Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At Feng Luan Palace, Feng Tian continent.

Wu Hong, clad in blue, was pacing back and forth in the main hall of the palace. Boxes of seeds could be seen piled high on the floor and he turned every so often to question the immortal official at his side.

“Is this the new batch of immortal herb seeds that you found?”

“Yes, your highness. There are a total of 375000 varieties of herbs, ten seeds to each variety. These all first grade seeds, specially cultivated on immortal veins and guaranteed to sprout within two days of planting.”

“All right.” Wu Hong nodded his head. “Have you inspected them? Are you sure there are no spoiled seeds inside?”

“We’ve done ten rounds of inspection.”

“Inspect again before we set out!” Frowning, he emphasized, “These are to be sent to the Exalted Goddess, every single one must be perfect, understand?”

“Yes, your highness.”

“And change the boxes. These are ordinary boxes, which can only preserve immortal qi. Use boxes made of black immortal wood instead!”

“Yes.”

“By the way, have you sent those immortal veins over? This time, add another one. It will be disastrous if they sprout but fail to grow.”

“Yes.”

“And bring along immortal air. It will speed up their growth.”

“... Yes.”

“Take great care on the road. Use immortal qi to protect them from damage during the journey.”

“...”

“Forget it, I’ll deliver them instead. I don’t trust you.”

“...”

With a wave of his hand, Wu Hong packed all the seed-filled boxes into a jade case. He carefully picked it up and was about to leave when an immortal official ran in hurriedly.

“Your highness, Tian Zhao continent’s Emperor Bai is here to see you!

“Bai Ti?” said Wu Hong in surprise. “Why has he come?” Why did Bai Ti choose to see him just when he was about to deliver the seeds?

Wu Hong frowned in annoyance. He had no choice but to hand the jade case to the official beside him, instructing him once again to deliver it to the Invincible Sect that very day. Then he motioned his staff to bring in the person outside.

“Emperor Wu Hong.” A white-bearded man clad in green robes embroidered with gold trimmings walked in. His voice when he spoke was as loud as a bell, “It’s been a long time since we met. How have you been?”

“Emperor Bai Ti.” Wu Hong smiled politely. “What brings you here to my Feng Luan Palace?” Although both belonged to the demon tribe, Feng Tian residents were mostly flying creatures who had rose to become immortals, whereas the majority in Tian Zhao were land-based creatures. The two continents could not be said to be on good terms but neither were they on bad terms. This was the first time that Emperor Bai Ti had come to see him.

“We both belong to the demon tribe. We should get together more often.” Bai Ti smiled.

“Did you come just to say this?” Without changing his expression, Wu Hong went straight to the point and asked, “Has Emperor Bai Ti really come to talk about old times or is there some other matter?”

“Emperor Wu Hong is indeed sharp.” Bai Ti’s smile stiffened. “Indeed, I’ve come here to request a favor from you. It’s regarding my wilful daughter.”

“Has your little princess gone missing again?” asked Wu Hong a little mockingly. Everyone in Heavens beyond Heaven knew about Bai Ti’s daugher.

Bai Ti seemed used to such mockery and gave a deep sigh. “You know that I have only this child. I’ve spoiled her from young, that’s why she has grown so stubborn. Of all people, she has to fall in love with... Hai, she left the house in a huff after I told her off.”

“Then why are you here instead of looking for her?” Wu Hong asked, “How would I know where your daughter is?”

“Yesterday, I spotted her in another continent and was going to bring her back. But ...” Bai Ti seemed to think of something and frowned. “I had an encounter with two powerful sword immortals and almost fell into their trap. If not for Emperor Ji Zhe and the divine artifact Divine Refining Clock, I would not have been able to capture them.” Sighing once again, he continued, “But she managed to slip away while I was fighting with them. I spent one day searching but still could not find her. I guessed she must have believed in their lies and gone into hiding. I heard that Emperor Wu Hong is acquainted with some immortal emperors. Could you ask these immortals from the lower realm to help look for her?”

Wu Hong nodded his head. This was just a small task.

“But, since you have already captured those two immortals, why don’t you ask them directly?”

“Although I’ve captured them, the Divine Refining Clock can only be activated every seven days. So I can’t release them for questioning until then.” He opened his fist and a little silver clock suddenly appeared on his palm. A reddish light could be seen flickering in the center of the clock. If he waited another seven days, his daughter would be long gone.

“I can solve this problem easily.” Wu Hong suggested, “Our avian tribe has a Heart Revelation array, which can reveal the memories of a person when he is at his most vulnerable. If we put the clock inside this array, we might be able to find the location of your little princess.”

“That’s great!” Bai Ti hurriedly passed the clock over to him. “I’ll have to trouble you to take care of this matter then.”

Wu Hong took the clock from him. He could sense the aura of two immortals inside the clock. While conjuring a seal, he asked, “By the way, who are the immortals inside? They must be quite skilled to have been able to take you on.”

“I... I don’t know them. Never seen them before.”

“Oh...”

“But I heard them saying they’re from... Invincible Sect.”

Clang!

Wu Hong immediately flung the little clock away.

Invincible... Invincible... Invincible Sect!

Σ(°△°|||)

You must be kidding me!

“Wu Hong?” Taken aback, Bai Ti hurriedly caught the clock in his hands. “What did you ...” He was about to ask Wu Hong what was wrong when he saw the latter’s face suddenly turn pale. His two hands were trembling violently.

No, no, no... He must have heard wrong.

“Tell... Tell... Tell me again. Which sect are they from?”

“Invincible Sect from the Feng Cang continent!”

Boom! Wu Hong felt as if a thunderclap had hit him.

Pui...

In a daze, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.

“Emperor Bai!” Wu Hong grabbed the latter’s hand and beseeched him, “Listen to me. Release these people immediately. Quickly!” Otherwise it would be too late.

“Why?” asked Bai Ti, baffled. “But this clock will be activated only after seven days...”

“Then break it!” Wu Hong was on the verge of tears. “Use immortal weapons, Deviant Thunder, Primordial Fire, I don’t care what, just release these people!”

“But these are divine weapons...”

“Divine weapons! I don’t care if they are divine... yes, divine weapons can break open the clock. Wait here, I have them.. I’ll give them to you!” Wu Hong whipped out an ancient zither and thrust it at him.

“Unexpected Zither...”

“Take it and break open the clock! Forget it, I’ll do it!” Wu Hong raised the zither and swung it down on the clock.

“Hold on... Emperor Wu!” You can’t use the zither like this!

Just the zither was about to land on the clock, a blinding white beam of light shot out from it. The palm-size clock on Bai Ti’s palm began to grow bigger and bigger. Bai Ti had no choice but to let go of the clock. Within moments, the clock had grown as high as a man.

This was followed by a loud sound and a series of cracks slowly appeared on the surface of the clock. The cracks spread out in all directions until it covered the whole surface of the clock.

“What ... What’s happening!” Bai Ti exclaimed in alarm. “My Divine Refining...”

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a loud boom and the silver clock shattered to pieces. A great stream of immortal qi shot straight towards them...
