Chapter 509 - 502: Zuo Shanyi's Schemes
As the voice echoed through the Divine Hall, a thin young man with black hair was quickly brought to the hall.
"Zuo Shanyi greets the Heavenly Emperor and my master, Heavenly Emperor Wankang, master Wankang," the thin man respectfully saluted.
"No need for formalities," Feng Huan hurriedly waved his hand.
Zuo Shanyi stood very properly beside the Great Divine Official, Suosi, his demeanor calm and composed.
Feng Huan was very pleased internally; despite arriving at the Divine Court Hall with so many powerful Divine Wills falling upon him, he remained unperturbed—a man capable of great deeds.
Moreover, his aptitude was astonishing. Judging from the Dao Rhythm's aura, his bone age wasn't very old, yet he had reached the peak of Daluo Immortal, ready to step into Luo Tian Immortal realm at any moment.
He could be well nurtured in the future.
The only regret was his appearance: rather ordinary, with dark skin and a not very robust physique.
"Heavenly Emperor, this is my disciple, Zuo Shanyi. Shanyi, speak freely without the slightest concealment," Suosi's attitude towards Zuo Shanyi was extremely kind.
"Shanyi, are you a Divine Clan cultivator?" Feng Huan asked with a smile.
Zuo Shanyi respectfully stepped forward and said, "This humble one possesses both Divine Clan and Human Tribe bloodlines. However, I have always admired the Divine Clan, so I reside among them."
"Good, good," Feng Huan said twice in succession.
"Do you know the origin of the Great Immortal Governor from the Immortal Court?" After saying "good" twice, Feng Huan brought the topic to the main issue.
"Yes, this man is called Ding Huan, from a mortal planet, which should be a fragmented part of the First Heaven of the Nine Heavens World…" Zuo Shanyi immediately began to speak about Ding Huan's origins.
Feng Huan was overjoyed, "Good, explain in detail without any errors."
"Yes, I had several confrontations with Ding Huan on this planet called Earth…"
"How did they go?"
"All resulted in my defeat. In terms of strength and mentality, I was indeed inferior to him at the time and could only seize a spaceship to escape Earth…"
Although Zuo Shanyi recounted everything in detail, he had only a few encounters with Ding Huan on Earth.
Each time, he almost got killed, so managing to escape Earth was a significant victory to him.
"Then how do you know his weakness?" Feng Huan asked with a frown.
Zuo Shanyi calmly replied, "Because Ding Huan fell in love with a Divine Clan woman named Qi Xinyue.
Not long ago, I discovered that Qi Xinyue, her mother, and an elder of the Divine Clan had arrived in the Pangu Great World, and she is one of the Sacred Female candidates of the Divine Clan.
Qi Xinyue was taken by Ding Huan from Earth and had interactions at a place called Triple Heaven Star Land. However, Qi Xinyue has dual souls, and her soul was suppressed; now appearing is Qi Xinqi.
Qi Xinqi and Ding Huan have a deep-seated enmity.
If Qi Xinyue can be restored and persuaded by her, Ding Huan may spare the Divine Clan, even allowing us to visit the Land of Divine Origin in a ritual to honor our ancestors."
Zuo Shanyi had expended great energy to discover these details.
To be precise, he learned these after arriving at Pangu Great World.
Suosi promptly said, "Once we reach the Land of Divine Origin, we can definitely unlock the Divine Clan's Sealing Array of fate.
I believe that even the Immortal Court does not know the Land of Divine Origin is where the Divine Clan's fate originates."
"Quick, bring Qi Xinyue… no, Qi Xinqi here," Feng Huan loudly ordered.
In a short period, not only Qi Xinqi but also Three-Eyed Kurshen and Qi Xinqi's mother arrived at the Divine Hall.
"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor," Qi Xinqi's group said. They had endured countless hardships to reach Pangu Great World and find the Divine Clan.
Even though Qi Xinqi became one of the Sacred Female candidates, their status in the Divine Court was still too low to meet the Heavenly Emperor.
Today's meeting with the Heavenly Emperor was a great fortune for them.
Feng Huan's gaze fell upon Qi Xinqi; she was indeed exceptionally beautiful, though her eyes consistently concealed an indescribable sorrow.
However, her expression was extremely joyful, even with a touch of excitement.
That trace of sorrow was unrelated, indicating dual souls.
Qi Xinqi was indeed very excited. Leaving Triple Heaven Star Land, she had faced death countless times and struggled to reach Pangu Great World.
Upon arrival, she was no longer adored as a Sacred Female, even having to compete with other Sacred Females from Star Lands.
Not being the adored Sacred Female, she had poured limitless efforts into reaching the late stage of Golden Immortal.
Now having the qualification to meet the Heavenly Emperor meant she no longer had to desperately fight for cultivation resources, signifying her Great Dao ahead was smooth.
"Qi Xinqi, is Qi Xinyue's soul still present?" Feng Huan calmly asked.
Qi Xinqi was stunned. What does this mean?
Shouldn't the question be about becoming a Sacred Female and her vision for the future of the Divine Clan? Why ask about Qi Xinyue?
Truthfully, she almost forgot about Qi Xinyue.
Qi Xinyue was sealed deep within her Purple Mansion; had she had the power, she would have eradicated Qi Xinyue long ago.
"Yes…" After a while, Qi Xinqi responded.
Feng Huan said to the Great Divine Official, Suosi, "Great Divine Official, help separate them."
Suosi raised his hand towards Qi Xin, Qi Xinqi's heart leapt in fear, wanting to evade. Yet, under Suosi's domain, she couldn't even move.
In the next moment, Qi Xinqi's Divine Soul was forcibly extracted by Suosi.
Qi Xinqi's Primordial Soul floated lonely in place, looking terrified.
She felt desperately naked before everyone, without a shred of cover.
Years unable to separate her Divine Soul, in Suosi's hand, took just a simple grab.
Three-Eyed Kurshen and Qi Xinqi's mother, witnessing this, knelt in terror, not daring to utter a syllable.
Suosi's divine will fell on the lifeless body, moments later, the body opened its eyes.
But it was no longer Qi Xinqi; it was Qi Xinyue.
Qi Xinyue's soul had been sealed for so long, even when she first met her mother, she was sealed.
She knew nothing of the events on Triple Heaven Star Land, not even Ding Huan taking her away.
However, her long time with Ding Huan fed her survival instincts.
The power of those in the hall seemed immeasurable; their mere gaze could kill her.
She finally remembered being brought here by Zhi Qi.
But she couldn't see Zhi Qi.
Instead, she saw the dung beetle Zuo Shanyi.
"Are you Qi Xinyue?" Feng Huan gently asked.
Qi Xinyue nodded blankly, trying hard to recall her past.
Seeing her bewildered gaze, Feng Huan frowned slightly, then said to her mother, "Explain Qi Xinyue's past."
Qi Xinyue's mother quickly approached her.
She explained how Zhi Qi brought her to the Divine Clan, her body being long occupied by sister Qi Xinqi, Ding Huan's fury wiping out Triple Heaven's Divine Clan...
Their escape from Triple Heaven, surviving numerous deaths and opportunities, finally reaching Pangu Great World, meeting the Heavenly Emperor...
Hearing all this, Qi Xinyue felt as if dreaming.
Though experiencing these events through Qi Xinqi, she was merely a sealed soul in the depths of her Sea of Consciousness.
Hearing Ding Huan seeking her, enduring Qi Xinqi's insults, Qi Xinyue clenched her fists, nails digging into her palms.
After years with Ding Huan, she couldn't bear hearing harsh words about him; Qi Xinqi dared insult him.
Stealing her body, insulting her husband—a deep-seated hatred burning; she wanted to tear Qi Xinqi apart.
Bullying her Qi Xinyue was one thing; bullying Ding Huan was intolerable.
Seeing Qi Xinyue understood, Feng Huan spoke kindly:
"Sacred Female Xinyue, you should now understand the situation. Your partner Ding Huan is now the Great Immortal Governor of the Immortal Court, capable of controlling our Divine Clan's fate.
As our Sacred Female, I hope you can assist our Divine Clan with making a trip to the Immortal Court.
There are two main tasks: firstly, reconciling with the Immortal Court, and secondly, facilitating our Divine Clan's pilgrimage to worship the Land of Divine Origin."
Qi Xinyue's mother's eyes sparkled with excitement upon hearing Qi Xinyue became the Sacred Female.
It meant no longer needing selection.
To her, whether Qi Xinyue or Qi Xinqi, becoming Sacred Female was all the same.
Her preference lay slightly with Qi Xinqi; after all, Qi Xinyue is liked by the Immortal Court's Great Immortal Governor.
"Please instruct, Heavenly Emperor," Qi Xinyue tried to calm herself.
Ding Huan had told her, facing any situation, even if the sky is falling, the foremost task is to remain calm.
"Disciple is willing," Qi Xinyue felt excitement about meeting Ding Huan at the Immortal Court.
She tried to hide her excitement, but among beings vastly stronger, it was impossible.
She knew Ding Huan well; he wouldn't act merely on the Divine Clan's words.
Ding Huan had his own stance; she didn't care how he would act.
Her mission was of no concern; she wouldn't return after meeting Ding Huan.
The Heavenly Emperor felt satisfied with Qi Xinyue's reply. In his mind, the Divine Clan's Sacred Female would naturally prioritize the Divine Clan.
No matter what, Ding Huan was a Human Clan cultivator.
Moreover, he didn't oppose Qi Xinyue being with Ding Huan.
"Heavenly Emperor…" Zuo Shanyi knew Qi Xinyue couldn't just go to the Immortal Court. If she did, his plans would be in vain.
He didn't do all this for the Divine Clan's safety or the Immortal Court army's retreat.
Those reasons were secondary.
He had his own objectives; now was his time to act.
