Ch. 1727 - Immortal Maiden Palace, One of The Sixteen Beast Races

After Ancient Heaven Dao Lord snorted coldly, he swept his hand through the air.

A heaven-shaking sword intent rang out across the sky, instantly shattering the void, and slashed straight toward the ancestor of Thousand Sovereign Gate.

In that moment, heaven and earth seemed split in two by the sword intent. The sky fell into an empty, deathly silence.

The ancestor of Thousand Sovereign Gate was annihilated, leaving not even bones behind.

Only then did Ye Qingcheng turn around. She had also noticed Ji Zhan.

She walked over slowly.

“Ho–Holy Maiden, greetings, Holy Maiden,” Ji Zhan hurriedly said.

“Where is your master?” Ye Qingcheng asked softly.

“My master… went to the Three Corpse Burial Ground,” Ji Zhan replied hesitantly.

The moment he spoke, Ye Qingcheng’s expression changed.

“Why go to such a place?”

“We offended Thousand Sovereign Gate. My master wanted to become stronger. There is something in the Three Corpse Burial Ground that he needs,” Ji Zhan explained.

“Come with me. We’ll go to the Three Corpse Burial Ground to rescue him then,” Ye Qingcheng said, grabbing Ji Zhan as she prepared to leave.

Xu Zimo chuckled nearby. “No need to rush. The Three Corpse Burial Ground hasn’t opened yet.”

Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly and looked at him. “Who are you?”

“Ruhu is my brother,” Xu Zimo said directly.

Ye Qingcheng was momentarily stunned and turned her gaze toward Ji Zhan.

Ji Zhan quickly nodded. “This lord and I were originally planning to go to the Three Corpse Burial Ground to rescue my master.”

“The Three Corpse Burial Ground is special,” Ye Qingcheng said, nodding. “It only opens for a few years at specific times. However, I know that as long as you find the key, you can enter it.”

“Where is the key?” Xu Zimo asked.

“Three Corpse City,” Ye Qingcheng replied. “But I don’t know the exact location. The key is found by different people each year.”

“Then once things here are settled, we’ll go to Three Corpse City to look for the key,” Xu Zimo said.

“He’s in the Three Corpse Burial Ground with his life hanging in the balance, and you still have the mood to look for some inheritance here?” Ye Qingcheng said coldly, clearly displeased.

“I’ve looked at Ruhu’s fate. He should be in a very special state right now, with no danger to his life,” Xu Zimo replied.

“If you won’t go, I’ll go myself and save him,” Ye Qingcheng said coldly.

With that, she boarded the immortal palanquin and departed.

Ji Zhan looked torn.

“My lord, we…”

“Tell me, would Ruhu rather be saved by two grown men like us, or by a beautiful woman?” Xu Zimo said with a grin.

Ji Zhan froze.

“The master’s wife you mentioned… is the Holy Maiden of Jade Court?”

“That’s right. Jade Court’s influence is enormous. If even Jade Court can’t find the key, what could we do by going?” Xu Zimo asked in return.

“Once the Three Corpse Burial Ground opens, we’ll know immediately.”

“I understand,” Ji Zhan nodded.

“You’re letting Ye Qingcheng save my master and trying to bring them together, right? We only step in if it really comes down to it?”

“Not we. Me,” Xu Zimo corrected.

Ji Zhan chuckled.

At that moment, the sky was split apart by two extreme forces.

One half was immortal mist, the other beastly energy.

“Immortal Maiden Palace and the Stork-Sparrow Race have arrived!” someone shouted.

“This is bad. The Stork-Sparrow Race is always arrogant. They won’t take us seriously.”

“At least Immortal Maiden Palace is pleasant to look at,” someone joked.

The crowd erupted into discussion.

Xu Zimo only learned afterward, through Ouyang Xiu, that the Stork-Sparrow Race was actually one of the Sixteen Beast Races.

Among the Upper Heavens, there was one heaven called the Azure Mystic Heaven, ruled by the beasts.

The Sixteen Beast Races were the rulers of that domain.

As one of the Sixteen, the Stork-Sparrow Race might not be the strongest.

But their reproductive ability was unmatched.

It was said that among all beast races, the Stork-Sparrow Race alone accounted for one percent.

One percent might not sound like much.

But among countless beast races, with billions of flourishing races, this number was terrifying.

In the Upper Heavens, other beast races were confined to the Azure Mystic Heaven.

Only the Stork-Sparrow Race spread throughout the entire Upper Heavens, with overwhelming numbers and endless descendants.

Moreover, they were extremely vengeful and tightly united.

This made many powers unwilling to provoke them.

As for Immortal Maiden Palace, it was a rather special force.

They were originally affiliated with Jade Court.

Later, Immortal Maiden Palace produced a remarkable figure named Myriad Forest Dao Lord.

Under his leadership, Immortal Maiden Palace broke away from Jade Court and established itself independently.

Both forces were extremely well known in Grand Desolate Heaven.

Their arrival naturally caused a sensation.

Immortal Maiden Palace arrived aboard an immortal vessel, shrouded in mist and radiating ethereal beauty.

From time to time, enchanting figures drifted through the immortal fog, stirring hearts.

As for the Stork-Sparrow Race, they rode nothing at all.

They flew in, blotting out the sky.

From afar, it didn’t feel overwhelming.

But up close, the dense swarm of black dots was enough to trigger trypophobia.

Once these two forces arrived, the crowd barely had time to react.

Because divine might surged through the heavens.

Clouds rolled violently. The void thundered.

A divine gate opened in the sky.

“It’s the Divine Court. The Divine Court has sent someone down!”

“There were rumors that the Divine Court had been watching the Poison God’s inheritance all along. Looks like they finally couldn’t hold back.”

“If the Divine Court has made a move, do we still dare to compete with them?”

“What are you afraid of? There are so many people here. Would the Divine Court really kill us all?”

“Exactly. The law doesn’t punish the masses. We’ll be fine.”

The crowd clearly wasn’t afraid.

When the divine gate opened, only a single young man stepped out.

This surprised everyone.

It was nothing like the imagined scene of gods descending en masse.

“Maybe the Divine Court is just sending a junior to gain experience. We overthought it,” some people speculated.

The Divine Court youth stood alone.

He was quite handsome, with sharp, heroic brows.

A black rectangular case was strapped to his back, ancient and austere in appearance.

“Divine Court, Chen Feng,” the young man said coldly.

“Since this formation requires killing to enter, then let it be chaos. Kill ten thousand people, and the formation will open naturally.”

As he spoke, the case on his back began to transform.

Like a divine mechanism, it turned into a long spear.

The spear shattered the void and instantly pierced through more than a dozen people in midair.

“Since no one else is moving, I’ll start,” Chen Feng said calmly.

With those words, shouts erupted from the crowd.

“Kill!”
