. I cannot bear to see the continents once again beset by internal and external troubles and suffer immense loss of life because of the Miracle Mountain and Sea secret realm, and I am even more unwilling to see you stubbornly continue to lead the way in bearing this bloodshed…”

Upon hearing this, Murong Xuemo smiled without saying a word, her star-like eyes fixed on Nan Huan's hazy figure, as if trying to see through him.

"Very well... Since the Ancient Venerable has tacitly approved the holding of the Ten Thousand Sects Grand Competition and the entry into the Miracle Mountain and Sea, and considering that I am indeed to blame for what happened back then and feel ashamed towards you and your two fellow disciples, I will help you find this last era."

As soon as Nan Huan finished speaking, Murong Xuemo raised an eyebrow and smiled, "In that case, thank you, Old Ghost Huan! I must say I have other matters to attend to and will not linger any longer. Where are Zang Yu and Miao Xuan? It's time to set off and return!"

"Okay, Aunt Xue, we're here!"

Outside the pavilion in the middle of the lake, amidst the dreamlike sea of ​​clouds shrouded in cold mist, two ethereal women descended on strangely shaped unicorn-like mythical beasts.

Immediately, the two women leaped off the unicorn phantom horse, bid it a reluctant farewell, and then walked gracefully to either side of Murong Xuemo, standing tall and elegant.

Immediately afterwards, Murong Xuemo flicked her finger at the clouds in the void. A magnificent, fiery red vortex passage appeared before the three of them.

In the next instant, the three figures leaped into it and disappeared without a trace along with the magnificent vortex passage.

"Ahem..." Seeing this, Nan Huan hesitated and could only cough twice at Gui Ji.

"Alright, I knew it would turn out this way! I'll personally oversee the situation in Dong Sheng, so you can focus on the trivial matters within Huan Zhou!"

Ghost Princess nodded knowingly, watching as Nan Huan's figure dissipated into the clouds.

Immediately, the Ghost Princess also pointed her finger into the void, creating a dark and eerie teleportation vortex, and was about to step into it.

"Your Majesty! Your Highness the Ghost Princess, wait for us! Huff, huff... We've finally made it!"

Suddenly, outside the pavilion in the middle of the lake, two beautiful female demons of unknown origin, carrying large and small bags, stumbled and floated over.

Inside the void teleportation channel, the Ghost Queen frowned and asked helplessly, looking at the two women on her left and right, "Ayu, Azhu, what are you doing here?"

"Your Majesty, how dare you say that? We are your personal maids, personally chosen by you. How can you forget to take us with you on every trip?"

"That's right, that's right. It's one thing for you to patrol within the Illusion Continent, but this time when you go to the Eastern Sacred Continent of the Human Race, we absolutely cannot let you diminish the prestige of our Demon and Ghost Races in front of the Human Race!"

The two beautiful enchantresses chattered back and forth, giving the Ghost Princess a headache, but their arguments left her speechless. "Alright! Although I don't like your following those outdated customs of the human world, acting as maids, occasionally accompanying me on outings to broaden your horizons and experiences can be quite beneficial for your stagnant cultivation!"

The Ghost Princess affectionately patted the heads of the two maids who had come closer, which was considered a concession.

Don't be fooled by Ayu and Azhu's seemingly gentle and weak appearance; they are actually proud daughters of the demon race who have cultivated for thousands of years and reached the level of demigods.

The two demons also have remarkable origins: one is a jade-faced fox, and the other is a white jade spider. Both are races with unlimited potential and the inheritance of demon gods.

……

Located on the southwestern border of Dong Sheng Shen Zhou, bordering the Nan Hai Huan Zhou.

A flock of seagulls soared and cried freely, while golden rays of sunlight streamed into the azure sea.

"Swish, swish!"

Murong Xuemo and the other two leaped out of the teleportation channel and landed on the beach. Immediately, a salty and moist sea breeze blew in their faces, making them feel refreshed and relaxed.

Suddenly, the space along the coast fluctuated violently, and three uninvited figures emerged from the dense channel of ghostly energy.

"Fellow Daoist Ghost Princess?"

"Ahem, for several epochs without ever crossing the border, your Eastern Sacred Continent is still a peaceful and prosperous place!" Seeing the increasingly puzzled looks from Murong Xuemo and her group, the Ghost Princess, her embarrassment gone, smiled and said, "This year's Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Demons and Thousand Ghosts will be personally presided over by Nanhuan. Since I have nothing else to do, I'd like to accompany Fellow Daoist Murong on a trip to the Eastern Sacred Continent. Firstly, to help Nanhuan select trustworthy forces to forge alliances; secondly, it's time to settle the blood debts of broken agreements left over from the last epoch!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Xuemo's heart stirred slightly, and she smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Guiji, please don't make fun of me! Since that's the case, since you've come from afar, please accompany my two juniors to the Eastern Sacred City for a short rest. After I've settled some karmic debts, I'll come back to find you and ask for your forgiveness for any lack of care!"

Murong Xuemo's suggestion was intended to avoid suspicion and prevent any unforeseen complications from involving others.

As a result, the Ghost Princess was displeased upon hearing this and said bluntly, "No need for trouble, just come along!" She also asked, "What is the cause and effect?"

High in the clouds, Murong saw that the Ghost Princess insisted on coming along, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritated. He casually replied, "It's just a small matter, nothing to tell others!"

However, she did not expect that after these words were spoken, although the Ghost Princess and her entourage remained outwardly calm, their curiosity inwardly became even more active.

The group remained silent as they rode the clouds and mist southeastward towards the Eastern Sacred Continent.

Even if Murong and the Ghost Princess reached a level of understanding the creation of heaven and earth, without constructing spatial teleportation, simply trying to traverse the entire continent by flying would be an impossible task.

"Fellow Daoist Murong, why have you stopped?"

With everyone flying leisurely through the air for two hours, Murong did not see the Ghost Princess and the others get tired and give up. Instead, he stopped and his expression changed slightly.

"Boom!!" Ignoring the questions from the Ghost Princess and the others, Murong Xuemo sighed inwardly and directly tore through space with everyone.

The next instant, the group appeared above a desolate ghost city perpetually shrouded in dark clouds formed by nine enormous vortex-like vortexes...

Meanwhile, high in the sky, a vast expanse of fiery red tribulation clouds churned and brewed. Terrifying bolts of lightning struck the weakest point in the vortex, blasting out a huge hole through which they filed in.

Gazing at the fiery red tribulation clouds and lightning cascading down into the tunnel, the Ghost Princess was astonished. "Is someone undergoing a divine tribulation?"

Seeing that Murong and the others had already set off, she quickly took Ayu and Azhu and followed closely behind Murong, descending down the tunnel.

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
