Chapter 607: Chapter 393: Special Envoy of the Nine Dragons Divine Country

"Her soul has left her body? Did the Spirit-Catching Net fail to work?"

With a thought, Wang Yi stomped his right foot. A figure slowly grew out of the ground.

The figure wore a cyan Daoist Robe. He was the Eco-Dominator of the Wukong Dojo. Sensing Wang Yi’s summons, he arrived via Eco-Teleportation and immediately bowed respectfully.

"Wukong Daoist, you oversee the River of Souls and govern resurrection and reincarnation. Is Xiaoli’s soul not within our ecological cycle?" Wang Yi asked in a deep voice. In truth, he already knew the answer. As expected, Wukong Daoist shook his head, confirming his suspicion.

"I understand. You may return. Sigh..." Wang Yi let out a heavy sigh.

Wukong Daoist bowed again and left via Eco-Teleportation.

After Wang Yi’s territory ascended, the original three-layered world no longer remained separated due to the unique nature of the Deep Blue Sea. Instead, they fully manifested within the luminous mist. Though spaced apart with distinct ecosystems, they functioned together as a single entity.

The souls of the deceased from these three layers, along with any soul caught by the Spirit-Catching Net within a hundred million kilometers, would ultimately gather in the River of Souls at the Wukong Dojo. They were managed by the Eco-Dominator of the Wukong Ecosystem, Wukong Daoist.

Since Wukong Daoist stated that Li Longyu’s soul was not in the River of Souls, it meant her soul was truly no longer within the territory.

The Phoenix young woman appeared at that moment. The anomaly caused by the Eco Earth Deity had created a massive commotion. Upon sensing it, her first thought was that Wang Yi had returned. After all, besides him, the Lord of the Divine Kingdom, no one else could make the Eco Earth Deity bow in submission.

"You’re back..." the Phoenix young woman said weakly. A century had passed, yet her appearance hadn’t changed at all. She still looked like a young girl, though her temperament had matured significantly. She had imagined reuniting with Wang Yi countless times. Initially, she was anxious and somewhat afraid to face him, but now, she felt at peace.

"What happened to Xiaoli?" Wang Yi asked.

"A hundred years ago, before the territory ascended, foreign enemies invaded," the Phoenix young woman replied. "You took the Ten-Mile Mountains and Rivers into battle. At my suggestion, Xiaoli used the Lovesickness Bright Moon Tower to project her spirit into the void to ask my older sister for help..."

Wang Yi listened quietly, looking entirely calm. The Phoenix young woman hid nothing, recounting the situation in detail without denying her own responsibility.

"If you want to blame someone, blame me. I never expected such an accident to happen. Over the past century, I’ve tried many methods, and my sister has invited many experts to help, but we still can’t find Xiaoli’s soul. It’ll probably be very difficult for her to wake up..." Having said this, she let out a long breath, as if laying down a heavy burden.

Contrary to her expectations, Wang Yi didn’t show any anger. He remained tranquil. "Knowing the risks but still pressing on—Xiaoli is very brave. Since things have already come to this, there’s no use saying anything more. You may leave. Don’t let anyone disturb me for now..."

With that, Wang Yi sat cross-legged.

His consciousness returned to his main body, which meant arriving at the Ninth Dimension. Here, Wang Yi felt like he was swimming in an ocean of data. He could easily access all sorts of cosmic information, as if the universe’s database was completely open to him. He began putting all his effort into searching for useful information regarding the Lovesickness Bright Moon Tower and Li Longyu’s current state. This would take quite some time.

Meanwhile, outside the Shanhai Pass, at the docks, a colossal dragon turtle was slowly pulling a multi-story ship to shore. Even while lying on its stomach, the dragon turtle was a hundred meters tall. Its jet-black shell was covered in spikes, and a gold plaque hung around its neck, bearing the words "Nine Dragons"! It was a Starry Giant Beast, a towering level 600, serving as the guardian Spirit Beast of the Nine Dragons Divine Country.

The massive ship it was towing naturally also hailed from the Nine Dragons Divine Country. It was a special envoy ship, extraordinary in its make, shimmering with a jade-like luster. Inside, there were quite a few Players.

The special envoy from the Nine Dragons Divine Country was currently standing at the bow, looking around. He appeared to be in his early twenties, dressed entirely in white. Tall and quite handsome, he stood with his hands behind his back, naturally exuding a sense of superiority.

"I have arrived in person. Why do I not see Jelena here to welcome me?" the envoy muttered, raising an eyebrow in displeasure.

His status was far from ordinary. His name was Zhang Tingxue, a level 519 Soaring Dragon Sword Immortal. As the eldest grandson of the Left Sage King of the Nine Dragons Divine Country, he managed its Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He was effectively a third-generation royal of the Nine Dragons Divine Country, and one with actual authority! Furthermore, the Nine Dragons Divine Country was one of the seventy-two Divine Countries in the Cultivation Alliance, possessing profound foundations and formidable power.

Zhang Tingxue had two purposes for this visit. The first was on the orders of his Divine Country: to meet with the higher-ups of the Strongest Divine Country, establish a deep cooperative relationship, and set up an embassy. The second was on the orders of his family: to secure a marriage alliance with Jelena, the shot-caller of the Strongest Divine Country!

The Strongest Royal Court was not a Cultivation Divine Country, so Zhang Tingxue didn’t hold it in high regard. He only liked the title "Strongest." He was actually quite repulsed by the idea of deep cooperation, but bound by his duties, he couldn’t decline.

However, he had an excellent impression of Jelena. Fifty years ago, Zhang Tingxue had met her and felt that she would be highly suitable as his Dao companion. It would be wonderful if he could marry her! It was just that over the past fifty years, he had visited the Strongest Royal Court ten times and publicly expressed his affection for Jelena on several occasions, only to be explicitly rejected every single time.

Zhang Tingxue was somewhat indignant about this. He felt that given his status, he was more than a match for Jelena. Believing she was simply too arrogant, he intended to take her down a notch during this visit.
