Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 371 - 369: Nine Nether Realm’s Response, Sending Envoys to Xuanzhou! In Danger—Ye Youyu’s Withered Netherworld Flower
Moments later, Lu Ye’s expression became serious as he spoke in a low voice.
"In other words, we are... a bit in danger right now."
Jiang Qingge glanced at her hand, surprised by Lu Ye’s words: "What happened to us?"
After a brief pause, Lu Ye said, "You must have guessed by now; your identity is not ordinary."
"And now, after this incident, it is very likely that someone is already looking for you at this moment."
Hearing this, Jiang Qingge fell silent.
Actually, she had suspected before whether there was something wrong with her, or rather... there was something questionable about her origin.
Otherwise, how could she have been unable to cultivate for the first twenty years?
And once she could start cultivating, it was as if her ren and du meridians had been opened, and her advancement speed was obviously abnormal.
Moreover, this incident happened tonight.
The stone-carved woman on this mysterious altar, with her noble and imposing aura, was clearly someone with an extraordinary background.
"So... should I prepare a fake identity for myself, just like you?" After thinking for a moment, Jiang Qingge said softly.
Hearing this, Lu Ye was somewhat surprised.
He hadn’t expected Jiang Qingge to think of it before he mentioned it.
Her mind is indeed quicker than her sister’s.
"That’s right, having a fake identity will make things a bit easier later on."
"Then let’s leave quickly; there doesn’t seem to be any other activity here," Jiang Qingge said quietly, seemingly a bit excited about the matter.
"You’re using the alias Chen Beixuan... what should I choose as my fake name?"
Seeing Jiang Qingge seemingly looking forward to it, Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.
What is she expecting?
Then, Lu Ye also stepped onto the altar and checked it.
After confirming that nothing was left behind, he took Jiang Qingge away from the deepest part of the Black Forest Swamp.
...
In a shop within a small town.
Lu Ye went alone in disguise to choose the most expensive and effective disguise mask from the shop, called Hundred Illusions, and the two returned to the inn.
"This mask, although named Hundred Illusions, can only change a few disguises at most, but it will suffice," Lu Ye said, "Try it and see how it works."
Jiang Qingge took it and applied it to her face...
Immediately, a face completely different from Jiang Qingge’s previous one appeared in front of Lu Ye.
After scrutinizing it for a couple of moments, Lu Ye said, "The effect is okay, unless someone knows you extremely well and is aware of some details about you, they won’t find anything amiss."
"What about you... can you spot it?" Jiang Qingge asked curiously, wearing her brand new face.
"Maybe," Lu Ye answered ambiguously without giving a definitive answer.
"That means you’re not familiar enough," Jiang Qingge said, biting her lip slightly, "But... I can recognize you, no matter how you disguise yourself."
"You should get used to your new realm, and we’ll go back tomorrow," Lu Ye said, shifting the topic.
"Then... could you not go out to cultivate tonight?" Jiang Qingge suddenly looked at him, "Didn’t you say it’s dangerous outside?"
...
Meanwhile, in a distant place.
This seemed to be another realm, where the sky was perpetually gray, as if covered with a veil.
However, the Source Qi concentration in this realm was visibly higher than in Xuanzhou, as if it were a more advanced spatial realm.
Behind a vast black plaza stood an extremely grand palace.
At this moment, a green-haired man on the palace throne suddenly rose, his pupils contracting violently.
"This... is the aura of the Nine Nether Empress?!"
"Wasn’t she supposed to have perished!"
As he waved his hand, a similarly withered Netherworld Flower appeared in the green-haired man’s hand.
Looking at the withered Netherworld Flower, a complex expression flashed in the green-haired man’s eyes, which soon turned ruthless.
"What happened back then has no turning back. If you fully recover... it will be us who die, Empress, forgive me!"
As the green-haired man infused some ghostly Source Qi into the withered Netherworld Flower.
This flower, rumored to have been the Nine Nether Empress’s Companion Flower, instantly emitted a faint light!
Seconds later, the Netherworld Flower dimmed again, seeming unable to function for some time, while the green-haired man’s eyes gleamed with determination.
"Cyan Origin Realm... Xuanzhou!"
"After such a great war, you didn’t completely perish. Indeed, you are the most talented in the Nine Nether Race for ten thousand years."
Having gained some vague guidance, the green-haired man’s expression still showed little ease.
Now, the reborn Nine Nether Empress has already obtained her first source.
Moreover, the green-haired man knows a bit about the Cyan Origin Realm, as it lies along the route of the Nether River crossing the Nine Nether Realm!
The territory is incredibly vast!
In one state, the population might be counted in the billions.
A vague approximate location is like finding a needle in a haystack, and people tend to move.
Most importantly, the already damaged cross-realm teleportation array can’t handle someone of his level traveling through it; only those with lower cultivation can go.
Otherwise, if the teleportation array is damaged, they could be thrown into the turbulent flow of realm space.
Even the green-haired man faces significant risks of perishing!
"Regrettably, the top Array Masters in the Nine Nether Realm have disappeared, and ancient relics like these, after repairs, have lost much of their effectiveness."
There are also rumors in the Nine Nether Realm about the Nether River being a passage to other realms.
Yet...
The horror of the Nether River makes even the green-haired man turn pale at the mention!
Since historical records, the Nether River has swallowed countless resentful souls, and the terrifying resentful power within it can’t be withstood by even an eighth-tier cultivator like him for more than a few minutes.
Walking through it, hoping to cross realms that way?
Nonsense!
After pondering for a while, the green-haired man waved his hand, and immediately a black-robed figure appeared, bowing to receive orders: "Domain Master, please give the command."
"Send two people to travel through the cross-realm teleportation array to the Cyan Origin Realm in Xuanzhou; I need them to perform some tasks," the Domain Master instructed.
"Domain Master... that teleportation array can no longer specify the destination."
The green-haired man frowned slightly. "Can’t you arrange for more people? A group of two at about the Tier Five realm, there will always be someone able to reach the Cyan Origin Realm."
"Yes! Domain Master!"
"Have them see me; I have matters to explain."
...
Meanwhile, in another Spiritual realm.
Again, a palace, but this place seemed to be an underground palace, built below ground level.
Ye Youyu, who had advanced to Tier Eight, now sharing the same realm as other Domain Masters of the spiritual realms, sat silently on the seat.
She also held a withered Netherworld Flower.
This was one of the nine Companion Flowers of the Nine Nether Empress from ten thousand years ago, grown in the Spirit Pool of her palace garden.
When the news of the Nine Nether Empress’s fall spread, the entire Nine Nether Realm mourned bitterly.
Along with it, the nine Netherworld Flowers also withered completely.
Subsequently, the withered Netherworld Flowers in the Spirit Pool were picked by some, and through various ancient rumors, the withered Netherworld Flowers became tokens each Domain Master possessed.
