Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1150 - 1147: Yaochi Saintess Beiming Xue!

Above the firmament, Ziwei Star Domain, Turquoise Pool:

Here lies the abode of the Nine Layers Heaven, the plane dominating countless small worlds.

The Jade Palace shrouded in immortal mist, veiled and blurred, like a jade belt spanning the sky.

In the middle of this expanse of sky, there’s a vast lake, its water azure and tranquil, gracefully captivating anyone who gazes upon it.

Such a celestial paradise, dazzling to the eyes, exquisite beyond measure.

Yet, compared to the radiant beauty of a certain woman, even this enchanting celestial realm would bow its head in shame, admitting its inferiority.

Even the brightest star above the firmament pales into insignificance upon seeing her brilliance.

She is the Yaochi Saintess, Beiming Xue!

Beiming Xue sits serenely before the Turquoise Pool, her slender fingers like dancing sprites, gliding over the Phoenix-tail Zither.

Its sound resonates mournfully, yearning and lamenting, continuous and delicate, resembling threads without end.[Note 1]

Its mournful melody moves all who hear it to tears.

As she plays with passion, a crisp sound suddenly rings out.

The zither string abruptly snaps!

To convey one’s heart through the zither strings, but where are listeners when the strings break?[Note 2]

Gazing at the snapped string, Beiming Xue is momentarily lost in thought.

Faintly, she returns to the past, seeing that familiar silhouette.

Once in Flower Mountain, shrouded in mist, amidst scenic splendor, at dusk we sang together and drank from the cup...[Note 3]

The familiar melody echoes around her, unwittingly, tears fill her eyes, trickling down her cheeks, shattering upon the ground like petals.

Not only her tears but also her heart is broken!

Once, she killed her beloved with her own hands, burying all that was beautiful!

But is she truly to blame?

Faced with the situation then, did she have any choice?

If she hadn’t acted, the entire Ziwei Star Domain, countless beings would have been obliterated, turned into nothingness.

At this moment, a woman clothed in a plain robe, wearing smoked makeup, gently descends.

Observing the scene before her, her delicate brows furrow slightly.

"Junior sister, are you thinking of him again?"

From the voice, Beiming Xue knows her senior sister Yaoji has arrived.

She hurriedly wipes away the tears on her cheeks, forcing a smile, saying, "No, senior sister, why have you come?"

Yaoji understands her junior sister’s thoughts, but some matters are better left unsaid directly.

She sighs lightly, then smiles with dimples before saying, "Junior sister, trouble has arisen in the Lower Heaven!"

Beiming Xue is surprised, her gleaming eyes staring blankly at her senior sister Yaoji.

The vast universe is teeming with stars. The Three Thousand Worlds and countless smaller worlds.

For them, mutual disputes and even wholesale annihilation are common occurrences.

As long as they don’t go too far, threatening their status in the Upper Layer Heaven, they enjoy the spectacle as mere onlookers, watching the mutual conflicts.

Besides, even if trouble arises in the plane star domains under their jurisdiction, senior sister Yaoji should have reported to their master, Emperor Ziwei, rather than come hurriedly to discuss it with her.

Thus, Beiming Xue feels a myriad of doubts in her heart.

Seeing Beiming Xue’s inner thoughts, Yaoji quickly explains, "The Mayan Star people of the MT3 nebula in the Second Layer Heaven of the Galaxy Star Domain plan to enslave Earth!"

Upon hearing "Earth," Beiming Xue’s heart suddenly aches.

It seems he comes from that beautiful blue planet!

Yaoji glances at Beiming Xue, saying, "Junior sister, let me go to the Lower Realm!"

Beiming Xue shakes her head, saying, "I should be the one going, no matter what, it’s his homeland. Let me do one last thing for him!"

Seeing Beiming Xue’s resolve, Yaoji gently nods, agreeing, "Alright, be careful!"

"Here is the star map, marking the precise locations of the Mayan Star people!"

Beiming Xue takes the star map, forcing a smile toward Yaoji.

Soon, a wisp of her Divine Soul transforms into shimmering light, merging with the star map.

Meanwhile:

M13 nebula, 1.65 light years away from Earth.

A super fleet of over one million interstellar warships is moving at 1/3 the speed of light, swiftly traversing the dust-filled nebula.

This is the main fleet of the Ancient Maya!

Mayan monarch Yarisha is gazing at the distant firmament.

Not long ago, their Ancient Maya made a qualitative breakthrough in curved engine quantum technology, enhancing speed from the previous 1/10 light speed to the current 1/3 light speed.

Thus, there won’t be much time before they enslave that blue planet called Earth.

Thinking of this, Yarisha is filled with pride.

Just then, the engineer in charge of intelligence rushes in urgently.

"Monarch, it’s bad, Bruce stationed on Earth is in trouble!"

Yarisha is shocked, urgently asking, "What happened?"

The engineer doesn’t reply but decodes Bruce’s transmitted video, projecting it onto the command room’s LCD screen.

On the screen, an old warship of their Ancient Maya, long retired, is cleaved in two by a human cultivator wielding a terrifying Sword Intent.

This scene strikes all the Mayans in the command room with shock.

After a long pause, Yarisha’s face darkens, asking, "When did Earth have such powerful cultivators?"

However, everyone in the command room exchanges puzzled glances.

They’ve remained on the Mother Star, and all Earth’s intelligence was transmitted by Bruce and the Kela Ant through super satellites.

Who knows how such powerful cultivators appeared there?

"Monarch, the power assessment results of that cultivator named Immortal Master Li are out."

Their instantaneous attack power approximates an equivalent of 270 million tons of nuclear warheads, and their defensive power is about 250 million tons.

According to cultivator levels, they should be in the Late-stage Nascent Soul, but their combat competence is abnormally strong, able to rival Divinity Transformation experts.

Upon hearing the assessment report, Yarisha frowns, asking, "Can our current warships withstand their full-force attack?"

The engineer nods, replying, "Monarch, our newly developed warships can withstand attacks up to 300 million tons of nuclear equivalent. Facing this cultivator named Immortal Master Li poses no problem!"

Upon hearing the engineer’s report, Yarisha finally nods reassuringly.

"That’s good. Upon reaching Earth, I want to slaughter the indigenous humans, using the blood of these ants to commemorate our Bruce and others!"

"Whish!"

At that moment, a dazzling light suddenly appears amidst the endless darkness ahead...
