Chapter 1341: Chapter 7 Heating Up_3
Su He understood.
Even so, he felt that the Yuan Sovereign Clan had misused their innate abilities.
No need to ntion anything else—if they could communicate with future generations and plan successive contingencies carefully, they could ensure those plans would be executed perfectly.
Unifying all heavens would have been easily achievable.
The Yuan Sovereign Clan boasted countless geniuses, no inferior to those under Xuan Huang. One individual’s foolishness could not an collective stupidity. The reason they hadn’t achieved this must have been due to so unavoidable, objective factors.
But what could those factors be?
Speaking of this, Tan Tai raised his hand and pointed—imdiately, a carriage erged, clip-clopping its way out of a cave tucked into Sword Mountain.
“This is Baiyin’s personal carriage, always left in my care. If you’re representing Baiyin, you should project her identity.”
Su He burst into laughter.
Claiming he needed to return to Baiyun Palace—it was clear that Tan Tai had been wanting to drive him away this whole ti!
He grabbed Tan Tai and stepped onto the carriage. It needed no control, lifting into the air autonomously.
Leaving Sword Mountain behind, the vehicle began to shift, scattering beams of resplendent light into the air.
The carriage morphed, transforming into an intricate palace that mimicked Baiyun Palace perfectly from the outside.
The bronze horses pulling the carriage stretched their limbs and turned into four majestic creatures that Su He didn’t recognize—a display of absolute dominance and grandeur.
In an instant, what appeared to be an ordinary carriage escalated into a spectacle of unparalleled prestige.
Su He didn’t need to voice his confusion; Tan Tai Feng’s lips had already curved into a faint smile. He said, “You understand Baiyin’s nature—a born lover of bustling scenes, carefree and uninhibited. Sotis, she acts impulsively, rushing into outings like the Huangling Collection. She disregards Immortal Sovereign assemblies, choosing instead to set up stalls at the mountain base and read fortunes in disarray. However, she can also escalate things into elaborate and impressive displays.”
This ornate carriage was hardly much.
That said, when Baiyin decided to make a move, it went beyond re “ornateness.”
The four divine beasts pulling the carriage emanated the aura of supre immortals, their presence rivaling even that of Su He’s true form.
“These aren’t divine beasts,” Tan Tai shook his head slightly, explaining, “This was Baiyin’s spur-of-the-mont creativity. She believed these forms were more awe-inspiring and formidable and thus refined them into puppets.”
Su He examined closely, and then… found himself utterly baffled. He couldn’t sense any other capabilities of the four beasts.
The mont he boarded the carriage, it offered no resistance, allowing him to probe it freely.
The four beasts had absorbed countless precious materials; if transford into magical treasures, they could have beco four immortal artifacts fit for Immortal Sovereigns.
Yet their sole purpose now was—pulling the carriage!
Truly, nothing else beyond pulling the carriage! Absolutely no other function!
Such frivolity was just typical of Baiyin—what a reckless woman!
The carriage, front and rear, autonomously ford a ceremonial formation, with celestial phenona coalescing around its four corners. The driver, an elderly figure, snapped the whip once, and the carriage thundered upwards toward the heavens.
This old man was not a puppet but a manifestation of the carriage’s essence—not alive, yet not lifeless.
Nonetheless, Su He sensed that, if cultivated carefully, this elder-shaped essence might soday develop into a genuine “spirit.”
Beyond Sword Mountain, all around, ceremonial figures also erged, heading into the starry skies.
These were the Immortal Sovereigns of Xuan Huang.
Ten of them in total!
Nearly all of Xuan Huang’s Immortal Sovereigns were present here.
The carriage soared onward, smashing through the void and reaching a star domain in re monts.
This was… the Dark Dragon Ruin?
Su He imdiately recognized the surroundings—the current Sky Demon Star was precisely the future site of the Dark Dragon Ruin!
As the na suggests, it was a region of fragnted and ruined stars.
Su He exhaled deeply and turned his gaze toward Sky Demon Star. A colossal celestial body ca into view, enveloped in dense demon energy.
Yet, the demon energy carried no malignancy; it was rely another form of Yuan Qi, distinct from spiritual energy and fairy qi.
Suprely pure.
“The Demon Clan welcos Tiance Immortal Sovereign and Sword Immortal Sovereign!” With the arrival of the carriage, an announcent echoed across Sky Demon Star.
Su He wore an odd expression.
He had long known of Tan Tai’s title “Sword Immortal Sovereign,” but Baiyin being called “Tiance Immortal Sovereign” was entirely new to him.
On Sky Demon Star, a dignified middle-aged figure stood alongside Zhu Zhiyao. Both slightly bowed toward the carriage.
“Let’s go.” Tan Tai lightly tried to pry Su He’s hand away, but he didn’t release her.
Her cheeks flushed faintly, yet she ultimately let him lead her, stepping out of the palace carriage hand-in-hand.
The era wasn’t so rigid about the separation of n and won, yet a spectacle of lovers holding hands, particularly Immortal Sovereigns, was virtually unheard of!
As Tan Tai and Su He appeared, all eyes instantly converged upon them.
Everyone had expected Sword Immortal Sovereign and Tiance Immortal Sovereign. Never had they imagined it would be Sword Immortal Sovereign alone… while holding the hand of a man!
Zhu Zhiyao’s graceful deanor imdiately transford. Her expression beca imnsely amused as she chuckled loudly, mimicking Su He by giving him a thumbs-up, just as Su He had once done to her.
“Little brother-in-law, impressive!” Zhu Zhiyao transmitted privately.
Tan Tai’s expression had already returned to normal. Since she had accepted this, she cared little for others’ opinions.
What did outsiders’ views matter?
“Thank you, Sister!” Su He responded through a private transmission.
Zhu Zhiyao’s eyes lit up. Oh? No longer addressing each other as “fellow cultivators”? Definitely not a proper cultivator—such a developnt held so intrigue.
Co to think of it, it made sense. Could a proper cultivator possibly juggle two relationships?
Or was it not two but three, as Baiyin had hinted?
She laughed aloud and opened her mouth to inquire, “Why hasn’t Baiyin manifested herself, despite the convergence of her aura?”
Su He and Tan Tai released each other’s hands, and Su He cupped his hands politely, saying, “Greetings to the Demon Sovereign, and to the Demon Empress! Baiyin has pressing matters that prevented her from coming, so I’m here on her behalf.”
As he spoke, a turtle shell appeared above his head, symbolizing Baiyin.
The Demon Sovereign observed him and nodded faintly. “Excellent!”
Though he felt the scene of a man and woman walking hand-in-hand broke convention, having reached the Immortal Sovereign state ant disregarding the rules of mortals or even heaven and earth. What significance did man-made norms hold?
Last ti Su He ca, though he hadn’t directly interacted with the Demon Sovereign, Baiyin had dragged him everywhere; how could the Demon Sovereign not notice?
In fact, the Demon Sovereign’s manifestation atop Xuan Huang had largely stemd from Su He’s arrival!
Baiyin had snatched Su He’s corpse back, which led to Yuan Sovereign’s suppression of Xuan Huang.
Baiyin and Zhu Zhiyao shared personalities so aligned they were truly like-minded companions.
Regarding Su He, he knew most details.
This young man possessed extraordinary thods!
Baiyin halving her existence to beco his Dao companion was understandable. But that even Sword Immortal Sovereign would succumb—and they’d arrived aboard Baiyin’s carriage?
A life of fortune unparalleled!
The envy of all!
“How many years has Dao friend been back?” The ancient era had elapsed for eighty thousand years, yet Su Himself shouldn’t have endured for so long.
Su He smiled lightly. “Just over twenty years.”
The Demon Sovereign’s eyes glead. “Splendid!”
In twenty re years, he had ascended to the fourth realm of Immortality. With another century, he might truly reach Sovereign level!
Su He cupped his hands. “Elder praises too highly!”
Beside them, the Demon Empress giggled. “Call him brother-in-law!”
Following suit seamlessly, Su He cupped his hands and addressed the Demon Sovereign as brother-in-law.
The Demon Sovereign gave a resigned smile, while Zhu Zhiyao covered her mouth and laughed softly.
See that? That’s how one weaves familial connections across eras.
Whatever sches her husband had, they’d undoubtedly gain smoother execution.
Chuckling, Zhu Zhiyao said, “You’re one of us now, so big sister won’t need to host you formally. Tan Tai’s palace is at Fuliu Mountain, while Baiyin’s is right next to it at Wennai Mountain. As for the little brother-in-law… stay wherever you please. Worry not! Our family’s palaces offer unparalleled protection against prying eyes. Whatever happens inside, no one outside can detect!”
Her remark was accompanied by a playful wink in Su He’s direction—a nudge of encouragent.
Tan Tai simply ignored it.
The Demon Sovereign appeared helpless, a proper man overshadowed by his improper wife—what could he possibly do?
Su He grinned. “Sister, please carry on with your business without minding us! We’ll explore freely on our own!”
He spoke as his thoughts stirred, directing the carriage automatically toward Wennai Mountain. The vehicle, symbolizing Baiyin’s identity, was naturally drawn to her location.
He and Tan Tai Feng bid farewell, hand in hand, heading toward Fuliu Mountain.
It wasn’t until their departure that Sky Demon Star erupted with murmurs of astonishnt.
With Immortal Sovereigns present, no one dared to act unruly. Only now did the curiosity ignite completely.
That cool and aloof Immortal Sovereign, Sword Immortal Sovereign Tan Tai Feng, actually had a Dao companion!
And the Dao companion was an unknown man—not even an Immortal Sovereign yet!
Envy, jealousy…
