The stars occupied by the Immortal Realm were in the far north.
It was even more gloomy here, and it had been a long time since any sunlight had shone.
It wasn’t that the Immortal Realm didn’t want to occupy the central position of the Great Death Realm, it was just that they didn’t have the strength right now.
After Xu Zhen left, the Immortal Realm lost another Great Emperor Legacy, and it could be said that it was killed by Xu Zhen.
There was nothing much to say about this. After all, the Great Emperor Legacy went to kill Xu Zhen first, so dying could only be said to be reaping what one sows, and being inferior in skill.
But it was miserable for the Immortal Realm. Its combat power declined rapidly, unable to compete with other great interfaces for the central position, and could only cling on to life in the far north.
Moreover, the current Immortal Realm still didn’t have the arrival of a Quasi-Saint. The leader was Elder Li Xian, who had some authority, but he really didn’t have any strength.
As a result, the cultivators of the Immortal Realm were panic-stricken, always afraid that they would be wiped out by other great interfaces and all die in the Great Death Realm.
Elder Li Xian was also afraid. He even thought about inviting Xu Zhen back several times, so that he would have a little more confidence.
But before he went to invite Xu Zhen...
Brilliant rays of light suddenly erupted from the gloomy far north, brighter than the usual sunlight, like the dawn when the sun first rises!
All the cultivators of the Immortal Realm stared blankly.
Only Elder Li Xian reacted first, his expression ecstatic as he hurriedly knelt down and paid respects, “Li Xian pays respects to the Great Sage Chen Xi!”
The entire Immortal Realm cultivators were in an uproar, with surprised expressions. They didn’t expect it to be the Great Sage Chen Xi of their own Immortal Realm. Then there was the unrestrained joy, with radiant smiles.
In the bright light, a tall woman walked out, as if carrying all the sunlight. Her eyes were golden yellow, more like the great sun shining in them. She asked,
“Where is Xu Zhen?”
“Xu Zhen has... gone out.” Elder Li Xian was about to say she betrayed and fled, but thinking of the identity of the Great Sage before him, he hurriedly changed his wording.
This was the second ranked Great Sage of the Fuyao Immortal Sect. If he dared say Xu Zhen fled as a traitor, then he would really be courting death.
“Why did she go out,” Chen Xi asked again. Her eyes like the great sun were without any emotion, only the pressure from the Great Dao.
Sweat dripped from Elder Li Xian’s forehead. He stammered, “Seems... seems to have gone to see an old friend?”
“Who?” Chen Xi’s words were devoid of emotion, but carried inexplicable tremendous pressure, suffocating Elder Li Xian so he could hardly breathe.
He quickly replied in a low voice, “Chen... Chen Xia...”
Feeling that this was still not enough, Elder Li Xian plucked up his courage and added, “This person killed that Great Emperor Legacy.”
“...” Chen Xi did not reply.
Elder Li Xian was on tenterhooks, his back drenched in sweat. He plucked up his courage with great difficulty to meet Chen Xi’s gaze, as if to prove that he had no guilty conscience.
Chen Xi blinked.
Like the flash of the great sun!
Elder Li Xian's eyes were filled with flashing light, and the rampaging light poured into his divine sense, filling his sea of consciousness, breaking through his heart lake, as if constantly asking his heart!
He let out a miserable shriek, clutching his head and falling to the ground, rolling and wailing.
The cultivators of the Immortal Realm around lowered their heads, not daring to breathe loudly. They naturally knew that Elder Li Xian had done something wrong, and now he was getting the punishment he deserved.
Chen Xi stood above the light, spurting out emotionlessly again, "There won't be a next time."
The flashing light in Elder Li Xian's mind quickly dissipated. Covered in sweat, he trembled as he knelt up again and kowtowed to Chen Xi, “Thank you, Your Excellency!"
There was no response.
Elder Li Xian did not dare to expect a response either. He just knelt there.
Chen Xi stretched out her left hand and made a light pinching motion. A delicate star chart suddenly appeared in her palm, with stars connected by lines, and a very bright spot in the star chart.
This was Xu Zhen.
She clenched it in one hand, and her body instantly disappeared.
On a small star...
Chen Xia and the Big Yellow Dog were playing chess.
Three idlers from society were watching around them.
The chess pieces were carved from meteorite fragments, which was not difficult at all.
Chen Xia had not played in a long time either, so he wanted to play a few games with the Big Yellow Dog. After all, he didn't know when would be the next time he played chess.
The opening moves to blow up horses could only be used a few times before it would affect the feeling.
So Chen Xia and the Big Yellow Dog really started to play against each other.
In principle, they had played chess with each other for decades or hundreds of years, and should have some skills.
But the problem was that it had always been just the two of them playing against each other.
Two stinky chess baskets always playing against each other and not learning chess manuals, how could their chess skills be good?
The strength of Transcending Tribulation and Quasi-Emperor were of no use on a chessboard.
It’s not like the Big Yellow Dog could say, my knight piece has the strength of a Quasi-Emperor, and then start drifting, right?
That’s not possible.
Indeed, the Big Yellow Dog didn't do that, and then played evenly matched against Chen Xia.
The three idlers from society watched them play.
Ma Xiaohong didn’t understand chess, she stood behind Chen Xia, smiling whenever Chen Xia captured one of the Big Yellow Dog’s pieces, and frowning when it was the opposite.
Her stance was very clear.
Xu Zhen understood chess, but she didn't speak, just standing with arms crossed beside Chen Xia, teaming up with Ma Xiaohong as left and right bodyguards, cheering from the side.
Wang Yangzi stood a little closer to the Big Yellow Dog, with one hand resting on the hilt of his sword. His brows kept furrowing, as he was the one who understood chess the most, so he was also the most anxious one.
But there is a saying, "Silent while watching chess," so Wang Yangzi could only keep holding it in without speaking, his face flushed red, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously beside them.
There were a few chess moves that almost made him lose his Dao heart’s equilibrium.
The Big Yellow Dog glanced sideways at him and wondered, "Do you have something to say?"
Wang Yangzi hemmed and hawed for a long time before he could only say, "Nope."
He didn’t actually dare to be rude in front of the Big Yellow Dog.
After all, he was a Quasi-Emperor, an existence that could fight against two Forbidden Zone Lords. He estimated he was not far from becoming a Great Emperor, an existence he could only look up to.
The chess game between them continued.
Abruptly, a voice sounded, "Xu Zhen."
Xu Zhen was startled. She turned to look.
Behind the small star, there stood a woman with eyes like the golden sun. Her gaze looked only at Xu Zhen, no one else.
Chen Xia's hand that was moving chess pieces paused. He looked at Xu Zhen, seeming to realize something. But he didn't say anything, only rested his chin on his hand and started watching.
Xu Zhen pursed her lips, seemingly at a loss for words. After being silent for a long time, she softly said, "Master sister."
"Mm," Chen Xi made a sound of acknowledgment. Her eyes like the great sun softened and she said, "Come back with me."
Silence descended.
Xu Zhen had a complicated expression. After being silent for a long time, she shook her head, "Master sister, I still have things to do."
"What things?" Chen Xi asked again. Then without waiting for Xu Zhen to reply, she went on, "If it's for Chen Xia's sake, then I can bring him back together with you to Fuyao Immortal Sect. Or even if I bring all these people around you back, that's fine too."
Her words were not forceful, she was suggesting it.
But Xu Zhen was still hesitant, because she remembered Chen Xia had to go back to the realms.
She was somewhat embarrassed, distressed by the situation, wondering how to turn down Chen Xi’s invitation.
The Big Yellow Dog suddenly stood up with his hands behind his back. He earnestly advised, "Little sister, let your elder brother give you a piece of advice. Some things can't be forced. Just let nature take its course."
Chen Xi's eyes like the great sun looked at the Big Yellow Dog, gazing at him for a long time. Finally she turned her head and asked everyone, "Whose spirit beast is he?"
