The answer that the Elder got back was just as Jiang Yi’s expectation. Xiao Fei wanted to leave with Jiang Yi, but Demon Empress wished to stay. Jiang Yi sat for a while before taking Jiang Xiaonu to the inner sanctum. He waved to the Elder and maidservants to ask them to leave them alone. Then, he looked at Demon Empress and said, “Demon Empress, how is your body recovering?”

“I’m much better now!”

Demon Empress was more composed. Perhaps, he was less nervous to see Jiang Yi, a junior who grew up under her watch. She stared at him blankly as if she was back in the Stellarsky Continent, and back to the day that she met him for the first time.

It was outside the Mt. Spirit Beast College. She was going to kill Jiang Yi, but Xiao Fei stopped her. After that, Xiao Fei and Jiang Yi became good friends, and she witnessed Jiang Yi’s growth step by step.

A few years later, the tender boy had turned into a handsome young man. Most importantly, his speed of growth was beyond her imagination. Jiang Yi deserved to be called ‘Young Master’ by Tuoba Qin and others. Moreover, Demon Empress was amazed at his strength alone.

“Jiang Yi, how... can you cultivate now? Did you find the Destitute Dragon Grass?” At last, Demon Empress couldn’t help but ask.

“Yes, I did!”

Jiang Yi sat on the bed and briefly told her what happened over these years, but he left the part about his mother and casually touched upon a lot of matters. Demon Empress and Xiao Fei couldn’t help but get emotional. Demon Empress could notice a lot of hardships that Jiang Yi was put through in his few words. She let out a gratified look after listening to Jiang Yi.

She didn’t say anything or express her gratitude. She just stared at Jiang Yi blankly and couldn’t suppress the pride she felt towards him. She always thought that Jiang Yi was a talent. Before he was crippled, she believed that a bright future awaited him. However, never did she expect that Jiang Yi was able to ascend to such an altitude and accomplish such great things in such a short time.

“Demon Empress!”

Even though Jiang Yi wanted to spend more time with Demon Empress, he had to bring it up when thinking about Black Deity and Qianqian who were still waiting outside. “I was going to take you and Xiao Fei back to the Gods Bestow Island, but you should be aware of Xiao Fei’s situation now. You decide whether you’ll stay or leave with us. You should be safe here, and Xiao Fei will grow very quickly. After my business is done, I will come back and visit you. If you want to leave, I can take you away at any time.”

“No, Xiao Fei doesn’t want this!”

When Xiao Fei heard him, she got anxious and shook her head hard like a rattle drum. Her big eyes were filled with a pleading look. She said, “Mother, I don’t want to be separated from Big Brother and Big Sister Xiaonu. Can we leave with them?”

“No way!”

It appeared that Demon Empress already made up her mind. She said in a firm voice, “Xiao Fei, Jiang Yi still has many things left undone. You are very weak now and will only become a burden. Mother’s demon core is destroyed, and she won’t be able to live for another 100 years. I hope that you can stay in the clan. When your strength improves, you can find Jiang Yi then; and I won’t stop you.”

Jiang Yi also nodded and said, “Xiao Fei, when you become strong, go and find me then. I promise to visit you whenever I can.”

Shh-shh-shh!

Just at this time, they heard footsteps from outside. Qianqian and Tuoba Qin walked in. Qianqian said with a smile, “Demon Empress, I have a command token. You can send voice transmission to me anytime. After I return to the Endless Deep Sea, I will send troops to help your White Fox Clan unify the Heaven Fox Continent. Thus, your safety won’t be a concern. Thearch Qin, if anything happens to Demon Empress and Xiao Fei, I will hold you responsible!”

Tuoba Qin trembled, and ten Elders behind her also became extremely excited. Tuoba Qin bowed at them with her group and said, “Thank you, Princess Qianqian. Rest assured. If anything bad happens to Tuoba Ning and Xiao Fei, I apologize with my life!”

Jiang Yi gave Qianqian a grateful look and was relieved. He stood up, touched Xiao Fei’s head, and said, “There is no time to be lost. Let’s leave for the Endless Deep Sea now. I’ll come back to see you after finishing my business.”

Xiaonu’s eyes got red, too. She held Xiao Fei in her arms, kissed her, and said, “Xiao Fei, Big Sister is leaving. You must listen to your mother.”

Xiao Fei knew that the thing was settled. She had no choice but to burst out crying and hold Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu with all her strength. Jiang Yi clenched his teeth, held her up, and put her down in Demon Empress’s arms. Then, he walked out with Jiang Xiaonu and rose to the sky straight away, along with Qianqian and Black Deity. Xiao Fei chased them in tears and shouted, “Big Brother, Xiaonu, you must come and visit me!”

...

Above the Endless Deep Sea, a giant black dragon thundered across the sky. It was so fast that by the time that powerful demonic beasts woke up in the ice sheets below, it had already disappeared into the distance.

“There are so many sea demons in the Endless Deep Sea.”

In the darkness of night, Jiang Yi sighed in secret at the sight of countless sea demons below. Qianqian and Xiaonu whispered to each other about strange stories in the Endless Deep Sea. It was their seventh day in the Endless Deep Sea. They were about to reach the center of the deep sea. Jiang Yi stopped cultivating in seclusion. He stood on the head of the black dragon and glanced at the numerous curious sea demons below.

Roar!

After flying for four more hours—just before dawn, the black dragon suddenly bellowed, waking up all the sea demons which had turned into ice statues above the ice sheet. The black dragon flew down rapidly, those sea demons fled in all directions hurriedly.

Bang!

A giant hole was cracked open in the ice sheet by the black dragon. Seawater splashed out, lifting thousands of waves. The black dragon rushed into the sea, Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu’s vision turned pitch black.

COMMENT

As expected, there was a transparent shield around the black dragon. He shot to the sea bed at lightning speed. The seawater was automatically divided. There was absolutely no seawater around the dragon, and so a vacuum was formed.

Swish! Swish!

The powerful beast aura was released by the black dragon. All the sea demons in the sea fled in horror. The black dragon shot straight to the bottom of the sea. Surrounded by darkness, Jiang Yi didn’t risk exploring with his divine senses. He reached his hand to Jiang Xiaonu and held her, waiting to arrive at their destination, the Xuanwu Palace.

Five kilometers, 500 kilometers, 50,000 kilometers, 500,000 kilometers!

Jiang Yi calculated the distance in his heart and was secretly amazed. With Black Deity’s speed, they traveled under the sea for five minutes and still hadn’t reached the bottom. This Endless Deep Sea deserved its name. It was disturbingly deep.

“There is light!”

After diving for another three minutes, Jiang Yi pointed to the front and exclaimed. Qianqian smiled and didn’t say anything. Jiang Yi fixed his eyes on the light below and watched it carefully.

The light spot gradually enlarged and became brighter and brighter. Jiang Yi and his group could roughly guess that there should be a shield below. What shocked them was that—after the black dragon traveled for several kilometers more, they still couldn’t see the scene under the shield clearly. Right now, the shield was at least tens of thousands of meters wide.

As they approached it, the shield became bigger and bigger. Thirty kilometers... 300 kilometers. Finally, it was so big that its end was beyond their view. What was underneath it was roughly visible.

“Uh...”

Jiang Xiaonu covered her mouth, and Jiang Yi was greatly astonished too. There was a huge underwater city inside the shield, which was ten times—a hundred times larger than the God Bestow City. Moreover, the scenery was very beautiful, and it was like a heavenly city.

Qianqian smiled gracefully and said softly, “Welcome to the base of the demon race—the Mystic Martial City!”
