Xiang Shaoyun left immediately, not giving the Dong Clan a chance to persuade him to stay, not even Dong Ziwan. Dong Qinggu offered to send them off with their teleportation portal, but even that was rejected.

Xiang Shaoyun did not wish to waste any time. His plan was to travel to the Bloodsin City and train on the way there. Only then would he have the ability to establish a footing for himself when he was finally at the Bloodsin City. As for Tai Kang, the King under his control, Xiang Shaoyun had left him behind.

When Dong Ziwan heard about their departure, she cried bitterly.

”Why are you so cruel?” weeped Dong Ziwan as she gazed at Xiang Shaoyun's departing back in the distant horizon. She considered leaving without saying goodbye as the cruelest thing he could do to her and reached a conclusion that he never saw her as anything more than just a good friend.

Dong Qinggu patted her shoulder and comforted her. ”He is not being cruel. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to help us solve our crisis. Perhaps he really has something he needs to do and does not wish for you to be his burden. He is in a sense a character with both ambition and ruthlessness.”

”I am already a Skysoar Realm cultivator. How will I be his burden?” Dong Ziwan questioned indignantly.

”Didn't you see how only Emperors are by his side? In other words, one has to at least be an Emperor to be of help to him. If you want to be with him one day, listen to your father. Start working hard in cultivation from now on. Only by possessing enough strength will you be able to prevent him from leaving without saying goodbye like this,” Dong Qinggu said.

At that, the tears vanished from Dong Ziwan's eyes, replaced by a bright look of realization. She said, ”Ok. From now onward, I will work even harder to become an Empress one day. No, I will become a Sovereign. I will ensure he can't escape me anymore!” She then bowed to Dong Qinggu and said, ”Great-grandfather, I beg you to open the clan's forbidden zone for me. I wish to enter.”

”What? You want to enter the forbidden zone? Do you even know how bad it is in there?” Dong Qinggu asked in shock.

”I know, but that is the only place that can increase my cultivation speed. I wish to give it a try,” Dong Ziwan said resolutely.

”A lot of geniuses from our clan have perished there in the past. Otherwise, our clan wouldn't have stagnated all these years. If it wasn't for the records of the ancestors stating that the forbidden zone is linked to our clan through fate, we would have destroyed that place long ago. I will give you three days to think it through. If you still want to enter after three days, I will allow it,” said Dong Qinggu. Fear could be seen in his eyes at his thought of the forbidden zone.

Once again, Dong Ziwan replied resolutely, ”No, I don't need that. I will go right now. I'm afraid I will lose the courage if I wait. Even if I end up dying, I won't regret it.”

Dong Qinggu gave her one long look before sighing, ”Fine. Since you have decided, I will allow you entry. I hope you will become the Dong Clan's miracle.”

...

Xiang Shaoyun was naturally unaware of the decision Dong Ziwan had made. Presently, he was seated on Jin Wo's back, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy around him. Even when flying high up in the sky, a certain degree of astral energy concentration could be found.

With the star congregation jade on him, he could increase his energy absorption rate by three times. He was trying to replenish the astral energies in his stars so as to create more nine-colored fog. He had a feeling the nine-colored fog would become his trump card. Thus, he had to take it seriously.

After one day, Xiang Shaoyun finally filled his six stars with energy. In fact, the stars had also grown somewhat. He then started transforming the different energies into the nine-colored fog. Once again, he formed some nine-colored fog, but he was only able to form a thin layer of it before he was drained of energy.

”Maybe I can try cultivating some spiritual plants and see if that will help,” Xiang Shaoyun muttered as he placed some soil in his astral cosmos sea before planting some spiritual herbs. He soon found that after the spiritual herbs absorbed the nine-colored fog, they became br.i.m.m.i.n.g with vitality, looking much more lively and l.u.s.trous.
