Chapter 562: Chapter 561: Shi Xueyun Left?

"I... I’m alive?"

The Spirit Race Ancestor was stunned. He had felt certain he was going to die, even feeling his consciousness fade away, but he never expected to be alive again in the blink of an eye. Only after checking thoroughly did he confirm that he was truly alive. He was even a good dozen years younger—it was completely unexpected.

Even Yi Tianyun found the effect miraculous. He hadn’t expected the man to not only come back to life but also become a dozen years younger. It was truly beyond his expectations.

"Yes, you’re alive," Yi Tianyun said with a knowing smile.

"Th-Thank you, Spirit King!" Ye Qingxuan wiped away her tears—tears of joy. She couldn’t believe their Ancestor had truly been revived. The other clan members also stared at the scene in disbelief.

Immediately, they all began to cheer. The whole thing was incredible, but they knew Yi Tianyun must have used some supreme-grade Elixir Pills. Otherwise, how could he have saved the Ancestor?

They had all seen that the Ancestor was done for. Reviving him must have come at a great cost.

In that moment, Yi Tianyun’s prestige soared to its peak, far surpassing what it was before.

"Spirit King, I don’t know what kind of elixir you gave me, but this was truly a waste..." The Spirit Race Ancestor shook his head. While it was good to be alive, he could imagine that it was no ordinary item. To use it on him was indeed a waste.

If you had kept it for yourself, it would have been an extra life!

They were right. It was indeed extremely Rare, but Yi Tianyun still had two lives left. He believed he would definitely get more in the future. As long as he worked hard on quests, there would always be more quests related to this.

"There’s no such thing as a waste. You’ve sacrificed so much for the sect. If I weren’t even willing to give you this, it would be truly disheartening." Yi Tianyun smiled and added, "Besides, Elixir Pills are just material possessions. As long as you’re alive, that’s what matters. And the Celestial Cloud Empire still needs its Ancestor to help manage it!"

The Spirit Race Ancestor stood up, deeply moved by Yi Tianyun’s words. He said excitedly, "As long as the Spirit King doesn’t mind this old bag of bones, I am willing to go through fire and water for you!"

"Ding! Successfully subjugated the Spirit Race Ancestor as a Divine General. Obtained 50,000,000 experience points, 100,000 Madness Value, and 100 Commander Value!"

A message popped up, indicating he had successfully subjugated the Spirit Race Ancestor as a Divine General and received a massive amount of experience, which was truly shocking. It seemed that truly subjugating someone as a Divine General yielded substantial rewards; the higher their level, the more experience and other things he would receive.

Having been saved, the Spirit Race Ancestor was now even more willing to completely obey Yi Tianyun’s commands, so it was natural for him to become a Divine General. Although others were highly loyal to him, the significance was different. Their loyalty didn’t stem from such a powerful act as being brought back from the dead.

"Why would I mind? We’ve all seen how much you’ve sacrificed." Yi Tianyun smiled, but his gaze immediately grew heavy. "Those were forces from the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom, come up from the Netherworld. I destroyed two of their Treasure Ships on my way here. From the looks of it, I’m afraid they will keep sending more people, so we must be extremely careful!"

Everyone nodded. That recent battle was a brush with death. If Yi Tianyun hadn’t rushed back, they would have been completely wiped out. After occupying this territory, they had started to feel a bit confident, even against an Empire. Now, it was clear that confidence was misplaced. They were average at best!

Just a small group of experts had come, and they had been completely crushed, unable to resist in the slightest. The enemy had far more Void Spirit Stage experts alone; it was a total rout.

After that, they got busy, quickly repairing the surrounding area. The great battle hadn’t caused major losses; most of the damage was to things like Divine Runes. This wasn’t a problem. As long as the people were alive, everything could be fixed.

At the same time, Yi Tianyun arranged for Ren Liangchen and the others to help. They were now part of the Celestial Cloud Mansion, so they certainly had to lend a hand.

When the bulk of the work was done, Yi Tianyun patrolled the main hall, nodding repeatedly in satisfaction. The initial construction was mostly complete, and the speed was quite fast. Having Cultivators do the construction work was, of course, incredibly efficient.

This was especially true with the Spirit Race doing the building. They were naturally skilled in this area, as he had seen before in the Spirit Race Forest. The houses they built were exquisitely crafted, and now that they were building here, they were being particularly meticulous.

This was, after all, going to be their Imperial City. How could they not be meticulous?

"Have there been any leads on the Life Crystal?" Yi Tianyun asked.

This concerned the propagation of the Spirit Race, so of course he had to pay close attention.

"For now, there are no leads..." The Spirit Race Ancestor sighed. This was a deep-seated worry for them, but overall, things were manageable. As long as their lives were stable, it wasn’t an urgent crisis for the time being.

Besides, their previous Life Crystal wasn’t broken yet; it could still last for a while.

Yi Tianyun nodded. "I’ll keep a close eye out for it in the future. It is indeed a bit too Rare and not so easy to find."

"All we can do is keep looking. If we can’t find it, we can only say that even the heavens refuse to spare us..." The Spirit Race Ancestor sighed. They wouldn’t force the issue.

"Don’t worry, there has to be a way to solve this." Yi Tianyun frowned. He had made inquiries when he was in the Netherworld, but there was nothing related to it.

Not to mention here in the Mortal Realm. If it existed here, they would have already obtained it with their current power.

’Could it be in the Celestial Realm?’ Yi Tianyun narrowed his eyes, thinking of a new place: the Celestial Realm.

They had never searched the Celestial Realm. They didn’t even know how to get up there, so how could they possibly search it? ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Spirit King, there’s something I need to tell you..." Ye Qingxuan hesitated, unsure if she should say it.

"What is it?" Yi Tianyun looked at her, and his heart sank. Judging by Ye Qingxuan’s expression, it was clearly not a small matter, but a major one.

"Well... Palace Master Shi... she was taken away by someone..." Ye Qingxuan said awkwardly.

"What!?" Yi Tianyun’s voice instantly dropped to a freezing point. His aura erupted, and the entire room became incomparably cold in an instant, the temperature plummeting by more than ten degrees!

He had been planning to go and see Shi Xueyun after he finished dealing with these matters. Who knew she would be taken away?

"Who took her?" Yi Tianyun quickly calmed himself and suppressed his aura. Only then did the others breathe a sigh of relief, though they were more shocked by his power.

His aura alone had been so oppressive they could barely breathe. He was far more formidable than the Spirit King Stage expert from before.

"We heard it was an acquaintance, but we don’t know their identity. And they were from the Celestial Realm..." Ye Qingxuan continued, "Before Palace Master Shi left, she passed on a message. She said she was going to find your parents first and that she would be back soon."

"Going to find my parents?" Yi Tianyun said, stunned. "Did my parents send someone down to get her?"

The news was too sudden, and quite a shock. His parents, who had been missing for years, would send someone to pick up Shi Xueyun? ’But that’s not right,’ he thought. ’If they were going to pick someone up, it should be me. Why would they get her first?’
