Immortal of the Ages

After the golden-eyed youth left, Blue Star popped his head out from Yun Xiao's embrace, his eyes twinkling as he said, "His Seed of Creation isn't half bad."

"How so?" Yun Xiao asked, squinting.

"It's got a knack for bolstering the flesh without a whiff of demon aura about it, seeing as it's from a human and all. No need to hand it over to Moon Fairy; you can use it yourself. Might just beef you up a bit," Blue Star explained.

"Well, that's a stroke of luck. My Dantian and meridians are sturdy enough, but my flesh could use some toughening. Not for fighting, mind you, but it's good to have a solid foundation," Yun Xiao mused.

"Otherwise, you'll turn to a puff of smoke sooner or later," Blue Star chuckled.

"Buzz off." Yun Xiao ignored him, gazing in the direction the golden-eyed youth had gone. "Seems like in the Primordial Ruins, martial cultivation has got its own place. Might be worth a look."

He was set on reforging himself as a Creator Immortal, aiming to climb the ladder up the heavens!

From what Yun Xiao had heard, this divine vessel that soared through different worlds was surely a sacred place of the Immortal Dao, beyond any world's reach.

"But if it's always on the move, who knows when it'll swing by the Nine Hells again. Once I board, I might lose sight of Senior Sister Zhao..." Yun Xiao muttered.

"Which weighs more, rebuilding the Creator Immortal or your Senior Sister Zhao?" Blue Star asked, none too pleased.

"Don't be stupid," Yun Xiao replied, grasping at the air, "Senior Sister Zhao, of course."

"..." Blue Star was speechless.

"A lost cause!" Red Moon remarked.

"Lost in love, lost in life," Blue Star spat.

"You don't get it," Yun Xiao said with a slight smile. "Why do folks trudge so far, fight so hard, if not to make a better, dignified return home?"

With Zhao Xuanran, home was wherever they were.

Since leaving Azure Spirit, he wasn't just a wandering soul anymore.

So, the road home mattered most.

The golden-eyed youth's quest to find his brother was a journey destined to end in naught.

Yun Xiao braced himself for another round of confrontation.

Unexpectedly, before the golden-eyed youth could step out of the Immortal Asylum, the Primordial Guards he spoke of beat him to it.

BOOM! On this eerily silent night, the sky suddenly burst into dazzling starlight, followed by earth-shattering roars.

Yun Xiao looked up to see a colossal, colorful divine vessel descending from the heavens!

The vessel's brilliance illuminated the world like a moon falling from the sky, stirring joy in all beings.

To Yun Xiao, this colorful divine vessel was akin to a small city, capable of comfortably housing thousands.

But given the formidable power of the Primordial Ruins, the Primordial Guards would hardly need to cram.

"Powerful" Even though its passengers were yet unseen, Yun Xiao felt a palpable sense of awe. This was the natural suppression exerted by the mighty upon the meek on the ladder of the Immortal Dao!

With such powerhouses emerging one after another, Yun Xiao's rapid advancement through a major realm in ten days seemed insignificant.

"Fortunately, these noble cultivators from the Primordial Ruins bear no direct conflict with me."

Yun Xiao understood well that when encountering such beings, without an opportunity like the Sword Baptism Ceremony, it was best not to stir trouble and add to his challenges.

He wasn't afraid for himself, unencumbered as he was; he simply didn't wish to drag innocents into trouble.

Drawing unnecessary ire was not in Yun Xiao's playbook.

The incident with Yuan Jian and the Phoenix Demon Empress did highlight the inherent strife between the residents of the Primordial Ruins and the Nine Hells due to class differences, but that was more about Yuan Jian's character, an isolated incident.

As long as it went unnoticed, Yun Xiao didn't give it another thought. Just a minor skirmish. Hardly worth mentioning!

By then, the colorful divine vessel had descended before Yun Xiao.

The vessel's radiance cast a splendid glow on his white robe and black hair, adding to his stunning appearance and divine countenance He stood out, even more, superior to the Primordial Guards emerging in succession!

As Yun Xiao's gaze swept over, a group of immensely formidable figures emerged from the colorful divine vessel!

Clad in white armor, black iron boots, and hefty helmets, their imposing figures unmistakably belonged to Martial Cultivators.

Even Zhao Xuanran's netted stockings were magic treasures, so it stood to reason that their armor, boots, and helmets were top-notch treasures too, with runes flowing over them and a dazzling sheen, surely offering incredible protection.

"Even their standard-issue gear feels no less potent than the Dragon Wick Seal. And these Primordial Guards, their power and cultivation surpass even the Wick Devil!"

Yun Xiao was inwardly shaken. The might of the Primordial Ruins was evident! It existed in a different dimension on the ladder of the Immortal Dao, far from the Nine Hells. Its ability to traverse countless worlds and reign supreme surely stemmed from an overarching dominion.

These Primordial Guards were the epitome of the Primordial Ruins' supremacy!

Each one surpassed the Genesis Spirit Realm!

Yun Xiao, still in the Fate Ocean Realm, realized he couldn't take on even one Primordial Guard without merging with the War Princess and Moon Fairy.

And right now, there were about 250 of these guards before him!

Mostly in their prime, the resolute and icy expressions of the Primordial Guards revealed that these were battle-hardened warriors of the Immortal Dao!

"They're taking the matter of the Nian very seriously!"

Given that the golden-eyed youth could defeat the fiery-haired Old Immortal alone, dispatching such a formidable force from the Primordial Ruins was clearly to ensure the absolute eradication of the Nian, leaving no room for risk.

Yun Xiao didn't ponder further and stepped forward to greet them.

Just then, the 250 Primordial Guards parted to form a path.

Their solemn gazes indicated the imminent arrival of an important figure!

Yun Xiao halted and turned his attention that way.

Amidst the shimmering light of the divine vessel, a tall and graceful figure emerged, vaguely visible in snow-white battle armor and a combat skirt, with high-heeled boots, her long hair tied up, holding a phoenix-feathered helmet.

It was unmistakably a woman!

Yet, her presence was like a whirlwind, both enchanting and severe, with an otherworldly aura. Despite her long rounded legs and proud stature, no one dared meet her gaze directly.

Especially intriguing was the contrast between her softness and the armor's rigidity, with half of her fair complexion peeking through, creating a striking juxtaposition.

It was like watching milk swirl in a steel cup!

She stood before the Primordial Guards, at the prow of the colorful divine vessel, and as her jade hand rested on the ship's side, gazing out at the world, she effortlessly evoked a profound sense of awe. fr(e)enovelkiss

That's when it hit him. It was as if she were saying the whole world belonged to her! Conquered with just a glance!

"Now, there's a lady with an iron fist," Yun Xiao mused, taken aback.

Setting aside her commanding presence, from the standpoint of sheer might and the aura of intimidation, he reckoned she was a notch above the golden-eyed youth.

At a loss for proper titles, Yun Xiao dipped his head slightly and said, "Yun Xiao, at your service, esteemed Immortals."

The Primordial Guards had him pegged from the get-go. Their gazes were steady, any flicker of surprise owed more to Yun Xiao's striking looks and bearing than anything else.

"Yun Xiao?" The formidable lady leaned in, only then noticing the white-clad youth amidst the breeze.

She paused, a flicker of surprise crossing her face.

Clearly, compared to the stoic guards, her woman's intuition was more attuned to Yun Xiao's divine visage.

After sizing him up, her lips curled into a faint smile.

Then, turning her attention away from Yun Xiao, she gazed towards the Immortal Asylum and asked in a chilling tone, "Where's Yuan Wu?"

"He's dealt a heavy blow to the remnant of the Nian and is now in pursuit," Yun Xiao replied.

"Pursuit?" The woman seemed displeased.

Without another word, she gestured forward, and all the Primordial Guards behind her vanished from Yun Xiao's sight in a whoosh.

They split into eight squads, each entering through one of the eight gates of the Immortal Asylum, clearly a premeditated move.

After the guards dispersed, only Yun Xiao and the woman remained.

She soared into the air, her white cloak fluttering behind her.

In an instant, she was before Yun Xiao, her almond eyes glowing softly as she looked at him.

"You're Yun Xiao?" she asked, her lips parting slightly.

"Yes, Immortal." Yun Xiao nodded.

The woman reached out, gently caressing his cheek, then pinched it firmly, declaring, "After I slay the Nian, you're coming with me to the Primordial Ruins."

Yun Xiao blinked in surprise, asking, "Why...?"

"You'll see when we get there." With that, she vanished with a buzz, leaving Yun Xiao standing there, pondering.f reewe bnovel
