“What does the Celestial Emperor mean by this?” Lonemoon asked.

Chen Ge fell silent for awhile before replying, “Do you all remember when I was still Ning Zi’an and had a demon seed planted inside me?”

Everybody stared blankly back at him. Lonemoon snuck a glance at Xuan Tong, who did not seem to notice anything wrong. Lonemoon replied, “I remember! Could that have something to do with Xin Han?”

“Indeed!” Chen Ge nodded. “I just remembered that today. Before I discovered the demon seed, I was invited by him to go to the Void Land to subdue a huge ancient beast. He said that the beast was at the east of Yi Shui, on a land that had been frozen for years. The people thought of various ways and means to chase it into the Void Land, and finally succeeded. To prevent it from coming out again, he invited me to go to the Void Land to subdue it. My Feng Cang continent has always been located really close to Yi Shui. I was afraid that should the beast escape, we would be affected as well. That’s why I agreed to go down and help him.”

“Could it be... That demon beast?” Lonemoon repeated in shock.

“I only realised later that the great beast was completely black. It travelled extremely fast so we could hardly detect its aura. In the beginning, I thought that this beast was just unique. Thinking back now, I know that the Void Land was a mess of immortal and demon Qi and thus I did not realise that the beast had demonic Qi in it.” Chen Ge frowned deeply. “Shortly after we subdued that beast, I was severely injured in another fight. Only after that I realised I had a demon seed planted in me.”

“You mean to say... Xin Han purposely led you there to plant the demon seed inside you,” Lonemoon summarised.

Chen Ge was not too sure himself. It was just that even after all these years, he could not figure out who it was that planted the demon seed inside of him. He had always thought it being the person he got into a fight with. But that person was an immortal – using immortal techniques. People who did not have demonic Qi inside of them could not plant demon seeds. He was a Celestial Emperor at that – the person who could hurt him so seriously must have been a Celestial Emperor as well. In the beginning, he suspected Chu Xuan- being the only Emperor whom Chen Ge did not get along with amongst the ten Celestial Emperors.

He glanced at Lan Hua with mixed feelings in his chest. But seeing as how Shen Ying and the others were still so calm, he decided to push his thoughts aside.

“Let’s not bother about whether this theory is true or not for now. All we can do is open the Bite of Ten Thousand Voids. Even if he isn’t a demon, he is very familiar with the ways of demons.” Lan Hua continued, “If he had been plotting this from a long time ago, we will not be able to find him easily.”

Everyone suddenly looked uncomfortable. Xin Han was way too good at hiding. Who would have thought that one of the Celestial Emperors whose relationship with Bai Qiao was so complicated would be related to demons? What’s more, they could not even guess what he was up to.

“What’s the Void Land?” Shen Ying suddenly asked.

“Exalted Goddess, that is a realm that is located on the west of the Bo Sea,” Chu Xuan, the mini encyclopedia, glared at Chen Ge. He immediately explained, “That’s the only wilderness located in the Bo Sea, but it’s closer to the west boundaries of the immortal realm. It is said that it is extremely chaotic there. That’s why there’s no form of life that grows there–no plants, no animals. Instead, it is filled with obstacles, demons, and things of Yin Qi. Nobody from the immortal realm likes to go...”

Holy shit!

Chu Xuan paused mid-sentence, eyes widening. “Xin Han couldn’t really have gone there, right?”

Everybody in the hall also reacted, shock evident on their faces. That was really possible. Lan Hua said one needed huge amounts of demonic Qi to open the Bite of Ten Thousand Voids, and that there would surely be a phenomenon where the exit was. In the entire immortal realm, the only place where there could be demonic Qi and phenomena occurring without rousing suspicions was the Void Land.

“We can only find out the answer by sending people to enquire of the Celestial Emperor of the Bo Sea, and sending others to the places surrounding the Void Land,” Lonemoon suggested. He looked at Chu Xuan and Chen Ge for approval.

Chen Ge nodded and turned to walk out of the hall. He conjured a transportation array and disappeared.

Perhaps it was just as Chu Xuan said–that Chen Ge had the best public relations among all the Celestial Emperors. Within two days, he received a response from the Celestial Emperor of the Bo Sea. Unexpectedly, there was no phenomenon that occurred in the Void Land.

But the other party also said that there was an important piece of news. The Cloud Sea, which was connected to the Bo Sea, saw a weird phenomenon in the last few days. The waters rose and flooded the nearby Yi Shui continent. Even the Cloud Sea’s Celestial Emperor Ying Zhi could not do anything about it. But the Cloud Sea was very much isolated and the immortals there did not interact much with the other immortals, so he was not sure what the situation there was like.

Lonemoon cursed under his breath. Now, there was another Cloud Sea to deal with. He gave up the plans to go to the Bo Sea and headed to the Cloud Sea together with Chen Ge, who suddenly recalled that he had a disciple to save, Boss Lan, Yi Qing and Shen Ying.

They could not sit still before they found out exactly what was going on with Xin Han. At Yi Shui, they were the ones who ruined his plan to perform the soul swapping. They were considered his arch-enemies. Knowing how scheming the man was, they were guessing that he was thinking of a way to deal with them. Invincible Sect had already got itself into such a mess – why not take the first step instead of sitting around and wait for trouble to come to its doorstep?

Chu Xuan remained behind to watch over the sect. They were confident that nothing much would happen there. Somehow, Lonemoon had a feeling that things weren’t as simple as they appeared.

The five of them spent a few days flying before they arrived at the Cloud Sea. From afar, they saw a thin white cloth floating down toward the ground from the sky. It looked like a silk ribbon that was joining the sky to the earth. Water flowed down from the belt into the Yun Feng continent.

This was Lonemoon’s, Shen Ying’s and Yi Qing’s first time in the Cloud Sea. Subconsciously, the three of them looked up at the sky and realised that they were an azure blue. Even atop their heads, water was moving non-stop. There were several types of spirit and immortal beasts swimming around in the water above their heads – big and small.

No wonder this place was called the Cloud Sea! There really was a sea among the clouds!

“Whoa!” Shen Ying could not help but exclaim at this sight that defied science. “Won’t this water... wu wu.”

Before she could finish speaking, Yi Qing’s and Lonemoon’s expressions changed. Both of them moved to cover her mouth.

“Shut up, let the immortal people of the Cloud Sea go?”

“Master, why don’t you have something to eat?”

Shen Ying: “...”

Lan Hua and Chen Ge, who did not understand what was going on: “...”

Lonemoon glanced at the thin cloth in the sky. This was the so-called phenomenon, right? The few of them flew over. Lan Hua took a closer look at the hole in the sky that seemed to be leaking. Then, he shook his head. There was no detectable demonic Qi here.

Lonemoon’s expression fell. Then, they all flew toward the entrance to the Cloud Sea. It looked like they had no choice but to look for the Celestial Emperor of the Cloud Sea to have a quick chat. The entrance was not far from where they were. In a little over ten minutes, they saw the heavenly gates.

Strangely, there were no immortal guards outside the heavenly gates. There was only a huge stone tablet in the middle of the gates. On it, a reminder was written in big red letters.

[A royal decree from the Celestial Emperor: Male immortals and dogs are not allowed in!]

The group: “...”

What does that mean? How did male immortals offend this Celestial Emperor? Why did he block the entrance with this huge stone?

“I almost forgot that Celestial Emperor Ying Zhi of the Cloud Sea is a female,” Chen Ge said.

“Don’t tell me that she... was hurt emotionally like Bai Qiao was?” It was obvious that she hated all males.

“What should we do?” Lan Hua frowned. “Will she tell us about Xin Han?”

“There’s an array on this stone tablet!” Yi Qing pointed forward.

Lonemoon: “Holy shit, it’s the Lonely Yang Array! It can destroy all Yang Qi. Exactly how much does this Celestial Emperor hate men?”

Lan Hua: “So only women can enter?”

Yi Qing: “Can we use the transformation technique?”

Chen Ge: “No way! The transformation spell cannot hide the Yang Qi in males.”

“Why not we let Radish turn into a woman and find out the situation inside? He’s a bit of both anyway – he has not decided what he wants to be!”

“Pui! I don’t want to turn into a woman!”

“Then what should we do? We can’t fight our way in, can we? We don’t have any females with us!”

“Why don’t we go in through the silk cloth back there?”

“That...” Shen Ying, who had been silent for a long time, could not help but raise her hand. “Have you forgotten that I’m a female!”

The five of them: “...”

They all fell silent for at least five seconds.

“Er... we really did forget,” Lonemoon answered. “Are you sure that you can look more like a woman than Radish can?”

Shen Ying: “...” Son of a b*tch!
