Chapter 563: Chapter 562: Descendant of the Creation Celestial Divine King

This sudden news truly caught Yi Tianyun off guard, exceeding his expectations. No wonder Ye Qingxuan had been so hesitant and embarrassed to tell him; she was worried he would become too agitated.

Everyone could see that Yi Tianyun and Shi Xueyun had a very close relationship. If anyone could be considered the closest to him, it was undoubtedly Shi Xueyun. The other women, including Ye Qingxuan, couldn’t get very near to him. Only Shi Xueyun, in everyone’s eyes, seemed able to approach him.

His reaction was just as they had expected: absolute fury. Ye Qingxuan thought to herself, ’I wonder when Yi Tianyun will ever be like this for me?’

"It seems it wasn’t people sent by your parents. It was a Cultivator from the Celestial Realm. When she passed through here, she saw that Palace Master Shi’s talent was exceptional. She even praised her for having a Profound Ice Divine Body and decided to take her away. Palace Master Shi was unwilling at first, but she later decided to go. In the end, she just left that one message..." Ye Qingxuan explained in detail.

"So that’s how it is..." Yi Tianyun’s eyes flickered. ’Someone from the Celestial Realm must have been passing through, saw that Shi Xueyun was a promising talent, and took her away to be nurtured.’

He had long been aware of Shi Xueyun’s condition. Her constitution was quite excellent, but he hadn’t known what kind it was. Even his Eye of Investigation couldn’t discern the details. ’There are many things it can’t analyze in detail. I really need to upgrade it.’

So it was only natural for her to be taken to the Celestial Realm. The crucial part was that she went to find his parents for him. ’Does this mean my parents are from the Celestial Realm?’

"Parents..." Yi Tianyun had no attachment to these so-called parents. He had no memory of them at all, and the thought of them left him feeling indifferent.

To him, Shi Xueyun was the most important. Any other relatives, even those with a true blood connection, could step aside if they got on his bad side!

’After all, what’s the point of a blood relationship if we don’t even know each other? There are no feelings between us, so they’re completely irrelevant.’

He could only assume that Shi Xueyun’s final decision to go wasn’t for her own future, but to help him find his parents! There was no other known way to ascend to the Celestial Realm; she had to go with that person.

"How strong was that Cultivator’s cultivation?" Yi Tianyun asked, frowning.

"I remember she was quite young, a female Cultivator in her thirties. She was a whole level stronger than the experts the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom sent before! At least, that’s what her aura suggested," the Spirit Race Ancestor replied. After a moment’s thought, he continued, "At the time, we thought she was here to cause trouble. Luckily, she was just a visitor passing through and had no interest in us. She just happened to take a liking to Palace Master Shi and took her away."

"However, after taking her, she gave us a lot of resources. For example, she gave us quite a few Sacred Artifacts and fifth- and sixth-grade Elixir Pills. She even left one or two Heaven-Level Martial Arts manuals. The wealth of her background is truly staggering..."

The Spirit Race Ancestor shook his head. She tossed those things to them as if they were garbage. But they, in turn, cherished every item, as they were things they normally could never hope to obtain.

Yi Tianyun nodded. He understood this perfectly; this was the reality for those with lower cultivation. The woman came from the Celestial Realm, her standards were incredibly high, and she was an expert at the Spirit King Stage. To someone like her, Sacred Artifacts were merely average. It was only natural to offer some compensation for taking such an outstanding disciple.

’The Celestial Realm...’

Yi Tianyun’s heart sank. He wanted to go find Shi Xueyun right now and drag her back. She didn’t need to go looking for those so-called parents of his. ’They can do whatever they want. I wouldn’t care if I never saw them in this lifetime.’

She had gone to the Celestial Realm all by herself just to help him find his parents. Who knew what kind of faction she had joined? ’What if they don’t treat her well? The trials in the Celestial Realm are bound to be strict, and she’ll have to endure countless hardships.’

At this thought, Yi Tianyun shook his head. He desperately wanted to go find Shi Xueyun, but his situation wouldn’t allow it. The Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom was watching them like a hungry tiger. Until he razed the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom to the ground, there was no way he could leave for the Celestial Realm.

He didn’t need to know the specific path. He just had to raise his cultivation to the Spirit King Stage, and he would be able to travel to the Celestial Realm via the Ascension Divine Altar. There was no difficulty in that.

The problem was the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom, that thorn in his side. How was he supposed to deal with it? His enemy possessed a Saint King Stage cultivation. Even if he broke through to the Spirit King Stage, he wouldn’t necessarily be a match for him.

Unless he could combine the Spirit King Stage with an even stronger level of his Madness Mode, then he would have a good chance of killing an opponent above his level. Or, if he reached the eighth or ninth layer of the Spirit King Stage, it would be even easier.

’First, I’ll stabilize the situation here, then I’ll make further plans.’ Yi Tianyun nodded, having made his decision.

Shi Xueyun shouldn’t be in any mortal danger. After all, the situation wasn’t as dire as he’d imagined. She was simply recruited as an outstanding disciple; they would surely treat her well.

’But if she were being held against her will, I would slaughter my way into the Celestial Realm in a heartbeat. I don’t care who it is, they’d have to hand Shi Xueyun over!’

The remaining matters were mostly administrative. Overall, things were developing favorably and flourishing day by day. Establishing the Celestial Cloud Empire wasn’t a major issue; it would just take some time to be successfully founded.

After all matters were settled, everyone went about their own business. As Yi Tianyun walked out of the main hall, planning to make one more patrol before heading to the Celestial Cloud Divine Hall, Jiu Lingyun happened to approach from the side.

"Mansion Master!" Jiu Lingyun now carried herself with an air of immense competence. Her appearance hadn’t changed much, but her eyes were full of spirit. Compared to her previous lack of confidence, she was now brimming with self-assurance.

All this confidence stemmed from her power—she was a peak Fifth-Grade Divine Rune Master. She was preparing to break through to the Divine Rune Master level. Once she succeeded, she would be an existence of the Demon Level.

In the entire Celestial Cloud Empire, aside from Yi Tianyun himself, Jiu Lingyun was likely the only one who could keep pace with him—not in terms of Divine Rune Master skill, but in terms of age!

The Spirit Race Ancestor had the highest Divine Rune grade, but he was already old. Jiu Lingyun was still very young; it was a certainty she would become a Divine Rune Master within a few years. With talent like that, surpassing the Spirit Race Ancestor in the future would be no problem at all.

"Calling me Mansion Master is too formal. ’Yi’ sounds much better. I haven’t seen you for a few days. It looks like you’ve made great progress..." Yi Tianyun looked at Jiu Lingyun, feeling quite satisfied. He had brought her back largely out of kindness.

He never expected that act of kindness would bring him a genius—a genius who could one day become a Divine Rune Grandmaster!

"Yes, Yi!" Jiu Lingyun smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of joy.

BUZZ... BUZZ... BUZZ...

Just then, Yi Tianyun felt a buzzing sound from within his robes. He quickly took out the Jade Pendant and discovered it was reacting strongly. The reaction wasn’t directed at just anyone—it was directed at Jiu Lingyun!

"You’re a descendant of the Creation Celestial Divine King..." Yi Tianyun was stunned. He never would have imagined that the descendant of the Creation Celestial Divine King was none other than Jiu Lingyun!
