Madam Leisure went silent for a long while before answering. "After the Beyond Heaven King disappeared, my Master abandoned everything and went to look for him."
Hearing this, Hongyue sighed softly. "What an infatuated woman."
She asked after a short pause. "Where is she now?"
Madam Leisure shook her head. "I have been trying to contact her, but it all failed."
"With her strength, no one in the Divine Realm can compete with her. She must be fine." Hongyue said gently.
"Why did you leave the palace?" She asked further.
Madam Leisure's expression became solemn as she replied. "The enemy took advantage of my master's absence to attack our Yaoxi Palace. In the end, we failed to protect it, and everyone scattered in all directions. Because of this, I was caught in the space turbulence and ended up here."
She sighed and said worriedly. "I don't know how the others are right now."
Hearing this, Hongyue waved her hand to create a forcefield filled with moonlights before saying. "Don't tell me it's Xikong Yi?"
Hongyue's eyes turned cold. "It must be him. Among the God Emperors, only he has the gut to attack Yaoxi Palace."
"It's indeed Heavenly Desolate God Emperor." Madam Leisure replied solemnly. "He came for the Yaoxi Jade Heart… Fortunately, Master took it away with her."
"Heh… He hasn't given up after all these years." Hongyue sneered.
After listening to the conversation, many questions popped up in Yun Lintian's mind.
What was the Yaoxi Palace? What was the Yaoxi Jade heart? And why would the second strongest God Emperor below the Beyond Heaven King, Heavenly Desolate God Emperor, want it badly?
However, Yun Lintian didn't ask anything in the end. Anyway, this matter was above him. He didn't need to know it right now.
"Come with me." Hongyue suddenly said and pulled Madam Leisure into the Land of Beyond Heaven.
Unlike the others, Madam Leisure didn't seem to be surprised at all. She looked around briefly and said. "A lot of things have been missing here."
"It's not easy for Lintian to collect those things with his current strength. It would take him a long time." Hongyue said casually.
She pointed at the Soul Lake and said. "You can use it freely."
Madam Leisure hesitated briefly and asked. "Can I bring my little maid over?"
Hongyue was slightly surprised. "If I'm not mistaken, she is a native here, right? Why are you caring about her so much?"
Madam Leisure's true identity was the mountain spirit of the Yaoxi Palace. She could be regarded as a God Emperor's servant. With such an identity, it was rare to see her attach so much attention to a mortal like this.
Madam Leisure sighed softly and explained. "Little Lan's fate is similar to my second sister. I am certain that Master would help her too if she knew about it."
An image of a small girl appeared in Hongyue's mind. She nodded slightly and said. "No problem."
"Thank you." Madam Leisure said gratefully before going out and bringing Little Lan over.
This scene rendered Yun Lintian speechless. It seemed he wasn't the master of the Land of Beyond Heaven anymore.
However, Yun Lintian had no problem with Madam Leisure's request. Anyway, Little Lan would stay inside for a long time.
"Do you want to know who she is?" Hongyue glanced at Yun Lintian and asked.
Yun Lintian opened his arms. "It doesn't matter. You can tell me if you want to."
"Her name is Yao Xi. The Yaoxi Palace was named after her." Hongyue said gently. "Like many other women around him, Yao Xi is one of those affectionate women who love the Beyond Heaven King dearly."
Yun Lintian nodded slightly as he already knew how flowery the Beyond Heaven King was.
"Her strength is similar to Xikong Yi. In fact, she is even stronger than him. It's just that she doesn't care about worldly affairs. Let alone compete for the hegemony." Hongyue said further.
Yun Lintian was surprised to hear this. "She's that strong? Why didn't the Beyond Heaven King accept her?"
Hongyue curled her lips. "Why don't you accept Yun Qianxue and Shen Liqiu, then?"
Yun Lintian's face cramped, and he immediately went silent.
Seeing this, Hongyue sneered. "Men are all the same. They don't dare to accept people who love them and sacrifice a lot for them, but always look for other women outside."
Yun Lintian subconsciously looked away, pretending to be deaf.
Hongyue said further. "As for the Yaoxi Jade Heart, it is the ultimate treasure that condensed from Yao Xi's lifetime enlightenment. Xikong Yi wants to get it to help him surpass the God Emperor Realm."
"Wait a minute. There's a realm beyond the God Emperor Realm?" Yun Lintian involuntarily frowned upon hearing this.
"No one knows. But it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, right?" Hongyue responded calmly.
Yun Lintian went silent. Indeed, who said the God Emperor Realm was the highest?
Like those novels he had read before, when everyone thought it was the highest realm, there would be another realm beyond it… Perhaps, it was the same here.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. "Well, let's put it aside first. It's still too far from me."
Hongyue took a deep look at him and said. "I am waiting to see you step into the Divine Realm."
Yun Lintian didn't understand why Hongyue suddenly said this, but he still responded confidently. "It won't be long."
Hongyue said nothing further and returned to the villa.
Just as Yun Lintian was about to put the gate away, a strong fluctuation abruptly burst out from inside, making him subconsciously look at it.
At this moment, Nantian Fengyu suddenly soared into the sky above Misty Lake. Her entire body was covered with scorching Phoenix flames, and a pair of Phoenix wings was behind her.
Her aura rose through the roof as her profound strength climbed up… This was the sign of a breakthrough!
Rumble—
The sky inside the Land of Beyond Heaven turned dark as black clouds gathered.
Seeing this, Yun Lintian's figure flashed, reappeared beside Nantian Fengyu, and summoned the Golden Mountain.
In that instant, a strange scene occurred. The dark sky suddenly roared and slowly disappeared as if nothing had happened.
"What the heck?" Yun Lintian was stunned… Did the Heavenly Tribulation get angry and disappear on its own?
Boom!
At this moment, Nantian Fengyu's aura burst out before slowly calming down a few minutes later.
She had successfully stepped into the first level of the Divine Foundation Realm!
