Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension-Chapter 327: Di Tianyang And Hu Xuanji, Guardians Of The Mortal World
Di Tianyang and Hu Xuanji hesitated.
Clashing with the Infinite Void Matriarch would mean severe injury if not certain death, and they won't be able to stop her either way.
At that time, not only will their lives be in danger, but the Second Great Mortal World would face great trouble as well.
After a moment of contemplation, both of them chose to back down with hesitation.
Since she said they were only here for a certain person and wouldn't involve the Mortal World, then so be it.
She wouldn't dare to go too far with the Sword Venerable still present in the Mortal World.
As if in tacit agreement, both of them decisively backed down.
A satisfied smile appeared on the Infinite Void Matriarch's face, and the Void Aircraft began to move forward again.
Di Tianyang clenched his fist, forced to swallow this humiliation.
He was, undoubtedly, a dignified Golden Crow, existing above myriad races, considered a top notch existence even among Demons, and even the Three Judges of the Supreme Divine Court were all ancestors of the Golden Crow Ancient Race.
He was inherently prideful, having been raised in such an environment, only to be cast down to the Lower Realm for his inferior talent and the schemes of the higher ups as soon as he achieved immortality, acting as the living sun of the Second Great Mortal World, being trampled upon by beings like the Infinite Void Matriarch.
He was the same, and so were the other eight Primordial Sun Stars in the rest of the Great Mortal Worlds. This situation has been going on for countless eras and epochs, when one of the Golden Crows dies due to insufficient lifespan, another from the 33 Heavens is sent to take its place.
He didn't resent the Mortal World, he resented his own lack of ability and the higher ups of his race.
But he couldn't do anything, only able to keep his head down when oppressed.
Revenge? That was a distant dream, never to be fulfilled.
For him, forget revenge, even surpassing the Vagrant Immortal Realm and becoming an Earth Immortal was a goal as difficult as ascending to heaven for an ordinary mortal.
He had long since given up, yet the innate pride of the Golden Crow and Supreme Yang Heavenly Fire still made him feel extremely humiliated whenever such situations occurred. More so, it was his own experiences, having seen the vastness of the heavens, he was truly unwilling to be confined to a well.
Hu Xuanji, on the other hand, was much calmer.
She was originally a native of the Second Great Mortal World, a Spirit Fox Demon Beast who was picked up by the previous Palace Master of the Moonlight Emergence Palace, became an Eight Tailed Celestial Fox, and took over the position of the Palace Master after her master's passing.
She also knew that the Moonlight Emergence Palace had an extremely ancient history, being one of the original 9 Lower Realm Lineages of a super powerful faction from the 33 Heavens, the Grand Yin Origin Immortal Mansion.
In ancient times, the Grand Yin Origin Immortal Mansion had 9 Dao Lineages established on the nine Primordial Moon Stars of the Nine Great Mortal Worlds, similar to Kunlun Divine Mountain and the Golden Crows to a certain extent, but after a great calamity, only the Moonlight Emergence Palace remained among them.
Having personally never witnessed that glory and grandeur, she accepted things as they were, not blaming her master for tying her to the Moonlight Emergence Palace's fate, preventing her ascension to the Upper Realm and a chance at greater heights.
Had it not been for her master, she might not even have reached the Golden Core Realm and become a Demon, much less being a Late Stage Vagrant Immortal now, overseeing the Primordial Moon Star and a historical legacy spanning the Heavenly Karmic Cycles.
But no matter what, both of them intuitively became slightly interested in the person mentioned by the Infinite Void Matriarch.
They didn't think it was the Sword Venerable; that being represented the pinnacle of humanity, of the greatest height mortal races could achieve without any extraordinary Connate Providence or celestial advantage.
Even in his twilight years, he could suppress the Infinite Void Matriarch with one hand and deal with the rest of those 18 Vagrant Immortals with another.
He was undoubtedly the most powerful person in the Lower Realm ever since the beginning of the Mythical Era.
But to be able to make a total of 19 Vagrant Immortals go to such lengths, including the Infinite Void Matriarch, who was invincible beneath the Perfected Vagrant Immortal Realm, this person must be extraordinary.
As if remembering something, Hu Xuanji's face showed a slight ripple, "Some time ago, there were fluctuations of a Early Stage Vagrant Immortal, possibly the revived Archaic Forbidden Demon God, in the Mortal World before being cut short by a Dharma Treasure. That Dharma Treasure's aura didn't seem to resemble the Wooden Peach Divine Sword."
Hearing this, Di Tianyang's expression also became subtle, and both of them exchanged glances.
If the Archaic Forbidden Demon God had truly been revived, they would have dealt with him.
However, that guy was killed as soon as he revived, and by a Dharma Treasure at that.
All of this seemed to point to a certain direction, and that was, there really might be either a peerless genius or a genuine Vagrant Immortal hiding in the Second Great Mortal World aside from the Sword Venerable!
Without talking any further, both of them transformed into streaks of light, one golden and the other silver, flying towards the Mortal World.
Even if they couldn't do anything, they at least had to observe the situation and confirm what was really happening!
The Second Great Mortal World was still considered the territory of their three Sword Venerable, Celestial Fox, and Golden Crow!
Although not comparable to the Void Aircraft, their speed was incredibly fast, following closely behind.
It was also at this time the Void Aircraft entered the Second Great Mortal World's ozone layer!
