Chapter 692: Chapter 691: Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom

"Ding! Main Quest ’Find Shi Xueyun’ completed. Rewarded with 300,000,000 EXP, 100,000 Madness Value, and five spins on the Super Lottery Roulette!"

"Ding! Successfully accepted Main Quest ’Find Your Parents.’ Completion Reward: 500,000,000 EXP, 100,000 Madness Value, and two spins on the Super Lottery Roulette!"

At that moment, the notification for the completed quest finally appeared, along with a brand new main quest: to find his parents. ’It seems I’m destined to look for them. It’s unavoidable, something I have to do even if I’m reluctant.’

Unless he wanted to stop completing main quests, but doing so would mean missing out on a lot of EXP. Of course, since it was on his way, he was more than happy for such a quest to appear.

Shi Xueyun, standing beside him, didn’t know what was happening. After a moment of thought, she said slowly, "I remember. No matter what, I’ll always remember. It was a Divine Country Power! For our Merak Palace back then, a Divine Country Power was so far beyond our reach it was like a divine existence."

"A Divine Country Power..." Yi Tianyun nodded. This wasn’t unexpected. ’Since they’re not in the Mortal Realm, they must be in the Netherworld or the Celestial Realm.’

A faction that could exist in such a place would certainly not be weak. It was indeed a Divine Country Power. ’Only a genius from a Divine Kingdom could have made Mother willing to leave with him,’ he thought. ’If he hadn’t been a genius, she, as the Palace Master of Merak Palace, would have never fallen for him.’

"Yes, a Divine Country Power. That was a huge reason why I went to the Celestial Plum Divine Clan to raise my cultivation. To search for more information, one’s cultivation must be high. Otherwise, it’s impossible to delve deeper," Shi Xueyun said calmly. "This Divine Country Power is the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom, which once produced a Divine King!"

"The Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom?"

Yi Tianyun was stunned. Of course he knew of this Divine Kingdom; he had learned about it from the memories given to him by the Artifact Spirit that had sealed the Demon Fiends. The Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom was the legacy Divine Kingdom of a great Divine King. Back in its day, it was a supreme power in the Celestial Realm, considered the number one Divine Kingdom.

He never expected his own origins would trace back to the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom, that he was a descendant of the Sealing Heaven Divine King himself! The title was certainly impressive, but the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom was now in decline.

When he first arrived in the Celestial Realm, he had inquired about the various major powers. He had previously promised to join forces with the descendants of two great Divine Kings to suppress the Demon Fiends.

Therefore, he had investigated upon arriving in the Celestial Realm, and the results he found were surprising. The Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom was still a Divine Kingdom, but it was no longer number one. It had fallen to eighth place.

This rank was still quite formidable; at least it was in the top ten among all the Divine Kingdoms. However, compared to its former status as the number one Divine Country Power, the gap was immense.

Back in its glory days, if the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom had called itself second, no one would have dared to call themselves first! Crucially, the gap between first and second place was enormous—equivalent to the power of several third-place Divine Kingdoms combined.

Other Divine Kingdoms might have something like three or five Saint Kings. The Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom, however, had one God and ten Saints! That is, one Divine King and ten Saint Kings. The sheer absurdity of its power was clear. Such was the glorious record of the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom in the past. But after a great war in the Celestial Realm, combined with the Divine King’s departure, it rapidly declined over time.

Never mind ten Saint Kings; now they have two at most. Still, a starved camel is bigger than a horse. The Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom remains in the top ten, and few dare to provoke it.

But just because no one provokes them doesn’t mean their status is high. Their eighth-place rank is the best proof of that.

"That’s right, the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom. A truly terrifying power," Shi Xueyun said calmly. "That is the Divine Kingdom my sister was supposed to marry into. Your father was hailed as the number one genius of the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom! You can imagine the level of talent required of his partner. Back then, my sister couldn’t get the approval of the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom. She didn’t even have the qualifications to be a mere concubine..."

That was terrifying. The difference between a genius from the Mortal Realm and a genius from the Celestial Realm was like the difference between heaven and earth.

In the Mortal Realm, reaching the Core Formation Stage as a teenager would make you a super genius. In the Celestial Realm, only those who reached the Spirit Pill Stage or even the Pill Transformation Stage as a teenager could be called a true genius.

That was why it was so difficult for Yi Tianyun’s mother to marry into the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom. But the two of them got together anyway, and after she gave birth to him, they returned to the Celestial Realm.

"The number one genius, huh? Dad was certainly something else." Yi Tianyun shook his head. For a couple like them to give birth to a child with such thin Blood Qi was just too strange.

He felt there had to be something strange going on; otherwise, how could his Blood Qi be so thin? His own talent was absolutely astonishing and had been apparent since he was a child. If his Blood Qi hadn’t been so weak, he would have broken through long ago and soared to the heavens.

But his Blood Qi was frighteningly weak; cultivating would have cost him his life. No matter how great his talent, it was useless.

"I saw your father once, long ago. He was indeed a breathtaking genius, with the bearing and talent to match, making countless young women swoon." Shi Xueyun shook her head and sighed. "My sister was also deeply attracted to him, so much so that she followed him to the Celestial Realm, even knowing she would face extremely painful consequences."

"So, Aunt, you wanted to come here to see how Mom is doing now? To see if her situation is as good as you hoped?" Yi Tianyun said with a faint smile. "But I imagine it’s not good at all."

If things had gone smoothly, she would have returned to the Mortal Realm to find him long ago. She wouldn’t have vanished without a trace for almost twenty years.

"That’s why I wanted to come and see. If her situation is bad, I’ll knock some sense into her and drag her back by force if I have to..." Shi Xueyun’s eyes reddened. "She is my best sister. If it wasn’t for her, I’m afraid I would have died long ago... Becoming sworn sisters with your mother is the luckiest thing that ever happened in my life."

"Don’t worry. We will bring Mother home..." Yi Tianyun smiled, then accelerated their flight toward the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom.

He knew the general route, so he wasn’t worried about getting lost. What the situation would be when they arrived, however, was another matter entirely.

Along the way, he remembered the lottery spins. Since he had free time during the journey, he decided to use them. He hadn’t forgotten about the Desolate Ancient Desolate Set. If he managed to pull the Desolate Ancient Desolate Set, he wouldn’t have to worry about any resistance from the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom.

"Activate the Lottery Roulette!"

A giant lottery roulette immediately appeared in the Void, but Shi Xueyun, who was leaning against him, couldn’t see it. She was simply by his side, enjoying the moment of peace. This was just a brief rest before the storm. ’When the time comes, we’ll surely face many challenges. The affairs of the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom won’t be easy to resolve.’

’I wonder what’s become of the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom after nearly twenty years?’
