Chapter 2280: Searching for Mu Yuqing

After tearing through the void several times, Xu Nian finally arrived at the central region of the Four Great Divine Lands.

Looking at the ancient and desolate continent before him, a hint of surprise appeared in Xu Nian’s eyes.

"Is this the territory of the Ancient Divine Clan, the original place of the Original Divine Realm?" Xu Nian mused to himself.

He felt that upon entering this place, his perception of the Cosmic Order had become much clearer.

Not only that, but the speed at which his Origin Universe absorbed external energy had also increased significantly.

"It seems the reason my Origin Universe’s absorption speed has increased is because I’m approaching the Original Divine Ruins. Perhaps the Original Divine Ruins is the resting place of the Master of the Cosmic, so I need to be extra cautious." Xu Nian mused to himself.

He was now merely in the realm of Returning Ruins and had not yet entered the range of the Original Divine Ruins.

The entrance to the Original Divine Ruins was in the central area of the realm of Returning Ruins.

Upon entering the realm of Returning Ruins, Xu Nian ceased tearing through the void.

This was the territory of the Ancient Divine Clan, and who knew if there were any God Emperor Level experts of the Ancient Divine Clan present.

Although the realm of Returning Ruins did not completely prohibit New Gods from entering, the Ancient Divine Clan was inherently repelling to the New God Clan.

"I wonder if Mu Yuqing has returned to the Divine World. If she has, she might be in this realm of Returning Ruins." Xu Nian mused to himself.

With a thought, the stunning body of a woman, completely encased in ice crystals, appeared before Xu Nian.

This was Mu Yuqing’s corporeal body.

Her body was still sealed by the Glazed Jade Stone.

And to break the Glazed Jade Stone, a God Emperor Level expert was necessary.

With Xu Nian’s current cultivation, breaking this Glazed Jade Stone was a simple task.

"Buzz!"

A stroke of Heavenly Destiny Order from Xu Nian caused the Glazed Jade Stone sealing Mu Yuqing’s corporeal body to shatter instantly.

A flawless and stunning figure appeared in front of Xu Nian.

As Xu Nian looked at Mu Yuqing’s corporeal body before him, there was a trace of astonishment in his eyes.

He hadn’t noticed before, but now Xu Nian realized that Mu Yuqing’s past life’s body had already reached the Divine Sovereign Peak level.

And as a soul from the Underworld, breaking through to Daluo God Peak was almost impossible for her.

However, if she were to fuse with her past life’s body, she might break through this barrier and reach Divine Sovereign Peak in one fell swoop.

With this in mind, Xu Nian decided to search for Mu Yuqing in the realm of Returning Ruins.

There was still some connection between Mu Yuqing’s corporeal body and her soul. Through the body, there was a significant possibility of finding her soul.

Thinking of this, Xu Nian immediately employed the Soul Exploration Secret Technique.

The next moment, a fluctuation emanated from Mu Yuqing’s corporeal body.

"Buzz!"

A pulling force came forth, originating from the east.

With a wave of his hand, Xu Nian stored Mu Yuqing’s corporeal body back into the Chaos Divine Palace.

Then, Xu Nian sped towards the east.

He wanted to see where Mu Yuqing was located.

If he could find Mu Yuqing, helping her restore her corporeal body would settle this karmic issue.

Xu Nian’s speed was swift, and in no time, he reached a city.

This was a city of the Ancient Divine Clan, inhabited primarily by people of the Ancient Divine Clan.

Normally, non-Ancient Divine Clan members would not dare to enter an Ancient Divine Clan city. Once inside, they could easily be killed.

"Mu Yuqing’s signal is in this city. It seems I must enter the city." Xu Nian mused to himself.

The next moment, he transformed into a member of the Ancient Divine Clan.

For Xu Nian, disguising himself as a member of the Ancient Divine Clan was not a difficult task.

The biggest difference between the Ancient Divine Clan and the New Gods was that the Divine Soul did not reside in the Mud Ball Palace but was spread throughout all cells of the body.

This might be a challenge for other powerful beings, but for Xu Nian, whose soul was fused with the Origin Universe, achieving this was simple.

"Buzz!"

With a thought, Xu Nian transformed into a male member of the Ancient Divine Clan.

He disguised himself as a member of a very small tribe within the Ancient Divine Clan, the Divine Power Clan.

This tribe was extremely weak, and its tribespeople had significantly dwindled in numbers.

Disguising himself as such a tribe had two advantages: it was less likely to encounter fellow tribespeople, and it attracted less attention.

Additionally, the Divine Power Clan was the tribe closest to the Human Clan and held a very low status within the Divine Clan.

"Halt, who are you?" As Xu Nian approached the city, a guard from the Divine Clan stopped him.

This guard’s cultivation was not very high, only at God Level.

But Xu Nian’s disguise was as a Daluo God cultivator from the Divine Power Clan.

A God dared to be so arrogant towards a Daluo God, indicating how low the Divine Power Clan’s status truly was.

"Greetings, my lord. I’m an elder from the Divine Power Clan. My name is Po Li, and I intend to enter the city to purchase some items." Xu Nian replied respectfully, not wanting to offend, putting on a respectful demeanor.

In truth, with his strength, he really didn’t need to bother with these guards.

However, as this was the territory of the Ancient Divine Clan, there might well be God Emperor Level experts present.

If caught by a God Emperor Level expert, it could be quite troublesome.

"I know you’re from the Divine Power Clan, ten Mid-grade Divine Stones," the guard said immediately.

"Of course, my lord, here you go." Xu Nian handed over ten Mid-grade Divine Stones.

"At least you know your place. Go in." The guard waved his hand, indicating for Xu Nian to enter.

"Thank you, my lord." Xu Nian smiled.

And thus, he entered the city.

The guard sneered at Xu Nian’s departing figure: "Hmph, a Daluo God, yet the Divine Power Clan is such a lowly tribe, they should be kicked out of the Ancient Divine Clan by rights."

Hearing the guard’s words, Xu Nian shook his head silently.

It was said that the Ancient Divine Clan valued bloodline above all, and it seemed to be true.

Some lower bloodline tribes within the Ancient Divine Clan lived even worse than some slaves.

"Forget it, I’ll use this identity for now, but I should avoid disguising as such a tribe in the future." Xu Nian mused to himself.

He continued to walk inside the city.

The sensation from Mu Yuqing’s corporeal body grew stronger.

This sensation was coming from the center area of the city.

"The City Lord’s Mansion? So, Mu Yuqing is in the City Lord’s Mansion. This could be a bit troublesome." Xu Nian mused to himself.

Cities of the Ancient Divine Clan were always guarded by Divine Sovereign Level beings, and some even had God Emperor Level experts.

The Divine Wood City he was currently in probably didn’t have a God Emperor Level expert, but Xu Nian vaguely sensed the aura of a God Emperor Level expert.

And this God Emperor aura was coming from the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Forget it, I’ll quietly go in and find out." Xu Nian mused to himself.

He soon arrived outside the Divine Wood City Lord’s Mansion, and with a flicker of his body, he turned into a shadow and entered the mansion.

Following the sensation, Xu Nian quickly located Mu Yuqing.

"As expected, she’s here. However, she seems to be in some trouble." Xu Nian observed Mu Yuqing’s condition, frowning slightly.
